Susan Niemoth, 4776 W Prairie Road, Grand Island 68803 noted that on March 13th the culvert on her road was plugged up and she contacted the Road Department to look at the culvert. The cattle pens were also full of water. They did get it opened and then on August 23 when it rained again the road was flooded and apparently the culvert was plugged again. Discussion was held that the culvert needs to be replaced and she also noted that the culvert was hit by a grader during the winter. She stated the ditches were full and she left her car at the neighbors and had to walk home. It is a 1 mile round trip walk to get to her home. She only has one way out of her property and on August 24 she drove her car through the water. But after that the check engine light came one the 2006 Chevrolet Aero and she took it to Dinsdales Chevrolet to have it repaired she filed a claim with the county for the repairs to her vehicle for$106.59. The claim was filed with NIRMA but was denied she noted the letter from NIRMA. She is asking for reimbursement of the repairs.

He would like to discuss the RFP process to expedite the process for the software. 5B) DISCUSSION & POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING PROSECUTION CASE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE PURCHASE —County Attorney Marty Klein stated he would like to proceed with this process. Peterson questioned if this would require an RFP. The county purchasing act is clear it states anything excess of$50,000.00 would require completive bidding. Nebraska State Statute is $50,000 but the county is more restrictive and anything over $10,000.00 requires competitive bidding.
