so we're starting to think about second 76 00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:38,940 quarter but uh-oh we're all kind of on 77 00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:40,560 this first sheet that's up there it's I 78 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,360 mean the story to tell it's been a slow 79 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,460 down we had no single-family housing uh 80 00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:46,320 we had no multi-family housing permits 81 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,390 issued and a pretty good decline as far 82 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:50,490 as single housing permits but we think a 83 00:05:50,490 --> 00:05:51,630 lot of that it's mostly just to the 84 00:05:51,630 --> 00:05:53,640 weather nothing really to be too 85 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,950 concerned to at this point but overall 86 00:05:55,950 --> 00:05:57,330 it's been a slower first quarter than 87 00:05:57,330 --> 00:05:59,040 we've seen previously but we did have 88 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,780 some pretty nasty weather to contend 89 00:06:00,780 --> 00:06:03,270 with so they'll jump over this other 90 00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:04,920 sheet just kind of talking about some of 91 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,360 the projects we've seen over the first 92 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,490 quarter across the county we end up 93 00:06:08,490 --> 00:06:10,620 responding to 11 total projects we did 94 00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:12,690 have two landed projects so that was 95 00:06:12,690 --> 00:06:16,500 going to be up in the city of Papillion 96 00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:18,480 with the project wizard je Dunn is the 97 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,920 general contractor out there and they 98 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,930 are we're looking for some space to put 99 00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:23,600 eventually what's going to be all their 100 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,400 office space for that project and we 101 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,780 help them find a space in a warehouse up 102 00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:29,460 there that they're gonna end up doing 103 00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:30,870 some 10 improvements to and that's gonna 104 00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:33,360 be worth about 1 million dollars that's 105 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,390 a ton hundred 54th in gold coast road 106 00:06:35,390 --> 00:06:37,350 additional additionally to that is the 107 00:06:37,350 --> 00:06:39,570 Black Hills Energy Office so this was a 108 00:06:39,570 --> 00:06:40,890 project that's been open since about 109 00:06:40,890 --> 00:06:44,390 2015 so Thrasher had some extra land up 110 00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:47,220 out there and in the western Sarpy 111 00:06:47,220 -->

00:06:54,669 jobs in 6.4 capital investment we did 115 00:06:54,669 --> 00:06:56,639 have two local projects that we started 116 00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:58,750 so one of them is a local cybersecurity 117 00:06:58,750 --> 00:07:01,270 employer so this is actually a employer 118 00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:03,040 out of Springfield Nebraska they're just 119 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,270 getting started

--> 00:07:31,570 Bellevue sites for that and also 137 00:07:31,570 --> 00:07:33,220 manufacturing you've seen a lot of 138 00:07:33,220 --> 00:07:34,510 different types of food processing 139 00:07:34,510 --> 00:07:36,790 everything from baking to smoking meats 140 00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:38,530 to kind of taking big pieces of meat 141 00:07:38,530 --> 00:07:40,889 make them two smaller

00:24:05,210 --> 00:24:08,030 my real estate broker lender biggest 455 00:24:08,030 --> 00:24:09,710 thing I'm gonna see people are not gonna 456 00:24:09,710 --> 00:24:11,540 want to live in the area prices are 457 00:24:11,540 --> 00:24:15,260 gonna go different ways definitely 458 00:24:15,260 --> 00:24:17,900 taxes are hired many people who already 459 00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:21,590 have a long going are afraid that the 460 00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:23,930 other riders are gonna say no you're not 461 00:24:23,930 --> 00:24:26,030 gonna qualify because your income is not 462 00:24:26,030 --> 00:24:27,290 enough now that your tax is gonna go 463 00:24:27,290 --> 00:24:27,590 higher 464 00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:30,140 since this pass is that long they get 465 00:24:30,140 --> 00:24:32,720 denied just because of the babies so all 466 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,220 the people who wants to buy properties 467 00:24:34,220 --> 00:24:37,100 within the neighborhood are gonna see 468 00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:39,430 that this is going on they may go away 469 00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:42,680 okay so that's gonna change there are 470 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,930 definitely different reasons why people 471 00:24:44,930 --> 00:24:47,510 will not want to live in the area maybe 472 00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:50,510 why others would like to live but I 473 00:24:50,510 --> 00:24:52,910 think the impact is gonna be huge 474 00:24:52,910 --> 00:24:57,440 it's gonna change things around most of 475 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,530 our neighbors who live in era 5 we like 476 00:25:00,530 --> 00:25:03,680 to have the wide open space like to our 477 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,410 kids like the wander around we have 478 00:25:06,410 --> 00:25:09,230 animals and so we like it the way it is 479 00:25:09,230 --> 00:25:14,630 I guess some of them horses possibly 480 00:25:14,630 --> 00:25:15,560 your aren't here yet 481 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,510 but hopefully we can reopen when they 482 00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:19,580 get here but you will hear the same 483 00:25:19,580 --> 00:25:22,300 thing I don't we don't see the benefit 484 00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:26,660 trash it's not gonna do any better for 485 00:25:26,660 --> 00:25:29,780 us at this point I will think but the 486 00:25:29,780 --> 00:25:31,760 biggest disadvantage will be the 487 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,430 property value will probably diminish at 488 00:25:34,430 --> 00:25:37,400 that point it's going higher now but 489 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,200 it's going to diminish and it's going to 490 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,010 cause a big impact on our economy I 491 00:25:43,010 --> 00:25:45,710 think but the benefit is what I don't 492 00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:49,550 understand so I'm totally against it 493 00:25:49,550 --> 00:25:51,920 that's probably all I have to say thank 494 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,960 you thank you 495 00:25:57,970 --> 00:26:00,500 just for the record we're still speaking 496 00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:03,920 on number area number five so the public 497 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,780 hearing is still open on area number 498 00:26:05,780 --> 00:26:09,320 five if anyone else is here to speak on 499 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:19,460 number five please come forward seeing 500 00:26:19,460 --> 00:26:21,110 no one I will close the public hearing 501 00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:23,420 on area number five and I'm gonna 502 00:26:23,420 --> 00:26:26,600 attempt anybody else wants to jump in as 503 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,290 far as council members maybe if I try to 504 00:26:30,290 --> 00:26:32,540 answer a couple of these questions they 505 00:26:32,540 --> 00:26:34,460 won't be repeated cuz I'm here the first 506 00:26:34,460 --> 00:26:35,960 two I've heard the same question and 507 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,510 that is what if what are the benefits I 508 00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:40,340 guess the first question was that I 509 00:26:40,340 --> 00:26:43,790 heard they only want to pay as much 510 00:26:43,790 --> 00:26:47,990 taxes as everybody else well that's what we're getting at because the 511 00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:49,910 residents of Bellevue are paying more 512 00:26:49,910 --> 00:26:53,750 taxes than those properties that are 513 00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:55,640 surrounding you so we're trying to 514 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,860 equalize that make that fair for 515 00:26:57,860 --> 00:27:03,230 everybody across the board and everybody joins in and pays their share 516 00:27:03,230 --> 00:27:05,000 of the taxes so it's the benefits you're 517 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,460 getting now when you drive off your 518 00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:10,670 property drive down Chandler or 519 00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:12,980 Cornhusker to get to the interstate 520 00:27:12,980 --> 00:27:14,720 those are certain those are areas that 521 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,760 the city's taking care so you are 522 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,520 getting benefits already sure you get a 523 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,390 library card the trash service is 524 00:27:23,390 --> 00:27:26,520 questionable I understand that 525 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,960 but there are benefits but there's also 526 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,980 there's there's more of an equalization 527 00:27:31,980 --> 00:27:35,370 to to make that foundation for Bellevue 528 00:27:35,370 --> 00:27:38,480 stronger and everybody everybody puts in 529 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:45,240 what they owe so anybody else want an 530 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,180 addition if there is a concern with your 531 00:27:48,180 --> 00:27:51,390 taxes and your assessments you got to go 532 00:27:51,390 --> 00:27:53,310 talk to the Sarpy County Assessor and 533 00:27:53,310 --> 00:27:55,680 fight that evaluation that has nothing 534 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,180 to do with the city when you have a 535 00:28:00,180 --> 00:28:02,850 twenty six thousand dollar increase go 536 00:28:02,850 --> 00:28:05,280 to Sarpy County and talk to them about 537 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,280 it and get it revaluated so that they 538 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,350 can reevaluate your taxes and make it 539 00:28:10,350 --> 00:28:12,920 fair across the board 540 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,570 councilman Prester Thank You mayor I 541 00:28:15,570 --> 00:28:17,700 don't think there's any answers we can 542 00:28:17,700 --> 00:28:20,550 give or anything that we can say that's 543 00:28:20,550 --> 00:28:22,740 going to change anyone's mind who's 544 00:28:22,740 --> 00:28:26,430 going to have to pay City fees those 545 00:28:26,430 --> 00:28:29,520 taxes nobody really wants to pay we all 546 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,640 want somebody else to pay for them but 547 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,700 we enjoy the services you certainly will 548 00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:38,340 have a chance to vote on those people 549 00:28:38,340 --> 00:28:40,920 that will represent you which is a big 550 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,560 factor but you'll be part of the city 551 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,230 that you essentially live in now as the 552 00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:50,040 mayor has said and that's important we 553

retired 769 00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:54,940 and and on a fixed income where am I 770 00:40:54,940 --> 00:40:56,830 supposed to come up with a extra tax 771 00:40:56,830 --> 00:41:00,460 money you know I get a part-time job or 772 00:41:00,460 --> 00:41:03,280 whatever there's a little thing I 773 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,740 thought of you said that though you're 774 00:41:05,740 --> 00:41:08,230 trying to equalize the taxes how about 775 00:41:08,230 --> 00:41:10,870 dropping the taxes on the people that 776 00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:14,080 are already in Bellevue and even amount 777 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,180 that way instead of raising ours you 778 00:41:16,180 --> 00:41:18,490 know that that probably wouldn't work I 779 00:41:18,490 --> 00:41:23,170 suppose another thing I've watched a lot 780 00:41:23,170 --> 00:41:25,030 of Council meetings that a lot we've 781 00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:29,260 lived here since 91 and I think in the 782 00:41:29,260 --> 00:41:32,350 past I think they squandered a lot of 783 00:41:32,350 --> 00:41:33,990 tax money on a lot of foolish things 784 00:41:33,990 --> 00:41:36,640 I'll give you a few examples that just 785 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,200 the ones that I think about anyway is 786 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,470 that they did I think they paid HDR 787 00:41:41,470 --> 00:41:43,270 seventy five thousand dollars to do a 788 00:41:43,270 --> 00:41:47,740 study on the fourth core value quarter 789 00:41:47,740 --> 00:41:51,390 coming in from Omaha off at 13th 790 00:41:51,390 --> 00:41:55,050 well you look down there now all them 791 00:41:55,050 --> 00:41:57,610 all that empty land down there where 792 00:41:57,610 --> 00:41:59,080 that trailer court used to be that they 793 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,120 kicked those people out of there was a 794 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,340 plate a rental place down there that's 795 00:42:03,340 --> 00:42:05,350 sitting there vacant there's a few car 796 00:42:05,350 --> 00:42:06,930 lots that have moved in down there 797 00:42:06,930 --> 00:42:09,520 basically it's just I don't know what 798 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,970 that $75,000 was for other than to put 799 00:42:12,970 --> 00:42:19,370 restrictions on what could go in there I 800 00:42:19,380 --> 00:42:22,420 just think that they haven't spent some 801 00:42:22,420 --> 00:42:24,790 of the money very wisely another thing 802 00:42:24,790 --> 00:42:28,150 was they spent $85,000 I believe it was 803 00:42:28,150 --> 00:42:32,080 to paint bike lanes on Fort crook in 804 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,040 other places and in all the years since 805 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,330 they've done that I've never seen one 806 00:42:37,330 --> 00:42:41,530 single bicycle on in those bike lanes so 807 00:42:41,530 --> 00:42:44,349 I don't know how that was a good spin 808 00:42:44,349 --> 00:42:47,079 you know another thing the softball 809 00:42:47,079 --> 00:42:49,239 village down there the Bellevue I don't 810 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:50,979 know if whatever happened with that deal 811 00:42:50,979 --> 00:42:53,470 where the management company took all 812 00:42:53,470 --> 00:42:56,680 the money and Bellevue left holding the 813 00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:03,999 bag without but I just think that they 814 00:43:03,999 --> 00:43:05,410 could spend the money more wisely you 815 00:43:05,410 --> 00:43:06,489 know if you're gonna get my tax money 816 00:43:06,489 --> 00:43:07,660 you know I would hope that you would 817 00:43:07,660 --> 00:43:12,609 spend it you know wisely another example 818 00:43:12,609 --> 00:43:14,229 was here a while back that they had a 819 00:43:14,229 --> 00:43:15,549 deal on there where the police 820 00:43:15,549 --> 00:43:18,849 department needed 14 video cameras I 821 00:43:18,849 --> 00:43:20,319 believe was a number I'm not positive I 822 00:43:20,319 --> 00:43:22,269 think was 14 to do interviews 823 00:43:22,269 --> 00:43:24,849 why would maybe it's justified I don't 824 00:43:24,849 --> 00:43:27,249 know why would they need 14 of them to 825 00:43:27,249 --> 00:43:29,229 do interviews they have a big influx of 826 00:43:29,229 --> 00:43:34,299 crime on their show that's about all I 827 00:43:34,299 --> 00:43:36,670 have to say I guess I'll just leave you 828 00:43:36,670 --> 00:43:39,910 with a little tidbit

