Hugo Fire Department.
G.4. Approve Mid-Year Performance Review for Public Works Worker Neal Nelson
In 2017, after two years as a summer seasonal employee, Neal Nelson was hired by the City as a
full time employee under our Public Works apprentice program. This program allows the City to
hire individuals who are interested in entering the public works field with minimal experience.
The City trains these individuals to be a valuable part of the Public Works Department. Mr.
Nelson successfully completed the apprenticeship program in 2020 and was moved to the status
of regular full-time employee. The Public Works Director is requesting Council approval to
advance him to step 5 of pay grade 5 now which would make him eligible for the maximum at
the end of the year. The mid-year step adjustment has been discussed with the Finance
Department and they feel that the current budget can accommodate the requested salary increase.
Staff recommends Council approve the mid-year performance review and step increase for
Public Works Worker Neal Nelson.

Pension
The Board of Trustees for the Hugo Firefighter’s Relief Association has formally requested City
Council ratification of an increase of $300 per year of service in their lump-sum pension
benefit. The Finance Department has reviewed this request and finds it to be financially feasible

After reviewing the current and historical bylaws of the Hugo Firefighter’s Relief Association

calendar years and the Relief Association has voted to update the language in their bylaws to

H.1 Public Hearing on Interim Ordinance for Cannabis
In 2022, the Legislature legalized the sale and use of edible cannabinoid products but provided
no parameter for the sale of these products. On August 15, 2022, the City Council approved an
interim ordinance on THC products for one year in the City of Hugo. A new law enacted at the
end of the 2023 Legislative Session legalized adult–use cannabis in Minnesota and established a
regulatory framework over the cannabis industry. As of August 1, adults who are 21 years and
older will be able to possess marijuana with certain restrictions. Included in this new law is the
creation of the Office of Cannabis Management that will be responsible for licensing all cannabis
related businesses. The OCM predicts it will have procedures in place by January 1, 2025. The
new law also allows cities to adopt an interim ordinance to place a moratorium until January 1,
2025, on the businesses involving these products to allow the City to consider restrictions on the
time, place, and manner of operation of cannabis businesses. Staff recommends Council hold the
public hearing on the interim ordinance.
H.2 Public Hearing on Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easement for Adelaide Landing
and Approval of Final Plat and Development Agreement for 7th and 8th Addition

easement located over Lot 1, Block 12, Adelaide Landing. The Outlot will be used for the
development of Adelaide Landing 7th and 8th Additions. This lot has an existing home on the
property that will be demolished. New drainage and utility easements will be placed on the lots
at the time the final plat is recorded. The applicant is requesting approval of a final plat and
development agreement in order to plat 6 lots for the 7th Addition and 1 lot for the 8th Addition.
These final plat requests will plat the remaining 7 lots from the Adelaide Landing preliminary
plat. These are the final phases of the development. The lots meet the minimum lot standards and
requirements outlined in the regulations for the Adelaide Landing PUD. Staff recommends that
the City Council approve the notice to vacate the drainage and utility easement located over Lot
1, Block 12, Adelaide Landing. Staff recommends approval the resolutions approving the Final
Plat and Development Agreement for Adelaide Landing 7th and 8th Addition.
H.3 Public Hearing on Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easement and Approval of
Property Line Adjustment for 12345 Hilo Court North and 12237 Hilo Court North
Kile and Jennifer Nadeau are requesting approval of a property line adjustment for their
properties located at 12345 and 12237 Hilo Court North. The properties are 8.76 acres and 8.14
acres respectively in size. The applicants are proposing to adjust the property lines so that the
parcels are 11.9 acres and 5.0 acres in size. There exists a drainage and utility easement over the
property line between these two parcels. Therefore, the applicants are also requesting an
easement vacation in order to relocate the easement along the adjusted property line. The proper
drainage and utility easements will be dedicated for the property only after the easement vacation
is approved
I.1 Discussion on Amended Street CIP
The City of Hugo continues to work to improve its roadway infrastructure and has evaluated City
streets by conducting pavement condition ratings and road tours to prioritize improvement
projects. This past year has been particularly damaging to our roadways, with many road
conditions drastically changing for the worse, resulting in significant changes to priorities for
future road improvement projects. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) provides a schedule for
the various roadway improvements that are necessary to maintain the City streets in an effective
and efficient manner. The proposed Capital Improvement Plan has been reviewed and discussed
with the Finance Director Anna Wobse and Public Works personnel. The financial model for the
Capital Improvement Plan was updated for projected revenues and expenditures and the Capital
Improvement Plan can be funded. Improvements identified to be completed in 2024 include the
reconstruction of Heather Avenue and Upper Heather Avenue area and pavement reclamation
along 125th Street. Staff recommends approval of the resolution requesting Council to consider
approving the proposed 2024 – 2028 Capital Improvement Plan and the resolution requesting
Council to consider authorizing the preparation of a Feasibility Report for the 2024 Street
Improvement Project.
I.2 Discussion on Assessment Fees
The City of Hugo last amended its assessment policy in 2013. Occasional review of the policy to
confirm or modify assessment approach is good municipal practice. Staff will help lead
discussion on to the existing assessment policy and areas we may want to evaluate. Areas of
discussion will be centered on assessment approach, unique circumstances encountered in the
past that we may want to include in the policy and assessment rates.
I.3 Discussion on Fire Department Staffing Needs
At its meeting on March 6, 2023, Council created a subcommittee to discuss organizational
changes within the Hugo Fire Department, including whether to hire a full-time Fire Chief. Staff
will present to council findings and recommendations from the subcommittee. Based on these
findings, the City Administrator is recommending Council authorize the hiring of a Full-Time
Fire Chief. The next steps would involve the creation of a job description, position profile, and
salary structure for final Council approval at a later meeting.

