Public Hearing on Acquisition of Utility Easement - Part of Lot 1,
Block 2 Ponderosa Lake Estates 4th Subdivision - Hehnke
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 5 / 212
Council Agenda Memo
From:Robert H. Smith, Asst. Utilities Director
Meeting:July 23, 2013
Subject:Acquisition of Utility Easement – Lot One (1), Block
Two (2) Ponderosa Lake Estates Fourth Subdivision -
Hehnke
Item #’s:E-1, G-6
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, 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 K.C. and Deborah Hehnke, located through a part of Lot One (1), Block Two (2),
Ponderosa Lake Estates Fourth Subdivision, an addition to the City of Grand Island, Hall
County, in order to have access to install, upgrade, maintain, and repair water lines.
Discussion
When Ponderosa Lake Estates Fourth Subdivision was developed, the owner installed a
water line across the property and turned over ownership to the City per standard
procedures. The transfer of ownership normally includes an easement, but this easement
was not included on the plat. While performing an audit of the GIS system, it was
discovered that the easement did not exist. This property has since been sold to the
Hehnkes.
As the City needs the easement to access the water lines, and to compensate the current
owner for the loss of use of this portion of their property, an appraisal was commissioned
to obtain a fair value of the easement. The appraised price is $1,700.00, which the owner
has agreed to accept in exchange for the 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
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 6 / 212
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that Council approve the resolution for acquisition of a
public utility easement from K.C. and Deborah Hehnke, on the above-described tract of
land, for one thousand seven hundred dollars ($1,700.00).
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution for acquisition of a public utility easement from K.C. and
Deborah Hehnke, on the above-described tract of land, for one thousand seven hundred
dollars ($1,700.00).

Background
Public Works Staff in conjunction with the design engineer, Black & Veatch of Kansas
City, Missouri have jointly developed multi-year replacement planning stages for the City

planned interceptor, entitled the “North Interceptor” will replace aged gravity sanitary
sewer, reduce or eliminate current sewer pumping station(s), and provide additional
capacity for existing and new growth areas of Grand Island.
The new North Interceptor route was developed to incorporate, and partner with other
utilities for the Capital Avenue Widening Project, and the new Headworks Pumping Station
Project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
A phased approach of constructing the North Interceptor was developed as follows:
Phase I - Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to 7th Street / Skypark Road
Phase II (Part A) - 7th Street / Skypark Road to Broadwell Avenue
Phase II (Part B) - Broadwell Avenue to Webb Road
Phase II (Part C) - Webb Road to Diers Avenue (Lift Station No. 19)
Nebraska State Statutes stipulate that the acquisition of property requires a public hearing
to be conducted with the acquisition approved by the City Council. Public right-of-way
is needed to accommodate the North Interceptor Phase II, Part B project, which is on
Capital Avenue from Webb Road to Broadwell Avenue.
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 13 / 212
Discussion
To allow for the accommodation of public utilities and a widened roadway along Capital
Avenue from Webb Road to Broadwell Avenue it is requested that forty-two (42) feet of
public right-of-way be acquired by the City of Grand Island on the east side of Broadwell
Avenue, north side of Capital Avenue.
An appraisal and review appraisal were completed for this tract with an appraised value
of $32,000.00.
All documents have been signed and returned by the property owner. Authorization of
the document and payment to the property owner of $32,000.00 is contingent upon City
Council approval.
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

Background
In September 2009, the City of Grand Island was awarded a Disaster Recovery Grant (#08-DPI-
005) for $803,500, plus $40,175 in General Administration, for installation of a sanitary sewer
interceptor and sewer main collection system upgrade to address an urgent community
development need that occurred as a result of high ground water levels and flooding between
May 22 and June 24, 2008. The project encompasses two southern areas of Grand Island to
improve protection of homes from future sanitary sewer backups. Total project cost, including
Administration, is projected at $1,003,675.
Disaster Recovery Program funds are to be used only for activities related to disaster relief, long-
term recovery, and restoration of infrastructure in areas covered by the Federal Emergency
Management agency (FEMA) declaration of major disaster 1770-DR. Only damages occurring
during the incident period from May 22, 2008 to June 24, 2008 are considered.
Discussion
The Nebraska Department of Economic Development awarded the City of Grand Island
$150,616.00 in additional funds for Disaster Recovery Funding.
The City of Grand Island, Nebraska, is an eligible unit of the Disaster Recovery Funding
authorized to file a contract extension under the Community Development Block Grant Program.
This contract extension will provide additional time to fund the necessary site improvements and

#2013-233 - Approving Revision of Connection Fees for Water
Main District 398T - North Road between Potash and Stolley Park
Road and Setting Board of Equalization Date for August 13, 2013
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director

Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Meeting:July 23, 2013
Subject: Water Main District 398T –North Road between Potash
Highway and Stolley Park Road Determining Revisions
for Connection Fees
Item #’s:G-8
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Water Main District 398T was completed in March, 1992 and provided for the
installation of a 20” diameter water main in North Road between Potash Highway and
Stolley Park Road. The water main provides municipal water service to the adjacent
properties and was an integral part of general improvements to the water system.
The work was done as a tap (connection fee) district. This is the standard method used
by the City to recoup costs when water mains are installed along undeveloped lands, and
the connection fees are due when a property “taps” the main for service.
Connection fees were based on the cost of an 8-inch diameter main, the minimum size
necessary to serve the potable needs of properties adjacent to the main. Due to the
configuration and various sizes of the tracts of land within the district’s boundary, half of
the fee was based on property right of way front footage and half on square footage for
each tract.
Discussion
At the time of construction, two of the tracts of land within the district were owned by
Green Line Equipment, Inc., being located at 3990 West Highway 30. The property
consisting of Lot One (1) Westgate 4th Subdivision and an un-subdivided tract being part
of the NW ¼ of the SW ¼, Section 24, Township 11 North, Range 10 West. Attached is
a sketch showing the two parcels.
During the time Green Line Equipment owned and occupied the property, they remained
on their private well, and no connection fee was due.
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 65 / 212
The two parcels have recently been sold to Chief Industries, Inc. They have re-platted
the area as Lots 1 – 4, Chief/Westgate Subdivision, and are in the process of redeveloping
the area as indicated on the attached subdivision plat.
This reconfiguration has three lots adjacent and one lot (Lot 4) not adjacent to the water
line in North Road. Lot 4 will be served from the existing water main in Westgate Road,
adjacent to the north side of Lot 4, which was installed as assessment District 420 in
December, 1997, however, Lot 4 was not included in District 420 and will remain in
District 398T.
To provide equity in repayment of connection fees due from District 398T, it is
recommended that the Council reconvene as a Board of Equalization for Lots 1 – 4,
Chief/Westgate Subdivision. The original connection fees were computed on ½ square
footage and ½ front footage for each tract of land. The square foot cost is $0.0315948
and the front foot cost is $8.7037317, as follows.

444,194.00 795.90 $14,034.22 $6,927.30 $20,961.52
TOTAL $25,882.93
It is recommended that the revised connection fee of $25,882.93 be divided among the
four lots on a square foot basis. This computes to $0.0521667 per square foot and
provides equity for the properties, as now re-subdivided and currently owned by Chief
Industries.
Subdivision/Section Lot Square Footage Total Fee
Chief/Westgate Subdivision 1 69,941.03 $3,648.59
Chief/Westgate Subdivision 2 168,671.06 $8,799.02
Chief/Westgate Subdivision 3 136,916.92 $7,142.51
Chief/Westgate Subdivision 4 120,628.73 $6,292.81
TOTAL $25,882.93
The difference in the total square footage between the Green Line ownership and the
Chief Industries ownership is due to additional right-of-way being dedicated for North
Road with the platting of Chief/Westgate Subdivision.

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 reconvene as a Board of Equalization
on August 13, 2013, for Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, Chief/Westgate Subdivision (Water Main
District 398T), and re-establish connection fees for those properties.
Sample Motion
Move to reconvene as a Board of Equalization on August 13, 2013 to re-establish
connection fees for Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, Chief/Westgate Subdivision in Water Main
District 398T.

Confidentiality Agreement

Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:July 23, 2013
Subject:Southwest Power Pool Confidentiality Agreement
Item #’s:G-9
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Electric Department maintains a 115,000 volt transmission loop including
distribution substations and several transmission connections with the regional grid. The
regional grid is part of a much larger area operated by the Southwest Power Pool (SPP)
based in Little Rock, Arkansas. Grand Island has recently become a customer of SPP and
continues to become more involved with SPP as markets change.
Discussion
In a post-911 world, security of sensitive documentation has become increasingly more
important. Customers of SPP share sensitive information with other utilities for
transmission planning purposes. This information is known to SPP as Critical Energy
Infrastructure Information (CEII). In an effort to maintain the security of this
information, SPP is requiring a Non-Disclosure Agreement to be signed by all
participating utilities. A copy of the Confidential Agreement will be furnished to Council
under separate cover.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council that 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
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 73 / 212
Recommendation
City Administration recommends the SPP Confidentiality Agreement be approved and
signed to allow access to SPP transmission related material.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the SPP Confidentiality Agreement to allow access to SPP transmission
related material.

Meeting:July 23, 2013
Subject:Approving Temporary Construction Easement for the
North Interceptor Phase II, Part B; Sanitary Sewer
Project No. 2013-S-4 (Hall County)
Item #’s:G-12
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Public Works Staff in conjunction with the design engineer, Black & Veatch of Kansas
City, Missouri have jointly developed multi-year replacement planning stages for the City
of Grand Island’s large diameter gravity sanitary sewer interceptor network. The current
planned interceptor, entitled the “North Interceptor” will replace aged gravity sanitary
sewer, reduce or eliminate current sewer pumping station(s), and provide additional
capacity for existing and new growth areas of Grand Island.
The new North Interceptor route was developed to incorporate, and partner with other
utilities for the Capital Avenue Widening Project, and the new Headworks Pumping Station
Project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
A phased approach of constructing the North Interceptor was developed as follows:
Phase I - Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to 7th Street / Skypark Road
Phase II (Part A) - 7th Street / Skypark Road to Broadwell Avenue
Phase II (Part B) - Broadwell Avenue to Webb Road
Phase II (Part C) - Webb Road to Diers Avenue (Lift Station No. 19)
A Temporary Construction easement from Hall County is necessary for Phase II, Part B
of this project to be completed, which must be approved by City Council. A sketch is
attached to show the temporary construction easement area.
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 83 / 212
Discussion
A temporary construction easement is needed from one property owner for Phase II, Part
B to be constructed.
An appraisal and review appraisal were completed for this tract with an appraised value
of $2,000.00.
All documents have been signed and returned by the property owner. Authorization of
the document and payment to the property owner of $2,000.00 is contingent upon City
Council approval.
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 Temporary Construction
Easement Agreement between the City of Grand Island, Public Works Department and
the affected property owner for North Interceptor Phase II, Part B; Sanitary Sewer Project
No. 2013-S-4, in the amount of $2,000.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the temporary construction easement.

