employee beginning May 1, 1999. City Administrator Bryan Bear recommends Council approve
the annual performance review for City Clerk Michele Lindau.
G.3 Approve Special Event Permit for Hugo American Legion Oktoberfest Celebration
and Craft Show on Saturday, October 1, 2022
The Hugo American Legion Post 620 has applied for a Special Event Permit for their annual
Craft Show and Oktoberfest Celebration to be held on Saturday, October 1, 2022. This event
requires a Special Event Permit approved by Council because there will be about 200 people in
attendance, alcohol sold outdoors, and music outside until approximately 9 p.m. This event has
been held successfully for the past few years. Staff recommends Council approve the Special
Event Permit for the Hugo American Legion Post 620 in accordance with their application and
conditions in the memo.
G.4 Approve Encroachment Agreement for 16237 Europa Avenue North - Meyers
Timothy and Emily Meyer have requested an encroachment agreement to allow construction of
a fence within a drainage and utility easement on property located at 16237 Europa Avenue
North. The Senior Engineering Technician has reviewed the location of the fence and is
comfortable with the request. Staff has reviewed the request and recommends Council approve
the encroachment agreement for the property located at 16237 Europa Avenue North.
G.5 Approve Resolution Approving Preliminary Tax Levy for 2023
At its August 31, 2022, Midyear Budget Workshop, the City Council listened to a presentation
from Finance Director Anna Wobse highlighting revenues and expenditures to-date as well as
projections for the 2023 fiscal year. It was the consensus of the Council that the 2023
preliminary tax levy allow for a decrease in the urban tax rate. The total proposed 2023 property
tax levy of $10,988,874 will allow the urban tax rate to be lowered to 36.274% of tax capacity,
down from 39.403% of tax capacity. Staff believes this levy is sufficient to fund the operating
and capital budgets in 2023 and meets the objectives of the City Council. Staff recommends
Council approve the Resolution Approving the Preliminary Tax Levy Payable in 2023.
G.6 Approve WSB Proposal for Construction Management Services for the Bernin
Property
In 2002, the City purchased the Bernin property at 6540 Greene Avenue North. Since then, the
City has leased the property to the Bernin family. The lease expired on August 31, 2022 and the
Bernin family has moved from the property. Staff is working with WSB & Associates to provide
an Asbestos and Regulated Materials Assessment report for the property. Once the report is
completed, staff will make a recommendation for the demolition of some or all of the structures
on the property. WSB & Associates has prepared a proposal to assist staff with the management
of the demolition process. If approved, WSB and City Staff will work together to solicit
demolition proposals and make a recommendation to the Council for moving forward. Staff
recommends Council approve WSB’s proposal for construction management services.
G.7 Approve Pay Request No. 13 to Shreiber Mullany for Lions Park Building
Schreiber Mullaney has submitted Pay Request No. 13 for the new building in Lions Volunteer
Park in the amount of $32,519.10. The quantities completed to date have been reviewed and
agreed upon by the architect, contractor and City staff. The amount indicated above reflects the
work certified through August 31, 2022 with a 5% retainage applied. The pay request includes
change order No. 4 in the amount of $27,352.63 for nine items including changes to windows,
signage, and door hardware. It also includes the addition of baby changing stations and fire
extinguisher cabinets. The total retainage being held to date will be $156,909.46. Staff
recommends Council approve payment in the amount of $32,519.10 to Schreiber Mullaney
Construction for the construction of the City of Hugo Peder Pedersen Pavilion.
G.8 Approve Final Pay Request to Peterson Companies for Public Works Facility
Landscaping
Peterson Companies has submitted the final pay request for the landscaping at the Public Works
facility. Staff recommends approval of the pay request in the amount of $2,777.30.
H.1 Assessment Hearing on 121st St. and Acres of Bald Eagle Improvement Project
On September 21, 2021, the Council accepted bids and awarded a contract for construction of the
121st Street and Acres of Bald Eagle utility and street improvements between Everton Avenue
and Falcon Avenue. The project improvements included extension of sanitary sewer and
watermain to serve the Acres of Bald Eagle development, including storm sewer and street
construction. The developer is responsible for the costs associated with the Acres of Bald Eagle,
which includes surface and drainage improvements of 121st Street. The development costs are
not considered as part of this assessment but are paid by the developer under separate
agreement. The existing properties along 121st Street North and Falcon Avenue North benefit
from the extension of sanitary sewer services and water services to their individual lots. At the
August 15, 2022, regular Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution declaring costs to be
assessed for the 121st Street North and Acres of Bald Eagle Utility and Street Improvements
Project and scheduled the assessment hearing on the proposed assessments for September 19,
2022. The Notice of Assessment Hearing has been published in the official newspaper and
mailed to the owners of each parcel described in the assessment roll at least two weeks prior to
the hearing. As part of the assessment hearing, staff will provide a PowerPoint presentation
identifying the improvements, costs and detail payment options. Staff recommends the Mayor
and Council hold the hearing on proposed assessment, hear all comments from those requesting
to be heard, and consider approval of the resolution adopting assessments for the 121st Street
North and Acres of Bald Eagle Utility and Street Improvements after closing the hearing.

