Staff recommends Council approve the Claims Roster as presented.
G.2 Approve Annual Performance Review for Senior Engineering Technician Liz
Finnegan
Liz Finnegan was hired on March 11, 2019, as the City’s Senior Engineering Technician. Public
Works Director Scott Anderson recommends Council approve the annual performance review
for Senior Engineering Technician Liz Finnegan.
G.3 Approve Annual Performance Review for Building Department Secretary Debi Close
Debi Close was hired as the City’s Building Department Receptionist on March 20, 2006.
Building Official Joel Hoistad recommends Council approve the annual performance review for
Building Department Receptionist Debi Close.
G.4 Approve Annual Performance Review for Public Works Worker Madison Siebenaler
Madison Siebenaler was hired starting February 18, 2025. Public Works Director Scott
Anderson recommends Council approve the annual performance review for Public Works
Worker Madison Siebenaler.
G.5 Approve Donation to the Hugo Fire Department from the Hugo American Legion
The Hugo American Legion has requested to donate $1,000 to the Hugo Fire Department from
pull-tab proceeds for equipment and training. All donations to the Fire Department must be
approved by the Council. Staff recommends Council approve the donation of $1,000 to the
Hugo Fire Department.
G.6 Approve Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit for Ducks Unlimited at the Hugo
American Legion on April 17, 2026
Ducks Unlimited Coon Rapids Chapter has applied for a Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit to
hold Bingo at their event on April 17, 2026, at the Hugo American Legion. The Permit is issued
by the Gambling Control Board after it is approved by the City. Staff recommends Council
approve the Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit for Ducks Unlimited American Legion Chapter.
G.7 Approve Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit for Ducks Unlimited at Sal’s Angus Grill
on April 19, 2026
Ducks Unlimited White Bear Lake Chapter has applied for a Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit to
hold Bingo at their event on April 19, 2026, al Sale’s Angus Grill. The Permit is issued by the
Gambling Control Board after it is approved by the City. Staff recommends Council approve the
Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit for Ducks Unlimited White Bear Lake Chapter.
G.8 Approve Water Surface Use Permit for Bald Eagle Water Club
Paul Chapin, President of the Bald Eagle Water Club, has applied for a Water Surface Use
Permit on behalf of the Club. The permit would allow for a slalom course to be installed at the
north end of Bald Eagle Lake. They also have a course at the southwest end of the lake and
would like to have one on the north end for times when winds prohibit the use of that course.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office issues the permit after it is approved by the City. Staff
recommends Council approve the Water Surface Use Permit for the Bald Eagle Waterski Club
G.9 Approve Ordinances Amending the Right of Way Ordinance and Related Fees
With the on-going expansion of fiber optics within the City of Hugo and the amount of staff time
required to manage the expansion projects, staff is recommending approving an amendment to
the Right of Way Ordinance and establishing related fees. Amendments to the Right of Way
Ordinance will provide more clarity and requirements to permittees to help facilitate successful
projects that will benefit both residents and staff. Revenue generated from fees will cover staff
time spent managing ROW permits and fiber optic project installations. Staff recommends the
City Council adopt the amended right of way ordinance and the amended fee schedule for 2026
as proposed and authorize the summary publication for the amended ordinances.
G.10 Approve Request for Proposals for Frog Hollow Playground Replacement
At the meeting of February 18, 2026, the Parks Commission recommended replacement of the
playground at Frog Hollow Park. Funding of $300,000 was included for the project in the Parks
Capital Improvement Plan. The current playground was installed in 2005 and has significant
surface wear and color fading. The existing playground curb and other park amenities are in
good shape and are not planned to be replaced. Minor landscaping improvements are anticipated
following the installation of new playground equipment. The Parks Commission intends to
request proposals from multiple playground designers and hold a neighborhood meeting to select
the preferred playground. The Parks Commission is recommending approval of the replacement
of the playground at Frog Hollow Park and request for proposals.
