Staplehurst delays action on 805 A Street plat; 725 B Street water project awaits DHHS and EPA approval
Summary
Discussion of a proposed 805 A Street plat and multiple water-system maintenance items was held March 25; the 805 A Street plat was not approved because the board lacked a quorum, and the 725 B Street water tower project remains contingent on DHHS and EPA approvals.
Village trustees discussed land-use and water-system items at the March 25 meeting but took no formal actions because a quorum was not present. Resident Rick McConnell raised details about the proposed 805 A Street plat (a total footage described as 296 feet); the board discussed the plat but deferred any decision to a later meeting.
Trustees reported that work at 725 B Street — described as a water tower project — cannot move forward until approvals are obtained from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A trustee reported those approvals are pending, and no timeline was given in the meeting remarks.
The maintenance report included several operational items related to the village water system: a curb stop repaired at 155 N 6th; plans to cap sewer and water services at 725 B Street; a curb stop at 805 A Street slated for repair; and a village commitment to replace a lead service line on the village side. The Consumer Confidence Report was scheduled to be included with the June water bill. Because the meeting lacked a quorum, any capital or contract approvals tied to these items were not finalized at this session.
The board also reviewed bids related to property cleanup: one new bid for $27,340 and a previously approved Greckel bid of approximately $7,000 to begin work in late April. The trustee who reported the cleanup bids did not provide vendor contract details during the meeting.
