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 Page 3 of 4 City of Centerville Council Minutes June 13, 2012 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).
