Council meeting time to change?
McCOOK, Neb. -- The McCook City Council is eyeing a possible change to the 7:30 p.m. meeting time of regularly scheduled meetings.
City staff indicate they have been asked to review the current meeting time and whether an adjustment in times should be made. Agenda details for the item do not provide any clues as to what times are being considered in place of the 7:30 p.m. start time.
Councilors will discuss the item Monday evening during a regularly scheduled meeting at the Municipal Center.
Other items on Monday's regular and consent agenda;
* A resolution approving the agency agreement between the Nebraska Department of Aeronautics and McCook Ben Nelson Regional Airport pertaining to the construction of a new 8-plex hangar will be considered for approval. The new hangar would replace five deteriorating hangars with a new 6- or 8-plex hangar. The 6-plex option is being considered in the event bids for the 8-plex come in higher than anticipated, according to the meeting agenda.
The City of McCook will be responsible for 10 percent of the estimated $700,000 project. Insurance monies paid out to other airport facilities, stemming from a 2011 hail storm, are slated to be used to cover the city's portion of the hangar project.
* McCook Community College has requested permission to occupy city right-of-way for the development of off-street parking on the east side of East First Street, between East L Street and East M Street. The parking is intended to alleviate some of the parking congestion near the Brooks Hall dormitory.
* A resolution authorizing the annual waiver request from the McCook Housing Agency, waiving payment in lieu of taxes, will be considered for approval.
* Plans and specifications relating to 2015 armor coating maintenance of city streets will be considered for approval.
* Councilors will consider proclamations declaring April 6-10, 2015, as Public Transit Week; April 12-18, 2015, as National Public Safety Telecommunicator's Week; and the month of April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
