Councilmember Sunde stated that the land on the south side of this project is not developed so
he does not understand why the City is paying for road improvements. Mr. Kleffner explained that
Sarpy County is requesting the City be a partner for this project. Sarpy County would take care of
the southern half and the City would take care of the northern half. He noted that this project was
brought to the City’s attention last year by Congressman Flood’s Development Grant Program.
Councilmember Sunde asked if there is federal money that would cover 80% of the project. Mr.

asked why the City is voting on this now if we do not know if there is federal funding available. Mr.

Councilmember Sunde asked how much money is being spent on the design phase. Mr. Kleffner
stated that he is anticipating approximately $100,000. This money was budgeted for last year and
is being carried over. Councilmember Sunde asked what the harm would be to wait since there
is no development pending in that area. Mr. Kleffner explained why the City is moving forward
with the project.
Councilmember Mumgaard asked about the project being necessary to provide ADA compliant
facilities along Schram Rd. Mr. Kleffner explained how access would be provided. Councilmember
Mumgaard asked why the County was requesting this project be done. Mr. Kleffner stated that he
believes it is due to increasing connectivity. Councilmember Sunde stated that he is not opposed
to paving this road, he just does not think it needs to be done now.
