<br />City of CenterviIle <br />June 25, 2003 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />3. Police Commission (Update) <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney indicated that the police commission meeting was scheduled for June 26, <br />2003 at 6:00 p.m. at Lexington City Hall. <br /> <br />4. Other Discussion <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she would like the City to consider purchasing a <br />generator to be able to run the lift stations in the event of a power outage. She then <br />commented that there was a power outage last night and two homes had sewage back up <br />into them. <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer indicated there was a tremendous amount of rain that caused flooding of <br />basements and most of that water flowed into the sanitary sewer which should have been <br />fine but the lift stations failed because of the power outage and the City had no stand by <br />generator. <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer indicated that the City borrowed Lino Lakes generator but by the time it was <br />wired up sewage was backing up into homes. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she would like Council to consider using money out of <br />the sewer fund to purchase a portable generator and have the lift stations wired for use in <br />this type of situation. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that she had attended the League of Minnesota Cities <br />conference and found the topics to be timely and interesting. She then noted that <br />Centerville was mentioned as a small city that took a major hit with state cuts and for <br />being proactive in attempting to achieve collaboration agreements for police services <br />with other cities. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney asked for clarification on the letter about weeds. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she received an email yesterday and the property owner was <br />contacted about the issue. She then indicated that Staff would keep the complaint in the <br />working file and handle it according to procedure. <br /> <br />Council discussed removing the "or seeded" part of the developers agreement for future <br />developments. <br /> <br />IX.
