• Friday, December 7 at Iron Horse Park, 7th and “Q” streets in the Haymarket. This

signing from 4 to 7 p.m. coincides with the First Friday Art Walk.

“The raising of the final steel beam is a milestone event in the construction of the Pinnacle Bank

Arena,” said Mayor Chris Beutler, Chair of the West Haymarket JPA. “This is an opportunity for

the public to be part of the history of this facility which will serve our community for many

years.”

The Pinnacle Bank Arena will be the home of the UNL basketball program and is on schedule to

be completed in the fall of 2013. More information is available at PinnacleBankArena.com and

haymarketnow.com.

MEDIA NOTE: The media will be invited to the raising of the beam

at a “topping out” ceremony at 10 a.m. Wednesday, December 12.

SEPARATION OF GRASS AND LEAVES ENDS SATURDAY

Beginning Saturday, December 1, Lincoln and Lancaster County residents will no longer be

required to separate grass and leaves from their household trash.

The Nebraska Integrated Solid Waste Management Act requires that grass and leaves be

separated from household trash from April 1 through November 30 of each year. During these

months, the grass and leaves are diverted to the City’s compost facility, and local waste haulers

charge a separate fee for the yard waste collection.

Residents can place their grass and leaves with their household trash from December 1 through

March 31, however additional fees may be charged for their regular waste collection based on the

volume and weight of the leaves and grass collected.

More information on the City’s recycling program is available at recycle.lincoln.ne.gov.

Eskridge Announces Revisions in Replacement Process Schedule

Today City Council Chair Carl Eskridge announced two revisions to the schedule to appoint a new Council person. Eskridge said that when he learned that Council member Jon Camp would be unable to attend the December 17th Council meeting, he revised the schedule in order for the Council to vote at the December 10th Council meeting. He said that his decision was in response to Mr. Camp's request for a reconsideration of the schedule. The revised time line for the replacement is: • Any Lincoln resident interested in being considered for appointment to the Council can apply by sending an email and a resume to the City Council at councilpacket@lincoln.ne.gov. Nominations will be accepted until 4 pm on Tuesday, November 27th at which time the names will be released to the public. (There is no change to this deadline.) • Applications will be reviewed and each Council member and the Mayor will select one person for interviews. Council members will submit their choices to the Council Chair by 4 pm, Friday, November 30th, rather than December 4th, as was previously announced. • Interviews with the nominated candidates will be held the first week of December. That week the public will also have an opportunity to meet and talk with candidates at an open house. • After the interviews, the Council Chair and the Mayor will meet. Their nomination will be offered to the full City Council for a vote at the December 10th Council meeting. “At this time we have received eight applications for this vacant position which will be filled upon the election of new at-large council members in May. We encourage any resident interested in serving your city in this capacity to submit an application,” Eskridge concluded.

To Whom it May Concern: I am excited to submit my application for the open seat on the Lincoln City Council. I understand that this is a short term position, which is appealing to me since I want to continue to gain knowledge and experience in the Lincoln community without necessarily having to wage a full-out campaign this May. While I am not opposed to running for a city-wide council seat in the future, my current primary concern is gaining valuable experience while also being able to assist my fellow Lincolnites as best as I am able. As my resume highlights, I strive to better the community around me as often as possible. I emphasize pro bono and reduced fee cases in my law practice, particularly focusing on those types of demographics within Lincoln and the surrounding areas who may be considered most vulnerable; domestic abuse victims, elders, vulnerable adults, and those living below poverty level. I volunteer in a variety of organizations whose mission is aligned with my own goals and morals. I have a very strong altruism streak that runs through my entire spirit, a quality I find imperative to serving the community in a public office position. I really hope to be seriously considered for this position. What I lack in age and experience I more than make up for in energy, creativity, civic-mindedness and drive. I really look forward to hearing from all of you in the near future. Should you have any questions regarding my application, please let me know. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend with your loved ones. -- Sincerely, Megan N. Mikolajczyk, Esq.

