A few close races in May 13 primary

By Ray [email protected]

Charlie Hatfield topped the Paw-nee City City Council field and Kay Laun unseated Brad Stake for Pawnee County Commissioner in the May 13 primary.

There were 862 votes cast in Pawnee County with a 45.88 per-cent turnout.

Cheryl Dahlgren won a close race for Pawnee County Treasurer and Candi Tuxhorn was the winner in the County Clerk’s race. Steve Glenn bested Rob Schafer in the Regents race.

Dahlgren said in an email, “I would like to thank all of my con-stituents for their support by voting for me in the primary election.

Their votes were very much ap-preciated.”

Hatfield garnered 129 votes while newcomers Mark Sunneberg, Jr. and John Wissler were close be-hind with 120. Gale Nutter became the fourth qualifier for the general election with 85 votes while SCC student R.J. Hickey was eliminated after making a good showing in his first race with 72 votes.

“I would like to thank everyone who came out and voted, was a beautiful day to get out. Hoping to see everyone out again in Novem-ber,” Hatfield said in an email.

Tied for second place, John Wissler said, “First of all I would like to thank everyone who par-ticipated in Tuesday’s election. I look forward to the next plus five months to attend Council meetings to get a more in depth understand-ing of the issues that come before the Council. Also I hope to have a grasp on the city budget and the nuances of it to get the most ‘bang for our buck.’ I would ask any residents of P.C. to give me guid-ance on what they feel the city can improve upon in an effort to make our city better. We all need to en-courage more to vote in November. Given that only 44 votes separated the top four your vote will make a difference.”

Mark Sunneberg, Jr. said, “I’d say just a big thank you for those who voted for me. I appreciate everyone that took the time out

of there busy days to come vote. If elected this fall, I won’t let you down!”

Kay Laun, who had been a com-missioner previously, beat Brad Stake, Chairman of the Commis-sioners 142-97 in District 2.

Tuxhorn, who is the deputy County Clerk, was the winner in the Clerk's race over Mary E. Sporhase, 517-98.

“While campaigning for County Clerk I went door to door or mailed a brochure to all the Republicans in the county. It was interesting to see the parts of the county that I wasn’t familiar with and getting to visit with and to meet constitu-ents that I hadn’t met before. I am overwhelmed with the amount of support I received on election day. I am honored and look for-ward to serving the residents of Pawnee County,” Tuxhorn said in an email.

The Board of Regents race was between two Pawnee City people, businessman Steve Glenn and Beatrice attorney and current Re-gent, Rob Schafer. Glenn won the primary, but both will advance to the November election. Glenn got 14,901 votes and Schafer received 12,855 votes. Third place finisher Robert J. Prokup received 8,389 votes.

“We are excited to have won the primary election for the Nebraska Board of Regents on Tuesday. I am a graduate of the University of Nebraska and my family has been so blessed to live, work and raise our family in Nebraska. It would be an honor for me to serve the University of Nebraska as a mem-ber of the Board of Regents with a new voice focusing on our bright future. If elected in November our focus will be to make attending the University affordable for all Ne-braskans. I would also be a strong advocate for rural economic de-velopment and agriculture. Thanks to everyone in Pawnee County for your support. I am proud to call Pawnee City my home,” Glenn said in an email.

Laura Turnbull

PawneeObserver

Remember, mom is right, and it's not too late to listen!Lots of things noted this week: All the trailer

hookups at the City Pond were in use; a pair of large geese with their goslings have taken up residence at the pond; there is some exca-vation happening outside the former Christian Church, and a bunch of work in a new area at Smith Auto.

Have you noticed the flower baskets attached to the light poles around the square?

Congratulations to all the graduates.Congratulations to the PCHS track teams for a

fantastic season.Enjoy all the coming weekend activities and

please remember to honor the memory of those who have served our country and those who are still in service.

* * *Mom was right! Every year I heard her say not to put any plants

out until after May 20. Frost free date as listed in some official publications is May 10. Then I was told it was changed to May 15. WRONG!

Mom was right. She always insisted and warned that one should never put out any plants early. Not until after May 20!

Most years I have adhered to that, and been envious of those people who got a head start by putting in tomatoes, other vegetables and flowers early in May or even late April.

My only bragging right is that I have had rad-ishes for a couple of weeks now.

Last Saturday was super warm, and I exhausted myself putting out plants. Lots of them - as many as I could get done in a day.

