Lawyers for Glen and Teresa Lanman have filed a motion for a rehearing by the Nebraska Supreme Court of its recent ruling which denied authority to form a village at Johnson Lake. The state's high court affirmed the Oct. 2007 ruling of District Judge Donald Rowlands, which confirmed the Dawson County Board's denial of a petition to form a village in nine neighborhoods on the northeast corner of the lake in Dawson county. On April 3rd, the court determined that Johnson Lake is incorporated as an S.I.D. and Nebraska law says a village cannot incorporate where a governmental corporation already exists. SID#1 attorneys, Robert Huck and Dave Skalka of Croker, Huck et al Law Firm in Omaha received notice that the Lanman's lawyers, Terry & Josh Barber have filed a motion for a rehearing of the court's decision. Their memorandum brief assigned error to the court's recent unanimous ruling. The Johnson Lake S.I.D. was incorporated in February 2003 to address the need for a taxing base to install a sanitary sewer system at the lake.
