La Vista council agenda lists FY27 tax levy vote and police union contract; minutes not yet posted
The La Vista City Council's October 6 agenda included a public hearing and a vote on the FY27 property tax levy and consideration of a collective bargaining agreement with the La Vista Fraternal Order of Police. Minutes from that meeting have not been published, so this roundup reports what was scheduled, not what was decided. The same applies to two Civil Service Commission meetings this month: agendas are available, results are not.
City Council, October 6: tax levy, police contract, fees
The agenda listed a public hearing and Resolution No. 26-089 setting the FY27 property tax levy. It also listed Ordinance No. 1591 amending the Master Fee Ordinance, and Resolution No. 26-096 approving the Fraternal Order of Police agreement paired with Ordinance No. 1593 amending the compensation ordinance.
Separate ordinances would restate retirement plans for police, for general employees, and for administrator and managerial staff, according to the agenda.
Contract and agreement items on the agenda included Resolution No. 26-092 awarding a contract to JEO Consulting Group, Inc., a lobbying interlocal agreement with United Cities of Sarpy County, and construction of a small baseball field at the sports complex.
The consent agenda listed monthly financial reports and payments tied to the Giles Road construction and widening projects:
- $27,860.00 to Galaxy Ventures III, LLC
- $1,425.00 to M & V Investments, LLC
- $1,425.00 to Broadway Corner, LLC
- $475.00 to Avesta, LLC
Because no minutes are posted, the record does not show whether any of these items were approved, amended, or postponed.
Civil Service Commission: police officer hiring
The Civil Service Commission met October 13 to conduct interviews for entry level police officer positions and to receive a report from the Chief of Police. The agenda also listed approval of previous meeting minutes.
The commission met again October 14, with interviews scheduled for both entry level and lateral police officer candidates. The agenda listed certification of eligibility lists for both roles, plus a request for an eligibility list for lateral police officer.
Agendas for both meetings are posted; minutes are not. No candidate names, interview results, or list certifications are established in the available record.
Coming up
City Council, October 20. Public hearings are scheduled on a street improvement plan, a PUD amendment for AD Industrial Park, and a conditional use permit for Foundation Building Materials. Agenda items include:

Park and Recreation Advisory Committee, October 21. The committee is scheduled to discuss updates on Camenzind Park and city pool operations, a Parks & Rec Survey, and staff operations reports.
Both are agenda listings. Residents who want to know what the council actually approves on the street plan, the industrial park amendment, the Chandler Road permit, or the Giles Road bids will need the minutes once published.
