#2016-1 - Approving Blight and Substandard Area Designation for
Downtown Improvement District
Staff Contact: Charley Falmlen
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 11 / 168
Council Agenda Memo
From: Charley Falmlen, Community Development Division
Meeting:January 12, 2016
Subject:Approving Blight and Substandard Area Designation for
Downtown Improvement District
Presenter(s):Charley Falmlen, Community Development
Background
In June 2013 the State of Nebraska Department of Economic Development awarded a
$350,000.00 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to the City of Grand Island
for Downtown Revitalization. The grant contract end date is currently April 1, 2016.
The State of Nebraska enforces the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development’s CDBG National Objectives, which are designed to ensure CDBG funds
are used in a manner that benefits low to moderate income individuals. The City of Grand
Island has received CDBG funds, and is therefore subject to the requirements of the
National Objectives, as identified in our CDBG Application.
One method of complying with said National Objectives is to spend CDBG funds within
an area that has been declared Blight or Substandard, thereby benefiting the low to
moderate income residents of the area, or low to moderate income individuals that make
use of the area. National Objects require the area which is receiving the benefit of CDBG
funds, to be re-designated every 10 years, to ensure the population affected by the benefit
is still identifiable as low to moderate income individuals.
The previous Blight and Substandard Designation is dated December 15, 2000. Nebraska
law does not require review of, or re-designation of, redevelopment areas after their
initial approval.
Discussion
City administration is requesting Council approval for a re-designation of Blight and
Substandard Area 1 including the Downtown Improvement district. By doing so, Council
is stating that the projects which are a part of and in the Downtown Business
Improvement District, such as the Kaufmann-Cummings Plaza Renovation, and The
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 12 / 168
Revitalization Fund, will help eliminate, reduce and prevent blighted and substandard
conditions in the area providing a benefit to low to moderate income individuals.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve the Blight and Substandard Re-designation
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 Blight and Substandard
Re-designation for the Downtown Business Improvement District.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Blight and Substandard Re-Designation and authorize the Mayor to
sign all appropriate documents.

From:Charley Falmlen, Community Development Division
Meeting:January 12, 2016
Subject:Approving Change Order No. 1 for The Chocolate Bar –
Banquet Hall
Presenter(s):Charley Falmlen, Community Development
Background
The City Council awarded the bid, in the amount of $151,700.00 for The Chocolate Bar –
Banquet Hall, to Fox Construction of Grand Island, Nebraska on September 22, 2015 via
Resolution No. 2015-265.
Any changes to the contract require council approval.
Discussion
The reason for the time extension request is a replacement of one of the originally
scheduled sub-contractors. The originally scheduled sub-contractor was unable to fulfill
the requirements, and therefore a new sub-contractor was obtained. The original finish
date for the project was December 4, 2015 and it is being extended to March 11, 2016.
There will not be any contract amount increase with this change order.

It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve Change Order #1 for The Chocolate Bar – Banquet Hall
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 extending the completion date

#2016-3 - Approving Certificates of Final Completion for Water
Main District 467T - Engleman Road - Old Potash Highway, South
1/2 Mile
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 18 / 168
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Meeting:January 12, 2016
Subject:Water Main District 467T – Engleman Road from Old
Potash Highway, South ½ Mile
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Water Main District 467T is part of the Utilities Department’s Master Plan and extends a
new City water main along Engleman Road from Old Potash Highway, South for one-
half (1/2) mile.
The construction is the first phase to complete the westerly loop of the water system. The
project will provide for future development and fire protection for this portion of the
City. A subsequent phase will eventually extend the line to Stolley Park Road and
complete the loop of this section.
Discussion
Water Main District 467T was constructed as a connection fee district. This is the City’s
standard method for installing large diameter “trunk” mains in section line roads and
provides for the City to be reimbursed for the related project costs when an adjacent
property receives municipal service. The associated fees are not collected until the user
connects to (taps) the main.
Attached for reference are copies of:
The Engineer’s Certificates of Final Completion for Water Main District 467T

Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 19 / 168

Completion for Water Main District 467T and sit as a Board of Equalization on February
9, 2016, to establish the connection fees for the properties within the district.
Sample Motion

Subject:Approving the Certificate of Compliance with the
Nebraska Department of Roads for Maintenance
Agreement No. 12; Calendar Year 2015
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The City of Grand Island and the Nebraska Department of Roads have had an agreement
for the maintenance of state highways within the City limits dating back to 1970.
Maintenance responsibilities for State highways within the corporate City limits are
defined by state statue.
The Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) is responsible for the cost of the
maintenance of the highway lanes through a community and the City is responsible for
the cost of the maintenance of any highway widening including parking, additional thru
lanes or left turn lanes. The statutes provide that the NDOR is to reimburse the City for
work the City performs on NDOR’s highway lanes.
Discussion
The agreement requires the City to certify that it has completed the maintenance work
required by the agreement for the 2015 calendar year.
The NDOR performs snow removal on NE Highway 2, US Highway 281, US Highway
34, and a portion of US Highway 30 from the west City limits to Johnstown Road. The
City performs snow removal on US Highway 30 from Johnstown Road through town to
the east City limits at Shady Bend Road. The City performs the surface maintenance on
all state highways within the City limits. The net result of this exchange of services is a
payment by the Nebraska Department of Roads to the City of Grand Island in the amount
of $35,672.00.

Phase II; Project No. 2013-S-4
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 45 / 168
Council Agenda Memo
From:Terry Brown PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:January 12, 2016
Subject:Approving Change Order No. 5 for North Interceptor Phase II;
Project No. 2013-S-4
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Public Works Staff in conjunction with Black & Veatch of Kansas City, Missouri have jointly
called out improvements through 2037 for the Wastewater Treatment Plant and collection system
according to the Collection System Master Plan (B&V January 2014). The current North
Interceptor project will replace aged force main, eliminate six (6) lift stations with the potential for
more, provide new sanitary services, and increase the capacity of the sewer system on the north
side of Grand Island.
The new North Interceptor gravity sewer 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 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)
Phase I reached substantial completion on April 8, 2014. Once final lien waivers are received, the
project can be formally closed.
Phase II Part B reached substantial completion on April 15, 2015. Phase II (Part A) is nearly
complete and a large portion of Phase II (Part C) has been completed. The lift station
abandonments (Bid Sections D, E, G, H and I) will follow the completion of Phase II (A, B, and
C), and are anticipated to begin this February.
On September 9, 2014, Resolution No. 2014-284, City Council awarded, Project 2013-S-4,
North Interceptor Phase II to S.J. Louis Construction, Inc. of Rockville, Minnesota, in the
amount of $21,479,537.50.
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 46 / 168
City Council approved Resolution No. 2015-39 on February 10, 2015, which established new
unit prices for installed storm and sanitary sewers which are embedded with native sand material
in lieu of the imported granular embedment specified in the contract documents. The potential
savings is anticipated to be around $300,000 where native sand is thought to be suitable and may
be used for up to 20,795 feet of pipe.
On March 23, 2015, by Resolution No. 2015-74, City Council approved Change Order No. 2
which changed the methodology of the trenchless crossing from micro tunneling to a direct
jacked tunnel using a tunnel boring machine, resulting in a decreased unit price. Two (2)
locations were suggested for this change; Broadwell Avenue at Capital Avenue and Webb
Road/Northwest Crossings property at Capital Avenue. An overall contract deduction of
$210,003 was achieved, resulting in a revised contract amount of $21,269,534.
On June 23, 2015, by Resolution No. 2015-160, City Council approved Change Order No. 3,
which addressed: Unknown and unplanned restraint at the existing 18” waterline that crosses
Capital Avenue just east of Webb Road; Additional storm sewer work east of St. Paul Road as
needed to fill in a portion of the utility ditch and provide access to the new manhole; and As-
Built quantities for Phase II (Part B).
An overall net change of the contract amount resulted in an increase of $56,541, for a revised
contract amount of $21,326,075.
On August 11, 2015, by Resolution No. 2015-214, City Council approved Change Order No. 4,
which allowed for an open cut at the intersection of Capital Avenue and Broadwell Avenue for
installation of the north interceptor, rerouting of the dewatering discharge, and several
modifications to the existing storm sewer at this intersection. An overall contract decrease of
$40,651.39 was reached, resulting in a revised contract amount of $21,285,423.51.
Discussion
Public Works Administration is requesting Change Order No. 5 for North Interceptor Phase II;
Project No. 2013-S-4. The change order covers costs associated with nine (9) unanticipated items
as itemized below:
1)Dewatering reroute near Webb Road in coordination with the Capital Avenue Paving
Project.
2)Additional work outside of established bid prices is included here regarding the 8-inch
sanitary sewer line extension as part Tap District 537T.
3)Additional storm sewer work in St. Paul Road in which existing corrugated metal pipe
collapsed upon excavation.
4)Retrofitting a new standard sanitary sewer manhole in St. Paul Road to a drop manhole.
The entire cost of the new drop manhole is included here. The reduction in one (1)
standard manhole will be seen in the final change order that consolidates all installed
quantities.
5)Additional storm sewer removal and replacement near the Burlington Northern Santa Fe
Railroad in order to facilitate tunneling operations.
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 47 / 168
6)Final remaining storm sewer items not covered in CO#4 for work at the Capital Avenue
and Broadwell Avenue intersection.
7)Replacement of a sanitary sewer service along the utility ditch for 1624 St. Paul Road. SJ
Louis has split the cost of this work.
8)Relocation of an existing water service along Indiana Avenue for 597 E. 19th Street.
9)Additional work required to provide power to the relocated Veteran’s Hospital sign
This change order will result in a contract increase of $171,544.13, for an adjusted contract
amount of $21,456,967.64.

