A public hearing is being held for the fee schedule portion of the Agency budget. The fee schedule was discussed at the June 18, 2002 City Council Study Session. The Council asked for information to compare the residential garbage rates of neighboring communities to what the residents of Grand Island pay. The quarterly garbage rate ranged from $24.60 in Kearney for once per week pick up of one customer furnished garbage can to $49.30 in Hastings for once per week pick up of a company furnished tote. The average quarterly rate was $38.75. Customers in Grand Island are charged from $42.00 to $42.40 for once per week pick up of a company furnished tote. It is recommended that the Grand Island Solid Waste Agency adopt the Agency fee schedule for Fiscal Year 2002-2003.

Tuesday, June 25, 2002 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Steve Riehle, City Engineer/Public Works Director City of Grand Island City Council Item E5 Public Hearing on Annexation This is the public hearing required by statute on the proposed annexation of nine areas of land contiguous and adjacent to the City of Grand Island and proposed annexation plan for extension of City services to these lands. The annexation plan under consideration was previously adopted for consideration by Resolution 2002-159. Following the public hearing the final version of the annexation plan must be adopted and ratified by ordinance, including any amendments resulting from the Mayor and City Council’s consideration and debate following the hearing. The proposed annexation plan was delivered to the Council previously. The current packet includes the proposed annexation ordinance as well as a number of attachments relating to issues and questions raised during prior meetings with the public as well as the proceedings on the record during past City Council meetings. Can The Police And Fire Departments Adequately Serve The Areas Proposed For Annexation_ Attached are memorandums from the departments confirming that not only are they able to adequately serve the new areas with existing resources. In the case of the Fire Department, acquisitions of equipment under consideration for the 2002-2003 budget as well as the extension of City infrastructure including water and hydrants, will allow fire protection to improve substantially. This equipment will improve not only fire protection to the areas proposed for annexation ,but also those parts of our existing community which do not have hydrants. Is There Development Potential In Area 4_ A substantial share of the lands in Area 4 is currently undeveloped. Almost 20 tracts which are not platted, and some platted lands such as Twins Lake Second Subdivision, are suited for development. However, given the cost of complying with the state’s requirements for private water and sanitary ewer systems, significant additional development is not likely until City water and sewer is available. Will It Cost $20,000-27,000 Per Home To Have City Sewer Service_ Attached is a spreadsheet showing average front foot costs for recent sanitary sewer projects of the City. The conservative informal figure used by the City to estimate the average front foot cost for residential sewer service has been $80.00/ft. The attached spreadsheet illustrates that this number is sound in that during the period from 1998-2001 in Sanitary Sewer Districts Nos. 486, 487, 489, 490, 492 and 493, the average front foot cost has ranged from $34.89/ft. to $66.34/ft. for residential properties. Actual cost will depend on design factors for individual districts these cost are for illustration purposes only. It should be reiterated that there is no cost until a neighborhood requests creation of a district, the district passes protest, and is designed and constructed. Tuesday, June 25, 2002 Council Session City of Grand Island City of Grand Island City Council What Is The Impact On Development Of The Odor Problems At The Waste Water Treatment Plant_ Currently the City is in the process of redesigning the WWTP and modifying the treatment process in a manner which will not only improve odor emissions but also enhance plant efficiencies and operations. The current cost estimates are in the $5,000,000 range. The Public Works intends to start engineering and design work in the fall of 2002 with the main construction to occur during the 2003 construction season. The plant revision will be funded through refinancing of existing WWTP revenue bonds which are callable in 2004. Based on projections from the City’s finance department, the plant improvements will not change the City’s annual debt service payments significantly from those currently in place, but will extend the payments another 5-7 years. The WWTP redesign and modification can be handled concurrently with sewer construction in the annexation areas without adversely affecting the financial integrity of the plant. Is The Water From Private Wells Better Than That Provided By The City_ Without question, the water provided by the City’s water department is of higher quality and more closely monitored than that from private wells. Regarding nitrates, the water supply from the Platte River Wellfield is less than 1 ppm.The highest nitrate content found in the current municipal system of wells would likely be 6 ppm found in a well located in the westerly part of the City. The quality of the City’s water is monitored continuously to be safe, sanitary and reliable. Attached is a list of critical water test from the Grand Island Hall County Department of Health from proposed annexation areas 4 and 12 during the period of January 2001 – June 2002. This list includes test of private wells in these areas found to have nitrates in excess of 9.70 ppm and positive coliform test. Nitrates in excess of 10.0 ppm in drinking water may pose potential health problems to small children and elderly. We have not included the street addresses or the last two digits of the lab test in order to protect the privacy of the individuals requesting the test. Is It Easy To Replace And Relocate A Private Sanitary Sewer System In Area 4_ One gentleman recently stated before the Regional Planning Commission and the City Council that he was able to conveniently and easily locate and construct a new septic tank and leach field in the Kuester Lake area after his older system failed. This understates the problem – the City