G.11 Approve Replacement of Water Truck Tank
In 2015, the City purchased a used water truck from Mountain Hi Truck in Walla Walla
Washington for gravel road maintenance. This winter staff discovered leaks in the water tank
from corrosion. Staff researched repair of the existing tank and found the cost to be prohibitive
vs the longevity of an old tank. Quotes were received to budget for a new water truck (chassis
and tank) both steel and stainless steel. Pricing came in at $350,000.00 to $375,000.00 and would
require renting water trucks for the interim. A third option would be ordering a new exact
replacement tank from the original manufacturer for the existing chassis. New tanks are now
sandblasted and epoxied on the interior for longevity. Being that the City’s Peterbilt chassis
alone has little resale value but is still in good condition, staff believes this is the best option for
cost and longevity for the City of Hugo. After discussion with the Finance Director, and given
the substantial cost of the replacement, staff recommends funding the purchase through the
Equipment CIP Fund to prevent depleting the Street Department General Fund budget. Staff
recommends the City Council approve the ordering and purchase of a new water tank from
Mountain High Truck & Equipment LLC for $28,000.00 with an additional cost of $15,000.00
for shipping, sandblasting and painting the exterior and new fenders for the chassis.
G.12 Approval of Sale of Surplus Public Works and Fire Department Equipment
Public Works and Fire Department staff are requesting City Council approval for the sale of
several pieces of City equipment that are no longer of service to the departments. Some of this
equipment has been replaced and new equipment is already in service, other pieces are just
simply no longer used and have been stored at Public Works and the Fire Hall. Public Works
staff would like to utilize an online auction service to facilitate the sale of this equipment. Staff
is requesting Council authorization to move forward with the sale of surplus equipment using an
online auction format.
G.13 Approve Resolution Adopting Water and Sanitary Sewer Pro Forma Financial Guide
for 2026 and Establishing Service Rates
The Finance Department has completed its analysis of water and sewer billing data and has
prepared a pro forma financial guide and corresponding service rates for the 2026 fiscal year.
Water and sewer rates were last adjusted in 2025. At that time, adjustments were made to both
base rates and usage rates. The overall goal is to provide adequate revenue to cover water and
sewer operations as contained in the pro forma financial guide and staff is recommending
increases to water and sanitary sewer base rates. Staff recommends Council approve the
Resolution Adopting a Pro Forma Financial Guide for Water and Sanitary Sewer Operations for
the 2026 Fiscal Year and Establishing Service Rates.
I.1 Approve Plans and Specs and Authorize Bids for 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area
Street Improvement
City Council had previously authorized staff to prepare plans and specifications for the 2026
Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area Street Improvement Project. The 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial
Park Area Street Improvement Project consists of full-depth pavement removal, paving, mill and
overlay improvements, spot curb and gutter replacement, trail improvements, street lighting
improvements, and minor utility improvements. Plans and Specifications have been prepared for
the 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area Street Improvement Project and are ready for
advertisement for bidding. Staff is requesting approval of the plans and specifications for the
project and authorization to advertise for bids. Staff will place the advertisement for bids, which
is required to run for a minimum of 21 days. Plans and Specifications are available for your
review at City Hall. Consideration of awarding a construction contract will occur at a future City
Council meeting. Staff recommends Council approve the resolution approving plans and
specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for the 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park
Area Street Improvement Project.
I.2 Declare Cost to be Assessed and Set Public Hearing for 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial
Park Area Street Improvement
On December 15, 2025, the City of Hugo authorized the preparation of plans and specifications
and held a public hearing ordering the improvements for the 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park
Area Street Improvement Project. As part of the public improvement process, in accordance with
the requirement of state statutes Chapter 429 for assessments to benefitting properties, the
Council needs to declare the costs to be assessed and conduct the assessment hearing. A
resolution declaring the costs to be assessed and ordering the preparation of the proposed
assessment roll has been prepared for your consideration. Staff recommends Council approve
the resolution declaring costs to be assessed and the resolution setting the assessment hearing for
the 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area Street Improvement Project for April 6, 2026.
M.1 Schedule Open House for 165th Street AUAR on Tuesday, March 24, 2026
An open house will be held on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the Oneka
Room to gather input on the 165th Street AUAR. Staff recommends Council schedule a meeting
to attend the open house.

Northeast Youth & Family Services – President and CEO Angela Lewis Dmello
Angela Lewis-Dmello, President & CEO of Northeast Youth & Family Services (NYFS),
presented the organization’s Annual Report. NYFS is one of two organizations providing mental
health services to Hugo residents, with City funding included in the budget to support these
programs.
