Summary
The council approved Pay Request No. 12 for the Gretna Community Complex ($1,206,906.98), several water‑main pay requests, awarded the Schram Road/186th Street water‑main contract to Kersten Construction and approved two sewer rate reductions and subdivision agreements.
GRETNA, Neb. — On June 2 the Gretna City Council approved a set of consent‑agenda payments and infrastructure contracts, including a six‑figure pay request for the Gretna Community Complex and awards for water‑main work.
The council approved the consent agenda by motion (Jeremy Westengaard; seconded by Bill Proctor), which bundled claims and multiple construction pay requests. Among the listed items was Pay Request No. 12 from Weitz Company for the Gretna Community Complex in the amount of $1,206,906.98. The consent agenda also included pay requests for water‑main improvements: Harvest Creek and Lincoln Road (Cedar Construction Pay Request No. 7 — $85,891.13), Aspen Creek West (Vrba Construction Pay Request No. 1 — $87,755.54), and Sterling Chase and Capehart Road (Kersten Construction Pay Request No. 4 — $118,207.00). The consent motion carried 4‑0.
Separately, after reviewing bids the council awarded the construction contract for Schram Road and 186th Street water‑main improvements to Kersten Construction (motion by Kara Alexander; seconded by Lauren Liebentritt). That award was approved unanimously.
The council also approved two sewer‑rate reduction requests: one submitted by Cindy Hanssen (10112 S. 188th St.) and another by David Stafford (212 Shamrock Rd.). Staff comments on those items were given by Kandis Koozer; both reductions were approved by motions moved by Kara Alexander and recorded as unanimous votes.
The council approved subdivision, sewer connection and maintenance agreements with S.I.D. No. 383 and MRDP, LLC for the Woodland Subdivision (Lots 1–129 and Outlots A–E) on a motion by Bill Proctor. The meeting minutes record no dissent on these items.
The items taken together move forward multiple ongoing construction projects and utility adjustments. The council later entered an executive session for contract negotiations and personnel; no further detail on those discussions or follow‑up tasks is recorded in the excerpt.
