G.4 Approve Cooperative Agreement for Minnesota Technology Corridor
Since 2018, the City of Hugo has been participating in a collaborative economic development
group for development along the I-35E corridor. Six communities along with Washington
County and Anoka County have worked on marketing the area known as the Minnesota
Technology Corridor. Staff has provided updates from time to time on the work of the group.
The group has met on multiple occasions to develop a unified strategy for land use, utilities, and
transportation, and to identify the best design for the corridor factoring each jurisdiction’s goals.
This could include hiring a consultant to work on the jurisdictions’ behalf to create a unified
plan. There is a memo in the packet outlining the goals of the group and details of the agreement.
At its November 18, 2025, meeting the EDA heard a presentation from Chris Eng, Washington
County Economic Development Director, and Gregory Frahm-Gilles, Anoka County Economic
Development Director. They provided background and discussed the agreement. The EDA
agreed that the continued partnership in planning the corridor is important and recommended
approval of the agreement to the City Council. Staff recommends the City Council approve the
agreement and direct staff to execute the document.
H.1 Public Hearing on the 2026 City Budget and Tax Levy
State statutes require the City Council to hold a public hearing on the proposed city budget and
tax levy for the 2026 fiscal year. Finance Director Anna Wobse will present the budget and tax
levy to the Council prior to taking public comment. At the conclusion of the public hearing staff
recommends adoption of a resolution approving the General Fund Budget for the 2026 Fiscal
Year and a resolution approving the Final Tax Levy Payable in 2026.

Approve Resolution Supporting City of Lino Lakes Grant Application for Local Road
Improvement Program Funds
The City of Lino Lakes had requested a resolution supporting their application for funds from the
Minnesota State Transportation Fund through their Local Road Improvement Program. The City
of Lino Lakes is proposing to construct the extension of Otter Lake Road between CSAH14 and
Elmcrest Avenue. This project was identified in the City of Hugo’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan
and Washington County’s 2040 Transportation Plan. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved
RESOLUTION 2025-40 SUPPORTING A LOCAL ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
GRANT APPLICATION.
Approve Snowmobile Trail Applications for Hugo Snowmobile Club and Rice Creek Trail
Association
The Hugo Knight Riders Snowmobile Club and the Rice Creek Trail Association submitted their
respective Snowmobile Trail Applications for the 2025–2026 snow season. According to the
applications, snowmobile trails in Hugo will remain unchanged from the previous year. Mayor
Weidt removed the item from the Consent Agenda to allow comments from members of the
Hugo Knight Riders Snowmobile Club, who were present in the audience.
John Udstuen, 15190 Everton Avenue North, and Nick Forchette, 16210 Harrow Avenue North,
both members of the Hugo Knight Riders Snowmobile Club, addressed the Council. Udstuen
announced his resignation as Club President after 33 years of service. Forchette has assumed the
newly created Trail Coordinator position, which will focus on trail safety.
Udstuen discussed the Club’s equipment used for trail maintenance and noted his continued
involvement in organizing community events to engage both snowmobilers and non-
snowmobilers. Planned activities include vintage snowmobile shows at the Blacksmith Lounge
and Sal’s Angus Grill, as well as a collaborative snowmobile race with the Hugo American
Legion on Egg Lake.
Forchette talked about his interest in advancing electronic mapping of the trail system, working
with the Parks Commission, and preserving the City’s snowmobile heritage. The Club’s goal
remains to maintain safe trails with zero complaints.
Tom congratulated him on his 33 years.
Weidt made motion, Krull seconded, to approve the Snowmobile Trail Applications for the Hugo
Knight Riders Snowmobile Club and the Rice Creek Trail Association.
All Ayes. Motion carried.

