indicated with the building built 1981was provided for review (and is attached to the office copy of the minutes, and therefore available for public review). It was discussed.

Council member Neumann stated that most residents are already signed up for garbage pick up, and that some of those remaining might “not be able to afford the service.” She made a motion to remove considerations for mandatory trash pickup from the agenda. The motion was seconded by Mewes. The resulting vote of approval came in a vote of: Carmichael - yes; Mewes - Yes, Neumann - Yes; Reedy - No.

CITY BUILDINGS REPAIRS: CONTRACTOR PRESENTATIONS: Particulars were given for applications.
(TILLOTSON): 2 proposals --- (1) - Seal all 3 roofs - metal restoration, power wash, kill algae, secure metal, stripe roof, seams and fasteners first - vertical and horizontal, gray-blue acrylic - 2” spun flex, fully bonded- adheres; ridge caps - same but with 5” fabric, caulked then final coat -- with exception - (storage building) - spray foam first, remove loose materials/bond brick together with foam (12 Year warranty) (2) full spray foam to high R factor on full roof (higher cost). Neumann asked if cap could be red-coated to match brick, and it was identified as an option. (12 Year warranty on job) --- With each option, in the event of damage claims (as hail); after repairs by them, warranty would reset to a 12-year warranty. Would not do the picnic shelter or restrooms - since don’t do asphalt repair.
(SKYLINE): Duralast roof system fastened with screws/plates, then heat-bonded fabric. Tuck pointing and replacement of missing brick would be necessary to create a fully enveloped system, 88% reflective rate - so good result on heating/cooling cost. Vents (2) would be installed to address potential roof-moisture issues (15 Year full warranty). Would do picnic shelter and restrooms with asphalt.
Cost for systems was not discussed in detail since it is necessary for the City to receive information from insurance company (damage claim payment) before further analysis and any decision can be made.
MANDATORY TRASH PICKUP- REEDY/results of discussion with SHELBY TEMPS: A motion was made by Council member Mewes to remove considerations for mandatory trash pickup from the agenda. Motion died from lack of second. Council member Reedy made a motion to continue with the evaluation process.

Further aspects for continued review were noted (As: (Carothers) - Ordinance with specific factors to be drafted and put on ballot -- (Neumann) - Does it need to be put on ballot? (Carothers) - Council can decide. -- All members and Attorney Carothers expressed concern for how payments (if not full payment of bill) would be applied. Garbage first? Sewer second? Water last? With water to be shut off in non-payment situations.
ACQUISITION OF BROAD STREET PROPERTY: Attorney Carothers provided tax purchase certificates for City acquisition process of one property.
CLEAN UP which will include THOMAS FOUNDATION GRANT PREPARATIONS FOR DEMOLITION OF DILAPIDATED BUILDINGS, ONE PROPERTY AT A TIME INVOLVEMENT, as well as INOPERABLE/UNLICENSED VEHICLES Several properties for the Thomas Foundation grant application for demolition of dilapidated properties were discussed.. Further review will include on site inspection of properties (Carothers, Reedy, possibly Pike) set for next Wednesday - 5 PM.

PLANNING AND ZONING: No new applications.
CITY BUILDINGS REPAIRS: RFP RESPONSE/ BID OPENING: Two contractors were present, but bid comparison was not achieved due to what was described (by Skyline Construction representative and agreed upon by Tillotson Enterprises representative) as lack of unsuitable spec requirements, and the need to first address structural problems. that, if not corrected, would compromise the success of any new roofing application. Determination was made that the roof repair proposal specs were for a repair method neither sufficient nor recommended for the nature of repairs needed on City buildings. The insufficiency was noted by Skyline rep, (that nonetheless provided a proposal in compliance with bid specs), as well as by Tillotson rep (that instead gave a proposal for an adequate repair system). It was noted that Skyline would be interested in the asphalt repair needed on the restroom building and the park shelter, and that Tillotson does not do that type of work. Skyline rep further requested that the insurance company be notified of contractor participation, so that compliance standard could be assured and the process activated, which could well include “maximizing the claim.” Carothers will email both contractors the initial insurance report. The Skyline service availability was described as, “can do work even when it snows,” and the Tillotson product as, “weather dependent.” The available comparison of figures and methods was described by Attorney Carothers as “apples to oranges,” which necessitated re-address--to comply with “fair bidding practices”--- and scheduling was determined for both contractors to present proposals of their “needs assessment and product” at the next Regular meeting (October 17).
