Item E3 Public Hearing on General Property, Parking District #2 (Ramp), and Community Redevelopment Authority Tax Request Tuesday, September 14, 2004 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: David Springer City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: David Springer, Finance Director Meeting: September 14, 2004 Subject: Public Hearing and Resolution Approving General Property, Parking District No. 2 (Ramp), and Community Redevelopment Authority Tax Request Item #’s: E-3 & I-1 Presenter(s): David Springer, Finance Director Background Nebraska State Statute 77-1601-02 requires that the Cit y of Grand Island conduct a public hearing if the property tax request changes from one year to the next. Our general property tax request decreased from $6,599,570 for FY2003-2004 to $4,708,194 for FY2004-2005, or a decrease of $1,891,376. This represents a 28.7% decrease in actual tax dollars, a 32.7% decrease in the City’s levy, and a $2,288,916 decrease from the current levy, if it remained unchanged. The property tax request for Parking District No.2, also known as the Parking Ramp (Fund 271), decreased from $28,000 in FY2003-2004 to $26,000 for FY2004-2005, or a decrease of $2,000. Parking District No. 2’s levy increased by 13.9%, as the districts valuation decreased by 18.5%. This is the third consecutive year that the tax asking has been reduced for the Parking Ramp. The property tax request for the Community Redevelopment Authority increased from $449,847 for FY2003-2004 to $457,391, an increase of $7,544. This represents a 1.7% increase in property tax dollars and a 4.1% decrease in the CRA’s levy. Discussion The City Council needs to pass a resolution by majority vote setting the property tax request for the general property tax at $4,708,194, the Parking District No.2 property tax at $26,000, and the Community Redevelopment Authority property tax at $457,391. The property tax request will be published in the Grand Island Independent on September 8, 2004. It is appropriate at this time to solicit public comment. The action is contained under Resolutions. This represents the final action to be taken on the FY2004-2005 Budget. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the General Property, Parking District No. 2, and CRA tax requests. 2. Modify the Budget and tax requests. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the tax requests and levies as presented. Sample Motion Approve the FY2004-2005 General Property, Parking District No.2, and Community Redevelopment Authority tax requests and levies, as presented in the related Resolution.

Timothy and Mary Arends own the property at 414 Shady Bend Road and have agreed to sell the ir property as part of the overall settlement of the litigation that was initiated by the Arends in 2003. Discussion The settlement of the lawsuit is in the total amount of $240,000.00. This property is being acquired for $205,000.00 of the total. The remaining $35,000.00 of the settlement is for reimbursement of the Arends’s expenses; alleged damages and relocation costs. The Arends’s property was appraised for $205,000.00 in an appraisal completed by a certified appraiser. The appraisal was part of establishing an acquisition price for the real estate and an overall settlement for the lawsuit. An appraisal was also done to comply with the requirements of Nebraska Revised Statute Section 13-403 which requires municipalities to obtain an appraisal of real property purchased for more than $100,000. Alternatives 1. Conduct a Public Hearing and approve the acquisition of the Arends property. 2. Disapprove or /Deny the acquisition of the Arends property. 3. Modify the recommendation to meet the wishes of the Council. 4. Table the issue.

Smith, Asst. Utilities Director Meeting: September 14, 2004 Subject: Acquisition of Utility Easements – North and South of East Hwy. 30, West of Shady Bend Road – Woodwood Family Trust and Woodward Marital Trust Item #’s: E-7 & G-17 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background Nebraska State Law requires that acquisition of property must be approved by City Council. The Utilities Department needs to acquire four easements relative to the property of Margaret G. Woodward and Robert M. Wagner, Trustee of the Woodward Family Trust and Woodward Marital Trust, located along East Hwy. 30, in the area of Shady Bend Road, in the City Of Grand Island, Hall County, in order to have access to install, upgrade, maintain, and repair power appurtenances, including lines and transformers. Discussion These easements will be used to relocate overhead power lines and the required anchors to back-up those lines. The expansion and widening of East Hwy. 30 has caused the need to relocate overhead power lines. In most cases, the relocated lines are in right-of-way acquired by Nebraska Dept. of Roads. As a line crosses a road, it must be backed up by anchors that are not in the right-of-way. These anchor easements must be acquired from adjacent property owners. In the case of easement #1 and #2 an existing line was upgraded from single phase to three phase and is now used as a feeder. Documentation did not exist for the single phase line so it will be included in this acquisition. The amount proposed to be paid for the easements is the same as that paid by Nebraska Department of Roads to the landowners for adjacent property. This was established by a court decision. The amount for each is: #1 $1,760.00 #2 $ 720.00 #3 $ 73.46 #4 $ 36.73 TOTAL $2,590.19 Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the payment and acquisition of the easements. 2. Deny the acquisition of the easements. 3. Modify the request to meet the wishes of the Council. 4. Table the issue. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the resolution for the acquisition of the easements for a total of $2,590.19.

