Kazmierczak explained the driving factors for the $326 million bond <br />referendum were in response to the new strategic plan, taking into consideration enrollment, <br />safety and security, aging facilities, and the future of educational programming. The strategic <br />planning process took place over a seven month period with 90 community members and <br />several subcommittees. The plan impacts all the buildings throughout the district and would <br />reduce the number of transitions between schools. A 375,000 square foot addition would be <br />added to the north campus in White Bear Lake for all 9-12 grade students, and a new <br />elementary school would be constructed in Hugo. Impact to voters would be $23 a month on <br />the average home value of $275,000. They answered questions from the Council on how they <br />were engaging the public moving forward saying they have done mailings, and there was an <br />advocacy group working separately from the district. Kazmierczak said there are community <br />meetings, and they are willing to speak to anyone about this. He invited people to reach out to <br />him. <br />Minutes <br />HUGO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />HUGO CITY HALL <br />TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2019 – 7 P.M.
