From:RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Meeting:January 26, 2016
Subject:Public Hearing on Request from La Cabana, LLC dba El
Jalapenos, 2418 No. Webb Road, Suite A for a Class “I”
Liquor License
Presenter(s):RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Background
Section 4-2 of the Grand Island City Code declares the intent of the City Council
regarding liquor licenses and the sale of alcohol.
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;
(B)To encourage temperance in the consumption of alcoholic liquor by sound and
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
agencies so that the abuse of alcohol and the occurrence of alcohol-related crimes
and offenses is kept to a minimum.
Discussion
La Cabana, LLC dba El Jalapenos, 2418 No. Webb Road, Suite A has submitted an
application for a Class “I” Liquor License. A Class “I” Liquor License allows for the sale
of alcohol on sale only inside the corporate limits of the city.
City Council action is required and forwarded to the Nebraska Liquor Control
Commission for issuance of all licenses. This application has been reviewed by the Clerk,
Building, Fire, Health, and Police Departments.
Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2016 Page 4 / 80
Also submitted with the application was a request from Alberto Baldovinos, 235 North

The Council may:
1.Approve the application.
2.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with no
recommendation.
3.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with recommendations.
4.Deny the application.
Recommendation
Based on the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission’s criteria for the approval of Liquor
Licenses, City Administration recommends that the Council approve this application.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the application for La Cabana, LLC dba El Jalapenos, 2418 No. Webb
Road, Suite A for a Class “I” Liquor License contingent upon final inspections and
Manager Designation for Alberto Baldovinos, 235 North Custer contingent upon

Supplemental Report
Date, Time: Mon Jan 11 10:12:13 CST 2016
Reporting Officer: Vitera
Unit- CID
I received a copy of a liquor license application for El Jalapenos from
Alberto Baldovinos. Alberto is also applying to be the liquor manager.
Alberto currently has a liquor license at La Cabana and had a second
liquor license for a bar and grill called El Farayon which has since
closed. El Jalapenos will be located at 2418 N. Webb which is the current
location of La Cocina. Prior to that, it was San Pedro, and prior to
that, it was El Mariachi. All of those establishments tried to get a
liquor license, but none of them did.
Since Alberto has owned and operated La Cabana for the past 5.5 years, I
don't see any liquor license violations listed on the NLCC's web site,
nor do I see any problems with that restaurant listed in Spillman. I was
unable to find El Farayon on the NLCC's web site since it's been closed
for awhile. In reviewing my initial investigation into that application
Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2016 Page 7 / 80
and related reports, it appears that El Farayon was open for about two
years. Spillman does show multiple calls there for assaults, trespassing,
disturbing the peace (Alberto was cited and plead guilty for having loud
music), and criminal mischief.
In looking at the El Jalapenos application, I found that Alberto
disclosed convictions from ten different contacts with law enforcement
over the years. Two of those convictions (carrying a concealed weapon &
3rd degree assault) would have precluded him from receiving a liquor
license, but the convictions were set aside prior to him obtaining a
license for La Cabana. Alberto also said that he's not borrowing any
money to establish/operate the business, no one else will share in the
business profits, and none of the furniture, fixtures, or equipment will
be owned by someone else. Alberto has leased the property for El
Jalapenos until 11/30/18. He also stated that the primary business of El
Jalapenos will be a restaurant which will be open until 10:00 PM Sunday
through Thursday and 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday.
According to his application, Alberto has lived in Grand Island since
2001, and his spouse (Macrina Baldovinos) lived in Mexico from 1987
through 2008 and in Grand Island since 2008. Macrina signed a Spousal
Affidavit of Non- Participation form. Alberto said in his business plan
that he intends to operate El Jalapenos in a similar fashion as La
Cabana. As I mentioned above, Alberto stated on his application that none
of the furniture, fixtures, or equipment for his business will be owned
by someone else. However, the application has an "Exhibit A" attached to
it which lists furniture and equipment totaling $34,704. I'm guessing
those items belong to someone else since Alberto is leasing the property.
I will clear that up with him when I speak to him.
I checked Alberto through Spillman and NCJIS. Alberto has several
contacts in Spillman, but all of them with Alberto being an "offender"
occurred prior to the issuance of his liquor license for La Cabana with
the exception of the disturbing the peace at El Farayon mentioned above.
I did not find any undisclosed convictions listed in NCJIS. Alberto is
listed as a "Multi-State Offender" in NCJIS, but I am unable to run out
of state criminal history checks on liquor license investigations. It
could be as simple as his DUI out of Missouri that he disclosed on his
application. Any additional information will have to be obtained from
fingerprint records. I also checked Alberto through a paid law
enforcement-only database and found that he had a civil judgment filed
against him in 2009 by Credit Management for $1,265. I called Credit
Management and was told that the judgment has been satisfied. I did a
general Internet search and found a couple of facebook pages for Alberto.
One has a photograph of a margarita glass with no other information. The
other has a photograph of a male who appears to have a couple of guns
strapped to his hips along with four photographs which all include a
young girl presumed to be a relative.
I called Alberto on 1/11/16 and set up a time to meet with him on
1//12/16 at 0930 at the new restaurant. Nebraska State Patrol
Investigator Dan Fiala and I met with Alberto at the scheduled time and
place. Alberto informed us that he does not know the people who owned El
Mariachi or San Pedro. Alberto did not know the owner of La Cocina either
Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2016 Page 8 / 80
until he expressed interest in putting in El Jalapenos. Alberto is
leasing the building (not from the owner of La Cocina) and buying some of
the equipment in the building. Alberto agreed to pay the owner of La
Cocina $1,000 per month for thirty months to pay for the equipment.
Alberto also said that "Exhibit A" in his application is not accurate.
Alberto looked at a copy of it and believes the list is from La Cabana
and should not have been included in this application.
Alberto was asked about convictions in other states to address the
"Multi-State Offender" issue. Other than his DUI that he disclosed out of
Missouri, Alberto said he can only recall a speeding ticket he received
in Texas five or six years ago. I asked Alberto about his experience with
El Farayon and the related police contacts. Alberto said El Farayon was a
bar, not a restaurant. He said that was a stressful endeavor that he's
not interested in doing again anytime soon.
I showed Alberto a copy of the facebook page with a photograph of a male
standing on showing off two black objects on his belt. Alberto confirmed
that was a photograph of him wearing a 9mm and .380 handgun on his belt.
I asked why he would put the photograph on his facebook page, and he said
the he was happy at the time with his purchase of the handguns. He said
the other photographs of the little girl are his daughter. Alberto has an
active concealed carry permit, so there's nothing illegal about him
posing with a couple of handguns. Alberto also acknowledged that the
other facebook page with the margarita on it was his as well. He said it
was for La Cabana, but there's nothing on it because he doesn't keep it
up.
All in all, other than the mistake with "Exhibit A," I didn't find any
problems with Alberto's application. He had a few issues with El Farayon,
but he closed it. He seems to run a good business at La Cabana and has
had no issues with the Grand Island Police Department or the Nebraska
Liquor Control Commission. With his plans to operate El Jalapenos like he
operates La Cabana, the Grand Island Police Department has no objection
to El Jalapenos receiving a liquor license or to Alberto Baldovinos
becoming the liquor manager.

