- Ordinance 87-54 through Ordinance 87-58 — Five consent-agenda ordinances were adopted by consent vote. These included: amendment to municipal speed limits (87-54); deed of sale for Marlatt Fourth Edition property to Kearney Area Habitat for Humanity (87-55); and creation of paving, water and sanitary sewer improvement districts for Marlatt Fourth Edition (87-56 through 87-58). Roll call recorded all ayes; outcomes: adopted.
- Consent agenda — The council voted to approve items 1 through 12 on the consent agenda as a single motion; roll call recorded ayes; items included contracts, routine approvals and the five ordinances above.
Notable details recorded during discussion: the city attorney and staff explained that the new Keno operator arrangement will use an interlocal agreement with the City of Omaha; the arrangement guarantees Kearney 8.75% of gross proceeds under the vendor’s proposal, places Omaha in an administrative role for the larger game, and allows either party to terminate the interlocal on 60 days’ notice. That structure was discussed by council members but appears as background in the consent agenda record rather than a separately debated ordinance in this meeting.
