<br />City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />January 22, 2003 <br /> <br />Council Member Capra questioned whether the storm water management fee should be <br />increased. Mayor Sweeney indicated he would prefer not to raise the fee at this time <br />because nothing has been done to the ponds and he feels it would anger residents to pay <br />an increased fee for pond maintenance when no pond maintenance has been done. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the accumulated funds will go fast <br />when the maintenance, which is scheduled to begin soon, begins. She then said she did <br />not think it would be too much to charge $5 per quarter. <br /> <br />Ms. Paulseth indicated that there is $297,000 in the fund but a large portion of that <br />amount came from charges to developers. Mr. Peterson indicated that it would cost <br />approximately $30,000 per pond for maintenance. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that she would like to raise any fee <br />involving Staff or administrative time by 5% to cover the City's increased costs. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers requested that trail dedication be removed because <br />that is a separate issue handled with the developer's agreement. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that Mr. Gonyea has worked with the City in good faith <br />and made all the changes he was asked to make on the Buckbee development. She then <br />asked whether the City could stay with the $2,000 park dedication fee for that <br />development. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that she had made it <br />perfectly clear to him that the fees would be increased for 2003 to $3,000 so she does not <br />think it would be a surprise to him. City Attorney Hoeft indicated the City could charge <br />him either the 2002 or 2003 and said he would handle that as part of the negotiations on <br />the developer's agreement. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Capra. seconded by Council Member Broussard <br />Vickers to approve Resolution #03-001 with trail dedication removed. park <br />dedication fees per dwellin2; unit of $3.000 or 10% of the property value whichever <br />is l:!reater or 10% of the total developable property. the storm water mana2;ement <br />fee of $5 and any fee involvinl:! staff or administrative time increased by 5% <br />rounded to the nearest dollar. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney indicated he did not agree with raising the storm water fees but agrees <br />with everything else especially for staff and administrative fees. Council Member Lee <br />indicated that Parks and Recreation had recommended wording for the park dedication <br />fees. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the language was $3,000 per <br />dwelling unit or 10% ofthe property value whichever was greater. <br /> <br />All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Council recessed at 8:38 p.m. <br />Council reconvened at 8:45 p.m <br /> <br />Page 6 of 18 <br />
