The bus garage currently located near White Bear Lake Area High School North Campus will likely move to Hugo to make room for the one-campus high school expansion.

The school board approved a purchase agreement with a property owner in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park at its Nov. 12 meeting. Details of the agreement were not released from the closed meeting.

The 7-acre site is located off Fenway Boulevard, near the intersection of Fenway Boulevard Circle, according to Washington County property records. Its 2019 value was listed as $648,700. The land is owned by Nordling Property, located in White Bear Lake.

The location, size, accessibility and cost was what the district was looking for, according to Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. The relocation of the bus garage will make room for the unified high school expansion.

At the same meeting, the board also approved a purchase agreement with a homeowner near North Campus. During the bond

Council dives into future of public works building

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

HUGO — What to do to improve the public works facility has been on the minds of city staff and the City Council for a couple of years now.

The facility, located on 137th Street N., was built in 2004 for $2.5 million. Back in 2018, the council announced one of its goals was to conduct a space needs study for city buildings. Employees were asked to complete a survey of needs for the facilities they utilize.

In 2019, the council found a space needs study for the public works building was needed. Jeff Oertel, of Oertel Architects, presented the study findings to the council and city staff at a workshop Nov. 12.

Every single street: Cyclist bikes every public road in Washington County

BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

Terry Stille has accomplished a feat that few, if any, others can lay claim to: he’s biked every public road in Washington County. And yes, that means all of them.

“Every cul de sac, every dead end, every road,” Stille said. “Anywhere that didn’t have a sign that said ‘no trespassing’ or ‘private road’ … and, of course, not the interstates; it’s not legal to bike on those.” All the other ones, though, have been checked off his list in a five-and-a-half-year series of bike rides that took him through 31 cities and townships and totaled 7,000 miles.

Stille, 57, is an avid cyclist. (one would have to be to undertake a project like this), but he hasn’t always been. After a total hip replacement in 2004 made his normal forms of exercise difficult, he took up cycling instead.

“I had to give up volleyball. I had to give up running, so I just started biking as physical therapy,” Stille explained. “I just started going farther and farther; I started off with riding one or two miles, then gradually added more and more.”

Stille and his wife, Mary, moved to Woodbury in 2013. He said that he “quickly fell in love” with the scenic views that cycling throughout Washington County’s southern portion afforded him.

“I started doing a lot of riding around in Woodbury and Afton, then moved onto the whole St. Croix River and just loved it. I kept going further north, just exploring,” Stille said.

“That quickly grew into a personal challenge to ride my bike on every single highway, county road and public street Washington County.”

Runners and cyclists throughout the country have undertaken similar quests; the Every Single Street project challenges people to explore their cities by running or biking all roads in them and encourages them to post snapshots of their journeys on social media using the hashtag #everysinglestreet.

Stille said that as far as he knows, he’s the only person to take the challenge from the city to the county level. It was an unusual goal, he admitted, but its uniqueness was precisely its appeal. “I was trying to do something nobody else had done before,” he said.

And, once he got the idea, he had a hard time turning back.

“Washington County is 40 miles by 15 miles, so the total is 423 square miles. The reason I remember that so well is that my birthday is April 23,” he said. “I thought, ‘It’s kind of an omen; I’ve got to do this.”

Stille began his quest in the spring of 2014 and finished on Sept. 20 of this year. His last ride was a short one: about a mile through Forest Lake, west on Broadway Avenue, then north on Lyons Street to reach the county’s northwest corner. When he reached the Washington County sign, he laid his cell phone in the grass, set the camera’s self-timer, lifted his road bike above his head and posed for a selfie.

Stille doesn’t necessarily recommend others undertake a series of county-wide bike rides—“it’s really kind of silly,” he said—but he does encourage others to explore the beauty of Washington County, particularly by bike.

