City Council Meeting Notes-September 21, 2010

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.

Fairly brisk meeting and somewhat trivialized due to today's flooding in town but here goes:

Dale Bowers installed as EDA member. It should be noted he replaced Dan Gorman who served on the EDA for 17 1/2 years.

Marlene Nelson took time in the public comment to be leery of declining home values and to prepare for less LGA and property tax income.

Approved request to apply for $560,000 Small Cities Development Program Grant.

Since the Bookmobile has been shut down this niche vehicle was approved to sell through a national broker to optimize sale price. Proceeds back to library budget.

Approval of sewer projects from to be paid out of the sewer fund. Local bid awarded that came in 21.8% under engineer's estimate.