Lewis-Dmello announced NYFS’s upcoming 50th anniversary and reviewed its mission and
values. Founded in 1976 by ten municipalities and two school districts, NYFS provides
accessible mental health care on a sliding fee scale, including free domestic and sexual violence
services. The organization partners with 16 municipalities, five law enforcement agencies, three
school districts, and the county sheriff’s departments. Its board includes representatives from
partner cities.
She described NYFS’s new community-centered model of care, informed by client data. In the
past year, NYFS served 1,261 individuals, an increase of 40%, through nearly 20,000
appointments. Forty-eight percent of clients are teens, and most are under age 28.
Lewis-Dmello reported on funding and expenses, noting revenue from grants, donations, and
third-party billing (36%), with 12% from municipalities. Following post-COVID reinvestment,
NYFS moved from a $790,000 deficit in 2023 to a fully funded $5.25 million budget in 2026.
The sale of their Shoreview building enabled the creation of an endowment fund.
She highlighted programs including clinic- and school-based mental health services, early
childhood mental health, community service, and restorative programs. NYFS recently added
criminal legal advocacy to support domestic violence victims through law enforcement
partnerships and is seeking to expand group therapy and regional service locations.
Council Member Weidt commended the growth in services and thanked Lewis-Dmello for the
presentation.
Community Development Annual Report – Associate Planner Max Gort
Associate Planner Max Gort presented to Council the 2025 Community Development Annual
Report. He shared information on population estimates saying he expected the 2025 estimate to
be17,700 or 18,000 when it is available in the spring. There were a total of 34 applications
submitted in 2025 that include three ordnance amendments. Encroachment agreements were
high at 13 applications but the City will see a decrease due to them now being handled
administratively.
A chart of residential building permits over the past ten years showed that, in the last year, 118
single-family home permits and 149 multifamily units were permitted, including five Oneka
Council Meeting Minutes for February 2, 2026
Page 3 of 8
Fields buildings with 12 units each and 89 units in the Frenchman Place apartments. A new
inspector, Mason Libke, was hired to fill the position previously held by Terry Hagstrom.
Approved commercial projects included the Cedar Creek Solar Farm, Kwik Trip, and a dance
studio, along with two minor subdivisions. Multifamily projects under construction include
Arbor West Apartments and Oneka Fields Apartments, while active single-family projects
include the Shores of Oneka Lake and Watercrest of Hugo, as well as a 33,500‑square‑foot
addition to Liberty Classical Academy. The Economic Development Authority’s major initiative
has been the marketing of the City‑owned property along Highway 61. The City is currently
working with La Delicious on a proposed restaurant, community space, retail, and row homes
facing Egg Lake. Additional commercial is planned for Frenchman Village and the Shores of
Oneka Lake North, and work involving Clarus Dermatology and Agape Spanish Immersion
Academy.
Max explained another major project staff is working on is the 165th Street AUAR. The
objective is to determine impacts of land uses, extension of utilities, and improvement to 165th
Street. Another open house is scheduled for March 24, 2026, and final adoption anticipated in
May 2026.
Ordinance updates were done to the solar farm ordinance, parking ordinance, and fence
ordinance that streamlined the process to only require administrative approval if there is
infrastructure in the easement. The City had also adopted a cannabis ordinance, and there have
been a few inquiries regarding locations to allow retail, but no formal applications have been
received. The shoreland ordinance was reviewed due to inconsistencies with the City’s
ordinance and state standards. Staff has been working with the DNR on flexibility and has
reached an agreement. Staff is preparing a new shoreland ordinance for DNR review. This is
important for the proposed development of the City-owned property on Egg Lake.
Work has begun on review of the zoning code. Staff is working with Landform to review zoning
districts and performance standards. The City received a $50,000 grant for the project. The
process of the 2050 comprehensive plan also began at the end of 2025. Max reported that the
Metropolitan Council’s population forecasts for the City have been significantly reduced, and the
City has formally appealed those projections.
Petryk asked whether the shoreland ordinance was being reviewed in a timely manner. Max
replied that staff was optimistic.
Mayor Weidt thanked Max for the presentation.

