City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes January 9, 2013 Administrator Larson stated that Mr. Palzer's memo addressed the necessity for completing this work by being proactive with routine maintenance and taking advantage of dry conditions of last year. Mr. Palzer identified four (4) storm water areas that would benefit from cleaning. Administrator Larson stated that additional costs would likely be incurred for restoration and the budget contained sufficient funding for the expenditure. Discussion ensued regarding collaboration with other communities for these services, utilizing Staff for these services potentially in the future and Staff's current duties and responsibilities. Council Member King questioned the contractors work documents and credentials. Administrator Larson stated that there would be a signed contract along with proof of insurance similar to any other provider of contracted services for City projects. Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member Love to award Olson Sewer with a contract for performing Storm Water Maintenance South of Houle Circle, End of Houle Circle, West of Peterson Trail & South of Prairie Drive in an amount not to exceed $20,811 as presented.

Ord. #62, Second Series, Amending Chapter 51, Section 51.08 Relating to Municipal Water Service Administrator Larson stated that this item has been discussed on several occasions by Council. Mayor Wilharber read the proposed amendment, "All property served by private water systems must connect to public water, if it is available, not later than 12 -31 -2017, except that where water is made available by the City after January 1, 2013, properties served shall be connected no later than 12/31/2021." Council Member King questioned whether there would be a conflict with how previous projects had been handled in the past and Attorney Glaser stated no. Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member Love to adopt Ord #62, Second Series, Amending Chapter 51, Section 51.08 Relating to Municipal Water Service as presented. Discussion ensued regarding resident opposition to required connection to the municipal watermain for both the 2009 Street Improvement Project and the proposed 2013 Street Improvement Project. Council Member King felt strongly that residents should not be required to connect until their existing well needed repair or they desired to connect. Additional discussion ensued regarding the ability to retain existing wells for watering lawns, gardens and internal home usage if piping was separated not allowing cross contamination.
