September 22, 2000 Father Tom Fitzgerald St. Genevieve's Catholic Church 7087 Goiffon Road Centerville, MN 55038 Dear Father Fitzgerald: The City of Centerville is currently examining downtown redevelopment and the need for additional park property and community space within the City. We understand that the Church ofS1. Genevieve is also involved in looking at the long-term needs of the parish. Whether S1. Genevieve's expands within the community, does nothing or combines with another parish has community wide ramifications. The City ofCentervilIe would like to discuss available options with the church. We would like to discuss the future ofthe old public works location, the potential redevelopment of that entire block, feasibility of vacating the roadways near the church, downtown redevelopment and the future of the agricultural property located north of LaMotte Park. The City currently does not have any plans focused on any of these items, but we would like to examine the potential of these possibilities as we explore all of our available options. We understand that many of the decisions would not be decided solely at the local level and that the archdiocese would be involved in your planning efforts. Would it be possible to have a joint meeting with the Centerville City Council and the Pastoral Council/Administrative Council or whom you would deem appropriate to further discuss some of these issues? We would be willing to host the meeting at City Hall. We look forward to your response on this very important issue. On behalf of the City Council, Jim March City Administrator cc.
