Wilcox trustees approve handicap-ramp permit, SDL application and temporary Main St. closure for June 7 banquet; clerk reports meter‑reading issues
Summary
On Feb. 11 the Village of Wilcox Board of Trustees approved building permit #404 for a handicap ramp (with modifications), authorized Thunderhead Brewing Co. to apply for an SDL and approved a temporary closure of Main St. for a June 7 alumni banquet; the clerk reported complications implementing UBHub and a new meter‑reading system.
The Village of Wilcox Board of Trustees unanimously approved several permits and event requests at its Feb. 11 meeting, including a building permit to install a handicap ramp and an application and street closure for an upcoming June event.
Trustee Nash moved and Trustee Adam seconded approval of building permit #404 for R. Blank to install a handicap ramp. The Wilcox Planning Commission had recommended conditions: the ramp be 36 inches wide (instead of 30) and have handrails on both sides. The motion to approve the permit with those changes carried with all members voting in favor.
Thunderhead Brewing Co. requested approval to apply for a special designated liquor (SDL) license for an Alumni Banquet on June 7, 2025, and permission to block a 157-by-100-foot section of Main St. from 7:00 p.m. to midnight that night. Trustee Norman moved, Trustee Nash seconded to grant approval for Thunderhead to apply for the SDL and to have the chairman authorize the application form; Trustee Johnson moved, Trustee Adam seconded to approve the street closure. Both motions carried with all members voting in favor. The signed SDL form, street-blocking diagram and a letter will be provided to Thunderhead Brewing Co. so the company can submit the materials to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission.
Trustee Adam said he will contact Miller and Associates to draw lot lines and street/alley recommendations for the 310 N. Noxon property and to create signage for the Wilcox West Addition lots.
Clerk Melinda Ferree told the board she is experiencing complications implementing UBHub and the new meter-reading system; the minutes do not record a timetable or corrective action. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Record of votes: motions to approve the treasurer’s report, to approve all claims, to approve building permit #404, to authorize the SDL application, and to approve the street closure all carried with all members voting in favor (five trustees present).
