Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Water Main District 469T – Engleman Road – Stolley
Park Road North ½ Mile – Board of Equalization
Presenter(s):Ryan Schmitz, Assistant Utilities Director,
Engineering/Business Management
Background
Water Main District 469T provided for a 20” diameter water main to be constructed
along Engleman Road from Stolley Park Road, north for approximately ½ mile. The
work was part of the Utilities Department’s Master Plan for water system improvements
along the westerly side of the City.
Discussion
The work was installed by the Diamond Engineering Company of Grand Island,
Nebraska under a contract awarded by the Council on March 14, 2017, and has been fully
completed in accordance with the contract documents, plans and specifications. Unit
prices were provided in the Contract and specified that the contractor be paid on the basis
of actual quantity installed, times the Contract’s unit prices. The construction was
completed for a total amount of $287,056.79. Additional costs included:
Utilities Engineering Division Labor & Overhead $ 25,292.99
Water Department Materials $ 4,956.87
Hall County Dept. of Roads – Road Detour $ 1,677.74
TOTAL Cost for Water Main District 469T $318,984.38
Of the district’s total installed cost, $71,951.49 is a Utilities Department expense for the
oversize of the piping to meet system requirements. The remaining $247,332.90 is the
amount eligible for computing the district’s connection fees.
When customers desire to begin receiving service from the referenced water main, they
are required to pay a connection fee. The connection fee is based on the total eligible cost
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 8 / 176
of the district, divided by the front footage of the properties with the district’s boundary.
The connection (tap) fees for properties within the District are $53.325191 per front foot.
Attached for reference are copies of:
Listing of eligible costs
Tabulation of connection fees for the properties within the district
District’s boundary plat
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 sit as a Board of Equalization to
establish the connection fees for the properties within the Water Main District 469T’s
boundary.
Sample Motion
Move to sit as a Board of Equalization to establish the connection fees for the properties
within Water Main District 469T.

From:RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Meeting:March 13, 2018
Subject:Public Hearing on Request from Casey’s Retail Company
dba Casey’s General Store#2732, 4150 W. Highway 30
for a Class “D” 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
Casey’s Retail Company dba Casey’s General Store #2732, 4150 W. Highway 30 has
submitted an application for a Class “D” Liquor License. A Class “D” Liquor License
allows for the sale of alcohol off sale only 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.
This location currently has a Class “B” Liquor License which is for beer off sale only.
Since there is no change in ownership or manager, the Police Department doesn’t object
to Casey’s General Store #2732 having a Class “D” Liquor License.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 16 / 176
Also submitted was a request for Liquor Manager Designation for Tina Krings, 1212
Blue Stem Circle, Norfolk, Nebraska. Ms. Krings 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 Casey’s Retail Company dba Casey’s General Store
#2732, 4150 W. Highway 30 for a Class “D” Liquor License contingent upon final
inspections and Liquor Manager Designation for Tina Krings, 1212 Blue Stem Circle,
Norfolk, Nebraska.

Item E-3
Public Hearing on Acquisition of the Former Armory Property
located at 2900 W. Old Potash Highway
Council action will take place under Resolution item I-2.

Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 24 / 176
Council Agenda Memo
From:Marlan Ferguson, City Administrator
Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Purchase of Former Nebraska Guard Armory
Presenter(s):Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Background
The State of Nebraska issued a public notice soliciting offers for the sale and purchase of
the former Nebraska Guard Armory Building at 2900 West Old Potash Highway, Grand
Island. Because this property is surrounded on three sides by city park ground and
provides much needed public parking for participating in softball activities in the abutting
ball fields, the acquisition of the property was deemed to be in the best interests of the
City. Additionally, the size and configuration of the building would afford a multitude of
potential uses.
In response to the public notice, City Administration and the City’s Mayor submitted a
purchase agreement for consideration by the State of Nebraska. The purchase agreement,
if accepted by the State, requires ratification and approval by council no later than March
28, 2018. If not so ratified, the agreement becomes null, void, and of no effect and the
parties released for any obligations or liabilities thereon.
Discussion
As of the preparation of this memo, the City has not received word whether its offer has
been accepted by the State, rejected by the State, or whether the State intends to make a
counter-offer. Thus, due to the uncertain state of negotiations for the purchase of this
property, the proposed purchase agreement and the price offered by the City is not
included within this memo or the proposed resolution. Further status information is
expected by the end of business day of Friday. Council packet information, which is
publicly disseminated, will be updated or supplemented when and if it can be done
without damage to the city’s best interests in negotiating the purchase terms.

