PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, every child deserves a loving, nurturing, and permanent family.
Sadly, abused and neglected children in the care of Nebraska
Department of Health and Human Services are waiting for such
a home. These children are not the newborns most people
picture when they think of adoption. Generally they are older
boys and girls and teenagers who have unique medical,
emotional, or physical needs; and
WHEREAS, adoption gives them a brighter future, brings great joy to the
adoptive parents, and places fewer demands on social services;
and
WHEREAS, approximately 225 children in the state of Nebraska and 50
children in the Tri-City area are waiting for an adoptive family;
and
WHEREAS, approximately 42 children were adopted in 2002 in Hall County,
Adams County and Buffalo County, combined.; and
WHEREAS, nearly all these children have special needs because of physical,
mental, or emotional disabilities, because they must be placed
with other siblings, because they are children of color, or
because they are school-aged; and
WHEREAS, these children need extra patience and support to help them
overcome previous hardships; and
WHEREAS, families are able and willing to adopt children who ha ve special
needs; and
WHEREAS, it is important to stress that a disability, low income, or being
single does not disqualify individuals from adopting; and
WHEREAS, children waiting for adoptive parents and families who have
adopted these children require and deserve community and agency
support.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Vavricek, Mayor of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska,
do hereby proclaim the month of November, 2003 as
”ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH”
in the City of Grand Island, and encourage community agencies,
religious organizations, businesses, and others to celebrate
adoption, honor families that grow through adoption, further an
awareness of the changes and issues in adoption, and focus
attention on those children who live in the shadow of uncertain
futures while they await permanent families.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of
the City of Grand Island to be affixed this eighteenth day of the
year of our Lord Two Thousand and Three.

#2003-BE-24 - Determining Correction of Benefits for Business
Improvement District No. 5
At the September 9, 2003 City Council meeting, the Council, acting as a Board of
Equalization, determined the benefits for Business Improvement District #5 and passed an
Ordinance to levy the assessments. In October, invoices were mailed to Downtown property
owners in Business Improvement District #5 detailing the assessments for 2003-2004. During
conversations with property owners, it was discovered that four invoices were based on
incorrect valuation figures. It is appropriate that the property owners for these four
properties be assessed the correct amount, based on corrected valuation figures. The affected
property owners, incorrect assessment amount and corrected assessment amount are as
follows:
Name Address Assessed Amount Correction
-Grand Island Hospitality LLC 507 W 2 $156.69 $453.20
Grand Island Hospitality LLC 507 W 2 $656.69 $0.00
Downtown Center, LLC 202 W 3 $2,813.17 $1,393.85
Manuel and Guadalupe Garcia 610 W 2 $848.48 $671.40
--Hall County 231 S Locust $1,280.69 $ 0.00
-GI Hospitality has been considered two accounts in the past - one account representing the
land and a second account for the building. The County Assessors office has combined the
two to one record. This update will allow our records to reflect the County process.
--Hall County is the current owner of the building referred to as the Beltzer Building. This
property, as a government facility, should be exempt from this
assessment.
In order to correct these assessments, the Council, in its capacity as the Board of
Equalization, must hold a public hearing on the proposed assessments. This will create a
reduction in the Business Improvement District #5 budget in the amount of $3,237.27. The
Business Improvement District Board has been made aware of this issue and will be
considering a motion to reduce their 2003-2004 Budget by this amount during their Board
meeting on November 18, 2003.

Item E1
Public Hearing on Request of Union Pacific Railroad for a
Conditional Use Permit for a Skid-Mounted Shed Located at 1219
1/2 North Front Street
Brian Symons representing The Forrester Group on behalf of the Union Pacific Railroad,
Kansas City, Missouri, has submitted an application with the City Clerk's Office to extend
their Conditional Use Permit for an additional two years to allow use of a 10' x 12' skid-
mounted shed with electrical service located at 1219 1/2 North Front Street. This request is
for use during a US EPA-mandated remediation project. The system is currently not
operating, but start-up should begin in May 2004 with operation planned for one year. The
equipment would be removed following the one year operation and shut down verification.
This request has been reviewed by the Building, Legal, Utilities, Regional Planning, and
Public Works Departments. It is appropriate at this time to solicit public comment. The
action item is contained under the Consent Agenda.

