Board signs off on administrative items: hospital fee, inheritance refund resolution, travel and IT transition planning
Summary
Commissioners approved a $6 increase for a community hospital fee, adopted a resolution to refund certain inheritance-tax funds if Nebraska Game and Parks reimburses engineering costs for Lakeview West, approved travel for a staff member to NACo, and discussed IT contract/transition logistics for 5 Nines and prospective vendors.
Several administrative motions and a formal resolution were approved during the meeting.
Hospital fee: Commissioners voted to accept a proposed $6 increase in a hospital-related fee (from $40 to $46), approving the change by roll call.
Inheritance-tax resolution: The board adopted a resolution to reimburse the county inheritance-tax fund any engineering payments made to Oak Creek Engineering for the Lakeview West project if Nebraska Game and Parks later reimburses those engineering costs. The resolution described prior action approving payment to Oak Creek Engineering and included contingency language to return funds to inheritance if Game and Parks provides appropriations.
Travel: The board approved a travel request for Jamie Moore to attend the NACo conference (Dec. 16–18) using a county vehicle; the motion passed by roll call.
IT / 5 Nines contract: The board reviewed correspondence related to the county’s IT contract with 5 Nines technology; a notice mailed Nov. 6 was returned as undeliverable and staff notified Ariel (account contact) verbally. Commissioners discussed the need to scan returned letters, confirm contract notice addresses, and schedule onboarding/transition timelines if a new vendor is selected. Staff indicated interviews and vendor onboarding are planned, with target onboarding discussed for May 1 and transition assistance in May–June at a reduced onboarding rate.
Next steps: staff to scan returned correspondence, confirm correct contract contact addresses, solicit proposals or interviews for IT vendors, and file the adopted resolution and travel forms.
