Riehle, Public Works Director City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director Meeting: January 23, 2007 Subject: Board of Equalization Hearing to Determine Benefits and Consideration of an Ordinance Levying Assessments for Sidewalk District No. 1 2006 Item #’s: D-1 & F-1 Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director Background The Certificate of Final Completion for Sidewalk District No. 1 2006 was approved on December 19, 2006 with January 23, 2007 set as the date for Council to sit as the Board of Equalization. All work has been completed and special assessments have been calculated for the District. Discussion The contract for Sidewalk District No. 1 2006 was awarded to Galvan Construction, Inc., of Grand Island, NE on September 12, 2006. Work on the project was completed at a construction price of $924.00. Total cost of the project, including fill dirt and Engineering Services, was $1,216.40. The original contract amount was based on installing sidewalk along seven (7) properties. The property owners of six (6) of the properties installed the sidewalks themselves; thus the project was completed at a lesser amount than what the contract was for. The majority of the costs for this project will be assessed to the adjacent property. The fill dirt is a City expense, in accordance with past practice. Costs for the project break down as follows: Original Bid $ 6,212.25 Less Amount for Six Properties ($ 5,288.25) Sub Total (Construction Price) $ 924.00 20 Cubic Yds of Fill Dirt $ 200.00 Engineering $ 92.40 Total Cost $ 1,216.40 Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Move to approve a resolution to determine benefits and pass an ordinance levying the assessments. 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 sit as the Board of Equalization to determine benefits and pass an ordinance to levy Special Assessments to individual properties. Sample Motion (Sample Motion for the Board of Equalization) Move to approve the resolution determining benefits for Sidewalk District No. 1 2006. (Sample Motion for the Ordinance) Move to approve the ordinance levying the assessments for Sidewalk District No. 1 2006.

Riehle, Public Works Director City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director Meeting: January 23, 2007 Subject: Board of Equalization Hearing to Determine Benefits and Consideration of an Ordinance Levying Assessments for Street Improvement District 1258; Extending Faidley Avenue West of Diers Avenue an Additional Six Hundred Fifty Feet (650 Feet) Item #’s: D-2 & F-2 Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director Background The Certificate of Final Completion for Street Improvement District 1258 was approved on November 28, 2006 with December 19, 2006 set as the date for Council to sit as the Board of Equalization. Ordinance No.9097 was approved by council on December 19, 2006. However, the subdivision was re-platted during the time that assessments were being calculated. As a result, the legal descriptions of the parcels for levying assessments were incorrect at the December 19, 2006 city council meeting. The special assessments have been re-calculated to reflect the new plat. Discussion The contract for Street Improvement District 1258 was awarded to The Diamond Engineering Co., of Grand Island, NE on April 11, 2006. Work on the project was completed at a construction price of $179,224.90. Total cost of the project including contract administration is $197,147.92. Costs for the project break down as follows: Original Bid $ 157,886.40 Overruns $ 19,853.50 Change Order No. 1 $ 1,485.00 Sub Total (Construction Price) $ 179,224.90 Additional Costs: Contract Administration, Engineering, and Publication Costs $ 17,922.49 Total Cost $ 197,147.39 The estimated cost at the time of creation was $147,865.00. The bulk of the overruns were for the construction of the intersection for Irongate Avenue to serve LaRue Subdivision at the request of the developer and two (2) additional concrete letdown structures that were not shown on the plans and had to be removed. The Irongate intersection is a city cost in accordance with past practices for assessing Street Improvement Districts. The ordinance denotes an Agricultural Deferment for agricultural property owned by the T & E Cattle Company. A resolution regarding the agricultural deferment is also being considered at the January 23, 2007 council meeting. If the ordinance is approved, the resolution must be approved. If council wishes to deny the Agricultural Deferment, the ordinance must be modified to remove the Agricultural Deferment Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Move to approve a resolution to determine benefits and pass an ordinance levying the assessments. If the ordinance is approved with the notation of an Agricultural Deferment for land owned by the T & E Cattle Company, the resolution for the Agricultural Deferment must also be approved. 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 sit as the Board of Equalization to determine benefits and pass an ordinance to levy Special Assessments to individual properties. Sample Motion (Sample Motion for the Board of Equalization) Move to approve the resolution determining benefits for Street Improvement District 1258.

