Washington County Board of Supervisors The Board met in regular session at 3:13 pm on Tue, July 12, 2022 in the Supervisor’s meeting room at the courthouse in Blair, Nebr. Present: Chairman Steve Dethlefs, Board members Jordan Rishel, Bob Frahm, Kevin Barnhill, Lisa Kramer, Jay Anderson, and Steven Kruger. Also present, Co Clk Barb Sullivan, Sheriff Mike Robinson, and Co Atty Scott Vander Schaaf. Board unanimously approved the agenda for 6/12 and the minutes of the 6/28/22 meeting. Board unanimously approved the monthly fee reports and all claims. There was no correspondence. Bill Hansel, Hwy Supt, gave an update on Road Dept projects and equipment. Hansel then discussed the study of portion of right-of-way on Washington Ave as directed by Res 2022-15 and stated the following findings: 1) The portion of right-of-way only affects one landowner. 2) The vacating of this portion will not land lock any landowner. Therefore, I recommend vacating this portion of right-of-way and giving it back to the landowner requesting it. Josh Nelson gave a brief update on Noxious Weed conditions and inspections. Sheriff Mike Robinson stated Jail revenues for June were $19,435. Dethlefs discussed error found in the new wages for the Corporal pay in the Corrections step salary. Board voted unanimously to approve FOP Contract Addendum. Emergency Manager Dan Douglas gave a quarterly update and discussed upcoming projects and grants. Board discussed adjusting application fees for festival permits according to event sales instead of a flat $150 per application, as some events do not generate any revenue. Co Atty Vander Schaaf advised the board to table action until he can review the proposed changes. Mike Anderson and Doug Wolfe spoke on the matter. Board voted unanimously to adjust festival fee to $10 per application. Board voted unanimously to receive and place on file the Treasurer’s Semi-Annual Statement. Board voted unanimously to authorize Chairman to sign SDL Local Recommendation Form for Too Far North for event on 8/2/22. Comments from public: Mike Anderson spoke.
