Street for a Class “C” 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.

Building, Fire, Health, and Police Departments.

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.

Move to approve the application for Calm Nights, LLC dba Hotel Grand Conference
Center, 2503 South Locust Street for a Class “C” Liquor License contingent upon final
inspections and Liquor Manager Designation for Rhonda Saalfeld, 823 Austin Avenue
contingent upon completion of a state approved alcohol server/seller training program.

Subject:Public Hearing on Acquisition of Public Right-of-Way at
the Intersection of Faidley Avenue & Diers Avenue in
Crane Valley, Crane Valley 5th & Richmond
Subdivisions (Staab Real Estate, O'Connor Properties,

Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
It is anticipated that a traffic signal will be necessary at the intersection of Faidley
Avenue & Diers Avenue upon the extension of Faidley Avenue, west to North Road. This
project will address traffic patterns and warrant of a signal at such intersection.
Nebraska State Statutes stipulate that the acquisition of property requires a public hearing
be conducted with the acquisition approved by the City Council. Public right-of-way is
needed to accommodate the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Faidley
Avenue and Diers. The public right-of-way will allow for the construction, operation,
maintenance, extension, repair, replacement, and removal of utilities within the area.
Sketches are attached to show the public right-of-way areas.
Discussion
Acquisition of public right-of-way is needed from four (4) property owners for the
installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Faidley Avenue and Diers Avenue.
Engineering staff of the Public Works Department negotiated with the property owners
for such acquisition.

This tap district would be able to serve three (3) lots, with the potential to serve more lots

presently served with both water and electric.
If the district is created the sanitary sewer cost would be assessed to the properties
through a sanitary sewer tap district.

Background
In 1950, sanitary sewer mains and water mains were constructed in the Northeast area of
the City. The installation of the two systems was done in accordance with acceptable
standards of that time.
It has recently been discovered that the piping network in the 13th and Beal Streets
intersection does not meet current standards for clearances and safe operation. Water
Main Project 2016-W-3 will resolve the previously unknown conflict and conform to
modern construction practices. A site sketch of the work area is attached for reference.
Discussion
Bidding documents were advertised in accordance with City Procurement Codes. Seven
plan service firms, eleven construction companies and one supplier were notified of the
project. Four bids were received and publicly opened at 2:00 p.m. on June 2, 2016.
The bids have been reviewed and evaluated, and are without error. Myers Construction
did have an exception that dewatering would not be included in the bid price. The

#2016-132 - Approving Sale of Residual Fuel Oil
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 76 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Sale of Residual (No. 6) Fuel Oil
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The City’s electric generating facilities include the Platte Generating Station and the
Burdick Station. Platte is a coal-fueled steam turbine generator rated at 100 megawatts. It
is the City’s base-loaded generating facility, operating over 8,000 hours per year. The
generating capacity at the Burdick Station consists of three steam turbine generators (92
megawatts total) and three combustion turbine generators (81 megawatts total). These
units use natural gas as their primary fuel and because of their fuel cost being higher than
coal, they are used as peaking units during high load demand periods, about 400 to 500
hours per year. Additionally, because of their quick start characteristics (less than 15
minutes), the combustion turbines are used instead of the steam turbine units, which were
originally designed as base load units in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
As a contingency for times when the natural gas supply could be interrupted, both types
of units at Burdick can use fuel oil as a backup fuel source. The combustion turbines
utilize distillate (No. 2) fuel oil, which is a byproduct of the oil refining process. No. 6
fuel oil is usually less expensive than No. 2 fuel oil, but requires heating for handling and
combustion and is better suited for base-load units.
With the addition of 33 megawatts of coal-fueled generation from the City’s participation
in the Nebraska City Unit 2 and an additional 15 megawatts in the Whelan 2 project at
Hastings, the mission of the older steam units at Burdick will be more of a standby role
for disruptions of electric system operations.
As a result, the need for the inventory of the No. 6 fuel oil is minimized. The use of the
No. 6 oil requires a steam unit to be fired on natural gas for two to three days to heat the
oil for use, which is not timely in an emergency.
Last year the Utilities Department contracted to sell the No. 6 fuel oil, but pumping issues
occurred when the fuel oil fell below the heaters and only 288,000 gallons were sold.
Burdick Station currently has about 384,000 gallons of No. 6 fuel oil left in storage. As a
means of funding for expanding the No. 2 fuel oil inventory for use in the combustion
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 77 / 239
turbines as a contingency fuel source, bids for the sale of 384,000 gallons of No. 6 fuel
oil were solicited by plant staff.
Discussion
Specifications for the Sale of Residual (No. 6) Fuel Oil was advertised and issued for bid
in accordance with the City Purchasing Code. One bid was received:
Bidder Bid Price Total Estimated Bid
Altiras Fuels $0.05 per gallon $19,200.00
The bid was reviewed by plant engineering staff and is compliant with the specifications.

