Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for March 18, 2019 Page 3 of 8 treated and transported. Almendinger stated that there has been a steady increase in calls over the past four years, and there is no sign of it going down. Ninety-nine runs were to the Keystone Senior Living Place, and 93 of the patients were transported. McDonough reviewed the coverage plan and how they move the trucks around to get better coverage Weidt asked about response time changes over the past few years. Almendinger replied they will work to get those numbers, but they do see a trend that they are slightly increasing. The most restrictive time constraints are in Hennepin County where they require a 10:59 second response. North Memorial uses that as a gage to determine whether or not they are close to optima. Almendinger stated they will work on response time data with the Fire Chief. White Bear Lake School Facility Report Weidt added this to the agenda for School Superintendent Dr. Wayne. Kazmierczak to provide an update on the White Bear Lakes School District (ISD 624). Kazmierczak presented on overview of their strategic plan, which is available to the public. The plan involved the work of 30 people who met at Hugo City Hall. One thing that emerged was to ensure learning environments enhance students' education. The district had been working on facility planning, and he presented maps of the school district showing that schools were concentrated more to the south. Oneka Elementary School was built in 2003 and serves Hugo along with the Hugo Elementary School. Studies are being done to anticipate what to do with housing growth, mainly in the northern part of the district, and Kazmierczak provided information on potential future developments. Enrollment projections showed they will be at more than their capacity at 75 % agricultural land buildout by adding approximately 2000 students. With Hugo adding many to the anticipated growth, there will be space issues. Tim Wald, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations, stated he worked with the facilities committee identifying needs. Ninety people served on the committee, which met in October, 2018. Different subcommittees looked at different needs and how those needs were being met. A solution subcommittee consisting of 30 of the original committee members was still working on solutions, and what to expect in Hugo is yet to be determined. He stated that it is likely land will be needed to build a school in Hugo. They have purchase agreements with properties on the east side of Everton Avenue and will need to navigate the process to meet all requirements for construction. They should have a clearer idea of where they are at the end of the week. All of the information the committee was provided is on their website. Weidt said the City looks forward to working with them on a solution. Approval of the Consent Agenda Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to approve the following Consent Agenda: 1.