“One thing with biking that you don’t get with driving (is) all your senses—things you smell, things you hear, things you see—let you really get to appreciate the land a lot more,” he said. “Cycling is just so peaceful to me … I get a lot of thinking done. My ‘cycle therapy’ is what I call it.”

Terry Stille hoists his road bike over his head in celebration of achieving his goal of biking all public roads in Washington County. His final ride, on Sept. 20, was through Forest Lake to the northwestern-most corner of the county.

Council approves purchase agreement for future steakhouse

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

HUGO — The City Council approved a purchase agreement Nov. 4 for $1 with Hugo residents Tony and Michele Harmening for the cityowned property across from City Hall, along Egg Lake.

The EDA was fi rst presented with the concept for a steakhouse at its Oct. 15 meeting. The EDA agreed that the concept generally met the development criteria the city has for the property and directed city staff to negotiate a purchase agreement with the Harmenings. City Planner Rachel Juba explained that city staff has not yet fully reviewed the plans, but thinks the concept would generally be a good fit for downtown.

The 4,500-square-foot steakhouse would be called Cattle House. The fi rst phase of the project would be the restaurant, but later phases could include the event center and separate retail buildings, perhaps an ice cream joint or coffee shop.

Tony attended the Nov. 4 council meeting and said, “I have been working really hard to put a

restaurant together that I think everyone will love. We want to make it somewhere where everyone can gather, and be a restaurant that you can trust. This is a great opportunity for my family.”

Councilwoman Becky Petryk said, “Every meeting that we have where the public is involved, someone asks us about restaurants and tells us how bad we need one. This will be a wonderful amenity for Hugo. I am excited about the public amenities that are included, and I think it will be a success.”

Councilman Mike Miron said, “I think it would be a great addition to the city. I like how you have some plans for the future of that site in terms of expansion and some of the other uses that will exist with the restaurant acting as the anchor ... I think it will add traffic downtown and bring some added attention to that area. I appreciate you bringing it forward and wanting to invest in your hometown.”

Tawnja Zahradka, of Forest Lake, is seeking the DFL endorsement for Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District seat, hoping to replace U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer (R) in the process.

Zahradka, a former television personality and 1995 Mrs. Minnesota, said in her campaign announcement that her frustration after attending Emmer’s town hall in St. Cloud this summer motivated her to run.

“When good people do nothing, it is the very definition of tyranny. I just couldn’t sit idly on the sidelines,” she said in her campaign announcement. “It was time for me to fight the corruption I was witnessing and stand up for all people who suffer at the hands of bullies.”

Emmer, a former state representative, has represented Minnesota’s 6th District since 2015.

He secured a third term in 2018, winning his re-election bid against DFL challenger Ian Todd with 61% of the votes. Emmer serves on the House Financial Services Committee and chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which recruits Republican candidates and works to elect Republicans to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Zahradka is the second Democratic candidate to announce a challenge to Emmer; she will face fellow Democrat Ian Todd in the August 2020 primaries before the November general election.

Minnesota’s 6th District includes Benton, Sherburne and Wright counties as well as portions of Anoka, Carver, Hennepin, Stearns and Washington counties.

Being thankful

t always amazes me to witness volunteers in action. While attending a funeral in Marine on St. Croix this past week, I stumbled upon a dozen volunteers organizing a meal after the service.

Some volunteers were making sure the tables were just right, others were prepping the food in the kitchen, another was carefully placing flower arrangements. This is happening at churches all around us. I’ve heard a story of a man who drives an older woman to and from her job roughly 10 miles each way. He’s able to do it because he works from home.

This past summer, a friend of ours was diagnosed with cancer. A group put together a plan to help out with meals, house cleaning and yard work so the family didn’t have to worry Publisher’s about it for the several weeks he was receiving treatment. Another story View is a local guy who loaned a car to a single mom in need of temporary, Carter Johnson reliable transportation. It is stories like these that should remind all of us to be thankful, whether we are on the receiving end or have the ability and resources to help others.

