North Platte, Neb. — The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners will meet at 9 a.m. Monday in the commissioners room of the Lincoln County Courthouse to tackle a packed agenda that ranges from routine claims to a trio of land‑use requests near Jeffrey Reservoir.
Immediately after opening with a prayer and approving minutes from last week’s session, the board will review county claims and treasurer’s receipts and consider several housekeeping items, including:
- Signing updated National Functional Classification road and street maps for the Nebraska Department of Transportation.
- Filing the mid‑year Condition of the Treasury report covering Jan. 1–June 30.
- Approving a special‑designated liquor license for Big Red Liquor for an Aug. 2 event at Hanging H Ranch.
- Authorizing a letter naming the North Platte Area Chamber & Development Corp. and president Gary Person as the lead agency for local economic‑development efforts.
At 9:15 a.m. the commissioners will briefly recess and convene as the Board of Equalization to handle property valuation corrections, homestead‑exemption late filings and other assessment items before reconvening.
Certified public accountant Susan Maline will present the county’s preliminary 2025‑26 budget at 9:30 a.m.
Land‑use issues dominate the 9:45 a.m. slot, when commissioners will vote on two conditional‑use permits:
- Resolution 2025‑13 seeks approval for Cedar Bluffs LLC and Luke and Julie Rickertsen to develop about 30 separate 10‑acre home sites east of Jeffrey Reservoir.
- Resolution 2025‑14 would allow Tracy and Joyce Peterson to build a seasonal dwelling that doubles as a part‑time counseling clinic on South Snell Canyon Road.
Assessor Julie Stenger will outline her three‑year assessment plan update at 9:50 a.m., followed by a 10:10 a.m. tort‑claim discussion and a 10:20 a.m. briefing from Marvin Planning Consultants on the county’s comprehensive plan.
The board may enter closed session for litigation, real‑estate or personnel matters and will hear reports from elected officials before reconvening as the Board of Equalization to continue property‑valuation protests.