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

Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the Resolution ratifying and
approving the purchase agreement between the City and the State of Nebraska for the
purchase of the former Nebraska Guard Armory Building at 2900 West Old Potash
Highway, Grand Island.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Resolution.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Public Hearing on Acquisition of Sidewalk Easement at
3812 West 13th Street (Blender, 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 3812 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.

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

#9681 - Consideration of Creation of Street Improvement District
No. 1265; Jay Street – Capital Avenue to Dack Avenue
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 39 / 176
Council Agenda Memo
From:John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Creation of Street Improvement District
No. 1265; Jay Street – Capital Avenue to Dack Avenue
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Council action is needed to create a Street Improvement District. If the District is created,
a notice will be mailed to all affected property owners and a 20-day protest period will
begin. If the district passes the protest and the Council continues the district, plans will be
prepared. The City will then bid, construct, and levy special assessments for the work.
This district is being presented at the request of Councilmember Haase, and consists of
Jay Street extending north from Capital Avenue to the existing hard surface portion of
Jay Street at Dack Avenue.
Discussion
Requests to pave this section of roadway date back to 1988, with a lack of support to
continue with paving improvements for the southern portion of Jay Street (Capital
Avenue to Dack Avenue).
Street Improvement District No. 1159 was created via Ordinance No. 7472 with approval
from City Council on July 5, 1988. On August 15, 1988 such district was discontinued
with 52.4% of the total district frontage protesting.
Street Improvement District No. 1171, representing the northern portion of Jay Street,
(Dack Avenue north past David Avenue) was created via Ordinance No 7490 with
approval from City Council on August 29, 1988. Such improvements were completed
June 1990 with an average assessment to the affected fourteen (14) properties in the
amount of $3,680.00. The southern portion of Jay Street was removed from this district
with the belief that the northern portion held more support for paving improvements.
Street Improvement District No. 1179G failed creation via Ordinance No. 7796 with City
Council voting to deny (yes-2, no-7, abstain-1). City Council did approve Resolution No.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 40 / 176
1992-102 developing a policy to address pavement of gravel streets within the City.
Such resolution is attached for reference; however the southern segment of Jay Street
does not meet the conditions of the Resolution. Said resolution allows gravel roads to be
hard paved without curb and gutter if the segment of road is surrounded by paved roads
without curb, gutter and storm sewer. The norther portions of Jay Street are paved with
concrete curb and gutter.
Street Improvement District No. 1241 was created via Ordinance No. 8700 with approval
from City Council on October 23, 2001. On December 4, 2001 such district was
discontinued with 62.55% of the total district frontage protesting.
An alternative to ensure success would be for Council to cause such improvements
through Gap Paving, which would not give a protest opportunity for the affected property
owners; however would offer them the same repayment schedule as an improvement
district. If this is the preferred method for improving this section of roadway, staff
recommends a public hearing for the affected property owners.

portion to be so improved shall not exceed two blocks, including intersections, or thirteen hundred and
twenty-five feet, whichever is the lesser. Such city or village may also grade, curb, gutter, and pave
any unpaved street or alley which intersects a paved street for a distance of not to exceed one block on
either side of such paved street. The improvements authorized by this section may be performed upon
any portion of a street or any unpaved street or alley not previously improved to meet or exceed the
minimum standards for pavement set by the city or village for its paved streets.

