City of Centerville <br />City Council Work Session Minutes <br />May 14, 2008 <br />Mayor Capra stated that the projects delayed from 2004 should definitely be completed. <br />Councilmember Lakso inquired about what would need to be done with the storm sewers. <br />City Engineer Statz replied that it would not be worthwhile to do the storm sewers if they <br />are not doing the road itself -except for the ones in bad shape. <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that forcing hookup to the water main was her <br />biggest issue going forth. She stated that, since the water system is working and we have <br />enough loops, it would not compromise the system if we do not continue to expand it. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the cost savings of doing the reconstruction without putting <br />in the water line; however, the residents would have to bear 100% of the costs later. <br />Councilmember Parr suggested that, if it was a full reconstruct, the water line should be <br />put in. If a reconstruct was not needed, the water line would not be put in. <br />Mayor Capra stated that the optimum time to put the water line in is when they had <br />development going in, as the road would already be opened up. She added that they have <br />to have a date in the Ordinance. She could call a motion to rescind that date or push the <br />date out further. <br />Councilmember Lee asked City Administrator Larson for a spreadsheet, showing the <br />costs for commercial and residential water. He stated that our water usage fee is not <br />adequate, and there is no way to enforce it unless we have adrop-dead date. <br />Councilmember Parr stated that residents are putting wells where they should not be <br />placed. <br />City Engineer Statz showed some slides, explaining different cost options -between <br />doing nothing to the full project. <br />Discussion ensued regarding only doing mill and overlay in some areas vs. a full <br />reconstruct. <br />Mayor Capra stated that they would have another Work Session to discuss trails and <br />sidewalks next Wednesday, May 21. <br />City Attorney Glaser stated that anyone who wants to challenge the assessment can come <br />to the meeting or do it in writing without an attorney. He added that the burden of proof <br />would be on them to prove the assessment is not correct. <br />III. ADJOURNMENT <br />Mayor Capra adjourned the City Council Work Session Meeting at 7:45 p.m. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