#2013-238 - Approving Bid Award for Downtown Parking Lot
Pavement Patching & Crack Repair; Project No. 2013-PL-1
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 91 / 212
Council Agenda Memo
From:Scott Griepenstroh, PW Project Manager
Meeting:July 23, 2013
Subject:Approving Bid Award for Downtown Parking Lot
Pavement Patching & Crack Repair; Project No. 2013-
PL-1
Item #’s:G-13
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On July 11, 2013 the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department advertised
for bids for Downtown Parking Lot Pavement Patching & Crack Repair; Project No.
2013-PL-1. There were 4 (four) potential bidders for the project.
This project will address pavement in the Chamber Lot (north side of Second Street, east
side of Walnut Street); Nathan Lot (south side of South Front Street, east side of Pine
Street); and the Dodge Lot (between First Street and Division Street, from Walnut Street
to Wheeler Avenue).
Discussion
One (1) bid was received and opened on July 17, 2013. The bid was submitted in
compliance with the contract, plans, and specifications. A summary of the bid is shown
below.
Bidder Exceptions Bid
J.I.L. Asphalt Paving Co. of Grand Island, NE None $30,844.00
The unit prices in the Engineer’s Estimate for the items “Asphalt Pavement Removal for
Patching, Partial Depth” and “Asphalt Pavement Removal for Patching, Full Depth” were
based on unit prices from work performed in 2012 on repair areas from a single lot. The
work under the 2013-PL-1 contract has more numerous, smaller, and irregular shaped
repair areas, resulting in losses in productivity. Also, the work under the 2013-PL-1
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 92 / 212
contract will occur in three lots and has comparatively higher traffic control and
mobilization costs.
A recent increase in construction activity nationally is considered as another cause for bid
prices being higher than anticipated.
The work under the 2013-PL-1 contract consists of repair of potholes that are currently a
hazard for motorists and pedestrians. If the planned repair work is delayed, more severe
pavement damage and greater repair costs are likely to occur. It is unlikely that re-
advertising the project will result in lower bids; therefore Public Works Administration
recommends that the contract be awarded to the sole bidder.
There are sufficient funds in Account No. 27010001-85213 to fund this project.
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 awarding a contract to J.I.L.
Asphalt Paving Co. of Grand Island, Nebraska in the amount of $30,844.00 for the
Downtown Parking Lot Pavement Patching & Crack Repair; Project No. 2013-PL-1.

Subject:Approving Use of Land Owned by the City of Grand
Island for Facilities to be Constructed on the Capital
Avenue - Webb Road to Broadwell Avenue Project and
North Interceptor Phase II, Part B; Sanitary Sewer
Project No. 2013-S-4
Item #’s:G-14
Presenter(s):John Collins, Public Works Director
Background
The City and the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) entered into an agreement,
which was executed by the City on May 24, 2011 by Resolution No. 2011-124, which
specified various duties and funding responsibilities for the Capital Avenue – Webb Road
to Broadwell Avenue project. The agreement required that NDOR Standards and
Specifications are to be used for design, construction inspection and quality control.
This project will consist of removal of the existing 24 foot wide asphalt roadway and
construction of new concrete pavement on Capital Avenue from Webb Road through
Broadwell Avenue. The new roadway will consist of five lane curbed concrete
pavement. Other improvements include construction of sidewalks and a concrete
hike/bike trail, updated street lighting, and construction of new storm sewer. A
pedestrian signal will be constructed approximately 1000 feet east of Webb Road to
provide for safe crossing for users of the hike/bike trail.
The project requires relocation of the overhead electric transmission line on the north side
of Capital Avenue. Acquisition of right-of-way and a utility easement is required.
This project will be coordinated with new sanitary sewer to be constructed under the
North Interceptor project. This area will be utilized by the sanitary sewer also.
Discussion
As per guidance from the Nebraska Department of Roads, a critical component of any
federal aid public transportation project is the land rights needed to facilitate the
construction, operation and maintenance of the project in accordance with Federal
Highway Administration 23 Code of Federal Regulations 1.23(a), which states “Interest
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 97 / 212
to be acquired. The State shall acquire rights-of-way of such nature and extent as are
adequate for the construction, operation, and maintenance of a project.” These rights
ensure that the facility that is developed with Federal Transportation funds has a legal
right to exist and cannot be displaced by a competing land use, and a return on the
investment will be realized.
Property that is currently owned by the City of Grand Island that was initially purchased
for a purpose other than for pedestrian, drainage and utility facilities cannot be readily
used for this project, without execution of the Declaration of Use document. The purpose
or use consistent with the requirements of the project need to be established and of record
by execution of a “Declaration as to Use” resolution. The duration the declaration is to
be in effect is a minimum of 25 years from completion of construction.
Once approved, a copy of the “Declaration as to Use” resolution must be placed on file at
the Register of Deeds office.
Approval of Environmental Documents was received on April 22, 2013. Completion of
design and approval for utility relocation is scheduled to occur this fall. Relocation of
utilities is planned to occur in 2014. Roadway construction is planned to occur in 2015.
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 use of a portion of land
owned by the City of Grand Island for facilities to be constructed on the Capital Avenue -
Webb Road to Broadwell Avenue Project.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the agreement.

