selling the southern parcel at this time. Attorney Glaser stated that originally the cul de sac was

IX. NEW BUSINESS
1. Old Mill Estates Î Trail Construction
Administrator Statz reviewed the history of the project, stated that trail easements were set through
the development progression (preliminary plat, final plat, DeveloperÓs Agreement, etc.) He stated
that the home was enlarged and not accurately placed on the readied building pad accordingly. He
explained that the building pad was set by 30 feet from the front property line and 10 feet from
each side lot line. He stated that the trail is approximately 6 to 7 feet from the PalmerÓs property.
Administrator Statz pointed out the trail was not a late addition and part of closing documents
when the owners purchased the property. He stated that the development plan calls for an 8 foot
trail with a 4 foot retaining wall. The trail continues through lot 8 along the road into Acorn Creek
Park where a parking lot was just completed along with the CityÓs portion of a trail to the
development. Administrator Statz explained as of early 2021, the trail has not been constructed.
Administrator Statz stated that he had added email conversations to the packet for Council review.
Mr. Mike Palmer, 1844 Old Mill Road, discussed the planned 8 foot trail that abuts with an
easement on his property and its close proximity to his home. He is concerned about pedestrian
traffic, privacy, safety of his air conditioning unit/gas meter/exterior equipment and general safety
for his family. He also stated he has a signed petition by many of the residents on Old Mill Court.
He thanked the City Council for listening to his concerns. Administrator Statz stated all but one
property owner signed the petition presented.
Council Member Lakso welcomed him to Centerville. She discussed the hard work that goes into
the planning phases of a development, the CityÓs goals of connectivity of trails though
developments and all of its parks. Discussion ensued regarding decreasing the width of the trail
from 8 feet to 5 feet, making a minimal maintenance trail, City cleaning equipment being of 8 feet
in width for snow removal, having the homeowner be responsible for snow removal as a condition
for moving/decreasing the width, working with the developer regarding their monetary
contribution for the agreed upon trail to assisting in relocation of a bridge/boardwalk within the
nearby wetland, the City not having a contractual right to install a bridge or boardwalk in place of
a trail that was previously approved by both the Planning & Zoning Commission, Council and the
developer, the City not being responsible for the purchase of the property or any deception
associated with the location of the trail easement and construction of a privacy fence on the
homeowners property. Discussion continued regarding representation of all Centerville residents,
the DeveloperÓs responsibilities to complete required duties within the development per the
Page 3 of 6
City of Centerville
Council Meeting Minutes
September 8, 2021
DeveloperÓs Agreement, the developerÓs lack of fulfilment to date, exploring alternative options
(decrease width of path, possible bridge/boardwalk construction in wetland and cost, property
ownerÓs willingness for clearing a narrower section of path (near home), etc.
City Council agreed to explore other options, receive cost estimates, and gather more information.
Motion by Council Member Koski, seconded by Council Member King, to Table this Item
for Two Weeks. All in favor. Motion carried.

was in the publicÓs best interest.
All in favor. Motion carried.
3. Centennial Fire District Î 2022 Proposed Budget
Administrator Statz briefly reviewed this item and stated that there was a proposed 0% increase
and that each member city approves the Proposed Budget. Council Member Koski stated that
funding/expenditures remain steady while transitioning with the SBM administrative venture. He
stated that the joint effort has been working well and he anticipated that the relationship will
continue for some time. He stated that he did have concerns that in the future a 0% increase may
not be feasible. Mayor Love stated that the Fire Steering Committee participated in robust
discussions regarding the budget, that he felt it was very well thought out and unless unforeseen
events happen in the future there would not be any changes. Council Member King stated that he
has received positive feedback from firefighters, their desires to work with SBM and the direction
things are going in.
Both Mayor Love and Council Member Koski thanked Assistant Chief Peil and the Centennial
Fire District firefighters for their dedicated services.

