The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners will consider several tax-related resolutions, a right-of-way permit and other county business during its meeting Monday, October 19, at the Lincoln County Courthouse in North Platte.
The commissioners meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. in the Commissioners Room, with the Board of Equalization scheduled to meet at 9:15 a.m.
During the commissioners meeting, board members will consider authorizing the chair to sign a right-of-way permit submitted by Eustis Plumbing. They will also consider resolutions allowing the Brady Cemetery District and Brady Rural Fire District to amend their levy allocation requests.
The agenda includes approval of minutes from the October 12 commissioners meeting, along with claims and treasurer’s receipts. A public comment period is also scheduled.