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 and maintenance of public parking lots and green areas and other activities as allowed by NE. Rev Statutes 19-4016-4038. Discussion The FY2004-2005 occupation tax factor is $.1377 per square foot of public use space, with a minimum annual fee of $104.72. Total non-exempt footage in the District is 316,902 which would provide for occupation taxes of $44,645.52. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the amendment to the city code. 2. Modify the amendment to meet the wishes of the Council. 3. Deny the amendment. Recommendation City Ad ministration recommends that the Council approve the amendment to City Code.

Mader City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Meeting: September 14, 2004 Subject: Water Rate Change Item #’s: F-5 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background The Water Department last had a rate increase in 1994. Over that 10 year period, the system has grown from 222 miles of pipe to 255 miles of pipe, an increase of 15%, and the pressures to continue to expand the system are expected to continue. Over the last 10 years the inflation rate has been relatively lo w, but expenses have steadily increased as the price of materials, labor and power have increased and are projected to continue to do so. Discussion In order to meet increasing costs and maintain the financial position of the Water Department to meet growth, sometimes on an emergency basis as in the Mary Lane area, the Utilities Department proposes a rate increase. A 2% rate increase is included in the ’04 – ’05 Water Department budget. The table below provides a comparison of the present and proposed rate schedule.

Council on May 20, 2003, by Ordinance No.8812, created BID No.5 with a five year life, to replace the defunct BID No.2. At that time, there were a number of delinquent assessments due BID No.2 for which the City Attorney was seeking collection. Most of these have subsequently been collected and two are still on a payment plan. All known encumbrances and liabilities for BID No.2 will have been paid before this fiscal year is closed, leaving a cash balance of $2,500 - $3,000. Discussion The old BID No.2 Fund needs to be closed out and any cash balance dispositioned by Council. The new downtown district has the same boundaries as the old one, and while appropriated to spend, these monies were not available to the old district, but could be moved to the new BID No.5 for it’s’ use, if council so chooses. The alternative would be to refund the remaining BID No.2 monies back to the district. With 291 businesses, the average would be under a ten dollar refund and costly to effect, as each would need to be set up as a payable account. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the transfer of the cash balance and future collections of BID No.2 to its’ current counterpart, BID No.5. 2. Disperse the funds back to the District. 3. Modify the Resolution to meet the wishes of the Council Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the transfer of funds from the old to the new BID. Sample Motion Approve the Transfer of Funds from BID No. 2 to BID No.5. Approved as to Form ¤ ___________ September 9, 2004 ¤ City Attorney R E S O L U T I O N 2004-230 WHEREAS, Business Improvement District No. 2 was created on January 25, 1999, by Ordinance No. 8402; and WHEREAS, such district was created for the purpose of making improvements to the downtown area; and WHEREAS, Business Improvement District No. 2 expired at the end of the 2002-2003 budget year ; and WHEREAS, all improvements associated with such district have been completed, and assessments against the property in the district will be fully collected by September 30, 2004; and WHEREAS, it is anticipated that as of September 30, 2004, a balance of approximately $3,000 will be remaining from Business Improvement District No. 2 operations; and WHEREAS, it is recommended that such balance be transferred to Business Improvement District No. 5, which encompasses the same general area as Business Improvement District No. 2. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that all funds remaining in Business Improvement District No. 2 as of September 30, 2004, and any future payments received from Business Improvement District No. 2 assessments shall be transferred to Business Improvement District No. 5. - - - Adopted by the City Council of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, September 14, 2004. _______________________________________ RaNae Edwards, City Clerk Item G22 #2004-231 - Approving Assignment of Lease from Toba, Inc. to the City of Grand Island, Utilities Department, for Union Pacific Railroad Right-of-Way Tuesday, September 14, 2004 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Gary R. Mader; Doug Walker City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Doug Walker, City Attorney Meeting: September 14, 2004 Subject: Thompson Building; assumption of Union Pacific Lease Item #’s: G-22 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background The Electric Department, Line Division and Underground offices, shops and storage facilities are located in the 1100 block of West North Front Street. The current buildings were first built over 35 years ago. As the City has grown, so have the Utility’s electric distribution divisions. Rather than abandon the current site and build new to meet this growth, the Utilities Department has acquired suitable adjacent properties as they have become available and integrated those facilities into the previously constructed facilities. The old YMCA property, which was located on the same block, was acquired in the 70’s. A private residence in that same block was acquired in the 80’s, and a commercial business in the block just east was acquired in the 90’s. These acquisitions have been fully integrated into the Line Division’s operations, and have provided well for the needed growth. The property located at 1209 – 1219 West North Front, generally referred to as the Thompson Building, was approved for purchase to continue the expansion of the Line Division facilities in the area at the Council meeting of March 23, 2004. Discussion The Purchase Agreement approved in March contained several contingencies required by the City to protect its interests in the proposed purchase. One of those contingences was the assumption of a 20 year lease with Union Pacific Railroad for property upon which a portion of the building is located. The business use of property leased from Union Pacific is a common situation in the central part of the City. Parts of the Public Works Department Shops are on property leased from the Railroad. Union Pacific has agreed to assign the property lease to the City. A copy of the Agreement is attached. The proposed Lease Assignment has been reviewed by the Legal Department. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the Lease Assignment. 2. Deny the Lease Assignment. 3. Modify the Assignment to meet the wishes of the Council. 4. Table the issue. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the Assignment of the Lease from Union Pacific and that the Mayor be authorized to execute the Assignment.

Walker, City Attorney Meeting: September 14, 2004 Subject: Approving Addendum Agreement to Share Initial Costs to Investigate Creation of South Dakota Public Power Authority Item #’s: G-25 Presenter(s): Douglas R. Walker, City Attorney Gary Mader, Utilities Director Background The city has been contacted by a group of South Dakota municipalities to ascertain whether the City of Grand Island would be interested in exploring the possibility of creating a new public power entity that would investigate the possibility of acquiring the assets of Northwestern Corporation in the event that the company is sold. Discussions have occurred with other municipalities and public power districts in South Dakota and Nebraska to explore the feasibility of establishing a new public power corporation and to investigate the feasibility of purchasing and operating the assets of Northwestern Public Services. Discussion The enclosed agreement would obligate the City of Grand Island to pay 11.1% of the cost of evaluating the feasibility of setting up a public power authority which would purchase the stock of Northwestern Public Services. To investigate whether or not setting up such a corporation is feasible and whether it is in the best interests of the various participants to attempt to be involved in setting up a company it is necessary to hire consultants and other professionals to help evaluate the assets of Northwestern Public Services and to evaluate the feasibility of establishing the company amongst a group of public power entities. Costs for the initial feasibility studies are estimated to be $300,000 and Grand Island’s share of the cost would therefore be approximately $33,300. If the Council chooses to authorize the city to enter into this agreement, it will enable Grand Island to participate in this project through the initial investigations to determine whether it would be economically and legally viable. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the Addendum to Agreement as prepared. 2. Disapprove or /Deny the Addendum to Agreement. 3. Modify the Addendum to Agreement to meet the wishes of the Council 4.

U.S. Hwy. 281 for Consideration of Damaged Billboard Tuesday, September 14, 2004 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Craig Lewis City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director Meeting: September 14, 2004 Subject: Request of Elvin & Carline Denman, 6125 U.S Hwy #281 for Consideration of Damaged Billboard. Item #’s: H-1 Presenter(s): Craig Lewis Background This is a request for City Council consideration to allow for the repair and replacement of a Billboard sign along the east side of south US Highway #281. The sign has been damaged by recent winds to the extent that the City Code would not allow for the repairs and requires that the sign be removed. The sign is a legal non conforming sign as it was constructed several years ago and was only recently brought into the City’s jurisdiction through annexation. The location of six other billboard signs within an 800 foot radius established by code would not allow for this structure to be rebuilt in conformance with City Code regulations . Discussion In November of 2003 the City Council adopted revisions to the City Code which stated that legal nonconforming signs damaged for any reason to the extent that repairs are equal to or exceed 50% of the cost of the replacement of the sign it may not be repaired or replaced unless it will comply with all of the requirements of the City Code. On August 5, 2004 the Building Department sent a letter to Lamar Outdoor Advertising informing them of the damage to the sign and requesting it be removed by September 10, 2004. The damage to the sign has severed four of the seven support post and over one half of the face is currently on the ground creating a cost to repair in excess of 50%. The owners of the property have requested the City Council consider allowing the damaged sign to be repaired and remain at the current location as removal would significantly reduce income and hinder the traveling public.
