Item E7 Public Hearing on Annexation of Property Located South of Old Potash Highway and East of Engleman Road Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Chad Nabity City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Regional Planning Commission Meeting: January 24, 2006 Subject: Annexation Item #’s: E-7 & F-4 (First Reading) Presenter(s): Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director Background Annexation of land, located in the SE ¼ NW ¼ 12-11-10 into the Grand Island City Limits see the attached map. Discussion On December 7th, 2005 the Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing before considering this matter. No members of the public testified at the hearing held by the Regional Planning Commission. This property is adjacent to and contiguous with the Grand Island City along a portion of its northern property line. Water is available to the property included in this annexation request. Sewer is approximately ¼ mile to the east of this project and will be extended by the developer to serve this property. This property is within the Grand Island Utilities Electrical Service District. This property is not within the Grand Island School District. Annexing these properties will impact the two mile extraterritorial jurisdiction of Grand Island. Proposed changes to the zoning map will be forwarded to council prior to the third reading of this ordinance as readoption of the Official Grand Island Zoning Map. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the annexation as presented 2. Modify the annexation to meet the wishes of the Council 3. Table the issue Recommendation A motion was made by Hayes 2nd by Brown to approve and recommend that the City of Grand Island approve this annexation and as presented. A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed with 11 members present (Amick, Haskins, Reynolds, O’Neill, Brown, Niemann, Miller, Eriksen, Ruge, Monter, Hayes) voting in favor. Sample Motion Approve the annexation as Submitted Item E8 Public Hearing Concerning Comprehensive Revitalization Block Grant Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Joni Kuzma, Marsha Kashlon City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Marsha Kaslon, Community Development Administrator Council Meeting: January 24, 2006 Subject: Public Hearing for Comprehensive Revitalization Strategy Block Grant Item #’s: E-8 & G-21 Presenter(s): Marsha Kaslon, Community Development Administrator Background The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) has developed a program for investing CDBG funds into eight Nebraska municipalities from 20,000 to less than 50,000 populations. This Comprehe nsive Revitalization category was approved in the 2005 Department of Economic Development CDBG Action Plan and an application process established. The proposed program would provide funds to Grand Island over a multi-year period to meet locally identified housing and infrastructure needs that are CDBG eligible. The City may receive approximately $290,000 per year for 2006, 2007 and 2008 to use for redevelopment projects in a specifically defined low-to moderate income neighborhood within city boundaries. A Comprehensive Revitalization Strategy grant application may be submitted no later than January 31, 2006 to DED for these CDBG funds. A public hearing is required prior to submission of an application to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development to solicit public comment and input into the proposed project and grant application. A legal notice was published in the January 14, 2006 Grand Island Independent with notice of this council meeting and contact information for written comments. Discussion As an eligible community, the City submitted Comprehensive Revitalization Needs Assessment to the Department of Economic Development (DED) in April 2005 evaluating all DED identified areas of low and moderate- income concentrations and doing an inventory of all types and degree of housing and community development needs within each area. From this evaluation, one area was selected for Revitalization (map attached). This Comprehensive Revitalization grant application will include a one, two and three year action plan and Revitalization Strategy which includes housing, infrastructure, economic and community development activities to meet the needs of the low- to moderate-income neighborhood. The City of Grand Island is requesting a $296,113 block grant to carry out Phase 1 of a Comprehensive Revitalization Strategy for a select low-to-moderate income area of Grand Island. The request includes grant funds up to $275,385, plus $20,728 for General Administration (7%) and a percentage not to exceed 7% for Housing Administration. The City will provide up to $275,385 in matching funds for other eligible projects. ALTERNATIVES It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the Comprehensive Revitalization Strategy application and give approval for the Mayor to sign all related documents 2. Refer the issue to a Committee. 3. Postpone the issue to a later date. Recommendation City Administration recommends that public comment be solicited regarding the proposed application and that Council approves the Comprehensive Revitalization Strategy application and authorizes the Mayor to sign all related documents.

