Honorable President
and Members of the City Council,
Attached is a resolution to add an item to the legislative package to be proposed to the Nebraska
Legislature at the session convening in January, 2001. This proposal would simply add an
additional alternate member to the City's Zoning Board of Appeals.
Under present State law, the Zoning Board of Appeals consists of five regular members, and one
alternate. At least four votes are required for the granting of any variance. Frequently, only four
members are able to attend a board meeting. This results in frequent requests for layovers, so
that a full board would be available to possibly grant the required four votes.
It is anticipated that an additional alternate member would reduce layovers and the consequent
delays and backlog of cases. The Mayor's office and Planning Department support this request.
Respectfully submitted,
Alan M. Thelen
Assistant City Attorney
