Item F1
#8740 - Consideration of Creating Water Main District #440
The Utilities Department has received petitions for the creation of a water main district to
serve the residents within Kay Dee Subdivision. The area includes Roberta Avenue between
Barbara Avenue and Stolley Park Road; Gretchen Avenue between Barbara Avenue and Del
Mar Avenue, and Del Mar Avenue, between Arthur Avenue and Harrison Street.
Discussion:
The district is planned as an assessment district. This is the department’s standard method
for installing water mains to developed areas requesting City service. The assessable costs of
construction will be charged to the properties within the district.
The district provides for the installation of a 6” water main and will allow City water service
to be extended to area residents not currently supplied. Attached are copies of the district’s
plat, legal description, and a list of property owners within its boundary.
It is the recommendation of the Utilities Department that Water Main District 440 be created
as requested by the area residents. Sufficient funds are available in the FY 2001-2002
budget. The preliminary estimate for the construction is $115,000. See attached
ORDINANCE.

PUBLIC HEARING
Public Hearing to Consider Revocation of Conditional Use Permit for Automobile Wrecking
Yard, Oakleaf Auto Crushing, 1803-1911 Eldorado Street. Charlie Cuypers, City Attorney
reported that the Mayor and City Council had received copies of a letter dated May 1, 2002,
advising Craig Oakleaf, d/b/a Oakleaf Auto Crushing, of the intent of the City Attorney’s Office,
Code Compliance Officer and Building Department to conduct a public hearing to consider
revocation of the conditional use permit for the automobile wrecking yard operated at 1803-1911
Eldorado Street, Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska.
The business had been in operation for more than two decades, accompanied by virtually
continual enforcement action going back to at least October 13, 1981, at which time Oakleaf
Auto Crushing was sent a letter by then Assistant City Attorney William Shreffler, advising the
Page 7, City Council Regular Meeting, May 21, 2002
manager of complaints regarding junked vehicles and junked vehicle parts being stored outside
the fence in the public right-of-way and that the fence did not meet the requirements set forth in
the Grand Island City Code requiring that it be at least eight feet in height and site obscuring in
nature. Additional correspondence was sent periodically to this business over the years and
virtually innumerable personal conversations had been conducted between city staff and manager
Craig Oakleaf.
The results of the conversations had been periodic minimal improvements related solely to
removing junked vehicles, vehicle parts and salvage materials from Eldorado Street but there had
never been any significant progress toward lowering the height of the stacks of material which
reach above the fence and the business had continued to use Lot 18, Frank P. Bark’s Subdivision
No. 2 adjacent to the west side of the yard in violation of the Grand Island Zoning Code. Because
the adjacent property is zoned R4, it cannot be used as a salvage yard or for any of the uses to
which Oakleaf Auto Crushing had been utilizing the property for a number of years.
The City had received repeated promises during the course of many visits with Mr. Oakleaf that
corrections and improvements would occur but as mentioned earlier, other than removing
temporarily junk from Eldorado Street temporarily, nothing had changed.
It was recommended that the conditional use permit be revoked so that the City could proceed to
bring the operation to closure. As an alternative, the Grand Island City Council could revoke the
existing conditional use permit and reissue a new permit with additional conditions and
periodically review opportunities
Craig Lewis, Building Department Director and Tim Holloway, Code Compliance Officer spoke
regarding the conditions over the years of this property. Jim Wagoner, Attorney for Oakleaf
Auto; Craig Oakleaf, 1911 Eldorado Street; Larry Cook, 517 West 4th Street and Gary Quandt
3111 Magnolia Road spoke in opposition.
REQUESTS AND REFERRALS:
Consideration of Revocation of Conditional Use Permit for Automobile Wrecking Yard, Oakleaf
Auto Crushing, 1803-1911 Eldorado Street. Charlie Cuypers, City Attorney reported that this
item related to the aforementioned Public Hearing.
Motion by Ward, second by Larson, to approve the revocation of Conditional Use Permit for
Oakleaf Auto Crushing. Councilmember Haase questioned how many other salvage yards had
been sent letters. City Attorney Charlie Cuypers stated that they have had contact with several
others. Councilmember Pielstick was concerned about putting Oakleaf out of business but was
more concerned about meeting the City Code regulations.
