Tuesday, August 13, 2002 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Marlan Ferguson City of Grand Island City Council DATE: August 9, 2002 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Marlan Ferguson, City Administrator RE: Schedule for Budget Work Sessions The Budget Hearing for the Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Proposed Budget will be held at the special City Council meeting on Monday August 12, 2002. Development of this year’s budget began with the Council Retreat in February followed by many discussions with the Department Directors. The Council then began reviewing the proposed budget on July 16th, 2002, with the outside agency review and discussion and review of the General Fund Capital Projects, and the Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 400). We have included an addendum to the draft of the Budget Document to add some items that were left out or the numbers changed after they went to the printer, including proposed changes from the Council. I would encourage you to spend a good deal of your time in the General Fund section, specifically on the General Fund Appropriation Summary which breaks down each department into Personnel Services, Operating Expenses and Capital Outlay. In June 1999, the Government Accounting Standards Boards (GASB) issued Pronouncement Number 34 known as GASB 34. This has caused some major changes in the financial reporting, which we will need to review as part of the budget process. Below is a proposed schedule for the presentation of the budget and the subsequent budget workshops. Note we will begin with the Public Hearing at 5:30. Monday, August 12, 2002 – 5:30 p.m. 1. Opening Comments 2. Budget Overview a. GASB 34 b. Current Lid Computations c. Mill Levy/Property Tax Asking d. Revenue/Expenditure Analysis e. Operating Cash Analysis f. General Fund Summary 3. Police Department General Fund 4. Public Works 5. Fire Services/Emergency Medical Services 6. Parks and Recreation Tuesday August 13, 2002 – Following the Regular Council Meeting 1. Utilities 2. Other Departments Wednesday, August 14, 20021 – 5:30 p.m. 1. Departmental Reviews as Requested 2. Review Changes and Finalize As was the case last year, we do not anticipate a line item process, but rather a focus on major budgetary changes, revenues, capital and bonding issues. If, after review of the budget document, there are specific departmental questions, please provide a listing of those questions and we will attempt to have the answers to your prior to the work sessions.

Tuesday, August 13, 2002 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Steve Riehle, City Engineer/Public Works Director City of Grand Island City Council Item E6 Public Hearing on Acquisition of Right of Way for Hike/Bike Trail Adjacent to St. Joe Railroad Tracks When the City built the hike/bike trail along the St. Joe line from the former Beltline to Stolley Park Road, the trail was constructed around, rather than across the John and Roccene Baasch property for several reasons. Mr. Baasch was active with his hobby of restoring horse drawn wagons and was pasturing his horses on the St. Joe Line right of way by virtue of a lease from the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Building the trail would have involved inconveniencing Mr. Baasch and trail users in order to provide access across the trail to the pasture for the horses. Mr. Baasch thought trail users might bother his horses and was concerned about the impact of the trail on his property. The City had initially sought to place the trail on the east or west side of the St. Joe Line right of way, but found that the UPRR opposed this type of usage as a matter of corporate policy and would litigate any acquisition of hike/bike trail ROW. In order to build the trail with the least disruption, the City obtained permission to run the trail across the parking lot of the Jan Thayer development to the south of the Baasch property and built around the north and west side of the Baasch property. The trail constructed on the west side of the Baasch property eliminated a requirement that they build a sidewalk at that location. In the course of extensive discussions with the UPRR about the trail, the St. Joe Line crossing and the routing around the Baasch property, we were informed by the UPRR that the pasture lease would expire in "a couple of years". City staff noted that the horses were no longer being pastured on the ROW this past spring. At about this same time Mrs. Thayer asked whether the City would consider moving the trail onto the Baasch property because her tenants were complaining about the traffic through the parking area. Not long thereafter Mr. Baasch passed away. In July Steve Paustian and the City Attorney separately contacted Baasch family members to inquire whether there was a willingness to discuss selling the City an easement for the hike/bike trail previously discussed. A suggestion was made that we might again approach the UPRR because the horse pasture would no longer be used. Although we responded that this was not likely to happen, we contacted the current local property manager for the UPRR and asked (1) if the pasture lease was ended, (2) if so, if we could have this confirmed in writing, and (3) whether a ROW lease for a trail was possible. The UPRR replied in the affirmative to the first two questions and in the negative to the last. The confirmation which was received from the UPRR stated that the lease was terminated at the City's request. This in fact was not that case. Our most recent contact with the Baasch family indicates that a voluntary acquisition is not likely and that an action in eminent domain will be required to obtain this right of way. The Baasch property is currently subject to two easements along the east side, including an 11 foot easement for storm water sewer and a 20 foot sanitary sewer easement. The proposed 16 foot hike/bike trail easement would line up with the existing trail to the south and will lie on the existing easements. We are requesting permission to acquire Tuesday, August 13, 2002 Council Session City of Grand Island City of Grand Island City Council the hike/bike trail easement by voluntary negotiations if possible, or by condemnation if necessary.

Pre- overhaul inspections of the exhaust gas ductwork between the boiler economizer and inlet of the precipitator found severe cracking in the expansion joints. The gas temperature in this area runs 700oF to 800oF. The cracking has been caused by infiltration of rain through the insulation and weather protection lagging system installed to protect and insulate the ductwork. The problem has developed to the point that repair of the expansion joints is not considered possible due to the severity of the cracking and the thinning of the base material. The expansion joints are the originals, installed when the Platte Generating Station was constructed over 20 years ago. Our consultant for this project, Sargent & Lundy, has recommended that the original metal joints be replaced with high temperature fabric joints, which are the current industry standard. They have also recommended that the insulation and lagging system be replaced to improve weather protection and to facilitate the construction required to install the new expansion joints. The inspections also indicated the precipitator inlet gas distribution baffles have severely deformed due to the high temperatures experienced during operation. Replacement of these baffles is recommended at this time also. In order to complete this needed maintenance work during the scheduled PGS overhaul outage, specifications were developed for the precipitator inlet and duct modifications by Sargent & Lundy and were issued in accordance with City purchasing procedures. Discussion: The specifications for the precipitator inlet and duct modifications were issued for bid and responses were received from the below listed bidders. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $350,000. Bidder: TIC Industrial Co. from Steamboat Springs, CO - Bid Price: $ 272,850. Bidder: Azco from Appleton, WI - Bid Price $ 358,168. Bidder: Southern Environmental from Pensacola, FL - Bid Price - $395,778. Bidder: Metro Engineers from Omaha, NE - Bid Price: $ 413,850 Recommendation: Department engineering staff reviewed the bids for compliance with the City’s detailed specifications.

Old Highway #30. Mr. Lee Meents has submitted an application for approval of a Manufacture Home Park at 3842 W. Old Hwy. #30. This request is to reopen the existing facility subject to past regulations and not be required to comply with the current provisions specified in the City Code. This property is the site of the former Bill's Mobile home Park which was closed and vacated by a consent judgment on July 16, 2001. The facility had not obtained a valid permit to operate since 1999 and had several continuing code violations and minimum housing concerns with the dwellings on the site. With the closing of the park in 2001 and the fact that a valid permit to operate a park for the last three years was not obtained any " Grandfather Rights" have been sacrificed. The provisions of City Code Chapter 21 are applicable and were identified in a letter to Mr. Meents on July 10,2002. The application being incomplete and not addressing the requirement specified in the City Code this item is presented for Council consideration as is.
