CITY OF CENTERVILLE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 30, 1996 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City Council of the City of Centerville held a workshop on April 30, 1996 at the City Hall. Acting Mayor Helmbrecht called the workshop to order at 6:05 p.m. PRESENT: Helmbrecht ABSENT: Wilharber Brenner Buckbee Powers - Rasmussen ALSO PRESENT: Carolyn Drude Dave Nyberg Greg Hellings School Water Project The council briefly discussed the optional assessment roll by frontage. They concluded that the benefit to the property is equal no matter how much frontage the property has. Heritage Street needs to be reconstructed and will be included in the 1996 street improvements. Mary Jo requested that a watermain be put in the street at that time. Dave Nyberg stated that the school is not prepared to go any higher for an assessment but is willing to negotiate payments. And although TIF money can be used for street reconstruction, Carolyn cautioned them about other upcoming projects that may require this also. Mary Jo and Theresa questioned the status of appraisals for 3 properties to justify the assessment amount. Trudi Breuninger stated that appraisals were not authorized to be done. Greg Hellings stated that the city would want a honest appraisal done for any contested parcels, they will be needed for the negotiation process anyway. Greg stated that if someone objects to the assessment they must have written statement to the city clerk on or before the public hearing. To perfect an assessment they have 30 days from the public hearing to do that in the district court. At that point it will then be negotiated with the city. Those present discussed the financing and/or bonding of the project and whether it would work to bond with the Clearwater Meadows project. Carolyn stated that if the city uses it own funds for the project a "reimbursement resolution" would need to be passed to restore those funds. CC4 -30WK. WPS 1
