Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for October 21, 2019 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />to meet the matches for their grant dollars. He provided information on the proposed projects <br />and stated that even with the proposed increase, the CMSCWD is still the lowest levied district <br />in Washington County. He talked about how the levy had maintained a conservative budget over <br />the years, but now there are upcoming grant funds available that need to be matched. The <br />proposed 2020 budget is $1,296,088, and subtracting $466,900 in grants, the proposed levy <br />would be $770,000, an $180,000 increase. <br />There was discussion on how the CMSCWD could spread out projects over time to avoid huge <br />levy increases. Insensee stated their goal was to improve their success with grants; partnerships <br />and external funding sources will be the way to keep them moving forward. The Council <br />encouraged transparency credited them for what they are doing. <br />CSAH 8 Trail Improvements & Stormwater Reuse <br />City Engineer Mark Erichson explained how the CSAH 8 Stormwater Reuse Project is related to <br />the City's goal to reduce the use of potable drinking water drawn from the aquifer for irrigation <br />purposes. This project would irrigate approximately six acres of the median and boulevard for <br />the length of the County road from Elmcrest to Highway 61. It was estimated to utilize <br />approximately 4-million gallons of stormwater annually for irrigation. In 2017, the City had <br />received a $60,000 grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District as part of their Urban <br />Stormwater Remediation Cost -Share Program that needed to be used by 2019. Erichson stated <br />that the district would likely provide an extension. The City was recently notified they received <br />$50,000 as part of a Metropolitan Council Stormwater Grant. The total anticipated project cost <br />was $545,000 with a total of $110,000 secured in grants to offset the City share of the costs. The <br />unfunded amount was $435,000. This project did not have a reimbursement component as other <br />projects do. Erichson stated he had discussions with the finance director who indicated there <br />would be enough money in the stormwater fund, but it would limit the ability to do stormwater <br />pond maintenance. Erichson said they were still looking for grant opportunities and can bring <br />back to Council more details of the stormwater fund in relation to this project. <br />Council questioned what Lino Lakes was doing on their end of the county road, whether the <br />Washington County could contribute to the project, and if this project could be connected to <br />future projects. Staff responded that there was not much landscaping in the Lino Lakes portion of <br />the boulevard. Washington County could be asked to help with the project, but it's not their <br />obligation to do the landscaping. Also, there was a sizing component to connecting to other <br />developments, but it could be evaluated moving forward. <br />There was a consensus to move forward with asking the Rice Creek Watershed for an extension <br />of the Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost -Share Program Grant. <br />Road Capital Improvement Plan and 2020 Project Selection <br />City Engineer Mark Erichson presented information on the proposed 2020-2025 Capital <br />Improvement Plan. He explained the staff had evaluated City streets by conducting pavement <br />condition ratings and road tours to prioritize improvement projects. The Capital Improvement <br />Plan (CIP) provided a schedule for the various roadway improvements that are necessary to <br />maintain the City streets in an effective and efficient manner. Erichson highlighted the proposed <br />areas and described what each project would be and the costs based on type of improvements <br />anticipated with the projects. Erichson stated he had met with the City's finance director and <br />