MANDATORY TRASH PICKUP- REEDY/results of discussion with SHELBY TEMPS: Council Member Mewes stated that two communities that have mandatory garbage have reported little improvement of clean-up issues as a result of the service. Reedy offered that questions (to Shelby Temps and Bank) have not yet been answered to make further determinations on the issue. Topic will continue on the agenda, and parties
will be contacted again.
CAR/TRACTOR SHOW REPORT: Documented cost to date -- $4,393.71 Small possibility remains for the receipt of other billing. Expenditures were determined to be within the $5,000 budget allowance, and the topic was removed from agenda.
ACQUISITION OF BROAD STREET PROPERTY: Attorney Carothers provided documentation requiring the signature of Mayor Meyer, and by that authority the process to secure purchase was activated.
CLEAN UP which will include THOMAS FOUNDATION GRANT PREPARATIONS FOR DEMOLITION OF DILAPIDATED BUILDINGS, ONE PROPERTY AT A TIME INVOLVEMENT, as well as INOPERABLE/UNLICENSED VEHICLES. A list of dilapidated structures (compiled by Rex Adams) was discussed, and determinations were made of those “best qualifying”, as based on need and financial capability of property owners-- for inclusion in a Thomas Foundation grant application. Council member Reedy identified those on the list that have already been asbestos-tested. Attorney Carothers will research (Court House records for tax and lien information) properties remaining on the list at the close of discussion. Process will continue to refine the potential list, thus to further the grant application process.
OTHER: Council member Mewes expressed concern about complaints regarding “the Council not getting anything done,” and he wondered why the paving project of the last CDBG project was not being recognized by certain disgruntled members of the community.

(10) - $247.32; Salaries - $1,915.08; Abbott Portable Toilets (Municipal Publicity) - $575.00; Beatrice Iron/Metal - $10.28; Black Hills Energy - $23.28; Circle D Mfg - $37.60; Farmers Cooperative - $28.78; Verona Neumann (Reimb: Municipal Publicity) - $111.57; NE Public Health Environmental Labs - $15.00; Pickrell Lumber - (Cabin) - $24.16; Milton Pike (Postage Reimb.) - $23.75; Postmaster - $166.00; Gene (Radar) Reedy - (Reimb: Municipal Publicity) - $100.00; Nebraska Dept. of Revenue (Waste Reduction - #94) - $25.00; Security First Bank - (Pike - IRA) - $55.00; Temps Disposal Service (Municipal Publicity) - $35.00; Uhl’s Sporting Goods - (Municipal Publicity) - $1,678.00; Windstream - $70.42; City of Wymore - $138.19; Wymore Lumber - $997.63; TOTAL CLAIMS: $6,277.06 & from Keno Proceeds Account to City of Blue Springs Regular Checking (to correct clerical error) $561.00.
PAVEMENT BREAKUP (WALNUT AREA/INTERSECTION) GILMORE ADVISEMENT, CONTRACTOR CONTACTS: Options for approx. 25’X100’ (Pike) concrete were discussed: the previously submitted $24,495 Caspers - Beatrice - (details attached to the office copy of minutes, and /Per Gilmore email - 9 inch thick, anticipated to hold up well to grain truck traffic) = Stephens & Smith Construction - Lincoln - $21,550.00 (does not included bonding, testing, joint sealing, backfilling and R.L. Tiemann Construction - Beatrice $11,740.77 (does not include bonding or testing) with email attached to office copy of minutes. Employee Pike noted that he had discussed the problem area with other local contractors (Sullivan, Gowen), and that a possibility existed for them to participate in the project, with the City first preparing the area. Comments: Council member Carmichael stated preference for the Tiemann estimate. Mayor Meyer described the area as one that “needs to be fixed every year.” Reedy questioned as to when Tiemann’s might be able to do the work. Mewes told that “we will set the start date.” Mayor Meyer brought up concern about the upcoming harvest and the impact of that traffic on an area paving project. Members agreed that it was not the best time to address the issue, and reached consensus to wait until after harvest, or maybe even until next Spring.