II. AGENDA ITEMS
1. Downtown Planning
Administrator Statz stated that he desired to discuss with Council their processes, readiness and
consideration for future development of the downtown area. He explained that over the past
several years Tax Increment Financing (TIF) with no real interest after considerable amounts of
time were spent working with the developer and bringing the concepts to P & Z and the Council,
the EDA has expended funds for a consultant to study buildability/concept plans for a City owned
parcel and potential for existing owners retirement/selling of existing properties. He explained
that unless staff and council are on the same level precious resources could be wasted but on the
other hand if a developer came in and desired to construct within the zoning and code requirements
they are allowed.
He questioned whether the Council was comfortable with acquisition of properties or assembling
properties to assist/entice development. He stated that recently he was made aware of two (2)
downtown buildings that property owners were interested in selling and he has reached out to a
developer to inform them of the availability of the properties in an attempt to upgrade the
area with new business/building venture versus a buyer of the building using it as it has been. He
asked at what point does the City step in and affect change? He referred several under/undeveloped
properties in prime locations that maybe the city should consider purchasing.
City of Centerville
Council Meeting
September 22, 2021
Lengthy discussion ensued that maybe the downtown area is not where the focus should be but
closer to the freeway, possibilities of rezoning property if a particular development were to request,
working with the EDA and a consultant for concept planning, interest in working with a ÐmasterÑ
developer again, opportunities for small business grants, whether there was a goal to keep
everything within 15 minutes of residents, Centerville being a destination, will the development
of Block 7 recharge the downtown area, and priorities of residential property versus commercial
property.
2. Old Mill Estate Trail Update
Administrator Statz stated that at CouncilÓs last meeting discussion took place regarding the trail
slated for the Old Mill Estates that the PalmerÓs were concerned about with the close proximity to
their home. He stated that further research has provide the possibility of construction of a
boardwalk through the wetland area within the development. He explained that construction could
be completed in the area without impacts on the wetland. He stated that the boardwalk would need
to be constructed with posts rather than floating. He stated due to the posts costs would be
increased. He stated that Stantec had completed a similar project in Blaine approximately 5-6
years ago and is cost $40,000 plus engineering fees. He explained that if the developer were not
constructing the trail and rather paid the City the $3,000 to construct a boardwalk, those fees would
be applied against the cost. He explained that the property owner was considering options but
remains to have interest in the trail being moved. Administrator Statz stated that BlaineÓs
boardwalk is maintained by the City with more specialized equipment similar to a gator.
Administrator Statz stated that he had discussed grant options with Rice Creek Watershed and
there were no grant options available.
Discussion ensued regarding narrowing the proposed trail, inability to maintain a narrower trail
with existing equipment, boardwalk being a part of the cityÓs infrastructure and not privately
constructed, constructing the trail as originally designed, assessing property owners for the
construction of a boardwalk and ongoing maintenance if paid for privately.
Administrator Statz stated that he is waiting for a true cost estimate for construction of a boardwalk
and would discuss options for the trail/boardwalk with the property owner to gain their input. He
stated that the item would be placed on the next agenda for further discussion if the property owner
remained interested.
3. Junior Council Member
Administrator Statz stated that the Mayor brought the idea of a Junior Council Member forward,
that he had completed research with the League of MN Cities, the Minnesota Youth Council and
other online resources. He reported that most programs involve junior committee members rather
than council members. He reported that he found a program in Pennsylvania and reviewed several
of their bullet points: non-voting, seated with the full council, actively participate in meetings, etc.
Discussion ensued regarding paying a stipend, running program through Centennial High School,
Civic student, receiving a grade or extra credit for participation, following Roberts Rules of Order,
school session/summer, commencing the position immediately and completing additional research
regarding length of PennsylvaniaÓs program.

cancellation of certain debt levies, truth and taxation hearing, working on city priorities that the
residents have come to expect, adding a staff position to ease burden on existing staff, adjusted
line items in the budget, finalized the police and fire budget, and suggested a 2.7 % property tax
levy increase. He stated that the budget was solid and meets city priorities. He explained that if
Council chose to approve the resolution, the levy could only be reduced and not increased in

equates to approximately $73,000. Council Member King stated he would rather see a 0% increase
but is satisfied with 2.7% in order to reduce or eliminate city debt. Mayor Love explained he