I get to do it again! Last week on two nights we had a killer frost.

I didn’t realize how sad floppy, black tomatoes plants look. Or how opaque rose moss is when it freezes.

I covered them, but not with the right stuff apparently.

Mom came from a family of nursery pros. She knew the Latin name for most vegetation. My dad had expert knowledge of the flora and grafted

shrubs and trees.I am a total misfit.I‘ve written this before,

but Mom would hold up one of my house plants and scold: “Laura, you killed it!” Indeed I did, but I didn’t do it on pur-pose.

One time she snatched up one of my plants and took it home to revital-ize it. She assured me she would bring it back to health. She killed it. I almost gloated! Well, I did inside, but I never let Mom know that I cel-ebrated over her failure.

So the conclusion is: Remember Mom is right, and there is hope that I can still be taught this in my very mature years.

When we see so many young men with their hair parted in the middle and hanging down over their foreheads so as to obscure every trace of intellect and so many young woman with their hair all frizzy-frowsy and flop-ping around over their faces in fifty different directions, we are not surprised that the followers of Darwin are now positively sure that mankind descended from the monkey.

Summer readers take off at Pawnee City Public Library

Primary Election went pretty smooth. “ Most of our phone calls were voters thinking they were registered with a party affiliation and were registered as NonPartisan. They could get a NonPartisan ballot and the Republican ballot but the only thing on the Republican ballot for a NonPartisan was the United States Senatorial race and the Con-

gressional race and no local races. We ended up with 45.88% turnout, which I am proud of.

We were able to close out election night and be home by 10 o’clock which is so much different from the old days when we worked until midnight and after.

Our poll workers do a great job and make election day run very smooth,” she said in an email.

Kody Daily, soon to be a fresh-man at Pawnee City High School, donated 11 inches of her hair to Locks of Love last week.

Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvan-taged children in the United States and Canada under the age of 21 who are suffering from long-term medi-cal hair loss from any diagnosis. The donated hair is used to create the highest quality hair prosthetics.

“I see people who don’t have any or short hair. These people should have beautiful hair,” she said.

Kody said summer was a good

time to cut her hair because it is a ‘big hassle’ during the summer and besides, it saves on shampoo, as her mother Aimee pointed out.

Aimee and son Kolby and grand-ma Lola Seitz were at Haughton’s to watch Amber Lewis cut the long hair in a few minutes.

This isn’t her first time to cut her hair for Locks of Love. Her first time was three years ago.

Kody heard about Locks of Love in the first grade when a classmate showed her a recent cut that ended in donation to Locks of Love.

“I thought that was cool,” she said.

Three years ago she cut 7 and half inches off. This time, it measured 11 inches, all going for a good cause.

“Nebra ska N ice” i s Nebraska’s new tourism brand.

Nice. The dictionary says: “giving pleasure or joy; good and enjoyable; at-tractive or of good quality; kind, polite, and friendly.” At the risk of sounding snarky, isn’t that nice?

The brand is the result of nine months of research and development. A Nebraska Nice brand pro-motional campaign, coming soon, will showcase some of Nebraska's best assets, says Nebraska Tourism Commission Vice Chairman, John Chapo. He added that research clearly showed that one of Nebraska's strongest assets is its people.

Commission Director Kathy McKillip said the process of branding Nebraska as a destination is more than creating a symbol or slogan. “We set out to find a message that would resonate with Nebraskans and will very quickly communicate Nebraska's strengths to potential visitors,'' she said.

Resonate. The dictionary says: ”to continue to produce a loud, clear, deep sound for a long time; to have particular meaning or importance for some-one; to affect or appeal to someone in a personal or emotional way.”

The loud, clear, deep sound has been one of disbelief and discontent. Nine months of research to come up with a slogan that has previously been used by neighbors Minnesota and Iowa? Some $75,000 to come up with something that has been labeled everything from lame to innocuous?

There are those who have started a social media campaign to revive “Nebraska … the good life” which is still on entrance signs to the state but hasn’t been the official slogan since 1974. Thank the late Governor Jim Exon for having the fore-sight to get that one on the signs. The theme of the disgruntled seems to be, we can do better.

A poll in the Scottsbluff Star-Herald revealed that 63.6 per-cent of respondents believed that “we could do better” than Nebraska Nice. Only 3.6 percent said they “liked” the slogan and the balance said, “it doesn’t matter.”

