Declared Legislative Intent
It is hereby declared to be the intent and purpose of the city council in adopting
and administering the provisions of this chapter:
(A)To express the community sentiment that the control of availability of alcoholic
liquor to the public in general and to minors in particular promotes the public
health, safety, and welfare;

careful control and regulation of the sale and distribution thereof; and
(C)To ensure that the number of retail outlets and the manner in which they are
operated is such that they can be adequately policed by local law enforcement

Supplemental Report
Date, Time: Thu Apr 03 10:11:12 CDT 2014
Reporting Officer: Vitera
Unit- CID
Elsa Vasquez is applying for a Class I Individual liquor license for the
La Zona Rosa Nightclub. According to Elsa's application, she has lived in
Grand Island since at least 1998, and she has no criminal convictions.
Elsa is not borrowing any money from any source to establish and/or
operate the business, no one else will be sharing in the profits, and
none of the furniture, fixtures, or equipment for the nightclub will be
owned by anyone else. Elsa provided documentation with her application
indicating that she is a Naturalized U.S. Citizen. Elsa is leasing the
building from Delmi Rodriguez, and Elsa plans on opening the business on
May 1st.
I checked Elsa through Spillman and NCJIS and did not locate any
convictions. I also checked Elsa through a law enforcement-only database
and found that she has had four judgments against her (not verified). I
did a general Internet search on Elsa but could not pinpoint anything. On
4/7/14, I contacted Elsa by telephone. We agreed to meet at La Zona Rosa
on 4/8/14 at 1500 hours. Investigator Fiala with NSP and I met with Elsa
at the agreed upon time and location. Elsa brought her daughter (Lucia
Ortega) to translate. Elsa also invited Delmi Rodriguez who was present
for some of the meeting.
Investigator Fiala had some standard questions he asked Elsa, and then I
asked some questions about her application. Delmi was asked to leave
while we spoke to Elsa. One of the first things I noticed on Elsa's
application is that she listed her contact e-mail address as
"Delmi41@hotmail.com." I asked Elsa if she has her own e-mail address.
She advised that she does, however, she just got it a couple of weeks
ago. I had a hard time determining if she had her own e-mail address
prior to filling out the application.
I also asked Elsa about the fact that she had marked on her application
that she isn't borrowing any money to run the business, and none of the
Grand Island Council Session - 5/13/2014 Page 32 / 133
furniture, fixture or equipment will be owned by someone else. Elsa
advised that she is attempting to borrow $22,000 from Wells Fargo. She
didn't apply for the loan until after the application was filled out,
however, she knew prior to the submission of the application that she
would need a loan. Elsa anticipates about $5,000 of the total amount of
the loan will be used for the bar business. The rest of the money will be
used to pay other bills. Elsa also acknowledged that Delmi owns the
furniture, fixtures, and equipment inside the building.
I asked Elsa to explain why the application was filled out incorrectly.
She advised that she and Delmi met with Thomas Wagoner (attorney listed
on application) who helped with the application. Elsa said Thomas went
over the application with them line-by-line, but Delmi answered the
questions. The answers make perfect sense considering that Delmi owns the
building and the contents. Elsa also advised that Delmi paid Thomas
Wagoner for helping with the application. Elsa didn't know if Delmi paid
by cash, check, or credit card.
Investigator Fiala and I asked Elsa more about her experience and ideas
about the bar business. Elsa said she has never worked in a bar or had
anything to do with the serving or selling of alcohol. Elsa said she had
never been inside La Zona Rosa when Delmi was running it. Elsa said she
plans on continuing to work at JBS and be present all the time at the
nightclub which she said will be open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night
from approximately 9 PM until 1 AM. She plans on having about seven
employees who will be comprised of some family members. She also plans to
have security but hasn't checked into hiring anyone. Elsa said that Delmi
is going to "orientate" her about the bar business. When asked what that
means, Elsa said Delmi will help her understand how to treat the
customers and handle problems. Elsa also advised that when Delmi asked
her about leasing the building and opening up the La Zona Rosa, Delmi
asked her if she is a U.S. Citizen and has a clean record. Delmi also
told Elsa that she would help her out anyway she could.
Investigator Fiala and I told Elsa about some of the problems that were
encountered at La Zona Rosa while Delmi was part of the business. We also
informed her about all the liquor laws she will need to be familiar with
along with the possibility of being held accountable administratively,
civilly, and criminally for violations of the laws. Elsa was astounded.
She said she had no idea regarding the problems at the old La Zona Rosa,
all the laws she is going to have to know, or the liability issues
surrounding the business. Elsa said she was going to withdraw her
application.
Prior to meeting with Elsa, I had done some research on Delmi Rodriguez.
Through communication with ICE, I learned that Delmi is not individually
eligible to receive a liquor license due to her immigration status.
All in all, it seems to be fairly clear to me that Delmi is using Elsa to
get a liquor license at La Zona Rosa since she can't. Delmi's e-mail
address is listed as contact information for the applicant. According to
Elsa, Delmi was present with the attorney when the application was filled
out, and Delmi answered the questions and paid the attorney. Delmi also
made sure that Elsa is a U.S. Citizen and has a clean record. With the
Grand Island Council Session - 5/13/2014 Page 33 / 133
way some of the questions on the application were answered (loan & items
in the building), this looks like Delmi's application with Elsa's name on
it. The application is false according to the Nebraska Liquor Control Act
(Part II Chapter 2 Section 010.01), and the Grand Island Police
Department recommends that the city council not give local approval to
this license.

