Arnold trustees approve conditional-use permits, contracts, personnel changes and state certification resolution
Summary
At their Aug. 11 meeting the Village of Arnold Board of Trustees approved conditional-use permits for a museum/bed-and-breakfast and expanded storage units, accepted a propane bid of $1.59/gal, authorized equipment and internet contracts, appointed two board and staff members and adopted Resolution 2025-3 for municipal road program certification.
The Village of Arnold Board of Trustees on Aug. 11 approved a series of routine and substantive items, including two conditional-use permits, several contracts and personnel appointments.
The board authorized issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to the Arnold Area Historical Society, represented at the hearing by Board President Renee Bubak and other society members, to permit 203 W Jefferson to be used as a museum (upper level) and a bed-and-breakfast (lower level). The board authorized Interim Zoning Administrator Mike Harvey to issue the permit; Trustee Jason Jenkins recorded an abstention on that vote (motion by Donnell DeLosh, second Austin Snyder).
The board also authorized a Conditional Use Permit for Neil Coleman (DBA Coleman Storage) to allow construction of the second half of existing storage units at 103 N Broadway; applicants Neil and Diana Coleman attended the hearing and the permit was approved unanimously (motion by Glen Bowers, second Austin Snyder).
On procurement and routine contracts the board accepted a one-year propane bid from Country Partners Cooperative at $1.59 per gallon (motion Austin Snyder/second Glen Bowers) with Trustee Donnell DeLosh abstaining on the propane vote. The board accepted a $4,490.01 quote from Eakes for a Sharp color multi-function document system and authorized Chairman Zach Hagler to sign the service and supply agreement; it also authorized Hagler to sign a 36-month internet-services contract with Great Plains Communications (motions carried unanimously).
For personnel and appointments the board appointed Judy Gracey to the Arnold Housing Authority Board to fill the unexpired term of Lee Eastburn (unanimous). The board appointed Eric Holmberg as Village Superintendent (motion Jason Jenkins/second Donnell DeLosh) and set his hourly pay at $23.50 effective Oct. 1, 2025, with additional $1.00/hour differentials for wastewater certification and pesticide certification.
The board adopted Resolution 2025-3, authorizing the Village Board Chairperson to sign the Nebraska Municipal Annual Certification of Program Compliance form as required by State of Nebraska statutes (Sections 39-2115, 39-2119, 39-2120, 39-2121 and 39-2520(2)). The resolution passed on a unanimous vote.
Other administrative actions included the board’s vote to submit an application to the West Central Nebraska Development District for participation in a four-year nuisance-abatement program and acceptance of municipal ownership of a SORC sign after DOT rules required village ownership for the approved sign placement. The board agreed to remove a playground “funnel” game that staff reported was being used as a climbing structure.
The meeting closed after the clerk provided operating updates, including a Sept. 2 special meeting notice for a Class C liquor license public hearing and budget workshop, a scrap-tire cleanup grant application and various equipment and well repairs.
Minutes and roll call votes recorded at the meeting supply the official record of each action.
