Nebraska City approves renewal of LB840 economic development plan, places measure on November ballot
Summary
After a public hearing with four speakers in favor, the City Council unanimously approved Resolution 3008-26 renewing the LB840 Growth Fund Plan and directing placement of ballot measure(s) on the November general election ballot.
The Nebraska City Council on June 15 unanimously approved Resolution 3008-26 renewing the city’s LB840 Economic Development Plan and directing ballot measure(s) for the November general election.
The action followed a public hearing at which Jim Kuhn, Gloria Glover, Vic Johns and Lisa Walker each spoke in favor of the proposed plan and its amendments. Mayor Bryan Bequette opened and closed the hearing; council members voted to adopt the Growth Fund Plan after the public comment period.
The LB840 program is identified in the minutes as the subject of the hearing and the resolution; the council’s motion to approve was made by Commissioner Cole Sharp and seconded by Commissioner Joe Chaney. The roll-call vote was recorded as: Chaney, Wehling, Sharp, Osovski and Mayor Bequette voting yes; no votes were recorded against the motion.
No changes to the text of the resolution or the ballot language are detailed in the minutes. The record shows public support during the hearing but does not specify projected revenues, specific projects to be funded from the LB840 Growth Fund, or whether the measure is for plan renewal only or includes specific funding authorizations; those details were not specified in the minutes.
Next steps listed in the meeting record are placement of the measure(s) on the November ballot and standard election administration procedures. The minutes do not show a subsequent council vote on implementing projects funded by LB840 at this meeting.
