Cheryl
Wolverton joined the meeting and told the Board about some Courthouse safety
issues that were pointed out at a meeting she attended. She explained that most
of the issues were connected to the Custodial and Maintenance positions at the

that any snow removal should be recorded as far as the time it was done and if
salt was applied or not. They emphasized that you cannot take too many
precautions when it comes to safety. It was decided that our Custodian would be
informed that for safety purposes, all vacuuming and mopping should be done in

Mark
Mainelli joined the meeting.
Neal Brandyberry of RVW, Inc. appeared before the Board to
discuss gravel purchases and road conditions connected to the placing of fiber
optic cables for Stanton Telecom, Inc.
He was inquiring as to whether the County would pay some of the costs of
the road repairs since he felt that the rain caused some of the damages. Mr. Goodpasture stated
that in his opinion their company caused the damages and they are responsible
for costs of any repairs needed to the roads.
The Board told Mr. Brandyberry that they
thought Darrell Hansen, Bridge foreman had been quite fair when he calculated
the amount of gravel that was needed to repair the damages caused to the road,
but that he could contact Darrell and further discuss the matter if he
liked. He said that he would report the
Board’s opinions back to the company.
LaLene
Bates, Zoning Administrator joined the meeting. She presented the plat of the Zastrow Subdivision to be located in the SWSW & SESW
17-24-1. She explained that there was a
problem with the access roads into the proposed subdivision. Mr. Mainelli
advised the Board that the road would be located on a hill crest and could be a
cause of accidents. He advised that the
Board should require that an engineer sign off on the safety of the placement
of the driveways into the subdivision and that the plat should show the setback
of 100’ from the center of the county road.
Motion made
by Weatherholt, seconded by Goodpasture to approve
the Zastrow Subdivision with the condition that an
engineer’s signature should be obtained to sign off on the safety of the
placement of the driveways and that the plat would show the 100’ setback from
the center of the county road.
Voting: Ayes:
Weatherholt, Goodpasture and Kment. Nayes:
None. Motion Carried.
Mr.
Mainelli discussed several road projects with the Board and will line up
bidding on culverts and other materials needed for these projects. Mr. Goodpasture asked about placement of speed limit signs on
some county roads. Mr. Mainelli advised him that no slower speed signs should
be placed at those locations. Mr. Goodpasture asked if he could place a “Children At Play” sign there.
He was told that he could, but that it probably would not regulate speed
limits. He advised that patrolling by the Sheriff’s Dept. personnel in that
particular area for a few days might help. Mr. Goodpasture
asked about putting stop signs and making a four way stop at 843 Road and 560
Avenue. Mr. Mainelli said that a study
was done and stop signs were placed where the need is greatest.

joined the meeting.
Hearing was opened at 9:00 A.M. for
the addition of the Highway Corridor Overlay to the Comprehensive Plan of
Stanton County, Nebraska. Alan Platt attended the hearing and gave testimony.
He told the Board that he is not necessarily in favor of the Overlay District
since it could bring development along the highway near his land. He stated
that the supposed purpose was to help with economic development and if that is
the case, then why doesn’t the proposed Overlay District include highway 57,
highway 15 and highway 24? He also had some concerns with the proposed distance
from the highway for development and that he didn’t feel that landowners were
not given enough notification of the proposed changes. LaLene gave the Planning
Commission recommendation of approval of the Highway Corridor Overlay District
as presented.

stated that they had received some calls from citizens about the odor from the
compost site.

by Kment that the Zoning Administrator should send a letter to Mr. Doernemann
stating that he has had time to improve the situation at the compost site and
that there is no obvious improvement. Mr. Doernemann will be given 30 days to significantly

W. Bert Lammli,
Jim Kennedy joined the meeting to
discuss some problems he has with Mr. Goodpasture pertaining to a culvert
project in which Mr. Kennedy allowed the County to remove dirt from his land to
use on the culvert project at no cost.
Mr. Kennedy explained that it was his understanding that the County
would place rock or gravel on his driveway to repair any damages that were
caused by the removal or hauling of dirt.
It was his understanding that rock or gravel would be placed on his
entire driveway. Mr. Goodpasture stated
that Jim misunderstood the verbal agreement. Mr. Goodpasture explained that he
had agreed with Mr. Kennedy that any damages done to the driveway by the County
would be repaired and rock or gravel would be placed in those areas. He stated that the entire driveway was not
used by the County, but only certain areas.
Bill explained that members of the Bridge crew were there when they
discussed the dirt removal and repair of the driveway. Mr. Kennedy told the Board that he wanted
bigger rock on certain parts of the drive and large gravel would be fine for
the remainder. Mr. Lammli asked how much
dirt was removed and used by the County and how much this would have cost if
the County if they would have had to purchase the dirt and haul it. Some
amounts were figured and discussed. Mr. Goodpasture voiced his opinion that the
County should not be responsible for any more repairs other than the two loads
of gravel already placed in the driveway.
Motion made by Kment, seconded by
Weatherholt to furnish rock on the driveway around the building and larger
gravel on the remainder of the driveway not to exceed 8 loads and to reimburse
Mr. Kennedy for the cost of two loads that have already been placed there.

Representatives from Benefit
Management joined the meeting to discuss some health plan options for the

insurance plan. That would enable him to
come up with actual premium cost from these different companies. He stated that doing this does not mean that
the County is required to change plans, only that they are looking into
different options.

Weatherholt to authorize Benefit Management to get health information forms
from each subscriber to the BC/BS plan for the purpose of determining actual
premium costs to the County.

Kathryn Liebers,
with the District Probation Office came before the Board to discuss the
increase in projected probation costs.
She explained that they have leased a new building and that the cost of
this will be paid by the counties in the District according to case loads and
probation costs. She said that some of the counties were questioning the
increase and she decided to try to talk with each Board to explain the reasons
behind the increase. She explained that
they are doing a lot more of the electronically intensified supervised
probations and that this saves the counties money by not having to pay for jail
fees. The Board thanked her for coming.
