City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 9, 2003 Council Member Capra indicated the current City Hall was built with the option to expand on site. Mayor Sweeney indicated he was not saying the City has to have a new City Hall but there are issues with storage. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she would rather see the City sell the property to a developer that would develop the parcel in a way that the City agrees with to get the City's purchase price back as well as get the property back in the tax base and use the money to expand the current City Hall facility, if necessary. Council asked Staff to locate the old request for proposals on the property and revise it. Council Member Capra indicated she would like Ms. Paulseth to look into the TIP options. Mayor Sweeney and Council Member Lee indicated they did not want to see a TIF district used. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked that wording be included to indicate that the City may consider TIP. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she had a visit from the owner of Reel Manufacturing and he wanted her to tell Council that he is not in any way, shape or form negotiating for the sale of his property and he is getting a lot of negative calls from the public because of the suggested use for the property as a slaughterhouse. She further commented that the owner of Reel Manufacturing has said he does not think it is fair that the community should be striking out against him when they do not have all the facts. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she contacted Mr. Vang and indicated that the City intends to spend no more time on this matter until he is the owner of record on the property. Council Member Capra asked that Chief Bennett's concerns over the fireworks permit be added to the next agenda. City Attorney Hoeft indicated the state legislature capped it to keep cities from prohibiting fireworks by making the fee too high. Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded by Council Member Capra to direct Staff to send a letter to the state le2:islature indicatin2: that the mandated fire works fee is too low and the City is not able to cover its costs of investi2:ation and approval with a $50 fee. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Lee indicated he would like to have Staff determine whether the developer of Peltier Preserve has paid the filing fees for the 19 properties. Ms. Moore- Sykes indicated the fees had not been paid when she checked two weeks ago but said she would check with Ms. Paulseth. She then indicated that Mr. Gonyea took his final plat to the County for initial review before bringing it to the City for approval and was told he needed to come to the City first. Page 160f17