Lewis, Building Department Director Meeting: January 24, 2006 Subject: Ordinance to Amend Chapter 26 of the Grand Island City Code by Approving the Adoption of the 2003 Uniform Plumbing Code Item #’s: F-2 Presenter(s): Craig Lewis , Building Department Director Background The Grand Island Plumbing Board has recently completed a review of the 2003 Uniform Plumbing Code and is forwarding a recommendation to the City Council for adoption with the revisions as specified in the proposed ordinance. Adoption of the 2003 Uniform Plumbing Code will assist the Building and Plumbing Industry in providing minimum requirements and standards for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. Discussion The Plumbing Board and Staff have reviewed the proposed 2003 Uniform Plumbing Code and recommend adoption, with the revisions in the proposed ordinance to the City Code. Of the revisions suggested the following is notable 1). Revise language to specifically state and begin enforcement of owner occupied plumbing permits. This revision basically prohibits a home owner from plumbing a proposed new dwelling as no one including himself would be living in the structure at the time of construction. Of the proposed revisions the most significant is not allowing a proposed home owner to install the plumbing in a proposed new dwelling. The Plumbing Board and the Staff strongly recommend this revision as countless hours of staff time have been involved in the enforcement and inspection of dwellings in which the owner claims to have installed the plumbing and it has become very obvious he has not. A home owner living in his residence would still be able to complete an addition or remodel project to his home. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the request. 2. Disapprove or /Deny the request. 3. Modify the request to meet the wishes of the Council 4. Table the issue Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the ordinance as proposed.

Riehle, Public Works Director City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director Meeting: January 24, 2006 Subject: Approving Bid Award for One (1) 2006 Model 29,250 Pound Four-Wheel Drive Front End Loader (Solid Waste Division) Item #’s: G-14 Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director Background On December 10, 2005 the Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department advertised for bids for the purchase of a 2006 Model 29,250 Pound Four-Wheel Drive Front End Loader. Funds for the loader were in the approved 2005/2006 budget ($230,000 on page 269 of the 2005 / 2006 Annual Budget Report). Discussion Bids were received and opened on December 22, 2005. The Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department reviewed the bids that were received. The loader bid by Caterpillar meets all of the specifications and based on an anticipated 4-year ownership, is the machine with the lowest net cost of ownership. Exceptions to the bids are noted as follows. John Deere: The specifications called for no more then 6 fins per inch on the radiator to keep the radiator from plugging with trash and debris. The John Deere loader has 7 fins per inch. Nine (9) fins per inch is the John Deere standard for a regular duty loader. Since seven (7) is the standard for a John Deere solid waste loader, this fin spacing is acceptable. The specifications also called for a “factory installed scale or equivalent weight management system”. A factory-installed scale performs better and eliminates finger pointing when troubleshooting and performing maintenance. The John Deere loader has an aftermarket scale installed by the dealer. Case: The Case loader does not meet the specifications for the loader bucket pin height of 14 feet. The Case Loader pin height is only 13’. A summary of the bids is shown below.

With progress in technology and the need to move to phase two of the 911 system and mapping capability of cellular telephones, we need to purchase a new system that will allow us to immediately view the location/longitude/latitude of all incoming calls as well as to track a moving cellular telephone call. In the Fall of 2005, the county set aside $105,000.00 in the Inheritance Fund for the purchase of this system with the agreement that the city would share the purchase and installation of the new 911 telephone system. State bid identified 3 vendors to allow counties to make a more secure purchase. Discussion From the three vendors identified through state bid, we have selected Tel Control Inc. (TCI) out of Yukon, Oklahoma. With state bid number 911-11-04. The system has twenty one administrative phone lines, three analog ports, six 911 lines, four workstations with an extended configuration to allow expansion to six work stations, 40 port voice mail, a server UPS system. The system is configured for dial-up remote maintenance and can be connected to an auto attendant. The total cost is $140,000 of which the City will pay $70,000 and the County will pay $70,000. There is adequate funding in the Capital Outlay Account #2152006 85615-Machinery and Equipment to pay for this expenditure.

