Item C1
Recognition of "Savvy Awards"
The City of Grand Island Public Information Division recently was recognized for two
national awards by the City-County Communications and Marketing Association’s (3CMA).
The Savvy Awards competition recognizes outstanding local government achievements in
communications marketing, public relations and citizen-government relationships. The
Public Information Office was notified in July that two submitted entries were selected as a
finalist as part of the Savvy Award competition.
At the 3CMA National Conference the Public Information Division was notified of their
standings. The City of Grand Island’s “Leave-a-Mark, Adopt-a-Park” event, sponsored by
the Community Youth Council in partnership with the Parks Department, received the first
place Savvy Award for all city population sizes, in the category of 2009-10 Special
Events—One Time Event. At the City Council meeting Paige Liess, youth co-chair of the
event and Brad Foster, representing the Parks Department, will be recognized for the role
their groups played in the event.
The second category that the Public Information Division was recognized by the 3CMA
organization was the 2009-10 TV Promotional Video—population of 1 to 82,172. At the City
Council meeting, the efforts of Grand Island Television audio technician Jeremy Watson, in
partnership with Police Department, will be recognized for receiving the second place Silver
Circle Award, for the Police Recruitment Video, entitled “A Dedication to Serve.” Last year
the City of Grand Island took home the Savvy Award in this same category for GITV’s Fire
Recruitment Video.
3CMA received over 580 entries this year in three divisions containing 13 categories. Savvy
Award entries are judged on overall accomplishments, with measurable outcomes being
heavily weighted. In addition, entries are judged on overall creativity, quality of content,
design and production, and budget.

Item E1
Public Hearing on Request from Olsson Associates on behalf of
Helen Foreman for a Conditional Use Permit for a Soil Vapor
Extraction and Air Sparge Remediation Trailer Located near 1515

Council Agenda Memo
From: Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting: October 28, 2008
Subject: Request of Olsson Associates on behalf of Ms. Helen
Forman for a Conditional Use Permit for a Temporary
Trailer Located at 1515 West 2nd Street
Item #’s: E-1 & H-1
Presenter(s): Craig Lewis – Building Department Director
Background
This request is for approval of a conditional use permit to allow for the placement of a
vapor extraction trailer to facilitate the removal of petroleum contamination from
groundwater at the site. The site is currently zoned (B-2) General Business. 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. The request is for approval for a five
year period.
Discussion
This proposal is to allow for the use of the trailer at the site to aid in the clean up of
groundwater. The proposed length of time is for five years, however the City code
provides for a two year approval with the possibility of subsequent approvals. The site
location is such that it would not appear that this request will have any negative impact
on the neighboring properties, and no concerns have been presented.
The proposal includes the installation of a cedar picket fence for screening. It does appear
appropriate to include this as a condition to any approval as the Business Improvement
District and local property owners have a considerable investment in providing
landscaping along the 2nd Street corridor.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1. Approve the request for a Conditional Use Permit finding that the proposed
application is and will continue to be in conforma nce with the purpose of the
zoning regulations.
2. Disapprove or /Deny the request, finding that the proposed application does
not conform to the purpose of the zoning regulations.
3. Approve the request with additional or revised conditions and a finding of
fact.
4. Refer the matter to a special committee for a determination of a finding of
fact.
Recommendation
Approve the request with the condition that the proposed picket fence be maintained at a
height of 6’ around the trailer and associated equipment during the duration of the
conditional use permit and for a two year period, finding that the proposed use and
application promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community, protects
property against blight and depreciation, and is generally harmonious with the
surrounding neighborhood.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the request for a conditional use permit to allow for the use of a
temporary vapor extraction facility for a two year period, including staff
recommendations, finding that the application conforms with the purpose of the zoning
regulations.

Item #’s: E-2 & G-13

appurtenances, including lines and transformers.
Discussion
Rhoads Enterprises, Inc. is constructing two four unit apartments at the addresses listed. The
power needed will be fed from a pad-mounted transformer between the two buildings. The
easement will be used to locate the transformer and needed underground cable.
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

Construction
Item #’s: E-3 & G-14
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

located at 3321 Island Circle and 702 South Webb Road, 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
Lacy Construction is constructing a new building for GMD which will need electrical
service and a new transformer. This easement will be used to locate the primary electrical
cable and another new transformer. It will also allow the Utilities Department to create a
loop through the property so each transformer will have the ability to be fed from two
directions which will improve reliability.
Alternatives

