Canon Rath talks with North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher as they discuss different discussion points from the July 5th, North Platte City Council Meeting.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE, NEB - The July 5th North Platte City Council meeting has officially gone by and there were a handful of different discussion points on the agenda. The meeting took place Wednesday due to the 4th of July falling on a Tuesday. Some of the highlighted discussion points include extraterrestrial line which has been discussed the past few weeks about extending the city out, deacons point development, and New Haven housing on west A.&nbsp;

The final reading of ordinance 4129 took place yesterday at the city council meeting and the extraterritorial line has been extended. "The final reading of the ordinance that extended the extraterritorial line for zoning here in North Platte and now we have extended that line out to the southwest area of North Platte," said North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher. "It goes a little further to the southwest to cover that potential housing development we have going on out there so the houses that are built out in that area will be required to follow city zoning."&nbsp;

Canon Rath talked with North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher about different discussions points during the June 5th, 2023 North Platte City Council Meeting&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE, NEB – The June 20th North Platte City Council meeting has come and gone, and the council went through their agenda. Some of the highlights from the council meeting included the second reading of ordinance 4129, which is a two-mile extension zone near State Farm RD and South Buffalo, what's going on during NebraskaLand Day’s, the jobs and housing situation in North Platte, and the relationship between supply and demand. &nbsp;

The reading of ordinance 4129, which is the two-mile extension zone around State Farm RD and South Buffalo RD was having its second reading since the June 5th city council meeting. The two-mile zone is roughly a two-mile circle around North Platte. “If you live in that area and build something new, you have to comply with the city's building standards” said North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher. “The reason we are doing this, is that there is a housing development being proposed on the edge of the two-mile zone and the two-mile zone would have cut right into the middle of it.”&nbsp;

Some of the highlights from the council meeting included the second reading of ordinance 4129, which is a two-mile extension zone near State Farm RD and South Buffalo, what's going on during NebraskaLand Day’s, the jobs and housing situation in North Platte, and the relationship between supply and demand. &nbsp;</p><p>The reading of ordinance 4129, which is the two-mile extension zone around State Farm RD and South Buffalo RD was having its second reading since the June 5th city council meeting. The two-mile zone is roughly a two-mile circle around North Platte. “If you live in that area and build something new, you have to comply with the city's building standards” said North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher. “The reason we are doing this, is that there is a housing development being proposed on the edge of the two-mile zone and the two-mile zone would have cut right into the middle of it.”&nbsp;</p><p>If you want to learn more from Mayor Kelliher’s thoughts from the city council meeting, click the podcast above.

Lake McConaughy Area Outdoor Report for week of June 19

Canon Rath talked with Runza owner Josh Catlett about the new Runza building located at E &amp; Jeffers Street in North Platte. &nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE, NEB – North Platte is the home of two Runza locations which are both owned by Josh Catlett. The location from B &amp; Jeffers has officially moved right up the road to E &amp; Jeffers. The brand-new building brings excitement to the community as it’s the home of a new Runza location. What brought Runza to town 35 years ago was the building at B &amp; Jeffers Street and it has served its purpose.&nbsp;

The new location offers easier access to the drive-through line and more parking in the lot. “The thing that’s going to be nice for the new building is the fact that the drive through lane, your car won’t be hanging out on the street,” said Runza Owner Josh Catlett. “The parking lot is going to be so much bigger and easier to get in and out of and so the convenience of it of the whole getting in and getting out and being safer.”&nbsp;

The new location at E &amp; Jeffers is open to the public through the drive-through lane only. The drive through lane is open during business hours of 10:30 am – 10:00 pm. The lobby should be open within the next few days. &nbsp;

Keith County Give Big - Conversation with Elizabeth Dyches from the Trails West CASA

Canon Rath talked with North Platte St. Pats Cheer Coach Lisa Trosynki and Dance Coach Julia Harrach about how Skills USA, Strutters Dance Team and the St. Pat’s Cheerleaders will be working the concession stand at NEBRASKALand Days.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE, NEB – NEBRASKAland Days is almost upon is and the two weeklong festivals always have plenty of opportunities to raise money through fundraisers. This year at all four rodeos, both concerts, and Taps and Toons, the North Platte St. Pat’s will be running those concession stands. The three groups that are involved with running the concessions stands are Skills USA, Strutters Dance Team, and the St. Pat’s Cheerleaders. 

The organizations that are involved with helping run concession stands can all be beneficial with the money they raise. A big issue that has come up is that these groups must pay for their uniforms and at times travel expenses can be costly. All three groups have similar but different uses for the funds that are raised. &nbsp;

For the dance and cheer teams, they have to purchase their uniforms. “Each program even though they are school sponsored, they still encore expenses that the school can’t cover,” said North Platte St. Pat’s Strutter Dance Coach Julia Harrach “Like uniform expenses, every cheerleader and dancer own their own uniform that they have to pay for themselves.” Uniform expenses can always be a tough challenge to pay for. These fundraiser events are important to help these three organizations raise funds for their programs.&nbsp;

Mid-Plains United Way Radiothon - Donate to Nebraska Youth Center

Canon Rath talked with North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher about different discussions points during the June 5th, 2023, North Platte City Council Meeting.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE, NEB – The June 5th North Platte City Council meeting has come and gone and there were many topics on the agenda. Some of the highlight agenda would feature technology changes, interlocal agreements between the city of North Platte and Lincoln County, series of public hearings on West State Farm Road and East State Farm Road, and Merrill appointments. 

All city council meetings are streamed through YouTube and outdated technology can be an issue. “Couple things we have talked about over the last year in fact if not longer is the audio and visual equipment inside the city council chamber and it’s kind of old and needs to be replaced,” said North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher. “We had some issues with it, it’s probably been about two months ago now and just barely found the parts to get it to work. So, we are looking at getting that replaced.” For more on the mayors' thoughts from the city council meeting, listen to the podcast above.
