(KLZA)-- The Pawnee County Commissioners have approved a drive-thru drop box being installed at the Pawnee County Courthouse.

Pawnee County Treasurer Cheryl Dahlgren and County Clerk Candi Nicholas discussed the proposal with Board members Tuesday. It is to allow more convenience for constituents by allowing them an opportunity to drop off items when time allows, 24 hours per day. 

The drop box will be located north of the circle drive where people can drive in, insert their items and leave.

Commissioners also approved the Pawnee County Weed Superintendent making the findings and to issue and deliver individual notices pursuant to the Noxious Weed Control Act.  

Following a public hearing drawing no public comment the Board approved a resolution setting the 911 surcharge for 2018 at $1.00 per month on each telephone number or functional equivalent of service users whose primary place of use is within the 911 service area of Pawnee County.  The rate remains the same, but the resolution had not been updated in more than a decade.  

The Pawnee County Board also received the annual Southeast Nebraska Community Action program update.  A proclamation declaring May as Community Action Month was unanimously approved.
