<br />City of Centerville Goals <br />Adopted May 23, 2001 <br /> <br />The Process (continued) <br /> <br />demonstrate success with small pilot projects that can be evaluated for the long <br />term. <br /> <br />. Infrastructure planning is a major concern of the Council. Maintenance of <br />roads, water, and sewer facilities must be planned with regular maintenance and <br />replacement before systems fail. Within this category are items such as a new <br />watertower, sewer and water line extension, pavement management plan, <br />surface water management plan, capital improvements plan, and storm drainage <br />and pond maintenance. <br /> <br />. Traffic management is another goal, but is focused externally towards the State <br />and Federal Governments. We will ask for assistance in fixing the safety <br />problems at 135E and Main Street. We will encourage the dialog to build ramps <br />to connect 135E and 135W at the .Y' north of Centerville. Council will take the <br />lead on these issues. <br /> <br />. Financial stewardship, budget allocation, and policy are Council's responsibility <br />and will be discussed regularly throughout the year. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE VISITS AND OPEN HOUSES <br /> <br />In February, Council scheduled meetings with every committee to inform them of the <br />ideas and solicit input. From these meetings a new document was drafted and <br />distributed to all committees, city staff and Council on March 19. Comments were <br />solicited to modify the second draft document. <br /> <br />At the end of March, open houses for citizen input were scheduled for Saturday morning <br />April 7 and Tuesday evening April 10. Funding was eliminated from the draft document <br />for the open houses as a discussion of the ideas was important not the budget amount. <br />Less than 10 citizens offered comments. <br /> <br />Additional Comments from Open Houses, Letters, E-mails: <br />Members asked at the May 10 Council meeting to review a final document reflecting <br />comments from the public meetings. Following are general comments from the open <br />house meetings: <br />. Is there a process to this goal setting? <br />. With an increased tax base, why can't property taxes go down? <br />. How can you afford to increase stipends for committee members? <br /> <br />!'\ <br />
