There are no oral communications or unfinished business, so we're gonna go directly to public hearing number one, which pertains to the acceptance of approximately 70 acres donated to the city of Carney by the Carney Area Community Foundation.

Presentation by Mike Ty.

Mayor, members of council, Michael Ty, City Attorney, 1419 Central Avenue.

As council is aware, any time the city accepts an interest in property, City Council has to vote to accept that interest.

And as the mayor's indicated, the city has been contacted by the Kearney Area Community Foundation, and we'll be acquiring a parcel that they want to donate to the city of Kearney.

And I think we have a map so that you can see where it's located.

There's an indication of where the approximately 72 acres is located.

So the community foundation with donor support has acquired that parcel and would like to donate it to the city, so there's no cost to the city.

What comes with the parcel is the assignment of a gravel extraction lease.

As you can see, there's a sand pit there that's uh a current gravel extraction operation.

Um that lease is uh as as many of them are based on royalties that are paid to the landlord based on the the amount of material that's taken from the site, um and so that will be transferred to the city.

There's a minimum of a fifteen thousand dollars in rental to be paid from that site, but it's again based on the per cubic yard of material that's that's taken off there, and that will now become an income stream to the city of Kearney.

And how long is the lease set to last?

The lease goes until March of 2028.

And we don't read have any specific plans whether we continue that lease or end the lease, right?

We haven't had we're not there, we haven't even talked about that yet.

No, I've I've had some conversations with legal counsel for the uh the tent, and uh they've they've indicated they'd like to talk about it, but there's been no determination about extending that lease or anything at this time, and and um really no plans that I'm aware of for what would happen with this this property that would be for future discussions.

Okay, it's a neat part of the trail, so that's nice.

Okay.

Any uh questions from counsel for Mr.

Ty.

Okay.

Uh this is a public hearing.

Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to address public hearing one?

Okay.

Uh any last call for questions.

Okay, hearing none.

I need a motion.

I move to close public hearing one and move for the adoption of resolution number 2025-105, accepting the donation of approximately 70 acres from the Kearney Area Community Foundation.

Second.

Roll call, please.

Public hearing two pertains to the adoption of the one and six-year street plan.

Presentation by Luke Dutcher.

Good evening.

Luke Dutcher, City Engineer.

Um, tonight we're gonna go through the oh, I guess what we're presenting to you is the one and six year street plan.

This is a it's a really a planning document that uh we prepare every year.

Um and it shows project street projects that we intend to do in the next one year or in year 2026, and then in years two through six, um, which would be the subsequent five years after that.

Um this is a kind of just a way to show to show the state how we're spending highway allocation dollars, uh, how we're continuing to improve the roadway system uh within our community.

So a lot of the projects that you're gonna see on this plan are gonna be very familiar.

They're gonna be projects you've seen for several years prior to this, and uh projects that they kind of mimic what you've seen in the CIP leading up till to now.

So we'll start with the one-year plan.

Um I got a table here that goes through all the projects we have on the one-year plan.

One thing I'd point out uh in the one column that says type, there are there's a mix of city funded projects and then some of the developer funded projects.