Declared Legislative Intent It is hereby declared to be the intent and purpose of the city council in adopting and administering the provisions of this chapter: (A) To express the community sentiment that the control of availability of alcoholic liquor to the public in general and to minors in particular promotes the public health, safety, and welfare; (B) To encourage temperance in the consumption of alcoholic liquor by sound and careful control and regulation of the sale and distribution thereof; and (C) To ensure that the number of retail outlets and the manner in which they are operated is such that they can be adequately policed by local law enforcement agencies so that the abuse of alcohol and the occurrence of alcohol-related crimes and offenses is kept to a minimum. Discussion Hoch, Inc. dba H & H Distributing, 4221 Juergen Road has submitted an application for a Class “X” Liquor License. A Class “X” Liquor License allows for the whole sale of liquor to be sold and distributed statewide. This will be an additional license as they currently have a Class “W” Liquor License which allows for the wholesale of beer only. City Council action is required and forwarded to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission for issuance of all licenses. This application has been reviewed by the Clerk, Building, Fire, Health, and Police Departments. Attached is the Police Department’s background investigation and recommendation. Also included with this application is a request from Harry H. Hoch, Jr., 2417 Cottonwood Road for a Liquor Manager Designation. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the application. 2. Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with no recommendation. 3. Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with recommendations. 4. Deny the application. Recommendation Based on the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission’s criteria for the approval of Liquor Licenses, City Administration recommends that the Council approve the application. Sample Motion Move to approve the application of Hoch, Inc. dba H & H Distribut ing, 4221 Juergen Road for a Class “X” Liquor License and Liquor Manager Designation for Harry A. Hoch, Jr., 2417 Cottonwood Road with the stipulation that Mr. Hoch complete a state approved alcohol server/seller training program. Item E2 Public Hearing on Request from Energy Grains Development Group LLC for a Conditional Use Permit for Construction of an Ethanol Production Facility Located at 1730 and 1898 Wildwood Drive Tuesday, January 23, 2007 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Craig Lewis City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Craig Lewis, Building Department Director Meeting: January 23, 2007 Subject: Request of Energy Grains Development Group, LLC on Proposed Site for a Conditional Use Permit to Operate an Ethanol Plant at 1730 Wildwood Drive, Grand Island, NE Item #’s: E-2 & H-2 Presenter(s): Craig Lewis , Building Department Director Background This request is for approval of a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of an ethanol plant at the site that is currently zoned AG-2, Secondary Agricultural. That zoning classification allows for the operation of an ethanol plant only if approved by the City Council in the form of a conditional use permit. The property has recently experienced a rezoning classification to M-2 or Heavy Manufacturing that zoning classification also requires a conditional use approved by the Council, but the ordinance is not yet in affect at the time of this hearing. Discussion The Conditional use process allows for a review by the governing body to determine if the proposal is in the best interest of the city, meets requirements previously established and allows conditions to be established in the operation and use of the facility. This proposal presents several unknowns in the proposed operation; 1). The amount and source of water proposed to be utilized in the manufacturing process, has not been identified. City municipal water source or private wells are two possibilities which could be implemented to facilitate all or part of the water demands. It is my understanding that this proposed process is a fairly large consumptive user and could have a high demand for water. If that high water demand is to be met by on-site wells, neighboring lakes, sandpits, and the Stuhr Museum water feature could be impacted. 2). Ethanol production appears to create odor in its process, as the proposal does not appear to give any assurances that the odor produced will not adversely affect the neighboring properties nor the City at large, conditions to mitigate any potential problems appear reasonable. Best available control technology (BACT) appears to be one avenue to pursue continued modification to the system to control any adverse odors produced. It would appear to be in the best interest of the City to require as a condition of approval that the facility be kept current with BACT within a two year time frame and that within each two years, documentation be provided that BACT has been implemented to address advances in the industry. 3). Air Quality appears to be an area of concern for the proposed process. The following comment is taken from a report by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality on Air Quality and Ethanol Production dated February 2006. Sources in Nebraska have been typically installing scrubber systems on the fermentation units, a thermal oxidizer on the dryer systems, cyclones for the DDGS cooling systems, a flare for the loadout, and low NOx burners on the boilers to reduce there emissions to below major source levels. However, recent testing indicates the fermentation scrubbers may not be adequately reducing the VOC and HAP emissions to required levels. The industry and NDEQ are currently researching more viable options to reduce emissions from the fermentation process. (DDGS – Dried Distillers Grain Solids, NOx – Nitrogen Oxides, VOC – Volatile Organic Compounds, HAP – Hazardous Air Pollutant). The implementation of BACT regarding the air quality of the production may again be in the best interest of the City on a two year rotational review. 4). Sewer and process discharges are currently an unknown, whether the total waste is treated by an onsite system or discharged to a City Sanitary sewer system is unknown at this point in time. Determination as to the possible effects cannot be addressed. 5). Landscape buffering has been presented in this plan only along the north boundary, it would appear prudent to include a provision that an approved landscape plan for the entire tract be presented and approved as part of the conditional use. Landscaping adjacent to any street is required as a zoning provision and must be maintained in the manor presented for the life of the facility. 6). The location of this proposal appears to meet the basic requirements of the zoning regulations, however the conditional use process gives the Council the ability to evaluate the location for the proposed use. As the City currently has operations which may produce objectionable odor in three of the directions from the City it would appear reasonable to evaluate this potential odor from the southern direction, as a southern breeze in the summer months when the population is outside enjoying the central Nebraska Good life may be less than desirable. 7). The proposal is for construction in the near future and as this process requires a public hearing to allow for the use, it appears appropriate to establish a time frame for construction to begin. A condition that if construction does not begin within the next two years and or if construction or the operation ceases for any continuous two year period the conditional use permit will become null and void and require subsequent approvals by the City Council appears reasonable. 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 Approve the request with the identified conditions, finding that the proposed use and application promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community, protects property against blight and depreciation, and is generally harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood. OR: Table the request to a time certain to allow the Applicant and staff to address and identify the areas currently unknown and develop conditions for the operation of the facility. Sample Motion Motio n to approve the request for a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of an ethanol production facility with the listed conditions as stated in the staff memorandum.