November 26, 2012 City of Lincoln, Nebraska Attn: Mayor Chris Beutler Attn: Councilman Carl Eskridge 555 So. 10th St. Lincoln, NE 68508 Dear Messer. Beutler and Eskridge,

Our society has come to expect honesty, integrity, and transparency in all areas of government. This is more evident now with the ease of access and reference materials available via the Internet. At the same time, discretion and tactfulness must be judiciously applied during investigations. My extensive resume demonstrates I have the needed experience and skills for the position of At-Large Member of the City of Lincoln Council. I have over 33 years of law enforcement experience in the federal and state venues. These duties offered me the opportunity to work extensively with not only corporate officers, attorneys, and accountants, but also law enforcement officers from federal, state, and municipal law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Secret Service, Nebraska State Patrol, and Lincoln Police Department. I previously held a U.S. Government Top Secret Security Clearance. This demonstrates my ability to maintain the confidentiality of the work I perform. Prior to my current position, I was the Antiterrorism Program Manager – Contractor for the Nebraska Army National Guard and ensured the antiterrorism program needs were met. For over four years, I was the Director of Security at Midland Lutheran College, Fremont, Nebraska. My duties included leading, managing and directing security personnel in the protection of students, faculty, visitors, and facilities. Additionally, I developed security plans, policies, procedures, and instructions. Once you have had an opportunity to review my enclosed resume, you will conclude I have the experience and expertise to complement the City Council At-Large Member.

I look forward to meeting with you.

Sincerely, Franklin K. Roby

November 24, 2012 Councilman Carl Eskridge Northwest District 555 South 10th Street Lincoln, NE - 68508 Councilman Eskridge, This letter is to inform you that I would like to be considered for the vacant position on the Lincoln City Council. Enclosed you will find my résumé. I am aware that you may be giving special consideration to those applicants who do not plan to run for election. At this time, I have no plans to run. However, in the interest of full disclosure I feel obligated to say that, in the event that I was able to do a superior job of serving Lincoln’s citizens during the time of my appointment, I would feel it my duty to run. It may be that Councilwoman Schimek used similar reasoning when she chose to run for the at-large position to which she was appointed. One of the people I most respect made the following observation to me some time ago. When you serve on a board or council, you should choose your allies not for what they believe, because what they believe may change; instead, choose your allies for their style, for their style will always be the same. This concept was tested on a regular basis when I was the Superintendent/Colonel of the Nebraska State Patrol. My style has been described as conciliatory. I had to learn to work with both Republicans and Democrats. I had the privilege of working with both Mayor Beutler and Councilwoman Schimek. My role was to ensure that laws and budgets regarding public safety were passed that were in the best interest of the citizens of Nebraska. I work hard to uncover the facts necessary to make a decision before I take action. I let those facts, not politics, determine how I vote on the issue. While I might have political differences with my colleagues, those differences are more likely to surface at the federal level than the local level. The kind of Lincoln I want is a Lincoln that we can all be proud to call home, the kind of Lincoln where civility and prosperity go hand in hand. Visitors who come to Lincoln for football games observe that we have the most civil fans they have ever encountered. I guess you could say that all I really want is a town that lives up to our football fans. I hope that you will give me a serious look as a replacement for Adam Hornung. Thank you, Tom Nesbitt Cc: Mayor Chris Beutler

Lincoln City Council November 27, 2012

555 South 10th Street

Lincoln, NE 68508

Dear members of the City Council and Mayor Beutler:

I am applying for the vacant position on the Lincoln City Council. My interest is in serving the remainder

of the term; I would not seek election in 2013.

I have been an active member of the Lincoln community for over thirty years, care about our city, and

am familiar with the issues facing it. My communication, research, organizational, and leadership skills

would be valuable as a City Council member.

My current employment as a freelance writer provides me with a flexible schedule. Due to the nature of

my work, I have developed the ability to quickly absorb and process new information. I am confident

that I would be a contributing member of the Council, rather than merely warming a seat.

In your review of applicants, a person’s political and philosophical positions are naturally of interest. I

consider myself a moderate, holding a mix of conservative and liberal views. I am fiscally conservative

and temper my stance on social issues with a strong belief in personal responsibility. I was quite active in

the Democratic Party in the ‘80s, in the Republican Party in the ‘90s, and now (although a registered

Democrat) I find myself disillusioned with both parties. Consequently, I have spent recent years working

on nonpartisan community issues.

I would welcome the opportunity to serve my community as an interim City Council member, and

appreciate your consideration of my application.

Sincerely,

Diane Walkowiak

27 November 2012 Carl Eskridge Chairperson, Lincoln City Council 555 South 10th Street, Room 111 Lincoln, NE 68508 Dear Councilman Eskridge: Please accept the enclosed resume in support of my application for the current at-large vacancy on the Lincoln City Council. As you can see from my enclosed resume, I have a wide variety of experience with local and state government entities and agencies such as the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District, the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission and the University of Nebraska Board of Regents that would allow me to quickly familiarize myself with City Council practices and processes. My professional training as both an applied statistician and an attorney has also greatly facilitated my ability to efficiently analyze both large quantities of new information as well as novel and complex policy questions. I would be pleased to serve the remaining portion of Councilman Hornung’s term without seeking re-election in the spring. My primary passion lies in the area of public service rather than in the processes of partisan politics and I would be honored to be of any assistance I could to the City Council in the interim period prior to the election. I am unclear what the current timeline is for candidate interviews and the public open house. I do need to let you know that I will be unavoidably out of town from approximately 3 p.m. on December 5th through December 10th and that I completely understand if this absence makes consideration of my application for the position untenable. Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the current vacancy. Please feel free to contact me using the information provided on my resume if you have further questions about my application for the vacancy. Sincerely, Dr. Kristin E. Yates

