BACKGROUND MEMO FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2024
D.1 August 29, 2024, Midyear Budget Workshop
D.2 September 3, 2024, Council Meeting
D.3 September 10, 2024, Hugo Area Business Association Breakfast
Staff recommends Council approve the above minutes as presented.
F.1 Good Neighbor Days Recap – Lions Member Carrie Schwieger
The Hugo Lions Club held Good Neighbor Days on June 7-9, 2024, for the first time at the new
Lions Park and Pede Pedersen Pavilion. The Hugo Lions Club would like to provide Council a
recap of the event.
G. 1 Approval of Claims
Staff recommends Council approve the Claims Roster as presented.
G.2 Approve Resolution Approving Preliminary Tax Levy for 2025
At its August 29, 2024, Midyear Budget Workshop, the City Council listened to a presentation
from Finance Director Anna Wobse highlighting revenues and expenditures to-date as well as
projections for the 2025 fiscal year. City Engineer Mark Erichson also presented to the Council
an updated 5 Year Street Capital Improvement Plan and discussion was had about future
unfunded infrastructure projects. It was the consensus of the Council that the 2025 preliminary
levy revert back to following the flat tax rate policy in order to provide additional funds for
future infrastructure projects. The total proposed 2025 property tax levy of $12,847,855 will
move the urban tax rate to 39.190% of tax capacity. Staff believes this levy is sufficient to fund
the operating and capital budgets in 2025 and meets the objectives of the City Council to begin
funding future infrastructure projects and recommends the City Council approve the Resolution
Approving the Preliminary Tax Levy Payable in 2025.
G.3 Approve Pay Request No. 4 Dresel Contracting for 125th Street and Dellwood Ridge
Streets Improvement Project
Dresel Contracting, Inc. has submitted Pay Request No. 4 in the amount of $219,282.52 for work
certified through August 30, 2024, on the 2024 125th Street/Dellwood Ridge Neighborhood
Improvement Project. The first layer of asphalt has been placed along Heather and Upper
Heather Avenues and restoration work has begun. City staff has inspected the work and
recommends Council approve the payment to Dresel Contracting, Inc. in the amount of
$219,282.52.
G.4 Approve Resolution Creating a New Special Revenue Fund
The City of Hugo has received miscellaneous revenues from the State of Minnesota in the form
of Public Safety Aid and Local Affordable Housing Aid. These funds need to be accounted for
separately from other already established funds for tracking and reporting purposes. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s
(GASB) Statement Number 54 provide special revenue funds to account for and report the
proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted for specified purposes. Staff recommends
that Council approve the Resolution Creating a New Special Revenue Fund to Account for
Miscellaneous Revenues Received from the State of Minnesota. The new special revenue fund
will be created and named the State Revenue Fund to track and report on miscellaneous revenues
received from the State of Minnesota that need to be accounted for separately.
J.1 Approve Preparation of Feasibility Study for 2025 Road Projects
City Engineer Mark Erichson will review with Council proposed capital improvement projects.
Staff recommends Council approved the resolutions authorizing staff to prepare a feasibility
study for the 2025 Beaver Ponds Area Street Improvement Project and the 2025 Duck Pass,
Palmes Long Lake Estates, and Ingersoll Avenue Neighborhood Improvement Project
M.1 Reminder – Joint Workshop with Planning Commission on Thursday, September 19,

September 19, 2024, to discuss the solar ordinance related to solar farms and residential zoning
text amendments
M.2 100th Year Birthday Celebration for WWII Navy Veteran Jerry Saunders on

The Council has been invited to attend the 100th birthday party for Jerry Saunders on Saturday,

