Easements Located at 602 & 804 W Stolley Park Road
(Grand Island Public Schools)

the attached sketches.

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

#9609 - Consideration of Approving Bond Ordinance for Public
Safety Bond

Council Agenda Memo

Meeting:November 8, 2016
Subject:Approving Public Safety Bond for Financing of 911
Facility and Fire Equipment
Presenter(s):William Clingman, Assistant Finance Director
Blaine Spady, Municipal Capital Advisors
Michael Rogers, Gilmore & Bell, P.C.
Background
The financing of an ambulance and quint fire truck for the Fire Department was
originally approved in the 2016 budget. Financing was reaffirmed as a part of the 2017
budget as the equipment is not scheduled to be delivered until the 2017 fiscal year.
On July 26, 2016 an increase to the City telephone occupation tax was approved to
finance the construction of a new emergency management/911 communications facility.
An amount of $3.4 million was approved in the 2017 budget for financing of this facility.
Discussion
Currently an RFQ is out to find a bond underwriter for the coming year. This RFQ closes
at 4 PM on November 8, 2016. The selected underwriter will market and sell the public
safety bonds and any other bonds through the 2017 year.
The public safety bonds that are to be issued will be done so at a later date when the
underwriter has been selected. The description of the bond issuance to the underwriter in
the RFQ is as follows:
This issue is all new money to finance the building of a new 911 call center and the
purchase of a new ambulance and a new firetruck. The issue will be BQ with a PAR
amount of approximately $4,450,000 with a twenty (20) year term. The City will base the
debt service of the Bond to reflect the shorter term financing of the ambulance and
firetruck, and the longer term financing of the 911 call center. This structure will result
in higher debt service payments during the first ten (10) years of the Bond retiring
approximately $2,590,000 and lower debt service payments in the last ten (10) years of
the Bond retiring approximately $1,860,000.
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 16 / 174
Should any excess funds be available due to savings realized through the design process
for the 911 facility, then those excess funds will be used to purchase equipment related to
public safety.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Take no action or fail to approve the ordinance. This would require using
reserve cash instead of issuing bonds.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the issuance of Bonds in the
not to exceed the amount of $4.55 million.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Ordinance No. 9609 that approves the issuance a Public Safety Bond.

