Update on Stormwater Grants and Related Items City Administrator Bryan Bear provided Council an update on recent stormwater grants.

Bear said they recently met with the RCWD and provided information on Hugo projects focusing on the largest project, Waters Edge stormwater reuse project. The RCWD Board intends to recommend approval to the Met Council. In response to concerns regarding stormwater credits for the project, Bear was told by the Watershed District that they see this is a pass-through project, so will likely not make Hugo adhere by those rules. Hugo had been successful in receiving a $50,000 grant from the Met Council for the Beaver Ponds project, and Council will review bid results for that project at a Council meeting in May. He also talked about the RCWD grants for stormwater mediation projects, and stated Hugo declined to participate because we were not allowed to use the credits for these projects. Hugo Public Works did apply, and will likely receive a grant for $27,000 for a street sweeper, which is used to remove debris from streets and keep it out of the waterways. Staff is continuing to have discussions with the RCWD on their rules and will be meeting with them tomorrow.

Negotiations are underway, and we can expect to know in a few weeks if we've made progress.

The Parks Commission has the role of ensuring that the parks and trails system is strong enough to support the additional Hugo residents. Park dedication, which can be payment of a fee or a land dedication, is required with each housing development. The Commission reviewed the Park Dedication Policy at their February 11, 2015 meeting. In 2010, revisions were made to the Park Dedication Policy which included adding an appeal process, basing land dedication calculations on density, and removal of the requirement for commer- cial and industrial busi- nesses. When the revisions were approved, the City Council requested that the F.3 policy be revisited in 2015. The Parks Commission recommended no new changes to the poli- cy and that the fee and policy be reviewed again in two years. This was approved by the City Council at their March 2, 2015 meeting. Using the policy and the parks plan, the Parks Com- mission reviews all park dedication proposals. In 2015, proposals were reviewed for DigniCare Continued on page 2 Recreation Program Report The following programs were continued in 2015: • Tot Time/ Family Time • Volleyball & Basketball Open Gym • Teen Movie Matinees • Kidz N Biz • Tour de Hugo • Geocaching Adventure • Movie Nights at Oneka Elementary School • Sledding Party • Nature Camp • Park Play Days Highlights from the year include that the Nature Camp rapidly grew in par- ticipation and new activi- ties were incorporated in to the daily schedule of crafts, games, and hikes.

Page 2 2015 Road Reconstruction Includes Sidewalks Commissioners have discussed the need for sidewalks in the Rice Lake Meadows Neigh- borhood for the last couple years. The opportunity came up when the neighborhood rose to the top of the road reconstruc- tion priority list. There were multi- ple neighborhood meet- ings through late 2014 and early 2015. A public hearing was held on March 2, 2015 at which the project received important approvals to move forward. Construc- tion took place in June through September by Arnt Construction Company. The project included new curb and gutter. The roadway was Senior Programming The Parks Commission is aware of the changing needs of residents as it relates to seniors. One of the 2015 goals was to evaluate the recreation needs of seniors. The City of Hugo supports and works with local groups that offer programming and ser- vices to seniors. City - owned parks and com- munity rooms are made wide enough originally that it was possible to decrease the width of the roadway, continue to al- low on -street parking, and add a sidewalk. Sidewalks were con- structed along the north side of 145th Street and the east side of Geneva Avenue. They connect to existing sidewalks in Diamond Point East and along Oneka Lake Boule- vard. available to them also. These include the Hugo Senior Club, White Bear Lake Schools Senior Cen- ter, and the Consortium of Lakes Area Senior Services. Park Dedications (from page 1) Senior Living and Memory Care of Hugo, Clearwater Cove, and Fable Hill Fourth Addi- tion.