City Council-Midyear Budget Review
Hugo City Hall
Thursday, August 29, 2024
6:00 p.m.
Mayor Weidt called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
PRESENT: Klein, Miron, Petryk, Strub, Weidt
ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: City Administrator Bryan Bear, Finance Director Anna Wobse, Fire Chief
Jim Compton, Public Works Director Scott Anderson, Community Development Intern Phoebe
Brown, City Clerk Michele Lindau
Finance Director Anna Wobse began by saying the City had not yet received the tax breakdown
from Washington County, so numbers may be slightly different from what will be reported on
the preliminary levy. Current numbers estimated a 2% decrease in the market value, and
changes to the Homestead Market Value Exclusion Program increased the maximum exclusion
amount, reducing taxable market values by $34,650,000 from last year. Council had been on a
flat tax policy but has deviated the past two years because of higher property values. Staff
prepared the budget using the same tax rate as last year.
Wobse recommended to continue using the contingency budgeting technique for expenditures.
Without unforeseen events, there would be a general fund surplus for the street CIP or equipment
purchases. The $200,000 earmarked in previous years for flat tax rate stabilization would not be
in the 2025 budget. Keeping the 2024 tax rate, the total levy for 2025 could not exceed
$11,997,855. This would be a 2.6% decrease from the 2024 levy.
Anna explained there were three outstanding bond issues the City totaling $15,145,000 or $889
per capita, which was under the statewide average of $1,936 per capita. The non-general fund tax
levies totaled $1,859,964. A contribution of $500,000 was added to the Street CIP last year but
would not be added this year. There was a need to figure out how to fund trails, which would
require further discussion. The Equipment Levy was set at $300,000, Stormwater Levy at
$278,788, and the Parks Improvement Levy will remain at $92,000 unless otherwise directed,
The Firefighter’s Relief Levy was set at $29,176.
General fund operations made up the largest part of the levy. There were 26 regular full-time
employees and three vacant positions. Staff had used the League of MN Cities online salary
survey to compare Hugo to 13 other cities of similar population, and found that, excluding the
City Administrator’s wage, Hugo averaged -2% below others. A salary adjustment was included
in the budget for a 3% cost of living and a 2% salary matrix increase resulting in a total increase
of $140,500 to the General Fund. Health insurance went up 13.4%, but there was no change in
deductibles. 2024 was the first year with the full-time fire chief. All remaining officer positions
in the Fire Department were funded for as well as the continued retention program. The City
received $703,253 in 2024 as a one-time public safety aid payment that needed to be used for
public safety. This was placed in a special fund to pay for a new deputy position for five years.
Estimating revenues conservatively at $956,116 resulted in a General Operating Levy at
Minutes for Midyear Budget Review on September 30, 2023
Page 2 of 3
$9,140.036. Totaling all levies, the proposed 2025 levy totaled $11,997,855. Anna talked about
fiscal disparities saying Hugo receives more back than it contributes, and the City’s proposed
distribution will increase 14.45% equaling $1,015,758
Anna talked about the tax impact of the proposed levy. The median valued homestead of
$389,400 after the market value exclusion would see a tax of $1,380 at the proposed 36.522%
rate. This would decrease the tax from 2024 by $116. Hugo’s tax rate had always fallen near the
middle in comparison to other cities in Washington County, but it was noted that some other
cities charged for other services. Hugo does not collect any additional fees. Residents would see
a decreased tax bill from Hugo, but other districts collected taxes, so overall taxes may increase.
City Engineer Mark Erichson provided information on the 2025 Street CIP. The CIP is
evaluated each year by working with the Public Works Department to determine what the
condition of the roadways are. The City was waiting for MnDOT to finish their rating on the
bridges to see if they qualified for funding. If needed, street projects would be rescheduled to
accommodate an upcoming bridge project if necessary. Mark shared costs associated with each
project saying some will be state aid eligible for reimbursement. He shared discussions had with
