<br />City of Centerville <br />City Council Meeting <br />March 31. 2009 <br /> <br />Councilmember Paar stated that Centerville is a huge Garage Sale community in the summer <br />and he believes parking on only one side of the street would be a better solution. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lee stated that the Council should look into this further. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers suggested that the Council could have a Neighborhood <br />Meeting after they receive the police input. <br /> <br />3. Ootional Water Shut Off Valve Insurance for Homeowners Offered Through the City <br /> <br />Councilmember Fehrenbacher noted that the city recently clarified by an Ordinance that it is <br />the homeowner's responsibility to maintain the curb shutoff. He inquired whether the City <br />could offer an insurance policy to the citizens. <br /> <br />CounciImember Broussard Vickers suggested that the citizens could buy a monthly service <br />plan. She stated the City has to be sure the work is done properly and know the cost. She <br />added that if the City did not make it voluntary, they could figure out a cost and make it the <br />City's responsibility to charge the citizens for it but it would have to be an amount that <br />makes sense. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that the insurance could turn out to be pretty expensive, so <br />$3,500 would not be out of line. <br /> <br />Councilmember Fehrenbacher stated that he sees an advantage in making it mandatory. <br /> <br />CounciImember Paar stated that if it would amount to only $IO/year, he would defmitely <br />agree to it. <br /> <br />4. Lift Station #1 - Grinder Pumus Replacement <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that, along County Road 14, on the Centerville Lake side, <br />there have been a lot of problems with the grinder pumps. The City spent $7-8,000 on <br />repairs in the last year. The current pump was put in about 8 years ago. Public Works <br />Director Palzer suggested using a different type of pump. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz stated that a lot of lift stations utilize this suggested kind of pump. He <br />added that this would replace the grinder pump. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers inquired as to why the City would not then have the <br />same problem it had before, when it had this type of pump. <br /> <br />Councilmember Paar stated that he would like to see this taken care of quickly and would <br />like to have Public Works Director Palzer discuss his reasoning. <br /> <br />Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded bv Council Member Paar. to <br />anDrove the chanl!:e in DumDS.
