The US Treasury has now <br />finalized their guidance on lost revenue, which provides a flat amount for recovery by each <br />city, which is well above CentervilleÓs allotment. If funds are allocated for lost revenue, they <br />must simply be spent on general government expenses. Council has not made formal <br />commitments yet. <br /> <br />Annual Audit <br />The cityÓs Auditors will be engaging with city staff and elected official in mid-March this <br />year to complete our annual audit. This process ensures the cityÓs policies and procedures are <br />up to date with current laws and best practices. <br /> <br />STORMWATER/WETLAND <br /> <br />The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) will be conducting a random audit of our <br />stormwater operations system during the third week in March. MPCA audits are routine for <br />municipalities that hold NPDES MS4 permits; the permit that authorizes cities to operate <br />stormwater systems. The purpose of the audit is to verify the city is fulfilling its regulatory <br />paperwork requirements, as well as its environmental education program requirements. <br /> <br />The city submitted information about its educational program this week. The information <br />provided pertains to residential lawn water conservation practices, discounted utility hook-ups <br />for commercial customers, downtown street and utility improvements, and a well sealing cost <br />share program. <br /> <br />SEWER AND WATER <br />Commercial Water Connection Fee Assistance <br />As part of the cityÓs ongoing effort to help businesses through the pandemic, a new program <br />was introduced, cutting connection fees for city water in half, for commercial properties. If <br />you own a commercial property in Centerville that is not currently hooked to city water, and <br />are interested in learning more, please call City Hall. The program is offered for a limited time <br />only and is subject to conditions. <br /> <br />Wellhead Protection Plan <br />Staff has been working to secure bids on the well sealing for which a grant was obtained. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