with the Hugo Knight Riders Snowmobile Club and the Minnesota Snow Drag Tour, which has
experience hosting similar events throughout Minnesota. This year, the Minnesota Snow Drag
Tour has six events scheduled, including the Hugo American Legion Shootout. The event
requires City Council approval of a Special Event Permit due to an estimated attendance of 750
people throughout the day on Saturday, the use of City-owned property along Egg Lake, the use
of amplified sound, and the sale of alcohol. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the
Special Event Permit for the Snow Drag on February 28, 2026, subject to the condition in the

Frenchman Village Concept Plan
Maplewood Development requested review and comments on a sketch plan for the properties
generally located in the area south of Frenchman Road/CSAH 8 and west of Highway 61. The
property totals approximately 97 acres, and the sketch plan shows single-family homes (140
units), townhomes (150 units), and various commercial businesses (95,000 square feet). The
portion of the property at the southwest corner of Highway 61 and CSAH 8/Frenchman Road is
guided by the Downtown Plan and design guidelines. Community Development Director Rachel
Juba reminded Council that comments on a sketch plan are informal and non-binding. Juba
provided the Council details on the proposed development.
The 2040 Land Use Plan guides commercial, low-density residential, and mixed use at the corner
of CSAH 8 and TH 61, and the current zoning matches the Comprehensive Plan for that area.
The C-2 zoning is for most commercial uses, and C-1 is more pedestrian-oriented and can
include high-density residential. The proposed development reduces the amount of commercial
land along the County road but does have commercial on the east and west ends. The plan
extends existing townhouse development to the west and proposes single-family housing east of
Oneka Parkway, with screening such as berms, ponds, and landscaping recommended along
CSAH 8. It was noted that the property has been marketed for several years under the current
land use plan without success and that a shift toward residential uses is more viable based on
market demand. A clubhouse with a pool and a four-acre park at the extension of Fenway
Boulevard are proposed as neighborhood amenities. Some off-street trails will connect to the
Hardwood Creek Trail. Staff recommends additional buffering between nearby homes and the
Metropolitan Council lift station due to occasional odor concerns.
The Parks Commission had reviewed the plan and supported the proposed park’s location and
the trail network connecting to existing routes and the future park. They requested that the
developer provide approximately five acres of usable parkland to accommodate future amenities
such as athletic fields, courts, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The Commission would also like to
see better trail connections to the Clearwater Cove neighborhood.
Council Meeting Minutes for February 2, 2026
Page 7 of 8
Juba provided details on the plan for landscaping, streets, and other infrastructure improvements.
The proposed access locations and street locations meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
Future traffic signals are proposed at access points along CSAH 8/Frenchman Road at Fenway
Boulevard and Everton Avenue. Developer contributions to the cost of the traffic signals will be
considered with the development of the property. There is a roundabout shown on the plan that
may need to be moved further south. Victor Path and Fenway Boulevard will need to be
extended to connect to Frenchman Road, and easement acquisitions will be required. No full
landscape plan was provided, but the site plan showed the cross-section between CSAH 8 and
the lots. Juba stated that staff would like to see the lots set back a little more to provide more of a
buffer. Sewer and water are available to the property, and the applicant is working with the
Metropolitan Council to move the aging interceptor that bisects the property line. The plan
showed some regional ponding and stormwater reuses.
Juba updated the Council on comments from the EDA and Planning Commission. The EDA
wanted to see more commercial land use but were comfortable with what was shown, noting the
downtown area is expected to have higher-quality site design. The Planning Commission wanted
a larger buffer from the lift station and to ensure that lots accommodate the needs of property
owners.
Juba concluded that the proposal would require amendments to the 2040 Land Use Plan.
Development phasing and the traffic study will be important. The architectural design will be
reviewed to ensure consistency with the Downtown Design Guidelines.
Mario Cocchiarella, owner of Maplewood Development, Inc., spoke about his experience and the
benefits of master planning, which will allow them to make more informed decisions. He
acknowledged there were two large undertakings: working with the Metropolitan Council on the
sewer interceptor line and working with FEMA on the approvals needed for the floodplain. He
said he believed this development plan will work, though it may take some time to fill the
commercial spaces.
