Summary
Centerville — The Centerville City Council approved its consent agenda Tuesday night, voting to move several routine items forward and to set a public hearing on financing for a park project.
Centerville — The Centerville City Council approved its consent agenda Tuesday night, voting to move several routine items forward and to set a public hearing on financing for a park project.
Consent items approved included: setting a public hearing for Feb. 17, 2025 on Ordinance O6-25 to authorize issuance of not-to-exceed $7,600,000 in park improvement bond anticipation notes for the Benhams Grove project; adopting a resolution approving a tentative agreement with Teamsters Local 957 and authorizing the city manager to execute the agreement; and reappointing Bob Lentz as chair of the Streets, Highways and Drainage Commission to a one-year term. Council Member Enghart made the motion to adopt the consent agenda and Council Member Palcher seconded it; the motion carried on a voice vote with all members present.
The council also recorded a communication from Donna stating that Austin Steinke had submitted his resignation from the City Beautiful Commission. Mayor Compton administered an oath of office on the council floor to Angie Gomez, who introduced herself as a Centerville resident and an interior designer and said she looks forward to serving on the city board to which she was appointed. The council did not record additional details about the appointment’s authority or term during the oath.
Other meeting notes: During the meeting’s earlier reports, staff referenced ongoing work on the city’s comprehensive plan, a public art plan that may return to council for approval, and proposed gateway enhancements for a city park entrance; those items were described as part of an earlier work session and were not the subject of formal votes at Tuesday’s meeting.
Why it matters: The bond anticipation note ordinance will be the subject of a public hearing next month; if approved after the hearing, it would allow the city to issue short-term notes in anticipation of bond financing for the Benhams Grove park improvements. The tentative Teamsters agreement and the reappointment are routine personnel and labor items processed by consent.