Subject:Approving Change Order No. 1 for 5th Street Sanitary
Sewer Improvements; Project No. 2012-S-3
Item #’s:G-16
Presenter(s):John Collins, Public Works Director
Background
On October 4, 2012 the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department advertised
for bids for the 5th Street Sanitary Sewer Improvements; Project No. 2012-S-3.
The completed project provides a new sewer line added along the south side of 5th Street
from Eddy Street to the Vine Street. The sewer line size will be a twenty-one (21) inch
line with an approximate length of thirty seven hundred (3,700) feet.
The existing 15-inch vitrified clay sewer line that is located in the alley between 4th
Street and 5th Street from Eddy Street to Vine Street will be rehabilitated with a
combination of spot repairs and the installation of a Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) liner.
On August 28, 2012, Resolution 2012-360 awarded Project 2012-S-3, 5th Street Sanitary
Sewer Improvements to Van Kirk Brothers Contracting of Sutton, Nebraska, in the

Discussion
Change Order No. 1-1
Revealed by: Contractor
Initiated by: Engineer
Recommendation by: Wastewater Staff
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 107 / 212
The project, being in a matured residential area has not advanced as expected due to
variety of reasons. The primary reason(s) being dry soil conditions adding more
construction effort in removals and replacements, significant utility crossings (natural
gas, potable water and storm sewer), diligence maintaining homeowner’s services and
minimizing traffic impacts. The contractor will not meet the current contracted calendar
days. Change Order No. 1 is a no cost change order requesting the construction calendar
days be expanded by:
Section A; 5th street gravity sewer construction, forty-five (45) days.
Original contract completion date:August 15, 2013
Proposed contract completion date:September 30, 2013
Section B; Rehabilitation sewer between 4th and 5th street, thirty-one (31) days.
Original contract completion date:June 30, 2013
Proposed contract completion date:July 31, 2013
TOTAL COST FOR CO1-1 $ 0.00
TOTAL SUMMARY OF COSTS $ 0.00
Wastewater staff and the consulting engineer, Olsson Associates, have reviewed the
changed condition(s) and believe such changes will bring benefit to the overall finished
product.
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 authorization to proceed with

RE: 5TH Street Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Grand Island, NE
Dear Mr. Tustin,
Van Kirk Brothers Contracting would respectfully request an extension of calendar days
for the individual sections in the construction of 5th street gravity sewer (Section A), and
the rehabilitation of gravity sewer between 4th and 5th street (Section B).
Section A; 5th street gravity sewer construction we are requesting forty-five (45) days.
Original contract completion date:
Proposed contract completion date:
August 15, 2013
September 30, 2013
The project by nature is a deep bury gravity sewer within established neighborhoods in
which unfolds complexities we are continuing to endure, and surmount as the
construction progresses.
To complete the seeding, concrete sealing, and final area(s) cleanup by the new proposed
completion date we are highly hopeful weather will not hinder the progress of these
activities.
Section B; Rehabilitation of gravity sewer between 4th and 5th street we are requesting
thirty-one (31) days.
Original contract completion date:
Proposed contract completion date:
June 30, 2013
July 31,2013
The projects Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) liner installation is substantially complete. The
individual services tap connection(s), in which detail high installation time are our
primary reason for the calendar day extension request.
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 110 / 212
Van Kirk's project team is committed to safety, and in minimizing impacts to schedule,
costs, traffic, and the cities customer's services, and in doing such has impacted the
project acceleration.
Please let myself or Jim Van Kirk know if you have any questions or comments.

Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Public Works Staff in conjunction with the design engineer, Black & Veatch of Kansas
City, Missouri have jointly developed multi-year replacement planning stages for the City
of Grand Island’s large diameter gravity sanitary sewer interceptor network. The current
planned interceptor, entitled the “North Interceptor” will replace aged gravity sanitary
sewer, reduce or eliminate current sewer pumping station(s), and provide additional
capacity for existing and new growth areas of Grand Island.
The new North Interceptor route was developed to incorporate, and partner with other
utilities for the Capital Avenue Widening Project, and the new Headworks Pumping Station
Project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
A phased approach of constructing the North Interceptor was developed as follows:
Phase I - Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to 7th Street / Skypark Road
Phase II (Part A) - 7th Street / Skypark Road to Broadwell Avenue
Phase II (Part B) - Broadwell Avenue to Webb Road
Phase II (Part C) - Webb Road to Diers Avenue (Lift Station No. 19)
Leasehold Agreements are necessary for this project to be completed, which must be
approved by City Council.

