The county boards of counties and the governing bodies of cities and villages may establish an emergency medical service, including the provision of scheduled and unscheduled ambulance service, as a governmental service either within or without the county or municipality, as the case may be. The county board or governing body may contract with any city, person, firm, or corporation licensed as an emergency medical service for emergency medical care by out-of-hospital emergency care providers. Each may enter into an agreement with the other under the Interlocal Cooperation Act or Joint Public Agency Act for the purpose of establishing an emergency medical service or may provide a separate service for itself. Public funds may be expended therefor, and a reasonable service fee may be charged to the user. Before any such service is established under the authority of this section, the county board or the governing bodies of cities and villages shall hold a public hearing after giving at least ten days' notice thereof, which notice shall include a brief summary of the general plan for establishing such service, including an estimate of the initial cost and the possible continuing cost of operating such service. If the board or governing body after such hearing determines that an emergency medical service for emergency medical care by out-of-hospital emergency care providers is needed, it may proceed as authorized in this section. The authority granted in this section shall be cumulative and supplementary to any existing powers heretofore granted. Any county board of counties and the governing bodies of cities and villages may pay their cost for such service out of available general funds or may levy a tax for the purpose of providing the service, which levy shall be in addition to all other taxes and shall be in addition to restrictions on the levy of taxes provided by statute, except that when a fire district provides the service the county shall pay the cost for the county service by levying a tax on that property not in a fire district providing the service. The levy shall be subject to section 77-3443.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. IMPEACHMENT AS A REMEDY IMPEACHMENT AS A REMEDY By C. S. Ports* On April 1, 1926, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, after a series of committee investigations covering a period of more than a year, and after a vigorous and very earnest debate of three days duration,' resolved by a vote of nearly five to one2 to prefer impeachment charges against George W. English, United States district judge for the eastern district of Illinois. A few days later the charges were presented to the Senate, but that body, on account of the pressure of other matters, postponed the trial of the case until a special session of the Senate called to meet on Novem- ber 10, 1926. In this way the ponderous machinery of impeachment was set in motion, and, but for the recent resignation of the respondent, we would have witnessed the tenth1 great national trial, with the ninety-six senators sitting as judge and jury and the House of Repre- sentatives, through its board of managers, adding to its inquisitorial functions previously performed, those of prosecutor on behalf of the nation.

TRANSITION: FROM IA TO STRUCTURAL BRANCH ORGANIZATION • Once it is obvious that the fire is not going to be contained quickly, the IC declares the incident a project fire. At this point the IC will assign someone the role of Structural Branch Director (STBD). • The STBD will then take control of the structure protection organization and assign supervisors and resources to the Advance and Active Groups (it may be advisable at this early point for the STBD to supervise the Active Group) set up additional water sites etc. • As leadership and resources become available, the Overhaul Group should be organized. • At this point in the organization all communications from the groups go through the STBD. STRUCTURAL BRANCH FULLY FUNCTIONAL: • The STBD will contact the Group Supervisors via low band radio or cell phone that Incident Command Post (ICP) is set up and the Structural Branch is functional.

Placzek INTRODUCTION The purpose of this work is to provide a resource for identifying and lo­ cating prestatehood legal materials in Nebraska. Documents and resources are organized in six categories: historical background, state constitution, ju­ dicial branch, legislative branch, executive branch, and municipal docu­ ments/county records. Where appropriate, an annotation is provided when a resource is discussed; where an annotation is redundant (e.g., session laws), a discussion of the document type is substituted for an annotation. Because materials from this era are often reprinted in multiple resources, some pub­ lications contain documents that fit into more than one category; a notation is made in each relevant category when this occurs.
