The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners will meet Monday, Feb. 9, at 9 a.m. in the Commissioners Room at the Lincoln County Courthouse.
Commissioners will begin the meeting with approval of minutes from the Feb. 2 meeting, followed by a public comment period. The board is also scheduled to review and act on routine business, including claims, treasurer’s receipts, and fee reports submitted by the Clerk of District Court, County Clerk, and County Sheriff. Commissioners will also consider authorizing the board chair to sign IRS Form 2848, a power of attorney and declaration of representative.
At 9:15 a.m., the board will recess and convene as the Lincoln County Board of Equalization. During that portion of the meeting, members will approve minutes from the previous Board of Equalization meeting, take public comment, and consider certificates of correction and refunds submitted by the County Assessor.
The board will then reconvene as the Board of Commissioners and take up several legislative-related items. At 9:20 a.m., commissioners will discuss and consider a letter of opposition to Legislative Bill 915. At 9:30 a.m., the board will consider a resolution opposing LB 1204. A letter of support urging a local state representative to vote “yes” on bipartisan housing reform legislation is scheduled for discussion at 9:40 a.m.
The agenda also allows time for a closed session, if necessary, to discuss matters including pending or imminent litigation, real estate transactions, security issues, or evaluation of job performance. The meeting will conclude with concerns from elected officials or department heads, followed by committee reports.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners reserves the right to take agenda items out of order and to enter closed session as needed. The meeting will be streamed live on the county’s YouTube channel.
