Loading...
Summary
Lancaster County commissioners approved a multi-item consent agenda covering contract amendments for owner-occupied rehabilitation and housing management, multiple appraisal and equipment contracts, right-of-way payments to property owners, banking authorization resolution, memorandums of understanding for parts and lighting, and a special events liquor license for the Seostris Shrine.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners approved a block of routine consent items March 3, adopting contract amendments, right-of-way payments and memoranda of understanding without separate discussion after the clerk described the items.
Consent items included contract amendments with the Southeast Nebraska Development District to administer owner-occupied rehab and housing management duties; engineering and appraisal contracts (Eurtec USA; BI Incorporated; Qbert Appraisal Group; R L Keith Consultant); and multiple right-of-way payments to private property owners for county projects.
The board also approved a resolution adopting the county's 2026 designated bank depositories and corporate banking authorizations and authorized memoranda of understanding with vendors: Anderson Auto Group (estimated cost not to exceed $250,000 for parts/services) and Voss Electric (doing business as Voss Lighting) for bulbs, ballasts and retrofit kits (cost not to exceed $20,000).
Henry Schultz, identified as treasurer of the Sausage Shriners, asked the board to approve a special designated license for an outdoor tasting event in Roca on April 11; he said the event typically draws about 300 people. The board approved the license.
On a separate claims vote earlier in the meeting the board approved a claim for $11,320.53 to El Centro de las Americas; Chair Krista Yocom abstained, saying she serves on that organization's board.
All listed consent and routine items were carried by roll call.