N. Adjournment
Mayor Weidt called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.
PRESENT: Klein, Miron, Petryk, Strub Weidt
ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: City Administrator Bryan Bear, Finance Director Anna Wobse, Fire Chief
Compton, and Assistant Fire Chief Emans, City Clerk Michele Lindau
Finance Director Anna Wobse began by talking about the market value of homes and how it
affected the flat tax rate policy. Market values for residential homes for 2023 increased by 21%,
which meant increased tax collections and an increase in residents’ tax bills. At the preliminary
budget workshop in July, there was discussion on deviating from the policy for one year by
returning to the lower 2019 tax rate of 36.274%. It was the consensus of the Council to prepare
the 2023 budget using this lower rate.
Wobse talked about her recommendation to use a contingency budgeting technique, as in the past,
where revenues are conservatively estimated, and departments budget for expenses that may or
may not occur. General fund surpluses may go into the Building Maintenance Fund or
Equipment Purchasing Fund. In addition, $200,000 is budgeted for tax rate stabilization to help if
the economy declines.
For pay 2023, taxable market value increased by 25%, which equaled a 25% increase in tax
capacity. Returning to the lower 36.274% tax rate would mean the proposed levy for 2023 could
not exceed $10,984,174. This would be a 14.5% increase over the 2022 levy. Wobse talked
about how inflation was affecting spending patterns.
Wobse reviewed the seven components of the levy beginning with debt service. There were three
outstanding bond issues; Improvement Bonds of 2011, Public Works Bonds of 2020, and the
Lions Park Bonds of 2021, equaling $16.235 million or $998 per capita. This was lower than the
statewide average for bonded debt of $1,927 per capita. The City was required to levy taxes to
make the bond payments, and the total tax levy for bonded debt would be $992,174. It would
remain at that level until 2041.
Wobse presented a list of non-general fund tax levies totaling $2,057,946. The street CIP levy of
$1,160,000 funds street improvement projects without issuing bonds. The project for 2023 was
the Birch Tree Ponds area street improvement project. Keeping the stormwater levy at $278,788
allowed additional funding for related maintenance. The special parks levy of $92,000 would
help finance neighborhood park improvements. That levy would remain at that level going
forward unless increased by the Council. The firefighter’s relief levy of $27,158 was adopted ten
years ago to ensure the City was able to cover the pension liability. No contributions were
required in 2023, so the fund could grow. Staff recommended the equipment levy be increased by
$260,000 for a total of $500,000 for future Fire Department and Public Works equipment needs.
Wobse reviewed the General Fund Budget that included personnel. There were 27 regular full-
Minutes
HUGO CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MIDYEAR BUDGET WORKSHOP
TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2022 – 5 P.M.
Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for August 31, 2022, Midyear Budget Review

