Nebraska City council renews LB840 Growth Fund Plan, sends ballot measure to November
Summary
After a public hearing where four supporters spoke, the Nebraska City Council approved Resolution 3008-26 renewing and amending the LB840 Economic Development Plan and placing associated ballot measure(s) on the November General Election ballot.
Mayor Bryan Bequette opened a public hearing June 15 on the renewal and amendments to the City of Nebraska City Economic Development Plan (LB840). Four members of the public — Jim Kuhn, Gloria Glover, Vic Johns and Lisa Walker — spoke in favor of the proposal, and no speakers opposed it.
Following the hearing, Commissioner Cole Sharp moved to approve Resolution 3008-26, described in the minutes as approving the LB840 Growth Fund Plan and ballot measure(s) for the November General Election. Commissioner Joe Chaney seconded the motion. The council unanimously approved the resolution with votes recorded in favor by Chaney, Patrick Wehling, Sharp, Ron Osovski and Mayor Bequette.
The minutes do not provide the ordinance or ballot language text; they record only that the Growth Fund Plan and related ballot measure(s) were approved to appear on the November ballot. The minutes also show the council received a separate Treasurer’s report and a monthly progress presentation from Goodlife Ag, LLC during the same meeting.
The LB840 plan renewal is a local economic development measure described in the meeting minutes as an update to the city’s Economic Development Plan; the council approved forwarding the measure to voters rather than adopting an alternate funding action at the meeting. The next procedural step recorded in the minutes is placement of the approved ballot measure(s) on the November General Election ballot.
