Approve Purchase of Aerial Truck for the Hugo Fire Department The City Council had established a committee to evaluate and make recommendations on the purchase of a new aerial truck for the Hugo Fire Department. The Equipment Fund included the purchase of a truck in 2021 when another existing truck would be eliminated from the Fire Department fleet. The Committee had recently located a slightly used aerial truck that is available at a reduced price. Fire Chief Kevin Colvard explained a pumper truck would be taken out of service and this new truck would be a pumper and aerial truck. Mayor Weidt explained one of the goals of the committee was to be willing and able to act if the right vehicle was located.

Belfiori said Hugo is one of the most rapidly growing cities in the state, and this drainage system is critical infrastructure as the sole outlet for the area. He explained the four year repair process began with confirming the "as constructed" profile. Options are being identified to determine what depth the ditches should be repaired to. Meetings will then be held, repair funds will be identified, and if approved, a final report would be done and repairs completed. Otterness talked about things they found when surveying the system and noted there is a substantial amount of development close to the channels of the ditch system, which creates
