Centennial Lakes Police Department <br />CLPD is currently finishing up their 2021 Annual <br />Report. Once it is completed, Chief Mork will be <br />presenting the report to the city council at an <br />th <br />upcoming meeting. On April 5, CLPD officers <br />attended required medical training with CFD, <br />covering the topics of Special Needs, PTSD, <br />Psychiatric, and High Risk populations. In March, <br />medical training covered Obstetrics Childbirth (and <br />the care of women giving birth), and the Culture of <br />Safety governing our approach to all calls for service. <br /> <br />FINANCE <br />American Rescue Plan (ARP) <br />The City Council reviewed information from the Finance Director regarding the eligibility of <br />certain expenses and the opportunity to recover lost revenue. 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 Auditors have been working diligently with staff to complete their annual auditing services <br />for 2021. <br /> <br />STORMWATER/WETLAND <br />City staff, partner agencies and consultants worked together to submit over 115 separate <br />documents to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) on Friday, March 11, ahead <br />of our random audit of our NPDES MS4 permit; the permit that authorizes cities to operate <br />stormwater systems. Our meeting with MPCA staff will be on April 12, 2022 and will consist <br />of a 3-hour review of our submittal. <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 />Contractor quotes have been received, two (2) letters have been forwarded to residents, who <br />in the past showed interest in having their wells sealed, to obtain their interest in participation <br />again this year, with an April sealing date anticipated. Staff will look for additional options <br />for funding assistance for those that reside outside of the drinking water supply management <br />area (DWSM). <br /> <br />The Minnesota Department of Health has now scheduled a kick-off meeting with city staff for <br />the implementation of the cityÓs Part-2 Wellhead Protection Plan. <br /> <br />