Krull questioned the Fenway Boulevard extension and whether the area will be able to
accommodate vehicle traffic. Mario responded that the roundabout may need to be moved. He
acknowledged there will be traffic in the area and that it is a lot of retail to fill, maybe with some
medical uses. Krull commented that, though Hugo wants more commercial, they need to do what
the market will bear.
Miron noted there were details to be worked out, but overall, he said it was a well-thought-out
plan. He appreciated the trail connections. He commented that it was a significant deviation from
the existing land use, but the EDA had indicated they were comfortable with the adjustment.
Miron appreciated that the plan incorporates water reuse.
Strub commented that the land has a lot of potential and that the days of traditional commercial
development are past. He said the single-family housing looks dense, but there would be a nice
park. He liked the community center as an amenity.
Petryk said she appreciated that it was a master plan and that she was happy about the park.
Weidt said they have been looking for commercial uses there, but the world has changed
dramatically, and waiting for large commercial development is likely unreasonable at this point.
Council Meeting Minutes for February 2, 2026
Page 8 of 8
This plan provides the best scenario, and all the residential development may help spark the retail
spaces. He stressed that traffic studies need to be completed.
The plan will need to go through the EAW process, which can be done in parallel with the
preliminary plat.

Prairie Park
At the August 20 meeting,
the Commission named
the new park in Oneka
Prairie “Prairie Park”.
The small neighborhood
park includes a play-
ground and benches and
was constructed by the
developer.
Clearwater
Creek
Preserve
The Commission sched-
uled a tour of Clearwater
Creek Preserve and the
Bernin property at their
May meeting, which was
cancelled due to the
weather. At the meeting
of June 18, the Commis-
sion toured the parks to
see the wood chip trail
restoration work. The
Commission agreed to
postpone trail improve-
ment planning.
HCRT
The City was notified in
August that Washington
County was awarded
funding for construction of
the remaining portion of
the Hardwood Creek Re-
gional trail. The City has
plans to build trails on
130th and 140th Street
and reconstruct the trail
on Fenway Avenue. Staff
continues to work with
Washington County to
move completion of the
missing trail connections
along.
Bright Blues and Yellows of the New Playground at Oneka Lake Park
Oneka Lake Park Reconstructed
At the meeting of March 3, Council authorized Flagship Recreation to prepare
designs for reconstruction of Oneka Lake Park. The Parks Commission held a
neighborhood meeting on April 16 which was well attended. Residents selected their
preferred design, which was a more traditional play structure. The playground
features a large structure for 2-5 year olds as there are multiple young families and
daycares in the neighborhood. A cozy dome, teeter-totter, and independent play
features are also included. Residents also voted on their preferred color scheme and
voiced support for use of pour-in-place surfacing. The Commission requested
expansion of the swing area to provide more options. Pour-in-place surfacing was
preferred to address drainage issues in the park and to reduce maintenance at this
high-use playground. Council approved the playground replacement at their April 22
meeting as recommended by the Commission.
Removals started in mid-August. The playground was installed in September. New
drain tile was installed and the entry trail was graded to reduce the slope by Public
Works. The asphalt looped trail was replaced in November. Staff cleaned up the
site and hydroseeded following the trail pavement. Concrete work and shelter paint-
ing will be completed in spring 2026.
Construction Progress of Oneka Lake Park
Veterans Memorial Committee
Established
At their August 20 meeting, the Commission authorized the establishment of a com-
mittee to work on a Veterans Memorial in Lions Volunteer Park. The project was
initiated by members of Hugo’s Legion and Auxiliary. The committee is charged with
designing the monument and planning for its fundraising and long-term operation.
Commissioners Reding and Moore-Arcand volunteered to serve on the committee.
Other members include Councilmember Ben Krull, Dave Flemming, Marcy Brake,
Carly Brake, Paul Christianson and Barb Connolly.
The committee has had two meetings and set a mission statement for the memorial:
This memorial honors the service of military veterans, acknowledges their
commitment to preserving our freedom, unites the community in a shared
expression of gratitude, and advocates for the continued support and recogni-
tion of our veterans.
Willows
Treated
Several of Hugo’s trails border
stormwater ponds or wetlands
where will trees are common. Will
tree roots grow up through the trail
surface causing damage.
