City of Wahoo

At the City Council meeting held on April 8, 2021, the City Council voted to change the regular meeting date from Thursdays to the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, beginning in May, 2021. The second April meeting will be held on April 22, 2021, at 7:00 p.m.  The first May meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. on May 11, 2021.

The Mayor and Council of the City of Wahoo meet regularly on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Wahoo Public Library, 637 n Maple St. They also convene as needed for special meetings which can be called by either the Mayor or by three of the six Council members. All meetings are open to the public and are held in accordance with the Open Meetings Act established by the Nebraska State Legislature.

Items for consideration by the Mayor and Council at their regular meetings must be submitted to the City Clerk's Office by the close of business (5:00 p.m.) on the Thursday prior to the meeting. While each agenda is kept continually current and available for public inspection on request, the agenda is not final until posted on the Friday before the meeting. The City of Wahoo makes agendas available by email, on this website, and by posting at the Wahoo Post Office, First National Bank and City Hall. If you would like to have your name added to the email distribution list, please send an email to fasel@wahoo.ne.us.

Special meetings may be called from time to time as the need arises. Agendas for special meetings are posted at least 24 hours prior to the meeting time in the same manner as agendas for regular meetings of the Council.

The City of Wahoo uses a worksheet to prepare items for the Council's consideration. If you would like to have an item added to the next regular meeting of the Mayor and Council, please print off the Agenda Request Worksheet, complete the worksheet, and return it to the City Clerk's Office at 605 North Broadway along with any supporting documentation. Once the item is received, the Clerk will contact you regarding the exact date and time of the meeting.

The minutes of the Mayor and Council must be made available to the public within 10 days of the meeting or by the next meeting, whichever comes first. If the minutes you are looking for are not available below, please contact the City Clerk's Office at 402-443-3222.

Project Overview

The City of Wahoo Utilities will be moving from manual meter reading to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) for residential electricity, water, and gas utilities.

• AMI includes technologies such as “smart meters” that accurately and securely enable two-way information between customers and the utilities while providing real-time consumption data.
• By switching to AMI, Wahoo Utilities will gather timely utility data to better understand community usage patterns and establish a utility of the future.
• The transition from manual meter reading to AMI is part of normal Wahoo Utilities operations and will have no direct cost to customers.

Upgrading from manual meter reading to AMI will improve utility management, allowing customers and Wahoo Utilities to make better informed decisions.

Wahoo Utilities will begin a four-year rollout plan in 2021 to replace or retrofit residential utility meters. 

• All homes within Wahoo city limits will have their electricity, water, and gas meters updated to AMI.
• City representatives will coordinate with homeowners prior to updating water and gas meters within homes.
• The installation process will be rolled out by billing cycle (about one-fourth of the community each phase).
