Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for March 7, 2022 Page 2 of 6 process of negotiating an agreement with Forest Lake for a site on the east side of 61 that should serve the residents of Hugo very well. The Woodbury Site was very popular, and they are adding space to expand services. Fran talked about the drop off for food scraps, which is 20% of the trash, and he talked about ways the County was working to meet state goals on recycling. Fran provided information on the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail Feasibility Study to complete the trail to the county line. This would be in collaboration with the Metropolitan Council, and there was hope for regional funding for the connection. He talked about the substantial increase in home values saying residents could expect a significant increase. Fran spoke about the T.H. 61 Corridor Study and jurisdictional transfers saying turn backs come with money associated with them, which become part of the negotiations with the state. Requests for Proposals (RFPs) were going out that week, and the City would be included in the selection process. Klein asked about the technology corridor. Fran responded that it had not been as successful as hoped. Part of the vision was a regional economic development opportunity that would have had an impact on all communities. Petryk thanked him for the yard waste site in Hugo and helping her provide information to the Transportation Advisory Board. Fran said the long-term site to the north would provide the same convenience to Hugo residents as those using the environmental center (in Woodbury). It could impact the Citywide cleanup events, and a decision needed to be made on whether they would continue those events. He talked about the TAB and their role in distributing grants for transportation projects. Weidt thanked Commissioner Miron for the update.
