Council approves interlocal agreement to provide public-health inspections in Crete’s extraterritorial area
Summary
Lincoln approved an interlocal agreement authorizing the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department to provide environmental public-health inspection, permitting and compliance services in the portion of the City of Crete’s extraterritorial jurisdiction that lies inside Lancaster County; staff clarified the resolution text to reference the extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The City Council voted July 13 to approve an interlocal agreement between the City of Lincoln (on behalf of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department) and the City of Crete to coordinate environmental public-health inspection, permitting and compliance within Crete’s extraterritorial jurisdiction that extends into Lancaster County.
Brock Hanish, division manager of environmental public health, presented the agreement and corrected the meeting summary text, saying the resolution should read that it applies to Crete’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. “That was a typo on my part,” Hanish said, and he described the agreement’s scope to include investigation of public-health nuisances, permitting of on-site wastewater systems, property-transfer inspections, water-well and septic oversight, subdivision reviews for areas not served by public water, and open-burning enforcement.
Hanish said the interlocal mirrors similar agreements the health department has with other Lancaster County jurisdictions, typically for a term not to exceed 10 years with either jurisdiction able to opt out by notice. Council members asked for confirmation that the language in the resolution and agreement is correct; the city attorney confirmed the formal documents contain the correct wording.
The council approved the interlocal agreement by unanimous vote.