In July, a company was hired to
apply herbicide to willow trees along
the trail corridors. The willow trees
were allowed to brown to ensure
success of the treatment. The corri-
dors were then mowed following the
recommended 30 day period. Addi-
tional trees were identified for
removal with Public Works’ winter
tree trimming efforts.
Munger Property
Sketch Plan Reviewed
The Parks Commission reviewed one residential development proposal in 2025. It
was for the Munger Property and proposed by Capstone Homes. The proposal includ-
ed construction of 90 units on 38 acres south of 165th Street. The developer did not
provide a park dedication proposal or a trail plan. Informal comments were provided
by the Commission at their February 19 meeting which included laying out the require-
ments and encouraging off road trails.

New Park Signs
At the Commission meeting of August 21, 2024, the purchase of tan
colored high-density polyethylene park signs was approved. Four
park monument signs were purchased. The signs were installed in
summer 2025. At the meeting of September 15, 2025, the Commis-
sion approved the purchase of new entrance monument signs for all
of the remaining parks in Hugo. The signs will be installed in the
spring of 2026 to replace existing deteriorating signs and in new

To whom it may concern,
The City of Hugo Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission is requesting proposals for playground
equipment to be installed at Frog Hollow Park located at 5495 159th St N. There will be a neighborhood
meeting to review all proposals at the Parks Commission meeting of Wednesday, May 20 at 6:00pm at
the Peder Peders en Pavilion. It is requested that you present your design (s) for public comment.
The Parks Commission requests that the playground design maximize the amount of equipment and play
features while maintaining the current playground footprint. The existing concrete curb will not be replaced
or changed. The proposal should take into consideration the highly visible neighborhood location of the
playground with an aesthetically interesting design and color scheme. The Commission’s priority is having a
primary structure that is large in scale rather than independent play or other stand-alone features. A
separate structure for 2–5-year-olds is not preferred.
The proposal estimate should include play equipment, engineered wood fiber surfacing and all
installation . The existing playground will be removed by a separate contractor. The irregularly shaped
playground container is approximately 5,4 00 square feet. Proposals will be evaluated by the Parks
Commission based on neighborhood input , maximization of the footprint, and cost.
For more information, feel free to call me at 651-762-6342 or contact Public Works Director Scott Anderson at
651-762-6326. Staff would appreciate the opportunity to view your proposal ahead of the neighborhood
meeting. We request that you reach out to us by May 1 if you intend to make a proposal. We appreciate
your time and effort in preparing creative playground designs for the Hugo Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Commission!
Thank you,

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
FROM: Mike Loeffler, Public Works Supervisor
SUBJECT: Replacement of Water Truck Tank
DATE: For the City Council Meeting of March 2, 2026
BACKGROUND
In 2015, the City purchased a used water truck from Mountain Hi Truck in Walla Walla
Washington for gravel road maintenance. This winter staff discovered leaks in the water
tank from corrosion. Staff researched repair of the existing tank and found the cost to be
prohibitive vs the longevity of an old tank. Quotes were received to budget for a new
water truck (chassis and tank) both steel and stainless steel. Pricing came in at
$350,000.00 to $375,000.00 and would require renting water trucks for the interim.
A third option would be ordering a new exact replacement tank from the original
manufacturer for the existing chassis. New tanks are now sandblasted and epoxied on
the interior for longevity. Being that the City’s Peterbilt chassis alone has little resale
value but is still in good condition, staff believes this is the best option for cost and
longevity for the City of Hugo. After discussion with the Finance Director, and given the
substantial cost of the replacement, staff recommends funding the purchase through the
Equipment CIP Fund to prevent depleting the Street Department General Fund budget.
DESIRED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the ordering and purchase of a new water
tank from Mountain High Truck & Equipment LLC for $28,000.00 with an additional cost
of $15,000.00 for shipping, sandblasting and painting the exterior and new fenders for
the chassis.

SUBJECT: 2026 Water and Sanitary Sewer Service Rates
DATE: For the City Council Meeting of March 2, 2026
DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION
Adoption of Resolution Approving a Pro Forma Financial Guide for Water and Sanitary Sewer Operations for the 2026
Fiscal Year and Establishing Service Rates.
