City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes August 23, 2006 Council Member Lee stated he would like to see the St. Genevieve property remain open space. 4. Centerville Sesquicentennial Mayor Capra stated they would have their 150 year celebration next year. She asked if the Council wanted to form an ad hoc committee for this celebration and indicated she had some ideas the committee could work on. She stated if there were any citizens or business owners that want to be included on this committee, to email her or the City Hall. She noted there was a two story log house within the blue house located downtown. She indicated the existing home had been built around the log house. She stated she had asked if it would be possible to take apart the house, preserving the log cabin. She stated she was still looking at the possibilities and indicated this log cabin could be one the oldest existing structures in the City. Council Member Lee stated his only reservation would be the cost of removing the existing home and moving the cabin. Council Member Terway noted they needed to think about that if it goes, it was gone and there was no chance of finding out if it was significant in terms of historical. He asked the Council to be cautious and make sure there was no historical significance to the log home. 5.2007 Budget/Levy Finance Director Meyer stated he had studied what the impact would be to the tax impact on a $309,000 home and the impact would be three percent. 6. Potentially Dangerous Dog – 1742 Ojibway Drive (“Bandit”) City Attorney Glaser stated they lost jurisdiction once the dog left the community, and if Mr. Roloff remained a citizen within the community, they could work with him, but he understood Mr. Roloff was leaving the community to go to an assisted living care facility. He stated the City did not have to require destroying the dog and there were other alternatives they could look at if the dog came back into the community. Council Member Paar stated Mr. Roloff had named three incidents where people had been bitten and he believed the dog was dangerous and they had to follow the ordinance. Council Member Lee stated once there was an issue he believed the dog should be held in quarantine for due process and if the dog was returned to the owner, it should be micro chipped. Mayor Capra believed the Police should take photographs of the dog, but she did not believe it was necessary to quarantine and hold the dog. She stated she was not opposed to micro chipping, but they needed to follow the due process. Page 8 of 9
