Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for June 21, 2021 <br />Page 8 of 9 <br />It was asked by Council if the levels of the current stormwater ponds were meeting their <br />minimum and if some of the stormwater reuse systems were converting to City water. Bear <br />replied that there were a couple of ponds that were very low, and restrictions placed on residents <br />by their HOAs were causing some residents to connect a hose to the City's water supply for <br />outside irrigation. It was asked if even/odd restriction applied to private wells, and it was <br />explained the resolution only pertained to City water. Bear talked about neighborhoods <br />continuing the frequent watering that began when they were establishing sod. This was <br />monitored and regulated by the HOAs. <br />Weidt talked about how fragile access to water was and felt education needed to be done. Rules <br />needed to be considered that included stormwater ponds. The Council generally agreed it was <br />important to be proactive. It was suggested engaging the HOAs to help with implementation <br />and education on water conservation. There was also a suggestion to send a friendly letter to the <br />top water users, as was done in the past, as a reminder and heads up that more restrictive <br />measures may be forthcoming. <br />Weidt made motion, Klein seconded, to direct staff to look at the City's ordinance to strengthen <br />the requirements and language on both the City water users and water reuse users and to work on <br />the education piece. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Cancel July 5, 2021 Council Meeting <br />City Administrator Bryan Bear informed Council the first regular Council meeting in July was <br />on July 5, 2021, the same day as Independence Day (4th of July) was observed.