time employees included in the budget, one vacant position in the Community Development
Department, a new deputy clerk position, and funding to allow for the restructuring of the Public
Works Department for lead worker positions and a superintendent. A salary survey showed the
City of Hugo’s pay was comparable to other metro cities. The proposed budget contained a 4.5%
cost of living adjustment. The budget also contained funds to increase the Fire Department
retention program to an hourly rate increase of $1 instead of $.50 for firefighters working between
5-10 years. Health insurance only increased by 2.15%, and HealthPartners was not increasing the
deductible. In summary, the 2023 General Fund Budget was up $1,116,240. In addition to
personnel costs, there were increased operating expenses anticipated for Lions Volunteer Park;
website redesign, room rental and planning software; and $200,000 for flat tax rate stabilization.
Wobse reviewed how revenues were conservatively estimated. Non-tax levy revenues equaled
$729,369. The general fund tax levy requirement after subtracting the non-tax revenues was
$7,934,054. In summary, when adding all levies, the total proposed levy came to $10,984,174.
Wobse provided fiscal disparities distribution information explaining how the City received more
back in volume than contributed. Almost 8.5% of the total tax levy was paid for by this program.
At the proposed urban tax rate of 36.274% in 2023, the median valued home would see an
increase of $156. This rate would be midrange of other cities in Washington County. A new
requirement of the state was to include an insert in the proposed tax notices that would show
various levies and budget details.
Wobse asked for a discussion on a fulltime fire chief saying the budget did not contain funding,
but if the Council chose to add it, it would reduce the equipment levy to cover salary and benefit
costs. She asked for direction on this and on the public works restructuring.
Council had questions on the insert that would accompany the proposed tax notices. Wobse
explained the categories would likely model what is submitted to the state auditor. Bear stated the
mailing will likely influence what the residents think, and it will be interesting to see the
feedback. It was noted it would put emphasis on levies and not values, and other units of
government would be reflected as well, not including the state.
There was discussion on the levy increase of $1.3 million over last year. Wobse talked about the
increase in the equipment levy and inflation affecting the general fund. There was a question on
how Lions Park affected the levy. Wobse explained the park budget increased to $884,000 from
$710,000 partially due to added operating expenses for Lions Volunteer Park and additional
seasonal worker. It was noted that the park costs may be offset by rental revenues.
There were questions on the City’s reserves and its impact on the borrowing rate. Bear explained
having a high balance helps the bond rating. There were other techniques available to achieve the
AAA rating, but it was not on the City’s list to borrow money. It was agreed it was a good idea to
have the reserves since it was unknown whether the fiscal disparities program may go away.
The Council had questions on the impacts of restructuring Public Works. Wobse replied there
would be an impact to the streets fund, parks fund, and the sewer and water fund. It was noted
funds were set aside in the previous year’s budget and not used. The organizational chart had
been modified, and Council indicated they were comfortable moving forward with restructuring.
There was discussion on the full-time fire chief, and it was noted that Miron was not present for
Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for August 31, 2022, Midyear Budget Review
Page 3 of 3
the previous discussion on it. Council was comfortable with decreasing the equipment levy and
placing the funds in the general fund to cover this position. Bear talked about creating goals and
direction for this position and bringing it back to Council for a decision.
Fire Chief Jim Compton, Jr., agreed it was a good idea to meet at another time, but having it in
the budget would make it a positive move. It was said the workshop would then be more of what
the position looked like and less of a financial conversation. The Council was comfortable with
that.
Council thanked Wobse for the presentation and information. They agreed to lower the tax rate
for one year.

Approve Cooperative Agreement with Washington County for the TH 61 Vision Study
In its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and budget, Washington County had included a visioning
and jurisdictional transfer study to be completed for Highway 61. The City of Hugo also had
funds allocated for a total $50,000 to the study in its budget. The study would build on the
existing layout that was developed with the City, Washington County, and MnDOT for the future
expansion of Highway 61. The study would further evaluate the access locations and type of
intersection improvements at each location, define the right-of-way needs for the future
expansion, and evaluate the future transit plans for the Rush Line corridor/Purple Line. The
study would also analyze the future land uses along Highway 61 and transportation corridors that
connect to the highway. Highway 61 was planned to be transferred to Washington County from
MnDOT in the future. The study would develop a detailed implementation plan including future
improvements, timing, cost, and agency responsibility for the transfer to occur. In March,
Washington County put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) to consultants to complete the
visioning and transfer study. Washington County selected Bolton & Menk as the project
consultant. Work would start soon on the study with several public engagement events and
stakeholder meetings planned. Washington County had requested a cooperative agreement for
the City’s portion of the cost of the Study. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the
agreement, subject to the City Attorney review and approval.