CHANGE ORDER NO. 5
Change Order No. 5 covers items CO5-1 through CO5-9. This change order covers costs
associated with a dewatering reroute near Webb Road, additional work associated with an 8”
sanitary sewer line extension as part of a new tap district (District No. 537T), additional storm
sewer work in St. Paul Road, changing a new sanitary sewer manhole in St. Paul Road from a
standard manhole to a drop manhole, additional storm sewer removal and replacement work near
the BNSF Railroad, additional storm sewer work in the Capital Avenue and Broadwell Avenue
intersection, a damaged sanitary sewer service along St. Paul Road, additional work required to
provide power to the relocated Veteran’s Hospital sign, and the relocation of an existing water
service.
Item CO5-1. Dewatering Reroute Near Webb Road (Bid Section C)
Initiated by: Owner
In order to minimize any negative impacts to the Contractor completing the Capital Avenue
Widening project, the dewatering discharge for areas west of Webb Road needed to be rerouted
to the north along Webb Road (west of the Veteran’s Home Cemetery) as opposed to sending the
water east along Capital Avenue as described in the Contract Documents. This reroute required
additional pumping and piping rental in addition to fuel costs for the pump.
Attachment 1 includes an itemized breakdown of the costs.
Item CO5-2. Additional Work Associated with 8” Sanitary Sewer Line Installation for New Tap
District (District No. 537T) East of St. Paul Road (Bid Section A)
Initiated by: Owner
A new 8-inch sewer line was installed parallel to the new North Interceptor along the drainage
ditch east of St. Paul Road as part of a new tap district to serve residents currently on septic
service. This change order item includes the costs associated with that work that is not covered
under previously established bid items.
Attachment 2 includes drawings of the new sewer line in addition to an itemized breakdown of
these additional costs.
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 49 / 168
12/28/2015 CO5-2
Item CO5-3. Additional Storm Sewer Work in St. Paul Road (Bid Section A)
Initiated by: Contractor
In order to facilitate the open-cut installation of the North Interceptor through the intersection of
St. Paul Road, a 20 foot long section of existing 84” CMP pipe needed to be removed and reset.
This existing 84” CMP was in poor condition, so this change order item accounts for the material
cost to replace 20 LF of 84” CMP pipe.
The linear foot price for the 84” CMP is $200.
Item CO5-4. Change New 96-inch Diameter Manhole from a Standard Manhole to a Drop
Manhole (Bid Section A)
Initiated by: Contractor
In order to construct the sanitary sewer improvements for Bid Section E, the 96-inch diameter
manhole on the 48-inch North Interceptor located in St. Paul Road (MH-13A) needed to be a
drop manhole in lieu of a standard manhole.
The change order item establishes the unit price for a 96-inch diameter drop manhole which is
$34,500.
Item CO5-5. Additional Storm Sewer Removal and Replacement Near the BNSF Railroad and
Outfall Ditch (Bid Section A)
Initiated by: Contractor
During construction of the North Interceptor near the BNSF Railroad and the Outfall Ditch, an
existing 24-inch RCP storm sewer pipe needed to be removed and replaced to facilitate the
installation of the interceptor pipe.
Attachment 3 includes an itemized breakdown of these costs.
Item CO5-6. Additional Storm Sewer Work in the Capital Ave. and Broadwell Ave. Intersection
(Bid Section A)
Initiated by: Contractor
In order to facilitate the open-cut installation of the North Interceptor through the intersection of
Capital Ave. and Broadwell Ave., several modifications to the existing storm sewer system were
necessary. The storm sewer modifications include a combination of new storm sewer pipe and
new concrete structures. The majority of these items have already been covered in Change Order
No. 4 (CO4-4), but this change order item contains the final remaining items that were not
previously covered.
Attachment 4 includes an itemized breakdown of these costs.
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 50 / 168
12/22/2015 CO5-3
Item CO5-7. Damaged Sanitary Sewer Service at 1624 St. Paul Road (Bid Section A)
Initiated by: Contractor/Owner
During the installation of the North Interceptor along the Outfall Ditch just west of St. Paul
Road, an existing unlocated clay sewer pipe was hit and damaged by the Contractor. As a result
of this damage, one resident (1624 St. Paul Road) suffered a sewer backup in their basement and
needed to have a new sanitary sewer service installed.
It was agreed that the City and the Contractor would split the costs of the cleanup and new
sanitary sewer service, so this change order item includes the Contractor’s portion of those costs
(50% of the total).
Attachment 5 includes an itemized breakdown for these costs.
Item CO5-8. Provide Power to the Relocated Veteran’s Hospital Sign (Bid Section A)
Initiated by: Contractor
The existing Veteran’s Hospital sign needed to be relocated due to the change from a trenchless
installation to an open-cut installation through the intersection of Capital Avenue and Broadwell
Avenue. As a result of relocating the sign, a new power drop was needed to provide power to
the sign. This change order item all costs associated with relocating and providing power to the
sign.
Attachment 6 includes an itemized breakdown for these costs.
Item CO5-9. Relocate Existing Water Service Due to Proximity to Sanitary Manhole (Bid
Section E)
Initiated by: Contractor
An existing active water service was discovered to be within 10 feet of the proposed sanitary
sewer manhole at the intersection of 18th Street and Indiana Avenue. Utility Department
requirements are that all water lines and water services are to be a minimum of 10 feet
horizontally from any sanitary sewer or storm sewer structure. As a result of this, the existing
water service needs to be relocated to the north to achieve the minimum 10 feet horizontal
separation. This change order item includes all costs associated with relocating of the existing
water service.
Attachment 7 includes an itemized breakdown for these costs.

Presenter(s):Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
In 2008 the City of Grand Island purchased a 6.8 acre parcel of land located within the
Sterling Estates development site in the northwestern area of Grand Island for designation
for a future park.
On September 8, 2015 City Council awarded Resolution 2015-242 for the construction of
the second phase of sidewalk and trail in the park to Diamond Engineering of Grand
Island, Nebraska for a contracted amount of $48,107.00.
On October 25, 2015 City Council approved Change Order No. 1 in the amount of
$1,150.00 for the second phase of trail construction at the park. As a result of Change
Order No. 1 the contract amount was increased to $49,257.00.
Discussion
Parks staff, contractor, and engineer recommend the following changes to the Diamond
Engineering contract.
1.A line item for constructing a bench pad was unintentionally duplicated in
phase one and phase two of the park trail bids.
($1,150.00) Deduct
2. The southwest junction box was not adjusted.
(929.25) Deduct
The project is funded by the Sterling Estates Park Development Capital Account

Subject:Appointment of Jerry Janulewicz as City Attorney
Presenter(s):Mayor Jeremy Jensen
Background
On November 10, 2015 Council approved the appointment of Dan Brotzman for the City
Attorney position. Shortly before Christmas the City received notice that Mr. Brotzman
would not be taking the position. Mr. Brotzman has decided to stay in Colorado to be
near a family member who is ill. As a result, the City Attorney position was re-opened
and a new finalist has been identified.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat., §16-308 and Grand Island City Code, §2-30, the office of City
Attorney, for the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, is an appointed position. The position is
appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Council and serves through the Mayor’s
term.
Discussion
I am pleased to present Jerry Janulewicz as my choice for appointment to the City
Attorney position.
Janulewicz currently is a partner at Mayer, Burns, Koenig and Janulewicz law firm in
Grand Island since 2004. Prior to going into private practice, Janulewicz was Hall County
attorney from 2000 to 2004. As county attorney Janulewicz supervised the staff of deputy
county attorneys and support staff, was responsible for prosecution of criminal offenses,
provided general legal counsel to county officials, served as chief negotiator in labor
negotiations, and served as the county coroner.
From 1985 to 1995 Janulewicz was a deputy Hall County attorney and was appointed
chief deputy Hall County attorney in 1995 where he served until 2000. Throughout his
service as deputy county attorney, chief deputy, and county attorney, Janulewicz duties
primarily involved advising county officials on legal matters, negotiating and preparing
contracts, and representing Hall County in civil matters.
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 99 / 168
Janulewicz earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Nebraska at
Lincoln and earned with distinction his Juris Doctorate from the University of Nebraska
College of Law.
Besides Janulewicz’s extensive work experience in the legal field, he has been very
involved in the Grand Island community serving on the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie
Pioneer board of trustees, a member of the Senior Citizens Industries board of directors,
and a newly appointed member on the Third City Community Clinic board of directors.

