Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Determining Benefits and Levy Special
Assessments for Sidewalk Installation at 4194 Norseman
Avenue
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Certificate of Final Completion for sidewalk installation at 4194 Norseman Avenue
was approved by City Council on January 23, 2018, via Resolution No. 2018-14, with
February 27, 2018 set as the date for Council to sit as the Board of Equalization.
Through informal bids Galvan Construction, Inc. was hired to install the sidewalk at such
location. Total cost of the sidewalk installation was $3,025.00, which consists of
$2,750.00 for construction and $275.00 for engineering services. All work has been
completed and special assessments have been calculated for the installation.
Discussion
The costs for this project will be assessed to the adjacent property. The payments are
spread over seven (7) years at 7% simple interest. The first payment of principle only at
1/7th of the assessment is due 25 days after the Board of Equalization. The City has had
multiple correspondences with the property owner and sent a reminder letter advising
them that the BOE is scheduled for February 27, 2018 and the first payment will be due
shortly after.
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 - 2/27/2018 Page 4 / 158
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council meet as the Board of Equalization to
determine benefits and pass an ordinance to levy Special Assessments to individual
properties.
Sample Motion
(Sample Motion for the Board of Equalization)
Move to approve the resolution establishing benefits for sidewalk installation at 4194
Norseman Avenue.
(Sample Motion for the Ordinance)
Move to approve the ordinance levying the assessments for sidewalk installation at 4194
Norseman Avenue.

Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 16 / 158
City of Grand Island

Council Session
Item E-2
Public Hearing on Request from Mid-Country Trading, LLC on
behalf of USA Communications for a Conditional Use Permit to
Place a 100’ Self Supporting Telecommunications Tower Located
at 3539 West 13th Street, Suite A
Council action will take place under Request and Referrals item H-1.
Staff Contact: Craig Lewis
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 17 / 158
Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Request of Christian Hilliard representing USA
Communications for Approval of a Condition Use Permit
to Construct a Telecommunication Tower at 3539 West
13th Street
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
This is a request to allow for the construction of a 100 foot monopole telecommunication
tower at 3539 West 13th Street.
The property is currently zoned B-2 General Business, 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
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.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 18 / 158
There are seven tower locations within the one mile radius;
3690 W. State St. Fire Station #4 60’
3644 W. 13th. St. 180’
518 N. Webb Rd. 95’
3560 Kaufman Ave.
305 Wilmar 120’
3205 W.N. Front St.
3431 W. Old Potash Hwy.
None of the existing towers appear to provide adequate colocation possibilities. 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 100 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-3
Public Hearing on Request from Kristy Cavanaugh for a
Conditional Use Permit to Place a Modular Home while Living in
the Current Structure Located at 3318 E. Seedling Mile Road
Council action will take place under Request and Referrals item H-2.
Staff Contact: Craig Lewis
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 22 / 158
Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Request of Kristy Cavanaugh for Approval of a
Conditional Use Permit to Allow for the Construction of
a New Single Family Dwelling while Occupying the
Existing Dwelling at 3318 E. Seedling Mile 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 R-1, Suburban Residential, and is approximately 1.89
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 and placement
of a new modular 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 6 months to complete and allowing 60 to 90 days to remove the existing dwelling an
expiration date for the conditional use permit appears reasonable for February 28, 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:
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.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 23 / 158
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 February 28, 2019 or until 90 days after a certificate of
occupancy is issued for the new dwelling, whichever occurs first.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Request of Marsha Mars for Approval of a Conditional
Use Permit to Allow for an In-Home Day Care Facility at
2524 W. Division 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 a day
care facility within the existing single family dwelling located at 2524 W. Division
Street. The current zoning classification of the property is R-2 Low Density Residential.
Day care centers and similar facilities within that zoning classification are required to
receive approval of the City Council in the form of a conditional use permit.
In home day care facilities operated by residents of the home are allowed as a home
occupation, however any employment for services from outside the home violate the
provisions of Section 36-99 Home Occupations; (E). No one other than the resident(s)
can work from that site. This request identifies the need to employ staff from outside to
facilitate the needs of the children served.
Discussion
This request is to operate an in-home daycare facility with the exception of employing
staff from outside the home which would then classify this as a day-care center requiring
a conditional use permit approved by the City Council.
The intent is to provide services for between 4 to 8 children as defined in the zoning
regulation as a Family Child Care Home I. Additional staff may be necessary as the time
and number of children demands.
The site location is such that it would not appear that this request will have any negative
impact on the neighboring properties.
.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 28 / 158
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.
Recommendation
Approve the request for the operation of an in-home day care facility allowing the
employment of outside help as demand dictates and in conformance with all other Grand
Island City Code regulations.
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.