Lake Centre, Hanifl Shelter, and the new Pete Peterson Pavilion and outdoor space. Staff had
reviewed the proposal from CivicPlus for the CivicRec Recreation Management System that
would provide staff and users with a web-based system that was easy to use and would meet the
needs for room management. The initial software cost, development fees, and first year service
fees wass $5,938, and the annual recurring service fee would be $4,725. Adoption of the

regular firefighter. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the resignation of Brian
Kindelberger as Lieutenant on the Hugo Fire Department effective August 31, 2022
Approve Resolutions Declaring Costs to be Assessed and Setting Public Hearing for the
Oneka Parkway Improvement Project
City Engineer Mark Erichson explained that on July 5, 2022, the Council had awarded a
construction contract for the completion of the 2022 Oneka Parkway Improvements Project. As
part of the public improvement process, in accordance with the requirement of state statutes
Chapter 429 for assessments to benefitting properties, the City needed to declare the costs to be
assessed and conduct the assessment hearing. The total project cost was $2,600,000 with
assessments totaling $381,500. Staff recommended approval of the resolution declaring the costs
to be assessed and ordering the preparation of the proposed assessment roll for the 2022 Oneka
Parkway Improvements Project. Staff also recommended approval of the resolution calling the
hearing on assessments for the 2022 Oneka Parkway Improvements to be set for October 3,
2022. Construction for the roadway improvements would continue through the fall of 2022 with
the signal improvements continuing into the spring of 2023.
Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2022 – 55 DECLARING THE
COST TO BE ASSESSED AND ORDERING PREPARATION OF PROPOSED
ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR THE 2022 ONEKA PARKWAY IMPROVEMENTS.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Klein made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2022 – 56 CALLING FOR
HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR THE 2022 ONEKA PARKWAY
IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Discussion on Assessment Policy
Staff wanted to determine if the City Council wanted to revisit and discuss any portion of the
assessment policy since Hugo last updated the policy in 2013. Areas that could be discussed were
assessment methodologies, assessment rates or any other particular section. As stated in the
assessment policy, special assessment methods described in the policy could be considered as all-
inclusive and that unique or unusual circumstances may require slight modifications that would be
outlined in the feasibility study. City Engineer Mark Erichson explained the recent Oneka Parkway
project did not fit any methodology outlined in the policy, and he said he could foresee the same
happening in the future. Also, rates had not been evaluated since 2013. Staff could work to include
Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for September 6, 2022
Page 4 of 6
those situations that have been encountered in the past as well as review the 5-year CIP to make
sure the assessment policy included past and potential future unique situations. Erichson suggested
a discussion take place at this meeting or at a future work session.
A question was asked about the adoption of the policy in 2013. Bear said it was a new policy at the
time and likely involved a series of workshops. The City takes on the majority of the costs of
projects. Project costs had increased significantly while the City rates had remained the same.
Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to direct staff to research the currently policy, make
recommendations, and recommend a date to schedule the workshop.
All Ayes. Motion carried.

TO: Honorable Mayor Tom Weidt and Members of the City Council
FROM: Anna Wobse, Finance Director
DATE: For the Council Meeting of September 19, 2022
RE: Preliminary Tax Levy Payable in 2023
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION
Motion to adopt Resolution Approving Preliminary Tax Levy Payable in 2023.
At the mid‐year budget workshop it was the consensus of the City Council that the 2023 preliminary tax
levy allow for a decrease in the current urban tax rate. Using preliminary tax capacity data provided by
Washington County, the total proposed 2023 property tax levy of $10,988,874 will allow the urban tax
rate to be lowered to 36.274% of tax capacity, down from 39.403% of tax capacity.
The proposed tax levy is broken down into the following major categories:
Required Tax Levies – Debt Service
Improvement Bonds of 2011
Capital Improvement Plan Bonds of 2020
Tax Abatement Bonds of 2021
Total Debt Service Levy
$ 18,598
436,196
537,380
$992,174
Discretionary Tax Levies
General Operating Levy
Street Capital Improvement Program