With Fable Hill Fourth Addition, Len Pratt agreed to make improve- ments to the new park in the neighborhood includ- ing grading, landscaping, and building a picnic shelter with the first phase and pay fees with the remaining phases. The property was dedi- cated with Fable Hill Third Addition for a future park. The fourth addition will also include a trail connecting to those in the rest of the neighborhood, Clearwa- ter Creek Preserve Park, and the new neighbor- hood park. With Clear- water Cove, D. R. Horton is building and donating a new neighborhood park with a playground and shelter, in addition to paying full park dedica- tion fees. The existing scenic trail along Clear- water Creek in Victor Gardens, will be extend- ed through Clearwater Cove. With future resi- dential development, it could connect to Clear- water Creek Preserve Park and other trails. I I I I I I I I I I I I I Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission Traffic Signals Installed The City of Hugo was award- ed an Active Living Partner Project, which is a grant program hosted by Washing- ton County and the Statewide Health Improvement SHIP Program. The Grant grant was Received awarded in the fall of 2014. There has been concern over the speed of traffic near the entrance to Oneka Elementary off of Heritage Parkway. The cost of the signage was primarily covered by the $4,999 grant. i Public Works Update The City of Hugo Public Works Department main- tains 433 acres of parks, 33 miles of sidewalks & trails, and over 10 open spaces. In conjunction with regularly scheduled road mainte- nance, the trails east of Oneka Elementary were patched and seal coated. Repeated vandalism, includ- ing graffiti, was cleaned up at Diamond Point Park. Two acres of city -owned property off of Egg Lake Road is known to be used for dirt biking. Public Works Staff trimmed back the brush to increase visibility. A trash receptacle and rules sign were placed at the property in an effort to reduce unde- � — — sirable behavior. The Com- mission heard complaints from the neighbors and reduced the property hours to gam to dusk. Engineered wood fiber was added to play structures at Hanifl Fields Athletic Park, Diamond Point Park, and Oneka Ponds Park. The surfacing is designed for aesthetics, child safety, and ADA wheelchair accessibil- ity. It compacts over time and needs to be topped off. Eagle Scout candidate Peter Wicks helped Public Works install landscaping to screen the portable restrooms at Val Jean, Arbre, and Heritage Ponds Parks. A tree was planted in Frog The school contributed the remaining $800 to purchase the solar powered, flashing, programmable speed sign- age. Washington County required Oneka Elementary do have programs and distribute materials to promote walking and biking to school. The City of Hugo installed the signage this fall and will be responsible for all future maintenance. Hollow Park in memory of Allen Bower. The classmates of Bower's son at Oneka Elementary raised the funds for the memorial tree and bronze plaque. Bower helped name "Frog Hollow Park" when it opened. A electric remote control car track was constructed at Irish Avenue Park by local volunteers. Public Works assisted with the initial grad- ing of the former gravel pit. Page 3 Looking Ahead: The Parks Commission is ending the year with a vacan- cy. In the fall of 2013, the Parks Commission bylaws were amended so that the Commission had 7 members. This year, long-time volunteer Commissioner Rachel Berger stepped down and became an alternate. Two new Commissioners were appointed at the City Council meeting of May 6, 2015. One of the new Commission- ers resigned in November, creating a vacancy to be filled in the near future. A resident approached staff with an interest in the eastern side of Clearwater Creek Preserve Park. He has mapped upland on the property and studied the trees. The east side of the park is not easily accessible. How- ever, with nearby development, there may be an oppor- tunity to make it easier for people to use the entire property and have multiple access points. The Metropolitan Council recently released the System Statement which explains how the regional develop- ment plan, Thrive MSP 2040, affects Hugo. The City of Hugo can now begin the process of updating our local comprehensive plan, which must be consistent with the regional plans. Over the next couple years, the Parks Commission will review the Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan, determine what needs to be revised, and what process should be used to make changes. Hugo's revised comprehensive plan must be submitted by December 31, 2018 to the Metropolitan Council. NP -7 NP-10 --�.-�.....,e-....•.

(2AM-5/06) 6L Fire Department Training Bonus 1.0 Probationary Period a. All appointments for regular, full-time and part-time employees are subject to a six-month training and evaluation period. If during the first 180 days of service in a position, a person has not demonstrated an acceptable level of ability, aptitude, and performance for the position assigned, they will be removed from service. Department heads will recommend to the City Council whether to retain an employee prior to the end of the employee's training and evaluation period. Nothing within this provision alters the status of the "at -will" relationship between the employee and the City of Hugo during the probationary period. As such, the employee may be terminated at any time, for any lawful reason, at any time during his/her employment with the City, including during the probationary period. b. Firefighter Probationary Period and Responsibilities: Every employee hired to the Department shall serve up to 24 -month probationary period, during which time the Department's leadership will evaluate his or her ability, motivation and performance as a firefighter. The probationary period shall begin on the day that an employee first reports for a scheduled drill at the direction of the Chief or designated supervisor and continue for 24 months. A new employee remains subject to probationary status until City Council's approval of the Fire Chiefs written recommendation, after the employee has completed the probationary period. In making this determination the Chief shall consider the following: • Attendance and completion of Firefighter Orientation • Passing of the Firefighter I Course and pass the FFI State Certification Test • Passing of the Firefighter II course • Passing of the EMR course and passing of the National Registry Test • Familiarity with Department policies and equipment. At the recommendation of the Fire Chief, the length of the probationary period may be reduced based upon an employee's qualifications as listed above. A probationary period will not be shorter than 12 months. If the Chief decides a firefighter has not successfully met all requirements, the Chief may request removal of the employee from the Department. The Council shall consider the Chief s recommendation and make a determination on the employee's continued service. c. Training Bonus: With the successful completion of the probationary period, an employee becomes eligible for a training bonus. After the probationary period determined by the Fire Chief, a firefighter may receive their bonus with the completion of three courses: Firefighter I Course, Firefighter II Course, and the EMR Course. The bonus will be in the amount established in the salary resolution and will only be rewarded with the successful completion of the probationary period and the three courses listed. Those joining the Fire Department whom have already completed the three courses must wait until after their probationary period to receive the training bonus, which shall not be less than 12 months, as stated in Section b.