about taking all out 837 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,230 of the annexation package some of the 838 00:44:25,230 --> 00:44:28,230 Greenbelt properties and I noticed now 839 00:44:28,230 --> 00:44:31,230 that they're back in is there any reason 840 00:44:31,230 --> 00:44:33,509 the Planning Commission gives a 841 00:44:33,509 --> 00:44:35,369 recommendation to the council and then 842 00:44:35,369 --> 00:44:37,980 the council has elected to keep them in 843 00:44:37,980 --> 00:44:40,739 unless a council member removes those so 844 00:44:40,739 --> 00:44:43,170 that's that's all we'll be voting on

get it you get a 1003 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:19,319 talk to us I know but you know how is 1004 00:52:19,319 --> 00:52:21,119 this process are you guys just you know 1005 00:52:21,119 --> 00:52:23,279 we're here we talk and you guys just you 1006 00:52:23,279 --> 00:52:24,960 know you just hear that 1007 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:26,279 because last time I was here you know 1008 00:52:26,279 --> 00:52:27,630 you you're here and then you guys bought 1009 00:52:27,630 --> 00:52:30,569 you know to do it and then you know so I 1010 00:52:30,569 --> 00:52:32,640 mean if you guys are gonna do I even 1011 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,920 made these meetings really you know like 1012 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,269 I said you guys should do well you know 1013 00:52:36,269 --> 00:52:38,460 what you know if the people wanna get in 1014 00:52:38,460 --> 00:52:40,349 or you know make it you know 50 percent 1015 00:52:40,349 --> 00:52:42,210 more or something and then you do it 1016 00:52:42,210 --> 00:52:43,920 otherwise if you're gonna do it anyways 1017 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,019 yeah I really I don't know I just don't 1018 00:52:46,019 --> 00:52:47,430 really I don't really know what the 1019 00:52:47,430 --> 00:52:49,710 process is I would say if your taxes are 1020 00:52:49,710 --> 00:52:50,970 a little bit lower than hundred percent 1021 00:52:50,970 --> 00:52:53,069 of the people are not going to do it so 1022 00:52:53,069 --> 00:52:56,730 I would say if your taxes or person's 1023 00:52:56,730 --> 00:52:59,250 taxes are going to stay lower a hundred 1024 00:52:59,250 --> 00:53:00,630 percent of those people are not going to 1025 00:53:00,630 --> 00:53:02,760 do it but I can tell you we're listening 1026 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,019 to you we're listening for good 1027 00:53:04,019 --> 00:53:06,839 arguments on it and if there's any one 1028 00:53:06,839 --> 00:53:08,789 of us up here that's not listening raise 1029 00:53:08,789 --> 00:53:10,440 your hand because I know we all are I 1030 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,000 know you're listening but you know like 1031 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,010 you know last time you know I think 1032 00:53:14,010 --> 00:53:16,200 everyone I don't know how many people 1033 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,569 just as much and we've all weren't 1034 00:53:18,569 --> 00:53:20,190 opposed to it you know we don't want to 1035 00:53:20,190 --> 00:53:22,230 get it next and they're not you know you 1036 00:53:22,230 --> 00:53:24,720 guys didn't and then you guys say okay 1037 00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:26,910 we're proved in so I don't really see it 1038 00:53:26,910 --> 00:53:29,250 but the point is and I know I know 1039 00:53:29,250 --> 00:53:30,839 there's other people that don't show up 1040 00:53:30,839 --> 00:53:34,440 because they probably just feel you know why even go it's they're gonna 1041 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,750 do it anyways you know we wanna just to 1042 00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:38,880 make our voice that's all really for one 1043 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,140 thing it's law we have to have three 1044 00:53:40,140 --> 00:53:45,220 readings on it okay yes but I think just 1045 00:53:45,230 --> 00:53:56,099 thank you my name is Diane Petrovsky and 1046 00:53:56,099 --> 00:53:59,670 I live at 891 for South 13th Street I do 1047 00:53:59,670 --> 00:54:03,119 oppose this annexation I mean I don't 1048 00:54:03,119 --> 00:54:04,289 think we much have much of a choice but 1049 00:54:04,289 --> 00:54:07,680 my question is when we get annexed in 1050 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,309 and they decide to put in new streets or 1051 00:54:11,309 --> 00:54:13,650 sewers are we going to get charged 1052 00:54:13,650 --> 00:54:15,599 assessments against our property for the 1053 00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:19,559 footage of our property I mean our roads 1054 00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:22,109 right now are fine there's nothing wrong 1055 00:54:22,109 --> 00:54:23,720 with them but I'm just concerned 1056 00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:25,970 if the city decides later on all we need 1057 00:54:25,970 --> 00:54:29,119 to put streets and sewers I mean because 1058 00:54:29,119 --> 00:54:31,790 I know there's they've I've seen I used 1059 00:54:31,790 --> 00:54:33,560 to work for Douglas County and I've seen 1060 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,859 I put assessments against properties 1061 00:54:35,859 --> 00:54:39,770 I'll let our Public Works or Jeff or 1062 00:54:39,770 --> 00:54:42,170 Chris answer but if I'm if I'm incorrect 1063 00:54:42,170 --> 00:54:46,400 that when you're annexed into the city 1064 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,170 you're gonna get put into that capital 1065 00:54:48,170 --> 00:54:50,570 improvement plan so we're gonna put the 1066 00:54:50,570 --> 00:54:53,840 projects on our plan over the next one 1067 00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:55,849 year five years ten years twenty years 1068 00:54:55,849 --> 00:54:59,090 and eventually hopefully those streets 1069 00:54:59,090 --> 00:55:01,040 they get into that plan they get 1070 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,630 improved over time it's not going to be 1071 00:55:02,630 --> 00:55:03,320 done tomorrow 1072 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,090 now I would say if an area has a huge 1073 00:55:07,090 --> 00:55:09,609 street start caving in or something 1074 00:55:09,609 --> 00:55:12,020 there could possibly be a paving 1075 00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:15,849 district but I'll let Jeff get into that 1076 00:55:15,849 --> 00:55:20,030 mr. Roberts well we do have the ability 1077 00:55:20,030 --> 00:55:21,770 to create paving districts where you 1078 00:55:21,770 --> 00:55:24,590 would do special assessments but as a 1079 00:55:24,590 --> 00:55:27,740 for for as long as I've been here we've 1080 00:55:27,740 --> 00:55:30,470 never done that to anybody I'm guessing 1081 00:55:30,470 --> 00:55:32,119 if it's just a street maintenance or 1082 00:55:32,119 --> 00:55:33,890 something like that then you know city 1083 00:55:33,890 --> 00:55:35,510 will come in and take care of a patch it 1084 00:55:35,510 --> 00:55:37,609 do whatever as far as tearing out which 1085 00:55:37,609 --> 00:55:40,609 you've got in and putting all brand-new 1086 00:55:40,609 --> 00:55:42,650 curbs curved out streets with storms 1087 00:55:42,650 --> 00:55:43,790 through and all that we're probably not 1088 00:55:43,790 --> 00:55:45,800 going to do that for many many years 1089 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,990 because I mean it can cost a lot of 1090 00:55:47,990 --> 00:55:50,000 money I've seen it run ten twenty 1091 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,400 thousand dollars and I don't want I mean 1092 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:53,960 a lot of these people you all know our 1093 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,330 taxes are gonna go up as it is I don't 1094 00:55:56,330 --> 00:55:57,830 want to get charged another ten to 1095 00:55:57,830 --> 00:55:59,210 twenty thousand because I know they go 1096 00:55:59,210 --> 00:56:00,380 according to the footage of your 1097 00:56:00,380 --> 00:56:05,480 property right correct yeah and yeah 1098 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,359 we're so he's not under obligation to go 1099 00:56:08,359 --> 00:56:10,460 in and rip out anybody streets and 1100 00:56:10,460 --> 00:56:13,400 change them and then you know if there's 1101 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,480 no need to do it but if the street start 1102 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,849 getting bad then they're gonna I said 1103 00:56:19,849 --> 00:56:21,380 we've never done it before when we've 1104 00:56:21,380 --> 00:56:23,180 done street work we put in new streets 1105 00:56:23,180 --> 00:56:25,430 the city's always put a bill for it 1106 00:56:25,430 --> 00:56:27,109 we've never assessed any prospects in 1107 00:56:27,109 --> 00:56:28,670 Douglas County Dukes I used to work for 1108 00:56:28,670 --> 00:56:31,040 the treasurer over there cities do do 1109 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,520 that those County Omaha yeah I know 1110 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:35,620 they've done at times 1111 00:56:35,620 --> 00:56:39,190 but we never have here okay I mean you 1112 00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:41,080 can't say for sure that no nothing's 1113 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,320 100% guaranteed we have no plans I mean 1114 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,240 I know they said you have 50 days to pay 1115 00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:48,820 it I mean who's got $10,000 to pay that 1116 00:56:48,820 --> 00:56:50,770 in 50 I'll actually think you have seven 1117 00:56:50,770 --> 00:56:52,680 years to pay it off with interest 1118 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,120 correct yeah yeah and the interest is 1119 00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:56,980 pretty high ten to twelve understanding 1120 00:56:56,980 --> 00:56:59,020 not hiring I couldn't tell you what yeah 1121 00:56:59,020 --> 00:57:01,480 I know it's pretty high so that's what 1122 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:02,920 my concern is I mean I'm worried about 1123 00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,630 the taxes oh I know my taxes are gonna 1124 00:57:04,630 --> 00:57:07,240 go up an additional twelve hundred for 1125 00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:08,920 the year because my assessed value went 1126 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,410 up twenty-six thousand plus with the 1127 00:57:11,410 --> 00:57:14,290 levy going up from what it is it's gonna 1128 00:57:14,290 --> 00:57:16,750 have a pretty increase but I'm more 1129 00:57:16,750 --> 00:57:18,220 worried about special assessments I 1130 00:57:18,220 --> 00:57:19,570 don't want to get a ten to twenty 1131 00:57:19,570 --> 00:57:21,430 thousand dollar right and you also 1132 00:57:21,430 --> 00:57:23,440 brought up those storm sewer you're just 1133 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,200 saying into a septic tank septic tanks 1134 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:27,460 and all that that if you have a septic 1135 00:57:27,460 --> 00:57:30,070 now and it works fine you can keep it in 1136 00:57:30,070 -->