As we look around our communities I am awestruck by the extent of what local churches and organizations are doing – providing prayers, food, clothing and resources for people in need. I have toured local food shelves and been humbled that many of the people picking up food are no different than my family.

They need a boost, and often it’s temporary. All of us, really, are a job change, illness, or tragedy away from needing help in some way.

This Thanksgiving season, consider helping your neighbors. Maybe ask your church or local food shelf how you can volunteer. Service clubs like the Lions and Rotary Clubs give back on a regular basis.

Local business owner Bill Foussard is co-founder of Thanksgiving Meals on Wheels. He’s always looking for help delivering prepacked turkey dinners to those in need Thanksgiving morning. If you’re interested, simply show up at 7 a.m. at Cretin Derham Hall High School, 550 South Albert St. in St. Paul. Two people minimum is required per car, and deliveries are usually done by 11 a.m. Our family has done it and it is an experience to remember. If you don’t have the time to commit to volunteering, these groups and organizations equally appreciate donations of money.

Shop with purpose To keep our local businesses alive and healthy, it’s more important than ever to keep our spending local.

This holiday season, buy from local retailers and locally owned businesses. When we spend outside of the area, we lose out on supporting local jobs, local taxes and local infrastructure.

Look through the paper for great deals from local retailers and remember small business Saturday is Nov. 30.

Subscribers finalists Many thanks go out to the supporters and voluntary subscribers of the paper. As we wind down our fall voluntary subscription campaign, we will list our five finalists in next week’s paper. The winner will receive a gift card of their choice to a local business.

The staff here at Press Publications is thankful for the community support, especially since the paper is free to anyone who wants it. Your support helps keep the news and information flowing into the community.

A few weeks ago, a friend was joking with me by saying he was glad we don’t need farmers anymore because we have grocery stores. He then gave the analogy that we don’t need newspapers because we have the internet. Just like we need farmers to produce the food to stock the shelves at our grocery stores, we need journalists to spend time in meetings, conduct interviews and to write stories about the local things that matter to you.

Thank you again for reading our newspapers, both online and in print. Our goal, as always, is to be your best source of community news and information.

Know what you’re getting when it comes to furnace repair

all is the ideal time of year to have your furnace serviced, but the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota warns homeowners to beware of contractors who use scare tactics to convince people into authorizing unnecessary repairs.

While most Movers & furnace Shakers companies are reputable, Better Business competent and fair, others may Bureau falsely tell you that your furnace needs to be repaired or replaced when in reality it does not. They may try to frighten you with warnings that your system is leaking dangerous gases that could explode or poison those inside the house.

The most important fi rst step is to remain calm. Before you authorize any work, get a second opinion from another reputable fi rm to see if the work really needs to be done. Do not hesitate to contact your utility company and ask for a serviceman to come and inspect your system.

Once you decide that work needs to be done on your present system or you need a new system, be certain to hire a contractor with a good reputation for dependable, reasonably priced work. Ask friends, neighbors and colleagues for recommendations, and check Better Business Bureau’s website for reviews, ratings and free quotes.

Get at least two estimates on the repairs that need to be done.

All bids should be in writing and should provide a full description of the services to be provided and the materials to be used. Compare more than just cost. Check the

size and rated efficiency of the equipment each contractor recommends and ask each contractor how they arrived at recommending a particular sized system.

Be sure to check the warranty on your system to see whether any repairs or replacements are covered. Remember that many heating systems come with longterm warranties.

Also, if you are told that your furnace needs to be replaced because it is too small, think back to the last time it failed to properly heat your house. When purchasing a furnace, you should choose a unit large enough to handle the demands of your household. Do not waste money on a furnace that is larger than you need.

Spreading mulch is like frosting a cake

W

hat’s the difference between using mulch and rocks? A neighbor recently asked me that. The simple answer is that they are both mulch and both have their merits.

They both add protection and esthetic cover, while keeping soil temperatures balanced. Mulch is like pulling down a shade in a room; it cuts off light to those pesky weed seeds so they don’t germinate and compete with the needs of the plantings.

