From:RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Public Hearing on Request from GIPH Restaurants, LLC
dba Pizza Hut, 1608 South Locust Street for a Class “C”
Liquor License
Presenter(s):RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Background
Section 4-2 of the Grand Island City Code declares the intent of the City Council
regarding liquor licenses and the sale of alcohol.
Declared Legislative Intent
It is hereby declared to be the intent and purpose of the city council in adopting
and administering the provisions of this chapter:
(A)To express the community sentiment that the control of availability of alcoholic
liquor to the public in general and to minors in particular promotes the public
health, safety, and welfare;
(B)To encourage temperance in the consumption of alcoholic liquor by sound and
careful control and regulation of the sale and distribution thereof; and
(C)To ensure that the number of retail outlets and the manner in which they are
operated is such that they can be adequately policed by local law enforcement
agencies so that the abuse of alcohol and the occurrence of alcohol-related crimes
and offenses is kept to a minimum.
Discussion
GIPH Restaurants, LLC dba Pizza Hut, 1608 South Locust Street has submitted an
application for a Class “C” Liquor License. A Class “C” Liquor License allows for the
sale of alcohol on and off sale inside the corporate limits of the city.
City Council action is required and forwarded to the Nebraska Liquor Control
Commission for issuance of all licenses. This application has been reviewed by the Clerk,
Building, Fire, Health, and Police Departments.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 14 / 260
This location currently has a Class “A” Liquor License which is for beer on sale only.
Since there is no change in ownership or manager, the Police Department doesn’t object
to Pizza Hut having a Class “C” Liquor License and delivering beer and wine with the
pizza as long as the safeguards in place are followed.
Also submitted was a request for Liquor Manager Designation for Brett Klanecky, 2123
North Wheeler Avenue. Mr. Klanecky is the current liquor manager at this location and
has completed a state approved alcohol server/seller training program. Staff recommends
approval contingent upon final inspections.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the application.
2.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with no
recommendation.
3.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with recommendations.
4.Deny the application.
Recommendation
Based on the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission’s criteria for the approval of Liquor
Licenses, City Administration recommends that the Council approve this application.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the application for GIPH Restaurants, LLC dba Pizza Hut, 1608 South
Locust Street for a Class “C” Liquor License contingent upon final inspections and
Liquor Manager Designation for Brett Klanecky, 2123 North Wheeler Avenue.

Item E-3
Public Hearing on Acquisition of Utility Easements - Golden Age
Subdivision - Hall County Housing Authority
Council action will take place under Consent Agenda item G-4.
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 21 / 260
Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Acquisition of Utility Easement – Golden Age
Subdivision – Hall County Housing Authority
Presenter(s):Ryan Schmitz, Assistant Utilities Director
Background
Nebraska State Law requires that acquisition of property must be approved by City
Council. The Utilities Department needs to acquire utility easement relative to the
property of the Hall County Housing Authority, through a part of Lot Two (2) Golden
Age Third Subdivision; and through a part of Block Two (2) Golden Age Subdivision,
within the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska (Golden Age Subdivision area
adjacent to the Golden Towers, Pletcher Terrace and the CHI Medical Plaza at 8th Street
extended between Boggs Avenue and White Street; northwest corner of 7th Street and
Boggs Avenue and the easterly side of Stoeger Drive), in order to have access to install,
upgrade, maintain, and repair appurtenances, including water lines.
Discussion
The original development of the Golden Age Subdivision in 1950 installed four and six
inch diameter water mains. The existing lines do not meet modern capacity for the
population density of the area. The Utilities Department is planning to install new and
larger diameter mains to supplement the existing network. The proposed easement tracts
will allow the Utilities Department to access, extend, operate and maintain the water lines
that serve the area.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Make a motion 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 - 2/13/2018 Page 22 / 260

Item E-4
Public Hearing on Request from Berean Fundamental Church of

Permit to Erect an 85’ Stealth Communication Tower Facility
Located at 4116 West Capital Avenue
Council action will take place under Requests and Referrals item H-1.

Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 27 / 260
Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Request of Jeffrey Skinner, representing Verizon
Wireless for Approval of a Condition Use Permit to
Construct a Telecommunication Tower at 4116 W.
Capital Avenue
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
This is a request to allow for the construction of an 80 foot monopole telecommunication
tower with a 5 foot lightning rod for a total height of 85 feet at 4116 W. Capital Avenue.
The property is currently zoned LLR - Large Lot Residential. The Grand Island Zoning
Code requires that all telecommunication towers receive the approval of City Council in
the form of a conditional use permit prior to construction.
The intent of the tower and telecommunication facilities and antenna regulations are to
protect residential areas and land uses from the potential adverse impact of the
installation of towers and antennas through careful design, siting, and camouflaging, to
promote and encourage shared use/collocation of towers, and to ensure that towers and
antennas are compatible with the surrounding land uses.
Discussion
The City Code specifies eight items to be submitted with the application for a tower
development permit; all of those items have been submitted, with the exception of:
1). the engineering of the tower and foundation design. It appears reasonable to
delay the submittal of this item until after the City Council has approved the
location. At the time of a request for a building permit then the engineering for the
construction needs to be submitted before a building permit would be issued.
Information attesting to a diligent effort to collocate with any tower within a one
mile radius has been submitted by the applicant.
There is one tower location within the one mile radius at 3421 W. Hwy #2.
The existing tower does not appear to provide adequate colocation possibilities.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 28 / 260
The location of this proposal does not appear to create 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 a conditional use permit finding that the proposed use
is a listed conditional use in the zoning code and that it will not be detrimental
to public health, safety, and the general welfare of the community.
2.Disapprove or /Deny the conditional use permit, finding that the proposal does
not conform to the purpose of the zoning regulations.
3.Modify the conditional use to meet the wishes of the Council
4.Refer the matter to a special committee for a determination of a finding of
fact.
5.Table the issue.
Recommendation
City Staff recommends that the Council approve the request for a conditional use permit
to construct this 85 foot telecommunication tower, finding that the request does promote
the 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 requested conditional use permit as specified in the staff
recommendation published in the Council packet and presented at the City Council
meeting and finding that the application will conform with the purpose of the zoning
regulations.

Item E-5
Public Hearing on Acquisition of Public Right-of-Way in
Windolph’s Subdivision (Villanueva)
Council action will take place under Consent Agenda item G-10.
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 32 / 260
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Public Hearing on Acquisition of Public Right-of-Way in
Windolph’s Subdivision (Villanueva)
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Nebraska State Statutes stipulate that the acquisition of property requires a public hearing
to be conducted with the acquisition approved by the City Council.
During the closeout stage of the North Interceptor Phase I sanitary sewer project Marcos
A. and Josefina Villanueva of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road filed a claim against the City
of Grand Island stating damage to their property. Investigating such claim uncovered that
the City did in fact encroach on the Villanueva’s private property when restoring the
construction area of Museum Drive for public use. The northern end of Museum Drive
(south of Seedling Mile Road) has a thirty-three (33) foot public right-of-way, while the
southern end of Museum Drive (north of Swift Road) has a sixty (60) foot public right-
of-way.
The City has approached the property owners of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road in regards to
acquiring an additional 13.5 foot of public right-of-way (half of the 27 foot needed to
gain a full 60 foot width) on the northern end of Museum Drive to move towards gaining
consistency in the width of such public roadway.
Discussion
During negotiations with the property owners of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road in regards to
the City acquiring an additional 13.5 foot of public right-of-way on the northern end of
Museum Drive interest was expressed in irrigating the currently dry farm land they own
at such location.
An agreement was reached between City staff and such property owners to transfer the
City’s interest in the irrigated acres adjacent to 450 Museum Drive, on the southern end
of Museum Drive. The City of Grand Island Utilities Department owns such property,
with plans to use it as a solar array site, and has agreed to the transfer. The site is
currently irrigated agricultural land, which has been certified as irrigated acres by the
Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 33 / 260
Central Platte Natural Resource District and is leased out for farming. For the duration of
the solar array site the irrigated acres will be dormant.
City staff is requesting to acquire the additional 13.5 foot of public right-of-way on the
northern end of Museum Drive in exchange for the transfer of four (4) irrigated acres to
the property owners of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road.
The transfer of irrigated acres is a separate item being presented at the February 13, 2018
City Council meeting.
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 conduct a Public Hearing and
approved acquisition of the public right-of-way.
Sample Motion
Move to conduct a Public Hearing and approve the acquisition of the public right-of-way.