Approve Plans and Spec and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for TH 61 Roundabout
City Engineer Mark Erichson explained the City has collaboratively worked with the
development team for the Shores of Oneka Lake regarding access to TH 61. The developer
would be responsible for costs associated with the construction of the roundabout and have
prepared plans that were currently in the final review stages with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation. MNDOT would not allow a developer to lead a project of this nature on their
highway system coupled with the successful Local Partnership Program Grant the City received

for this project totaling $710,000 that required this to be a City led project. The City would be
required to publicly bid the project. The development agreement for this project outlined cost
responsibilities indicating the development was responsible for all costs excluding the $710,000
grant received from MNDOT.

Approve Plans and Spec and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for Lift Station No. 12
City Engineer Mark Erichson explained the Council had previously authorized staff to prepare
plans and specifications for the Lift Station No. 12. Lift Station No. 12 would be a new sanitary
lift station located on the east side of the extension of Oneka Parkway approximately 550 feet
south of 165th Street. It would initially serve the Oneka Prairie residential development and
eventually other sanitary sewer extensions to the west, north, and east. Since this was a trunk
sanitary sewer lift station it would be funded by the City. The lift station included buried precast
concrete structures, submersible pumps, flow meter, valves, piping, controls, and site work.
Plans and Specifications had been prepared for Lift Station No. 12 and were ready to be
advertised for bidding. Staff requested approval of the plans and specifications for the project
and authorization to advertise for bids. Plans and Specifications were available for review at
City Hall. Consideration of awarding a construction contract would occur at a future City
Council meeting.

Discussion on Solar Farm Ordinance Review Committee (ORC) and Extension of Solar
Farm Moratorium
Reviewing the Solar Energy Systems Ordinance was a goal set by the Council and Planning
Commission for 2023. At its meeting on February 6, 2023, the City Council approved an
ordinance for a six-month moratorium on solar farms and directed staff to hold a workshop with
the Planning Commission on whether changes should be made to the ordinance. A workshop was
held on March 23, 2023. At its meeting on April 3, 2023, the City Council authorized the
Ordinance Review Committee to study and review the solar energy systems ordinance. The
ORC consisted of Council Members Klein, Miron, and three Planning Commissioners. The ORC
discussed aesthetics, zoning and land use, parcel size, setbacks, and reviewed what other
communities had for restrictions on solar farms.
Community Development Director Rachel Juba reviewed the current ordinance and additional
Council Meeting Minutes for June 12, 2023
Page 9 of 12
conditions that could be proposed. She explained that most of the proposed changes by the ORC
included the performance standards such as increased setbacks, limiting the size of solar farms to
five acres, pollinator friendly plants, and vegetation at least six feet tall with a management plan.
The ORC also proposed imposing additional setbacks based on the type of landscaping. She
recommended the Council discuss the ORC’s proposed revisions and authorize a public hearing
to be held at the Planning Commission on the revisions. She said the Council could also send it
back to the ORC if the Council wanted it to be reviewed by them further. The moratorium would
expire on August 6, 2023, and in order to provide notice for a public hearing on the ordinance
revisions, she recommended the adoption of an ordinance extending the moratorium an
additional six-months.
Strub asked about the five-acre maximum rationale. Juba explained the ORC wanted solar farms
limited to one megawatt, and one megawatt was typically five acres.
Miron, recalled that the recommendation was not driven by energy production but by visual
appearance of the solar farm. Maybe over time when solar farms become more efficient, more
energy could be produced on a smaller footprint.
Petryk asked if an applicant could ask for a variance from the five acres. Juba replied it was a
performance standard, and it could be requested if there was a compelling reason. Petryk asked
about the types of pollinator plants. Juba replied that a landscape plan would be required and be
part of the maintenance of the site.
Weidt’s opinion was he liked the five-acre limit and could fit into a neighborhood without a lot
of impact.
Weidt made motion, Klein seconded, to approve. ORDINANCE NO. 2023- 526 EXTENDING
A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON NEW DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR FARM SOLAR
ENERGY SYSTEMS AND DIRECTING A STUDY TO BE CONDUCTED.
Miron added that there was a desire to not overly restrict residents’ property rights but to make
sure it fits the landscape. He felt it was important to point out that the current project on 165th
exceeds the proposed performance standards.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Miron made motion, Petryk seconded, to direct staff to proceed with the proposed provisions and
schedule a public hearing at the Planning Commission.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Approve Proposal to Develop North Star Wetland Bank Prospectus
Parks Planner Shayla Denaway provided an update on North Star Wetland Bank. At the Council
meeting of May 22, 2022, authorization was given to WSB and Associates to do vegetation and
hydrology monitoring and prepare a draft prospectus (scope) for the North Star Wetland Bank. In
Council Meeting Minutes for June 12, 2023
Page 10 of 12
February, 2023, Council had authorized WSB to complete the draft prospectus to be submitted to
the Technical Evaluation Panel to determine if the wetland bank was worth pursuing. In May,
2023, the Council approved some funding for additional monitoring work based on the feedback
from the TEP. WSB had prepared a cost estimating memo outlining the next steps and a
proposal for submitting the prospectus document to the TEP.
The total project area of 123 acres would yield approximately 70 credits of wetland banking
credits. She provided a total cost estimate of $568,000-$700,055. This did not include any trail
construction but that was estimated at 1.2-2.2 million depending on the need for boardwalks and
the final outline. Potential revenue was estimated at the sale of 70 wetland credits, but a more
conservative estimate would be 50 credits depending on existing wetlands or if the project did
not meet the performance standards. Potential revenue from the sale of credits could be between
$2.1. and $6.1 million. Denaway said the TEP was generally supportive of the project, and WSB
felt it was appropriate to move on to the next steps
Klein made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve proposal from WSB to develop the North Star
Wetland Bank Prospectus in the amount of $55,026.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Discussion on Consideration of Cannabis Businesses Moratorium
City Administrator Bryan Bear explained the edibles bill approved by the legislature last year
legalized low potency edible products but did not provide framework for regulation. The City
had approved a mortarium that would expire in August that prohibited the sale and
manufacturing of them. During the 2023 Legislative Session, a cannabis bill was approved to
legalize the use, possession, and sale of cannabis products. The legislation was comprehensive
and very lengthy. Procession and use would become legal in August of this year, but the sale of
these products was likely to be delayed until January, 2025 to allow the state to create the agency
to manage licensing and regulations to be known as the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM).
After the regulatory framework was establish, the City would need to fit its local responsibility
within this framework. In order to allow time for that to occur, the City could put on a new
interim ordinance. The interim ordinance may regulate, restrict, or prohibit the operation of a
cannabis businesses within the jurisdiction or a portion thereof until January 1, 2025. Before
adopting an interim ordinance, the governing body must hold a public hearing.
Miron asked if with the intersection of these two bills, would the currently allowed edibles be
licensed by the new state agency. Bear explained there were a few rules that now needed to
follow, and there would be more under this bill. Until the OCM is established, they will be
under the regulation of the MN Department of Health. He explained the new law required they
apply through the state and register with the City if it complied with zoning rules. The new
regulations imposed some maximums in zoning controls. The City could impose some
requirements for restrictions.
Petryk asked what the fees the City could impose. Bear replied that some cities had been setting
their own fee structure for the low potency products. The new legislation put a halt to that and
Council Meeting Minutes for June 12, 2023
Page 11 of 12
registration fees are scripted in the statute. The City would receive a fraction of the cannabis tax
from retailers to be used to pay for compliance and testing. Roles of the City would be to
confirm they are compliant with the City’s zoning rules, register businesses, and do compliance
checks.
Klein ask if the cannabis licensing would mirror liquor licensing. Bear replied that it was a new
regulatory program that would be handled by the Office of Management Cannabis. If the City
had adopted regulations on low potency products, those rules would be replaced by state
licensing, however the City did not have those regulations in place.
Miron recalled that when the City voted on the moratorium in the first place, part of the rationale
was to wait for the state to comprehensively figure it out. He said it would be premature to allow
something now and felt it made sense to extend the moratorium. Bear explained the current
moratorium ended in August, and this would be a new moratorium. Staff would be working on
the language for the moratorium.
Petryk made motion, Miron seconded, to authorize a public hearing at the next Council meeting
to discuss the consideration of a cannabis business moratorium.
All Ayes. Motion carried.