Mulch falls into two basic categories of organic and inorganic. Some people prefer the later, such as rock around their home because of the stability of the product when it rains. However, there is the challenge of proper water, oxygen and nutrients in the soil, thus affecting the plantings. Remember when plastic was king in landscaping?

Plantings were suffocating and dying of thirst. Landscape fabric has been

introduced as an alternative. Many home and commercial landscapers are moving toward no fabric under organic mulches that break down into soil. The only caveat to this is that slower decomposing mulches may utilize the nitrogen in the soil, so a fertilizer is recommended if signs this deficiency is Gardener’s of noticed. Although Grapevine organic mulches do require regular Kim Halberg application, weeds are easily plucked out.

There are no heavy shovels of rocks to remove after wind and time has deposited a layer of soil, creating a perfect storm of weeds.

Besides the classic two mulches of rock and wood chips, there are choices limited only by one’s imagination:

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

carpet, geo plastic textiles, cocoa shells, bark, pine needles, chopped leaves, straw, hay, newspaper without ink, corn cobs, wine corks (have a BYOB party) and snow. Known as the poor man’s mulch, snow is a beautiful thing until it melts and temperatures drop. Leaving old vegetation to overwinter on plantings can be a cozy blanket of protection and a winter chalet for beneficial creatures. Even discarded wool fiber leftover from production is being turned into “woolch” to form a soft layer of garden fleece. Not bad, eh?

How much and what type for what plantings? Some products work best around fruits and vegetables that do not have dyes in them. In the case of trees and shrubs, keep mulch to one inch or less around the base of the trunk/stem using a doughnut hole method, instead of the volcano pile up around the base of the planting, which can cause distress to the plant.

This also applies to flowering annuals and perennials. When fi rst applying the mulch, lightly ring each planting with a circle of mulch, then fi ll in the open areas with 2-3 inches of mulch. If heavy cover is wanted for a pathway or demarcation line between turf and a wooded area, 4-5 inches would suffice.

For ornamental areas, spreading mulch can be like frosting a cake; the color sets the tone for the elements added on top. It’s a personal preference of monochromatic or a dramatic contrast. Over the years, designers have been leaning toward tones that let the plantings shine rather than competing for attention.

Great issue of The Citizen. Well-written story on Jeff Loeks. Also, liked the Carnelian Marine Watershed District budget story.

Debra’s editorial on OEF was a sobering tribute to our military members serving far from home and often in harm’s way. The story about the Hindu Kush reminded me of when Julia was at FOB Fenty and sent home the video of the insurgent attack: parents don’t always need to know everything their kids are up to.

PUBLIC WORKS: Renovate or build new?

FROM PAGE 1

operate as we need to.” Anderson added that the public works department currently doesn’t have any divisions or designated areas within the building for those divisions, but he sees that happening in the city’s near future.

City Administrator Bryan Bear said that the city’s population was slightly over 6,000 in 2000 and is now approaching 16,000. According to the city’s Comprehensive Plan, the city could see a population of around 40,000 by 2040.

Oertel explained that his firm has designed more than 50 public works buildings, which are all planned by looking at the client’s needs for the next 20-25 years. With an estimated $7.3 million budget, the existing 22,000-squarefoot building could be expanded to 61,364 square feet and include a variety of upgrades to make the building more efficient. Upgrades could include widening the building, expanding the vehicle storage area, and creating a one-way drive-thru. The addition could also incorporate more restrooms and a break room, space for lockers, and improvements to the wash bay, including an undercarriage wash.

Councilman Chuck Haas wanted to know what the advantages of renovating the existing building as opposed to building a new building would be.

He also asked where a new building would be located. Oertel explained that if the city chose to renovate/expand its current facility, it would be out of commission for a year. “Every space in the building would need to be touched.