Meeting:July 23, 2013
Subject:Request of the Nebraska State Fair, for a Modification to
the Conditional Use Permit granted on June 8, 2010 and
Revised on August 10, 2010, August 23, 2011, and June
26, 2012 for the Recreational Vehicle Park at 915 E.
Fonner Park Rd. This Modification is to Allow for the
Continued use of the Recreational Vehicle Park at the
Current Improvement Level for 2013 and Future State
Fairs
Item #’s: H-1
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
This is a request for approval of the existing site and existing improvements to be deemed
adequate for the purpose of the State Fair. There currently are 112 RV sites complete
with utility services and a concrete pad as required by the City Code. There are 40 sites
with utility connections but only rock pads and 59 sites with sewer and water connections
but no electrical connections and no concrete parking pads The construction of the
recreational vehicle camper park at Fonner Park, has been progressing for the past three
years. The installation of the phased improved parking pads was on schedule through
2012 with 112 improved parking pads. The original approval for the construction of the
recreational vehicle park identified a phased improvement plan for the parking pads;
52 -- 2011
59 – 2012
50 -- 2013
50 – 2014
The utility connections were originally intended to be completed to all of the sites during
the first phase but have been delayed. The last 59 sites have yet to be supplied with
electricity, but sewer and water are available to all of the sites within the park.
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 165 / 212
Discussion
The City code provides for campgrounds with the following conditions specified in the
code; 36-69 (B) 2. (a) Developer shall submit a diagram of the proposed camp ground
including a plot plan of the pads, landscaping plan, utility plan and interior street plan
with the application for a conditional use permit.
(b) A minimum of one toilet and one lavatory for each sex shall be
provided for each sex up to the first 25 sites. An additional toilet and lavatory for each
sex shall be provided for each additional 25 sites or fraction thereof not provided with
sewer connections.
(c) All RV pads shall be provided with a landscape buffer yard as
identified in the landscaping section of this code.
(d) Pads shall not be accessible from any public way.
Additionally section 36-6 Definitions, require Recreational Vehicle Pads: a space for
parking a recreational vehicle within a campground or other allowed place consisting of
no less than 800 square feet with a minimum width of 12 feet. Improvements included
within the pad space include 1 hard surfaced improved parking space of not less than 180
square feet (20x9 or 18x10) and 2 hard surfaced improved parallel tire pads of not less
than 2.5 feet by 24 feet.
Additional conditions placed on the Recreational Vehicle Camper Site were;
1) All interior roads and streets shall be improved to the design standards as
identified in section 36-96(G), permanent, dust-free like asphalt, concrete or paving
brick.
2) Annual inspection shall be conducted by the Building Department to
check compliance with City Codes, conditions imposed, and adopted building, plumbing,
electrical, and fire codes.
3) A 90 day time limit on the maximum allowable stay shall be imposed on
all recreational vehicles and campers in the campground. No RV shall be allowed to
remain longer than a 90 day consecutive period.
4) The size of any propane tank or other fuel container shall be limited to
original equipment supplied by the manufacture; no additional or external tanks shall be
permitted.
5) No skirting of any kind shall be allowed to be utilized with any
recreational vehicle or camper within the camp grounds.
The proposal is at this time to determine that the existing improvements are adequate for
current and future State Fair events. As the existing improvement do not fully comply
with the provisions of the City code the code would need to be amended to lower the
standard for recreational vehicle parks or provide some exceptions for park size or
duration of operation through- out the year.
Another alternative would be to extend the time frame committed to by the Fair and
allow additional time in which to bring the camp ground into full compliance.
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 166 / 212
Staff has suggested that the use be limited to the State Fair only for spaces not in
compliance with the required improvements and conditions established by the City
Council. Once the required improvements are completed it would appear appropriate to
allow for additional use of the facility through out the year as the park would be
compliant with the established regulations and conditions.
I believe most of the spaces within the State Fair RV Park have been utilized in the past
three years and temporary measures have been employed to provide electrical service and
parking pad. The number of spaces appears to be adequate for now and into the future. I
also believe the required improvements for utilities and parking pads are reasonable and
provide a minimum standard comparable with other uses identified in the City code.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the request and amend the city code to modify the standards , finding
that the proposed application is and will continue to be in conformance 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 to modify the conditional use permit by extending the time frame for
completion of the required improved parking pads for the entire facility by the end of the
calendar year 2015 and allow for current and continued use finding that the proposed use
and application promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community,
protect property against blight and depreciation, and is generally harmonious with the
surrounding neighborhood.
Sample Motion
A motion to approve the request to modify the conditional use permit and allow for an
extension for the completion of the required parking pads to the end of the year 2015,
with the conditions identified in the staff memorandum and presented at the City Council
meeting and finding that the application conforms to the purpose of the zoning
regulations.