aforementioned Public Hearing.
Motion by Gericke, second by Minton to approve.
Discussion was held concerning a light on the tower. City Attorney Bob Sivick encouraged
Council to follow the FAA rules and not require this tower to be lit.
Motion by Gilbert, second by Haase to amend the motion to require this tower to be lit in

RESOLUTION:
#2014-99 - Consideration of Approving Request from the YMCA for Permission to Use City
Streets, Hike/Bike Trail, and State Highway for a State Fair Marathon/Half Marathon/5K Race.
City Administrator Mary Lou Brown reported that the YMCA in cooperation with the State Fair
were expanding the Bill Seymour one half marathon to a full marathon and were seeking Council
approval and notice to the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) for the marathon route. State
Statute 39-1359 requires the City Council to approve the route and for the City to inform the
NDOR that the route had approval if it closed or blocked any part of a State highway. Staff
recommended approval.
Race Director Jeff Doose representing the YMCA explained the race course. Jay Huston
representing Ryder, Rosacker, McCue and Huston, liability insurance carrier for the city,
explained the liability exposure to the city. He recommended the sponsors furnish the city with
their own liability insurance, but stated it was unlikely the sponsors would be able to supply
enough coverage. He did not know at this time what the extra insurance premium would be to the
city.
Shaun Schleif with the Nebraska State Fair stated this race would be the flattest and fastest
course in the nation. They were working on this race being certified and a possible qualifier for
the Boston Marathon.
Motion by Haase, second by Paulick to approve Resolution #2014-99.

Discussion was held regarding the risk and managing events like this. Police Chief Lamken
commented on the public safety plans set up for this race with officers controlling traffic
intersections. Mentioned was extra cost to the city for Police Department overtime, rent of traffic
cones, and liability insurance.
Motion by Gilbert, second by Haase to amend the motion so that the costs incurred by the City
Departments would be billed back to the event sponsors. Upon roll call vote, Councilmembers
Minton, Stelk, Gericke, Gilbert, Nickerson, Hehnke, Haase, and Donaldson voted aye.
Councilmembers Paulick and Mann voted no. Motion adopted.