Lino Lakes regarding Elmcrest Avenue due to the expected increase in traffic when Otter Lake
Road in Lino Lakes is constructed, saying there may be cost sharing with Lino. There were also
concerns regarding 165th Street, partly due to the size of the project and lack of development to
help pay for it.
Council discussed the CIP and were concerned about unfunded road projects, two bridge repair
projects, and trail maintenance. No money was budgeted for Elmcrest Avenue or 165th Street,
and those roads were anticipated to be highly traveled with the construction of Otter Lake Road.
There were questions about the safety of the bridges, specifically Fable Hills Bridge. Erichson
responded that the structural integrity was there, it was getting very costly to maintain the
decking. Aging trail networks had not been identified for improvements, costs, or funding.
There was discussion about reverting back to following the flat tax pate policy and the 39.403%
tax rate. It was noted the budget as presented could fund the projects identified on the current
CIP until 2029, but they were rough estimates and did not include other anticipated projects.
Anna stated that by following policy, $800,000 could be added to the Street Fund.
Council members expressed desire to keep the proposed tax rate but were concerned the City
would be getting further behind. The normal rate would allow the City to address upcoming
unfunded needs and prevent a huge rate increase if they waited. Council members commented
on the need for safe, decent roads. The proposed budget would keep the City functioning as
usual, but the sacrifice would go to the street fund. There was discussion on amending the
assessment policy, which had been in place since 2013. Road projects had increased
significantly, and this was part of the equation to add stability to the fund in the future. It was
noted that the fund currently had a healthy balance, but at the end of five years, it will have
dropped way down. It was generally agreed a workshop was necessary to discuss strategies to
budget for it.
Minutes for Midyear Budget Review on September 30, 2023
Page 3 of 3
It was understood by Council they could set the preliminary tax rate higher and could back down
from it, but not increase it. The budget had been prepared at the lower tax rate, and if it was
going to return to the higher rate, it was agreed by Council there needed to be an explanation for
it. It was agreed to set the budget at the higher rate for approval at the next Council meeting,
hold the workshop and decide to continue to deviate from the flat tax rate policy or go back to
following the policy for the 2025 levy.
Discussion on Urban and Rural Tax Rates
City Administrator Bryan Bear introduced the new Community Development Intern Phoebe
Brown.
Phoebe explained that the MN Statute that allowed for Hugo to establish different rural and
urban service districts with different municipal tax rates. When the Village of Hugo and Oneka
Township consolidated in 1971, these two districts were created due to the separate services
received in each district. To be in the Rural District, three requirements needed to be met:
unplatted; not developed commercial, industrial, or urban residential; and not benefiting from
City services. One exception was, since 1987, the County moved any rural parcel that had been
platted into the Urban Service District.
Statute also allowed for establishment of a benefit ratio, which is the percentage of the tax
capacity rate, currently set at 90%. The Urban rate was 36.7% with 6,134 parcels. The Rural
rate was 33.06% and under 1,400 parcels. It was also noted that many parcels in the Rural
District were enrolled in the Green Acres and Rural Preservation Program, which provided
property tax relief for qualifying farmland.
Abolishing the two separate tax districts had been discussed in 1978 and in 1986 arguing they
both benefitted equally from general fund services. Rural residents argued they did not receive
the same services; it took longer for emergency services to reach them, and it would harm
agriculture, destroying the rural character. It was also argued that rural areas received services
such as dust control and ditching projects.
Options were discussed such as amending the policy to equalize the districts, change the benefit
ratio, or reclassify certain parcels. It was agreed a workshop should be held at a later date.
The meeting adjourned at 7:57 p.m.

