G.5 Approve Resolution Approving Conditional Use Permit for Kersten Auto at 15587 <br />Forest Boulevard North <br />Scott Kersten, owner of Kersten's Auto Sales, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use <br />Permit (CUP) for auto sales, auto body repair shop, and outdoor vehicle storage at the property <br />located at 15587 Boulevard North. The applicant would like to consolidate his current business <br />locations in Hugo into one location. At its August 9, 2018, meeting, the Planning Commission <br />held a public hearing and considered the request. The Commission recommended approval of <br />the CUP. Staff recommends Council approve the resolution approving the CUP for auto sales, <br />auto body repair shop, and outdoor vehicle storage at the property located at 15587 Boulevard <br />North. <br />G.6 Approve Shared Service Agreement for Vehicle Gateway Base (VGB) with White <br />Bear Township <br />City Staff has recently purchased a Vehicle Gateway Base (VGB) station which allows for <br />water meters to be read remotely from inside a vehicle. This purchase was made jointly with <br />White Bear Township as both the City and the Township use the same meter reading <br />technology. The cost of the equipment was split evenly between the two municipalities and an <br />agreement was drafted which identifies operation and maintenance terms. Staff recommends <br />Council approval of the attached agreement. <br />G.7 Approve MOU for Completion of CWF Competitive Grant Application for CSAH 8 <br />Water Reuse Project <br />The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) has a Clean Water Fund (CWF) Project and <br />Practices Competitive grant application that staff feels the County Road 8 Stormwater Reuse <br />project would score well on. RCWD and the City agree that it is mutually beneficial to <br />cooperatively undertake these types of stormwater reuse projects to improve surface water <br />quality and reduce the stress on local aquifers due to increased water demands. RCWD has also <br />agreed to reimburse the City up to 50% of the costs associated with the completion of the CWF <br />Project and Practices Competitive grant application, not to exceed $4,300. This is outlined in a <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Hugo and RCWD. The CWF <br />Project and Practices Competitive grant currently has $11.6 million dollars available for FY <br />2019 and requires a 25% match. BWSR had made this grant available for projects that will <br />protect or restore water quality in lakes, rivers or stream, and/or will protect groundwater or <br />drinking water. The City has already received up to $60,000 from the RCWD's Urban <br />Stormwater Remediation Cost -Share Program for this project, which can be used in conjunction <br />with any other funding that may be obtained. The total estimated project costs for the County <br />Road 8 Stormwater Reuse system were estimated to be $440,000. Staff recommends Council <br />approve the MOU with RCWD and apply for the Board of Water and Soil Resources Clean <br />Water Fund Project and Practices grant <br />H.1 Update on National Night Out <br />National night out was held on Tuesday August 7�h.
