The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners approved a package of routine resolutions and agreements during its Nov. 4 meeting.

Sanitary improvement district: After a public hearing with no public comment, commissioners approved Resolution 2020Five-285 accepting title to Outlots B and D from the Sugar Creek Homeowners Association for Sanitary Improvement District 223 (Sugar Creek).

Liquor/catering endorsement: Commissioners approved forwarding a recommendation to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission for a catering endorsement to an existing Class C liquor license for Falconwood Park and Hullabaloo Music Group at 705 Allied Road in Bellevue. The public hearing drew no speakers.

Asphalt overlay design agreement: The board approved a professional services agreement with Alfred Benesch & Company (Benesch) for design services on various asphalt overlay projects (project C7725-1) in the amount of $66,372. Scott Bovec, deputy administrator, said design work will occur through the winter/spring with construction planned in the summer.

Legislative policy: Commissioners approved a resolution refining the county's legislative committee processes. The change clarifies membership and gives the legislative committee authority to take positions on bills without prior full‑board approval when rapid action is needed; the board approved the change with a ministerial correction to the text requested by staff.

Employee benefits renewal: The board approved calendar‑year 2026 health, dental and ancillary insurance renewals. Human resources director Jody Riddle reported a 2.7% overall premium increase. For single coverage the employee cost rises by about $3 per month and for family coverage by about $12.58 per month; the county continues stop‑loss coverage with Sun Life Financial and dental/vision with Mutual of Omaha.
