Mayor Wilharber stated that over the previous years with both establishments that operated massage, building owners/operators have felt that the renewal process infringes on the rights of owners and the fees are extremely high. The Mayor stated that the City’s current Code requires a background check by the Police Department, an annual inspection by both the Fire Department and the City’s Building Inspector. Attorney Glaser stated that there is a very high potential for illegal activity with this type of business and through fees, these undesirable businesses can be filtered out. Finance Director Jeziorski stated that through discussions with the Administrator, the Council may consider to offer waiving of the renewal fee for massage therapists if they are also the owner/operator.

The Mayor requested that research regarding fees, requirements and a recommendation be brought back to Council for consideration at their next meeting. 7.Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Grant Announcement Letter Mayor Wilharber requested that Staff research the possibility of applying for the Grant which outlines planting of specific trees with the City of Centerville for the coming year Page 4 of 6 City of Centerville Council Meeting December 28, 2011 and if it is felt that the City would benefit from the submission it be brought back for consideration. 8.Letter from Centennial Lakes Little League ~ Field #1 In Field, Laurie LaMotte Park Mayor Wilharber stated that the Little League feels that the newly installed in field grass was not properly maintained by the City.

Mayor Wilharber stated that the item would be addressed subsequent to Staff’s research. 9.Centennial Lakes Police Department Newsletter Mayor Wilharber stated that recently the Police Department completed their newsletter and suggested that Council Members review it on-line. Mayor Wilharber questioned whether the Council desired to have a Police Department representative (Officer/Chief) attend Council meetings on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly or when important issues arise)? Consensus was that quarterly would be optimal unless a more critical issue needed discussion for Council or resident awareness. It was felt that the Chief did not need to be present at these meetings. IX.ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES Finance Director Jeziorski stated that audit preparation will take approximately 2 months and that Council could expect financials shortly thereafter.

Consensus was to schedule a Work Session following the next regularly scheduled Council meeting. Attorney Glaser reported that the ticket program was proceeding well and that he would have a full report for Council at either their first meeting in January or second meeting in January. Mayor Wilharber reported that there was a potential for a $50,000 overage associated with the Trail project due to unforeseen issues and the State shutdown.