2016. His starting salary will be at step fifteen of the City Attorney pay scale which is

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN SERVICES AGREEMENT
Governmental Qualified Plan
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Union Bank and Trust Company ("Union Bank"), and
City of Grand Island, Nebraska (the “Sponsor”), the sponsor and Plan Administrator of the City of Grand Island,
Nebraska Police Officers’ Pension Plan (the “Plan”).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Sponsor has established the Plan for the benefit of certain eligible employees of Sponsor and, if
applicable, certain eligible employees of other employers which have adopted the Plan;
WHEREAS, Sponsor is the Administrator (“Plan Administrator”) of the Plan and, as Plan Administrator, Sponsor has
the authority, power and duty to administer the Plan according to its terms;
WHEREAS, Union Bank provides certain services with regard to employee retirement plans;
WHEREAS, Sponsor has the authority and desires to retain Union Bank to provide certain services for the Plan; and
WHEREAS, Union Bank is willing to provide such services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and duties set forth in this Agreement, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound, do agree as follows:
This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for Union Bank's services with respect to the Plan. The terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into and part of the specific service agreement of each and every
Exhibit without express reference therein. It is agreed that Union Bank's authority and services as an agent or fiduciary of the
Plan shall extend only to the performance of the specific services and functions set forth and described in this Agreement and
any Exhibit hereto. Any performance of additional services to the Plan in connection with this Agreement shall not be treated
as altering the Agreement or Union Bank's duties hereunder and shall not create additional obligations of Union Bank under
any circumstances. It is further agreed that the responsibility for any Plan-related services and duties not identified in this
Agreement or the Exhibits hereto are retained by and remain the sole responsibility of the Sponsor and/or Plan Administrator.
The parties further agree that except as may be specifically provided in Section 1 of this Agreement, this Agreement,
including any Exhibit hereto, shall not require Union Bank to (i) act as a fiduciary to the Plan; (ii) provide investment advice
for a fee; (iii) exercise any discretionary authority or control with respect to the management of the Plan or Plan Assets (as that
term is defined in Section 1.4); or (iv) exercise or have any discretionary authority or responsibility in the administration of the
Plan. Union Bank does not, and shall not, provide tax or legal advice and the Plan Sponsor must obtain its own legal and tax
counsel for the Plan and its design, operation and administration.
1. TRUSTEE AND INVESTMENT-RELATED SERVICES
1.1 Safekeeping of Assets. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties, Union Bank shall safekeep all Plan Assets,
execute buy, sell and reinvestment transactions, collect and report dividend and interest payments, and act in accordance with
the trust or custodial agreement maintained in connection with the Plan. The term “Trust” as used herein shall mean the
funding medium established in connection with the Plan, and the term “Trust Agreement” as used herein shall mean the trust
or custodial agreement maintained in connection with the Plan. To the extent this Agreement conflicts with any term of the
Trust Agreement, the terms of the Trust Agreement shall control.
1.2 Reporting. Union Bank shall prepare periodic asset statements, describing all asset positions of the Trust as of
the period ending date (“Reporting Period”) and listing all transactions that have occurred during such Reporting Period. In
the case of any Plan Asset not publicly traded, Sponsor (or other responsible fiduciary) shall provide to Union Bank the value
of such Plan Asset, and Union Bank shall rely upon such value and shall have no responsibility to determine or confirm the
accuracy of such value to the extent consistent with applicable law.
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 106 / 168
2 Govt Qualified Plan
1.3 Contributions Processing. Within an administratively feasible period of time after Sponsor forwards
contributions to the Trust, Union Bank shall invest such contributions (and earnings thereon) in accordance with proper
investment directions.
1.4 Fiduciary Status of Union Bank. To the extent Union Bank is acting as Trustee with respect to any assets held in
Trust in connection with the Plan (“Plan Assets”), Union Bank shall be a fiduciary of the Plan and shall have fiduciary
responsibility for the duties assigned to it as Trustee in accordance with applicable law.
1.5 Investment Authority. Unless Union Bank agrees to the contrary in a separate writing, Union Bank shall have no
investment management authority with respect to any Plan Assets and shall not render investment advice to any person in
connection with the selection of investment options for the Plan Assets.
1.6 Selection of Plan Investments. This Section 1.6 shall apply only if under the terms of the Plan, participants,
beneficiaries, and any other persons (“Participants”) are entitled to direct the investment of all or a portion of their Plan
benefits (a “Participant-Directed Plan”).
Check one or more of the following:
Sponsor Responsible for Selecting/Monitoring Designated Investment Alternatives. Sponsor agrees that to the
extent the Plan is a Participant-Directed Plan, then Sponsor (or other person designated in writing by Sponsor)
shall be responsible for selecting and monitoring the designated investment alternatives (“DIA”) made available
to Participants under the portion of the Plan that is a Participant-Directed Plan. DIAs selected by the Sponsor (or
other authorized person) shall be permissible investments as described in Section 1.8. Sponsor acknowledges
that Union Bank may from time to time recommend that Sponsor review the appropriateness of one or more such
DIAs and that upon Sponsor’s request, Union Bank will provide information to Sponsor in connection with such
DIAs, including performance data, benchmark information, and fee and expense information; provided,
however, if Union Bank makes any such recommendations, Sponsor acknowledges that said recommendations
will be based on the appropriateness of such investment options for retirement plans in general, and shall not be
interpreted as being made specifically for the Plan. Changes in the Plan’s DIAs shall be made in accordance
with Exhibit D of this Agreement. Compliance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit D shall be deemed to
satisfy any Plan provisions relating to Sponsor’s obligation to select and monitor the DIAs available under the
Plan and such written correspondence shall constitute written direction from Sponsor to Union Bank to make
such changes in the Plan’s DIAs.
Sponsor acknowledges that Union Bank offers investment selection and monitoring services for an additional fee
that would relieve Sponsor from the fiduciary duty set forth in the preceding paragraph with respect to selecting
and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs, but that Sponsor has declined to engage Union Bank to provide such services.
Union Bank Responsible for Selecting/Monitoring Designated Investment Alternatives. Sponsor hereby
appoints Union Bank to act as investment manager for the limited purpose of selecting and monitoring the
Plan's DIAs, and Union Bank hereby accepts such appointment. In this capacity, Union Bank shall be
responsible for selecting and monitoring the DIAs made available to Participants under the portion of the Plan
that is a Participant-Directed Plan. The parties shall enter into an Investment Management Agreement under
which Union Bank will be responsible for selecting and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs.
Union Bank and Sponsor shall meet at least once during each calendar year (or more frequently as agreed
upon by Union Bank and the Sponsor) to review the actions taken by Union Bank pursuant to its duty to select
and monitor the Plan’s DIAs.
In assuming responsibility for selecting and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs, Union Bank represents and agrees
that it is: (a) a fiduciary within the meaning of applicable law; and (b) is a bank within the meaning of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
Union Bank Provides Plan-Level Investment Advice and Sponsor Remains Responsible for
Selecting/Monitoring Designated Investment Alternatives. Sponsor hereby appoints Union Bank to act as
investment adviser, and Union Bank hereby accepts such appointment. In this capacity, Union Bank shall
provide non-discretionary investment advice regarding the Plan’s DIAs to be made available to participants
under the portion of the Plan that is a Participant-Directed Plan. Although Union Bank will act as an investment
advisor, Sponsor (or other person designated in writing by Sponsor) shall retain responsibility for selecting and
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 107 / 168
3 Govt Qualified Plan
monitoring the Plan’s DIAs. Changes in the Plan’s DIAs shall be made in accordance with Exhibit D of this
Agreement. Compliance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit D shall be deemed to satisfy any Plan
provisions relating to Sponsor’s obligation to select and monitor the DIAs available under the Plan and such
written correspondence shall constitute written direction from Sponsor to Union Bank to make such changes in
the Plan’s investment options.
Sponsor acknowledges that Union Bank offers investment selection and monitoring services for an additional fee
that would relieve Sponsor from the fiduciary duty with respect to selecting and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs, but
that Sponsor has declined to engage Union Bank to provide such services.
Sponsor Permits Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts. In permitting Participants to establish self-directed
brokerage accounts (“SDBA”) under the Plan, Sponsor shall adopt a written policy establishing SDBAs,
documenting the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Sponsor shall require each Participant
establishing an SDBA to execute an agreement in connection with establishing such SDBA. Sponsor hereby
further: (a) agrees that unless Union Bank agrees otherwise, the investments in a Participant’s SDBA shall be
limited to publicly-traded securities, mutual funds, money market investments, and other similar publicly-traded
investments that are obtainable by Union Bank and which Union Bank is capable of holding in the ordinary
course of business, which trade on a recognized exchange or over-the-counter market, and have a readily
ascertainable fair market value on a daily basis; (b) acknowledges it has sole responsibility to ensure such SDBA
is made available to Participants on a nondiscriminatory basis; (c) directs Union Bank to execute any documents
necessary or appropriate to establish an SDBA for the benefit of a Participant; (d) and specifically holds Union
Bank harmless and indemnifies Union Bank for any action taken or not taken by the Participant (or the service
provider with whom Participant’s SDBA is established) in the case that such Participant’s SDBA is established
with a third-party other than Union Bank.
1.7 Investment Policy Statement. To the extent Union Bank is a discretionary trustee of the Plan (or Union Bank has
agreed to act as a fiduciary under applicable law and the Plan is a Participant-Directed Plan), Union Bank will be responsible
for creating and maintaining an investment policy statement for the Plan. To the extent the Plan is a Participant-Directed Plan,
and Sponsor is responsible for selecting and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs, Union Bank will provide a draft investment policy
statement for Sponsor’s review and approval; provided, however, it shall be the sole responsibility of Sponsor: (a) to determine
whether to adopt such investment policy statement; and (b) if adopted, to comply with such investment policy statement.
1.8 Permitted Investments. Unless Union Bank agrees otherwise, Plan Assets in a Participant-Directed Plan shall be
limited to publicly-traded securities, mutual funds, money market investments, and other similar publicly-traded investments
that are traded on a recognized exchange or over-the-counter market and have a readily ascertainable fair market value on a
daily basis (“Publicly-Traded Plan Assets”); provided, however, if Union Bank agrees to act as trustee or custodian of any Plan
Assets that are not Publicly-Traded Plan Assets, then Sponsor (or its designee) shall be responsible, at its expense, for
obtaining the fair market value of such Plan Assets and provide such valuation to Union Bank. For all investments in mutual
funds, Union Bank shall pass through any voting rights to the Participants whose Plan accounts are invested in such mutual
funds.
1.9 Prohibited Investments. Unless Union Bank agrees in a separate written document, the following investments
will not be permitted in a Participant-Directed Plan: (a) any investment that, in Union Bank’s sole discretion, would constitute
or may result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under applicable law; (b) derivatives, options, commodities, swaps, or
similar investments; (c) collectibles (as defined in Code Section 408(m)(2)); (d) non-publicly traded securities; (e) employer
securities; (f) any investment prohibited by applicable law; (g) any investment that could cause the Plan or Trust to be subject
to income taxes; (h) assets that are not capable of valuation; or (i) any investment prohibited under the terms of the Plan.
1.10 Investment Advice to Plan Participants. Sponsor may make investment advice available to Plan Participants in a
Participant-Directed Plan in accordance with Exhibit F. Sponsor acknowledges that any Plan Participant who wants to receive
investment advice must enter into a participant agreement with the investment advisor, if required, and that Sponsor further
acknowledges it has reviewed and approved such participant agreement.

