A Nebraska City man was sentenced to 12 to 18 months in prison Monday and placed on the sexual offender registry for his interactions with a 16-year-old runaway girl from Ohio.

David Albert Satrapa, 30, was arrested on Sept. 5 for possession of pornography, while at the same time, Nebraska City police found the runaway near his apartment.

   The Nebraska City Planning Commission approved new sign regulations Wednesday night that ban new pole signs and outline restrictions for monument signs.
   “We were lacking in a lot of our definitions,” Zoning Administrator Dan Giittinger said.
   The modified sign ordinance now states that “free-standing on-site signs mounted on poles or posts in any zoning district shall be prohibited.”
   “New pole signs are no longer going to be constructed in the town,” Giittinger said.

   Nebraska City’s over-50 crowd may soon have another option for entertainment Tuesday and Thursday nights.  The city may add a “senior night” at the pool after the normal closing time.  Seniors would be charged $1 for pool admission between 8 and 9 p.m.  The pool closes to the general public at 8 p.m.