The Council may:
1. Make a motion to approve
2. Refer the issue to a Committee

Meeting: October 12, 2010
Subject: Public Hearing on Acquisition of a Portion of South
Locust Street between the Grand Island City Limits and
the Northernmost Terminus of the Exit Ramps to the
Interstate 80 Interchange (County of Hall, Nebraska)
Item #’s: E-4 & G-16
Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background
Nebraska State Statutes stipulate that the acquisition of property requires a public hearing
be conducted with the acquisition approved by the City Council.
Through an Inter-Local Agreement, entered into on April 6, 1992 between the City and
Hall County, it is stated that upon completion of its improvements and construction
obligations Hall County shall transfer to the City of Grand Island that portion of South
Locust Street between the Grand Island city limits and the northernmost terminus of the
exit ramps at the Interstate 80 interchange.
Discussion
With the completion of the 4-lane roadway on South Locust Street it is now time to
complete the transfer of the portion of South Locust Street named in the Inter-Local
Agreement. The County Board approved the transfer of real estate to the City at their
September 28, 2010 meeting.
Since the City is taking over maintenance of this section of Locust Street, Public Works
Administration will bring forward a resolution for council to refer the property to the
RPC for them to consider annexation of the right-of-way into City limits.
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
Public Works Administration recommends that the Council conduct a Public Hearing and
approve acquisition of that portion of South Locust Street between the Grand Island city
limits and the northernmost terminus of the exit ramps at the Interstate 80 interchange.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the acquisition.

Council Agenda Memo
From: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Meeting: October 12, 2010
Subject: Amending Ordinance No. 9141 for Sidewalk District No.
1, 2007 (Second and Final Reading)
Item #’s: F-1
Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background
On September 25, 2007 City Council approved Ordinance No. 9141, which created
Sidewalk District No. 1, 2007. Property owners at 519 & 523 E 14th Street, which are in
Sidewalk District No. 1, 2007, have requested their two (2) lots be removed from the
District, as they are on a dead end street that leads to the overhead railway. Council
action is necessary to make any amendments to an Ordinance.
Discussion
All locations included in Sidewalk District No. 1, 2007, except 519 & 523 E 14th Street;
706 Kennedy Drive; and 424 E 14th Street have sidewalk installed. In order to final this
project and assess the properties involved, a resolution needs to be reached as to whether
the property at 519 & 523 E 14th Street will be removed from the District or if the
sidewalk will be built.
Council considered the request at the September 28, 2010 regular council meeting and
passed the ordinance on 1st reading. The ordinance to remove the properties at 519 & 523
E 14th Street from the sidewalk district was passed based on council’s finding of fact that
requiring sidewalk does not serve a public purpose. This evening’s council meeting could
be the 2nd and final reading for the ordinance.
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
Public Works Administration recommends that the Council amend Ordinance No. 9141
to remove the property at 519 E 14th Street and 523 E 14th Street from Sidewalk District
No. 1, 2007.
Sample Motion
Move to approve amendment of Ordinance No. 9141.

Item G15
#2010-283 - Acquisition of Utility Easements for St. Libory
Transmission Line by Condemnation - Leisers - Tracts 6 & 10
Tuesday, October 12, 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: October 12, 2010
Subject: Acquisition of Utility Easements – George W. Leiser,
Trustee and William G. and Sandra K. Leiser 115 kV
Line; Tracts 6 and 10
Item #’s: G-15
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
Unlike the other 21 tracts associated with the transmission line construction project, we
were unable to reach a negotiated settlement on two easements, Tract 6 (extending ½
mile north of Abbot Road), and Tract 10 (a ¼ mile long tract north of White Cloud
Road). Both Tract 6 and 10 are owned by George W. Leiser, Trustee; William G. Leiser
and Sandra K. Leiser, Husband and Wife. Maps of the easement locations are attached
for reference. Because of the inability to reach a negotiated settlement, the City
Attorney’s Office filed the appropriate court documents to proceed with the appointment
of a Board of Appraisers and to proceed with a condemnation process to acquire the
needed easements. The Board of Appraisers convened on Monday, September 27, 2010
at the Hall County Court House. After hearing testimony from the City and from the
property owner, the hearing was re-convened at the locations of the properties in question
where the appraisers viewed actual field conditions. The Board of Appraisers issued their
findings later that same afternoon. Their ruling sets the value of the easement on Tract 6
at $3,590.00, and the value of the easement on Tract 10 at $1,615.00. A copy of
Appraisers’ ruling is attached.
Note: The attached appraisers’ document also refers to property owned by Norma, Jerry
and Barbara Simonson. Prior to the hearing, a tentative negotiated settlement was reached
with those parties. Therefore a hearing was not conducted and no rulings made on the
Simonson’s properties.
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 accept the findings of the court
appointed appraisers and authorize payme nt of $3,590.00 for the electrical easement on
Tract 6 and payment of $1,615.00 for the electrical easement on Tract 10.
Sample Motion
Move to accept the findings of the court appointed appraisers and authorize payment of
$3,590.00 for the electrical easement on Tract 6 and payment of $1,615.00 for the
electrical easement on Tract 10.

hereby is, authorized to acquire said portion of South Locust Street from the County of Hall,
Nebraska, on the above-described tract of land.