Approve Resolutions Approving Feasibility Study and Set Public Hearing for 2026 Bald
Eagle Industrial Park Area Street Improvement Project
City Engineer Mark Erichson presented the results of the feasibility study for the 2026 Street
Improvement Project in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park area, which includes 130th Street North
from Europa Trail to Forest Boulevard North / Trunk Highway 61 (TH 61), Farnham Avenue
North from the south terminus to 130th Street North, Fenway Boulevard North from 130th Street
North to 140th Street North, and 140th Street from Fenway Boulevard North to Forest Boulevard
/ TH 61. This area was identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2026.
Erichson reviewed photos of existing conditions and outlined proposed improvements, which
include partial reconstructions and trail enhancements. Street improvement would consist of
full-depth pavement removal, paving, mill and overlay improvements, spot curb and gutter
replacement, new street lighting, and minor utility upgrades. The City will be entering into new
contract on the street lighting to place fixtures at strategic locations rather than continuously
along the roadway. A new trail is planned along the north side of 130th Street. The trail along
Fenway Boulevard will be replaced if Washington County provides funding, as the County is
responsible for that segment. Washington County will also replace the existing concrete sidewalk
on 140th Street with an extension of the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail. The project will also
include reconstruction of the trail along Europa Trail.
The project scope also included improvements at Water Tower Park, involving demolition of an
abandoned communications building and removal of outdated watermain infrastructure. Erichson
noted that 130th Street will be widened to 28 feet in response to safety concerns raised by
residents and operational needs identified by the Public Works Department.
Erichson reviewed the public hearing process and the City’s Assessment Policy, which was last
updated in 2013 and has not kept pace with rising construction costs. Residential parcels on
streets scheduled for partial reconstruction will be assessed $4,100 per unit, and those receiving
urban roadway overlays will be assessed $2,100 per unit. Commercial and industrial parcels will
be assessed $76.87 per foot for partial reconstructions and $39.87 per foot for overlays. The total
estimated project cost is $4,690,400, with assessments covering 22.03%, the City funding
68.07%, and Washington County contributing 9.90%. Mr. Erichson noted a proposed deviation
from the assessment policy for internal streets, whose properties would be assessed when those
internal segments are improved in the future. He stated he would review the assessment policy in
more detail with residents at the public hearing.
Erichson also reviewed anticipated construction impacts, including full street closures on several
routes and one-way traffic on Fenway Boulevard from 140th Street to 130th Street to maintain
business access. Project details have been communicated to businesses and residents. If the
Council accepts the feasibility report and sets the public hearing for December 15, bids would be
opened and a contract awarded in May, with construction scheduled for completion in fall 2026.
Petryk asked whether 130th Street would be fully closed during the project. Erichson confirmed
it would be to allow for reconstruction and widening. Council Member Petryk expressed concern
about cut-through traffic, and Erichson indicated staff will monitor and address traffic concerns
during construction.

