The City Engineer shall, when requested by the governing body,
make estimates of the cost of labor and material which may be done
or furnished by contract with the municipality, and make all surveys,
estimates, and calculations necessary to be made for the establishment
of grades, building of culverts, sewers, electric light system, waterworks,
power plant, public heating system, bridges, curbing, gutters, the
improvement of streets, and the erection and repair of buildings.
He shall perform such additional duties as the governing body may
require. It shall be his duty to make a record of the minutes of his
surveys and of all work done for the municipality and accurately make
such plats, sections, profiles, and maps as may be necessary in the
prosecution of any public work, which shall be public records and
belong to the municipality. (Neb. RS 16-320, 16-321)
The governing body may, whenever it deems it expedient, employ
a special engineer to make or assist in making any particular estimate
or survey. Any such estimate or survey shall have the same validity
and serve in all respects as though the same had been made by the
City Engineer. (Neb. RS 16-322)
