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)The council approved the purchase of two homes for flood mitigation. The homes were on Walnut Ave and East Vine. The home on Walnut will be purchased for $98,000.00 and east Vine will be purchased for $29,000.00. The East Vine home was a foreclosure and thus the lower price. Truelson and Dotson did question the price for the Walnut Ave home as it seems high for the market. There is state flood mitigation funds available for the Walnut Ave home of ½ the cost of the home and razing. Also, OPU will reimburse the city for this when some other homes surrounding this one are purchased.
2)Bids for the bridges on the North Strait River trail were accepted for a total of $204,000.00
3)Phase 3 of the Southeast Storm Sewer improvements was approved.