such written determination, Sponsor hereby directs Union Bank to treat Sponsor (or any owner or affiliate of Sponsor) as not
being a member of a controlled group of businesses or an affiliated service group, and Sponsor understands Union Bank will
rely on this lack of written notice in providing services to the Plan. All data as may be required by Union Bank to conduct its

by Sponsor to Union Bank, and in such case Union Bank shall provide services hereunder with the understanding that Sponsor
is a member of a controlled group of business or an affiliated service group.
4. FEES
4.1 Responsibility for Fees. In consideration of the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, Sponsor
shall pay to Union Bank the fees set forth in Exhibit B. Unless Sponsor and Union Bank agree otherwise, fees will accrue on a

such fees and expenses will be billed to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Union Bank's fees may be paid out of the
assets of the Trust to the extent allowed by law and regulation if: (a) Sponsor directs that such fees be paid out of the assets of
the Trust; or (b) Sponsor does not timely pay such fees. Sponsor, and not Union Bank, will be solely responsible for
determining whether any expense (and the amount of such expense) is properly payable by the Plan under applicable law.
4.2 Future Adjustments. Union Bank shall have the right to adjust its fees upon providing written notice at least
thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such adjustment, or at any other time if changes are made to this Agreement or
any amendments made to the Plan, or any changes made to applicable law, which affect Union Bank's costs of services under
this Agreement as determined solely at Union Bank’s discretion.

Bank for the same.
4.5 Fees for Additional Services and Reimbursement of Expenses. Nothing in this Section 4 shall prohibit Union
Bank from performing any service not set forth in this Agreement for a reasonable fee; provided, however, any such service
may be provided, and any such corresponding fee may be paid, only if agreed to by the parties in advance of performing such
service; provided, further, Union Bank reserves the right to be reimbursed by Sponsor for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Union Bank in connection with providing shareholder communications and proxy materials services.
4.6 Right of Union Bank to Suspend Performance. If Sponsor, for any reason whatsoever, fails to make a required
payment of fees on a timely basis, Union Bank may deduct such fees from the Trust or suspend the performance of its services
under the Agreement until such time as Sponsor makes the proper remittance; provided, however, if Union Bank decides to
suspend the performance of such services, Union Bank shall provide Sponsor with timely written notice of Union Bank’s
intent to suspend the performance of such services.
4.7 Fees Received by Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Union Bank from receiving reasonable
fees or compensation from any person directly or indirectly in connection with the services provided to the Plan, Participants,
or Sponsor in connection with the Plan. The Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that the fees or compensation that it may
receive from certain mutual funds that are selected as DIAs as disclosed in Exhibit D shall be considered compensation to
Union Bank for its services that is in addition to the fees charged directly by Union Bank for its services.

mail, and its failure to encrypt such e-mail transmissions evidences Sponsor’s acceptance of the potential loss of
confidentiality of such e-mail transmitted data.
The authorization provided in this Section 8.8 shall continue in effect until revoked or amended in writing (or via facsimile or
e-mail). To the extent Union Bank acts within the scope of this authorization, Sponsor expressly releases Union Bank from

to process such Electronic Elections pursuant to this Section 8.9 without further approval from Sponsor.

authenticity of such direction other than as provided herein. A Participant may be required to provide Union Bank with his/her
name, Plan name, Social Security Number, personal identification number, and any other personal information Union Bank
deems necessary or appropriate. For security purposes, Union Bank shall have the right to require a Participant to respond to
additional questions (e.g., date of birth, date of hire, or other “challenge” questions) before being able to access his/her

Float Fee
Union Bank earns a “Float Fee” at a money market rate of return. “Float” represents earnings Union Bank receives in
two situations. The first situation is when Union Bank has received contributions from Sponsor. In this case, float may
be earned between the time Union Bank receives such contributions from Sponsor and the time such contributions are
invested under the Plan. The second situation is when Plan Assets are transferred from the Plan’s trust/custodial account
to a Union Bank general account when a distribution check is made payable to a Participant. In this case, float may be
earned between the time such Plan Assets are transferred to a Union Bank general account and the time the Participant
presents the distribution check for payment.
Float Disclosure
In signing this Agreement, Sponsor is agreeing that Union Bank will receive, as additional compensation, for services, any
earnings (i.e., “float”) on Plan Assets received by Union Bank and held in a general account of Union Bank before such
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 122 / 168
VII Govt Qualified Plan
Plan Assets are invested or otherwise disbursed from the Plan. Uninvested funds are not segregated from other general
Union Bank accounts, so attributing an exact earnings or interest factor applicable to the Plan’s uninvested funds is not
possible. Earnings on the float depends on numerous factors such as current interest rates, Federal Funds rates, and the
duration of the particular debt instrument.
Float on Plan Assets Awaiting Investment. If Union Bank receives contributions or loan payments by pre-authorized
Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) debit to Sponsor’s bank account, such contributions will generally be invested by the
close of business on the business day following Union Bank’s receipt of such contributions and corresponding investment
instructions.
If Union Bank receives contributions or loan payments by wire transfer or check, such contributions will generally be
invested by the second business day following Union Bank’s receipt of such contributions and corresponding investment
instructions.
Float earnings will accrue to Union Bank on funds received for investment from the date of deposit with Union Bank until
the date the monies are disbursed (generally by wire transfer) in settlement of investment purchases.
Distributions. If Union Bank receives a distribution request in the form of a check, the float period begins on the date the
check is written and ends on the date the check is cleared by the bank on which the check is drawn. Union Bank will
generally issue checks from a general account by the close of business on the second business day following receipt of
available funds and payment directions. A distribution check is typically mailed on the same day it is written.
Consulting/Miscellaneous Services Fee
Union Bank reserves the right to charge a special Consulting/Miscellaneous Services Fee if Sponsor requests that
consulting or extraordinary services be provided. These fees can be charged for additional compliance testing,
compliance testing projections, correction of failed compliance tests, plan audits, consulting, reporting, disclosure, or any
other services not otherwise covered under this Agreement.
If Union Bank determines that such special consulting services or extraordinary services should be performed, Union
Bank will notify Sponsor in advance as to the extent of such services and the fee for such services. This fee is due and
payable upon completion of the special consulting services/extraordinary services. If the Consulting/Extraordinary
Service Fee will be paid by the Plan, Sponsor hereby directs that such fee be charged to Plan Participants on a pro rata
basis.
Plan Amendment Fee ................................................................................................................................................ No Charge
Union Bank does not charge a Plan Amendment Fee for preparing an amendment to Union Bank’s preapproved plan
document.
Plan Restatement Fee ........................................................................................................................................ Not Applicable
The Plan Restatement Fee relates to the preparation of a restatement of the plan document under Union Bank’s
preapproved document in accordance with IRS procedures. This fee is due and payable at the time the restatement
service is provided. If the Plan Restatement Fee will be paid by the Plan, Sponsor hereby directs that such fee be
charged to Plan Participants on a pro rata basis.
Participant Disclosure-Related Fee ....................................................................................................... $1-$10 Per Disclosure
The parties understand that applicable law requires Sponsor and Plan Administrator to provide to specific disclosure
materials to Participants. In the case in which Union Bank agrees to provide any and all such disclosure materials, Union
Bank reserves the right to charge a Participant Disclosure-Related Fee. Union Bank will notify Sponsor in advance as to
the extent of such disclosure-related services and the fee for such services. This fee, if applicable, is due and payable
upon completion of the disclosure-related services. If the Participant Disclosure-Related Fee will be paid by the Plan,
Sponsor hereby directs that such fee be charged to Plan Participants on a per capita basis.

