any orders. Steve answered many questions from the council and inquired as to what else the City would
require to receive a permit. City Attorney Dave Snyder presented Council with three options as to
actions that could be taken by the City.

issue a permit to the RCWD, based on a meeting with Council members Frank Puleo and Mike Granger

recommendation whether or not to issue RCWD permit.
Council discussion continued and Petryk and Puleo withdrew their motion.
Puleo made motion, Granger seconded, authorizing the City Attorney to represent the City of Hugo in
any manner needed in respect to the injunction hearing on proposed MnDNR action.