--> 00:58:58,580 now deceased and we've used that line 1159 00:58:58,580 --> 00:59:02,960 before horses so that's kind of the 1160 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,210 background I'd like to talk more about 1161 00:59:05,210 --> 00:59:08,150 the people I know you're sitting there 1162 00:59:08,150 --> 00:59:12,200 very nicely lissa hearing maybe you're 1163 00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,120 listening but you're not hearing what we 1164 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:18,560 say and just maybe looking at the people 1165 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,070 in this area if you look at the map 1166 00:59:22,070 --> 00:59:25,970 where most day agriculture and you are 1167 00:59:25,970 --> 00:59:28,580 set up for the city you're set up for 1168 00:59:28,580 --> 00:59:34,220 development and little Lots and we have 1169 00:59:34,220 --> 00:59:37,430 trees that come down how many trees I 1170 00:59:37,430 --> 00:59:40,730 have and how much brush I have my 1171 00:59:40,730 --> 00:59:44,390 garbage works well now I think it you 1172 00:59:44,390 --> 00:59:46,100 know I get out there and I chop it up 1173 00:59:46,100 --> 00:59:48,050 into little sticks and get them in my 1174 00:59:48,050 --> 00:59:51,680 trash can they take it away but it's a 1175 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:56,570 lot of work to live on an acreage or 11 1176 00:59:56,570 --> 01:00:00,530 acres that on a place in town where you 1177 01:00:00,530 --> 01:00:03,200 could mow your little lot and you don't 1178 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,740 have huge lots to mowing and you have no 1179 01:00:06,740 --> 01:00:09,860 concept of the work that it takes to 1180 01:00:09,860 --> 01:00:13,190 live on an acreage or a large piece of 1181 01:00:13,190 --> 01:00:17,660 land my neighbors do my neighbors are 1182 01:00:17,660 --> 01:00:21,280 upset about taxes because those 1183 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,580 they've lived in they're paid for so 1184 01:00:24,580 --> 01:00:26,710 when the city people get a raise in 1185 01:00:26,710 --> 01:00:29,109 taxes or assessment by the way my 1186 01:00:29,109 --> 01:00:33,550 assessment is fifty five thousand so 1187 01:00:33,550 --> 01:00:36,310 it's going to make an effect but when 1188 01:00:36,310 --> 01:00:40,960 somebody has a loan then they just put 1189 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,369 parcel out over twelve months and their 1190 01:00:44,369 --> 01:00:49,750 payment goes up but when we get taxes go 1191 01:00:49,750 --> 01:00:54,180 up we have to pay it in a lump sum and 1192 01:00:54,180 --> 01:00:57,460 people are retired out here they don't 1193 01:00:57,460 --> 01:00:59,770 have the money to do that they're going 1194 01:00:59,770 --> 01:01:02,080 to have to borrow the money this is a 1195 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,800 hardship it truly is I I don't think 1196 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,349 that if you're living in a city and 1197 01:01:08,349 --> 01:01:11,800 comprehend what a hardship it is you 1198 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:16,530 know secondly improvements it would cost 1199 01:01:16,530 --> 01:01:21,840 $90,000 for me to go into the water 1200 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,820 which is at the corner of Casper and 1201 01:01:24,820 --> 01:01:28,990 13th because we've looked into it so we 1202 01:01:28,990 --> 01:01:32,830 have our well water you know ninety 1203 01:01:32,830 --> 01:01:35,589 thousand dollars a lot of money to run a 1204 01:01:35,589 --> 01:01:38,109 line all the way down is probably what 1205 01:01:38,109 --> 01:01:40,869 two blocks down there at the corner of 1206 01:01:40,869 --> 01:01:44,680 the high school