A retired newspaper photographer encouraged Facebook friends to use nice as an acronym. An editor friend commented, “Nebraska: Interstate Construction Endless.” That’s a reminder of yet another blah Nebraska slogan, “possibilities … endless.” Another Facebooker offered, “Nearly In Colorado! Exciting!”

On a positive note, one offered this signage to be placed near communities that have Runza Restaurants and Valentino’s Pizza Restaurants: “Now I Can Eat.”

McKillip said she hopes the new brand will “help spread the word that Nebraska truly is a nice place to be.” A commission spokesperson said Nebraska Nice has a dual meaning. It's not only about Ne-braskans being nice to visitors and each other, it's also a reference to the nice moments that make the best vacations memorable and special, the special moment that is talked about for years and years to come.

A friend suggests that we not fault the advertising agency that came up with the brand slogan. After all, they were just doing their job and they DID manage to sell it – recycled or not – to the tourism commission. Another suggests that maybe several ideas should have been floated with an opportunity for Nebraskans to vote.

Sure. Kind of like when we all got to vote for suitable license plates and wound up with a bird and a flower and a color combination that looked like any number of neighboring states.

Sorry. That wasn’t nice now, was it!

On May 26, we will observe the Memorial Day holiday, which gives us an opportunity to pause and re-member those who are no longer with us, particularly those who made the ultimate sacrifice to our nation while serving in America’s armed forces. I want to encourage you to attend one of the many observances that will occur across Nebraska in our local communities and help us honor the memories and sacrifices of our veterans. Their contributions to our country must not be forgotten.

As a veteran, I know how impor-tant it is to observe Memorial Day. Honoring our fallen comrades is an important tradition that sends powerful messages to our veterans and their families, our communities, and to those who continue to serve our nation.

It is important to honor our veter-ans when they return from service. One way is to help them find jobs as they reenter the work force. In 2012, the Nebraska Department of Labor joined with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to hold Hiring Our Heroes events throughout the state. This initiative has helped veterans all across the country find employ-ment.

Additionally, we’ve teamed with business and veterans groups in-cluding the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Nebraska’s businesses and others to promote “The Good Life for Veterans” jobs recruiting campaign. The Good Life for Veterans initiative builds upon the Hiring Our Heroes program.

Nebraska employers and other rep-resentatives are attending a series of military career fairs in several states for the purpose of bringing veterans to Nebraska. The next career event is being held at the Fort Carson em-ployment fair in Colorado Springs, Colorado on May 22. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Okla-homa, Kansas and Colorado had a higher number of unemployed veter-ans than Nebraska in 2013. Around a third of the states averaged veteran unemployment rates of 7 percent or above, including several states

averaging above 10 percent. The initiative began after a Ne-

braska Chamber survey found that more than half of nearly 450 private busi-ness survey re-spondents had e x p e r i e n c e d difficulty hir-ing qualified e m p l o y e e s during the past year. More than 25 percent of r e s p o n d e n t s said a lack of available labor or skilled em-ployees was the key issue limiting their growth. At the same time, employers have ex-pressed their desire for the commit-ment, maturity and diversity that ex-ists within the veteran population.

The Nebraska Chamber has es-tablished the website www.The-GoodLifeForVeterans.com to help share the initiative with out-of-state veterans, including former Nebraska residents. The site contains informa-tion about living and working in Ne-braska, as well as veteran services, education, recreation and entertain-ment. The Department of Labor produced a video titled “Nebraska Hires Veterans” that can be found on the website and features veterans from across the country who have found good jobs in Nebraska. Addi-tionally, the recruiting video can be found on the Department of Labor website, http://www.dol.nebraska.gov/NEHiresVets.cfm.

On behalf of all Nebraskans, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of the families of our service members for the sacrifice that they have made on behalf of our nation. I would also like to thank our vet-erans and their families, as well as all those current military members and families for the sacrifices they have made and continue to make on behalf of this great state and a grateful nation.

Nebraska Nice slogan causes questions and controversy

Honoring Veterans This Memorial Day

Soon Nebraskans will gather with friends, family, and loved ones to observe Memorial Day. While many spend time over the long weekend relaxing and enjoying the beginning of sum-mer, the federal holiday is also an opportunity for us to reflect on the memory of those who paid the highest price for our freedoms.

Their service and commitment to defending our nation’s truest values are the reason Americans can continue to enjoy our most special traditions. Our way of life is possible because of the generations of heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, the patriots who fought alongside them, and all who continue to serve in the line of duty.

Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day, established to honor the fallen soldiers of the Civil War, which saw more casualties than any other conflict in our country’s history. After World War I, it became a time to remember all the brave souls who have died fighting for our nation.

We honor these soldiers for their heroic acts in uniform and recall the lives they led out of uniform. Family members mourn the loss of a beloved child, a loving par-ent, or a committed spouse. These devoted loved ones have also

sacrificed and suffered on behalf of our country, and we are deeply grateful for their contributions to protecting our freedoms as well.

Many Americans commemorate Memorial Day by visiting the final resting place of the fallen. Nebraskans travel across the state to visit Fort McPherson National Cemetery in Maxwell, where the white headstones of the fallen lie peacefully representing men and women of valor who fought for their fellow Americans in wars throughout our nation’s history. Among them is Private First Class James W. Fous, an Omaha na-tive who died in battle and was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for his courageous acts of service during the Vietnam War.

Twenty-one years old, Private Fous was serving as a rifleman on a mission with his unit in the Kien Hoa Province of Vietnam in the spring of 1968. While Fous and three of his fellow soldiers were occupying their position for the night in a thickly vegetated area, Fous spotted three members of the enemy forces approaching him. He quickly notified his fellow men and directed fire at the en-emy. Fous successfully defeated two of the men, but the third hurled a hand grenade into Fous’ position before disappearing into

the dense brush that surrounded the area.

Showing ex-t r a o r d i n a r y courage, Fous yelled out to the nearby Ameri-can so ld ie rs to warn them before throw-ing h is own body upon the g renade . He sh ie lded h is f e l l o w m e n from the deadly blast, sacrific-ing his own life to save the lives of the three other men of his unit. The bravery Private Fous dem-onstrated at such a young age by knowingly putting himself in harm’s way to protect others is a humbling inspiration to all Ameri-cans. His actions exemplify those of a true hero.

As cities, towns, and com-munities across our state come together to commemorate this very meaningful holiday, may we all remember what the fallen have given up for the cause of freedom. Let us reflect on the values for which Private Fous and countless others fought and died as we renew our resolve to honor their legacy.

The ultimate sacrifice

The girls decided last month that they were going to throw a surprise birthday party for their d a d . H e was turn-ing 50 and they want-ed to make it special. His birth-day was on a F r i d a y b u t t h e y couldn’t be home until Saturday so it was set for Satur-day night.

They de-signed an invitation and emailed it to me asking me to proofread it, print a bunch, and mail them out. They gave me a few names and asked me to add to the list, which was to include family and a few friends from the area. The girls also wanted me to reserve the place we were having the party and arrange for the food. Then I had to figure out how to get Hubby there without telling him why.

And keep it a secret.It always amazes me when

my kids decide to do something and I end up doing all the work. It doesn’t surprise me – it just amazes me. And I usually just go along with it.

Things went fairly well. I fit my party duties in with the other things I was responsible for. I didn’t worry about how to get Hubby to the party yet because planning too far ahead is never a good idea. Besides, its spring and he had plenty of things on his mind so it was easy to take care of the other details first.

Four or five days before the party, I came up with an idea for getting him to it unaware. I told him there was a church dinner and I wanted him to come with me. He didn’t say anything against it so I thought it might just work.

When Saturday came, I had my schedule all worked out for getting everything ready (the “hostesses” couldn’t arrive until evening) without Hubby real-izing. He was in the field and I made sure none of the party stuff was in my car when it was time to help him move to a different field or take food and drinks out. Then, about two hours before the surprise, the thing I had been hoping against happened.

I got Hubby and Sonny moved to yet another field when Hubby said to me, “I ain’t going to that church dinner. I’ve got to be planting and tomorrow it’s sup-posed to rain.”

I told him he had to go and he was darned sure he didn’t. So I decided to let the cat out of the bag. I said, “You do have to be there because it’s really a surprise birthday party.”

“For who?!” he replied in a voice that seemed to say that it had better be someone pretty important.

“For you!” I answered back.He was quiet a moment and

then his voice got calmer when he said, “My birthday was yes-terday.”

I said, “Yeah, but your kids couldn’t be home yesterday.”

In a way, the surprise was almost better when he knew about it. He worried that the girls would have invited the whole county and it would be a big blowout that would make him uncomfortable. When we got to the church, he got worried because he didn’t recognize any of the cars. (It must have been the twilight that made the cars alien to him because he knew everybody there.) So when we got to the basement and every-body yelled surprise, he was actually still surprised.

