8.0 UNFINISHED BUSINESS
8.1 Preliminary Report - Water Problems (Oneka Lake)
An on-site inspection was made of Hardwood Creek by employees of Kuusisto Engineering,
and pertinent photos of said inspection were submitted to the Council for their review.
There are a number of obstructions along the creek, and no outlet from Oneka Lake.
Water movement in the creek is steady but slow. The gradient is relatively low
north of Oneka Lake as it meanders to Forest Lake Township. Mr. Kuusisto stated
that after the water subsides he would be taking a look at the obstructed culverlon
157th Street. There were a number of bng-time residents of Hugo present at the
meeting, and stated that they would be willing to sign legal documents stating that
water did flow from the outlet at the southeast corner of Oneka Lake years ago.
This drainage ditch is located on the property of Alex Zaluckyj, and he opposes any
tampering with, what he considers, a private ditch.
MOTION: McAllister made motion, Peltier seconded, that the Mayor and City Attorney
obtain an injunction, in a competent court of jurisdiction, regarding the
drainage way from Oneka Lake to Oneka Lake Boulevard, so that the City
of Hugo be allowed to open said drainage way, and maintain the level of