PLANNING AND ZONING: No new applications.
EQUIPMENT: REVIEW OF OPERATIONS/NEEDS/BACKHOE INFO: Council member Carmichael shared information about a possible backhoe available for purchase. Reedy asked if Pike had the opportunity to discuss another unit with Petersen. Pike told that contact had not yet been possible, but suggested that “winter” is a better time to consider backhoe purchase options, since a time of “better deals. ”
PARK PLANS: SIDEWALK - GILMORE ADVISEMENT, GRANTS AND PREPARATIONS: Employee Pike indicated that water line work was taking priority over other issues at this time, but told of plans to remove the tree and to have Trauernicht grind out the stump within the next few weeks. Sidewalk measurements (Reedy & Pike) has not yet been documented, and lateness of the season could postpone the sidewalk replacement/addition project until Spring.
CITY BUILDINGS REPAIRS: RFP RESPONSE/ BID PROCESS: Attorney Carothers gave the overview, which included advertisement dates (Arbor State, this Thursday, and next), and also October 3rd - 5PM bid submission timeline, and opening of bids at the October 3rd Regular meeting. Carothers further noted that RFPs were sent to 4 spray-on roofing contractors, and 18 to local contractors.
MANDATORY TRASH PICKUP- SURVEYCONSIDERATIONS: Council member Carmichael spoke of administrative difficulties which would be created by mandatory trash pickup to the community, and he suggested removal of considerations from the agenda. Mewes agreed. Council member Reedy asked if he might still contact Shelby Temps to get answers to questions prior to removal of considerations from the agenda, and no objections were made to that proposed action.
PROVISIONS FOR WARD CHANGE/MAPS AND MEASUREMENTS: Carothers clarified that a change to “at-large instead of wards” does NOT change classification of Second Class City to Village. He further stated that there are two ways to make the change: City can put it on the ballot or interested people can petition to have it put on the ballot. On the issue of considerations for boundary changes to existing wards, Carothers advised that the County Clerk is the one who would re-do it, as based on information provided, as: not only on percentage of registered voters/ but on those in each ward who are “eligible” to vote. He cited statute provisions, which included determination that wards should be “substantially equal” and also provided information in reference restrictions that may/may not be imposed based on the timeline of census activities. Members discussed options, and partially based on the fact that Ward 1 is documented to have 78 registered voters, and Ward II - 93 and the fact that, in that comparison - though that is not a record of “eligible” voters in each ward, they appear to be “substantially equal,” there does not seem justification for further review for change. Of course, interested community members could petition that project as well. But for the time being, members were in consensus to remove the topic from the agenda.
ABATEMENT OF STORAGE UNIT: LEGAL ACTION: Attorney Carothers advised that set of a court date is upcoming, and the topic will be returned to the agenda as per need.
CAR/TRACTOR SHOW REPORT: At the time of the meeting, and with radio advertising statement and perhaps other bills yet outstanding, the cost of the Car/Tractor Show Celebration stands at $2,881.71.
ACQUISITION OF BROAD STREET PROPERTIES: Attorney Carothers summarized information he previously provided by email (email attached to office copy of minutes), and which included 3-year right of redemption factors, tax deed issues, delinquent taxes, provisions available and prohibitive factors, and options were discussed. Decision was made for Carothers (on behalf of the City) to contact one property owner to discuss “dilapidated” condition of the structure and to purchase interest in the property, and also to buy up the 2014 and 2015 back taxes to set the City in the best position for acquisition. Acquiring the property was described as providing sufficient space to facilitate construction possibilities for the City. Obtaining the second location under consideration was described as more difficult, what with activity noted on the property and no outstanding back taxes. It was determined that the City should delay any action to attempt to acquire the property until a future date when it is anticipated it might become available.
