Lancaster County Board of Commissioners · June 2, 2026

Summary

Lancaster County accepted an amended Nebraska Crime Commission grant (CBA) to include delayed‑egress doors for Cedar's emergency shelter and approved related Title II grant certification forms and an RSAT lobbying disclosure.

Lancaster County accepted an amendment to its current CBA grant award from the Nebraska Crime Commission that will fund delayed‑egress doors at Cedar's emergency shelter, officials said.

"This is our current year CBA grant award funding. It's being amended to include the delayed egress doors for Cedar's emergency shelter," said Lesie Erenss of Lincoln Lancaster County Human Services. The board approved the grant amendment by roll call vote.

The board also approved certification and insurance forms required for the Nebraska Crime Commission Title II grant — including equal employment opportunity compliance, applicant risk assessment and disclosure of lobbying activities — and separately approved a disclosure of lobbying activities pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 1352 for the residential substance abuse treatment grant that supports transition services through St. Monica's and The Bridge.

County staff said Title II funds support programming at The Bay and an educational advocate at the Malone Center. Motions to approve these forms and disclosures passed unanimously on the record.