The purpose of the rezoning is to prepare this property for development as a retirement community to be owned and operated by the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The proposed development would provide between 212 and 256 dwelling units for retirement age persons ranging from independent living to skilled care. Discussion This proposal is largely consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan and is accessible to existing municipal infrastructure. City water and sewer services can be extended to serve the rezoning area. For this project to work a 12” water line needs to be extended from North Road. The developers are working with neighboring property owners to the east on the creation of an assessment district for that waterline extension. The proposed uses provide an excellent transition zone between uses. This proposal, with a campus atmosphere, allows an inward focus on this property that separates the manufacturing uses on the north and the residential/recreational uses on the south. The developer is proposing to build 26’ wide curb and gutter access drives throughout the interior of the subdivision. Enterprise Avenue and Trust Street are existing City asphalt streets. Good Samaritan Place, a new city street on the east side of the property will be built to the current standard (37’ concrete, curb and gutter) for city maintained and owned streets in residential neighborhoods. During the public hearing at the Planning Commission Meeting: Kim Johansen, Executive Director for the Good Samaritan facilities located in Wood River, Hastings and the proposed facility in Grand Island, gave an overview of the Good Samaritan Society sharing their mission statement and various facts regarding the corporation. There are 24 Good Samaritan facilities in Nebraska including one facility in Hastings and one facility in Wood River. Good Samaritan is excited about coming into Grand Island and offering a comprehensive retirement facility at this location. Harold Rosenkotter spoke before the commission. He stated that there appears to be a need for age restricted housing in Grand Island and that the need would likely continue to grow as the Baby Boomers approach retirement age. He also stated that these types of developments are a strong benefit to the community. Pat O’Neill, Chairma n of the Planning Commission asked Ms. Johansen about the number of people at the Hastings Facility. She stated that there are typically between 700 and 800 residents at that facility. He also asked about the width of the streets and how many vehicles are parked on those streets in front of the twin houses (duplexes) at that facility. Ms. Johansen said the streets at the Hastings facility are less than 20 feet wide and that people do not park on those streets. Mr. O’Neill commented that that is consistent with what he has seen when visiting that facility. Several other planning commission members also agreed with this assessment. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the rezoning as presented 2. Modify the rezoning to meet the wishes of the Council 3. Table the issue Recommendation A motion was made by Amick 2nd by Miller to recommend approval of the project as presented. A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed with 11 members present (Amick, Haskins, O’Neill, Brown, Niemann, Miller, Eriksen, Ruge, Monter, Reynolds, Snodgrass) voting in favor. Sample Motion Approve the rezoning as presented. Agenda Item # 4 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: December 22, 2006 SUBJECT: Zoning Change (C-08-2006GI) PROPOSAL: To rezone approximately 31 acres of land north and east of the Indianhead Golf Course M1 light Manufacturing, M2 Heavy Manufacturing and R1 Suburban Density Residential to RD Residential Development Zone. The purpose of this rezoning is to prepare this property for development as a retirement community to be owned and operated by the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The proposed development would provide between 212 and 256 dwelling units for retirement age persons ranging from independent living to skilled care. OVERVIEW: Site Analysis Current zoning designation: M1 – Light Manufacturing, M2 – Heavy Manufacturing and R1- Suburban Density Residential Permitted and conditional uses: M2 –Heavy Manufacturing - A wide variety of warehousing, storage, manufacturing and industrial uses and no residential uses. Minimum lot size of 6000 square feet with 65% coverage M1 – Light Manufacturing – A variety of warehousing, storage, light manufacturing and office uses and no residential uses. Minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet with 50% coverage R1 – Suburban Density Residential, (4 units per acre), churches, schools, parks; Comprehensive Plan Designation: Designated for future development as a combination of medium density residential to office uses, public/recreation and manufacturing, with the being medium density residential to office uses. Existing land uses. Vacant property, agricultural crops Proposed Zoning Designation M2 –Heavy Manufacturing - A wide variety of warehousing, storage, manufacturing and industrial uses and no residential uses. Minimum lot size of 6000 square feet with 65% coverage. Adjacent Properties Analysis Current zoning designations: North: M2–Heavy Manufacturing South, and West: R1- Suburban Density Residential East: – Light Manufacturing Permitted and conditional uses: M2 –Heavy