BRIEF HISTORY
The utility fund operates as an enterprise fund and therefore it does not receive revenue from property taxes. The fund
is financed through user fees paid for services provided instead of property taxes.
Over the last eight years, the Finance Department has prepared the water and sewer rate schedules rather than
outsourcing the task to a consulting firm. The Finance Department has collected, organized and analyzed water usage
information and staff is ready to recommend water and sanitary sewer rates for the 2026 fiscal year.
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL GUIDE
In order to develop service rates staff developed a pro forma financial guide (basically a budget) for the Water and
Sewer Departments. Staff feels that the spending items identified in the guide reflect the true and actual expenses for
the services being provided. Funds for large repair items (such as pump repairs, water main breaks and lift station
rebuilds) have been identified separately.
The Finance Department has been notified that the City’s current accounting software will reach its end of life on
December 31, 2026. This includes the software that is used to track water usage and produce quarterly utility bills.
Both the water and sewer budgets reflect their portion of the costs associated with replacing and implementing new
accounting software.
Inflation continues to impact the cost of everyday supplies needed to maintain a safe and reliable distribution system.
Utilities and insurance are also seeing continued increases, all of which contribute to higher operational costs for the
Water & Sewer Departments.
The sewer fund budget also continues to see sizable increases from Metropolitan Council Environment Services for
sewage treatment.
Water and sewer rates were last adjusted in 2025. At that time, adjustments were made to both base rates and usage
rates.
2026 Water and Sewer Rates Memo Page 2 of 4
WATER RATES
Yearly water usage remains highly unpredictable. Total water pumped in 2024 declined compared to 2023 and 2022
and then slightly rebounded in 2025. These fluctuations highlight the need for an effective rate schedule that produces
a stable revenue stream, regardless of annual consumption unpredictability. To meet our water budget needs, staff is
recommending a 7% increase to the water base charge for all customers. This revenue will offset both annual
depreciation and a portion of operating expenses.
TRUE CONSERVATION RATES
Water service rates are established using a conservation rate schedule, which seeks to reward low‐end users with the
lowest rate while encouraging everyone to use water efficiently. All separately metered irrigation will be charged $9.25
per thousand gallons, up from $8.40 per thousand gallons. This revenue will offset a portion of operating expenses to
help allow us to keep lower usage rates for low‐end water users.
With the recommended rate schedule, all 4,432 residential accounts will experience an annual increase of $12.00 in
their water bills due to the increase in the quarterly base charge. Of course, their quarterly bills will fluctuate based on
water usage.
For an average single‐family residential water user that means the proposed water rates would result in a yearly water
bill of $296.00, versus $284.00 at the previous rates.
MULTI‐FAMILY RESIDENTIAL RATES
The city has 201 multi‐family accounts that contain 1,664 dwelling units. Prior to 2018 these accounts were billed the
same as single‐family residential accounts. Analysis showed that these accounts used 45% less water since their
irrigation is metered separately (and billed at the highest rate). Staff is recommending retaining just one rate level,
which would be the volume rate usage tier for average residential water usage.
Billing in this manner also ensures the city complies with State Statute 103G.291, Subdivision 4, which mandates that if
a conservation rate is applied to multi‐family dwellings, the rate structure must consider each residential unit as an
individual user.
With the recommended rate schedule, multi‐family accounts will see an annual increase of $12.00 in their water bills
due to the increase in the quarterly base charge. Of course, their quarterly bills will fluctuate based on water usage.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL RATES
Commercial and Industrial water users have different rates and usage levels compared to residential water users. Their
rates and usage levels are determined based on Residential Equivalent Units (REUs), which measure how their usage
compares to a typical household, ensuring that both categories are billed appropriately according to their water
consumption.
Commercial and Industrial water users will also see an increase in the base charge. The 130 accounts in this category
will see an annual increase of $12.00 in their water bills due to the increase in the quarterly base charge. Of course,
their quarterly bills will fluctuate based on water usage.
