City of Centerville <br />City Council Work Session <br />May 21, 2008 <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers inquired whether a Mill and Overlay would be done for <br />Center Street and whether it would last 10 years. She stated that they now have a chance to get <br />water in at 2004 prices. She added that if they do not take that chance, what will happen to those <br />people in 10 years. <br />Mayor Capra stated that she does not know if they will be able to get Federal assistance for some <br />areas. <br />City Engineer Statz suggested that he would not do the storm sewers, as that is just minor. He <br />stated that they will last 7-10 years with Mill and Overlay (Robin Lane and Center Street). He <br />suggested no road improvements to Robin Lane and Center Street at this time, as those streets <br />are still drivable. <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that would become a yearly repair issue. <br />Councilmember Lakso inquired as to how they can get some Federal assistance. <br />Mayor Capra suggested sending letters to individuals that they are thinking about pulling their <br />part of the project. <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that she has heard people say they were too afraid to <br />speak out. She stated that she believes there are people here who have a different opinion who <br />are not speaking up. <br />Councilmember Lee stated that some would not want to speak up, because they are afraid of <br />their neighbors. <br />Mayor Capra questioned whether Councilmember Broussard-Vickers would support the project <br />if they approved the extra fee. <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers replied that, as long as they get the extra fee, and favorable <br />bids like Circle Pines, she would support it. <br />Councilmember Lee stated again that they need to start to determine the scope of the project. <br />Councilmember Paar stated that the 2 cul-de-sacs off Center Street are in pretty good shape. <br />City Engineer Statz replied that they considered drilling both. He stated that one-third of the cul- <br />de-sacs will torn up so savings would not be significant. <br />Councilmember Paar inquired whether, if they did Center Street, they could stub the piping to <br />that location so water could be hooked up later. <br />City Engineer Statz replied that one of the complaints people have is construction crews going <br />over new roads. He stated that he hoped Center Street would last 10 years. <br />Page 6 of 14 <br />
