City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />October 23, 2019 <br /> <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that in the past, it has been customary for Council to cancel the second <br />meetings in November and December due to the closeness of the holidays to meeting dates and <br />possibility of lack of quorum. He also stated that as Council determined the necessity of <br />scheduling work sessions on the second meetings of the month, these would also need to be <br />rescheduled if Council chose to cancel the meetings. <br /> <br />Attorney Glaser stated that a meeting could be called on three (3) business days’ notice if needed. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding revisiting the budget prior to December when approval was <br />necessary. Mayor Paar stated that the work session may have to be held over following the <br />regularly scheduled Council meeting is needed to complete discussion items. Administrator Statz <br />stated that there are a lot of items for work sessions such as City Hall renovation, storm water fund, <br />vehicle capital improvements and Block 7. Mayor Paar felt that non-priority work session items <br />could be carried over to their planned goal setting retreat and if diligent the work could be <br />completed. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Montain, seconded by Council Member Koski to Cancel the <br />Regularly Scheduled Council meeting for November 17 and December 25 and Reschedule <br />the Regularly Scheduled Work Sessions of Those Same Dates to November 13 and December <br />11, 2019. All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />2. Scheduling of 2020 Goal Setting Retreat for City Council <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that he will be unavailable for November 2 as previously discussed and <br />the next available date for the site was November 16. He stated that he believed Council’s desire <br />was to hold the retreat off site as it was believed that the setting would be different allowing for <br />more focused discussion. Mayor Paar stated that the meetings are opening to the public and would <br />be posted. <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that this meeting is to focus on Council’s goals and the future. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding the availability of Council Members, continuing work session items <br />on Agendas which generally are short (Jan./Feb.), high level planning and not “teambuilding”, <br />holding the meeting on a weekend, ability to provide input rather than reviewing the presented <br />materials, and direction of Staff to poll Council Members as to their availability. <br /> <br />3. JV Summit Corp., dba Southern Rail – 2 AM Liquor License <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that JV Summit Corp., doing business as Southern Rail is requesting <br />for the first time to be allowed to remain open and serve alcohol until 2:00 a.m. He stated that it <br />is required by the State of Minnesota for them to receive the City’s approval to apply. <br /> <br />Council Member Love stated that it was interesting that public input was not required for this item. <br />Administrator Statz stated that it is a separate license for 2:00 a.m. closing. Council Member Love <br />question whether neighboring residents would have a concern with the request, but felt that the <br />business would potentially see benefits from being open later. <br />Page 5 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