Item E2
Public Hearing on Request of Randy & Marianne Rapien for a
Conditional Use Permit for a Dealer Used Car Lot Located at 215
Willow Street
Randy and Marianne Rapien, 215 Willow Street have submitted a request for a Conditional
Use Permit to allow for the continued operation of a used car establishment at 215 Willow
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, with
the exception of landscaping as required by the Subdivision agreements. Landscaping was to
be installed adjacent to Highway #30 and is complete except for some additional plantings
scheduled to be installed by May 1st, 2004. The application includes both lots 1 and 2 of
Rapien's subdivision, but only lot 1 should be considered in this request as lot 2 has not been
improved or utilized as a used car lot. This application has been reviewed by the Building,
Legal, Utilities, Regional Planning, and Public Works Departments. Approval of lot 1 with
the condition that the landscaping be completed by May 1 2004 is recommended. It is
appropriate at this time to solicit public comment. The action item is contained under the
Consent Agenda.

TO: Mayor and City Council of Grand Island
FROM: Chad Nabity, Hall County Regional Planning Director
RE: El Huerto Subdivision
This subdivision is being presented to council as a Residential Development Zone (RD). Residential
development zones are relatively common in Grand Island and have been used effectively for the past 30 years.
Residential Development zones were included in the Grand Island Zoning Regulations for the following
purpose.
Purpose: So as to permit a more flexible regulation of land use, and so as to more fully implement comprehensive planning
for large parcels of land proposed predominantly for residential use, a district is hereby created to be called RD-Residential
Development Zone.
Continental Gardens west of West Lawn School on College Street was one of the first RD zones
permitted in the city. Other RD zones include Ponderosa Estates, North Pointe (Ray O’Connor’s new
apartments east of Diers Avenue and south of Hwy. 2), The River Bend Apartments (Pedcor), and Park Gardens
along Stolley Park Circle. There are 20 RD zones in the City of Grand Island or its 2 mile extra territorial
jurisdiction. Almost all of the RD zones in the City of Grand Island have private streets or private drives to
access apartments, condominium, or townhomes. Mobile home parks typically have private streets within them
and are designed and approved in process similar to the RD zone. There are at least 5 mobile home parks with
private streets in Grand Island. Attached is a map and table showing the Commercial (CD) and Residential
Development (RD) Zones and private streets within the Grand Island Jurisdiction.
The applicant for the RD zone is required to submit both the preliminary and final plat to the Planning
Commission and City Council for approval with the application to rezone the property. Approval to rezone the
property is predicated upon approval of the development concept displayed on the preliminary and final plats.
Regional Planning
Council can address the issues presented by El Huerto Subdivision in a number of ways.
1. Approve the request for a change of zone, preliminary and final plats as proposed by the
developer with 31’ private streets. Require sidewalks on both sides of the street with a
homeowners association to maintain the streets and common area landscaping.
2. Deny the request for a change of zone, the preliminary and final plats. The experience with
Ponderosa estates (a single family development with individual ownership of lots fronting onto a
private street) has not been positive from the city’s perspective. Private streets and drives to
access apartments or condominiums have not resulted in the same issues.
3. Refer the issue back to the Regional Planning Commission and ask them to make specific
recommendations underwhich they would or would not recommend approval of the request.
4. Approve the request for a change of zone, the preliminary and final plats contingent on the
developer resubmitting the plans with the streets dedicated to the public and built to the
minimum (37 foot) Grand Island standard for residential public street.
5. Approve the request for a change of zone, the preliminary and final plats contingent on the
developer resubmitting the plans with the streets dedicated to the public and built to a width of
31 feet with parking on one side as allowed by the subdivision with council approval.

PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
August 18, 2003
SUBJECT: Change of Zoning for property, proposed for platting as El Huerto
Subdivision, located in the E ½ NW ¼ of 10-11-9 located South of Capital Avenue,
and East of Saint Paul Road, from TA Transitional Agricultural to RD Residential
Development (C-2-2004GI)
PROPOSAL: This proposed development would create 115 lots for single-family
attached dwellings (duplexes or townhomes) in Northeast Grand Island. The developer
is proposing a residential development zone with lots ranging from approximately 5100
to 11,000 square feet. The development is proposed in two phases with 46 lots to be
developed in the first phase.
The internal streets will be 31’ wide back of curb to back of curb and are proposed as
private streets to be maintained by a homeowners association. All of the lots will be
served by public sewer and water.
The development standards for the subdivision would limit the type of construction to the
proposed attached single family dwellings. Owners of the houses would be required to
provide landscaping on their residential lot. Each pair of lots shall have one canopy tree,
one understory/ornamental or evergreen tree and four shrubs. Corner lots shall have
one additional tree and two shrubs. Tree species must be selected by the lot owner
from approved list furnished by the developer. This will provide continuity across the
development.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation: TA-Transitional Agriculture.
Permitted and conditional uses: TA - Agricultural uses, recreational uses and
residential uses at a density of 2 dwelling units per
acre.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Designated for future low to medium residential
development.
Existing land uses. Vacant
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations: North: R3-Medium Density Residential,
South, R2 Low Density Residential and R4 High
Density Residential
East, TA-Transitional Agriculture
and West:. TA-Transitional Agriculture and R2 Low
Density Residential
Permitted and conditional uses: TA- Agricultural uses, recreational uses and
residential uses at a density of 2 dwelling units per
acre. R2 residential uses at a density of 7 units per
acre. R3 residential uses at a density of 14 units
per acre. R4 residential uses at a density of 43
units per acre.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: North, South, East and West: Designated for
future low to medium density residential
development and or medium density residential to
to office uses.
Existing land uses: North,: Drainage ROW and vacant property
East, Agricultural land, Railroad ROW
West: Some acreage development along St. Paul
Road. Typical urban scale residential along the
south and west.
South: Typical urban scale residential
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
· Consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The subject property is
designated for long term low to medium density residential redevelopment. This
development would allow 115 dwellings on a 23.813 acre parcel. This is an average
of 4.95 units an acre or slightly less than the 7 units per acre permitted in the
adjacent R2 zoning district. The proposed development would be considered
between low and suburban density development.
· Provides additional housing opportunities in Northeast Grand Island. This part of
Grand Island has been developed for many years. There has been relatively little
new development in this area. New development shows that the area is a vital
growing part of the community.
· Provides for lower new construction housing in a lower price range than is available
across most of Grand Island. This development will provide for new construction
housing in a price range that is very hard to meet with the current costs of
development. The smaller lot sizes, attached single-family construction, and
standardized floor plans all make this project a more efficient (less costly)
development.
· Is infill development. This development is using property that is within the existing
functional and legal boundaries of the City of Grand Island.
· Accessible to Existing Municipal Infrastructure: City water and sewer services are
available to service the rezoning area.
· Monetary Benefit to Applicant: Would allow the applicant to develop and sell this
property.
· RD Zone limits the type of development: The type of development, including
buildings and landscaping is limited by the proposal submitted by the developer.
Uses that different than those shown on the plan can only be permitted by amending
the final development plan.
· Narrower Streets lower development costs: Narrower streets do not cost as much as
wider streets. These lower costs can be passed on to the homeowner. With this
development, the narrower streets also increase the amount of greenspace available
in this subdivision.
· Landscaping on individual lots: The developer will require that each lot have some
landscaping from a developer approved list of shrubs and trees. This will lend
continuity to the subdivision.
Negative Implications:
· Additional development in this part of town will increase the school age population:
Grand Island public schools will have to deal with additional students at Lincoln
elementary school. Phasing this development as proposed will allow the school
system to gauge the impact and react appropriately.
· Private Streets: Private streets are not uncommon in Grand Island but they do
sometimes present problems when the people who live along those streets need to
have the streets repaired or maintained. The City is not prepared to step in and take
over the maintenance of streets that were not built to the minimum city standards.
Private Streets are the only way to build a substandard street within the Grand Island
jurisdiction. · Sidewalk on one side of the street: The developer is proposing sidewalk on just one
side of the street. Sidewalks would be required along both sides of the street in a
conventional subdivision with city streets. What happens if a person on the side of
the street without sidewalks wants to install a sidewalk?
Other Considerations
The looped street layout will allow access to all lots from at least two directions. The
initial phase of this subdivision would include the southern portion of the development
and entrances from both 13th and 14th Streets. Connections are also provided for 15th
and 17th Streets to provide access into the development at some point in the future. The
developer is proposing that these entrances be built to the standard 37’ width. The
looped street and 14th street internal to the subdivision would be 31’ wide private streets.
The streets will be concrete curb and gutter with either asphalt or concrete surfacing. All
of the streets will be built as private streets. A homeowners association needs to be
developed for the maintenance of these streets.
Typically the Grand Island City Council requires sidewalk along residential streets on
both sides of the street. This development proposes sidewalk on one side of the street.
Given the likelihood that these houses will built for younger families sidewalks on both
sides of the street would be appropriate. Sidewalks on one side of the street encourage
people to cross the street at mid-block to use the sidewalk or to walk, ride and play in the
streets. Parity issues also arise because people on one side of the street have more
responsibility to maintain and clear sidewalks adjacent to their property that people on
the other side of the street, unless maintenance and snow removal on the sidewalks is
done by the association.
This particular property has been the subject of two RD zones since 1995. The first RD
was approved for apartments on the entire tract with 120 units on the smaller southern
tract (south of 14th Street) additional units were expected in the northern portion.
Nothing happened within the 18 month time frame after approval of the RD zone. The
applicant requested that the time frame be extended for the southern portion of the
project and this was approved. In January of 2000, that extension was reversed due to
the passage of another 18 months without any development.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City
Council approve the preliminary plat, final development plan of phase 1 of El Huerto
Subdivision and approve the change of zoning from TA-Transitional Agriculture to
RD-Residential Development Zone subject to subdivision agreements provided the
following items are provided to the City of Grand Island with the signed subdivision
agreement:
A copy of the homeowners association agreement to maintain the private
streets.
Each lot will have separate sewer, water and electrical connections.
Sidewalks are required along both sides of the street or maintenance and
clearing of the sidewalks is controlled through the homeowners association
agreements.

