Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for May 18, 2020 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />included in the Lions Park Bond, since those items were associated with the park improvements. <br />The Hugo Gardens Apartment project could include the improvements to Finale Avenue. The <br />apartment project will be considered by the Planning Commission at their next meeting and by <br />the Council at their June 1 meeting. A meeting with the neighborhood had not occurred yet. <br />Bear reviewed other streets projected for improvements during the next five years, which <br />included a cost share with Washington County for a traffic signal at CSAH 8 and Oneka <br />Parkway in 2024. The street CIP assumed a 21 % reduction in state aid due to a reduction in gas <br />tax dollars, which was a direct impact of the Coronavirus <br />Bear next discussed the construction of a new Public Works building, which could start in <br />September of this year at a total cost of $12,200,000 with contingency. This would be paid for <br />with a $7.2 million bond. Two -hundred seventy four -thousand dollars was levied 2020, and that <br />levy was expected to increase to approximately $557,000 in 2021. One -million dollars would <br />come from the sale of the existing Public Works facility, three -million from the water and sewer <br />fund, and $878,000 from the capital facilities fund. Bear spoke briefly on the equipment fund <br />saying it was fully funded, but to keep it balanced every year the levy must increase, and there <br />were big purchases expected in 2025. <br />Bear reviewed what was included in the CIP for parks. Revenues for parks come from the tax <br />levy, park dedication fees, and grants. This year, Adelaide Landing Park was to be constructed, <br />and the Goodview Trail Study would be completed at a cost of $17,750 with a portion to be paid <br />with grant funds. The CIP also included other miscellaneous trail and park projects and Irish <br />Avenue Park master planning. Last year, the Council added a tax levy for parks in the amount of <br />$556,133 to start in 2020. The idea was to eventually issue bonds to pay for park improvements <br />that include Clearwater Creek Preserve, Irish Avenue Park, and Lions Park. Bear explained the <br />benefits of combining projects. <br />Bear talked about projects included in utility construction funds. The water and sewer fund was <br />paying for the completion of Water Tower No. 4 and other well and sewer related maintenance <br />and improvements in the following years. The stormwater utility fund had an annual levy of <br />$278,788 for stormwater utility maintenance projects and expenses associated with being the <br />Local Government Unit (LGU). Bear talked about how the Water Edge Phase 2 and the CSAH 8 <br />stormwater reuse projects were depleting these funds. Projects needed to be combined, and the <br />City needed to receive grants. <br />Bids will be received later this year for the new Public Works facility. The Lions Park feasibility <br />study was to be done this month and built in 2021. The City was still working on the <br />development agreement with Hugo Gardens Apartments. Bear reminded Council that the CIP <br />was dependent on the tax rate remaining the same. He explained the next step was to forward <br />the draft CIP to the Planning Commission for their recommendation. <br />Petryk shared her concerns about the impact of the virus pandemic on the economy and <br />appreciated the Council would have another chance to look at the CIP after it went to the <br />Planning Commission. <br />Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to forward the CIP draft document to the Planning <br />Commission for their consideration and for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. <br />
