Doniphan-Trumbull school board opens hearing on possible eminent domain for North Second Street parcel
Summary
The Board of Education of the Doniphan-Trumbull Public School District held a brief May 13 hearing to collect public input on a potential eminent-domain acquisition of a downtown Doniphan lot for school expansion; the board took no final action.
The Board of Education of the Doniphan-Trumbull Public School District opened a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday to receive input on a possible eminent-domain acquisition of a downtown Doniphan parcel, President Amanda Groff said.
Groff said the district is considering acquiring the North 50 feet of the South 75 feet of Lots 1 and 2, Block 5, Original Town of Doniphan (commonly described as the 100 Block of North Second Street) to expand existing school facilities. She told attendees the hearing was held under Nebraska Revised Statutes 25-2504 and 79-1096 and that public notice of the meeting had been published once a week for three consecutive weeks as required by state law.
Property owner Mike Meyer spoke during the public-comment portion to provide comments and information regarding the proposed acquisition. The transcript records that Meyer addressed the board but does not include a verbatim quote of his remarks.
Groff emphasized the board had not made a final determination and that no action to authorize condemnation would be taken at the hearing unless separately listed on the agenda. The board closed the hearing and adjourned at 6:35 p.m.
Dr. Jeremy Braden, the district superintendent, is recorded as signing the minutes. No motion or vote to pursue eminent domain is recorded in the hearing minutes.