Manufacturing - A wide variety of warehousing, storage, manufacturing and industrial uses and no residential uses. Minimum lot size of 6000 square feet with 65% coverage. M1 – Light Manufacturing – A variety of warehousing, storage, light manufacturing and office uses and no residential uses. Minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet with 50% coverage. R1 – Suburban Density Residential, (4 units per acre), churches, schools, parks; Comprehensive Plan Designation: North: Designated for manufacturing East: Designated for medium density residential to office uses, South: Designated for low to medium density residential West: Designated for Public/Recreational uses. Existing land uses: North: Manufacturing, asphalt plant, construction yard South: Single family residential, Golf Course East: Vacant industrial ground West: Indianhead Golf Course EVALUATION: Positive Implications: · Largely Consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The subject property is designated mostly for medium density residential to office uses. (typically R3 or RO). · Accessible to Existing Municipal Infrastructure: City water and sewer services can be extended to serve the rezoning area. For this project to work a 12” water line needs to be extended from North Road. · Would provide additional elderly housing: This would provide for more elderly housing. The proposed plans include everything from independent living to skilled care. · Would provide a buffer between the single family home and golf course to the south and west and the manufacturing to the north: The proposed uses provide a wonderful transition zone between uses. This proposal, with a campus atmosphere allows an inward focus on this property that separates the uses on the north and south. · Monetary Benefit to Applicant and Adjacent property owners: Would allow the applicant to develop the property as shown. · Negative Implications: · None foreseen: Other Considerations The majority of this property is already intended for medium density residential to office uses as shown below on the Future Land Use Map for the City of Grand Island. Future Land Use Map of the Area as approved in the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan The original zoning for this area as light manufacturing occurred more than 20 years ago. At that time, sewer and water were not available to the properties and were not extended. Since then, the golf course and residential development to the south have grown and changed the nature of the area. The comprehensive plan designation of this property for medium density residential to office uses recognized the changes in the area and would support a change to the RD zone for this development. The table below shows a breakout of the proposed number of units by type. Housing Type Minimum Units Maximum Units Twin Home/Duplex 42 42 Assisted Living 36 48 Assisted Living/Skilled Care 72 72 Senior Apartments 38 58 Future Housing 24 38 Total 212 256 The five lots on the east side of the proposed Good Samaritan Place do not indicate what type of housing would be expected there and are not included in these totals. A revised development plan will be required to determine the usage of those lots. Sewer and Water This proposed development will include public sewer and water to all lots. Lots with multiple buildings including Lots 2 and 3 of Block 1 will have a single sewer tap for each lot and multiple buildings connecting to that line. A 12’ water line must be extended to this property from North Road to provide adequate water pressure for fire suppression. The developers are working with neighboring property owners to the east on the creation of an assessment district for that waterline extension. Streets The developer is proposing to build 26’ wide curb and gutter access drives throughout the interior of the subdivision. Enterprise Avenue and Trust Street are existing City asphalt streets. No improvements, to these streets are anticipated or required by city code or policy. Good Samaritan Place, a new city street on the east side of the property will be built to the current standard (37’ concrete, curb and gutter) for city maintained and owned streets in residential neighborhoods. Good Samaritan Place connects Enterprise Avenue and Trust Streets. The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society operates in 230 communities across the country including local retirement facilities in Wood River and Hastings. There appears to be a very good market for age restricted housing in Grand Island and this market is likely to continue to grow as the Baby Boomers approach retirement age. Grand Island has excellent support services for an older population along with shopping recreation, and entertainment options. These types of developments are a strong benefit to the community. RECOMMENDATION: That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council change the zoning on this site from M1-Light Manufacturing, M2 Heavy Manufacturing and R1- Suburban Density Residential to RD Residential Development as requested and shown on the attached map. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director Proposed Duplex Style “Twin House” Unit Proposed Assisted Living Building Proposed Community Center Proposed Skill Care Housing Proposed Skilled Care Housing Building Two Example of Proposed Signage Item E4 Public Hearing Concerning Acquisition of Utility Easement - Northeast of 914 Bauman Drive - Hall Co.

