City of Centerville City Council Meeting August 13, 2008 Councilmember questioned the validity of some of the signatures. Ms. Powers stated that she objects to allegations regarding that and regarding some of the volunteers who handed out the information. Ms. Powers added that Public Officials are elected to serve the people who elected them to office, so they should listen to the citizens' concerns and display demeanor. Since this began, other issues are coming forward and causing much stress, so it is turning into a power struggle. She quoted that the City has over $8,000,000 in long- term debt, and this project would add another $7.8 million. Ms. Power also stated that she objected to the bike plan to go back into Mill Road. Mr. Charles Reinhardt, 1723 Meadow Lane Mr. Reinhardt stated that, in July, someone called the City to say he was chasing ducks.