CLEAN UP which will include THOMAS FOUNDATION GRANT PREPARATIONS FOR DEMOLITION OF DILAPIDATED BUILDINGS, ONE PROPERTY AT A TIME INVOLVEMENT, as well as INOPERABLE/UNLICENSED VEHICLES: No one from the One-Property-At-A-Time group was in attendance to submit an “anticipated” list of dilapidated properties, nor was a list by members yet compiled. Application process for a Thomas Foundation grant was not activated. On another issue, one property needing clean up was noted to be partially improved but was determined to receive a courtesy letter to hasten the project.

Call for comments and questions, summarization by Jennifer Busboom- (some/all) of the Budget Notes (herein included)
2017-2018 Budget Notes: The City appears to be continuing to produce revenues in excess of regular operating expenditures. The General All-Purpose Fund is producing roughly $37,000 per year (nearly the same as last year), and the Keno Fund is producing roughly $50,000 per year (nearly the same as the previous year). These funds produced are held in reserve available for capital outlays (paving, new equipment, water lines, etc.)... It is estimated that as of October 1, 2017, you will have cash reserves of about $295,000 General and $225,000 Keno. This compares to the prior year amounts of $540,000 General and $95,000 Keno. The decrease in funds is attributable to CDBG street projects completed during the year… For the year 2017-2018, proposed budget property tax has been left at the levy limit of 45 cents, which increases the tax request from $29,087 to $29,366. This increase (of approx. 96%) is due to higher total assessed valuation for the City from $6,463,841 to $6,525,958. In this increased valuation $34,361 (approx. 53%) of increase is attributable to new growth… Other operating revenues have been estimated conservatively at $120,000 based on the prior year amounts for the general funds. $600,000 has been included in other operating revenues based upon prior years’ estimated Keno game gross proceeds... $583,000 has been budgeted as potential capital outlay in the General All-Purpose Fund and no capital outlay has been budgeted in the Keno Fund beyond your normal operating expenditures. However, $317,000 has been budgeted to be transferred from the Keno Fund to the General All-Purpose Fund to assist in financing potential capital outlay projects. Normal operating expenditures have been budgeted liberally at $270,000 for the General All-Purpose Fund and $510,000 (includes game winner payoffs) for the Keno Fund at 85% payout... The budget process and document perform two legal functions: 1. Sets the property tax request-budgeted at $29,366. 2. Establishes an overall expenditure limit-budgeted at $1,785,000.... The budget must be adopted by September 20. The property tax requested in the budget will be final; however, the expenditure limit may be amended, if needed, throughout the year...The expenditure limit included in the proposed budget allows for expenditure of nearly all cash reserves which are expected to be available. Since some cash reserves will be necessary, we don’t expect, nor do we recommend, that the full amount budgeted of $1,785,000 be spent. GENERAL BUDGETING NOTES: The lid law is assigned to limit the growth of non-utility government revenues to inflationary increases. Exceptions are allowed for revenues required to pay off bonded debt, real estate improvement capital outlays, and interlocal agreements... Due to the Lid Law restrictions, it continues to be advantageous to pay real estate capital outlays, pay off of bonded debt, and participate in interlocal agreements from funds where property tax, sales tax, and state pass-through revenues are deposited (i.e. General and Street). This will help keep this law from limiting your non-utility source revenues...The lid law has become a significant factor for future budgets. Although you have adequate unused budget authority at this time, this is a factor that should be monitored.
Note that the motion, vote, and approval to accept a 1% allowable additional increase in the Restricted Funds Authority was made at the August 1, 2017 Regular meeting.
