City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />August 27, 2014 <br /> <br />Council Member King questioned whether or not there would be a live band for the requested <br />Oktoberfest event. Centerville Lion Greg Keiselhorst stated that they would be playing music but <br />a live band would not be present. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Paar, seconded by Council Member Fehrenbacher to approve <br />Consent Agenda Item #9 as presented. All in favor. Motion passed. <br /> <br />VIII. OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. 1724 Heritage Street – Water Connection Deadline <br /> <br />Administrator Larson reported that subsequent to additional research; two residents had connected <br />to the watermain in the rear of the properties (one due to well failure and the other met income <br />guidelines for grant funding), the existing location of the watermain versus availability is fairly <br />unique due to the watermain’s location generally abuts the front yard roadway and a shorter <br />distance to the home than in this case, and future downtown redevelopment. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Paar, seconded by Council Member Fehrenbacher to Adopt <br />Res. #14-0XX – A Resolution Determining Water Service Availability for Certain Properties <br />as presented. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding language contained in the resolution which potentially could allow <br />residents to repair their existing wells due to availability not being in the roadway which abuts <br />their front yard(s). Consensus of the Council was that Attorney Glaser would draft new language <br />which would ensure that connection would be from the existing watermain location in the rear of <br />the properties if well repairs are in excess of $1,000 until such time as the watermain became <br />available along Heritage Street. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar withdrew the motion. <br /> <br />2. Lou Suski, Gaughan Realty, (Possible Offer & Update) ~ City Owned Surplus Property <br /> <br />Mr. Lou Suski introduced himself to Council and stated that Administrator Larson requested an <br />update. Mr. Suski stated that he had an offer from Mr. Robert Scott for 1691 & 1695 Main Street <br />in the amount of $110,000. Mr. Scott desired to construct a restaurant/bar at the location. Mr. <br />Suski suggested/recommended that Council consider adjusting the listing prices of all properties <br />due to the delay in recovery of the market, reduced pricing may spark attention and the original <br />th <br />listing prices may have been slightly high. Mr. Suski also recommended marketing 7030 – 20 <br />Avenue as two separate lots with one parcel being 2.3 acres and the other 5 acres due to the <br />location of easements/utilities/drainage. <br /> <br />Mr. Suski reviewed listing prices and recommendations for listing price reductions as follows: <br />1738 Main Street was $145,000 desired to reduce to $135,000 (Council consensus was $135,000); <br />th <br />marketing 7030 – 20 Avenue as two parcels 2.3 acres and 5 acres for $1,395,000 which <br />increased by $1,000 (Council consensus was fine with the modification); 7073 Centerville Road <br />th <br />was $395,000 desired to reduce to $295,000 (Council consensus was $349,000); 7087 – 20 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
