Finance Director DeJong <br />stated that the City is not anticipating a significant change in the amount for 2021. Mayor Love <br />stated that the City needed to be grateful as with COVID-19 the City may not receive anything. <br />Administrator Statz stated that the City relies on property taxes for its revenue versus other <br />communities that rely heavily on sales tax, state aid and alike. These communities are <br />experiencing difficulties keeping staff and funding essential services related to COVID factors. <br /> <br />2. Water Treatment - Manganese <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that the City of Lino Lakes and other communities are considering water <br />treatment plants. He stated that there recently was an article in the paper about them entertaining <br />constructing one and they have reached out to the City of Centerville to determine our interest in <br />participating. He stated that Manganese has been discussed for years but recently the Minnesota <br />Department of Health has stated that levels for infants should be less than 100 ppb with adults <br />being less than 300 ppb.

He stated that Manganese in drinking water was found to be a contaminate in 1998, <br />but at that time it was not warranted to be regulated. He stated, that now it has been reintroduced <br />to the Contaminate Candidate List (CCL) for the fourth round (CCL4, 2016). He stated that he <br />had spoken with Ms. Carla Peterson, MN Department of Health, who made comments that within <br />10 years she felt that increased regulations would occur. Mr. Capelle stated that it may appear <br />again on the CCL5, 2021 but there would be a period of time to take action. He stated that at this <br />time many communities are venturing into to very, very expensive systems to remove or decrease <br />the amount in drinking water.
