Page 2 of 6 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes March 22, 2006 Mayor Capra indicated that this project is being undertaken because of the County Road 14 project to provide a looping access for citizens and businesses on the south side of Main Street. City Administrator Larson explained that the County has indicated they will provide some dollars for the moving of the ponding in the $100,000 to $150,000 range toward other City costs on the County Road 14 project. He then noted that the property to the st east side of 21 Avenue is participating by providing the right of way and about $150,000 for the street pavement portion. Mayor Capra indicated that a letter was received from Sheehy and they are objecting to the improvements and the assessments for this unnamed street project. Dan Krause representing Sheehy addressed Council and indicated that they have been there since 1984 and they recognize progress but this has caught them in the middle of an expensive assessment as they will not hook up to sewer or water as it is not needed. He then asked that this be done fairly and that all the property owners on both sides including Lino’s side be assessed equally and that they are not charged for any of the grading costs. Mayor Capra indicated that the assessment will be based on value and the City cannot charge any more than the value brought to the property by the improvements. Mr. Krause suggested running the road straight across rather than jogging it so that he only borders on one side because the property in that area is unusable to them with the setbacks. City Administrator Larson indicated that Staff would look at the issues raised. There were no further comments. Motion by Council Member Lee, seconded by Council Member Paar, to close the public hearing. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Capra closed the public hearing at 6:53 p.m. VII.

ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES 1.City Administrator, Mr. Dallas Larson City Administrator Larson noted that there is discussion on eminent domain and it has come to the attention of the cities that if the law is changed it may have a negative effect on some developer’s agreements but this City does not have any projects going on. City Administrator Larson indicated that proposals are out for removal of the water tower and those will be reviewed at an upcoming meeting. City Administrator Larson explained that when the City looked at the County Road 14 project it looked like there may be some question on drainage issues for the City and how they may relate to the County’s pond. He then suggested that some engineering be done to see if the pond should be larger to eliminate the need for the City to build it s own ponds. City Administrator Larson asked for consideration of authorization for engineering drainage study for the area involved with the County Road 14 project and the downtown redevelopment area. Council Member Lee asked why the study needs to be done on the existing pond that was recently dug out. Mr. Peterson indicated that they would look at it to see if it should be larger to accommodate more water. City Administrator Larson indicated that the stormwater fund is a little low and the City may have to loan funds to it until the fees come in on new development proposed for this year. Motion by Council Member Lakso, seconded by Council Member Lee, to proceed with an engineering stormwater analysis by Bonestroo for a total not to exceed $11,400. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Page 5 of 6 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes March 22, 2006 X.
