Subject:Public Hearing on Request from Kinkaider Brewing Co.,

for a Class “CK” Liquor License
Presenter(s):RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Background
Section 4-2 of the Grand Island City Code declares the intent of the City Council
regarding liquor licenses and the sale of alcohol.
Declared Legislative Intent
It is hereby declared to be the intent and purpose of the city council in adopting
and administering the provisions of this chapter:
(A)To express the community sentiment that the control of availability of alcoholic
liquor to the public in general and to minors in particular promotes the public
health, safety, and welfare;
(B)To encourage temperance in the consumption of alcoholic liquor by sound and
careful control and regulation of the sale and distribution thereof; and
(C)To ensure that the number of retail outlets and the manner in which they are
operated is such that they can be adequately policed by local law enforcement
agencies so that the abuse of alcohol and the occurrence of alcohol-related crimes
and offenses is kept to a minimum.
Discussion
Kinkaider Brewing Co., LLC dba Kinkaider Brewing Co., 316 North Pine Street has
submitted an application for a Class “CK” Liquor License. A Class “CK” Liquor License
allows for the sale of alcohol on and off sale inside the corporate limits of the city along

Commission for issuance of all licenses. This application has been reviewed by the Clerk,
Building, Fire, Health, and Police Departments. See attached Police Department report.

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.

Brewing Co., 316 North Pine Street for a Class “CK” Liquor License contingent upon
final inspections and Liquor Manager Designation for Delene Dilsaver, 1410 13th Street,

Public Hearing on Request from Harold Rosenkotter and Deborah

at 3204 South Shady Bend Road

Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 21 / 210
Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:March 28, 2017
Subject:Request of Harold Rosenkotter & Deborah Spaulding for
Approval of a Conditional Use Permit to Allow for the
Construction of a New Single Family Dwelling while
Occupying the Existing Dwelling at 3204 S. Shady Bend
Road
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
This request is for approval of a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of a
new single family dwelling while continuing to occupy the existing dwelling on the site.
The property is currently zoned LLR, Large Lot Residential, and is approximately 12
acres in size. City code provides that only one principal building shall be permitted on
one zoning lot.
Discussion
To facilitate this request City Council approval of a temporary use is necessary. Approval
will allow the owners to occupy the existing dwelling during construction of a new
dwelling and allow the Building Department to issue a building permit for the new
dwelling while the existing dwelling remains during the construction process. After the
new dwelling is completed and a certificate of occupancy issued the existing dwelling is
proposed to be removed. The proposed construction is anticipated to take up to a year to
complete and allowing 60 to 90 days to remove the existing dwelling an expiration date
for the conditional use permit appears reasonable for April 15, 2019 or within 90 days
after a certificate of occupancy is issued for the new dwelling.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 22 / 210
1.Approve the request for the conditional use permit finding that the proposed
application is and will continue to be in conformance with the purpose of the
zoning regulations.
2.Disapprove or Deny the request, finding that the proposed application does
not conform to the purpose of the zoning regulations.
3.Approve the request with additional or revised conditions and a finding of
fact.
4.Refer the matter to a special committee for a determination of a finding of
fact.
5.Table the issue.
Recommendation
Approve the request for a temporary use allowing a building permit to be issued and two
principal buildings on the site for the time specified.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the request to allow construction of a single family dwelling with the
existing dwelling to remain until April 15, 2019 or until 90 days after a certificate of
occupancy is issued for the new dwelling, whichever occurs first.

Item E-3
Public Hearing on Request from Central Nebraska Transload I,
LLC for a Conditional Use Permit to Allow for a

