Consent Agenda: Nothing to Discuss

  1. of Lincoln ETA Discussion: Beth Dooley and Toni Haider from SEH Inc., an engineering firm and Brandon Schock, of Lincoln Commissioner were there to represent the City of Lincoln with a request for Extra Territorial Zoning. This meeting was an informational meeting to gather input from ACT on what would be needed from ACT to make this work for the of Lincoln. Chairman Nehring stated that ACT had recently gotten back from the City of Bismarck the 2 miles that was taken from ACT. One reason the residents were against ETA was ACT residents were not able to vote in Bismarck elections and if Lincoln would get ETA the residents would again lose their right to vote in city elections. The residents moved to ACT, so they could be free of some of the strict city regulations and enjoy the country lifestyle. Supervisor Selzler stated he and former Supervisor Zent spent a lot of time at the legislature working to get the Zoning back and he would not be in favor of giving up any of ACT Zoning. Chairman Nehring said another reason for ACT not being in favor of this it would cause significant loss of revenue which would mean a loss of services to our residents. A discussion followed, and the result of the discussion was Chairman Nehring asked the members of SEH Inc. and Brandon Schock, Commissioner of Lincoln go back to the drawing board and rethink their proposal and come back with other options.

Mr. Schock also wanted to talk about the road to Club Fido and snow removal on that street. Commissioner Schock stated the City of Lincoln was willing to do snow removal on Fido Drive from 22nd Ave SE at no expense to ACT.

The motion received a 2nd form Supervisor Selzler. The motion was unanimously approved.