From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Public Hearing on Acquisition of Sidewalk Easement at
3704 West 13th Street (Richard A. Cash, LLC)
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Roadway improvements along 13th Street from Moores Creek to North Road, as well as
intersection improvements at 13th Street and North Road are planned. Public Works
Engineering staff is proposing a three lane curb and gutter roadway section with
associated sidewalk and other miscellaneous improvements. This project also will get
much needed drainage improvements to the 13th and North Road intersection which do
not exist today.
Nebraska State Statutes stipulate that the acquisition of property requires a public hearing
to be conducted with the acquisition approved by the City Council.
Discussion
A sidewalk easement is needed in connection with the 13th Street & North Road
intersection improvements to allow for public use of such adjacent to 3704 West 13th
Street. The property owner has signed the necessary document to grant a public sidewalk
easement, which allows for a seven (7) foot wide easement, as shown on the attached
drawing.
Engineering staff of the Public Works Department negotiated with the property owner for
such permanent sidewalk easement.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Approve City Code Amendment to Allow Swimming in
City Lakes for Approved Special Events
Presenter(s):Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
For more than thirty years supervised swimming was offered at L.E. Ray Lake. In 1993
supervised swimming was eliminated and the area was designated as “swim at your own
risk.” During that 12 year period a number of drownings occurred and in 2005 all
swimming was restricted at L.E. Ray Lake with the exception of scuba training.
Discussion
Recently the Grand Island Sports Council requested that City Code be modified so that
swimming may be allowed in order to host a Triathlon event at L.E. Ray Lake.
The Parks and Recreation Department is not in favor of totally reversing the swimming
restriction; however, feels that the original intent to the restriction was to forbid
unsupervised recreational swimming.
Staff recommends modifying Chapter 24 of City Code to allow swimming specifically
for approved special events only.
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

Relative to Lifeguard Referral Program

Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 47 / 260
Council Agenda Memo
From:Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Approving Salary Ordinance No. 9676
Presenter(s):Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Background
The salary ordinance for employees of the City of Grand Island comes before Council
when changes are necessary. The following explains the proposed change to the salary
ordinance.
Discussion
The City swimming pools continue to see a decline in lifeguard staff. It is becoming
increasingly difficult to maintain minimum staffing levels despite efforts to recruit new
guards. Previous recruiting efforts include increasing the starting wage from $9.50 to
$10.00 per hour, waiving the certification fee for new applicants, making a lifeguard
specific promotional commercial, and social media campaigns.
The proposed change to the salary ordinance would allow for an employee referral
program. The intent is to utilize current staff to recruit new hires. Details of the referral
program include:
The referral program is limited to existing pool staff referrals. Management
positions are excluded.
The referral cannot have worked as a city lifeguard in the past.
The referral must pass a background check, complete and pass a free lifeguard
class (roughly 20 hours), and work for at least 80 hours.
Pool staff are paid for their referral as follows.
o 1 referral: $50
o 2 referrals: $75
o 3 or more referrals: $100

#2018-36 - Approving Transferring Irrigated Acres from the City
of Grand Island to Marcos A. and Josefina Villanueva (2725 E

Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 110 / 260
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Transferring Irrigated Acres from the
City of Grand Island to Marcos A. and Josefina
Villanueva (2725 E Seedling Mile Road)
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
During the closeout stage of the North Interceptor Phase I sanitary sewer project Marcos
A. and Josefina Villanueva of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road filed a claim against the City
of Grand Island stating damage to their property. Investigating such claim uncovered that
the City did in fact encroach on the Villanueva’s private property when restoring the
construction area of Museum Drive for public use. The northern end of Museum Drive
(south of Seedling Mile Road) has a thirty-three (33) foot public right-of-way, while the
southern end of Museum Drive (north of Swift Road) has a sixty (60) foot public right-
of-way.
The City has approached the property owners of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road in regards to
acquiring an additional 13.5 foot of public right-of-way (half of the 27 foot needed to
gain a full 60 foot width) on the northern end of Museum Drive to move towards gaining
consistency in the width of such public roadway.
Discussion
During negotiations with the property owners of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road in regards to
the City acquiring an additional 13.5 foot of public right-of-way on the northern end of
Museum Drive interest was expressed in irrigating the currently dry farm land they own
at such location.
An agreement was reached between City staff and such property owners to transfer the
City’s interest in the irrigated acres adjacent to 450 Museum Drive, on the southern end
of Museum Drive. The City of Grand Island Utilities Department owns such property,
with plans to use it as a solar array site, and has agreed to the transfer. The site is
currently irrigated agricultural land, which has been certified as irrigated acres by the
Central Platte Natural Resource District and is leased out for farming. For the duration of
the solar array site the irrigated acres will be dormant.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 111 / 260
City staff is requesting to grant the transfer of four (4) irrigated acres to the property
owners of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road in exchange for the additional 13.5 foot of public
right-of-way on the northern end of Museum Drive.
The acquisition of public right-of-way is a separate item being presented at the February
13, 2018 City Council meeting.
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 a resolution transferring the
four (4) irrigated acres to the property owners of 2725 E Seeding Mile Road from the
irrigated acres adjacent to 450 Museum Drive in exchange for the additional 13.5 foot of
public right-of-way on the northern end of Museum Drive.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

(Richard A. Cash, LLC)
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Roadway improvements along 13th Street from Moores Creek to North Road, as well as
intersection improvements at 13th Street and North Road are planned. Public Works
Engineering staff is proposing a three lane curb and gutter roadway section with
associated sidewalk and other miscellaneous improvements. This project also will get
much needed drainage improvements to the 13th and North Road intersection which do
not exist today.
A Temporary Construction easement is needed to accommodate the construction activities
for 13th Street Paving Improvements; Project No. 2018-P-1, which must be approved by
City Council. The temporary construction easements will allow for the roadway
improvements to this area.
A sketch is attached to show the temporary construction easement area.
Discussion
A temporary construction easement is needed from one (1) property owner for 13th Street
Paving Improvements; Project No. 2018-P-1 to be constructed.
Engineering staff of the Public Works Department negotiated with the property owner for
use of such temporary construction easement.

