General:
- The Kearney Community Hall Board held four formal meetings in 2017
- We worked with Dennis Kirven and Red Path Ranch to conduct survey, county subdivision process, and agreement followed for deed. Contingent Deed with Reverter and Purchase Right was recorded for 1.89 acres. It “replaces and extinguishes that certain easement from Karl Hepp, grantor, to Kearney Community Club, dated July 13, 1956…” which authorized use of the Hall on the .8 acres upon which the Hall sits. This additional acreage will accommodate a septic system and parking.
- On two occasions the painted “E” on K-E-A-R-N- “E” -Y on the Hall was painted over with white paint.
