On December 6, 2021, Council approved the hiring of Allysa Nadeau, Darek Albertson, and
Steve Albertson as probationary firefighters. All three have completed the necessary
requirements to complete their probation. Staff recommends Council approve Allysa, Darek,
and Steve as regular firefighters and direct Fire Chief Jim Compton, Jr. to perform the swearing

F.3 Presentation of Certificates to Burger Night Sponsors and Award to Sponsor of the
Year - Brigadier General Dan Gabrielli

G. 1 Approval of Claims
Staff recommends Council approve the Claims Roster as presented.
G.2 Approve Hiring of Tony Delarosa and Kyle Anderson as Probationary Firefighters
The Hugo Fire Department Hiring Committee has completed the latest round of its hiring process
that started in the spring of 2023. Tony Delarosa and Kyle Anderson have successfully
completed all phases of the hiring process and are recommend as probationary fighters. Staff
recommends Council approve the hiring of Delarosa and Anderson as probationary firefighters
with a start date of Tuesday, December 5, 2023.
G.3 Approve Donation from the Hugo American Legion to the Hugo Fire Department
The Hugo American Legion is requesting to donate $1,000 to the Hugo Fire Department from
pull-tab proceeds for equipment and training. All donations to the Fire Department need to be
approved by the Council. Staff recommends Council approve the donation of $1,000 to the
Hugo Fire Department.
G.4 Approve Donation from the Hugo Firefighters Relief Association to the Hugo Fire
Department
The Hugo Firefighters Relief Association has requested to donate two Rapid Intervention Team
(RIT) air packs to the Hugo Fire Department from proceeds raised during their annual golf
tournament fundraiser held in June, 2023. All donations to the Fire Department must be
approved by the Council. Staff recommends Council approve the donation of RIT packs valued
at $15,566.10 to the Hugo Fire Department.
G.5 Approve Language Update to the Hugo Firefighter’s Relief Association Bylaws
After reviewing the current and historical bylaws of the Hugo Firefighter’s Relief Association
the Office of the State Auditor had requested that the Relief Association update their bylaws to
specify the deferred interest credit method. The Relief Association voted to update the language
in their bylaws to specify that the deferred interest credit method would be based on full calendar
years and Council ratified this language update at the July 10, 2023 City Council Meeting. Since
this initial language update there has been ongoing discussions with the Office of the State
Auditor and it was determined that this update would cause the Association to have two different
methods of interest calculations for deferred members. In order to keep the majority of deferred
members on the same interest rate calculation method, the Relief Association has voted to update
the language in their bylaws to specify that the deferred interest calculation will be based on full
calendar months and has formally requested City Council ratification of this language
update. Staff recommends the City Council ratify the language update to the Hugo Firefighter’s
Relief Association Bylaws specifying that the deferred interest credit method will now be based
on full calendar months.
G.6 Approve Letter of Support to MN DEED for Comcast Broadband Grant Application
At the March 6, 2023, meeting, Council approved a letter supporting a Minnesota Broadband
Grant Application by Comcast to provide high-speed broadband services to underserved homes
in Hugo. Comcast was successful in securing the grant, and construction will take place in
Spring, 2024. Another round of grants has become available, and Comcast is looking to provide
service to some of the last remaining gaps in Washington County. This includes about 38
eligible residents in the southern portion of Hugo. Comcast is requesting a letter of support from
the City. Staff recommends Council approve the letter of support to the Minnesota Department
of Employment and Economic Development for Comcast’s Border-to-Boarder grant applicatin.
G.7 Approve Resolution Approving Refuse Haulers Licenses for 2024
The City has received applications from six refuse haulers who provide refuse collection and
recycling services to Hugo businesses and residents. Licenses will be issued to these haulers
upon receipt of completed application, $165 annual licensing fee and proof of insurance. City
staff recommends Council approve the resolution issuing 2024 Refuse Haulers Licenses.
G.8 Approve Resolution Approving Liquor and Tobacco Licenses for 2024
Staff has received the appropriate applications for renewals of liquor and tobacco licenses for
2024. City staff recommends Council approve the resolution approving the annual renewal of
the 2024 Liquor and Tobacco Licenses subject to payment of all fees, taxes and utilities, and
receipt of certificates of Liquor Liability Insurance.
H.1 Public Hearing on the 2024 City Budget and Tax Levy

