City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes March 27, 2013 that Mr. Lutz had been given the 21' credit from this assessment calculation for the previous assessment. Public Works Director Palzer stated that the City looked at numerous programs when discussing the pavement management plan, understands that residents may feel that their street was neglected for regular maintenance. However, it was determined by Council that known streets that needed reconstruction would receive minimal maintenance. It was known since 2003 that Center Street needed total reconstruction and did not make sense to invest maintenance funding into it. Mayor Wilharber stated that he was convinced that mill and overlay instead of seal coating would be more beneficial as a maintenance program for the City. Engineer Statz stated the MNDot is even looking into mill and overlay instead of seal coating as a maintenance option. Engineer Statz stated that seal coating is no longer cost effective with the costs of oil and that sealcoating does not restore the crown in the road for drainage like mill and overlay does. Council Member Fehrenbacher stated that the City portion of resident property taxes has not been increased for two (2) years and the City has approximately $300,000 budgeted for the pavement management plan and he hopes that the budgeting practice and pavement plan continue for years to come. Council Member King stated that the Council has invested in the pavement plan so that it can budget road maintenance rather than assess it to property owners. Mr. Cory Padmos, 1874 Center Street again stated that he felt the separation of the road assessment and watermain assessment was an attempt to get around the state statute. Attorney Glaser stated that Mr. Padmos could file an appeal this evening and serve it upon the Clerk or Council. Finance Director Jeziorski read written objections Mr. Padmos' presented: "The Council has devised this project to hide $13,000 of the cost outside the assessment and only showing $4,100 for the pavement. This is an act to hide a real tax from the people." Engineer Statz questioned whether he had answered everyone's questions. Hearing no other comments, Mayor Wilharber closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m. III.
