The Falls City Council met at City Hall on Monday, November 2, for a regularly scheduled meeting. All council members were present for the roll call. City Administrator Gary Jorn asked the Council to consider suspending the first and second reading of Ordinance 2026-103 so that it could be submitted immediately to the state. He also asked the Board to contemplate tabling agenda item No. 8 regarding the purchase of a Grasshopper mower for the Parks Department for $30,538.70. Jorn asked that it be brought back to the Council in a few weeks, after he had time to look at ways to cut the unit cost. Chief Jamie Baker reported touching base with a ride carrier. Baker said he intends to sign an MOU with the company. He stated it is funded through the Nebraska Rural Health Transformation, through the Department of Health and Human Services. “It assists us in transporting people in mental health crisis to Lincoln,” said Baker.
