Nemaha County adopts 2014–15 budget, sets property tax rate and mandates time clocks for payroll compliance
Summary
After public hearings, the board adopted the FY2014–15 budget, set a county property tax rate at $0.342318 per $100 valuation, and adopted a policy requiring non‑exempt courthouse employees to use the county time clock for payroll compliance.
The board conducted public hearings in September and adopted the FY2014–15 Nemaha County budget. Commissioners voted to approve the allowable increase in the base limitation percentage and then adopted the final budget (Resolution 2014‑30). They set the county tax rate for 2014–15 at $0.342318 per $100 of valuation (Resolution 2014‑31).
In a separate administrative action to comply with recent payroll rules, the board ordered mandatory use of the courthouse time clock for all non‑exempt county employees. The decision followed staff recommendations and state guidance (LB 560 compliance) and was recorded as board policy for payroll documentation.
County leaders said the budget choices reflected fund balance reviews, fee reports and recurring spending; the time clock decision was presented as a measure to ensure accurate hour tracking and lawful overtime/comp time management.