Approve Resolution Appealing Metropolitan Council System Statement
At its November 3, 2025, meeting, Community Development Director Rachel Juba provided the
Council with an update on the Metropolitan Council System Statement. She explained that a
system statement was prepared every ten years for each community in the seven-county
metropolitan area within the Metropolitan Council’s jurisdiction and served as the starting point
for the 2050 Comprehensive Plan cycle. She outlined several items that staff believed were
incorrect in the system statement, including forecasts for population, households, and
employment, and sewer allocation. She noted that she had anticipated the Council might need to
formally appeal and request a hearing before the State Office of Administrative Hearings.
Juba informed the Council that the City had 60 days to review the System Statement and had
been unable to resolve the discrepancies with Metropolitan Council staff during that period. She
emphasized the importance of the System Statement, explaining that these growth forecasts must
be used in preparation of the City’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan. The forecasts indicated a 20%
decrease, following a substantial decrease in the last Comprehensive Plan cycle. The City is
expected to exceed its 2030 forecast before the 2050 Comprehensive Plan is submitted.
Metropolitan Council staff have stated that the lower forecasts are due to the White Bear Lake
lawsuit; however, Juba noted that this rationale does not make sense because water supply is not
a Metropolitan Council system, the Metropolitan Council is not a party to the lawsuit, and the
DNR regulates water supply for Hugo. The cap on growth would require the City to apply for
and obtain approval of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment each time the
forecasts are exceeded. She also noted that the Metropolitan Council previously committed to
providing sewer service for a population of 40,000 in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
The forecasted 2050 population was listed as 23,500. Juba presented data demonstrating
projected growth consistent with the 2040 projections, showing a population of approximately
35,000 in 2050. She stated that staff will continue working to resolve the discrepancies with the
Metropolitan Council and will request a new system statement. She recommended approval of
the resolution appealing the Metropolitan Council’s system statement for the City of Hugo and
requesting a hearing. The hearing would be held within 60 days or on another mutually agreed-
upon date. A new system statement may be issued within 60 days following the hearing.
Petryk asked whether any other city had a similar growth cap. Juba responded that some other
communities impacted by the White Bear Lake lawsuit have been held or capped for growth,
though other cities have increased forecasts.
Miron asked whether there had been any policy-based decision or calculation used to determine
the numbers for each community. Juba responded that there had not.
Council Meeting Minutes for November 3, 2025
Page 5 of 5
Weidt noted that the City’s annual growth of 212 residents over the past few years was being
reduced to approximately 110 in the forecast. He asked what recourse the City would have if the
projections were not adjusted. Juba stated that it is unclear whether any additional steps are
available beyond the appeal hearing, which is the established process for modifying the system
statement.
Miron asked City Attorney Dave Snyder if the City would have an opportunity to appeal further
should the administrative law judge not provide a satisfactory resolution. Dave responded that
the City must request the hearing within the required timeframe.
Petryk asked whether the cap would restrict commercial growth. Juba explained that it would
restrict employment population growth.
Miron made motion, Strub seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2025-42 APPEALING THE
ACTIONS OF THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL, REQUESTING THAT A HEARING BE
CONDUCTED BY THE STATE OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS FOR THE
PURPOSE OF AMENDMENTS TO THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL’S SYSTEM
STATEMENT.

Subject: Swearing in at council
________________________________________________________________________________________
At its October 6, 2025 meeting the Hugo City Council approved the promotion of Bob Bieniek to Lieutenant with
a start date of October 1, 2025. Bob has been with the fire department since December of 2008 and has served
as a Lieutenant from September 2011 until being promoted to Captain in February of 2014 and serving as
Captain until December of 2021. Bob then stepped down to firefighter until he was promoted again to Lieutenant
in October 2025.
At the City Council meeting on December 1, 2025, I would also like to include a formal swearing-in ceremony
and include a badge pinning by a person of Bob’s choice that would make this a special event for him. A lot of
hard work, time, and dedication goes into a promotion, and this will help celebrate that accomplishment.
Please place this recommendation on the December 1, 2025, City Council agenda for Council consideration.

Subject: Tony DeLaRosa Probation Completion, Swearing-in, and Badge Pinning Ceremony
________________________________________________________________________________________
On December 5, 2023, Tony DeLaRosa was hired as a Probationary Firefighter with the Fire Department. Tony
has successfully completed all the requirements to be promoted to Firefighter. This is a lengthy and very
involved probationary period requiring several college level classes, certification testing, internal Fire
Department training, and competency testing of our equipment and operations.
I am recommending Tony DeLaRosa be promoted to the rank of Firefighter effective December 1, 2025.
At the December 1, 2025, City Council meeting I would also like to include a formal swearing-in ceremony and
include a badge pinning by a person of Tony’s choice that would make this a special event for him. A lot of hard
work, time, and dedication goes into completing probation and this will help celebrate that accomplishment.
Please place this recommendation on the December 1, 2025, City Council agenda for Council consideration.

