careful control and regulation of the sale and distribution thereof; and

license and also the application for Liquor Manager designation.

The Council may:

Subject: Acquisition of Utility Easement – Between North and
Engleman Roads, and between White Cloud and One R -
Roads Robert and Shirley Bruhn
Item #’s: E-4 & G-2
Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director
Background
The Electric Department has electric distribution substations connected at various
distances along a 115 kV transmission loop. The loop generally runs along the outer edge
of the urban area, providing power to the substations and providing power supply
redundancy by use of the looped configuration. A map of the transmission system is
attached for reference. Substations reduce voltage from the 115,000 volt level to 13,800
volts for distribution to individual customers across the City. Substations “E,” located
north of Swift on the east side of the loop, and “F,” located north of Menards on the west
side of the loop, are the newest substations. They were placed in initial service in 2001,
and completed in 2007.
Recognizing that the City is continuing to grow, that future transmission line construction
will occur and that reliability improvement is always important, Substations “E” and “F”
were constructed with provisions to accept additional 115 kV transmission regional
interconnections. In the long range plan of the Electric Department, these substations
were designed for new transmission interconnections to meet future growth. The Utilities
Department is currently in the process of acquiring easements to provide for the
construction of an additional 115 kV transmission interconnection to the north of the
City.
Discussion
Easement negotiations are completed for a tract of property owned by Robert and Shirley
Bruhn., located between White Cloud and One R Roads and between North and
Engleman Roads, in Hall County. A map of the proposed easement is attached. The
negotiated price of the easement is $1,920.00.
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 Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty and 00/100 Dollars
($1,920.00).
Sample Motion
Move to approve acquisition of the Utility Easement.

Council Agenda Memo
From: Robert H. Smith, Asst. Utilities Director
Meeting: July 13, 2010
Subject: Acquisition of Utility Easement – West of Stuhr Road
and South of Fonner Park – Hall County Livestock
Improvement Association
Item #’s: E-7 & G-5
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 the Hall County Livestock Improvement Association, located west of Stuhr Road, and
South of Fonner Park, in the City Of Grand Island, Hall County, in order to have access
to install, upgrade, maintain, and repair power appurtenances, including electric lines and
a new well ho use.
Discussion
The current City well on Fonner Park property has a 12’ wide easement which contains
the water line, an overhead electrical service, and the well itself. The Nebraska State Fair
is constructing an RV Park immediately adjacent to the well. To provide increased
security to the well, the Utilities Department is proposing to add a well house and place
the overhead service underground. The easement needs to be increased from the existing
12’ wide to the standard 20’ wide so the department is not constructing infrastructure
outside of the public easement.
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
Move to approve acquisition of the Utility Easement.

Meeting: July 13, 2010
Subject: Acquisition of Utility Easement – 438 Industrial Lane –
L & P Investments
Item #’s: E-8 & G-6
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 L & P Investments, LLC, located along the front of 438 Industrial Lane, north of Old
U.S. Highway 30, 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
L & P Investments is constructing a new building on Lot Three (3), Commercial
Industrial Park Third Subdivision. To provide electricity to that building, it is necessary
to locate a high voltage junction box in the new easement. The curve of Industrial Lane
and other utilities prevents the location of the junction box in the existing public right-of-
way. All other electrical conduit and cable will be located in the existing utility easement
on the south side of the access road.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1. Make a motion to approve

Item E9
Public Hearing on Acquisition of Two Utility Easements - 3303 and
3311 Firestone Street - Indianhead Golf Club
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Council Session

City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Robert H. Smith, Asst. Utilities Director
Meeting: July 13, 2010
Subject: Acquisition of Utility Easements 3303 (Lot 5) & 3311
(Lot 4) Firestone Street - Indianhead Golf Club
Item #’s: E-9, G-7, & G-8
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 two easements relative to the property
of Indianhead Golf Club, Inc.
A new housing development is planned for the area adjacent to Indianhead Golf Course,
north of Husker Highway, and east of Engleman Road. The development is known as
Fairway Crossings at Indianhead Golf Club First Subdivision. A new pad-mounted three
phase transformer has been placed to provide power to the Golf Club. To ensure the
transformer is part of a loop and can be fed from two directions, two easements were
required across two lots of the new development. Those easements, ten feet in width
across Lots Four (4) and Five (5) of Block One (1), Fairways Crossings at Indianhead
Golf Course First Subdivision, were previously approved by City Council at the May 25,
2010 Council Meeting.
Discussion
Prior to filing the easements with the County, Utility staff was notified by the property
owner that the easement on Lot Five (5) would impact the buildable area and would like
to decrease the width of the easement on Lot Five (5) to 7.5’ and increase the width on
Lot Four (4) to 12.5’, thus continuing the 20’ wide easeme nt, but shifted slightly.
Because the change is different then the original approved by City Council, the new
easements are being brought back for approval. Since the original easements were not yet
filed with the County, there will not be a need to vacate those easements.
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 resolutions for the
acquisition of the two easements for one dollar ($1.00) each (for a total of $2.00).
Sample Motion
Move to approve acquisition of the Utility Easements.

