Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for April 6, 2020 Page 5 of 6 include a negotiated cost share arrangement for Finale Avenue reconstruction and extension of 147th Street. Bear explained the benefits of coordinating a stormwater reuse project to serve the apartment project, Keystone Place, Lions Park, CSAH8, and possibly City Hall. This could all be done with the Hugo Gardens Development Agreement. COVID-19 could cause financial uncertainty and delays. Bear asked for Council to discuss the timing and pace of projects and direct staff to prepare for an amended CIP. Council asked questions about the feasibility study for Lions Park, amended CIP, timeline, and the importance of different projects. Bear responded saying the feasibility study would cost approximately $15,000 to update the study and would work best if combined with the street project. Staff could try to provide a timeline for projects considering the scope of it and the possible impacts of the coronavirus. Also, the resiliency of the projects were in question and whether they would continue to move forward. If the apartment project moved forward, there would be cost share with the City involved. Lions Park, streets, and water reuse projects could all be connected. Bear said Lions Park could probably still move forward even if other projects were pushed back temporality. He stated there could be more information in a few weeks. Petryk made motion, Miron seconded, to direct staff to prepare an amended CIP for Council review. Roll call vote – all ayes. Motion carried.