Section 8. Each of the Series 2016 Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the City with the
facsimile signatures of the Mayor and the City Clerk and shall have imprinted thereon the City’s
seal. If the Series 2016 Bonds are sold through a private placement with a bank, the following
provisions relating to the Depository shall not apply. If the Series 2016 Bonds are sold through a
negotiated sale with the Underwriter, the Series 2016 Bonds shall be issued initially as
“book-entry-only” bonds under the services of The Depository Trust Company (the
“Depository”), with one typewritten bond per maturity being issued to the Depository. In such
connection said officers are authorized to execute and deliver a Letter of Representations (the
“Letter of Representations”) in the form required by the Depository (which may be in the form of
a blanket letter, including any such letter previously executed and delivered), for and on behalf
of the City, which shall thereafter govern matters with respect to registration, transfer and
payment of the Series 2016 Bonds. With respect to the issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds as
“book-entry-only” bonds, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) The City and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall have no responsibility or
obligation to any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which the
Depository holds Series 2016 Bonds as securities depository (each, a “Bond Participant”)
or to any person who is an actual purchaser of a Series 2016 Bond from a Bond
Participant while the Series 2016 Bonds are in book-entry form (each, a “Beneficial
Owner”) with respect to the following:
(i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, any nominees of the
Depository or any Bond Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the
Series 2016 Bonds,
(ii) the delivery to any Bond Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any
other person, other than the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Series
2016 Bonds, or
(iii) the payment to any Bond Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any
other person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to the Series
2016 Bonds. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall make payments with respect
to the Series 2016 Bonds only to or upon the order of the Depository or its
nominee, and all such payments shall be valid and effective fully to satisfy and
discharge the obligations with respect to such Series 2016 Bonds to the extent of
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 29 / 174
ORDINANCE NO. 9609
13
the sum or sums so paid. No person other than the Depository shall receive an
authenticated Bond, except as provided in (e) below.
(b) Upon receipt by the Paying Agent and Registrar of written notice from the
Depository to the effect that the Depository is unable or unwilling to discharge its
responsibilities, the Paying Agent and Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange Series
2016 Bonds requested by the Depository in appropriate amounts. Whenever the
Depository requests the Paying Agent and Registrar to do so, the Paying Agent and
Registrar will cooperate with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable
notice (i) to arrange, with the prior written consent of the City, for a substitute depository
willing and able upon reasonable and customary terms to maintain custody of the Series
2016 Bonds or (ii) to make available Series 2016 Bonds registered in whatever name or
names as the Beneficial Owners transferring or exchanging such Series 2016 Bonds shall
designate.
(c) If the City determines that it is desirable that certificates representing the
Series 2016 Bonds be delivered to the ultimate beneficial owners of the Series 2016
Bonds and so notifies the Paying Agent and Registrar in writing, the Paying Agent and
Registrar shall so notify the Depository, whereupon the Depository will notify the Bond
Participants of the availability through the Depository of bond certificates representing
the Series 2016 Bonds. In such event, the Paying Agent and Registrar shall issue,
transfer and exchange bond certificates representing the Series 2016 Bonds as requested
by the Depository in appropriate amounts and in authorized denominations.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so
long as any Series 2016 Bond is registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee
thereof, all payments with respect to such Series 2016 Bond and all notices with respect
to such Series 2016 Bond shall be made and given, respectively, to the Depository as
provided in the Letter of Representations.
(e) Registered ownership of the Series 2016 Bonds may be transferred on the
books of registration maintained by the Paying Agent and Registrar, and the Series 2016
Bonds may be delivered in physical form to the following:
(i) any successor securities depository or its nominee;
(ii) any person, upon (A) the resignation of the Depository from its
functions as depository or (B) termination of the use of the Depository pursuant to
this Section.
If for any reason the Depository is terminated or resigns and is not replaced, the City shall
immediately provide a supply of printed bond certificates, duly executed by manual or facsimile
signatures of the Mayor and City Clerk and sealed with the City’s seal, for issuance upon the
transfers from the Depository and subsequent transfers. In the event that such supply of
certificates shall be insufficient to meet the requirements of the Paying Agent and Registrar for
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 30 / 174
ORDINANCE NO. 9609
14
issuance of replacement certificates upon transfer, the City agrees to order printed an additional
supply of such certificates and to direct their execution by manual or facsimile signatures of its
then duly qualified and acting Mayor and City Clerk and by imprinting thereon or affixing
thereto the City’s seal. In case any officer whose signature or facsimile thereof shall appear on
any Series 2016 Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such bond (including
such certificates delivered to the Paying Agent and Registrar for issuance upon transfer), such
signature or such facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes
the same as if such officer or officers had remained in office until the delivery of such bond. The
Series 2016 Bonds shall not be valid and binding on the City until authenticated by the Paying
Agent and Registrar. The Series 2016 Bonds shall be delivered to the Paying Agent and
Registrar for registration and authentication. Upon execution, registration, and authentication of
the Series 2016 Bonds, they shall be delivered to the City Treasurer, who is authorized to deliver
them to a bank, in the case of a private placement, or to the Underwriter, as initial purchaser
thereof, in the case of a negotiated sale. The Series 2016 Bonds are hereby authorized to be sold
to a bank, in the case of a private placement, or to the Underwriter, in the case of a negotiated
sale, for a sum to be determined in the Designation, plus accrued interest, if any, thereon to date
of payment and delivery. Such purchaser and its agents, representatives and counsel (including
bond counsel for the City) are hereby authorized to take such actions on behalf of the City as are
necessary to effectuate the closing of the issuance and sale of the Series 2016 Bonds, including
without limitation, authorizing the release of the Series 2016 Bonds by the Depository at closing.
The officers of the City (or any one of them) are hereby authorized to execute and deliver a Bond
Purchase Agreement, in the case of a negotiated sale with the Underwriter, or any other form of
purchase agreement or term sheet as may be required in a private placement, for and on behalf of
the City. Said initial purchaser shall have the right to direct the registration of the Series 2016

ORDINANCE NO. 9609
15
Bonds and the denominations thereof within each maturity, subject to the restrictions of this
Ordinance. The City Clerk shall make and certify a transcript of the proceedings of the Mayor
and Council with respect to the Series 2016 Bonds, a copy of which shall be delivered to the
initial purchaser thereof. The officers of the City are further authorized to do any and all things
necessary and appropriate in connection with the issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds.
Section 9. The proceeds of the Series 2016 Bonds shall be applied to the payment of the
costs of the Project as described in Section 1 hereof upon order of the Mayor and Council.
Accrued interest received from the sale of the Series 2016 Bonds, if any, shall be applied to pay
interest first falling due on said Series 2016 Bonds. Expenses of issuance of the Series 2016
Bonds may be paid from the proceeds of the Series 2016 Bonds.
Section 10. The City agrees that it shall, pursuant to Section 18-1201 R.R.S. Neb. 2012,
as amended, levy a special tax so long as any of the Series 2016 Bonds remain outstanding of not
more than 5¢ per $100 of taxable value on all the taxable property within the City. The City
further agrees that such tax shall be levied in such amount so that in each calendar year in which
payments of principal and interest fall due on the Series 2016 Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds,
the anticipated amount to be collected from such tax shall be an amount of not less than 112% of
the total amount of principal and interest payable on the Series 2016 Bonds and the Outstanding
Bonds in such calendar year. The Series 2016 Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds shall be
secured by such tax and shall be payable out of the funds derived from such tax. On receipt of
such taxes, the City Treasurer shall hold such tax in a separate fund for the purpose of paying the
Series 2016 Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds.
Section 11. The City hereby covenants to the purchasers and holders of the Series 2016
Bonds hereby authorized that it will make no use of the proceeds of said bond issue, including
monies held in any sinking fund for the Series 2016 Bonds, which would cause the Series 2016