The policy sets the optimum pension benefit level as the average lump -sum benefit provided by relief associations that receive state fire aid within 10% of the amount received by the Hugo Firefighter's Relief Association, as last reported by the Office of the State Auditor. According to the Office of the State Auditor, nine other lump -sum relief associations received state fire aid in 2015 within 10% of the amount received by Hugo. These associations are located in: Becker, Ham Lake, Isami, Little Falls, Mahtomedi, New Prague, Park Rapids, Vadnais Heights, and Wacoma. Staff feels that this is a very good sampling of associations: Four are in the 7 -county metro area and three are in economic development regions that border the 7 -county metro area. Using data from these nine associations, we can establish the optimum pension benefit level at $3,367 per year of service. The Board of Trustees voted to increase their lump -sum pension benefit from $3,200 per year of service to $3,300 and is asking the City Council to ratify this increase. FINANCIAL STATISTICS The Finance Department has reviewed the financial status of the relief association and finds that the recommended increase will result in the following: Total Pension Assets: $1,246,578 - as of 03/31/16 Total Pension Liability: $1,025,974 - after increase Surplus: $ 220,604 - 21.5% of liability RECOMMENDED PENSION BENEFIT LEVEL INCREASE Staff is recommending the City Council approve a motion to ratify the Board of Trustees request for a $100 increase in the lump -sum pension benefit. This will bring Hugo's pension benefit to $3,300 per year of service (within $67 of the optimum level described above). ATTACHMENTS Resolution Adopting Firefighter Relief Pension Fiscal Policy Relief Association Comparisons Letter from Dave Jensen, President of the Board of Trustees RESOLUTION 2012 — 8 RESOLUTION ADOPTING FIREFIGHTER RELIEF PENSION FISCAL POLICY WHEREAS, the City Council deems it advisable and in the best interest of the City of Hugo to adopt policies relating to the Hugo Firefighter's Relief Association; and WHEREAS, the City Council intends that these policies not be construed as exclusive but instead to provide general guidelines for addressing pension benefit levels and funding mechanisms; and WHEREAS, in enacting these policies, the City Council acknowledges that variations may be required depending on current fiscal conditions. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hugo, Washington County, Minnesota, as follows: SECTION 1: OPTIMUM PENSION BENEFIT LEVEL The optimum pension benefit level is the average lump -sum benefit provided by relief associations that receive state fire aid within 10% of the amount received by the Hugo Firefighter's Relief Association, as last reported by the Office of the State Auditor. SECTION 2: PENSION BENEFIT LEVEL INCREASES The lump -sum pension benefit will increase $200 in 2012 and $100 annually thereafter through calendar year 2015. Pension benefit increases must be ratified by the City Council on an annual basis. SECTION 3: MUNCIPAL BUDGET and TAX LEVY The City will levy property taxes in an amount equal to the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) employer percentage for coordinated fund members as applied to total fire department wages and salaries. These funds will be segregated in a special revenue fund and will be used to (1) make municipal contributions to the pension fund as required by state statutes, and (2) make municipal contributions to the pension fund to ensure the pension benefit increases as referred to in Section 2. The City Council must approve all contributions to the relief association from this fund.

