2023 Goals Summary
City Administrator Bryan Bear reviewed some of the 2023 Goals saying there were three big
topics: Public Works reorganization and hiring of new staff, hiring of new Fire Chief, and White
Bear Lake water issues. An administrative law judge will likely rule at the end of April, and
pending the outcome, there could be appeals and the need for the City to make some decisions
depending on the action.
Presentation of 2024 Draft Goals
Bear provided a draft of 2024 goals prepared by staff with the input of all commissions. Some
attention will be focused on infrastructure and rating City streets in the spring, which may result
in changes in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. There also had been a lot of talk in the past
year about 165th Street. The Parks Commission’s main focus would be on trails and addressing
the community’s desire for more trail connections. A rating system for trails will also be done.
Another focus of staff will be better engagement with parks programing. A local affordable
housing aid state program will provide direct funding, and the City will need to create a program
to spend the money. The new Cannabis law will require new zoning rules, and there will likely
be a workshop on that. Cannabis will legally be sold by January 2025. A workshop will need to
be held on urban and rural tax rates, and there was also a need to talk about updating the City’s
fiscal policies. City facilities also need to be evaluated. Bear said there were no substantial
improvements on the radar right now, but there was a need to plan ahead and identify funding.
There were questions on the Bernin property and where the City was in the planning process.
Bear replied that construction plans were being created, and the City will be applying for an
outdoor recreation grant from the DNR. Improvements may be made in 2025. A lot of the work
could be done by the Public Works staff, and some funding may come from the Park CIP.
The was a discussion on whether any technology and building upgrades were anticipated. Bear
talked about touch pads that were added for door access and security cameras that were now in
place. Utilities are managed with SCADA software, and the City gets those updates. The Public
Works Mechanic was working on a parts inventory and management system. Scanning of
Planning and Building Department documents still needed to be done. Community Development
Director Rachel Juba added that most documents were now coming in electronically. The
upgraded website would be ready by the end of March. Mayor Weidt said he wanted the music

playing on the cable station changed. Bear talked about the City Hall building saying it currently
served the City’s needs, so there was no compelling need to spend money. The carpets were
recently cleaned, and their condition will need to be reevaluated.
There was some discussion on housing prices. Bear said valuation notices should be received in
the next few months, and it was expected things would remain pretty flat.
There was a question on the wetland banking project, and Bear explained it was still moving
forward, but those projects take a while to complete.
Fire Chief Compton was in attendance and said several firefighters were working from the fire
station, which makes them available for daytime fire calls. Some updates to the facility may be
necessary in the future.
Bear talked about the new deputy added to the Sheriff’s Department and encouraged Council to
schedule a ride-along with any of the deputies. There was a question about the Citizens Academy
that the Mayor once attended, and Bear said staff will check into whether the County was still
doing that.
Bear talked about an upcoming transportation forum and the County’s request for participation.
City Engineer Mark Erichson and Community Development Rachel Juba had attended an
information session on it, and Juba explained the County was creating a long-range
transportation plan that would fall between the County’s Comprehensive Plan and their CIP.
They were looking for cities from the district to be part of the planning. She said she could
provide talking points if there was anyone from the Council that wanted to go. Members from
City staff planned to attend.
There was no further discussion, and Council directed staff to place the goals on the next Council
meeting agenda for approval as drafted.

