Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for January 6, 2020 <br />Page 4 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />Approve Appointment of US Bank as Depository for City Funds <br /> <br />Each year, Council selects a depository/bank for the deposit of City funds. For many years, <br />Council selected the local Hugo branch of US Bank. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved <br />US Bank as the official depository for City funds for 2020. <br /> <br />Approve Appointment of The Citizen as Official Newspaper <br /> <br />Each year, Council selects a newspaper as the official publication for all public notices and <br />publishing of ordinances. For the past twelve years, the City Council had appointed The Citizen <br />as the City’s new official newspaper, and The Citizen requested to continue to provide this <br />service at a slightly increased rate. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved The Citizen as <br />the City’s official newspaper for 2020. <br /> <br />Approve Appointments to Hugo Firefighter Relief Association <br /> <br />Minnesota State Statute requires the official appointment of the ex-officio members of the Hugo <br />Fire Department Relief Association Board. Council needed to appoint two elected or appointed <br />members. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved Mayor Tom Weidt, with Councilmember <br />Chuck Haas as his designee in his absence, and Finance Director Ron Otkin as ex-officio <br />members of the Hugo Fire Department Relief Association Board. <br /> <br />Approve Resolution on Statutory Tort Liability Limits <br /> <br />In the late 1990s, the League of Minnesota Insurance Trust required each City that obtained <br />liability coverage from them to decide whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to <br />the extent of coverage purchased. Currently these limits are $500,000 per claimant and <br />$1,500,000 per occurrence. At that time the City Council opted not to waive the statutory <br />limits. LMCIT requires each member city to reaffirm their position on an annual basis. <br />Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2020 – 1 NOT TO WAIVE <br />STATUTORY TORT LIABILITY LIMITS. <br /> <br />Approve Appointment of Bronwen Kleissler as Chair of the Planning Commission and <br />Scott Arcand as Vice-Chair <br /> <br />Annually, Council appoints a member of the Planning Commission to serve as the chair and <br />vice-chair. Bronwen Kleissler has been serving as the chair of the Planning Commission since <br />August, 2015, and Scott Arcand has served as vice-chair since February, 2018. Adoption of the <br />Consent Agenda approved the reappointment of Bronwen Kleissler as the chair of the Planning <br />Commission and Scott Arcand as vice-chair for 2020. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
