Corey (staff) said a recent review identified six properties in poor compliance with registry obligations and that the city is attempting to obtain voluntary relinquishment of at least one vacant lot. If an owner does not relinquish the deed, staff said they intend to proceed to foreclosure in March. Corey said the assessed amounts owed to the city for noncompliance average about $3,750 per property and that staff expect these figures to aid court proceedings in foreclosure actions.

Staff said they are finalizing a list of additional properties that may require registration notices and expected to circulate that list to council staff the following day. The council discussed administrative follow-up but did not take a formal vote; staff described this as preparatory enforcement work and said they would return with further details when legal steps are ready.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","02.04.2025 City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Council heard that six properties on a city registry are out of compliance; staff said they will seek voluntary deed relinquishment for one vacant lot and proceed to foreclosure in March if that fails.","taxTitle","City Council Meetings, City of Holdrege, Phelps County, Nebraska","taxId",69887,"location","Nebraska","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6352509,"Council approves sale of Iron Horse Industrial Park parcel to Nebraska Land Aviation; DOT grant cited",125,1294000,1419000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2224544-e16fba1e423d3d3713170ce20e47e6a5&start=1294&end=1419","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2224544-e16fba1e423d3d3713170ce20e47e6a5/thumbnail_1294000.jpg","/articles/6352509/Nebraska/Council-approves-sale-of-Iron-Horse-Industrial-Park-parcel-to-Nebraska-Land-Aviation-DOT-grant-cited","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6352509-8d241aca524c7babb32673123e1b51b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166601&Signature=GUz9NeD3x1FpKMkpGrlGhGobF1GGu4mQUGEPa5m41VBDvG2Pi1MLym~0VzpFuibqhBMVWtL97J4ETCWZubO~K99Hr61xqlo72zb2RPxl0RwAdf7-LzX1r~zIfX1MWcRc~OyKkk1SYT0DQvtRvz8hmB5FpWWmkx5rgjQAp9Rxc1Ib5EEQQpSeYkmOh6JEpDCfBAgQhc4YG5fwfLq3DmmgtyjWsPFIAdSz4LO4Nq2XIkrDEZ2Jw77~8hBH02fdYRGoTKU5x8kGg~mZhqWTDxUuxbKIBF0HadiQ0jiukc9ly1TIzfeKknyjw5ccjO8KoHiH2verEtHaVS5kh6a0qRyuLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Council voted to approve the sale of a parcel in Iron Horse Industrial Park, owned by the Phelps County Development Corporation (PCDC), to Nebraska Land Aviation. A PCDC representative presented the proposal and answered council questions on job creation, infrastructure needs and funding.

The presenter said Nebraska Land Aviation — connected to Westland Harrington Flying Service — plans to build a manufacturing facility that will blend fertilizer for its operations and for sale. The company expects to hire about six people initially in \"very high paying positions,\" with the project described as costing \"well in excess of $10,000,000.\" The project will require new rail service into the site for inbound materials and truck transport for outbound finished goods, the presenter said.

The council was told the Nebraska Department of Transportation awarded a $400,000 grant to help pay for street construction to serve the site. The PCDC representative said proceeds from the land sale will be used to match that grant and that PCDC may borrow or use reserves to cover any remaining gap once final construction estimates are complete.

After questions about acreage (the presenter said the parcel is roughly 107 acres) and infrastructure responsibilities, council moved and seconded approval of the sale; the motion carried on an affirmative council vote.

