Item E1
Public Hearing on Walk to Walnut Safe Routes to School
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
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: February 24, 2009
Subject: Public Hearing on Walk to Walnut Safe Routes to School
Item #’s: E-1
Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background
A permanent easement is needed from the nearby park to allow for the driveway to
Walnut Middle School to be re-aligned with the 15th Street and Custer Avenue
intersection in connection with the Walk to Walnut Safe Routes to School project. The
easement crosses park land and therefore falls under 4(f) regulations. The easement also
displaces improvements that fall under 6(f) regulations.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Section 4(f) law (49 USC 303) states that
federal funds may not be approved for projects that use land from a significant publicly
owned park, recreation area, wildlife or waterfowl refuge, or any significant historic site
unless it is determined that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of land
from such properties and the action includes all possible planning to minimize harm to
the property resulting from such use.
Section 6(f) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (L&WCF) Act states that property
purchased or developed with funds under the act may not be converted to other than
outdoor public recreation uses. The Act also states that land required from such properties
must be replaced with property of at least equal fair market value and of reasonably
equivalent usefulness and location, or be compensated through other means in
consultation with DNR, the agency responsible for administering L&WCF funds and
other aspects of the Act.
Discussion
The playground equipment and improvements at the detention cells that were built both
south and north of Walnut Middle School were partially paid for with federal 6(f) funds.
The easement for the proposed driveway to Walnut Middle School displaces some of the
detention cell land. The displaced land will have to be replaced. Federal regulations
require a public process with public notice to convert the 4(f) and 6(f) park land to other
uses.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1. Conduct a public hearing
2. No action would result in stopping the project
Recommendation
Public Works Administration recommends that the Council conduct a Public Hearing to
gather public comments.
Sample Motion
Not applicable.
Item E2
Public Hearing on Request from Viaero Wireless for a Conditional
Use Permit for a Wireless Telecommunications Tower Located in
the 1900 Block on North Huston Avenue
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
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: February 24, 2009
Subject: Request of Chris Riha, Representing, Viaero Wireless for
Approval of a Condition Use Permit to Construct a
Telecommunication Tower at 1817 Waugh Street
Item #’s: E-2 & H-1
Presenter(s): Craig Lewis , Building Department Director
Background
This is a request to allow for the construction of a 100 foot monopole telecommunication
tower at 1817 Waugh Street to facilitate their cellular service area. The property is
currently zoned R-3, medium density residential, the Grand Island Zoning Code requires
that all telecommunication towers receive the approval of City Council in the form of a
conditional use permit prior to construction.
The intent of the tower and telecommunication facilities and antenna regulations are to
protect residential areas and land uses from the potential adverse impact of the
installation of towers and antennas through careful design, siting, and camouflaging, to
promote and encourage shared use/collocation of towers, and to ensure that towers and
antennas are compatible with the surrounding land uses.
Discussion
The City code specifies eight items to be submitted with the application for a tower
development permit, all of those items have been submitted, with the exception of;
1). the engineering of the tower and foundation design, and, 2). a building permit
application for the proposed tower. It appears reasonable to delay the submittal of these
two items until after the City Council has approved the location. At the time of a request
for a building permit then the engineering for the construction of the tower and
improvements will need to be submitted before a building permit would be issued.
Information attesting to a diligent effort to collocate with any towers within a one mile
radius has been submitted by the applicant. There were two towers identified within the
one mile radius of the proposed site, neither tower would facilitate the applicants
proposed needs.
There were two deficiencies noted in the application, one was the exact location of the
tower, to verify the required setbacks from adjacent property lines and the second is a
landscaping plan. A landscaping plan is required as the proposal is to purchase the
property and create an independent lot for the tower requiring landscaping to be installed
adjacent to the streets in compliance with the City zoning regulation. The applicant has
acknowledged the requirement and will include installation of street yard landscaping
along with the development of the site.
The proposed tower location will be within the airport turning zone but appears to be 33’
below the 150’ height restriction imposed by the approach zone, a memorandum was sent
to the Central Nebraska Regional Airport requesting their review and comment on
February 6, 2009, as of this writing no concerns has been received.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1. Approve the conditional use permit finding that the proposed use is a listed
conditional use in the zoning code and that it will not be detrimental to public
health, safety, and the general welfare of the community.
2. Disapprove or /Deny the conditional use permit, finding that the proposal does
not conform to the purpose of the zoning regulations.
3. Modify the conditional use to meet the wishes of the Council
4. Refer the matter to a special committee for a determination of a finding of
fact.
5. Table the issue.
Recommendation
City Staff recommends that the Council approve the request for a conditional use permit
to construct this telecommunication tower, finding that the request does promote the
health, safety, and general welfare of the community, protects property against blight and
depreciation, and is generally harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the request for a conditional use permit as specified in the staff
recommendation published in the Council packet and presented at the City Council
meeting and finding that the application will conform with the purpose of the zoning
regulations.
Item E3
Public Hearing Concerning Community Revitalization Grant,
Phase II and Contract Amendment
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Council Session
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Barbara Quandt
City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Barbara Quandt, Community Development
Meeting: February 24, 2009
Subject: Public Hearing #2 Concerning Community Revitalization
Grant, Phase II and Contract Amendment
Item #’s: E-3 & G-8
Presenter(s): Barbara Quandt, Community Development Administrator
Background
In 2007, the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) awarded a
$261,010 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to the City of Grand Island for
Phase II of the Community Revitalization program. Grant funds were allocated for
rehabilitation assistance for 7 homeowners and/or down payment assistance for 2 first
time homebuyers. This public hearing combines two requirements into one hearing. A
public hearing is required during the grant project period to solicit public comment and
input into the proposed project and for a contract amendment request to the Nebraska
Department of Economic Development. The contract amendment would allow the City to
reallocate forty-four thousand seven hundred forty nine dollars ($44,749.00) from Down
Payment Assistance for first-time home buyers with minor rehabilitation to Owner-
occupied Rehabilitation.
Discussion
Notice of the public hearing was given February 11, 2009 in the Grand Island
Independent and public comment is solicited at this time regarding 1) progress of the
Phase II Community Revitalization Grant and 2) a proposed contract amendment budget
request. A contract amendment is needed because of challenges in recruiting qualified
applicants for the Down Payment Assistance program. There have been far more requests
for homeowner rehabilitation than down payment assistance. There is a waiting list for
the rehabilitation program. The Department of Economic Development requires a public
hearing and Council approval for contract amendment requests.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1. Move to approve the Community Revitalization Phase II contract amendment
request 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 the Council approve the Community Revitalization
Phase II contract amendment request and authorize the Mayor to sign all related
documents.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Community Revitalization Phase II contract amendment request and
authorize the Mayor to sign all related documents.

