Former city engineer Dave Mitchell from SEH Engineers has reviewed the Change Order submitted by
Lametti & Sons for additional work on the Peloquin Industrial Park project, in the amount of
$175,805.76. This additional work was necessitated in part due to the micro tunneling machine hitting

MCES LETTER REGARDING SANITARY SEWER CAPACITY
Since the December 19, 2003 public meeting held by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Service
(MCES) at the Hugo City Hall, City staff has been communicating with MCES and Met Council
officials regarding short- and long-term sanitary sewer capacity issues. As Council is aware, City staff
and Council member Chuck Haas met with MCES officials regarding the sanitary sewer capacity.
Reference was made at the meeting to a 1975 contract between the City of Hugo and the, then,
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) that guaranteed a specific sewer capacity to the City.
The contract is referred to by the MCES as Contract 257, which is included in the City Council packet.
Essentially, Contract 257 outlines the manner by which, at the time, the City financed reserve capacity in
City Council meeting of June 7, 2004
Page 7
the system over a period of time. The Contract does not guarantee any specific sewer capacity; rather, it
allows the City capacity consistent with its Comprehensive Plan. The MCES selected a consultant to
assist them with developing both short- and long-term improvements to their system to allow the City
and surrounding communities the capacity they need to grow in accordance with their approved
Comprehensive Plans. City staff expects an update from the MCES regarding the proposed
improvements in the near future, and will provide another update to Council at that time. Council
discussed this issue at length, and directed staff to meet with MCES representatives, at their office, to
resolve City issues. On behalf of the City Council, Chuck Haas and Frank Puleo will accompany City
staff to the meeting.
CARNELIAN MARINE WATERSHED DISTRICT (CMWD)
At its May 3, 2004 meeting, the City Council adopted resolutions and ordinances that allowed the City to
assume the local governing unit (LGU) status from the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). The
City Council requested information regarding the City's LGU status within the Brown's Creek
Watershed District and Carnelian Marine Watershed District. Staff included a memo in the Council
packet from Phil Belfiori regarding this issue, and in summary, the City already has LGU authority
within the other two watershed districts. This item was for informational purposes only; no specific
action by the City Council is required.
UPDATE ON GOODVIEW AVENUE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
At its specially -called meeting on Monday, May 24, 2004, the City Council discussed the Diamond Point
West residential subdivision as it relates to the construction of Goodview Avenue. The City Council
specifically requested additional information regarding the design elements and schedule for completing
the improvements, which had initially been proposed for the winter of 2003/2004. The project is
scheduled to occur during the winter of 2004/2005, now that the Development Agreement for Diamond
Point West has been approved. City Engineer Jay Kennedy presented Council with an update on the
design and construction schedule for the reconstruction of Goodview Avenue. No formal Council action
was taken.
ROADSIDE VEGETATION MOWING SCHEDULE
PW Director Chris Petree received a comment from a resident regarding concern for mowing of the
ditches in the City. As Council is aware, this function was formerly provided by the Washington County
Highway Department, which, at best, was able to mow the ditches twice a summer season. As Council
is aware, the past practice had been up to three times during the summer months, which would allow for
the improvement of viewing along roadsides and at intersections. The PW department was able to begin
the mowing schedule during the normal mowing schedule and provided a recommendation that Council
formally adopt the proposed roadside vegetation mowing schedule provided by the PW Director. Since
the City has a significant amount of roads and streets in rural areas, the schedule was drafted in strict
accordance with Minnesota State Statute, which provides for the mowing of side slopes, and not the
ditch bottoms, as was suggested by the concerned resident. (MAYOR MIRON ARRIVED AT 8:35PM.)
Haas made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve the roadside vegetation mowing schedule as presented
by the Public Works Director Chris Petree. All aye. Motion Carried.

APPROVE CUP AMENDMENT FOR WAGNER'S GREENHOUSE
Wagner Partners Limited Partnership applied for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to extend the
deadline for construction of additional greenhouses to be located at 4860 Frenchman Road. Their
current CUP requires the greenhouse to be built by December 31, 2004 and Scott Wagner would like to
extend that deadline to December 31, 2006. The Planning Commission considered the CUP amendment
at its meeting on May 13, 2004, and unanimously recommended approval. Council member Haas
expressed concem that the Wagner property was designated "green acres" and would not be obligated to
participate in costs associated with possible road improvements to Everton Avenue. Mayor Miron stated
that "green acre" assessments are only delayed, along with accruing interest, and not exempt.
Puleo made motion, Miron seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 2004-43 A RESOLUTON APPROVING
AN EXTENSION OF TIME FOR WAGNER GREENHOUSE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
ADDITIONAL GREENHOUSES AT 4860 FRENCHMAN ROAD.
VOTING AYE: Granger, Haas, Petryk, Puleo, Miron
Motion Carried.
AUTHORIZATION TO PREPARE CONCEPT PLAN FOR OAKSHORE PARK FOR A CITY
PARK (LAURIE MCROSTIE)
City Attorney stated that Council members and residents of Oakshore Park, Becky Petryk and Mike
Granger, can participate in discussion on this issue. At its May 12, 2004 meeting, the Parks Commission
reviewed with landscape architect Laurie McRostie, its desire to purchase the privately owned 10 -acre
Oakshore Park, next to the Woods of Bald Eagle residential subdivision. The Commission is very
interested in the purchase of the park, and desires a concept plan, which will be prepared by Laurie
McRostie at a cost of $960, plus expenses. Parks Commissioner Pete Pedersen explained the Parks
Commission's reasoning for their request for a concept plan. Pete felt it important to have something in
hand to describe City plans for the park to the Oakshore Park Association.
