   3   COMMISSIONERS MEETING REPORTS (Item 12)

       a.   Technology Committee - Steinman

Steinman reported that computer conduit will be provided in each
courtroom in the Hall of Justice and Law Enforcement Center.
Cabling will be provided in three courtrooms in the County Court,
two courtrooms in the Juvenile Court and each courtroom in the
District Court, at a cost of approximately $3,200 per courtroom.

Steinman noted that jury monitors and telephone line hookups for
private practice attorneys were also discussed.

       b.   Public Building Commission - Campbell, Hudkins

Campbell reported that a change order was approved for asbestos
removal in the Hall of Justice and Law Enforcement Center, due to
a discrepancy in the square footage and overhang listed in the
bid specifications.

Campbell noted that amendment of the smoking policy and security
issues in the County-City Building were also discussed.

       c.   Board of Health - Hudkins

Hudkins reported that two individuals remain as finalists for the
position of Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department Director
since Dr. Gregg Wright, Interim Director, withdrew his name from
consideration.  They are Leon Vinci of Middletown, Connecticut
and Charles Wolford of Bowling Green, Ohio.

Hudkins noted that the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper has
reported that Vinci violated Connecticut law by moonlighting from
his position of Middletown, Connecticut Health Director.  This
had resulted in temporary withholding of grant funds by the State
of Connecticut to that community.  Hudkins stated that Vinci had
not fully apprised the Board of Health of the extent of his
outside employment, nor had the Personnel Department uncovered
the information in its background investigation.

Hudkins reported that interviews with the two finalists will be
held on August 26th.

Hudkins also reported that Air Quality Regulations were approved
and a proposed City ordinance that will require individuals with
more than three dogs to register as a kennel was discussed.


       ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA

       c.   Microcomputer Request from County Attorney, C#98201, for
            Three (3) Computer Monitors, in the amount of $1,243.54

Gary Lacey, County Attorney, appeared and stated that an
inventory of his department's computer inventory has been
completed and a request to update at least 20 computer terminals
will be forthcoming.

MOTION: Hudkins moved and Campbell seconded to approve the request from
        the County Attorney's budget, with review of the budget at the
        Mid-Year Budget Review.  On call Hudkins, Campbell and Steinman
        voted aye.  Motion carried.

   4   HEALTH INSURANCE UPDATE - Bill Kostner, City Risk Manager;
       Ron Todd, Personnel Director

Bill Kostner, City Risk Manager, reported that the City Benefits
Committee reviewed Request for Proposals (RFP) results from Arthur
Anderson Consulting and recommended acceptance of a Point
of Service (POS) plan proposed by United Health Care.  Ameritas
Insurance will combine with United Health Care to offer dental
coverage to City employees.  He noted that a response from City
unions on the proposed plan is expected by August 24th.

Kostner stated that if the City approves the plan, the County
Board may wish to consider piggy-backing on the contract to offer
insurance coverage for County employees.  He noted that Scott
Blackard, Arthur Anderson Consulting, is working with United
Health Care to prepare pricing figures for a County plan, and
will be reporting to the Board in the near future.

In response to a question from Hudkins, Kostner stated that the
plan includes a nationwide prescription program with co-pay
amounts of $5 for generic prescriptions and $10 for brand names.
Pharmacy participation will include nearly all of the pharmacies
in Lincoln.

Eagan indicated that time constraints limit the County's ability
to bid their health insurance plan and that although it has been
the Board's preference to bid the plan in the past, it is not
legally required to do so.

Eagan also reported that the Segal Company of Englewood,
Colorado, has offered their specialized services as public
benefits consultants to the County.  He noted that service would
include assessment of pooling arrangements for the joint purchase
of health, disability and life insurance.

In response to a question from Steinman, Eagan stated that
pooling of resources and joint purchase of public benefits are
not prohibited by State law.

Ron Todd, Personnel Director, suggested that this may be an
opportune time for the County Board to bid the insurance
brokerage services currently provided by Arthur Anderson
Consulting.

Eagan noted that Lincoln Public Schools (LPS) has indicated
interest in pooling resources for disability insurance coverage,
although it may be too late to do so this year.

       ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA

       a.   Beltway Citizens Advisory Committee

Steinman reported that an update on the archeological and
historical surveys of the South and East beltway corridors was
received.  She noted that few historically or archeologically
significant sites were located in the South corridor, due to the
limited number of stream crossings in that area.  She stated that
the archeological survey has not yet been completed in the East
corridor region, although an abundance of sites have been located
along Stevens Creek.