Briseno, Assistant to the City Administrator Meeting: January 23, 2007 Subject: Revision to Chapter 23 of the City Code Item #’s: F-6 Presenter: Paul M. Briseno, Assistant to the City Administrator Background According to the minutes of November 20, 1957 Council Meeting, the City of Grand Island Finance Committee recommended the council impose an occupation tax for telephone services to increase funding for the operation of the city. In 1958 the City of Grand Island adopted Ordinance number 3365 enacting the current 3% occupational tax on telephone landlines, appropriately named the Telegraph Companies Occupational Tax. Historically the revenue collected from this tax is allocated throughout the General Fund. According to the 1960 census Grand Island had a population of 25,742 with nearly all residents having a landline telephone. Today Grand Island’s population is well over 45,000. In this day of technology, mobile phones are rapidly taking the place of traditional landline phones. In 2002 the percentage of calls received in the 911 center from mobile phones was 14%. Since 2002 the percentage has drastically increased to over 50%. With the proliferation of cell phones it appears that this trend will continue in the future. Please see the attached graph detailing the percentage of landline vs. mobile phone calls received in the Grand Island/Hall County 911 call center. Collected telephone occupational tax dollars has decreased throughout the years confirming the number of landlines is decreasing. According to the Nebraska Public Service Commission (NPSC) and the Hall County/Grand Island Emergency Management Department, there are 16,000 mobile lines and 25,692 landlines in Hall County. During the December 20, 2006 ice storm 57% of the calls received in 911 were from mobile phones. In 1990 the Hall County Board passed a resolution which levied a monthly $0.50 surcharge on all land lines in the county. Then they passed a resolution increasing the surcharge from $0.50 to $1 in 2002 to offset the declining revenues. This surcharge is utilized as a subsidy to offset expenses of the 911 call center. State Statues 86-436, 420- 441 allow for this surcharge by local governing bodies to fund the creation and operation of 911 emergency telephone communication systems throughout the state. As landline numbers decrease the collected dollars have been undependable. Currently the fund is fighting to stay in the black. When this surcharge was originally created, only landlines utilized the 911 service and telecommunication specialists received one or two calls per emergency incident. Today it is not uncommon to receive multiple phone calls per incident with the convenience of mobile phones. Although the more calls received creates greater knowledge and better response to an incident, it also creates duplication and a greater workload for 911 and first responders. Nebraska revised State Statue 86-457 originally created in 2001, that allows for the collection of a $0.50 surcharge on wireless access lines by the Nebraska Public Service Commission. This surcharge appears on a billing statement as “Enhanced Wireless 911 Surcharge” or a reasonable abbreviation. Once collected from a wireless provider these monies are transferred to the state. The Nebraska Public Service Commission allocates the collected surcharge to private wireless carriers and public safety answering points (911 centers) for costs related to enhanced wireless 911 services. It has been determined that this revenue is far short of the amount needed to bring the entire state up to acceptable technological levels. There is no guarantee that money will be available for our needs, when it would be available, or how we will stack up against the needs of private mobile companies and other 911 centers. Discussion The 911 call center and Emergency Management Department are in need of extensive software and equipment upgrades to meet the current and changing demands of technology. The current equipment does not identify mobile phone location, which is a much needed service for Grand Island and Hall County rural areas. Additionally, Deputy Emergency Manager Larry Smith reported to the Civil Defense – Communication Center Joint City/County Committee that the department is requesting staff to keep up with demand. Please see the attached report concerning this issue. Faced with the aforementioned expanding needs, City Administration has researched several revenue alternatives. Considerations were given to increasing taxes, grant funds, cutting programs and putting off the expenditures for the needed upgrades. After considerable research and debate it appeared that seeking grant funds and instituting the occupation tax would be the best approach to securing the revenue. The amendment of the telephone occupational tax ordinance to include mobile phones will generate revenue to offset the increased work created by mobile phones. It will also allow the Emergency Management Department to purchase equipment that will eliminate deficiencies and increase safety of Hall County citizens. In addition, the amendment will level the playing field between landline phone companies and wireless companies. The ordinance simply adds mobile telecommunications services as subject to the occupational tax. In order to allow time for the implementation of this ordinance by wireless companies, the ordinance is drawn up to take effect March 1, 2007. The occupation fee would be charged to all wireless phones with billing addresses in the city limits. Multiple communities throughout Nebraska have enacted a similar tax. These include Bellevue, Columbus, Lincoln, Omaha, South Sioux City, Norfolk, Seward and Elkhorn. Please refer to the attached chart concerning communities who have already enacted an occupation fee. Administration is recommending the same percentage for mobile phones as enacted in 1958 for landline phones, 3%. Revenues from the occupational fee are expected to be approximately $400,000. These funds will be placed in the general fund to offset costs concerning the 911 operation and other emergency related city costs. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Move to approve the revision of the City Code amending Chapter 23. 2. Disapprove or deny the ordinance which would revise the City Code concerning Chapter 23 in which event the current provisions of the code will remain in effect. 3. Modify the recommendations of city staff changing chapter 23 of the City Code. 4. Take no action on the issue.