MINUTES OF CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
May 6, 2014
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a Study Session of the City Council of the City of Grand
Island, Nebraska was conducted in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 100 East First Street, on
May 6, 2014. Notice of the meeting was given in the Grand Island Independent on April 30,
2014.
Mayor Jay Vavricek called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The following Councilmembers
were present: Vaughn Minton, Mike Paulick, Mark Stelk, John Gericke, Mitch Nickerson, Julie
Hehnke, Chuck Haase, and Linna Dee Donaldson. Councilmembers Peg Gilbert and Kent Mann
were absent. The following City Officials were present: City Administrator Mary Lou Brown,
City Clerk RaNae Edwards, City Attorney Robert Sivick, City Treasurer and Finance Director
Jaye Monter, and City Engineer and Public Works Director John Collins.
The PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE was said.
Mayor Vavricek introduced Community Youth Council member John Albers.
PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS:
Proclamation “Tourism Recognition Month” May 2014. Mayor Vavricek proclaimed the month
of May 2014 as “Tourism Recognition Month”. Convention & Visitors Bureau Executive
Director Brad Mellema was present to receive the proclamation and showed a two minute video
of highlights in Grand Island.
SPECIAL ITEMS:
Continued Discussion of City Space Needs. City Administrator Mary Lou Brown stated we were
continuing the discussion of the space study needs and introduced Emergency Management
Director Jon Rosenlund who explained the need for an alternate 911 center. He stated the current
alternate 911 center equipment was stored in a closet at Fire Station #1 and takes 30-45 minutes
to mobilize the equipment. The equipment differed from the main center with regards to radios,
phones, etc. and was difficult to test and exercise regularly.
Mr. Rosenlund explained the differences of the current alternate location and the main location at
City Hall. The benefits of a full alternate location would maintain the obligation for continuity of
operations and provide a geo-diverse 911 system for redundancy. A full alternate location would
provide full capabilities for 911 functions and would allow for expanded capacity in a disaster.
The following options were presented:
911 Option A: establish a new, main 911 center. Install a smaller alternate 911 center in City
Hall.
Pros:Cons:
Solves both alternate 911 and EOC needs.Most expensive construction costs.
Provides new 911 with long term potential.Long timeline.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/13/2014 Page 55 / 133
Page 2, City Council Study Session, May 6, 2014
Provides City Hall with room to move staff.Most complex planning.
Possibility of higher ongoing costs for
facility.
911 Option B: establish new, improved alternate 911 location.
Pros:Cons:
Provides fully functional alternate 911.Does not provide long-term solution to
current 911.
Moderate cost for renovation/construction.May not solve alternate EOC issues.
Lower ongoing costs for facility than Option A.
911 Option C: improve capabilities of current alternate 911 location.
Pros:Cons:
Cheapest of all options.May not accommodate necessary functions.
Lowest ongoing costs.May not be sufficient in an event.
Quickest immediate impact.No solution to alternate EOC.
Mr. Rosenlund presented the following costs and challenges: new radio system & geo-diverse
911 system; improved network for Spillman; associated equipment (recorder, NAWAS,
printers/copier, fax, etc.); new alarm monitor equipment; purchase/move furniture; and increases
in annual operational budget (phone lines, network connectivity, Internet Service Provider, etc.).
Fire Chief Cory Schmidt presented the needs for replacing Fire Station #2. Chief Schmidt stated
the station was opened in 1957 and currently was the busiest fire station in Grand Island. In 2013
they responded to 1,847 calls which were 41% of all calls. The station was staffed by 5 to 6
Grand Island Fire Department personnel with two ambulances and a fire engine. This station also
served as a tornado shelter for the surrounding area.
Issues with the current station were that apparatus must be backed in off Boradwell Avenue
which required spotters to block traffic placing personnel in a dangerous situation. Traffic backs
up in front of the station from 5 Points. The larger apparatus were harder to back into the station.
The diverse work force and student riders along with dormitory style sleeping quarters with lack
of privacy were mentioned.
Issues with the current station were the increased maintenance costs over the past few years.
Also mentioned was the poor parking access off the alley and a history of vehicle break-ins. The
future needs were: larger truck bay; larger/dedicated classroom; private sleeping quarters;
male/female locker rooms; room for additional apparatus/crews; and increased need for airport
support and response.
Chief Schmidt presented two options for 911/Fire: 1) build new fire station #2 or 2) build joint
facility for both 911 center and fire.
Public Works Director John Collins reported the next step was for the city to go out for Request
for Qualifications (RFQ) to research current practices, assess the City’s needs, develop several
concepts with rough estimates, produce plans and specifications, identify potential locations, and
oversee construction.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/13/2014 Page 56 / 133
Page 3, City Council Study Session, May 6, 2014
Robert Meyer, 648 E. Memorial Drive, former firefighter with the City of Grand Island,
commented on the June 1980 tornado and spoke of the importance of having a backup 911
system. He also spoke regarding the need for a new Fire Station #2.
Discussion was held concerning funding the current 911 center and money received from the
State of Nebraska Civil Defense to help build the current location at city hall. Mr. Rosenlund
stated the agreement was still in effect and would continue even if the 911 center moved to a
different area.
Annually, land line phones collected $250,000 per year in Revenue Fund 215. Revenue Fund
216 collected about $115,000 used to help fund two employees. Location of a new fire station
was discussed. Mr. Roselund stated his needs would ideally place a 911 center outside of the
flood plain and away from the railroads. There would still be a 911 center in city hall for
redundancy. Mayor Vavricek stated any decision with regards to relocating the 911 center would
have to have the support from the County as they pay for half the 911 center budget.
Discussion was held regarding a new facility and the structure design. Mr. Rosenlund stated the
911 center did not need to be in a basement. City Administrator Mary Lou Brown stated this was
just the first step in looking at a new facility and further discussions would be held concerning
how it would be paid for. Current debt service was mentioned with some bonds ending in the
next few years.
Mr. Rosenlund explained the Interlocal Agreement with Hall County and funding for which the
county was responsible. Currently the city provided the space and the equipment was owned
50/50 between the city and county. There were very few state funds available for 911 centers.
Multi-county alternate location was mentioned.
Ms. Brown stated the next step would be to go forward with the RFQ process.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:22 p.m.