City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Meeting: October 12, 2010
Subject: Approving Agreement with NDOR for National Bridge
Inspection Standards Responsibilities
Item #’s: G-17
Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background
All agreements must be approved by the City Council. The Nebraska Department of
Roads (NDOR), at the request of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), has
prepared an agreement between the City and the NDOR to establish uniform bridge
inspection and load rating guidelines in accordance with the Nationa l Bridge Inspection
Standards (NBIS).
Discussion
The State is responsible for the inspection and evaluation of all State Highway System
bridges, while the City is responsible for the inspection and evaluation of all bridges on
streets and roadways within their respective jurisdiction. Bridge inspections and load
ratings are a requirement of the NBIS and the Nebraska Bridge Inspection Program
(BIP). A BIP Manual was developed by the NDOR to set forth methods and proceduress
that enable local public bridge owners to comply with the NBIS. The NDOR will create
and maintain a database for bridge inventory and load rate data for all public bridges in
Nebraska.
Funding for such inspections will be from a combination of federal aid and local funds.
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
Public Works Administration recommends that the Council approve a resolution
authorizing the Mayor to sign the agreement.
Sample Motion
Move to approve authorization for the Mayor to sign the agreement.

#2010-286 - Approving Bid Award for Downtown
Lawn/Landscape Maintenance and Sidewalk Snow Removal
Adjacent to Public Parking Lots
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Council Session
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Meeting: October 12, 2010
Subject: Approving Bid Award for Downtown Lawn/Landscape
Maintenance and Sidewalk Snow Removal Adjacent to
Public Parking Lots
Item #’s: G-18
Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background
On August 22, 2010 the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department
advertised for bids for Downtown Lawn/Landscape Maintenance and Sidewalk Snow
Removal adjacent to public parking lots in Parking District #2, including equipment and
labor. There were five (5) potential bidders for the work.
Discussion
One bid was received and opened on September 21, 2010. The Engineering Division of
the Public Works Department and the Purchasing Division of the City Attorney's Office
reviewed the bid that was received. The bid is shown below.
Bidder Description Bid Estimate
Mowing $35.00 each $50.00 each
Maintenance $2,840.00 yearly
lump sum
$9,000.00 yearly
lump sum
Rick's Lawn Care Co.
of Grand Island, NE
Snow Removal $125.00 per hour $160.00 per hour
The exceptions listed by Rick's Lawn Care Co. were to use sterilization to prevent grass
and plants from growing in the sidewalks; parking lot concrete joint and crack areas;
shrub and tree beds; and the tree grate areas. The bid specifications called for Spring Pre-
Emergent to be used for the prevention of grass and plants growing in the previously
listed areas, the bid to use sterilization is deemed acceptable. An item was also added at
$45.00 per hour shovel time for snow removal on sidewalks; this will help reduce the
overall cost of the snow removal.
Funds are available in Account Numbers 27010001-85213 & 27110010-85213 for this
maintenance. The cost for this work is paid for through assessments to downtown
businesses in Parking District #2. The specifications include automatic renewal of the
contract with a 60 day cancellation clause.
The Downtown Board made a request to the City this past spring that certain work be
eliminated from the Downtown Lawn/Landscape Maintenance and Snow Removal
contract. The work that has been removed from the contract consists of litter pickup; and
shrub, tree & grate maintenance and can be attributed to the reduced cost of lump sum
maintenance work that included things such as grate cleanup work. This maintenance
work will be done by the Green Team, which is managed by the Downtown Board.
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
Public Works Administration recommends that the Council approve awarding the
contract for Downtown Lawn/Landscape Maintenance & Snow Removal to Rick’s Lawn
Care Company of Grand Island, Nebraska.
Sample Motion
Move to approve awarding the contract for Downtown Lawn/Landscape Maintenance &
Snow Removal to Rick’s Lawn Care Company of Grand Island, Nebraska.

