Where the data comes from

Governing body

  • City Council: regular meetings on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday, usually 6:00 PM, City Council Chambers, City Hall (some meetings start at 4:30 PM). Roster as of March 2026 (from older minutes): the agendas read name Mayor Mayor Hike and Council members Councilman Casey and Councilman Burns; the Fire Chief is Fire Chief Guido and the Police Chief is Police Chief Clary. First names, the full Council, the City Administrator and the City Attorney are not named in the agendas read and still need to be captured.
  • Planning Commission: 4th Thursday of each month, 6:00 PM
  • Board of Equalization: meets at 5:00 PM before the first Council meeting in some months (March, June, September, December)
  • Other bodies: Library Advisory Board (monthly, third Wednesday), Board of Adjustment (dates through the Planning Department, 402-293-3026), Tree Board, Bridge Commission, Board of Health, Civil Service Commission (no schedules posted)

Data quality notes

  • Minutes are not posted for most meetings. No minutes were found for any meeting from April 2026 onward, so meeting pages are built from agendas and video listings only.
  • All nine meeting pages are built from the posted agendas (read 2026-11-12); 34 Issue pages and 5 People pages were created from them. Votes are not recorded in agendas, so Issue pages say where an item stands per the agenda only.
  • Meeting video dates come from video titles. Council video for 2026-09-15 is titled as starting at the 6:35 mark.
  • The Library Advisory Board page lists entries dated in the future, including a cancellation notice for 2026-10-21; these have no pages.
  • Meeting pages begin with 2026-09-01.
