The zoning classification for this property is M-2, Heavy Manufacturing Zone. That classification does not allow for a temporary building unless approved by the City Council in the form of a conditional use permit. The application requests approval for a one year period. Discussion This is a fairly large property and appears to have adequate room for the temporary placement of a modular office during renovations of the existing building. The application does not identify a location for the proposed temporary building and staff would recommend any approvals be subject to the location being approved by the City Fire and Building Departments to accommodate any setbacks, fire separations, and fire lanes. The request is for a one year period which appears appropriate but the approval should terminate at the end of the one year or within 30 days of the completion of the proposed renovation of the existing building. The application does not appear to have any negative impact on the site or the surrounding properties. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the request for the Conditional Use Permit. 2. Disapprove or /Deny the Request. 3. Modify the Conditional Use Permit to meet the wishes of the Council. 4. Table the issue. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the conditional use permit to allow for the placement of a temporary modular office facility, with the following stipulation; 1) The conditional use permit shall expire within a one year period or within 30 days of the completion of the renovation of the existing building on the site, which ever occurs first. 2)The exact location shall be approved by the City Fire and Building Departments prior to placement. Sample Motion Motion to approve the request for a conditional use permit with the stipulations as identified in the departmental memorandum. Item E2 Public Hearing on Request from Randy & Cynthia Evans for a Conditional Use Permit for a Temporary Car Dealership Office Located at 1407 West 2nd Street Tuesday, September 11, 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: September 11, 2007 Subject: Request of Randy & Cynthia Evens for Approval of a Conditional Use Permit to Place a Temporary Office at 1407 West 2nd Street Item #’s: E-2 & H-2 Presenter(s): Craig Lewis, Building Department Director Background This request is for the approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the placement of a temporary office building to facilitate operations of the existing car dealership during removal of existing buildings and the construction of a new building and facilities. The property is currently zoned B-2, General Business and that classification does not allow the placement of a temporary building without the approval of the City Council in the form of a conditional use permit. The request is for a 10 month period. Discussion The proposal is to renovate the entire half block to facilitate the existing car dealership currently in operation. The location of the proposed temporary building does not appear to create any negative impacts on the property or surrounding neighborhoods. The request is for a 10 month period and appears reasonable; approval should terminate at the end of a one year period or within 30 days of the completion of the construction of a new dealership facility, which ever occurs first. A one year period allows time past that which is requested in the application but in line with past approvals. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the request for the Conditional Use. 2. Disapprove or /Deny the Request. 3. Modify the Conditional Use Permit to meet the wishes of the Council. 4. Table the issue. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the conditional use permit to allow for the placement of a temporary office building with the following condition; the conditional use permit will expire within one year or within 30 days of the completion of a permanent facility, which ever occurs first. Sample Motion Motion to approve the request for a conditional use permit with the conditions as identified in the departmental memorandum. Item E3 Public Hearing on Request from Olsson & Associates for a Conditional Use Permit for a Temporary Soil Vapor Extraction Trailer Located at 373 North Vine Street Tuesday, September 11, 2007 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: Craig Lewis City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director Meeting: September 11, 2007 Subject: Request of Olsson and Associates for Approval of a Conditional Use Permit to Allow for the Placement of a Temporary Trailer to Accommodate a Soil Vapor Extraction Operation at 373 N. Vine Street Item #’s: E-3 & H-3 Presenter(s): Craig Lewis , Building Department Director Background This request is for approval of a conditional use permit to allow for the temporary placement of a vapor extraction trailer to facilitate the removal of free phase petroleum from groundwater at the site. The site is currently zoned (M-3) Mixed Use Manufacturing. Trailers and temporary buildings are only allowed within this zoning classification if approved by the City Council in the form of a conditional use permit. Discussion This proposal is similar to several in the recent past to allow for a trailer or a temporary building to be placed on the site to aid in the clean up of groundwater. The proposed length of time is for five years however City Code limits two years between approvals. The site location is such that it would not appear that this request will have any negative impact on neighboring properties. 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 request and authorize the issuance of a conditional use permit for a two year period. Sample Motion Motio n to approve the request for a conditional use permit to allow for a temporary vapor extraction facility for a two year period. Item E4 Public Hearing on General Property, Parking District #2 (Ramp) and Community Redevelopment Authority Tax Request Tuesday, September 11, 2007 Council Session City of Grand Island Staff Contact: David Springer City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Dave Springer, Finance Director Meeting: September 11, 2007 Subject: Public Hearing and Resolution Approving General Property, Parking District No. 2 (Ramp), and Community Redevelopment Authority Tax Request Item #’s: E-4 & I-1 Presenter(s): Dave Springer, Finance Director Background Nebraska State Statute 77-1601-02 requires that the City of Grand Island conduct a public hearing if the property tax request changes from one year to the next. Our general property tax request increased from $5,212,064 for FY2006-2007 to $5,280,591 for FY2007-2008, or an increase of $67,527. This represents a 1.3% increase in actual tax dollars, a 0.0% change in the City’s levy. The property tax request for Parking District No.2, also known as the Parking Ramp (Fund 271), decreased from $11,000 in FY2006-2007 to $9,000 for FY2007-2008, or a decrease of $2,000. Parking District No. 2’s levy decreased by 18.2%, while the districts valuation increased by 20.7%. This is the sixth consecutive year that the tax asking has been reduced for the Parking Ramp. The property tax request for the Community Redevelopment Authority increased from $492,540 requested in FY2006-2007 to $500,000 for FY2007-2008. This represents a 1.5% increase in tax dollars and a 0.2% increase in the CRA’s levy. Discussion The City Council needs to pass a resolution by majority vote setting the property tax request for the general property tax at $5,280,591, the Parking District No.2 property tax at $9,000, and the Community Redevelopment Authority property tax at $500,000. The property tax request was published in the Grand Island Independent on September 7, 2007. It is appropriate at this time to solicit public comment. The action is contained under Resolutions. This represents the final action to be taken on the FY2007-2008 Budget. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Approve the General Property, Parking District No. 2, and CRA tax requests. 2. Modify the Budget and tax requests. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the tax requests and levies as presented. Sample Motion Approve the FY2007-2008 General Property, Parking District No.2, and Community Redevelopment Authority tax requests and levies, as presented in the related Resolution.

