A part of the OACCT's Public Policy efforts for 2013 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.
Commissioners anticipated approving a general fund to capital construction transfer of $1,100,000 to cover the expenses to fund the 800MHZ upgrades (tower work). They anticipate getting half of the expense back via grants.
Commissioners anticipated approving one of three options in regards to the Steele County Jail at their 7 PM meeting. Oak Park Heights has contacted them to house as many as 52 inmates, requiring opening the third pod and additional staff. Option 1: do nothing; Option 2: take enough inmates to fill pod 2; Option 3: hire 7 staff and open pod 3 with hopes of signing a 2 year contract, gaining the county add'l income.
Commissioners toured CAT facility for potential use for county public works/highway shop.