Council action will take place under Requests and Referrals item H-2.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:March 28, 2014
Subject:Conditional Use Permit for Use as Chemical Warehouse
and Distribution Facility at 1213-1215 &1221 East
Highway #30
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
This is a request of Central Nebraska Transload l, LLC for the approval of a conditional
use permit to operate a chemical, industrial, nonhazardous, wholesale facility at the above
referenced address. A three year temporary use for a chemical warehouse and distribution
facility was approved on March 11, 2014 to facilitate the operation during construction of
the permanent buildings. The property is currently zoned M-2 Heavy Manufacturing. The
zoning classification requires chemicals, industrial, nonhazardous, wholesale uses to
come before the City Council and receive approval in the form of a conditional use
permit. This request is for a permanent facility and would not have an expiration defined.
Discussion
The City code does identify as an authorized conditional use a chemical, industrial,
nonhazardous, wholesale facility. This request is to warehouse chemicals in railcar
tankers on site and then transfer the chemical to truck tankers for distribution to
customers. Currently two to four railcar tankers of Sodium Hydroxide and three to six
railcar tankers of Sulfuric Acid per month is stored and trans-loaded. The Fire
Department has reviewed this proposal and would recommend approval with the
conditions that the operations and storage comply with the requirements of Fire Codes
and NFPA life safety codes.
As a condition to this approval it appears prudent that any modification in the chemicals
or the amounts stored would need to be approved by the Fire Department prior to
implementation. The operation shall submit and maintain a listing of the products and
quantities proposed, including documentation identifying the characteristics of the
products distributed. (MSDS).
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 31 / 210
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the request with the proposed conditions, finding that the proposed
application is and will continue to be in conformance with the purpose of the
zoning regulations.
2.Disapprove or Deny the request, finding that the proposed application does
not conform to the purpose of the zoning regulations.
3.Approve the request with additional or revised conditions and a finding of
fact.
4.Refer the matter to a special committee for a determination of a finding of
fact.
Recommendation

and is generally harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood.
Sample Motion

Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:March 28, 2017
Subject:Request of Brain & Cathryn Sack for Approval of a
Conditional Use Permit to Allow for the Operation of an
Outdoor Used Automobile Sales Facility at 703 West 3rd
Street
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis – Building Department Director
Background
This request is for approval of a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of an
outdoor used automobile sales facility at the above referenced location.
The property is currently zoned B-3 Heavy Business Zone, that zoning classification
requires the approval of the City Council in the form of a conditional use permit.
City Code;
Section 36-70 (B-3) Heavy Business Zone.
(B) Conditional Uses:
(2). Outdoor sales and rental lots for new or used automobiles, boats,
motor vehicles, trailers, manufactured homes, farm and construction machinery.
The B-3 zoning classification is generally within the Downtown Business area and as
such requires City Council approval of automobile sales lots.
Discussion
This request is for approval of a used automobile sale lot on a location within the defined
Downtown Business Area. The Conditional use approval process allows for a public
hearing and conditions to be placed upon the facility if City Council deems appropriate.
City code section 36-105 also identifies requirements on all vehicle sales locations which
would be applicable to this site.
(A) All areas on which vehicles are displayed and offered for sale and/or rental shall be
provided with a permanent type, dust-free surface such as asphaltic cement concrete,
Portland cement concrete, or paving brick.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 36 / 210
(B) Any business engaged in vehicle sales and/or rentals shall have a principal building
which complies with the Grand Island City Code and all applicable building, electrical,
plumbing and fire codes.
(C) Any business engaged in vehicle sales and/or rentals shall have space within the
principal building or an accessory building for storage of all vehicle parts, new or used.
All such parts must be stored within said space.
(D) All hazardous materials, regulated waste and used vehicle fluids shall be stored and
disposed of in accordance with state and federal laws and the rules and regulations of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Nebraska Department of Environmental
Quality. Tank storage of fluids and wastes must be situated within a suitable overflow
enclosure.
(E) Any business engaged in vehicle sales and /or rentals shall comply with the Grand
Island City Code landscaping and screening regulations and minimum off-street parking
and loading space requirements prior to commencing operations.
The location of this proposal is such that it would not appear that this request will have
any negative impact on the neighboring properties.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the request for the conditional Use Permit finding that the proposed
application is and will continue to be in conformance with the purpose of the
zoning regulations.
2.Disapprove or /Deny the request, finding that the proposed application does
not conform to the purpose of the zoning regulations.
3.Approve the request with additional or revised conditions and a finding of
fact.
4.Refer the matter to a special committee for a determination of a finding of
fact.
5.Table the issue.
Recommendation
Approve the conditional use permit, finding that the request does promote health, safety,
and general welfare of the community, protects property against blight and depreciation,
and is generally harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the request for a conditional use permit including the staff
recommendations, finding that the application conforms with the purpose of the zoning
regulations.

Presenter(s):Dave Taylor, EDC President
Background
The voters of the City of Grand Island approved an economic development plan at the

committee looks forward to receiving and reviewing meritorious applications for
consideration in the future. The committee received the semi-annual report from the
Economic Development Corporation at its meeting of March 2, 2017 and voted to
forward it on to the City Council for its review and acceptance.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Accept the annual report of the Citizen Advisory Review Committee.
2.Do not accept the annual report of the Citizen Advisory Review Committee.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 44 / 210

A major inspection and overhaul of the turbine generator at the Platte Generating Station
is performed every five years. The next overhaul is scheduled for the fall of this year.
During the 2012 turbine overhaul, it was recommended that the L-O buckets be replaced
at the next major overhaul due to progressive erosion and thinning. Recent inspections
have verified the need to replace the buckets.

accordance with the City Purchasing Code. Bids were publicly opened on February 14,
2017. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $450,000.00.

