Mayor Weidt removed this from the Consent Agenda to allow the applicant to introduce himself. Kyle Gross, owner of The Dance Unit currently located on Mercantile Drive in Victor Gardens, said he and his wife Laureen met at the University of Minnesota and both danced in the Twin Cities and worked as instructors. In Fall 2020, they opened a studio in Victor Gardens. They felt they were at capacity and wanted to make a long-term investment. The number of students has expanded to 260, and the new location will have five classrooms. Kyle said two-thirds of their students live in the Hugo community. He said they are excited to expand and create an awesome space in the community. They currently live in Stillwater.

Public Hearing on the Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area 2026 Street Improvement Project On February 27, 2025, the City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area Street Improvement Project. The City Council accepted the completed study at the November 17, 2025, City Council meeting and called for a public hearing to be held this evening. City Engineer Mark Erichson presented the project location and explained that it involves full pavement removal and replacement, along with construction of a trail on Europa Avenue that will be completed as part of the project but not included in the assessments. He provided background on the City’s pavement management program, which rates roadway conditions every three years to identify areas in need of improvement. The most recent rating, completed in 2024, indicated that the roads within the project area were showing signs of distress and required partial reconstruction to prevent further deterioration.