#2018-40 - Approving Request from St. Mary’s Cathedral for
Permission to Use City Streets and State Highway for the 2018
Divine Mercy Sunday Procession
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 128 / 260
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Approving Request from St. Mary’s
Cathedral for Permission to Use City Streets and State
Highway for the 2018 Divine Mercy Sunday Procession
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
St. Mary’s Cathedral has submitted a request to use both City streets and State highway
for the Divine Mercy Sunday Procession, which is scheduled to take place on April 8,
2018 from approximately 3:15pm to 4:30pm. St. Mary’s Cathedral is seeking Council
approval and notice to the Nebraska Department of Roads for the route of such event.
Discussion
The Divine Mercy Sunday Procession will require the use of City streets, as well as
crossing US Highway 30 (2nd Street). Please see the attached map for the route.
State Statute 39-1359 requires the City Council to approve the route and for the City to
then inform the Nebraska Department of Roads that the route has approval if it closes or
blocks any part of a State highway. This is a requirement for any race, parade or march
that would create some closure of the highway. This action then makes the City
responsible for the liability of using a State highway for the event.
St. Mary’s Cathedral did submit the City’s Public Event Application, which has been
reviewed by the appropriate departments with no comments or issues noted for denial of
such request.
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 - 2/13/2018 Page 129 / 260
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve St. Mary’s Cathedral’s route
for the 2018 Division Mercy Sunday Procession and direct that the Nebraska Department
of Roads be notified of this action.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:Approving Award for Consulting Services for Post
Construction Storm Water Best Management Practices
Master Plan
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for consulting services for Post Construction Storm
Water Best Management Practices (BMP) Master Plan was advertised in the Grand Island
Independent on December 13, 2017. The RFQ was also sent to twelve (12) consulting
firms by the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
The City of Grand Island maintains a MS4 permit that requires adoption and
implementation of Post Construction Storm Water Management Program standards.
Standards must be enforced beginning August 2018, with annual reports submitted to the
Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) to demonstrate compliance.
Phase I of this project will update water quality capture volume criteria to reflect drainage
conditions unique to the City of Grand Island. Water quality capture volume required for
future development will also be considered, along with the treatment capability of
existing features.
Phase II of this project will produce technical documentation that establishes storm water
treatment facility design standards and justifies how Phase I adjusted water quality
capture volume criteria satisfies the Maximum Extent Practicable standard.
Implementation of a procedure and method for tracking water quality treatment is also
desired. Support for demonstrating these standards and criteria to NDEQ will be
provided.
The City will adopt these standards and requirements in a Post Construction Storm Water
BMP Master Plan, which must be complete by August 2018. It is anticipated this work
will use the information standard post construction storm water management plan
developed by FHU for MS4 communities of which Grand Island participated in as a
starting point.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 134 / 260

paid for using both the LB1226 Storm Water Grant Fund through the Nebraska
Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) and funds within the Wastewater
Division. This work supports the City of Grand Island’s Storm Water Management Plan.
The submittal from Felsburg Holt & Ullevig of Lincoln, Nebraska was scored as a firm

work and earth grading stage of the project. 1,277 cubic yards of material was
required to be replaced with new material. Add: $14,327.00

#2018-46 – Approving Memorandum of Agreement with Lincoln
Fire & Rescue
Staff Contact: Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 2/13/2018 Page 162 / 260
Council Agenda Memo
From:Fire Chief Cory Schmidt
Meeting:February 13, 2018
Subject:MOA with Lincoln Fire & Rescue
Presenter(s):Chief Schmidt and DC Hiemer
Background
Lincoln Fire & Rescue is the sponsoring agency for Nebraska Task Force 1 of the Urban
Search and Rescue Response System. The Urban Search & Rescue (US&R) Task Force
is made up of 70 personnel. These 70 positions are filled from various organizations in
and around Lincoln. The US&R Task Force was created to provide support for large
scale disasters in the United States. They specialize in urban search and rescue, disaster
recovery, and emergency triage and medicine.
Discussion
Nebraska US&R Task Force 1 currently has several openings on their team. The Grand
Island Fire Department (GIFD) seeks to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
with Lincoln Fire & Rescue to become a participating agency. Becoming a participating
agency would allow GIFD employees to apply for vacant team positions on the US&R
Task Force. If GIFD employees are selected to fill team positions, they would receive
specialized training to assist in disaster response. Should the US&R Team be activated
for response or have required training, any participating GIFD members would be
considered an employee of FEMA. FEMA would reimburse the City of Grand Island for
employee wages as well as overtime costs associated with a team member’s absence.
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 - 2/13/2018 Page 163 / 260
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council authorizes the approval of the MOA
with Lincoln Fire & Rescue to allow GIFD to become a participating agency with the
US&R Task Force.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the MOA with Lincoln Fire & Rescue to allow GIFD to become a
participating agency with Nebraska US&R Task Force.