Now that the party is over and we’re working our way through the leftovers (which are yummy, by the way) I only have one worry. I turn 50 next year and I don’t know how the kids will manage to throw a surprise party without being able to have me do all the work.

Surprise!

By Matt Mortenson

Some time ago I heard a record-ing of vocal a capella song, all women, and composed many years ago by a woman named Hildegard of Bingen. What first caught my attention was the quality of the women’s voices, whose clarity of tone and vocal range gave the mu-sic an exhilarating feeling at times. One of my favorite songs from that album is entitled “Ecclesia”, which roughly means “gathering” or “an assembly”.

The word “gathering” is used for the church throughout the New Testament, and it has its equivalent in the Old Testament as well. It’s a deliberate move: it shows the continuity between the promises of the Old Testament and the fulfillment of those promises in the New Testament, through Jesus Christ.

Here’s where all of this matters: Hildegard’s song about the gather-ing (church) is both beautiful and

sad. It talks about the beauty of the church that Christ died for and what it should be… but often is not. God’s love in Christ brought the gathering (church) together, and this is the pattern that we should be striving for in our gath-erings (churches).

It is no accident that the word ‘gathering’ is used to identify the church in Holy Scripture. This means things like: I cannot do ‘church’ on my own. It means that I am a part of the ‘church’. It means ‘me’ and ‘them’, not ‘me’ or ‘them’. In other words, the gathering (church) is known when

it comes together. This is a non-negotiable, indispensible identity of the gathering (church).

The ‘church’ gathers or assem-bles, which means that Christians associate with one another, and they are responsible to and for one another.

As Christians we come together, identifying and associating with one another. We gather in differ-ent places at different times, but what should be common is a mu-tual love and concern for one an-other and our community. Again, this gathering is brought about by God’s love, revealed once and for all in Christ, given witness to definitively by the prophets, apostles, and Holy Scripture. This ‘gathering’ is what makes beauti-ful music and a praiseworthy song for the head of the Church, who is Jesus Christ.

Yours in Christ,Pastor Matt Mortenson is pastor

of Faith Lutheran, Humboldt and Zion Lutheran, Pawnee City

4:00 – 6:00 PM; Thurs., May 29th, 2014Information Open House Public Meeting

The Meeting Place718 3rd St., Humboldt, NE

STP-4-7(107) TURKEY CREEK BRIDGE SOUTH OF STEINAUER; C.N. 13188STP-105-1(107) BIG NEMAHA RIVER BRIDGE IN HUMBOLDT; C.N. 13190

The Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) will hold a public information open house regarding two proposed bridge improvements in southeast Ne-braska. The meeting will be held at The Meeting Place, 718 3rd St., in Humboldt, on Thurs., May 29th, 4:00 – 6:00 P.M.

The first proposed project, identified as Turkey Creek Bridge South of Steinauer, on Nebraska Highway 4 (N-4) in Paw-nee County, 1.35 miles south of Stein-auer would redeck the bridge over Turkey Creek.

The other on Nebraska Highway 105 (N-105) in Richardson County, is identi-fied as Big Nemaha River Bridge in Hum-boldt. This proposed project would redeck the bridge over the Big Nemaha River, crossing over the southern corporate lim-its of Humboldt.

The planned constructions for both projects include deck replacement of the existing bridges, repairs on abutments, and adding approaches. Additional work on the Turkey Creek Bridge project in-cludes the removal of the old substructure along with debris that has collected in the channel.

The purpose of both projects is to preserve the N-4 & N-105 transportation asset, improve the reliability of the trans-portation system and perpetuate the mo-bility of the traveling public. The needs for these projects are based on the condi-tion of the bridges.

Additional property rights for the Big Nemaha River Bridge are anticipated. Mi-nor wetland impacts are anticipated and would be mitigated on site or at a local wetlands bank.

Construction could begin as early as spring of 2016 and be complete as early as fall of 2016.

Both projects would require temporarily detouring traffic. The Turkey Creek Bridge project would utilize Nebraska Highway 50 (N-50), Nebraska Highway 8 (N-8), and Nebraska Highway 99 (N-99).

The Big Nemaha River Bridge project would utilize Nebraska Highway 4 (N-4), United States Highway 75 (US-75), and Nebraska Highway 8 (N-8). Details of both detours will be available at the public meeting.