The grant funds were available to local governments that proposed to enter into a collaborative working relationship with state and local courts and a non-profit, non-governmental entity in the local community that provides local shelters and programs for domestic violence and sexual assault victims. The City of Grand Island served as the submitting entity on behalf of The Crisis Center. The $119,983 Planning grant was awarded in September 2003 with a grant period from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2005. A Memorandum of Understanding between the Crisis Center and the City of Grand Island was approved by Council in December 2003 to carry out the requirements as outlined in the grant. Through this planning grant the Safe Haven Director , under supervision of the Crisis Center, administered grant funds, established a community-based advisory committee, created policies and procedures for the operation of a visitation and safe exchange center, provided documentation to the City regarding grant progress, submitted required reports to the Office on Violence Against Women and completed a needs assessment for the community. In September 2005 a $152,698 Planning/Implementation was received from the Department of Justice for the Safe Haven project. In Marcy 2005, Council approved a new Memorandum of Understanding between the City, the Child Advocacy Center (as new sub-grantee) and the courts. With these funds, the Heartland Family Visitation Center found and are remodeling a location for the center (204 N. Locust), have hired Visitation staff and are refining policies and procedures to plan for an April 1, 2006 opening date. A 2006 Imple mentation grant is due January 26, 2006 for funding that will begin in September 2006, at the end of the 2005 Planning/Implementation grant. This grant will be used for operations of the Center. Discussion The Safe Havens Planning/Implementation Grant has enabled the Heartland Family Visitation Center to prepare for opening of a supervised visitation and exchange center. The 2006 grant application will be submitted to the Office on Violence against Women on or before January 26, 2006. A signed Memorandum of Understanding between the City, the Heartland Family Visitation Center (sub-grantee) and partners (Crisis Center and the courts) is required for the grant application. The Heartland Family Visitation Center plans to be incorporated as its own non-profit entity by the time the grant is awarded so no intermediary organization will be needed for this MOU. This Memorandum will not be binding if the grant is not received. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City, the Child Advocacy Center and the courts and authorize the Mayor to sign related documents 2. Refer the issue to a Committee. 3. Postpone the issue to a later date. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding and authorize the Mayor to sign related documents. Sample Motion Motion to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City, the Child Advocacy Center and the courts and authorize the Mayor to sign related documents. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING SAFE HAVENS: SUPERVISED VISITATION AND SAFE EXCHANGE GRANT REFERENCE GRANT APPLICATION NO.: 2006- This Memorandum of Understanding is approved and executed on this _____ day of ___________________ 2006 by THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND (THE CITY), THE HEARTLAND FAMILY VISITATION CENTER (HFVC), THE CRISIS CENTER, INC. (THE CENTER), CENTRAL NEBRASKA CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER (CAC), AND THE HALL COUNTY COURT SYSTEM (THE COURTS). 1. History of Relationship. The City of Grand Island began collaborating with the Executive Director of The Crisis Center, Inc. in 2001, which culminated in the award of Safe Havens: Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange planning grant 2003- CW-BX-0026. As a result of a March 2005 application, The City of Grand Island received a second grant of continuation funding for the planning phase of the project with the award of grant 2005-CW-AX-0013 At the inception of the project, representatives were recruited from several community agencies, who work to meet the needs of families experiencing difficulties in family dynamics, to serve on a n advisory/consulting committee. These difficulties may or may not include issues such as domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and stalking. Agencies who have participated in the planning phase of the project include The City of Grand Island, The Crisis Center, Inc., Central Nebraska Child Advocacy Center, The Grand Island Police Department, Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, a representative from the Nebraska State Legislature, Heartland Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Central Health Center, a private supervised visitation service provider, and representatives from the mental health and legal communities. The planning committee has met on a monthly basis for the past two years to discuss the provision of visitation services in the Grand Island area. One of the primary goals of partnering