Notice of the meeting was given in the Grand Island Independent on January 10, 2007. Mayor Margaret Hornady called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The following members were present: Councilmember’s Pielstick, Walker, Cornelius, Gericke, Brown, Gilbert, Whitesides, Haase, and Meyer. Councilmember Nickerson was absent. The following City Officials were present: City Administrator Gary Greer, City Clerk RaNae Edwards, Finance Director David Springer, and City Attorney Dale Shotkoski. INVOCATION was given by Associate Pastor Alan Davis, Independent Bethel Baptist Church, 1223 East 6th Street followed by the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. MAYOR COMMUNICATION: Mayor Hornady commented that the City Counc il had received an invitation from EDC to fly to Atchinson, Kansas to look at an ethanol plant similar to the one being proposed here in Grand Island. Discussion Concerning Amendments to Chapter 34 of the Grand Island City Code Relative to Telecommunications Occupation Tax. Paul Briseno, Assistant to the City Administrator reported that at the request of council from the December 19, 2006 City Council meeting this topic was brought back to a Study Session to discuss the amendments to Chapter 34 of the Grand Island City Code Relative to Telecommunications Occupation Tax. Mr. Briseno reviewed the history of the occupation tax for telephone services which started back in 1958 with a population of approximately 25,742. Today the population was well over 45,000. In 2002 the percentage of calls received in the 911 center from mobile phones were 14%. Since 2002 the percentage had drastically increased to over 50%. Telephone occupational tax dollars had decreased throughout the years due to the number of landlines decreasing. The 911 Call Center and Emergency Management Department were in need of extensive software and equipment upgrades to meet the current and changing demands of technology. Reviewed were the 911/Emergency Management capital needs such as: warning sirens, radio channels and control stations, backup 911 Center, dispatchers, computers, 911 mapping, 911 radio consoles, expansion and renovation, vehicle, generator, and radio combiner totaling $1,415,744. The amendment of the telephone occupational tax ordinance to include mobile phones would generate revenue to offset the increased work created by mobile phones. It would also allow the Emergency Management Department to purchase equipment that would eliminate deficiencies and increase safety of Hall County citizens. The proposed ordinance would add mobile telecommunications services as subject to the occupational tax. Expected revenues from the occupational fee would be approximately $450,000. Page 2, City Council Study Session, January 16, 2007 Discussion was held regarding the timeline if the surcharge was implemented. Larry Smith, Interim Emergency Management Director stated they were currently working with the mapping at a cost of $29,000. Currently department’s such as rural fire, sheriff, and police were on one radio channel. Communication between departments would be enhanced with the mobile surcharge. City Administrator Gary Greer commented that in 2003-2004 it was discovered that the phone companies had not been collecting the correct amount and since then the problem had been corrected. Reviewed was the Emergency Management budget. Currently the city was looking at a deficit of $339,202 for 2007. Questioned was whether the phone companies could increase their fees. Mr. Greer stated this did not allow them to increase their fees and council could stipulate that in the ordinance. It was the intent of City Administration to increase the FTE’s in the Emergency Management Department by two in next year’s budget. Track phones were discussed in which they were also charged the surcharge fee. The recommended occupation tax to the City would equal 3% of the gross receipts from the legally established basic monthly charges collected for local exchange telephone service to subscribers within the City. Discussion was held concerning where the additional surcharge fees would go. The current surcharge fees were going to the City’s General Fund and the purposed additional fee would be included in the General Fund. Concerns were brought forward by the council wanting the money to go directly to the 911 Center and improvements needed. Scott Arnold, Chairman of the Hall County Board, 412 North Custer mentioned the County did not have the opportunity to levy a surcharge fee. The interlocal allowed for a 50/50 split between the county and the city which would affect the counties ability to pay because they would not be able to levy an extra fee. City Administrator Gary Greer stated the Interlocal Committee would need to determine the budget and if there needed to be a change in the 50/50 split. It was recomme nded that this ordinance be brought back before council at the next regular meeting of January 23, 2007. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m. RaNae Edwards City Clerk Item G3 Approving Re-Appointment of Kurt Haecker to the City/County Efficiency Effectiveness Committee The Mayor has submitted the re-appointment of Kurt Haecker to the City/County Efficiency Effectiveness Committee.

