Item D7
#2003-BE-15 - Determining Benefits for Business Improvement
District No. 3
In March, 1999, the City Council adopted Ordinance #8452 creating Business Improvement
District #3, South Locust Street. The District was established for a 10-year period with
anticipated total assessment revenues of $314,447. The 2003-2004 Budget, as approved by
Council on July 22, 2003, provides for special assessments in the amount of $3.50 per front
footage for a total of $34,808.58 for the 9,945.29 front footage. As planned, the assessment is
up from last year's $3.00 as maintenance work has increased now that the project is
complete. Also, much of the budget, ($25,000), is targeted for the development of the green
space property adjacent to the Mid-Town Holiday Inn to be made into a South Locust
Tornado Memorial. Contract funding for services provided by the City to the BID have been
reduced from $5,000 to $1,750, reflecting the departure of the Community Projects Director.
It is recommended that the City Council, in it's capacity as the Board of Equalization,
determine the benefits of the District. Secondly, its recommended that the City Council
approve the assessments as provided for in the associated Ordinance.

#2003-BE-17 - Determining Benefits for Business Improvement
District No. 5
The current Downtown Business Improvement District, BID #2, expires on September 30,
2003. In May, 2003, Ordinance #8812 was approved by Council to create BID #5, effective
October 1, 2003, for a five year life. The BID Board developed a total, five-year budget of
$401,066, which equates to 0% increase from the existing budget of BID #2. The Council
approved this budget on July 22, 2003, which reflects considerable change in the allocation
of expenses, due to the departure of both the Community Projects Director and Downtown
Development Director. Half of the BID's operating expenses are planned for Contract
Services. The FY2003-2004 assessments have been set at $.3357 per $100 of assessed
valuation. It is recommended that the City Council, in it's capacity as the Board of
Equalization, determine the benefits of the District. Secondly, it is recommended that the
City Council approve the assessments as provided in the associated Ordinance.

Public Hearing on Request of Mert Nietfeld, 4934 Fort Kearney
Road for a Conditional Use Permit for an Auto Sales Lot Located
at 322 West 5th Street
Mert Nietfeld, 4934 Fort Kearney Road has submitted a request for a conditional use permit
to allow for the continued operation of a used car establishment at 322 West 5th Street. The
City Council earlier this year amended the City Code to require that existing vehicle sales
establishments without improved hard surfaced lots receive approval in the form of a
conditional use permit from the City Council. Section 36-49(A) allows for a waiver approved
by the City Council for businesses that were operating at the same location prior to March 9,
1999. This request appears to be in compliance with the established City Code and approval is
recommended. It is appropriate to solicit public comment. The action item is contained under
the Consent Agenda.

Public Hearing on General Property, Parking District #2 (Ramp),
and Community Redevelopment Authority Tax Request
Nebraska State 77-1601-02 requires that the City of Grand Island conduct a public hearing if
the property tax request changes from one year to the next. Our general property tax request
increased from $6,480,000 in FY2002-2003 to $6,599,570 for FY2003-2004, or an increase of
$119,570. This represents a 1.8% increase in property tax dollars and no increase in the city
of Grand Island's levy.
The property tax request for Parking District #2, also known as the Parking Ramp (Fund
271), decreased from $30,018 in FY2002-2003 to $28,000 for FY2003-2004, or a decrease of
$2,018. Parking District #2's levy decreased by 3.7%.
The property tax request for the Community Redevelopment Authority increased from
$431,150 in FY2002-2003 to $449,847 for FY2003-2004, an increase of $18,696. This
represents a 4.3% increase in property tax dollars and a 1.1% increase in the CRA's levy.
The City Council needs to pass a resolution by majority vote setting the property tax request
for the general property tax at $6,599,570, the Parking District #2 property tax at $28,000,
and the Community Redevelopment Authority property tax at $449,847. The property tax
request will be published in the Grand Island Independent on September 5, 2003. This
represents the final action to be taken on the FY2003-2004 Budget. It is appropriate at this
time to solicit public comment. The action is contained under Resolutions.

