City Board Notes-May 3, 2011

A part of the OACCT's Public Policy efforts for 2011 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.

The meeting was rather short with very little discussion regarding any of the
proposed ordinances or items on the agenda. I have attached a copy of the agenda
with some of my notes as well as the financial re-cap for your review. As you can
see, more than $221,000.00 of the money spent will be reimbursed by FEMA.

There were three parties that appealed their tax assessments for 2011 and the new
Assessor recommended reductions for all of them as well as others in the same area
that he deemed too high. He did not share any dollar amounts with us, but not sure if
he did with the council, but they were all approved.
All of the items listed under the Actions part of the agenda were approved by a
unanimous 7-0 vote.

The only thing discussed that was not on the agenda was the recommendation by
Jeff Johnson to install a lift station by Ag Power's new site. That was also approved
by a 7-0 vote.