Building Department spent substantial time assisting the relocation and layout of the new field; however, the field is located off the homeowners property and much of that convenience is directly attributable to the knowledge and assistance of the Building Department staff. Staff Contact: Charlie Cuypers City of Grand Island City Council DATE: June 20, 2002 TO: Charles Cuypers, City Attorney - Marlan Ferguson, City Administrator FROM: Kyle L. Hetrick, Chief of Police RE: Annexation The Grand Island Police Department has expanded its police force by 15 officers since 1996. In 1996 we were understaffed as our 1.4 officers per one thousand indicated. The state average for 1st Class cities is 1.9 Officers per one thousand population. We have added the following police officer positions since 1996: 1996 2 Officers Traffic Unit funded by a grant by Nebraska Highway Safety 1997 3 Officers School Resource Officers funded by Federal Grant & GI Schools 1998 2 Officers School Resource Officers funded by Federal Grant & GI Schools 1999 5 Officers Community Oriented Policing Strategies funded by Federal Grant 1999 1 Officer Drug Enforcement Officer funded by HIDTA 2000 1 Officer Housing Authority Officer funded by HUD 2001 1 Officer Allocated for Domestic Violence funded by Crime Commission* *Grant was not approved, however; position was kept because officers were called to active military duty as a result of 9-11 The Grand Island Police Department is now staffed with 1.75 officers per one thousand population. (75 sworn officers vs. 60 in 1996). I would not anticipate an immediate need to increase our staffing levels even if all the proposed annexation areas would be incorporated into our city. If we served 3,000 new city residents, which is more than the annexed areas would bring in, our officers per one thousand ratio would still be 1.63., well ahead of the 1996 level. I do believe that the foresight of council and city administration to add officers was a major factor in the 25% decrease in our crime rate which happened in 1999. The most populated annexation areas proposed are of a suburban nature that do not generally call for extensive police calls for service. Bellevue, Nebraska traditionally has half the crime rate of Grand Island even though they almost mirror our census population. Their community is very suburban in nature being adjacent Omaha, plus, Bellevue has annexed large residential areas. The high populated areas in the proposed Grand Island annexation are traditionally very low crime areas. Police Department Additionally, our department is implementing technology improvements that should free more officers time from burdensome report writing. We replaced in-house computers in 2001 and in 2002 we will have our computers in the cars. Hopefully, we will start realizing time savings after the learning curve of the new system "kicks in" around late 2003. There are additonal efficiencies that need to be explored with manpower deployment, scheduling, and shift assignment before we consider adding personnel as a result of annexation. TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Fire Department DATE: June 21, 2002 RE: Annexation Currently through 2002: We have been providing emergency medical services to the proposed annexed areas for some time and believe the service has been satisfactory. If annexed today: EMS services will be accompanied by an engine company in the same manner as currently provided on calls within the city. Annexed areas will be provided with fire protection in a timely and effective manner. Estimated initial response times to all proposed annexation areas will be 6 – 8 minutes with normal speed and driving conditions. Consideration of future fire station locations will include response times to all areas of the city. Short term goals to serve all the areas under consideration for annexation are: · Pumper/tanker – 1500 gallon This equipment is needed to provide service to areas currently within the city without adequate hydrants and airport service, as well as those areas under consideration for annexation. · Air Rescue Firefighting training The current budget under consideration for 2002-2003 includes funding for an engine company, irrespective of results of annexation. In proposed areas 2, 4, 6, 10 and 12 the availability of water is a concern. Several options to supply water have been considered; but, the most economical and efficient method in the short term, is to transport water where needed. The permanent solution is to construct infrastructure to provide city water and hydrants in neighborhoods as well as along trunk lines. Within a short period of time, with the city’s full time professional fire department and the extension of city water service to many of the areas under consideration for annexation, it is expected that the city will be able to provide greater firefighting capacity than is currently available to these areas. Long term goals: · Relocation of stations to improve response. · Adequate water supply. · Continuation of specialized training. Fire Department -----Original Message----- From: David Springer Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 9:41 AM To: Charlie Cuypers Cc: Marlan Ferguson Subject: WWTP Modifications One of the questions brought up at this week's council study session related to annexation, was the impact on development in the eastern edge of the city from the lingering odor problems at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). Our plan to deal with the odor abatement concerns at the WWTP is a redesign of the plant itself and a modification of their process, which is also intended to enhance efficiencies and improve operations. We are estimating a cost in the five million dollar range and would like to start engineering and design work yet this fall with the main implementation work to occur next season. As we would fund infrastructure needs for annexation of about $4.3 million out of WWTP cash reserves and operations, this plant revision could be funded through the refinancing of existing WWTP revenue bonds, which are callable in 2004. We would probably not change our annual debt service significantly from current costs, just push it out another 5-7 years. In summation, I feel that concurrent construction of sewer infrastructure in the proposed annexation areas and WWTP modifications is very doable.