Dear Mayor and Members of the Council:
RE: An amendment to the Zoning Map for properties located South of Capital
Avenue, and East of Saint Paul Road, Grand Island, Nebraska. (C-2-2004GI)
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held October 1, 2003 the
above item was considered following a public hearing. This application proposes to
rezone property located in part of the E ½ NW ¼ 10-11-9. This application proposes to
change the zoning from TA Transitional Agricultural to RD Residential Development.
Nabity said that each lot will have separate sewer, water, and electrical, and the
sidewalks would be put on both sides of the street and not just one side.
Nobody from the public spoke against this item.
Ward F. Hoppe said the homeowners association will take care of the streets, they will
oversee such things as street maintenance & snow removal. He told the commission he
is trying to make affordable housing and targeting a Latin market. He is proposing the
narrow streets to keep the infrastructure cost down with an end result of keeping the cost
of lots down. He told the commission that we are the only City he has worked in that
requires such wide streets, and that is why nobody wants to develop in Grand Island.
Mr. Hoppe did submit a draft copy of the homeowners association agreement and
covenants to the planning commission as requested.
A few of the Planning Commissioners expressed concern with the narrow streets, the
homeowners association being in charge of maintaining the streets, and emergency
vehicles such as fire trucks being able to move around on the streets if there are cars
parked on the street.
Following further discussion a motion was made by Haskins 2nd by Hooker to approve
and recommend that the City of Grand Island approve this amendment to the Grand
Island Zoning Map.
A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed with 8 members present voting in favor
(Amick, Haskins, Lechner, O’Neill, Hooker, Miller, Hayes, Wagoner) and 2 members
voting against (Eriksen, Ruge).

Item E5
Public Hearing on Purchase of Yeager Property at 3000 East
Bismark Road Adjoining the South Side of the Waste Water
Treatment Plant
Background
A public hearing must be held and Council action by resolution for the City of Grand Island
to vacate and acquire property. Carole Yeager owns the property south of the Grand Island
Wastewater Treatment Plant and has offered to sell this property to the City for the assessed
value.
Discussion
The City's consultant for the wastewater treatment plant has recommended that the city
purchase properties that adjoin the wastewater treatment plant as they become available to
help create a buffer zone around the facility. The proposed property includes a gravel pit and
a dwelling house. The property is also adjacent to the east side of the Kennel Club property.
The Kennel Club Property was referred to the planning commission at the last City Council
meeting for a recommendation on annexation.
Recommendation
Conduct a public hearing as required by law and approve a resolution to acquire the property.
Financial Implications
Sufficient funds are available in the wastewater treatment plant budget for this purchase.
Alternatives
None: The property should be acquired to obtain a buffer around the plant.
It is appropriate to solicit public comment. The action item is contained under the Consent
Agenda.

Item F2
#8867 - Consideration of Creation of Water Main District 446T
Background:
The City is in the process of installing water mains and service lines in the North Road –
Husker Highway area. District 444, in Marylane Subdivision; and District 445, in the
Kentish Hills Subdivision, have previously been created to supply areas within the City
Limits. The new mains will provide a safe alternative to the recent discovery of ground
water contamination in private wells.
Discussion:
The new proposed district allows for installation of a 6” main connecting District 444 and
District 445 together. The interconnection will supply increased reliability and backup
capacity to the 50 homes in the two neighborhoods. The tie will also allow City service to be
extended to an addition residence outside the other Districts.
The construction is planned as a connection fee district. This is the method that allows the
City to recapture construction cost at the time a property actually begin to receive service.
The connection fees are not collected until they hook up to the new main.
Recommendation:
The appropriate documents, ownerships, and plat has been submitted to the Legal
Department. It is recommended Ordnance No. 8867, for creation of Water Main District
446T, be approved. Attached is a map showing the District’s boundary.
Fiscal Effects:
Sufficient funds are available in the FY 03-04 budget.
Alternatives:
Leave Districts 444 and 445 as radial feeds without looped configuration.

Item F9
#8874 - Consideration of Amending Chapter 2 of the Grand Island
City Code Relative to Community Redevelopment Authority
A request has been made to the city legal department to make revisions to Chapter 2, Article
XI of the Grand Island City Code which is the article dealing with the Community
Redevelopment Authority. Section 2-122 has been changed to permit people who are
residents of the City and who live within two miles of the corporate boundary of the City to be
eligible for appointment to the CRA. The proposed revisions would also eliminate section 2-
123 which requires that a member of the Community Projects Department be appointed to
act as Director of the CRA. The third change in the proposed revisions is adding a new
section 2-125 to the City Code which would require that a member of the City Council be
appointed by the Mayor to act as a liaison from the Council to the CRA.

City of Grand Island City Council
Abilities and Benefits in a
Designated Community Redevelopment Authority
Project Area
The Community Redevelopment Authority operates under the guidelines of the
Nebraska State Statutes, Article 21, the Community Development Law. In
creating this law, the State Legislature recognized that, in every community,
there are areas that are not as economically viable as they could be. They also
acknowledged that there are not enough general tax dollars to invest in these
particular areas to provide assistance and incentive to encourage these areas
to become more economically viable.
Although the legislative language defining the criteria for eligible areas is often
perceived as offensive, using words such as “blighted and substandard”, the
real-life effect is that they created redevelopment opportunities for the owners
of residential, commercial, and public real property located in these designated
areas.
The legislature created two primary abilities for Authorities, a small mill levy,
which can be used for projects of public benefit in their redevelopment areas;
and the ability to use tax increment financing assistance for public improvement
costs as an incentive to encourage residential and commercial economic
growth and redevelopment in the designated area.
At the close of 2002, there were 58 communities across the state, which have
undertaken tax increment financing assisted projects.
Examples of potential benefits and funding assistance in a qualified
blight/substandard redevelopment area include:
§ Public street improvements
§ Public utility improvements
§ Public sidewalks
§ Improvements to public property
§ Commercial public façade improvements
§ Land and structure acquisition
§ Rehabilitation of existing structures (particularly if the structure itself is
blighted and substandard)
§ Clearing of land
§ Grants to public and private entities (in accordance with the
redevelopment plan for the area)
§ Loans to public and private entities (in accordance with the
redevelopment plan for the area)
Uses of a Community Redevelopment Authority: 18-2103
The authority may expend funds to 1) acquire substandard or blighted
areas or parts thereof, including land, buildings, or improvements; 2) to
clear areas by demolition or removal of buildings, streets, utilities; 3) to
construct, install and reconstruct streets, utilities, parks, sidewalks, lighting,
skywalks, and many other public related improvements; 4) to sell, lease, or
otherwise make available land for residential, recreational, commercial,
industrial, and other uses; 5) to dispose of real and personal property, or
assets, cash, or other funds held in connection with residential,
recreational, commercial, industrial, and other uses; 6) to acquire real
property in a community redevelopment area which is to be repaired or
rehabilitated for dwelling use, and resell such property; 7) to carry out
plans for both voluntary and compulsory repair and rehabilitation of
buildings and improvements.
GRAND ISLAND
State statutes allow cities of the first class to designate up to 35% of the city
(corporate limits of Grand Island = approximately 609,452,603.25 square feet).
Grand Island has approximately 18% (85,985,444 square feet) in existing
designated blighted and substandard areas.
There are four (4) designated Blighted and Substandard Areas ranging

#8875 - Consideration of Amending Chapter 2-61 of the Grand
Island City Code Relative to the Community Development
Advisory Board
Section 2-61 of the Grand Island City Code requires the appointment of a seven member
Community Development Advisory Committee. Six of the members are to be representatives
of the citizens of Grand Island and the seventh member is to be a member of the City
Council. The wording of this ordinance implies that the six members are to be residents of
the City. This proposed change is being brought forward at this time to allow the Council to
consider the residency requirements for this board at the same meeting that these
requirements are being considered for the CRA Board and the Library Board. It has recently
come to the attention of City Officials that a member of this Board also lives outside of the
City limits but within the City's two mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. Amending this
ordinance would not conflict with state statutes.

#8876 - Consideration of Amending Chapter 19-3 of the Grand
Island City Code Relative to the Library Board
City Code section 19-3 requires that the mayor appoint a seven member Library Board. The
members are to be chosen from the citizens at large. I believe that this ordinance implies that
it is restricted to residents of the City of
Grand Island. This proposed revision is being brought forward at this time for consideration
by the Council so that the membership restrictions can be made consistent with the CRA
Board and the Community Development Advisory Board if the Council chooses to permit
people who reside within the City and the two mile extraterritorial jurisdiction to be eligible to
for service. It has recently come to the attention of City Officials that a member of this Board
lives outside of the Grand Island City Limits. Amending this section of the City Code will not
be inconsistent with and provisions of the Nebraska Statutes.

#2003-335 - Approving Acquisition of Utility Easement - 524 South
Webb Road - Burhoop
This item relates to the aforementioned Public Hearing.
Background:
Nebraska State Law requires that acquisition of property must be approved by City Council.
The Utilities Department needs to acquire an easement relative to property of B.E. and Bev J.

#2003-344 - Approving Request to Move Forward with
Implementation of Canine Unit
The Grand Island Police Department is seeking approval to move forward with the
implementation of a police canine unit. As outlined during the October 21st study session,
the canine unit would consist of two animals and their handlers. The handlers and their
animals would be assigned to the patrol division working shifts that correspond
with calls for service that most require a K-9 response. Training for the officers and the
animals will be completed at the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center starting in
January of 2004 at no cost to the city. The Grand Island Police Department has received
approximately $5,500 in donations designated for start-up costs for the K-9 unit. The start-
up costs for the animals, shelters, kennels, vehicle conversion, veterinarian, food, muzzles
and leashes is estimated at $15,000. The approval of the K-9 unit does not require hiring
additional manpower, purchase of vehicles, nor does it require additional monies to be
budgeted for the present fiscal year.

The Engineering Division inspects new water lines, surveys for construction projects, surveys
and drafts easement documents and gathers information for the GIS system. The

extended into the area. Water Extension District 445 was created by Council to extend City
water mains to address the contamination of private wells in the area.
Additionally, Water Main District 446T was designed to provide for the installation of a 6”
main between Kentish Hills Subdivision and Marylane Subdivision. The connection will
provide increased reliability and capacity for the residents in the two subdivisions. Attached
is a plat showing the District’s boundaries. Because of the timing of Council meetings and
the rush on this project, creation of Water Main District 446T is included on Council’s
agenda for the same meeting as award of this contract for district construction.

Requests for bids were sent to five contractors, six suppliers, and five plan service companies.
Bids were publicly opened at 11:00 am on November 14 in accordance with City
Procurement Codes. Four bids were received and have been checked and evaluated. A

#2003-348 - Approving Contracts with Green Leaf Lawn Service
Regarding the Parking Ramp and Downtown Parking District No. 1
In 1995 the City entered into a contract with Green Leaf Lawn Service to provide property
maintenance services for BID #2, Downtown Parking District #1 and the Parking Ramp.
The original contract with Green Leaf has expired and BID #2 is no longer in existence;
therefore, a new contract with Green Leaf is necessary. Bid #5 has been formed and it is now
contracting for its management and maintenance service separately from the City and will
enter into an agreement of its own for these services. The City is still handling maintenance
for the Parking District and for the Parking Ramp. Some of the maintenance items and the
timing of the maintenance is different for the Ramp and the Parking District so two separate
agreements have been drafted with the maintenance requirements for each entity being set
forth in an attachment to each proposed contract. The new agreements will be for a term of
one year and will automatically extend for up to four additional one year terms unless either
party gives notice of termination. The contract prices for each agreement are set forth in the
contracts and represent an estimate of the amount of time that will be devoted to the
maintenance of each entity. Approval is recommended.