#8839 - Consideration of Amending City Code Chapter 13-3
Relative to Tax Rate for Downtown Improvement and Parking
District No. 1
This request is the annual Council action to establish the occupation tax that supports the
budget for Downtown Improvement and Parking District #1. Assessments in this district are
based upon an occupation tax on the public space of the businesses operating within the
District and are ordinarily paid by the business occupants of the space. This district has been
in place since 1975, and is primarily focused on physical improvements such as the purchase
and maintenance of parking lots and public green areas, the alleyway improvement project,
purchase of holiday decorations, flags, banners, trees, parking monitoring, and snow
removal and other activities as allowed by NE. Rev. Statutes 19-4016-4038. The FY2003-2004
occupation tax factor is $00.1342 per square foot of public use space, with a minimum
annual fee of $104.72. This level is slightly lower than last year’s tax factor of $00.1354. The
tax rate allows for the continuation and completion of many of the projects underway in the
Downtown area. These projects were identified in the Downtown Identity and Design Study
and have been adopted as priorities of the Downtown Board. Efforts include: maintenance
and care of the green space area in the downtown, including the pocket park on South Front
Street, Kaufman-Cummings Park, as well as the entryway signage, and parking enforcement.
Approval is recommended.

#8840 - Consideration of Creating Sidewalk District No. 1, 2003
On October 8, 2002, the Council passed a Resolution authorizing City Staff to contact
property owners in various areas of the city to give notice to construct sidewalks. The
deadline for construction was set as the beginning of the fall 2003 school term. Council
action is required to create a Sidewalk District for construction of sidewalks for owners who
did not comply.
The following properties have been notified and asked to install sidewalks and have not taken
action:
Vacant Lot on Grand Avenue, All except the west 40’ of Lot 12, Block 2, replat of Riverside
Acres;
1804 Barbara Avenue; 105 Wedgewood Drive; 109 Wedgewood Drive; 203 Wedgewood

the work. Bids would be solicited and a contractor hired to complete the installation. If the
work is completed by the property owner before construction is started by the City’s
contractor, then the property will be removed from the District.
It is recommended that an ordinance be passed to create a District to provide for the
construction of the sidewalks. The proposed District would include the properties that have
not completed their sidewalks.
The cost of the sidewalks installed by the City and the applicable 10% engineering, inspection
and administration fee would be assessed to the benefiting property owner and collected over
a seven-year period.

#8847 - Consideration of Assessments for Business Improvement
District No. 3
In March, 1999, the City Council adopted Ordinance #8452 creating Business Improvement
District #3, South Locust Street. The District was established for a 10-year period with
anticipated total assessment revenues of $314,447. The 2003-2004 Budget, as approved by
Council on July 22, 2003, provides for special assessments in the amount of $3.50 per front
footage for a total of $34,808.58 for the 9,945.29 front footage. As planned, the assessment is
up from last year's $3.00 as maintenance work has increased now that the project is
complete. Also, much of the budget, ($25,000), is targeted for the development of the green
space property adjacent to the Mid-Town Holiday Inn to be made into a South Locust
Tornado Memorial. Contract funding for services provided by the City to the BID have been
reduced from $5,000 to $1,750, reflecting the departure of the Community Projects Director.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the assessments as provided for in this
Ordinance.

#8849 - Consideration of Assessments for Business Improvement
District No. 5
The current Downtown Business Improvement District, BID #2, expires on September 30,
2003. In May, 2003, Ordinance #8812 was approved by Council to create BID #5, effective
October 1, 2003, for a five year life. The BID Board developed a total, five-year budget of
$401,066, which equates to 0% increase from the existing budget of BID #2. The Council
approved this budget on July 22, 2003, which reflects considerable change in the allocation
of expenses, due to the departure of both the Community Projects Director and Downtown
Development Director. Half of the BID's operating expenses are planned for Contract
Services. The FY2003-2004 assessments have been set at $.3357 per $100 of assessed
valuation. It is recommended that the City Council approve the assessments as provided in
this Ordinance.

Item F13
#8851 - Consideration of Amendment to Salary Ordinance Relative
to Computer/GIS Technician
Proposed is a correction to the last salary ordinance. The new position that was approved in
the budget session was a Computer/GIS Technician that will be split between the I.T.
Department and Public Works. This position is a blended position with a blended wage. It
was overlooked in the last ordinance, thus a correction is appropriate. Approval is
recommended.