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

EXHIBIT B
Section 1. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED.
A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and
obligation of the Licensor to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of
the Licensor to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other wirelines, pipelines and other
facilities upon, along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be freely done at any time or times by the Licensor without liability to the Licensee or to any other party for compensation or damages.
B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (including those in favor of
licensees and lessees of the Licensor's property, and others) and the right of the Licensor to renew
and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment.
Section 2. CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION.
A. The Pipeline shall be designed, constructed, operated, maintained, repaired, renewed, modified
and/or reconstructed by the Licensee in strict conformity with (i) Licensor’s current standards and
specifications (“UP Specifications”), except for variances approved in advance in writing by the Licensor’s Assistant Vice President Engineering – Design, or his authorized representative; (ii)
such other additional safety standards as the Licensor, in its sole discretion, elects to require,
including, without limitation, American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (“AREMA”) standards and guidelines (collectively, “UP Additional Requirements”),
and (iii) all applicable laws, rules and regulations (“Laws”). If there is any conflict between the
requirements of any Law and the UP Specifications or the UP Additional Requirements, the most restrictive will apply.
B. All work performed on property of the Licensor in connection with the design, construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification or reconstruction of the Pipeline shall be done to the
satisfaction of the Licensor.
C. Prior to the commencement of any work in connection with the design, construction,
maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation, reconstruction or removal of the Pipeline from Licensor’s property, the Licensee shall submit to the Licensor plans setting out the method
and manner of handling the work, including the shoring and cribbing, if any, required to protect
the Licensor's operations, and shall not proceed with the work until such plans have been approved by the Licensor’s Assistant Vice President Engineering Design, or his authorized
representative, and then the work shall be done to the satisfaction of the Licensor’s Assistant Vice
President Engineering Design or his authorized representative. The Licensor shall have the right,
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 87 / 239
if it so elects, to provide such support as it may deem necessary for the safety of its track or tracks during the time of construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation,
reconstruction or removal of the Pipeline, and, in the event the Licensor provides such support,
the Licensee shall pay to the Licensor, within fifteen (15) days after bills shall have been rendered therefore, all expenses incurred by the Licensor in connection therewith, which expenses shall
include all assignable costs. D. The Licensee shall keep and maintain the soil over the Pipeline thoroughly compacted and the
grade even with the adjacent surface of the ground.
E. In the prosecution of any work covered by this Agreement, Licensee shall secure any and all
necessary permits and shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and enactments affecting the work including, without limitation, all applicable Federal Railroad
Administration regulations.
Section 3. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK / LICENSOR REPRESENTATIVE
/ SUPERVISION / FLAGGING / SAFETY.
A. If an emergency should arise requiring immediate attention, the Licensee shall provide as much
notice as practicable to Licensor before commencing any work. In all other situations, the
Licensee shall notify the Licensor at least ten (10) days (or such other time as the Licensor may allow) in advance of the commencement of any work upon property of the Licensor in connection
with the construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, reconstruction, relocation or
removal of the Pipeline. All such work shall be prosecuted diligently to completion. The Licensee will coordinate its initial, and any subsequent work with the following employee of
Licensor or his or her duly authorized representative (hereinafter "Licensor Representative" or "Railroad Representative"):