#2010-287 - Approving Bid Award for One (1) 2011 Dozer
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Council Session
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Meeting: October 12, 2010
Subject: Approving Bid Award for One (1) 2011 Model Tracked
Dozer (Solid Waste Division)
Item #’s: G-19
Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background
On August 14, 2010 the Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department advertised
for a 2011 Model Tracked Dozer. There were three potential bidders for this machine.
Funds for the dozer are in the approved 2010/2011 budget.
The tracked dozer is an essential front-line machine used at the landfill on a daily basis. It
is used for pushing and spreading incoming solid waste at the working face operating in
tandem with the compactor, pushing and spreading WWTP sludge for use as alternate
daily cover, and for pushing and spreading soil for use as intermediate cover, among
other essential tasks. We typically replace this machine every four years and utilize a
total cost of ownership bid process which includes a re-purchase agreement, total
machine warranty, and a preventative maintenance/customer service agreement. The total
cost of ownership bid process has served us well.
Discussion
Bids were received and opened on September 8, 2010. The Solid Waste Division of the
Public Works Department and the Purchasing Division reviewed the bids that were
received. The dozer bid by Roadbuilders Machinery of Grand Island, NE is the lowest bid
based on an anticipated 4-year ownership, but several important exceptions were noted.
The dozer bid by NMC, Inc. of Doniphan, NE meets all of the specifications with no
exceptions.
Bidder Base
Price
Repurchasing Agreement Net Cost of
Ownership
NMC, Inc. of Doniphan, NE $668,899 4 yrs or 9,250 hours = $211,092 $457,807
Roadbuilders Machinery of
Grand Island, NE
$570,158 4 yrs or 9,250 hours = $140,000 $430,158
*Base price includes 7,500 hour total machine warranty and 8,000 hour service
agreement
There were several noteworthy exceptions to the specifications in the bid submitted by
Roadbuilders Machinery. Changing the exceptions after the bid opening could be
considered negotiating and is not allowed.
1. The specifications required heavy-duty swing-out screens for the cab doors,
which Roadbuilders Machinery stated they would not provide. The screens are
meant to prevent debris from shattering the cab glass and for operator safety and
protection. It is also necessary for the screens to swing-out in order for the
equipment operators to be able to clean the glass for visibility while operating the
machine. The estimated cost to add the screen is $1,500.00.
2. Roadbuilders Machinery also listed a stipulation to their re-purchase agreement
that the dozer’s undercarriage must have at least 50% service life left on all
components in order for the City to receive the guaranteed re-purchase amount
when the City replaces the machine. A tracked dozer’s undercarriage consists of
several high-wear steel components that would cost the City an estimated $32,000
to $39,000 to replace. The Solid Waste Division has operated several tracked
machines at the Landfill in the past, none of which have ever had 50% service life
left on the undercarriage when the machine was replaced. All of the
undercarriages were replaced by the dealer after trade-in before being sold to
another customer.
3. The bid specifications also stated that the bidders should include warranty
details with the machine and that failure to comply may cause bid rejection. As
part of the base bid, a 7,500 hour total machine warranty was specified in the bid
documents. The warranty details provided with Roadbuilders Machinery’s bid
was a sample warranty which did not meet many of the criteria for the requested
7,500 hour total machine warranty.
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
Public Works Administration recommends that the Council approve the purchase of the
2011 Model Tracked Dozer from NMC, Inc.

