Buccaneer Bay Newsletter - Buccaneer Bay
Buccaneer Bay Newsletter February, 2013 Note from the Editor Well by now the Groundhog has told us if spring will be coming soon or if we will have six more weeks of winter. I guess regardless of what the Groundhog has to say the first day of spring is March 20. Not that I want a lot of snow, but it would sure be nice to get some moisture. February mostly reminds me of my days in grade school, a long long time ago, but I remember how much fun it was to make our valentines and we always gave a valentine to everyone in the class whether we liked the person or not. Our moms sent homemade treats to school for the party and several of them came to help the teacher serve and play games. I am not sure if that is even allowed anymore. It seems like the kids today grow up so fast and do not create the fun memories we were able to do. It will soon be time to update the Buccaneer Bay Phone Directory. I will have a data sheet in next month’s newsletter so you can make any updates or fill one out for the first time so you can be included in the directory. Even though I may have your name and phone number, it is not published in the directory until I have authorization on hand, which is the filled out Neighborhood Watch Data sheet. All information on this datasheet is kept confidential and only shared with your Block Captain. It is helpful to have a datasheet for every resident in Buccaneer Bay, and you can chose to not have your name and phone number published in the directory. It costs me about $100 to print the directories, so this year I may ask for donations to help defray the cost. I don’t want to put it on the Buccaneer Bay web site, as some residents don’t mind letting their neighbors know their address and phone number but do not want it to be public to the world. Several years ago I started sending the Newsletter via e-mail. It is now posted to the Buccaneer Bay Web site at http://www.buccaneerbay-ne.org/ under the Newsletter tab. For those that have signed up for the newsletter via e-mail I do send out a quick e-mail notice that the latest newsletter has been posted. This has reduced the number of newsletters that I print each month from 300 down to about 125-150. One thing about having the newsletter on the website is they are stored there for 4 years. If you have not signed up to receive the newsletter notice via email please e-mail me and I will get you added.

Due to the fact that the newsletter is only published once a month it is impossible for a rebuttal to take place in a timely fashion sometimes leaving the neighborhood with incorrect or outdated information. Thus “Letters to the Editor” that are directed at a certain party will be given to that party in time for them to give a response to be printed in the same newsletter. All Letters to the Editor must be signed by the person who submitted the letter; no unsigned letters will be printed or responded to. Editor reserves the right to publish letters. Happy Valentine’s Day! This-N-That Why Can’t I use the Plattsmouth Public Library? Cass County Historical Society Museum Events 646 Main St. Plattsmouth, NE Tuesday – Sunday: 12:00 to 4:00 PM Brown Bag Programs All Brown Bag Programs begin at 12:00 noon and are free to the public. Bring your sack lunch, coffee and cookies will be served. February 12 – “Valentines” In conjunction with the museum’s exhibit of Valentines, Leigh Jean Koinzan will talk about the history of Valentine’s Day and bring antique Valentines from her personal collection. February 26 – “Presidential Gravesites” Slides of Presidential gravesites taken by the museum’s late board president, George Miller, will be presented. March 12 – “Books without Covers: E-Books, Libraries and the Future” will be presented by Plattsmouth Librarians Kirsten Wood and Karen Mier. They will talk about the history of e-books, available resources and how our local library is addressing patron’s requests with this trend. March 26 – “Pioneer Cemeteries”- Roy Smith will present a power point on the research he has done on pioneer cemeteries of Cass County. Plattsmouth Volunteer City/Rural Fire Department In 2012 the Plattsmouth City and Rural Volunteer Fire Departments made a total of 226 calls: 19 – Structure Fires 4 – Vehicle Fires 46 – Motor Vehicle Fires 7 – Carbon Monoxide Alarms 13 – Grass Fires 37 – False Alarms 8 – Mutual Aid (Murray, Nehawka, Louisville, and Bellevue) 49 – Other (Community Assist) 43 – Assist EMS-Manpower/Driver Of the 226 calls 106 of them were to the Rural District. There are 51 volunteer firefighters in the Plattsmouth City/Rural District. The Fire Departments Response Area is the City of Plattsmouth and the Rural District, which is bordered on the North by the Platte River, on the South ½ mile south of Mynard Rd., on the East by the Missouri River and on the West b 84 th St. Page 2 By Janet McCartney This is a common question that seems to come up every now and then. To check out books from the Plattsmouth Public Library anyone who lives outside of the Plattsmouth City Limits must purchase an annual library card that covers the entire family for $30.00. I checked with Plattsmouth City