Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City Council of the City of Centerville held an informational meeting on November 17, 1988 at the City Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of decreasing the flood plain area within the City of Centerville. Mayor L'Allier called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. Present: Wilharber, Neumann, Burgstahler. City Engineer, John Stewart, noted several points of interest with regard to this proposed project: 1. This meeting is not to promote this project, it is informational. 2. It is intented to facilitate communication between the residents involved and the City Council. 3. The 100-year flood could be caused by a downpour in Centerville or downpour and flash flood in Lino Lakes of which those waters would flow into Centerville. 4. The inability of flood waters to go underneath Main Street causing a constriction and back up of flood waters. 5. It is very important that the problem south of Main Street with regard to flood plain area not be moved to the north side of Main Street which is not in a flood plain area. 6. It is estimated that the process for revising the regulatory flood plain is two years and ten months. A detail of this time frame is attached to and made a part of these minutes. 7. It would be less expensive to have the County contribute to replacement of the culvert underneath Main Street in connection with a future Main Street improvement by the County. 8. Reduction of the flood plain is not simply a matter of putting in a larger culvert, the impact of the northern properties must be taken into consideration; the culvert should be at the right angle; stabilization of the banks riprapped; channel work and alignment also need to be taken into consideration. 9. Major dredging of the creek is not anticipated. 10. Proposed reduction of the flood plain area could also impact or benefit Lino Lakes. 11. It is possible that four culvert replacements could be involved in this project. 12. Cost of the feasibility study of this proposed project is estimated to be between $8,000 and $20,000 which is dependent on how much of the original model, from the original study in 1979, is available. 13. Until the feasibility study is complete, it is not known if the flood plain areas can be reduced. 14. Benefits to the property owners and the residents would be the elimination of flood plain insurance to some residents and also, the increased buildability of land in the flood plain which would benefit the larger property owners.
