<br />City of Centerville <br />November 13,2002 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Ms. Marty indicated that they have no recourse other than to object to the assessments at <br />this point. She then presented the Mayor with a formal objection. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg read the objection for the record. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked that Staff verify the 10-day claim made in the objection <br />letter. <br /> <br />V. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Quebec Street Drainage Issues <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she had spoken to Mr. Palzer and found that the other <br />major drainage issue is Center Street but the problem on Quebec Street is that residents <br />have no place to pump sump water that does not affect either the neighbors or the street. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra provided information on other things the City has done to assist <br />with drainage and suggested that assisting the residents on Quebec Street could be funded <br />through the storm water fund. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she had discussed the matter with Mr. Powers and his <br />neighbor Mary and while she does not agree that the City should pay for everything they <br />have asked for she does feel the City needs to assist these residents with the water <br />problem. She then said she would like to look into using storm water funds to ruu pipe to <br />the back of that lot line and go as far west as the last house on that block. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson indicated she objects to doing this with this street unless the <br />City does it for Center Street as well. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated there is no existing storm water pipe on Center Street <br />and noted that the street would be redone in the near future and the water issues could be <br />rectified at that time. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated he did not care what was done as long as it was equitable. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that one property owner on Eagle Trail filled in his lot <br />and that affected the drainage on Eagle Trail. She then commented that Mr. Powers has <br />mold growing in his backyard because the water never drains. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated he understood the question but feels the City needs to take <br />care of issues like this for the entire City or leave it up to the private property owner. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated the problem creates a hazard in the street because there <br />is no place to put the water where it does not impede upon someone else. <br /> <br />L __ ___ <br /> <br />Page 19 of29 <br />
