At 9:45 the Board held a public hearing for amending the zoning resolutions for stockpiling and application of paunch manure and related products. Todd Buhr of 4785 N Highland Rd, Hastings, NE spoke regarding his concerns for stockpiling and application of grit which is defined in the revised Zoning Regulations. HE stated that he has recently looked into utilizing this product and some of the amended regulations could create issues for him in his farming operation and the application of the grit. He apologized that he did not take his concerns regarding the revisions to the Planning Commission but said he only recently read about the proposed changes in the paper. Board members had several questions for Mr. Buhr about the grit product and composting the product. Marty Stange of Hastings Utilities also appeared to express concern about the requirement to get a second permit from the County for application of sewage sludge when they must initially have a permit from DEQ. He asked if this one permit could be sufficient for County purposes as well. The Board had some questions of Mr. Stange regarding the wellhead protection areas and application of this product. No one else appeared and the hearing was closed. Motion by Curtis, seconded by Thomsen to refer the amendments to the Zoning Regulations for stockpiling and application of paunch manure and similar products back to the Planning Commission for more discussion and possible changes. Roll call, ayes: Thomsen, Curtis, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, none. The Board conducted a public hearing for the proposed One and Six Year Road Plan. Highway Superintendent Dawn Miller introduced the plan and stated there was one addition to the preview from the last Board meeting and that is the addition of a small structure on Blue Valley, ½ mile west of Liberty. This is on the Webster County line and will be a Webster County project since it is their mile for maintenance. The Chairman asked for those wishing to speak to come forward. Phil Bonifas of 10300 S Prosser Ave expressed concerns about the asphalt just south of Highway 74 going past the Roseland Cemetery. It is breaking up badly. He also stated that a narrow culvert 1 5/8 mile south of Highway 74 on S Prosser Ave is dangerous and it is imperative that it be replaced as there could be a potentially fatal accident there. Miller stated that this is a maintenance issue and it is on the Roads Dept maintenance plan for replacement this year. John Kinley of 18675 S Prosser Ave, Bladen NE stated there is a culvert plugged at Oregon Trail and Wanda Ave and it causes water to back up on the road and on 1- 2 acres of his land and the County needs to address this issue as soon as possible. Woodman said this also is a maintenance issue and is not on the One and Six Year Plan. Marilyn Reynolds of 2930 W Silverlake Rd, Blue Hill, NE stated that she difficulty getting to work because only 300 feet of W Silverlake is County road and the rest is township. Recently she has had difficulty getting to work as the road north of her is also a township road. She said if the road north was graveled it would help. Miller said she would contact Zero Township about what their cost of gravel for that road would be. Miller also stated that access to this property would be helped with completion of projects 401A and 401 B which would replace a timber bridge on Silverlake ¼ mile east of Highway 281and place two culverts and raise the road 6 feet ¾ mile east of Highway 281 on Silverlake. These are projects on the One Year Plan. No one else appeared and the hearing was closed. There was further discussion regarding the asphalt portion of S Prosser Ave past the Roseland Cemetery and the fact that there just isn’t money available to do replace it. An estimate of cost at today’s prices is around $300,000.00, especially if the State Legislature does away with County Inheritance Tax. The paved portion of Wanda Ave past a cemetery was discussed and was stated if one road is done, both should be done. There was discussion of adding both roads to the One and Six Year Plan. Brad Hemberger of 9004 S Mead Ave, Roseland NE said he understands the funding issue and he would rather see the asphalt torn up and returned to gravel than have weight restrictions placed on the asphalt portion of S. Prosser Ave. He asked that the two roads not be added to the One and Six Year Plan. Motion by Saathoff, seconded by Curtis to approve the One and Six Year Road Plan as presented. Roll call, ayes: Thomsen, Curtis, Neumann, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, Hynes.

She stated she has discussed this with Tom Hawes, County Court Magistrate. Motion by Curtis, seconded by Hynes to approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Interlocal Agreement with County Court for sharing of services when one office is closed. Roll call, ayes: Thomsen, Curtis, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann< Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, none. Judy Mignery, Planning Administrator, reported that the visit to the Richard Schmidt feeding facility shows that the application for construction of a Waste Storage Facility was warranted and done within the Adams County Zoning Regulations. She stated that she has prepared a letter to be sent to Nebraska Dept of Environmental Quality. Dawn Miller presented a resolution to the Board setting Spring weight limitations on county asphalt roads. She stated there is an addition that would include Adams Central Ave from 12th St south to Highway Six.