In a city commission bus tour last fall, Hugo City Administrator Bryan Bear called the one -level villas the "hottest housing prod- uct in the city." Seven villas are already reserved of the 26 platted. Some will have backyards that abut Clearwater Creek Park Preserve, a 100 -acre gem that Pratt said is hard to find in a city. The Vadnais Heights - based builder specializes in premium homes with price points at a half -million dol- lars and up. "We're not into expediency or less expen- sive," Pratt said, "we're into detail. Every community needs a range of choices. When you deal north of $500,000, properties must have unique characteristics in a context that has appeal, space and good backdrops. There is still a market, as proven here for people above that price point." Hugo is a natural pro- gression for spillover hous- ing from a fully developed White Bear Lake and Town- ship, Pratt noted. "When I met with Mac (McCollar), I could see that connection," he recalled. "You have to have a stom- ach for looking down the road. You have to have a knack for it. I think there are genetic things that go into your fabric emotion- ally that makes some people to be more circular. You get up, look around and take it • ' Gill �& in." Pratt's great-grandfather was a Swedish immigrant who built homes in north- east Minneapolis. "You can still see his houses," he said. "So its in our family his- tory back a generation or two. My grandmother told me growing up, 'You didn't know your great-grandfa- ther, but you can see his work. Homebuilding; she said, 'is an honorable pro- fession.' There is something rewarding about a tangible result. Both Pratt and brother Lowell worked their way through the University of Minnesota as carpenters. Len was an English litera- ture major, which might explain his penchant for storytelling. "One thing led to another in the early '70s and we went into business," he said. The home builder/devel- oper admits he's a worka- holic, which happily teams well with wife Ellen Maas, a Washington County judge and part-time musician. They met under the mu- ral of Venus the Goddess of Love at Pazzaluna in down- town St. Paul. "I kid you not," Pratt said. "She was sitting at the next table with friends and we got to talk- ing about hors d'oeuvres. She invited me to one of her concerts (Maas plays bas- soon in several orchestras). We've been together ever since." .• 6-V ,.. Join us for our GRMD ®Pik r11.0-IJULY 24-2 5-26 6 Their compatibility lies in the fact both are "self- actualized," selfactualized," Pratt pointed out. "Ellen was never mar- ried and needed someone like me. If you try to fol- low her around as a typical husband, it will not work." They've been married 15 years and reside in Birch- wood. Pratt also has three children from a previous marriage; son Ben is a chef and owner of Ingredients restaurant in White Bear Lake. If he has spare time, Pratt said he enjoys garden- ing and would love to own a "wee farm. But I`ll never come off the lake (White Bear) with Ellen. She is there to stay." As the conversation shift- ed to White Bear Lake's cur- rent woes, Pratt said people need to take small steps to bring the lake level back. "One of them is augmenta-, tion. I am pro -augmenta- tion. We have to study it." Meanwhile the president of Pratt Homes continues to do what he does best, and that is build. He weathered the recession storm and says the "underwriting fun- damentals of lending have been repaired." The market will more fully recover when millen- nials decide to buy homes, Pratt said. "They rent now.

When the biological clock ticks, once family forma- tion starts, they choose to live outside the urban core. They want a yard and they want a good school." Less than 10 percent of the property Pratt acquired for Fable Hill remains un- sold — about seven lots of the original 75. All are large lots that are twice the size of what city code requires. "I sensed, and I still do," he noted, "that people come to Hugo for the space." Is he optimistic for the future? "I am for the next three years. We have been underbuilding for demand. But the sale of existing homes by empty nesters needs to be more fluid." When the villas are com- plete, Pratt will move on to a fifth and final phase in Fable Hill with 20 more villas and 14 single-family homes. When that project is finished, Pratt can finally write 'The End' to that story.

