YORK – Miscalculations regarding tax credits means property tax payers in York County were slightly overcharged – the fix will mean those who haven’t paid their taxes yet will pay a little less than they were originally billed; if they paid their first half of their taxes, credit will be applied to the second half; and if they already paid all their taxes for the year, they will receive reimbursements.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at or soon after 9:00 A.M. in the York County Courthouse, 510 N. Lincoln Ave., Room 106, York, Nebraska, and the York County Commission will hold a Public Hearing concerning an existing Community Development Block Grant Emergent Threat Coronavirus (CDBG-EMCV) project benefitting the Four Corners Health Department (FCHD).
FCHD is a regional public health organization currently undertaking renovations in the amount of $355,000 of CDBG-EMCV funding. The current scope of work includes: a) $340,000 for 03P Health Facilities improvements to the site’s air filtration system, and the removal of architectural barriers that restrict mobility and accessibility for elderly and severely disabled and to include health and safety items, ramps, handicap viewing platforms, lobby access, fire protection, plumbing, restrooms and electrical work; b) $5,000 for 03P Construction Management; and c) $10,000 for 21A Grant Administrative costs. The contact amendment would include an increased scope of work and project budget, a contract extension, and a change in proposed accomplishments. Additional work to be undertaken includes: improvements to the facility’s West Wing, including painting, carpet installation, and HVAC replacement; soffit repair, exterior weather proofing, and repair of termite damage; lighting replacement; life safety (fire code) improvements; storefront/facade improvements; and window replacement. If approved, the amended project expenses include $715,000 in 03P Health Facilities improvements; b) $10,000 in 03P Construction Management; and c) $25,000 in 21A General Administration. The project will be completed in 2025. In addition, it is not anticipated that additional match funds will be required; however, in the event this occurs, all local funds will be provided by the FCHD. Total amended project costs are estimated at $750,000. There are no plans for displacement of people as a result of this CDBG-Community Development activity. However, the County will adopt a plan for assisting persons actually displaced by any CDBG assisted activities. The grant application will be available for public inspection at the County Clerk's office during regular working hours. All interested parties are invited to attend this public hearing, at which time you will have an opportunity to be heard regarding the grant application. Written and oral testimony will also be accepted at the public hearing scheduled for 9:00 A.M., February 18, 2025, at the York County Courthouse, 510 N. Lincoln Ave., Room 106, York, Nebraska.

YORK – This past week, the York County Commissioners agreed the commissioner chairman should have the ability to close the courthouse and other county operations in the event of an emergency.
This is done each year, in January. This ability to close county operations can be done without a vote of the county board. This would be in the case of a blizzard, a natural disaster, etc. A few years ago, the chairman had to close the courthouse due to a bomb threat. In the event the commissioner chairman is not available when an emergency presents itself, the power to close operations and the courthouse would then go to the vice-chairman. Currently, the commissioner chairman is Randy Obermier and the commissioner vice-chairman is Daniel Grotz.
