3) ITEMS OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
Region V Annual Report - Jill Rubottom
Jill Rubottom, Region V, appeared and distributed information regarding
the Region V Mental Health, Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Program (Exhibit
A). A brief overview of the following was given:
a. Mental Health Data
b. Substance Abuse Data
c. Fiscal Year 1997-1998 Budget Information
d. Behavioral Health Redesign
(Hudkins entered the hearing room.)
Also entered into the record was a printout of complete data regarding
mental health and substance abuse admissions for Lancaster County from
July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997 (Exhibit B).
Rubottom said Region V was requesting $222,753 for substance abuse and
$412,817 for mental health for the fiscal year.
In response to a question asked by Campbell regarding persons placed in
emergency protective custody, Rubottom said any individual placed in
emergency protective custody that was intoxicated was taken to
Cornhusker Place first. A transfer would take place within a 24-hour
period to the Crisis Center. She stated as long as the individual is
on the emergency protective hold rather than the civil protective hold
they would have stayed long enough to get transferred to the Crisis
Center.
Campbell stated the 518 individuals for Fiscal Year 1996 would include
people who have an alcohol problem.
Rubottom said 20 to 25 percent of the 518 individuals are substance
abuse only, with approximately 50 percent having a dual diagnosis.
Svoboda inquired about the increase in individuals who have an income of
less than $15,000.
Rubottom explained the increase may be that there are more individuals
in more severe conditions than in the past.
4) PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. A street vacation, requested by Joseph Berchenko, to vacate the
east 25 feet of Southwest 16th Street from West Burnham Street
1,309.51 feet south to the south section line. (M-6545)
The Chair opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to
testify in favor of the vacation.
Joe Berchenko appeared and explained the vacation was part of a sub-
division process on a 23-acre parcel which they are subdividing into
three-acre parcels for homes. He indicated the street has not been used
in quite some time.
Phyllis Freeland appeared and explained she is the only individual
living along the street vacation and is interested in obtaining the 25
feet which is concurrent with her property.
Berchenko said he didn't feel that would be a problem.
Mike DeKalb, Planning Department, appeared and stated he had talked with
Ken Sherwood, County Engineering Department, to ensure that there is a
procedure for obtaining the 25 feet of property. He noted that there
is a procedure and Ms. Freeland will have the opportunity to obtain the
property.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to testify in opposition or in a
neutral position.
No one appeared and the Chair closed the public hearing.
Action will be taken on Tuesday, October 28, 1997.
B. Preliminary Plat 97007 and Change of Zone 172 for Blue Spruce
Estates, requested by J. Michael Rierden on behalf of Patter
Trust, for six single family lots and one outlot and a zoning
change from AG Agricultural to AGR Agricultural Residential on
property located southeast of North 148th Street and Holdrege
Street in Lancaster County, Nebraska. (97-138) (97-137) (R-5579)
The Chair opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to
testify in favor of the proposal.
Michael Rierden, attorney representing Patter Trust and the developers,
appeared and explained they agree with the staff recommendations and
conditions. They are also in agreement to comply with any applicable
rules and regulations in the County Land Subdivision Regulations.
Rierden distributed a handout regarding the Change of Zone and
Preliminary Plat (Exhibit C) and gave a brief overview regarding changes
the developers have completed to address concerns regarding the issue.
Those changes are as follows:
1. Removal of a road from the flood plain
2. Removal of one lot from the development plan
3. Water supply to come from the Cass County Rural Water System
4. Preservation of linear wetlands by the developer and property owners
5. Construction of homes within the flood plain will meet all required
permitting, etc.
Campbell asked for a description of a "mound system" which the
developers will use for sewage disposal and the history of the system
in terms of failure.
J.D. Burt, Design Associates, appeared and explained they are using the
University of Minnesota's design standards for the mound system. He
said the system is an above grade septic system where a berm is built,
similar to a berm landscape. Burt added that the Health Department is
developing their own set of guidelines.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to testify in opposition.
Roger Harre, 14901 Plum Ridge, appeared and expressed his concern
regarding the covenants. He stated he would like to see some type of
disclosure given to perspective property owners regarding the covenants
since there will be two sets of them and to ensure that those covenants
will coincide with the ones for Plum Ridge.
Steinman stated the Board has been advised that they have no control
over the issue of covenants.
Harre said they shouldn't have any problem if the covenants for Blue
Spruce Estates are the same as those for Plum Ridge.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to testify in a neutral position.
Mike DeKalb, Planning Department, suggested that during the final plat
there be a standard agreement with the subdivider indicating they will
divulge certain information to the purchaser(s). He said standard
language included is the soil information and the water quality reports.
Information included in the agreement are conditions of the subdivision
resolution, however, a notation that there are other covenants which
apply is not a condition of the County's regulations. DeKalb said the
Board could probably include that there are other covenants, but it would
make the County a party to it.
Rierden appeared again and stated that the Jones' would probably have
more restrictive covenants than the Plum Ridge covenants. He gave
assurances that covenants will be filed and will be close to being
identical to the Plum Ridge covenants.
He also said the Jones' would also provide full disclosure.
Campbell asked if the covenants would be written at the time of the
final plat.
Rierden said at that time they wouldn't be required to have covenants
prepared, however, they will be prepared because Mr. and Mrs. Jones want
the covenants filed before they sell one lot.
Campbell suggested presenting the final covenants at the time of the
final plat.
Rierden stated they could agree to Commissioner Campbell's suggestion.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
MOTION: Campbell moved and Tussing seconded approval of Change of Zone
172, from AG Agricultural to AGR Agricultural Residential,
requested by J. Michael Rierden, on property located southeast
of North 148th Street and Holdrege Street. On call Tussing,
Campbell, Hudkins, Steinman and Svoboda voted aye. Motion carried.
MOTION: Campbell moved and Hudkins seconded approval of Preliminary Plat
97007, Blue Spruce Estates, requested by J. Michael Rierden on
behalf of the Patter Trust, for six single family lots and one
outlot, on property located southeast of North 148th Street and
Holdrege Street. On call Svoboda, Tussing, Campbell, Hudkins
and Steinman voted aye. Motion carried.
5) OLD BUSINESS:
A. County Change of Zone, requested by LeRoy F. Busboom, from AG
Agriculture to AGR Agricultural Residential, on property located
at the northeast corner of Southwest 112th Street and West
Pioneers Boulevard in Lancaster County, Nebraska (Change of Zone
139). (97-139) (R-5580)
The Chair indicated the Board had received a phone call and a letter on
the zoning change.
Tussing indicated she had spoke to Jacqueline Harrel.
The Chair said the letter of opposition was from Barbara and Myron Smith
(Exhibit D).
Michael Rierden, attorney representing LeRoy F. Busboom, appeared and
requested that the zoning change be deferred for two weeks.
The Clerk said it would be placed back on the agenda for November 4, 1997.
B. Appointment of Barry Martin to the Government Access Information
Committee, term to expire on January 1, 1998. (97-89)
MOTION: Campbell moved and Tussing seconded approval. On call Hudkins,

