<br />City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />April 9, 2003 <br /> <br />4. Tru-Green Chern Lawn <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer indicated he received four quotes and three were higher than Tru Green and <br />one was lower. He then indicated that two of the vendors submitting quotes had not <br />come out to the City but had used a map to determine their bid. He also explained that <br />the bid that was cheaper was from a vendor who had quoted granular fertilizer and that is <br />why it is cheaper. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney asked if the turf has been getting better and whether there were less <br />weeds. Mr. Palzer indicated it is much better than it was and this is only its fourth <br />summer so he feels it is in excellent condition considering there is no irrigation system. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded by Council Member Lee <br />to approve the Tru-Green Chern Lawn contract. Ayes - 4. Nays - O. Abstain - 1 <br />(Paar). Motion carried. <br /> <br />5. Resolution #03-022 (Peltier Preserve Improvement & Preparation of Plans) <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the City had received other letters asking for <br />water and whether Staff verified that the residents listed in the letter actually do want the <br />water. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she was not sure whether Staff verified that the <br />residents listed in the letter wanted City water but indicated that could be done if Council <br />wished to proceed with water in that area. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney indicated the City could order plans and specifications to add those <br />residents as an alternate to the plan. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft recommended that the City proceed with its original decision and if <br />the residents want water they can petition the City for the improvement and bear the cost <br />to do so. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked whether the letter should be considered a <br />petition. City Attorney Hoeft indicated it should not be considered a petition. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that she understands not wanting to <br />speak publicly but there was ample time during the process to contact a Council Member <br />privately, call City Hall, or send a letter before Council made the decision. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she spoke with Mrs. Lee and told her that, had she <br />called on Tuesday instead of Thursday after the Council Meeting, she would have voted <br />differently and then recommended she send a letter to Council for consideration. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft cautioned that the City would be expending the money to add this as <br />an alternate to the project for the preparation of the plans and specifications. He then said <br />that the City may wish to consider telling the residents that, if they do want water, they <br />would need to formally petition for it and those costs could be assessed to the residents. <br /> <br />Page 5 of 17 <br />