Notice of the meeting was given in the Grand Island Independent on June 12, 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 Walker. Councilmember Sorensen was absent. The following City Officials were present: City Administrator Marlan Ferguson, City Clerk RaNae Edwards, City Attorney Charlie Cuypers, Public Works Director Steve Riehle and Finance Director David Springer. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE was said. RESERVE TIME TO SPEAK ON AGENDA ITEMS: One individual reserved time to speak on agenda items. Presentation of US Fish and Wildlife Platte River Critical Habitat Designation. Gary Mader, Utilities Director, and Ron Bishop, Central Platte Natural Resources District Manager, reported that the United Stated Fish and Wildlife Service (USF&W) had promulgated a wide range critical habitat designation for the Piping Plover. In Nebraska, this designation reached part of the Platte, Niobrara, Loup and Missouri Rivers. It also included river reaches and lakes in North and South Dakota and Minnesota. This designation had the potential to greatly change the way water was used in the State, including the City’s well field. The importance of the designation, and its possible affects on Nebraska water use, had been the catalyst to bring a number of organizations together as the Nebraska Habitat Conservation Coalition (NHCC). The group included natural resource districts, power districts, irrigation districts and farm groups. This designation comes at the same time that the Platte River Cooperative Agreement (CA) was ongoing. Mr. Mader recommended the City join the coalition, funding from Fund 525, Water Enterprise Fund. Fiscal effects included expenditure of $3,000.00 annually for three years from Fund 525. Councilmember Murray questioned the benefit of Grand Island joining this coalition. Mr. Bishop stated that this issue was not over and anticipated additional issues including maybe court action, but that if this did go to court they would not be back asking for more money. Councilmember Ward asked what the cost of replacing our well fields would be. Mr. Mader stated it would depend on where the well fields would be located and at this tine would be hard to put a price on Page 2, City Council Study Session, June 18, 2002 it. Councilmember Larson felt we should join the coalition. Councilmember Pielstick requested this issue be brought before Council at the next regular meeting of June 25, 2002. Review of Street Lighting Standards. Steve Riehle, Public Works Director, reported that Councilmember Whitesides had requested that the city review the street lighting standards to see if the standards should be modified so that additional lights could be installed along Third Street. The current street lighting standard for residential city streets was to install a street light at every intersection. If the distance between intersections puts the lights more then 400 feet apart, the city would install an additional light as long as the 8 adjacent residents support the installation. The distance between intersections along Third Street was 344 feet. This distance between intersections was typical for the older parts of the city. Kearney, Lincoln and York's residential street lighting standards call for streetlights at every intersection. Hastings has many streetlights that may be as close as 75' on alternate sides of the street. Many are at 150'. Mr. Riehle stated Hastings was currently reviewing their street lighting standards because they would like to reduce their annual expenses for street light electricity and maintenance. Mr. Riehle stated there were 4,078 streetlights for an annual cost per streetlight being $51.29. Possible solutions would be to upgrade current standards or allow residents to add extra lights. Councilmember Whitesides stated he originally wanted to see more streetlights on Third Street, but that there were other areas in the city that would need more lighting. Councilmember Murray questioned the amount of lighting on Third Street compared to other streets and if there had been any complaints from other areas. Mr. Riehle stated there were concerns at 13th Street, Potash and Capital Avenue. Councilmember Larson stated concerns about how this came about, whether it was from the citizens or from the city. Councilmember Whitesides stated he felt we should look at the standards and possibly deal with these on a case-by-case basis. Lewis Kent, 624 Meves Avenue, mentioned that trees were growing over the lights and it might be helpful if they were trimmed to get the most benefit of these lights. Councilmember Whitesides recommended staff look at the standards and the lighting on Third Street and other