#2013-247 - Approving Advertising Contract with the Grand
Island Independent
Staff Contact: Brenda Sutherland
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 168 / 212
Council Agenda Memo
From:Brenda Sutherland, Human Resources Director
Meeting:July 23, 2013
Subject:Approving Contract with Grand Island Independent for
Newspaper Advertising
Item #’s:I-1
Presenter(s):Brenda Sutherland, Human Resources Director
Background
The City of Grand Island has entered into contracts with the Grand Island Independent
for newspaper advertising in the past. The contracts cover advertising for all departments
in the City. Advertising that falls under the heading of “legals” is handled separately as
that rate is defined by State bid. The contract with the Independent represents the
negotiated line rate for all advertising done in the Independent with the exception of
legals. Even though the legals fall under a different rate structure as negotiated under the
state contract, the City is given credit towards its commitment for advertising.
The City Council was presented this contract on July 9, 2013 and a motion to approve
failed. I take responsibility for not clearly communicating the outcome of no negotiated
pricing for the City. A call to the Independent to confirm our new pricing structure with
no advertising contract in place will nearly double the price the City is currently paying
for all advertising with the exception of legals. I believe that is important information for
the Council to consider before making a final decision and therefore the proposed
contract is being brought back for further consideration.
Discussion
This contract is a pricing contract only and does not impact the budgeted amount of
advertising, only the rate we are charged. 2012 fiscal year advertising totaled $69,007 and
this fiscal year, on a year-to-date basis, totals $57,223.
The last contract was for a commitment of $30,000. The City has exceeded that amount
and therefore it seems prudent to increase the amount of the contract to take advantage of
the best pricing possible. The contract being proposed this year is for a $40,000
commitment. This amount is conservative and falls below our current usage. However,
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 169 / 212
should different avenues be used for advertising or a cutback in spending occur, we
would then be charged the rate that was appropriate for the actual level of usage.
This contract represents negotiated rate pricing. The City will not simply send a check to
the Independent for $40,000. Instead, we will pay according to our usage each month.
Should our spending fall below the $40,000 rate, our negotiated amount will be adjusted
to the $30,000 rate. What we are trying to accomplish with a contract is simply
negotiated pricing rather than paying the same amount that anyone walking in off the
street would pay. Without a contract, that is the position the City will be in.
The contract is attached and the rates are listed. The daily rate has increased from $11.70
to $11.87 and the Sunday rate increased from $11.87 to $12.10. The daily retail rate,
which is the rate the City would pay with no contract is place, has increased from $15.16
to $15.66 and the Sunday retail rate has increased from $16.01 to $16.56.
As this contract exceeds $20,000, City procurement rules would require the City
advertise a RFP or use the bid process to obtain quotes for service. The Council passed
Resolution 2011-254 that named the Grand Island Independent as a sole source provider
and therefore there were no other quotes obtained. The Grand Island Independent is our
only local daily paper. The City does use other local weekly papers and this would not
prohibit that practice.
In conclusion, without a contract, the City will pay full price advertising rates and the
City’s advertising expense will increase substantially.
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
I recommend that the advertising contract with the Grand Island Independent be
approved.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the advertising contract with the Grand Island Independent.