2016 Bonds. The City hereby designates the Series 2016 Bonds as its “qualified tax-exempt
obligations” pursuant to Section 265(b)(3)(B)(i)(III) of the Code and covenants and warrants that
it does not reasonably expect to issue tax-exempt bonds or other tax-exempt obligations
aggregating in principal amount more than $10,000,000 during calendar 2016, taking into
consideration statutory exceptions for refunding issues and excluding for such purposes any and
all “private activity bonds” issued by the City in such year within the meaning of Section 141 of
the Code other than “qualified 502(c)(3) bonds” as defined in Section 145 of the Code.
Section 12. The City’s obligations under this Ordinance with respect to any or all of the
Series 2016 Bonds herein authorized shall be fully discharged and satisfied as to any or all of
such Series 2016 Bonds and any such Series 2016 Bond shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding hereunder if such Series 2016 Bond has been purchased by the City and canceled or
when the payment of the principal of and interest thereon to the date of maturity (a) shall have
been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof or (b) shall have been
provided for by depositing with a national or state bank having trust powers, or trust company, in

#9610 - Consideration of Approving Ordinance for Financing
related to Food & Beverage Projects such Financing will be Direct
Borrowing from a Financial Institution
Staff Contact: Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 35 / 174
Council Agenda Memo
From:Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Meeting:November 8, 2016
Subject:Consideration of Approving Ordinance for Financing
related to Food & Beverage Projects such Financing will
be Direct Borrowing from a Financial Institution
Presenter(s):William Clingman, Assistant Finance Director
Blaine Spady, Municipal Capital Advisors
Michael Rogers, Gilmore & Bell, P.C.
Background
In May of 2016 the Food & Beverage Occupation Tax was continued by a vote of the
people. One of the primary purposes of this tax is to provide funding for “Ongoing
enhancement and development of recreation and athletic facilities.” During the 2017
budget process the topic of taking on debt and using the food and beverage occupation
tax funds to service such debt was also discussed.
Discussion
In 2015 the Nebraska State Legislature approved LB152 that allows cities to borrow from
“state-chartered or federally chartered financial Institutions” if traditional bond financing
is “impractical.” A drawdown loan was selected as the most practical choice for the
financing of the projects due to the several variables that could impede the use of
traditional bond financing. The primary reasons are:
Financing is for multiple projects
Potential grant funding may reduce the amount needed for some of the projects
Time requirement for spending of traditional bond proceeds
Allows only what is needed during the defined timeframe to be borrowed
Finally, this financing doesn’t specifically authorize any individual project. Each project
will still need to go through the normal procurement process required by City Code and,
when required, be approved via a resolution from the City Council.
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 36 / 174
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Take no action or fail to approve the ordinance. This would require using
reserve cash or slowing down the timeline for projects.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the $5 million draw down
loan from the bank.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Ordinance No. 9610 that approves the Financing related to Food &
Beverage Projects noting such Financing will be Direct Borrowing from a Financial
Institution.

otherwise specified or fixed by this Ordinance, including but not limited to terms of the Note as

be provided in the Designation and such Amortization Period shall begin on next succeeding
day, whether or not a business day, after the end of the Draw-down Period.
(c)The Note shall be subject to redemption at the option of the City prior to the stated
maturities thereof at any time (or on or after such other date as may be determined in the
Designation), as a whole, or in part from time to time in such principal amount and from such
maturity or maturities as the City, in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine, and in the
event that less than all of the Note is to be called for redemption, the portion of the Note to be
redeemed shall be selected by lot, at a redemption price of the amount thereof, together with the
interest accrued on such principal amount to the date fixed for redemption.
If less than all of the principal amount thereof is to be redeemed, in such case upon the
surrender of the Note there shall be issued to the registered owner thereof without charge therefor,

