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.
There was a lengthy presentation by a representative from MCIT which is essentially an intergoverntmental insurance pool handling risk, property, workers' comp and other insurance related products. The representative complimented the county for being proactive and enacting policies that have reduced costs to the taxpayers.
Contracts where approved for various road maintenance supplies and repairs to be made this season.
Permits where approved for Oak Glen Wind Farm to build a temporary construction yard and put up a meteorological tower.
There was discussion about maintenance and upgrade needs at the courthouse, primarily the need for a new generator.
William Effertz was approved as the new Assessor/Commercial Appraiser. The original appointment was going to be for one year, but a motion was passed to maintain the dual responsibilities indefinitely.
Les Abraham presented the board with our State of Emergency declaration which essentially allowed us to make sandbags available at no charge.