Thirty percent of the projects we have done are renovations and expansions,” Oertel said. “If you build new, it would be more efficient, and the bidding climate would likely be better because contractors like to start from scratch.”

A new facility would likely save the city an estimated $600,000, according to Oertel. Bear explained that there are not many areas left in the city that would be big enough and have appropriate uses for a public works facility.

One location the city could consider, Bear said, is Irish Avenue Park, located at 14420 Irish Ave. N., which has 125 acres. The new building would take up a maximum of 15 acres.

Bear explained that nothing has been decided on the location, and the concept has yet to be vetted by the various city boards. White Bear Area

Public Works Director Scott Anderson said the department has been making do with what it has, but something needs to be done to accommodate the city’s growth.

Schools currently has an application pending with the city for a future bus yard in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park. Bear said school representatives toured the public works building and have not ruled it out as an option for either the bus yard or a potential leasing opportunity.

At the end of the meeting, the mayor, council and city staff were leaning toward continuing to explore a new facility at the Irish Avenue Park loca-

tion. Mayor Tom Weidt directed city staff to continue to work with Oertel on the possibility. No decisions have been made about which option the city will pursue; the workshop was simply to present information, ask questions and gather comments from city staff and the council on the various options.

Close vote, but TIF for Block 7 not dead yet

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

CENTERVILLE — Just one more Centerville City Council vote to the negative, and the developer’s agreement with Trident Development for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) in Block 7 would have been DOA. As would any chance for a TIF District for Block 7 in downtown Centerville.

“I hope you have the guts to spend the money to explore (the details of the TIF District),” City Administrator/City Engineer Mark Statz told council before the vote.

The Block 7 TIF District is still kicking, thanks to a 3-2 vote (Council Members Matt Montain and Russ Koski opposed) at the Nov. 13 meeting.

By approving the agreement, council will nego-

tiate with the developer, Trident Development, to explore the details of an agreement that could lead to the drafting of a TIF authorization. This next step forward in the TIF process will involve attorneys and cost the city $7,500. However, these costs could ultimately be covered by the developer if the TIF district becomes reality.

“By authorizing this (agreement) tonight, we’re not saying we’re doing the 20-year TIF. This isn’t all set and done with backhoes being here tomorrow morning moving land,” Mayor Jeff Paar said.

“This (agreement) is just doing research on what the TIF costs and (doing) all that detail work.”

At the Oct. 23 meeting, council held a public hearing about creating a Housing TIF District in Block 7. The current proposal on the table is for $1.35 million in assistance from the city over a 20-year district lifespan.

Earlier this year, the city received an application for TIF dollars from Trident Development for a 53-unit apartment building that included a small retail component on vacant city-owned property located on Centerville Road between Sorel Street and Heritage Street. The $10 million project would include French architecture with dormer windows, fi rst story retail, surface parking spaces and detached garage bays.

Trident Development Vice President Patrick Brama attended the meeting to answer questions about the TIF process and the project. He confi rmed that development costs have already gone up as time has passed. Due to soil issues alone, construction costs have increased by more than $100,000, he said.

In earlier TIF discussions, council members said they preferred the pay-go method of paying the developer as it collects revenue. The city will not put up money up front. Instead, the developer finds the money, then the city reimburses $1.35 million in taxes – an amount the developer thinks they’d need to be profitable – over 20 years with interest.

Council members, even those opposed to the whole idea, were unanimous about preferring a TIF period lasting less than 20 years.

“The shorter the term, the better,” said Montain.

“Let’s look at opportunities to get that number down. (Though I’m) opposed already, certain things can make it more appealing to get the length shortened and that number down.”

Council Member Michelle Lakso said, “If or when you go to the negotiating table, anything less than 20 years would be fine. Everyone did due diligence to give a professional opinion, and that’s what I’ll take.”

Council Member D. Love said, “I really like the pay as you go aspect, which is a nice insulation to protect us from things going awry. I would love to get it below 20 years and would prefer 15 years or less. I’d give up our 5% (annual taxes) to do that.