Since no changes were required to the Budget, Motion, second, vote to approve/accept the 2017-2018 Budget: (Reedy, Mewes, 4-0 affirmative = Carmichael - Yes, Mewes - Yes, Neumann - Yes; Reedy - Yes) . Motion and second (Carmichael, Reedy, vote 4-0 affirmative) to open a Special Budget Meeting within the Budget Meeting.
Resolution #2017-2 was read (Busboom)--- (WHEREAS, Nebraska Revised Statute 77-1601.02 provides that the property tax request for the prior year shall be the property tax request for the current year for purposes of the levy set by the County Board of Equalization unless the Governing Body of the City of Blue Springs passes by a majority vote a resolution or ordinance setting the tax request at a different amount and WHEREAS, a special public hearing was held as required by law to hear and consider comments concerning the property tax request, and WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City of Blue Springs that the property tax request for the current year be a different amount than the property tax request for the prior year. NOW, THEREFORE, the Governing Body of the City of Blue Springs by a majority vote, resolves that-- 1. The 2017-2018 property tax request be set at $29,366. 2. A copy of this resolution be certified and forwarded to the County Clerk prior to October 13, 2017.
Motion, second, vote (Mewes, Reedy, vote 4-0 affirmative) to adopt Resolution #2017-2 for a property tax amount different than that of the previous year, and the dollar amount ($29,366 ): (Vote: Carmichael - Yes; Mewes - Yes; Neumann - Yes ; Reedy -Yes )
Motion, second (Neumann, Mewes, vote 4-0 affirmative - to close The Budget Hearing and return proceedings to Regular session.
PAVEMENT BREAKUP (WALNUT AREA/INTERSECTION) - CASPER ADVISEMENT/QUOTE: The Caspers proposal, attached to office copy of minutes, and available for public review, was discussed, with Employee Pike providing additional information (drawing). The proposed price for concrete work south intersection of Walnut Street and Broad Street, $24,495.00, led to determination (Meyer, Mewes) for City Engineer (Gilmore & Associates - Keith Gilmore, John Berry) to be brought in to get involved in evaluations to support a future bid option process. City Employee Pike will contact Gilmore.
PLANNING AND ZONING: No new applications.
EQUIPMENT: REVIEW OF OPERATIONS/NEEDS: Employee Pike indicated that all equipment is in running condition. Briefly, a 175 New Holland backhoe (Chris Petersen) was discussed, and Mayor Meyer asked that Employee Pike make further inquiries about the product.
PARK PLANS: Several topics were discussed.
1. Noted (Meyer, Pike) that arrangements are in place for removal of the tree infringing not only on sidewalk, but curbing/street.
2. Sidewalk considerations included -- (Meyer ) - Straight sidewalk option (Broad Street side), then turning toward park shelter. (Carothers/Adams) - Possibility of improving access - butting sidewalk against asphalt parking, and necessity of contacting Keith Gilmore (Carothers/Reedy) for ADA requirements and review. Employee Pike will make contact with Gilmore (Berry).
3. Dean Cole indicated the need - “to bring it to a head, get a plan,” for a project “ongoing for a year and a half already.”
4. Cole gave suggestions/comments: “Good trees in the City park need trimming.” “Dead stuff needs to be addressed in the gully.” Decision needs to be made to take advantage of Game & Parks (grants), Re-Tree Nebraska (4’ trees provided - minimum of 5 per year), Water Resources (tennis court - prairie grass/wild flowers - with possibility of incorporating the help of school students (idea introduced by Adams) into the project to instill pride and increase concern.
5. Cole emphasized that members need to determine which park (City or Feit Memorial) will be addressed
under available programs. He indicated that “much used” Feit park has ash tree that “needs to go out” (over benches). Chinese elms need to be checked out/removed. He added that an identification/count/disease assessment process is advisable for ash trees in the community. Cole reported that the City park is well-treed, but with some trimming advised. He also suggested replacing the sand with rubber matting in the playground area. Members were in agreement that the City Park be the area of focus, and Dean Cole will address improvement possibilities through agency contacts and grant applications.
