Jesse Arrett, Sarpy County emergency management director, said the replacements are part of an ARPA-funded outdoor warning-siren upgrade project the county has pursued over the last two years. Arrett said each new siren will double the coverage area of the current, obsolete units at those sites.

Commissioner Warren moved approval and Commissioner Burmeister seconded. The board recorded the vote as “ayes 5, nays none” and the motion carried.

Why it matters: Upgrading aging warning infrastructure aims to improve coverage for severe-weather and other public-safety alerts in two population centers in the county.","The board approved a task order with Federal Signal Corporation, funded with ARPA dollars, to replace obsolete outdoor warning sirens in Gretna and Bellevue and double coverage at each site.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6364368,"Sarpy County lowers speed limit on Capehart Frontage Road to 25 mph",198,3910000,4108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2164870-7ecbdccdb5d735547fb6e98f67f862ae&start=3910&end=4108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2164870-7ecbdccdb5d735547fb6e98f67f862ae/thumbnail_3910000.jpg","/articles/6364368/Sarpy-County/Nebraska/Sarpy-County-lowers-speed-limit-on-Capehart-Frontage-Road-to-25-mph","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6364368-f6b434b82892384092cd0a61e70cf034/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169160&Signature=ToY-eHGG13JT0OS2vrGsDeustAo2C4JZLawqmbAG6A1P-nPZQIrKk9o8DBUAOqHdrrSX2Z9T44diRskANcxx0U9nJU0a4w-BPmchEAEsCBnhorM3ETBAiGFY13J~AEqmZuKg-ubqpoJD7c-gfic97g00gFKING4CsulQaHYw6xbl-PWmG1s5EGvmg8SbA1VNfSANVpgpt3uKZVXOftkDJatkP8n2S8jJGczcT26iQbvqL3Hd5Bv9XRINbcEkxxbOeBRD2Y7Aqpf5qNiLAAyWvDpGV~fYnOLaqFvJ0Qd5Di-GgzHNq3YS3sgsi7YIuB4jjHftWWPFninqs~l-eppjbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved a resolution to reduce the posted speed limit on a remnant of Capehart Frontage Road from 50 miles per hour to 25 mph and to place appropriate signage.

Zach, a senior public works engineer, told the board the frontage road was left after the realignment of Capehart Road and now functions as a short neighborhood connector between 72nd Street and 60th Street; GIS maps for some delivery drivers still showed a 50 mph designation. Commissioners confirmed the change would not create an abrupt 50-to-25 mph transition on a through highway because the frontage road connects to 68th Avenue and covers a short distance.

Commissioner Kelly moved approval and Commissioner Burmeister seconded. The board recorded the vote as “ayes 5, nays none.”

Why it matters: Posting an appropriate 25 mph limit and signage should align posted speed with the road’s current function as a local access roadway and reduce speed-related safety risks for neighborhood users.","The county approved a resolution to post a 25 mph speed limit and signage on a short frontage road that now functions as a neighborhood street between 72nd and 60th streets.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6364373,"Sarpy County approves Cornish Ridge rezoning and preliminary plat for eight-lot subdivision",667,3242000,3909000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2164870-7ecbdccdb5d735547fb6e98f67f862ae&start=3242&end=3909","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2164870-7ecbdccdb5d735547fb6e98f67f862ae/thumbnail_3242000.jpg","/articles/6364373/Sarpy-County/Nebraska/Sarpy-County-approves-Cornish-Ridge-rezoning-and-preliminary-plat-for-eight-lot-subdivision","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6364373-7b6a65d162b51d2e1dd81da01200d36a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169160&Signature=KuzMjuGWCpfwia0PwZd0XBdgB9RUt0RQ8AQzaHAMVr695Ow9Qlb8Aky9xux95Q7f6zWednPfEid9TUPU60yRgU8bRmfLbQIf9OeT~5nZRu3gAXpiXcOa9RZichAvpdR~ic0dyRXfIv1QP8S0WujDz17FI3D7FRzFFs-CLmAGPEFtQFtopuDC0jOlmpAP9Lsg~BPtDfVhBeXPSy5h~wyauKBx8Sx7LPWVnJ519qqLLptPh46Q9GQDYULSA3t8nIw7kyWU4dc1jmDdoK4BesIT27DoqlOYGKoXu~xDWJK6D49XtAiP0K98B5dtZDvRQcccaQ~3~oZ624df0PUdCjL1nA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a rezoning and preliminary plat for Cornish Ridge, a proposed subdivision of eight residential lots and seven outlots on the southern 55 acres of a 95-acre parcel northeast of 100th and Cornish Road.

Kelly Jack, Sarpy County planning coordinator, told the board the application proposes rezoning the subject parcel from AG (agriculture) to RE-2 (residential estates) and a preliminary plat for eight lots, each larger than 3 acres. The subdivision would use a community well for water, individual septic systems, electricity from OPPD and propane for gas service. The development is within the county’s conservation zone, which requires preserving 40 percent of the development; the applicant set aside about 20.06 acres in outlots to meet that requirement.

Mitch Scanlon, speaking for the applicant, said the northern 40 acres of the parent parcel will be deeded to an adjacent landowner and remain in agricultural use; the existing single-family residence will remain on proposed Lot 2. He told commissioners that the developer’s well contractor had no concern that the community well proposal would affect nearby wells and estimated the development would generate roughly 15–20 vehicle trips.

The planning commission recommended approval on Dec. 17, 2024, by a 6–2 vote. County staff recommended approval subject to coordination on the community water system and addressing comments in the staff report. Planning coordinator Jack noted that the rezoning does not take effect until a future final plat is approved and recorded; the final plat will require a subdivision agreement.

