<br />City of Centerville <br />City Council Meeting <br />June II, 2008 <br /> <br />5. Water Hookup - 7146 Shad Avenue <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that this property owner requested he be given a waiver <br />to allow the on-site well to be repaired. The property owner is willing to sign an <br />assessment waiver and agreeing to connect to city water by the end of2009. The property <br />owner would like to be included in the 2009 Street project if the City provides connection <br />to homes and specially assesses the cost. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser inquired whether they would offer this to other people with the <br />project. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra inquired as to what would be the purpose to not do it. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson replied that it would be more cost effective if the city is doing <br />many home services lines as opposed to an individual resident contracting for the work. <br />He added that the property owner might also have the opportunity to have it financed by <br />the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers inquired whether he was willing to sign waiver, not <br />knowing what that total number is. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that they would have to give him a "not-to-exceed" <br />number. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lee stated they would have to make sure the number is high enough <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that there is a line between the well, the yard, and the <br />house that needs to be repaired if the well is allowed to continue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that it would make sense to allow the waiver <br />agreement with a cost not exceed $8,000. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz stated that $3,000 - $5,000 would be the approximate cost if the city <br />did the hook-up, plus a connection fee of about $1,700. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra inquired about what the Resolution figure would be, regarding hook up fees <br />in lieu of assessments. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that it applies anywhere that watermain is available but <br />has not been previously assessed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Paar stated that he is all right with approving the property owner request. <br />He added that water is available, and technically, he should have to hook up. If he is <br />looking to get a better deal by including more people, the City can allow that as long as <br />they can get it done by 2009. However, if the City does not offer the option at that time, <br />they would still have to connect by the end of 2009. <br /> <br />Page 12 of 15 <br /> <br />12 <br />