2026 Water and Sewer Rates Memo Page 3 of 4
SANITARY SEWER RATES
The largest expense item in the sewer department is for sewage treatment. These charges are imposed by and paid to
Metropolitan Council Environment Services (MCES). For 2026, MCES charges will amount to $1,022,384, an increase of
$47,825 or 4.9%. Staff anticipate continuing yearly fee increases from MCES for sewage treatment. When combined
with depreciation and funds for lift‐station rebuilds and submersible pump repairs, staff is recommending an increase in
the base portion of the rate schedule. Residential sewer charges will continue to be based on water used in the winter
quarter (January, February and March).
For residential customers, the base amount per SAC unit will increase 4% to $88.50 per quarter, up from $85.00 per
quarter. Commercial, Industrial and Institutional customers will also see a base amount increase per SAC unit of 4%, for
a base charge of $27.50 per quarter, up from $26.50 per quarter. This group of customers is charged for actual water
use (flow) each quarter.
For an average single‐family residential sewer user that means the proposed sewer rates would results in a yearly sewer
bill of $378.00 versus $364.00 at the pervious rates.
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICE CONNECTION FEE
The State of Minnesota collects a Safe Drinking Water Service Connection Fee on each water connection within the City.
The City serves solely as a collection agent, collecting the fees from customers and remitting the funds to the Minnesota
Department of Health (MDH).
MDH uses this revenue to support safe drinking water efforts statewide through its Drinking Water Protection Program.
Funds are dedicated to activities such as training and technical assistance for public water systems, ensuring compliance
with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, and protecting the health of all Minnesotans.
For 2026, this state‐mandated fee will increase by 56.5%, rising from $9.72 to $15.22 per connection per year. As a
result, all water customers will see a quarterly increase of $1.38 on their utility bills. This increase was set by the
Minnesota Legislature and is required statewide.
SUMMARY
All water users will see a base rate increase of $12.00 annually, or $3.00 per quarter.
Irrigation that is metered separately will see their usage rate increased to $9.25 per thousand gallons (for all gallons
used) up from $8.40 per thousand gallons.
Residential sewer customers will see a base rate increase of $14.00 per SAC unit annually, or $3.50 per SAC unit each
quarter.
Commercial, Industrial and Institutional sewer customers will see a base rate increase of $4.00 per SAC unit annually, or
$1.00 per SAC unit each quarter.
Overall, an average single‐family residential utility customer would be charged $674.00 annually for both water and
sewer services. This equates to $168.50 a quarter or $56.17 a month, reflecting a monthly increase of $2.17 compared
to the 2025 rates.
2026 Water and Sewer Rates Memo Page 4 of 4
In 2024, Metropolitan Council Environmental Services published a comparison of 2024 sewer rates across the seven‐
county metropolitan area served by MCES. The study examined rates from 111 communities based on an annual
consumption of 60,000 gallons. The lowest annual cost was $160.00, while the highest annual cost was $1,048.00, with
an average annual cost of $419.00. Hugo’s reported annual cost of $346.00 was well below the reported average and
ranked 39th lowest on the list. Even with the proposed rate adjustment for 2026, staff anticipates that the City will
remain below the regional average when accounting for inflationary impacts and rising operational costs.
MCES last updated their water rate study in 2016, comparing 93 communities based on 75,456 gallons consumed
annually, with an average cost of $268.56 a year. That data is a decade old, and factoring in just a small 3% increase
over those years would result in an average annual cost of $360.00. Using the proposed water rates for 2026, a single‐
family residential water user in Hugo, consuming the same gallons, would see a yearly bill of approximately $300.00.
The overall goal is to provide adequate revenue to cover water and sewer operations as contained in the pro forma
financial guide. The fund should neither operate with a deficit, nor generate excessive profits. The utility fund operates
under the principle that cash on hand should equal the amount of accumulated depreciation, with any profits earned
retained in the fund to support that goal.
Staff anticipates that the North Water Tower No. 3 will require a complete exterior and interior repainting in 2030, with
estimated costs ranging from $1.75 million to $2 million. Retained earnings within the Utility Fund will play a critical role
in helping finance this significant maintenance project.
DIRECTION TO STAFF
The attached resolution adopts the pro forma financial guide assembled by the Finance Department and approves the
recommended rate schedules. It also directs the Finance Department to develop a pro forma financial guide and
service rates on an annual basis going forward.
Upon approval, a notice of the new rates will be provided to all municipal utility customers.
