At its October 1, 2018, meeting, Council tabled this item at the request of City Administrator

affected property owners. RCWD had analyzed and identified certain discrepancies in the
common boundary between the Brown’s Creek Watershed District (BCWD) and the RCWD.

order and the hydrologic boundaries as determined by modern mapping information. RCWD
had conducted hydrologic boundary field investigation in January, 2018, and had developed a

revised boundary for inclusion in a petition to the Board of Water and Soil Resources. MN

boundaries. The RCWD Board of Managers held a public meeting on October 24, 2018, where

Approve Resolution Approving the Washington County All Hazard Mitigation Plan

engaged representatives from cities and townships in hazard mitigation planning to identify risks
and vulnerabilities associated with natural and manmade disasters and develop long-term
strategies for protecting people and property from future hazard events. After making the
required updates to the Washington County All Hazard Mitigation Plan over the past two years,
the plan was submitted to Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management and then
FEMA for approval. Both agencies reviewed the plan and approved it with no changes required.
A FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan is a condition for receiving certain types of non-
emergency disaster assistance, including funding for mitigation projects. Washington County
Sheriff’s Office Emergency Management had requested the City approve a resolution approving
the Mitigation Plan. To receive any of the funding sources through the County, a local
jurisdiction must have submitted a signed resolution to the County for submittal to the State and
FEMA. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2018 – 35 ADOPTING

Parts for two years, to expire on November 3, 2020.

Request

of the Metropolitan Council’s 2019-2020 Clean Water Fund Request. Over the past eight years,

communities implement projects that help achieve sustainable water supplies through the Water
Demand Reduction Grant Program and the Metropolitan Area Water Supply Sustainability
Support. The City of Hugo had recently benefitted from such programs by received funding