Neppl)
Item #’s: E-10 & G-11
Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background

Discussion
The ingress/egress easement will be fifteen (15) feet wide on the westerly 15' of 3016 E
Bismark Road. The ingress/egress easement allows access to the property owned by the
Wastewater Division for maintenance and mowing of the property.

Page 4, City Council Regular Meeting, June 22, 2010
agreement has been drawn up to allow for State Fair Parking on City owned land south of Island

#2010-166 – Approving Designating No Parking on Portions of Stolley Park Road, Stuhr Road
and Fonner Park Road. Steve Riehle, Public Works Director reported that The Engineering
Division of the Public Works Department reviewed traffic flows and safety in the area and
recommend the designation of No Parking in the noted locations. The No Parking restriction
would improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and improve safety on streets that are impacted by
existing traffic as well as the expected traffic for the State Fair.
No Parking restriction was proposed on both sides of the following streets:
· On Fonner Park Road, from Pleasant View Drive to Stuhr Road;
· On Stolley Park Road, from 500 feet west of Adams Street to Stuhr Road;
· On Stuhr Road, from the south city limits (Wood River) to Bismark Road;
A No Parking restriction was already in place on Fonner Park Road from Locust Street to
Pleasant View Drive.
The No Parking restriction would also allow for striping of Stolley Park Road from west of
Adams Street to Locust Street as a 3-lane roadway. Changing this section of Stolley Park Road
to a 3-lane roadway would make the roadway safer and improve traffic flow. A similar change
from a 2-lane to a 3-lane roadway was made on Faidley Avenue from Webb Road to east of
Custer Avenue a number of years back that had proven to work very well. Letters were sent to
adjacent property owners along Stolley Park Road notifying them of the possible change.
Judy Watson, 405 West Stolley Park Road and Paul Buck, 419 E. Nebraska Avenue spoke in
opposition.
Motion by Carney, second by Dugan to approve Resolution #2010-166. Discussion was held
regarding a temporary no parking zone during the State Fair.
Motion by Gilbert, second by Carney to amend the main motion to take effect the two weeks of
the State Fair and to include a permanent three lane east of South Locust. Upon roll call vote, all
voted aye. Motion adopted.
Upon roll call vote of the main motion, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
#2010-170 – Approving Amended Interlocal Agreement with the Community Redevelopment
Authority. Chad Nabity, Regional Planning Director reported that the Community
Redevelopment Authority and the City of Grand Island entered into an interlocal agreement to
have the Regional Planning Director act as Director of the CRA beginning July 1, 2005.
According to the terms of the agreement the CRA would pay 10% of the Director's salary and
Page 5, City Council Regular Meeting, June 22, 2010
benefits and 10% of the planning department's secretary's salary and benefits to offset the cost of
this service.
In 2007, for the 2008 budget, this agreement was amended with the CRA paying 20% of the
Director’s benefits and salary. In response to current budget constraints and in reviewing the
work performed by the planning secretary the CRA Board had determined that it would be
appropriate for the CRA to increase the percentage of the salary and benefits for that position
from 10% to 20% for the next fiscal year.
Discussion was held regarding the allocation of the work load of the planning secretary. Mr.
Nabity stated this change would save the City approximately $4,500.
Motion by Gilbert, second by Dugan to approve Resolution #2010-170. Upon roll call vote, all
voted aye. Motion adopted.
RESOLUTIONS:
#2010-171 – Approving Changes to Speed Limits on Capital Avenue, Independence Avenue,
Stolley Park Road, Stuhr Road and US Highway 281. Steve Riehle, Public Works Director
reported that the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department completed reviews of the
speed limits on Capital Avenue, Independence Avenue, Stolley Park Road, Stuhr Road and US
Highway 281 and recommended the following:
1. Capital Avenue – extend the 35 mph east of St. Paul Road to the NE Central Railroad
Tracks
2. Independence Avenue – Lower the speed limit to 25 mph from Capital Avenue to NE
Highway 2
3. Stolley Park Road – Extend the 35 mph east of Locust Street for approximately ½ mile to