#2010-288 - Approving Amendment #1 To Agreement For Landfill
Re-Permitting
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Council Session
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Meeting: October 12, 2010
Subject: Approving Amendment #1 To Agreement For Landfill
Re-Permitting
Item #’s: G-20
Presenter(s): Steven P. Riehle, Public Works Director
Background
The City of Grand Island owns and operates a Transfer Station and Landfill for solid
waste management operations for the City of Grand Island and the surrounding area.
Both facilities are operated under NDEQ Title 132 regulations. The current Title 132
operating permit for the Landfill expires on April 15, 2011.
On May 25, 2010 the City Council approved the award of proposal for Professional
Services with Aquaterra Environmental Solutions, Inc. for consulting services related to
re-permitting of the Solid Waste Landfill. Any amendments to the agreement must be
approved by the City Council. The agreement provided technical work to meet with the
City and the NDEQ to determine the requirements of the re-permitting process, represent
the City in meetings and public hearings, review and revise all permit drawings, and
incorporate the recently completed major permit modification into the permit application
at a maximum cost of $43,605.
Discussion
Aquaterra Environmental Solutions submitted the permit application and supporting
documentation to the NDEQ on August 20, 2010. The NDEQ reviewed the permit
application documents and responded with numerous comments pertaining to the permit
application on September 14, 2010. The majority of the comments from the NDEQ that
need to be addressed pertain to sections of the permit that had been previously approved
in the City’s 2001 and 2006 operating permits. This amount of effort was not previously
thought to be necessary and, consequently, was not part of the original scope of work
covered under the original agreement.
The NDEQ has identified and commented on several appendices from the current
operating permit that must be changed as summarized below:
1. Appendix A (Operational Plan) – language pertaining to leachate re-
circulation, which is not permitted at our Landfill, but the NDEQ wants it
documented in our permit.
2. Appendix E (Ground Water Monitoring Plan) – multiple sections pertaining to
monitoring system adjustments and sampling procedures.
3. Appendix F (Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan) – add detailed language
pertaining to well/probe locations, boring logs, and reporting timelines.
4. Appendix G (Closure/Post-Closure Plan) – language pertaining to the capping
system, venting layer, erosion layer, and final cover vegetation.
5. Appendix H (Financial Assurance) – individual costs for future closure/post-
closure activities.
6. Appendix I (Construction Quality Assurance Plan) – language pertaining to
CQA for letdown structures, drainage structures, and corrective action.
7. Appendix K (Permit Drawings) – permit drawings such as additional cross
sections, adding future gas vent locations, and separating a certain drawing
into two new drawings.
The NDEQ requires that these comments be addressed and re-submitted to them by
November 15, 2010 in order to comply with their pre-determined deadlines to complete
the re-permitting process by April 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
Public Works Administration recommends that the Council approve the amendment to
the agreement with Aquaterra Environmental Solutions, Inc. for Professional Services
related to re-permitting of the Solid Waste Landfill with work being performed at actual
costs with a maximum amount of $15,879.

Council Agenda Memo
From: Steve Paustian, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting: October 12, 2010
Subject: Contract Modification for Concrete Work at the Veterans
Athletic Field Complex
Item #’s: G-21
Presenter(s): Steve Paustian, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
In November of 2009 bids were received for the construction of a parking lot and other
concrete work at the Veterans Athletic Field Complex. Diamond Engineering of Grand
Island submitted the low responsible bid for this work. A line item in the original bid
called for the construction of a 10 ft. sidewalk leading from the parking lot to the
commons area. Diamond engineering submitted a unit cost of $24.30 per square yard for
this work. This price provided by Diamond Engineering was the lowest unit cost price for
this work when compared to the four other bids received.
Discussion
As part of the original design, we are now ready to pour the sidewalks and commons area
around the concession/restroom building and under the bleachers and picnic shelters.
Diamond Engineering, having submitted the low bid for this type of work it is in the best
interest of the City to modify the contract to extend the publicly bid unit price submitted
by Diamond Engineering.
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 future date
4. Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the contact modification in the
amount of $58,320.00 to allow for the concrete flatwork associated with the commons
area around the concession/restroom building and under the bleachers and picnic shelters
at the Veterans Athletic Field Complex, based upon the unit bid price of $24.30 per
square yard.
Sample Motion
Move to modify the contract to Diamond Engineering by $58,320.00 for concrete work in
the commons area of the Veterans Athletic Field Complex.

City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Mary Lou Brown, Finance Director
Meeting: October 12, 2010
Subject: Approving Extension of the Escrow Agreement for the
Fieldhouse
Item #’s: G-23
Presenter(s): Mary Lou Brown, Finance Director
Background
The City of Grand Island (Lessee), Wells Fargo Brokerage Services, LLC (Lessor) and
Wells Fargo Bank, NA (Escrow Agent) entered into an escrow agreement dated July 1,
2009. The escrow agreement is related to the financing of the Fieldhouse.
Discussion
Section 2.03 of the escrow agreement states that “Amounts for payment of costs of the
Project shall be disbursed no later than August 31, 2010.” Since payments of costs related
to the Project are continuing, it is appropriate to make a change to the existing escrow
agreement. The Lessor is proposing that an amendment to the escrow agreement be
executed and that the amendment move the date from August 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011.
Costs totaling $4,494,253.12 have been submitted to Council through the September 28,
2010 Council meeting. It is expected that the remainder of the $5,000,000 will be
expended prior to June 30, 2011; however, in order to accommodate the unknown, it is
recommended that the date be extended to June 30, 2011.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1. Move to approve the amendment to the escrow agreement by and between the
Lessor, the Lessee and the Escrow Agent. The amendment extends the
payment of costs from August 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011.
2. Postpone the issue to a future meeting.
3. Take no action.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that Council approve the amendment to the escrow
agreement by and between the Lessor, the Lessee and the Escrow Agent. The amendment
extends the payment of costs from August 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011
Sample Motion
Move to approve the amendment to the escrow agreement by and between the Lessor, the
Lessee and the Escrow Agent.