US&R PROGRAM DIRECTIVE – 2015-007
November 16, 2015
FOR: National Urban Search & Rescue Response System
Task Force Representatives
FROM: Fred Endrikat, Chief
Urban Search and Rescue Branch
SUBJECT: US&R Program Directive 2015-007 – Workers’ Compensation Program (WCP) Procedure
Implementation Date: November 16, 2015; Re-issue Date: November 16, 2018
The purpose of this Program Directive is to provide guidance to the National Urban Search and
Rescue (US&R) Response System (the System) regarding the proper procedures for filing a
Workers’ Compensation claim. FEMA is now using the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) ECOMP Filing System for entering claims into this system. This system allows the claimant to
track the progress of their claim at any time.
The individuals and organizations involved in the workers’ compensation claims process, and their responsibilities, are:
• The employee filing the claim, a System member: Responsible for ensuring the
completion and submission of appropriate DOL forms to WCP.
• The employee’s supervisor, a Task Force Leader (TFL) or Incident Support Team Leader
(ISTL): Responsible for reviewing and signing all appropriate DOL forms.
• The DOL Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP): The single organization responsible for approving claims. The Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) is
administered by the DOL OWCP.
• The FEMA Workers’ Compensation Program (WCP): Responsible for serving as the liaison between the System member filing a claim and DOL, and reviewing submissions
to ensure that the packages are complete. FEMA’s WCP is located in FEMA
Headquarters and any questions a System member has about the status of their claim should be directed to FEMA’s WCP.
• The FEMA US&R Branch: Responsible for providing assistance and recordkeeping for
all System claims filed with FEMA’s WCP. Shu-Ahn Li, Program Specialist, US&R Branch is the Workers’ Compensation (WC) Liaison.

REQUIRED ACTIONS
The following is the process for filing a WC claim through the DOL ECOMP Filing System.
New DOL On-Line ECOMP Filing System, Form Review and Status Contact Information: https://www.ecomp.dol.gov/?t=1441395091733#
This is a user-friendly system, but additional information is provided in the attached guidelines:
A - ECOMP Screens for TF, B - ECOMP SOP Injured Worker Filing Claims, and C - ECOMP
SOP Supervisor Review.
When accessing the ECOMP system for the first time, the System member will need to:
1. Follow the attached guidelines ECOMP Screens for TF for completing specific boxes in
specific screens.
2. Register, create a user account, and create a password.
3. Initiate, complete and file the OSHA-301 first in order to access the CA-1 and CA-2
screens.
4. Identify and provide the contact information for the appropriate on-site supervisor (TFL
or ISTL) who can assist in answering specific questions about the System member’s
injury/illness in case the System member is not available when a FEMA WCP specialist
needs additional information. This contact information will need to be provided in a
separate scanned document that must be uploaded into ECOMP (form CA-1, step 1D
Attachments).
5. Complete the ECOMP CA-1 forms/screens until the System member sees the screen
“This form has been forwarded for review” which is ECOMP’s confirmation of
completion.
6. The System member should notify US&R WC Liaison, Shu-Ahn Li, once they complete
the CA-1 submission in ECOMP.
If an injury/illness occurs during a deployment or an exercise and computer access is
unavailable, the following are instructions for filing a paper claim. Completed paper DOL forms
must be scanned and submitted by email or fax to the US&R WC Liaison, Shu-Ahn Li. In
addition, these instructions provide further clarification on the same DOL forms for online use.
1. Deployment or US&R Sanctioned Training Exercise – Injury or Illness Notification
Requirements:
a) Within a TF:
i. the System member should inform their TFL
ii. the TFL should inform the task force Medical Team Manager, who will provide the
appropriate DOL forms (CA-1, CA-2 and/or CA-16) to the System member
iii. the TF Medical Team Manager should inform the TF Safety Officer and the TF
Planning Officer (who maintains copies of the DOL forms for TF records)

