County names depositories for new calendar year

​YORK – Each year at this time, the county board members officially name the official depositories for the county, for the new calendar year.
Named for 2025 are Cornerstone Bank, Midwest Bank, York State Bank, Henderson State Bank, NPAIT in Lincoln and Union Bank and Trust.

• Also during this past week’s meeting of the commissioners, Chairman Randy Obermier said the county received $15,685 back from NIRMA (the county’s property insurance carrier).
• Obermier also noted he and other commissioners attended a recent meeting of the county’s planning and zoning committee. “I like that they are meeting on the third Monday of each month but I think they need some direction” as far as what they need to do next regarding solar farm zoning regulations. “They have questions about their next steps.”

“And I think Marvin (Consulting) would do more to help them,” said Commissioner Andy Bowman.
York County Zoning Administrator Nate Heinz said he reached out to Keith Marvin from the Marvin group about that as well.

• Obermier said further review of the windows on the west side of the courthouse show “we have big issues with the windows and the seals. Those numbers (as far as cost) will be coming forward and I can pretty much guess they will be staggering.”
• Obermier also noted work has started on the installation of a CO2 pipeline through the county. “They have a staging area by McCool and another place near Nobes Road. They acquired 100% of their voluntary easements. They are working south to north and the company has said communications with the county road department has been great. They do have a haul route and it looks like they are doing the right thing as far as entrances to fields.”

Commissioner Andy Bowman said he has told the pipeline construction crew about some concerns he’s heard regarding “aggressive driving” in the country, which they said would be addressed.

• It was noted that Joe Burgess and LeRoy Ott will be sworn in as county commissioners on Jan. 9.
