North Platte City Council members face a mostly routine agenda Tuesday, with reception of the city’s 2022-23 audit among the more notable items.
The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. in the City Hall council chamber, 211 W. Third St. It’ll be broadcast on Allo Communications channel 1 and livestreamed on the city’s YouTube channel.

Council members will be asked to accept and file the 2022-23 audit as part of an eight-item consent agenda, which will be adopted with a single vote unless a member asks to remove one or more items.
Formal review of the audit for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 has been tentatively scheduled for the June 4 council meeting, city Finance Director Dawn Miller said in a memorandum.

The consent agenda also asks the council to ratify Mayor Brandon Kelliher’s appointment of Robert Stefka to the Board of Adjustment and reappointments of Jakob Buck and Stuart Shepherd to the North Platte Housing Authority board.
Stefka, who has been an alternate member, would replace former Councilman Jim Backenstose on the five-member board that has final authority on requested variances to zoning regulations.
In other business, the council will decide whether to sell 0.107 acres worth of credits from the city’s “wetland mitigation bank” to Tallgrass Interstate Gas Transmission LLC of Colorado.
Tallgrass is in line to supply natural gas to the Sustainable Beef LLC meatpacking plant as well as future developments on North Platte’s east side, City Engineer Brent Burklund said in a council memo.
The city in 2002 developed 26.42 acres of federally approved “palustrine emergent wetlands.” Parts of that area near North Platte’s wastewater treatment plant can be used to offset wetlands damage from city projects or other entities that buy credits from the city.
Council members also will consider a resolution adding no-parking zones on both sides of the Willow Street Loop, which connects to West Seventh Street and runs under the north end of North Willow’s Union Pacific viaduct.
