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.
3 PM Committee of the Whole
-Commissioners were to be introduced to new employees; not present/available
-Commissioners heard an update from Charity Floen on the Regional Redesign-Resolution. Mower and Dodge counties are moving forward with the partnership; Freeborn and Houston counties are out. Owatonna and Waseca counties are yet to pass a resolution to commit to the partnership. The Bush Foundation is funding up to $80,000 for this partnership effort.
-The commissioners were presented the 2013 preliminary levy budget by Shea and department heads (Victim Services, Jail). Commissioners approved a 2.4% levy increase ($21,349,842.00) at the 7 PM meeting that night. Shea and departments are to lower the 2.4% before the final adoption.