CITY BUILDINGS REPAIRS: RFP RESPONSE/OPENING OF BIDS: Attorney Carothers described difficulties prohibiting the intended timely bid process (including unavoidable difficulty regarding contacts, building specifics needed, clarification of needs). Clarification included: Building 1 (City Office), 2 (Storage), and now (storage building to east of City Hall) will be included in a base quote (metal coating), and Buildings 3 (restrooms) and 4 (park shelter), will be included in another base quote (asphalt replacement) -- enabling contractors to bid on either, or both projects. City employee Pike was asked (Carothers) to provide him with building dimensions (building East), and gutter/downspout replacement requirements and measurements. Carothers suggested advertisement in not only the Arbor State, but the Beatrice Daily Sun, and bid-opening the first meeting in October.
MANDATORY TRASH PICKUP- SURVEYCONSIDERATIONS: In order to provide information for a planned “community survey,“ Council member Reedy agreed to contact Shelby Temps on behalf of the Mayor and Council, referencing concerns as: What if customer has more than one residence? Business and residence? What might be the increase in billing cost for bank to collect along with water/sewer bills? (Need to ask local bank). What would be the senior citizen age (60, 62, 65) to take advantage of senior discount price, and the impact of that on Temps’ existing revenue base.
PROVISIONS FOR WARD CHANGE/MEASUREMENTS: To facilitate determinations, Attorney Carothers will provide members with map of current corporate limits, and verify present Ward designations. Some footwork by members may be required for a head count.
ABATEMENT OF STORAGE UNIT: LEGAL ACTION: Legal process continues.
CAR/TRACTOR SHOW REPORT: Some bills are still outstanding, so final figures are not yet available. Comments included:
(Neumann) --- 35 tractors were displayed, with new people from other areas attending, taking pictures (due to eclipse). She also extended gratitude for the assistance provided by Carol Carmichael, Connie Mewes, and Cecelia Seachord.
(Reedy) - less foot traffic than previous years.
(Connie Mewes) - recommended more trash cans in the future.
POTENTIAL CITY ACQUISITION OF BROAD STREET PROPERTIES: Members were in agreement for Attorney Carothers to act on behalf the City (though Carothers indicated “he would rather get information for you first”) to buy up the taxes on two properties providing there are no liens against them, in which case (if liens) Carothers indicated he would return to council for further advisement.
KENO FUNDS (Ruby Morris): Keno Operator Morris addressed members. When asked (by Reedy) what she would like to see done, she repeatedly acknowledged the One Property at a Time Group for work already accomplished, and for future plans. She strongly recommended that Mayor and Council make allowance for the use of Keno funds for community clean-up actions by the group, and cited Reg. 35-601/601.02E Community Betterment Purposes and the voluntary workforce visibility (of people from inside and outside town) and changes already made by the group, as justification for the request for Keno Funds. She stated that the original intent for Keno funds (paving) has “exceeded expectations.” Mayor Meyer told that “not all paving is complete.” Mayor Meyer asked, “What have we denied the group? They came to us requesting repair of City buildings, and we okayed it and paid the bill.” Disney/Adams suggested a $5,000 annual budget for community improvements. Shirley Martin introduced another consideration, said there are some “nasty sidewalks” that need to be replaced. Review will continue.
CLEAN UP which will include INOPERABLE/UNLICENSED VEHICLES: It was noted that two trash accumulation issues have been eliminated. Focus centered on dilapidated buildings. Carothers suggested applying for a Thomas Foundation grant for several (5-6) properties with absentee landowners/with insufficient assets for demolition procedures. He indicated that the City would need to allocate a certain/to be later designated amount of City funds to the project. Members were in agreement with the plan, and members of the One Property at a Time group were also in support of this action. Determinations were made for the One Property at a Time members to make a list, and the Council members to make a list of properties which could be identified/incorporated in the Thomas Foundation grant application process.