and if you'd 1285 01:06:19,310 --> 01:06:23,710 look on page 1 of that packet in page 2 1286 01:06:23,710 --> 01:06:28,100 this property sits right on that angle 1287 01:06:28,100 --> 01:06:30,740 that you'd see that goes from southeast 1288 01:06:30,740 --> 01:06:33,800 and northwest right below that is the 1289 01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,860 runway and then the runway runs north 1290 01:06:36,860 --> 01:06:39,770 and south along that other piece there 1291 01:06:39,770 --> 01:06:41,900 so this is kind of sitting right up into 1292 01:06:41,900 --> 01:06:49,480 the inside angle of the two runways that 1293 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,950 property because of where it's located 1294 01:06:51,950 --> 01:06:55,250 has is in what's in the egg who's the 1295 01:06:55,250 --> 01:06:57,800 egg who's is a rating system not only 1296 01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,800 for crash areas on both ends but also 1297 01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,820 for decibel ratings for each property 1298 01:07:04,820 --> 01:07:07,220 that's located along the sides of it as 1299 01:07:07,220 --> 01:07:08,510 well 1300 01:07:08,510 --> 01:07:11,270 this property is about 80 percent 1301 01:07:11,270 --> 01:07:13,310 covered by either 80 decibels seventy 1302 01:07:13,310 --> 01:07:15,890 five decibel or seventy decimal area 1303 01:07:15,890 --> 01:07:20,990 which is illustrated on pages 1 & 2 when 1304 01:07:20,990 --> 01:07:23,030 you go to get a building permit for this 1305 01:07:23,030 --> 01:07:26,420 property you have to go through this 1306 01:07:26,420 --> 01:07:29,600 ecus application process which includes 1307 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:34,040 being notifying the base engineer and 1308 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:34,440 the base 1309 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,589 then also makes comments on it based 1310 01:07:37,589 --> 01:07:39,809 upon where this property is located is 1311 01:07:39,809 --> 01:07:41,369 essentially surrounded either by the 1312 01:07:41,369 --> 01:07:44,849 base or very high density housing the 1313 01:07:44,849 --> 01:07:46,829 only likelihood of anything that could 1314 01:07:46,829 --> 01:07:49,079 go in that area then and be compatible 1315 01:07:49,079 --> 01:07:53,010 would also be some type of housing the 1316 01:07:53,010 --> 01:07:54,839 difficulty with the housing in the a 1317 01:07:54,839 --> 01:07:58,049 coos area and as illustrated I believe 1318 01:07:58,049 --> 01:08:03,030 on page four is if you look at all of 1319 01:08:03,030 --> 01:08:05,460 those areas they have footnotes that 1320 01:08:05,460 --> 01:08:08,280 either say you can't build anything so 1321 01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:12,089 75 to 80 and 80 plus you can't build any 1322 01:08:12,089 --> 01:08:14,430 housing in that area 1323 01:08:14,430 --> 01:08:19,020 and then if you go into the 70 75 and 65 1324 01:08:19,020 --> 01:08:21,660 70 which is only about 30 percent of the 1325 01:08:21,660 --> 01:08:24,299 property it has footnotes on those 1326 01:08:24,299 --> 01:08:26,940 footnotes are then carried over I 1327 01:08:26,940 --> 01:08:31,080 believe on page 6 in which there are 1328 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:35,100 very high degrees of insulation and 1329 01:08:35,100 --> 01:08:37,109 otherwise that you have to reduce the 1330 01:08:37,109 --> 01:08:40,380 decibel rating to that's under footnotes 1331 01:08:40,380 --> 01:08:45,150 25 30 or 35 and then on note 11 as you 1332 01:08:45,150 --> 01:08:46,890 read that they say they strongly 1333 01:08:46,890 --> 01:08:50,130 discourage any housing residential use 1334 01:08:50,130 --> 01:08:52,770 in that area and an evaluation should be 1335 01:08:52,770 --> 01:08:55,290 conducted prior to approvals indicating 1336 01:08:55,290 --> 01:08:57,870 that a demonstrated community need for 1337 01:08:57,870 --> 01:09:00,449 residential use would not be met if 1338 01:09:00,449 --> 01:09:02,190 development were prohibited in these 1339 01:09:02,190 --> 01:09:04,489 zones and they're no viable alternative 1340 01:09:04,489 --> 01:09:07,500 locations I've experienced dealing with 1341 01:09:07,500 --> 01:09:09,600 the egg who's in a number of times in a 1342 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,940 area that is not nearly as impacted as 1343 01:09:11,940 --> 01:09:14,580 this area by the acres and the engineer 1344 01:09:14,580 --> 01:09:16,380 has essentially sent letters to the city 1345 01:09:16,380 --> 01:09:17,940 of Bellevue that has said we don't want 1346 01:09:17,940 --> 01:09:20,759 anything there that's residential we and 1347 01:09:20,759 --> 01:09:22,469 we would just as soon not have any 1348 01:09:22,469 --> 01:09:26,549 buildings in that area as well so the 1349 01:09:26,549 --> 01:09:28,500 issue and the problem that we have is 1350 01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:31,230 that this property truly is a farm it's 1351 01:09:31,230 --> 01:09:34,020 rural in nature the only thing that on 1352 01:09:34,020 --> 01:09:36,390 it on it is a farm building a 1353 01:09:36,390 --> 01:09:38,790 dilapidated house that was built prior 1354 01:09:38,790 --> 01:09:42,000 to the egg whose zoning nobody lives on 1355 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:43,980 this farm I don't think anybody wouldn't 1356 01:09:43,980 --> 01:09:46,680 want to live on this farm 1357 01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,500 and it will continue to be rural in 1358 01:09:49,500 --> 01:09:51,390 nature they put beans on it one year 1359 01:09:51,390 --> 01:09:55,830 they put corn the other year so aside 1360 01:09:55,830 --> 01:09:59,700 from these smaller parcels that are have 1361 01:09:59,700 --> 01:10:02,540 green belt this is actually a large farm 1362 01:10:02,540 --> 01:10:06,750 that will it be nothing ever than a farm 1363 01:10:06,750 --> 01:10:09,570 in fact I think if you look if the acres 1364 01:10:09,570 --> 01:10:11,520 could have been put in prior to some of 1365 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,110 the development of Bellevue you would 1366 01:10:13,110 --> 01:10:14,820 have seen other areas in that corner 1367 01:10:14,820 --> 01:10:16,470 that would not have had housing either 1368 01:10:16,470 --> 01:10:18,570 but they certainly aren't going to allow 1369 01:10:18,570 --> 01:10:21,510 any future housing I'd also note in the 1370 01:10:21,510 --> 01:10:23,640 packet and I believe it's just second to 1371 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,890 last page that if you can try to wrap it 1372 01:10:25,890 --> 01:10:27,420 up and just share 30 seconds or so 1373 01:10:27,420 --> 01:10:29,070 yep the council ask you questions too 1374 01:10:29,070 --> 01:10:31,440 yep if you'll look under your 1375 01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:34,410 comprehensive plan you have areas legend 1376 01:10:34,410 --> 01:10:38,550 of annexation potential priority if you 1377 01:10:38,550 --> 01:10:42,810 look there's low medium and high mmm in 1378 01:10:42,810 --> 01:10:44,160 your comprehensive plan there is no 1379 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,680 indication to annexes property at all 1380 01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:50,070 and then the file page this property 1381 01:10:50,070 --> 01:10:53,730 actually was annexed back in 2003 I gave 1382 01:10:53,730 --> 01:10:57,270 a similar presentation back in 2003 of 1383 01:10:57,270 --> 01:11:00,710 the circumstances with this property and 1384 01:11:00,710 --> 01:11:03,270 council at that time reversed their 1385 01:11:03,270 --> 01:11:06,420 decision and detached the property and 1386 01:11:06,420 --> 01:11:08,460 did not include it within the city 1387 01:11:08,460 --> 01:11:10,890 limits because truly it was rural and 1388 01:11:10,890 --> 01:11:13,400 character and would continue to be so I 1389 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:17,880 don't that's it questions for mr. 1390 01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:22,290 Sullivan Councilwoman watch so mr. 1391 01:11:22,290 --> 01:11:24,180 Sullivan did you mention that this 1392 01:11:24,180 --> 01:11:26,700 property is at the end of the runway at 1393 01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:29,250 Offutt is it sad it's at the where the 1394 01:11:29,250 --> 01:11:31,650 crux of the runner runway runs north and 1395 01:11:31,650 --> 01:11:35,490 south and then kind of an angle north 1396 01:11:35,490 --> 01:11:38,520 from the Northwest to the southeast so 1397 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,790 it would be like this way well right 1398 01:11:41,790 --> 01:11:43,770 there'd be like this and the property 1399 01:11:43,770 --> 01:11:44,610 sits right here 1400 01:11:44,610 --> 01:11:47,340 okay so with the flooding that happened 1401 01:11:47,340 --> 01:11:52,200 on the runway over by the Harlan Lewis 1402 01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,330 do either married it's behind Paradise 1403 01:11:54,330 --> 01:11:56,910 Lake so okay what the flooding that 1404 01:11:56,910 --> 01:11:59,549 happened there and 1405 01:11:59,549 --> 01:12:01,049 budget from the government that they're 1406 01:12:01,049 --> 01:12:02,669 talking about with repairs and that kind 1407 01:12:02,669 --> 01:12:04,739 of stuff is there any indicator that 1408 01:12:04,739 --> 01:12:06,899 Offutt may purchase this property we've 1409 01:12:06,899 --> 01:12:10,019 had no indication to that point no okay 1410 01:12:10,019 --> 01:12:13,109 and just to give you an idea of how 1411 01:12:13,109 --> 01:12:16,409 close this is to those two runways bob 1412 01:12:16,409 --> 01:12:18,179 was down there fixing fence and he had 1413 01:12:18,179 --> 01:12:20,999 MP show up with machine guns next to him 1414 01:12:20,999 --> 01:12:23,039 asking him what he was doing I mean it 1415 01:12:23,039 --> 01:12:25,349 literally sits right up against the 1416 01:12:25,349 --> 01:12:29,449 runways question for Chris shoot Chuck 1417 01:12:29,449 --> 01:12:32,429 back when Paradise Lakes was approved is 1418 01:12:32,429 --> 01:12:34,619 this a ques the same back then as it is 1419 01:12:34,619 --> 01:12:40,019 now or is that changed I believe it's 1420 01:12:40,019 --> 01:12:43,379 the same sorry I should've asked you 1421 01:12:43,379 --> 01:12:46,829 that before him I'm trying to think 1422 01:12:46,829 --> 01:12:49,319 Paradise Park was approved about the 1423 01:12:49,319 --> 01:12:52,289 time I started with the city just before 1424 01:12:52,289 --> 01:12:54,209 that and I think the anchors ordinance 1425 01:12:54,209 --> 01:12:57,510 was in effect at that time so it 1426 01:12:57,510 --> 01:12:58,799 wouldn't be a whole lot different than 1427 01:12:58,799 --> 01:13:01,709 that because I know it right in your 1428 01:13:01,709 --> 01:13:05,039 opinion or a lot of it's fairly similar 1429 01:13:05,039 --> 01:13:09,059 I mean that's my question is there's a 1430 01:13:09,059 --> 01:13:12,119 couple different of purchasers out there 1431 01:13:12,119 --> 01:13:14,819 that are interested in the Paradise 1432 01:13:14,819 --> 01:13:18,419 Lakes area so if you let me address that 1433 01:13:18,419 --> 01:13:20,579 if I could go over to the screen did you 1434 01:13:20,579 --> 01:13:22,979 actually do you represent Paradise Beck 1435 01:13:22,979 --> 01:13:28,949 dinner yeah okay so that a cooz goes 1436 01:13:28,949 --> 01:13:36,449 like this okay and it gets lower depths 1437 01:13:36,449 --> 01:13:38,939 down here so when you get down here 1438 01:13:38,939 --> 01:13:45,029 the ecus is much lower concentration 1439 01:13:45,029 --> 01:13:49,019 than it is here right so this comes 1440 01:13:49,019 --> 01:13:51,419 across like this so the lines go like 1441 01:13:51,419 --> 01:13:56,609 this and they're captured by the 65 our 1442 01:13:56,609 --> 01:14:06,270 65 runs right here so there they are 1443 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:11,600 and I and I just mr. Schue chuck could 1444 01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,180 probably advise if we send this to city 1445 01:14:14,180 --> 01:14:15,890 engineers and say we want to put homes 1446 01:14:15,890 --> 01:14:18,110 in here the reaction that we would get 1447 01:14:18,110 --> 01:14:21,970 from the city from the base engineer 1448 01:14:21,970 --> 01:14:28,760 they would probably discourage it yeah I 1449 01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:30,290 guess I'm looking at the map that you 1450 01:14:30,290 --> 01:14:31,460 had and it looks like the lines of 1451 01:14:31,460 --> 01:14:33,560 decimals the same as Paradise Lakes I'm 1452 01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,240 so have to look at that a little closer 1453 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:40,250 so if we want to make a note of that and 1454 01:14:40,250 --> 01:14:44,730 talk about that later 1455 01:14:44,740 --> 01:14:48,080 any other questions I do have one more 1456 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,450 question this annexation potential plan 1457 01:14:50,450 --> 01:14:52,550 mm-hmm that you gave us when was this 1458 01:14:52,550 --> 01:14:54,920 created believe it was created in the 1459 01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:56,750 last time the comprehensive plan was 1460 01:14:56,750 --> 01:14:59,560 done and that was 2011 1461 01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:04,220 is that correct 2011 how often do those 1462 01:15:04,220 --> 01:15:11,660 plans change prior to that had been a 1463 01:15:11,660 --> 01:15:14,600 long time since we had updated the comp 1464 01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:18,800 plan well we'll probably look at doing 1465 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,630 it once we get census information again 1466 01:15:20,630 --> 01:15:24,140 and you know have a better idea of the 1467 01:15:24,140 --> 01:15:25,760 population of the city and the services 1468 01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,130 that are needed with the city okay thank 1469 01:15:28,130 --> 01:15:33,380 you and one more for mr.

01:17:12,050 Municipal Corporation in this country 1495 01:17:12,050 --> 01:17:14,060 both by name and by use is that of 1496 01:17:14,060 --> 01:17:17,030 oneness a collective body that is a body

having a community 1500 01:17:23,780 --> 01:17:25,460 of interest because residents of the 1501 01:17:25,460 --> 01:17:28,520 same place so as to a territorial extent 1502 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:30,770 the idea of a city is one of unity not a 1503 01:17:30,770 --> 01:17:33,409 plurality of compactness or continuity 1504 01:17:33,409 --> 01:17:37,159 not separation or segregation contiguous 1505 01:17:37,159 --> 01:17:39,170 generally required even the absence of 1506 01:17:39,170 --> 01:17:41,619 statutory requirements to that effect 1507 01:17:41,619 --> 01:17:43,940 well cities of the first class are given 1508 01:17:43,940 --> 01:17:45,679 authority under chapter 16 of the 1509 01:17:45,679 --> 01:17:47,150 Nebraska Revised Statutes and 1510 01:17:47,150 -->

