<br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City of CentervilIe <br />February 27, 2002 <br />Council Minutes <br /> <br />Mr. Richard Thompson of 1657 Peltier Lake Drive indicated his first thought was he does <br />not need water but after reading the St. Paul paper and finding out about the potential <br />contamination of well water he thinks City water may be a nice option. He then asked <br />when the City intends to repave the street and add water on Peltier Lake Drive. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson indicated it would be sometime in the next ten years and indicated the <br />length of time the street can go without reconstructing would be the governing factor. <br /> <br />Mr. Rehbein of 1659 Lakeland Circle indicated Council has gone around and around on <br />the numbers and his first thought was that there was no need for water but after hearing <br />of possible well contamination he can see some benefit to having City water at the <br />development. He then said he is not opposed to the watermain extension but it comes <br />down to the money. <br /> <br />Mr. Rehbein indicated he did not feel the numbers thrown around at the last meeting were <br />justified by the value that is brought to the property. He then indicated he had spoken to <br />several different realtors and has deternlined that anything more than $10,000 per lot for <br />City water is too high. <br /> <br />Mr. Rehbein indicated he had gone back and reviewed the feasibility study and noted it <br />says the oversizing costs for the City would be $53,460, He then suggested the City <br />should pay the $53,460 per the feasibility study, the Main Street residents $4,000 per lot, <br />the developer $48,000 and DeFoe $48,000. He further indicated that his total costs for <br />water to each lot would be approximately $11,000 versus the $4,800 for existing <br />residences. Mr. Rehbein stated he would not contest that type of assessment. <br /> <br />Mr. Rehbein indicated he was not trying to be an obstructionist but is trying to come up <br />with a number that makes sense. He then indicated he had spoken to Mr. DeFoe on the <br />telephone and characterized the conversation by stating that Mr. DeFoe had said he <br />needed water less than Mr. Rehbein does and said he would challenge the assessment if <br />he felt it was unreasonable. <br /> <br />Mr. Dan Skoog of 1613 Peltier Lakc Drivc indicated he llscd to serve on the fire <br />department and noted the department has the advantage of being able to use drop tanks <br />and water from the area lakes for firefighting making hydrants not as critical as they <br />would be in other communities. He then indicated that the residents on Peltier Lake <br />Drive have paid for two roads and he is not interested in paying for a third. He further <br />commented that he thinks the City needs to evaluate its needs and determine whether <br />hydrants are needed for the entire City or if they are only necessary in certain areas of the <br />City. <br /> <br />Mr. Skoog indicated he had sent a lctter to City Hajj requesting that the City provide <br />residents with the ability to pay bills by VISA or by direct pay from the bank. He then <br />indicated he had not had a response from the City. <br /> <br />Page 7 of 24 <br />