Hall and the taxes that support the Plattsmouth Library are collected under the Plattsmouth City Tax to all property owners living in the city limits, thus those outside of the city limits pay for a library card. This is a very common practice for the majority of cities/villages in Nebraska. Each city library in Sarpy County has a fee for library usage for residents that do not live in the city limits. Bellevue Library charges $40 for a family membership and LaVista charges $55 for a family membership. Douglas County does not charge their residents a separate fee for the library card because the cost to all Douglas County property owners is part of the property taxes, regardless of what city/village they live in. If you do not reside in Douglas County the cost is $75 a year. In 2008 the State Legislature passed LB-768 which allows Sanitary Improvement Districts to contract for access to the facilities and use of the services of the library system of one or more neighboring cities or villages. At the time that this option was added to Sanitary Improvement District law the SID#5 Board of Trustees felt the cost to negotiate for these services would be an additional tax that would not be used by all property owners in Buccaneer Bay. I pulled the property tax levy for Buccaneer Bay and that of Plattsmouth to compare the total levy. Buccaneer Bay total tax levy for 2102 is $2.354819 per $100 of property valuation. The Plattsmouth property tax levy for 2012 is $2.538761 per $100 of property valuation. Winter Walking This winter has been somewhat milder and residents are able to get out and get some exercise or walk their dogs before or after working hours. Remember with the daylight hours being shorter than in the summer months, and the fact that Buccaneer Bay does not have street lights or side-walks throughout the sub-division, if you are out walking in the early morning or evening hours when it is dark out you should wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight. It is difficult for drivers to see someone walking along the streets during these hours. Baby Boomer Trivia (See Page 4 for answers) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. What pain reliever numbered its headaches?

Other than those signs for which specific approval for an extended period has been received from the SID board our policy is signs on SID property are only to be up for a total of 72 hours, including the day of the event, and must be removed by sundown on the day of the event. Under this policy, realtors are able to advertise their open houses, directions to a party may be posted, and garage sales may be advertised. The size of the signs are to be limited to the standard size of a real estate sign, which is about 2’x2’. If signs are left up past the 72 hours they will be removed by a SID board member and will be recycled. The policy also states that the signs must be free standing. They cannot be attached to the exterior of the bulletin board located at the front entrance. All notices posted on the bulletin board are to be mounted on the interior of the enclosed area. If you are selling your home, please advise your realtor of the SID policy. Page 14 Analysis of Your Property Taxes By Janet McCartney Having held an elected position in one way or another over the past 25 years I have heard many times “I pay so many taxes why can’t we just put in new roads, or have access to the library, or lower taxes?” Have you ever taken the time to really study your tax statement? You may pay your taxes to the County Treasurer, but neither the County nor the SID gets all of that money. Below is a capture of the current tax levy for those with property at Buccaneer Bay and following that is a breakdown by percentage. This information is on your tax statement and on the County GIS web site at http://www.cassne.org/, then select GIS/Property Lookup on the left side menu. Total Tax Levy = $2.538761 per $100 of property valuation. Description Rate % of Total ESU NO 3 + SD 1 Plattsmouth + SD 1 Plts Bond 9-12 (Local School System) SID 5 General Fund + SID 5 Construction Bond Co Jail Bond + County General SE Community College FD P Plattsmouth (Rural Fire Department) Lower Platte NRD 1 (Natural Resource District) Ag Society + Ag Society Bond Totals 1.178425 0.4641732 0.779999 0.425193 0.062700 0.038052 0.037750 0.016642 2.538761 0.307236 0.1674805 0.024697 0.0149884 0.0148981 0.0065551 1.0000283 The above tax entities are sorted by highest tax levy to the lowest. You can see the Local School System gets 46% of Buccaneer Bay total tax levy, SID 5 gets 31%, and the County comes in 3rd with 17%. What do you get for these three top taxes? Schools – the education of our youth, keeping up with technology so that they are prepared for college and advanced education. SID 5 – Mainly infrastructure of roads, sewer and water. Over the past few years the SID has updated the water system and installed a new wastewater treatment plant. County – Roads, Jail, Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Mgmt. and all of the Courthouse Offices required to manage County Government. Page 15 WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT?
