<br />. <br /> <br />City of Centerville <br />February 13, 2002 <br />Council Minutes <br />commented that he felt more people needed to be behind the watermain extension before <br />he would feel comfortable moving forward. <br /> <br />Mr. Bisek indicated that the downtown area is a mixed use zoning which is unique. He <br />then commented that it is human nature to be resistant to change and no one wants <br />anything in their backyard but change can be good. He further commented that he feels <br />the revitalization of Centerville will benefit everybody because bringing water downtown <br />brings new businesses. <br /> <br />Mr. Bisek commented that downtown Centerville is the thoroughfilre to the Jake and, if <br />revitalized, would be a benefit to the entire community. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra agreed that the watermain needed to be extended but also agreed <br />that funding is not available for the project at this time. She also commented that the <br />widening of Main Street is of concern right now. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated that there was nothing that could be done at this meeting. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the matter should be revisited before next <br />year's budget is set in the hopes of being able to fund it for next year. <br /> <br />Mr. Bisek asked if there would be grants or anything available through the state or federal <br />government to help defer some of the costs. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg commented that he did not feel there would be any grant funds <br />available in light of the state budget deficit and the federal government's goal not to <br />expand its budget. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that CDBG Funds may be available. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson indicated the matter should be looked at for next year's <br />budgeting cycle and commented that Mr. Bisek needed to talk to people and gather <br />support for the project during the interim. <br /> <br />Council M~mber Broussard Vickers suggested getting something in writing from the <br />business owners asking whether they are willing to accept the full share if the City is able <br />to pick up the residential costs. <br /> <br />v.