statue 1 that's 16 1 18 states 1519 01:18:11,710 --> 01:18:14,150 Lance tract streets and highways shall 1520 01:18:14,150 --> 01:18:16,489 be deemed contiguous although a stream 1521 01:18:16,489 --> 01:18:18,440 embankment strip or parcel of land not 1522 01:18:18,440 --> 01:18:20,780 more than 200 feet wide lies between the 1523 01:18:20,780 --> 01:18:24,860 same in the corporate limits so if you 1524 01:18:24,860 --> 01:18:30,079 scroll down on the map here so I look at 1525 01:18:30,079 --> 01:18:31,400 the map of the annexation that 1526 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,920 is 8 9 the property annexed by Bellevue 1527 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,230 in 2008 seems to be a flag without a 1528 01:18:36,230 --> 01:18:40,190 pole is not continuous to the previous 1529 01:18:40,190 --> 01:18:42,170 bellevue city limits and the gap between 1530 01:18:42,170 --> 01:18:45,170 these two years exceeds 200 feet if 1531 01:18:45,170 --> 01:18:46,969 challenged this annexation was most 1532 01:18:46,969 --> 01:18:50,510 likely been nullified now going back to 1533 01:18:50,510 --> 01:18:52,159 the courts definition of what a city is 1534 01:18:52,159 --> 01:18:53,690 we see that Bellevue is no longer a 1535 01:18:53,690 --> 01:18:55,940 unified municipality either but rather 1536 01:18:55,940 --> 01:18:58,610 one of plurality we now have Bellevue 1537 01:18:58,610 --> 01:19:02,630 and other values as such any attempt to 1538 01:19:02,630 --> 01:19:04,310 annex lands that are solely contiguous 1539 01:19:04,310 --> 01:19:06,710 to other value which is at the bottom of 1540 01:19:06,710 --> 01:19:09,500 this map would be an act of plurality it 1541 01:19:09,500 --> 01:19:11,150 would not be an extension of the main 1542 01:19:11,150 --> 01:19:14,270 body of Bellevue as such any attack on 1543 01:19:14,270 --> 01:19:16,159 the annexation ordinance that is solely 1544 01:19:16,159 --> 01:19:18,469 contiguous to other Bellevue will also 1545 01:19:18,469 --> 01:19:20,420 challenge the legal effect of the 2008 1546 01:19:20,420 --> 01:19:24,800 ordinance in addition looking at tax 1547 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:28,100 like a parcel tax lot Jay that's a 1548 01:19:28,100 --> 01:19:30,890 little blue horizontal rectangle that's 1549 01:19:30,890 --> 01:19:33,800 out there all by itself it occurred on 1550 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,210 this map the dis section is not 1551 01:19:35,210 --> 01:19:37,480 contiguous to any part of Bellevue 1552 01:19:37,480 --> 01:19:39,860 usually when a municipality tries to do 1553 01:19:39,860 --> 01:19:41,659 a strip or flagpole annexation that 1554 01:19:41,659 --> 01:19:43,010 makes sure that at least one small 1555 01:19:43,010 --> 01:19:44,750 portion of the land is connected to the 1556 01:19:44,750 --> 01:19:47,179 corporate limits of the city when 1557 01:19:47,179 --> 01:19:48,590 challenged these annexations are 1558 01:19:48,590 --> 01:19:50,120 regularly nullified by the courts as 1559 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,960 they fill the contiguous test as stated 1560 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,390 in Sarpy V Papillion the powers 1561 01:19:56,390 --> 01:19:58,760 delegated to municipal corporations to 1562 01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,370 annex territory must be exercised in 1563 01:20:01,370 --> 01:20:03,080 strict accord with the statute 1564 01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:06,290 conferring it in conclusion I am opposed 1565 01:20:06,290 --> 01:20:08,239 to any axial annexation that is not 1566 01:20:08,239 --> 01:20:10,219 contiguous to the main body of Bellevue 1567 01:20:10,219 --> 01:20:16,159 thank you thank you I'm gonna turn that 1568 01:20:16,159 --> 01:20:19,159 over to our attorney Bree but I can and 1569 01:20:19,159 --> 01:20:22,550 this is a going off past memory but when 1570 01:20:22,550 --> 01:20:26,239 they annexed that area to the south it 1571 01:20:26,239 --> 01:20:28,610 stood the time to challenge from what I 1572 01:20:28,610 --> 01:20:33,469 understand and there was no challenge on 1573 01:20:33,469 --> 01:20:38,030 it so I'm assuming that's part of me 1574 01:20:38,030 --> 01:20:40,429 much of that land is owned by the City 1575 01:20:40,429 --> 01:20:43,130 of Bellevue yeah some of it and then the 1576 01:20:43,130 --> 01:20:43,510 rest 1577 01:20:43,510 --> 01:20:46,739 a large majority it seems to be owned by 1578 01:20:46,739 --> 01:20:53,349 Bellevue future development LLC's it's a separate private entity it's not 1579 01:20:53,349 --> 01:20:54,760 Bellevue it has nothing to it the city 1580 01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:55,719 above you 1581 01:20:55,719 --> 01:20:57,610 they an tax that to bring it I believe 1582 01:20:57,610 --> 01:20:58,929 to put the baseball world baseball 1583 01:20:58,929 --> 01:21:01,539 village in there and for for finance its 1584 01:21:01,539 --> 01:21:03,159 purpose are the corporation that was 1585 01:21:03,159 --> 01:21:05,820 working with Bellevue do developed the 1586 01:21:05,820 --> 01:21:08,679 baseball softball complex I don't know 1587 01:21:08,679 --> 01:21:10,090 if it's the same corporation or a 1588 01:21:10,090 --> 01:21:11,500 separate one so I don't know that answer 1589 01:21:11,500 --> 01:21:13,300 I don't see where they'd have any 1590 01:21:13,300 --> 01:21:17,980 interest in opposing the annexation the 1591 01:21:17,980 --> 01:21:19,750 county attorney I'm not turned over 1592 01:21:19,750 --> 01:21:22,000 brizel the county attorney could have 1593 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,829 opposed that and brought a suit against 1594 01:21:23,829 --> 01:21:25,570 the city if the city didn't want to sue 1595 01:21:25,570 --> 01:21:28,719 itself in that situation but since that 1596 01:21:28,719 --> 01:21:30,219 wasn't challenged that is an effective 1597 01:21:30,219 --> 01:21:32,110 annexation additionally I would direct 1598 01:21:32,110 --> 01:21:35,650 you to 16 - 130 which is the correct 1599 01:21:35,650 --> 01:21:39,820 statute it's not 16 - 1 1 7 so I just 1600 01:21:39,820 --> 01:21:41,920 direct your attention to that we will 1601 01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:44,409 review any of your concerns and I'm 1602 01:21:44,409 --> 01:21:45,699 happy to answer any questions from 1603 01:21:45,699 --> 01:21:48,400 Council tomorrow prior to the vote but 1604 01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,099 as far as the - a 2008 annexation that 1605 01:21:51,099 --> 01:21:53,800 is effective and any annexations 1606 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,409 presented today and voted on on Thursday 1607 01:21:56,409 --> 01:21:57,639 have already been looked at and they're 1608 01:21:57,639 --> 01:22:02,800 contiguous and adjacent and I guess I'd 1609 01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:04,119 like to add that that space in between 1610 01:22:04,119 --> 01:22:07,659 is the the air base off at Air Force 1611 01:22:07,659 --> 01:22:09,820 Base and the city does have the power to 1612 01:22:09,820 --> 01:22:12,400 annex the base but I believe we're there 1613 01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,920 was a being a good neighbor type 1614 01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:18,190 situation back then and we opposed to go 1615 01:22:18,190 --> 01:22:22,110 this route which was never challenged 1616 01:22:22,110 --> 01:22:25,239 okay well if you look at 16 130 section 1617 01:22:25,239 --> 01:22:31,420 2 it still requires that annexations be 1618 01:22:31,420 --> 01:22:34,300 of contiguous and adjacent lands that's 1619 01:22:34,300 --> 01:22:37,480 correct sir and since there was no 1620 01:22:37,480 --> 01:22:39,699 challenge in the 2008 one it's an 1621 01:22:39,699 --> 01:22:43,110 effective annexation and these 1622 01:22:43,110 --> 01:22:54,720 annexations are adjacent and contiguous 1623 01:22:54,730 --> 01:23:00,820 tax like a partial tax like Jay a little 1624 01:23:00,820 --> 01:23:06,240 horizontal rectangle by its lonesome 1625 01:23:06,250 --> 01:23:08,440 also owned by the City of Bellevue 1626 01:23:08,440 --> 01:23:11,150 therefore there be no objection to it by 1627 01:23:11,150 --> 01:23:14,060 the city however you are still bound by 1628 01:23:14,060 --> 01:23:20,900 state statute I don't know which 1629 01:23:20,900 --> 01:23:22,430 persuade you're

Greenbelt valuation for our farm 1985 01:43:56,930 --> 01:43:59,180 property two hundred and twenty acres 1986 01:43:59,180 --> 01:44:02,060 not a huge amount of farm property as it 1987 01:44:02,060 --> 01:44:05,300 these days but that's gonna be a very 1988 01:44:05,300 --> 01:44:08,720 large increase in taxable liability for 1989 01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:11,110 our company and of course we're

issues that we're 1993 01:44:19,310 --> 01:44:23,690 concerned about and I think that's about 1994 01:44:23,690 --> 01:44:26,060 all I'd like to say right now all right 1995 01:44:26,060 -->

the Board of 2001 01:44:39,470 --> 01:44:42,920 Equalization if it's truly undeveloped 2002 01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:44,090 with the ground that needs to be brought 2003 01:44:44,090 --> 01:44:45,770 up with the accounting assessor because 2004 01:44:45,770 --> 01:44:47,630 they're the ones but puts the values on 2005 01:44:47,630 --> 01:45:08,340 the 2006 01:45:08,350 --> 01:45:12,050 my name is Brian Fisher partner qtek 2007 01:45:12,050 --> 01:45:15,470 Rock 1650 Farnam Street Omaha Nebraska 2008 01:45:15,470 --> 01:45:18,050 I represent darling international and I 2009 01:45:18,050 --> 01:45:20,480 offered the letter that was referenced 2010 01:45:20,480 --> 01:45:23,150 that was provided today sorry I got 2011 01:45:23,150 --> 01:45:25,489 engaged in this matter late yesterday so 2012 01:45:25,489 --> 01:45:28,190 I've got this together to get some 2013 01:45:28,190 --> 01:45:29,840 thoughts together on this annexation 2014 01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:31,310 I'll be very brief you can read my 2015 01:45:31,310 --> 01:45:32,870 letter I just asked the letter to be 2016 01:45:32,870 --> 01:45:35,360 part of the record and ultimately I want 2017 01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:37,670 to just briefly state I think darling is 2018 01:45:37,670 --> 01:45:39,260 willing to try to negotiate a resolution 2019 01:45:39,260 --> 01:45:42,050 to this and that's why I do ask for a 2020 01:45:42,050 --> 01:45:44,330 30-day layover to have some discussions 2021 01:45:44,330 --> 01:45:46,520 on this because in reviewing the the 2022 01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:48,590 relevant case law and all of this there 2023 01:45:48,590 --> 01:45:50,600 are at least four grounds any one of 2024 01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:53,239 which I believe could could be a 2025 01:45:53,239 --> 01:45:54,830 challenge of valid challenge that would 2026 01:45:54,830 --> 01:45:57,500 work to stop this annexation completely 2027 01:45:57,500 --> 01:45:58,850 and I'm not sure the taxpayers at 2028 01:45:58,850 --> 01:46:00,830 Bellevue need to pay for that and I 2029 01:46:00,830 --> 01:46:02,570 think we could work it out if we had 2030 01:46:02,570 --> 01:46:04,970 some time you know when it comes to the 2031 01:46:04,970 --> 01:46:08,450 contiguous issue that was discussed you 2032 01:46:08,450 --> 01:46:11,300 know the real question is court Nebraska 2033 01:46:11,300 --> 01:46:13,250 hasn't addressed whether the city can 2034 01:46:13,250 --> 01:46:16,220 buy property and exit because it's not 2035 01:46:16,220 --> 01:46:17,630 going to object to its own accusation 2036 01:46:17,630 --> 01:46:20,060 and then use that to be contiguous even 2037 01:46:20,060 --> 01:46:22,130 though the whole section is separated 2038 01:46:22,130 --> 01:46:24,050 from the rest of the city I think that's 2039 01:46:24,050 --> 01:46:25,910 an open question you know of course the 2040 01:46:25,910 --> 01:46:27,290 City of Bellevue did try to annex the 2041 01:46:27,290 --> 01:46:30,920 entire base back in 1971 the US District 2042 01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:33,770 Court denied that and there's also a 2043 01:46:33,770 --> 01:46:35,210 question of whether you can have that 2044 01:46:35,210 --> 01:46:38,120 big of a space between the city and the 2045 01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:40,550 annexation package and jump over that 2046 01:46:40,550 --> 01:46:41,870 and be valid I think that's another 2047 01:46:41,870 --> 01:46:43,730 legal issue that I think is open 2048 01:46:43,730 --> 01:46:47,420 question in addition if you look at 2049 01:46:47,420 --> 01:46:49,880 particularly the part that's in and 2050 01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:52,070 number fourteen over there that Arlene 2051 01:46:52,070 --> 01:46:54,200 Darling owns a considerable portion of 2052 01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:57,170 it's a couple hundred acres right there 2053 01:46:57,170 --> 01:46:59,570 that's not going to be developed some of 2054 01:46:59,570 --> 01:47:01,880 it is in a lowland that is not suitable 2055 01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:02,420 for 2056 01:47:02,420 --> 01:47:05,570 development the real question is if the 2057 01:47:05,570 --> 01:47:07,610 ultimate goal is to get to the 2058 01:47:07,610 --> 01:47:10,280 subdivision that's to the south you know 2059 01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:13,820 I believe it's the Normandy Hills a 2060 01:47:13,820 --> 01:47:15,679 neighborhood if that's the I was stated 2061 01:47:15,679 --> 01:47:17,540 as the reason I think if that's the bat 2062 01:47:17,540 --> 01:47:19,550 the reason for proceeding with the 2063 01:47:19,550 --> 01:47:21,020 annexation I think it's invalid under 2064 01:47:21,020 --> 01:47:24,080 Nebraska law I think you can't you you 2065 01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:26,390 can't add in agricultural land to get to 2066 01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:29,210 a subdivision at least things I think 2067 01:47:29,210 --> 01:47:30,830 the least it's up for legal discussion 2068 01:47:30,830 --> 01:47:33,800 of what you can and there's some 2069 01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:36,830 Authority out there on that question and 2070 01:47:36,830 --> 01:47:39,880 then the final thing I think really is 2071 01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:43,280 you know if there is a concern we got a 2072 01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:46,100 lot of trucks going on this road and as 2073 01:47:46,100 --> 01:47:49,000 outlined by the darling representative 2074 01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:51,620 this is you know Sarpy County has the 2075 01:47:51,620 --> 01:47:53,780 people in the facilities and if the city 2076 01:47:53,780 --> 01:47:55,070 could make a deal to get that road 2077 01:47:55,070 --> 01:47:57,410 continuing to maintained the real issue 2078 01:47:57,410 --> 01:47:59,600 is if the city has an ultimate plan to 2079 01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:01,989 make a lot more traffic on that road 2080 01:48:01,989 --> 01:48:06,020 it's a safety issue as well and just 2081 01:48:06,020 --> 01:48:07,340 wanted to state that for the record as 2082 01:48:07,340 --> 01:48:08,510 well because if that's the direction 2083 01:48:08,510 --> 01:48:09,800 they're heading and they proceed with 2084 01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:12,710 this annexation that's that's something 2085 01:48:12,710 --> 01:48:13,730 that you know darling has been there a 2086 01:48:13,730 --> 01:48:15,110 long time they've been a great neighbor 2087 01:48:15,110 --> 01:48:16,340 from what I've heard I've been 2088 01:48:16,340 --> 01:48:19,310 investigated and they've they've really 2089 01:48:19,310 --> 01:48:20,660 been a good part of the community for 2090 01:48:20,660 --> 01:48:22,610 many decades or their predecessor has 2091 01:48:22,610 --> 01:48:25,429 and so what I've just asked is a 30 day 2092 01:48:25,429 --> 01:48:27,230 layover how allow us to sit down and 2093 01:48:27,230 --> 01:48:28,640 talk about it see if there's a 2094 01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:31,010 resolution that would allow the city to 2095 01:48:31,010 --> 01:48:33,460 do what we it wants to do and preserve 2096 01:48:33,460 --> 01:48:36,469 what darling would like to do I would 2097 01:48:36,469 --> 01:48:38,870 like to preserve in its interest and 2098 01:48:38,870 --> 01:48:40,760 then save people a lot of trouble so 2099 01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:42,350 that that either proposal and I would be 2100 01:48:42,350 --> 01:48:47,330 happy to answer