Chief Compton,
Please accept this letter as notice of my retirement from the Hugo Fire Department, effective 6/25/2023.
I have had the pleasure to serve the community for the last 13+ years. I have relocated out of the area so
I will no longer be able to serve. I feel fortunate to have had all the opportunities for training,
promotions, various positions with the Relief Association and most of all the personal growth that being
part of this organization allowed me. I wish the City of Hugo and the Hugo Fire Department nothing but
the best in the future. Be safe and take care!
Sincerely,
Kevin M. Kriegshauser

SUBJECT: Firefighter’s Relief Association Pension Increase
DATE: For the City Council Meeting of July 10, 2023
DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION
Motion to Ratify Board of Trustees Request for $300 Increase in Lump‐Sum Pension and Approve Revised Bylaws
OPTIMUM PENSION BENEFIT LEVEL
On April 2, 2012, the City Council adopted a Resolution Adopting the Firefighter Relief Pension Fiscal Policy. 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, eight other lump‐sum relief associations received state fire aid in 2022
within 10% of the amount received by Hugo. These associations are located in: New Prague, Albert Lea, Little Falls,
Albertville, Fergus Falls, Marshall, Waconia and Ham Lake. Staff feels that this is a good sampling of associations.
Using data from these eight associations, staff can establish the optimum pension benefit level at $4,595 per year of
service. This average is $295 above the current benefit amount and staff recommends that we reach this average with
an immediate increase of $300.
The Board of Trustees voted to increase their lump‐sum pension benefit from $4,300 per year of service to $4,600 and
is asking the City Council to ratify this increase as well as approve a revision to the bylaws incorporating this new benefit
level.
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: $2,491,199 (projected)
Total Pension Liability: $1,641,076 (after $300 increase)
Projected Surplus: $850,123 (52% of liability)
The attached projections show that the investment portfolio can withstand a 35% market correction while still
maintaining a surplus.
RECOMMENDED PENSION BENEFIT LEVEL INCREASE
Staff is recommending the City Council approve a motion to ratify the Board of Trustees request for a $300 increase in
the lump‐sum pension benefit and approve a change to the bylaws incorporating this new benefit level. This will bring
Hugo’s pension benefit to $4,600 per year of service (within $5 of the optimum level described above).