B. Licensee, at its own expense, shall adequately police and supervise all work to be performed. The
responsibility of Licensee for safe conduct and adequate policing and supervision of work shall not be lessened or otherwise affected by Licensor's approval of plans and specifications involving
the work, or by Licensor's collaboration in performance of any work, or by the presence at the
work site of a Licensor Representative, or by compliance by Licensee with any requests or recommendations made by the Licensor Representative.
C. At the request of Licensor, Licensee shall remove from Licensor's property any employee who fails to conform to the instructions of the Licensor Representative in connection with the work on
Licensor's property. Licensee shall indemnify Licensor against any claims arising from the removal of any such employee from Licensor's property.
D. Licensee shall notify the Licensor Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five
(25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as,
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 88 / 239
but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s),
vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of
any of Licensor's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such ten (10) day notice, the Licensor
Representative will determine and inform Licensee whether a flagman need be present and whether any special protective or safety measures need to be implemented. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Licensor, Licensor will bill Licensee for
such expenses incurred by Licensor, unless Licensor and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Licensor is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental
entity. If Licensor will be sending the bills to Licensee, Licensee shall pay such bills within thirty
(30) days of receipt of billing. If Licensor performs any flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Licensor, Licensee agrees that Licensee is not relieved of any
of responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
E. The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-
hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in
accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare,
supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental
pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in
effect at the time the work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid
for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Licensor and its
employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Licensee (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on
the basis of the new rates and charges. F. Reimbursement to Licensor will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any
flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during
which the flagman is engaged in other railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for
any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Licensor is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be
avoided by Licensor by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Licensee may not
be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Licensor to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements,
Licensee must provide Licensor a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the
need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Licensee will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given
to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional ten (10) days
notice must then be given to Licensor if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Licensor.
G. Safety of personnel, property, rail operations and the public is of paramount importance in the prosecution of the work performed by Licensee or its contractor. Licensee shall be responsible
for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety, operations and programs in connection with the work. Licensee and its contractor shall at a minimum comply with Licensor's safety standards
listed in Exhibit D, hereto attached, to ensure uniformity with the safety standards followed by
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 89 / 239
Licensor's own forces. As a part of Licensee's safety responsibilities, Licensee shall notify Licensor if it determines that any of Licensor's safety standards are contrary to good safety
practices. Licensee and its contractor shall furnish copies of Exhibit D to each of its employees
before they enter the job site.
H. Without limitation of the provisions of paragraph G above, Licensee shall keep the job site free from safety and health hazards and ensure that their employees are competent and adequately trained in all safety and health aspects of the job.
I. Licensee shall have proper first aid supplies available on the job site so that prompt first aid
services may be provided to any person injured on the job site. Prompt notification shall be given
to Licensor of any U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration reportable injuries. Licensee shall have a non-delegable duty to control its employees while they are on the job site or
any other property of Licensor, and to be certain they do not use, be under the influence of, or
have in their possession any alcoholic beverage, drug or other substance that may inhibit the safe performance of any work.
J. If and when requested by Licensor, Licensee shall deliver to Licensor a copy of its safety plan for conducting the work (the "Safety Plan"). Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
require Licensee to correct any deficiencies in the Safety Plan. The terms of this Agreement shall
control if there are any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Safety Plan.
Section 4. LICENSEE TO BEAR ENTIRE EXPENSE.
The Licensee shall bear the entire cost and expense incurred in connection with the design,
construction, maintenance, repair and renewal and any and all modification, revision, relocation, removal or reconstruction of the Pipeline, including any and all expense which may be incurred by the Licensor in connection therewith for supervision, inspection, flagging, or otherwise.
Section 5. REINFORCEMENT, RELOCATION OR REMOVAL OF PIPELINE.
A. The license herein granted is subject to the needs and requirements of the Licensor in the safe and efficient operation of its railroad and in the improvement and use of its property. The Licensee
shall, at the sole expense of the Licensee, reinforce or otherwise modify the Pipeline, or move all
or any portion of the Pipeline to such new location, or remove the Pipeline from the Licensor’s property, as the Licensor may designate, whenever, in the furtherance of its needs and
requirements, the Licensor, at its sole election, finds such action necessary or desirable.
B. All the terms, conditions and stipulations herein expressed with reference to the Pipeline on
property of the Licensor in the location hereinbefore described shall, so far as the Pipeline
remains on the property, apply to the Pipeline as modified, changed or relocated within the contemplation of this section.
Section 6. NO INTERFERENCE WITH LICENSOR'S OPERATION.
A. The Pipeline and all parts thereof within and outside of the limits of the property of the Licensor shall be designed, constructed and, at all times, maintained, repaired, renewed and operated in such manner as to cause no interference whatsoever with the constant, continuous and
uninterrupted use of the tracks, property and facilities of the Licensor and nothing shall be done or suffered to be done by the Licensee at any time that would in any manner impair the safety
thereof.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 90 / 239
B. Explosives or other highly flammable substances shall not be stored on Licensor's property
without the prior written approval of Licensor.
C. No additional vehicular crossings (including temporary haul roads) or pedestrian crossings over
Licensor's trackage shall be installed or used by Licensor or its contractors without the prior written permission of Licensor.
D. When not in use, any machinery and materials of Licensee or its contractors shall be kept at least fifty (50) feet from the centerline of Licensor's nearest track.
E. Operations of Licensor and work performed by Licensor's personnel may cause delays in the work to be performed by Licensee. Licensee accepts this risk and agrees that Licensor shall have
no liability to Licensee or any other person or entity for any such delays. Licensee shall
coordinate its activities with those of Licensor and third parties so as to avoid interference with railroad operations. The safe operation of Licensor's train movements and other activities by
Licensor take precedence over any work to be performed by Licensee.
Section 7. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS.
A. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on the Licensor's property. Protection of the fiber optic cable systems is of extreme importance since any break could disrupt service to users resulting in
business interruption and loss of revenue and profits. Licensee shall telephone the Licensor
during normal business hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, except for holidays) at 1-800-336-9193 (also a 24-hour, 7-day number for emergency calls) to
determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on the Licensor's premises to be used by the Licensee. If it is, Licensee will telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, arrange for a cable locator, make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic
cable, all at Licensee’s expense, and will commence no work on the Licensor’s property until all such protection or relocation has been accomplished. Licensee shall indemnify and hold the
Licensor harmless from and against all costs, liability and expense whatsoever (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs and expenses) arising out of or caused in any way by Licensee's failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.
B. IN ADDITION TO OTHER INDEMNITY PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE LICENSEE SHALL, AND SHALL CAUSE ITS CONTRACTOR TO, RELEASE,
INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD THE LICENSOR HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL COSTS, LIABILITY AND EXPENSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS' FEES, COURT COSTS AND EXPENSES)
CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE LICENSEE, ITS CONTRACTORS, AGENTS AND/OR EMPLOYEES, RESULTING IN (1) ANY DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF ANY TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM ON LICENSOR'S PROPERTY, AND/OR
(2) ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON EMPLOYED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, AND/OR ITS CONTRACTOR, AGENTS AND/OR EMPLOYEES, ON LICENSOR'S PROPERTY, EXCEPT IF SUCH
COSTS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSES ARE CAUSED SOLELY BY THE DIRECT ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE LICENSOR. LICENSEE FURTHER AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT HAVE OR SEEK RECOURSE AGAINST LICENSOR FOR ANY
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION FOR ALLEGED LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR LOSS OF SERVICE OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE TO A TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY USING LICENSOR'S PROPERTY OR A
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 91 / 239
CUSTOMER OR USER OF SERVICES OF THE FIBER OPTIC CABLE ON LICENSOR'S PROPERTY.
Section 8. CLAIMS AND LIENS FOR LABOR AND MATERIAL; TAXES.
A. The Licensee shall fully pay for all materials joined or affixed to and labor performed upon property of the Licensor in connection with the construction, maintenance, repair, renewal,
modification or reconstruction of the Pipeline, and shall not permit or suffer any mechanic's or materialman's lien of any kind or nature to be enforced against the property for any work done or
materials furnished thereon at the instance or request or on behalf of the Licensee. The Licensee
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Licensor against and from any and all liens, claims, demands, costs and expenses of whatsoever nature in any way connected with or growing out of
such work done, labor performed, or materials furnished.
B. The Licensee shall promptly pay or discharge all taxes, charges and assessments levied upon, in
respect to, or on account of the Pipeline, to prevent the same from becoming a charge or lien upon
property of the Licensor, and so that the taxes, charges and assessments levied upon or in respect to such property shall not be increased because of the location, construction or maintenance of the
Pipeline or any improvement, appliance or fixture connected therewith placed upon such
property, or on account of the Licensee's interest therein. Where such tax, charge or assessment may not be separately made or assessed to the Licensee but shall be included in the assessment of
the property of the Licensor, then the Licensee shall pay to the Licensor an equitable proportion
of such taxes determined by the value of the Licensee's property upon property of the Licensor as compared with the entire value of such property.
Section 9. RESTORATION OF LICENSOR'S PROPERTY.
In the event the Licensee in any manner moves or disturbs any of the property of the Licensor in connection with the construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, reconstruction, relocation or
removal of the Pipeline, then in that event the Licensee shall, as soon as possible and at Licensee's sole
expense, restore such property to the same condition as the same were before such property was moved or disturbed, and the Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Licensor, its officers, agents and
employees, against and from any and all liability, loss, damages, claims, demands, costs and expenses of
whatsoever nature, including court costs and attorneys' fees, which may result from injury to or death of persons whomsoever, or damage to or loss or destruction of property whatsoever, when such injury,
death, damage, loss or destruction grows out of or arises from the moving or disturbance of any other
property of the Licensor.
Section 10. INDEMNITY.
A. As used in this Section, "Licensor" includes other railroad companies using the Licensor's
property at or near the location of the Licensee's installation and their officers, agents, and employees; "Loss" includes loss, damage, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, penalties, costs, and expenses of whatsoever nature, including court costs and attorneys' fees, which may
result from: (a) injury to or death of persons whomsoever (including the Licensor's officers, agents, and employees, the Licensee's officers, agents, and employees, as well as any other person); and/or (b) damage to or loss or destruction of property whatsoever (including Licensee's
property, damage to the roadbed, tracks, equipment, or other property of the Licensor, or property in its care or custody).

