Mader City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Robert H. Smith, Asst. Utilities Director Meeting: June 12, 2007 Subject: Acquisition of Utility Easement – Along the Right-of- Way Line of State Street from the Outfall Ditch to ¼ Mile West - Shafer Item #’s: E-1 & G-10 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 an easement relative to the property of Shafer Commercial Properties, LLC, located along the Right-of-Way line of State Street from the Outfall Ditch to ¼ mile west, 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 This easement will be used to place three phase underground electrical feeder cable along the south side of State Street. The feeder will provide electrical power and provide back- up to the two subdivisions of Summerfield Estates and Prairie Acres. The Subdivisions have not been filed for the area along State Street, but are expected to be in the future. The requested easement is the same area that will be dedicated on future plats, so it will not have a negative impact on the property. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Make a motion to approve 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 approve the resolution for the acquisition of the easement for one dollar ($1.00). Sample Motion Motion to approve acquisition of the Utility Easement.

Item F1 #9120 - Consideration of Creation for Sanitary Sewer District 525; Lots 8 & 9 of Westwood Park Subdivision Tuesday, June 12, 2007 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Steve Riehle, City Engineer/Public Works Director City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director Meeting: June 12, 2007 Subject: Consideration of Creation of Sanitary Sewer District 525; Lot 8 & Lot 9 of Westwood Park Subdivision Item #’s: F-1 Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director Background Sanitary sewer district 523 on Driftwood Avenue west of Sweetwood was created by a circulated petition. Richard Sok of 832 Sweetwood Drive signed the petition for this sanitary sewer district. However, his property was located outside the boundary of the district. Sanitary sewer district 523 was created by the council at the March 27, 2007 meeting. Mr. Sok’s property was not included in the district since his property was not listed on the circulated petition. The district completed the protest and was continued by the council at the May 23, 2007 meeting. Sanitary sewer district 524 created by council at the April 10, 2007 meeting included Mr. Sok’s property. The district failed the protest and was discontinued by the council at the May 24, 2007 council meeting. Mr. Sok has since turned in a petition for creation of sanitary sewer district 525 for Lots 8 and 9 of Westwood Park Subdivision on May 21, 2007. Discussion If the district is created, a notice will be mailed to all affected property owners and a 30-day protest period allowed. If the district completes the protest period and is continued by the council, district’s 523 and 525 will be combined into one project to help reduce the cost for both districts. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning this issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the recommendation to create Sanitary Sewer District 525. 2. Refer the issue to a Committee. 3. Postpone the issue to a future date. 4. Take no action on the issue. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the creatio n of Sanitary Sewer District 525. A ten (10) year assessment period is recommended.

The IAFF represents the positions of Firefighter, Firefighter/Paramedic, and Captain in the City’s fire department. In January 2007, the City and the IAFF went before the Commission of Industrial Relations (CIR) to have a determination made as to comparable wages and benefits for the members represented in the bargaining unit. The Order was filed by the Commission on May 15, 2007 in reference to Case No. 1130. The City has been ordered by the CIR to implement its order no later than thirty days after the Order was filed. An Order from the CIR carries the same weight as an order issued by a District Court. Failure to implement the order could result in the City being found in contempt. Discussion The proposed changes to the salary ordinance reflect the court’s order with regard to wages and certain monetary benefits. This Order is for the current contract year which runs October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007. Negotiations will begin shortly to reach a contract for the next year which will begin on October 1, 2007. The wage changes reflect an increase to the range of Firefighter of 2%, Firefighter/Paramedic of 1.4%, and Captain of 3.8%. Other changes include the change to the uniform allowance, sick leave buyout in January, bi-lingual pay, and longevity. 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 Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve Salary Ordinance # 9121.

Riehle, Public Works Director Background The inter-local agreement for the Locust Street Interchange was entered into between the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR), Hall County and the City of Grand Island on April 6, 1992. The agreement was for a new Interstate 80 / Locust Street interchange as well as for upgrading Locust Street to a four-lane roadway into Grand Island. The work required in the inter-local agreement was broken into multiple projects. 1. The city widened Locust Street from US Highway 34 south for ½ mile. 2. The NDOR built the new interchange. 3. The county widened the existing southbound bridges over the Platte River. 4. The county improved the existing southbound lanes with asphalt. 5.