2. Completion of the Appropriate DOL Forms
DOL provides an in-depth description of FECA on their webpage, Division of Federal
Employee Compensation – Frequently Asked Questions at the following link:
http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dfec/fec-faq.htm.
a) The DOL CA-1 form Federal Employee’s Notice of Traumatic Injury and Claim for
Continuation of Pay/Compensation is completed for a traumatic injury which is an
injury which can be pinpointed to have occurred during one particular work shift. For
example, falling down the steps during a work shift is a traumatic injury. For additional
details, see 20 CFR Part 10.100, How and when is a notice of traumatic injury filed? The
CA-1 must be completed and signed by the System member and the supervisor (TFL or
ISTL), and a witness if appropriate. The supervisor must sign in two separate boxes. The
DOL must receive electronic Form CA-1 within 30 days of the date of the employee’s

the supervisor (TFL or ISTL), and a witness if appropriate. The supervisor must sign in
two separate boxes and give the Receipt section to the System member for their records.
c) The DOL CA-16 form Authorization for Examination And/Or Treatment is completed
for a traumatic injury requiring immediate medical treatment. The completion of
this form by an Authorizing Official and Attending Physician allows the System member
to obtain medical treatment immediately. This authorization covers non-surgical
treatment and continues for up to 60 calendar days from the date of injury. If the case is
approved, the System member will remain entitled to medical treatment for the accepted
condition. However, if the case is denied, the authorization provided by Form CA-16 will
not be valid after the date of denial. The CA-16 must be completed and signed by the
Authorizing Official (the TFL, ISTL TF Medical Team Manager or the IST Medical

www.fema.gov
and serve as the authorization to activate personnel for training. The US&R Branch will
not be issuing a formal activation order;
d) The System member follows the instructions of the senior Federal supervisor (identified
in Attachment E – “FEMA Training Request Form” for each course) for the training
course as appointed by the US&R Branch. The FEMA Training Request Form must have
been completed for the course as it identifies the senior Federal supervisor who will be
providing oversight for the Federal Government. This document is completed to support
FECA coverage for System members from the time of departure to the training site to the
time of their return home;
e) The System member’s name is on the official roster that is approved by both the task
force Program Manager and the US&R Branch.
5. Claim Status Contact Information:
Once FEMA’s Workers’ Compensation Program receives completed and signed DOL forms
by email, a WCP representative reviews the forms for accuracy and completeness before
forwarding the forms to DOL. FEMA’s Workers’ Compensation Program has one general
telephone number to receive calls and messages.
a) System members should contact FEMA’s Workers’ Compensation Program directly to
find out the status of their claim at: (877) 791-3362.
b) System members may also contact DOL’S ACS Webbill Processing Portal directly to
find out the status of their claim at: (850) 558-1818.
6. FECA Coverage
Please be aware that while it is stated on DOL’s website that “All injuries, including disease
proximately caused by employment, sustained while in the performance of duty by civilian
employees of the United States, except for non-appropriated fund employees, are covered” it
remains entirely the employee’s responsibility to “…provide medical and factual
evidence to establish the essential elements of the claim, i.e., that the claim was filed within
the statutory time requirements of the FECA, the injured or deceased person was an
employee within the meaning of the FECA, the employee sustained an injury or disease, the
employee was in the performance of duty when the injury occurred, and the condition found
resulted from the injury...”
In general, FECA does NOT cover pre-existing conditions and any conditions that
cannot be directly related to work activity, but “[pre-existing] Diseases and illnesses
aggravated, accelerated or precipitated by the employment are covered. The employee must
submit medical and factual evidence that establishes that the employment aggravated,
accelerated, or precipitated the condition.”
Please see http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dfec/regs/compliance/feca550q.htm for further details.
