The Cherry County Commissioners met for a regular meeting on Tuesday at the courthouse in Valentine. The board adopted a resolution for an interlocal agreement for Region 4 Behavioral Health Services and signed a letter of opposition to LB102 supporting Cherry County Clerk of District Court. LB102 would shift responsibility of district crout from counties to the state level.
In other business, the board moved the time of a scheduled agenda item for a conditional use permit for Danielksi Farms from 11am to 1:30pm on March 9th. This was changed due to a courtroom scheduling conflict.
The County continues to shift toward leaving the Region 24 Emergency Management agreement by adopting a resolution at Tuesday’s meeting. At a previous meeting, the board voted to officially leave the group and handle emergency preparedness with their own staff.
After almost two years of work, the Valentine, Children and Families Coalition has taken a giant step by hiring a full time coordinator. A former Valentine resident, who has experience in this field, Sonia Coates was recently hired to fill the coordinator position and began her duties on January 1st.
Almost two years ago a group of interested citizens held numerous meetings to address needs in local child care, preschool and early childhood development. After associating with the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation, funding was granted to hire a local full time coordinator to assist families with resources that are available to them within our community. This position is governed by a coalition that includes the Valentine Community Schools, Cherry County Hospital, UNL Extension, Mid-Plains Community College, Economic Development, local mental health providers, and Northwest Community Action Partnership.
