Tree Maintenance <br />With the progression of the Emerald Ash Borer, the city has been keeping an eye on dead and dying trees <br />on our property and along our trails. Several times a year, the public works department is canvassing these <br />areas to look for hazardous trees. We, then, solicit quotes and have a contractor take care of them all at once. <br /> <br />City Hall Parking Lot Lighting <br />Light bases and conduits have been installed. We are awaiting delivery of the poles. Once they arrive, wires <br />will be pulled, the poles will be erected and the lights will be turned on! <br /> <br />Centerville Lake Water Quality Project <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District, in cooperation with Anoka Conservation district, the cities of Centerville <br />and Lino Lakes, Anoka County Parks and the Centerville Lake Homeowner’s Association has submitted a <br />grant application for nearly $1,000,000 to help fund a water quality project for Centerville Lake. The <br />recommended approach to the project is to treat the lake with Alum; a chemical which binds to the <br />phosphorus in the lake, enabling it to settle to the bottom. <br /> <br />CENTENNIAL LAKES POLICE DEPARTMENT <br />Police Governing Board <br />All three cities have now approved the funding formula change and the amended Joint Powers Agreement <br />is in effect. <br /> <br />Patrol Union Negotiations <br />The City Administrators from the department’s three cities are negotiating with the Patrol Union on their <br />next contract.
