Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for November 20,2017 <br /> Page 6 of 6 <br /> Discussion Gravel Roads <br /> Haas added this to the agenda to discuss issues related to gravel roads. He stated he had received <br /> a lot of phone calls recently on the condition of the roads, and the public needs to be informed on <br /> what the City is doing. <br /> City Administrator Bryan Bear offered a brief explanation of the gravel road situation explaining <br /> that after a final road grading last year, we didn't get the dry weather needed. Instead it snowed <br /> in late October, which caused some of the roads to be sloppy. We have tried some things with <br /> the gravel mix that may have helped some of our roads, but not as much as expected. Staff is <br /> doing a complete evaluation of the materials being used on the gravel roads and we don't know <br /> the scope of that yet. It could result in the reworking of our gravel specs and possibly a future <br /> workshop with the Council. He stated there have been ongoing discussions on the benefits and <br /> consequences of using dust control and would like to include that in the evaluation. Council <br /> agreed that something needed to be done and a message needed to go out to the public. <br /> Haas made motion, Klein seconded, to direct staff to inform the public that Council is aware of <br /> this issue and that staff is investigating and looking for a solution. <br /> Weidt made motion, Haas seconded, to amend the motion to direct staff to schedule a workshop <br /> over the winter to discuss gravel roads. <br /> Vote on amendment - all Ayes.