relationships are generally arrangements whereby credits are generated by account securities transactions to pay for

arrangements affect the plan, you should contact Union Bank.

EXHIBIT D
SPONSOR RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTING DESIGNATED INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES
If this box is checked, this Exhibit D shall not apply.
Union Bank has agreed to make the mutual fund investment choices identified in this Exhibit D (the “Fund List”), and from the Fund
List Sponsor, in its capacity as a fiduciary to the Plan, has selected the investment options (“Designated Investment Alternatives”) set
forth below that will be available for investment of Participant accounts upon direction of Plan Participants. Sponsor understands that
Union Bank has agreed to provide certain recordkeeping and administration services for the Designated Investment Alternatives, as
indicated below, selected by Sponsor pursuant to agreements between such Designated Investment Alternatives and Union Bank. The
amount of fees, if any, currently to be paid to Union Bank by such Designated Investment Alternatives is set forth below, but is
subject to change from time to time. If at any time you want additional information in connection with such fees paid to Union Bank
by such Designated Investment Alternatives, you may contact Union Bank.
Under the terms of this Agreement, Sponsor is responsible for selecting and monitoring the Designated Investment Alternatives made
available to Participants under the Plan. Union Bank, however, reserves the right to change the mutual fund investment choices on the
Fund List from time to time. If Union Bank finds it necessary to change a Designated Investment Alternative that Sponsor has
selected for the Plan, Union Bank will provide Sponsor 60 days advance written notice of the change to be made, and the
corresponding change in fees, if any, to be paid to Union Bank as a result of such change.
If Sponsor does not object in writing to a proposed investment option change within the 60-day period referenced in the preceding
paragraph, Sponsor shall be deemed to have directed Union Bank to make the change as proposed. If Sponsor objects in writing to the
proposed investment option change within such 60-day period, Union Bank will propose another investment option suitable to
Sponsor. If Sponsor and Union Bank cannot agree on a replacement option, Union Bank, at its discretion, may terminate the
Agreement.
To the extent a Designated Investment Alternative is removed or added (whether Sponsor has initiated such action or whether such
Designated Investment Alternative was removed and/or added in accordance with the preceding two paragraphs), the Fund List below
shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such removal or addition.
The Sponsor represents that it has accessed/received a prospectus or other applicable fund disclosure documents for each of the DIAs
set forth below.

If this box is checked, this Exhibit E shall not apply.

of Stratus.
3. The Plan will not pay an investment management or similar fee to Union Bank with respect to Plan Assets invested in Stratus
shares for the entire period of the investment; provided, however, this shall not preclude the payment of investment advisory
fees by Stratus under the terms of the investment advisory agreement between Union Bank and Stratus, or payment of an
investment advisory fee by the Plan based on total Plan Assets from which a credit has been subtracted representing the
Plan’s pro rata share of investment advisory fees paid by Stratus.
4. If the Plan has prepaid an investment management or similar fee for any period in which the Plan purchases Stratus shares,
the pro rata amount of the prepaid fee that constitutes the fee with respect to Plan Assets invested in Stratus shall be refunded
to the Plan no later than the last day of the next fee period.
5. In the event of change in any of the rates charged to or paid by the Plan or Stratus discussed in paragraph 6(c) below,
Sponsor, or any successor thereto, shall be notified and shall have the right to disapprove or approve, in writing, the
continuation of purchases, sales, or redemptions of shares of Stratus by the Plan and the continued holding of any Stratus

(c) Sponsor has received a full and detailed written disclosure (the "Stratus Disclosure") of the investment advisory and
other fees charged to or paid by the Plan and Stratus, including the nature and extent of any differential between the rates

(d) Sponsor does not directly or indirectly control, is not controlled by, and is not under common control with Union Bank
or any affiliate thereof. For purposes of this Exhibit E, "control" means the power to exercise a controlling influence of
the management or policies of a person other than an individual.
(e) Sponsor, or any officer, director, partner, or employee or relative of Sponsor, is not an officer, director, partner,
employee, or relative of Union Bank, or any affiliate thereof; provided, however, if an officer, director, partner,

Plan of shares of Stratus as such purchases, sales, and redemptions are consistent with the responsibilities, obligations and
duties imposed on fiduciaries; provided, however, that such approval is limited to the investment advisory and other fees paid