Council Meeting
September 22, 2021
Administrator Statz explained that there is some conflict between Sutton Transport and Mr.
Rehbein in regards to who is responsible for certain fees (i.e. water connection, sewer connection,
park dedication and sanitary sewer fees. He stated that the DeveloperÓs agreement is similar to the
Rehbein Commercial agreement but this is for one (1) lot. He reported that the agreement is for
infrastructure and that City Code states at time of subdivision fees will be paid but an agreement
may be made between seller and buyer similar to this situation. He explained that certain fees are
allowed to be a part of the building permit and paid by the owner/contractor. The developerÓs
agreement is only for public infrastructure. Attorney Glaser recommended approval of the
DeveloperÓs agreement and to empower him to make modifications, if necessary.
Several members of council suggestion that a mutual agreement between developer and buyer be
made prior to council consideration.
Mr. Gerald Rehbein, 43896 Brandon Road, Bove, MN, stated his opposition to the agreement,

being difficult to work with versus other communities.

S NOWPLOWING P OLICY
02/08/201702/09/2022
1. Introduction
The city of Centerville believes it is in the best interest of the residents for the city to
assume basic responsibility for control of snow and ice on city streets and bituminous trails.
Reasonable ice and snow control is necessary for routine travel and emergency services.
The city will provide such control in a safe and cost effective manner, keeping in mind
safety, budget, personnel, and environmental concerns. The city will use city employees,
equipment, and/or private contractors to provide this service. Road conditions are
monitored by the Public Works Department in conjunction with the Centennial Lakes
Police Department and the weather service.
GOALS
A. Provide access to emergency vehicles during weather events.
B. Maintain streets in safe driving condition, before, during, and after weather
Commented \[MS1\]: This is meant to address the comments