for the then unredeemed balance of the principal amount thereof, a Note of like series, maturity and
interest rates in any of the authorized denominations provided by this Ordinance.
Notice of redemption of the Note stating its designation, date, maturity and principal
amounts shall be given by the Registrar by mailing such notice by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered owners at their
most recent addresses appearing upon the books of registry, but failure to mail such notice shall not
affect the proceedings for redemption. Notice of redemption need not be given to the holder of any
Note, whether registered or not, who has waived notice of redemption. Notice of redemption
having been given as provided above or notice of redemption having been waived by the owners of
Note called for redemption who have not been given such notice as provided above, the Note so
called for redemption shall become due and payable on the designated redemption date. If on or
before the said redemption date funds sufficient to pay the Note so called for redemption at the
applicable redemption price and accrued interest to said date have been deposited or caused to have
been deposited by the City with the Registrar for the purposes of such payment and notice of
redemption thereof has been given or waived as hereinbefore provided, then from and after the
date fixed for redemption interest on such Note so called shall cease to accrue and become payable.
If such funds shall not have been so deposited with the Registrar as provided on or before the date
fixed for redemption, such call for redemption shall be revoked and the Note so called for
redemption shall continue to be outstanding the same as though they had not been so called, and
shall continue to bear interest until paid at such rate as they would have borne had they not been
called for redemption, and shall continue to be protected by this Ordinance and entitled to the
benefits and security hereof.
Section 3. Interest on the Note at the respective rates for each maturity shall be payable
semiannually as provided in the Designation (each of such dates an “Interest Payment Date”) from
the Date of Original Issue or the most recent Interest Payment Date, whichever is later, until
maturity or earlier redemption by check or draft mailed by the Registrar or its successor on such
Interest Payment Date to the registered owner of each Note at such registered owner’s address as it
appears on the Note Register maintained by the Registrar or its successor at the close of business
on the fifteenth day preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Record Date”) subject to the
provisions of the following paragraph. The principal on the Note and the interest due at maturity
or upon redemption prior to maturity is payable in lawful money of the United States of America to
the registered owners thereof upon presentation and surrender of such Note to the Registrar.
In the event that payments of interest due on the Note on an Interest Payment Date are not
timely made, such interest shall cease to be payable to the registered owners as of the Record Date
for such Interest Payment Date and shall be payable to the registered owners of the Note as of a
special date of record for payment of such defaulted interest as shall be designated by the Registrar
whenever moneys for the purpose of paying such defaulted interest become available.
If the date for payment of the principal of or interest on the Note shall be a Saturday,
Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the City of Grand Island, Nebraska,
are authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next
succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which such banking
institutions are authorized to close, and payment on such day shall have the same force and effect
as if made on the nominal date of payment.

Section 4. The Note shall be executed on behalf of the City by the manual or facsimile
signatures of the Mayor and Clerk and shall have the City Seal impressed or imprinted on the Note.
In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Note and
shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the Note, such signature or facsimile shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if he or she had remained in office
until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, the Note shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Ordinance unless and until a certificate of
authentication on the Note has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized
representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Note need not be signed

Section 11. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will make no use of the
proceeds of the Note which would cause the Note to be an arbitrage bond within the meaning of

obligations” pursuant to Section 265(b)(3)(B)(i)(III) of the Code and covenants and warrants that

Item F-3
#9611 - Consideration of Approving Ordinance for Refinancing of
Heartland Event Center
Staff Contact: Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 54 / 174
Council Agenda Memo
From:Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Meeting:November 8, 2016
Subject:Consideration of Approving Ordinance for Refinancing
of Heartland Event Center
Presenter(s):William Clingman, Assistant Finance Director
Blaine Spady, Municipal Capital Advisors
Michael Rogers, Gilmore & Bell, P.C.
Background
The Heartland Event Center (HEC) lease purchase agreement and related bonds were
originally created and issued in 2004. They were subsequently refinanced in 2011.
Currently the lease purchase agreement will be paid off in June of 2025.
Discussion
The refinancing done in 2011 is eligible to be refinanced again. The estimated cost
savings from this refinancing to the City is at least $130,000. The payoff date for the
lease purchase agreement will not be changed as a result of this refinancing.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Take no action or fail to approve the ordinance. This would require continued
payments on the 2011 refinancing.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the refinancing of the
Heartland Event Center debt.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Ordinance No. 9611 that approves the refinancing of HEC.

necessary or appropriate in connection with the Agreement, including causing the Refunded
Bonds to be called for redemption.
Section 4. The Mayor and Council hereby confirm the approval by the City of the

