City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />November 9, 2005 <br /> <br />3.Consider adjustment of park dedication fees industrial use for B and R properties <br />1/2 acreage unusable due to flood plain. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson presented information on the B and R property and the amount of land <br />required by the Rice Creek Watershed District to be set-aside as wetlands. The building <br />permit considered the entire parcel for park dedication, so the developer is requesting that <br />the dedication fees be reduced based on the determination that half of the acreage is <br />unusable. <br /> <br />Council Member Terway expressed his concern about making an exception for this <br />development, but went on to say this request is reasonable. Mr. Hoeft answered the <br />reason for exception here is that the Watershed District, as a third party, has made the <br />determination that the property is unusable. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Lee, seconded by Council Member Paar to approve the <br />park dedication for 3.9 acres based on the recommendation from the Rice Creek <br />Watershed District. With the stipulation that the Parks and Recreation Department <br />be made fully aware of the action of the Council. All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />4. Consignment of 2004 Chevrolet Dump Truck. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson presented that the 2001 Ford was placed on ebay, but this truck did not sell. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar asked what that bids were on ebay. Mr. Larson answered the <br />highest bid was $28,000. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee asked if the City would be taking a large loss on this vehicle. Mr. <br />Larson said the City would be within the planned margin of loss if this truck was sold at <br />around $33,000. He also said this truck is specialized enough that it takes a long time to <br />find the right buyer. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar said he is in favor of replacing the trucks every few years, so that <br />resale does not create further losses. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra asked what percentage would be made by the consigner and how long the <br />obligation to sell would remain. Mr. Larson said the consignment takes 4% and the <br />contract lasts 30 to 45 days. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Terway, seconded by Council Member Paar to approve <br />the consignment of the truck for the term of the submitted agreement. All in favor. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />VIII. OLD BUSINESS – CONTINUED <br /> <br /> <br />Page 6 of 9 <br /> <br />