Bids were reviewed by plant engineering staff. The low bid from EthosEnergy is
compliant with specifications and less than the engineer’s estimate.

Meeting Date:March 28, 2017
Subject: Fire Water Tank Interior Painting at Platte Generating
Station
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Platte Generating Station has a single, aboveground, one million gallon water storage
tank that provides service to the power plant’s fire protection systems. The entire internal
structure of the tank needs to be repainted to maintain the integrity and life of the tank. A
bypass line was installed in past years to allow a direct feed of well water to the fire
protection pumps while the tank is out of service, providing a reduced level of protection.
The tank is scheduled to be repainted during the fall outage when fire hazards are
significantly reduced.
Discussion
Specifications for the Fire Water Tank Interior Painting at Platte Generating Station were
advertised and issued for bid in accordance with the City Purchasing Code. Bids were
publicly opened on February 28, 2017. The engineer’s estimate for this project was
$300,000.00.

Allen Blasting & Coating, Inc., Wever, IA $309,074.00

their firm is an Option 2 Contractor, which maintains a tax-paid inventory and will not
collect sales tax when billing. Their bid is compliant with specifications and less than the
engineer’s estimate.

#2017-85 - Approving Change Order #1 - Auxiliary Boiler Re-tube
at Platte Generating Station
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 97 / 210
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:March 28, 2017
Subject: Change Order #1 – Auxiliary Boiler Re-tube at Platte
Generating Station
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Cleaver Brooks auxiliary boiler at the Platte Generating Station was installed during
the original construction of the plant to provide building heat. Since the plant went into
service in 1982, it has continued to serve as an emergency backup for building heat in the
event of freezing conditions occurring when the main boiler is offline. The auxiliary
boiler has developed numerous tube leaks and leaking tube joints at the steam drum,
requiring extensive repairs consisting of a replacing the boiler tubes, casing, insulation
and refractory.
On December 13, 2016, Council awarded the contract to Rasmussen Mechanical Services
in the amount of $310,309.00.
Discussion
During the cleaning of the auxiliary boiler drum baffle plates, Rasmussen Mechanical
Services discovered significant corrosion. Rasmussen Mechanical Services is will
provide replacement baffle plates for the auxiliary boiler at a cost of $16,495.00. The
installation of the baffles is already part of the scope. As a result, this contract change
order will add an additional $16,495.00 for a total contract cost of $326,804.00.
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
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 98 / 210
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends authorizing Change Order #1 with Rasmussen
Mechanical Services of Council Bluffs, Iowa, for the Platte Generating Station Auxiliary
Boiler Re-tube, for an addition to the contract price of $16,495.00.
Sample Motion
Motion to approve Change Order #1 from Rasmussen Mechanical Services in the amount
of $16,495.00 for the Platte Generating Station Auxiliary Boiler Re-tube.

Item G-7
#2017-86 - Approving Kriz-Davis as the Sole Source Provider of
AMI Electric Meters
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 103 / 210
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:March 28, 2017
Subject: Consideration of Approving Kriz-Davis as the Sole Source
Provider of AMI Electric Meters
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Approximately four years ago the Utilities Department began an Automated Metering
Infrastructure (AMI) pilot project. AMI allows the department to obtain metering data
remotely typically through a proprietary communications system based upon the metering
manufacturer. In addition there are a number of other benefits such as outage
notification, meter tampering alarms and remote connection and disconnection. The
department obtained proposals from several AMI manufacturers and chose the Landis &
Gyr system.
Discussion
The ultimate goal of converting all of the electric meters to AMI meters is many years
off. However, the necessary communications infrastructure has been installed to cover
all areas of the City. This gives the department flexibility to install an AMI meter
anywhere in the City.
The Utilities Department has begun installing AMI meters when power is disconnected
due to lack of payment. This enables customers to be re-connected remotely once
payment is received without the need of dispatching a crew. Additionally, new
developments and new apartment complexes are good locations to install AMI meters
due to the density and sometimes transient nature of the accounts. With the number of
developments and apartment complexes under construction as well as a relatively steady
stream of disconnections, the ability to purchase large quantities of meters is required and
additional discounts may be obtained when purchasing larger quantities.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 104 / 210
Due to the proprietary nature of the communications system used, Landis & Gyr electric
meters are required, and Kriz-Davis is the sole supplier of these meters to Nebraska
public power utilities.
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 the Council approve Kriz-Davis as the Sole Source
provider of AMI electric meters.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Kriz-Davis as the Sole Source provider of AMI electric meters.