The last project is to build the northbound lanes with concrete paving. Discussion The concrete paving project for the northbound lanes will be built using federal aid Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds administered by the Nebraska Department of Roads under project number URB-2235(5), control number 42519. The program agreement with the Nebraska Department of Roads will allocate the city’s federal funds to the project. The total project cost is estimated at $4.2 million. The city’s 20% share of the project is estimated at $840,000 with the 80% federal funds share of the project estimated at $3,360,000.

Riehle, Public Works Director Meeting: June 12, 2007 Subject: Approving Subdivision Agreement for Sterling Estates Subdivision Item #’s: G-7 Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director Background Sterling Estates Subdivision will be developed on 116.13 acres of land between State Street and Capital Avenue from North Road east to the Moores Creek Drainway. The preliminary plat for Sterling Estates Subdivision shows developing 239 lots on 116.13 acres of ground. The final plat for Sterling Estates plats 54 lots on 25.13 acres of ground. The sanitary sewer for the first phase of Sterling Estates Subdivision will connect to a public sanitary sewer main that flows through the Autumn Park Apartments and connects to a sanitary sewer interceptor line adjacent to the Moores Creek Drainway. The sanitary sewer for subsequent phases of the subdivision will connect directly to the sanitary sewer interceptor line adjacent to the Moores Creek Drainway along the east edge of the subdivision. The policy of the city of Grand Island is to charge an equitable fee to connect to an existing sanitary sewer main based on the original construction cost for the sanitary sewer main. The calculation for residential property uses the equivalent 8” sanitary sewer cost as being due from abutting property with oversize cost being an obligation of the Waste Water Division. The equivalent 8” sanitary sewer main cost per foot for the interceptor sanitary sewer main was $68.15. The preliminary plat for Sterling Estates Subdivision shows 1,559.23 feet abutting the interceptor calculating to a cost of $106,261.52. Discussion The first phase of the subdivision will not make a direct connection to the sanitary sewer interceptor main, but will connect through the Autumn Park Apartments. The Public Works and Legal Departments calculated a formula for the amount due for the first phase of Sterling Estates Subdivision as follows: 25.13acres – 1st Phase X $106,261.52 = $ 22,994.51 116.13 acres – Entire Subdivision The city council approves the standard format and language for a subdivision agreement when a subdivision is approved. Since a paragraph is being added to the subdivision agreement that is non-standard, council is being asked to approve the modification to the subdivision agreement. The $22,994.51 sanitary sewer connection fee was inserted into the proposed subdivision agreement for council consideration. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning this issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the subdivision agreement, thereby approving the method of calculating the sanitary sewer connection fee for the subdivision. 2. Refer the issue to a Committee. 3. Postpone the issue to a future date. 4. Take no action on the issue. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the subdivision agreement and method of calculating the sanitary sewer connection fee for the subdivision. Sample Motion Move to approve the subdivision agreement. Approved as to Form ¤ ___________ June 8, 2007 ¤ City Attorney R E S O L U T I O N 2007-134 WHEREAS, on October 10, 2006, by Resolution No. 2006-287, the Grand Island City Council approved the final plat and subdivision agreement of Sterling Estates Subdivision, comprising a part of the Northwest Quarter (NW1/4) of Section Twelve (12), Township Eleven (11) North, Range Ten (10) West of the 6th P.M., in the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska; and WHEREAS, it is necessary to modify the existing Sterling Estates Subdivision Agreement as it is the policy of the City of Grand Island to charge an equitable fee to connect to an existing sanitary sewer main based on the original construction cost for the sanitary sewer main; and WHEREAS, a modified form of the Sterling Estates Subdivision Agreement has been agreed to between the owner of the property and the City of Grand Island.

To date there is $138,335.72 remaining in contingency funds. Discussion Change Order #12 includes six changes in the construction project. The changes have a cost of $12,027.22. Accepting the changes will leave the contingency funds balance at $126,308.50. We are requesting changes in the lock hardware in five doors to provide different locking hardware for the second floor patio doors. This creates an additional cost of $1,006.50. We are requesting the use of concrete block instead of drywall for the wall in one corridor of the building for security purposes. This creates an additional cost of $2,420.00 We are requesting the suspended ceiling in the evidence storage area be deleted to allow for additional height of evidence storage units. This requires modification of fire suppression, lighting and drywall and painting of the ceiling. It deletes the cost of the suspended ceiling. This creates an additional cost of $5,286.60. We are requesting a modification to expand the information technology server room that eliminates a storage closet. This creates a savings of $431.55 There is a need for more structural steel in the headers of the overhead doors of the sallyport. (garage) This cost is for installing steel lintels over each of the four doors in the sallyport. This change creates an additional cost of $6,405.90 We have requested the smoking receptacles and benches be removed from the courtyard patio area and be replaced by tables with seating.