18-2003. Special taxes and assessments; bonds; warrants; interest on amounts due; contractor;
sinking fund
In order to defray the costs and expenses of the improvements authorized by sections 18-2001 and 18-
2002, the mayor and council or chairman and board of trustees, as the case may be, may levy and
collect special taxes and assessments upon the lots and parcels of real estate adjacent to or abutting
upon the portion of the street or alley thus improved, or which may be specially benefited by such
improvements, notwithstanding that the same may be unplatted and not subdivided; and the method of
levying, equalizing, and collecting such special assessments, and generally financing such
improvements by bond issues and other means, shall be as provided by law for paving and street
improvements in such municipality. For the purpose of paying the cost of street improvements as
provided in section 18-2001 the mayor and council or chairman and board of trustees, as the case may
be, shall have the power, after the improvements have been completed and accepted, to issue
negotiable bonds of such city or village to be called Paving Bonds, payable in not exceeding fifteen
years and bearing interest payable annually or semiannually, which may be sold by the city for not
less than the par value thereof. For the purpose of making partial payments as the work progresses,
warrants bearing interest may be issued by the governing body of the city or village upon certificates
of the engineer in charge showing the amount of work completed and materials necessarily purchased
and delivered for the orderly and proper continuation of the project, in a sum not exceeding ninety-
five percent of the cost thereof until the work has been completed and accepted by the city or village,
at which time a warrant for the balance of the amount may be issued, which warrants shall be
redeemed and paid upon the sale of the bonds or from any other funds available. The city or village
shall pay to the contractor interest at the rate of eight percent per annum on the amounts due on partial
and final payments beginning forty-five days after the certification of the amounts due by the engineer
in charge and approval by the governing body, and running until the date that the warrant is tendered
to the contractor. All special assessments which may be levied upon property specially benefited by
such work or improvements shall, when collected, be set aside and constitute a sinking fund for the
payment of the interest and principal of such bonds. There shall be levied annually upon all taxable
property in such city or village a tax which, together with such sinking fund derived from special
assessments, shall be sufficient to meet payments of interest and principal as the same become due.

South Front Street to Wing Empire, Inc.
Staff Contact: Jerry Janulewicz
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 51 / 176
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Purchase – Sale Agreement with Wing Empire, Inc.
Presenter(s):Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
John Collins, Public Works Director
Background
Wing Empire, Inc., is the owner of 115 East South Front Street, Grand Island, a building
formerly used by Williams Furniture and is now the location of Prairie Pride Brewery.
Access to the Prairie Pride business and the business’ outdoor deck is located at the west
side of the building and upon the easterly 8 feet of Lot 3, Block 54, Original Town of
Grand Island. Lot 3 is owned by the City of Grand Island. Lots 3 and 4 comprise the land
utilized for public parking at the southeast corner of the intersection of Pine Street and
East South Front Street. The City Public Works Department previously issued a license
authorizing the above-mentioned use of this strip of the parking lot. However, the license
can be terminated by the city at any time, for cause or for no cause. Prairie Pride’s
business is dependent upon this public access, thus it is seeking to purchase this 8-foot
wide strip in order to provide permanence to its continued use.
Discussion
The Proposed Real Estate Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) would, if approved by
Council through adoption of an ordinance, authorize the execution of the Purchase
Agreement and direct the sale of the above-mentioned property to Wing Empire, Inc. for
a cash payment of $4,847.00. Additionally, the buyer, at its sole cost and expense, would
be required to cause Lots 2, 3, and 4 to be re-platted and to reconstruct the northerly
parking lot entrances to provide improved alignment with the driving lanes. The purchase
price offered is based upon the sale price of vacant land located at the intersection of
West Third Street and Elm Street.
As provided by law, notice of the sale and the terms of sale are required to be published
for three consecutive weeks in a newspaper published for general circulation in the City
of Grand Island. The City Clerk is directed and instructed to prepare and publish said
notice.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 52 / 176
The electors of the City of Grand Island may file a remonstrance against the sale of the
real estate. If a remonstrance petition against the sale is signed by registered voters of the
City of Grand Island equal in number to thirty percent of the registered voters of the City
of Grand Island voting at the last regular city election held in the City and is filed with
the City Council within thirty days of passage and publication of such ordinance, said
property shall not then, nor within one year thereafter, be conveyed.
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 adopt the Ordinance approving the
Purchase Sale Agreement with Wing Empire, Inc. and directing the sale subject to public
remonstrance.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Ordinance No. 9682.