North Star Property and Wetland Bank Plans (above)
City Seeks Approval of First Wetland Bank
The approval process for the North Star Wetland Bank started in 2022 with vegetation and hydrology monitoring. The
project includes restoring wetlands and improving vegetation on properties located west of North Star Elementary School
that are owned by ISD 624 and the City.
Draft Prospectus Comments Received
At the Council meeting of February 6, 2023, the Council approved a proposal from WSB
to prepare the draft prospectus, which is a conceptual project plan to be reviewed by
the approving organizations (TEP) for preliminary feedback. The Council inquired about
White Bear Lake School District support. Staff presented the project to the school
board on February 25 and received informal support. The TEP provided input on the
draft prospectus and asked for additional monitoring. A scope from WSB for monitoring
work in 2023 was approved by the Council May 15.
Prospectus Modeling Started
A scope totaling $55,026 from WSB was approved on June 12 which included a topo-
graphic survey, CAD plans, hydro analysis, a level 2 wetland delineation, and project
management. The prospectus application is likely to be reviewed in early 2024.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PARKS, RECREATION, AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION 2023
Glacial Hills Regional Trail Master Planning
Washington County anticipated master planning the Glacial Hills Regional Trail in
2023-2024. The Glacial Hills Regional Trail has been identified along the CR 4
corridor in County and City plans. The Master Plan process includes gathering
extensive public input on the trail. Hugo is a part of the Technical Advisory Com-
mittee.
A community meeting was held on November 15 to gather public input on poten-
tial trail routes. The meeting was well attended and the equestrian community
was well represented. Hugo property owners were not directly notified or well
represented. Engagement has also included an online survey that received a
significant amount of comments.
Next steps will include evaluating the potential corridors, and selecting the pre-
ferred route. It will also include planning access points and amenities, which will
be achieved with additional public input.
Bernin Park Master Planning
At the end of 2022, the City purchased property at 15320 Greene Avenue from the
Bernin family. The family also ended their lease with the City for the 24 acres
which had been occupied by Bruce and Ginny Bernin. When the City purchased
the property in 2005, the Bernins continued to be stewards of the property and
anticipated it becoming a passive park in the future.
Council approved a proposal from WSB to update the graphics of the 2004 Master
Plan on March 20.
On June 27, a neighborhood meeting was held which was well attended. The
neighborhood was familiar with the property and the legacy of the Bernins. Minor
changes in trail location were discussed. General questions about activities
allowed at a passive park were addressed. The master plan was approved by the
Parks Commission on August 16 and the Council on August 21. At these meet-
ings, a proposal for construction documents was also approved which are being
drafted.
Bald Eagle
Property
The City of Hugo owns property off of
Everton Avenue and 121st Street. It
provides walking access to Bald Ea-
gle Lake. On site parking is not pos-
sible due to the limited size and slope
of the property. The hillside eroded
and the City receives complaints from
neighborhood property owners who
wish to walk down to the lake.
In 2018, a partnership with Rice
Creek Watershed District was pur-
sued to improve the surface and pre-
vent erosion, but RCWD did not see a
water quality benefit and did not wish
to partner. The property has contin-
ued to degrade since then.
This fall, the Public Works graded the
property and placed gravel on the
surface. The improved access has
been well received by the neighbor-
hood.

Award of
Excellence
At the Council meeting of
August 6, the City was
presented with an Award
of Excellence by the Min-
nesota Recreation and
Parks Association for
Lions Volunteer Park and
the Peder Pedersen
Pavilion.
Trail on CR 8
Constructed
At the August 16 meeting,
the Commission ap-
proved reimbursing the
developer of Rice Lake
Reserve for constructing
a new trail on CR 8. The
extension connects the
new residential develop-
ment with Hanifl Fields
Athletic Park with an off-
road 8’ wide paved trail.
New Trail on CR 8 to Hanifl Fields Athletic Park
Facility Rental Program
In 2023, the City launched online room rentals. With the opening of the Peder
Pedersen Pavilion, additional spaces were now available for the community to
rent and an improved process was needed. CivicRec was selected as a program
to provide online room scheduling. The policy and fees were also updated.
Policy changes included requiring a deposit and insurance with rentals that plan to
have alcohol. A no-show policy was added. Non-profit requirements were clari-
fied and non-profits are allowed to use the Rice Lake Centre for free. In general,
priority is given to residents through larger booking windows and significantly
cheaper rental fees.
In 2023, the Pedersen Pavilion saw 500+ rentals and brought in about $15,000
between January and June. This is approximately twice the revenue and number
of rentals than the Rice Lake Centre, Oneka Room and Hanifl Shelter combined.
Online rentals, as a city service, have been well received by customers with over
half of bookings being made online without staff assistance. There continue to be
technological upgrades and policy revisions to fine-tune the process for the public
and make it easier for them to use Hugo’s community buildings.
The exterior of the Hanifl Shelter was painted and stained. Before (left) After (right)

Kidz ‘N Biz
Staff served on the planning team assisting the Hugo Business As-
sociation in hosting Kidz ‘N Biz on September 30, from 9:00 am to
12:00pm at Oneka Elementary. The Hugo EDA provided a $1,000

On December 6, the Hugo holiday tree was lit by Mayor Tom Weidt
and Peder Pedersen in Lions Volunteer Park. Santa visited between
5:00 pm and 7:00pm and attendees were treated to gift bags, cocoa
from the Hugo Lions, and carols from Children’s Performing Arts.
Donations were collected for the Hugo Good Neighbors Food Shelf.
Over 100 kids participated. This was the third annual Santa Party
and the second at the Peder Pedersen Pavilion.

We have not yet received the updated construction plans addressing our previous comments.
Once received, staff will verify comments have been addressed and easement dimensions on the
final plats are appropriate. Based on the review of the documents previously submitted, we offer
the following Engineering comments related to this application:
General/Access

2. Access will occur from Goodview Avenue and two existing stub streets located off of 135th
Street in Birch Tree Ponds development.
3. The applicant has provided ROW along Goodview Avenue and trail easement to
accommodate a future trail along the west side of Goodview Avenue, consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. The applicant will be responsible to place in escrow, money to cover future costs of trail and
conversion of one-half of Goodview Avenue to an urban section, along the length of their

5. A sidewalk will be added to the south side of the east/west roadway in the 2nd Addition to
provide access to the trail network in the development and future trail along Goodview
Avenue.
6. The 8-ft trail will be required to connect to Arcand Park. Prior to the issuance of the

