The Holbrook Village Board
met for their regular monthly
meeting on Monday, April 4,
2016 in the Holbrook Village
office. Those in attendance
included trustees Julie Epley,
Kim Helms, Dale Long along
with the village clerk Tiffany
Hock and the village superintendent, Ron Brown. Visitors
included CJ Poltack from West
Central Development, Virginia Valenzuela from Furnas/
Harlan Partnership, Kelsey
Runion, Wes Hock, and Matt
Schulz. Trustees Tim DeVries
and Laurie Magnus-Warner
were absent.
Chairman of the board,
Dale Long, opened the 7:30
p.m. meeting and noted that
the Open Meetings Policy Act
was posted in the room. The
minutes from the March 14,
2016 were approved as the
first order of business.
The claims in the total
amount of $29,428.00 were
reviewed, discussed and approved for payment.
Appearing before the board
was CJ Poltack of West

Pay request number one for
Pete Hamel was approved
and signed in the amount of
$7,017.20. Contracts for
homeowner number three were
signed by the village chairman and village clerk. The
board approved the Truth and
Lending paperwork and the
credit line promissory note for
homeowner number three.
Furnas County Freight Haulers are looking to move their
offices across the street. They
have met with the Holbrook
Planning Commission asking
to have this property zoned
commercial. No action has
been taken at this time as this
property will be posted for 30
days and then there will be
another meeting with the Planning Commission.
The board discussed at
length several buildings on
Center Avenue. The current
owner would like to gift them
to the Village of Holbrook. At
this time, only one quote on
the cost of demolition has been
received and the board would
need to have three estimates.
Asbestos testing would have
to be done as well. In the
event there is asbestos in the
buildings, only those that are
certified in asbestos abatement can remove it. Disposal
of asbestos material is also an
added expense. The board
took no action.
Long informed the board
that Holbrook resident Gary
Metzger would be interested
in purchasing a few pieces of
playground equipment. The village clerk addressed
the issue of nuisance properties around Holbrook. Letters

The U.S. Census Bureau recently released new population
estimates for the time period
from July 2014 to July 2015,
and while roughly one third of
the counties in Nebraska saw
population growth and the state
as a whole is keeping up with
the national growth average,
Furnas County has once again
seen a decline in population.
Counties with the most
growth are also home to the
biggest cities in Nebraska:
Douglas, Sarpy, Lancaster,
Buffalo and Hall counties,
which house Omaha, Lincoln,
Kearney and Grand Island, respectively. This continues the
trend of urbanization within
Nebraska. Douglas County,
where most of Omaha resides,
is the largest county with approximately 550,064 residents,
an increase of 32,954 people
since the 2010 census. On the
flip side, Arthur County, in the
Sandhills just north of Lake
McConaughy, has a mere 456
estimated residents, down from
460 at the 2010 census. It is
estimated to be the fifth smallest county by population in the
United States.
Furnas County has an estimated 4,862 residents, which
is a slight decrease from the
2010 census when there were
4,959 residents. The county’s
population has been declining ever since 1900 with the
only uptick in 1930 when the
population grew by 4.1% from
11,657 in 1920 to 12,140.
Interestingly, in 1930 only
5,916 people lived in a town in
Furnas County, with over half
the population living in rural
areas. Now, more than 75% of
Furnas County residents live in
a town, further illustrating the
urban shift.
On the whole, Nebraska
is going through its biggest
period of growth since the
early 1990s, which is largely
credited to how well Nebraska
weathered the economic crisis
of 2008 and beyond. The state
surpassed West Virginia - one
of only two states, along with
Maine, to decline in population
since 2010 – to become the 37th
most populous state in Union.

