G.2 Approve Jeff Maas as New Public Works Utility Lead Worker The City Council, at their July 7, 2025, meeting, gave authorization to hold interviews and select an internal candidate to fill the position of Utility Lead Worker for the Public Works Department. Staff is recommending the promotion of Jeff Maas to the position of Public Works Utility Lead Worker. This position would be pay grade 6 (non-exempt) and Jeff would begin at the maximum step of the salary matrix. Jeff has been a valuable member of the Public Works Department since 2006. He is very capable and has many years of experience with an emphasis on municipal utility infrastructure G.3 Approve Advertisement for Vacant Public Works Worker Position With the recent resignation of a Public Works employee, there is one open position in the Public Works Department.

Staff is recommending the City Council approve the resolution approving a minor subdivision for property located at 8991 130th Street North. G.6 Approve Ordinance Amending the Fence Ordinance Section 90-227 of City Code outlines requirements for fences and requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for placing a fence within a drainage and utility easement. Staff has been requiring that residents constructing a fence within an easement request an Encroachment Agreement from the City Council instead of a CUP, whether or not the easement has any public improvements, which lengthens the approval process for a fence. Staff is proposing amendments that are intended to streamline the process for approving fences. At its meeting on July 10, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the request. No one spoke during the public hearing. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the ordinance amendments to the City Council.

Legislation over the past 11 years, and specifically during COVID, has amended the law on remote meeting attendance. In addition, a new law enacted during the 2025 Legislative Session has made changes to the Open Meeting Law and eliminated the “open and assessable” location rule for remote meeting attendees. Staff reviewed the City’s policy on remote attendance and is recommending Council consider revisions to comply with State Statute.

Presentation of 2024 Audit Report – Smith Schafer & Associates Jill Schultz from the independent accounting firm of Smith Schafer & Associates was in attendance to present a recap of the audit of City finances for the 2024 fiscal year. She began by explaining that the audit determined that the City’s finances are accurate as presented. The State Auditor establishes the areas that are required to be tested. The audit found nothing in noncompliance and there were no exceptions noted during the audit. Jill reviewed governmental funds saying property tax revenue made up the largest part of governmental fund revenues. Intergovernmental revenue was lower than the previous year, Council Meeting Minutes for July 7, 2025 Page 2 of 9 primarily due to the receipt of ARPA funds the prior year. Investment income improved in 2024 due to favorable market conditions. General government expenses increased by 8%, mainly due to higher contract engineering and other professional service fees. This category has shown a steady upward trend each year. Public safety expenses rose by 11%, attributed to an increase in the Washington County Sheriff contract and having a full-time fire chief for the entire year. Highways and streets expenses increased by 5%, primarily from enhanced maintenance activities, including siren repairs, street lighting, and concrete work. Park maintenance expenses decreased by 8%, mainly due to reduced personnel costs. Jill displayed a pie chart illustrating that the majority of expenses were for public safety and general government functions. The distribution remained similar to previous years. Jill explained the purpose and benefit of general fund reserves and referenced the 2008 tornado as an example of why maintaining strong reserves is important for timely response to emergencies. The City’s reserve balance was approximately 69% of total expenditures. The State Auditor recommends a reserve level of 35–50%; Hugo's reserve is about 50% of the next year’s budget. The five-year debt service showed a slight decrease. Capital project activity dropped in 2024. Significant projects were done in 2021 and 2022, particularly the Public Works facility and Lions Park. Jill talked about Enterprise Funds, which included water, sewer, and related construction fees saying they fluctuate from year to year, and the revenue increase was fairly the same as last year. Jill concluded by saying the City was issued an unmodified audit opinion with no Minnesota legal compliance exceptions. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report was posted on the City’s website and available in the Finance Directors office. Summary financials will also be published in the city’s official newspaper Weidt made motion¸ Petryk seconded, to accept the findings of the audit. All Ayes. Motion carried.

