City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes May 14,2014 1. Anoka County Fire Protection Council Joint Powers Agreement Legal Counsel Glaser requested that this item be tabled due to additional review and possible modification by the Executive Committee. Motion by Council Member Love, seconded by Council Member Paar to Table the Anoka County Fire Protection Council Joint Powers Agreement until May 28, 2014. All in favor. Motion passed. 2. Centerville Road - Utilities Administrator Larson stated that Anoka County is waiting for the City to determine whether they desire to provide municipal water and sewer with the project prior to receiving bids. Administrator Larson stated that four (4) property owners are interested in having the services available but only two (2) desired to connect right away. Discussion ensued regarding the potential for development in the areas where individuals have more than one lot, future development of the Vickers property, benefits of installation being anticipated costs of$200,000, which includes all costs associated with Engineering and in the future it would be more, healthy sewer and water enterprise funds, ability to be reimbursed by a developer associated with the Vickers property, the need for individual property owners to install/repair existing equipment if there were failure and costs associated with restoration would not be incurred due to the construction of the roadway. It was also noted that one of the property owners complained that he had been unable to sell his property because it is not served by municipal sewer and water. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the Vickers property, its current designation of Green Acres, potential for increased market value/property taxes, removal of the existing home if/when development occurs and bypassing that property with stubs until such time as it is developed. Engineer Statz stated that one home's basement would have to be served by a pump versus the first floor of the same building being served by gravity and all others along the roadway being serviced by gravity feed. Engineer Statz also stated that the watermain would be installed on the east side of the roadway and run under the roadway to service those properties on the west side. Administrator Larson felt that with the presence services in the roadway there would be potential for phasing the development of the Vickers property and new development along the roadway. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding budget reserves, "healthy balances", connection fees from those interested and future development (cost recoupment), two other areas of town that lack services, and clarification of that this part of the project is mill, reclaim, and pave of the existing roadway and addition of a 4' shoulder and concerns for future bonding for funds. Motion by Council Member Paar, seconded by Council Member Love to authorize Staff to Include Utility (Sewer/Water) services in Anoka County's Road Reconstruction Bid Process. All in favor. Motion passed. IX. NEW BUSINESS Page 4 of 7 4