of Hall County through a combination of buses, vans, and discounted cab vouchers.
The City of Grand Island occupies the predominant portion of an area designated as an
Urbanized Area (UZA) by the Bureau of the Census following the 2010 census. In 2013, the
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 64 / 176
Page 3, City Council Study Session, March 20, 2018
Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) was established to serve as
the formal transportation planning body for the greater Grand Island metropolitan region.
In July 2016, the City Council approval an inter-local agreement where the City agreed to
provide public transit services within Hall County and the City of Grand Island through contract
services with Senior Citizens Industries, Inc. for an initial twelve month term.
Olsson Associates, Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska was hired to perform engineering services for the
Regional Transit Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study.
The study had recommended the Fiscally Constrained Plan over the Illustrative Plan as the five
year plan for the City of Grand Island and Hall County. The Fiscally Constrained Plan was based
upon technical data analysis, the public engagement process for this study, and the realistic
financial projections for the City for the next five years. This plan included 24-hour Reservation,
Demand Response Service (Status Quo) as the primary service for Grand Island and Hall
County, van pool services in coordination with Enterprise, rideshare program, planning study for
Intercity Bus Service to/from Kearney and Hastings, branding for the transit service (new look,
new image, new name), and increase in transit marketing.
Discussion was held concerning the intercity transportation to Kearney and Hastings and if there
was a need. Mr. Zafft stated there were Federal and State funds available for this service.
Transit Program Manager Charley Falmlen presented the Implementation Plan. The next step
was for a service contract bid to be released in 2018. The City would enter into a status-quo
service contract with only minor changes to the service being offered currently. Branding was
scheduled for spring of 2018. It was mentioned that a new name would be implemented (on
buses and brochures) and a new website and social media would be established.
The Inter-City Service part of the plan would be routes based in Grand Island which would travel
to and from Hastings and Kearney. Emphasis would be on the Grand Island-centered Inter-
Modal travel (bus and airport connections). Phase I of this plan would establish drop off/pick up
sites and would roll out the initial routes. Phase II would include additional stop along Hwy 30
and Hwy 281.
The last part of the plan was for a rideshare app and vanpool. The rideshare app was very simple
to implement which was purchase and go. Much marketing and publicity would be needed to
establish working base of users. The Vanpool was a State program which the City would
participate in. Vans were provided to employees to commute together to and from work. It would
require extensive outreach to be conducted with industries and employers in town.
Discussion was held concerning fixed routes, flexible routes, and the demand for these services.
Those people who are currently using the service would have no change with this plan.
Ron Depue, 1508 Warbler Circle complimented Mr. Zafft and Ms. Falmlen on the job they were
doing. He also complimented Olsson Associates for the study they performed confirming the
need for public transit. Access to reliable transportation was a need within the City and the City
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 65 / 176
Page 4, City Council Study Session, March 20, 2018
needed to make an attempt to meet that need. He recommended cooperating with Hall County
and businesses to bring that to fruition.
Valarie Roth, 2003 West Division Street commented on those people who needed transportation.
Discussion was held regarding the current 24 hour notification for rides through the Hall County
Public Transportation service. Ms. Falmlen stated the 24 hour notification was a requirement
through the service contract.
Karen Rathke representing the Heartland United Way commented on the limited options for
public transportation in Grand Island and supported the plan.
Mayor Jensen thanked reporter Austin Koeller from The Grand Island Independent for his
coverage of government news. This was his last meeting as he would be covering education.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:26 p.m.

#2018-78 - Approving Interlocal Agreement with Grand Island
Public Schools for Improvements to William Street
Staff Contact: Jerry Janulewicz
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 83 / 176
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Approving Interlocal Agreement with Grand Island
Public Schools for Improvements to William Street
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
Hall County School District 40-0002 a/k/a Grand Island Public Schools (“GIPS”) is
constructing a new Stolley Park Elementary School. As part of this project, GIPS
expressed a desire to improve traffic flow and safety near the school by way of
improvements to William Street. GIPS has offered to equally share with the City of
Grand Island the cost of improvements to William Street in the area of the newly
constructed Stolley Park Elementary. The proposed improvements include reconstruction
of a part of William Street in order to align it with Spring Road at the north side of
Stolley Park Road.
Discussion
By realigning William Street with Spring Road on the north side of Stolley Park Road,
the City will benefit as there will be only one (1) intersection instead of two (2) in close
proximity to one another. With this shift, safer turn movements off of Stolley Park Road
onto William Street or Spring Road will occur especially with the added left turn lanes
that are to occur with the upcoming Stolley Park Road project.
Under the terms of the proposed agreement the City and GIPS would equally share the
William Street project costs estimated to be $250,000.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 84 / 176
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the Interlocal Agreement with
Grand Island Public Schools for equal cost sharing of the William Street improvements.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