Steinman also reported that plans for the South Beltway Road are
proceeding as federal funds become available.  She noted that
twenty homes would be impacted by construction, with removal of
five or six anticipated.

       b.   Special Designated Permit from Firethorn Investment to hold a
            50th Birthday Party Celebration at 114300 Pine Lake Road on
            August 15 from 5 to 10 p.m.

Eagan stated that a special designated permit is required because
Firethorn Investment does not hold an off-site catering permit.

MOTION: Campbell moved and Hudkins seconded approval of the Special
        Designated Permit and requested that an entry of the Board's action
        be entered into the minutes of the Tuesday August 18th County
        Board of  Commissioners meeting and announced at that meeting, with
        notification to the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department and
        the County Engineer.  On call Campbell, Hudkins and Steinman
        voted aye.  Motion carried.

   5   LINCOLN ACTION PROGRAM RURAL SERVICES CONTRACT
       Beatty Brasch, Lincoln Action Program Director;
       Judy Adams, Lincoln Action Program Rural Coordinator

Judy Adams, Lincoln Action Program Rural Coordinator, briefly
reviewed the following:

    Lancaster County Rural Resources Directory
    About Lincoln Action Program - Mission, Philosophy, Locations,
     Services and Staff
    Clerks and Board Members for Lancaster County Communities
    Rural Development Activity and Budget Grant Amount for 1998-1999
    Grant Contract between the County of Lancaster and Lincoln
     Action Program for the Period Covering Sept 1, 1997 - Aug 31, 1998
    Rural Outreach Services - June 1997 to May 1998
    Lancaster County Family Preservation/Treatment Team
    Crisis Home Repairs for Lancaster County Home Owners

Adams reported that only $20,000 remains to fund the Crisis Home
Repairs program.  She stated that most of the program's
beneficiaries were elderly individuals that did not have
sufficient resources to repay loans offered by other programs.

In response to a question from Steinman, Adams stated that other
Community Development Block Grants are available, but must be
applied for directly by individual cities or towns.

Campbell suggested that Lincoln Action Program contact Joan
Modrell, Urban Development Director, for suggestions and contacts
with regards to community development grants.

Board consensus to schedule a luncheon meeting with the Village
Clerks and the Chairs of the Village Boards on Thursday,
September 17th to discuss issues of mutual interest,
including the need for a uniform addressing system within the
County.  Don Thomas, County Engineer, and a representative of the
U.S. Postal Service were also invited to attend.

Adams agreed to notify the Village Clerks and Boards of the meeting.

The Board requested the County Clerk's Office to take minutes at
the meeting.

Beatty Brasch, Lincoln Action Program Director, noted that her
agency had requested a three percent budget increase this year.
She stated that Lincoln Action Program will lose approximately
five to six thousand dollars in funding this year and must seek
other funding sources to offset that loss.

       ACTION ITEMS

       b.   Request from Lincoln Action Program to Paint & Use
            Conference Room in Basement of Trabert Hall

Brasch reported that Lincoln Action Program (LAP) has submitted a
request to Don Killeen, County Property Manager, to be allowed
use of the empty conference room in the basement of Trabert Hall.
She stated that LAP would like to expand that request to include
the fourth floor conference room.  In return, LAP is willing to
paint the rooms and assume responsibility for scheduling by other
agencies.  She assured the Board that LAP is willing to vacate
the rooms if another use arises.

The Board agreed to discuss LAP's requests with Killeen later in
the meeting.

Brasch also reported briefly on construction of a 30,000 square
foot facility on West "O" Street for location of LAP programs,
noting that a "blighted" designation was necessary for the bond
issuance.

   6   WILDERNESS PARK SUBAREA STUDY, PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT & PLAN DEVELOPMENT
       Kent Morgan, Planning Department Assistant Director;
       Betsy Kosier, Lincoln Lancaster Mediation Center

Kent Morgan, Planning Department Assistant Director, distributed
copies of the Wilderness Park Subarea Study: Process Overview,
and briefly reviewed the working time line for completion of the study.

Morgan also reviewed a handout of information regarding the
Wilderness Park Subarea Study that is currently available on the
City of Lincoln's Internet website.

Morgan distributed copies of Wilderness Park Subarea Study -
Issue Identification Process Participants, a list of agencies,
groups and individuals from the public and private sectors with
an identified interest or desire to participate in the study process.
Primary stakeholders were identified as those parties with the
ability to block or insure the process and outcome.  He explained
that the intent is not to carry each party through the process, but
rather to narrow the issues and participation.

Betsy Kosier, Lincoln Lancaster Mediation Center, noted that the
community participation process will be more expansive and
structured than projects may have been approached in the past to
insure that the large number of diverse parties with an interest
in Wilderness Park receive a voice in the process.