Public Hearing on 125th Street and Dellwood Ridge Neighborhood Street Improvement
Project
On July 10, 2023, City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for 2024 125th
Street and Dellwood Ridge Neighborhood Street Improvement Project. City Council accepted
the competed study at the October 16, 2023, City Council meeting and called for a Public
Hearing to be held on November 20, 2023.
Council Meeting Minutes for November 20, 2023
Page 4 of 8
City Engineer Mark Erichson identified the project location which consisted of 125th Street and
streets within the Dellwood Ridge neighborhood. The project would entail roadway reclamation
and paving of 125th Street and a complete roadway reconstruction and storm water improvements
in the Dellwood Ridge Neighborhood He explained this project was identified in the City’s
Capital Improvement Plan. The plan was reviewed every three years, and there had been
significant changes to the CIP due to last year’s freeze/thaw cycle that damaged many roadways.
Erichson showed pictures of existing conditions and provided details on the proposed
improvements. The streets in Dellwood Ridge would have the pavement removed, subgrade
corrections as needed, installation of concrete curb and gutter, and reconstruction of the storm
sewer and stormwater management. 125th Street improvements would include recycling existing
pavement, minor grading corrections, and stormwater and drainage improvements.
He explained the assessment process as governed by MN Statute Chapter 429, and he
highlighted the two required public hearings-the one this evening and the assessment hearing in
the fall. Assessments were typically spread out over ten years, and the interest rate would be
determined around the time of the assessment hearing. An option for deferral would be available
for senior citizens or disabled, though interest would continue to accrue. Written objections
needed to be presented in writing, and notice of an assessment appeal would need to be filed
within 30 days of assessment adoption.
Erichson provided project costs and information on the City’s assessment policy. The total
project was estimated at $3,931,412. The assessment policy was last updated in 2013. According
to that policy, property owners on streets receiving a complete reconstruction would be charged
$5,200/unit. Those on streets receiving a roadway reclamation would be charged $3,400/unit.
He explained the provision for a half assessment for corner lots and those with two frontages.
Parcels that could be subdivided would be assessed accordingly, and Erichson stated that staff
has had conversations with those land owners. Erichson said the City was only collecting 6.6%
of the project costs via assessments, and he noted the City has been paying larger portions of
road projects because costs have escalated over the years.
Erichson provided the proposed schedule for the project and an update on concerns heard at the
neighborhood meeting that was held on September 27, 2023. If the Council authorized the
preparation of plans and specifications this evening, another open house to present the plans
would be held in January, 2024. Construction would take place in Summer, 2024, and the
assessment hearing would be held in October. Staff would be evaluating speeds to address
neighborhood concerns. He talked about the current roadway in Dellwood Ridge being wider
than the typical street standard. The cost of keeping the road at that width would be an
additional $70,000.
Mayor Weidt opened the public hearing
Jody Lessard, 7426 125th Street North, said she had two properties. The property at 7124 was 80
acres. She said she had met with Erichson and Senior Engineering Technician Liz Finnegan and
they proposed possibly four units to be assessed. She said she didn’t understand since the
property was zoned agricultural and was rural vacant land, and if subdivided, parcels would be
landlocked. Community Development Director Rachel Juba explained that it was zoned
residential but not classified on the tax statement as residential. Juba explained that eight units
could be fit on the property with the construction of a road, however, the City was proposing to
Council Meeting Minutes for November 20, 2023
Page 5 of 8
assess only four. She invited Jody to meet with staff to go over the map of her parcel. Jody said
she would like to meet, and she said she appreciated that the Council was looking at the speed
issue.
Eric Johnson, 12115 Heather Avenue North questioned the increase of $70,000 to maintain the