Utility Plan
9. Watermain is proposed to be extended south from the Birch Tree Ponds development from
existing stubs extending from 135th Street. Watermain will be installed to the street limits but
is not proposed to be extended further.
10. Sanitary sewer is proposed to be extended south from the Birch Tree Ponds development
from existing stubs extending south from 135th Street. Both current stubs are 10” pipe but will
be reduced to 8’ throughout the development and are not proposed to be extended beyond
the current development limits. Adjacent areas are served from different sewer service
districts.
Stormwater Management
11. The site is proposing water quality requirements primarily through water reuse for onsite
irrigation. The remaining water quality required will be provided by an infiltration basin and the
stormwater ponds onsite. Additional information on the irrigation design needs to be
confirmed to determine the amount of water quality treatment the water reuse can provide.
12. The site is meeting rate control requirements with the onsite ponds and infiltration basin.
13. While there is not regulated FEMA floodplain on the site, there is RCWD regulated floodplain
present. The RCWD regulated floodplain elevation for this area is 929.82. Updated
compensatory storage calculations are required to confirm floodplain requirements are being
met for the site. Floodplain requirements are expected to be able to be met onsite, additional
documentation is just needed to confirm.
Wetlands
14. An amended Notice of Decision has been issued as there have been minor changes in
proposed wetland impacts from what was in the original Goodview Estates project, resulting in

CITY OF HUGO
PARKS COMMISSION REPORT
TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
FROM: Shayla Denaway, Parks Planner
SUBJECT: MN DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant Application
DATE: February 1, 2024 for the City Council meeting of February 5, 2024
1: INTRODUCTION:
Staff is recommending approval of a resolution in support of application to the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources Outdoor Recreation Grant Program. Grant funding
would be used to construct park amenities at Bernin Park adjacent to Oneka Lake.
2: PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The City of Hugo received a MN DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant to purchase property
located at 6540 Greene Avenue North from Bruce and Ginny Bernin in 2002. The
property continued to be leased back to the Bernins for their use until September 2022.
In November 2022, the Bernin Estate sold to the City of Hugo an additional .52 acre lot
located at 15230 Greene Avenue North.
In 2023, the park was master planned with the intention of constructing passive park
amenities and making the property available for public use. A neighborhood meeting
was held on June 27, 2023. Minimal changes to the draft plan were requested by the
residents and there was support from the Bernin family. The master plan was approved
by the Council on August 21, 2023.
The master plan includes construction of a parking lot off Greene Avenue North, a
combination of paved and gravel trails, signs, benches, and a fishing pier. Trails would
connect to Oneka Lake Park (an active park) and trails in the Shores of Oneka Lake.
Access to and views of Oneka Lake will be provided to residents.
WSB was authorized at the August 21, 2023 City Council meeting to draft construction
plans for the park. The plans are currently being drafted and are anticipated to be
complete in the next month.
3: GRANT REQUIREMENTS:
The MN DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant Program assists local governments in acquiring
parkland or developing or redeveloping outdoor recreation facilities. The grant
reimburses up to 50% of the project costs. The maximum grant awarded is $350,000 for
a total maximum project cost of $700,000. The proposed Bernin Park improvements are
estimated to cost $700,000 to $1,000,000. The required 50% match and additional
construction costs would come out of the Special Park Fund.
Proposed projects must have public participation in the design. The park must remail
available to all persons without discrimination and facilities constructed must meet
Americans with Disabilities standards. A deed restriction is also required to ensure its
public use in perpetuity.
Application Requirements include:
• Application Summary
• Project Narrative
• SCORP Project Breakdown
• Cost Breakdown
• Project Site Evaluation: IPAC Report, SHPO Date request, Environmental
Screening Form
• Public Participation
• Availability
• Statement of Accessibility
• Applicant Resolution
• Maps and Plans
4: PROPOSED TIMELINE:
The city may submit a draft application for informal staff review by February 29, 2024.
The final application is due April 1, 2024. Staff intends to submit the pre-application for
informal review. Notifications of award are sent in the summer. Construction may start
in late 2024 but is likely to start in 2025. All work must be completed by June 30, 2026.

Dear Ms. Taphorn,
At its meeting on Monday, February 5, 2024, the Hugo City Council voted to approve this letter of
support for Hammer & NER on its application for 2024-2024 CDBG funding. Hammer & NER has two
group homes located in Hugo. The funding would be used towards improvements to the buildings
including flooring work in the bedrooms and living room spaces of both homes, and the installation of
a medication station in each home to make the process of medication distribution smoother for staff
and people supported.
The funding would provide Hammer & NER the additional resources they need to further their efforts
to improve the quality of life for people in the community and their caregivers. Please contact Rachel
Juba at (651) 762-6300 or rjuba@ci.hugo.mn.us if you have any questions about the property.
Sincerely,
Tom Weidt
Mayor
