At 9:45 AM Highway Superintendent Miller presented her recommendations for awarding the gravel bids. She recommended that the low bid be awarded in each township. She said she was also asked if a letter of irrevocable trust could be used instead of a bond for the amount of bid. Attorney Perkins said that they could not use that this year. Motion by Saathoff, seconded by Hynes to award bids for gravel to the lowest bidder in each township as follows: Kenesaw at 6.99, Verona at 7.05, Wanda at 7.59 and Juniata at 8.01 to Mid NE Aggregate; Highland at 7.85, West Blue at 7.75, Denver at 8.75 and Blaine at 8.95 to Consolidated; Cottonwood and Roseland at 8.99, Logan at 8.75, Silverlake at 9.05 and Ayr at 9.58 to Mid NE Aggregate; Hanover at 9.49; Little Blue at 9.79 and armor coat at 7.75 to Deweese; Zero at 9.60 to Bladen Sand & Gravel; pit price at 5.00 and stockpile at the county shop at 7.77 from Mid NE Aggregate. Roll call, ayes: Kehoe, Larson, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, none. Miller also asked the Board to approve the appointment of Robert Hansen to the Planning Commission. Motion by Neumann, seconded by Kehoe to appoint Robert Hansen to the Planning Commission to represent Kenesaw Village for a term to expire April 2010. Roll call, ayes: Kehoe, Larson, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, none. She also advised the Board that Alex Eckert was resigning his position on the Board of Adjustments and alternate member, Larry Eckhardt was also resigning his position. She asked if any of the Board members knew of anyone who may be interested in serving on the Board to send a letter of interest to Miller. Neumann and Woodman stated that they appreciated Eckert’s 12 years of service. Dianne Fowler, Executive Director of Midland Area Agency on Aging, presented information to the Board regarding an amendment to LB 959. It seems that the Homestead Exemptions were over budgeted by $7.5 million and AARP Nebraska is asking the Appropriations Committee to pass this over budgeted amount to the Area Agencies on Aging since this money was originally budgeted to assist senior citizens. The Appropriations Committee has allowed an additional $250,000.00 for the Agencies but rightfully the full amount should go to the Agencies and help them to assist the state’s senior citizens and allow them to continue to live in their own homes. She gave the Board members phone numbers to contact their senators and the governor. Clerk Lewis told the Board that Adams County Bank has requested the release of a $200,000.00 custody receipt; however they have not presented a replacement at this time. Motion by Larson, seconded by Orthmann to release custody receipt number 3136F24E5 from Adams County Bank in the amount of $200,000.00. Roll call, ayes: Kehoe, Larson, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, none. Lewis also told the Board that with the appointment of Chrys Setlik to the Clerk of District Court position a vacancy was created on the County Grievance Committee. Five county employees had submitted their names in nomination and the employees voted on a member. Dan Furman received the most votes. Motion by Kehoe, seconded by Hynes to appoint Dan Furman to the County Grievance Committee as an alternate member with the term to expire January 2009. Roll call, ayes: Kehoe, Larson, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, none. Saathoff told the Board members that he had a discussion with Assessor Diane Hynes last week regarding government owned land that is being rented or leased and has a tax exempt status. She feels that if government subdivisions are receiving rent or payments for this property that the property should no longer be tax exempt. Saathoff stated that she had to send notices of change in tax status by March 1. He told her that he felt that the property should be placed on the tax rolls and notices should be mailed. The governments have 30 days to appeal. The Board recessed at 10:25 and reconvened at 10:30 AM. At 10:30 AM the Board opened bids for county audit. Four bids were received, NE State Auditor of Public Accounts, Tonniges and Associates, Contryman and Associates of Hastings and Dana Cole of Grand Island.
