A part of the OACCT's Public Policy efforts for 2010 is for volunteers from the Public Policy committee attend both City and County meetings and report back on items that are of interest/concern to business.
1. Property tax option for storm damage – Glen Purdie
Damage estimates distributed to panel
Glen proposed 3 options all of which are reimbursable by the state
2. Grant for video conferencing equipment - Mike Johnson
State grant for $19k good for one year
Bid came in at $17, 452
this would be for video conferencing equipment on the 3rd level of the fire station.
equipment would be owned by Steele County
used for Emergency Management video conferencing and would be on the state network
talked about opening up the use to other parties but this is not recommended
policy on usage to be drafted along with annual budget expectation ($600/year maintenance contract)
3. Donation to jail programs – Dan Schember/Jen Pfeifer
Martha Muska (sp?) donated $5,000 to setup/implement assistance for mental health issues
Provide medication to help inmates/patients
Would like this to be seed money to get additional contributions
Would like this to be coined ‘The Donald Muska Fund’
Motion was made to establish fund
4. Septic System Loan Agreement – Scott Golberg
In 6th year of loan program
2nd 3 year agreement with state
Asked for an exception to extend the loan for another year
If extended we’ll have to reapply for another 3 year agreement in August 2011
5. SCCL Master Agreement – Steve Rohlik
This was confusing but the county is selling building and land to SCCL (Steele county already owns 50% of SCCL)
DHS owns properties now
