CITY OF HUGO <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: City Council <br />FROM: Bryan Bear, City Administrator <br />SUBJECT: 2020 Goals <br />DATE: January 23, 2020 for the City Council workshop of January 27, 2020 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Attached to this memo is a copy of the 2019 Goals approved by the City Council last year, as <br />well as the 2020 goals that were discussed in recent weeks by the Parks Commission, Planning <br />Commission, Economic Development Authority and Historical Commission. I'd encourage you <br />to review this information as you prepare the City's goals for 2020. As you know, staff uses the <br />goals developed by the Commissions and City Council to direct our work priorities in addition to <br />our daily work assignments. <br />Below is a review of projects the staff anticipates spending time on in 2020. <br />Infrastructure: <br />Pavement management program. In 2016, the city re-evaluated the streets CIP <br />program. Council decided to accelerate the program by dedicating additional funds. In 2017, <br />with a recommendation from the Public Works Director, the council discontinued the city's <br />sealcoating program, and reallocated the previously dedicated levy to the streets CIP for mill and <br />overlay projects. For 2019, staff updated the streets CIP by incorporating the new mill and <br />overlay program. <br />The reconstruction project for 2020 will be Goodview Ave from Egg Lake Road south to the <br />city's border with Grant. Later this year, staff will provide the council with updates on the <br />condition of city streets and long term maintenance costs (including mill and overlay) and will <br />ask council to consider approving another street reconstruction project for 2021. It will be <br />important to begin to consider the timing of street reconstruction within the city's downtown area <br />for coordination with the upcoming Lion's Park project. <br />Gravel Roads. In 2018, staff completed extensive testing of roughly 5 miles of poorly <br />performing gravel roads and developed a series of recommended actions. In 2019, the remaining <br />sections of gravel roads were reclaimed and improved. Staff will monitor success of this <br />program in 2020. <br />Construction projects in 2020 will focus primarily on new public roads and utilities to <br />be constructed concurrent with private development. In addition to the Goodview Ave project, <br />