entire width of the Heather as is. He asked if that was a low percentage of the project cost and if
there would be discussions about keeping the current width. Erichson replied that the current
width was unusually wide in a rural setting. He said wider roadways promote faster speeds, and
Public Works had interest in it being the standard 28 feet wide due to snow drifting and issues
with removing snow and storage of snow. The two feet on each side would be restored to grass.
Erichson said if there was concern, more conversations could be had with residents. Eric asked
if they could look at another urban roadway to compare the width, and Erichson replied he could
meet with him and show him.
John Hartman, 12215 Upper Heather Avenue North, said he seconded the concern about the
narrowing of the road. He said a lot of people walk on that road since there is no other place to
walk without the speeding traffic. He had concerns on drainage and was worried that it would
drain into to his driveway. He also commented on the width of the road saying kids are at play,
and he wondered how it was determined a narrower road reduced speed. Erichson replied that
there would be additional storm sewer inlets identified on the preliminary design to correct
drainage. He talked about studies that were done with traffic calming techniques and said he
could provide documentation.
Paul Donna, 12350 Upper Heather Avenue North, said he was in favor of the project and it was
long overdue. He said he had concerns and questions regarding the narrowing of the road and
hoped the decision could be postponed until that was figured out.
Aaron Zellmer, 12465 Upper Heather Avenue North, also had concerns about narrowing the road
saying they were in more of a rural residential setting, and cars parked on the side of the road
that create blind spots for the kids to be. Tractors also go through the neighborhood when they
are baling hay. He asked if it was going to be a rolling curb or at a 90-degree angle. Erichson
replied they typically put in more of a vertical curb rather than a rolling curb if they know where
the driveways are, and he asked Aaron if he had a concern or preference. Aaron replied that with
the larger lots, people have lawn tractors and four wheelers they use to maintain their property,
and a 90-degree curb would be harder to get over. Erichson said he would review it with the
Public Works staff, and if Council was inclined to have another neighborhood meeting to discuss
road widths, the curb could be discussed as well.
Brett Buelke, 12460 Heather Avenue North, said he had phone conversations with Erichson, and
he appreciated that. He asked what the current width of the road was. Erichson replied it was 32
feet, and the plan was to take it two feet in on both sides. Brett said it was nice to have that extra
width to walk. He said they get a lot of walkers from 125th Street, and was nice to have a few
extra feet for walking, biking, and at dark. He would like to see the width stay the same as it was
currently.
There were no other comments, and the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Miron noted that most comments were about road widths. He said road projects in other sections
of the City were looked at with a sidewalk or pedestrian walkway, and he wondered if that was
Council Meeting Minutes for November 20, 2023
Page 6 of 8
evaluated as part of this process. Erichson replied there didn’t seem to be an interest in
sidewalks, and it was not real cost effective in large and treed areas. He said sidewalks often
involve tree removal and it often feels like it is encroaching on the home. He said often
retrofitting was challenging because you don’t have consensus of the neighborhood.
Weidt asked Erichson how he thought this should be handled moving forward. Erichson replied
that he would be happy to engage with the Heather Avenue community. He said Public Works
was the driving force behind the desire to have the road narrowed, and they could be present at
the meeting.
City Administrator Bryan Bear suggested the neighborhood open house in January include
further discussion on road width and pedestrian options. Erichson replied that the plans would be
close to completion, and he would like to set up another meeting with those residents in that
portion of the project prior to that.
Klein agreed it would be worth the time sit down with residents since they are the ones that live
there.
Miron said he understood from Erichson there was a preference by Public Works to narrow the