3. Creation of District: Improvements. The proposed work to be performed and specific
improvement to be made or maintained within the proposed district shall include:
(A) Retention and Recruitment. Downtown Business District #13 will encourage business
retention and recruitment through the planning and implementation of Downtown
promotions, continued Main Street commitments and downtown investments to attract the
attention of people looking for vibrant and welcoming places to dine, shop, live, work and
play.
Funds have been allocated for each of the five years for Retention and Recruitment, Main
Street Promotions, Main Street Contract; and funding in years 1-3 for the research and
development of a Downtown Brand/Identity and a Revolving Loan Fund.
(i)The development of any public activities and promotion of public events, including the
management and promotion and advocacy of retail trade activities or other
promotional activities, in the district area, including, but not limited to, plans,
creation, development, equipment, supplies, materials, services, management, staff,
maintenance and improvement of communication and image building events and
activities, such as holiday events, community events, media activities, newsletters,
seasonal and special events and parades and other activities for the benefit of the
district.
(B) Downtown Beautification. The beautification component of the Downtown Business
District #13 budget is comprised of physical improvements to the District. The Board,
through a series of informal and formal discussion with downtown property owners,
identified a need to augment the existing physical elements in the downtown. By increasing
artistic elements, it is believed the personality of the downtown will be strengthened and a
sense of place developed. A consistent approach to adding these artistic elements will
enhance the uniqueness of downtown and, at the same time, create a pleasant setting to
complement the various activities held in the downtown. These physical improvements
include, but are not limited to, Kaufmann Cummings Park, planters, murals, sculptures, trees
and grates, signs and banners, benches, streetscape, and trash containers.
(i)Improvement of any public place or facility in the district area, including landscaping,
physical improvements for decoration or security purposes, and plantings, including
but not limited to, plans, creation, development, equipment, supplies, materials,
services, management, staff, maintenance, improvement and associated activities of
streetscape and alleyway improvements
(ii)Construction or installation of sidewalks, parks, meeting and display facilities, lighting,
benches or other seating furniture, sculptures, trash receptacles, shelters, fountains,
and any useful or necessary public improvements, including, but not limited to plans,
creation, development, equipment, supplies, materials, services, management, staff,
maintenance, improvement, and associated activities of street side and other public
area projects;
(iii)Maintenance, repair, and reconstruction of any improvement’s or facilities authorized by
the Business Improvement District Act.
-2-
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 179 / 212
(C) Implementation and Maintenance: The talent and resources vested in this district rely upon
the successful completion of each project and careful maintenance of the downtown area to
ensure the best possible results from the investments of downtown stakeholders, including
this District. To accomplish the duties incumbent upon this District in all areas of work
described herein, the district may recruit volunteers or secure labor and services for hire:
(i)The district may employ or contract for personnel for any improvement program under
the act, and providing for any service as may be necessary or proper to carry out the
purposes of the act, including, but not limited to, activities, projects, staff, consulting
services, materials, equipment, supplies, and services necessary or convenient for the
management of the affairs of the business improvement district, to include budget
development and supervision, representation of the interests of the district to public
and private entities, research, development, travel, training, development and
implementation of business and residential recruitment and retention projects,
downtown beautification projects and activities which contribute to regaining,
sustaining or improving the economic health and viability of the district and the
implementation of the goals and objectives of the Business Improvement Board.
(ii)Any other project or undertaking for the betterment of the public facilities in the district
area, whether the project be capital or noncapital in nature.
4. Term, Annual Budget and Limitations. The proposed district shall become effective on
October 1, 2013 for a period of five years to terminate on September 30, 2018. The
estimated total annual budget for costs and expenses of the work to be performed within such
district during the first year totals $192,637, of which $102,637 will be carried over from
fiscal year 2013 and; provided that the maximum amount of the first year’s annual
assessment for the district shall not exceed $90,000.
In the subsequent four years, the maximum amount of annual assessment and annual budget
for the district will not exceed the first year maximum assessment and budget amounts plus
an annual increase equal to the amount of the Consumer Price Index or 3%, whichever is
less. The assessments levied for the first year shall not exceed $90,000. The district may
pursue additional funding (without increasing the district assessments) to complete the
amounts for costs and expenses included in the budget. The specific improvements for the
first year are listed for purposes of estimating the costs and expenses of performing the
proposed work and improvements. Although the district is proposed for a five-year period,
the City Council, after public hearing, shall approve an annual budget for specific
improvements in each succeeding year consistent with the ordinance creating the district.
The City Council retains the authority to change, modify and remove proposed
improvements; however, the proposed improvements cannot exceed the scope of
improvements and the annual assessment cannot exceed the maximum amounts of the annual
assessment as provided by the ordinance creating the district.
-3-
5. Method of Assessment. The proposed district shall receive funding from special
assessments based upon the special benefits to the property as fairly and equitably assessed
by the City Council. The assessments shall be levied annually as a percentage of assessed
valuation of taxable property within the district. Based upon the recommendation of the
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 180 / 212
Downtown Business District Board, owner-occupied residential properties within the district
will be assessed at 70% of assessed valuation based on their primary benefit from the
downtown beautification and maintenance programs. Owners of property exempt from ad
valorem taxes are encouraged to support District activities, promotions, and improvements
but property exempt from ad valorem taxes will not be subject to special assessment for this
Business Improvement District. Property owned by the Federal Government, the State of
Nebraska and political subdivisions thereof shall not be subject to special assessment for this
Business Improvement District. For mixed use properties that combine owner-occupied
residential and other uses, the property owner may submit evidence supporting a pro-rated
split of the assessed value (between owner-occupied residential and other uses) for the City
Council to consider when sitting as a Board of Equalization.
6.Notice. A copy of this resolution of intention shall be published one time in the Grand
Island Independent, and a copy shall be mailed to each owner of taxable property as shown
by the latest tax rolls of the Hall County Treasurer.
7.Boundary Lines. Commonly owned properties that are intersected by a boundary line
establishing the district shall be considered as entirely within the district unless otherwise
determined by the City Council when sitting as a Board of Equalization.
8.Enforcement. The special assessments provided herein shall be a lien on the property
assessed superior and prior to all other liens except general taxes and other special
assessments which shall be of equal priority. Liens for special assessments may be
foreclosed and are subject to interest at the statutory rate when payment of the assessment is
delinquent as provided by law. No special assessment made hereunder shall be void for any
irregularity, defect, error or informality in procedure, in levy or equalization thereof.

#2013-249 - Consideration of Approving Resolution of Intent to
Create Second Street Business Improvement District 2013
Staff Contact: Marco Floreani
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 182 / 212
Council Agenda Memo
From:Marco Floreani, Community Development Administrator
Meeting:July 23, 2013
Subject:Approving Resolution of Intent to create Second Street
Business Improvement District 2013 for One Year
Item #’s:I-3
Presenter(s):Marco Floreani, Community Development Administrator
Background
At the City Council Meeting of June 11, 2013, the Council adopted a resolution defining
the boundaries for the Second Street Business Improvement District 2013, from 2nd and
Eddy Street to 2nd and Broadwell Street. The Resolution also provided for the formation
of the Second Street Business Improvement District 2013 Board and the appointment of
Bob Dodendorf, Phil Maltzahn, Bill Raile, Cheryl Nietfeldt, Dave Schaffer, Derek Apfel,
Fred Groenke, John Folsom, and Dr. Ryan Waind.
The goals include the continued redevelopment of Second Street into an appealing
corridor and entrance into Grand Island. State statute 19-4021, R.R.S. 1943, allows for
the creation and implementation of a plan for improving the general architectural design
of the public areas within the districts, the development of any public activities and
promotion of public events, including the management and promotion and advocacy of
retail trade activities or other promotional activities, and employing or contracting for
personnel for any improvement program under the act. Property owners in this area are
organizing their efforts to continue the street improvements that are now evident along
the southernmost portions of Second Street, including pedestrian lightning, landscaping,
and sidewalks.
The Regional Planning Commission, at a meeting on July 10, 2013 reviewed the
boundaries, and purposes of the Business Improvement District and by a unanimous vote
of the 9 members present recommended the City Council approve the creation of the
District.
The Second Street BID board 2013 met on July 16, 2013 and voted unanimously to
formally recommend that the City Council create the one-year District. The Board
reviewed proposed activities in the District and developed a budget for the entire 1- year
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 183 / 212
life of the District. Notification will then be mailed to every property owner in the
District as well as published in the Grand Island Independent.
Discussion
This approval of a resolution of intent to create Second Street Business Improvement
District 2014, South Locust Street from 2nd and Eddy Street to 2nd and Broadwell Street.
The final step will be a period for the property owners in the district to protest the
formation of the BID. City Council will then hold a public hearing on August 13, 2013
to create the district. After the hearing Council may pass an ordinance to establish the
district.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to Approve resolution of intent to create Second Street BID 2013
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation

