City puts Beech Street agreement on hold
Ottawa council delayed the Beech Street proposal after Commissioner Tony Keim sought adoption but fellow members did not concur. Vicki Cummiskey and Joan Tyson criticized the plan, saying it does not fully address non attendance and that volunteers should self regulate. The board also approved a federal funds procurement procedure, with staff recommendations on expenditures over 10000 and final commission approval, a change Jackson opposes as delaying rehabilitation projects. Other items included ORV Village West grant, bond refund plan, Havens Steel tax abatement, ADA architectural bills, Wilson and Company engineering contract, unemployment insurance administration, and proclamations for Youth Day Hospital Auxiliary Day and July Street Festival.