To date there is $88,327.60 remaining in contingency funds. Acceptance of change order #14 will reduce the contingency funds by $6,080.20 leaving a new balance of $82,247.40. Discussion Change Order #14 includes three changes in the construction project. The changes have a cost of $6,080.20. Accepting the changes will leave the contingency funds balance at $82,247.40. The changes requested are: The Police Department has requested an expansion of the information technology server room to accommodate more equipment than what was previously planned for. The request requires expansion of the room, more electrical work and the purchase of a second server rack. The cost of the expansion is $11,750.20. The contractor, Chief Construction has requested ten additional work days due to lost productivity during inclement weather. The architect has reviewed this request and said that there is justification for granting the ten additional days. There is no cost to the contingency fund for the additional days added to the contract. The Police Department has requested that decorative colored concrete wing walls that were to be located in front of the facility be deleted from the project. The walls were decorative and served no function. The removal of the walls will not affect the appearance of the building. The deletion of the walls produces a savings of $5,670.00.

The contract, for an amount not to exceed $346,200, was approved by City Council on October 11, 2005 and notice to proceed was given on October 26, 2005.

Mader; Wesley Nespor City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Wesley Nespor, Asst. City Attorney/Purchasing Meeting: September 11, 2007 Subject: High Energy Piping Inspection – Platte Generating Station Item #’s: G-11 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background Platte Generating Station is scheduled to be shut down for repairs during the month of October 2007. The main steam, hot reheat, and cold reheat piping supply steam to the turbine from the boiler at pressures over 1800 pounds per square inch and 1000 degrees. Defects in the piping materials can develop after long exposures to these high pressures and temperatures. Failure of these piping systems can result in extreme damage to plant facilities and injury or death to personnel. Standard industry practice is to perform no n- destructive examinations of these piping systems periodically. The insulation on these various piping areas needs to be removed, the piping inspected, and the insulation replaced, while the power plant is out of service. These types of inspections have been performed on critical plant equipment at Platte, but have not been done yet on the piping. Specifications for High Energy Piping Inspection were developed by plant staff and issued for bid in accordance with City purchasing procedures. Discussion The specifications for the High Energy Piping Inspection were advertised and issued for bid in accordance with the City Purchasing Code. One response was received from the following bidder. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $150,000.00. Bidder Bid Price MHT Access Services, Inc. $120,908.00 The Bid was reviewed by Utility Engineering staff. It is compliant with specifications and less than the engineer’s estimate.

