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.
Recording of the County Ditches. It appears that there is not clear title to the county ditches and an effort is underway to get these recorded. As it is in the property owners interest, they are paying for the recording fees and not taxpayer dollars.
In addition, there was a presentation from a member of the National Pork Board. This was an informational presentation that highlighted the pork industry and its vitality for Steele county and MN. It highlighted what advances the pork industry has made over the years. In addition, it touched on how many county jobs are generated through the Pork industry. After all, it is not just "the other white meat."
Lastly, Sheriff Gudmudson presented two proposals. First, to offer a food service plan that would offer "brunch" on weekend/holidays for the detention center. This is a cost saving measure and does not inhibit the required caloric intake. Second, was a plan to hire 4 Correctional Corporals. These would essentially be apprentices to the Correctional Sgts. In the end, this is a cost saving measure as well as the additional FTE will be able to be flexed and have the end result be not to pay OT for the year and will be a gain to the budget