CAUSED BY OR ARISING FROM, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, LICENSOR’S NEGLIGENCE.
C. Upon written notice from Licensor, Licensee agrees to assume the defense of any lawsuit of proceeding brought against any indemnitee by any entity, relating to any matter covered by this

harmless any indemnitee. Licensee shall pay all costs incident to such defense, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, investigators’ fees, litigation and appeal expenses,

Assistance Grant) Application and Funding

Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 101 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Chief Steven Lamken, Police Department
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)
2016
Presenter(s):Steve Lamken, Chief of Police
Background
The Grand Island Police Department and Hall County Sheriff’s Department are eligible
to receive Justice Assistance Grant money from the U.S. Department of Justice under the
JAG offering in 2016. The total award for Grand Island-Hall County is in the amount of
$22,434.00. The monies may be spent over a four year period. The Grand Island Police
Department will serve as the fiscal agency on this grant.
The Hall County Sheriff’s Department is a disparate agency and will receive twenty five
percent of the award totals. The grant will be shared; $5,608.50 to Hall County and
$16,825.50 to the City of Grand Island.
The Department of Justice requires that recipient agencies identify how the funds will be
used. The Police Department will use the funds to support our mobile video and
computing systems in our patrol fleet as we have done for several years.
Discussion
There is a requirement that the applicant agency (Grand Island Police Department) make
the grant application available for review by the governing body not less than 30 days
before application. The application deadline is June 30, 2016.
There is a federal mandate that requires a public hearing regarding the application
process and disbursement of the JAG funds. This hearing serves as the federal mandate.
The grant requires an MOU between the applicant (Grand Island) and any disparate
agencies (Hall County). By definition, Hall County is a disparate agency eligible for
funds.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 102 / 239
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the application and suggested disbursement of JAG funds and the
MOU.
2.Reject the application and use of JAG funds
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the application and suggested

