City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes November 28, 2012 awarded for construction. Administrator Larson explained that residents would have a period to pay off special assessments without incurring interest, the assessments would be placed on their property for a period of 10 years and at an interest rate of 4% and that this is similar to the procedure that was executed for the 2009 street improvement project. Engineer Statz stated that a typical assessment would range from $2,000 - $2,600 with an annual payment of $250 -$300. Engineer Statz also reminded Council and residents that both of the proposed projects were a part of the 2009 Street Improvement Project but pulled due to costs and resident input. Council Member Fehrenbacher stated that if the mill and overlay project was completed, it would allow the aforementioned streets to be included in the thin mill & overlay maintenance program going forward and with those costs covered by City funding and as maintenance rather than special assessments. The hearing was then opened for public comment, the following persons expressed their views on the project. Mr. Cory Padrnos, 1874 Center Street, stated that he felt that Council was not being forthcoming with hidden costs such as hookup charges, cost of contractor charges to install services from the curbstop to the home, the assessed value of the project and that he has a well and desires to keep it and not connect to municipal water. Engineer Statz stated that he would address Mr. Padrnos questions when discussions took place for the Center Street, Ivy Court and Sumac Court portion of the project. Mr. Duane Chase, 1823 Hayfield Road, stated that the he has experienced standing water in front of his home throughout the year and anticipates that this project will alleviate this issue. Mr. Chase was unsure as to whether his home was connected to municipal water services. Engineer Statz stated that the contractors would evaluate storm sewer issues and determine whether additional drainage venues would be needed; however if existing storm sewers needed repair that would also be completed. Engineer Statz stated that the mill and overlay would re -crown the road which would assist in the drainage of water to the storm sewers. Engineer Statz stated that Mr. Chase was connected to municipal water. No one else was present who wished to speak with regard to the improvement. Motion was made by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member Love to close the public hearing for the aforementioned roadways at 6.56 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. The Mayor opened the public hearing for the 2013 Street Improvement Project, Center Street, Sumac Court and Ivy Court at 7:15 p.m. Page 2 of 12 -2-
