<br />City of Centerville <br />July 24, 2002 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the City was going to hire a public <br />works person to do this and Council took away that money. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she had spoken to the City Clerk and the Public Works <br />Director and it is a matter of coordinating schedules to get everyone to training. She then <br />said she would keep this item on her list to stay on top of it but said she cannot give a <br />timeline for completion. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked Staff to look into how much time the Staff spends folding <br />utility bills because she would like to look into purchasing some equipment that would do <br />the folding and compare the cost of the machinery with the Staff savings. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson said she thought the City had volunteer senior citizens for that at <br />one time. . <br /> <br />Mr. Wilharber suggested contacting Mary Jane Lang to see if she would be interested in <br />volunteering to fold utility bills. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked for an update on the Rob Sheppard flooding issue that he <br />had brought to Council. Council Member Travis indicated the outlet was finished this <br />weekend and it was low but it has been done to satisfy the watershed anyway. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked for an update on the skate park. Council Member <br />Broussard Vickers indicated that there had been no reports of problems at the skate park. <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated there have been no complaints from the neighbors. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked whether the City had let the resident know that the City <br />had looked into credit card payments and determined not to proceed with it. Ms. Moore- <br />Sykes indicated she had spoken to Circle Pines concerning it and that City absorbs the <br />costs to have credit card payments because it would not be cost effective to charge it back <br />to the residents. She then said that City sends out bills every month. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked for an update on the deed for the property at 1601 <br />LaMotte Road. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she had received a call from Mr. Tschida the <br />day after the last Council meeting to ask if Council was interested in purchasing the <br />property and she told him that it would depend upon the price. She then indicated that he <br />had told her that the appraisal process was not completed. She further indicated that Staff <br />is continuing to research the deed and provide a report back to Council. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked if Ms. Moore-Sykes had said the City was interested in <br />finding out the costs. Ms. Moore-Sykes said she had told Mr. Tschida that the City was <br />interested and he will get back to her on price. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked when the City would receive the 2001 new audit report to <br />include the $109,000 transfer. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Ms. Paulseth is working <br />on the audit report. <br /> <br />Page 21 of22 <br />
