BACKGROUND MEMO FOR THE HUGO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2020 D. 1 Minutes for the September 21, 2020 City Council Meeting D.2 Minutes for the September 24, 2020 Public Works Ground Breaking Ceremony Staff recommends Council approve the above meeting minutes as presented. F.1 Update on COVID-19 City Response and Grant Approval The City of Hugo has applied for and has been awarded a COVID-19 Response Grant for Election Administrators from The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). CTCL is a nonpartisan organization that provides technical assistance to election administrators across the country and has established a grant program to support municipalities with a demonstrated need in the administration of safe elections during the pandemic. The grant funds can be used to cover certain 2020 Election expenses incurred between June 15, 2020 and December 31, 2020 that are associated with the safe administration of election responsibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Grant funds can be used to procure personal protective equipment and disinfecting supplies for poll workers and voters, educate voters on safe voting policies and procedures, provide additional training for poll workers on how to safely administer elections in the midst of the pandemic, and pay for increased costs for polling site cleaning and sanitation. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the $5,000.00 COVID-19 Response Grant for Election Administrators from The Center for Tech and Civic Life. G.1 Approve Claims Roster Staff recommends Council approve the Claims Roster as presented. G.2 Approve Annual Performance Review for Public Works Worker Adam Greeder In 2007, Adam Greeder was hired by the City of Hugo as one of its summer seasonal maintenance workers in the Hugo Public Works Department. On October 6, 2008, Adam became part of the department as a full-time employee as an apprentice for the Public Works Maintenance Worker. Public Works Director Scott Anderson recommends Council approve the annual performance review for Public Works Worker Adam Greeder. G.3 Approve Resolution Appointing Election Judges for 2020 General Election State Statute requires the governing body to approve the appointment of election judges at least 25 days prior to the election. City Clerk Michele Lindau has recruited 56 judges to work the 2020 General Election. This is considerable more than what was needed in past elections due to the requirements of COVID-19. All election judges will receive 2.5 hours of training, which includes COVID related instructions. Staff recommends the Council approve the resolution appointing election judges for the 2020 General Election.