dedicated utility easements within Skag-Way Third Subdivision. There are no utilities currently
within these easements that will be affected by the vacation. The attached sketch details the

4.Take no action on the issue

SPECIAL ITEM:
Update – Grow Grand Island. Chamber of Commerce President Cindy Johnson gave a history on
visioning in Grand Island which started in 1997. Heartland Events Center, Moonshell and
Multicultural Coalition were the first initiatives.
Presented was the following mission statement for Grow Grand Island (GGI): “Grow Grand
Island cultivates bold ideas that create business and quality of life opportunities in our region
through planning, partnering and doing.”
The goals for GGI were: to help existing businesses grow; assist and nurture entrepreneurial
culture; enhance community image and marketing activities; improve educational attainment that
align with employer needs; and continue to develop our community assets.
The GGI Executive Committee consisted of: Mayor Jeremy Jensen, City Administrator Marlan
Ferguson, Hall County Supervisors Pam Lancaster and Jane Richardson, Don Smith,
Implementation Chairman from the Grand Island Independent, Brad Mellema and Tony Schultz
with the Grand Island Convention & Visitors Bureau, Cindy Johnson and Kurt Haecker with the
Chamber of Commerce and Dave Taylor and Galen Stehlik with the Grand Island Area
Economic Development Corporation.
Mayor Jensen’s passions were for the Patriot Gardens development project, State Fair-Fonner
Expansion, Highway 281 Corridor Development and Husker Harvest Days partnership.
Implementation Chairman Don Smith, 304 Pheasant Drive thanked the City for the help in
promoting this project. His committee was working on the seven entrances to Grand Island.
Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2016 Page 38 / 80
Page 2, City Council Study Session, January 19, 2016
Reviewed were the entrances. The vision was to make distinctive, elegant, timeless welcoming
impressions along the Grad Island major corridors. Reviewed was the process and schedule
through 2040 for the transportation plan. Growth of the City and traffic congestion through 2025
and 2040 were presented. Housing preservation, development and neighborhood initiatives were
reviewed.
It was mentioned that the Food & Beverage Tax would go before the voters at the May 10, 2016
Primary Election. This would continue the existing 1.5% tax on all food and beverage which
included alcohol.
Discussion - Cemetery Expansion. Parks and Recreation Director Todd McCoy gave a brief
background and reviewed the cemetery site selection and analysis process created by
Confluence. Through this process Confluence examined multiple sites as expansion possibilities
for the Grand Island Cemetery. The following five sites were chosen as potential expansion
properties:
Site 1 - Webb Road Sport Fields
Site 2 - Westlawn Memorial Cemetery
Site 3 - Undeveloped urban land
Site 4 - Rural residential property
Site 5 - Nebraska Veteran Memorial Cemetery site
Reviewed was the new Site at the Nebraska Veteran Memorial Cemetery.\
Site 5 – Veterans Cemetery Site:
Benefits – land is owned by the City so there are no acquisition costs. An existing cemetery is
on-site, so shared maintenance facilities and equipment would be possible. This site has a good
street presence and good views. There is multiple access points along both frontage roads, access
through tree line could happen in the future.
Challenges – traffic along the roads could cause unwanted noise. The tree plantings must being
immediately to begin to build the desired cemetery character. Noise from adjacent highway and
railroad tracks would need to be addressed to create a tranquil cemetery setting, buffers should
be a consideration in master planning.
Constraints – the veteran’s cemetery must be incorporated into the future cemetery design and a
drainage way existing through the site. Further study would be required to determine the full
impacts.
The following total costs of expansion for each of the sites were presented along with the years
before future expansion would be needed:
Expansion Costs Future Expansion
Site 1 – Webb Road $ 642,500.00 42 years
Site 2 – Westlawn Cemetery $2,058,950.00 25 years
Site 3 – Undeveloped Urban $2,314,850.00 73 years
Site 4 – Rural Property $2,350,100.00 73 years
Site 5 – Veteran Cemetery $1,316,600.00 44 years
Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2016 Page 39 / 80