Discussion was held regarding the considerations taken by the Public Works Department in
recommending these changes. Mr. Riehle stated they looked at the number of driveways, houses,
lot sizes, pedestrians and safety issues. The change in the speed limit at the railroad tracks
seemed to be a natural change. Truck routes were mentioned.
Motion by Carney, second by Gilbert to approve Resolution #2010-171. Upon roll call vote, all
voted aye. Motion adopted.

Item G9
#2010-180 - Approving Bid Award - Water Main Project 2009-W-
6 (6th Street from Elm Street to Pine Street)
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Council Session
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Gary R. Mader
City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director
Dale Shotkoski, City Attorney
Meeting: July 13, 2010
Subject: Bid Award for Water Main Project 2009-W-6
Sixth Street, Elm Street to Pine Street
Item #’s: G-9
Presenter(s): Gary R. Mader, Utilities Director
Background
The existing water system infrastructure in Sixth Street between Elm Street and Pine
Street is well over 100 years old. This is evident from an existing fire hydrant in the
project area that is stamped “Feb 1880”, and the Department has water service cards for
the area that date back to 1908.
At the time of its installation, the existing 4” diameter cast iron main was state of the art.
And, although the main remains in good physical condition, it does not meet today’s
modern requirements for fire protection and service. The referenced project provides for
furnishing materials, the trenchless installation of a new 8” diameter ductile-iron water
main, new water service connections to the adjacent residential properties, and the
abandonment of the old 4” main. Replacing this section of main will insure continued
operation service, reliability, and improved fire protection in the area. A map of the
project area is attached for reference.
Funding for the project will be a cost share between the Water Department and the
Nebraska Department of Economic Development. The project meets eligibility
requirements for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. This is a
project share with CDBG picking up approximately 80% of the project costs.
Discussion
Bidding documents, specifications and plans were advertised in accordance with City
Procurement Codes and issued to 15 contractors. Bids were received and publicly opened
at 2:00 p.m. on June 10, 2010. Four firms submitted bids that have been reviewed for
accuracy and completeness.
The “as read” bids were:
Bidder Exceptions Bid Price Completion Date
K2 Construction None $293,902.22 November 24, 2010
Lincoln, NE
Diamond Engineering Co. None $303,357.69 Septemter 30, 2010
Grand Island, NE
General Excavating None $393,954.28 October 30, 2010
Lincoln, NE
Myers Construction, Inc. None $427,650.20 October 31, 2010
Broken Bow, NE
All bids have been reviewed and evaluated. A tabulation of the bid evaluation form is
attached for reference. The bids from Diamond Engineering Company and from General
Excavating are complete and without exceptions. There were issues on the other two bids
received.
The highest “as read” bid from Meyers Construction, contained an error in the quantity
per unit price calculations for Item C.1.34 Remove Asph./Conc. Driveway. Their listed
amount was $7,764.00 vs. the correct amount of $776.40. The error is from a misplaced
decimal point and is a difference of $6,987.60, resulting in an evaluated lowering of their
total bid to $420,662.60. Additionally, Myers Construction failed to sign and submit
several requirements on the Contractor’s Bid form. These include omitting the sections
dealing with sales tax options; a breakdown of their bid for use by the City’s Finance
Department; and failure to sign and date their bid. They also did not submit forms for the
CDBG certification. Perry Myers, President, Myers Construction, was contacted by
phone on these issues. He appreciated the information and stated that he had hurried
through the paperwork and had not done a very good job of preparing his bid. He said
they had submitted the data per normal processes. He hoped that we would keep them on
our bidders list.
The low “as read” bid submitted from K2 Construction also contained errors and
omissions. On Item C.1.36 Remove Conc. Curb and Gutter Section, K2’s quantity per
unit price extension listed a total amount of $2,595.55. The correct amount is $2,604.80,
a difference of $9.25. This correction increases their total bid to $293,911.47. There was
also an error in the breakdown data of their bid for sales tax on the project, and in the
CDBG section of the contract documents. The documents were not completed. K2
Construction was contacted in regard to the above referenced incorrect and missing data.
All information, forms, and correctly calculated amounts have satisfactorily been
submitted and reviewed. All issues are evaluated as resolved with an evaluated bid
amount of $293,911.47.
K2 Construction has not previously done any work in the Grand Island area. Therefore,
their listed references and other individuals were contacted to check work history. In
summary, they are a somewhat new company, in business since 2001. They had various
problems in the past with the City of Lincoln. However, these issues have been resolved
and they are doing work for Lincoln. In 2009, Lincoln awarded K2 the contract to install
the replacement water mains on the UNL campus. This was a high profile project and K2
received positive evaluations from references contacted. Also, K2 has just been awarded
a contract to replace 2,500 lf. of water main in “O” Street in Lincoln.
The general comments from K2’s material suppliers and various other entities reported
that on recent projects, their quality, scheduling, and overall performance was good.
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 the contract for Water Main
Project 2009-W-6, Sixth Street, from Elm Street to Pine Street, to the low bidder, K2
Construction of Lincoln, Nebraska, in the amount of $293,911.47.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the contract for Water Main Project 2009-W-6, Sixth Street, from Elm
Street to Pine Street, to K2 Construction of Lincoln, Nebraska.

