On Dec 20th - hearings will be held regarding an impacting change within the City of Osseo.
Independent School District 279 has submitted a request for a Conditional Use Permit to move the OALC - an alternative format learing center for High School aged Youth into the now Vacant Osseo Elementary School.
The city leaders needs you to be vocal on this one. Please plan to be in attendance for the Planning Commission meeting - Dec 20th - 7p in the City Council Chambers at Osseo City Hall to give your feedback.
Please also pass this on the all who may be affected by this change - attendance needs to be good as to give an opinion one way or the other to the PC

Decenber 2010
It has been 2 months since my last post. Many things have transpired in Osseo. 1 new council member voted in, and one returns, and a New Mayor as well. Much contention regarding the new Mayor - but he managed a victory.
Budget is almost done and approved with a decent amount of Capital dollars devoted to keeping Osseo solvent into the future - was a part of Osseo's first ever Capital Improvement Plan - that is in year 135 of it's existence. We ordered work to begin on a Financial improvement plan as well. Our main budget decreased 3% including the new capital monies - but we are considering a levy that will amount to aroud 40$ on a 180k property - to pay for the Central Ave Project - after finding out that the payment for last year seemed to have been payed out of the contingency fund for the project. Good new is that is only for 1 year - then forecasts are for that levy to disappear.
Proud of the past year - had to tackle a few tough issues - but Osseo is in a good place moving into 2011. As usual - i am working toward the positive growth of our community. I know that everyone does not always agree with the decisions - but we hope to leave our city in a better place - with new businesses filling our storefronts.
Funny though - people have been saying through the election - Osseo needs a Pizza Place. I must say that we do have a great one already - Duffy's. Honestly one of the best thin crust Pizza's.
I continue to say - support local business every opportunity that you can. Please feel free to email me you thoughts. Respectful emails will certainly be given attention. Happy December...