The $1.3 million plus interest that the city would pay would be lower too. And there would be other things I’d give up to do that.”

Koski said, “I’d rather see the marketplace dictate the development. If it’s a worthy opportunity for a developer, they should be able to do it on their own without taxpayer assistance.” The TIF development would add to public safety expenses due to more police and fi re calls that the rest of Centerville would have to pay for, he said. Koski also said he was concerned about what TIF would do to neighboring property values. If future land buyers also want TIF, that would defeat what the city is trying to do.

“If you have TIF once, you’ll have it again,” he said.

But is there a market, wondered Love. “The developer is hopefully smart enough not to build buildings just to not make money. And why is the city doing TIF? “It’s part of our plan for many years to have high density dwelling at that location,” he said. “We understand TIF – we just don’t like 20 years of it.”

“In doing nothing and nothing, we continue to get nothing,” Paar said. “If the city didn’t do things to that land and give incentives and considerations, there wouldn’t be Ruffridge-Johnson or Midwest Best Water or Centerville Storage in town. “The market alone has not brought development to those particular parcels at this time.”

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS The Centerville City Council took the following action at its Nov. 13 meeting: • Approved an ordinance pertaining to allowing accessory structures in the downtown district. At the Oct. 23 meeting, the council conducted the first reading to approve changes to language pertaining to building height in allowing accessory structures for non-residential uses in the district. Some of the language in the original amendment was inadvertently left out and has now been reinstated. Because the error was discovered before publication, another public hearing is unnecessary, City Administrator Mark Statz said.

• Approved a request from the developers of Bay View Villas (Waterworks site) for an extension to time of performance. With winter approaching, the city asked the developers to enumerate the construction tasks they would not be able to complete according to the agreement by the Dec. 31 deadline, due to the weather. The incomplete items include street lighting, a stop sign, a mailbox cluster, concrete trail connections (temporarily done in asphalt) and a storm sewer connection. None of the incomplete tasks were deal breakers, Statz said. Developers expect these items to be installed by June 29, 2020 and before the certificate of occupancy.

• After the required public hearing, approved a resolution adopting delinquent bills for municipal utilities, garbage and nuisance/city abatement services for the fourth through sixth billing cycles of 2018 and first through third billing cycles of 2019. These amounts will be assessed to parcel identification numbers through county property tax statements payable in 2020.

• Approved an Anoka County Community Development Block Grant authorizing execution of sub-recipient agreement for downtown municipal water improvements. This agreement will provide funding for the city to install water for low and moderate income residents.

• Approved the 2020 agreement for the residential solid waste recycling program with SCORE and LRDG funds, not to exceed $29,015 received from the state through Anoka County.

• Improved the annual embedded systems siren maintenance contract at a rate of $46.20 per siren per month. The contract is for monitoring the electronic activation portion of the siren from the county.

• Approved an encroachment agreement for a fence at 7028 Eagle Trail. The proposed fence encroaches onto the city’s right-of-way/drainage and utility easements in their side yard setbacks.

• Passed a resolution establishing Precinct 1 at St. Genevieve’s Community Parish Center, 6995 Centerville Road as polling location for the 2020 election year.

• Approved a Planning and Zoning recommendation to grant variances at 1617 Sorel St. for a four-foot fence not normally allowed in front yard, and which is also taller than the three-foot maximum allowed.

The applicant wanted the fence installed between her property and the trail as a screen between her dogs and trail traffic, so that her dogs couldn’t jump at the runners and bikers.

• Adjourned to closed session to discuss matters protected by the attorney-client privilege related to the development agreement with Ground Development Company for Pheasant Marsh, according to Minnesota Statute Section 13D.05, subdivision 3(b).