CITY OF HUGO,
COUNTY OF WASHINGTON
ORDINANCE NO. 2023-
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE SALE, TESTING, MANUFACTUR1NG, AND
DISTRIBUTION OF CANNABINOID PRODUCTS
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hugo does ordain: SECTION 1.
BACKGROUND.
1. By enacting 2022 Session Law Chapter 98, Article 13, the Minnesota Legislature amended
Minn. Stat. §151.72 regulating the sale of “edible cannabinoid products” that contain no more
than 0.3 % of Tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly known as THC (“THC Products”)
2. On August 15, 2022, The City of Hugo adopted an interim ordinance prohibiting the sale,
testing and manufacturing of edible cannabinoid products, and is set to expire on August 15,
2023.
3. By enacting 2023 Session Law though HF100 and SF73, Chapter 63, the Minnesota Legislature
has newly defined and redefined types of types of intoxicating and non-intoxicating cannabis
and hemp products.
4. The Act expands the types of legal products and now includes cannabinoid products, cannabis
products, lower-potency hemp edibles, and edible cannabis products, among other things.
5. The Act provides a regulatory framework for the sale, and manufacturing of cannabis and hemp
products and for the licensing of cannabis and hemp businesses, and establishes a State Agency
now called the “Office of Cannabis Management” (OCM).
6. The Act directs the OCM to research and study cannabis and hemp, make rules, establish policy,
and exercise regulatory authority over cannabis and hemp businesses.
7. Section 343.13 of the Act allows a local unit of government to “adopt reasonable restrictions
on the time, place, and manner of the operation of a “cannabis business,” including limiting the
number of licenses, and mandating registration and compliance checks. It further allows a local
unit of government to enact an interim ordinance that “may regulate, restrict, or prohibit the
operation of a cannabis business within the jurisdiction or a portion thereof until January 1,
2025.”
8. Section 343.22 of the Act requires local units of government to provide for registration and
compliance checks for low-potency hemp products, and does not specifically prohibit local
control of lower-potency hemp edibles.
9. The Act requires the OCM to create a regulatory framework for cannabis and hemp products
and directs the OCM to draft model ordinances for local units of government to establish certain
zoning and other regulations related to cannabis products. The Act further requires the OCM
to develop standardized forms for retail registration and compliance checks by local units of
government of cannabis businesses and lower-potency hemp businesses.
10. The City will benefit from an understanding of the OCM’s regulations, rules, model ordinances,
forms, registration procedures, and guidance for compliance checks before making decisions
related to cannabis and lower-potency hemp businesses.
11. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 462.355, subd. 4, the City is authorized to enact by ordinance a
moratorium to regulate, restrict or prohibit any use within the jurisdiction to protect the public
health, safety, and welfare. Specifically, the City is authorized to enact a moratorium ordinance
to allow it to undertake a study to determine whether to adopt any regulations or restrictions,
including siting and location of uses, related to the sales, testing, manufacturing, and
distribution of cannabis and lower-potency hemp products.
12. Section 343.13 of the Act allows a city to adopt an interim ordinance relating to regulation of
cannabis businesses until January 1, 2025. This provision only relates to cannabis businesses,
and does not include the ability to study lower-potency hemp products, even though the new
Act regulates such products, creates the OCM to administer regulations, and requires certain
functions for a city including registration and compliance checks and other matters.
13. Pursuant to its general police powers, including but not limited to, Minn. Stat. §
421.221, subd. 32, the City may enact and enforce regulations or restrictions on both cannabis
and lower-potency hemp products within the City to protect the public safety, health, and
welfare, including restrictions and a moratorium on the use of sales, testing, manufacturing,
and distribution, during the pendency of a study to determine the need for police power
regulations, including but not necessarily limited to licensing and permitting.
14. The Act specifically allows for the immediate sale of “edible cannabis products” at exclusive
on-sale liquor stores. The definition of “edible cannabis products” in the Act, excludes “lower-
potency hemp edibles.” “Edible cannabis products” are now prohibited by interim ordinance
2022-515, which expires on August 15, 2023.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS.
1. The City Council finds there is a need to study cannabinoid products, which includes cannabis
products and lower-potency hemp products including uses and businesses related thereto, in
order to assess the necessity for and efficacy of regulation and restrictions relating to the sales,
testing, manufacturing, and distribution of cannabinoid products, including through licensing
or zoning ordinances, in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfares of its residents.
2. The study will allow the City Council to determine the appropriate changes, if any, that that it
should make to City ordinances.
3. The City Council, therefore, finds that there is a need to adopt a City-wide moratorium of the
sale, testing, manufacturing, and distribution of cannabinoid products within the City while
City staff studies the issue.
SECTION 3. MORATORIUM.
1. No individual, establishment, organization, or business may sell, test, manufacture,
or distribute cannabinoid products for twelve (12) months from the effective date of this
ordinance.
2. The City shall not issue any license or permit related to cannabinoid products for twelve (12)
months from the effective date of this ordinance. No license or permit application, of any kind,
by any individual, establishment, organization, or businesses involved in the proposed sale,
testing, manufacturing, or distribution of cannabinoid products within the City of Hugo shall
be accepted or considered for twelve (12) months from the effective date of this ordinance.
3. Planning or zoning applications related to cannabinoid products or applications from
individuals, establishments, organizations, or businesses involved in the proposed sale, testing,
manufacturing, or distribution of cannabinoid products within the City of Hugo shall not be
accepted or considered for twelve (12) months from the effective date of this ordinance.
4. This moratorium does not apply to the sale of edible cannabinoid products as defined in section
151.72, subdivision 1, paragraph (f) in exclusive liquor stores.
SECTION 4. STUDY. The City Council directs City staff to study the need for local regulation regarding
the sale, testing, manufacturing, or distribution of cannabinoid products within the City of Hugo. Staff must
also study the need for creating or amending zoning ordinances, licensing ordinances, or any other
ordinances to protect the citizens of Hugo from any potential negative impacts of cannabinoid products.
Upon completion of the study, the City Council, together with such commission as the City Council deems
appropriate, or as may be required by law, will consider the advisability of adopting new ordinances or
amending its current ordinances.
SECTION 5. ENFORCEMENT. The City may enforce this Ordinance by mandamus, injunctive relief,
or other appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction. The City Council hereby authorizes
the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, to initiate any legal action deemed necessary to
secure compliance with this Ordinance. A violation of this Ordinance is also subject to the City’s general
penalty in City Code § Sec. 1 -18 subd. (b).
SECTION 6. TERM. Unless earlier rescinded by the City Council, the moratorium established under this
Ordinance shall remain in effect until twelve (12) months from its effective date, at which point, it will
automatically expire. The City Council acknowledges that the Act will allow the City to enact a longer
moratorium on the establishment and operation of cannabis businesses that may prohibit such businesses
until January 1, 2025.
SECTION 7. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage by the City Council.
This ordinance is effective upon adoption.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 10th day of July, 2023