#2016-135 - Approving the Continuation of the Three (3) Year
VOCA Grant #2015-VA-0224 for the Police Department
Staff Contact: Steve Lamken - Police Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 107 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Police Department
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Continuation of the 2015 VOCA Grant #2015-VA-0224
Presenter(s):Steven Lamken, Police Chief
Background
The Police Department received a Victims Of Crime Act, VOCA, Federal grant in 2015
which is good for fiscal years 2016, 2017, and 2018. The VOCA grant funds support the
Police Department Victim/Witness Unit. The VOCA grant requires a 20% match from
the City. The grant application requires a yearly grant continuation which must be
submitted by June 20, 2016.
The Police Department was awarded a three year VOCA grant requesting $118,093 in
2015/2016, $134,035 in 2016/2017, and $134,714 in 2017/2018. The grant funding
requires the City to pay employee costs of $14,408 in 2015/2016, $19,438 in 2016/2017
and $20,117 in 2017/2018. The grant request provided for the hiring of a Victim
Advocate for the Unit.
This action is to obtain Council approval for the continuation of the awarded grant.
Discussion
Historically the Police Department Unit has had one position, a Victim/Witness
Coordinator who provides victim/witness services. The previous grant applications were
based upon the limited funding available for VOCA grants. The Nebraska Crime
Commission acknowledged that the workload of the Department Victim/Witness Unit
was large and a second position was justified.
The Police Department submitted a three year grant application in July 2015 that would
add an additional position, a Victim Advocate, to the Victim/Witness Unit. As stated
earlier, 20% of the employee salary and benefits must be paid by the City. The remaining
match for the grant will be in-kind with office space, equipment, administration and
clerical support.

It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the continuation of the three
year Victims Of Crime Act grant #2015-VA0224 awarded to the Police Department by
the U.S. Department of Justice.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the continuation of the 2015-2018 Victims Of Crime Act grant from the
U.S. Department of Justice to fund the Victim/Witness Unit.

#2016-136 - Approving Acceptance of Grant for Fire Training
Simulator
Staff Contact: Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 111 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Fire Chief Cory Schmidt
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Acceptance of Grant for Fire Training Simulator
Presenter(s):Fire Chief Cory Schmidt
Background
The Grand Island Fire Department (GIFD) and other departments in our mutual aid
association struggle to find live fire training opportunities. When Fire Station #1 was
built in 2007, GIFD looked into relocating the training tower from its previous fire station
location at 302 South Pine to the new station location. The move was determined to be
cost prohibitive by administration and the tower was demolished. Since that time, GIFD
has been without a training tower.
Discussion
GIFD applied for a regional grant through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG)
program to help purchase a fire training simulator. The AFG program was created to
enhance the safety of the public and firefighters with respect to fire-related hazards by
providing direct financial assistance to eligible fire departments. GIFD was notified on
May 20, 2016 that their regional grant request was approved. GIFD will be awarded up to
$533,364 towards the purchase of a fire training simulator. The City of Grand Island is
required to provide a 10 percent match of the grant funds ($53,336 maximum). The fire
training simulator will be utilized by several agencies in our mutual aid association as
well as the State Fire Marshal Training Division. The conditions of usage were outlined
in a MOU approved by Council at an earlier meeting on April 26, 2016.
Specific cost of the fire training simulator will be brought to Council for purchase
approval in the future. There will be additional costs for ground preparation such as
leveling, fencing, concrete, etc. that will be outside the scope of the grant and will be the
City’s responsibility. It is anticipated to place the fire training simulator south of Fire
Station #1 at 409 E. Fonner Park Road.
GIFD struggles to provide adequate training to its department members. In the past, live
fire training has taken place in acquired structures donated by their owners. By accepting
this grant, GIFD and its mutual aid partners will have access to better, safer, and more
consistent training.

Background
As a result of the City’s status as a metropolitan statistical area, City became eligible for

Agreement entered into by and between the City and Hall County, City issued a Request
for Proposals for Public Transit Services for public transit within the City and County to
be provided through a unified system operated by a service provider. Senior Citizens
Industries, Inc., of Grand Island, was determined by the selection committee to be the

committee to be the most advantageous to the City, taking into consideration price and
the evaluation factors set forth in the request for proposals
Discussion
Under the terms of the proposed agreement the City would pay to Senior Citizens
Industries, Inc., as compensation for the provision of public transit services, $638,430 for
the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. City will have the option of renewing the

2014-2G
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The City is required to have a planned schedule for upgrading public sidewalk ramps to
conform to American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The current schedule and
budget will bring the City into compliance in approximately 23 years.
The area of 4th & 5th Street, from Sycamore Street to Eddy Street qualifies for the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and it is recommended that such funds
be used to install handicap ramps in this location. The City will be required to match 50%
of the project cost, which is estimated to be $810,000 at this time. The City has
completed projects in this area, which can be used towards the match amount required,
leaving approximately $150,000.00 to be paid out by the City.
On June 10, 2014, by Resolution No. 2014-151 the City entered into an agreement with
Schemmer Associates of Lincoln, Nebraska for engineering design services related to
Community Development Block, Grant Handicap Ramps 4th to 5th Streets; Sycamore
Street to Eddy Street; Project No. 2014-2G in the amount of $94,352.00.
All agreements must be approved by the City Council.
Discussion
The original agreement with Schemmer Associates is now being supplemented to allow
for additional design work, rebidding services and construction engineering services.
The increase in cost for Amendment No. 1 is $34,045.00, for a revised agreement of
$128,397.00.

