City of Centerville <br />July 14, 2004 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />Mayor Sweeney suggested that Staff look into purchasing the refrigerator at an appliance <br />store rather than Sam’s Club because they usually include delivery and disposal of the old <br />refrigerator. <br /> <br />VOTE: All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />7. Credit Card Use – Utilities, Permits, and Assessments <br /> <br />Ms. Paulseth asked whether Council would like her to establish the ability to utilize credit <br />cards for payments at City Hall before her departure. <br /> <br />Council discussed the matter and determined that it would not be cost effective to do so at <br />this time. <br /> <br />8. Preliminary Budget Report (2005) <br /> <br />Ms. Paulseth indicated she had provided the preliminary budget report as a first step <br />toward the budgeting process and noted that Council would need to carefully consider the <br />proposed capital outlay and prioritize the items. She then said that the Council budgeted <br />$139,000 for capital items and there are proposals for $250,000. The main item is a <br />proposed expansion to the public works facility in the amount of $110,000. <br /> <br />Ms. Paulseth indicated that the budget she provided anticipated a 3% levy increase. She <br />then said that she anticipated a reduction in the tax rate even with a 3% levy increase. <br /> <br />9. Bank Signatory – Resolution #04-035 <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Lee, seconded by Council Member Paar to approve <br />Resolution #04-035 as presented. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />10. Request for Program Participation and Support - Minnesota Water <br /> <br />Staff presented the request for financial contribution to Council for consideration. <br />Council discussed the matter and there was consensus not to contribute funds, as there is <br />no direct benefit to the taxpayers. <br /> <br />11. Condition of Trail – Apple Tree Square & Uptown Center <br /> <br />Council asked Staff to provide an estimate for the repair work that needs to be done to the <br />trail and contact Mr. Drilling to ask him to fix the trail or provide a financial escrow to <br />the City to allow the work to be done after the reconstruction of CSAH 14. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she would prefer that the funds be <br />escrowed. <br /> <br />Page 10 of 13 <br /> <br />
