Council Agenda Memo
From:Marlan Ferguson, City Administrator
Meeting:August 15, 2017
Subject:FY 2018 Budget Discussion
Presenter(s):Marlan Ferguson, City Administrator
Renae Griffiths, Finance Director
Background
During the budget process for the 2017 Fiscal Year Budget much discussion was held
concerning future budgets and sustainability. The Mayor and City Council have
determined to have a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2018. In order to accomplish that
goal there will need to be some tough decisions made. Currently the City’s expenditures
in the general fund are growing at a faster rate than the revenues in the General Fund.
This is the result of a number of events, including becoming an MSA community which
caused salaries to increase substantially by way of comparing to a different array of
Cities. At the same time the City made the decision after a recommendation from a Public
Safety Study completed by the ICMA; to increase the number of police officers and
support staff in the police department by 17 FTE since 2012. In the FY 2017 Budget 62%
of the expenditures in the General Fund is for the Public Safety Departments. In addition
77% of the expenditures are for personnel costs. As you know several study sessions
were held to review various departments. The Administration has been reviewing
expenditures, revenues and other ways to balance the budget.
On May 16, 2017 a Study session was held to discuss a policy or guideline establishing a
70 / 30 percent personnel cost to other expenditures for the general fund. The Council
also discussed additional potential revenues, including property tax increase, change to
therms from % of revenues for the natural gas franchise fee, and a rental car occupation
tax. Since then a motor vehicle fee (Wheel Tax) has been discussed. On July 18 the
council held a budget retreat to discuss the General Fund. The administration had
recommendations to reducing staffing and increasing revenues to balance the budget in
2018. Tonight is a special meeting to continue that discussion.
The administration has reduced the number of FTE’s recommended to be frozen and
added the wheel tax as a potential revenue source. As you will see in the information
provided that the Horticulturist position was added back in, the Fire Department will have
3 paramedics positions added back in, and the Police Department will have 2 officers
Grand Island Special Meeting - 8/15/2017 Page 4 / 48
added back. In addition the assistant to the City Administrator position, currently vacant
will be frozen. The other recommendations will stay the same.
Discussion
Tonight’s special session is a voting meeting allowing the Council to direct staff in
completing the FY 2018 budget of expenditures and revenues. The recommended FTE’s,
the Fee schedule, and revenue sources will be presented. The talked about fee on money
transfers will not be on the agenda.
Conclusion
This item is presented to the City Council for action or intent to enact. Formal resolutions
or ordinances that are necessary will be brought back for approval at the August 22nd
meeting. The Budget is scheduled to be approved on September 12th and must be
received by the State of Nebraska by September 20th.

Council Agenda Memo
From:William Clingman, Assistant Finance Director
Meeting:August 15, 2017
Subject:Consideration of Adding Article IX for a Rental Car
Occupation Tax to Chapter 23 of the Grand Island City
Code Related to Occupation Taxes
Presenter(s):William Clingman, Assistant Finance Director
Background
The City of Grand Island currently has an estimated ten businesses in city limits who will
be impacted by the proposed occupation tax. Based on taxable sales numbers from the
Nebraska Department of Revenue, it is estimated this occupation tax would generate
around $150,000 per year. The use of these funds will be dedicated to the lease or
purchase of equipment for the Streets Division.
Discussion
An occupation tax, or similar fee, is common across the country, in particular for cities
with major airports. In Nebraska, the City of Omaha and the City of Lincoln have similar
taxes. This tax will provide funding to the Streets Division for the City of Grand Island
for their equipment that is used to maintain the roads, which these rental cars drive on.
Should the retailers who fall within this occupation choose to pass it along to customers,
the citizens of Grand Island should see little to no impact to their everyday purchasing
routines.
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 City Council adopt the Rental Car Occupation
Tax.

Pursuant to the authority of Nebraska Revised Statute R.R.S. 1943, Section 15-203, the City
Council finds, determines and declares that it is appropriate that a tax be imposed on all car
rental businesses as herein defined for the purpose of raising revenues. The foregoing
determination is made with due consideration of business in the City and the relation of business
to the municipal welfare, together with relation thereof, to expenditures required by the City, and
with consideration of just, proper and equitable distribution of the tax burdens within the City
and other properly associated matters.
§23-82. Definitions.

imposed, whether or not the taxes are actually collected from the customers.
§23-84.Return.
Each and every person engaged in a car rental business within the City for the calendar month
beginning October 2017, and for each and every calendar month thereafter, shall prepare and