organizations has been the protection and safety of all members in families experiencing difficulties in family dynamics and in need of HFVC services. As a result, the City of Grand Island , the Heartland Family Visitation Center and their community partners strive to develop and expand the collaboration to include child abuse and neglect organizations, law enforcement, courts, hospitals, legal advocates, families, 2 and community groups. The Collaborative Partnership’s immediate goal is to develop an awareness and understanding among all collaborative partners of the unique circumstances surrounding supervised visitation in cases of domestic violence. The City of Grand Island, The Heartland Family Visitation Center, and the Community Consulting Committee have identified the local court system as a partner. A representative from the Hall County Attorney’s office will represent and act as the liaison for the Hall County Courts at the monthly Consulting Committee. The Heartland Family Visitation Center will accept referrals from domestic violence advocates employed by The Crisis Center, Inc., the local court system, the Hall County Attorney’s office, mental health professionals and the legal community for families in need of supervised visitation services. Self referrals will also be accepted. The Crisis Center, Inc. has provided training as needed for the project director and planning committee members in the following areas: recognizing signs of domestic violence; methods and strategies for working with victims of domestic violence; and the potential impact of domestic violence on children and battered persons. 2. Development of Application. Discussions regarding the collaborative effort that is proposed in the application and detailed in this Memorandum began in earnest in November, 2005. During their regular monthly meetings, the Consulting Committee members discussed elements of the application and the appropriate roles of each partner. The Director of the Heartland Family Visitation Center met with members of both the Financial Resources and Consulting Committees to develop a grant application, which was supplemented with recommendations from key judicial and Crisis Center staff. The Director of the Heartland Family Visitation Center also conducted an independent study of similar supervised visitation programs. Physical visits were made to visitation centers in Duluth, Minnesota; Yankton, South Dakota; Rapid City, South Dakota; Mitchell, South Dakota; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Independence, Missouri; Kansas City, Kansas; and Bend, Oregon were contacted via telephone and e-mail. The information gathered as a result of the independent study enhanced the quality of proposed programmatic elements. Committee representatives provided input during the initial development phase and feedback throughout the process. Recent meetings among the collaborative 3 partners including representatives from the City of Grand Island, the Heartland Family Visitation Center, The Crisis Center, Inc., Central Nebraska Child Advocacy Center and local court representatives have led to the agreement reflected in this Memorandum and the submission of the 2006 grant application. 3.

Briseno, Assistant to the City Administrator Meeting: January 24, 2006 Subject: Alternative Fuel Policy Item #’s: G-23 Presenter(s): Paul M. Briseno, Assistant to the City Administrator Background In September 2005 Mayor Vavricek requested an Alternative Fuel Report on behalf of the Council. The report presented at the January 17, 2006 Council Study Session give guidance and recommendation of procurement of alternative fuel and vehicles for the municipal fleet. Ethanol and Biodiesel fuel created from domestically grown crops provide an alternative fuel source that has proven to provide superior results. Alternative fuels contain characteristics that are more environmentally friendly than regular petroleum products. Alternative fuels and fuel flex vehicles offer the City of Grand Island a resource for obtaining optimal operating efficiency of the municipal fleet. Alternative fuels decrease the dependence of foreign fuels and increase agriculture prices that directly impacts Grand Island with added economic value. Discussion The City of Grand Island Administration recommends the following criteria for the municipal fleet. Recommendation 1 Mandate all post-1986 vehicles within the municipal owned fleet burn only E10. § Fleet Services will not have enough demand to keep unleaded on hand. A reserve of unleaded fuel only consumed by the Parks Department’s small engine fleet and two pre-1986 vehicles would cause the fuel to go bad over a period of time. § The two 10,000 gallon tanks of fuel will be converted as E10 tanks. o A smaller separate tank could be purchased for unleaded engines not meeting the mandate such as the small engine fleet of the Parks Department. Recommendation 2 Require departments to purchase Fuel Flex Vehicles/Alternative Fuel Vehicles when available from state bid. FFV/AFV must meet the requirements of the application set forth by the department. FFV/AFV must be at little or no additional cost when compared to regular gasoline engine vehicles. When the municipal fleet has obtained a fleet of 25% FFV/AFV the expectation of purchasing/converting an E85 tank and pump should be examined for Fleet Services. Recommendation 3 Mandate that all summer blends of on/off Road diesel fuel contain a biodiesel splash blend of 4% but not greater than 5%. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Make a motion to approve the Alternative Fuel Policy 2. Refer the issue to a Committee 3. Postpone the issue to future date 4. Take no action on the issue 5. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve a resolution supporting the Alternative Fuel Policy for the municipal fleet. Sample Motion Motion to approve the Alternative Fuel Policy Approved as to Form ¤ ___________ January 19, 2006 ¤ City Attorney R E S O L U T I O N 2006-32 WHEREAS, on March 8, 1993, by Resolution 93-020, the City Council of the City of Grand Island recommended that gasohol be the preferred fuel for use in the City-owned motor vehicles equipped to use unleaded fuels; and WHEREAS, a report presented to the City Council at its Study Session on January 17, 2006, outlined the environmental benefits, economic value, and optimal operating efficiencies that could occur by mandating the use of ethanol and soy biodiesel in the City vehicles; and WHEREAS, the report set out the following recommendations pertaining to alternative fuels: 1. Mandate that all post-1986 city owned vehicles use only 10% ethanol blend fuel. 2. Require departments to purchase flex fuel vehicles / alternative fuel vehicles when available through the state bid process, if such purchase can be accomplished at comparable prices to regular gasoline engine vehicles and that they meet the requirements of the application set forth by the department. 3. Mandate that all summer blends of on/off road diesel fuel contain a biodiesel splash blend of 4% but not greater than 5%. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the recommendations are hereby approved as identified above and as set out in the report presented to the Grand Island City Council at its January 17, 2006 Study Session pertaining to alternative fuel for city vehicles. - - - Adopted by the City Council of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, January 24, 2006. _______________________________________ Jay Vavricek, Mayor Attest: _______________________________________ RaNae Edwards, City Clerk Item G24 #2006-33 - Approving Bid Award - 2006 Truck with Telescopic Aerial Platform & Chassis Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Gary R. Mader;DaleShotkoski City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Dale Shotkoski, Asst. City Attorney/Purchasing Meeting: January 24, 2006 Subject: Bid Award – 2006 Truck with Telescopic Aerial Platform and Chassis Item #’s: G-24 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background The ’05 – ’06 Electric Department budget includes the replacement of a ten year old bucket truck with over 100,000 miles on it. Specifications were prepared for the purchase of a standard truck and telescoping bucket for the Electric Line Division. The specifications were advertised in accordance with the City Procurement Code and publicly opened by the City Clerk on January 17, 2006. Specifications were sent to seven potential bidders. Five bids were received from three firms. The bids received were: Bidder Truck Equipment Base Bid Trade-in Total Cost Truck Equipment, Inc. of Des Moines, IA (Primary Bid) Freightliner Dur-a-lift $113,202.00 $15,000.00 $98,202.00 Truck Equipment, Inc. of Des Moines, IA (Alternate Bid) International Dur-a-lift $116,178.00 $15,000.00 $101,178.00 Terex Utilities of Seattle, WA International Hi-Ranger TLP $140,523.00 $14,000.00 $126,523.00 Altec Industries of St. Joseph, MO (Primary Bid) Freightliner Altec TA45 $120,297.00 $10,000.00 $110,297.00 Altec Industries of St. Joseph, MO (Alternate Bid) International Altec TA45 $126,487.40 $10,000.00 $116,487.40 Discussion Truck Equipment, Inc. provided both the low bid and second low bid. The low bid has three exceptions to the specifications, two of which are minor. The major exception is that the engine size is smaller tha n required by the specifications. Two other bidders proposed the same truck, but with compliant engine size. Because of the engine size deficiency, the low “as read” bid from Truck Equipment was deemed non-compliant. The next low bid was the alternate by the same bidder. That bid included one exception which will not effect the operation of the truck; therefore, the alternate bid is compliant. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Move to approve the purchase of the 2006 truck with Aerial Platform from the low, compliant bidder 2. Refer the issue to a Committee 3. Postpone the issue to future date 4. Take no action on the issue Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council award the bid for the 2006 Truck with Aerial Platform to Truck Equipment, Inc., of Des Moines, IA in the amount of $116,178.00, less the trade-in of a 1995 International with Versalift VST bucket for $15,000 for a net contract award of $101,178.00.