Item #’s:I-4
Presenter(s):Marco Floreani, Community Development Administrator
Background
At the City Council Meeting of June 11, 2013 the Council adopted a resolution defining
the boundaries for the Fonner Park Business Improvement District 2013, South Locust
Street from Stolley Park Road to Fonner Park Road. The Resolution also provided for
the formation of the Fonner Park Business Improvement District 2013 Board and the
appointment of Hugh Miner, Roy Nenemen, Bennett Chamness, Buzz Douhit, James
Goodman, Kris Nolan Brown, and Scott Zana.
The goals include the continued redevelopment of South Locust into an appealing
corridor and entrance into Grand Island. State statute 19-4021, R.R.S. 1943, allows for
the creation and implementation of a plan for improving the general architectural design
of the public areas within the districts, the development of any public activities and
promotion of public events, including the management and promotion and advocacy of
retail trade activities or other promotional activities, and employing or contracting for
personnel for any improvement program under the act. Property owners in this area are
organizing their efforts to continue the street improvements that are now evident along
the portions of South Locust Street, including pedestrian lightning, landscaping, and
sidewalks.
The Regional Planning Commission, at a meeting on July 10, 2013 reviewed the
boundaries, and purposes of the Business Improvement District and by a unanimous vote
of the 9 members present recommended the City Council approve the creation of the
District.
The Fonner Park BID 2013 board met on July 10, 2013 and voted unanimously to
formally recommend that the City Council create the three-year District. The Board
reviewed proposed activities in the District and developed a budget for the entire 3 year
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 192 / 212
life of the District. Notification will then be mailed to every property owner in the
District as well as published in the Grand Island Independent.
Discussion
This approval of a resolution of intent to create Fonner Park Street Business
Improvement District 2013, South Locust Street from Stolley Park Road to Fonner Park
Road. The final step will be a period for the property owners in the district to protest the
formation of the BID. City Council will then hold a public hearing on August 13, 2013
to create the district. After the hearing Council may pass an ordinance to establish the
district.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:

2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue

Council Agenda Memo
From:Marco Floreani, Community Development Administrator
Meeting:July 23, 2013
Subject:Approving Acceptance of Grand Island as U.S. Dept. of
Housing and Urban Development Entitlement Grantee
Item #’s:I-6
Presenter(s):Marco Floreani, Community Development Administrator
Background
In a letter addressed to Mayor Vavricek, dated June 3, 2013, the City of Grand Island was
identified as a potential entitlement grantee for the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)
in fiscal year 2015. As a Metropolitan Statistical Area (metropolitan cities with
populations over 50,000), Grand Island has the opportunity to accept status as an
entitlement grantee for the 2015 fiscal year or defer status.
Discussion
The City of Grand Island has two options in regards to CDBG funding, accept status as
an entitlement grantee or defer status as an entitlement program grantee and continue
participating through the State CDBG program. The City must notify HUD, in writing,
by September 7, 2013 with intentions to accept or defer entitlement status. Should the
City choose to accept, the letter to HUD must provide the start date for the City’s CDBG
program. City staff recommends that the program year coincide with the City’s fiscal
year of October 1st 2014. The program year will be used to set submission dates for the
required planning and reporting documents and set timelines for the expenditure of
CDBG funds. The CDBG funding the City will receive will vary depending on the
federal budget approved by Congress. HUD’s 2014 entitlement funding estimate for
Grand Island is $366,214.00.
As an entitlement community, the City of Grand Island would receive funds directly from
HUD on an annual formula basis. As an entitlement grantee, the City would report
directly to HUD and be responsible for all grant administration. The entitlement program
funds do not require a local match for CDBG funds, whereas the Nebraska Department of
Grand Island Council Session - 7/23/2013 Page 209 / 212
Economic Development Program CDBG funds typically requires a local match of at least
25 percent.
After notifying HUD of the City’s intention to participate, Grand Island must develop and
submit a Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan acts as the City’s comprehensive
planning document under the CDBG program. The Consolidated Plan must be received
by the Omaha HUD field office 45 days prior to the program year start date of October 1,
2014. In addition to the Consolidated Plan, the City will also develop and follow a
detailed citizen participation plan. The plan should provide opportunities for citizens to
participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan and the way CDBG funds are
used in the community.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve and accept status as an HUD entitlement grantee and authorize the
Mayor to sign all related documents.
2.Refer the issue to a Committee.
3.Postpone the issue to a later date.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that Council approves and accepts status for Grand
Island as an HUD entitlement grantee and authorize the Mayor to sign all related
documents
Sample Motion
Move to approve status for Grand Island as an HUD entitlement grantee and authorize the
Mayor to sign all related documents.
