City of Centerville <br /> Council Meeting Minutes <br /> December 10,2014 <br /> roadway versus just the edges as completed last year and proposed assessments will be$525 per <br /> lot due to construction costs and inflation. <br /> Engineer Statz reviewed the roads that are to be affected are Dupre Road between Main Street <br /> and Portage Way, Brian Drive south of Clearwater Creek, Eagle Trail and Portage Way. <br /> Engineer Statz explained that the aforementioned roads would receive the typical mill and <br /> overlay and Robin Lane North, South, West and Cardinal Drive would have full bituminous <br /> removal and replacement due to its expiration of life expectancy. <br /> Mr. Tom Wood, 1946 Eagle Trail, stated that he felt the roads that received improvements last <br /> year are a disappointment due to manholes being extremely lower than the pavement and he <br /> believes that his roadway does not need maintenance. Council stated that they desired to be <br /> proactive rather than reactive regarding roadways and their conditions. <br /> Mr. Bob Hosfield, 6983 Portage Way, stated that he had concern regarding Portage Way and it <br /> being a dead end versus a through street which receives minimal traffic. Council explained that <br /> the project is normal roadway maintenance, provides a longer life expectancy than seal coating <br /> and if bids received during the bidding process exceed the proposed $525 assessment, Council <br /> will reconsider the project. Mr. Hosfield questioned the repair/replacement of the downtown <br /> colored concrete and Mayor Wilharber explained that many communities have utilized similar <br /> concrete, are receiving the same results and at an ample time the City will correct the problem. <br /> Mr. Michael Steigauf, 7070 Eagle Trail, explained his frustration with Council and his concerns <br /> that Council was not living within their means by assessing property owners versus maintaining <br /> streets with property tax dollars. Mr. Steigauf questioned the City's ability to install/afford a <br /> volleyball court without raising taxes but not provide its residents with safe roadways without <br /> assessments? Engineer Statz stated that regular maintenance of a roadway is more cost effective <br /> than an entire reconstruction which may cost thousands of dollars and also require the <br /> installation of rain gardens. <br /> Mr. Jerry Lucas, 6979 Eagle Trail, questioned whether all residents of the Eagle Pass Townhome <br /> Association would be receiving the same amount of assessment, whether the Association had <br /> been notified of the project and its potential assessments. The Council explained that this is not <br /> an assessment hearing but a hearing to move the project forward, it may be a appropriate to <br /> forward them a letter of the assessment hearing and that Administrator Ericson had spoken with <br /> a representative of the Association. <br /> Mayor Wilharber closed the 2015 Mill and Overlay Improvement Project Public Hearing at 7:09 <br /> p.m. <br /> II. PUBLIC INPUT ON 2015 Budget& Tax Levies (TNT Hearing) <br /> Mayor Wilharber opened the Public Input on 2015 Budget & Tax Levies (Truth in Taxation) <br /> Hearing. <br /> Page 2 of 9 <br /> 5 <br />