On a motion by Commissioner Warren, seconded by Commissioner Burmeister, the board approved the rezoning (Resolution 2025-24) and, on a separate motion, the preliminary plat (Resolution 2025-23). The board recorded the vote as “ayes 5, nays none.”

Why it matters: The Cornish Ridge approvals set the stage for a low-density estate subdivision in an area the county maps for future agricultural use but allows RE-2 development; the approvals also include conditions to protect wells and conservation acreage and require a final plat and subdivision agreement before the zoning change is effective.","The county board approved a rezoning from agricultural to RE-2 and a preliminary plat for Cornish Ridge, a subdivision of eight residential lots and seven outlots on the southern portion of a 95-acre parcel northeast of 100th and Cornish Road.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6364376,"OPPD tells Sarpy County commissioners it has added generation and is planning more to meet rapid growth",2069,1268000,3337000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2164870-7ecbdccdb5d735547fb6e98f67f862ae&start=1268&end=3337","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2164870-7ecbdccdb5d735547fb6e98f67f862ae/thumbnail_1268000.jpg","/articles/6364376/Sarpy-County/Nebraska/OPPD-tells-Sarpy-County-commissioners-it-has-added-generation-and-is-planning-more-to-meet-rapid-growth","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6364376-ca7d2fc62e7f52d0052ce5a8e754c841/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169160&Signature=kQO0q3a1L79CUNmrZ9vN3R~ItNJs-m4ww4Sws7UHVZiQRLhm6-DZ395-Bhd~DI17-yFNEf1H-0i53n-ROlb5LRZjoe0kltJJveNi1K1GMYAZYm21H~f54wCCEhqVcxbFTrN8Z8lUxeHHg~ZTGZIbx0UXkpHzxvWiB~D8efk1zToKwZNtouOEKVfKVAWRfpxFky8g~H6T0EuCLLvnFXNGj4nCcHdjA0m7ON6pUG37pPZZKrL1qbQmOwiivrfzD2Z6za9UMUw7~xYbJuc4KJh0Pd5IFBw2L6eNBfY1qW1NJyf1mk7n4Ypjm8p8lDMzeDK~2OaLrgm-V0Q-mFNqCV4XtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Omaha Public Power District officials on Tuesday briefed the Sarpy County Board of Commissioners on a surge in electricity demand and the utility’s work to add generating capacity, transmission lines and substations to preserve reliability.

Tim McRaevey, OPPD vice president for customer service and public affairs, told commissioners that the utility has moved from almost no load growth in 2016–18 to requests that at times approach or exceed 100 megawatts a year. He said OPPD has brought new natural-gas and solar resources online and contracted many renewable megawatts to respond.

McRaevey said OPPD has added two gas-fired stations — Turtle Creek (near 168th and Fairview Road) and Standing Bear Lake (near 120th and Military) — and a solar farm, Platte View Solar in Saunders County. “Turtle Creek station . . . will have the ability to generate about 450 megawatts,” he said, and Standing Bear Lake about 150 megawatts. He also said Platte View Solar is an approximately 81-megawatt facility that came online in May of last year.

The utility described an additional package of capacity that includes a planned expansion at Turtle Creek (an additional engine of roughly 225 megawatts) and adding roughly 675 megawatts by installing three engines at an existing Cass County facility. McRaevey also said OPPD has contracted more than 1,300 megawatts of renewable generation in recent years.

McRaevey said OPPD expects some of the new resources to reach final accreditation with the Southwest Power Pool by midyear, though accreditation timelines and long lead times for large components — such as transformers — remain constraints. He said the Turtle Creek facility is operable and being tested now and that interim accreditation allows limited operation while OPPD pursues full SPP accreditation.

Commissioners asked about the new units’ fuel capability, how often the units would run, and the role of data centers in demand growth. McRaevey said the new units were built with dual-fuel capability — natural gas plus fuel oil — to improve reliability and to meet accreditation requirements. He said modeling projects Turtle Creek to run roughly 15–18 percent of the time, “but its whole point for being there is to be able to generate when we and our businesses need electricity.”

On data centers, McRaevey said demand can vary widely by customer but that some data campuses can reach “hundreds of megawatts” of capacity as they expand. He said data-center customers generally take market-rate service that passes wholesale cost volatility through to the customer and can participate as offtakers on renewable projects to meet sustainability goals.

The utility also described local transmission and distribution investments: substation expansions in Gretna and Bellevue, the completed Sarpy Southwest transmission project, the planned Cass-to-Sarpy transmission project, and a 180th Street corridor infrastructure project. McRaevey said these projects and planned distribution work are aimed at maintaining reliability and affordability across OPPD’s footprint.

Commissioners raised security concerns. McRaevey said OPPD has an “intense focus” on both physical security and cybersecurity, adheres to North American Electric Reliability Corporation requirements for bulk electric assets, and participates with law enforcement and intelligence agencies on threat awareness.

Why it matters: Sarpy County leaders said they expect rapid growth as sewer and other infrastructure come online and want to coordinate with OPPD to avoid surprises in electric service and reliability. OPPD’s briefing outlines both near-term operating steps and longer-term investments that will affect how and when new development receives service.

McRaevey and other OPPD staff said they would follow up with commissioners on certain details — such as precise employment projections for plant expansions and timing/location specifics for additional engines — and welcomed continued coordination with county planners.","Omaha Public Power District officials reported recent additions and planned expansions of generating capacity, transmission and substations to support rising demand in Sarpy County tied to housing, commercial growth and large data centers.","actionData","errors"]
