City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />January 26, 2022 <br /> <br /> <br />This is the second reading of Ordinance #121, Second Series, and Amendments to the Land <br />Dedication Ordinance. The ordinance provides clarification as it pertains to parkland dedication <br />and/or a fee in lieu of land. State Statute allows 10% per acreage, or a fee in lieu of land and fee <br />commensurate value of land and two to be equivalent. Discussion ensued about how fees in lieu <br />of land are calculated, noting that the city’s fees are reasonable compared to other cities. The <br />ordinance also provides clarity in reference to physical land/real property, understanding that land <br />dedication could be money or land, or a combination of both. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Lakso, seconded by Council Member Koski to Adopt Ordinance <br />#121, Second Series, Amendments to Land Dedication Ordinance (Second Reading) with text <br />amendments clarifying the language in the ordinance as noted in the discussion above. A <br />roll-call vote was taken. Council Members King, Koski, Lakso, Mosher and Mayor Love <br />voted in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />3. Eagle Park Tree Clearing <br /> <br />Administrator Statz reviewed the scope of work outlined in the quote from Langer’s Tree Service <br />for the removal of eighty-three trees from Eagle Park. Discussion ensued about tree removal, the <br />number of trees being removed, reason(s) for removal, potential benefits or liability associated <br />with leaving or removing the tree stumps and added cost of stump removal. Funding of the project <br />was also discussed as it pertains to priorities – whether it would reprioritize other projects like the <br />Skate Park, or entrance monument. <br /> <br />Administrator Statz noted that the project is recommended for the overall health of the trees in the <br />park. He suggested that the Parks and Rec Committee evaluated all of the city’s parks and provide <br />recommendations (more trees, less trees, clean-up, etc.). There was discussion about the tree <br />removal project in Eagle Park being a pilot program and request a potential for continuation for all <br />other parks. Administrator stated that Liaison Lakso could that Council’s desire for additional <br />study of all parks and overall tree evaluation of parks. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Lakso, seconded by Council Member Koski to Accept the <br />Recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Committee to Approve the Quote from <br />Langer’s Tree Service for Removal of Eighty-Three Trees from Eagle Park, not Including <br />Stump Removal.