The council next meets at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 11 at City Hall, 1880 Main St. Loretta Harding

HUGO BITS & PIECES The Hugo City Council took the following action at its Nov. 4 meeting: • Held a moment of silence for Randy Kopesky, who was killed in a automobile accident Nov. 3. Councilman Chuck Haas explained that Kopesky was the chair of the Yellow Ribbon Alliance of the Lower St. Croix Valley and president of the Yellow Ribbon Network of Washington County.

• Heard from state Rep. Bob Dettmer (District 39A), who congratulated the Hugo Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network for its 10-year anniversary. He read a House resolution to the council and said, “You can tell the character of a city by how well it treats its veterans ... Hugo has good character and has done a lot as a city to make veterans feel welcome and part of the community.”

• Received a presentation from Washington County Historical Society Board of Directors members Tom Simonet and Sheila Hause. The two showed a video presentation explaining the society’s current $5 million capital campaign to build a heritage center in Stillwater to help preserve and display the county’s history. The facility would include exhibit spaces, climate-controlled storage areas, research library and space for educational programs.

Simonet said, “We have 31 communities throughout Washington County. We are going before each council and asking to help to support this. We have to capture, collect and preserve the history of today and tomorrow.”

Simonet and Hause requested the city consider contributing $10,000 toward the effort. Mayor Tom Weidt said, “I think this is a good idea for the county to put something together to showcase its history. We will work on this request and bring it back at another meeting.” Councilman

State Rep. Bob Dettmer (District 39A) presents Hugo Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Co-Chairs Phil Klein and Chuck Haas with a formal resolution recognizing the network for its 10 years of service to the city, state and nation.

Haas said he would like to hear feedback on the request from the Hugo Historical Commission.

• Approved a resolution establishing water and sewer rates for 2020. Last year the City Council adopted a resolution approving a pro-forma financial guide (budget) for water and sanitary sewer operations and established service rates. The guide needs to be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.

The basic charge will increase from $31 per quarter to $34. City Finance Director Ron Otkin explained in a memo that “the revenue will help offset annual depreciation and allows us to keep lower usage rates for lowend water users.”

• Approved a purchase agreement for $1 with Tony and Michele Harmening for the cityowned property across from City Hall. See the full story in this week’s issue of The Citizen.

• Accepted a donation from Rich Kettler of two lots

located north of 140th Street North and west of Fenway Boulevard North. Community Development Assistant Emily Weber explained that the two outlots, which were originally planned for a future phase of the Fenway Place Development, were never used due to a lot of wetlands on site and the need to extend 140th Street. City Administrator Bryan Bear explained that Kettler has paid taxes on the property for many years and he is not going to wait any longer for 140th Street to be constructed. Weber added that no specific use has been identified for the property.

• Scheduled a neighborhood meeting for the 2020 street reclamation project on Goodview Avenue from the city line on the south to County Road 8A on the north (Egg Lake Road).

The meeting will be at 7 p.m.

One will be to consider the adoption of the final 2020-24 Washington County Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). During the public hearing, the board will hear public comments, consider any recommended changes to the draft CIP and adopt the 2020-2024 CIP, pending any final changes.

The second public hearing is to consider revisions to the county’s fee schedule for 2020. Washington County’s fee schedule is updated annually. All fee changes are brought to the county board for approval. By law, the fee schedule can only be adopted after a public hearing.

The public hearings will be conducted at 9 a.m. in the fi fth floor Board Room in the county Government Center, 14949 62nd St. N. in Stillwater.

Washington County receives funds to combat auto theft Washington County will receive $71,200 to combat auto theft after commissioners accepted a grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce Nov. 5. The grant is for two years, and will run through fiscal year 2021. Washington and Anoka counties have received the grant since 2005. The amount fluctuates each grant cycle.

Washington County will distribute $33,100 to Anoka County, its share of the grant.

