City Public Works Budget Study Session Notes: Sept.18, 2012


Public Works Budget Study Session notes.


A part of the OACCT's Public Policy efforts for 2012 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.


They have been working on Cost Avoidance this year.

  • Painting curbs and strips at night to avoid traffic.
  • Sharing vehicles between departments.
  • Leased equipment to tear houses down rather than purchase it.
  • Used city labor to make improvements at Waste Water Plant.


Note: Waste Water Treatment Plant has received Excellence Award 19 of the past 22 years.

Storm Water – Cleaned up river with volunteers.

Goals for 2013

  • Work on storm water flow problems.
  • Increase work on road improvements
  • Increase security at Waste Water Plant.


It was very difficult to hear anything that was being said, so I am sure I missed much of the important stuff. I have also attached a couple of pie charts that they passed around.