#2016-141 - Approving Bid Award for the Pavement Lifting &
Stabilization with Polyurethane Foam – South Locust St from
Lake St. to Diversion Bridge
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 159 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Shannon Callahan, Street Superintendent
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Approving Bid Award for the Pavement Lifting &
Stabilization with Polyurethane Foam – South Locust St
from Lake St. to Diversion Bridge
Presenter(s):John Collins PW, Public Works Director
Background
This project consists of lifting/leveling the concrete pavement and filling voids
underneath with polyurethane foam. This will reduce the unevenness of the pavement
both laterally and longitudinally creating a smoother ride and better drainage; existing
condition pictures shown in Attachment 2.
The existing concrete is in good enough condition that the treatment can be used on the
entire stretch of roadway. We usually remove and replace only the damaged panels,
which does little to correct the ride or the drainage. A full panel replacement project is
estimated to cost over $600,000.
Other benefits of pavement lifting with polyurethane foam include:
Extending pavement life by reducing fractures caused by panel movement.
Low traffic disruption since the work can be performed with lane closures.
Short duration work compared to concrete removal and replacement. The entire
pavement lifting project should take about the same amount of time as it takes for
concrete to cure.
The short work schedule reduces the need for traffic control and the use of
existing pavement eliminates the need to re-stripe, further reducing costs.
Special provisions for this project state the work is to be completed by August 19, 2016.
This completion date will avoid any work being performed during the Nebraska State
Fair.
Discussion
On May 17, 2016 the Streets Division of the Public Works Department advertised for

PolyLEVEL Advantages
Lightweight – PolyLEVEL weighs approximately 4-6 pounds per cubic foot when installed, which is
significantly less than the 120 pounds per cubic foot of typical fill material. This means there is almost no
additional load added to the supporting soils.
High Capacity – Lifting action is a result of the expansion of the polymer, allowing for lift on much higher
loads than typical mudjacking that relies on hydraulic pressure being contained under a slab.
Accurate Lift – Calculated reaction time of the PolyLEVEL foam allows for a targeted, precise lifting operation.
Waterproof – PolyLEVEL is fully waterproof so it cannot washout. In addition, because it cannot take on
water, it is not impacted by freeze/thaw cycles. Additionally, PolyLEVEL can be used to under-seal slabs
and stop a variety of infrastructure leaks.
Non-Invasive – The equipment used to install PolyLEVEL can be used in extremely limited access areas,
is far less messy than other methods, and can be installed more quickly.
Cure Time – Quick cure time allows for immediate loading, even heavy traffic, within 15 minutes after injection.
Compressive Strength – The in-place compressive strength of commercial grade PolyLEVEL material is
minimally 11,000 pounds per square foot, and often exceeds 15,000 pounds per square foot.
Consolidates Soil – As PolyLEVEL foam exerts the energy to lift a slab, it is placing an equal amount
of pressure on the soil beneath the slab. This process not only fills the void and raises the slab, but also
densifies the soil below.
PolyLEVEL System
The Foundation Supportworks PolyLEVEL system utilizes high-density polymers to stabilize and level
concrete. With multiple formulations available, PolyLEVEL is able to fit the needs of any job, large or
small. PolyLEVEL is a two-part urethane polymer that expands into rigid, structural foam to fill voids,
stabilize and lift concrete, and offer solutions to a wide range of geotechnical and structural applications.
Polyurethane has been used beneath slabs for decades, and it has proven to be a superior solution
compared to traditional methods of grout injection and concrete replacement.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 163 / 239
PolyLEVEL Applications | Roads & Bridge Approaches
Settlement of highways and roadways is a problem that Departments of Transportation across the country
are tasked with correcting on a regular basis. As expansion joint materials break down over time and allow
water to penetrate below the slab, and the subgrade below the concrete compresses as a result of heavy
traffic flow, sags often form in the roadway. These sags create difficult and unsafe driving conditions to
the general public.
Bridge authorities face similar issues when dealing with the settlement and misalignment of bridge approach
slabs. Often, these approach slabs are supported with backfill material which is both loose and poorly
compacted. The stress and constant vibration the slab encounters during daily traffic compresses this fill
material, thus creating voids below the concrete. As a result, many bridge approaches settle to the point
where they are no longer within tolerance of what is considered a safe and acceptable gradient.
The PolyLEVEL system offers a long-lasting solution to repair sinking highways, roadways, and bridge
approaches, while also providing many benefits that alternate options fail to achieve. While traditional
methods of repair such as diamond grinding or removal and replacement of the concrete have been used
in the past, these solutions are often temporary, cost prohibitive, time consuming, and fail to address the
underlying cause of the problem - the soil beneath the slab. With the PolyLEVEL system, city and state
agencies are able to correct the problem quickly, effectively, and with little inconvenience to the public.
With its quick cure time, high compressive strength, and efficient installation, PolyLEVEL is often installed
without having to completely shut down the roadway or bridge, allowing traffic to continue to flow without
any major disruptions.

