SECOND SESSION
LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION 415
Introduced by Conrad, 46.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this resolution is to conduct a study to examine
current practices under Nebraska law related to the designation of real
property as blighted and substandard. The study will evaluate ways to ensure
that affected neighborhood associations are notified and consulted before any
such designation is finalized.
The study shall include, but need not be limited to, the following:
(1) A review of the statutes and administrative procedures governing the
identification and declaration of blighted and substandard properties within
municipalities in Nebraska;
(2) An examination of the role of neighborhood associations in maintaining
and improving the quality of life within their communities;
(3) An evaluation of the existing mechanisms for public notice and
participation in the blighted and substandard designation process;
(4) The development of recommendations for requiring municipal authorities
to notify and engage with neighborhood associations prior to declaring a parcel
within their association as blighted or substandard; and
(5) The identification of best practices from other states or
municipalities regarding early engagement of neighborhood organizations in
blight-related decisions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE HUNDRED NINTH
LEGISLATURE OF NEBRASKA, SECOND SESSION:
1. That the Urban Affairs Committee of the Legislature shall be designated
