City of Centerville City Council Meeting Minutes February 14, 2024 1. New Liquor & Tobacco License th a. NY Liquor, 7093 Î 20 Avenue South (Effective March 4-December 31, 2024) Administrator Statz stated that the item was placed on CouncilÓs Agenda under New Business rather than Consent due to that this was a new owner to the location and that there was a small judgement that was released without prejudice against the individual that appeared in the Centennial Lakes Police Department background check and that staff was not recommending denial due to this but instead desired to draw CouncilÓs attention to the matter. Council Member Taylor questioned the submitted background check results and questioned whether a background check was completed in the County where the applicant resides. Administrator Statz stated that the current check includes Anoka County interactions with public safety and the Criminal History section would show convictions and maybe not contact. He stated that the Council may request an additional query of the County where the applicant resides (Hennepin). Motion by Council Member Taylor, seconded by Council Member Mosher to Approve the Off-Sale Liquor and Tobacco License for NY Liquor Contingent Upon a Successful Background Check of Hennepin County Records. All in favor. Motion carried. 2.Contract Î Hidden Spring Park Rain Garden Revitalization/Maintenance Î Prairie Restorations, Inc. Administrator Statz gave a brief overview of the CityÓs acquisition of the property, improvements and the addition of the rain garden/filtration basin. He stated that the life span/vegetation growth has been overtaken by non-native species due to lack of professional rain garden maintenance. He stated that the quote contains removal of the existing growth and replacing with similar, native species plantings to the original plantings and to provide on-going maintenance which will extend the life span of the garden along with esthetics and ensuring continued filtration. He stated that the Parks & Recreation Committee is recommending approval of the contract and looking for volunteers to assist in the planting process, which would save some funding. He stated that the first year would involve planting and the second year would involve maintenance. Lengthy discussion ensued the necessity of long- term care, minimal maintenance in the past, lack of removal of non-native species and routine maintenance by a professional vendor. Council Member Taylor felt that this would be an opportunity for the public to become involved in rain garden maintenance and vitality with marketing during this revitalization. Administrator Statz stated that there are several grants available that could also be called to the publicÓs attention through the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). Jr. Council Member Sauber asked about the shoreline and whether that would also be revitalized. Administrator Statz stated that the area along the shoreline was a separate planting plan and was very purposeful and that within the contact those areas were better established, and that spot spraying of non- native species would be included. Discussion ensued regarding the fee stated in the contract versus what was stated on the Request for Action form. Administrator Statz stated that there were two options; the inclusion of volunteers and Prairie Restoration completing the entire project and an error was made by adding the fees together. Page 4 of 6
