A Notice of Sale by Sheriff for Lots One Hundred Thirty (130) And One Hundred Thirty-One (131), Original Town, Exeter, Nebraska was reviewed. The auction will be held on October 20, 2025 at 10:00 am. The Village has been mowing the lot for years. Discussion was held on if the Village should purchase the property and how high they should bid. Harre moved and Salyer seconded the motion to spend up to $10,000.00 to purchase the lots. All present voted aye. Bob Mueller will attend the auction as the Village representative. A notification from the League of Nebraska Municipalities regarding a US Supreme Court ruling that NPDES end-result conditions are impermissible was reviewed. The Supreme Court ruled held that the EPA cannot impose conditions on discharging facilities with “end-result” conditions that make a permittee responsible for the quality of the water in the body of water into which the permittee discharges pollutants.” The Court determined that EPA should use its own resources to determine how to protect water quality rather than leaving businesses and cities to figure out how to do so. Clerk Erdkamp was instructed to reach out to NDEE Chief Water Officer Matt Manning and League Attorneys to see how this will impact the permit issued to the Village of Exeter. As the Village of Exeter and many others are faced with meeting more difficult discharge requirements this ruling could potentially save millions of dollars on project expenses. No Marshal’s Report was presented. John Mueller presented the Maintenance Report. The asbestos testing reports are back for 321 East North Depot and 115 South River Avenue. The estimate to remove asbestos from the floor tiles at 115 South River Avenue is $2,195.00. The estimate to remove asbestos floor tile and glue, masting and siding from 321 East North Depot is $7,285.00. Both houses have been declared nuisances. Mueller moved and Harre seconded the motion to move ahead with the asbestos removal at both houses. All present voted aye. A Vac Trailer for sale online from NPPD in York has a current bid of $25,250.00. Discussion was held on the condition and nearby location of the trailer. Mueller moved and Salyer seconded the motion to go up to $30,000.00. All present voted aye. The 1963 fire hydrant by the Legion is being worked on and may need to be replaced. John and Joe continue to change out water meters. The pool will be winterized soon. Sixteen ballfield posts have been replaced that were broken in the August windstorm. Final mowing letters will be sent. Hanging branches need to be trimmed by property owners and vehicles, boats, campers and trailers need to be removed from streets prior to snow removal. Becky Erdkamp presented the Clerk’s Report. City sales tax receipts for July were $16,462.30. Keno receipts for August were $175.38. She will be taking several days of vacation in November. Public comments were received from a concerned Perennial Public Power customer. Board member Justin Harre inquired if the Village had dirt available to fill the basement at 521 South Empire Avenue. The Village has assisted with filling the basements of nuisance properties in the past and will assist with this project. Many positive comments have been received regarding the removal of the nuisance house. The next meeting will be held on November 4th at 7:00 pm. The meeting adjourned at 8:00 pm. Becky S.