Subject:Approving Bid Award for Lift Station No. 20 Upgrade and
Force Main Rehabilitation & Lift Station No. 14 Abandonment;
Project No. 2017-S-1
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On February 2, 2017 the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department advertised for
bids for Lift Station No. 20 Upgrade and Force Main Rehabilitation & Lift Station No. 14
Abandonment; Project No. 2017-S-1.
Currently Lift Station No. 20 pumps an average of 220,000 gallons per day. In order to
accommodate future growth to handle a daily flow rate of over 1 million gallons a day, upgrades to
this lift station are necessary. The existing force main from Lift Station No. 20 is also in need of
replacement and or repair due to poor pipe condition. The force main has experienced multiple
breaks within the past several years.
The City is able to cost effectively eliminate Lift Station No. 14 and abandon in place the existing
force main. The existing force main runs west from Lift Station No. 14 for approximately 1,750
linear feet to City manhole 102 in Custer Avenue.
Discussion
Three (3) bids were received and opened on March 1, 2017. The Engineering Division of the
Public Works Department and the Purchasing Division of the City’s Attorney’s Office have
reviewed the bids that were received. A summary of the bids is shown below.

The Streets Division currently has two needs, a new salt truck and a new 5 CY Dump
Truck. In an effort to use funds efficiently the re-use of a dump truck chassis is being
proposed. If approved, a new 5 CY dump truck will be purchased and the currently
owned 5 CY dump truck cab/chassis will be repurposed as a replacement salt truck.
Fleet Services has successfully partnered with the Streets Division to install two new salt
spreader bodies on existing chassis in the past few years. In these cases, the chassis were
already being used as full-time salt trucks but the spreader boxes were rusted to the point
that they were no longer working properly and the downtime was affecting ice control
response times.
The cab/chassis for a 5 CY dump truck and a salt truck are the same size and wheelbase.
Therefore, the cab/chassis of a currently owned dump truck can be re-used for a salt
truck. This rotation will save the City from purchasing a new dump truck one year and a
new salt truck the next year (or vice versa) for potential savings of about $60,000.00. It
will also eliminate exposing a new chassis to the harsh corrosion conditions that occur
during summer storage of the salt truck.
The first transitional step is the purchase of a new dump truck which is the subject of this
approval request. The existing salt truck will be sold as surplus once the replacement unit
is complete.
Discussion
On February 14, 2017 a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new 5 CY Dump Truck for the
Streets Division of the Public Works Department was advertised in the Grand Island
Independent and sent to nine (9) potential proposers.
Five (5) vendors submitted proposals which were opened on February 28, 2017, and
thoroughly reviewed by a committee comprised of five (5) staff from the Streets Division
and Fleet Services Division. The proposals were evaluated on the following criteria:

UNIT 211
Full time salt spreader truck with approximately 2,325 hours. This unit is used
during winter months for ice control on arterial streets. Unit 211 was
purchased in 1996 and due to corrosion the chassis and salt spreader body have

UNIT 219
5 CY dump truck with approximately 6,000 hours and purchased new in 2002.
This unit is used during construction season by the Asphalt Crew to perform
hot asphalt patching; the truck hauls the hot asphalt from the asphalt plant and
is then used with the addition of an asphalt spreader box to lay down the
asphalt patches. In the winter months, a slide-in salt spreader is mounted on
the truck and it is used to salt arterial roadways.
Due to its multi-seasonal use, Unit 219 has the highest repair cost to purchase
price ratio of the fleet of dump trucks at 1.27. Repairs on this truck are
average for a high use unit like 219. Fleet Services concur the cab/chassis are
in good condition and would be a viable option for a replacement salt truck.