Council Agenda Memo
From: Steve Paustian, Parks & Recreation Director
Meeting: July 13, 2010
Subject: Approving Peter Keiwit Grant Agreement
Item #’s: G-10
Presenter(s): Steve Paustian
Background
A Peter Kiewit Foundation grant application was prepared and submitted in April 2010.
In June, the Kiewit Foundation awarded $55,564 to the City of Grand Island to purchase
Community Field House recreational equipment for the 70,000 square foot Community
Field House constructed at Fonner Park. The City of Grand Island will manage the
facility from October 1 through July 31 annually and provide indoor recreational and
group activities. The building, sports flooring, and raised lighting are in place but
recreational equipment is needed to carry out programming.
Discussion
The grant may be used to purchase recreational equipment by priority as needed for
programming at the Field House. The grant requires $166,963 in new cash contributions
as a grant match but, of that amount, $15,000 has been received from a local foundation
and $100,000 has been committed by the Nebraska State Fair toward the purchase of
indoor equipment needs. The additional $51,000 is expected to come from other grant
awards and miscellaneous cash purchases by the City for the facility.
A Grant Agreement and a Letter of Understanding sepcifying the terms and conditions of
the award have been sent to the City to accept the grant award. The grant period runds
from June 29, 2010 to June 30, 2011. Staff recommends that the Mayor be authorized to
sign all grant related documents and that the grant be accepted by the City.
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 the Grant Agreement and
Letter of Understanding and authorize the Mayor to sign related documents.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Grant Agreement and Letter of Understanding and authorize the
Mayor to sign related documents.

Meeting: July 13, 2010
Subject: Approving Bid Award for Addition to Transfer Station
Storage Building
Item #’s: G-12
Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background
On May 29, 2010 the Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department advertised
for an addition to the Transfer Station Storage Building. There were six (6) potential
bidders.
Discussion
Three (3) bids were received and opened on June 24, 2010. The Solid Waste Division of
the Public Works Department reviewed the bids that were received. The bid submitted by
Rathman & Manning Corporation of Chapman, Nebraska meets all of the specifications.
Bidder Bid Price Deductive Bid

Deductive Bid “A” allows for removing the liner panel bid item from the project,
Deductive Bid “B” permits removing the splash block bid item. As the base bid including
the liner panel and splash block is only $750 above the estimate of $80,000, Public
Works Administration would recommend awarding the base bid. When compared to the
other two bids received the base bid of Rathman & Manning Corp. is considered fair and
reasonable.
The original truck storage building was constructed in 2005 and is used for storage and
maintenance of a portion of the Transfer Station’s fleet of trucks and trailers used in the
daily transport of solid waste to the Landfill. This addition to the existing building will be
utilized for storage and maintenance of heavy equipment and some additional small
equipment that is also used in the daily operations at the Transfer Station.
The funds for this building addition are in the approved FY 2010 budget.

It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.

Background
City Council approved Resolution 736 on Deember 10, 1973 which prohibits parking on

Discussion
It has been determined that the no parking restriction on Fonner Park Road from South

been enforced in the past 30+ years and there have not been any safety issues that have
arisen with parking along this stretch.