be urban or suburban in nature 2117 01:49:40,310 --> 01:49:42,380 and contiguous so we've heard those 2118 01:49:42,380 --> 01:49:44,480 arguments and we believe they're Bella 2119 01:49:44,480 --> 01:49:47,870 in this case as well the Planning 2120 01:49:47,870 --> 01:49:49,490 Commission in this case after a public 2121 01:49:49,490 --> 01:49:51,440 hearing decided that this was 2122 01:49:51,440 --> 01:49:53,450 agricultural land it was subject to 2123 01:49:53,450 --> 01:49:55,550 green belt and recommended against the 2124 01:49:55,550 --> 01:49:57,740 annexation and they did so for a very 2125 01:49:57,740 --> 01:50:00,520 good reason taken away the green belt 2126 01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:04,910 greatly affects the ability to farm in a 2127 01:50:04,910 --> 01:50:09,100 profitable matter when you have to pay 2128 01:50:09,100 --> 01:50:12,920 the additional tax from the valuation 2129 01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:15,200 that you lose when you go into the city 2130 01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:16,430 and you lose the green belt 2131 01:50:16,430 --> 01:50:18,470 this property is valued about five 2132 01:50:18,470 --> 01:50:19,970 thousand dollars an acre right now with 2133 01:50:19,970 --> 01:50:22,730 Ag it would probably go up to the market 2134 01:50:22,730 --> 01:50:24,170 value with maybe twenty twenty-five 2135 01:50:24,170 --> 01:50:25,670 thirty thousand whatever the market 2136 01:50:25,670 --> 01:50:27,740 value is at this point so there'll be a 2137 01:50:27,740 --> 01:50:31,160 tremendous increase secondly you know we 2138 01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:33,410 talked about development Frank Ricci is 2139 01:50:33,410 --> 01:50:35,000 a developer it's one of the larger 2140 01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:36,680 developers over the period of time mr. 2141 01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:39,140 Eicke knows this in the Omaha area Frank 2142 01:50:39,140 --> 01:50:41,630 owns this property once the property 2143 01:50:41,630 --> 01:50:43,190 matures he'll look at developing the 2144 01:50:43,190 --> 01:50:45,770 property to the south when you develop 2145 01:50:45,770 --> 01:50:47,090 the property you like to at least have 2146 01:50:47,090 --> 01:50:48,590 the option of looking at a sanitary 2147 01:50:48,590 --> 01:50:50,390 Improvement District if you're in the 2148 01:50:50,390 --> 01:50:53,360 city you cannot have an S ID you take 2149 01:50:53,360 --> 01:50:55,610 away one of the developers tools so if 2150 01:50:55,610 --> 01:50:57,710 the city is looking at development they 2151 01:50:57,710 --> 01:51:00,620 need to look at how developers look at 2152 01:51:00,620 --> 01:51:02,450 the property and how developers develop 2153 01:51:02,450 --> 01:51:04,400 and one of the tools developers want to 2154 01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,560 look at is using a sanitary and 2155 01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:08,659 Improvement District now they also 2156 01:51:08,659 --> 01:51:10,280 to cooperate with the city if the city 2157 01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:11,840 wants to come in and put in improvements 2158 01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:14,060 they'll certainly look at that at that 2159 01:51:14,060 --> 01:51:16,940 time and at that time if that's the most 2160 01:51:16,940 --> 01:51:18,320 feasible for both the city and the 2161 01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:21,290 developer the parcel can be annexed at 2162 01:51:21,290 --> 01:51:23,960 that time so what we're asking is number 2163 01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:27,050 one is not to annex this parcel because 2164 01:51:27,050 --> 01:51:29,989 right now it's agricultural it's not 2165 01:51:29,989 --> 01:51:32,690 contiguous number one number two we're 2166 01:51:32,690 --> 01:51:34,760 going to lose the Greenbelt property and 2167 01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:36,590 number three it'll make it more 2168 01:51:36,590 --> 01:51:38,929 difficult for mr. crece to develop this 2169 01:51:38,929 --> 01:51:41,000 once this area matures right now the 2170 01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,070 area it's not really mature for 2171 01:51:43,070 --> 01:51:44,600 development Frank would like to go ahead 2172 01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:46,699 and do something it's just not there 2173 01:51:46,699 --> 01:51:48,710 quite yet but it will be there in the 2174 01:51:48,710 --> 01:51:50,960 future value eventually we'll move in 2175 01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:54,350 this direction annexations evaluable - 2176 01:51:54,350 --> 01:51:58,639 over the city and it's that a tool that 2177 01:51:58,639 --> 01:52:00,830 the city needs to use in a responsible 2178 01:52:00,830 --> 01:52:03,949 fashion I represented Blackhawk it came 2179 01:52:03,949 --> 01:52:05,600 through the City Council here two months 2180 01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:05,810 ago 2181 01:52:05,810 --> 01:52:08,090 I commend the city greatly for working 2182 01:52:08,090 --> 01:52:09,469 with us on that that's a great 2183 01:52:09,469 --> 01:52:12,110 annexation good for the city and good 2184 01:52:12,110 --> 01:52:14,630 for the residents of Blackhawk this 2185 01:52:14,630 --> 01:52:16,820 annexation this property is premature 2186 01:52:16,820 --> 01:52:19,520 and what we're asking you to do is not 2187 01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:21,260 annex this property at this time and 2188 01:52:21,260 --> 01:52:23,659 work with us if you have any questions 2189 01:52:23,659 --> 01:52:26,770 all the way happy to answer those 2190 01:52:26,770 --> 01:52:30,290 questions for mr. lang yup Councilwoman 2191 01:52:30,290 --> 01:52:35,659 was mr. lang I also talked with mr. 2192 01:52:35,659 --> 01:52:38,960 Krejci about a opportunity on this land 2193 01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:41,030 for residential and and my understanding 2194 01:52:41,030 --> 01:52:44,179 is his opinion this land is not set up 2195 01:52:44,179 --> 01:52:46,100 for residential it would be set up for 2196 01:52:46,100 --> 01:52:51,170 industrial that type of thing so part of 2197 01:52:51,170 --> 01:52:54,260 that going into an SI D would become a 2198 01:52:54,260 --> 01:52:56,300 mute point if this thing is set up for 2199 01:52:56,300 --> 01:52:58,550 industrial am I correct on that no 2200 01:52:58,550 --> 01:53:01,610 that's not correct we use constantly 2201 01:53:01,610 --> 01:53:03,290 mulch we use SIDS for all different 2202 01:53:03,290 --> 01:53:08,030 types of properties syntek Park SAT 172 2203 01:53:08,030 --> 01:53:10,670 SRP that's an SSID has the Budweiser 2204 01:53:10,670 --> 01:53:13,460 plant there the riser facility so we use 2205 01:53:13,460 --> 01:53:16,760 SIDS for residential commercial and 2206 01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:18,380 industrial okay and mixed-use 2207 01:53:18,380 --> 01:53:20,389 developments as well and once again 2208 01:53:20,389 --> 01:53:22,070 there's all you know we don't have a lot 2209 01:53:22,070 --> 01:53:22,639 of development 2210 01:53:22,639 --> 01:53:25,309 tools yes IDs one of our main tools and 2211 01:53:25,309 --> 01:53:27,139 it works very well especially when you 2212 01:53:27,139 --> 01:53:28,579 have a developer like mr. Creech you've 2213 01:53:28,579 --> 01:53:30,469 done a lot of them and I under 2214 01:53:30,469 --> 01:53:32,269 understand that but how do cities that 2215 01:53:32,269 --> 01:53:35,449 don't have SIDS develop how do they do 2216 01:53:35,449 --> 01:53:37,399 the economic development without SIDS 2217 01:53:37,399 --> 01:53:39,679 because I from what I understand some of 2218 01:53:39,679 --> 01:53:44,179 them it's pretty well in our area SIDS 2219 01:53:44,179 --> 01:53:46,639 yes but as you know there's a lot of 2220 01:53:46,639 --> 01:53:49,519 cities and towns outside of the Omaha 2221 01:53:49,519 --> 01:53:52,010 Bellevue area that developed that don't 2222 01:53:52,010 --> 01:53:53,149 have SIDS 2223 01:53:53,149 --> 01:53:56,349 I think those cities that don't have a 2224 01:53:56,349 --> 01:53:59,329 development tool like an SSID do not 2225 01:53:59,329 --> 01:54:01,459 develop very well if you look at the 2226 01:54:01,459 --> 01:54:03,949 Omaha metropolitan area and the 2227 01:54:03,949 --> 01:54:07,789 subdivisions we have everything west of 2228 01:54:07,789 --> 01:54:11,320 72nd Street a lot of areas in Bellevue 2229 01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:13,669 Blackhawk which is beautiful subdivision 2230 01:54:13,669 --> 01:54:17,030 a real asset to the city though it's all 2231 01:54:17,030 --> 01:54:20,869 been SIDS if you look at a city and give 2232 01:54:20,869 --> 01:54:21,530 you an example 2233 01:54:21,530 --> 01:54:24,649 SATs pretty much are used in Douglas and 2234 01:54:24,649 --> 01:54:27,110 Sarpy County because we're the only area 2235 01:54:27,110 --> 01:54:29,449 in the city that has enough rapid growth 2236 01:54:29,449 --> 01:54:32,809 to support an SSID for DES idea to be 2237 01:54:32,809 --> 01:54:34,760 successful has to have a reasonable 2238 01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:36,919 amount of growth during a reasonable 2239 01:54:36,919 --> 01:54:39,289 time otherwise it just can't support 2240 01:54:39,289 --> 01:54:42,619 itself a good example I think of a city 2241 01:54:42,619 --> 01:54:45,050 that Dustin used SIDS is the city of 2242 01:54:45,050 --> 01:54:47,419 Lincoln Nebraska if you compare the city 2243 01:54:47,419 --> 01:54:49,249 of Lincoln Nebraska to the type of 2244 01:54:49,249 --> 01:54:51,530 subdivisions and improvements street 2245 01:54:51,530 --> 01:54:55,070 improvements that we have in this 2246 01:54:55,070 --> 01:54:57,679 particular metropolitan area there is no 2247 01:54:57,679 --> 01:54:59,899 comparison and one of the reasons we're 2248 01:54:59,899 --> 01:55:02,409 so successful here is because we use 2249 01:55:02,409 --> 01:55:06,139 SIDS in a responsible manner you have 2250 01:55:06,139 --> 01:55:07,820 subdivision agreements that control the 2251 01:55:07,820 --> 01:55:10,639 s ID control the spending but I think if 2252 01:55:10,639 --> 01:55:13,099 you can if you really if you really look 2253 01:55:13,099 --> 01:55:15,139 at the two cities the transportation 2254 01:55:15,139 --> 01:55:18,050 systems the subdivisions the type of 2255 01:55:18,050 --> 01:55:20,090 public improvements we put in with SIDS 2256 01:55:20,090 --> 01:55:22,789 which are upgraded improvements upgraded 2257 01:55:22,789 --> 01:55:26,360 sewers interceptor sewers it's a great 2258 01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:29,510 tool and it's one that is that we really 2259 01:55:29,510 --> 01:55:31,669 benefited here now to a large extent 2260 01:55:31,669 --> 01:55:34,070 Omaha area the metropolitan area here 2261 01:55:34,070 --> 01:55:38,230 with Bellevue probably is probably the only areas in the state of Nebraska 2262 01:55:38,230 --> 01:55:41,780 that SIDS can function properly because 2263 01:55:41,780 --> 01:55:44,630 we're the only area that has has growth 2264 01:55:44,630 --> 01:55:47,840 or enough growth to support the SAT so 2265 01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:50,750 it's a good tool if used in a 2266 01:55:50,750 --> 01:55:53,179 responsible way and we do it through 2267 01:55:53,179 --> 01:55:54,860 subdivision agreements with the city as 2268 01:55:54,860 --> 01:55:59,420 you know and mister Krejci he's a 2269 01:55:59,420 --> 01:56:01,840 developer and once this property matures 2270 01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:04,159 he would like to go forward with it but 2271 01:56:04,159 --> 01:56:06,170 it probably would be not a residential 2272 01:56:06,170 --> 01:56:08,510 subdivision because its location it 2273 01:56:08,510 --> 01:56:10,489 probably more of a light industrial 2274 01:56:10,489 --> 01:56:12,620 commercial area okay I think that's 2275 01:56:12,620 --> 01:56:16,080 correct there thank you 2276 01:56:16,090 --> 01:56:19,870 and you know you can always D an ax 2277 01:56:19,870 --> 01:56:25,070 we don't come into a souk and so I mean 2278 01:56:25,070 --> 01:56:31,320 really it comes it is a financial hit 2279 01:56:31,330 --> 01:56:35,179 but looking at Bellevue's future growth 2280 01:56:35,179 --> 01:56:38,949 and trying to set up the remainings 2281 01:56:38,949 --> 01:56:41,600 little bit of an amount of remaining 2282 01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:47,030 areas we have to grow into how would you 2283 01:56:47,030 --> 01:56:49,100 represent if you were representing us 2284 01:56:49,100 --> 01:56:54,380 getting water and sewer bondable a 2285 01:56:54,380 --> 01:56:58,040 bondable project down to 34 and the 2286 01:56:58,040 --> 01:56:59,659 interchange and getting that to develop 2287 01:56:59,659 --> 01:57:03,920 correctly you can't do it without being 2288 01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:06,010 in the city correct no you can use it 2289 01:57:06,010 --> 01:57:09,080 you can be in the city and but the 2290 01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:10,460 problem with being in the city then the 2291 01:57:10,460 --> 01:57:14,030 city's gotta extend the water and sewer 2292 01:57:14,030 --> 01:57:15,889 lines and they have to pay for the water 2293 01:57:15,889 --> 01:57:20,389 and sewer lines with the s ID system you 2294 01:57:20,389 --> 01:57:21,889 could do interlocal agreements where the 2295 01:57:21,889 --> 01:57:24,290 S ID participates in the payment of 2296 01:57:24,290 --> 01:57:26,480 extending those lines an example is this 2297 01:57:26,480 --> 01:57:28,909 is right here in the city of Omaha our 2298 01:57:28,909 --> 01:57:31,190 interceptor sewer systems when the City 2299 01:57:31,190 --> 01:57:33,020 of Omaha we have an interceptor sewer 2300 01:57:33,020 --> 01:57:34,880 system as you know where when you play a 2301 01:57:34,880 --> 01:57:37,010 building fee part of that fee goes into 2302 01:57:37,010 --> 01:57:39,350 the interceptor sewers so we can extend 2303 01:57:39,350 --> 01:57:41,810 our sewers under the Interceptor sewer 2304 01:57:41,810 --> 01:57:45,320 program we just the s ID a lot of times 2305 01:57:45,320 --> 01:57:47,900 goes ahead and extends and pays for the 2306 01:57:47,900 --> 01:57:50,179 extension of the Interceptor sewer 2307 01:57:50,179 --> 01:57:51,889 and then the Interceptor sewer fund 2308 01:57:51,889 --> 01:57:55,039 reimburse the si D that way the City of 2309 01:57:55,039 --> 01:57:57,079 Omaha or the other cities don't use 2310 01:57:57,079 --> 01:58:00,079 their bonding capacity to support these 2311 01:58:00,079 --> 01:58:03,199 new subdivisions you know and and the 2312 01:58:03,199 --> 01:58:05,719 expense of extending these sewers that's 2313 01:58:05,719 --> 01:58:07,789 the beauty of an S ad the city can use 2314 01:58:07,789 --> 01:58:09,709 them but they're not using their bond 2315 01:58:09,709 --> 01:58:12,170 authority to use them the S ad has their 2316 01:58:12,170 --> 01:58:14,269 own bonding authority that they can 2317 01:58:14,269 --> 01:58:17,090 enter into an interlocal agreement with 2318 01:58:17,090 --> 01:58:19,219 the city and extend those sewers in a 2319 01:58:19,219 --> 01:58:22,070 partnership fashion so there's a lot of 2320 01:58:22,070 --> 01:58:25,459 benefits that as you know that and a