Mader, Utilities Director Dale Shotkoski, City Attorney Meeting: January 23, 2007 Subject: Front End Loader – Platte Generating Station Item #’s: G-9 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background The coal-fueled steam generator at the Platte Generating Station produces two types of ash during its combustion process, fly ash and bottom ash. Fly ash is removed from the gas stream and is stored in an on-site silo. The fly ash is loaded into trucks and sold to a marketing contractor for end uses such as concrete production and land stabilization. Bottom ash, a smaller component of the total ash produced, is heavier that the fly ash and drops to the bottom of the steam generator and is transferred to an on-site disposal area. This product is not marketable. Loading the bottom ash into trucks, maintenance of the loading area and maintenance of the state licensed on-site storage areas requires routine use of a front-end loader. In the past, this loader has either been borrowed from other City Departments or rented, depending on availability. A loader is normally required for a total time of two to three months during the year. Based on a rental rate of $2,000 per week, this equates into an annual rental cost of $16,000 to $24,000, a substantial annual expense. For cost savings and more efficient maintenance of the plant areas, staff investigated the acquisition of a loader. In lieu of purchasing a new loader, the plant staff developed specifications for a used loader that would satisfy ash loading and other plant materials handling duties, with a maximum price of $50,000. The intent of the specifications was to obtain a selection of used loaders available on the current market for under this price. Discussion The specifications for the Used Front-End Loader were publicly advertised and issued for bid in accordance with the City Purchasing Code. The engineer’s estimate for this equipment was $50,000.00. One response was received; Bidder Bid Price Nebraska Machinery Co. $48,000.00 of Doniphan, NE The loader offered by Nebraska Machinery a 1989 Caterpillar Model 936 that had been received as a trade-in from the Dawson County Department of Roads. The plant staff inspected the unit and it was found to be acceptable contingent upon the dealer performing a number of maintenance repairs such as; replacing the operator’s seat, a lift cylinder seal, bucket hinge pins and bushings, and repairing a bucket cylinder and hydraulic return line. The dealer will also change the engine, transmission, and differential oils and include two oil changes in the first year. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Move to approve 2. Refer the issue to a Committee 3. Postpone the issue to future date 4. Take no action on the issue presented in this motion Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council award the purchase to Nebraska Machinery Co. from Doniphan, NE, as the low responsive bidder, with the bid price of $48,000.00.

Mader, Utilities Director Dale Shotkoski, Asst. City Attorney/Purchasing Meeting: January 23, 2007 Subject: Bid Award - Forklift Item #’s: G-10 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background The Utilities Department, Water Division, has the need to replace a 1979 Clark gas operated forklift. Sufficient funds were budgeted in the 2006-2007 budget. The forklift is frequently used inside the Water Department building to move large valves, fire hydrants and ductile iron pipe. The current gas operated lift presents a safety problem. The propane unit bid can be operated indoors safely. The City Garage Department has requested the old unit to load and unload equipment and parts outside only; therefore, there will not be a trade-in.

Mader;DaleShotkoski City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Meeting: January 23, 2007 Subject: Continuation of Water Main District 455 – Park-View Subdivision area – Ordinance #9086 Item #’s: G-11 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background Water Main District 455 was created at the request of area residents within the Park-View Subdivision, to provide municipal water service to address the area ground water that has been identified as being polluted by industrial solvents. The district will serve 42 lots along Commerce Avenue, from Blaine Street east to Park Drive; and in Pioneer Blvd., from the end of the public water main, east for approximately 750’. The district’s boundary is a modification from an earlier, larger district, which was protested out. Discussion The proposed project would install 8” diameter water mains and service lines within District 455. The work would be done as an assessment district, which is the Department’s standard method for installing water lines when a petition is received. The eligible construction costs will be charged to the property owners within the district’s boundary. Assessments will be collected over a five year period, at 7% simple interest on the unpaid balance. All owners of record title within the district’s boundary were notified of this information and had 30 days to submit objection to the project. The protest period for District 455 ended at 5:00 p.m., January 4, 2007. Protests received represented 49.68% of the front footage of the district. Since less than 50% of the land owners protested the creation of the district, the district may be continued by Council, per Nebraska Statute, 16.667.01, RRS 1943. Attached for reference is a plat indicating the district’s boundaries and the protests received. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Move to approve continuation of Water Main District 455 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 continue Water Main District 455.

Briseno, Assistant to the City Administrator Meeting: January 23, 2007 Subject: Household Hazardous Waste Facility Construction Grant from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality Item #’s: G-16 Presenter(s): Paul M. Briseno, Assistant to the City Administrator Betty Curtis, Executive Director GIACCS Joni Kuzma, Development Specialist Background In February 2004, the Grand Island City Council identified development of a permanent, regional Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility as a community goal. The planning team consists of city staff, city council representation, Clean Community System staff and board members, and Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska. Goodwill had received a previous grant for construction of an aluminum recycling center. DEQ encouraged a collaborative effort so the recycling center will be a part of the HHW facility. In January 2005, the planning committee created a business plan and completed a grant application for architectural services to move the facility forward. The Department of Environmental Quality supported the project by awarding a $75,000 grant for architectural/engineering services to design the facility. The Household Hazardous Waste planning team met with the architect multiple times during the past six months to finalize the building and site plan. In September 2006, a construction grant application was submitted to the Nebraska Environmental Trust for 65% of construction costs ($652,000). No award information has been received to date, but follow-up information has been provided to the Environmental Trust to further clarify the grant application. Discussion The next step in the process is submission of a construction grant application to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality for the remaining 35% of funds needed for construction. The proposed 9,700 square foot facility is a pre-engineered metal building which includes 5,520 square foot high bay processing area with a 200 square foot vented deflagration room (blast room) and a 3,480 square foot storage mezzanine, a 3,450 square foot Administration/Education area and a 600 square foot aluminum Recycling area. Construction costs were originally estimated at $850,000. The addition of a fire suppression system and well in January 2007 increased the total cost to about $1,200,000. The proposed grant application requests the balance of construction funds, plus funds for installation of a fire suppression system, drilling of a well to support the suppression and drilling of a domestic water well. A City match of $80,000 was included in the September 2006 Environmental Trust grant and was allocated in the 2007-2008 budget. Construction will not begin until late summer or early fall. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Move to approve the grant application and authorize the Mayor to sign all related documents 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 Council approve a grant application for construction funds from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and authorize the Mayor to sign all related documents.