Public Hearing on Adoption of the Grand Island Zoning Map
Council action will take place under Ordinances item F-2.
Staff Contact: Chad Nabity
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 32 / 158
Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Re-adoption City of Grand Island Zoning Map (C-11-
2018GI)
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
Over the course of the past 20 years the City of Grand Island has periodically readopted
the official zoning map for the City. This has been standard practice since the City began
using their Geographic Information System (GIS) to manage the zoning map. Prior to the
computerized GIS the process of creating the map was onerous enough that the map was
rarely, if ever, readopted and amendments were made by taping approved changes on to
the official map and noting those changes on a register attached to the map.
Discussion
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held February 7, 2018, the
above item was considered following a public hearing.
On January 24, 2018 the Grand Island City Council approved using a map produced from
the Hall County GIS as the official zoning map for the City of Grand Island based on the
2004 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Grand Island with all changes to the map as
approved through December 31, 2016.
A new map incorporating changes made since the last re-adoption and including other
proposed changes has been prepared. This newly revised copy of the map will be printed
for official use by Council, staff and the general public upon approval. This hearing is
being held for that purpose. This map will also serve to give notice to all parties, that the
Grand Island City limits and 2 mile extraterritorial jurisdiction is as shown on the map.
Following some discussion motion was made by Randone and seconded by Rainforth to
recommend approval to re-adopt the City of Grand Island Zoning Map, with proposed
changes as produced using the Hall County Geographic Information System.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 33 / 158
The motion carried with seven members in favor (Allan, O’Neill, Ruge, Maurer,
Rainforth, Rubio and Randone) and no members voting no or abstaining.

and lot layout within subdivisions. Changes are not always made as annexation occurs. It is
appropriate to occasionally consider changing zoning on properties to more accurately reflect the
surrounding area. The Planning staff is recommending the changes below for adoption as part
of the new zoning map..
Staff is suggesting the 5 changes shown in the table below. All of the proposed changes conform
to the general layout of the future land use map and the existing surrounding uses. None of the
proposed changes will create any non-conforming uses.
The attached Zoning Map shows the new map as it would look if all of the proposed changes are
adopted by the Grand Island City Council. The proposed effective date for this map is April 1,
2018. It is expected that the Grand Island City Council will consider approval of the map at their
meeting on February 27, 2018.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:An Ordinance to include Gard Subdivision as an
Addition to the City of Grand Island, Nebraska and the
adjoining right-of -way
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP Planning Director
Background
The Annexation Component of the Grand Island Comprehensive Development Plan as
adopted by the Grand Island City Council on July 13, 2004 sets as the policy of Grand
Island that any and all property subdivided adjacent to the Corporate Limit of the City of
Grand Island be annexed into the City at the time of subdivision approval.
Randy L. Gard and Vicki J. Gard as the owners of the property, submitted Gard
Subdivision as an Addition to the City of Grand Island. The Hall County Regional
Planning Commission recommended approval of the subdivision at their meeting on
February 7, 2018.
Discussion
Staff has prepared an ordinance in accordance with the requirements of Nebraska Revised
Statute §16-117. Annexation ordinances must be read on three separate occasions. This is
the first reading of the ordinance. This ordinance includes exhibits showing the property
to be considered for annexation and the legal descriptions of that property.
Annexation of this property will not result in the extension of the Grand Island Zoning
Jurisdiction.
One existing residence would be added to the City as a result of this annexation and two
additional building lots will be added.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:

Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Transferring Certified Irrigated Rights
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 rights in the certified 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 (CPNRD) and is leased out for farming. For the
duration of the solar array site the irrigated acres will be dormant.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 46 / 158
City staff is requesting to grant the transfer of four (4) certified irrigated acre rights 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 City will retain
ownership and possession of the land, but will transfer Certified Irrigated Acres to the
property owner of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road through the CPNRD, which regulates the
transfer of groundwater irrigation rights.
The acquisition of public right-of-way is a separate item being presented at the February
27, 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) Certified Irrigated Acre rights 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.

