Papillion honors firefighter promotion; administrators report on police renovation and I-80 interchange
Summary
The council recognized Ryan Bossert’s promotion to Fire Apparatus Engineer and received updates on the police department renovation (front entrance temporarily closed), the I-80/192nd Street interchange public open house and ongoing fire department capital planning including HVAC replacement at Station 4.
Papillion — The Feb. 17 council meeting opened with a special presentation: Fire Chief Rob Gotch announced the promotion of firefighter Ryan Bossert to the position of Fire Apparatus Engineer (FAE), and Bossert’s daughter, Sarah Lacey, participated in the pinning ceremony.
"So, I'm pleased to announce that firefighter Ryan Bossert here with his family, Sarah Lacey, has been promoted to the role of FAE," Fire Chief Rob Gotch said, and he described Bossert's driving experience, certifications, and positive character in department service.
During the administrators' report, Miss Powers updated the council that the police department renovation remains on schedule though the front entrance is temporarily closed and that visitors should use designated parking and call for assistance. She also noted that the city is actively participating on the Nebraska Department of Transportation design committee for the new I-80/192nd Street interchange and that public comment on the preliminary design is open through Feb. 27. The Papillion Fire MFO is developing a capital improvement plan and Station 4 is receiving an HVAC replacement, with La Vista contributing 50% of that cost.
The council applauded the promotion and received staff updates; no final decisions were required for the administrative items discussed.
