Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for February 6, 2023 <br />Page 2 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />Parks Commission Annual Report <br /> <br />Parks Planner Shayla Denaway presented the 2022 Parks Commission Annual Report. <br />Expanding community parks was the bulk of the work in 2022. Denaway reviewed the Parks <br />Commission’s goals for 2022 and said many of the items are carrying over to 2023. One of the <br />highlights for 2022 was the naming and opening of Lions Volunteer Park and the Pede Pedersen <br />Pavilion. Staff had updated the City’s building rental software and launched a new online <br />reservation system on the first of 2023. The City also received a grant from the Metropolitan <br />Council for upgraded irrigation controllers, which are now installed all in the City’s parks. <br /> <br />The Parks Commission had reviewed four different park dedication proposals: Oneka Prairie, <br />Hugo Estates, Goodview Estates, and the Shores of Oneka. All opted to pay park dedication fees <br />in lieu of dedicating park land except the Shores of Oneka, which will tie into property the City <br />currently owns, former Bernin property. In 2022, the buildings on the Bernin property were <br />removed. The Commission reviewed the master plan and will be reviewing it in 2023. <br /> <br />Other projects completed in 2022 were the reconstruction of the trail on Freedom Road, adaptive <br />swing put in the playground at Arbre Park, and the fence for pickleball installed and parking lot <br />completed in Arcand Parkland. The City also held the annual Santa Party and tree lighting <br />ceremony. Toys and food had been collected and donated to the Hugo Food Shelf and the Fire <br />Department Toy Drive. <br /> <br />Weidt commented that he had received a lot of positive emails on the adaptive swing, and he <br />noted the sledding party was scheduled for the upcoming Saturday. <br /> <br />Approval of the Consent Agenda <br /> <br />Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to approve the following Consent Agenda: <br /> <br />1.