This public open house meeting is be-ing held to provide information regard-ing the project, currently in the design phase, and to receive the public’s input. All interested persons are invited to at-tend and present relevant comments and questions.

Shop Foreman Johnson reported that the claim to Dan Weddle in the amount of $4500 was for an Exmark mower. Johnson had previously spoken with Council member Dahlgren who had approved the purchase since he had the funds to spend in his department and it will be used in mowing around the sewer plant. At this time, 7:05 p.m., Council member Dahlgren joined the meeting al-ready in progress.

Tina Moore, Pawnee City Ball Asso-ciation, attended the meeting to request a donation to the Ball Association. She stated that last year the City paid for the electricity at the ball field and donated an additional $600. They are asking for the same this year. Tina reported that this year they have T-Ball, Coach Pitch, C Team Boys and Jr. Legion – there are no girl’s teams. No action taken at this time. Roll call vote indicated all present voting in favor of the motion to approve Ordinance #917, amending 6-101 Dogs; License changing the licensing fees on second reading.

Due to a clerical error with the voting, HJP Pest Control Mosquito Spraying was put back on the agenda for a revote. Council member Hatfield stated that since the last meeting, he had done more re-search and found that the mosquitoes can infect both humans (West Nile) and animals (heartworm). Council member Corbitt-Sears had researched the issue and read that effects from the spraying are less effective using the same chemi-cal time after time. Shop Foreman John-son stated that the City does take other steps in helping to minimize the mos-quito population by putting mosquito bri-quettes in standing water such as grader ditches. He added that property own-ers can help by doing the same on their own properties. Hatfield was wondering if Paul Heath, owner of HJP Pest Con-trol, would consider coming to the next meeting to address these concerns and answer some questions. Council was in agreement with Paul Heath coming to the next City Council meeting to discuss the spraying. No action taken at this time. Council member Hatfield reported that he plans to have Shop Foreman Johnson put the speed bumps down on 14th Street by North Park/Pool. Hatfield stated that he felt that parks are a good location to place the speed bumps. Council member Klein stated that speeds bumps were also needed on the south side of North Park by the basketball court, that traffic is de-touring on that street to avoid the speed bumps on 14th. She recommends placing them on the street running by the Pawnee Village office also. Hatfield recommend-ed that Council member Corbitt-Sears, Council member in charge of streets, and Shop Foreman Johnson get together and decide where the speed bumps should be placed. Council member Hatfield has been in contact with Shae Christensen and David Troyer Sr. regarding the nui-sance property at 923 8th Street. Chris-tensen and Troyer are currently working to get name on the deed changed over at the courthouse. Hatfield stated that he plans to be in touch with Christensen every other week to check up on his prog-ress as the deadline of June 9 is quickly approaching. Council member Klein in-formed Council that the City Office rest-room is still not working properly. Klein stated that Shop Foreman Johnson and crew cannot find where the sewer line runs out of the building. She wonders if building a new bathroom onto Clint’s of-fice would be possible. After much dis-cussion, Council decided to proceed with a new room being added inside the City crew office room and building the floor up so that they do not need to break through a 2” concrete shop floor with the plumb-ing. The sewer line can be connected onto the sewer line coming off the existing shop bathroom. Council member Dahl-gren and Shop Foreman Johnson are to get together on pricing the room out and bring it back to Council for approval. No action taken at this time. Shop Fore-man Johnson had been in contact with Chris Rauner, Manager-Pawnee County Road Department, looking into the pos-sible closing of the alley behind the old Elevator and County Shop. Johnson reported that Mr. Rauner does not want to lose the alley access and was not in favor of closing the alley. He also stated that the railroad owns the property on the north side of the alley where the tracks run. After Johnson spoke with Rasty Ste-phens about all of this, Rasty elected to drop his request for closing the alley. No action was taken. Roll call vote indicated all present voting in favor of the motion to approve a City-Wide Clean Up day scheduled for June 2, 2014, whereupon motion carried. Council reviewed the spreadsheet on February 2014 Sales Tax of $11,777.24 with $2,095.34 being Motor Vehicle Sales Tax. A letter from the Paw-nee County Arts Council requesting per-mission to block off one City Block for Ice Cream Social/Band Concert on June 29th was read. Council reviewed a notice from Kevin Branek, manager for the Pawnee County Rural Water District, regarding an increase in Pawnee County Rural Water fees. Due to the Memorial Day holiday falling on Monday, May 26, Council decid-ed to change the meeting date for the last