RESOLUTIONS:
#2003-249 – Approving Addendum to Lease Purchase Agreement with Fonner Park. Doug
Walker, City Attorney reported that on October 9, 2001 the City of Grand Island entered into a
Lease Purchase Agreement with Fonner Park Exposition and Events Center ("Heartland") to
develop an exposition and events center that would be owned be the City when all of the lease
payments had been made.
Heartland was required to obtain commitments for all of the funds to be used for the construction
of the events center other than the City portion which would consist of lease payments made over
a ten year period. The original agreement required Heartland to have all of the fundraising
complete by October 9, 2003. Heartland has raised approximately 86% of the funding to
construct the event center; however, it would not be able to meet the deadline in the original
agreement for having 100% of the funds raised.
One of the provisions of the addendum to paragraph three of the original purchase agreement
was to give Heartland until October 9, 2005 to complete the fundraising requirements. Another
issue addressed by the addendum to the lease purchase agreement was that of obtaining a sales
tax exemption for the supplies and materials used to construct the events center.
The addendum contains changes to paragraph number six to the original agreement which
enhances the city's position for seeking and obtaining a ruling from the Nebraska Department of
Revenue that would exempt the project from sales taxes. If the city was successful in obtaining
an exemption this could result in significant savings on the original estimated cost of the project.
Another development that had occurred since the original Lease Purchase Agreement was signed
is that the Nebraska Department of Economic Development has promulgated rules for
municipalities to apply for grants pursuant to the Local Civic, Cultural and Convention Center
Financing Act. The addendum to the purchase agreement states that the City would seek a grant
Page 6, City Council Regular Meeting, August 26, 2003
to help provide some of the construction costs of the event center. If Grand Island was successful
in obtaining a grant it would be eligible to receive up to $500,000 for this project.
Motion was made by Seifert, second by Walker, to approve Resolution #2003-249. Upon roll
call voted, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
#2003-250 – Consideration of Approving 1% Increase to the Lid Limit. David Springer, Finance
Director reported that in 1998 the Nebraska State Legislature passed LB989, which put a cap on
the amount of restricted revenues a political subdivision could budget for.
The restricted revenues that the City of Grand Island included in the budget were Property Taxes,
Payments in Lieu of Property Tax, Local Option Sales Tax, Motor Vehicle Tax and State Aid. Of
these restricted revenues, property tax was the only revenue that the City could control.
The increase in restricted funds authority using the 1% additional amount and the population
growth (when available) was not an increase in budgeted revenues. It only provided the ability to
increase restricted revenues, particularly property tax, in a future year if necessary, if council so
decides.
Discussion was had concerning taxes and unused restricted funds.
Motion was made by Whitesides, second by Meyer, to approve Resolution #2003-250. Upon roll
call vote, Councilmembers Meyer, Whitesides, Gilbert, Nickerson, Seifert, Pauly, Hornady, and
Walker voted aye. Councilmembers Haase and Pielstick voted no. Motion adopted.
#2003-251 – Approving IBEW Contract. Brenda Sutherland, Human Resources Director
reported that the City and the IBEW Union (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers)
had been involved in contract negotiations to replace the current contract which would expire on
September 30, 2003.
Employees represented by the IBEW were found in the Utilities department, the Finance
department, and the Information Technology department. A red-lined copy of the current
contracts with the proposed changes were available in the Human Resources Department.
The proposed contract would run for five years with wage changes as follows: Year 1 - survey
plus 2% COLA, Year 2 - 2.5% COLA, Year 3 - 3% COLA, Year 4 - survey and Year 5 - 3%
COLA. The salary changes in the first year ranged between 2.5% and 5% per the survey with an
additional 2% COLA.
Motion was made by Pielstick, second by Hornady, to approve Resolution #2003-251. Upon roll
call vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
#2003-252 – Approving Bid Award for Sludge Handling Improvements Project at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant (Project 2003-WWTP-1) with John T. Jones Construction of Fargo,
North Dakota in an Amount of $8,462,000.00. Steve Riehle, Public Works Director reported that
the Wastewater Division of the Public Works Department advertised for bids for this project on
Page 7, City Council Regular Meeting, August 26, 2003
July 1, 2003 and opened bids on August 7, 2003. The Public Works Department, Wastewater
Division, and the Purchasing Division of the City Attorney’s Office had reviewed all bids
received.
Four bids were received with base bids ranging from $8,041,000 to $9,950,000. The engineer’s
opinion of costs for the base bid was $7,800,000. The additive alternate bids ranged from
$421,000 to $533,000. The engineer’s opinion of costs for the alternate was $371,000. The
estimate was considered within the range of accuracy for an estimate of costs for this type of
project.
Consulting Engineering Firm CH2MHill had reviewed the bids to see where differences exist
between the estimate and the bid. The major difference lies in the structural and architectural
bids. The estimate was developed on the basis of a cost per square foot whereas the contractor’s
bid was based on detailed quantity take-offs. The contractor’s bid for the structural and
architectural was higher then the estimate because of the heavy mechanical equipment needing
support in the second floor of the facility.
Staff recommended that the bid be awarded to John T Jones Construction of Fargo, North Dakota
with a base bid of $8,041,000 plus $421,000 for the additive alternate bid for a total bid of
$8,462,000 as the lowest responsible bid. Reference checks with the Engineer and staff with the
City of Omaha’s Wastewater Division were very favorable.
Staff recommended against rejecting all bids and re-advertising because all of the bidders had
shown their numbers and the bids the second time around would almost always be higher unless
the project could be scaled back. Mr. Riehle stated we could not scale back the operations
portions of this project and keep pace with increasing wastewater flows. They also do not want
to eliminate the odor control measures that are part of this project.
Discussion was had concerning the time frame and odor control issues. Mr. Riehle stated he
thought this would be completed some time next fall.
Motion was made by Meyer, second by Whitesides, to approve Resolution #2003-252. Upon roll
call vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
PAYMENT OF CLAIMS:
Motion by Seifert, second by Walker, carried unanimously to approve the Claims for the period
of August 13, 2003 through August 26, 2003, for a total amount of $3,529,762.79. Motion
adopted.
SPECIAL ITEMS:
Councilmember Larry Seifert commented on his 13 years of service. He thanked his family,
current and previous council members, and city staff. Mayor Jay Vavricek presented
Councilmember Seifert with a plaque and certificate.

#2003-255 - Approving Bid Award for Construction of Water
Main District 441 and 442T
Background:
The contract provides for installation of a 10” water main in Faidley Avenue, from Diers
Avenue to the Moore’s Creek Outfall Ditch. District 441 is an assessment district to serve the
Crane Valley 6th and 7th Subdivisions on the north side of Faidley. The eligible construction
costs will be collected over a five year period from the property owners within the district.
District 442T was created for the two large lots on the south side of Faidley. These un-
developed tracts have the potential to be re-subdivided. This would allow the City to
recapture construction cost if they were made into smaller lots and connect to the public
main. Attached is a plat of the area.
Discussion:
Plans and specifications were sent to four potential bidders and five plan service companies.
Bids were publicly opened at 11:00 a.m. on August 28, 2003 in accordance with the City

$37,484.00. 3) Diamond Engineering of Grand Island, NE - Exceptions: None - Bid Price:
$32,306.00.
Recommendation:

award the contract for Water Main District 441/442T to the low responsive bidder: Starostka
Group Co. of Grand Island, in the amount of $29,688.00. Their bid is below the engineer's

#2003-262 - Approving Continuation of Sanitary Sewer District
No. 510, American Independence & Western Heights 4th & 5th
Subdivisions
Council created the district at the July 22, 2003 council meeting. Gary Valasek, owner of
American Independence Subdivision requested the creation of this District.
Public Works staff established a boundary for the District that makes sense for the area.
Properties in Western Heights 4th and 5th Subdivisions and part of Section 11-11-10 were
included to make the proposed District larger. Property owners in Western Heights
Subdivisions have expressed concerns that their inclusion with the properties in American
Independence Subdivision has unfairly stacked the deck against them. Staff will present a
summary of the protests received on the district at the council meeting.
Many districts have been created and were unsuccessful in the Western Heights area. Some
individuals are against the districts because they may have relatively new septic system. They
are not interested in city sanitary sewer till they get more useful life out of their investment.
Some of those properties now support a district because they may be having problems with
their septic systems. Others have replaced their systems and now are against a district. It
may be impossible to find a time for a sanitary sewer district when enough property owners
support the district.
Legal notice of the creation of the district was published in the Independent and notice sent
to the property owners on that same date. The district completed the protest period at 5:00
PM on Thursday, August 28, 2003. Protests were filed by 16 property owners representing
2,189.08 front feet, or 38.96% of the total district frontage of 5,619.10 feet.
Staff recommends continuing with the district.

Light Agreement at Stolley Park
A modification to the current agreement with the Humane Society for the Holiday Light fund
raiser is being proposed. This modification would allow the City to provide up front payment
for the electrical modifications at Stolley Park necessary to facilitate the lighting display.
The Humane Society would then reimburse the City for the costs of the electrical installation
at a rate of 15% of the net proceeds of the event until all monies are reimbursed. It is
anticipated the original cost of installation will be less than $40,000.00. The Humane
Society is also soliciting funds to help defray the cost of the electrical installation and so
monies needed from the City may be substantially less than the $40,000.00 estimate.

#2003-266 - Approving Authorization to Rescind Resolution
Number 2003-252 and Intent to Award Bid for Project 2003-
WWTP-1 on October 14, 2003
Background
The city council approved Resolution Number 2003-252 at the August 26, 2003 meeting.
Although bond financing for this project is available, appropriation for the funding of the
project will not be available till October 1, 2003 when the new budget year starts. Because the
appropriation is not available in the current fiscal year it will be necessary to rescind the
original resolution awarding the bid.
Discussion
City staff has had numerous discussions with representatives of John T. Jones Construction
in reference to scheduling of the project and the impact that a delay in the awarding of the
contract would have on the completion date for this project. To ensure the project remains
on track, they have requested that the council pass a resolution showing their intent to award
the bid to their company at the first regular council meeting in October. The contractor will
begin ordering supplies, scheduling subcontractors, etc in expectations of a fall start date for
the project.
Recommendation
Pass the resolution rescinding the original resolution and indicating the cities intent to award
the bid at the October 14, 2003 regular city council meeting to John T. Jones Construction.
Financial Implications
There will be no fiscal impact this year as a result of this action because a resolution
considered at the first meeting in October will award the contract. Sufficient funds are
available in FY 2003/2004 budget under account number 530330054-85213.
Alternatives
No alternatives are considered reasonable because we would like to keep this project on
schedule.

Request for Approval to Construct a Single Family Dwelling on the
South 20,500 Square Feet of Lot 50, Kuesters Lake
Vince Dowding representing Dr. & Mrs. VanWie has submitted a request to construct a
single family dwelling on the south 20,500 square feet of lot 50 at Kuesters Lake. The Grand
Island City Code requires council approval of this request as the property is a legal
nonconforming use as several dwellings are located on one property. Section 36-86 of the
City code states any extensions or expansions of a nonconforming use must receive Council
approval. Additionally City Code section 8-22 provides that no permit shall be issued until
authorized by resolution of the City Council where the real property described in the
application does not front upon a dedicated street or public road. The basic request is to allow
for an additional dwelling to be constructed on the Kuesters Lake property, the property is
one tract with several dwellings and a social club built several years ago which do not comply
with zoning restrictions imposed today. It would appear prudent to require the property to
either comply with existing zoning restrictions or rezone the entire tract to a Residential
Development zone which allows a more flexible regulation of land use. The approval of an
onsite wastewater treatment system for this proposed location has been received from the
State of Nebraska, Department of Environmental Quality. In reviewing that approval it does
not appear that all the neighboring sites have been considered nor have their field and
reserve spaces been identified. With the concerns and difficulties staff has had in the past
locating building additions, wells, and replacement septic systems, it doesn't appear prudent
to allow for additional dwellings to be constructed unless and until the entire site has been
evaluated with respect to future needs.

FY2002-2003 to $6,599,570 for FY2003-2004, or an increase of $119,570. This represents a
1.8% increase in property tax dollars and no increase in the city of Grand Island's levy.
The property tax request for Parking District #2, also known as the Parking Ramp (Fund
271), decreased from $30,018 in FY2002-2003 to $28,000 for FY2003-2004, or a decrease of
$2,018. Parking District #2's levy decreased by 6.7%.
The property tax request for the Community Redevelopment Authority increased from
$431,150 in FY2002-2003 to $449,847 for FY2003-2004, an increase of $18,696. This
represents a 4.3% increase in property tax dollars and a 1.1% increase in the CRA's levy.
The City Council needs to pass a resolution by majority vote setting the property tax request
for the general property tax at $6,599,570, the Parking District #2 property tax at $28,000,
and the Community Redevelopment Authority property tax at $449,847. The property tax
request will be published in the Grand Island Independent on September 5, 2003. This
represents the final action to be taken on the FY2003-2004 Budget.