This law requires employers with 15 to 50 employees to allow those employees 15 days off and employers with 50 or more employees 30 days off to spend with either their child or spouse who is being called to military service lasting 179 or longer. Discussion Administration is recommending an addendum to the Personnel Rules that would include the following policy: Sec. 4.13 FAMILY MILITARY LEAVE LEAVE ENTITLEMENT: The City of Grand Island will grant a leave of absence to all eligible employees who are the spouse or parent of a person called to military service lasting 179 days or longer with the State or the United States pursuant to the orders of the Governor or the President of the United States.

EMPLOYEE ELIGIBILITY: An employee must have been employed by The City of Grand Island for at least 12 months and have been employed for at least 1,250 hours of service during the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the leave to be eligible for family military leave. NOTICE TO COMPANY/CERTIFICATION OF ELIGIBILITY: An employee must give at least 14 days’ notice of the intended date upon which the family military leave will commence if leave will consist of five or more consecutive work days. Where able, the employee shall consult with his/her supervis or to schedule the leave so as not to unduly disrupt the operations of The City of Grand Island. Employees taking family military leave for less than five consecutive days shall give his/her supervisor advanced notice as is practicable.

However, if the employee’s leave banks have been exhausted, the employee must arrange with the Finance Department prior to the start of their le ave, for the payment of the employee’s share of the premiums and other voluntary deductions. Once an employee has exhausted all leave banks, they will not accrue any other benefits. This includes vacation time, medical leave time, holidays and personal days.

Regular adjustments and maintenance are not included in the warranty with either system. According to Clean Air Concepts warranty our department personnel are responsible for maintenance of the system. Air Cleaning Tech, Inc. of Bonner Springs, KS submitted a bid of $47,550.00. Their system called Plymovent, has been used since 2004 in Fire Stations 2, 3 and 4 and we have had little trouble and any adjustments were made promptly by Air Cleaning Tech. Comparing the systems: Magnegrip : Bid specification A-2 and N state that the system shall provide pneumatic connection to the vehicle exhaust pipe. This system uses a magnet to hold the exhaust hose to the truck instead of the pneumatic collar. This does not comply with the bid specifications. The magnet can drag down the side of the truck and mar the surface or scratch the paint. The connection to hose from tailpipe is not the same as existing systems, which creates an incompatibility that would limit flexibility in truck assignments. In addition if the wrong truck is connected to this system it may not release properly and result in damage to the system, the truck or the building. L. Lower Hose Assembly: shall support the pneumatic connection nozzle and chrome reducing elbow in a rigid fashion to allow operator to place hose connection nozzle onto the tailpipe without bending over. (Without this rigid section the operator is exposed to vehicle exhaust and back injury) Magnegrip does not meet this specification. M. Safety Disconnect Coupling: to be made of two spun aluminum collars connected by reusable segmented coupling band. Magnegrip does not offer the safety disconnect. Bid document states no exceptions to this specification. Hazvent: No local references were available for Hazvent or Magnegrip; extensive checking of references was done by phone. Magnegrip was found to be satisfactory by most of the references, limited use of Hazvent made it difficult to compare the pneumatic application. Specifications not met (Exceptions) L. Lower Hose Assembly: shall support the pneumatic connection nozzle and chrome reducing elbow in a rigid fashion to allow operator to place hose connection nozzle onto the tailpipe without bending over. (Without this rigid section the operator is exposed to vehicle exhaust and back injury) M. Safety Disconnect Coupling: to be made of two spun aluminum collars connected by reusable segmented coupling band. Hazvent uses galvanized steel coupling ends connected with hose clamp. The two ends connected with a rubber collar. N. Collection Nozzle Assembly: The chrome reducing elbow is specified, Hazvent uses a cast aluminum elbow the weight of which makes it a safety issue when it is released by the tailpipe. On site evaluation: A tour of Station 14 in Lincoln, conducted on May 8, 2007 the findings were: No Safety disconnect was used on the system. (If nozzle sticks it will not release the vehicle without damage to the vehicle or system). The weight of the aluminum elbow had broken bricks by the door when the disconnect swung back in. The solution that Lincoln used was to wrap the elbow with padding. The system installation was not designed specifically for the Station creating over length ductwork and duplicate fittings with no future use anticipated. The sound from the exhaust fan on the outside was problematic (Tests conducted by Magnegrip found their fans were louder than Plymovent). Prior to our use of the Plymovent system at station 2 we had an exhaust system that created enough noise that the neighbors complained. We had to have the exterior discharge through a ductwork and redirect the air flow and reduce the noise. Findings on a Fume Extraction Survey March 19, 2007 in an E-newspaper: Plymovent was listed best overall, best service and best quality. Magnegrip/Hazvent was not listed. Three Plymovent systems have been in use by the GIFD since 2004. In Stations 2, 3 and 4. Installing Plymovent would insure compatible parts, service and operation. Racine Wisconsin Fire Department has had experience with both Magnegrip and Plymovent. In a letter to Plymovent they expressed their displeasure with Magnegrip and their satisfaction with Plymovent. The mechanic for the Racine Fire Department was contacted and he confirmed the evaluation of the systems expressed in the letter. While Plymovent is the highest bid, it meets the specifications provided in the bid document and the other two systems did not meet the specification. The items that do not meet the specifications create safety, noise and performance concerns that cannot be overlooked. While our employees are capable of performing routine maintenance and service, service and support should be available from the bidder. This would allow all four stations to have the same system and be compatible for parts, service and operation.

