Gage County Council Approves $1.1M Claims and Projects for Courthouse Renovation
The Gage County Board of Supervisors convened on July 9, 2025, at 8:45 AM, beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance. The meeting included a review and approval of the consent agenda, which encompassed several key items.

The board approved claims totaling $1,130,902.75, including significant payments to Johnny's Welding Inc. and RL Team and Construction Inc. The latter claim, amounting to $56,807.21, was discussed separately due to a conflict of interest from one of the supervisors. Both claims were ultimately approved with votes of 6 in favor and one abstention.

In addition to financial matters, the board approved specifications and called for bids on two courthouse projects: lighting upgrades and East Grama projects, with bids scheduled to be opened on August 6, 2025. The board also declared several vehicles and equipment as surplus, including a 2003 Dodge Durango and a Husqvarna snowblower, which will be sold through Purple Wave.

Utility permits were granted to Northern Natural Gas and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Conservation and Survey Division. Northern Natural Gas will temporarily close Gage Road for pipeline maintenance, while UNL will conduct boring exploration at multiple locations to assess bedrock depth.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for public comments and future agenda items, emphasizing the board's commitment to community engagement. Overall, the meeting addressed significant financial approvals and infrastructure projects that will impact Gage County in the coming months.