Council Meeting Minutes for July 7, 2025 Page 7 of 9 Highway 61 Construction Update Washington County, in partnership with the City of Hugo and MNDOT, are making improvements to TH 61 between Egg Lake Road and Frenchman Road. Construction is scheduled to begin on July 7, 2025, with TH 61 remaining open to traffic except for a two-week period. TH 61 between Egg Lake Road and Frenchman Road will be closed for a two-week period that is currently scheduled to start July 28th. The detour is extensive and shown on the Washington County Construction Newsletter. City Engineer Mark Erichson explained the improvements would include lengthening turn lanes. Replacing a large culvert, making pedestrian improvements. The City has entered into a cooperative agreement with the State for the City’s portion of some of the signal improvements. The widening and shoulder replacement on west side of TH61 will necessitate a full closure. Some of the work was being done that week and traffic will be shifting lanes next week. The week of July 28 will be the most disruptive part of the project with the closure of TH61 from Egg Lake Road to Frenchman Road which will help shorten the project time. Mark talked about the significant detour that will take traffic to the freeway. The road will be open to business and residents, but no through traffic will be allowed. Fire Chief Jim Compton and Washington County Sergeant Matt Wieland have been involved in the discussions on lane closures. The sheriff’s office will be present during the first few days to see that things go smoothly. It is realized people will find other routes, and there will be some cut-through traffic. The detour will be posted in advance of the July 28 closure. Business and residents have been notified. There is information on the project website and people can sign up to receive project notifications. They are also coordinating with mapping applications as well. As per City Code, City construction hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, with no work on Sunday or holidays. Mark explained the contractor was requesting an extension of the working hours on Saturdays during the road closure. Specifically, they are requesting that working hours be extended to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays to limit the duration of the closure. Miron made motion, Strub seconded, to grant the contractor’s request to extend construction hours per suggestion of the staff. All Ayes. Motion carried.

DATE: July 11, 2025 for the City Council Meeting of July 21, 2025 ZONING: Rural Residential (RR) LAND USE: Large Lot Residential (LL) REVIEW DEADLINE: August 3, 2025 1. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING UPDATE: At its meeting of Thursday, July 10, 2025 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the request. No one spoke during the public hearing. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the minor subdivision to the City Council. 2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a minor subdivision to create two lots out of a 39.75 acre lot. The lots created would be two parcels that are 29.75 and 10 acres in size. 3. CONTEXT: A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning The surrounding properties to the west, east, and south are zoned Rural Residential and are occupied by agricultural uses and single-family homes. The property to the north is zoned Agricultural and occupied by a farm and single-family home. B. Natural Characteristics of Site The property is has some rolling terrain that gradually slopes towards a small portion of Long Lake that lies in the southeast corner of the property. There are some wetlands in the southern portion of the property. Guthrie Minor Subdivision 4. ANALYSIS: A. Level of City Discretion in Decision-Making The City has limited discretion in approving or denying a minor subdivision application. The City’s discretion is limited to whether or not the proposed subdivision meets the standards outlined in the Comprehensive Land Use Regulations. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the subdivision. B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards Minor Subdivision Request Lot Size The Agricultural zoning district requires a minimum lot size of 10 acres with a 300-foot minimum width and a minimum depth of 480 feet. The two proposed lots will meet these requirements. Utilities The property is currently outside of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), which means the property is not eligible to receive City sewer and water. Services are not currently available to the site or planned for the site in the future. Any parcel proposed to be future home sites and would need a new well and septic system. The applicant has submitted a soil test indicating that there is sufficient space on the new parcel s that is suitable for a septic system on both proposed parcels. The locations have been approved by Washington County. Grading and Wetlands A grading plan will have to be submitted to the City prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed lot. The applicant shall demonstrate the building sites will comply with the City’s regulations regarding building elevation related to groundwater. A permit will need to be obtained from the City for the location of the new driveway. Prior to the issuance of any building permit the applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed home and buildings will not impact any wetlands. Stormwater management Prior to the issuance of any building permits the applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed parcels meet the Rice Creek Watershed District Rules regarding stormwater management and erosion control. Guthrie Minor Subdivision Streets The proposed parcels have access to 130th Street North, an existing County State-Aid Highway. At the time of application for a building permit, the applicant shall apply for a driveway permit as well as obtain necessary access permits from Washington County. Sidewalks/Trails There is a proposed trail in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan along 130th Street North. Prior to the issuance of any building permit, the applicant will need to demonstrate that the proposed trail will not be impacted. Park Dedication and Open Space A park dedication is required of all land subdivided for residential purposes. The applicant will not be dedicating parkland with this project, and would therefore be responsible for the parkland dedication fee, currently set at $3,400 per lot. The applicant is only responsible to pay for the creation of one lot. 5. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is of the opinion that the requested minor subdivision meets the City Code requirements and guidelines outlined in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommended approval the minor subdivision, subject to the conditions listed in the resolution, to the Planning Commission. 6. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve the minor subdivision request, subject to the conditions in the resolution.