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 30, 2012

FOR MORE INFORMATION: Fire Chief John Huff, 402-441-8350

EVALUATION TEAM PRAISES NEBRASKA TASK FORCE ONE

Fire Chief John Huff said that Nebraska Task Force One (NE-TF1), the urban search and rescue

team based at Lincoln Fire and Rescue (LFR), has successfully completed an evaluation by the

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Huff said the three-member peer evaluation

team’s review specifically looked at the operations, logistics and management of NE-TF1.

“Team members went beyond saying that NE-TF1 is fully operational,” said Huff. “They

commended the City, LFR and all its members for well organized management, wise resource

use and the sponsoring agency’s commitment to the National Urban Search and Rescue

Program.”

NE-TF1 was recognized in several categories:

• A “Best Practice” was awarded for the “K9 Handler Academy,” a program for recruiting

and training personnel to properly train dogs to become FEMA-certified search dogs.

• The task force was recognized for its processes for maintaining its rescue equipment. The

evaluation team specifically cited the procedures for upgrading hazardous materials

equipment and training to be able to operate within a contaminated environment.

• The evaluators praised NE-TF1’s aggressive recruitment and training program to ensure

an adequate number of qualified rescuers are on the team.

• The team recognized that NE-TF1's new warehouse location allows for rapid deployment

of personnel and equipment.

In a closing briefing, the evaluators said, “The exceptional attention to detail that is provided to

NE-TF1 by the management staff and Lincoln Fire and Rescue is evident to the evaluation team!

NE-TF1 is clearly integrated into the day-to-day operations of the sponsoring agency.”

“NE-TF1 is an asset to the nation, to the region and to our own community,” Huff said. “I want

to thank all the members of the task force whose hard work resulted in this very successful

evaluation.”

NE-TF1 has a membership of 194 personnel and is one of the 28 federal rescue teams placed

strategically throughout the U.S. In addition to LFR, members are from the Omaha Fire

Department, Ayars and Ayars Inc and Nebraska Emergency Medicine P.C. The task force also

includes a number of civilian affiliates within the region with experience in K-9 search, structural

engineering and communications. More information on NE-TF1 is available at lincoln.ne.gov

Lancaster County Weed Control - City of Lincoln Weed Abatement

November 2012www.lancaster.ne.gov/weeds

Lancaster County Weed Control supports the addition of Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) as a statewide noxious weed. Currently it exists mainly in southeastern Nebraska with approximately 60 acres infested in Lancaster County. Sericea lespedeza has been a noxious weed in Kansas since 2000. Our Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR) plan is to find new invaders early and eradicate them before they spread across our county and state and end up costing property owners millions to control.

Severe infestation of sericea lespedeza in Lancaster County

The process for sericea lespedeza to become a statewide noxious weed is working its way through the system. In the January 2012 newsletter I reported that a Weed Risk Assessment (WRA) had been completed and that sericea lespedeza scored very high. The final WRA report showed it had an extremely high potential to spread and impact almost 98% of Nebraska. This past summer surveys were completed around the state to get a better idea of how many acres were infested. Recently the Nebraska Weed Control Association’s Board of Directors recommended that sericea lespedeza be brought before the Nebraska Noxious Weed Advisory Committee (NNWAC) for approval. The NNWAC

members are appointed by the Governor and consist of many groups and agencies; both public and private across the state who’s interest are mainly in agriculture and natural resources. If approved by the NNWAC it will be sent to Nebraska’s Director of Agriculture. Following a hearing process to get public input a decision would be made by the Director to either approve or disapprove sericea lespedeza as a statewide noxious weed.

November 28, 2012 Lincoln City Council Lincoln, Nebraska Subject: Lincoln Electric System (LES)

2013 Proposed Rate Adjustment – Additional Information

Dear: Chair Eskridge and Members of the Lincoln City Council: At the City Council Public Hearing for the 2013 Budget and proposed Rate Adjustment, questions were raised relating to Net Revenues which are currently projected to be above budget for 2012. As many have acknowledged, the LES budget is complex and it is often difficult during brief conversations to convey the points of consideration that are integral to the decision making process. The following highlights some of the points to consider regarding 2012 “projected” Net Revenues.