Remarks Construction began in Fall 2005. Work is underway with a contract completion date of Fall 2006. M 310 – 468 Description 2006 Paving Petition Program Remarks These dollars are budgeted for districts to pave existing streets such as the gravel streets in Indian Acres (estimated at $325,000) or for developer requested districts such as the extension of Faidley Avenue west of Diers Avenue (estimated at $195,000). These two projects total $520,000. Originally $500,000 was budgeted for FY 2005/2006. M 310 – 500 Description Widen Capital Avenue; Moores Creek Drainway to Webb Road Remarks The project was originally scheduled for bids to be opened in Fall 2005; however, the project has slipped because of delays in obtaining federal approval of the project. A noise study is being required by the Federal Highway Administration before any acquisition of Right-of-Way can occur. The Council will consider an amendment to the agreement with Olsson Associates to perform the noise study and design work needed to put in a temporary traffic signal at the Diers/Capital Avenue intersection and add an eastbound right turn lane for traffic on Capital Avenue approaching US Highway 281. The traffic signal and right turn lane would be constructed in summer 2006. The scheduled letting date for the widening project has been pushed to Fall 2006 (F/Y 2006/2007) with the bulk of the work taking place in 2007. M 310 - 528 Description State Street and Diers Avenue Intersection Improvements Remarks Since the federal aid for the Capital Avenue Widening Project listed above is being delayed, it is being proposed to do city- funded improvements at this intersection in the summer of 2006. Right turn lanes would be built for Northbound traffic on Diers approaching State Street; Westbound traffic on State Street approaching Diers Avenue; Eastbound traffic on State Street approaching US HWY 281, and Southbound traffic on US HWY 281 approaching State Street. Additional Right-of-Way will be needed from Wendy’s and Taco Bell. Construction work could be completed in the fall of 2006 depending on Right-of-Way negotiations. M 310 – 529 Description Public Safety Center / Hall County Jail Entrance Driveway Remarks The Civil Engineering firm working for the Public Safety Center’s Architect is preparing plans for the water main, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and the shared driveway to the two facilities. The city will prepare specifications for the work, open bids, and supervise the construction. M 310 - 407 Description South Locust; US HWY 34 to I-80 Additional Landscaping Remarks The county will open bids for a federal aid project to plant trees along Locust Street. The city will use federal funds for the trees planted inside the city limits. M 310 - 530 Description Traffic Signal; US HWY 30 at the Public Safety Center / Hall County Jail Driveway Remarks A traffic signal is being proposed to facilitate safe traffic flow. M 310 - 531 Description Asphalt Paving; Dale Roush Subdivisions (Indian Acres) Remarks The gravel streets will be paved with asphalt under a Street Improvement District with the costs being assessed to the benefiting property owners. M310 - 532 Description Extending Faidley Avenue for 650’ West From Existing Pavement Remarks The developer of the property along the north side of the proposed paving requested an assessment district be created. Completion of this 650’ long section of 41’ wide concrete curb and gutter paving leaves approximately a 2000’ gap to North Road. M310 – 510 Description Miscellaneous Safety Improvements Remarks One project is to realign 17th Street approach to the intersection with Walnut street / State Street; square up the approach. Other safety enhancement projects that are being considered are realigning a few angled intersections along Broadwell. There may be other safety enhancements as a result of the Public Works 2005 Traffic Accident Report.