Councilmember Whitesides made a motion to table this matter until the June 11, 2002 Regular
Meeting to give staff time to look into changing the City Code. Second by Sorensen. Upon roll
call vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
Page 8, City Council Regular Meeting, May 21, 2002
Councilmember Pielstick recommended referring this property to the Problem Resolution Team
for review over the next year to keep them in compliance. Councilmember Murray stated that he
would like to see new conditional use permits with time lines and regulations. Councilmember
Larson stated his concern of City staff’s time put into this issue over the last 20 years. City
Attorney Charlie Cuypers stated that he would be looking at new conditional use permits for all
salvage yards with an annual review.
Consideration of Leroy and Arlene Kramer for Extension of Non-Conforming Use at 3405 North
U.S. Highway 281. Craig Lewis, Building Department Director reported that this item related to
the aforementioned Public Hearing. A requested was submitted by Leroy and Arlene Kramer of
Kramer's Auto Parts & Iron Co. Inc. for approval of an extension of a non-conforming use at
3405 North U.S. Highway 281. The request was to allow for the construction of a 50'x50'
building addition to accommodate a bailer for the processing of metals. Council approval was
required as the property was zoned T-A Transitional Agriculture and that zoning classification
does not allow for the present use. The use was in existence prior to zoning restriction creating a
legal non-conforming use. Any expansions, extensions, or additions to the legal non-conforming
use must by section 36-86 of the City Code be approved by the City council.
Motion by Larson, second by Sorensen, carried unanimously to approve the request. Motion
adopted.
PAYMENT OF CLAIMS:
Motion by Whitesides, second by Hornady, carried unanimously to approve the Claims for the
period of May 8, 2002 through May 21, 2002, for a total amount of $2,463,524.21.

MINUTES OF CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a Study Session of the City Council of the City of Grand
Island, Nebraska was conducted in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 100 East First Street, on
June 4, 2002. Notice of the meeting was given in the Grand Island Independent on May 29,
2002.
Mayor Ken Gnadt called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The following members were present:
Councilmembers Pielstick, Ward, Seifert, Larson, Hornady, Whitesides, Haase, Murray and
Sorensen. Councilmember Walker was absent. The following City Officials were present: City
Administrator Marlan Ferguson, City Clerk RaNae Edwards, City Attorney Charlie Cuypers and
Finance Director David Springer.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE was said.
RESERVE TIME TO SPEAK ON AGENDA ITEMS: No individuals reserved time to speak on
agenda items.
Recognition of Kurt Mann, State Championship Winner in Shot Put. The Mayor and City
Council recognized Kurt Mann, Senior High School Student for his State Championship win in
the Shot Put. Shot Put Coach Monty Fyfe was also be present for the recognition.
Discussion Concerning Greenspace Regulations. Chad Nabity, Regional Planning Director
reported that Greenspace provides a number of benefits to a community. Those benefits ranged
from creating an inviting environment and places for recreation to providing for storm water
drainage. Currently, the City has a landscaping ordinance that applies to new
commercial/manufacturing buildings and uses.
Landscaping along streets is done by individual property owners. Most new city parks are
purchased using general funds budgeted to the Parks Department. Trails are built with federal
and city funds. Parks and greenspace are provided by various means in communities. Landscape
regulations can require property owners to install and maintain landscaping on their property.
The City can charge fees to pay for new parks. Developers can be required to reserve space in
their subdivisions for parks or trails. Combined facilities such as schools and parks lower the
overall cost of providing greenspace. Property owners can donate land for public greenspace.
Subdivision regulations can be written to give density bonuses to developers in exchange for
maintaining greenspace.
Councilmember Larson stated that it seemed like big developers or companies were the ones that
resisted greenspace development and the City makes concessions to get them to locate here. Mr.
Nabity stated not always was that the case. Grand Island’s greenspace regulations were not that
hard to meet compared to other big cities.