2350 01:59:30,860 --> 01:59:32,329 scheme for that particular property 2351 01:59:32,329 --> 01:59:38,989 which is not that far away thank you we do appreciate mr. krei 2352 01:59:38,989 -->

--> 01:59:50,630 once again annexation is a positive 2359 01:59:50,630 --> 01:59:52,939 thing but thank you in this one we think 2360 01:59:52,939 --> 01:59:55,820 a little bit premature thank you thank 2361 01:59:55,820 --> 01:59:58,710 you 2362 01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:02,870 anyone else for area 9 I know I'm taking 2363 02:00:02,870 --> 02:00:04,370 up your time 2364 02:00:04,370 --> 02:00:07,580 Michael wills 1321 Harrison here in 2365 02:00:07,580 --> 02:00:15,250 Bellevue I want you to think back at 370 2366 02:00:15,250 --> 02:00:20,000 the southeast corner of 370 and 72nd 2367 02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:23,600 Street a few years ago and I'm talking 2368 02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:27,140 off the top of my head I don't know but 2369 02:00:27,140 --> 02:00:31,490 I remember that it got annexed it was a 2370 02:00:31,490 --> 02:00:32,240 green belt 2371 02:00:32,240 --> 02:00:35,540 I think they kept farming it and every 2372 02:00:35,540 --> 02:00:39,740 year the county said well you're not a green belt anymore you're 2373 02:00:39,740 --> 02:00:46,130 you so you're going to have to get taxed 2374 02:00:46,130 --> 02:00:48,830 at a higher rate and they fought that 2375 02:00:48,830 --> 02:00:51,890 for three or five years and they finally 2376 02:00:51,890 --> 02:00:54,640 gave up and there's a gas station there 2377 02:00:54,640 --> 02:00:58,430 you know donut shop a couple of doctors 2378 02:00:58,430 --> 02:01:00,350 offices in that area and the rest of it 2379 02:01:00,350 --> 02:01:04,250 looks trashy what I'm afraid of is when 2380 02:01:04,250 --> 02:01:06,830 you go ahead and annex all these 2381 02:01:06,830 --> 02:01:08,390 Greenbelt that these people have been 2382 02:01:08,390 --> 02:01:10,670 talking about the county's going to do 2383 02:01:10,670 --> 02:01:12,950 the same thing they're going to tax 2384 02:01:12,950 --> 02:01:15,590 these people to a point where if I have 2385 02:01:15,590 --> 02:01:19,990 a 75 acre farm I'm gonna have to sell it 2386 02:01:19,990 --> 02:01:23,930 to Krispy Kreme or somebody because I 2387 02:01:23,930 --> 02:01:25,010 can't afford it 2388 02:01:25,010 --> 02:01:28,310 I don't know again I'm just talking off 2389 02:01:28,310 --> 02:01:31,490 the top of my head and it's something 2390 02:01:31,490 --> 02:01:34,580 that I think the council should look at 2391 02:01:34,580 --> 02:01:37,070 before they jump off into the deep end 2392 02:01:37,070 --> 02:01:39,080 thank you thank you 2393 02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:45,200 anyone else wishing to speak again Matt 2394 02:01:45,200 -->

deemed as urban or 2398 02:01:55,460 --> 02:01:57,949 suburban and character on annexation 2399 02:01:57,949 --> 02:02:00,110 Authority Nebraska Revised Statutes 16 2400 02:02:00,110 --> 02:02:10,429 132 states such granite power shall not 2401 02:02:10,429 --> 02:02:13,639 be construed or as conferring power upon 2402 02:02:13,639 --> 02:02:15,380 the mayor and city council to extend the 2403 02:02:15,380 --> 02:02:17,510 limits of a city over any agricultural 2404 02:02:17,510 --> 02:02:19,599 lands which are rural in character 2405 02:02:19,599 --> 02:02:22,520 reviewing the rest spring court opinions 2406 02:02:22,520 --> 02:02:23,690 it is clear that the courts have shown 2407 02:02:23,690 --> 02:02:25,570 great deference to the annexing cities 2408 02:02:25,570 --> 02:02:27,380 classification of the character of the 2409 02:02:27,380 --> 02:02:29,510 land being annexed however there are 2410 02:02:29,510 --> 02:02:31,309 typically three tests used by the court 2411 02:02:31,309 --> 02:02:32,929 to confirm the classification as being 2412 02:02:32,929 --> 02:02:35,900 proper first is the land being used for 2413 02:02:35,900 --> 02:02:38,449 agricultural purposes an affirmative 2414 02:02:38,449 --> 02:02:40,190 answer to this question is typically not 2415 02:02:40,190 --> 02:02:41,960 sufficient to deemed the land as rural 2416 02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:44,599 and character second is the land 2417 02:02:44,599 --> 02:02:46,159 sufficiently covered in dwellings that 2418 02:02:46,159 --> 02:02:48,460 it has lost its rural character and 2419 02:02:48,460 --> 02:02:53,270 finally hath the land but planted excuse me if the land is 2420 02:02:53,270 --> 02:02:55,130 unplanted and passes the first two tests 2421 02:02:55,130 --> 02:02:56,659 and the courts have concluded that land 2422 02:02:56,659 --> 02:02:58,760 is rural in character and the city does 2423 02:02:58,760 --> 02:03:00,289 not have authority to extend its 2424 02:03:00,289 --> 02:03:02,809 boundary and this is from Wagner versus 2425 02:03:02,809 --> 02:03:05,869 City of Omaha all the Greenbelt louts 2426 02:03:05,869 --> 02:03:07,880 Lots in this package pass through three 2427 02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:09,619 tests and should not be included in the 2428 02:03:09,619 --> 02:03:17,160 annex package thank you thank you 2429 02:03:17,170 --> 02:03:19,809 any comments