Miron made motion, Granger seconded, to approve the development of a concept by landscape architect
Laurie McCrostie for Oakshore Park, at a cost of $960 plus expenses.
All aye. Motion Carried.
CSAH 8/14 PROJECT UPDATE
Washington County Transportation Manager Sandy Cullen, City Engineer Jay Kennedy, and City staff
provided Council with an update regarding the CSAH 8/14 realignment project. The primary focus for
the discussion was the following:
Project status/schedule
Final plans for the connection of County Road 8 at Highway 61 and St. John the Baptist Church
Plans for the at -grade railroad crossing of the BN/SF tracks west of Highway 61, which was
approved by the Administrative Law Judge earlier this year
City Council meeting of June 7, 2004
Page 9
Of particular importance is the railroad crossing issue. The preference is to not construct the crossing
and abandon the tracks from County Road 8 to 145h Street, but this is dependent upon the operator
(Minnesota Commercial Railroad) providing a commitment that the track is no longer necessary. The
commitment has not been provided to date, due to a need to keep the track active until the Schwieters
railroad spur issue is resolved. Discussions with John and Joel Schwieters, and the owner of the former
Stock Lumber site, have been informative and fruitful, but the spur issue remains unresolved. At this
point, the final design for the railroad crossing needs to be initiated to keep the project on schedule. The
process would be with the City requesting a cost estimate from Minnesota Commercial Railroad to
construct the crossing, which would take 2-3 months to complete. It is likely that there would be a cost
to the City related to preparing the estimate, but the exact amount will not be known until after the City
makes its request. After the estimate is prepared, the City would need to enter into an agreement to keep
the design moving forward, and would begin expending additional funds. The construction would be
completely separate from the CSAH 8 project, and would take approximately 12 months to complete
following the execution of the agreement. Sandy Cullen outlined the steps needed to be taken in order to
have the project ready to let bids in March 2005.
Miron made motion, Granger seconded, to schedule a Council workshop to discuss the CSAH 8/14
realignment project and the downtown redevelopment plan for Monday, June 28, 2004, at 7:00 pm.
All aye. Motion Carried.
REORGANIZATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
At its workshop meeting on May 21, 2004, Council discussed with staff and financial advisor Paul
Steinman from Springsted, Inc., the issues relative to the reorganization of the City's Economic
Development Authority. Council supported the creation of a separate commission made up of both
Council members and citizens -at -large. An EDA was preferred over the Economic Development
Commission, but with Council maintaining authority and budget control. Staff was directed to place this
issue on this agenda for formal direction to staff, which would include an enabling resolution to provide
for formal reorganization of the City Council as the EDA to a Council -citizen makeup of two Council
members and five citizens -at -large. City staff requested direction from Council as to its appointment of
citizens -at -large and preparation of a draft of the enabling resolution, which provides for the power and
responsibilities of the EDA.
Puleo made motion, Granger seconded, directing staff to prepare an enabling resolution and
development of the EDA Powers and duties, as prescribed in Minnesota Statute.
All aye. Motion Carried.
REQUEST FROM RCWD TO APPROVE PAYMENT FOR WORK COMPLETED ON JD2
REPLACEMENT PROJECT
The City received a payment request from the RCWD for work completed to date on the JD2 culvert
replacement project. The work consisted of the replacement of culverts on 157"' Street and 165"' Street.
As Council is aware, City staff and City Attorney Dave Snyder have met several times with
representatives from the RCWD, Emmons Olivier Resources, and Jay Brothers to reach agreement as to
City Council meeting of June 7, 2004
Page 10
completion of the work and payment for work completed on the project. City staff recommended
Council provide direction as to the approval of the payment request in the amount of $426,327.72.
City Attorney Dave Snyder recommended that Council either deny the payment request or table the
matter.
Miron made motion, Puleo seconded, to deny the payment request from the RCWD for $426,327.72,
based on the City's Cooperative Agreement with the RCWD.
All aye. Motion Carried.
DISCUSSION OF NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAM SIGNS
Deputy Amy Sprague from the WCSO has been involved with the City's first-ever Neighborhood Watch
Program (NWP) as part of her extra duties with the Sheriffs department. Her special focus has been
developing NWP in the City, and she has recommended the installation of Neighborhood Watch signs
on City entrance signs. The NWP is working very well in neighborhoods such as Sweet Grass
Meadows, and City staff reported that the NWP signs have been installed.
CHAMPION OF INDUSTRIES 300
The City received notification that it was a selected as a possible recipient of the "Champions of Industry
300" award given to small communities under 10,000 population, and, if selected, would be recognized
on CNN's Headline News Network. The cost to the City would be $28,000 for production expenses.
This issue was informational and no formal Council action was taken on this matter.
COMMUNITY GYMNASIUM FACILITY UPDATE
City Administrator Mike Ericson provided Council with a brief update on the funding for the new
