The meeting began with a <br />presentation by City Engineer Mark Erichson. The presentation primarily covered the project <br />location, a brief overview adjacent improvements (Lions Park and Hugo Gardens), discussion <br />related to the 2010 effort to evaluate this project area for reconstruction and how this project is <br />now once again on the City of Hugo’s Capital Improvement Plan. Mr. Erichson identified various <br />components of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and how that guides the types of improvements <br />within the project area. <br /> <br />Mr. Erichson identified the project area as a reconstruction project consisting of subgrade <br />corrections, concrete curb and gutter, new pavement, storm sewer and a trail along the north side <br />of 147th Street. High level preliminary costs were identified and discussion regarding how the <br />project would be financed ensued (assessments, CIP fund, state aid). A detailed explanation of the <br />assessment policy and state statutes chapter 429 was given along with sharing an assessment map <br />identifying all properties proposed to be assessed. The presentation was followed by a question <br />and answer session with residents mostly regarding drainage and safety concerns along 146th and <br />147th Streets. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Bryan Bear, <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />
