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.

This request appears to be in compliance with the established City Code and approval is recommended. It is appropriate to solicit public comment.

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 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.

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.

The District was established for a 10-year period with anticipated total assessment revenues of $314,447.

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. Page 8, City Council Regular Meeting, August 26, 2003 Mayor’s Appointment of ward I Councilmember.

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.

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.

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.

Riehle, City Engineer/Public Works Dir City of Grand Island City Council Approved as to Form ¤ ___________ September 4, 2003 ¤ City Attorney R E S O L U T I O N 2003-266 WHEREAS, on August 26, 2003, by Resolution 2003-252, the City Council for the City of Grand Island approved the bid of John T. Jones Construction of Fargo, North Dakota in the total amount of $8,462,000 for the construction of sludge handling improvements (Project 2003-WWTP-1); and WHEREAS, although bond financing is available for the project, appropriation for the funding of such project will not be available until the 2003-2004 budget year which begins on October 1, 2003; and WHEREAS, due to the lack of appropriation in this fiscal year, it is necessary to rescind Resolution 2003-252 awarding the bid of such project; and WHEREAS, at this time it is requested that the City notify John T.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that Resolution 2003-252 is hereby rescinded. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City intends to award the bid to John T.

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.

Tuesday, September 09, 2003 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: RaNae Edwards City of Grand Island City Council Item I1 #2003-267 - Approving General Property, Parking District #2 (Ramp), and Community Redevelopment Authority Tax Request This item relates to the aforementioned Public Hearing. 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 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.
