Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for November 15, 2021 <br />Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br />a letter recommending the reappointment of John Waller to this position. Adoption of the <br />Consent Agenda approved the letter for submission to Washington County to reappoint John <br />Waller as Manager on the Rice Creek Watershed District Board of Managers. <br /> <br />Discussion on Park Dedication Fee <br /> <br />At the meeting of September 20, 2021, the City Council authorized the Parks Commission to <br />evaluate the Park Dedication Fee. The Park Dedication Policy, Sec. 90-324 of the City Code, <br />allowed the City to require park land or fee dedication with subdivision or development of any <br />property in the City in order to develop a system of parks within the community to serve the <br />public's health and recreational needs. The park dedication fee was currently $2,400 per <br />residential unit and set annually by the City Council in the fee schedule. At their meeting of <br />October 20, 2021, the Parks Commission reviewed the fee and recommended to Council that the <br />fee be increased to $3,400 per residential unit. The change would be adopted with the 2022 Fee <br />Schedule. <br /> <br />Parks Planner Shayla Denaway reviewed the current ordinance on park dedication saying the <br />Parks Commission did not want to change any language in the policy but wished to evaluate the <br />fee. She provided information on population growth since the last time the fee was evaluated in <br />2010. Since 2015, the City had approved $1,683,682 in fees and 30 acres of land dedication. <br />Denaway provided information on parks that had been constructed using these fees. She <br />reviewed future park needs according to population projections and determined a need for up to <br />36 new neighborhood parks, not taking into account current parks. Denaway used past park <br />construction costs as a basis for future park development costs and calculated that current fees <br />fail to meet the current need. <br /> <br />Petryk made motion, Strub seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2021-70 APPROVING <br />FINDINGS OF FACT FOR INCREASING THE PARK DEDICATION FEE. <br /> <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Visitor Presentation – County Commissioner Fran Miron <br /> <br />County Commissioner Fran Miron was in attendance to hear Donald Raleigh speak, and Mayor <br />Weidt asked him to provide an update on things happening at Washington County. Miron said <br />it had been a pleasure to work with Raleigh, and he hoped Raleigh would continue to represent <br />Washington County after redistricting. He talked about the County redistricting process saying <br />the County Commission decided to remain at five members instead of increasing to seven. The <br />county parks staff would continue to work with City staff on the extension of the Hardwood <br />Creek Trail. He talked about the environmental Center being planned for construction in Forest <br />Lake in 2022 for opening in 2023. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
