City of Centerville <br /> Council Meeting Minutes <br /> October 10,2018 <br /> before Council on the 24th of October; and a concept plan for City owned property across from <br /> the Southern Rail. <br /> Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the Downtown Redevelopment Plans by both Damon <br /> Farber and the Beard Group, whether the plan(s) remain viable for such things as theme, general <br /> types of development, etc. Administrator Statz stated that he felt that a joint meeting work <br /> session should be held by Council, P & Z and the EDA so all that are involved in visions and <br /> decision making are on the same page and that this should be completed sooner than later as <br /> interest in the City owned property has increased. Proposed meeting dates and times were <br /> discussed with nothing finalized. <br /> Mayor Paar stated that he, Administrator Statz and Council Member Koski attended the recent <br /> Quad Area Chamber of Commerce event held at Kelly's Korner.