about ongoing snow removal operations (e.g. plowing slush on a
C. Provide reasonable and timely access for residents leaving for and returning
warm day, etc.)
from work.
D. Perform snow and ice control in an efficient and cost- effective manner.
E. To have streets plowed to full width as soon as possible within 8 hours after
snow has quit falling during a typical snowfall event.
F. Provide access to city trails once all streets have been cleared.
2. When will city start snow or ice control operations?
The Public Works Director will decide when to begin snow or ice control operations. The
criteria for that decision are:
A. Snow accumulation of 1.5 inches or more;
B. Drifting of snow that causes problems for travel;
C. Icy conditions which that seriously affect travel; and
D. Time of snowfall in relationship to heavy use of streets. Any weather condition(s)
which that impacts public safety.
E. Plowing will generally begin such that collector streets are plowed as soon as
possibleby 6:00 a.m. following a snow fall event. Plowing of neighborhood streets
will commence following completion of the collector streets.
Snow and ice control operations are expensive and involve the use of limited personnel and
equipment. Consequently, snowplowing operations will not generally be conducted for
snowfall of less than 1.5 inches.
3. How snow will be plowed
S:\\Administration\\Policies\\Snowplowing Policy 2017v1revisions.docS:\\Administration\\Policies\\Snowplowing Policy 202217v1.doc
1
Snow will be plowed in a manner so as to minimize any traffic obstructions. The center of
the roadway will be plowed first. The snow shall then be pushed from left to right. The
discharge shall go onto the boulevard area of the street. When a plow goes on a bridge, the
driver shall slow down so snow does not go over the bridge, if possible. In times of
extreme snowfall, streets will not always immediately be able to be completely cleared of
snow.
4. Snow Hauling
The Public Works Director will determine when snow will be removed from the area by
truck. Such snow removal will occur in areas where there is no room on the boulevard for
snow storage and in areas where accumulated piles of snow create a hazardous condition.
Snow removal operations will not commence until other snowplowing operations have
been completed. Snow removal operations may also be delayed depending on weather
conditions, personnel, and budget availability. The snow will be removed and hauled to a
snow storage area. The snow storage area will be located so as to minimize environmental
problems.
5. Priorities and schedule for which streets will be plowed
The city has classified city streets based on the street function, traffic volume, and
importance to the welfare of the community. Those streets classified as ÐSnow Plow
Collector RoutesÑ will be plowed first. These are high volume routes, which connect major
sections of the city and provide access for emergency fire, police, and medical services.
Snow Plow Collector Routes will be monitored and may be re-plowed as necessary.
The second priority will be drives and parking areas for the Fire Station and those streets
providing access to schools and commercial businesses.
The third priority streets are low volume residential streets.
The fourth priority areas are alleys, cul-de-sacs, and city parking lots.
After all streets have been cleared, snow removal on trails will begin.
6. Work schedule for snowplow operators
Snowplow operators will be expected to work eight-hour shifts. When conditions and
service requirements to the public warrant, the Public Works Director may start shifts at a
different time than normal and may conclude work after eight hours. In severe snow
emergencies, operators sometimes have to work in excess of more than eight-hour shifts.
However, because of budget and safety concerns, no operator shall work more than a
twelve-hour shift in any twenty-four hour period. Operators will take a fifteen-minute
break every two hours with a half-hour meal break after four hours. After a twelve-hour
day, the operators will be replaced if additional qualified personnel are available. All work
schedules shall be subject to the collective bargaining agreement then in effect.
7. Weather conditions
S:\\Administration\\Policies\\Snowplowing Policy 2017v1revisions.docS:\\Administration\\Policies\\Snowplowing Policy 202217v1.doc
2
Snow and ice control operations will be conducted only when weather conditions do not
endanger the safety of city employees and equipment. Factors that may delay snow and ice
control operations include: severe cold, significant winds, and limited visibility.
8. Use of sand, salt, and other chemicals
The City has determined that sand as a means of controlling icy road conditions is more
expensive than use of salt (sodium chloride) alone and that except in extremely cold
conditions, use of salt alone is more effective in establishing safe streets. Sand remaining
on the road is very costly to pick up and dispose of and while on the road may actually
impede traction and increase stopping distances. Sand can clog storm sewers, ditches and
ponds. As such, salt is the preferred material to control icing of roads, and sand will
generally not be used. Streets may be pretreated with salt-brine before a weather event.
The City recognizes that winter deicing materials, especially chlorides, can have a
detrimental effect on the environment due to the possibility of them remaining in ponds and
lakes increasing concentration over time. As such, the City determines that the use of these
materials should be managed carefully in order to use just enough material to provide safe
streets. It should not be expected that the city will have bare pavements, but rather the goal
will be to have bare pavements approaching intersections and in school zones.
Material should be placed on the crown of road on residential streets, allowing traffic to
carry it to curbside. Ice control materials applied along major roads may be placed for total
lane width coverage.
Materials should not be applied during plowing operations until the final pass except for
intersections, stop signs, major roads, and school zones.
In residential areas, materials should be applied approximately one hundred (100) feet
before each intersection with a stop sign, depending upon the conditions present at each
particular location. Distances on major roads may double, depending on posted speeds,
number of lanes and other circumstances.
9. Sidewalks and Trails
Concrete Sidewalks abutting private property are the primary responsibility of the abutting
property owner who shall keep them clear of snow and ice in accordance with City Code.
Bituminous Trails shall be the responsibility of the City. A map of these routes is

Sidewalk and trailTrail snow removal will be completed during non-overtime hours
whenever possible, with the understanding that streets will be given higher priority over
sidewalks and trails. The criteria for implementing sidewalk and trail snow removal

operations are as follows:
Snow accumulation of 1.5three inches or more
Drifting of snow that causes problems for pedestrian travel
Additional snowfall of 1.5 three inches or more is not expected within 48 hours
of normal commencement
Level of Service
City owned maintained sidewalks and trails shall be cleared of snow to a width of
60", one time following a snow event of three inches or more. Traction control
materials, such as sand, salt and de-icing agents will not be applied to sidewalk or trail
surfaces. It is expected that City-owned sidewalks and trails may have few, if any, bare
pavement spots. The snow removed shall be discharged alongside sidewalks and trails in