Re: Final Plat Review
Adelaide Landing 7th-8th Addition
WSB Project No. 017525-000
Dear Ms. Juba:
We have reviewed the final plat submittal for the above-referenced project. In particular, we have
reviewed the following plans related to this particular request:
• Grading and Construction Plans for Sanitary Sewer, Watermain, Storm Sewer, and
Streets dated 6/16/2023 by Carlson McCain
• Storm Sewer Design dated 01/15/21 by Westwood Professional Services
• Adelaide 7th and 8th Addition Plat submitted June 21, 2023
Based on the review of the final plat documents, we offer the following comments related to this
application:
Final Plat
1. Drainage and Utility easements shall be placed over outlot A.
Development Agreement
2. There are a number of development fees outlined within the City’s Fee Schedule that will
become due as part of the final plat. The Development Fees will be included within Exhibit C
of the Development Agreement.
Grading, Street, and Utility Plans
3. Streets and Utilities have previously been installed as part of an earlier phase of Adelaide
Landing in anticipation of this project. Site grading, erosion control, pond and piped oulet
construction, and restoration remain.
Wetland
4. No wetland impacts are proposed with this development.
Ms. Rachel Juba

Stormwater
5. Stormwater permitting for the overall Adelaide Development excluded the 7th and 8th Addition
area. A separate stormwater permit from the City will be required to be obtained for the 7th
and 8th Additions.
6. Rate control for the site is proposed to be met utilizing a stormwater pond onsite. Water
quality requirements are met through the water reuse system constructed with the overall
Adelaide Development which will be used to irrigate the 7th and 8th Additions.
7. Confirmation of the existing home elevations adjacent to the 8th Addition are needed to
confirm freeboard requirements for the site are met.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on this project. Additional detailed red-lined
comments have been provided to the applicant’s engineer. These comments will need to be
addressed prior to approval of the construction plans. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me at 651-286-8463.

CITY OF HUGO
PLANNING AND ZONING
APPLICATION STAFF REPORT
TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
FROM: Max Gort, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Kile and Jennifer Nadeau – Property Line Adjustment and Easement Vacation
for properties located on Hilo Court North.
DATE: July 6th, 2023 for the City Council meeting of July 10th, 2023
ZONING: Planned Unit Development (PUD)
LAND USE: Large Lot Residential (LL)
60-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: August 13, 2023
1.DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
The applicants are requesting approval of a property line adjustment for their properties located
at 12345 and 12237 Hilo Court North. Both properties are zoned as PUD guided as Large Lot
Residential, and are 8.76 acres and 8.14 acres respectively in size. The applicant is proposing to
adjust the property lines so that the parcels are 11.9 acres and 5.0 acres in size. There exists a
drainage and utility easement over the property line between these two parcels. Therefore, the
applicants are also requesting an easement vacation in order to relocate the easement along the
adjusted property line. The proper drainage and utility easements will be dedicated for the
property only after the easement vacation is approved.
2.ANALYSIS:
Section 90-339 of the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Regulations states that, “where adjacent
property owners desire to adjust their mutual lot line without creating a new parcel or lot of
record, they may request a property line adjustment.” Subd. (2) of this section further states that,
“where the adjustment of the property line between two properties retains or causes both
properties to be in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Regulation, the
Zoning Administrator shall provide the application to the City Council for administrative review
and consideration.” The applicants own both properties.
Nadeau Property Line Adjustment and Easement Vacation
The properties are part of The Preserve on Sunset Lake development that was approved as a
Planned Unit Development (PUD). The developer received PUD flexibility to allow for a
minimum lot size of 5 acres while maintaining an overall density of 1 unit per 10 acres. The
requested property line adjustment meets the requirements of the PUD resolution.
The City maintains a 10-foot wide drainage and utility easement over the property line that
separates the two parcels. The existing easement was dedicated as part of the Preserve on Sunset
Lake final plat. The applicants request to vacate the existing easement would allow a new
easement to be dedicated over the adjusted property line.
Findings
Staff finds that both properties will comply with all applicable regulations in the City Code and
PUD requirements with the approval of the property line adjustment. Staff also finds that the
applicants have a valid request to vacate the existing easement in order to dedicate a new
easement over the adjusted property line.
3.RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the property line adjustment and easement vacation requests by
Kile and Jennifer Nadeau for properties located at 12345 and 12237 Hilo Court North.

