Sarpy County commissioners approve tax corrections and employee-recognition resolution, table Papillion zoning transfer and approve Aldi liquor license

The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to approve multiple tax-correction items, adopt a resolution recognizing employees who have reached milestone years of service, grant a Class D off-sale liquor license for an Aldi store in Gretna and table a planning resolution about transferring zoning jurisdiction to the City of Papillion until March 25. The board also entered executive session to discuss real estate and litigation and later returned to open session; no substantive outcomes from that executive session were reported on the record.

The board approved the consent equalization agenda and several tax-correction batches that had been carried over from January 2025. For the Board of Equalization items, the board recorded a series of motions to approve multiple tax-correction groups (as read on the record), each carried by unanimous recorded votes. Specific tax-correction identifiers were read on the record during the meeting but portions of those identifiers were garbled on the transcript; the board approved the groups as presented and recorded the vote as five ayes, none opposed.

On the commission agenda, the board adopted Resolution 2025-549 honoring county employees who reached milestone years of service. The board moved the resolution, with a second, and the motion carried on a unanimous vote.

The board’s planning-and-zoning item asking to transfer zoning jurisdiction of property generally along the north side of Platteview Road to the city of Papillion was not decided; Commissioner Kelly moved to table the resolution so commissioners could study the matter and consult planning staff. The board voted to table the item until March 25; recorded vote was unanimous.

In a public hearing, the board approved an application from Aldi Inc., doing business as Aldi No. 114, for a Class D beer, wine and spirits off-sale liquor license for property at 19311 Oakmont Drive, Gretna. The motion to recommend approval to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission carried with five ayes and no nays.

The board also voted to go into executive session to discuss real estate and litigation; the motion to enter executive session passed unanimously and the board later voted to return to open session by unanimous recorded vote.
