City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />May 10, 2006 <br /> <br /> City Administrator Larson explained that Bonestroo has recommended a substitution in <br /> City Engineer from Tom Peterson to Mark Statz. He then asked Council to consider <br /> acceptance of Mark Statz. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Terway, seconded by Council Member Paar, to <br />approve the substitution in City Engineer from Tom Peterson to Mark Statz. All <br />in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> 2. Review Complaint Procedures Regarding CDBG Funding Decisions by Anoka <br />County <br /> <br />Finance Director Meyer provided information to Council on the budget for downtown <br />and noted he met with Ms. Karen Skepper and she feels comfortable with the City being <br />able to receive block grant money this summer and apply again in January for the <br />additional $200,000 to make the remaining budget. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra asked for clarification on the grant of $200,000. <br /> <br />Finance Director Meyer indicated that the City did receive $200,000 and said he is <br />comfortable that the reverted CDBG funds will be received because they have a short <br />time to use the funds and need to use it for low to moderate income. <br /> <br />He outlined the grants applied for, received, denied and pending with regard to the <br />downtown project. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra asked whether storm water holding ponds were a concern and whether <br />Bonestroo is going to determine whether the ponds proposed are adequately sized. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson indicated that Staff is looking into that to ensure that the ponds <br />are sized adequately. <br /> <br />Finance Director Meyer asked Council to delay any further action until this moves <br />through the process further. He then said that he talked to Mr. John Swanson who <br />supervises to ensure compliance with County requirements and they have leeway as long <br />as they make priorities according to the five year plan the rest is politics so it is a moving <br />target with some flexibility in what they decide to do. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee commented that we need to play nice to have a hope of receiving <br />CDBG funds because this can get political. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra said that larger cities get CDBG funds and smaller ones have to compete <br />for the remainder. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra said she can wait until July; however it is against her better judgment to <br />wait, but she will conform to the majority. <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />
