(KLZA)-- The Pawnee City Council wants residents to quit blowing grass clippings in the City Streets.
Monday night, the Council urged Pawnee County Sheriff Jayme Reed to issue citations to those blowing clippings into the streets.
City Clerk Tammy Stephens says the clippings clog up the city storm sewer drains and cause other problems. Council members hope that if tickets are issued, it will stop people from the practice.
In other action the Council voted to make a change in employee’s health insurance. The City will continue to have insurance through the Nebraska Association of County Officials insurance pool, but have voted to change from United Healthcare to Blue Cross – Blue Shield of Nebraska.
With the change, which goes into effect July 1, premiums will decrease 7.5-percent.