Page 2, City Council Study Session, June 4, 2002
Councilmember Ward mentioned the importance of the hike/bike trails and encouraged their use.
Councilmember Hornady felt that we need to take a good look at those things around us to build
a better quality of life. Councilmember Larson mentioned the changes to South Locust Street and
how much better that looked.
City Attorney Charlie Cuypers stated that the businesses within a Business Improvement District
see the advantages of greenspace and would pay for the costs. Councilmember Murray
mentioned the parks and who pays for them. Parks and Recreation Director, Steve Paustian
reported that a study had been done as to where parks should be located. Budgetary issues were
talked about.
Councilmember Pielstick asked if there was a way we could look at codes from other cities. Mr.
Cuypers stated that this could be done and Grand Island was behind in this area concerning
greenspace.
John Luna, 718 East 8th Street, talked about areas in Colorado and was concerned about the fees.
Mr. Luna felt greenspace was a good idea and a quality of life issue.
Discussion of Agreement with Nebraska Emergency Management Regarding Providing
Hazardous Material Response and Equipment. Jim Rowell, Fire Chief reported that the Nebraska
Emergency Management Agency had received funds through a Department of Justice grant
program to provide equipment to selected emergency responders for hazardous material
handling. Nebraska Emergency Management Agency provides the equipment directly to the City
for use in the community and in other areas when requested. The Memorandum of
Understanding provides the responsibilities for the City of Grand Island and the Nebraska
Emergency Management Agency. Seven other cities across the state had entered into similar
agreements.
Mr. Rowell stated there was $55,000 available in equipment for Grand Island from the Nebraska
Emergency Management Agency. Councilmember Larson asked if we had a choice in the type of
equipment we would receive. Mr. Rowell stated that there may be some equipment that we could
request. Councilmember Piestick asked if we had a Haz Mat team. Mr. Rowell stated that we do
not. This item will come before the Council at the June 11, 2002 regular meeting.
Mr. Rowell updated the Council on the Fire School held here in Grand Island.

Item G9
#2002-151 - Approving Proposal for Pistol Range Engineering
Services
The City of Grand Island leased the pistol range at the former Cornhusker Army
Ammunition Plant as a police training facility on October 14, 1988. When the lease was
renewed on September 23, 1993, the City agreed, “to environmentally restore and cleanup
said property, at its sole expense, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.” This
concession was necessary as a condition for extending the lease and given that the City had
no alternative weapons training facility available then or now, the Mayor and City Council
approved the lease as revised.
Currently the US Army Corps of Engineers is finishing its plans for disposal of CHAAP. On
July 6, 2001, the Corps advised the City that the pistol range was to be closed effective
October 1, 2001, and the City was to proceed with carrying out the environmental cleanup
provided in the lease renewal of 1993.
In furtherance of the City’s compliance with the lease, the City advertised a request for
proposals for sampling, engineering design and cost estimates for cleaning up the lead at the
pistol range in excess of USEPA Nonresidential Action Levels of 400 ppm, using either
recycling or remediation processes.
The request for proposals was advertised in accordance with the procurement code and RFPs
were sent to eight firms. Four responses were received. The RFP required bidders to respond
with hourly fees by personnel classification plus estimated miscellaneous expenses up to a
predetermined “not to exceed” amount on a projected phase basis. The following firms
provided responses:
Name Address Not To Exceed Amount
Jacobson Helgoth, Consultants, Inc. Omaha, Nebraska $59,400%
Olsson Associates Grand Island, Nebraska $34,387%%
TCW Environmental Services Lincoln, Nebraska $90,905 min. - $121,750
max.
