Summary
At its April 2 meeting the Dodge County Board unanimously approved payroll and claims, transferred $25,000 into the Indigent Fund, reappointed board members, and granted two conditional use permits for a telecommunications tower and a biosolids operation.
The Dodge County Board of Supervisors on April 2 unanimously approved previously budgeted payroll and accounts‑payable expenditures, voted to transfer $25,000 from the Inheritance Tax Fund into the Indigent Fund, and cleared a slate of routine appointments and land‑use permits.
The Board reaffirmed Finance Committee approvals made March 20 for previously budgeted wage and hour claims of $304,595.61 and financial claims of $342,612.26; at the meeting the Board approved submitted wage & hour claims of $299,555.10 and financial claims of $201,972.64. The Board also authorized a $25,000 transfer from the Inheritance Tax Fund to the Indigent Fund to address increased indigent expenses and agreed the money should remain in that fund rather than be repaid when other funds become available.
On appointments, the Board reappointed Ken Molacek to the Dodge County Board of Adjustment for a three‑year term ending March 31, 2028, and appointed Brad Fooken as an alternate member of the Board of Adjustment.
In land‑use actions the Board held two public hearings and approved conditional use permits. The Board accepted the Dodge County Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation and approved a CUP for Bradford and Cynthia Wehner to install a telecommunications tower in Maple Township, finding the proposal conforms with district regulations. The Board also approved a standard five‑year renewal of a biosolids permit for Jeff Hanson after Scott Nun, representing the City of Fremont and Hanson, said the operation follows regulations and typically applies biosolids by Thanksgiving.
As Board of Equalization business, supervisors approved tax roll corrections #5767 and #5768, referred a Nebraska Tax Equalization and Review Commission matter (Decision & Order affirming the Board’s previous decision in Kishen M. Patel, Case No. 22C 0276) to County Attorney Hopkins, and granted a motor vehicle tax exemption for a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country van owned by Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska, Inc.
The Board adjourned at 10:24 A.M. and scheduled its next regular meeting for April 16, 2025.
