City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />March 12, 2014 <br /> <br />Mr. Charles Reinhardt, 1723 Meadow Lane, stated that he too had concerns regarding the <br />additional traffic and the speed of those attempting to by-pass construction. <br /> <br />Mr. Bill Kujala, 7341 Deer Paas Drive, stated that not one person within his cul de sac desired <br />the work to be completed due to the fact there was nothing wrong with the current roadway, it <br />was a cul de sac, did not have through traffic and presented Council with a signed petition of 12 <br />property owners of 14 parcels abutting Deer Pass Drive. <br /> <br />rd <br />Mr. Mike Garceau, 1871 – 73 Street, stated that he felt that the street in front of his home was <br />in good shape, did not need any maintenance and did not understand how maintaining the <br />roadway would increase the value of his home. <br /> <br />Mr. Dave Luke, 7026 Brian Court, also stated that he resided on a cul de sac that has limited <br />traffic, maintenance at this time was not needed and felt that within 3-4 years a new road would <br />need to be constructed anyway due to the poor soils. <br /> <br />Ms. Jodi West, 1825 Revoir Street, stated that the roadway in front of her home does not show <br />signs of deterioration, confusion over the City’s roadway maintenance budget, concern for full <br />reconstruction in the future and the Council’s long range budget planning for future projects. <br /> <br />After everyone who wished to do so had been given an opportunity to speak, a motion was <br />made by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member King to close the <br />public hearing at 7:05 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />The Mayor opened the public hearing on the Proposed Assessments at 7:06 p.m. <br /> <br />2. Proposed Assessments ~ 2014 Mill & Overlay Project <br /> <br />Engineer Statz stated that this was the second of two hearings held this evening with this hearing <br />focusing on the proposed amount of assessments and whether the value of the improvement falls <br />within the guidelines of the 429 process. <br /> <br />Legal Counsel Glaser stated that the cost of the improvement may be assessed upon property <br />benefited by the improvement, based upon the benefits received and he believes that the City is <br />well within the perimeters. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber stated that the Council is proposing $500 per benefiting properties. <br /> <br />Mr. Kujala questioned whether he would also be paying more in property taxes due to the added <br />improvement and questioned the process for the assessments. Administrator Larson stated that <br />valuations are unlikely to increase because of this work but rather would not increase until the <br />sales prices in his neighborhood justify an increase. <br /> <br />Engineer Statz stated that Council would be determining whether to assess benefiting property <br />owners, determining interest rate and length of the assessment. <br />Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
