<br />Paul Palzer stated the pond level was dropped last year to allow for drainage. Mr. <br />Peterson indicated he wouldn't be able to comment on this issue at this time but <br />noted the pond was in place to remove nutrients before the water reached the local <br />lakes. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated there are thirty (30) ponds in the City of Centerville and a fund <br />is in place for maintenance on ponds within the City to remove silt. He indicated <br />a capital improvement plan needs to be created to set a time for each pond to be <br />cleaned. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated an organic fertilizer provider is being brought to his <br />neighborhood to discuss the positives behind organic fertilizers and water quality <br />of surrounding ponds. <br /> <br />VIII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />Hunter's Crossing - Grading Plan. Draft Developer's Agreement <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson noted the grading plan was approved at the last meeting but the draft <br />Developer's Agreement needs discussion. Mr. March reviewed the revisions to <br />the Developer's Agreement with the Council. He noted the only concern at this <br />time is the contested assessments and explained the City does not want to be <br />responsible for those four properties. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft stated the developer is not going to go through with this development <br />until the assessments are straightened out due to the fact the developer does not <br />want to pay the full assessment amount. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked if the 429 process would protect the City from all <br />contested assessments.

He explained during the <br />assessment process, the Council should take into consideration the relative benefit <br />to each property and how it can be spread amongst all properties involved. Mr. <br />Hoeft noted if the developer does not want to enter into the Developer's <br />Agreement, he would have the option of completing the improvements at his own <br />expense. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft noted no approval was needed at this time of the assessments, grading <br />plan or Developer's Agreement. Mr. Peterson indicated the Plans and <br />Specifications did need approval to allow for the opening of bids on this project. <br />He reviewed the plans with the Council and asked for comments. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis asked who would be responsible for funding services <br />south of this development. Mr. Peterson noted this would be the responsibility of <br />future developers. <br /> <br />7 <br />