Finance Director, a return for the taxable calendar month, and at the same time pay to the City
the tax herein imposed. The return shall be verified and sworn to by the officer in charge of the
business. The return shall be considered filed on time if mailed in an envelope properly
addressed to the City Finance Department, postage prepaid and postmarked before midnight of
the 25th of the appropriate month.
§23-85.Tax Cumulative.
(a)The levy of the tax under this chapter is in addition to all other fees, taxes, excises and

by this chapter, the City Finance Director shall make an estimate, based upon such information
as may be reasonably available, of the amount of taxes due for the period or periods for which
the taxpayer is delinquent, and upon the basis of such estimated amount, compute and assess in
addition thereto (1) interest on such delinquent taxes, at the rate of one percent (1%) per month,
or fraction thereof from the date when due and, (2) a late fee equal to ten percent (10%) thereof.
Any such interest due may be compounded quarterly.
(b)The City Finance Director shall give the delinquent taxpayer written notice of such
estimated taxes, late fees, and interest, which notice must be served personally or by certified
mail.
(c)Such estimate shall thereupon become an assessment, and such assessment shall be final
and due and payable from the taxpayer to the City Finance Director ten (10) days from the date
of service of the notice or the date of mailing by certified mail; however, within such ten (10)
day period the delinquent taxpayer may petition the City Finance Director for a revision or

Director the facts and correct figures showing the correct amount of such taxes.
(d)Such petition shall be in writing, and the facts and figures submitted shall be submitted in
writing and shall be given under oath of the taxpayer.
(e)The City Finance Director may then modify such assessment in accordance with the facts
which he or she deems correct. Such adjusted assessment shall be made in writing, and notice
thereof shall be mailed to the taxpayer within ten (10) days; and all such decisions shall become
final upon the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date of service, unless proceedings are
commenced within that time for appeal in the District Court.
§23-88. Administration of Chapter; Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)The administration of the provisions of this chapter are hereby vested in the City Finance
Director who shall prescribe forms in conformity with this chapter for the making of returns, for
the ascertainment, assessment and collection of the tax imposed hereunder, and for the proper

books or accounts as may be necessary to determine the amount of tax for which he/she is liable
hereunder.

and apart from the records of other sales or receipts in order to facilitate the examination
of books and records as necessary for the collection of this tax.

four (4) years all such books, invoices and other records, which shall be open for
examination at any time by the City Finance Director. If such person keeps or maintains
their books, invoices, accounts or other records, or any thereof, outside of the state, upon
demand of the City Finance Director he/she shall make the same available at a suitable
place within the City, to be designated by the City Finance Director, for examination,
inspection and audit by the City Finance Director. The taxpayer shall reimburse the City
for the reasonable costs of the examination, inspection and audit if the City Finance
Director determines that the taxpayer paid ninety percent or less of the tax owing for the
period of the examination.
(3) The City Finance Director in his or her discretion, may make, permit or cause to be
made the examination, inspection or audit of books, invoices, accounts or other records
so kept or maintained by such person outside of the state at the place where same are kept
or maintained or at any place outside the state where the same may be made available,
provided such person shall have entered into a binding agreement with the City to
reimburse it for all costs and expenses incurred by it in order to have such examination,
inspection or audit made in such place.
(d)For the purpose of ascertaining the correctness of a return, or for the purpose of
determining the amount of tax due from any person, the City Finance Director, or his/her duly
authorized persons, may conduct investigations concerning any matters covered by this chapter;
and may examine any relevant books, papers, records or memoranda of any such person.
§23-89. Recovery of Unpaid Tax by Action at Law.
(a)The City Finance Director may also treat any such taxes, penalties or interest due and
unpaid as a debt due the City.

thereon when due, the City may recover at law the amount of such taxes, penalties and interest in
any court of Hall County, Nebraska or of the county wherein the taxpayer resides or has its
principal place of business having jurisdiction of the amounts sought to be collected.
(c)The return of the taxpayer or the assessment made by the City Finance Director, as herein
provided, shall be prima facie proof of the amount due.
(d)The City Attorney may commence an action for the recovery of taxes due under this
chapter and this remedy shall be in addition to all other existing remedies, or remedies provided
in this chapter.

STORMWATER SURCHARGE
Customer #Charge/Month Revenue/Annual
Residential 14,500 $1.00 $174,000

It will offset general fund dollars by lowering amount of property tax we transfer to streets
fund.
There are three storm water related activities that could be covered:
1.Streets drainage work, such as flushing pipes, cleaning inlets, resetting flow lines,
maintaining ditches and detention cells, etc. This work is not eligible for gas tax, and we
should be doing more.
2.Capital projects such as the Moores Creek Drainage extension. The General Fund is
usually, but not always the only source for these projects.
3.Stormwater program. This federally mandated program was mostly paid for by the
General Fund.

NATURAL GAS OCCUPATION TAX
§23-1. Occupation Tax
Except as provided in §23-2, any person engaged in the business of distributing,
manufacturing or furnishing gas, either natural, manufactured or mixed gas, in the City, shall be
required to pay to the City an occupation tax in an amount equal to three percent of the gross
receipts such person derived from his business of distributing, manufacturing or furnishing gas to
the inhabitants of the City.
As the Natural Gas prices have declined over the years we have seen a substantial drop in our
revenues as we charge a fee on gross receipts. Many cities, including Kearney which is in our
rate area with Northwestern charges a fee on Therms, which is the amount of gas distributed.
We recommend a fee of 3 cents on everyone except transport customers, which we recommend a
1 cent fee.
Customer #Therms Receipts Increase
Residential 17,950 $297,517 $232,213 $ 65,304
Commercial 2147 $297,251 $107,012 $190,206
Transport 34 $125,561 $ 9,738 $115,832