Mid-Western Lead Co. Grand Island, Nebraska No Amount Quoted
The proposals were reviewed and scored separately by the City Attorney and Building
Department Director. The proposals of Jacobson Helgoth and Olsson Associates were similar
in a number of respects except that Jacobson Helgoth emphasized their intent to approach
the project as a recycling operation, an alternative which likely has substantially less cost as
Tuesday, June 11, 2002
Council Session
City of Grand Island
City of Grand Island City Council
compared to remediation when the work plan is carried out by a contractor, the site is
cleaned up and the pistol range removed. This is the process which Jacobson Helgoth is
currently using in the course of a cleanup of a firing range at Elk City, Nebraska owned by
the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department. Because the cleanup of the CHAAP pistol range
will require approval by the USEPA and/or Nebraska Department of Environmental Control,
irrespective of whether a recycling or remediation process has followed, proposes were
required to discuss this issue in their proposal. Successful utilization of a recycling approach
to cleanup the pistol range will likely result in somewhat higher consulting and engineering
fees which should be more than offset by lower contract costs in the course of execution of
the work plan. Because the qualifications of personnel, projected hours and hourly rates are
similar between the Olsson Associates and Jacobson Helgoth, the proposals the “not to
exceed” fees are of limited significance. A comparison of the projected hours and billings
rates for professional classifications is as follows:
Description Jacobson Helgoth Olsson Associates
Projected project hours 592 hr. 381 hr.
Team leader or principal $125/hr. $153/hr.
Senior scientist $100/hr. $103/hr.
Project scientist $65/hr. $74/hr.
Civil Engineer $80/hr. $54/hr.
Based on our evaluation of the proposals, it is the recommendation of City staff that the
contract for engineering services related to the pistol range clean up be awarded to Jacobson
Helgoth Consultants, Inc. based on their experience in projects of this nature including
particularly recent experience related to the cleanup of a firing range and other lead
contaminated sites in the State of Nebraska.
The expenditure can come from 61550020-85465. There are sufficient funds available for the
project in the current 2001-2002 City budget.

#2002-159 - Approving Annexation Plan and Scheduling Public
Hearing
Nebraska Revised Statute §16-117 provides that the second step of the Mayor and City
Council in considering annexation of land after referring the matter to the Regional
Planning Commission for a recommendation, is to adopt a resolution setting the time, date
and place for a public hearing, describing the boundaries of the land proposed for
annexation and approving and making available for public inspection a plan for the City to
extend city services to the lands under consideration. The plan is to state (a) the estimated
cost impact of providing services to the lands, (b) state the method by which the City proposes
to finance the extension of services and how services already provided to the land would be
maintained, (c) include a time table for extending services to the land under consideration,
and (d) include maps delineating the lands proposed for annexation, the current boundaries
of the City, the proposed boundaries of the City after annexation and the general land-use
pattern in the land proposed for annexation. A public hearing is to be held within 60 days
following the adoption of the resolution to allow the City Council to receive testimony from
interested persons.
The resolution setting the public hearing and approving the annexation plan is to be
published in the local newspaper not less than ten days preceding the date of the public
hearing and copies are to be sent to all the school boards of school districts which include
any of the lands proposed for annexation.
The annexation plan as drawn not only describes the additional services to be provided to the
areas proposed for annexation, but also the existing services. Currently, it appears that the
City can pay the cost of extending infrastructure to all the proposed areas for annexation
without raising taxes, utility rates or issuing bonded debt. Water and sanitary sewer trunk
line extensions can be paid from the current operating revenues of the enterprise funds.
Because the City basically “caught up” with its projects for the electrical, water and sanitary
sewer utilities in recent years, there are money and resources available to proceed to
construct the trunk lines in the near future.
Copies of the annexation plan will be delivered to the Mayor and City Council members
separately from their packet. The plan copies which you will receive will not include a color
coded existing land use map due to limitations of the copier. The master map is available in
the office of the City Clerk for inspection and individual maps will be delivered to City
Council members with their packet.

#2002-160 - Approving Boundaries for Business Improvement
District #4 and Appointing Board
As reported in the May 31, 2002 Information Memorandum, organizers of a future Business
Improvement District (#4) are reaching out to other business owners along the portion of the
South Locust corridor that comprises the new improvement district. This area is identified,
generally, as north of Stolley Park Road to Fonner Park Road. Members of the organizing
group include: Mike Toukan, Scott Zana, Kris Nolan Brown, Buzz Douthit, Bill Martin,
Hugh Miner and Byron Wheeler.