Motion to approve the resolution.

Gold Core Drive

Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 55 / 158
Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject: Ordinance #9679 - Consideration of Addendum for Sale of
Property at 4808 Gold Core Drive
Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
In the 1980’s, the Utilities Department purchased property east of Highway 281 between
Schimmer Road and Wildwood Drive that would be later developed into the Platte Valley
Industrial Park. All of this property has been sold to developers with the exception of
approximately nine acres at 4808 Gold Core Road.
A Request for Proposals for Real Estate Broker Services of City Owned Property at 4808
Gold Core Drive in Grand Island, Nebraska was issued and advertised in accordance with
City Procurement Policies. One response was received from Tracy Babcock of Century
21 Da-Ly Realty, and a listing agreement with her was authorized by Council on
December 12, 2017.
The property at 4808 Gold Core Road was listed for sale by Ms. Babcock on December
13, 2017 for $300,000.00 through the multiple listing service and two offers were
received as of the morning of December 14, 2017.
The highest offer was by Lyne Realty, L.P., for $325,000.00, conditional on performing
environmental and boundary surveys by the buyer. Upon review of this offer, the listing
agent, Legal, and Utilities staff recommended that this was the highest responsive bid for
the property at 4808 Gold Core Road.
Discussion
The executed Farm, Land and Ranch Agreement executed by the City and the Buyer
indicated both the legal lot description and the lot size. The lot size of 9.03 acres was
obtained from the County Assessor’s office and used in the advertisement of the property.
The agreement also included the provision for a Phase 1 environmental survey and a
boundary survey by the Buyer. The completed boundary survey resulted in an actual lot
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 56 / 158
size of 8.91 acres. The Buyer subsequently requested consideration of a pro-rated
deduction of the purchase price of $4,336.00, for a final price of $320,664.00. City staff
has reviewed this request and recommend approval.
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 the deduction of $4,336.00,
for a final property price of $320,664.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the deduction of $4,336.00, for a final property price of $320,664.00.

#2018-49 - Approving NACE Coating Inspection Services for the
Elevated Water Storage Tower
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 88 / 158
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Elevated Water Storage Tower Construction - NACE
Coating Inspection Services
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The City’s water system consists of 21 low pressure wells, located on a 1,200 acre island
in the Platte River, which supplies water to an on-site collection and pumping station.
This pumping station transfers water through transmission mains to several reservoir
stations in the City. These pumping stations provide water for residential and industrial
use as well as fire protection for the City. In early 2015, a Water Master Plan Study was
completed identifying the need for elevated storage, and for a zoned distribution system.
The tank will be painted during the construction. To ensure the paint will last, it is
important to monitor the contractor to ensure proper application of the coating to the
paint manufacturer’s specification.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director

Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Transmission Circuit Breaker Inspection Services,
Contract #18-PCC-01
Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Grand Island electric system utilizes eight 115,000 volt substations at various
locations around the City and a 115,000 volt transmission loop to provide reliable power
to the City. These substations contain, among other components, transmission circuit
breakers that interrupt power to a transmission line when trouble on that line occurs.
Ninety-five percent of the circuit breakers are at least fifteen years old. Manufacturers
recommend performing an internal inspection of the breakers based upon the number of
operations. Records indicate that they are due for that inspection.
Due to the concern of introducing contaminants into the breakers as well as creating gas
leaks by physically opening them up, the industry has moved to a radiological inspection
that essentially x-rays the internal components. Technicians with specialized software can
then determine if the breakers are in need of additional maintenance.
Discussion
The request was advertised in accordance with City procurement requirements.
Specifications were sent to six regional service providers. Bids were publicly opened at
2:00 pm on February 13, 2018. One bid was received from Power Delivery Services, Inc.,
of Omaha, Nebraska for $76,641.00. The bid met all specifications and was under the
engineer’s estimate of $200,000.00.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.

Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:February 27, 2018
Subject:Gas Turbine #3 Modified Hot Gas Path Inspection at
Burdick Generating Station
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Gas Turbine #3 is located at the Burdick Generating Station. The unit was commissioned
in 2003 and is used for electrical power generation, primarily operating as a peaking unit
for the City. A Borescope inspection performed in September of 2017 revealed that a
compressor blade had come loose. An additional borescope inspection was done to find
the liberated blade, but it was not located. Without knowing where the blade is located in
the unit, it could move and cause further damage in the unit.
Discussion
Specifications for the Gas Turbine #3 Modified Hot Gas Path Inspection to include
repairing the liberated compressor blade were advertised and issued for bid in accordance
with the City Purchasing Code. Bids were publicly opened on February 15, 2018. The
engineer’s estimate for this project was $500,000.00.

Bids were reviewed by plant engineering staff. The bid from S.T. Cotter Turbine
Services, Inc., does not meet the specification requirements. Requirements not met were
minimum experience, list of Technical Information Letters (TILs) not provided, no list of
spare parts, and quote for 2nd stage buckets. Ethos Energy, LLC, did not meet all of the
requirements of the bid specification. Requirements not met by Ethos Energy include,
determination of unit configuration, list of TILs not provided, no guarantee of parts
number accuracy, proposed division of responsibilities not compliant with the bid

#2018-54 - Approving Request from Grand Island Substance
Abuse Prevention Coalition/Tobacco Free Hall County for
Permission to Use City Streets/Trails and State Highway for the
Outrun Addiction Family Fun Run

Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Approving Request from Grand Island
Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition / Tobacco Free
Hall County for Permission to Use City Streets/Trails and
State Highway for the Outrun Addiction Family Fun Run
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Grand Island Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition / Tobacco Free Hall County
organization has submitted a request to use both City streets and State highway for the
Outrun Addiction Family Fun Run, which is scheduled to take place on May 19, 2018
from approximately 9:00am to 12:00pm. Council approval and notice to the Nebraska
Department of Roads is necessary for the route of such event.
Discussion
The Outrun Addiction Family Fun Run will require the use of City streets/trails, as well
as crossing US Highway 34. 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.
The Grand Island Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition / Tobacco Free Hall County
organization 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.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 119 / 158
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 The Grand Island Substance
Abuse Prevention Coalition / Tobacco Free Hall County organization’s route for the
Outrun Addiction Family Fun Run and direct that the Nebraska Department of Roads be
notified of this action.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

#2018-56 - Approving Transferring Certified Irrigated Rights from
the City of Grand Island to Marcos A. and Josefina Villanueva
(2725 E Seedling Mile Road)
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 126 / 158
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Transferring Certified Irrigated Rights
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 rights in the certified 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 (CPNRD) and is leased out for farming. For the
duration of the solar array site the irrigated acres will be dormant.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 127 / 158
City staff is requesting to grant the transfer of four (4) certified irrigated acre rights 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 City will retain
ownership and possession of the land, but will transfer Certified Irrigated Acres to the
property owner of 2725 E Seedling Mile Road through the CPNRD, which regulates the
transfer of groundwater irrigation rights.
The acquisition of public right-of-way is a separate item being presented at the February
27, 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) Certified Irrigated Acre rights 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.

