WIFIA loan reserve fund: The Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 2025-252 to create a separate WIFIA loan reserve fund required by the county's service agreement with the Sarpy County Wastewater Agency. Dan Tlaikas, the county chief financial officer, said the reserve will begin to be funded in fiscal year 2026. Commissioner Kelly moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Burmeister seconded. The motion carried; one commissioner, Mixon, was recorded absent.

Authorized transfers: The board approved Resolution 2025-249 authorizing the permanent transfers included in the FY26 budget. The county fiscal office said a list of transfers was included in the agenda packet. The motion passed on a motion by Commissioner Burmeister, seconded by Commissioner Warren; Mixon was absent for the vote.

Interlocal agreements (package): The board approved a package of 10 interlocal agreements (recorded on the agenda as Resolutions 2025-234 through 2025-243) with municipalities and regional partners including the cities of Bellevue, La Vista and Papillion, the Sarpy County Wastewater Agency and Papio NRD. County staff described agreements covering: IT services reimbursement (moving from a flat-fee to time-and-usage cost model), hosted server services for the wastewater agency, a county-led GIS agreement covering multiple cities and a set of public-safety software agreements that support shared law enforcement and fire systems. County staff said similar arrangements have been in place for more than 20 years. Commissioner Warren moved to approve the package and Commissioner Kelly seconded; the motion carried with Mixon absent.

Board of Equalization homestead exemption cases: The Board of Equalization considered two homestead exemption protests that had been tabled from Aug. 12. For the protest filed by Joyce Zielberg (Lot 15, Lakewood Village, Parcel 011582045), the board said it has not received a required doctor's note; county staff noted the applicant has until June 30, 2026 to provide documentation but the board voted to table the protest until its Sept. 23 meeting to allow staff to follow up. Commissioner Kelly moved to table; Commissioner Warren seconded and the motion carried. For the protest filed by Judy Brownfield (Lot 163, Harrison Woods, Parcel 011575399), county staff confirmed the clerk's office had received the signed doctor's note. Commissioner Burmeister moved to approve the homestead exemption and Commissioner Warren seconded. The motion passed; one commissioner, Nixon, was recorded absent for that vote.

All motions and resolutions listed above were adopted as published on the agenda; no executive sessions were held and no public comments were recorded for these items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board Meetings - Sep 09 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Sarpy County boards voted Sept. 9, 2025 to create a WIFIA loan reserve fund, authorize FY26 transfers, approve a package of interlocal agreements with cities and agencies, table one homestead exemption and approve another.","taxTitle","Sarpy County, Nebraska","taxId",3788,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6474748,"Sarpy County adopts $314 million fiscal year 2026 budget, holds levy steady",95,1375000,1470000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5739687-681f17d55d786000c88577429a2c771f&start=1375&end=1470","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5739687-681f17d55d786000c88577429a2c771f/thumbnail_1375000.jpg","/articles/6474748/Sarpy-County/Nebraska/Sarpy-County-adopts-314-million-fiscal-year-2026-budget-holds-levy-steady","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474748-3c7c9d9de95d548b88ca9f3a1eaf8370/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160263&Signature=CRmqPEuO5iKlungHrJT537ABQUp6MCkjBrHyZwNdHsvmzqoDsPzdKVy0VdhRiDZyz5SK4TFpMSmyoGhCsPk~~Km~IouDGcAZMSjzKOVevEcpE25HF0ZpZr484vxgqcIjFdQNa3eM~q3eypHVUu7GpEQ2lFlIkc~e54aJRTWIJYgHjqmt2Gn5NXzjRyu6RKhYEIR9Pj6juR05sw-Qi24dWm6DQYcRWplBpi4rXESHtcQJ6PSo0l~4hMGNJ912CMPJgSvUWGFNVC1ZvrFkKyBa1WTuwou0ItA1zTJxnCdgWuB2ZIA1ozCpgVtJsQCB1aKBNIbKGsEDYNEFrteMiuE5Iw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 9, 2025, approved a $314,000,000 fiscal year 2026 budget and maintained the county's property tax levy at 0.28496, county Chief Financial Officer Dan Tlaikas said.

The budget adopted by the board includes $84,359,589 in property tax authority, a figure Tlaikas said keeps the levy at the same rate as the previous year. The budget was presented to the board Aug. 26 and followed a public hearing before the Sept. 9 vote.

“Your vision and guidance throughout the process is much appreciated,” Tlaikas told commissioners as he closed his presentation, thanking the budget committee and fiscal staff for their work on the multi-month process that began in March. The budget committee named in the meeting included Commissioners Mixon and Warren; county administration staff noted contributors from the fiscal office: Jenny Rock and Michaela Gansmer, and deputy administrator Scott Bobick.

Commissioner Kelly moved to adopt the budget and Commissioner Warren seconded the motion. The motion passed with the commissioners present voting in favor; one commissioner, Mixon, was recorded absent.

The board's adoption authorizes department spending and the set of transfers and fund adjustments that county staff said are needed to implement the fiscal year 2026 plan. County staff indicated the budget starts the fiscal year funding schedule and that several administrative transfers are authorized separately under a companion resolution.

Following the vote, commissioners offered brief thanks to fiscal staff for leading the process; no public comments were recorded during the meeting. The county administrator and fiscal office will carry out the administrative steps required to publish and implement the adopted budget.","On Sept. 9, 2025, the Sarpy County Board of Commissioners approved a $314,000,000 fiscal year 2026 budget, keeping the county property tax levy at 0.28496 and authorizing $84,359,589 in property tax authority.","actionData","errors"]