to the investment advisory and other fees paid by the mutual fund in relation to the fees paid by the Plan and need not relate
to any other aspects of such investment.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN SERVICES AGREEMENT
Governmental Qualified Plan
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Union Bank and Trust Company ("Union Bank"), and
City of Grand Island, Nebraska (the “Sponsor”), the sponsor and Plan Administrator of the City of Grand Island,
Nebraska Firefighters’ Pension Plan (the “Plan”).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Sponsor has established the Plan for the benefit of certain eligible employees of Sponsor and, if
applicable, certain eligible employees of other employers which have adopted the Plan;
WHEREAS, Sponsor is the Administrator (“Plan Administrator”) of the Plan and, as Plan Administrator, Sponsor has
the authority, power and duty to administer the Plan according to its terms;
WHEREAS, Union Bank provides certain services with regard to employee retirement plans;
WHEREAS, Sponsor has the authority and desires to retain Union Bank to provide certain services for the Plan; and
WHEREAS, Union Bank is willing to provide such services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and duties set forth in this Agreement, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound, do agree as follows:
This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for Union Bank's services with respect to the Plan. The terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into and part of the specific service agreement of each and every
Exhibit without express reference therein. It is agreed that Union Bank's authority and services as an agent or fiduciary of the
Plan shall extend only to the performance of the specific services and functions set forth and described in this Agreement and
any Exhibit hereto. Any performance of additional services to the Plan in connection with this Agreement shall not be treated
as altering the Agreement or Union Bank's duties hereunder and shall not create additional obligations of Union Bank under
any circumstances. It is further agreed that the responsibility for any Plan-related services and duties not identified in this
Agreement or the Exhibits hereto are retained by and remain the sole responsibility of the Sponsor and/or Plan Administrator.
The parties further agree that except as may be specifically provided in Section 1 of this Agreement, this Agreement,
including any Exhibit hereto, shall not require Union Bank to (i) act as a fiduciary to the Plan; (ii) provide investment advice
for a fee; (iii) exercise any discretionary authority or control with respect to the management of the Plan or Plan Assets (as that
term is defined in Section 1.4); or (iv) exercise or have any discretionary authority or responsibility in the administration of the
Plan. Union Bank does not, and shall not, provide tax or legal advice and the Plan Sponsor must obtain its own legal and tax
counsel for the Plan and its design, operation and administration.
1. TRUSTEE AND INVESTMENT-RELATED SERVICES
1.1 Safekeeping of Assets. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties, Union Bank shall safekeep all Plan Assets,
execute buy, sell and reinvestment transactions, collect and report dividend and interest payments, and act in accordance with
the trust or custodial agreement maintained in connection with the Plan. The term “Trust” as used herein shall mean the
funding medium established in connection with the Plan, and the term “Trust Agreement” as used herein shall mean the trust
or custodial agreement maintained in connection with the Plan. To the extent this Agreement conflicts with any term of the
Trust Agreement, the terms of the Trust Agreement shall control.
1.2 Reporting. Union Bank shall prepare periodic asset statements, describing all asset positions of the Trust as of
the period ending date (“Reporting Period”) and listing all transactions that have occurred during such Reporting Period. In
the case of any Plan Asset not publicly traded, Sponsor (or other responsible fiduciary) shall provide to Union Bank the value
of such Plan Asset, and Union Bank shall rely upon such value and shall have no responsibility to determine or confirm the
accuracy of such value to the extent consistent with applicable law.
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 136 / 168
2 Govt Qualified Plan
1.3 Contributions Processing. Within an administratively feasible period of time after Sponsor forwards
contributions to the Trust, Union Bank shall invest such contributions (and earnings thereon) in accordance with proper
investment directions.
1.4 Fiduciary Status of Union Bank. To the extent Union Bank is acting as Trustee with respect to any assets held in
Trust in connection with the Plan (“Plan Assets”), Union Bank shall be a fiduciary of the Plan and shall have fiduciary
responsibility for the duties assigned to it as Trustee in accordance with applicable law.
1.5 Investment Authority. Unless Union Bank agrees to the contrary in a separate writing, Union Bank shall have no
investment management authority with respect to any Plan Assets and shall not render investment advice to any person in
connection with the selection of investment options for the Plan Assets.
1.6 Selection of Plan Investments. This Section 1.6 shall apply only if under the terms of the Plan, participants,
beneficiaries, and any other persons (“Participants”) are entitled to direct the investment of all or a portion of their Plan
benefits (a “Participant-Directed Plan”).
Check one or more of the following:
Sponsor Responsible for Selecting/Monitoring Designated Investment Alternatives. Sponsor agrees that to the
extent the Plan is a Participant-Directed Plan, then Sponsor (or other person designated in writing by Sponsor)
shall be responsible for selecting and monitoring the designated investment alternatives (“DIA”) made available
to Participants under the portion of the Plan that is a Participant-Directed Plan. DIAs selected by the Sponsor (or
other authorized person) shall be permissible investments as described in Section 1.8. Sponsor acknowledges
that Union Bank may from time to time recommend that Sponsor review the appropriateness of one or more such
DIAs and that upon Sponsor’s request, Union Bank will provide information to Sponsor in connection with such
DIAs, including performance data, benchmark information, and fee and expense information; provided,
however, if Union Bank makes any such recommendations, Sponsor acknowledges that said recommendations
will be based on the appropriateness of such investment options for retirement plans in general, and shall not be
interpreted as being made specifically for the Plan. Changes in the Plan’s DIAs shall be made in accordance
with Exhibit D of this Agreement. Compliance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit D shall be deemed to
satisfy any Plan provisions relating to Sponsor’s obligation to select and monitor the DIAs available under the
Plan and such written correspondence shall constitute written direction from Sponsor to Union Bank to make
such changes in the Plan’s DIAs.
Sponsor acknowledges that Union Bank offers investment selection and monitoring services for an additional fee
that would relieve Sponsor from the fiduciary duty set forth in the preceding paragraph with respect to selecting
and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs, but that Sponsor has declined to engage Union Bank to provide such services.
Union Bank Responsible for Selecting/Monitoring Designated Investment Alternatives. Sponsor hereby
appoints Union Bank to act as investment manager for the limited purpose of selecting and monitoring the
Plan's DIAs, and Union Bank hereby accepts such appointment. In this capacity, Union Bank shall be
responsible for selecting and monitoring the DIAs made available to Participants under the portion of the Plan
that is a Participant-Directed Plan. The parties shall enter into an Investment Management Agreement under
which Union Bank will be responsible for selecting and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs.
Union Bank and Sponsor shall meet at least once during each calendar year (or more frequently as agreed
upon by Union Bank and the Sponsor) to review the actions taken by Union Bank pursuant to its duty to select
and monitor the Plan’s DIAs.
In assuming responsibility for selecting and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs, Union Bank represents and agrees
that it is: (a) a fiduciary within the meaning of applicable law; and (b) is a bank within the meaning of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
Union Bank Provides Plan-Level Investment Advice and Sponsor Remains Responsible for
Selecting/Monitoring Designated Investment Alternatives. Sponsor hereby appoints Union Bank to act as
investment adviser, and Union Bank hereby accepts such appointment. In this capacity, Union Bank shall
provide non-discretionary investment advice regarding the Plan’s DIAs to be made available to participants
under the portion of the Plan that is a Participant-Directed Plan. Although Union Bank will act as an investment
advisor, Sponsor (or other person designated in writing by Sponsor) shall retain responsibility for selecting and

3 Govt Qualified Plan
monitoring the Plan’s DIAs. Changes in the Plan’s DIAs shall be made in accordance with Exhibit D of this
Agreement. Compliance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit D shall be deemed to satisfy any Plan
provisions relating to Sponsor’s obligation to select and monitor the DIAs available under the Plan and such
written correspondence shall constitute written direction from Sponsor to Union Bank to make such changes in
the Plan’s investment options.
Sponsor acknowledges that Union Bank offers investment selection and monitoring services for an additional fee
that would relieve Sponsor from the fiduciary duty with respect to selecting and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs, but
that Sponsor has declined to engage Union Bank to provide such services.
Sponsor Permits Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts. In permitting Participants to establish self-directed
brokerage accounts (“SDBA”) under the Plan, Sponsor shall adopt a written policy establishing SDBAs,
documenting the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Sponsor shall require each Participant
establishing an SDBA to execute an agreement in connection with establishing such SDBA. Sponsor hereby
further: (a) agrees that unless Union Bank agrees otherwise, the investments in a Participant’s SDBA shall be
limited to publicly-traded securities, mutual funds, money market investments, and other similar publicly-traded
investments that are obtainable by Union Bank and which Union Bank is capable of holding in the ordinary
course of business, which trade on a recognized exchange or over-the-counter market, and have a readily
ascertainable fair market value on a daily basis; (b) acknowledges it has sole responsibility to ensure such SDBA
is made available to Participants on a nondiscriminatory basis; (c) directs Union Bank to execute any documents
necessary or appropriate to establish an SDBA for the benefit of a Participant; (d) and specifically holds Union
Bank harmless and indemnifies Union Bank for any action taken or not taken by the Participant (or the service
provider with whom Participant’s SDBA is established) in the case that such Participant’s SDBA is established
with a third-party other than Union Bank.
1.7 Investment Policy Statement. To the extent Union Bank is a discretionary trustee of the Plan (or Union Bank has
agreed to act as a fiduciary under applicable law and the Plan is a Participant-Directed Plan), Union Bank will be responsible
for creating and maintaining an investment policy statement for the Plan. To the extent the Plan is a Participant-Directed Plan,
and Sponsor is responsible for selecting and monitoring the Plan’s DIAs, Union Bank will provide a draft investment policy
statement for Sponsor’s review and approval; provided, however, it shall be the sole responsibility of Sponsor: (a) to determine
whether to adopt such investment policy statement; and (b) if adopted, to comply with such investment policy statement.
1.8 Permitted Investments. Unless Union Bank agrees otherwise, Plan Assets in a Participant-Directed Plan shall be
limited to publicly-traded securities, mutual funds, money market investments, and other similar publicly-traded investments
that are traded on a recognized exchange or over-the-counter market and have a readily ascertainable fair market value on a
daily basis (“Publicly-Traded Plan Assets”); provided, however, if Union Bank agrees to act as trustee or custodian of any Plan
Assets that are not Publicly-Traded Plan Assets, then Sponsor (or its designee) shall be responsible, at its expense, for
obtaining the fair market value of such Plan Assets and provide such valuation to Union Bank. For all investments in mutual
funds, Union Bank shall pass through any voting rights to the Participants whose Plan accounts are invested in such mutual
funds.
1.9 Prohibited Investments. Unless Union Bank agrees in a separate written document, the following investments
will not be permitted in a Participant-Directed Plan: (a) any investment that, in Union Bank’s sole discretion, would constitute
or may result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under applicable law; (b) derivatives, options, commodities, swaps, or
similar investments; (c) collectibles (as defined in Code Section 408(m)(2)); (d) non-publicly traded securities; (e) employer
securities; (f) any investment prohibited by applicable law; (g) any investment that could cause the Plan or Trust to be subject
to income taxes; (h) assets that are not capable of valuation; or (i) any investment prohibited under the terms of the Plan.
1.10 Investment Advice to Plan Participants. Sponsor may make investment advice available to Plan Participants in a
Participant-Directed Plan in accordance with Exhibit F. Sponsor acknowledges that any Plan Participant who wants to receive
investment advice must enter into a participant agreement with the investment advisor, if required, and that Sponsor further
acknowledges it has reviewed and approved such participant agreement.
2. OTHER SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED BY UNION BANK
2.1 Union Bank’s Responsibilities. Union Bank, as directed by Sponsor, shall perform the recordkeeping,
compliance, education, reporting and disclosure, and additional administrative services as set forth in Exhibit A. Exhibit A

perform such services under this Section 2 as an independent contractor and that all such services shall be ministerial in nature
and that Union Bank shall have no discretionary authority to administer or interpret the provisions of the Plan and any such
service performed by Union Bank pursuant to this Section 2 shall be deemed to be made at Sponsor’s direction. Union Bank
shall not be deemed a fiduciary of the Plan by reason of the services it provides pursuant to this Section 2.

