Supervisors approve tax corrections

Holt County Supervisors tackled a light agenda when they met in regular session, Sept. 16.

Holt County treasurer Connie Krotter presented a list of personal property taxes and asked the governing board for approval to strike three parcels from the county’x tax rolls.

Parcels #0010003395, 0450000275 and 10000027, totaling $642.96, were removed due to no property to levy in Holt County, perusant to Nebraska state statute.

Steve Boshart made the motion, with a second by Don Hahlbeck. The motion carried unanimously.

Krotter also informed the board of delinquent and unsold parcels, per statute.

A surety bond, for deputy county treasurer, Catherine Fuhrer, was approved.

Chairman Bill Tielke informed supervisors of the outcome of a meeting with Transportation Partners and Logistics representatives, county and city officials and local citizens, concerning oversize truck traffic through O’Neill and the county.

Tielke reported concerns have been addressed and safety measures put in place to assist with traffic flow.

Following a lunch break, the meeting was reconvened at 1:14 p.m., for a public hearing on the proposed tax levy.

Supervisors approved a county tax rate of .318512, up from the previous fiscal year’s amount of .280719.

Road, culvert and bridge repair, from the 2019 flood, accounts for the increase.