02:06:07,440 aware and that the mayor has provided an 2487 02:06:07,440 --> 02:06:09,780 administrator to address these things 2488 02:06:09,780 --> 02:06:14,520 over at least a month in probably two

02:09:32,600 had a gentleman come to my property and 2550 02:09:32,600 --> 02:09:35,210 told me I had noxious weeds and he 2551 02:09:35,210 --> 02:09:38,600 wanted a matter there code enforcement 2552 02:09:38,600 --> 02:09:42,470 and I said they're not noxious he said 2553 02:09:42,470 --> 02:09:47,900 I'm the boss basically well I went to 2554 02:09:47,900 --> 02:09:54,740 the city to the secretary for code 2555 02:09:54,740 --> 02:09:58,970 enforcement and I explained that though 2556 02:09:58,970 --> 02:10:01,430 what was being called noxious weeds were 2557 02:10:01,430 --> 02:10:05,420 actually ornamental grass she understood 2558 02:10:05,420 --> 02:10:10,040 that and what I'm trying to get to is 17 2559 02:10:10,040 --> 02:10:13,100 years later there is a now a system 2560 02:10:13,100 --> 02:10:17,470 going to be in place for both cars and 2561 02:10:17,470 --> 02:10:22,340 noxious weeds that somebody that and 2562 02:10:22,340 --> 02:10:24,500 please excuse the

02:10:41,400 --> 02:10:44,450 to talk for both of them but I've called 2569 02:10:44,450 --> 02:10:47,580 code enforcement a number of times on a 2570 02:10:47,580 --> 02:10:54,420 business on railroad they go down they 2571 02:10:54,420 --> 02:10:56,730 move the cars I mean the place has just 2572 02:10:56,730 --> 02:10:59,280 got junk cars all over the place they 2573 02:10:59,280 --> 02:11:02,340 say well we're an electrical company but 2574 02:11:02,340 --> 02:11:06,360 the they're driving over the property 2575 02:11:06,360 --> 02:11:07,170 next door 2576 02:11:07,170 -->

2579 02:11:16,650 --> 02:11:18,810 or two and then the cars are right back 2580 02:11:18,810 --> 02:11:24,660 there again and they need to have some 2581 02:11:24,660 --> 02:11:28,890 follow-up drive

2656 02:15:43,780 --> 02:15:46,510 budget so we're just granting ordering 2657 02:15:46,510 --> 02:15:49,329 authority at this point so they're gonna 2658 02:15:49,329 --> 02:15:51,669 place the order

2664 02:16:08,829 --> 02:16:10,869 we get these ordered we never pay form 2665 02:16:10,869 --> 02:16:13,719 until after we have my position but what 2666 02:16:13,719 --> 02:16:15,249 it takes is about seven months to get 2667 02:16:15,249 --> 02:16:17,379 the chassis built with the lead time and 2668 02:16:17,379 --> 02:16:21,959 another to two months to put all the 2669 02:16:21,959 --> 02:16:25,479 features on it you know that flashers 2670 02:16:25,479 --> 02:16:31,749 and tow hook or for the blade the plows 2671 02:16:31,749 --> 02:16:33,699 you know all that kind of stuff and so 2672 02:16:33,699 --> 02:16:34,840 it's going to be probably February 2673 02:16:34,840 --> 02:16:36,909 before you even see so it will have to 2674 02:16:36,909 --> 02:16:39,420 be a next year's budget 2675 02:16:39,420 --> 02:16:42,729 councilman Stenson so they don't require 2676 02:16:42,729 --> 02:16:45,279 any money to be put down now to hold 2677 02:16:45,279 --> 02:16:49,650 these or anything no 2678 02:16:49,660 --> 02:16:51,550 so is it just a matter of terminology 2679 02:16:51,550 --> 02:16:53,889 that I'm trying to understand that we're 2680 02:16:53,889 --> 02:16:56,260

--> 02:17:04,000 next year's budget is that what I'm 2684 02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:06,309 understanding yeah its terminology where 2685 02:17:06,309 --> 02:17:08,380 we're not violating our budget by 2686 02:17:08,380 --> 02:17:10,090 spending money we don't have right now 2687 02:17:10,090 --> 02:17:12,790 okay the purchase would violate the 2688 02:17:12,790 --> 02:17:14,830 budget so we're granting ordering 2689 02:17:14,830 --> 02:17:17,260 authority with an understanding that it 2690 02:17:17,260 --> 02:17:19,059 goes into next year's budget and will be 2691 02:17:19,059 -->

amended declaration for our emergency to 2716 02:19:04,091 --> 02:19:07,520 so as to make sure that if there's any 2717 02:19:07,520 --> 02:19:09,620 further damage or issues that come with 2718 02:19:09,620 --> 02:19:10,910 it that when you have the ability to 2719 02:19:10,910 --> 02:19:13,910 mitigate that also in addition to what's 2720 02:19:13,910 --> 02:19:15,890 happened in the past so we've we've been 2721 02:19:15,890 --> 02:19:18,350 amended or emergency action we met last 2722 02:19:18,350 --> 02:19:20,751 week we're on a guarded I just to watch 2723 02:19:20,751 --> 02:19:22,970 what happens right now our biggest 2724 02:19:22,970 --> 02:19:24,200 concern is what's going on in the 2725 02:19:24,200 --> 02:19:24,950 Missouri River 2726 02:19:24,950 --> 02:19:28,040 I think last Thursday it was up I think 2727 02:19:28,040 --> 02:19:29,961 was three feet and it's gonna stay at 2728 02:19:29,961 --> 02:19:32,930 that with the release being at the 2729 02:19:32,930 --> 02:19:36,080 75,000 cubic feet per second we're 2730 02:19:36,080 --> 02:19:38,360 pretty close to where the levees limit 2731 02:19:38,360 --> 02:19:40,461 is here as far as if additional water 2732 02:19:40,461 --> 02:19:42,620 comes out or rain rain is actually our 2733 02:19:42,620 --> 02:19:43,940 biggest concern right now it's not our 2734 02:19:43,940 --> 02:19:47,360 friend so we're unguarded I to watch 2735 02:19:47,360 --> 02:19:49,190 what happens along the Missouri you've 2736 02:19:49,190 --> 02:19:51,200 seen Hayworth Hayworth is back at full 2737 02:19:51,200 --> 02:19:53,511 tilt that does not look like that's 2738 02:19:53,511 --> 02:19:56,301 going to go down all summer so it's 2739 02:19:56,301 --> 02:19:58,580 let's by me we're watching what happens 2740 02:19:58,580 --> 02:19:59,690 our biggest concern is if it comes 2741 02:19:59,690 --> 02:20:01,311 around the backside of 370 which is 2742 02:20:01,311 --> 02:20:02,751 right now it doesn't look like it when I 2743 02:20:02,751 --> 02:20:07,490 say 372 bridge going down Hayworth that 2744 02:20:07,490 --> 02:20:09,261 would be a large concern for us as if it 2745 02:20:09,261 --> 02:20:10,851 starts to head down towards the 2746 02:20:10,851 --> 02:20:12,860 industrial area again like it did in the 2747 02:20:12,860 --> 02:20:16,761 March flood but it's the levees are our 2748 02:20:16,761 --> 02:20:18,261 largest concern we also have an issue 2749 02:20:18,261 --> 02:20:21,711 with Paradise Lakes we're pumping out of 2750 02:20:21,711 --> 02:20:25,580 the Paradise lakes into the brown river were pumping into the 2751 02:20:25,580 --> 02:20:27,080 Missouri but the brown and the Missouri 2752 02:20:27,080 --> 02:20:29,660 are at the same level so we don't have 2753 02:20:29,660 --> 02:20:32,870 our gates opened this is just a circular 2754 02:20:32,870 --> 02:20:35,120 we have a lot of groundwater that as 2755 02:20:35,120 --> 02:20:37,160 we're pumping the groundwater is raising 2756 02:20:37,160 --> 02:20:40,370 so it's fighting a slow battle here and 2757 02:20:40,370 --> 02:20:42,381 rain is the only thing that's really 2758 02:20:42,381 --> 02:20:45,200 going to put us at the worst risk right 2759 02:20:45,200 --> 02:20:48,110 now for that situation but because it's 2760 02:20:48,110 --> 02:20:50,150 at the bottom of the drain but we are 2761 02:20:50,150 --> 02:20:51,381 watching the Missouri River with a 2762 02:20:51,381 --> 02:20:53,990 guarded eye what they're telling us is 2763 02:20:53,990 --> 02:20:58,490 it's not going to be a 2011's point yet 2764 02:20:58,490 --> 02:21:00,561 but there's a lot of rainfall to the 2765 02:21:00,561 --> 02:21:02,381 north there's a lot of snowmelt that 2766 02:21:02,381 --> 02:21:04,431 that's why they're discharging at the 2767 02:21:04,431 --> 02:21:06,381 rate that they are now and I think we're 2768 02:21:06,381 --> 02:21:08,030 going to stay at this discharge rate and 2769 02:21:08,030 --> 02:21:10,221 from now till Jeff correct me if I'm 2770 02:21:10,221 --> 02:21:11,480 wrong but we're here in September or 2771 02:21:11,480 --> 02:21:12,739 October 2772 02:21:12,739 --> 02:21:14,840 this is going to going to late fall 2773 02:21:14,840 --> 02:21:20,280 before they start start so decreasing it 2774 02:21:20,290 --> 02:21:23,870 so I just it's open for suggestions now 2775 02:21:23,870 --> 02:21:25,580 somebody asked the other day is there a 2776 02:21:25,580 --> 02:21:27,260 higher order that can make decision side 2777 02:21:27,260 --> 02:21:28,880 can't we drill a hole and just fill the 2778 02:21:28,880 --> 02:21:31,010 aquifer or know who to reach out to here 2779 02:21:31,010 --> 02:21:39,719 so thanks yeah 2780 02:21:39,729 --> 02:21:44,550
