Detention Cell
The Robert M. Allen Family Limited Partnership, the owner of Eagle Run, has requested
that Detention Cell B-6A previously dedicated to the City of Grand Island be reconfigured in
order to accommodate future commercial development of Meadowlark West Fourth
Subdivision. A public hearing regarding this matter was held during the February 26, 2002
City Council meeting. The Public Works Department has reviewed and approved the
reconfiguration. There are two actions before the Council in connection with this matter,
including (a) an ordinance approving acquisition of the reconfigured cell as Outlot "A", and
(b) approving an exchange agreement swapping the existing detention cell B-6A tract for
Outlot "A". Other than the cost of preparation of documents for presentation to the City
Council and the publication of a notice of public hearing, the City of Grand Island is
incurring no other expenses in connection with the exchange transaction. We recommend

second by Larson to amend Resolution #2002-120 and increase the funding from the City from

#2002-121 – Approving Interlocal Agreement with Hall County Airport Authority Regarding Airport
Security. Bill Stovall, representing Hall County Regional Airport reported that since the September
11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the US Department of Transportation, Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) had provided security at United States civil aviation airports using the
National Guard. With the pending departure of the National Guard, TSA was requiring the airports
which do not have federal law enforcement officers to provide uniformed law enforcement officers at
any time passengers are undergoing screening at check points.
The TSA has authorized reimbursement for airports such as the Central Nebraska Regional Airport
for the cost of providing officers. Many airports have elected to contract with local law enforcement
agencies to provide security personnel and this was the course which had been chosen by the Hall
County Airport Authority. An Interlocal Agreement between the City of Grand Island and the Hall
County Airport Authority to provide members of the Grand Island Police Department for security
had been negotiated. In accordance with the program established by TSA, this arrangement is
proposed to run no longer than December 1, 2003.
The Authority would reimburse the City for its actual direct and indirect employee expenses for these
security services. Additionally, the Authority had the option of requesting that the City establish an
off-site workstation at the airport in consideration of a payment of $3,309.85 to the police department
for providing a computer, appropriate programs, peripheral equipment and licenses necessary to
operate our current law enforcement reporting and data collection program.
Page 7, City Council Regular Meeting, April 23, 2002
Councilmember Murray questioned the number of Police officers it would take for this security. Mr.
Stovall stated that 1 officer per flight would be needed. It was stated that 2 offic ers per day would be
needed. These officers would be off duty officers as there is already a short of officers on shift duty.
These off duty officers would be paid over time which would be covered by the Federal Government.
This would be for an 18 month duration.
Motion by Seifert, second by Sorensen, carried unanimously to approve.
PAYMENT OF CLAIMS:
Motion by Whitesides, second by Haase, carried unanimously to approve the Claims for the period of
April 10, 2002 through April 23, 2002, for a total amount of $2,289,688.45.

#2002-56 - Approving Reconfiguration of Detention Cell Including
Acquisition of Real Estate and Approval of Exchange Agreement
The Robert M. Allen Family Limited Partnership, the owner of Eagle Run, has requested
that Detention Cell B-6A previously dedicated to the City of Grand Island be reconfigured in
order to accommodate future commercial development of Meadowlark West Fourth
Subdivision. A public hearing regarding this matter was held during the February 26, 2002
City Council meeting. The Public Works Department has reviewed and approved the
reconfiguration. There are two actions before the Council in connection with this matter,
including (a) an ordinance approving acquisition of the reconfigured cell as Outlot "A", and
(b) approving an exchange agreement swapping the existing detention cell B-6A tract for
Outlot "A". Other than the cost of preparation of documents for presentation to the City
Council and the publication of a notice of public hearing, the City of Grand Island is
incurring no other expenses in connection with the exchange transaction. We recommend
that the ordinance and resolution be approved as drafted.

#2002-125 - Approving Engineering Services for Well Field
Collection Basin Project
The City of Grand Island’s Platte River wellfield typically contributes approximately 70-80
percent of the total water supply to the distribution system, and as such, is a critical link in
the City’s overall water supply. The existing 250,000 gallon collection basin at the well field
provides wet well storage for low pressure pumps at the well field pump station which pump
water to three storage tanks located within the City limits. Currently, there is no redundancy
within the collection basin to allow continued operation of the well field pump station should
the collection basin need to be out of service for any reason, effectively eliminating the well
field supply during a down period. As additional high pressure wells within the City limits are
abandoned due to water quality concerns, increased emphasis will be placed on the well field
supply and the opportunity to construct improvements at the collection basin will be further
limited.
In accordance with the RFP from which CH2M Hill was selected for the Water System
Engineering work, that firm has provided a price of $74,414 for the engineering services for
this project. Utilities Department Staff has reviewed the engineer’s proposal.
CH2M Hill proposes to design improvements to the well field collection basin which will
provide partial redundancy to allow continued well field supply should a portion of the basin
need to be taken out of service, and to allow future expansion of this critical facility.
It is the recommendation of the Utilities Department that CH2M Hill be authorized to
proceed with the engineering required to develop specifications and provide engineering
services for modifications to the Well Field Collection Basin.
The attached Proposed Scope of Services report from CH2M Hill defines the cost of
engineering not to exceed $74,414. There are sufficient funds available in Water Fund 525.

Proposed Scope of Services and Fee Estimate for the

Project.
TO: City of Grand Island
FROM: CH2M HILL
DATE: May 3, 2002
Project Understanding
The City of Grand Island’s Platte River wellfield typically contributes approximately 70-80
percent of the total water supply to the distribution system, and as such, is a critical link in
the City’s overall water supply. The existing 250,000 gallon collection basin at the wellfield
provides wet well storage for low pressure pumps at the wellfield pump station which
pump water to three storage tanks located within the City limits. Currently, there is no redundancy within the collection basin to allow continued operation of the wellfield pump
station should the collection basin need to be out of service for any reason, effectively
eliminating the wellfield supply during a down period. As additional high pressure wells
within the City limits are abandoned due to water quality concerns, increased emphasis will
be placed on the wellfield supply and the opportunity to construct improvements at the collection basin will be further limited.
The following scope of services outlines a strategy for the design of improvements to the wellfield collection basin which will provide partial redundancy to allow continued
wellfield supply should a portion of the basin need to be taken out of service. The scope of
services and fee estimate that are provided as part of this memorandum outline the
following: 1) preparation of engineering contract documents, consisting of drawings and
specifications, to allow the City to bid and construct the wellfield collection basin
improvements; and, 2) additional engineering services including services during bidding
and construction. It is anticipated that drawings and specifications will be submitted at the 50% and 90% design phases for City review and comment prior to issuing final drawings
and specifications.
Proposed Scope of Services
CH2M HILL, Inc. (CONSULTANT) shall provide design services to the City of Grand Island
(CITY) related to the preparation of contract documents for construction of improvement to
the Platte River wellfield collection basin.
