<br />97;: ;;'36 DISCUSSION WITH SENATORS ON BILLS PASSED IN LEGISLATURE THAT <br />AFFECT COUNTIES: Senators Chris Peterson and Ardyce Bohlke were <br />invited by the County Board to discuss the various bills that <br />will affect counties. Chris Peterson spoke on the <br />telecommunications bill that was passed that will result in the <br />deregulation of long distance phone rates. These rates will no <br />longer be regulated by the public service commission. This may <br />result in an increase in the rates for residential areas, but the <br />federal government has set up a fund to off set these increases. <br />She also spoke on the changes on the certificate of need that had <br />been required for hospitals and long-term care homes. Questions <br />were addressed to Senator Peterson concerning the 0% lids for <br />counties and how this could cause a problem if cases were filed <br />in the Court of Industrial Relations. <br /> <br />Senator Ardyce Bohlke served on the education and natural <br />resource committee. She stated that an interim study will be <br />done on the deregulation of electrical rates. She also spoke on <br />LB 806, which will parallel LB 299 and LB 1114. She stated that <br />the Hall County schools gained with the new bills. The <br />Educational Service Units will be looking into technology and <br />where schools should be in the future. The Senators answered <br />questions from the board members. The board thanked the Senators <br />for coming. <br /> <br />APPROVE RESOLUTION TO DELETE PROJECT C-40(273) FROM 1 & 6 YEAR <br />ROAD PROGRAM: Daniel Hostler, Public Works Director, explained <br />that this box culvert may not be necessary and requested this <br />resolution to delete the project.