SPECIAL ITEMS:
Presentation and Discussion regarding the Grand Island Fire Department. City Administrator
Marlan Ferguson stated the Mayor and City Council had determined to have a balanced budget
for Fiscal Year 2018. It was the administrations intent to review each department’s operation
activities to determine the level of service provided versus the cost of the service. The Grand
Island Fire Department was the first of several departments to inform the council and public of
what they do.
Fire Chief Cory Schmidt reviewed the history of the Grand Island Fire Department (GIFD). The
fire department was organized in 1874 as a volunteer department. In 1921 GIFD changed from a
volunteer fire department to a paid fire department. In 1980 ALS ambulance services started, in
2000 paramedics were assigned to engine companies, and in 2002 fire stations and crews began
to specialize.
Currently there were 3 shifts which were 24 hours long. There were 21 personnel on each shift
assigned to 4 stations with a minimum personnel staffing of 17 per shift. Total personnel for the
Fire Department were 70. The reason for the 24 hour shifts was to reduce overtime costs and/or
number of personnel.
There were four stations strategically located throughout Grand Island:
Station 1, 409 E. Fonner Park Road (2007)
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 65 / 174
Page 2, City Council Study Session, November 1, 2016
Station 2, 1720 North Broadwell Avenue (1956)
Station 3, 2310 South Webb Road (1987)
Station 4, 3690 West State Street (1996)
Chief Schmidt explained the personnel changes over the years. In 1985-87 they added 6
firefighters when Station #3 opened. Another 9 firefighters were added in 1996 when Station #4
was opened and in 2000 they added 6 firefighters. Discussion was held concerning the number of
employees over the last 10 years. In 2006 there were 69 employees.
Response times were reviewed with the average travel time of 3:34 for Fire and 2:57 for EMS.
Explained was the rolling stock which included 7 ambulances and 7 fire/pumper trucks. The
vehicle replacement plan for fire engines was 20 years of total service; aerials – 25 year service
life; and ambulances – purchase one every other year, the goal was to have units not older than
14 years. Chief Schmidt stated they would need a fire engine within 3 years and an ambulance
every other year.
There were three major divisions – Fire Operations and Training; Emergency Medical Services
(EMS); and Fire Prevention, each under a Division Chief. Division Chief Tim Heimer explained
the Fire Operations and Training division which consisted of fire suppression, hazardous
materials, technical rescue, severe weather response, aircraft rescue and firefighting, medical
responses (including vehicle accidents), service calls, public education, structure fires, motor
vehicle crashes, automatic alarms, vehicle and grass fires, and medical calls. Training and
recruiting were explained.
Division Chief Russ Blackburn explained the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) paramedic
and EMT training. Explained were types of calls such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, severe
trauma, stroke, and ST segment elevation myocardial infraction along with response times.
Discussion was held concerning private ambulances and staffing.
Division Chief Fred Hotz explained the Fire Prevention Division which consisted of code
enforcement, arson investigations, and public education. He commented on the importance of
fire prevention and the difference it makes. Explained was what they don’t inspect, such as
single and two family dwellings, multifamily residential property if no commons areas are under
11 units, buildings and structures on private residential property. What they do inspect are
commercial buildings new and existing which includes: factories, mercantile stores, businesses,
body shops, malls, restaurants, strip malls, hospitals, adult care, health care, child care, home
child care, state fairgrounds, etc.
Mentioned were inspections of health facilities, liquor licensures, corrections facilities, and
underground storage tanks which were delegated by the State Fire Marshal’s office. In 2015 the
Fire Department collected $92,000 in permits such as commercial buildings to build and/or
occupy, new occupancy permits in existing buildings, open burning, and fireworks
stands/trailers. This division also does arson investigation, public education, and fire prevention
education in the public schools.

Chief Schmidt stated the Insurance Services Office (ISO) evaluates fire departments and helps
determine the fire insurance premiums for property owners in the department’s jurisdiction.
Currently GIFD has a rate of 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. The next scheduled evaluation was
November 29, 2016.
The following issues for a volunteer fire department were mentioned:
Recruitment and retention is very difficult
Availability of volunteers during business hours
Number of personnel available can vary
Amount of time required substantial
Level of proficiency is hard to maintain
Trend in Nebraska, as cities grow, they tend to transition from volunteer to career
departments
Response times are critical
Insurance rates
Reviewed were the personnel and operating budgets. Due to minimum staffing, terms of
contract, rising insurance costs, and increased call volume in the personnel budget it made cost
reduction difficult. Covered was the increased call volume since 2011. In order to meet future
demands there was a need to staff an additional ALS ambulance.
Presented were cost recovery options such as fees for service, increased EMS transports, and the
contract with Hall County which currently was $196,200.
Discussion was held regarding the number of calls for EMS for each station. Station #4 calls
were growing, but most of the EMS calls came out of Station #2. Comments were made
concerning cost recovery such as long distance transfers, 24 hour shifts, peak staffing, and billing
collection rates.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:18 p.m.

#2016-271 - Approving the Purchase of a 2017 Motor Grader for
the Utilities Department
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 88 / 174
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:November 8, 2016
Subject:Approving Purchase of a 2017 Motor Grader for Platte
Generating Station
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Maintenance staff for the Utilities Generation and Water Production maintains the
gravel roads at Platte Generating Station, Burdick Station, the Wellfield, and water
pumping sites. The total of these sites have over 16 miles of gravel roads. The
Maintenance staff is also responsible for snow removal of these gravel roads, as well as
emergency snow removal of Wildwood Drive between Highway 281 and South Locust.
Wildwood Drive will drift shut, and must be cleared during each shift change for the
continued operation of Platte and Burdick Generating Stations and maintain access to the
water pumping facilities.
The current model is a 1962 Grader acquired used from the Street Department many
years ago. This unit has provided many years of service, but it is becoming more difficult
to get parts for repairs. During the major snow storm of 2016, the unit broke down while
clearing snow.
The new 2017 Caterpillar Model 12M3 Motor Grader will have increased power and a
heavy duty multi-directional dozer/snow plow blade for the front.
Discussion
The City of Grand Island City Council approved the use of the National Joint Powers
Alliance Buying Group (NJPA) in 2014, with Resolution 2014-326. To meet competitive
bidding requirements, the Utilities Department obtained pricing from the NJPA Contract
No. 032515 awarded to Caterpillar.
Utilities Department staff is recommending the purchase of the Motor Grader from
Nebraska Machinery Company (NMC Cat) in the amount of $285,353.00. An amount of
$350,000.00 was approved in the 2015-2016 FY budget for this purchase.
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 89 / 174
The current 1962 grader will be disposed of through an online auction site.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that Council approve the purchase of a new Motor
Grader from NMC Cat for a purchase price of $285,353.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the purchase of a new Motor Grader from NMC Cat for a purchase
price of $285,353.00.

