Building plans were submitted to City Hall yesterday for a new industrial <br /> building in the Royal Industrial Park. Chicilo Homes is planning to build an approximate <br /> 12,000 square foot decorative block building on Lot 5. Their home building business would <br /> occupy approximately 6,000 square feet and the remainder of the building would be <br /> available for lease. They would like to break ground by mid - January. I have placed this <br /> site plan on the next planning and zoning agenda. I propose the public hearing to be held <br /> at the second Council meeting in January. This building should be a welcome addition to <br /> both the Industrial Park and the local tax base. Mr. Chicilo mentioned that Royal Oaks <br /> Realty has also sold the lot next to Lot 5. <br /> * The generator has been installed on the pad in the back of City Hall. It should be fully <br /> operational in the near future. Once the generator is fully installed, the City Hall will be <br /> able to function as an emergency command center for any local disaster that we may have <br /> to face. Hopefully, we will never have to use this generator. Half of the cost for the <br /> generator is being paid for through charitable gambling proceeds from the Centennial Fire <br /> District pulltab operation. <br /> * I have been told that the ice skating rinks are being well used so far this year. The first <br /> date for a community skating night has not been determined. <br /> * Snow removal in the downtown area has become a problem. The street right -of -ways are <br /> so narrow that the County is plowing snow from Main Street and Centerville Road onto <br /> private property. I am working on a solution with Anoka County. <br /> * The Centerville Lions have set February 10th as the date for an adult and youth ice <br /> fishing tournament on Centerville Lake. We are also discussing holding "Golf on Ice" the <br /> same day. This could be the start of our Winter Carnival. Who can we find to build us a <br /> small ice castle? <br /> * The Centerville Lion's will be holding their annual "Cadillac Dinner' on February 24th at <br /> 12/21/00 <br />
