<br />. Centerville City Council <br />June 9, 2004 <br />Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes informed Council that she and Ms. Paulseth were invited and attended <br />a meeting of the newly formed Downtown Business Association to discuss TIP and <br />different funding options for downtown revitalization. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson indicated that the hydrant on 21st Avenue would be raised on Friday. He <br />then said that 20th Avenue between 73rd and Brian Drive was scheduled for repair but, <br />after walking with the contractor, inspector and Mr. Pa1zer, it was determined that the <br />road is in worse shape than originally thought. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson indicated that the City budgeted $50,000 to patch it and add drain tiling but <br />it would cost $80,000 to totally reconstruct it leaving the curbs in and putting down a <br />standard gravel base. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated the assessment is fme as long as it is not being increased <br />over what was estimated. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson indicated the difference would need to come out of City funds. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked whether it could be done if everyone on the <br />street agrees in writing. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that it could be. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the City is already supporting the <br />project with a lot of public funds and she would not be in favor of using public funds to <br />benefit one street more than others involved with the project. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney commented that it would be benefiting the City in the long run because <br />the street would not have to be reconstructed again in a few short years. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that they would not be paying their fair <br />share for a reconstruction doing it this way. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra suggested that the project may come in under budget and then <br />they could be assessed. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked whether the City could pull this street and do it another <br />year. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that she would like to present the options <br />to the property owners to see if they agree because in a few years they would be faced <br />with a complete reconstruction. <br /> <br />Page 12 of 13 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />_ _ _J <br />