Kosier stated that Mediation Center volunteers will be contacting
each of the parties on the list to explain the process, seek
involvement and identify the concerns and perspectives they would
like to see represented in the process.  A Working Group, self-
determined by the interview process, will then meet for joint
problem solving, based on mutual education and technical,
financial, political and values based criteria, beginning
November, 1998.  Kosier noted that it will be the responsibility
of the Mediation Center to see that the Working Group is provided
with a process and structure and remains task oriented.

In response to a question from Steinman, Kosier stated that town
hall meetings are not envisioned at this time.  She noted,
however, that the regular meetings of the Working Group will be
open to the public, with reports available on the Internet website.

Morgan noted that cost was also a prohibitive factor in the
decision not to hold town hall meetings.

Morgan asked how the Board would like to be involved in the issue
identification process.

Board consensus to schedule a collective interview with Board
members from 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. during the Thursday, September
24th County Board of Commissioners meeting.  Board
members may also direct individual comments and concerns
regarding Wilderness Park issues to the Mediation Center.

   7   EXECUTION OF NATURAL GAS PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CONSORTIUM &
       UTILICORP UNITED INC. DBA: PEOPLES NATURAL GAS SERVICES
       Diane Staab, Deputy County Attorney;
       Don Killeen, County Property Manager

Diane Staab, Deputy County Attorney, reported that the second set
of bids for the aggregated purchase of natural gas by the
Consortium, which is comprised of the City of Lincoln, Lancaster
County, Public Building Commission, Lincoln Public Schools,
District Energy Corporation and the University of Nebraska, have
been received.  A low bid of 5.01 per cubic foot was submitted by
Peoples Natural Gas Services, which is less than last year's
purchase price of 5.12 per cubic foot.  Staab stated that
Consortium representatives felt this was a competitive price and
recommended approval.

Staab noted that the University of Nebraska is only a participant
for their smaller volume needs this year, which may have had an
impact on the bid prices.

Don Killeen, County Property Manager, recommended proceeding with
the purchase this year, but re-evaluating participation in the
Consortium next year.

Staab noted that the purchase agreement will need to be executed
quickly to lock in the bid price.

MOTION: Campbell moved and Hudkins seconded to authorize Linda Steinman,
        Chair, to sign the natural gas purchase agreement.

Hudkins noted concern that the bids were too high and that last
year's participation in the Consortium had not proved beneficial
to the citizens of Lancaster County.

ON CALL: Campbell, Hudkins and Steinman voted aye.  Motion carried.

Steinman informed Don Killeen, County Property Manager, that
Lincoln Action Program (LAP) would like use of both the basement
and fourth floor conference rooms in Trabert Hall.  In return,
LAP has agreed to paint both rooms and handle scheduling by other
agencies.

Killeen stated that he was not opposed to the request since
neither room is currently in use.

MOTION: Campbell moved and Hudkins seconded to grant the request from the
        Lincoln Action Program and allow them to utilize the basement and
        fourth floor conference rooms in Trabert Hall, with the
        following stipulations:

        a.  Lincoln Action Program must paint both rooms
        b.  Lincoln Action Program must send a memorandum to

            Lincoln Action Program will be handling scheduling
            of the rooms, with a copy of the memorandum to Don
            Killeen, Property Manager, and the County Board
        c.  The arrangement with Lincoln Action Program may be

       d.   Planning Commissioner Appointment

Steinman noted concern that appointment of an individual with a
property interest in the proposed South or East Beltway corridors
may limit the County Board's input on Planning Commission decisions.

The Board requested Hudkins to contact Burdette Piening, Gary
Krieser, and Wayne Nielsen to gauge their interest in serving on
the Planning Commission and report back to the Board at the
Thursday, August 20th County Board of Commissioners meeting.

The Board also requested further information on the location of
Krieser's property within the county.

       e.   Salaries for Unrepresented, Unclassified Employees, Sheriff
            Captains, Bailiffs, Attorneys and Directors

The Board requested that the County Attorney and Public Defender
be scheduled to appear at the Thursday, August 20th County Board
of Commissioners meeting to discuss salary recommendations for
attorneys in their offices and that date of hire information for
attorneys in the County Attorney's office be provided to the Board.

The Board also requested that a general policy discussion with
Beth Tallon, Clerk of the District Court, and representatives of
the Personnel Department on whether to extend benefits to bailiffs
to be scheduled for the Thursday, August 27th County Board
of Commissioners meeting.

Steinman suggested that consideration also be given to increasing the
duties of one of the bailiffs to serve in a Court Administrator capacity.

The Board requested the Personnel Department to conduct a comparability
study with regards to salaries for Directors and to provide that
information to the Board.
