At its Aug. 14 meeting the Village of Cortland board approved routine minutes and treasurer report, moved to hold one vendor check pending an itemized invoice, approved a fence permit, special-event street closures, an SDL for Oct. 12, a concrete repair bid (contingent), a pickleball-equipment purchase, a Spookfest maze and a 25% highway allocation match; it adopted Resolution 2024-02 and scheduled a special meeting and a budget hearing.
The Village of Cortland board conducted a range of routine and project-specific votes on Aug. 14.
Early in the meeting the board approved procedural motions: receiving and filing notices and materials, approving the prior meeting minutes and the treasurer’s report. The board voted to withhold a July check to SENND pending contact and to void a misdirected Commonwealth check from July (Kohout abstained on the Commonwealth void). The board approved payment of the bills presented while requesting an itemized invoice from Sargent Drilling for a service call and holding that particular check pending clarification.
Other approvals included a building permit for a residential fence at 105 S. Washington St. (Noah and Courtney Klimm), permission to set up trailers and vendors the evening of Oct. 11 and block streets for the Once in a Blue Moon Festival on Oct. 12, and a Special Designated Liquor License for Schroeder Operations LLC for the Oct. 12 event.
The board approved taking the lowest concrete bid from Miller and Schoen for driveway repairs provided the contractor can start within two weeks, and asked the clerk to verify S&P bids so work is not duplicated. It also approved purchasing pickleball equipment from Bison, Inc. and authorized the Spookfest maze to be erected temporarily in advance of the gazebo lighting. The board adopted Resolution 2024-02 authorizing the Chairperson to sign the Municipal Annual Certification of Program Compliance (statutory references provided); the signed paperwork will be returned to the Nebraska Board of Public Roads Classifications & Standards before the Oct. 31 deadline.
The board approved holding a special meeting Aug. 26 at 6:30 p.m. for a valuation and levy review with Jennifer Busboom (Blobaum & Busboom CPAs) and scheduled a Budget Hearing for Sept. 11 at 6:30 p.m. The board approved a 25% highway allocation match of $1,795.00 and adjourned at 9:56 p.m.
Roll-call votes were recorded on multiple items; where recorded the vote was Yes: German, Goforth, Kohout, Birkett, Douglass, No: None; Kohout abstained on the Commonwealth void vote.
