drainage ditches. Administrator Ericson recommended that the pay request be held for
further discussion as Council Member King absent. He stated that Council Member King

Administrator Ericson stated the City of Centerville received a letter from Metropolitan
Council a letter of intent for Mapping Services Program. Administrator Ericson stated
the City applied for a $10,000 grant and the City received the grant. He stated after a
meeting with Met. Council member Sandy Rummell and Ms. Corrin Hoegen Wendall
informed us that the City is eligible to receive free mapping services up to 8 hours. He

2. Ground Development Request for Letter of Credit Reduction
City Administrator Ericson stated that Ground Development is requesting a $45,500
reduction in their letter of credit to the City. This is reduction that would bring their letter
of credit down to a total of $65,648. He stated that there are only 5 building sites left in
Pheasant Marsh 3rd Addition. Attorney Glaser stated that Ground Development has
several issues and legal issues with their developer's agreement. A lengthy discussion
ensued as to the tax forfeiture property, loss of tax revenue, lack of a homeowner's
association per the developer's agreement, lack of maintenance of vacant lots, snow
plowing and green spaces within the development. Council would like to see if Outlot E
would be able to be developed and staff research the surrounding neighbors to purchase
the northern Outlot A (which has a drainage utility easement under it). After a lengthy
discussion, the consensus was not to reduce the letter of credit.
Motion by Council Member Montain, seconded by Council Member Love not to
reduce the letter of credit. All in favor. Motion carried.

tornado drill. Mayor Paar stated that the Centennial Lakes Police Department Governing
Board is researching alternative ways of notifying residents similar to Amber Alerts
received on home phones, cell phones and wireless devices. Council Member Koski
questioned if the sirens were delayed. Administrator Ericson stated he would research
this item and report back to Council.
b. 2017 Fete des Lacs Festival Meeting, April 24, 2017
Administrator Ericson stated the Fete des Lacs Festival meeting on Monday, April 24.
They discussed the option of having Public Works assist the festival with moving the
Lions' food trailers, setup/tear down the stage and tent at Kelly's if the band was to be
outside. Mayor Paar stated that Public Works Department does help with the no parking
signs for the parade route and they also drive a City truck in the parade. Mayor Paar
stated that if the Committee is requesting help from Public Works and this requires over-
time; this item needs to be added to the next City Council Agenda in May for discussion.
Also, if Kelly's is going to be having music outside, they are required to have permits and
this item would need to go before Council in May.
Administrator Ericson informed Council that the Festival Committee agreed to have the
fireworks take place on Centerville Lake. This company has a barge that they will use.
He stated the Parks & Rec Committee has a GIS map of the area so they can show the
public where to sit for the best view of the fireworks. By doing this on the lake, the
Lions and other events that are set up at the park would not have to tear down for the
fireworks and they would be able to keep their operations open. These items will be
discussed at the May 10, 2017 meeting.
Council Member Love noticed that a proposed boxing event had been cancelled and
requested that if in the future it was determined to consider such an event, research be
given to the City's Code.
The Committee determined that a boxing event did not fit into a "Family Friendly"
event.
C. Municipal Utilities/Roadways — Overlay projects
Administrator Ericson stated that Item c. was an item that was in the packet from the last
Council meeting.
Item c was placed in the packet as informational as Council Member Montain questioned
the height of manholes and water valves for previous Mill and Overlay projects due to
resident complaint.

Administrator Ericson stated the meeting days will be placed on Council's upcoming
agenda.
