City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />March 27, 2013 <br />that Mr. Lutz had been given the 21’ credit from this assessment calculation for the previous <br />assessment. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Palzer stated that the City looked at numerous programs when discussing <br />the pavement management plan, understands that residents may feel that their street was <br />neglected for regular maintenance. However, it was determined by Council that known streets <br />that needed reconstruction would receive minimal maintenance. It was known since 2003 that <br />Center Street needed total reconstruction and did not make sense to invest maintenance funding <br />into it. Mayor Wilharber stated that he was convinced that mill and overlay instead of seal <br />coating would be more beneficial as a maintenance program for the City. Engineer Statz stated <br />the MNDot is even looking into mill and overlay instead of seal coating as a maintenance option. <br />Engineer Statz stated that seal coating is no longer cost effective with the costs of oil and that <br />sealcoating does not restore the crown in the road for drainage like mill and overlay does. <br />Council Member Fehrenbacher stated that the City portion of resident property taxes has not <br />been increased for two (2) years and the City has approximately $300,000 budgeted for the <br />pavement management plan and he hopes that the budgeting practice and pavement plan <br />continue for years to come. Council Member King stated that the Council has invested in the <br />pavement plan so that it can budget road maintenance rather than assess it to property owners. <br /> <br />Mr. Cory Padrnos, 1874 Center Street, again stated that he felt the separation of the road <br />assessment and watermain assessment was an attempt to get around the state statute. <br /> <br />Attorney Glaser stated that Mr. Padrnos could file an appeal this evening and serve it upon the <br />Clerk or Council. <br /> <br />Finance Director Jeziorski read written objections Mr. Padrnos’ presented: “The Council has <br />devised this project to hide $13,000 of the cost outside the assessment and only showing $4,100 <br />for the pavement. This is an act to hide a real tax from the people.” <br /> <br />Engineer Statz questioned whether he had answered everyone’s questions. <br /> <br />Hearing no other comments, Mayor Wilharber closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m. <br /> <br />III. APPROVAL OF AGENDA <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber noted that Res. #13-0XX – Adopting Special Assessment on Improvement – <br />2013 Street Improvement Project was placed before them this evening and that Checks #27888- <br />27895 w/voided Check #27862 were added. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar, seconded by Council Member Love to approve the Set Agenda as <br />presented with the above stated amendments.
