Sen. Wendy DeBoer of Bennington flips through the proposed tax bill during debate Aug. 13 at the Capitol. She said with the latest property tax relief package, the state is now responsible for paying more than one-quarter of the property taxes owed in Nebraska. "That is a significant amount that the state is picking up the tab for."

Yost, assistant director of Parks and Recreation, said the debris drop-off site at Holmes Lake has been one of the busiest — and it's also one of the smallest. The city has brought equipment to all the drop-off sites to consolidate tree debris.

Yost said the city is encouraging residents to use other sites, which include Seng Park (south of the ballfields); Woods Park (south lot off of J Street); Oak Lake Park (main lot off of Charleston Street); and Hofeling Enterprises, 2200 South Folsom Court. City parks sites will accept debris until Aug. 19.