#2018-57 - Approving Amendment No. 1 for Engineering
Consulting Services Related to Lift Station No. 11 Relocation and
Force Main Reroute
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 133 / 158
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Approving Amendment No. 1 for Engineering
Consulting Services Related to Lift Station No. 11
Relocation and Force Main Reroute
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The existing Lift Station No. 11, which is located on 8th Street between Custer Avenue
and Howard Avenue at 2511 W 8th Street, is in need of upgrade. The hospital contributes
debris and rags that clog the current pumps, the wet well does not have sufficient
capacity, and there is no space for a stand-by generator. A new submersible, duplex style
lift station, with a grinder pump on the influent, and a stand-by generator is planned for a
larger, nearby location.
A new 6-inch force main will be re-routed from the South Interceptor to the North
Interceptor. Lift Station No. 11 contributes an average of 100-150 thousand gallons per
day to the South Interceptor. The Lift Station No. 11 upgrade & re-route will alleviate
some capacity issues in the South Interceptor by re-routing Lift Station No. 11 force main
to the North Interceptor.
Olsson Associates performed a Lift Station No. 11 abandonment evaluation in October
2016 showing that the total construction and engineering costs would approximate
$5.85M. The Public Works Engineering Division determined that Lift Station No. 11
abandonment with a deep, gravity connection to the North Interceptor would not be a cost
effective option. The Public Works Engineering Division has planned for an alternative
option which is to upgrade Lift Station No. 11 and re-route the existing force main.
On September 26, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-263, City Council approved an
agreement with Olsson Associates of Lincoln, Nebraska in the amount of $128,342.00 for
engineering design services related to Lift Station No. 11 Relocation and Force Main
Reroute.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 134 / 158
Discussion
The original agreement with Olsson Associates requires an amendment to cover
construction administration services, construction observation services, and project
closeout. This amendment will be in the amount of $131,705.00 for a revised agreement
of $260,047.00.
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
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the
original agreement with Olsson Associates of Lincoln, Nebraska, in the amount of
$131,705.00.

Subject:Approving Amendment No. 2 to Engineering Consulting
Agreement for 13th Street Roadway Improvements;

Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Roadway improvements along 13th Street from North Road to Moores Creek, 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.
On August 22, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-236, City Council approved an agreement
with Alfred Benesch & Company of Lincoln, Nebraska in the amount of $15,000.00 for
13th Street Roadway Improvements; Project No. 2018-P-1. This agreement accounts for
design concepts for the proposed three lane curb and gutter roadway section with
associated sidewalk and other miscellaneous improvements, such as drainage.
On October 10, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-278, City Council approved Amendment
No. 1 to the original agreement to include final design services in the amount of
$141,281.25, resulting in a revised agreement amount of $156,281.25.
Discussion
It is now requested to add construction observation services to the original agreement
with Alfred Benesch & Company, in the amount of $255,896.97 for a revised agreement
total of $412,178.22.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 148 / 158
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue

original agreement with Alfred Benesch & Company of Lincoln, Nebraska, in the amount
of $255,896.97.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

#2018-45 - Approving Amendment to Resolution for Change Order
#1 for the Grand Island Veteran's Athletic Field Construction
Phase 2
Staff Contact: Todd McCoy
Grand Island Council Session - 2/27/2018 Page 151 / 158
Council Agenda Memo
From:Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting:February 27, 2018
Subject:Approve to Amend Resolution 2018-45 to Change Order
No. 1 to Nemaha Landscape Construction Inc.
Presenter(s):Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
On October 24, 2017 City Council approved, by Resolution 2017-306, the bid award to
Nemaha Landscape Construction Inc. to build six new youth multipurpose
baseball/softball fields, concessions, restrooms, and additional parking at the Veterans
Athletic Field Complex in the amount of $5,577,348.00.
On February 13, 2018 City Council approved Change Order No. 1 by Resolution 2018-45
in the amount of $21,907.00 increasing the amount of the contract to $5,599,255.00.
Discussion
On February 14, 2018 it came to my attention that Resolution 2018-45 contained an error
with respect to the stated cost of relocating the existing 6” irrigation main. The correct
dollar amount that should have been listed is $7,580.00. By correcting the dollar amount
it does not change the total dollar amount of change order No. 1.
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 - 2/27/2018 Page 152 / 158
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the City Council approve the amended Resolution
2018-45 correcting the dollar amount for relocating the existing 6” irrigation main to
$7,580.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Amended Resolution 2018-45 Change Order No. 1 to Nemaha
Landscape Construction of Lincoln, Nebraska.