arterial streets. Discussion Regarding Obstructions in the Right of Way. Steve Riehle, Public Works Director, reported that Easements and Alley/Street Right of Ways were used to build things such as electric lines, water mains, sanitary sewer mains, other utilities, streets and alleys. Easements allow use of the land while ownership remains with the original property owner. That enables the property owner to use their land with minimal impact on their property. Building or sign set backs are not impacted by the easements. Property for streets and alleys was acquired as Right of Ways. Right of Way does affect building set backs. Keeping those easements and Right of Ways clear of obstructions was difficult. Easements throughout town have been built up with fences, sheds, dog kennels, landscaping, sprinkler systems, and other obstructions. These obstructions make access to the easements and the utilities within those easements difficult if not impossible. Alley Right of Ways were Page 3, City Council Study Session, June 18, 2002 generally kept clear because they are only 16' to 20' wide and many of the alleys were regularly used by neighbors or garbage trucks. Street Right of Ways in areas where the sidewalk is at the back of curb were especially hard to keep clear of obstructions. Many property owners consider the land behind the curb to be their yard. Right of Ways are public property and any specific use by an individual at the expense of the general public use should be very limited. If an individual would like to use an easement or Alley/Street Right of Way they must obtain a license agreement with a $100 application fee. The license agreement is approved administratively after review by city staff and filed with the property documents at the Register of Deeds Office. If staff denies an application for a license agreement, the applicant can appeal the decision to council for an additional $50. Mr. Riehle stated the system was difficult to administer. City staff does not have time to patrol the town looking for obstructions that were being built. Some individuals follow the rules and ask for permission to install an obstruction by applying for a license agreement. Other individuals put up obstructions without asking for permission and hope to sneak by without getting caught. When caught they usually ask for forgiveness. Mr. Riehle stated obstructions in easements cause grief, but the obstructions (primarily fences) in the Right of Ways have staff concerned. Issues mentioned include safety for pedestrians using the sidewalk and where to put the snow during snow removal operations. Councilmember Walker questioned where the easements were. Mr. Riehle stated it varies across town. Councilmember Larson asked what recourse the city had if citizens built in the easement. Craig Lewis, Building Department Director, stated the city could make the property owner remove the structure. City Attorney Charlie Cuypers stated these problems has caused problems between neighbors. Lewis Kent, 624 Meves Avenue, questioned trees that were in the right-of-way and what could be done. City Attorney Charlie Cuypers stated that the City Code had regulations with regards to trimming trees. Review of Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2002-2003. Finance Director, David Springer reported that the fee schedule was reviewed at a study session before incorporating into the city's annual budget. The User Fee Schedule will be presented to the City Council for adoption on June 25, 2002. The Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department had proposed solid waste fee schedule because the proposed rate for packer trucks is being increased more then the other solid waste fees. Councilmember Pielstick stated she had problems with the increase in landfill fees. She felt raising rates would cause more people not to use the trash hauler services and more trash would be dumped in the roadsides. Public Works Director Steve Riehle made a presentation with regards to the landfill fees. Kevin McKennon, Solid Waste Superintendent, spoke concerning the landfill rates. Councilmember Walker commented that Council could not control what the haulers charge. Page 4, City Council Study Session, June 18, 2002 Councilmember Haase questioned the water park fees. Parks and Recreation Director Steve Paustian stated there were no other parks around this area to compare to and the increased fees would cover maintenance costs and salaries for the summer employees. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, RaNae Edwards City Clerk Item G3 Approving Request of CXT/LB Foster Company for Renewal of Conditional Use Permit for Temporary Structures at 710 E.

