Papillion officials report two sergeant vacancies, police station remodel on schedule and on budget
Summary
City administrative staff told the Papillion City Council on June 3 that the police department has two sergeant vacancies and that the police station remodel remains on schedule and on budget, with major interior work expected this summer and overall completion projected for late summer 2026.
At the June 3 Papillion City Council meeting, city administrative staff provided an update on police staffing and the police station remodel, saying the department currently has two sergeant vacancies and that the renovation remains “on schedule and still on budget.”
The update came from Miss Powers, who delivered the administrative report. She said, “There are currently 2 sergeant vacancies in the police department. 1 is due to the creation of the SRO sergeant position that we're partnering with the school district on, and 1 is due to an upcoming retirement.”
Miss Powers outlined the hiring timeline and said interviews were being completed that week. She added that the council should expect “two oath of offices at the next council meeting for those promotions on the June 17 agenda.”
On the remodel, Miss Powers described construction milestones: footings for an outbuilding have been poured and footings for the expansion were expected to be poured that week or the next “weather depending.” She said the patrol room should be finished “within the next 4 to 6 weeks” and the locker rooms “hopefully be done this summer.” The overall project, she said, is slated to be “completed late summer of 2026.”
Miss Powers acknowledged contractors and project partners by name and thanked them for keeping the work on schedule: “I do wanna give a shout out and a thank you to our contractor, Sampson Construction, and our architects, Carlson West, and also, our internal staff for building and fire code safety and our police department, Chief Whitted, for everything they're doing on the project to keep it on budget and on time and and on focus.”
Council members did not take further action on staffing or construction at the June 3 meeting; the update was informational. The council is scheduled to consider promotions and administer oaths at its June 17 meeting, per the timeline provided by Miss Powers.