92,000
27,158
$9,996,700
$10,988,874
2023 Proposed Tax Levy
Page 2
Debt Service Tax Levies
This levy is required under the terms of the 2011 Improvement Bond bondholder agreement and per the
terms of the official statements for the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan Bond and 2021 Tax Abatement
Bond. These taxes are used to make principal and interest payments on general obligation bonds issued
by the city. The total levy for debt service in 2023 is $992,174.
General Operating Levy
The levy for general operating purposes is $8,138,754. This levy is used, along with non‐property tax
revenues, to fund general government, public safety, public works, and other city operations. This levy is
needed to balance the general fund with no structural deficit (i.e. transfers from other funds).
The proposed tax levy provides funding to allow for the hiring of a fulltime fire chief and provides for step
increases, a cost‐of‐living adjustment, and health insurance premium coverage for eligible employees for
the 2023 calendar year. The proposed levy also contains a $200,000 appropriation to provide for flat tax
rate stabilization should the taxable market value of property decline due to an economic downturn.
Street Capital Improvement Program Levy
First instituted in 2006, this levy is used to defray a portion of the city’s share of street reconstruction
projects. The proposed levy for 2023 is $1,160,000. When combined with state construction aid, these
funds will allow us to continue improving our network of streets without the need to issue additional
debt.
Equipment Purchasing Levy
This levy is needed to replace big ticket equipment items in the Public Safety and Public Works
Departments that have exceeded their useful life. These items include plow trucks, pickup trucks, dump
trucks, and firefighting vehicles. New equipment prices are ever increasing and in order to be able to fund
future Public Safety and Public Works equipment the proposed levy for 2023 is $300,000.
Storm Water Improvement Levy
This levy is needed to fund water reuse projects and improvements to our drainage systems, including the
repair and/or replacement of catch basins. Eventually funds will be needed to maintain our system of
drainage ponds. This levy is in the amount of $278,788.
Park Improvement Levy
First instituted in 2007, this levy is used to finance capital improvements to the city’s neighborhood park
system. The proposed neighborhood park improvement levy for 2023 is $92,000.
2023 Proposed Tax Levy
Page 3
Fire Relief Levy
This levy is used to accumulate funds to meet the city’s future pension obligations for the Hugo
Firefighter’s Relief Association. Taxes are levied in an amount equal to the PERA employer percentage as
applied to total fire department wages and salaries. These funds are placed in a special revenue fund and
can only be used to make mandatory contributions to the pension fund. The levy for 2023 is $27,158.
Certified Property Tax Levy
The total amount of property taxes to be certified to the county for inclusion in the truth‐in‐taxation
notices amounts to $10,988,874.
Fiscal Disparities
Fiscal Disparities is a program designed by the state legislature to distribute a portion of growth in
commercial and industrial tax values to cities in the seven‐county metropolitan area. Historically, the City
of Hugo has been a “winner” in that we receive more value from the pool than we contribute.
Washington County has certified the payable 2023 amount of $923,170, a decrease of $1,166 from the
previous year. This amount serves to lower the total property tax dollars paid by residents of the city.
Pay 2023
Proposed
Certified Property Tax Levy $ 10,988,874
Less: Fiscal Disparities $ (923,170)
Local Portion of Levy $ 10,065,704
Taxable Market Value and Tax Capacity
The county tax department has released a preliminary estimate of taxable market value and tax capacity
data for next year. The county estimates an increase in the total tax capacity of 25%. These numbers will
most likely change when the county releases “final” numbers prior to the budget adoption meeting
scheduled for December 5, 2022.

Tax Rates
The total proposed 2023 property tax levy of $10,988,874 will allow the urban tax rate to be lowered to
36.274% of tax capacity.

rural tax as follow:

Tax Capacity for Debt Service 3.227%
Total Urban Tax Rate 36.274%
Total Rural Tax Rate 32.969%
City Tax on Median Valued Homestead
According to the latest Washington County data, the median taxable value of a homestead property in Hugo
has increased $63,700 to $379,300, an increase of 20.18%. The tax on this homestead will increase as
follows:

2023 Proposed Tax Levy

Maximum Tax Levy
The preliminary tax levy adopted by the Council on September 19, 2022 can be decreased (but not
increased) following the budget and tax levy public hearing in December. Thus, the preliminary levy
needs to be set at the maximum amount that the Council determines is appropriate.
Conclusion
The proposed tax levy provides for a balanced operating budget and allows for a reduction in the urban and
rural tax rates from their current levels.