The following components are being added or replaced: digital relays, circuit breakers, communications equipment and panel meters. Almost all of our existing panel meters are analog which was industry standard until about 20 years ago. A major deficiency with analog meters is they are hardwired for a particular Current Transformer and Potential Transformer ratio. As Grand Island increases current carrying limits on distribution feeders, the existing analog meters no longer indicate correctly. Digital panel meters also give an indication of items such as power quality, which is becoming important in the future environment. A single digital panel meter measures multiple quantities through programmable instrument transformer ratios. A single type of digital panel meter will replace multiple types of analog panel meters. This reduces both total meter count and simplifies inventory. Discussion: The cost of digital panel meters is comparable to analog meters. The cost is sufficiently low that meters can be purchased individually, without taking bids. However, savings can be realized by obtaining competitive bids for quantity purchase. A single type of digital meter ensures consistency and simplifies design, programming, and operation. Rather than purchase digital panel meters individually, it is preferable to purchase a sufficient quantity to satisfy forthcoming needs. 110 meters were specified. The defacto standard for panel meters is the Bitronics (Recently purchased by Alstom.) digital meter. Several manufacturers can furnish meters comparable to the Bitronics meter. Specifications were written around the Bitronics meter but generic enough to allow other vendors to bid with only minor exceptions. Some exceptions are tolerable and represent mainly variations in display philosophy. Other exceptions cannot be tolerated. For our applications, digital panel meters must be DC powered, so they can indicate correctly during a power loss. They must be capable of severe current overloads, so they do not open current transformers during fault conditions. Some manufacturers market multiple lines of digital panel meters; the less expensive meters are incapable of meeting the most critical requirements. Specifications were prepared and advertised in accordance with City Purchasing Code. A total of eight bids were received from six manufacturers. Of those eight meters, four were Tuesday, June 25, 2002 Council Session City of Grand Island City of Grand Island City Council for the lower tier meters. Each of the six bidders produce meters that will fully comply with the intent of the Specifications, two of these manufacturers choose to offer only their less expensive, non-compliant products. The following information states the bids and the exceptions for each one. 1)Statec/Statec/PM130P-U-5-1AC - Exceptions - Will not accept 125 VDC control power input. Will not measure total harmonic distortion. Max withstand current is 250 A for 1 second.

Will not measure total harmonic distortion. Max withstand current is 250 A for 1 second. Notes - This is an alternate bid for Kriz-Davis - Total bid including tax and shipping $42,325.80 3)Electro Industries/Electro Industries/DMMS300-V-A-KW-120-115A-SF485 - Exceptions - Stated no exceptions on their bid, however, the part number given indicated a couple of exceptions. Will not accept 125 VDC control power input. Max withstand is 50 A for 3 seconds - Notes - Electro Industries makes but did not offer a higher quality meter. Total bid including tax and shipping $43,142.00 4)Wesco/PML/P6200A0A0B0A0A0R - Exceptions - Will not display min/max values on front panel (only available through a computer download). Max withstand current is 120 A for 1 second. Notes - PML makes but did not offer a higher quality meter. Total bid including tax and shipping $45,357.40 5)Satec/Satec/PM172P-U-5-ACDC - Exceptions - Stated no exceptions, however, further research indicates one minor exception. Max withstand current is 300 A for 1 second. Notes - The meter will continue to operate at the specified low temperature, however, at a lower accuracy. Total bid including tax and shipping $75,673.00 6)Kriz-Davis/Satec/PM172P-U-5-ACDC - Exceptions - Max withstand current is 300 A for 1 second. Notes - The meter will continue to operate at the specified low temperature, however, at a lower accuracy. Total bid including tax and shipping $83,135.80 7)Alstom/Alstom/Multicomm RTH Meter - Exceptions - Min amps per phase are not included. Frequency min/max is not included. Notes - Alstom recently purchased the Bitronics line of meters. Total bid including tax and shipping $90,750.00 8)Dutton Lainson/Schlumberger/Q1000 - Exceptions - Minor - Notes - There may be a premium grade of meters. Since the Bitronics style is adequate, this possibility was not investigated. Total bid including tax and shipping $369,505.40. Recommendation: After carefully evaluating the bids, it is the recommendation of the Utilities Department that Satec’s bid for $75,673.00 be accepted. This is the lowest price acceptable level meter listed. The Utilities Department has purchased two of Satec’s lower level meters for evaluation purposes and has been impressed with their quality. Satec’s higher-level meter meets all primary specifications with only one minor exception. Fiscal Effects: Expenditure of $75,673 from Electric Enterprise Fund 520.

