-The Owen City Council heard a report from the Parks and Recreation Committee and their meeting last week.The Committee Chairman reported that the bridge on the north end of the Mill Pond needs staining. Bids were going to be requested, but since the meeting, the Public Works Department has stated that the city could do the job for a lot cheaper. Discussions took place to put some equipment or playground equipment in Crowley Park and a possible dog park somewhere in the City. The council also heard the CDC’s Report. Tim Swiggum reported the City Attorney will soon have the quit claim deeds ready for the city land sale to Stephen Heggemeier and Ray Kilty and the Chamber of Commerce will hold their annual meeting in February 2018 with guest speaker Spin Vision.
The DRC is busy planning the Autumn Fest to be held October 21st at the Old School. At the last UCCC meeting, Swiggum met guest speaker David Ross who is the Secretary of DOT. Finally, the business interested in the Agribusiness Park is now developing their plans for the site.
