Kit Boesch, county hu- man services administrator, said she learned last week that dozens of families were struggling after running out of propane because of the recent cold snap. propane ran out, much faster than it should she said.

Many propane compa- nies deliver propane to a home unless the cus- tomer is willing to pay to have a tank filled entirely. Tanks typically hold 200 to 300 gallons. With prices at nearly $4 a gallon recent- ly, $800 to $1,200, which many rural families were unable to bear, Boesch said. have that kind of she said. they can afford, say, 100 gallons, or Two local companies were willing to deliver par- tial tanks full, but they charged a $60 fee, she said.

Lincoln Community Foundation, $1,000. United Way of Lin- coln and Lancaster County, $2,000. Woods Charitable Fund, $3,000.

Behrens said the county office as concerned about declaring the Midtown Center and former youth detention center surplus, although concerns have been raised about selling the former youth detention center as well. Should the county sell the former detention cen- ter to a nonprofit organiza- tion such as CenterPointe, that organization probably would need to seek a special permit to have zoning on the property changed from public to residential, said city planner Paul Barnes. County Board Chairman Larry Hudkins said Center- Pointe also would need to figure out how to pay for the building since most of the grants it receives allow it to spend money only on rent- ing property, not buying it.

Barnes said the city- county Planning Depart- ment also is concerned about the potential histori- cal significance of Trabert Hall, which once served as the first general hos- pital and has potential his- torically significant archi- tectural features. A historical significance declaration could affect the kind of funding available for rehabilitating the building, said Barnes. Reach Kevin Abourezk at 402-473-7225 or journalstar.com.
