Motion carried. <br /> <br />Approve Resolutions Adopting the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Local Water Plan <br /> <br />Community Development Director Rachel Juba provided background on the Comprehensive <br />Plan update process. Beginning in January, 2017, the City held meetings, workshops, and open <br />houses to solicit resident input, and a public hearing was held by the City Council in April. On <br />March 4, 2019, the City Council authorized submittal of the Comprehensive Plan to the <br />Metropolitan Council, and the Met Council approved it at their October 23, 2019, meeting. <br /> <br />Juba explained there have been no land use changes and forecasts were moved up a decade from <br />the 2020 plan. The parks chapter of the plan had many changes, and there were changes made <br />due to new requirements of the Metropolitan Council. Included in the 2040 plan approval would <br />be the Fair Housing Policy, which outlines resources the City will have available on housing <br />opportunities. This will allow the city to be eligible for some grants. Also included was the <br />Local Water Supply Plan, which was required and approved by the DNR and addresses water <br />conservation and emergency preparedness in case of a water crisis. <br /> <br />After the City formally adopts the Comprehensive Plan, work would begin on the adopted <br />implementation items. The City is required to amend the City Code to be consistent with the <br />Comprehensive Plan within nine months of adoption. Staff will be reviewing zoning districts to <br />make sure they are consistent with the plan, and staff will coordinate with the Met Council on <br />wastewater service feasibility for eastern Hugo. Juba recommended revisions to the code be <br />done through the Ordinance Review Committee, who will make recommendations to the City <br />Council. The City could then hold public hearings on these revisions. <br /> <br />Klein made motion, Haas seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2019 – 49 ADOPTING THE <br />2040 HUGO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE. <br /> <br />All Ayes. <br /> <br />Yellow Ribbon Network Update <br /> <br />Council Member Chuck Haas and Council Member Phil Klein reported on the Yellow Ribbon <br />Network activities held recently. On Saturday, the YRN helped the Forest Lake Rotary Club pack <br />over 900 lbs of care package items. He showed photos of the boxes they decorated and some of the <br />recipients. The YRN will be inviting the club to a meeting in December to recognize them. At that <br />same meeting, awards will be given to the Burger Night sponsors. Next Monday night, November <br />25, 2019, Culvers in Vadnais Heights will donate 10% of that evening’s proceeds to raise money to <br />support the troops. This is being done as a project of an Eagle Scout who lives in White Bear Lake <br />and works there. The YRN had been receiving requests from deployed families for home repairs, <br />snow plowing, and construction of a handicap ramp. The YRN was also working on their Secret <br /> <br />