road, but without Public Works input, it was hard for everyone to understand. He said it would
be good to have them part of the conservation to weigh all factors when making a decision on the
roadway.
Strub said more communication is better. They were getting good feedback and should address
what they can.
Klein made motion, Strub seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2023-41 ORDERING THE
PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
FOR THE 2024 125th STREET AND DELLWOOD RIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
Weidt added there would be an additional discussion on road width and the final design of the
project.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Discussion on PFAS
City Administrator Bryan Bear explained the City had received documents concerning a Class
Action Lawsuit with 3M, Dupont, and others related to a settlement concerning PFAS in public
drinking water supplies. These notices were received by hundreds of water utilities across the
country and it required the City to take some action concerning its participation. City Attorney
Dave Snyder had reviewed this item and was ready to make a recommendation to the Council.
Snyder explained this was a large class action lawsuit that has been consolidated in South
Carolina to handle the issue of PFAS contamination in municipal water supplies. Most
municipal water suppliers were included in the contemplated settlement. There was an option to
opt-out of the settlement with deadlines of December 4 and December 11 for 3M and DuPont
respectively. Snyder said he felt that the City would be best served to remain in this class action
Council Meeting Minutes for November 20, 2023
Page 7 of 8
lawsuit and not opt out. If the City did opt out, it would be obliged to wait and see what comes
in addressing the claims and damages and potentially bringing litigation that was not necessarily
feasible or inexpensive in solving the claims on this issue. Opting out could potentially bring
litigation at a different time. His recommendation was to remain in, and in order to accomplish
that, the City would need to provide information on wells that would be sorted out through future
years as they are put through a maze of tests and inquires. If the City retained a law firm to
handle the matter on behalf of the City, those efforts would be managed by the firm. The firm
would be retained on a contingent fee basis. This would be a no or low-cost approach to keep a
foot in the door relative to settlement money. He said his best recommendation would be to
remain involved and not opt out, and authorize the City Attorney to appoint special council for
that purpose.
Strub asked about the testing of PFAS. Bear replied that the Health Department tests municipal
water supplies, and there was some discussion on the methodology of the tests. There are
thousands of PFAS chemicals that could be tested for. The ones of concern in the lawsuit have
been tested for in Hugo and were not present in the water. A theory was that all water supplies
may end up with certain levels of these chemicals in them, but it was unknown what the
thresholds were or would be. If the City’s threshold was above those numbers, the City would
be required to treat the water to remove those chemicals, which could be quite expensive. He
believed there may be trace amounts of these chemicals but did not believe the primary ones in
this lawsuit would be found in the City’s water.
Strub asked about private wells. Snyder responded this lawsuit was for municipal wells. For
those that have private wells, there were some treatment options, but most of those well were in
the southeast metro, and the state was making some monies available through their settlements.
Weidt said he appreciated the memo and agreed the City should remain a participant in the
lawsuit. He agreed with the City Attorney’s recommendation to retain special council.
Klein made motion, Miron seconded, to continue with the litigation going forward and allow
Attorney Dave Snyder to put a special council together.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Schedule White Bear Lake Hearing for Monday, December 11, 2023
City Administrator Bryan Bear informed Council the City of Hugo was scheduled to testify at
the evidentiary hearing on the White Bear Lake Lawsuit on Monday, December 11, 2023, at 9:30
a.m. at the Office of Administrative Hearings in the Stassen Building. Bear suggested they arrive