Operational Failure, at the Sponsor's cost and expense, under the IRS Self-Correction Program, as defined in EPCRS, unless
Sponsor determines such Operational Failure cannot be resolved under such Self-Correction Program and notifies Union Bank
in writing of such determination.

inaccurate information furnished to Union Bank by Sponsor or any other party.

caused by the failure of Sponsor to furnish or verify any information required for the services to be performed by Union Bank.

3.10 Plan Policies and Procedures. Unless otherwise provided herein, Sponsor shall be responsible for implementing
all policies and procedures in connection with the Plan's qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) procedures; investment
policies, loan policies, and administration (“policies and procedures”). Union Bank shall provide Sponsor with draft policies
and procedures, and it shall be Sponsor’s responsibility to review and approve such draft policies and procedures. If Sponsor

Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 140 / 168

3.11 Related Employers. Sponsor is responsible for determining and notifying Union Bank whether it and any other
employer or employers are members of a controlled group of businesses or an affiliated service group, as defined by Sections
414(b), (c) or (m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and notifying Union Bank in writing of such determination. In the absence of
such written determination, Sponsor hereby directs Union Bank to treat Sponsor (or any owner or affiliate of Sponsor) as not
being a member of a controlled group of businesses or an affiliated service group, and Sponsor understands Union Bank will
rely on this lack of written notice in providing services to the Plan. All data as may be required by Union Bank to conduct its
services under the Agreement when a controlled group of businesses or an affiliated service group is present shall be provided
by Sponsor to Union Bank, and in such case Union Bank shall provide services hereunder with the understanding that Sponsor
is a member of a controlled group of business or an affiliated service group.
4. FEES
4.1 Responsibility for Fees. In consideration of the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, Sponsor
shall pay to Union Bank the fees set forth in Exhibit B. Unless Sponsor and Union Bank agree otherwise, fees will accrue on a
monthly basis, and Sponsor will be billed on a quarterly basis, and such fees shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days
after the billing statement date. Sponsor shall notify Union Bank whether Sponsor will pay such fees and expenses, or whether
such fees and expenses will be billed to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Union Bank's fees may be paid out of the
assets of the Trust to the extent allowed by law and regulation if: (a) Sponsor directs that such fees be paid out of the assets of
the Trust; or (b) Sponsor does not timely pay such fees. Sponsor, and not Union Bank, will be solely responsible for
determining whether any expense (and the amount of such expense) is properly payable by the Plan under applicable law.
4.2 Future Adjustments. Union Bank shall have the right to adjust its fees upon providing written notice at least
thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such adjustment, or at any other time if changes are made to this Agreement or
any amendments made to the Plan, or any changes made to applicable law, which affect Union Bank's costs of services under
this Agreement as determined solely at Union Bank’s discretion.
4.3 Third Party Expenses. Union Bank may charge Sponsor reasonable fees for the reproduction or return of Plan
records requested by Sponsor or government agencies. Sponsor shall reimburse Union Bank for reasonable fees charged by
others for information reasonably requested by Union Bank to perform its duties under this Agreement.
4.4 Taxes and Assessments. If, during the term of this Agreement, any tax (other than local, state or federal income
taxes) or any other assessment, shall be imposed against Union Bank as a result of Union Bank performing its duties under this
Agreement, Union Bank shall report the payment of such tax or assessment to Sponsor and Sponsor shall reimburse Union
Bank for the same.
4.5 Fees for Additional Services and Reimbursement of Expenses. Nothing in this Section 4 shall prohibit Union
Bank from performing any service not set forth in this Agreement for a reasonable fee; provided, however, any such service
may be provided, and any such corresponding fee may be paid, only if agreed to by the parties in advance of performing such
service; provided, further, Union Bank reserves the right to be reimbursed by Sponsor for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Union Bank in connection with providing shareholder communications and proxy materials services.
4.6 Right of Union Bank to Suspend Performance. If Sponsor, for any reason whatsoever, fails to make a required
payment of fees on a timely basis, Union Bank may deduct such fees from the Trust or suspend the performance of its services
under the Agreement until such time as Sponsor makes the proper remittance; provided, however, if Union Bank decides to
suspend the performance of such services, Union Bank shall provide Sponsor with timely written notice of Union Bank’s
intent to suspend the performance of such services.
4.7 Fees Received by Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Union Bank from receiving reasonable

other methods. Union Bank shall not be liable for any loss of the confidentiality of information sent by e-mail prior to its
reception. Sponsor acknowledges that there are encryption methods available for the confidential transmission of data by e-
mail, and its failure to encrypt such e-mail transmissions evidences Sponsor’s acceptance of the potential loss of
confidentiality of such e-mail transmitted data.
The authorization provided in this Section 8.8 shall continue in effect until revoked or amended in writing (or via facsimile or
e-mail). To the extent Union Bank acts within the scope of this authorization, Sponsor expressly releases Union Bank from

authenticity of such direction other than as provided herein. A Participant may be required to provide Union Bank with his/her
name, Plan name, Social Security Number, personal identification number, and any other personal information Union Bank

Participants on a per capita basis.
Loan Fee
Initial Loan Processing Fee ......................................................................................................................... Not Applicable
This fee is due and payable, at the time the loan is established, from the account of the Participant who initiated the loan,
and will be deducted separately from the Participant’s loan proceeds.
Distribution Fee
Distribution Check Provided to Participant or Direct Rollover Transaction Made to Another
Financial Institution or Employer Plan ............................................................................................................................. $25
Additional Fee for Distributions Made via Wire Transfers to Participants ............................................... $15 Per Transfer
Additional Fee for Distributions Made via Overnight Mail ........................................................................ $35 Per Mailing
The Distribution Fee does not apply to installment distributions or required minimum distributions.
Unless Sponsor agrees to pay the distribution fee, Sponsor hereby directs that such fee be deducted from the Participant’s
account before the distribution is processed.
If a Participant’s account balance is $25 or less at the time the Participant is entitled to a distribution, Sponsor
understands and agrees that the entire amount of the Participant’s account balance will be paid to Union Bank as a
Distribution Fee.

payable at the time the alternate payee’s account is established under the Plan.
Float Fee
Union Bank earns a “Float Fee” at a money market rate of return. “Float” represents earnings Union Bank receives in
two situations. The first situation is when Union Bank has received contributions from Sponsor. In this case, float may
be earned between the time Union Bank receives such contributions from Sponsor and the time such contributions are
invested under the Plan. The second situation is when Plan Assets are transferred from the Plan’s trust/custodial account
to a Union Bank general account when a distribution check is made payable to a Participant. In this case, float may be
earned between the time such Plan Assets are transferred to a Union Bank general account and the time the Participant
presents the distribution check for payment.
Float Disclosure
In signing this Agreement, Sponsor is agreeing that Union Bank will receive, as additional compensation, for services, any
earnings (i.e., “float”) on Plan Assets received by Union Bank and held in a general account of Union Bank before such
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 152 / 168
VII Govt Qualified Plan
Plan Assets are invested or otherwise disbursed from the Plan. Uninvested funds are not segregated from other general
Union Bank accounts, so attributing an exact earnings or interest factor applicable to the Plan’s uninvested funds is not
possible. Earnings on the float depends on numerous factors such as current interest rates, Federal Funds rates, and the
duration of the particular debt instrument.
Float on Plan Assets Awaiting Investment. If Union Bank receives contributions or loan payments by pre-authorized
Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) debit to Sponsor’s bank account, such contributions will generally be invested by the
close of business on the business day following Union Bank’s receipt of such contributions and corresponding investment
instructions.
If Union Bank receives contributions or loan payments by wire transfer or check, such contributions will generally be
invested by the second business day following Union Bank’s receipt of such contributions and corresponding investment
instructions.
Float earnings will accrue to Union Bank on funds received for investment from the date of deposit with Union Bank until
the date the monies are disbursed (generally by wire transfer) in settlement of investment purchases.
Distributions. If Union Bank receives a distribution request in the form of a check, the float period begins on the date the
check is written and ends on the date the check is cleared by the bank on which the check is drawn. Union Bank will
generally issue checks from a general account by the close of business on the second business day following receipt of
available funds and payment directions. A distribution check is typically mailed on the same day it is written.
Consulting/Miscellaneous Services Fee
Union Bank reserves the right to charge a special Consulting/Miscellaneous Services Fee if Sponsor requests that
consulting or extraordinary services be provided. These fees can be charged for additional compliance testing,
compliance testing projections, correction of failed compliance tests, plan audits, consulting, reporting, disclosure, or any
other services not otherwise covered under this Agreement.
If Union Bank determines that such special consulting services or extraordinary services should be performed, Union
Bank will notify Sponsor in advance as to the extent of such services and the fee for such services. This fee is due and
payable upon completion of the special consulting services/extraordinary services. If the Consulting/Extraordinary
Service Fee will be paid by the Plan, Sponsor hereby directs that such fee be charged to Plan Participants on a pro rata
basis.
Plan Amendment Fee ................................................................................................................................................ No Charge
Union Bank does not charge a Plan Amendment Fee for preparing an amendment to Union Bank’s preapproved plan
document.
Plan Restatement Fee ........................................................................................................................................ Not Applicable
The Plan Restatement Fee relates to the preparation of a restatement of the plan document under Union Bank’s
preapproved document in accordance with IRS procedures. This fee is due and payable at the time the restatement
service is provided. If the Plan Restatement Fee will be paid by the Plan, Sponsor hereby directs that such fee be
charged to Plan Participants on a pro rata basis.
Participant Disclosure-Related Fee ....................................................................................................... $1-$10 Per Disclosure
The parties understand that applicable law requires Sponsor and Plan Administrator to provide to specific disclosure
materials to Participants. In the case in which Union Bank agrees to provide any and all such disclosure materials, Union
Bank reserves the right to charge a Participant Disclosure-Related Fee. Union Bank will notify Sponsor in advance as to
the extent of such disclosure-related services and the fee for such services. This fee, if applicable, is due and payable
upon completion of the disclosure-related services. If the Participant Disclosure-Related Fee will be paid by the Plan,
Sponsor hereby directs that such fee be charged to Plan Participants on a per capita basis.