#2016-275 - Approving Skid Steer Buy-Back for Streets Division
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 107 / 174
Council Agenda Memo
From:Shannon Callahan, Street Superintendent
Meeting:November 8, 2016
Subject:Approving Skid Steer Buy-Back for Streets Division
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Streets Division currently owns two skid steers; one compact track loader and one
rubber tire skid steer. The compact track loader is a front line machine for the Streets
Division’s concrete repair crew that is primarily used for concrete removal (sawing,
hammering, and excavating). The tracks on the machine make it ideal for cleaning
detention cells and performing dirt work during the winter months. This unit has a
number of attachments that allow it to be used for other functions like loading trees and
mowing. It is one of the most versatile and heavily used pieces of equipment that is
owned by the Streets Division.
The rubber tire skid steer is used mainly for asphalt roadway patching. The equipment
clears and loads millings from sections of roadway in preparation for new hot-mix
asphalt.
In November of 2014, the City Council approved the purchase of a new compact track
loader and future participation in a buyback program with Central Nebraska Bobcat of
Grand Island, NE. The Buyback program gives the City an opportunity to own a new
machine, at minimal cost, each year lowering the risk of down time for a key piece of
equipment and reducing equipment maintenance costs. The details of the approved
buyback program are attached.
Examples of Compact Track Loaders
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 108 / 174
This year the Streets Division is proposing upgrading the rubber tire skid steer to a
compact track loader. There are two reasons for this change in equipment specifications.
First, the rubber tire skid steer is used by the Asphalt crew the majority of the time and
this past summer we had several issues with the tires on the new asphalt patches, either
the tires were popping (causes crew downtime) or marring the asphalt – a track machine
will alleviate these issues.
Secondly, the use of two track machines in the winter is more efficient for cleaning and
mowing detention cells. Last winter $2,500 was spent for rental of an additional compact
track loader to assist this winter work but the upgrade would eliminate the need for a
rental machine. Typically a compact track loader rental is one month or 50 hours, which
ever happens first. This is an average cost of $50/hour compared to the cost on our
machine at $11/hour.
Discussion
Skid Steer A – Compact Track Loader trading for same:
The purchase price of a new compact track loader is $49,190.67 with an estimated trade-
in value of $43,330.31 for the old unit; net purchase price for the new compact track
loader would be $5,860.36. This price is based on 450 hours of use on the current
compact track loader which may vary slightly at time of delivery. The breakdown
calculation of cost based on the buyback program is below.
T650 T4 Bobcat Compact Track Loader
Cost of Use
$11/HR @ 450 HRS $4,950.00
New Machine Price Increase $910.36
Net Purchase Price $5,860.36
Skid Steer B – Rubber Tire Skid Steer trading for Compact Track Loader:
The purchase price of a new compact track loader is $45,326.58 with an estimated trade-
in value of $31,694.12 for the old unit; net purchase price for the new compact track
loader would be $13,632.46. This price is based on 250 hours of use on the current skid
steer which may vary slightly at time of delivery. The breakdown calculation of cost
based on the buyback program is below.
S570 T4 Bobcat Skid Steer Loader
Cost of Use
$8/HR @ 250 HRS $2,000.00
Upgraded, New Machine Price Increase $11,632.46
Net Purchase Price $13,632.46
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 109 / 174
The Skid Steer B cost for a new machine price increase will be significantly less next
year and our trade-in will have a higher value. The above price breakdown reflects the
cost to upgrade to a skid steer with tracks.
Public Works staff is recommending the participation in Bobcat’s buyback program and
the purchase of One (1) New Compact Track Loader for $49,190.67 with a trade-in value
of $43,330.31 for a net purchase price of $5,860.36 and One (1) New Compact Track
Loader for $45,326.58 with a trade-in value of $31,694.12 for a net purchase price of
$13,632.46.

#2016-277 - Approving Purchase of a New Asphalt Roller for the
Streets Division of the Public Works Department
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 115 / 174
Council Agenda Memo
From:Shannon Callahan, Street Superintendent
Meeting:November 8, 2016
Subject:Approving Purchase of a New Asphalt Roller for the
Streets Division of the Public Works Department
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Streets Division performs a great deal of asphalt patching during construction season
to maintain the asphalt roads in good condition. The last few years, Streets has averaged a
placement of over 3,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt per season. The quality of the patches
dictates how long they will hold up to traffic and extreme weather conditions. The most
important criteria of placing asphalt is compaction; proper compaction and smoothness is
achieved with a steel drum, vibratory roller.
Streets currently uses a 2005 Dynapac Roller with
approximately 785 hours. The roller is a key component
is Streets asphalt program and downtime should be
limited as much as possible. The steel drums have divots
and scars from heavy use which are decreasing the
quality of the hot-mix asphalt patches. The divets and
scars are mostly from rolling in cold-mix patches in the
winter in which patching takes place on both concrete
and asphalt streets.
If a new roller purchase is approved, the existing roller will continue being used for
rolling in cold-mix patches in the winter to avoid this type of wear and tear on the new
machine.
Discussion
The Streets Division has funds budgeted in the 2016-2017 fiscal year for a new steel
drum, vibratory roller. In 2013, The Grand Island City Council approved the use of the
Huston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) with Resolution 2013-193.
To meet competitive bidding requirements, the Streets Division obtained contract pricing
from HGAC Contract No. SM10-16 awarded to 4 Rivers Equipment LLC of Fort Collins,
CO.
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 116 / 174