Background
The Police Department has been a member of the Central Nebraska Drug and Safe Streets
Task Force for several years. The City acts as the fiscal agent for a portion of the funds
used by the Task Force to include off site facility maintenance, vehicle leases and
operational funds. The 2014 HIDTA award, 14HD06, is for $55,442.00 and does not

Discussion
The Grand Island Police Department has been a participating member of the regional
HIDTA, Central Nebraska Drug and Safe Streets Task Force for several years. The Task
Force serves a valuable role in the investigation and prosecution of drug offenders and
violent criminals. The HIDTA designation provides Federal funding for the investigative
operations of the Task Force.
The City serves as the fiscal agent for part of the task force funding that supports the
operation and maintenance of the offsite facility, vehicle and cell phone use, and
operational funds that are used to buy drugs/weapons and pay informants. The 2014
HIDTA award to the Task Force is $55,442.00. Approval and acceptance of the funding
will support the Task Force during the year. The funding does not require a local match.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Chief Steven Lamken, Police Department
Meeting:May 13, 2014
Subject:Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)
2014
Item #’s:G-4
Presenter(s):Steve Lamken, Chief of Police
Background
The Grand Island Police Department and Hall County Sheriff’s Department are eligible
to receive Justice Assistance Grant money from the U.S. Department of Justice under the
JAG offering in 2014. The total award for Grand Island-Hall County is in the amount of
$26,312.00. The monies may be spent over a three year period. The Grand Island Police
Department will serve as the fiscal agency on this grant.
The Hall County Sheriff’s Department is a disparate agency and will receive twenty five
percent of the award totals. The grant will be shared; $6,578 to Hall County and $19,734
to the City of Grand Island.
The Department of Justice requires that recipient agencies identify how the funds will be
used. The Police Department will use the funds to support our mobile video and
computing systems in our patrol fleet as we have done for several years.
Discussion
There is a requirement that the applicant agency (Grand Island Police Department) make
the grant application available for review by the governing body.
There is a federal mandate that requires a public hearing regarding the application
process and disbursement of the JAG funds. This hearing fulfills the federal mandate.
The grant requires an MOU between the applicant (Grand Island) and any disparate
agencies (Hall County). By definition, Hall County is a disparate agency eligible for
funds.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/13/2014 Page 69 / 133
Alternatives