Re: Scope of Work and Cost – Bldg. Demolition Specification and Oversight Services
Residential Property
6540 Greene Ave N
Hugo, MN 55038
Dear Mr. Anderson:
Outlined below is a scope of work and cost estimate for WSB to perform Building Demolition and
Oversight Services at the residential property located at 6540 Greene Ave N in Hugo, Minnesota
(Site). The Site consists of Washington County Parcel 16.031.21.32.0001. WSB understands
the Site is developed with a two-story residential dwelling with detached garage, one barn, and
two sheds. According to Site information obtained from Washington County, the dwelling was
constructed in 1951 and consists of 2,184 square feet of living space.
WSB understands the City of Hugo (City) has recently purchased the Site and intends to
demolish the existing Site buildings. The former owner vacated the property the week of
September 1, 2022. WSB was contracted by the City to perform a Destructive Asbestos and
Regulated Materials Assessment at the Site. This assessment is in progress.
The following additional tasks will be performed as part of this Scope of Work:
Task 1: Demolition Specification, Quote Package, Bid Solicitation, and Contract Execution
To facilitate demolition of the Site buildings, the following items will be completed:
Demolition Specification – WSB will prepare a demolition specification for the removal
and disposal of the buildings and restoration of the Site. The specification will be Site
specific and contain details pertaining to the following demolition and restoration
components/requirements:
o Removal, management, and disposal of regulated materials including ACM and
LBP (if applicable).
o Abandonment of water wells and septic tanks (if applicable).
o Removal, management, and disposal of underground storage tanks, lifts/hoists,
sumps, or oil water separators (if applicable).
o Removal and management of petroleum-impacted soil (if applicable).
o Disconnection of all public and private utilities prior to demolition.
o Permit and notification responsibilities prior to demolition.
o Demolition and offsite disposal or recycling of all construction and demolition
debris, including concrete slabs and footings.
o Restoration of Site with backfill, topsoil, seed, and erosion controls.
Quote Package and Solicitation – WSB will prepare a quotation package and solicit bids
from contractors for the demolition of the Site buildings and Site restoration activities. It
is anticipated that a minimum of two competitive bids will be required prior to awarding
the demolition contract. Additionally, it is anticipated that WSB will organize and
Mr. Scott Anderson
September 14, 2022
Page 2
complete one contractor pre-bid walk approximately one week before the bid deadline.
The quotation package will include the following components/requirements:
o Washington County / City Site information
o Demolition specification (prepared by WSB)
o ARM Assessment Report (WSB contracted, work in progress)
o Contractor statement of qualifications and proof of insurance
o City independent contract agreement
o Bid form with costs broken down by:
Removal and disposal of regulated materials including asbestos (if
applicable)
Removal and disposal of petroleum-impacted soil (if applicable)
Removal and disposal of structures and Site restoration
Contract Execution – WSB will summarize the provided demolition bids in a letter to the
City and recommend a contractor based on the lowest responsible bid meeting the
criteria outlined in the quotation package. WSB will also assist with contract execution
prior to initiation of any field work activities.
Task 2: Demolition Oversight and Documentation
WSB will coordinate with contractors and provide oversight and documentation of the Site
demolition activities. The following items will be completed:
Environmental Abatement Coordination - WSB will coordinate with contractors to ensure
demolition activities, including regulated material removal and disposal, are performed in
accordance with local, state, and federal guidelines. WSB will also coordinate with
contractors to obtain documentation for final reporting purposes and will maintain
communication with the City regarding the demolition schedule.
Demolition Oversight - WSB will provide oversight during demolition activities to assess
for unknown environmental conditions. It is possible that the dwelling was formerly
heated by a fuel oil tank and thus petroleum-impacted soil may be encountered during
subsurface excavations associated with the dwelling demolition and removal. WSB will
screen soils with a photoionization detector (PID) during excavation activities to
document the presence / absence of contaminated soil at the Site.
WSB will conduct a walkthrough of the Site buildings prior to demolition to ensure all
regulated materials are removed and properly disposed of at a permitted landfill facility.
WSB will also conduct a final walkthrough following demolition to ensure the Site is
properly backfilled, graded, seeded, and is free of demolition debris. It is assumed that
up to 30 hours of onsite oversight will be required.
Final Documentation and Reporting - WSB will summarize the results of the demolition
oversight services in a final documentation report. At a minimum, the report will include
daily logs, PID Screening results and/or maps, Site location map, Scope of Work,
regulated material removal documentation (if applicable), well and septic abandonment
(if applicable), demolition notifications and permits, backfilling and seeding
documentation, and photographic documentation.

means, methods, sequence, techniques or procedures necessary for performing, superintending and
coordinating the work in accordance with the contract documents and any health or safety precautions
required by any regulatory agencies. The Consultant and its personnel have no authority to exercise any
control over any construction contractor or its employees in connection with their work or any health or

opinions, evaluations or studies submitted by the Consultant and that Consultant assumes no responsibility

assessment hearing, staff will provide a PowerPoint presentation identifying the
improvements, costs and detail payment options. Staff recommends the Mayor and
Council hold the hearing on proposed assessment, hear all comments for those
requesting to be heard, and consider approval of the resolution adopting assessments
for the 121st Street North and Acres of Bald Eagle Utility and Street Improvements after
closing the hearing.
