Papillion renews five‑year agreement with Papillion Community Foundation
Summary
The City of Papillion approved a five‑year agreement with the Papillion Community Foundation to formalize support for community events and downtown projects; foundation leaders addressed the council before the unanimous vote.
The City of Papillion on May 6 approved a five‑year agreement with the Papillion Community Foundation intended to formalize the cityʼs support for community events and local projects, including Papillion Days and Winter Wonderland.
Jacob Bessard, president of the Papillion Community Foundation board, introduced foundation leadership and thanked the council for continued support. “Just thank you all for your continued support. These long term agreements help us to make good long term strategic planning as we look to support the city and support the events,” Bessard said.
Board vice president Travis Jacot and treasurer Mike Roskalas joined Bessard at the podium and representatives noted the foundation helps produce hallmark events and supports downtown projects, including improvements tied to the park renovation. Mayor (name not specified) and Councilman Mummgaard both offered public praise for the foundationʼs role in sustaining community events and organizational professionalism; Mummgaard said the foundation had matured and that the city’s long relationship with the foundation supports Papillion Days and similar events.
The resolution to approve the agreement (Resolution R250084) was moved by Councilman Mummgaard and seconded by Councilman Stubbe and passed by a recorded vote of seven ayes, zero nays. Council discussion praised the foundation and noted city staff support from public works, police and fire as essential to running large events.
The agreement renews the cityʼs formal relationship with the foundation for five years and recognizes increased costs since the prior memorandum of understanding. The resolution did not specify funding amounts or new city line‑item commitments in the meeting record; those fiscal details are included in the agreement on file with the City Clerk.
The council thanked outgoing and returning foundation leaders and noted the foundationʼs role in planning Papillion Days; no public opposition was recorded in the meeting minutes.
