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.
I. CCSA Committee-a disbursement of $100,000 to organizations like Parent Provider, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Advocates for Developmental Disabilities, Healthy Seniors, SEMCAC, Clothesline, Crisis Resource Center, Steele Co Food Shelf, transitional housing program. Commissioners were appreciative to the committee for giving out $100,000 vs. the $200,000 they had in the past.
II. Sheriff’s Vehicle Purchases-
2002 Crown Victoria 83,000 miles; unmarked. Needs a transmission and new motor.
Option A: $5400 to repair-Blue book is under $5,000.
Option B: $17,430 for a new Impala
Option C: 1 year old program car at Hursh Motors Impala ’10 with 28,000 for $14,795.
Vehicle is used for investigations/administration. Sheriff wants Option B or C. Last years bond had 6 vehicles in it and they’ve purchased 2 so far, this would be a 3rd. Looks like the commissioners support the purchase of a new vehicle-they’ll approve at the meeting tonight.
III. Fund Transfer to SCCL, Inc.-treasurer was authorized for $100,000 and is requesting an additional $50,000. Comes out of Cedarview enterprise fund.
IV. Disaster Recovery Contract-discussed bids for hiring a recovery professional service to assist with the flood assistance process. Thoughts were to spend a little more money to hire a firm that they believe has the experience and quality in performing these duties.
V. Community center use during the fair- pushed it to a committee
VI. Board votes on officers for Southeast Service cooperative
VII. 2011 Budget: brief discussion after preapproval of budget. Cut 2% of levy in LGA
