Centennial Lakes Police Department provides police protection for the community. Centennial Fire Department provides fire and rescue services for the city. City government is a mayor/city council structure, with a City Administrator. Centerville is located in southeastern Anoka County, which is part of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The City is surrounded by the City of Lino Lakes and lies between two major interstate highways: I-35E and I-35W. Because Centerville is at the intersection of Interstate 35E and Anoka County Road 14, there is excellent freeway access. Easy freeway access near the industrial park and commercial district is the number one reason why businesses locate in Centerville. We are also only 10 miles South of Forest Lake on either 35E or Highway 61 and we are 2.5 miles west of Hugo on County Road 14. The county seat is in the City of Anoka, 20 miles west of Centerville, located on the Mississippi River in the southwestern part of the county. The County has relatively level topography, with the northern part of the County having a more rural character and the southern part consisting of developing and fully developed suburban areas. Circle Pines Many citizens for commuting into the metropolitan area use Park and Ride systems. No medical facilities exist within the city. Mayor and City Council with City Administrator is the general form of government. Centennial School District #12 covers the entire city with one of the elementary schools located within the city limits. Circle Pines is the only suburban city in Minnesota that operates its own natural gas distribution company. The city is in close proximity to a major growth area in its neighboring city of Blaine; a heavily used sports center complex, a TPC golf course. One third of the city land area is devoted to parks and open spaces. Businesses in Circle Pines are mostly retail and are located on the west side of the city (near Lake Drive and Lexington Ave). Another retail center is in the center of the city, along Lake Drive. Columbia Heights Columbia Heights has State Highways 65 and 47 running north/south. Most commercial property lies along these two heavily traveled roads. Metro Transit provides many routes of bus service with a small bus transfer hub building in the city. Amoco Oil has one large underground pipe that runs along our northern border for approximately 1/2 mile. One of the Minneapolis water treatment facilities is located in Columbia Heights. There are two 48-inch water mains, which run from this treatment plant to Minneapolis through the city. This plant provides a significant amount of the water used by Minneapolis and some surrounding suburbs including Columbia Heights. 62 Commented [RK78]: Updated —2019