In Nebraska, this designation includes reaches of the Platte, Niobrara, Loup and Missouri Rivers. It also includes river reaches and lakes in North and South Dakota and Minnesota. A map of the Nebraska designation is attached. Discussion: This designation has the potential to greatly change the way water is used in the State, including the City’s well field. The importance of the designation, and its possible affects on Nebraska water use, has been the catalyst to bring a number of organizations together as the Nebraska Habitat Conservation Coalition (NHCC). The group includes natural resource districts, power districts, irrigation districts and farm groups. Given this designation has the potential to affect the primary source of Grand Island’s drinking water supply, the Well Field, the City should participate in the coalition. A copy of the Interlocal Agreement for the NHCC is attached. Recommendation: It is the recommendation of the Utilities Department that the City join the coalition, funding from Fund 525, Water Enterprise Fund. Fiscal Effects: Expenditure of $3,000.00 annually for three years from Fund 525. There are sufficient funds available. Alternatives: Do not participate in the coalition. See attached RESOLUTION.

It also includes river reaches and lakes in North and South Dakota and Minnesota; and WHEREAS, this habitat designation has the potential to greatly change the way water is used in the state, including the City's well field; and WHEREAS, the importance of the designation, and its possible effects on the Nebraska water use, has been the catalyst to bring a number of organizations together as the Nebraska Habitat Conservation Coalition (NHCC), which group includes natural resource districts, power districts, irrigation districts and farm groups; and WHEREAS, because this habitat designation has the potential to affect the primary source of Grand Island's drinking water supply, the Platte River Wellfield, it is in the best interests that the City of Grand Island should participate as a member of the Coalition; and WHEREAS, the office of the City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form and content the Interlocal Agreement for NHCC members; and WHEREAS, any application of the City for membership in the coalition requires submission of an application, and approval by a vote of two-thirds of the current coalition members. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the City apply for member in the Nebraska Habitat Conservation Coalition through the Utilities Department, and that the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute the application and the appropriately revised Interlocal Agreement upon approval of the City's application by current coalition members.

The current agreement does not have any specific provisions covering service charges for inmates and employees of the Hall County Jail. This amendment would provide for such service and an agreement for reimbursement to the City. These charges are the remaining balance that are not paid by insurance or other means by the recipient of the service. This agreement provides for a sharing of unpaid costs by the City and the County through an agreed upon credit given to the County, above which, they reimburse the City for any unpaid costs. The details for the credited amounts in the remaining years of the contract are included in the amendment document.

The Program provides a 50/50 match by the City (through the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation/CYC grant funding) with the neighborhood associations. The City Council has established a $1,000 maximum match for the first projects undertaken by a neighborhood association under this program and a $3,000 match for any subsequent projects, upon successful completion of the first project. The Program guidelines provide for two grant cycles each year. It has been recommended that the two specific grant cycles be eliminated and that applications for neighborhood association grant funding be considered on a continuous basis, as funding allows. This year's budget includes $15,000 for this program. The proposed modification will allow new neighborhood associations the opportunity to form and apply for grant funding to assist in the installation of sidewalks. The prepared Resolution amends the policy for Community Connections to allow for consideration of grant applications at any time throughout the year. Approval is recommended.

As paying agent, the Treasurer collected special assessments and disbursed the proceeds to the bond underwriters for payment to bond holders. In the case of seven bond issues involved in this matter, the total payments received by the Treasurer exceeded the funds necessary to pay off the bonds, due to such matters as the timing of tax payments, early redemption of bonds, etc. The Treasurer has indicated an interest in paying the excess proceeds to the City provided the City agrees to hold the Treasurer harmless from any potential subsequent claim. These funds have had no activity for several years. According to the records of the Treasurer, the City and the bond underwriters, we can find no reasonable possibility of such a claim be made and accordingly would recommend that the $40,295.73 fund balances in fund nos. 8711-8718 be paid to the City’s general fund. Our recommendation is that the resolution requesting payment by the County Treasurer and agreeing to indemnify the Treasurer against any subsequent claim, be approved as drafted.
