Summary
At the March 17 meeting in Minden, Kearney County commissioners approved prior minutes and bills totaling multiple funds, heard a benefits presentation, directed the county attorney to revise the appointment policy, and discussed a proposed no-build easement with Royal Engineered Composites; the One & Six Year Road Hearing was held.
Kearney County commissioners met March 17 in the Board of Commissioners’ Room at the Kearney County Courthouse in Minden and approved the minutes from their March 3 meeting and routine bills and claims.
The board recorded approval of line-item claims across county funds, with totals listed in the minutes: General Fund $25,728.66; Road and Bridge Fund $43,782.46; Inheritance Tax Fund $16,435.45; 911 Wireless Service Fund $1,274.00, among other fund entries. The minutes include detailed vendor listings and amounts but do not provide a recorded vote tally for the approvals.
During regular business the board discussed the county Appointment Policy. The minutes state the county attorney will make adjustments to the policy and that the item will return for consideration at a future meeting. The minutes do not specify the proposed changes or a timeline for redraft.
The board also reviewed a No-Build Easement matter with Royal Engineered Composites after legal review by the county attorney. According to the minutes, Royal Engineered Composites will have a new No-Build Easement drafted and bring it back to a subsequent meeting for further action. No final easement was approved at this session.
Emergency Management presented correspondence related to a THIRA (Threat and Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment) workshop for the board’s information, and Michael Haumann of Aegis Benefits Group gave a coverage presentation; the minutes record no follow-up action on either item.
County Treasurer Jody Payne presented a list of properties that did not sell at the recent tax sale; the minutes note the presentation but do not list the parcels or state any ensuing action.
The board held the One & Six Year Road Hearing required by statute; the minutes state the hearing occurred but do not include the hearing transcript, project-by-project detail, or any formal adoption language in the recorded minutes.
The minutes note that public comment was opened and that no comments were made. The meeting record concludes with the standard attestation by the county clerk. Further action items—the appointment policy revisions and the drafted no-build easement from Royal Engineered Composites—are expected to return to the board at a future meeting.
