Motion carried. <br /> Approve Purchase of Aerial Truck for the Hugo Fire Department <br /> The City Council had established a committee to evaluate and make recommendations on the <br /> purchase of a new aerial truck for the Hugo Fire Department. The Equipment Fund included the <br /> purchase of a truck in 2021 when another existing truck would be eliminated from the Fire <br /> Department fleet. The Committee had recently located a slightly used aerial truck that is <br /> available at a reduced price. Fire Chief Kevin Colvard explained a pumper truck would be taken <br /> out of service and this new truck would be a pumper and aerial truck. Mayor Weidt explained <br /> one of the goals of the committee was to be willing and able to act if the right vehicle was <br /> located. This truck had been used slightly for demos and was brought to the City's attention at <br /> the end of November, which was earlier than expected. The Committee recommended the <br /> Council approve the purchase of an aerial truck in an amount not to exceed $1.1 million subject <br /> to compliance with legal requirements. <br /> Weidt made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve the purchase of an aerial truck in an amount <br /> not to exceed $1.1 million subject to compliance with legal requirements. <br /> All Ayes. Motion carried. <br /> Discussion on Rice Creek Watershed District Maintenance of Judicial Ditch 3 <br /> RCWD Administrator Phil Belfiori and Engineer Chris Otterness presented to Council <br /> information on repairs to Judicial Ditch 3 and Judicial Ditch 2, Branches 1 & 2, located in Hugo. <br /> The Rice Creek Watershed District is the drainage authority for these ditches and was <br /> considering repairs to be completed in 2019-2020. <br /> Belfiori provided background on the Rice Creek Watershed District explaining they manage 120 <br /> miles of public ditches and tile systems on behalf of landowners as required by Minnesota law. <br /> The repairs are needed so ongoing maintenance is more cost effective. This will also provide <br /> predictable drainage and stormwater management for upcoming developments. Belfiori said <br /> Hugo is one of the most rapidly growing cities in the state, and this drainage system is critical <br /> infrastructure as the sole outlet for the area. He explained the four year repair process began with <br /> confirming the "as constructed"profile. Options are being identified to determine what depth <br /> the ditches should be repaired to. Meetings will then be held, repair funds will be identified, and <br /> if approved, a final report would be done and repairs completed. <br /> Otterness talked about things they found when surveying the system and noted there is a <br /> substantial amount of development close to the channels of the ditch system, which creates <br />
