(KLZA)-- Nemaha County, Nebraska Commissioners last week approved the purchase of a 2018 Cornhusker Pup Trailer from RDO Truck Center in an amount of $42,296. 

Trustees of the Village of Brownville met with the Board, requesting Nemaha County help mow and with spraying weeds at the Riverside Park and Landing.

The Trustees said they had hired a person to mow, but could not afford the service.  Commissioner Bryan Mellage suggested the Trustees request funding from the State Game & Parks Department to help defray the cost of mowing.

The Board approved having the Nemaha County Road Department mow Riverside Park and Landing once, to be done in September, and requested the Village Trustees to advertise for bids for future mowing.

The Village Trustees also discussed repairs to the old Highway 136 entrance, on the west edge of Brownville.  Commissioners will see if they can find a company to repair the road.   

Phil Walker met with Commissioners asking about the County spraying and removing brush on County Roads for taxpayers.  Walker wanted to know if taxpayers were paying for the service.  He also noted the low-hanging limbs on the Coryell Park Road.
