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.
County's home health care received an award from Medicare/Medicade that recognizes the top 20% of agencies based on a consumer/client (third party) survey.
Owatonna Partners for Economic Development (OPED) members Brad Meier and Troy Klecker, along with Denny Meillier, asked the commissioners to allow a full access intersection at Landmark Dr. Economic development projects would benefit and start if this intersection existed County Engineer Anita Benson reported that full access intersections have 32 ways for vehicle crashes versus a right-in-right-out that has 4 ways; a traffic study would recommend against this type of intersection as it has in past years. The commissioners could have Anita review the OPED proposal alongside the county policies. No formal request has been made of the county at this time (following their permit process); the topic was timely with the county budget discussion.
Other items to be discussed were the 2013 budget review and the administrator's report.
