I.1 Assessment Hearing for Beaver Ponds Street Improvement Project On April 7, 2025, the City of Hugo awarded a construction contract for the completion of the 2025 Beaver Ponds Area Street Improvement Project. The project is now substantially complete. At the August 18, 2025, regular Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution declaring costs to be assessed for the 2025 Beaver Ponds Area Street Improvement Project and scheduled the assessment hearing on the proposed assessments for October 6, 2025. The Notice of Assessment Hearing has been published in the newspaper and mailed to the owners of each parcel described in the assessment roll at least two weeks prior to the hearing. As part of the assessment hearing, staff will give a PowerPoint presentation identifying the improvements, costs and detail payment options. Staff recommends the Mayor open the public hearing to take all comments and Council approve the resolution adopting assessments for the 2025 Beaver Ponds Area Street Improvement Project. J.1 Discussion on Assessment Policy Deviation for the 2026 Street Improvement Project On March 3, 2025, the City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Street Improvement Project. As we prepare the feasibility study, staff would like to provide a brief project update to the City Council and specifically discuss how the City assessment policy applies to this project as there are some unique circumstances. The City plans to assess properties that benefit from the aforementioned improvements in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, and the City’s adopted assessment policy. However, staff is proposing a deviation to the assessment policy for residential properties located on the north side of 130th Street North, from Fenway Boulevard to Europa Trail North, and on the west side of Fenway Boulevard, between 140th Street North and 130th Street North. According to the assessment policy, these properties would generally be assessed at one-half unit for the improvements along 130th Street and Fenway Boulevard, with the remaining one-half unit to be assessed once the internal roads to the properties are improved. Since none of these properties have direct access to 130th Street North or Fenway Boulevard, staff is proposing that these properties not be assessed for this project but instead be fully assessed when their internal streets are improved. Staff will facilitate discussion as part of this agenda item and is seeking consensus from the City Council in advance of project notifications to the properties affected by a potential deviation to the assessment policy. M.1 Schedule Bald Eagle Townhome Neighborhood Meeting on October 9, 2025 A neighborhood meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 6 p.m. at the Pede Pedersen Pavilion to discuss the 2026 road improvement project proposed for the streets in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park area. Staff has posted this as a potential quorum of the Council and recommends Council schedule it as a meeting if they wish to attend. N. Adjournment
