Lighting in the Parking Lot - Councilmember Helmbrecht explained one night when she left City Hall and the parking lot was very dark. Councilmember Helmbrecht suggested looking at different lighting options for the parking lot. Mayor Wilharber suggested Mr. March have Mr. Palzer check into the different lighting options. Mr. March commented the street light on the corner of Peterson Trial was burnt out which may have caused the problem. However, the light has been replaced. Police Department - Snowmobile - Circle/Lex Police Department is looking to purchase a snowmobile. The Police Department is requesting $818 from the city which is one fifth of the total cost. The snowmobile retails around $6200, however if the order is placed prior to May 1, the cost will be about $4200. Mayor Wilharber realized this is not a budgeted item but he feels this is very important. MOTION by Mayor Wilharber, seconded by Councilmember Powers - Rasmussen to approve the City of Centerville give the Circle/Lex Police Department a donation of $900.00 contingent upon the purchase of a snowmobile.

Explaining Roger Moore from the City of St. Paul makes the decisions in regards to the dam. Councilmember Powers- Rasmussen understood the Rice Creek Watershed District was facilitating the meetings since there is no control over the dam. Councilmember Buckbee commented a controllable dam makes sense. However she recalled several years ago they opened the dam so it must be somewhat controllable.
