1. Approval of Rice Creek Watershed Cost Share Agreement
Administrator Larson gave a brief review of the implementation of a salt-brine anti-icing
project that six (6) local cities intend on implementing in an attempt to minimize salt on
the roadways and affects of salt in water resources within the communities. Administrator
Larson stated that the six communities are leading the effort within the County and
submitted an application for funding of $65,000 to assist in implementation and was
successful in obtaining the grant. Administrator Larson stated that Centerville’s portion
would be approximately $7,000 assisting in the construction of the appropriate storing
facility and associated equipment with the possibility of mixing the chemicals for other
communities. Administrator Larson stated that requirements for the grant funding are
reporting of storm events, temperatures, and public education throughout a 5 year period.
Administrator Larson stated that the public education element was extremely important
by explaining the purpose of managing use of road salt, including anti-izing with the
brine mixture and how use of salt may impact our water resources.
Motion by Council Member Paar, seconded by Council Member Fehrenbacher, to
approve the Rice Creek Watershed Cost Share Agreement as presented. All in
favor. Motion carried unanimously.

road salt management/ anti-icing project and including a commitment to training their
staff and educating the public on the new method and reasoning behind minimizing the
affects of salt within water resources.
Motion by Council Member Love, seconded by Council Member Paar, to approve
the Memorandum of Agreement for Sodium Chloride Management Program as

IX.ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES
Administrator Larson reported that the City is in the process of installing freeze
protection within the water tower and for the last two (2) days has been utilizing the
water interconnect with Lino Lakes rather than the water tower. The City of Lino Lakes
recently completed the same process; however, they did not utilize the interconnection
and experienced water issues that have since been resolved. Council Member King
questioned the activation of interconnect system between the two (2) Cities. Public
Works Director Palzer stated that if water pressure for either community were to fall
below a predetermined level, a spring-loaded valve would activate and allow water
flowage to that community. Administrator Larson reported that both communities must
test their water systems to ensure its safety protocols are being met. It was stated that the
water tower was emptied and would be refilled the next day, with it taking approximately
eight (8) hours to fill.
Engineer Statz reported that State Shutdown costs had been agreed upon with the
contractor associated with the trail project.
Attorney Glaser reported that the Ticket Education Program had just received all software
upgrades for June and was up and running.
Mayor Wilharber thanked Council Member Paar for his attendance of an upcoming
seminar in Duluth where he will be accepting an award on behalf of the City recognizing
the Storm Water Irrigation Project.
Council Member King stated that the Parks & Recreation Committee had recommended
forwarding requests for use of Hidden Spring Park, Special Event Application for the 8K
Skate/Run/Walk and their Goals & Objectives to Council for their consideration.
Mayor Wilharber reported that he attended the first Music in the Park event and was
impressed with the rather large attendance.
Mayor Wilharber reported that residents may see construction work within the road right-
th
of-way along Main Street, 20 Avenue North and South. He explained that the County
of Anoka successfully received a grant to install a fiber optic network throughout the

County to link government buildings. Council Member Fehrenbacher stated that the City
would be connecting to this service shortly and would provide the City with connection
to other communities along with the Public Works Department. Administrator Larson
stated that it would also allow for a server to be placed in a central location with many
communities accessing it instead of each community having their own. Mayor Wilharber
stated that at some point it is felt that these services will be offered to businesses and is a
great asset to have to attract businesses to the communities.
ADJOURNMENT
The Mayor adjourned the meeting at 6:48 p.m. to enter into a Work Session to have
discussions regarding the 2013 budget and Ditch/Rear Yard Drainage Issues along
Meadow Court and Meadow Circle (north of Center Street).
