City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes August 27,2014 Council Member King questioned whether or not there would be a live band for the requested Oktoberfest event. Centerville Lion Greg Keiselhorst stated that they would be playing music but a live band would not be present. Motion by Council Member Paar, seconded by Council Member Fehrenbacher to approve Consent Agenda Item#9 as presented. All in favor. Motion passed VIII. OLD BUSINESS 1. 1724 Heritage Street—Water Connection Deadline Administrator Larson reported that subsequent to additional research; two residents had connected to the watermain in the rear of the properties (one due to well failure and the other met income guidelines for grant funding), the existing location of the watermain versus availability is fairly unique due to the watermain's location generally abuts the front yard roadway and a shorter distance to the home than in this case, and future downtown redevelopment. Motion by Council Member Paar, seconded by Council Member Fehrenbacher to Adopt Res.#14-OXX—A Resolution Determining Water Service Availability for Certain Properties as presented. Discussion ensued regarding language contained in the resolution which potentially could allow residents to repair their existing wells due to availability not being in the roadway which abuts their front yard(s). Consensus of the Council was that Attorney Glaser would draft new language which would ensure that connection would be from the existing watermain location in the rear of the properties if well repairs are in excess of $1,000 until such time as the watermain became available along Heritage Street. Council Member Paar withdrew the motion. 2. Lou Suski, Gaughan Realty, (Possible Offer &Update)—City Owned Surplus Property Mr. Lou Suski introduced himself to Council and stated that Administrator Larson requested an update. Mr. Suski stated that he had an offer from Mr. Robert Scott for 1691 & 1695 Main Street in the amount of$110,000. Mr. Watts desired to construct a restaurant/bar at the location. Mr. Suski suggested/recommended that Council consider adjusting the listing prices of all properties due to the delay in recovery of the market, reduced pricing may spark attention and the original listing prices may have been slightly high. Mr. Suski also recommended marketing 7030 — 20th Avenue as two separate lots with one parcel being 2.3 acres and the other 5 acres due to the location of easements/utilities/drainage. Mr. Suski reviewed listing prices and recommendations for listing price reductions as follows: 1738 Main Street was $145,000 desired to reduce to $135,000 (Council consensus was $135,000); marketing 7030 — 20`h Avenue as two parcels 2.3 acres and 5 acres for $1,395,000 which increased by $1,000 (Council consensus was fine with the modification); 7073 Centerville Road was $395,000 desired to reduce to $295,000 (Council consensus was $349,000); 7087 — 20`x' Page 3 of 7 3