Property owners are organizing their efforts to continue the street improvements that are now
evident along the southernmost portions of South Locust Street, including pedestrian
lighting, landscaping and sidewalks. The goals include the redevelopment of South Locust
into an appealing corridor and entrance into Grand Island in anticipation of the additional
flow of traffic to South Locust Street, upon the completion of the I-80 exit to South Locust
Street. State statutes allow for the creation of business improvement districts and the
expenditure of funds for improvements of public places or facilities within the district,
including the acquisition, construction, maintenance, and operation of such improvements,
creation and implementation of a plan for improving the general architectural design of
public areas within the district, the development of any public activities and promotion of
public events, including the management and promotion and advocacy of retail trade
activities or other promotional activities, and employing or contracting for personnel for any
improvement program under the act.
The establishment of the boundaries for Business Improvement District #4 and the
appointment of the aforementioned individuals as board members is the first step toward the
creation of the district. Approval is recommended.

#2002-168 - Approving Purchase of Additional Weather Radios
Through Project Impact Program
At the City Council meeting of March 26, 2002, the Council adopted Resolution #2002-88,
providing for the purchase of up to 3,500 weather radios from Weather or Not, Inc., of
Shawnee, Kansas. The City’s purchase price for the radios was $67 per unit for the first
1,000 units and $66 per unit for the additional 2,500 units. Consumers can purchase the
radios for $15. The remaining costs are paid through the City’s Project Impact program with
grant funding provided by the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) and matching
dollars by the City. The purpose of the federal Project Impact funding is to assist in disaster
mitigation efforts.
The community’s response to purchasing weather radios has been overwhelming. As of June
1, 2002, over 2,700 units had been purchased and orders keep coming in! The weather radio
program included marketing these radios to schools, nursing homes, day cares, and other
entities where large groups congregate. Because the marketing has not been completed, we
anticipate that more than the originally ordered 3,500 units will be required to meet the needs
of the community. Weather or Not has agreed to hold the purchase price at $66 for an
additional 1,000 units. It is recommended that an additional 1,000 weather radio units be
purchased from Weather or Not, Inc., Shawnee, Kansas, for a price of $66 per unit.

#2002-170 - Approving Change Order #1 - Turbine Generator
Control Engineering Services - Platte Generating Station
The engineering firm of Black & Veatch was awarded an engineering contract to design
replacement turbine and generator relaying at Platte Generating Station. The contract was
awarded on March 12, 2002 for an amount not to exceed $260,000. B&V was selected from
three firms that responded to the City RFP.
This project was undertaken because the control and protective systems associated with the
PGS turbine generator are of late 70’s design. That equipment is obsolete and no longer
supported by the manufacturers. The Utilities Department intends to replace these critical
systems during the scheduled 2002 fall outage. Funds are budgeted in the ‘01-’02 budget for
this project. Three main systems are included; turbine electro-hydraulic control, generator
voltage control, and generator protective relaying.
Discussion:
There are two large transformers directly associated with power supply to the power plant;
the Normal Supply which is fed directly from the generator when it is on line; and the
Reserve Supply which provides station power when the generator is off line and is energized
for emergency supply when the plant experiences an unplanned outage. Both of these
critical transformers are equipped with protective and control relaying which, like the turbine
generator relaying, is of 25 year old design and obsolete.
The extended plant shutdown planned for this fall would be an optimal time to also replace
and/or upgrade the transformers’ systems since other protective relaying is being upgraded,
and the transformer systems work in concert with the turbine generator systems. Black &
Veatch was asked to provide a proposal adding this design work to their project scope. B&V
has quoted a price of $27,500 for additional engineering services to upgrade the normal and
reserve transformer protective relaying. The attached Change Order #1 outlines the addition
to the original contract for a net addition of $27,500, for a final contract price of $287,500.
Recommendation:
The Utilities Department recommends authorizing this Change Order #1 to the
Turbine/Generator Engineering Services project at the Platte Generating Station for a net
addition not to exceed $27,500.
Fiscal Effects:
Expenditure of $27,500 from Enterprise Fund 520. There are sufficient funds available.