hearing.

Miron asked about virtual option. Bear indicated he would keep them informed if one was
available.

TO: Fire Chief Jim Compton Jr
FROM: Dave Jensen, President
DATE: November 21, 2023
SUBJECT: Donation of equipment
Chief Compton,
This year the Hugo Firefighter’s Relief Association held its first ever golf tournament
fundraiser. This tournament was a great success! We raised over $16,000 for the relief
association. At our June 27th 2023 the general membership approved the purchase of 2
RIT packs for the ladder truck and engine.
The relief association felt it was important to purchase this equipment for the fire
department as the department lacked the proper RIT packs for our new SCBA and the
RIT packs were not funded as part of the 2018 AFG grant awarded to the City of Hugo.
Please accept this donation of equipment from the relief association.
Sincerely,
Dave Jensen, President

TO: Honorable Mayor Tom Weidt and Members of the City Council
FROM: Anna Wobse, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Firefighter’s Relief Association Bylaws Language Update
DATE: For the City Council Meeting of December 4, 2023
DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION
Motion to ratify a language update to the Hugo Firefighter’s Relief Association Bylaws to specify the deferred interest
credit method.
BACKGROUND
After reviewing the current and historical bylaws of the Hugo Firefighter’s Relief Association the Office of the State
Auditor noted that the deferred interest credit method was not specified in the bylaws and had requested that the
Relief Association update their bylaws to specify the deferred interest credit method. Historically, deferred interest had
been based on full calendar years and the Relief Association had voted on June 27, 2023 to update the language in their
bylaws to specify the full calendar year method and City Council ratified this language update on July 10, 2023.
Since the initial language update there has been ongoing discussions with the Office of the State Auditor and it was
determined that the updated language would mean that the Relief Association would now have two different interest
calculations for deferred members. Minnesota State Statutes were revised in 2013 and those revisions mandated that
if a deferred interest credit method was not specified in an associations bylaws that it would default to the interest
credit method being based on full calendar months. Members that are on the deferred list from January 1, 2013
through June 26, 2023, when the bylaw language was updated to reflect full calendar years, would by default have their
pension interest calculated on the full calendar month basis.
The discrepancy in the Associations bylaws was first highlighted by the Office of the State Auditor last year and because
of the time between the updated statutes and notification from the Office of the State Auditor that the bylaws did not
meet their requirements, the Relief Association asked for leniency in honoring the historically reported yearly interest
calculation method. The Office of the State Auditor is unwilling to work with the Relief Association on honoring what
their intentions have always been and in order to have the majority of deferred members on the same interest
calculation method, the Relief Association has voted to now update the language in their bylaws to specify that
deferred interest will be calculated on full calendar months. There will be three deferred members who retired before
2013 that will remain at the full calendar year interest calculation method, the other ten deferred members and all
future deferred members will have their interested calculated at the full calendar month method.
The Relief Association is asking that the City Council ratify this new language update.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending the City Council approve a motion to ratify the language update to the Hugo Firefighter’s Relief
Association Bylaws specifying that the deferred interest credit method will now be based on full calendar months.

Dear Executive Director Maki:
At its meeting on December 4, 2023, the Hugo City Council approved this letter of support for a
Minnesota Broadband Grant Application by Comcast to provide high-speed broadband service in the City
of Hugo. Comcast is committed to the expansion of high-performance broadband offerings to the areas of
the City of Hugo that do not have access to the internet, and we hereby support Comcast’s application to
make another significant investment to build its broadband network to the eligible areas of the City.
Affordability of high-speed broadband service is a priority for the City of Hugo. The Internet Essentials
program provided by Comcast, and its participation in the Affordable Connectivity Program,
demonstrates the Company’s commitment to ensuring that everyone is connected regardless of income.
Comcast’s Internet Essentials program ensures that cost does not shut out any of our residents to the
benefits of high-speed broadband, whether it be for distance learning, remote working, telehealth, a
connection to services, and so much more.
In addition to affordable internet options, Comcast will offer the same robust suite of services that it
offers to nearby communities at the same prices. That means providing the residents of the City more
speed offerings at a competitive price and a network that provides increased capabilities. Comcast’s
comprehensive connectivity experience means their customers are connected to a powerful network built
to deliver internet at home that is both reliable and secure. Now, more than ever, staying connected to a
high quality, reliable network that includes an affordability internet option, is vitally important to our
community.
For these reasons, the City of Hugo recommends Comcast’s application for funding to deploy a future-
proof network that will increase the broadband service speed offerings for currently underserved residents
and offer affordable, high-speed broadband services for all.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Bryan J. Bear
City Administrator

SUBJECT: 2024 Final Budget and Tax Levy
DATE: For the City Council Meeting of December 4, 2023
DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt Resolution Approving the General Fund Budget for the 2024 Fiscal Year
Adopt Resolution Approving the Final Tax Levy Payable in 2024
COMMENTS
The City Council has a long history of following the flat tax rate policy and keeping a flat urban tax rate. The flat tax rate
policy means that tax collections increase when property values increase and tax collections decrease when property
values decrease. For Pay 2023 it was the consensus of the City Council to deviate from the policy and allow for a
decrease in the urban tax rate because of the larger than normal property value increase that was seen.
On September 18, 2023, the City Council adopted a preliminary 2024 tax levy of $12,318,875 which would provide for
no increase in the current lower urban tax rate. Washington County has determined that based on their estimate of tax
capacity the urban tax rate will remain at 36.371% of tax capacity and the rural tax rate will be 33.023% of tax capacity.
Attached for City Council consideration are two resolutions that approve the general fund budget and approve the final
tax levy payable in 2024.
Staff feels that the final budget document accurately reflects the true cost of operations and meets the goals put forth
by the City Council concerning spending and taxation levels. As such, staff recommends adoption of these resolutions.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The preparation of the budget document on a timely basis could not have been accomplished without the efficient
services of the department heads. I want to express my appreciation to the City Administrator, Mayor, and Members of
the City Council for their interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the city.