Re: 2024 - 2028 Capital Improvement Program and 2024 Street Improvement Project
City of Hugo, MN
WSB Project No. 023220-000
Dear Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Staff:
The City of Hugo continues to work to improve its roadway infrastructure and has evaluated City
streets by conducting pavement condition ratings and road tours to prioritize improvement
projects. This past year has been particularly damaging to our roadways, with many road
conditions drastically changing for the worse, resulting in significant changes to priorities for
future road improvement projects. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) provides a schedule for
the various roadway improvements that are necessary to maintain the City streets in an effective
and efficient manner.
The following table summarizes the proposed 5-year Capital Improvement Plan for the City of
Hugo. The table identifies the roadways, recommended improvements, and estimated project
costs (which incorporates 2023 construction costs and include construction contingency and
indirect costs). The proposed Capital Improvement Plan has been reviewed and discussed with
the Finance Director Anna Wobse and Public Works personnel. The financial model for the
Capital Improvement Plan was updated for projected revenues and expenditures and the Capital
Improvement Plan can be funded as outlined on the following page.
Please note, the improvements are proposed based on visual inspection and Public Works
insights and maintenance records. WSB has scheduled roadway cores to determine the overall
condition of the pavement and underlying materials. This data will be used to confirm
assumptions and assist with project bidding.
A map illustrating the proposed 2024 – 2028 Capital Improvement Plan is attached.
2024 - 2028 Capital Improvement Program and 2024 Street Improvement Project
July 6, 2023
Page 2
Improvements identified to be completed in 2024 include the reconstruction of Heather Avenue
and Upper Heather Avenue area and pavement reclamation along 125th Street. Reclamation is
the process by which the existing deteriorating roadway surface is reused as aggregate roadway
base for the new street section.
Attached are two resolutions, a resolution requesting Council to consider approving the proposed
2024 – 2028 Capital Improvement Plan and a resolution requesting Council to consider
authorizing the preparation of a Feasibility Report for the 2024 Street Improvement Project.
I am available to answer your questions at your July 10, 2023, Council meeting or you may call
me at 651.286.8463.

Re: Assessment Policy Discussion
WSB Project No. 021008-000
Dear Mayor and Council,
The City of Hugo last amended its assessment policy in 2013. Occasional review of the policy to
confirm or modify assessment approach is good municipal practice. Staff will help lead
discussion on to the existing assessment policy and areas we may want to evaluate. Areas that
will be discussed include, but are not limited to the following:
Assessment Policy - General Background and approach
Comparison with neighboring/nearby communities
Confirm general assessment approach or change philosophy on assessments
Address unique circumstances that have occurred that are not specifically covered in the
assessment policy (Oneka Parkway Project)
Assessment rate discussion
If you have any questions or items you wish to discuss, you can contact me at 612.360.1278.

FROM: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Full Time Fire Chief Position
DATE: July 6, 2023 for the City Council meeting of July 10, 2023
BACKGROUND:
For the past couple of years, Council has established as a goal to evaluate staffing needs within
the Hugo Fire Department. Specifically, this discussion has centered on whether the City is
ready to employ a Full-Time Fire Chief.
The Fire Department functions today without a full time staff, but uses a system including 11
part-time officers serving in various roles for the purpose of dividing administrative tasks for the
Department. Included within those roles is a part-time Fire Chief and two part-time Assistant
Chiefs.
Council held workshops in 2022 and discussed the organizational make-up of the Department,
reviewed call types, volumes, and trends, and discussed Council priorities concerning Fire
Department roles and responsibilities. Council also discussed a variety of Fire Department
models and possible organizational schemes for the Hugo Fire Department. At the end of 2022,
Council adopted the 2023 budget, which included a Full-time position for a Fire Chief.
Although this position was included within the 2023 budget, the Council is not obligated to fill
the position.
In early 2023, Council established a subcommittee consisting of Mayor Weidt, Council Member
Miron, Chief Compton, Deputy Chief Jensen, Assistant Chief Emans, Fire Marshal Duncanson,
and Firefighter Bieniek. Captains Hoernemann and Palmquist attended one meeting to present
information they had gathered concerning this topic from Fire Department Staff.
ANALYSIS:
The subcommittee evaluated several Council priorities for the Hugo Fire Department, including
Support the City’s existing paid-on-call model for fire response.
Retain and enhance a system to provide succession and strong leadership in
officer positions (Farm System)
No new community services or programs, or expanded Fire Department
operations desired at this time
Support management needed to administer the existing HFD
CITY OF HUGO
MEMORANDUM
Equipment, trucks, facilities and staffing as existing and planned are sufficient
Fire response and Rescue are top priority
Retain strong positive culture that exists within the HFD
When discussing Council priorities, the subcommittee focused largely on department culture,
based on feedback presented from firefighters concerning the importance of culture. They also
recognized that the HFD might function somewhat differently from other Fire Departments, and
those differences are intentional.
Among multiple options for department reorganization, discussion has recently focused on two
basic options:
Option 1: Keeping things as they are.
When discussing this option, the subcommittee recognized some drawbacks within our current
model. Among them, there are two primary drawbacks. The first includes lack of availability of
a part-time chief. A part-time Chief typically has a separate Full-Time job and is not routinely
available when needed. Firefighters mentioned availability of the Chief as a concern. Lack of
availability also becomes a concern when an unexpected event happens within the Department.
Such an event could mean a serious injury to a firefighter, a disciplinary matter, other
administrative and HR needs, a complicated fire investigation, or issues with trucks or
equipment. While the Fire Department is typically resourceful and capable, there are specific
needs that arise when leadership cannot allocate sufficient time to address matters efficiently.
The other primary drawback involves the time commitment for effectively and responsibly
leading the Department. While the position includes a part-time salary, this time commitment is
more than most can commit, and it has a limiting effect on qualified applicants for the position.
Burnout is also a possible concern as a Fire Chief will need to balance this important part-time
position, with a full-time job along with any personal and family obligations. There is a real
possibility that with any future job opening for Part-Time Fire Chief, the City might expect to
receive no applicants.
Option 2. Hiring a Full-Time Chief.
The drawbacks with this option surround retaining the existing culture. Firefighters are
concerned that hiring a Chief from the outside might bring unfavorable cultural elements from
the outside. There was also a concern that a Full-Time Chief might try to make fundamental
changes to the Department operating structure, and that leadership opportunities that now exist
could disappear.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the above analysis and subcommittee discussion, it is my recommendation that Council
proceed with the hiring of a Full Time Fire Chief. Staff asks for Council direction to write a job
description and position profile. This information will include Council’s priorities, which
incorporate feedback from within the Department. Of primary importance is creating a system
that retains and strengthens a positive and collaborative working environment. Instrumental to
this is the retention of an officer’s hierarchy, with some responsibility for duties and
responsibility spread among a number of officers. One goal of this system is to promote
leadership and develop a “Farm System” to train and eventually promote to various positions,
including the Fire Chief, from within.
With Council direction, staff will return with a job description, position profile and salary
structure for Council approval. Staff would strongly encourage applicants from within the
Department to apply for the position. Following the hiring of a Full-Time Chief, the Chief will
return to Council with recommendations for any department reorganizational changes based on
Council priorities.

