Nemaha County Courthouse

(KMZA) -Longtime Nemaha County Appraiser Betty Roeder has retired.

Roeder's retirement resignation was effective Monday.

She had served as county appraiser since September 2001.

The Nemaha County Commission last week appointed deputy county appraiser Kerri Koch as interim county appraiser, effective June 24.

In other business, County Clerk Mary Kay Schultejans spoke with Commissioners again about staffing in her office.

Commissioners reviewed staffing levels and responsibilities of other county clerk offices in Kansas.

Schultejans has decided to forgo hiring any additional staff at this time and instead plans to hire a full-time employee to begin in 2026 as long as funding for employee is approved by Commissioners.

Jeff Kidd and Bryan Schmitz with SBS Insurance came before the board to speak to Commissioners about the county's property and casualty insurance renewal on July 1st. They informed Commissioners that the county was probably looking at a 6 percent overall premium increase for 2025-26.

Commissioners also discussed the recently adjusted rates at the county landfill, which took effect June 16.

Trash rates have been increased to $85 per ton for in-county trash and $95 a ton for out-of-county trash.

The rates for the disposal of construction and demolition materials have also increased. The new rate for in-county C & D material is $50 a ton, while the new rate for out-of-county C & D material is $60 per ton.
