City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />January 27, 2010 <br />Councilmember Paar stated there are always exceptions that arise, which is one of <br />the problems with the ordinance. He added that no matter what the City does, <br />there is the matter of enforcing the ordinance and the cost of Staff time to add <br />minimal fines to residents’ property taxes. <br /> <br />The City Council discussed unwritten exceptions that the City currently handles, <br />sidewalks that abut the curbing, who is ultimately responsible for cleaning the <br />sidewalks, where the liability would lay, resident notifications with suggestions <br />such as sanding, what the cost would be to the City if the City were to clean them <br />and assessing the residents that choose not to keep their sidewalks clear. It was <br />also suggested to place signs in the early winter and add notifications to the <br />website, City paper, and newsletter. <br /> <br />After discussion, it was determined that Staff would continue to seek compliance <br />with the Code requirements for clearing sidewalks and will report back on special <br />assessments and present to City Council in the future for consideration. <br /> <br /> <br />3.Server Upgrade <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson reported Staff is moving forward with the City’s server <br />upgrade. Equipment will be ordered shortly and installed within the next few <br />weeks. <br /> <br /> <br />4.Coal Tar Sealer Ordinance <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson reported the City has received notice from the State of <br />Minnesota, which requires the City to update its ordinance prohibiting coal tar <br />sealers that are currently used on driveways.