Mills will serve as county medical examiner Dr. Kelly Mills will serve as the Washington County medical examiner in a four-year term starting Jan. 1, after the board made the appointment Nov. 5. In 2011, Washington County entered into an agreement with Ramsey County for medical examiner services. In that agreement, Dr. Michael B. McGee was named the Washington County medical

examiner. McGee was reappointed as medical examiner in 2015 and 2019. As of Dec. 31, McGee is planning to step down from his position. Mills has served as McGee’s principal assistant for the past 15 years and understands the requirements of Washington County.

Sheriff ’s Office will work with state on Narcotics Task Force The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved a joint powers agreement Nov. 5 between the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and the Washington County Narcotics Task Force.

The Sheriff’s Office is working with the BCA to participate in a Minnesota Anti-Heroin Task Force program. Detectives assigned to the Washington County Narcotics Task Force continuously investigate illicit activities related to the distribution of heroin or unlawful distribution of prescription opioids. By participating in the program, overtime incurred by task force members related to opioid overdose death will be reimbursed. The agreement is for five years.

Sheriff ’s Office will receive communications trailer The Washington County Sheriff’s Office will receive a communications trailer from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), after the county board accepted the donation Nov. 12. The trailer is a 10-foot enclosed box and includes a generator with external fuel tank, air conditioner and a radio tower.

The trailer can be used to set up radio or data networks in areas with compromised communications or to offload low-priority radio traffic from the county’s public safety radio system.

The trailer may also be used by ham radio communications volunteers. The trailer is valued at $3,000 and will be stored at the county’s North Shop cold storage building.

We finally broke our streak of 18 days of below normal temperatures on Friday, November 15 that dated back to October 27. During this time we saw temperatures fall to as much as 23º colder than normal. Imagine that in January.

During our cold snap large area lakes had ice over much of the surface weeks earlier than normally would. My station dipped to as low as 1º on November 12. If you told me you dropped below 0º, I’d believe you. It was a nice rebound weekend when Saturday topped 46º. For now we’re setting our sights on next week and Thanksgiving and hoping the skies stay dry as we all head out on the roads. Safe travels in advance.

SNOWMOBILES: ‘Mr. Humble’ donates front yard to ensure safety snowmobilers to ride on the narrow road right before the blind corner.

Around 15 members of the snowmobile club spent Nov. 2 cutting through a forest of brush and trees on Richard’s property to create a beautiful trail that snowmobilers will be able to use this winter. Richard said he is also okay with hikers utilizing the trail in the warmer months.

“Mr. Humble” is the nickname Udstuen has given to Richard. “You don’t meet a lot of people like him,” Udstuen said. “These homeowners are going above and beyond the call of duty. We go through farm fields all the time. I have got 11 different people in Hugo that I have permission slips for (granting snowmobilers access), but most of those are farm fields.”

Although Richard is not a snowmobiler himself, he said both of his sons enjoy riding and he enjoys watching the snowmobiles go by in the winter — that is, when they don’t get stuck.

To commemorate Richard’s generosity, Udstuen said a couple of signs will be installed along the trail recognizing him for the access. Richard’s response was, “They are not going to have my name on it.”

that area much over there, and I was thinking if we can get them off the road, avoid that high embankment and just go around through there, that would be okay with me.”

The Houdes’ property is located across from 137th Street Court N. and right before the curve where 137th Street turns into Homestead Avenue N. Hugo Snowmobile Club President John Udstuen said that the newly granted access is a big deal.

“For seven years we have been making small improvements to our snowmobile trail that follows the ditch on the south side. Every year we cut down some trees, we try to push the trail deeper in the ditch, but that corner has been a massive nightmare for us,” Udstuen explained. “It is virtually going to solve more than 90% of our problems. (That area) has been a seven-year thorn in my side.

I am all about making things safer for snowmobiles, and I’ve never liked that area. We have gotten stuck with the groomer, snowmobilers get stuck all the time, so this is huge.”

Udstuen said the reason the area is so dangerous is a combination of the steep incline in the ditch and the overgrown trees and brush that force

Instead of snowmobilers having to drive on the narrow road, they can now wind through a woodsy trail for a while.
