The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners will meet Monday morning, Feb. 2, at the Lincoln County Courthouse, with multiple agenda items ranging from routine business to a liquor license public hearing.
The commissioners’ meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. in the Commissioners Room. After opening with prayer, the board is expected to approve minutes from its Jan. 26 meeting and hear public comment.
Commissioners will then consider several administrative items, including claims and treasurer’s receipts, a right-of-way permit for Allo Communications, and a special designated liquor permit request from DEAM LLC (Axes & Aces) for a Feb. 13 reception at The Farmhouse. The board will also discuss setting a date and location for a public hearing on the Lincoln County Comprehensive Plan and authorize the chair to sign a cremation authorization under state statute.
At 9:15 a.m., the board will recess and reconvene as the Lincoln County Board of Equalization. Items on that agenda include approval of prior meeting minutes, public comment, and certificates of correction and refund submitted by the county assessor.
The commissioners are scheduled to reconvene at 9:30 a.m. for a public hearing on an application for a Class D liquor license submitted by Ranchland Mini Mart LLC, doing business as Ranchland Mini Mart in Maxwell. Following the hearing, the board will consider whether to recommend approval to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission.
The agenda also allows for a possible closed session to discuss legal strategy, real estate matters, security issues, or job performance evaluations, if necessary. The meeting will conclude with concerns from elected officials or department heads and committee reports from the commissioners.
The meeting will be livestreamed on the county’s YouTube channel and is open to the public.
