Council Member Sweeney stated there was no <br />notification and no clean-up on their behalf. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber asked if the City of Centerville has an order of clean-up if this were <br />to occur. Paul Palzer indicated he felt the majority of this spill was contained and <br />cleaned up by the City of Hugo. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated he contacted several people at Met Council and the Watershed <br />District to gather information on this spill.

Mr. March stated the State Duty <br />Officer was aware of the spill and that nine (9) out of ten (10) were inspected.