From the Director’s Desk
Hughes Views
Virginia Valenzuela, Director Furnas-Harlan Partnership
This time of year is commonly associated with Spring Cleaning, and if you’re not
currently in the habit, then I suggest incorporating a sort of spring cleaning of your businesses and organizations.
Not only should we clean out the physical clutter and dirt from our stores, buildings and properties, but we should also use
this time to reevaluate business practices,
policies, and procedures that aren’t useful to our operations. We
all have more things on our to-do lists than we have hours in the
day to do them. Whether you’re a business owner, an organization
leader, a community leader, a farmer, or a stay at home mom, we
all have excess clutter in our schedules, and in our daily operations that are inhibiting us from performing at our optimum level.
By eliminating the clutter, we will not only free ourselves and our
organizations to refocus our efforts on our core missions, but we
will also become more efficient in performing our tasks.
If you’re a brick and mortar store owner, this would be a great
time to evaluate your inventory as well. If there are things that are
sitting on your shelves that haven’t moved for the last year, then
get rid of it. Your shelf space is valuable, and you only want to use
that precious space for things that will make you money; after all,
isn’t part of your mission as a business owner to provide goods
and services that your public wants?
In addition to getting rid of stagnant inventory, utilize this time
to connect with your customers, whether that be in face to face
conversations, through a survey, or comment box; find out what
your customers are leaving town to purchase. There may be new
items or services you never considered carrying or providing before, but if your customer is leaving town to acquire these things,
then there is an opportunity gap that needs to be filled on the local
level.
I believe that many of our small towns have a great foundation of businesses, but we can do better in our efficiency and our
service. One thing that is a great efficiency builder is competition.
When we’ve done the same old thing year after year and decade
after decade we tend to fall into a ‘business as usual’ mentality.
This is a dangerous mindset to be in because if you’re not consistently evaluating new items and services of opportunity, then
you’re leaving a big slice of the market wide open for somebody
else to take advantage of. That’s why big companies employ annual and quarterly market trend analysis. They want to keep on top
of their performance, the performance of their competitors, and
overall target market trends so as to be quick to identify an emerging opportunity and capitalize on it before their competitors. So
don’t look at new stores in our towns as threats, rather, use them
as a fundamental element that will push you and your organization
or business to perform even better. There’s nothing wrong with
competition, rather it draws us to be more creative, efficient and
engaged; so get rid of the ‘autopilot’ mode of business.
If your business or organization needs some help with jumpstarting your spring cleaning plan, then give me, Virginia, with the
Furnas-Harlan Partnership a call at 308-655-1032. I would love
to help your organization or business get more organized. We all
have deficiencies we need to work on, and there’s no shame in
asking for help; I better be hearing from some of you this week!

unteer Fire Department, spoke
to the board about the need
for new air packs for the city
truck. The current packs are
18 years old, and although still
good, are a different model from
what the department would like
to be using. Schulz has the opportunity to purchase two new
air packs at a savings of approximately 40% and asked if
the village would be interested
in purchasing one air pack and
the Holbrook Fire Department
would purchase another. Some
discussion was held about the
sale of the old air packs. It was
finally decided that more information would be needed before
proceeding.
Virginia Valenzuela, director
of the Furnas/Harlan Partnership told the board what she
has been doing. She will be

she learned at a recent Department of Economic Development meeting. The board decided to change
their next meeting from Monday, May 2, 2016 to Monday,

further business, the meeting
was adjourned. Arapahoe Public Mirror
The end is near, haste makes waste
Capitol View
By J.L. Schmidt
Statehouse Correspondent
The Nebraska Press
Association
As the 104th Legislature
wraps up its work with a hurried tax plan, it’s a good time
to remember that, “haste makes
waste.”
Somewhere in my newspaper archives (read that “box of
stuff in the basement”) I have a
72-point slug of type (that’s big)
from a Ludlow machine that
says etsaw sekam etsah. Every
editor, printer and reporter can
interpret that. It was a “gift” to
me from my first post-college
real boss who wanted me to
remember a mistake that I had
made. No words were necessary. Just that shiny chunk of
lead strategically placed on my
desk some 40-plus years ago.
In the rush – and I am still
NOT sure why – to get a tax
policy in front of Governor
‘My Number One Priority Is
Property Tax Relief’ Ricketts,
lawmakers went back to the
drawing board late in the session with another public hearing and a hurried proposal to
give owners of agricultural land
a larger property tax credit than
the rest of us. I am not sure if
that would pass muster in the
courts – should someone challenge it. I do know that at least
one farm group had suggested
it might seek to take the matter
to the voters.
In what could be a battle of
the think tanks, estimates on the
impact to the state’s piggy bank
in the out years have ranged
from a $100 million shortfall to
a whopping $240 million shortfall. Neither one is acceptable
to me -- and I would venture to
guess most people paying residential or commercial property
taxes – while they empathize
with the owners of ag land –
aren’t going to be crazy about
it either.
Following advancement of
the revised bill to the full Legislature, Ricketts said he was
pleased that the Revenue Committee invested significant time
and thought in collaborating
with his office to assemble a
property tax relief package. He
used his oft’ stated line that this
is a step towards bringing property tax relief to hardworking
Nebraska families. Significant time and thought.
One short session (60 days)
of the Legislature is hardly
enough. The debate should be
about forming a public-private
group including members of the
Legislature and the administration and the stakeholders and
directing that group to hammer out several alternatives in a
reasonable amount of time, say
maybe a year. Public hearings
should be held along the way.
This should not be done in
an election year. Term limits
has created a pool of senators
who can’t come back for four
years. What do they care about
the outcome? And for those
who are running for another
term, do you think they want
to make an important decision
about such a heavy issue right
now?
You’ve read it here before;
when it comes to taxes it’s a
simple matter of whose ox is
getting gored? Oh, and how
powerful and influential their
lobby is.
There hasn’t been significant
tax action in Nebraska since the
late Governor Norbert Tiemann
(1967-1971) threw caution and
a political future to the wind
and oversaw: creation of a state
sales-income tax system; state
aid to schools; the University
of Nebraska at Omaha; the state