Meeting:March 28, 2017
Subject:Approving Purchase of a new Heavy Duty Work Truck
Cab/Chassis for the Streets Division of the Public Works
Department
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Streets Division budgeted for a new work truck in the 2016/2017 FY to replace Unit
208. The new work truck chassis was specified as a heavier duty vehicle than the
existing to provide more towing capacity and trailer brakes to accommodate the larger
machines and trailers that are pulled. The cab/chassis will be purchased, pending
approval, and once delivered Streets, Fleet Services and a local vendor will partner to
customize, purchase, and install the flat bed body. This ensures the work truck is set up
specifically for the functions it serves.
Current Unit 208 will be offered to all other divisions for purchase, if there is no interest
then it will be sold at an on-line auction site. The use of the on-line surplus site has been
very successful for the Streets Division, the most current sale being that of a loader which
produced double the revenue that was offered for trade-in.
Discussion
The City of Grand Island City Council approved the use of the National Joint Powers
Alliance Buying Group (NJPA) with Resolution 2014-326.
To meet competitive bidding requirements, the Streets Division obtained pricing from
the NJPA Contract No. 120716-NAF awarded to National Auto Fleet Group of
Watsonville, CA.
Public Works staff is recommending the purchase of a 2017 Ford F-550 4x4 regular
cab/chassis National Auto Fleet Group in the amount of $50,604.00.

Staff Contact: Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 158 / 210
Council Agenda Memo
From:Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Meeting:March 28, 2017
Subject:Breathing Air Compressor
Presenter(s):Tim Hiemer, Division Chief
Background
The Grand Island Fire Department utilizes a breathing air compressor to fill the air bottles
used by its personnel when they are operating in a hazardous environment. The Grand
Island Fire Department was authorized a capital budget request of $48,500 for a breathing
air compressor in the fiscal year 2016-17. The capital budget request was made due to
increasing maintenance costs associated with the aging air compressor at Fire Station 4.
The current compressor is no longer serviceable.
Discussion
The Grand Island Fire Department solicited bids for a breathing air compressor with the

Nebraska Liquor Commission requirements.
Add a 120 day “not renew” statement to provide both parties sufficient notice of
change.

in the City fee structure.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Meeting:March 28, 2017
Subject:Amendment to Agreement between City and Grow
Grand Island, Inc.
Presenter(s):Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Background
The City of Grand Island and Grow Grand Island, Inc. are parties to an agreement
whereby the City will provide, on an annual basis, funds to Grow Grand Island, Inc. to be
utilized for community enhancement purposes as set forth in the agreement. Following
approval of the Agreement, Grow Grand Island, Inc. has determined that it would for the
foreseeable future utilize the Grand Island Community Foundation to provide fiscal
management of funds received from the City.
Discussion
Grow Grand Island, Inc.’s utilization of the Grand Island Community Foundation to
provide fiscal management of its funds will require amendment of the provisions of the
Agreement regarding a fidelity bond. Additionally, due to the expense of obtaining a
fidelity bond in the amount of $500,000.00 as currently provided, it was requested that
the bond amount be reduced and set in the amount of $100,000.00. City staff consulted
with representatives of the City’s insurance agency to determine an appropriate
modification of the fidelity bond and employee theft insurance provisions.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve.
2.Move to deny.

Essential Air Service (EAS) to the Department of Transportation
(DOT)
Staff Contact: Mike Olson, Executive Director of CNRA
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 188 / 210
Council Agenda Memo
From:Marlan Ferguson, City Administrator
Meeting:March 28, 2017
Subject:Essential Air Service Recommendation
Presenter(s):Mike Olson, AAE, Executive Director
Hall County Airport Authority
Background
The Department of Transportation developed a program entitled Essential Air Service
(EAS) several years ago to assure that smaller rural communities would be provided with
passenger air service. The program provides subsidies to commercial air carriers to offset
the cost of offering such service in areas where ridership cannot be to the level to achieve
profitability. This program is intended to help small communities in economic
development, community development and population stabilization. Hall County has
benefited from this program over the last few years by assuring that the area continued
flight service for citizens and businesses.
Every two years the Department of Transportation asks for proposals from air carriers for
the various EAS communities for the continuation of air service. One proposal from
American Airlines was submitted for the Central Nebraska Regional Airport. A summary
of the proposal is attached for City Council review.
Discussion
The Airport Authority Board, in a letter to Mayor Jensen, is requesting concurrence from
the City for the formal request to the Department of Transportation for the Essential Air
Service. This is a requirement of the DOT on matters such as this.
On March 15, 2017 the Hall County Airport Authority conducted a public meeting to
discuss the bids for Essential Air Service to Grand Island, NE. The Hall County Airport
Authority is recommending American Airlines to the Department of Transportation
(DOT) for air service for the Central Nebraska Regional Airport under the Essential Air
Service Program.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 189 / 210
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 the Council accept the recommendation of the Hall
County Airport Authority Board submitted by American Airlines and authorize the
Mayor to send a letter to the Department of Transportation expressing support of such
proposal.
Sample Motion
Move to accept the recommendation of the Hall County Airport Authority Board
submitted by American Airlines and authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the
Department of Transportation expressing support of such proposal.

