County budget shapes up with no property tax increase
Douglas County commissioners near finalizing a 47.5 million dollar operating budget for next year after three days of hearings. They plan to decide which positions and projects survive next week while keeping the property tax rate unchanged. Key items include 25 thousand for Watkins Museum restrooms, 12.5 thousand for a fundraising consultant, and 67.5 thousand plus 80 thousand for road and culvert work. Emergency dispatch salaries would rise with 6 thousand of county funds plus 12 thousand from Lawrence. Public works would add staff for culverts and road repaving if state revenue covers costs. A $15.5 thousand increase for appointed defense attorneys was debated but likely delayed. Visiting Nurses Association funding was rejected for extra 80 thousand. A possible 20 thousand consultant fund could help evaluate purchasing the Farmland plant site for open space and a business park. Final budget hearings are set for Tuesday.

Sycamore Valley Lake Estates hinges on flood lake plan
Douglas County considers a 219 acre estate style development with 23 homes north of Lone Star Lake. A proposed 30 acre lake would absorb up to 17 percent of flood flows, potentially lowering Lone Star flood levels by 1.3 feet. Planning officials question Horizon 2020 compliance and urban growth proximity as commissioners push July review and August vote.