events
C. Provide reasonable and timely access for residents leaving for and returning
from work.
D. Perform snow and ice control in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
E. To have streets plowed to full width as soon as possible after snow has quit
falling during a typical snowfall event.
F. Provide access to city trails once all streets have been cleared.
2. When will city start snow or ice control operations?
The Public Works Director will decide when to begin snow or ice control operations. The
criteria for that decision are:
A. Snow accumulation of 1.5 inches or more;
B. Drifting of snow that causes problems for travel;
C. Icy conditions that seriously affect travel; and
D. Time of snowfall in relationship to heavy use of streets. Any weather condition(s)
that impacts public safety.
E. Plowing will generally begin such that collector streets are plowed as soon as
possible following a snow fall event. Plowing of neighborhood streets will
commence following completion of the collector streets.
Snow and ice control operations are expensive and involve the use of limited personnel and
equipment. Consequently, snowplowing operations will not generally be conducted for
snowfall of less than 1.5 inches.
3. How snow will be plowed
Snow will be plowed in a manner so as to minimize any traffic obstructions. The center of
S:\\Administration\\Policies\\Snowplowing Policy 2017v1revisions.doc
1
the roadway will be plowed first. The snow shall then be pushed from left to right. The
discharge shall go onto the boulevard area of the street. When a plow goes on a bridge, the
driver shall slow down so snow does not go over the bridge, if possible. In times of extreme
snowfall, streets will not always immediately be able to be completely cleared of snow.
4. Snow Hauling
The Public Works Director will determine when snow will be removed from the area by
truck. Such snow removal will occur in areas where there is no room on the boulevard for
snow storage and in areas where accumulated piles of snow create a hazardous condition.
Snow removal operations will not commence until other snowplowing operations have
been completed. Snow removal operations may also be delayed depending on weather
conditions, personnel, and budget availability. The snow will be removed and hauled to a
snow storage area. The snow storage area will be located to minimize environmental
problems.
5. Priorities and schedule for which streets will be plowed
The city has classified city streets based on the street function, traffic volume, and
importance to the welfare of the community. Those streets classified as ÐSnow Plow
Collector RoutesÑ will be plowed first. These are high volume routes, which connect major
sections of the city and provide access for emergency fire, police, and medical services.
Snow Plow Collector Routes will be monitored and may be re-plowed as necessary.
The second priority will be drives and parking areas for the Fire Station and those streets
providing access to schools and commercial businesses.
The third priority streets are low volume residential streets.
The fourth priority areas are alleys, cul-de-sacs, and city parking lots.
After all streets have been cleared, snow removal on trails will begin.
6. Work schedule for snowplow operators
Snowplow operators will be expected to work eight-hour shifts. When conditions and
service requirements to the public warrant, the Public Works Director may start shifts at a
different time than normal and may conclude work after eight hours. In severe snow
emergencies, operators sometimes have to work more than eight-hour shifts. However,
because of budget and safety concerns, no operator shall work more than a twelve-hour
shift in any twenty-four hour period. Operators will take a fifteen-minute break every two
hours with a half-hour meal break after four hours. After a twelve-hour day, the operators
will be replaced if additional qualified personnel are available. All work schedules shall be
subject to the collective bargaining agreement then in effect.
7. Weather conditions
Snow and ice control operations will be conducted only when weather conditions do not
S:\\Administration\\Policies\\Snowplowing Policy 2017v1revisions.doc
2
endanger the safety of city employees and equipment. Factors that may delay snow and ice
control operations include: severe cold, significant winds, and limited visibility.
8. Use of sand, salt, and other chemicals
The City has determined that sand as a means of controlling icy road conditions is more
expensive than use of salt (sodium chloride) alone and that except in extremely cold
conditions, use of salt alone is more effective in establishing safe streets. Sand remaining
on the road is very costly to pick up and dispose of and while on the road may actually
impede traction and increase stopping distances. Sand can clog storm sewers, ditches and
ponds. As such, salt is the preferred material to control icing of roads, and sand will
generally not be used. Streets may be pretreated with salt-brine before a weather event.
The City recognizes that winter deicing materials, especially chlorides, can have a
detrimental effect on the environment due to the possibility of them remaining in ponds and
lakes increasing concentration over time. As such, the City determines that the use of these
materials should be managed carefully in order to use just enough material to provide safe
streets. It should not be expected that the city will have bare pavements, but rather the goal
will be to have bare pavements approaching intersections and in school zones.
Material should be placed on the crown of road on residential streets, allowing traffic to
carry it to curbside. Ice control materials applied along major roads may be placed for total
lane width coverage.
Materials should not be applied during plowing operations until the final pass except for
intersections, stop signs, major roads, and school zones.
In residential areas, materials should be applied approximately one hundred (100) feet
before each intersection with a stop sign, depending upon the conditions present at each
particular location. Distances on major roads may double, depending on posted speeds,
number of lanes and other circumstances.
9. Sidewalks and Trails
Concrete Sidewalks abutting private property are the primary responsibility of the abutting
property owner who shall keep them clear of snow and ice in accordance with City Code.
Bituminous Trails shall be the responsibility of the City. A map of these routes is
available at City Hall.
Trail snow removal will be completed during non-overtime hours whenever possible, with
the understanding that streets will be given higher priority over sidewalks and trails The
criteria for implementing sidewalk and trail snow removal operations are as follows:
Snow accumulation of 1.5 inches or more
S:\\Administration\\Policies\\Snowplowing Policy 2017v1revisions.doc