The following items were distributed at
the Council meeting.
RESOLUTION 2013 - 19
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGO,
WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA,
ADOPTING SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICIES
WHEREAS, the City Council deems it advisable and in the best interest of the City of
Hugo to adopt policies relating to special assessments.
WHEREAS, the City Council intends that these policies not be construed as exclusive but
instead to provide general guidelines for addressing assessments in the City, and in enacting
these policies, the City Council acknowledges that special cases and variations may be required
based on the particular facts present in any given situation.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Hugo that the following assessment polices will be followed for all public improvements in the
City of Hugo:
1. Assessment Amount
A. The grand total of the assessments related to a project cannot exceed the City’s total
project cost.
B. The amount of any individual assessment cannot exceed the special benefit to the
property. In this case, special benefit is defined as the increase in the market value of the
property because of the improvement.
2. When Assessments Will Not be Levied
A. No special assessments will be levied against designated flood plans, municipal storm
water ponds, or wetland areas on private property as determined by criteria in the
Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
The limits of wetlands will be determined by the City on a case-by-case basis at the time
of preliminary project design and feasibility report preparation.
B. No special assessments will be levied against railroad, county highway, or state highway
right-of-ways.
3. Interest Rate
A. The rate of interest on assessments for which bonds were issued to finance the project
shall be two percent (2%) greater than the rate of interest on the bonds. In the event that
no bonds were issued to finance the project, the rate of interest shall be two percent (2%)
greater than the average rate of interest on all bonds issued in the prior calendar year, or if
no bonds were issued in the prior calendar year, two percent (2%) greater than the current
bond market rate for the City of Hugo.
Resolution 2013-19
4. Method of Assessment
A. When residential parcels are assessed on a unit basis, a unit shall be defined as one
buildable lot consistent with the prevailing zoning district in which the project is located.
Other property classifications shall be assessed on a front-footage basis at the rates
established on an annual basis by the City Council.
B. The special assessment method described in the policy statement cannot be considered as
all inclusive. Unique or unusual circumstances may, at times, justify special
consideration. In such situations, the City Council may, from time to time, establish by

other report to evaluate the technical and financial aspects of the project. The City
Council may or may not move forward with a project based on the results of the
Feasibility Report.
B. New Roadways/Projects Not Included in the Capital Improvement Program
Improvements will be assessed on a front-footage or unit basis, with 100% of the project
cost being assessed provided the benefit as a result of the project meets or exceeds the
amount of the assessment. See Exhibit A for financing parameters associated with new
collector streets and associated utilities.
C. Gravel Roadway Paving
Paving of existing gravel roadways shall be assessed on a front-footage or unit basis, with
100% of the project cost being assessed provided the benefit as a result of the project
meets or exceeds the amount of the assessment. The City Council may, at their
discretion, provide funds to offset the project cost based on the actual cost to provide
additional gravel surfacing to the roadway as part of routine roadway maintenance.
D. Roadway Reconstruction/Rehabilitation
Roadway reconstruction and rehabilitation shall be classified as one of the following:
1. Complete Roadway Reconstruction: This shall include complete pavement removal,

development.
Page 3
Resolution 2013-19
3. Sewer and water service replacements between the sewer main and the property line
shall be assessed on a per service basis at one hundred percent (100%) of the City’s

shall be assessed equally over the benefited area at a determined rate per unit.
H. Storm Sewer
1. For new developments or improvements petitioned for by benefiting properties not
included in the Capital Improvements Plan, one hundred percent (100%) of the storm
sewer costs shall be assessed to all parcels within the development, or the assessment
shall be the fee required to be paid by the City’s Stormwater Trunk and Ponding Fee
Ordinance.

in the Roadway Reconstruction/Rehabilitation section, shall include the storm-sewer
improvements.
6. Assessable Costs
The amounts included in the costs assessable under this policy shall include the following:
A. Contract Costs: Amount paid to contractors for constructing the improvements.
B. Construction Interest:The costs of financing during the period between the date when
the first payment is made to the contractor exceeding any amount placed in escrow