Approve Renewal of Mining Permit for Mike Atkinson
The Mining Permit for Mike Atkinson on his property located on the south side of 147th Street
between Irish and Hyde Avenue expired on August 2, 2024. Atkinson had applied for a renewal
of the permit for another two years. For the past several years, the site has been used to stockpile
material, with no mining activity taking place. When the permit was renewed in 2012, the
Council allowed Mike Atkinson to move forward with the Mining Permit renewal process
without all the conditions being met until the time mining operations began again, due to the cost
of meeting those conditions. The requirements not being met were to biannually provide a
topographic map of the site, calculation of stockpiled material, amount of granular material left
on site to be mined, and a reclamation plan. Staff had found very minimal activity on the site to
require those conditions be met for the renewal of his permit. Adoption of the Consent Agenda

the condition that all requirements in the permit be met when mining activity begins again.

Declare Cost to be Assessed and Set Public Hearing for 2024 Street improvement Project
(125th Street and Dellwood Ridge)
On April 15, 2024, the City of Hugo awarded the Contract for 125th Street and Dellwood Ridge

Heather Avenue and Upper Heather Avenue were complete through the first lift of asphalt, and
restoration and seeding would be taking place the following day. On 125th Street, the
reclamation project had both layers of asphalt complete, and the crews were out that day doing
gravel shouldering. The total project cost was $2,877,000, and the amount to be assessed was
$258,500. Assessment rates were applied according to the City’s Assessment Policy. For the
complete reconstruction of Upper Heather Avenue and Heather Avenue, the assessment would

TO: Honorable Mayor Tom Weidt and Members of the City Council
FROM: Anna Wobse, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Preliminary Tax Levy Payable in 2025
DATE: For the City Council Meeting of September 16, 2024
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION
Motion to adopt Resolution Approving Preliminary Tax Levy Payable in 2025.
At the mid‐year budget workshop it was the consensus of the City Council that the 2025 preliminary tax
levy provide for additional funds to help fund currently unfunded future road, bridge, and trail
maintenance projects. Using preliminary tax capacity data provided by Washington County, the total
proposed 2025 property tax levy of $12,847,855 will move the urban tax rate to 39.190% of tax capacity.
The proposed tax levy is broken down into the following major categories:
Required Tax Levies – Debt Service
Improvement Bonds of 2011
Capital Improvement Plan Bonds of 2020
Tax Abatement Bonds of 2021
Total Debt Service Levy
$ 18,399
437,246
542,210
$997,855
Discretionary Tax Levies
General Operating Levy

Equipment Purchasing and Replacement
Stormwater Improvements

Firefighter’s Relief
Total Discretionary Tax Levies
Total Certified Tax Levy

$11,850,000
$12,847,855
2025 Proposed Tax Levy
Page 2
Debt Service Tax Levies
This levy is required under the terms of the 2011 Improvement Bond bondholder agreement and per the
terms of the official statements for the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan Bond and 2021 Tax Abatement
Bond. These taxes are used to make principal and interest payments on general obligation bonds issued
by the city. The total levy for debt service in 2025 is $997,855.
General Operating Levy
The levy for general operating purposes is $9,140,036. This levy is used, along with non‐property tax
revenues, to fund general government, public safety, public works, and other city operations. This levy is
needed to balance the general fund with no structural deficit (i.e. transfers from other funds).
The proposed tax levy provides for a salary matrix adjustment, a cost‐of‐living adjustment, step increases,
and health insurance premium coverage for eligible employees for the 2025 calendar year.
Street Capital Improvement Program Levy
First instituted in 2006, this levy is used to defray a portion of the city’s share of street reconstruction
projects. The proposed levy for 2025 is $2,010,000, which is a $350,000 increase over the 2024 levy of
$1,660,000. This would be an $850,000 increase over the historical Street CIP levy of $1,160,000.
Additional dollars are being proposed to help fund currently unfunded future road, bridge, and trail
maintenance projects related to Hugo’s aging infrastructure. These funds will allow us to continue
improving our network of streets and trails without the need to issue additional debt.
Equipment Purchasing Levy
This levy is needed to replace big ticket equipment items in the Public Safety and Public Works
Departments that have exceeded their useful life. These items include plow trucks, pickup trucks, dump
trucks, and firefighting vehicles. New equipment prices are ever increasing and in order to be able to fund
future Public Safety and Public Works equipment the proposed levy for 2025 is $300,000.
Storm Water Improvement Levy
This levy is needed to fund water reuse projects and improvements to our drainage systems, including the
repair and/or replacement of catch basins. Eventually funds will be needed to maintain our system of
drainage ponds. This levy is in the amount of $278,788.
2025 Proposed Tax Levy
Page 3
Park Improvement Levy
First instituted in 2007, this levy is used to finance capital improvements to the city’s neighborhood park
system. The proposed neighborhood park improvement levy for 2025 is $92,000.
Fire Relief Levy
This levy is used to accumulate funds to meet the city’s future pension obligations for the Hugo
Firefighter’s Relief Association. Taxes are levied in an amount equal to the PERA employer percentage as
applied to total fire department wages and salaries. These funds are placed in a special revenue fund and
can only be used to make mandatory contributions to the pension fund. The levy for 2025 is $29,176.
Certified Property Tax Levy
The total amount of property taxes to be certified to the county for inclusion in the truth‐in‐taxation
notices amounts to $12,847,855.
Fiscal Disparities
Fiscal Disparities is a program designed by the state legislature to distribute a portion of growth in
commercial and industrial tax values to cities in the seven‐county metropolitan area. Historically, the City
of Hugo has been a “winner” in that we receive more value from the pool than we contribute.
Washington County has certified the payable 2025 amount of $1,015,758, an increase of $128,244 from
the previous year. This amount serves to lower the total property tax dollars paid by residents of the city.
Pay 2025
Proposed
Certified Property Tax Levy $ 12,847,855
Less: Fiscal Disparities $ (1,015,758)
Local Portion of Levy $ 11,832,097
Taxable Market Value and Tax Capacity
The county tax department has released a preliminary estimate of taxable market value and tax capacity
data for next year. The county estimates a decrease in the total tax capacity of 3%. These numbers will
most likely change when the county releases “final” numbers prior to the budget adoption meeting
scheduled for December 2, 2024.

