CC Meeting Minutes Page four October 26, 1988 communications antennas will also be allowed to be place on the tower, motion carried unanimously. Motion by Wilharber, second by Fritchie to write to the Centennial Fire Commission and request that they coordinate re- evaluation of the Centerville fire rating with the City Clerk and the City Engineer, with regard to receiving the necessary information for such an evaluation (such as set plans and specifications of water improvements to the Insurance Services Office), motion carried unanimously. Discussion of efforts needed to prevent freezing of the water in the water tower during the winter months. The possibility of the tower freezing appears to be due to the unexpected sluggish development of Centerville Heights. John Stewart, City Engineer, advised that it would be normal for two inches of ice to form along the inside of the tower. To prevent further freezing, it was his recommendation that 20 gallons per minute be allowed to ~ flow out of a fire hydrant. The water would go into the storm sewers. The flowage would have to occur constantly from December 15 to March 15 of the winter months. The most critical time for the flowage is after dark when typically no household water is being used. It is estimated that will cost the City an additional $270 (excluding Public Works labor) to maintain this water flow through the winter months. Stewart advised that he would provide the City with a letter verifying the above calculations. It was his thought that the Public Works Director would be responsible to make sure that the water is flowing properly. Motion by Wilharber, second by Burgstahler that based upon the City Engineer recommendation, the running of 20 gallons per minute from a fire hydrant to prevent freezing of the water tower is approved and the purchase of necessary equipment is authorized, motion carried unanimously. Motion by Burgstahler, second by Fritchie to recommend that the Planning and Zoning Commission order water maps to be prepared by the City Engineer at a cost of $300, motion carried unanimously. Motion by Burgstahler, second by Fritchie to direct the City Engineer and the City Attorney to discuss with each other the proposed revisions to the proposed Assessment Manual and return to the City Council with an agreed set of revisions, motion carried unanimously.