A request has been received to consider annexation of property located east of the Platte Valley Industrial Park in the E 1/2 of Section 5, Township 10 North, Range 9 West of the 6th PM and in the SW 1/2 of Section 4, Township 10 North, Range 9 West of the 6th PM located between Wildwood Drive and Schimmer Drive on both sides of Blaine Street. The Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation has secured options on or owns the property in the E 1/2 of 5-10-9; Tom and Carlotta Hartman own the SW 1/4 of 4-10-9; together they are requesting this annexation in anticipation of industrial development. This property is contiguous with the Grand Island Municipal limits on its western border. City Administration is also suggest that the Platte Generating Station located south of Wildwood Drive between Blaine Street and South Locust Street also be annexed at this time. Annexation of these properties will allow the extension of the zoning jurisdiction of the city as shown on the attached map. Discussion Nebraska Revised Statute §16-117 provides for the process of annexation. In following the schedule set out when this matter was referred to the Regional Planning Commission for recommendation. The second action in this process for Council is to pass a resolution stating their intent to annex, approve an annexation plan and set public hearing for comment on the annexation request before council.

Sample Motion Approve the resolution of intent to annex, the attached annexation plan, and set public hearings on annexation requests for February 13, 2007. ANNEXATION PLAN –December 2006 December 19, 2006 OVERVIEW Section 16-117 of The Nebraska State Statute allows municipalities of the first class to annex any contiguous or adjacent lands, lots, tracts, streets, or highways that are urban or suburban in character and in such direction as may be deemed proper. Regulations governing municipal annexation were implemented in order to develop an equitable system for adding to and increasing city boundaries as urban growth occurs. Areas of the community that are urban or suburban in nature and/or anticipated future development, and are contiguous to existing boundaries, are appropriate for consideration of annexation. Annexation of urban areas adjacent to existing city boundaries can be driven by many factors. The following are reasons annexation should be considered: 1. Governing urban areas with the statutorily created urban form of government, municipalities have historically been charged with meeting the needs of the expanded community. 2. Provide municipal services. Municipalities are created to provide the governmental services essential for sound urban development and for the protection of health, safety and well being of residents in areas that are used primarily for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes. 3. Ensure orderly growth pursuant to land use, building, street, sidewalk, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and electrical services. 4. Provide more equitable taxation to existing property owners for the urban services and facilities that non-city residents in proposed annexation areas use on a regular basis such as parks, streets, public infrastructure, emergency services, retail businesses and associated support. 5. Ensure ability to impose and consistently enforce planning processes and policies. 6. Address housing standards and code compliance to positively impact quality of life for residents. 7. Enable residents of urban areas adjacent to city to participate in municipal issues, including elections that either do or will have an impact on their properties. 8. Anticipate and allocate resources for infrastructure improvements. Specifically, changes in October, 1999 to Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality Regulation Title 124 concerning on site waste water treatment systems impacts new and replacement private septic systems. 9. Assist in population growth to enable community to reach Community Development Block Grant entitlement status – 50,000. Entitlement communities automatically receive Community Development block grant dollars; no competitive process required. 10. Increase number of street or lane miles while increasing gas tax dollars received from the Nebraska Department of Roads. 11. Provide long term visioning abilities as it relates to growth and provision of services. Other Factors Annexation of adjacent properties can also be considered upon the request of the owner(s) of the property or agents acting on their behalf. The Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation, along with Tom and Carlotta Hartman, has requested the anne xation of this property in anticipation of future development. A comprehensive inventory of services and facilities, relative to the types and level of services currently being provided as well as the types of level of services anticipated as a result of annexation, has been developed. The inventory includes general information concerning: · Existing infrastructure in affected area(s) · Summary of expenditures to extend existing infrastructure · Summary of operating expenditures associated with increased services · Emergency services The service plan incorporates detailed elements of the inventory.