The Council may:
1.Approve the application and suggested disbursement of JAG funds and the

Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the application and suggested

Refurbishment - Platte Generating Station
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 5/13/2014 Page 99 / 133
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:May 13, 2014
Subject: Boiler Feed Pump Motor Refurbishment – Platte Generating
Station
Item #’s:G-11
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Platte Generating Station has two boiler feed pumps which pump treated water to the
boiler for steam production. Each pump provides 100% capacity, which allows for one
pump to provide full load operation, with the second pump providing a reliable backup.
These high pressure pumps are a critical component in the operation of the plant. The 1B
boiler feed pump motor has been in service since 1997 and recently failed while starting,
leaving the plant without a reliable backup. Should any problem develop with the
operation of the 1A boiler feed pump, Platte Generating Station will not be able to
operate. Based on motor inspection results, specifications were developed by plant staff
for motor refurbishment and issued in accordance with City purchasing procedures.
Discussion
The specifications for the Boiler Feed Motor Refurbishment were advertised and issued
for bid in accordance with the City Purchasing Code. Bids were publicly opened on
April 29, 2014. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $100,000.00.
Bidder Bid Price
EmTech, Inc., Grand Junction, CO $ 49,252.75
Illinois Electric Works, Granite City, IL $ 58,850.00
Hupp Electric Motors, Cedar Rapids, IA $ 59,724.00
Integrated Power Services, Denver, CO $ 67,429.39
Siemens, Kansas City, MO $ 79,917.23
Bids were reviewed by plant staff, and the low bid from EmTech, Inc., is compliant with
specifications and is less than the engineer’s estimate.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/13/2014 Page 100 / 133

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

Subject:Utilities Management System –
Mainsaver Change Order #2
Item #’s:G-13
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Utilities Department utilizes an accounting program on the AS400 computer for
detailed accounting of its operations. This program was developed by City information
technology staff in the 1980s and allows for cost tracking on work activities, based on
Federal Electric Regulatory Commission (FERC) account codes that are mandated for
public utilities. The Department also utilizes third party software systems for purchase
orders, inventory, and for scheduling some work activities or preventive maintenance.
None of these systems are integrated and, along with payroll and accounts payable,
require that information be transferred or entered manually and/or multiple times.
As the use of the AS400 computer is being phased out due to obsolescence, staff from the
Utilities and Finance Departments developed a Request for Proposals to replace the
above systems with an integrated system that would incorporate work and asset
management, purchasing, and accounting for the Utilities Department, and also allow
electronic transfer of information for payroll and accounts payable to the City’s MUNIS
business accounting system. In addition to supplying the software system, the scope of
the specifications included transfer of the information of the existing systems to the new
system, and support services for both the new system integration and as required on an
ongoing basis.
On September 24, 2013, the Department recommended that the proposal from Mainsaver
Software be accepted for the Utilities Management System. The proposal from
Mainsaver included a detailed estimated activity pricing breakdown which will be billed
at actual cost, for a not-to-exceed total price of $209,320. This not-to-exceed cost does
not include travel expenses, which will also be billed at actual cost. The cost of the new
software system and in-house implementation expenses will be funded by the Utilities
Enterprise Funds.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/13/2014 Page 111 / 133
Discussion
The new management system is currently being integrated into use by Mainsaver and
Department staff. During the integration process, various changes unique to the City’s
system were recommended by Department staff to Mainsaver to accommodate City or
Department requirements or methods, requiring special programming that was not
included in the original contract. In many cases, these changes were to allow greater ease
of use or acceptance by Department employees, which should promote a smoother
transition and favorable long-term benefits from the system to Department operations.
The detailed changes and cost breakdowns are provided in the attached contract change
order. This change order, along with the previously approved Change Order #1, will
result in a total contract cost of $290,485. Department management staff has reviewed
these changes and recommend their approval as being in accordance with the terms of the
contract.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that Council award Change Order #2 to the Contract for
Utilities Management System in the amount of $55,125.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Change Order #2 for Utilities Management System to Mainsaver, in the
amount of $55,125.00.
