Lincoln County authorizes chair to sign Form 35-K county lottery report; board discusses use for community betterment
Summary
The board authorized the chair to sign the county’s Form 35-K lottery annual report to the Nebraska Department of Revenue and discussed that lottery funds (historically around $70–80K monthly) are typically used for community betterment projects such as bridge work.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners authorized the chair to sign Form 35-K, the county’s annual report for lottery receipts submitted to the Nebraska Department of Revenue. County finance staff explained the county piggybacks with the city on the lottery program and receives a monthly distribution that can vary by month.
During discussion, staff noted total disbursements over the course of the year were “roughly 633,000 and some change,” and commissioners observed monthly receipts commonly fall in the mid- to high‑$70,000 range in many months. Board members said that historically the county has applied lottery proceeds toward bridge projects and other community-betterment capital items. The board asked staff to ensure the figures on page 2 of the packet matched the annual receipts and confirmed the motion to authorize the chair to sign the Form 35-K.
Board members also asked staff to coordinate with the city clerk’s office on documentation and routing; the county will file the report with the Department of Revenue and continue allocating funds under community-betterment rules.