carried.
C. A ballot for accepting or rejecting the first amended plan of
reorganization filed by Weaver's Potato Chip Company, Inc.
(97-95)
Doug Cyr, Deputy County Attorney, explained there is motion pending
before the Bankruptcy Court which was filed by the debtor together with
the Unsecured Creditors Committee to delay the hearing for voting on the
confirmation of the plan. He said the motion has not been ruled on by
the Bankruptcy Court, but because the debtor is joining in the motion
with the unsecured creditors it is likely that the motion will be
sustained and there will be a later time when ballots will be submitted
on the plan of reorganization. Cyr said he had also requested copies of
the modifications to the disclosure statement and the plan of
reorganization, however, he had not yet received them.
Steinman said she felt it would be in the Board's best interest to wait
until all information is available. The ballot for accepting or
rejecting the first amended plan of reorganization filed by Weaver's
Potato Chip Company, Inc. was withdrawn from the agenda.

Program's Rural Housing Rehabilitation Program for Rebecca and

Hudkins inquired why the high bid with Green's Furnace and Plumbing was

to the Lincoln Action Program.

Program to follow-up with the Board.
Steinman stated she would call Lincoln Action Program.

Memorial Hospital Project), by the Hospital Authority, to be
used for financing a portion of the acquisition and acquisition
expenses by Bryan Memorial Hospital of certain assets of Lincoln
General Hospital, to pay for routine capital expenditures of
Lincoln General Hospital, to pay the premium on the bond
insurance policy and to pay certain costs incurred in connection
the issuance of the bonds, in an amount not to exceed $40,000,000.
(97-99) (R-5581)
Lauren Wismer, Cline Williams Law Firm and bond counsel, appeared and
explained a public hearing was held on Thursday, October 16, 1997 at a
meeting of the Hospital Authority. Present at the public hearing were
Roger Jorgensen, Bryan Memorial Hospital, and Jim Fox, Ameritas
Investment Corporation.
Wismer stated he had previously forwarded copies of the resolution to
the County Board, however, the copies which will be submitted for the
Board's signature have one alteration. He indicated the amount had
been changed from $40,000,000 to $35,000,000 because that was the amount
specified in the notice which was published in the paper, as well as the
amount that was considered by the Hospital Authority.
In response to a question from Campbell, Wismer said part of the costs
are not financable under the Internal Revenue Code or under the Hospital
Authority's Act. The proceeds will provide a portion of the funds
necessary to acquire the assets and the balance of those funds will come
from reserves of Bryan Memorial Hospital. Approximately $5,000,000 has
been set aside for the acquisition of capital equipment at the Lincoln
General Hospital site. Wismer explained that the bonds will be insured
through a premium bond insurance policy and a portion of the proceeds
will be used to pay that cost.
Steinman asked if it includes the liabilities of Lincoln General Hospital.
Wismer said certain current liabilities are included, however, the bonds
of Lincoln General are not. He explained that the City anticipates
defeasing a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the bonds.
