WHEREAS, in the last ten years major changes have positively impacted the
reliability of the power system — the development of federal regulatory compliance standards and the
formation of regional transmission organizations; and
WHEREAS, Grand Island is now obligated to comply with assigned standards; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to cover potential reliability gaps, certain electronic
transmission system analysis is necessary; and
WHEREAS, since Grand Island is totally surrounded and interconnected with
Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) and they currently have the resources to perform this
analysis on their own system, Utilities Department staff approached them to perform this analysis on
Grand Island's behalf; and
WHEREAS, NPPD's pricing is very reasonable, and much of the needed
infrastructure between Grand Island and NPPD already exists.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the Transmission Assessment Services
Agreement with NPPD is hereby approved, and the Mayor is authorized to sign the Agreement on
behalf of the City of Grand Island.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, February 28, 2017.
