ORDINANCES THIRD READING AND RESOLUTIONS:
ORD. 1865 - An ordinance to amend Papillion Municipal Code § 35- 26( D) to
increase the amount allowed each year for the annual employee recognition
dinner to $ 50 per each elected official and employee - Christine Myers - 827-

January 7, 2020
1111. Motion to approve ORD. 1865 by Councilmember Engberg, second by
Councilmember Jaworski. Upon roll call vote, Sunde, Gaines, Glover, Jaworski, Stubbe,
and Engberg all voted yes. Voting no: none. Absent: Mumgaard and Kluch. Motion
passed.
RES. R20- 0003 — A resolution to grant consent to the resettlement of refugees
within the City of Papillion, pursuant to Presidential Executive Order No. 13888 —
Amber Powers — 827- 1778. Motion to RES.
R20- 0003 by Councilmember
approve
Stubbe, second by Councilmember Glover. Mayor Black called for proponents and
opponents. None came forward.
Councilmember Gaines asked for further explanation regarding this action. Ms. Powers
explained that Lutheran Family Services has identified at least one refugee in another
country who has immediate family in Papillion. Passage of this resolution would allow
the refugee, and any others in the program who have family in Papillion, to move to
town and receive grant money related to resettlement expenses.
Mayor Black explained that, if this resolution passes, the City would be enrolled in the
resettlement program and would therefore be notified when a refugee is relocated to
Papillion. However, once a refugee has been relocated to their primary city, they are
then free to go anywhere within the country. If the resolution is not passed, it doesn' t
necessarily mean refugees won' t come to Papillion, but that the City wouldn' t be
notified.
Chief Lyons explained that this is a refugee process, not an immigration process, and
that these refugees have been vetted very thoroughly. He noted that the vetting process
is lengthy and that these individuals would be considered among the safest entering the
country. He added that, with the help of grant money available through the program,
these individuals are generally able to find employment within a month or two.
Councilmember Sunde asked why this item only has one reading. Mayor Black noted
that this item is a resolution, which only requires one reading. Councilmember Sunde
thanked Mayor Black for the clarification and stated that he has concerns regarding the
refugee process.
Councilmember Engberg stated that this is not a sanctuary city designation and noted
that the purpose of the City' s enrollment in the resettlement program through passage
of this resolution would simply cause City officials to be notified when a refugee
requests to relocate to Papillion. He added that passage of this resolution is not an open
invitation to thousands of people; those in the program have to complete the vetting
process and have family in the area upon arrival.
Councilmember Glover asked if there are any guidelines refugees must follow prior to
moving from their primary resettlement community to other areas. Chief Lyons
explained that there is generally a 30- 90 day process once the individuals arrive,
followed by contact as needed. He added, however, that they can relocate to a different
5
January 7, 2020
city at any point in the process. Councilmember Glover asked if any organizations keep
track of these individuals once they enter the country. Chief Lyons stated that there are
designated non- profit organizations in the area that participate in the program, but he
doesn' t know how their portion of the process is handled.
Councilmember Gaines asked if passage of this resolution would put the City on a
preferred list of resettlement locations. Mayor Black stated that the States first give
consent to the resettlement program, and then municipalities within those states can
give consent. He added that many cities in the area and the State of Nebraska have
already given consent.
Chief Lyons explained that when a State and City have approved consent for
participation in the program and an individual is placed in that city, the organization
assisting them receives grant money to help fund resettlement expenses. He added that
once the individual relocates to a city that has not consented to participate in the
program, they lose the assistance.
Councilmember Sunde asked if the non- profit organizations have a financial interest in
the assistance of resettling refugees. Chief Lyons explained that the grant funding to
assist with resettlement is given to the organizations; however, these organizations exist
to provide these types of assistance services. Councilmember Sunde stated that he
shares the same concerns as Councilmember Gaines and asked how the community
would benefit from this program.
Councilmember Stubbe asked what additional role the City would have in working with
these organizations if this resolution is approved. Mayor Black explained that the City
would have no further role. He added that passage of the resolution would simply mean
the City would be made aware of a refugee' s relocation to Papillion through the Police
Department.
Councilmember Gaines stated that if a fellow councilmember wanted to make a motion
to table this resolution and obtain more information, he would agree to that, but he is not
comfortable voting in favor of this resolution tonight.
Councilmember Jaworski asked for clarification if refugees could move to Papillion
regardless of whether or not this resolution is passed. Mayor Black confirmed that they
could, but those individuals would have to locate first in a city that has given consent if
this resolution doesn' t pass.
Mayor Black asked Councilmember Gaines if he was making a formal motion to table
the item. Councilmember Gaines stated that he was not.
There was no further council discussion. Upon roll call vote, Glover, Jaworski, Stubbe,
and Engberg all voted yes. Voting no: Sunde and Gaines. Absent: Mumgaard and
Kluch. Motion failed.

Committee Reports: Public Safety Committee. Councilmember Gaines stated that the
Committee discussed mobile food vendors and potential safety issues on Washington
St. He noted that the Committee voted to have the City Attorney draft an ordinance to
amend Chapter 146 of the Papillion Municipal Code to prohibit mobile vendors on
Washington St between First St and Second St, unless Washington St is closed for a
special event. He added that the Committee also discussed creation of a policy
regarding modifications to speed limits at the request of staff. Councilmember Gaines

that would focus on public safety.

Department Annual Dinner.
Councilmember Sunde clarified Councilmember Gaines' remarks from the Committee
Report and noted that the proposed prohibition of mobile vendors on Washington St
between First St and Second St would apply to all mobile vendors, not just food
vendors.
Councilmember Stubbe asked for clarification regarding the outcome of the vote on
RES. R20- 0003. Mayor Black stated that a majority of the full Council is required to
pass an ordinance or resolution, not a majority of those present.
Mayor Black stated for the record that the intention at the time the agenda was
published was to enter into closed session; however, it is no longer necessary.
