Council approves museum, zoning change, multiple contracts and budget items; votes were unanimous
Summary
In a single meeting the council adopted Ordinance 4217 to create the Bellevue Museum, approved Ordinance 4216 to require conditional use permits for self-storage in specified manufacturing districts, awarded a major streets resurfacing contract, and approved several contracts and resolutions including a $4.2 million OPPD transformer waiver and a $175,000 settlement.
The Bellevue City Council took a slate of votes on June 2, 2026, passing ordinances, resolutions and procurement actions. Most votes were recorded as unanimous "all voting in favor." Key approvals included:
- Ordinance 4217 (adopted): Establishment of the Bellevue Museum (council asked staff to finalize an MOU with the Sarpy County Historical Society and draft board and director responsibilities).
- Ordinance 4216 (adopted): Amendments to zoning code sections to remove self-storage as a permitted use in specified flex/light and heavy manufacturing districts and require conditional-use permits for such facilities; existing facilities are grandfathered for current operations but expansions would require approval.
- Resolution 2026-10 (adopted): Award of the Bellevue Major Streets resurfacing project to Oldcastle Materials Midwest Company (doing business as Omni Engineering) in an amount not to exceed $1,771,336.10.
- Resolution 2026-11 (adopted): Approval of the Sarpy County and City wastewater agency FY 2026–2027 budget.
- Contract approvals and authorizations: including the firearm range construction contract (Item 16A, amended amount not to exceed $501,644), amendment with Skimmer Associates for reconstruction projects (16C, $699,960), OPPD transformer and cable for Quill Creek lift station (16F, $4,200,060), easement acquisitions for WW26 interceptor (16G, 16H), and a settlement and mutual release with Earl Johnson (16K, not to exceed $175,000). The council also approved multiple other routine payments and final project quantities.
One contract line in the record (Item 16J, engineering services with Alfred Bennis and Company) included a figure transcribed as $163,000,323; that number appears inconsistent with the context and will need confirmation from city procurement records.
No votes were recorded as opposed in the transcript; each action above was recorded as passing.