City of ugQ 14669 Fitzgerald Avenue North, Hugo, MN 55038 (651) 762-6300 www.ci.hugo.mn.us May 3, 2016 Mr. Phil Belfiori Rice Creek Watershed District 4325 Pheasant Ridge Drive NE, Suite 611 Blaine, MN 55449 Dear Mr. Belfiori: As we have discussed, the City of Hugo would like to cooperate with the Rice Creek Watershed District to apply for a 2016 Metropolitan Council Stormwater Grant, to provide partial funding for stormwater improvements that the City would like to undertake. The City understands that according to Metropolitan Council requirements, the District must be the named applicant and will sign the grant agreement as the Grantee. The City is providing this letter of intent as a precondition of the District's application to the Council for such funds. The City understands that the District is assuming the role of applicant and grantee solely to facilitate the City's access to grant funding. The City recognizes that if a grant is awarded and the grant agreement is signed, it will be responsible to ensure that all terms of the grant agreement are met. The City understands that it will be responsible to prepare the substantive elements of the application. It also understands that before the District signs a grant agreement, it will require a signed memorandum of agreement between the District and the City that will include, but may not be limited to, the following: • The District will receive grant funds from the Metropolitan Council and disburse them to the City consistent with the grant agreement. • The City will assume all grant agreement responsibilities including: o Preparing the required work plan and budget; o Attempting to solicit and include the participation of underutilized businesses, and preparing the required report to the Met Council on that attempt; o Funding the required 25 percent local contribution (except as the District independently may provide cost -share); o Completing construction or installation per the grant agreement; o Providing for promotional/educational signage; o Performing required maintenance; and o Otherwise meeting the terms of the grant agreement. • The City will hold the District harmless and indemnify it with respect to all claims, costs and liabilities arising from the grant and the supported project. The City recognizes that this letter of intent is not legally binding but is the basis for the District to submit an application for a Metropolitan Council Stormwater Grant. The City Council approved this letter of intent at its May 2, 2016 meeting. Yours truly, Bryan Bear, City Administrator City of Hugo, MN 2016 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL STORMWATER GRANT APPLICATION The Metropolitan Council (Council) will implement a stormwater grant program effective March 14, 2016. Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to metropolitan area watershed management organizations (WMOs) or watershed districts (WDs). The Council will provide 75% of the program cost; the grantee must provide the remaining 25%. Grants will be made available in amounts with a minimum of $2,000 and a maximum of $200,000. Grantees will be required to provide promotional/educational signage regarding the project for the benefit of cities and the public. Due to the relatively small amount of available funding, only watershed management organizations (WMOs) or watershed districts (WDs) in the seven -county metropolitan area are eligible to apply for these grants. The Council encourages all metro area WMOs/WDs to work with cities and other local units of government within their watersheds and to submit all appropriate project proposals for consideration. THE COUNCIL WILL ENCOURAGE ALL SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS TO SOLICIT AND INCLUDE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL UNDERUTILIZED BUSINESSES (MCUB) FIRMS IN GRANT FUNDED ACTIVITIES THAT MCUB FIRMS CAN PERFORM. THE COUNCIL WILL REOUIRE ALL GRANTEES TO REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF THESE EFFORTS. A LIST OF MCUB FIRMS IS AVAILABLE ON THE COUNCIL'S WEBSITE. APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN MAY 11, 2016. Application Process • Applicants must be watershed management organizations (WMOs) or watershed districts (WDs) located in the seven county metropolitan area. • Organizations will have eight weeks to submit grant applications. • Metropolitan Council will notify applicants of grant awards by June 15, 2016. • Successful applicants will be required to submit detailed project work plans and budgets which will be included as exhibits in the standard grant agreements. • The Council will encourage all successful applicants to solicit and include Metropolitan Council Underutilized Businesses (MCUB) firms in grant funded activities that MCUB firms can perform. The Council will require grantees to report on the results of these efforts. A list of MCUB firms is available on the Council's website. • No project expenses incurred before agreement execution will be eligible for reimbursement by the Metropolitan Council. • No payments will be made that would cause total compensation to exceed the total grant amount. Primary Proposal Selection Criteria Preference will be given to projects that are: • Innovative and use novel methods or practices to treat or manage stormwater • Can serve as visible demonstration projects • Are easily replicated in other parts of the metro area • Have a strong educational component • Focus on multiple benefits such as • Volume reduction • Stormwater reuse • Address difficult pollutants such as chloride, nitrate, or bacteria • Address difficult sites: small sites, redevelopment, contaminated, or compacted areas • Provide greater than required treatment, i.e. "treatment train" practice sequencing • Address items generally not eligible for cost share like practice maintenance, research, and outreach Secondary Selection Criteria Additional credit will be given to projects that: • Support Council authority to partner with local units of government to implement total watershed management • Benefit impaired waters and are identified as needed in local water management plans • Have multiple partners • Leverage other funds • Include provisions for long-term maintenance • Provide benefit to other regional water issues, i.e. groundwater and drinking water supply, wastewater capacity limitations • Support equity and sustainability principles of Thrive MSP 2040 and the Water Resources Policy Plan If you have any questions, please contact Joe Mulcahy at joe.mulcahy(a,metc.state.mn.us or 651-602-1104.