Mader;David Springer;Wesley Nespor City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director David Springer, Finance Director Meeting: September 11, 2007 Subject: Boiler and Machinery Insurance – Utilities Department Item #’s: G-12 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background The Utilities Department Boiler and Machinery Property Peril and Fire coverage insurance is up for renewal as of October 1, 2007. This insurance is specifically designed for Electric Utilities and is readily adaptable to the Water Utility, which is also included in the coverage. The Utilities Department’s insurance provider, FM Global, provided the attached proposal (attachment #2) for renewal of the present coverage. The proposal outlines minor changes to the current policy, dealing with clarification of definitions of terms, adding coverage for power lines within 1000’ of a substation, and increasing total covered valuation by 9% to $360,817,829. Additionally, in the proposal, there are extensive explanations of terrorism coverage, both certified and non-certified. The City Council firmly rejected the terrorism coverage several years ago, and it has not been included in subsequent renewals. Price quotes for terrorism coverages are provided in the proposal along with a Policy Holder Disclosure form (attachment #1) for execution by the City. FM Global requires execution of the form, either accepting or rejecting terrorism coverage. The current renewal does not include terrorism coverage. The complete policy is available in the Utilities and Finance offices for review. The renewal proposal and proposed policy have been reviewed by the Legal and Finance Departments. Discussion The premium for the renewal of the Boiler and Machinery, Property Peril, and Fire coverage is $375,813.00, which is a 2% increase from the current policy premium.

Mader; Wesley Nespor City of Grand Island City Council Council Agenda Memo From: Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Meeting: September 11, 2007 Subject: Water Main District 455 – Park-View Area Completion Time Extension Request Item #’s: G-13 Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director Background The Utilities Department has received a request for time extension on the contract for Water Main District 455 installation. The contractor, Starostka Group, requests an extension of the completion date to October 12, 2007. A copy of their request is attached. Water Main District 455 is located along Commerce Avenue, from Blaine Street east to Park Drive; and within Pioneer Blvd., from the end of the existing public water main, east approximately 750 ft. The project extends an 8” water line and service connections for the residences in the area. A map of the district is attached for reference. Discussion Although the installation phase of the work has been completed, construction on the project has taken longer than originally anticipated. This has been due to significantly above normal rains this year. The groundwater in the area has risen over six feet since the district was originally created. The rains delayed initial commencement of construction, prevented work on some days during the project, and also required some alternative construction methods from the planned techniques. Additionally, it was discovered near the end of water main installation, that the City owned valve to which the Commerce Avenue water main is connected needed to be repaired. That valve was installed over 30 years ago in anticipation of future construction in the area. All pipe lines, valves and fire hydrants have been installed, but the line cleaning, disinfection, pressure testing, final bacteria testing, and construction area restoration and clean up are yet to be completed.

