UNFINISHED BUSINESS Update on Main Street Flashing Crosswalk Lights Mr. March discussed an easement compensation request received from the Helmbrechts. The easement agreement is signed by Jerry and Mary Jo Helmbrecht and now they are requesting to be compensated $300. Furthermore, the He1mbrechts are challenging the validity of their signatures since a notary was not present during the signing process. Mr. Hoeft explained the Helmbrechts are not denying they signed the document. In short, the grant of easement is a faithfully executed document. Mayor Wilharber stated that for nearly two years the City has worked on the implementation of flashing crosswalk lights near the elementary school, and suggested for the safety of the children authorize the $300 easement compensation to the Helmbrechts. Mayor Wilharber moved to authorize a $300 payment to the Helmbrechts for the flashing light easement. Councilmember Travis seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Update on Lessard Property Floodway Classification. Mr. Peterson distributed a letter dated January 13, 1999 that included supporting documentation on the existing and proposed floodway for Joyce Greene and Lake Area Utilities. The information explained the majority of the Lessard property is within the floodway, as shown on the most recent Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). Also, Mr. Gerald Rehbein hired Mr. David Nyberg to investigate and implement floodway reduction in areas ofLino Lakes and the Joyce Greene parcel which is between the Lessard parcel and Judicial Ditch No.3. Ifthe necessary filed work, hec-2 computer modeling, correspondence and paperwork is being performed for the Joyce Greene parcel already, it may be advantageous for the City of Centerville to utilize this data and not duplicate paperwork and expenses. Thus, to hire HR. Green to complete the Lessard parcel floodway reduction FEMA plan. Mr. Peterson concluded that Bonestroo would need to become familiar with the FEMA and Centerville program; whereas, H.R. Green knows the history and has the equipment to complete the project and is working on an adjacent parcel. Mr. March reported that Mr. Dave Nyberg (HR. Green) submitted an estimate of $850 to apply for the removal of the Lessard (Lake Area Utility) property from the floodway. Councilmember Brenner questioned the Engineer if after the Lessard property is removed from the floodway would the property remain in the floodplain. Councilmember Brenner moved to authorize H.R. Green to begin work on the floodplain revision for $850.00. Councilmember Nelson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. 4