Subject: Approving Designating No Parking on Fonner Park
Road, from South Locust Street to Pleasant View Drive
Item #’s: G-14
Presente r(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background
Council action is required to designate No Parking on any public street.
Representatives from the Public Works Department, Police Department, Sherriff’s
Department, Department of Roads, State Fair, State Patrol, and the Grand Island
Chamber of Commerce are looking at measures to help with traffic flow in preparation
for the 2010 Nebraska State Fair. Items being discussed include on-site & off-site
parking; traffic control on city streets, county roads, state highways and Interstate 80; and
signage.
One of the recommendations from the committee was to consider parking restrictions on
streets near the Fonner Park/Heartland Events Center and the State Fair.
Discussion
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department reviewed traffic flows and
safety in the area and recommend the designation of No Parking in the noted locations.
The No Parking restriction will improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and improve
safety on streets that are impacted by existing traffic as well as the expected traffic for the
State Fair.
A No Parking restriction is proposed on both sides of Fonner Park Road, from South
Locust Street to Pleasant View Drive, during the days of the State Fair. This would match
with no parking restrictions that were set at the June 22, 2010 council meeting.
Council is also being asked to rescind the current No Parking restriction from 1973 on
Fonner Park Road from Locust Street to Pleasant View Drive at tonight's meeting.
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

Council Session
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Brenda Sutherland
City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Brenda Sutherland, Human Resources Director
Meeting: July 13, 2010
Subject: Approving Wellness Contract
Item #’s: G-15
Presenter(s): Brenda Sutherland, Human Resources Director
Background
The City of Grand Island began its wellness program almost four years ago. At that time
the Healthways contract was administered through the health insurance contract with
Mutual of Omaha. Later Coventry purchased Mutual of Omaha’s book of business and
the wellness contract was picked up by Coventry. The City’s contract with Coventry
expired on September 30, 2009. As the wellness year had already begun and the onsite
physicals were held, employees were able to receive services through Healthways into
fiscal year 2010. When the City brought forward a new third party administrator for its
health and dental insurance a wellness contract was not part of the package.
The City chose to implement a wellness plan as a way to improve employee’s health and
in turn help to reduce overall health insurance costs. This has proven to be the case.
Within 1 year after implementation, the City’s health claims dropped by more than
$250,000. The claims remained at that level for the last three years with only a slight
increase of around 1%. Nationally, health claims have risen around 10% annually. Our
wellness program has proven to be an important part of our claims management process.
Health insurance claims are cyclical and we can expect a bad year from time to time. But
our last three years have been very good.
Discussion
The City advertised a Request for Proposal in April and received 6 proposals by the
closing date in May. Three finalists were selected for interviews based on the how well
they met the criteria in the RFP. Interviews were held by a group with representation
from human resources, finance and legal/purchasing. The company being recommended
to continue the wellness program is our current carrier, Healthways. Healthways
presented the best overall proposal. The cost will remain the same as it was before which
is $110 per participant. The set up fee per site is $150. Employees will have the same
benefits and level of service that they have currently. The contract will run for three years
with a renewal guarantee that the cost will increase by no more than 3% per year. The
contract is attached for review
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 the wellness contract with
American Healthways Services, Inc.

#2010-190 - Consideration of Amending the IAFF Contract
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Council Session
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Troy Hughes
City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Jeff Pederson, City Administrator
Meeting: July 13, 2010
Subject: Approving Amending IAFF Contract
Item #’s: I-4
Presenter(s): Jeff Pederson, City Administrator
Background
The current Agreement between the City of Grand Island and Local 647 of the IAFF
expires September 30 of this year. Negotiations for a new Agreement would typically
begin months prior to the expiration. The 2010-2011 Proposed Budget has been prepared
in anticipation of some expense increase associated with potential changes to the
Agreement.
Discussion
The City was approached by the IAFF several weeks ago with an interest in extending the
current Agreement by one year. Discussions took place regarding the impact that the
2010/2011 budget reduction wo uld have on staffing levels, and the prospect for position
retention should the current Agreement be extended at current terms for wages and
benefits.
Included in the discussion was an interest expressed by the IAFF in discussing the
prospect of a sick leave incentive plan.
Subsequent to those discussions, Local 647 of the IAFF has voted to agree to a one-year
extension of the current Labor Agreement under present terms and conditions with the
further understanding that sick leave incentive would be an item for negotiation for the
next Agreement.
I recommend that the City Council approve this addendum, as it would give the City the
ability to retain current positions in the Fire Department through FY 2010/2011.
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 the addendum to the IAFF
contract.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the addendum to the IAFF contract.
