Thanks to all the businesses and other organizations that participated. Long-time Parks & Rec Committee Member Recognized Earlier this year, after 22 years of service to the community, Suzanne Seely retired from her position on the Parks and Recreation Committee. At the November 6 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Committee recognized Ms. Seely for her years of dedication. Among the highlights of SuzanneÓs career were writing a grant for the cityÓs large trail project, constructed in 2011, planning and overseeing the development of Hidden Spring Park where the city now holds its Music in the Park series. However, SuzanneÓs most cherished memories are the relationships built with community members as their lives intersected through the work of the committee. Congrats and Thank You, Suzanne! Volunteer Appreciation Event The Volunteer Appreciation was held on October 22, 2024 at St. GenevieveÓs Parish Center with approximately 50 individuals in attendance. Both the Parks & Recreation Committee and the city are honored for their volunteer base as Centerville has prospered by having the ability to hold events with participants from the community and others from outside of the community because of these individuals along with adding visual amenities to our parks. These volunteers maintain park monument flower gardens, City Hall Reader Board Garden, volunteer for events and those that serve on boards/committees (e.g. Fete des Lacs, the annual 5/8K runs, Movie in the Park, Main Street Market, election judges, board/committee members, council members and Music in the Park).

County staff will be sending a draft of the schedule for the various projects along with cost share estimates to the cities in the next month or two. 2025 Thin Overlay Project The City Engineer and Public Works Director have been examining streets and working with the Finance Director to scope a potential overlay project for 2025. The street fund has roughly $1 Million in available cash to spend. An overlay project was last done in 2022. For the past 10 years or so, the city has been doing bituminous (blacktop) overlays in lieu of seal coating. The overlays aim for a cycle of around 15 to 20 years, where seal coating was on a 5-to-7-year rotation. In the end, the overall cost is roughly the same, but we believe the results are better with the overlays. Homes along the route of the overlay project are generally asked to contribute a small portion of the cost (usually about 20%), through special assessments. The remaining costs come from the street fund which is supported by general levy taxes and franchise fees. PUBLIC WORKS Solar on Public Buildings Grant City staff has been working with the State officials and the contractor to submit a final grant application. The project would place solar panels on city hall and the fire station capable of supplying up to 40 kW of AC power to city hall. Excess power will be pushed to the power grid. The projectÓs estimated costs are around $120,000 with 60% of the costs covered by the grant, 30% by a federal tax rebate and the remaining 10% from city funds. The city should recover its investment within just a few short years, in a drastically reduced electric bill.

Each pouch contains 6 meals/servings. A heartfelt thanks and appreciation from the Centennial Fire District for all of those involved from the volunteers, the group we worked with to meet these goals and the Meals from the Heart team.

This subdivision was always a stnd part of the discussion when Old Mill Estates (1 and 2 Additions) was platted.