The current projection is that 2012 Net Revenues will be approximately $2.5 million above budget. This is still a projection as November and December financial results are not yet known and will impact actual year-end results.

The complexity of our business and the variable nature of our sales and expenses (which is similar to many businesses), make preparing a budget that exactly achieves projections nearly impossible. Compared to the total size of the LES budget and the number of dynamic components, the variance for 2012 Net Revenue is relatively small - - only 1% above the $234 million budget for operating expenses.

If the current projection of Net Revenue is correct, at the end of the year the Board could either elect to transfer the additional Net Revenue to the Rate Stabilization Fund or end 2012 with debt service coverage of 2.02.

If “above budget” Net Revenues are transferred to the Rate Stabilization Fund, it

would reduce the future amount that would be required to be budgeted to attain the target for the Rate Stabilization Fund, thereby lowering future rate adjustments. (The Rate Stabilization Fund target was the result of a detailed risk analysis.)

    

 

2  

If “above budget” Net Revenues are not transferred to the Rate Stabilization Fund, it would result in 2012 debt service coverage of 2.02 instead of the 2012 budgeted debt service coverage of 1.95. (Debt Service Coverage was lowered to 1.95 in the 2012 budget as a “one time” rate mitigation strategy.)

If the Board decided to use the amount of “above budget” Net Revenues from 2012 to offset a portion of the 2013 Rate Adjustment, and still maintain debt service coverage of 2.0 in 2013, an additional transfer from the Rate Stabilization Fund in 2013 would need to be budgeted.

Similar to lowering the debt service coverage in 2012 as a rate mitigation strategy, using Net Revenues from 2012 that exceed budget to offset a portion of the 2013 Rate Adjustment is not a permanent solution since it provides payment of these costs for only one year, whereas LES will continue to incur those costs in future years. This is identical to what has now occurred in 2012 in that the impact of these increased costs will be shifted from 2013 to 2014.

Regardless of how “above budget” Net Revenues are utilized, the funds will be

retained for reinvestment in the utility to help offset borrowing needs or to meet liquidity requirements - - both of which benefit customers.

As a part of our business, our customers, our Administrative Board and the financial community, expect that LES will be prepared to manage actual financial results which vary from the prepared budget – either above, or below budgeted results.

Modifying a proposed budget after it is developed, discussed in public and approved by the Administrative Board, based on a continuing evaluation of financial forecasts, sets interesting precedent for future years whether the projections are above or below the budgeted amount.

As a public power utility, LES affords its customers (as its owners) the rights of access and participation through their ability to influence LES’ direction and operations through both the LES Administrative Board and the Lincoln City Council. LES supports the public power model and we value the benefits our customers receive such as local ownership and control, a low-cost structure and a customer focus on delivering a high level of service and reliability. Consistent with feedback from our customers and peer utilities, we believe that the transparency in operations that is provided by LES is more extensive than that provided by other public power utilities in our region. An example of this transparency was reflected in LES’ decision to refund the costs which were in the 2012 budget and electric rates for the Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) when the rule was “stayed” by the courts. Neither NPPD nor OPPD chose to provide a refund of their budgeted CSAPR costs. Although the calculated average increase on overall electric rates from 2012 to

 

3  

2013 is 2.6%, due to LES’ decision to refund CSAPR budgeted costs to its customers, the impact to customers on their 2013 electric bills is slightly larger depending on their class of service. As noted at the public hearing, our proposed 2.6% rate adjustment is below NPPD’s approved 3.75% increase and well below OPPD’s announced 6.9% increase. Had either of those utilities provided a refund for the costs they had budgeted in 2012 for CSAPR, as LES chose to, the impact to their customers from their 2013 rate adjustments would be more significant. We had a record week for the Sustainable Energy Program (SEP) last week and wanted to provide an update. Preauthorization to commercial and industrial customers totaling approximately $219,000 were issued last week. With five weeks to go in the year, the SEP available balance is now slightly less than $340,000. The SEP program continues to provide economic benefits to the LES community as well as health and safety benefits as identified by John Henry Zohner in his article in the November 27, 2012 Neighborhood Extra. We are confident in the detailed budget preparations by our internal staff and management as well as the comprehensive oversight provided by the LES Administrative Board. We believe we have presented a responsible business case and have taken significant measures to mitigate the rate impacts on our customers. Please let us know if we can provide other data that would be useful in your consideration of the LES 2013 Budget and proposed Rate Adjustment. Respectfully,

Kevin G. Wailes Administrator & CEO c: Mayor Chris Beutler LES Administrative Board