STREET-SMART COMPACT TANDEM ROLLERS
QUIETER THAN EVER
ON THE SURFACE
All three double-drum models feature vibration and
drive on both drums. A large drum diameter makes
them
especially effective on soft asphalt. The optimum ratio
of drum diameter to static linear load reduces the risk
of cracks.
All models in the series are perfect for urban areas,
streets and roads. The CC1300 is also suitable for
compacting subbases and bases and has the capacity
to follow a paver.
IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT
An optional sideways sliding seat and operator-friendly
dual front and reverse controls improve visibility for
better control and better compaction. The ample clear-
ance at the edge of the drums makes this true even
close to high curbs.
The series features a new control panel and low
noise and vibration levels to reduce operator fatigue. A
low center of gravity keeps the machines stable, and
sturdy handgrips and steps enable safe boarding.
An interlock system prevents the engine from acci-
dentally starting. An automatic brake lock is applied if
the engine stops or if there is a problem in the hydrau-
lic or electric brake circuits.
EASE OF MAINTENANCE
Three separate filters in the sprinkler water system ensure
no clogged sprinkler nozzles. The entire system can be
drained easily without special tools. Filters for hydraulic
fluid, engine oil and fuel are easily accessible.
Modularity is a cornerstone when it comes to building
Dynapac rollers, which are built from many existing com-
mon parts. This means parts are easily accessible and
readily available, which reduces equipment downtime.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTIVITY
Dynapac develops and manufactures products with the
goal of sustainability: low operating costs and long-last-
ing quality equipment that creates high-quality results
for the companies who use Dynapac. These articulated
small tandem asphalt rollers are no exception.
The rollers are powered by a water-cooled Kubota diesel
engine. The Dynapac CC1100 and CC1200 feature a
35 hp engine, while the CC1300 features a 45 hp en-
gine. The low noise level benefits the operator and the
surroundings, especially during night work.
Long service intervals mean fewer oil changes and less
money spent on routine maintenance. The corrosion-free
water tanks are made of impact-resistant and recyclable
polyethylene plastic. As an option, the machines can be
equipped with biodegradable hydraulic oil.
DYNAPAC’S SERIES OF ARTICULATED COMPACT TANDEM ROLLERS – the Dynapac
CC1100, CC1200 and CC1300 – are designed for compaction on city streets where size
and noise matter most. The series has an operating weight of 2.4 metric tons to 4 metric
tons and is available with double steel vibratory drums or one vibration drum and four
static rubber tires - a combi version. All models feature design improvements and an en-
gine that is quieter than ever.
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 120 / 174

QUIETER THAN EVER
The rubber tires are operated in pairs
by separate drive motors.
ALL MODELS AVAILABLE AS COMBI VERSION
The combi rollers reduce the risk of
marring newly laid asphalt when making
sharp turns.
Hydraulic fluid, engine oil and
fuel system filters are easy to
reach and easy to change. Long
service intervals means less
downtime.
The corrosion-free and
impact-resistant water
tank is made of recyclable
material. Large opening
for easy filling.
Easily drained sprinkler
system. No special
tools required.
Safety interlock to prevent
accidents — The operator
must be in the seat before
the engine will start.
Ergonomic
F/R handle.
Silent, water-
cooled diesel
engine.
Automatic brake lock if the
engine stops or if there is
a problem in the hydraulic
or electric brake circuits.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL - THE BASE OF PERFECTION
Silent and powerful water-cooled Kubota diesel engine. The large
easy-to-open engine hood contributes to great accessibility.
The water tank has a large opening for easy filling.
Pressurized sprinkler system with a powerful water pump
and self-draining sprinkler tubes and nozzles.
Fail-safe brakes on both drums (or drum + combi wheels),
which apply automatically in the event of a failure in the
engine, hydraulics or an electrical fault in the brake system.
Sturdy handgrips and ergonomic steps enable safe boarding.High clearance of the edge of the drums facilitates compac-
tion close to high curbstones. Excellent view over the drum
edges for better control and compaction results.

On February 10, 2015, by Resolution No. 2015-38 City Council approved Change Order No. 1,
which allowed for additional work days on both Sanitary Sewer District No. 528 & 530T due to
inclement weather, problems with dewatering, and subcontractor construction issues that

monetary cost to the City.
On March 24, 2015, by Resolution No. 2015-75 City Council approved Change Order No. 2
which authorized two (2) locations; Guenther Road and 1,000 feet south of Guenther Road, to
change from direct borings to open cuts at each location. This change resulted in a net credit of
$47,507.46, for a revised contact amount of $3,326,611.24.
On June 9, 2016, by Resolution No. 2015-145 City Council approved Change Order No. 3 which
allowed for additional work days for Sanitary Sewer District No. 530T, and was no additional
monetary cost to the City.
On March 8, 2016, by Resolution No. 2016-48 City Council approved Change Order No. 4 to
consolidate final quantities and extra items encountered during the construction projects. This
change order resulted in an overall increase of $124,202.98, for a revised total contract amount
of $3,450,814.22.
This project extended sanitary sewer to Wildwood Subdivision, as well as south along US
Highway 281 to Interstate 80.

