County staff explained the arrangement is intended to reduce administrative work and billing hours for NACo and encourage more Nebraska counties to maintain national membership. Staff said the combined invoice would be sectioned into two parts (state and national dues) but paid with a single county payment; Nebraska NACO would then forward the national portion to NACo. The staff presentation noted a 5% discount on the first half of national dues as an incentive for counties to use the consolidated billing.

Speakers said Nebraska is nearing full participation among Nebraska's 93 counties, which would increase the state's representation on NACo's board. Commissioners approved the motion by roll call.

A commissioner asked staff to notify Nebraska NACO contacts of the vote. Several commissioners noted the value of NACo resources and committee participation for counties, citing research and data available through the national organization.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lincoln County Commissioners Meeting, May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Lincoln County approved a motion to allow the Nebraska Association of County Officials (NACO) to include National Association of Counties (NACo) dues on its state invoice and forward payments to NACo, with a 5% discount on the first half dues noted by staff.","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},6537604,"Board of Equalization approves corrections, exemptions and valuation changes",632,2288000,2920000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3516102-68a21b354a74e9973bc70bc5a5945cf5&start=2288&end=2920","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3516102-68a21b354a74e9973bc70bc5a5945cf5/thumbnail_2288000.jpg","/articles/6537604/Lincoln-County/Nebraska/Board-of-Equalization-approves-corrections-exemptions-and-valuation-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537604-2087914f5d0365230933c7c5ea181aa8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190253&Signature=TkWdRkkh-fFUr3rei3K41t2u9TXY~2KYmPEi0DGomQpr32PHIFpetxIeTgw~LbgGBFRixjcRXXP1M8wGrRBqXD3gFx2OakLGNe971IeOVkig5v~vbgivxTY2gSA2BTptcBo8xqNxhMmfaotRlGO2SvPXeo3KffjPFr6u1K6FWdSQQltwTuPoaDoCUX-2CAFeLRFLhj6Dr2NkF7OMlp3NZzufbpD~zi0AsLC2WI7z8~HHpu-SP4feeJKwoDNVprgLImbPyZIzxV~XjQsOgvUo6nqrqBc6wNOjPgvpE~S6hMFRiihF3HYTGpE~E9bZwx-iUpss5L0a9G-94WWzjdBh8w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At 9:30 a.m. the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners recessed and convened as the Board of Equalization to consider assessor and treasurer items. The board approved a series of assessments, certificates of correction and exemptions.

Julie Stinger, county assessor, presented multiple items. The board authorized a personal property acceleration for a closed Subway sandwich shop in Sutherland (business closed March 2025) with total tax of $237.02. The board also approved a real estate correction to accelerate taxes on a 1975 mobile home at 23595 North Lehman Road (Stapleton), with total tax $411.68.

The board approved motor vehicle tax exemption applications recommended by County Treasurer Sherry Newton. Approved exemptions included People's Family Health Services Inc. for a 2014 Toyota van used to transport and assist clients (nonprofit health/travel assistance services), and Two Rivers Fellowship (a religious organization in North Platte) for a 2024 GMC Savannah van used for church transportation.

Assessor Stinger also presented four property valuation change notices (2025-001 through 2025-004). The board discussed several parcels that had changed ownership or condition: two properties purchased by the City of North Platte under a state program to acquire and remediate dilapidated properties, one parcel that remains taxable after a planned mobile‑home removal did not occur, and a parcel purchased by a redevelopment entity that is now taxable. Judy Clark, county planning and zoning administrator and city development director, explained the city's demolition and resale program for blighted properties and said the grant requires future ownership to result in affordable owner‑occupied or rental housing.

The motions on the assessor and treasurer items passed on roll call votes. The board then adjourned from the Board of Equalization and reconvened as the Board of Commissioners.","During a recess as the Board of Equalization, Lincoln County approved certificates of correction and refunds, motor vehicle tax exemptions for two nonprofits, and four property valuation change notices submitted by the county assessor.",{"_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},6537610,"County approves $1.88 million contract with Western Engineering for overlay project",229,3167000,3396000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3516102-68a21b354a74e9973bc70bc5a5945cf5&start=3167&end=3396","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3516102-68a21b354a74e9973bc70bc5a5945cf5/thumbnail_3167000.jpg","/articles/6537610/Lincoln-County/Nebraska/County-approves-188-million-contract-with-Western-Engineering-for-overlay-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537610-da242a6d274eb641b72dbff6e7c84388/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190253&Signature=npt00R~jYblu5ojMNYqeW~xhIJeAeTwskHKV0-vTvvFWb4bom8xMhx3XapBQ~tkcTrnFx-3OmJqkm-ct9zUtmBFF3HEijizBwVDVj0D9oKVUzvZQ~z5zqbLIyCgbCxaIbf47oqzJEprRRyVFg4Y1k-oapa9~Z~T5Cx1Wk~Tu9USdKWVMiIPAyeCrbxIvUrVkYKHGzH1hshufJZEb4jCDpa-r-3L1eSEHICmpMETADCwJ0vaBT14kh68pN8u~BevTehJHFuybTzPb7hn74s~sWujDU5GFm8aH61v-NoEvJdkugFpsi~VLuc2r3hZi2PkxelDWHXFAlfy8A09LfiQ4GQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners on May 20 approved a contract with Western Engineering for project LCDOR2025-01, a major asphalt overlay project on North River Road and adjacent areas. The contract amount recorded in the meeting was $1,879,840.

