Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for August 3, 2020 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />Works Lead Worker. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the annual performance review <br />for Public Works Lead Worker Mike Loeffler. <br /> <br />Approve Automatic Aid/Mutual Aid Agreement with Lino Lakes <br /> <br />The Hugo Fire Department requested approval from Council to enter into an Automatic Aid <br />Agreement with Lino Lakes for use of fire personnel and equipment. This agreement would <br />authorize the joint and cooperative exercise of powers between the fire departments. Adoption <br />of the Consent Agenda approved the Automatic Aid/Mutual Aid Agreement between the cities of <br />Hugo and Lino Lakes for the dispatch and use of fire personnel and equipment. <br /> <br />Approve Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan <br /> <br />Kendra Fallon, WSB Water Resources Engineer, explained the Comprehensive Stormwater <br />Management Plan (CSMP) describes and tracks a system of regional volume reduction projects <br />(primarily runoff reuse for irrigation) that generate volume reduction credits. The City of Hugo <br />intends to use these credits in lieu of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) on select <br />roadway and redevelopment projects. RCWD rules allow stormwater management projects to be <br />implemented off-site of a development or road improvement project, as long as they are in the <br />same Resources of Concern drainage area. The City of Hugo can develop and implement <br />regional projects and apply the water quality credits generated by the projects to future roadway <br />improvements or land development activities. Projects that have already been implemented are <br />included in this document. These generated credits will offset the initial capital cost of these <br />water reuse projects by decreasing the stormwater management costs of future roadway <br />improvement projects. The City can also sell these credits to a developer where onsite <br />stormwater Best Management Practices have difficulty being met onsite. Staff had been working <br />with RCWD on this plan and will bring it to their Board workshop on August 10, and to the <br />meeting on August 12, 2020, for approval. <br /> <br />Miron commented that it was a good creative approach to what the City had been trying to <br />implement. Water conservation was the main focus of what the City was trying to do, and this <br />was a great way to add value. <br /> <br />Fallon shared with Council that so far there were 100 credits generated at approximately $18,000 <br />per credit. <br /> <br />Weidt stated it was a good by-product of what the City was trying to do. The City took on water <br />conservation efforts as a way to be in front of using the resource properly and conserving it when <br />possible. The City was able to stay within bounds and not use water for unnecessary items. The <br />City found a way to reuse rainwater for irrigation and had saved nearly 20 million gallons and <br />will continue to do that. This would allow the City to grow and be prudent with water usage and <br />resources. <br /> <br />Haas commented on the strategic value of it. The national wetland surveys showed almost half <br />of Hugo was underwater. If the City didn’t take valuable upland areas for business uses but <br />instead used stormwater ponding because of the credit system and plan, there was tremendous <br />value and opportunities on the limited land available to them.
