Regular City Council meetings are at 5:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of each month in city hall at 306 Pearl Street.

Living 15 Feet Apart

How many rules do we need in the city limits when our homes are fifteen feet apart?  Many rules in the City Code are set by the Nebraska Legislature.  Some are local rules but stil have to be authorized by state law.  Here are a couple:

No Political Signs on Public Right of Way
This is both a state law and city code.  All political signs along the streets have to be set on private property and not on the terrace between the sidewalk and the street.  Who enforces this?  If your political sign was on a city terrace or highway right of way, and it disappeared, we probably picked it up and you can get it back at the city street shop.

Mow Your Yard
Believe it or not, this is also both a state statute and city code.  If your grass or weeds are taller than 12", the owner of the property will probably get a notice from us to mow it by a certain date.  If the law is still not mowed by that date, we photograph the unmown lawn, hire a contractor to do it, haul the grass away and charge the property owner $90 per hour with a one hour minimum.