Page 3, City Council Study Session, January 19, 2016
Discussed was held on the payback to the Cemetery Fund which was included in these figures
along with the number of cremations.
The following the operational costs were presented:
Year 1 Year 5 Year 10 Year 15
Site 1 – Webb Road $ 15,000 $ 25,000 $ 45,000 $140,000
Site 2 – Westlawn Cemetery $230,000 $230,000 $315,000 $315,000
Site 3 – Undeveloped Urban $ 80,000 $160,000 $190,000 $205,000
Site 4 – Rural Property $ 80,000 $160,000 $255,000 $270,000
Site 5 – Veteran Cemetery $ 80,000 $160,000 $255,000 $270,000
Additional staff was discussed. It was requested that Council be given a cost per existing burial
site. Closure fund (Cemetery Trust Fund) amounts were requested for the Webb Road site.
Jerry Hirschman, 2315 Gateway Avenue requested that the Veteran Cemetery be kept strictly for
veterans and that the land be controlled by the veterans. Jerry Poels, 3418 Deann Road spoke in
support of the veterans keeping the land.
Mayor Jensen stated we needed to look at Site 5 – Veteran Cemetery and see how it fit into the
bigger picture of the Patriot Gardens development before this was brought back to Council for
final approval. He stated these 640 acres would take time to develop and needed to be studied by
a consultant through a master plan.
Cemetery Superintendent Mark Sands, 1022 West 9th Street stated there was 5 years left in the
current cemetery and it takes time to create a new cemetery. Time was of the essence and there
needed to be more acres designated for the cemetery.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

Supplemental Report

Reporting Officer: Vitera
Unit- CID
Stephanie Moreno is applying to be the liquor manager at Klub Lavish.
According to her application, Stephanie has lived in Grand Island since
2011. The five years before that, she listed seven different addresses in
Minnesota. Stephanie worked for Payless in 2013 and 2014 and has worked
as a bartender for Klub Lavish since September of 2015. Stephanie didn't
list any criminal convictions.
I checked on Stephanie through Spillman and NCJIS. Spillman shows that
she has a couple of traffic warnings and was a victim of a criminal
mischief. No convictions are listed in NCJIS. Stephanie has a valid
Nebraska driver's license, and there are no warrants for her arrest. I
did a general Internet search for Stephanie and couldn't pinpoint
anything to her. I also checked a paid law enforcement-only database and
didn't find anything detrimental to Stephanie's application.
Stephanie has lived in Nebraska for a relatively short amount of time.
Assuming there are no issues at the State level, the Grand Island Police
Department has no objection to Stephanie Moreno becoming the liquor
manager at Klub Lavish.

From:John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Meeting:January 26, 2016
Subject:Consideration of Approving Request from the YMCA of
Grand Island for Permission to Use City Streets and State
Highway for the First Annual Eagle Spirit Duathlon
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The City received a request dated December 27, 2015, from the Grand Island YMCA
Special Events Coordinator requesting to use City streets and a State highway for the
First Annual Eagle Spirit Duathlon.
Discussion
The Grand Island YMCA is seeking Council approval and notice to the Nebraska
Department of Roads for the First Annual Eagle Spirit Duathlon to be held on Saturday,
April 9, 2016.
The race route will require the use of both City and County roadways, as well as US
Highway 281. Please see the attached maps.
State Statute 39-1359 requires the City Council to approve the route and for the City to
then inform the Nebraska Department of Roads that the route has approval if it closes or
blocks any part of a State highway. This is a requirement for any race, parade or march
that would create some closure of the highway. This action then makes the City
responsible for the liability of using a State highway for the event.
In planning for the event and to achieve the best identified route the request has been
reviewed by public safety and public works.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2016 Page 73 / 80
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee

4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the First Annual Eagle Spirit
Duathlon and direct that the Nebraska Department of Roads be notified of this action.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.
