(KMZA)--A Nemaha County organization is seeking additional funding from the county for 2018.  

Sarah Renyer and Nick Scott with Nemaha County United 4 Youth met with the County Commission Monday to update Commissioners on the mentoring program the organization is sponsoring in the county’s schools.

Renyer thanked the Commission for the $1,200 in funding the organization currently receives from the county every quarter along with a portion of the county’s alcohol control fund.

She requested nearly $2,400 in additional funding from the county for 2018 in order to continue the mentoring program.

Commissioners agreed to include the funding in the county’s 2018 budget.

In other action, Ross Mosteller with the Nemaha County 4-H program came before the Commission to inform them of about a 4-H project Thomas Edelman would like to do at the Nemaha County Community building.  

Mosteller said Edelman would like to add some landscaping on the south side of the building.  

Commissioners agreed to allow the project to be completed.