Tiemann was not a favorite in
his own party after all that and
lost a second term bid to Democrat J. James Exon. But Tiemann knew what was right for
Nebraska at the time and stuck
to his guns to make it happen.
He’d be a good role model for
others to follow in the on-going
– should I say never-ending –
discussion about taxes.
Even the potential beneficiaries of the proposed tax break
aren’t satisfied. A spokesman
for the Center for Rural Affairs calls it token relief. The
Nebraska Farm Bureau and
Nebraska Farmers Union have
said they support the measure
but warned that it wouldn’t address the state’s heavy reliance
on ag-land tax support of public
schools and local government.
One Southeast Nebraska farmer
said simply, this isn’t enough.
The proposal would boost
property tax credits for farm and
ranch owners by about $30 million next year. But the OpenSky
Policy Institute says the owner
of a $1 million tract of farmland
would see a savings of about
$235. The Lincoln think tank
sees a $100 million dent in the
state’s next two-year budget.
Other estimates have warned of
a $240 million budget shortfall
over the next three years.
Omaha Sen. Heath Mello,
chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, says state spending on public schools — held
down in recent years because
of high agricultural land valuations — is expected to climb by
an average of five percent each
year during the next two-year
budget cycle. That could complicate the governor’s goal of
keeping the state’s overall budget growth lower each of those
years.
Former state Senator and
eight year Appropriations Committee member John Harms of
Scottsbluff says agriculture is
facing rough years ahead and
lawmakers could be tempted to
reach into the state’s Cash Reserve. He calls the pending legislation a dangerous decision to
make right now.
Former state Senator Bob
Wickersham of Harrison says
the Legislature is not done with
this issue.
Remember friends, haste
makes waste.
•Senator Dan Hughes, District 44
After
several
weeks, the legislature arrived this
past week on the
topic which many
have
worried
about and looked
forward to: property tax relief. Specifically, we
spent many hours debating LB
958 and LB 959, the bills introduced at the request of the Governor. Both bills passed the first
round of consideration, with
many amendments considered,
debated, rejected, and adopted
for each. LB 958 would increase agricultural property tax
credits. Among other things,
LB 959 deals with removing
an incentive for school districts
to actually raise property taxes.
We also did extensive work on
LB 1067, relating to the Learning Community in Omaha.
LB 958 was advanced to Select File after lengthy debate.
There will certainly be further
changes to the bill, but as of
the deadline for this column, it
would continue broad property
tax credits offered last year,
and would change the way that
agricultural property tax credits are calculated, bringing it
closer to the way that residential and commercial property
tax credits are calculated. LB
959 was placed on Select File
following hours of debate as
well, and this was also done
on the condition that further
negotiation would occur on the
bill before it is debated for consideration for Final Reading. It
also caps a special levy which
school districts can use to address health, safety, and accessibility problems. Additionally,
LB 959 would remove a penalty for school districts which
set their levies below 95 cents.
This would give those districts
access to state aid and eliminate
a law which encouraged them
to raise property taxes. This
will allow a number of school
districts to reduce their levies
and will provide more state
aid to districts that are heavily
dependent on property taxes to
fund their schools.
LB 1067 will also be the topic of much negotiation before it
is debated on the floor for advancement to Select File. The
discussion last week revolved
around elimination of the common levy, and how to allocate
state educational aid and poverty aid to the Learning Community school districts as well
as rural areas, as poverty is not
exclusive to the Omaha metropolitan area. Currently, the bill
as amended would eliminate
the common levy, increase state
aid by $5.3 million, and provide
for two years of aid for districts
negatively impacted by the
change to transition, starting at
$3.6 million. As always with
bills involving multi-milliondollar price tags, there will be
more discussion of how much
money will be spent on each
appropriation and on the bill in
total. I always enjoy hearing from
the Nebraskans I represent.

office with any questions or
concerns that you might have.

The hidden boost that buying local provides
to the local economy, a
figure that dwarfed the
revenue returned by the
national chains, which
returned just 14 percent
of revenue to the local
economy. Restaurants
provided an even bigger
boost to local economies,
returning 79 percent of
their revenue compared
to just 30 percent for the
national chain restaurants. The reasons for
these disparities include
local businesses spending
more on local labor and
relying more heavily on
local service providers.
So while buying local
may be more convenient
and eco-friendly, it also
can greatly benefit local
economies.
Though consumers
no doubt understand
how buying from
local merchants
can benefit those
merchants, few
may grasp just how
beneficial buying
local can be to their
entire communities.
In 2012, Civic Economics, an economic
analysis and strategic
planning firm, analyzed data from 15
independent retailers
and seven independent restaurants, all
located in Salt Lake
City, comparing
those businesses’ local economic impact
with four national
retailer chains and
three national
restaurant chains.
The study found that
the local retailers
returned 52 percent
of their revenue