Drifting of snow that causes problems for pedestrian travel
Additional snowfall of 1.5 inches or more is not expected within 48 hours of
normal commencement
Level of Service
City maintained sidewalks and trails shall be cleared of snow in accordance with
city code.

FINANCE
American Rescue Plan (ARP)
The City Council reviewed information from the Finance Director regarding the eligibility of
certain expenses and the opportunity to recover lost revenue. The US Treasury has now
finalized their guidance on lost revenue, which provides a flat amount for recovery by each
city, which is well above CentervilleÓs allotment. If funds are allocated for lost revenue, they
must simply be spent on general government expenses. Council has not made formal
commitments yet.
PUBLIC WORKS
Snow Plow Season
At the last meeting the city's snow plowing policy was
discussed. Council had a few more questions about
when snowplowing operations begin and the order in
which streets, sidewalks, and trails are plowed. Also
discussed was a desire for consistency between City
Code and our Policy. Revisions to our policy have been
made in an effort to address those issues.
STORMWATER/WETLAND
Rice Creek Watershed District Erosion Control
Inspection Partnership.
The city kicked off its first few months of a new partnership with the Rice Creek Watershed
District, earlier this summer. The agreement between the city and RCWD eliminates
overlapping inspections on development sites, keeping development costs down. The
watershed district supplies the inspections and the city pays for half of their costs.
Recently, the city received its first invoice from the watershed and happily paid it in full! Both
organizations are hopeful that this partnership can lead to more collaborative programs that cut
government bureaucracy while still fulfilling the missions of our respective organizations.
SEWER AND WATER
Commercial Water Connection Fee Assistance
As part of the cityÓs ongoing effort to help businesses through the pandemic, a new program
was introduced, cutting connection fees for city water in half, for commercial properties. If
you own a commercial property in Centerville that is not currently hooked to city water, and
are interested in learning more, please call City Hall. The program is offered for a limited time
only and is subject to conditions.
Wellhead Protection Plan
We have been notified that our grant application to seal some wells in our Wellhead
Protection Area was received and is ready to be funded. A grant agreement has been executed
and staff is pursuing quotes to complete the work.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Centennial Fire District
From Battalion Chief Matt Montain -
On February 1, 2022 there was a structure fire in the
city along Eagle Trail. All residents made it out of the
house safely and no firefighters were injured during the
extinguishment. The house is uninhabitable and all
utilities were shut off at the home.
There were more than 40 firefighters from four
departments (Centennial, SBM, Lino Lakes and
Lexington) working to extinguish the fire on a very cold
and windy evening.
Mayor Love reached out to offer support as the incident
was happening, and Councilman Mosher opened his
home to the family. Councilman MosherÓs willingness to
host the family in an effort to keep his neighbors safe
and warm during this tragic event is one of many
reasons that Centerville is so great!
Special thank you to Public Works for coming in last night Î it was cold and icy

Centennial Lakes Police Department
Chief Mork and his staff continue to focus on keeping adequately staffed through the pandemic,
staggering shifts and making other adjustments to their operations. They have also been busy
preparing their annual report, to be presented to the Police Governing Board at an upcoming
meeting.