FROM: Gregory Frahm-Gilles, Anoka County Economic Development Director
DATE: October 31, 2025
RE: Minnesota Technology Corridor – Elmcrest / 24th Ave / Hornsby St Corridor Study
BACKGROUND
The Minnesota Technology Corridor is a collaborative economic development initiative for
development areas in the I-35E and I-35W corridors. First initiated in 2018, this collaboration
between the cities of Blaine, Centerville, Columbus, Forest Lake, Hugo, and Lino Lakes, along with
Washington County CDA, Anoka County Economic Development and Connexus Energy, creates a
unique corridor spanning more than 1500 acres of future development potential. Regional assets
include proximity and visibility from the I-35 corridor, fiber-optic backbone and two electric
transmission lines. All partners believe that a regional strategy will yield higher quality development
compared to each entity operating independently or a completely hands-off approach.
The core development area of the Minnesota Technology Corridor is along the eastern side of I-35E,
straddling both sides of Elmcrest Ave/24th Ave/Hornsby St. This road stretches from Cty Hwy 14/Cty
Hwy 8 on the south side and proceeds 6.5 miles north to State Hwy 97. Currently, most of this road
is unimproved and not suited for business use. The road centerline also serves as a jurisdictional
boundary between six of the governmental entities.
CHALLENGE
With the jurisdictional boundary being in the middle of the road, the Elmcrest Ave/24th Ave/Hornsby
St. corridor impacts six different governmental entities. They are:
- Cities of Columbus, Forest Lake, Hugo and Lino Lakes
- Counties of Anoka and Washington
Long-range planning documents between these six entities has created mis-matched standards on
what should ultimately be constructed. This confusion will hinder projects, and a lack of a unified
plan will prevent our future ability to apply for outside grants.
OPPORTUNITY
Staff representatives from the six entities have met on multiple occasions and reaffirmed that this is
an important economic development initiative for all parties. While there are many questions about
future aspects, it was agreed that this step of the process should remain in the sphere of economic
development visioning and those finer details for implementation are more appropriate for future
discussions.
The plan identified is to create a corridor study for Elmcrest Ave/24th Ave/Hornsby St., to be
completed by an outside professional engineering firm to ensure impartiality and accountability for
the work product. This plan will identify the best design for the corridor, factoring in each city’s
unique Comprehensive Plans, land-use goals and growth ambitions.
Identified Steps:
1. Staff discussions to identify broad need
2. Cooperation Agreement between jurisdictions (WE ARE HERE)
3. Committee formed to create scope of services for a 3rd party corridor study, create RFP, go
out for RFP, evaluate responses, funding formula recommendations and firm selection.
-----------------------NO FUNDS EXPENDED UP TO THIS POINT-----------------------
4. Funding request
5. Professional services contract executed
6. Plan creation
7. Plan completion and presentations
8. Plan adoption by each jurisdiction
Adoption of a unified plan has the following goals:
Create clear vision and confidence for all parties on how this corridor will develop in the
future
Allow for better collaboration and coordination between the different jurisdictions once future
infrastructure projects are proposed.
The unified plan will allow for the pursuit of regional, state and federal grants to support future
roadway engineering and construction.
Provide confidence to private developers that the municipalities have an executable plan,
encouraging them to pursue development opportunities in the area.
Signal to other necessary development partners, such as gas, electric and fiber providers,
that the municipalities see the MN Tech Corridor as an important asset and encourage them
to also execute planning efforts to prepare for development opportunities.
REQUEST
For your consideration is a Cooperation Agreement between the six entities. This merely creates a
structure for the six entities to effectively collaborate, work through the details of how to move this
effort forward and go out for RFP. Approval of this Cooperation Agreement will not incur additional
costs beyond staff time.
A future funding request is likely, once more information is gathered. At that time, we will come back
with a more detailed plan, cost estimates, timeline for deliverables and specific outcomes for your
consideration. This Cooperation Agreement merely creates the foundation that allows a team of
different staff to create that more detailed effort and go out for RFP.

TO: Honorable Mayor Tom Weidt and Members of the City Council
FROM: Anna Wobse, Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2026 Final Budget and Tax Levy
DATE: For the City Council Meeting of December 1, 2025
DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt Resolution Approving the General Fund Budget for the 2026 Fiscal Year
Adopt Resolution Approving the Final Tax Levy Payable in 2026
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.
On September 15, 2025, the City Council adopted a preliminary 2026 tax levy of $13,567,000 which would provide for
no increase in the current urban tax rate. Washington County has determined that based on their estimate of tax
capacity the urban tax rate will be 39.130% of tax capacity and the rural tax rate will be 35.499% 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 2026.
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.
