Booker Boyer, buildings and grounds, listed completed projects including spray-foam insulation at a road shop, lighting and insulation upgrades and mini-split HVAC installations in the Emergency Management building and other county facilities. Clerk/administrator Tammy White and Boyer said the county used the full preapproved voucher and expects to submit reimbursement for $76,200; recorded costs total about $81,047, which the county will document in the reimbursement packet.

Judy Clark, county planning administrator, advised commissioners that the federal program has strict documentation requirements and that initial submissions are often rejected for missing details; she said county staff and the city office have experience resubmitting required corrections. \"Don't be surprised if you get a rejection because they are very, very picky with every little detail that they need before they say, yes. Here's your money,\" Clark said.

Commissioners asked whether the expenses had been paid; staff confirmed payment and said they will submit the full reimbursement request, expect a possible federal pause, and will resubmit if required. Clark and staff said they would notify the board when they receive reimbursement or a federal response.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lincoln County Commissioners Meeting, February 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","County staff reported finishing work funded under a $76,200 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) voucher program and preparing a reimbursement submission to the Department of Energy; county staff warned of likely federal review delays.","taxTitle","Lincoln County, Nebraska","taxId",28925,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6320738,"Lincoln County adopts resolution supporting state railroad-safety bill LB37",281,2371000,2652000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2355242-cb3b8c6e77b7a7bde6199d889b697e66&start=2371&end=2652","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2355242-cb3b8c6e77b7a7bde6199d889b697e66/thumbnail_2371000.jpg","/articles/6320738/Lincoln-County/Nebraska/Lincoln-County-adopts-resolution-supporting-state-railroad-safety-bill-LB37","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6320738-3a8259bd69d67b3940ffe48809f4ebeb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770432601&Signature=CdvyNq4j5qpqobnNxyd8cXAF~1WmEeO08GxKVsqXbBbHECt6983yas8JqrztThlZK~2NWcMcwW9lpbATjEeU95wpVOimaDTuwwPgjRfmqMyL-H42mly6-8qfU54MeSveGCVOcaqR45cwEGmupCjZVo1SpqMdGr3Jkuvi5LE--dL9IWwPvwUlrrXF9DMLr-k9c0OHmKqn1oQW25A42QW3BC7ZAAHPkq63YpNhg8jGoX6ockZDaI8YynDuyk~65eTWq0T4~lHO5AShtgvY4agTjhtNC3Bir2ecjNFlcjUSIcKV8BA0puh~JHmhYDsum0nFyuKPB313Zl9Olog4mify4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 18 to adopt Resolution 2025-04 in support of Legislative Bill 37, a state measure introduced this session addressing railroad safety and transparency.

Commissioner Bruns introduced the motion and said the bill would provide \"a little bit more teeth\" to encourage railroad compliance and improve technology use, training and reporting to first responders. \"It allows for greater training, and more transparency as well, particularly with, first responders,\" Bruns said.

Commissioners discussed recent derailments and a railcar explosion in the region that led to local evacuations; Bruns said the Union Pacific had implemented some county recommendations but more work is needed. The board unanimously approved the resolution by roll-call vote; Bruns said he would testify on behalf of Lincoln County at the bill's hearing, tentatively scheduled for March 10.

Commissioners asked county staff to provide copies of the resolution for committee distribution and to arrange for Bruns to deliver testimony at the legislative hearing.","The Board approved Resolution 2025-04 backing LB37, which commissioners said would strengthen rail safety, training and transparency for first responders; Commissioner Bruns volunteered to testify before the Legislature.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6320743,"Lincoln County delays decision on $25,000 siren repairs, asks for city agreement",733,1492000,2225000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2355242-cb3b8c6e77b7a7bde6199d889b697e66&start=1492&end=2225","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2355242-cb3b8c6e77b7a7bde6199d889b697e66/thumbnail_1492000.jpg","/articles/6320743/Lincoln-County/Nebraska/Lincoln-County-delays-decision-on-25000-siren-repairs-asks-for-city-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6320743-bc46a5fd1561d250d88aed609c5e5e46/orig.mp4?Expires=1770432601&Signature=QI~OY75PBAh9BK42TRCXj2SQ0IihHBbCfTCeqcChecxzPqufgFMIRBu7SoDklUaIivlTjCdlzZEut~PsJeIFGjDCc17DlIdtHHr2yCEEiYGdYXd1Y~k6xEToXlxmyyo8OcgCVwo7zJBZ9exFutYDcXTUZWtkbyctXZs54C56shqTy9IrHKr06nhQPM2iSmQxufxnR1z6vioUxx4ln9k6HpI2tErE~kvqzfe~R7lu549oMLzoeh86lUEAp6kcOdOVcf9aL6j8Ae0CdRmrVLr0CeUuZURbLWCVH~jfql~VB3z3EHhIoEQf5FGytf-qnBhDl4LyI0F1jyfC9fWBUQ37aA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lincoln County emergency management director Brandon Myers told commissioners on Feb. 18 that an outside contractor inspected the county and city emergency siren system and reported multiple failures, principally with radio control heads that activate the sirens.

Myers said the inspection identified roughly $25,250 in needed repairs across systems serving the city and lake; under a long-standing memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the city, the county\u0000s share would be roughly half. \"We paid half of that bill. It was about $6,000 bill. So we paid about 3,000, which is what our MOU with the city's been long before I was hired,\" Myers said, and added that the county's half of the recent comprehensive repair estimate would be about $12,130.

Commissioners described the equipment as vital to public safety and asked for more documentation before committing funds. One commissioner said a preventative maintenance plan and a review of the MOU are needed; another asked whether the county's budget already included money for the work. Myers said he had identified budgeted funds for the repair and that the vendor would perform annual inspections going forward.

The board asked county staff to obtain and circulate the dispatch agreement/MOU with the city and asked staff to confirm whether the vendor used by the city was competitively procured. After discussion, the board agreed to table the item until the county and city agreement and vendor procurement information could be reviewed.

The board did not take a formal roll-call vote on the repair authorization before tabling the item; commissioners directed staff to obtain the MOU and return the item to a future agenda.","County emergency manager described needed repairs across the county's siren network; commissioners agreed to table spending pending review of the county\u0000city MOU and proof of competitive procurement.","actionData","errors"]