7. Roadway Reconstruction/Rehabilitation Assessment Rates
A. Single-Family Residential/Duplexes
1. Residential Roadways:Single-Family residential and duplex rates are typically based

rural area. The assessments shall be levied on a unit basis rather than a front-footage
Page 4
Resolution 2013-19
basis. Lots that can be subdivided according to the prevailing zoning regulations will
be reviewed on an individual basis to determine whether or not additional unit
assessments should be levied.
The single-family residential/duplex assessment rates to be utilized for the year 2008
are as follows:
Complete Reconstruction: $5,200/unit
Partial Reconstruction: $4,100/unit
Roadway Reclamation/Overlay: $3,400/unit
Urban Roadway Overlay: $2,100/unit
Rural Roadway Overlay: $1,800/unit
2. City Municipal State-Aid Roadways: Single-family residential assessments for
reconstruction/rehabilitation shall be levied in accordance with the typical residential
rates outlined in the policy.
B. Commercial, Industrial, Tax-Exempt, and Multi-Family Residential
1. Residential Roadways: Commercial, Industrial, Tax-Exempt, and Multi-Family
Residential rates will be reviewed on an individual basis and will be assessed on a
front-foot basis. The front-foot rate is determined by dividing the single-family
residential/duplex rate by 80 and multiplying by 1.5 (SF Res./Dup. Rate/80 x 1.5) to
arrive at the rate.
2. City Municipal State-Aid Roadways: Commercial, Industrial, Tax-Exempt, and
Multi-Family Residential assessments will be assessed on a front-foot basis using the
method outlined in Section 7.B.1. Each assessment will be reviewed on an individual
basis to determine whether or not the property receives additional benefit from
specific improvements not typical for residential roadways which may require
assessments beyond the standard assessment rates.
C. State and County Roadways
1. If the City incurs costs related to the reconstruction or rehabilitation of State or
County roadways, the City may levy assessments based on the following:
a. Single-Family Residential/Duplexes: Assessments for
reconstruction/rehabilitation shall be levied on a unit basis at the standard
residential rates outlined in Section 7.A.1 based on the category of the
improvement as outlined in Section 5.D.
b. Commercial, Industrial, Tax-Exempt, and Multi-Family Residential:
Commercial, Industrial, Tax-Exempt, and Multi-Family Residential
assessments will be reviewed on an individual basis.
Page 5
Resolution 2013-19
D. Assessment Rate Modifications
1. The assessment rate will be included within the City’s adopted fee schedule, and will
be reviewed on an annual basis by the City Council. The City Council may consider
an adjustment to the assessment rate based on an appropriate industry guideline, such
as the Construction Cost Index, provided the adjustment does not exceed the benefit.
The City Council may also undertake a Special Benefit Analysis at their discretion to
either adjust the assessment rate or verify that the rate as adjusted through the use of a
cost index is consistent with the expected benefit.
8. Calculation of Payment
A. The assessment amount shall be amortized over the term of the assessment, at the
applicable interest rate, with equal installment payments through the term.
9. Corner and Other Lots
A. For single-family residential properties, corner, and other multiple-frontage, lots will be
assessed one-half unit for each roadway frontage. In the case of lots with more than two
frontages, the units will be prorated so the property assessment will total one unit once all
frontages have been improved.
B. For Commercial, Industrial, Tax-Exempt, and Multi-Family Residential properties,
assessments may be levied for multiple projects/frontages based on access.
10. Delay or Deferment of Assessments
A. Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer, and Water Improvement Projects: Pursuant to Minn. Stat.
S. 429.061, the City may delay making assessments for these types of improvements on
property that is not completely developed, such as property which is presently served
with a septic system. These costs may be deferred until the property develops,
subdivides, or is connected to the system.
B. Roadway, Curb and Gutter, and Sidewalk Projects:No deferment will be made for these
assessments unless they front unimproved property.
C. Unimproved Property: The City may, at its discretion, defer the first installment of any
assessment upon unimproved property until some designated future year until the
property is platted or until improvements are constructed on the property. In these cases,
if deferral is made, then the entire assessment for the property is deferred. The minimum
assessment for which deferral can be considered is $500, and the minimum size of the
parcel for which deferral can be considered is a buildable lot in the respective district.
Interest may accrue on the deferred amount.

Comprehensive Plan.
(1) Requires an evaluation of benefits to traffic flow and access.
ii) Limited to areas with commercial or industrial economic development potential.
(1) Requires an analysis of likely business opportunities and job creation.
iii) Property lines or other factors make construction of planned infrastructure
improvements unlikely.

a) City involvement in designing, constructing, or financing new developer-driven roadway
and associated improvements is contingent on the following parameters:
i) Development of a financing plan that identifies total costs and matching revenue
sources that guarantees 100% cost recovery by the City.
ii) Special assessments for the improvement project will be levied to the subject property
if the following conditions are met:
(1) The assessment amount does not exceed 50% of the current property value.
(2) The owner concurs that the increase in fair market value of the subject property
will be equal to the total cost of the improvement project, and that such increase
in fair market value is a special benefit to the subject property.
(3) The owner concurs that the amount of the assessment against the subject property
is reasonable, fair and equitable.
Page 1
(4) The owner represents and warrants that the subject property is not so classified for
tax purposes as to result in deferral of the obligation to pay special assessments;
and the owner agrees that it will take no action to secure such tax status for the
subject property during the term of the assessment.
(5) The City obtains mortgage consents from all lenders and/or lien holders to ensure
that payment of the assessments takes first position in the event of default.
iii) Special assessments for the improvement project will be levied to the subject property
in the following manner:
(1) Special assessments shall be payable over a maximum term of five (5) years and