On May 29, 2025, representatives from the Department conducted observations on Parcel 3503121120001 and verified the soil and site conditions. Based on the findings submitted by designer Josh Putt, each proposed parcel appears to have 10,000 ft2 of suitable soil for wastewater treatment. It should be noted that the soil testing conducted for this lot was preliminary and only for the purpose of determining suitability of this lot to support long -term sewage treatment. Section 9.5 of the Washington County Development Code, Chapter Four, Individual Sewage Treatment System Regulations (Washington County Ordinance #206) states: Complete soil testing on each individual lot must be conducted prior to permit issuance independent of any prior subdivision or lot approval testing. For permit issuance, a minimum of four (4) soil observations encompassing the proposed sewage treatment ar ea are required. At least one soil observation must be performed in the portion of the soil treatment area anticipated to have the most limiting conditions. Larger areas may be required where conditions of use, soils, topography, or vegetation require. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at 651 -430-6695. Sincerely, Marlee Dietrich Environmental Specialist Memorandum To: Bryan Bear, City Administrator From: Max Gort, Associate Planner Date: July 11, 2025 for the City Council meeting of July 21, 2025 Re: Ordinance Amendment, Fences 1. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING UPDATE At its meeting of Thursday, July 10, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the request. No one spoke during the public hearing. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed amendments to the fence ordinance. 2. BACKGROUND: Section 90-227 of City Code outlines requirements for fences, and requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for placing a fence within a drainage and utility easement. New residential developments in the City of Hugo are required to dedicate easements for drainage and utility purposes around the perimeter of single-family lots. Some of these easements have public improvements, such as underground utilities, or provide access to a public outlot for maintenance purposes. When a resident is constructing a fence on their property line, they are almost always going to be locating the fence within the easement. Staff has been requiring that residents constructing a fence within an easement request an Encroachment Agreement from the City Council instead of a CUP, whether or not the easement has any public improvements. The Encroachment Agreement request lengthens the approval process for a fence, and the proposed amendments are intended to streamline the process for residents. The purpose of requiring the Encroachment Agreement is to allow for the city to access an easement and remove the fence if necessary. In most cases, where there are no public improvements located in an easement or an easement isn’t providing access to a public improvement, there will not likely be a need to remove the fence. However, in the cases where an easement is used for public improvements, the city has an interest in dictating the fence’s location with respect to the improvements and requiring that the resident request an Encroachment Agreement to be approved administratively by the Public Works department. In addition to items relating to placing fences within easements, staff identified a number of items within the ordinance that should be updated to better reflect administrative practices. The ordinance states that fences require a permit issued by the city building official, but the cit y has not been requiring or issuing fence permits. The ordinance also has a table that outlines setback and height requirements for fences that could be simplified, including removing requirements for zoning districts that no longer exist. G.X 2 At its meeting of June 2, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to work with the City Attorney on drafting amendments to the fence ordinance. Staff has determined that the goals of the Encroachment Agreement process could be met by requiring them only wh en a public improvement is present within the easement. Staff has drafted text amendments that include the following: • A statement that any fence placed within an easement may be removed in the event that work needs to be performed within the easement. • A requirement that any fence placed within an easement where public improvements are located, or access to public improvements is located, must receive administrative approval from the Public Works department, and be recorded at the county. • Removal of the requirement that a fence receives a permit from the city building official. • Simplifying the height and setback requirements table to better reflect current zoning districts. 3. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed text amendments to the City Council. 4. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed amendments to the fence ordinance. Attachments: 1. Redlined ordinance section with text amendments. 2. Draft ordinance text amendments. Created: 2025-05-22 16:40:52 [EST] (Supp. No. 36) Page 1 of 3 Sec. 90-227. Fences.