GITV is classified as a PEG (Public Educational Governmental) station and airs on Channels 6 for those citizens who have Charter Cable and can also be seen on UHF Channel 56 for those without cable. GITV brings the latest news to the citizens of Grand Island and Hall County on governmental, educational, and community related segments. Info Channel 12 serves as an interactive bulletin board where community events, government and non-profit organization notices, and educational opportunities are listed. GITV continues to move forward with the vision of an all digital broadcast quality stud io that will provide top notch segments for its viewers. For the last fourteen years GITV has occupied the space directly north of the Hall County Emergency Management/911 Call Center in the basement of City Hall. A recent renovation plan has been developed to allow for the expansion of the Emergency Management Center and relocation of the GITV master control room and studio. This renovation will allow Emergency Management to use the current GITV space for new equipment funded through a recent grant. Therefore, relocating GITV into what is the current mailroom. Currently GITV does not have an in-house studio where news or educational segments can be taped. The space that was once used for these types of interviews is now occupied by the upgraded studio equipment that has been purchased and is used as work space for the audio/visual technician. While interviews are many times great to do on-location, these shoots take a tremendous amount of set-up and teardown time from GITV staff. In addition, many of the non-profit organizations and government divisions that GITV deals with are limited on office space and interviews are not feasible to do at their location. With the completion of this project, staff time will be saved and GITV will be able to hold interviews in a professional and dynamic setting on any desired subject ma tter. On- location interviews will continue to be done when appropriate to the story but more often the studio will be used. Discussion The specifications for the Studio/Master Control Design Project including technical representation and engineering were issued for bid and a response was received from one bidder: Bidder Bid Price AVI (Audiovisual, Inc.) Systems, Omaha, NE $68,361.00 Department Staff reviewed the bid for compliance with the City’s specifications. The bid of AVI Systems is compliant with those specifications. Minimal dollars and resources have been put into GITV Channels 6 and 56 and Info Channel 12 in the last fourteen years. The City of Grand Island has a “gem” right here in their backyard to use to showcase and educate all citizens in Hall County on governmental, educational, and community related topics. In order to provide citizens with highly professional and broadcast quality segments this proposed engineering and relocation project is very much needed. Costs associated with this project will entail the engineering process, rewiring and relocation of current studio to new space and equipment needed for optimal audio and video monitoring as well as ensure an efficient and effective master control and studio work space. As part of the engineering phase equipment racks will be relocated, as well as the determination of the number of additional racks needed to better utilize space and workflow. Also during the engineering process it will be determined if additional video and/or audio monitoring is needed to more efficiently monitor video and audio signals. The engineering phase will also provide studio lighting recommendations. Installation and rewiring is also a significant part of this project. Installation will include the disconnectio n of video and audio connecting in the existing master control area and relocation and installation of this equipment into new area. This will include the rewiring of components connected from the Council Chambers to the new studio space. Furthermore, necessary video, audio, and RF lines will be extended from existing master control to new location. A complete set of line drawings and CAD file will be provided upon completion of project to the City of Grand Island. A system check and training will also be provided by AVI to GITV staff. There are numerous benefits to this studio/master control design project. By having a GITV studio that will have sufficient space, lighting, and audio components, it will allow for greater flexibility of staff time and will give a consistent and dynamic look to GITV segments. One of the visions of GITV is to hold newscasts similar to the other local affiliates. This relocation project will give GITV the capability to do this in an actual LIVE setting. Eventually, GITV would also like to look into the possibility of an internship program with members of the Community Youth Council, Grand Island high school, Central Community College and/or Hastings College students. This relocation would give GITV the needed space and technological tools where a program like this could be implemented. With the current space and working conditions this type of program is not feasible. This move will give GITV a significant increase in space and will allow for a much needed redesign and reengineering of its current infrastructure and studio. The proposed contract will provide a highly qualified team of audio/video technicians to serve as GITV’s technical representatives in design, installation, training, and maintenance of the master control. AVI has always been responsive to the needs of GITV in a timely and professional manner and the same is expected from this project. AVI is a reputable company that GITV has worked closely with through two recent upgrades the last few years. 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 a later date. 4. Take no action. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the bid received from Audiovisual, Inc. for the Master Control and Studio Relocation Project of GITV will be accepted and expenditure of funds authorized by resolution.

The fee quoted in the contract was $42,700.00. Using information provided from an aquatics study by C. T. Brannan in 2004, an estimated construction cost of $500,000.00 was used to develop the fee associated with the design contract. On September 18, 2006 Olsson Associates provided the City with a 1st Amendment To Letter Agreement For Engineering Services. The request stated that it was the opinion of Olsson Associates that the actual cost of the wet play area at Island Oasis would cost between $1,100,000.00 and $1,300,00.00 to construct. Because of this increased construction estimate Olsson Associates determined an additional fee of $31,520.00 would be required. Olsson Associates continued to provide services and a dispute has now arisen as to the proper amount of payment due. Discussion After receiving this request the Park and Recreation Director along with the Recreation Superintendent met several times with Kevin Prior, of Olsson Associates to discuss the requested fee. The Park Department did not feel the additional fee request was proper and declined to sign the letter requesting the additional fees. The City did state that they expected a completed set of drawings from Olsson Associates before any final payment would be made. The Park Department contacted the City Attorney's office regarding this request. After meeting with Kevin Prior and reviewing his hourly costs associated with the project, the City Attorney's office offered a settlement payment in the amount of $20,000.00 under the aut hority to resolve disputes granted by City Code Section 27-41. It is the Parks and Recreation Departments understanding that Olsson Associates have agreed to accept this amount as final payment for the engineering services rendered upon approval of Council. Final payment would not be made until final construction drawings, approved by the Nebraska State Health Department were given to the City Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