The contract is a continuation of the county’s recent agreements with Western Engineering; county staff said the document follows the same template used in prior years with only dates and amounts changed. The work described in the board packet covers remaining sections of North River Road that are part of the county’s larger pavement program.

A county member of the highway department introduced the contract and presented it to the board; commissioners discussed scope and acknowledged staff presence from the highway department. The board voted to authorize the chair to sign the contract.

The motion to approve the contract passed on a roll call vote. Staff acknowledged that rain this spring has both helped and challenged road work; assistant highway staff and county commissioners noted the weather’s mixed effects on scheduling and road conditions.

County staff will manage contracting details and coordinate with Western Engineering on schedule and project oversight.","The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners authorized the chair to sign a $1,879,840 contract with Western Engineering for project LCDOR2025-01, covering asphalt overlay work on North River Road and related areas.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6537615,"Lincoln County approves CDBG pass-through for Las Mananitas community project",925,1316000,2241000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3516102-68a21b354a74e9973bc70bc5a5945cf5&start=1316&end=2241","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3516102-68a21b354a74e9973bc70bc5a5945cf5/thumbnail_1316000.jpg","/articles/6537615/Lincoln-County/Nebraska/Lincoln-County-approves-CDBG-pass-through-for-Las-Mananitas-community-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537615-1013442bc9bb49d6dfcb0aa76affbd90/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190253&Signature=fZK9b2LHfSjKN4TjJJTkqhbsIL6ilJ9TH3KPb9orbNJec2KnZGAXI8Cna9E85BSOAPFDwvw05QLh7Brku5eDAmYmH6NewTVDEsoEyrne86VKCMTtTc5AErAK~oqb0l4TWWKyjmoOSZPjcZor7PAqWclSttvbwr6e3tDWdAIWRyj4duhjznkmMltIlWpZ6TdYBfwM~RZLwRHe1sY~XvJmLXE8ldoFSbikBoDVEEEnBgkXBmRQBUDZZ0TQvU1adLN-svRAX3NB07rTwislyqrruovG9IO4xA-mPt8A8SuI9r37o40S1Zs9uePwr0m7ryzLTJWuqEFlLVNCinafTzvrqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lincoln County commissioners on May 20 voted to adopt Resolution No. 2025-11, authorizing the chair to sign a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application that would make the county the pass-through applicant for a proposed Las Mananitas Community Advocates project in North Platte.

The action followed a public hearing during which project representatives described plans for a community business incubator, cultural programming and public gathering space aimed at supporting small businesses and local food production.

\"This project represents a significant investment in the well-being and prosperity of the residents,\" Emma Castor, economic developer with West Central Nebraska Development District, said during the hearing. \"By supporting small businesses, cultural programming, and public gathering spaces, we are working toward a stronger, more connected, and economically vibrant community.\" Addie Dobbins, director of Las Mananitas Community Advocates, presented an updated floor plan and said the group has not yet contracted an architect and is awaiting final funding before spending on design.

Entrepreneur Mackenzie Fernandez, who said she began selling food from her kitchen and later opened a storefront, spoke in support: \"I really do think that it's gonna benefit our community greatly. This is gonna give lots of people a chance to start, you know, giving back to the economy, fulfilling their dreams, being self‑sufficient.\" She also described volunteer support for proposed hydroponics programming.

Commissioners stressed that the county's role is as a pass-through and does not obligate county funds. \"For the record, this is a pass-through; this doesn't obligate county funding for this project,\" a commissioner said during discussion. The board noted the applicant has already raised matching funds and expressed support for the project's progress.

The motion to adopt Resolution No. 2025-11 passed on a roll call vote with commissioners recorded as voting in the affirmative. The county will sign the application and record the materials provided during the hearing into the public record.

The county will provide updates to the board as the project advances and as additional fundraising and design work proceed.","After a public hearing, the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 2025-11 authorizing the chair to sign a Community Development Block Grant application to act as pass-through for Las Mananitas Community Advocates; commissioners said the county is not committing its own funds.","actionData","errors"]