Council members congratulated the buyer and said they looked forward to receiving further details as the project advances, including final cost estimates and any request for local infrastructure work beyond street lighting and short access runs noted in the presentation.","The council approved the sale of a Phelps County Development Corporation parcel in Iron Horse Industrial Park to Nebraska Land Aviation; councilmembers heard project estimates, a $400,000 DOT streets grant and an expected initial hiring of about six positions.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6352514,"City Council accepts Holdridge Area Public Library annual report; trustees outline budget and program growth",758,544000,1302000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2224544-e16fba1e423d3d3713170ce20e47e6a5&start=544&end=1302","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2224544-e16fba1e423d3d3713170ce20e47e6a5/thumbnail_544000.jpg","/articles/6352514/Nebraska/City-Council-accepts-Holdridge-Area-Public-Library-annual-report-trustees-outline-budget-and-program-growth","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6352514-f8d5a14bcccd47d0ec15a6a498233bee/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166601&Signature=TtpOsM5m9zupiKtZCCuwL9NdVfRTFpHzCLcD2ZP5oxYCWhhcHl2G0xOCsZam~bvAW~ufSF9A6EiS7-WZg0qiiKAPV4cXQC~VNhBdfnO7DOb65E-BiRoDh7zXLS8Ws3sA-D71kRej5GL0gyXO7Oc~2SRLiQWf8qgvVy9QvnMIaWToPDywPg2Gmp0QJxC7ms0aQ~gFp2oWX-l7Kr2Edmu2WH9QQXnvVlj2kXunl~0jHDriAQraeMK7wWndGNjImGMJFQUhr1D9WizbxGXaexlGE8i7A~lUINZwovzXRHl5vwcwxePar7vCMYmb-wvOErl423IQwMEoWfF6zbVmKZ4n1g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Council voted to accept the Holdridge Area Public Library's annual report after a presentation by the library's board president and director detailing finances, collections and program growth.

Cassie Ehrenberg, president of the board of trustees, and Sierra Burrows, the library director, presented figures for the fiscal year and calendar year reporting periods. Ehrenberg said operating revenue for the fiscal year totaled $552,003, including $391,283 from city funds, $147,093 from county funds and $10,709 from grants, donations and other sources. She outlined spending categories, including $339,401 for staffing and $44,124 for collections.

The presenters said the library held roughly 44,445 physical items at year-end, added 1,536 physical items and withdrew 1,626. The library reported more than 49,000 physical checkouts and about 53,400 digital checkouts, roughly 28,190 visits, 7,037 public-computer sessions and substantial engagement on the library’s online channels. Programming included 698 in-person and self-directed events with total attendance of about 6,700; youth programs drew roughly 3,400 attendees and young adult/adult programming reported a marked increase.

During council questions, staff clarified that phone inquiries are not counted as visits in the library’s public-library survey and explained the library’s donation policy and collection-development practices. Ehrenberg said the board is assessing building issues related to a recurring odor in part of the facility and is exploring options, including moving office functions away from the affected space while investigating the source.

After the presentation, a motion to accept the annual report was moved and seconded; the council approved the motion.

The library asked the council to note staffing needs; the director said the library currently has 11 employees, five of whom are full time, and the board hopes to add at least one additional staff member. The trustees said they continue to seek a county board member to fill a vacant seat and are pursuing several options for facilities and maintenance planning.","The Holdridge Area Public Library presented its annual report and financial overview; the City Council voted to accept the report.

The applicant, identified in the meeting as Barbara Jensen, responded to council questions about an apparent county/city address discrepancy and a past liquor license in Atwood, Kansas. Jensen told the council the Kansas location closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying, \"It was during the COVID time, so we shut that down.\" She also noted that a utility provider had flagged an address issue that the city and county were still clarifying.

Council members discussed whether the mismatch between the county address and the city description would affect the local license. A council member said the license included enough descriptive information to identify the establishment and that the address discrepancy likely would not prevent local approval. After questions were answered, a motion to approve the liquor license application was made and seconded. The motion passed with an affirmative vote from the council.

The council did not specify any additional conditions on the license during the meeting. The applicant was advised to update any external agency records once the correct address is confirmed so emergency responders and utilities have accurate information.

Votes at a glance: Motion — \"Approve application for Class 1 liquor license from 37 Smokehouse LLC.\" Mover: Ben (recorded as \"Ben and Nick\" at motion); seconder: Nick. Outcome: approved (council recorded affirmative votes).

The council closed the public hearing after no additional public comments and moved on to the next agenda item.","The City Council voted to approve a Class 1 liquor license application for 37 Smokehouse LLC after clarifying an address discrepancy and the applicant’s prior liquor history.","actionData","errors"]