Subject:Approving Correction to Resolution No. 2016-65
Regarding Purchase of a New Motor Grader from
Murphy Tractor for the Streets Division of the Public
Works Department
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On March 22, 2016 the Grand Island City Council approved Resolution No. 2016-65,
which allowed for the lease purchase of a new motor grader from Murphy Tractor of
Grand Island, Nebraska for the Streets Division of the Public Works Department. The
amount of $213,600.00 was financed by John Deere Finance for five (5) annual payments
of $45,732.02, for a total repayment amount of $228,611.20.
Discussion
Resolution No. 2016-65 incorrectly stated the first payment of $45,732.02 would be due
on November 10, 2017. Such payment was actually scheduled to be due on November
10, 2016.
Due to delayed delivery of the piece of equipment the financing has been adjusted,
putting the five (5) annual installments at $45,722.02, with the first payment now due on
November 25, 2016. The Streets Division of the Public Works Department is requesting a
resolution to approve the corrected annual payment amount, as well as the first payment
date.
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

#2016-144 - Approving Section 125 Cafeteria Plan Renewal
Staff Contact: Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 185 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Proposed Approval of Section 125 Cafeteria Plan
Renewal
Presenter(s):Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Background
The City of Grand Island provides a section 125 cafeteria plan to its employees. A
Cafeteria Plan is a reimbursement plan governed by IRS Section 125 which allows
employees to contribute a certain amount of their gross income to a designated account or
accounts before taxes are calculated. The City currently utilizes TASC as the third party
administrator (TPA) of the cafeteria plan. TASC processes claims and performs other
administrative services in accordance with the service contract. TASC has been the TPA
for the City since 2010.
Discussion
Administration is proposing a one year renewal of the Section 125 administration fees
with TASC. The current rate of $3.66 per enrollee will remain unchanged for the January
1, 2017 plan year. The annual compliance renewal fee will be waived for the plan year.
TASC continues to offer satisfactory performance and competitive pricing. A one year
renewal will offer the flexibility to consider a future RFP process if necessary. TASC’s
offer to continue the current fees into the next plan year will result in no budgetary
increases.
Please find included with this memo the proposed renewal letter and the original contract
for reference.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve

Council Agenda Memo
From:Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Approval of Dental Benefits
Presenter(s):Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Background
The City of Grand Island provides dental benefits to its employees. The City has a self-
funded plan. The plan premiums are used to pay claims. The City currently utilizes Delta
Dental as the third party administrator (TPA) of the plan. Delta processes claims and
performs other administrative services in accordance with the service contract. Delta has
been the TPA for the City since 2010.
Discussion
Administration is proposing a three year renewal of the plan administration fees with
Delta Dental. The proposed Administrative Services Only (ASO) fee would be $4.23 per
employee per month (PEPM). This would be an increase from the current ASO fee of
$3.85 PEPM. The current ASO fee has not increased in the six years with Delta.
Administration’s review the experience period finds the proposed increase to be
appropriate.
Delta continues to offer satisfactory performance and competitive pricing. Delta also
offers a large network of providers to service our employees.
Please find included with this memo the proposed renewal letter and the original contract
for reference.

#2016-146 - Approving Agreement with Tyler Technologies for
Tyler Content Manager (TCM) Product
Staff Contact: Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 216 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Approval of Agreement with Tyler Technologies for
Tyler Content Manager (TCM) Product
Presenter(s):Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Background
The City of Grand Island currently uses Laserfiche in conjunction with its financial
software, Munis, to electronically store some financial records. Currently the City is
operating version 10 of the Munis software, but in the near term it will be upgraded to
version 11. Version 11 will no longer support Laserfiche and requires a different
document storage method. The only method that will be supported by Tyler
Technologies, who provides Munis, is TCM. The implementation of TCM was budgeted
by the Information Technology Internal Service Fund for the 2016 fiscal year. The budget
for this item was set at $100,000.
Discussion
The addition of TCM will not only provide a replacement for Laserfiche, but will also
allow several tasks to be performed more efficiently and accurately.
TCM will allow for streamlined and paperless approval of invoices that end up on
the bimonthly schedule of bills. Staff time will no longer need to be spent sending
paper throughout the City for review, analysis and approval. The review, analysis
and approval will now take place electronically.
The accuracy of images will also be improved
Improved document control thru indexing and retention settings
Controls for sensitive information contained on documents. Documents that
contain confidential information will be stored in a secure format with sensitive
information being redacted for those individuals who are not authorized to view
that information. This will allow quick retrieval of these documents when needed
and enable these documents to be stored digitally. As they are currently being
stored in paper format in a locked location.
TCM will provide one storage location for multiple types of financial records.

#2016-147 - Approving Microsoft Licensing Enterprise Agreement
Staff Contact: Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 225 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Approving Microsoft Licensing Enterprise Agreement
Presenter(s):Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Background
In 1997, the City of Grand Island installed a network at City Hall and made the
determination to standardize the organization with Microsoft products. On June 11, 2013,
Council adopted Resolution 2013-174 approving an agreement for Microsoft software
license renewals for a 3 year period ending June 30, 2016. The end of this term
necessitates that a contract renewal be completed.
This three year agreement provides licensing for Microsoft products installed on
desktops, laptops and servers owned by the City of Grand Island with the exception of the
Public Library. The Public Library is entitled to special Microsoft pricing through
TechSoup, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides donated and discounted products and
services to nonprofits, charities, and public libraries.
The types of licenses included in this agreement are Windows operating systems, Office
Professional, Windows Servers, Exchange Email Server licenses, and Core Client Access
licenses. This agreement also includes Software Assurance benefits, which allow
upgrades to the highest version release available throughout the term of the agreement.
Discussion
Based on the number of users/desktops for the State of Nebraska pool, the City of Grand
Island receives the lowest software pricing available for the proposed Microsoft
Enterprise Agreement currently held by En Pointe Technologies Sales Inc., 18701 S.
Figueroa St, Gardena, CA 90248, a Nebraska State Contract reseller. This agreement is
for a term of 36 months beginning July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019 and is payable in
three annual installments of $93,927.60 for a total of $281,782.80. There is also a
required annual true-up order for additions/changes since the initial order or last true-up
order. The final true-up cost for the contract ending June 2016 is $9,230.52. The
Microsoft Licensing agreement costs are included in the Information Technology
Division budget.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 226 / 239
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the three year Enterprise Agreement of Microsoft licenses.
2.Disapprove or deny the agreement.
3.Modify the Resolution to meet the wishes of the Council.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the new three year Microsoft
licensing agreement for $281,782.80, payable in three installments of $93,927.60 and an
annual true-up order each June to cover added licenses.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the three-year Microsoft Licensing Agreement with En Pointe
Technologies Sales Inc. in the amount of $281,782.80 and required annual true-up orders
each June.