2015 and August 12, 2015 for Sanitary Sewer District No. 528 and 530T respectively. Final

#2016-283 - Approving Amendment to Library Personnel FTE
Budget Allocation
Staff Contact: Steve Fosselman
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 157 / 174
Council Agenda Memo
From:Grand Island Public Library Board
Meeting:November 8, 2016
Subject:Approving Amendment to Library Personnel FTE
Budget Allocation
Presenter(s):Steve Fosselman, Library Director
Background
Librarian Kathleen Nonneman will be retiring this December and so the Grand Island
Public Library has undertaken a review of the best means to fill this opening. The library
has concluded that filling within the Library Assistant I & II line of the Library Personnel
FTE Budget Allocation will be more cost-effective, better suits library service needs at
this time, and provides adequate continuity of service. This change doesn’t increase the
library’s total FTE’s, but since the City Council-approved budget authorizes allocations
for various library personnel classifications, an amendment to the Library Personnel FTE
Budget Allocation is necessary.
Discussion
This changes the Library Personnel FTE Budget Allocation as follows:
Personnel Classification Budgeted Revised Net Change
Librarian I & II 3.0 FTE 2.0 FTE - 1.00 FTE
Library Assistant I & II 15.0 FTE 16.0 FTE + 1.00 FTE
Budget saving by this action is estimated at least $18,000.
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 - 11/8/2016 Page 158 / 174
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve this amendment to the Library
Personnel FTE Budget Allocation.
Sample Motion
Move to approve this amendment to the Library Personnel FTE Budget Allocation.

WHEREAS, the Grand Island Public Library has undertaken a review of the best means
to fill an employment opening due to the retirement of a Librarian I and has concluded that
hiring within the Library Assistant I/II line of the Library Personnel FTE Budget Allocation will
be more cost-effective, better suits library service needs at this time and provides adequate
continuity of service; and
WHEREAS, this change doesn’t increase the library’s total FTE’s, but involves changes
to classification allocations within the library’s FTE budget; and
WHEREAS, the City Council-approved budget authorizes allocations for various library
personnel classifications; and
WHEREAS, an amendment to the Library Personnel FTE Budget Allocation is necessary
to allow for a net reduction of 1.00 FTE in the Librarian I and II classifications and a net increase
of 1.00 FTE in the Library Assistant I and II classifications.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the Council approves this amendment to the Library

#2016-284 - Approving Purchase of 2017 Police Fleet Vehicle
Staff Contact: Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 161 / 174
Council Agenda Memo
From:Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Meeting:November 8, 2016
Subject:2017 Police Fleet Vehicle Purchase
Presenter(s):Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Background
The Police Department has $133,000 budgeted in Capital expenditures for the purchase
of five (5), vehicles. Four (4) of these vehicles for the Patrol fleet were already approved
for purchase at the 10-25-16 City Council meeting from Anderson Ford Group for a total
of $113,736. The state contract just came out for this request to purchase our fifth
vehicle, a 2017 Chevrolet Impala from Sid Dillon Chevrolet of Wahoo, Nebraska for
$20,433. This vehicle will be added to our fleet as an unmarked vehicle for use in our
Criminal Investigation Division.
Discussion
The Police Department has $133,000 budgeted in Capital Outlay for the purchase of five
(5) fleet vehicles in the FY 2017 budget. Approval was already authorized at the 10-25-
16 City Council meeting to purchase four (4) of the five (5) fleet vehicles from the State
of Nebraska contract for a total of $113,736. This would leave $19,264 in the Capital
Outlay Vehicle line item to apply toward the purchase of our fifth vehicle.
The State of Nebraska contract, 14632 (OC), just came out for the purchase request of
our fifth vehicle, a 2017 Chevrolet Impala from Sid Dillon Chevrolet of Wahoo,
Nebraska for the amount of $20,433. In consideration for the approval for purchase of
this fifth vehicle, this would place us $1,169 short in our Capital Outlay Vehicle line item
to make this purchase. It is the intent of the Police Department to still seek approval for
this purchase, knowing that we will have more than enough excess budget authority from
unspent money in other line items when considering our total budget at the end of FY
2017.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
Grand Island Council Session - 11/8/2016 Page 162 / 174

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 purchase of One (1) 2017
Chevrolet Impala vehicle at the cost of $20,433 under State contract from Sid Dillon
Chevrolet, Wahoo, Nebraska.
Sample Motion
Move to purchase One (1) 2017 Chevrolet Impala vehicle at the cost of $20,433 under
State contract from Sid Dillon Chevrolet, Wahoo, Nebraska.
