JERAD REIMERS UPDATE FROM CONGRESSMAN ADRIAN SMITH - Mr. Reimers stated <br /> that this is the 10th year for Congressman Adrian Smith as a representative of the Third District. <br /> He is now a member of the administration committee that oversees the day to day operations of <br /> Capital Hill and is also on the ways and means committee and subcommittees on trade and <br /> social security. Mr. Reimers asked if the board had questions. <br /> Mr. Quandt expressed concern on the veteran's home and the fact that the numbers are going <br /> down. There is a waiting list but it seems clear that it is the intent to minimize the numbers that <br /> are being served at the home. There are currently entire wings that are empty. <br /> Lancaster noted the article in the Grand Island Independent that called Grand Island a <br /> sanctuary city and she expressed concern on how Grand Island was on such a list. She noted <br /> the response from County Attorney Jack Zitterkopf and Tod Bahensky. <br /> Arnold noted that there is an issue holding people without a judge's order. It is a legal issue that <br /> needs to be worked out with ICE. <br /> Mr. Reimers noted the questions and stated that he will get these issues to Congressman <br /> Smith. <br /> 5.