BEFORE THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
WASHINGTON, DC
Essential Air Service at
Grand Island, Nebraska
DOT-OST-2002-13983
Under 49 U.S.C §41731 et seq.
AMERICAN AIRLINES’ PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICE AT
GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA
American Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group, Inc., respectfully
submits its proposal to continue subsidized Essential Air Service to Grand Island, Nebraska.
American Airlines seeks to continue service between American’s largest hub, Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport (“DFW”), and the Grand Island Regional Airport (“GRI”), with two daily
roundtrips. The service would be operated by American Airlines’ regional brand, American
Eagle, using either a 50 seat, 65 seat or 76 seat regional jet aircraft.
American Airlines regional feed is operated under the American Eagle brand. American Airlines
customers have access to 345 cities, 56 countries, and more than 6,900 daily departures. Through
our oneworld alliance, customers have access to more than 1,010 destinations and 159 countries.
The service proposed by American Airlines continues existing service to American’s largest hub,
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. At DFW, American and American Eagle offer more than
750 daily departures to over 206 destinations, making it one of the largest hubs in the world. This
direct access to so many places has helped stimulate traffic to and from Grand Island with
significantly easier connecting options than what had been offered to Grand Island travelers prior
to our first award of the current Essential Air Service bid.
Grand Island has performed well under subsidized Essential Air Service since American’s EAS
subsidy award in July 2011, despite regional tendencies to favor OMA and its presence of low-
cost carriers. Passenger numbers have increased steadily over the course of our nearly two years
operating in the market. We have made great progress in developing air-service Grand Island, and
see the influence of the current service geographically redefining the local catchment area. Our
current bid reflects our belief that the Essential Air Service subsidy is vital, and the market is on a
trajectory to one day be self-sustaining.
Historically, American has served Grand Island with 50-seat regional jet aircraft, however
American is in the process of replacing many of these aircraft with larger 65 and 76-seat aircraft
as the 50-seat aircraft approach the end of their service life and are retired from our active fleet.
As such, American would like to request that the DOT and Grand Island allow us flexibility in
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 193 / 210
substituting 65-seat Bombardier CRJ700, 76-seat Bombardier CRJ900, or equivalent aircraft onto
the route when dictated by scheduling constraints. This will provide operational flexibility to
maintain reliable and attractive schedules to the community. American also requests that the DOT
and Grand Island waive the right to hold-in American Airlines service upon issuance of 120 days-
notice to terminate service. Although our intent is to remain in the GRI market for the long term,
we cannot be operationally constrained and kept in a market indefinitely without the ability to
adapt to changing circumstances.
We look forward to serving the Grand Island area for many years to come and appreciate the
community’s and the Department of Transportation’s consideration of continued American
Airlines service.
Sincerely,
Michael Britman
Managing Director

#2017-101 - Consideration of Approving Parking Restrictions on
Custer Avenue at the North Front Street Intersection
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 3/28/2017 Page 199 / 210
Council Agenda Memo
From:Terry Brown PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:March 28, 2017
Subject:Approving Parking Restrictions on Custer Avenue at the North
Front Street Intersection
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Council action is required to designate parking restrictions on any public street.
A safety concern was brought to the Public Works Engineering staff by a concerned citizen to
place parking restrictions on both the east and west sides of Custer Avenue, both north and south
from the North Front Street intersection, as shown on the attached sketch.
On February 28, 2017 this item was presented to City Council for action, however after
discussion it was requested the initial 150’ parking restriction both north and south from the
North Front Street intersection be reviewed.
Discussion
Upon further review of this parking restriction the Public Works Department has found 75’ to be
sufficient to improve the sight distance at the intersection of Custer Avenue and North Front
Street and allow sufficient parking in the area. There is a mixture of single family and multi-unit
residences in this stretch, which require on street parking. These parking restrictions will allow
for improved sight visibility when traveling east and west on North Front Street through the
Custer Avenue intersection.
Letters were sent to all affected property owners on March 6, 2017.
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 - 3/28/2017 Page 200 / 210
Recommendation

intersection.