Tax Rates
The total proposed 2025 property tax levy of $12,847,855 will move the urban tax rate to 39.190% of tax
capacity.
Based on estimated market and tax capacity values, the levy proposed herein will move the urban and
rural tax rate as follow:

Tax Capacity for Debt Service 3.000%
Total Urban Tax Rate 39.190%
Total Rural Tax Rate 35.571%
City Tax on Median Valued Homestead
According to the latest Washington County data, the median taxable value of a homestead property in Hugo
has decreased $20,550 to $389,400, a decrease of 5.01%. The tax on this homestead will decrease as
follows, largely due the to the changes in the Homestead Market Value Exclusion Program’s maximum
exclusion amount:
Pay 2025 Percent

City Tax on Median Value Homestead:
Median Taxable Value Prior to Exclusion $ 389,400 -5.01%
Market Value Exclusion $ (11,504)
Median Taxable Value After Exclusion $ 377,896 -7.74%
Tax Capacity $ 3,779
Net Tax $ 1,481 -1.00%
Dollar Change $ (15)
2025 Proposed Tax Levy

Maximum Tax Levy
The preliminary tax levy adopted by the Council on September 16, 2024 can be decreased (but not
increased) following the budget and tax levy public hearing in December. Thus, the preliminary levy
needs to be set at the maximum amount that the Council determines is appropriate.
Conclusion
The proposed tax levy provides for a balanced operating budget while meeting the Council’s objectives to
begin funding future unfunded road, bridge, and trail maintenance projects. The urban tax rate will move
to 39.190% of tax capacity, which will provide additional funds for currently unfunded infrastructure
projects.

Re: Authorization to Prepare a Feasibility Study for the 2025 Beaver Ponds Area Street
Improvement Project and the 2025 Duck Pass, Palmes Long Lake Estates, and Ingersoll
Avenue Neighborhood Improvement Project
Dear Mayor and Council,
Each year the City reviews and assesses priorities for upcoming capital improvement projects
throughout the City. Staff has reviewed recent road rating data that is currently being completed
in 2024 and have developed an updated 5-year Capital Improvements Plan that City Council had
reviewed as part of the August 29, 2024 work session. Attached is the draft map highlighting the
proposed capital improvements as well as the associated costs for years 2022-2026. We have
worked closely with Finance Director Wobse regarding long term financial planning. Another
Council work session is scheduled for this fall to further evaluate the full 5-year CIP and
associated funding needs.
Staff is recommending moving forward with the Capital Improvement Plan Project(s) identified for
2025 in the draft Capital Improvement Plan as the public improvement process is lengthy. Staff is
recommending that these projects be go through separate public improvement processes due to
differences in types of construction, and locations.
Staff is requesting authorization to prepare feasibility studies for both the 2025 Beaver Ponds
Area Street Improvement Project and the 2025 Duck Pass, Palmes Long Lake Estates and
Ingersoll Avenue Neighborhood Street Improvement Project. If authorized, staff will notify
residents of this effort and coordinate early informational meetings about the proposed project.
If you have any questions or items you wish to discuss, you can contact me at 612-360-1278.
Sincerely,
WSB & Associates, Inc.