arrangements affect the plan, you should contact Union Bank.

EXHIBIT D
SPONSOR RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTING DESIGNATED INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES
If this box is checked, this Exhibit D shall not apply.
Union Bank has agreed to make the mutual fund investment choices identified in this Exhibit D (the “Fund List”), and from the Fund
List Sponsor, in its capacity as a fiduciary to the Plan, has selected the investment options (“Designated Investment Alternatives”) set
forth below that will be available for investment of Participant accounts upon direction of Plan Participants. Sponsor understands that
Union Bank has agreed to provide certain recordkeeping and administration services for the Designated Investment Alternatives, as
indicated below, selected by Sponsor pursuant to agreements between such Designated Investment Alternatives and Union Bank. The
amount of fees, if any, currently to be paid to Union Bank by such Designated Investment Alternatives is set forth below, but is
subject to change from time to time. If at any time you want additional information in connection with such fees paid to Union Bank
by such Designated Investment Alternatives, you may contact Union Bank.
Under the terms of this Agreement, Sponsor is responsible for selecting and monitoring the Designated Investment Alternatives made
available to Participants under the Plan. Union Bank, however, reserves the right to change the mutual fund investment choices on the
Fund List from time to time. If Union Bank finds it necessary to change a Designated Investment Alternative that Sponsor has
selected for the Plan, Union Bank will provide Sponsor 60 days advance written notice of the change to be made, and the
corresponding change in fees, if any, to be paid to Union Bank as a result of such change.
If Sponsor does not object in writing to a proposed investment option change within the 60-day period referenced in the preceding
paragraph, Sponsor shall be deemed to have directed Union Bank to make the change as proposed. If Sponsor objects in writing to the
proposed investment option change within such 60-day period, Union Bank will propose another investment option suitable to
Sponsor. If Sponsor and Union Bank cannot agree on a replacement option, Union Bank, at its discretion, may terminate the
Agreement.
To the extent a Designated Investment Alternative is removed or added (whether Sponsor has initiated such action or whether such
Designated Investment Alternative was removed and/or added in accordance with the preceding two paragraphs), the Fund List below
shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such removal or addition.
The Sponsor represents that it has accessed/received a prospectus or other applicable fund disclosure documents for each of the DIAs
set forth below.

CONSENT TO STRATUS FUNDS
If this box is checked, this Exhibit E shall not apply.
Sponsor, as a fiduciary independent of and unrelated to Union Bank or any affiliate thereof, has directed Union Bank to make one or
more mutual fund portfolios, managed by Stratus, Inc. (“Stratus”), an open-end investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, available as investment options under the Plan pursuant to Exhibit D of this Agreement, and Sponsor, as an
independent second fiduciary of the Plan, and Union Bank agree as follows:
1. The Plan will not pay a sales commission in connection with the purchase, sale or redemption of shares of Stratus.
2. The Plan will not pay a redemption fee in connection with the sale or redemption by the Plan to Stratus of purchased shares
of Stratus.
3. The Plan will not pay an investment management or similar fee to Union Bank with respect to Plan Assets invested in Stratus
shares for the entire period of the investment; provided, however, this shall not preclude the payment of investment advisory
fees by Stratus under the terms of the investment advisory agreement between Union Bank and Stratus, or payment of an
investment advisory fee by the Plan based on total Plan Assets from which a credit has been subtracted representing the
Plan’s pro rata share of investment advisory fees paid by Stratus.
4. If the Plan has prepaid an investment management or similar fee for any period in which the Plan purchases Stratus shares,
the pro rata amount of the prepaid fee that constitutes the fee with respect to Plan Assets invested in Stratus shall be refunded
to the Plan no later than the last day of the next fee period.
5. In the event of change in any of the rates charged to or paid by the Plan or Stratus discussed in paragraph 6(c) below,
Sponsor, or any successor thereto, shall be notified and shall have the right to disapprove or approve, in writing, the
continuation of purchases, sales, or redemptions of shares of Stratus by the Plan and the continued holding of any Stratus
shares previously acquired. Sponsor’s disapproval shall terminate this Agreement.
6. Sponsor agrees, warrants, and represents that:
(a) Sponsor is independent of and unrelated to Union Bank or any affiliate thereof.

Plan.
(c) Sponsor has received a full and detailed written disclosure (the "Stratus Disclosure") of the investment advisory and
other fees charged to or paid by the Plan and Stratus, including the nature and extent of any differential between the rates
of such fees, and whether there are any limitations on Union Bank with respect to which Plan Assets may be invested in
shares of Stratus, and, if so, the nature of the limitations.
(d) Sponsor does not directly or indirectly control, is not controlled by, and is not under common control with Union Bank
or any affiliate thereof. For purposes of this Exhibit E, "control" means the power to exercise a controlling influence of
the management or policies of a person other than an individual.
(e) Sponsor, or any officer, director, partner, or employee or relative of Sponsor, is not an officer, director, partner,
employee, or relative of Union Bank, or any affiliate thereof; provided, however, if an officer, director, partner,

participation in: (i) the choice of the Plan’s investment advisor; (ii) the approval of any such purchase or sale between the
Plan and Stratus; and (iii) the approval of any change of fees charged to or paid by the Plan.
(f) Sponsor does not and will not, directly or indirectly, receive any compensation or other consideration for its personal
account in connection with any transaction described in this Exhibit E.
7. On the basis of the Prospectus and Stratus Disclosure, Sponsor hereby approves the purchase, sale, and redemption by the
Plan of shares of Stratus as such purchases, sales, and redemptions are consistent with the responsibilities, obligations and
duties imposed on fiduciaries; provided, however, that such approval is limited to the investment advisory and other fees paid
by Stratus in relation to the fees paid by the Plan.

to the investment advisory and other fees paid by the mutual fund in relation to the fees paid by the Plan and need not relate
to any other aspects of such investment.
9. To the extent this Exhibit E conflicts with Exhibits B or C of this Agreement, the terms of this Exhibit E shall control.
10. This Exhibit E shall apply only if and when Sponsor directs Union Bank to make one or more mutual fund portfolios,

Resolution Team
Staff Contact: Craig Lewis
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 163 / 168
Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:January 12, 2016
Subject:Resolution to Approve Legal Services to Obtain Court
Order for Abatement of Public Nuisance at 220 S. Vine
Street
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
The Grand Island City Building Department issued a request for proposal for legal
services to obtain a court order to abate a public nuisance at specified private property on
November 12, 2015; one proposal was received on December 1, 2015. The proposal was
reviewed and is in conformance with departmental needs.
Discussion
The Building Department along with the City Problem Resolution Team have been
working on several properties in the past that have progressed to a point that abatement is
desirable and the next step in the process is to acquire a court order allowing the City to
enter onto the private property and abate the defined public nuisance. This step requires
legal action to obtain a court order and this resolution allows for outside legal services to
obtain the desired court order and facilitate abatement.
Neuhaus Law Office of Grand Island, Nebraska submitted the proposal for the identified
property at 220 S. Vine Street with a not-to-exceed $4,500.00 limit.
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
Grand Island Council Session - 1/12/2016 Page 164 / 168
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the proposed resolution.
