Ottawa approves $1 million public works building plan
City commissioners voted 4 to 1 to raise the public works building and shop project to $1 million, about $250 thousand over the initial 1999 budget after bids came in lower than expected. The plan adds a barnlike equipment building, office space, a lunch room and employee bathroom beside the current facilities at Second and Ash, with about $100 thousand for shop equipment not included in the price tag. Commissioner Gene Ramsey opposed, arguing the extra funds could be spent on other city needs.