City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Robert H. Smith, Asst. Utilities Director
Meeting: February 24, 2009
Subject: Acquisition of Utility Easement – 610 West Division Street
Hope Harbor
Item #’s: E-4 & G-9
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 Hope Harbor located
at 610 West Division Street, 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
Hope Harbor is totally remodeling their building. As part of the remodel, they will be replacing
their electrical service and increasing the size to handle their electrical load. This easement will
be used to place primary underground conduit, cable, and a pad-mounted transformer. Their
service will go from the transformer to the building.
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).

MINUTES OF CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
February 17, 2009
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a Study Session of the City Council of the City of Grand
Island, Nebraska was conducted in the Community Meeting Room of City Hall, 100 East First
Street, on February 17, 2009. Notice of the meeting was given in the Grand Island Independent
on February 11, 2009.

ALLEGIANCE.
Discussion Concerning Budget Amendment. David Springer, Finance Director reported this item
was brought back to a Study Session at the request of Council. A discussion with the State
Auditor’s office had determined that a long standing procedure used in the budgeted
appropriations calculation was not the preferred method and it would be appropriate to amend
the current year’s budget and revise the process for future state budget submittals. After speaking
with the Auditor’s office last week, Mr. Springer stated an amendment would probably not be
necessary.
Discussion was held concerning carry-over projects in the 2010 budget. A budget amendment
could be approved if needed later on in this fiscal year. Exceeding line item budgets were
mentioned.
Discussion Concerning Balanced Budget. Councilmember Haase requested that the City Council
amend the City Fiscal Policies to include a Balanced Operating Budget definition.
Councilmember Haase recommended the following definition to the Fiscal Policies: A Balanced
Operating Budget is defined when current year operating revenues equal or exceed the current
year operating expenses.
Mentioned was the financial trend monitoring system presented to the Council at their January
20, 2009 meeting. Mr. Haase wanted to see a balanced budget that does not include reserves.
Comments were made concerning fiscal responsibility, acceptable industry definitions for a
balanced budget, current-year operating expenses, debt, cash reserves, and expenditures
approved by council.
Page 2, City Council Study Session, February 17, 2009
City Administrator Jeff Pederson commented on one-time revenues or unsustainable revenues,
financial trend monitoring system which gives indicators to act on warnings signs and for council
to take appropriate action steps. This will be discussed further at the Council Retreat on
Saturday, February 21, 2009.
Finance Director David Springer clarified General Fund allocated revenues. The decrease was
due to Capital expenditures. To increase revenues, an increase in property taxes was mentioned.
Several comments were made about the good things happening in Grand Island and not to be tied
down to a specific definition.
Mayor Hornady commented on all the positive things that have happened to improve the quality
of life in Grand Island.

#2009-46 - Approving Setting Board of Equalization Date for
Water Main District 453T

Council Session
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Gary R. 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: February 24, 2009
Subject: Water Main District 453T – Board of Equalization Date
Item #’s: G-10
Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director
Background
City water infrastructure was extended to support the development of the new Grand
Island Army Aviation Support Facility. A 12” water main was installed across part of the
Central Nebraska Regional Airport, commencing at Sky Park Road, approximately one
half (1/2) mile north of Capital Avenue, and running northeasterly to the westerly side of
the GIAASF at the northeast corner of Shady Bend Road and Airport Road.
Attached for reference is a map showing the district’s boundary.
Discussion
The project has been completed in accordance with the terms, conditions, and stipulations
of the contract plans and specifications. The total for all water main construction was
$343,818.69.
According to the Interlocal Agreement for Infrastructure Construction by and between
the Hall County Airport Authority and the City of Grand Island, dated August 8, 2007,
the Airport Authority agreed to pay a portion of the project’s cost as a connection fee for
the water service to the GIAASF. That amount is $103,145.61.
The remaining $240,673.08 is the eligible amount used to calculate the connection fees
for other properties within the district. Those fees become due when a property “taps” the
main for service. This is the standard method used by the City to recoup costs when water
mains are installed across undeveloped lands.
The connection (tap) fee for the properties included within the district’s boundary is
$61.1542640 per front foot. Attached for reference are copies of the district’s costs,
ownership records, and calculated assessments.
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 Council sit as the Board of Equalization on March
24, 2009, to set the connection fee amount for the properties within the boundaries of
Water Main District 453T as tabulated on the attached listing.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the date for the Board of Equalization hearing for Water Main District
453T to be set as March 24, 2009.
