OLD BUSINESS 1.Joint Powers Agreement City Attorney Glaser stated since their last meeting, the County agreed to concessions on the streetscape plans. He noted they have not agreed to change the ponding, but he believed the City would not have to pay the full amount of ponding costs or there was a possibility of not paying any cost, which he would talk about to the Council privately. He stated in total they were about $500,000 from where they started. He recommended that the Council pass the agreement in its current form. He did not believe that the City would receive any additional concessions. Mayor Capra stated she would like to make this contingent upon receiving the agreement in writing. City Attorney Glaser stated he would clarify the language in item 4b with the County. Council Member Paar stated he was going to vote against this agreement because there was $500,000 that should not be there. He noted he was for the road and they needed the road, but when he ran for re-election he wanted to make sure the City paid for what they should and he believed they were paying $500,000 too much, which he believed was the County’s error. He stated he would support the road and this was strictly a moral issue for him. He indicated he was displeased with how this was handled by the County. Council Member Lee stated he agreed with Council Member Paar that they were paying too much money. He stated he would not provide a “no” vote on this issue. He believed the County would receive Council Member Paar’s message, but they needed to do the road even though he did not agree with the costs. Council Member Terway stated they needed this to happen in order to make the downtown happen. He agreed with Council Member Paar with respect to the costs, but he believed staff had reduced those costs as much as possible. He noted this road would benefit the City for many years to come. He stated he supported the project and would vote for it. Council Member Lakso noted if the road was not redone, it would deteriorate. She believed the costs were done as fairly as they could have been. She stated she would in favor of the project. Page 3 of 8 City of Centerville Meeting Minutes December 27, 2006 Mayor Capra stated she would also vote in favor of the project, but she still had concerns regarding the stormwater management. She commended staff for all of their work on this agreement. She noted the road was unsafe and something needed to be done. She asked if Council wanted to make this contingent upon a signed agreement. Engineer Statz stated he believed the City and County could work this out and that it would be in their best interest to not attach any riders on the agreement. He noted this made too much sense to not be worked out. Mayor Capra asked if they could approve the JPA with the understanding it was contingent upon the signed agreement. Motion by Council Member Terway, seconded by Council Member Lakso, to approve the Joint Powers Agreement, for the reconstruction of County State Aid Highway No. 14 (Main Street) from I35W to I35E County Project No. 02-614-24 with clarification by the City’s attorney of the interpretation of the language of 4B and with the understanding the County will agree to reasonable concessions for the two blocks south of Main Street on Centerville Road with regard to their streetscape policies.
