Hunters of upland and small game, waterfowl, fall turkey and deer will receive emailed invitations to participate in surveys about their harvest and hunting experiences. These surveys, which the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission uses to estimate harvest, hunter participation and satisfaction — and to inform management decisions — will be emailed over several weeks, beginning Feb. 14. Surveys generally are available to participants for two weeks starting from the initial invitation.

The Cambridge City Council met in regular session on Monday, February 21, 2022. Council Member Derek Rabrun was absent from the meeting. A Public Hearing was held to consider adding car and truck sales to “C-1” as a conditional use. The Public Hearing closed without comment. Discussion was then held as to the difference between “C-1” and “C-2” commercial zoning. Members also discussed the conditional use permits for “C- 1” zoning. City Clerk/Treasurer Kandra Kinne made copies of the Zoning Map so Council Members could see what areas are zoned “C-1” and “C-2.” A motion was made and seconded to approve adding car and truck sales to “C-1” as a conditional use. The motion passed. Council then approved Consent Agenda Items with no discussion.