#2016-148 - Consideration of Approving Resolution Regarding
Food and Beverage Funds prior to 7-1-16
Staff Contact: Jerry Janulewicz
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 229 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Approving Use of Surplus Food and Beverage
Occupation Use Tax
Presenter(s):Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Background
Ordinance No. 9315, adopted August 11, 2011, in regards to tax receipts received from
the City’s food services and drinking places occupation privilege tax were designated to
be utilized: (i) To make the City’s required debt payments on the fieldhouse and the
Recreational Field development as required by Grand Island City Code §23-79(A) and
(B). If any surplus remains after meeting these obligations then that surplus shall be
designated; and (ii) To make the City’s quarterly payments to the Nebraska State Fair
Support and Improvement Fund as required by Neb Rev. Stat. §2-108-110. If any surplus
remains after meeting the obligations as stated in Grand Island City Code §23-65(C)(i)
and (ii) then that surplus shall be designated.
Discussion
It is currently estimated after the final payment (June 30, 2016) on the Grand Island
Fieldhouse that we’ll have $1 million in surplus on the food and beverage occupation tax.
Pursuant to the ordinance, we can designate how those funds will be spent. The artificial
turf at the fieldhouse needs changed and we’d also like to pay for design and construction
of restrooms at the Veteran’s Sports Complex. The remaining money will then be
designated to cover future quarterly payments to the Nebraska State Fair for the City’s
match. The surplus funds would also be transferred to a special revenue fund to ensure
they are reserved for payment of these three items.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the resolution designating use of the surplus money.
2.Take no action on the resolution.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 230 / 239
3.Refer to committee.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the designation of the surplus
food and beverage occupation tax money.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution designating the use of the surplus food and beverage
occupation tax money.

#2016-149 - Consideration of Appointment of Robert Falldorf as
Police Chief
Staff Contact: Mayor Jeremy Jensen
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 234 / 239
Council Agenda Memo
From:Mayor Jeremy Jensen
Meeting:June 14, 2016
Subject:Appointment of Robert Falldorf as Police Chief
Presenter(s):Mayor Jeremy Jensen
Background
The provisions of the Nebraska Civil Service Act, §19-1805 to §19-1847, applies to all
present full time police officers of the City of Grand Island and future appointees to such
position including Police Chief. The Civil Service Act and Grand Island City Code §12-2
provides that the Mayor, with the approval of City Council, is the appointing authority for
purposes of selecting, appointing, or employing any person to hold a position or
employment under the Civil Service Act.
A vacancy in the office of Police Chief will exist due to the announced retirement of the
current Police Chief. The Mayor obtained from the City’s Civil Service Commission a
list of candidates for the office of Police Chief and, with respect to such candidates,
considered all relevant factors in the selection of a successor Police Chief as provided by
Nebraska Revised Statute §19-1829. From the list of candidates provided by The Civil
Service Commission, the Mayor selected Robert Falldorf for appointment to the office of
Police Chief subject to approval of the City Council.
Discussion
I am pleased to present Robert Falldorf as my choice for appointment to the Police Chief
position.
Falldorf has spent his entire law enforcement career in Grand Island where he served as a
police officer from 1986 to 1993 for the city of Grand Island Police Department. As a
police officer Falldorf responded to and investigated calls for police service and
represented the department in many programs and functions.
Falldorf was then promoted to a police sergeant and held that position until 2003. As a
police sergeant, Falldorf demonstrated direct supervisory experience in both the uniform
patrol and the investigative function of the police department and provided technical and
administrative direction to police officers while assisting in their professional growth and
development.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/14/2016 Page 235 / 239
Since 2003 Falldorf has served as a police captain for the Grand Island Police
Department. Current duties include management responsibility for crime prevention,
code enforcement, training, records management, budgeting, and victim services. Falldorf
also has management experience in the uniform patrol function of Grand Island’s
municipal police department.
Falldorf earned a bachelor’s degree from Kearney State College in criminal justice and
has a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Nebraska Omaha.
He is also a Federal Bureau of Investigations National Academy graduate.
Falldorf will have a starting salary of $114,247.14 annually and is prepared to start work
on June 20, 2016.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
I recommend the approval of Robert Falldorf as the Police Chief.
Sample Motion