Postpone the issue to future date 4. Take no action on the issue Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the purchase of the Plymovent system from Clean Air Tech. Inc.

This approval was for an area located on the southeast corner of the fire station site. Locating the Law Enforcement Memorial on the same site as the Fire and Rescue Memorial creating a joint memorial was approved in a council action in October 2006. Discussion Further development of the project design and site plan creates a new vision of the layout of the site providing a very pleasing design for both memorials. An aerial view of the new fire station site with the proposed amended memorial area indicated in the southeast corner is provided in the packet. A drawing showing the new layout of the memorial site is also included in the information provided. The request before you is for approval of additional space on the same site as described before for the Fire and Rescue and Law Enforcement memorial site. The change in design to include the Law Enforcement Memorial requires the addition of 50 feet to the 300-foot side and 150 feet to the 200-foot side. This creates a site 350 feet by 350 feet. This approval will add space and allow these groups to begin work on construction of the first phase of the project. This project will be developed and constructed as funds become available. The Law Enforcement Memorial has sufficient funds to begin construction of their memorial. Funding for the Fire Fighter and Rescue Memorial is being sought now. The remaining construction will be in phases including the Firefighter and Rescue Memorial, the parking area and the park area.

In May, Department Directors submitted their budgets in detail for review by City Administration. As we continue to deal with the ever upward spiral of operating expenses and payment for capital projects, it becomes even more imperative that we make the best possible use of our resources. At this point, the budget process has entailed: * Departments reviewed their current year expenditures and submitted their 2007-2008 budget requests. * Outside Agencies were contacted to submit their requests for next year. * Requests were reviewed with each department by The Mayor and Finance Director. * Budgets for next year were adjusted to promote efficiencies and capital projects were pared down to only those committed for or ones with a high priority. *With new facilities and growth in operations to meet the City’s needs, some additional FTE’s are necessary. Requested are a net of 7.27 FTE’s and $213,586 in the General Fund and a net request of 11.77 FTE’s and $450,611 city-wide. The Finance Department is in the process of compiling all information to complete the budget. Discussion The June 12th meeting commences the first steps in approving the City’s 2007-08 budget. This evening, our intent is to review and approve the following schedules and requests: · User fee schedule. · Personnel FTE (Full Time Equivalent) request schedule. · Outside Agency requests. The Council is asked to review each of these and ask any questions that will clarify the information. Outside Agencies have been notified of this meeting but no presentation has been requested, as their submittals are fairly detailed. City Administration recommendations for funding are included for guidance. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the recommendation for requested FTEs, Outside Agency funding, and Fee Schedule changes. 2. Modify the request to meet the policy direction of the Council. 3. Postpone the issue to a future date. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the City Council review all information and discuss related issues to allow for changes, if so determined, to reach their approval and incorporation into the final budget. Sample Motion 1. Approve the FTE requests for incorporation into the 2007-2008 budget. 2. Approve the Outside Agency funding for incorporation into the 2007-2008 budget. 3. Approve the User Fee Schedule for incorporation into the 2007-2008 budget.