(Blender, 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, at no cost.

Use City Streets, Hike/Bike Trail, and State Highway for the 2018
Nebraska State Fair Marathons

Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Consideration of Approving Request from the YMCA for
Permission to Use City Streets, Hike/Bike Trail, and
State Highway for the 2018 Nebraska State Fair
Marathons
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The YMCA is seeking Council approval and notice to the Nebraska Department of
Transportation (NDOT) for the routes involved in the Nebraska State Fair Marathons.
Discussion
The 2018 Nebraska State Fair Marathon is proposed for the morning of Saturday, August
25, 2018. The Marathon routes will require the use of City streets and bike trails, crossing
US Highway 34 and running in one lane of US Highway 30. Please see the attached maps
for the 1 mile, 5K, half marathon, and full marathon routes.
State Statute 39-1359 requires the City Council to approve the route and for the City to
then inform the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) 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 Marathon planners from the YMCA and Nebraska State Fair have met with Public
Safety, Public Works, County Highway Department, and other affected agencies in
planning for the event. The routes being presented to the Council for approval have been
agreed upon as the best identified, with changes made to the routes for this year.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 103 / 176

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 YMCA’s presented routes
for the 2018 Nebraska State Fair Marathons and direct that the Nebraska Department of
Transportation (NDOT) be notified of this action.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

Project No. 2015-P-1 – Federal Aid Project No. HSIP-5402(5),
Control No. 42812

Waiver in Connection with Stolley Park Road
Reconfiguration; City Project No. 2015-P-1 – Federal
Aid Project No. HSIP-5402(5), Control No. 42812
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On June 24, 2014 staff presented options for reconfiguring Stolley Park Road, which
required removing parking along the roadway from US Highway 281 to South Locust
Street. City Council adopted the No Parking Zone on both sides of Stolley Park Road,
from US Highway 281 to South Locust Street, at their July 8, 2014 meeting by
Resolution No. 2014-192.
On November 24, 2015, via Resolution No. 2015-329, Grand Island City Council
approved an agreement between the City and Nebraska Department of Transportation
(NDOT) to allow for local funding of the Stolley Park Road Reconfiguration.
The reconfiguration of Stolley Park Road qualified as a Federal-aid Transportation Safety
project meaning federal funding is available through the NDOT. The federal share
payable on any portion of a local federal-aid safety project is a maximum of 90% of the
eligible participating costs, while the Local Public Agency (LPA) is responsible for the
remaining 10% as well as all other nonparticipating or ineligible costs of the project. The
current estimate for this project was $1,820,240.16, with the LPA share being
$364,215.29.
Such project consists of Stolley Park Road striping reconfiguration from Webb Road to
Locust Street, which includes pavement surface treatment and maintenance for
preparation of the roadway re-striping. The existing roadway is a 46 foot concrete curb
and gutter section and consists of two (2) 12 foot lanes with 11 foot no parking areas. The
proposed roadway cross section will consist of a four lane undivided section from Webb
Road to just west of Brentwood Boulevard, five lane section from just west of Brentwood
Boulevard to St. Joe Bike Trail, and a three lane section with multi-use shoulders from St.
Joe Bike Trail to Locust Street. This project will right size the lane configuration to
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 111 / 176
optimize safety and efficiency, and meet the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
safety program requirements.
With the City utilizing Federal funds for this project, it is required the roadway right-of-
way be cleared of obstructions or such be permitted.
Discussion
The City of Grand Island and Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) District 4
Permit Officer reviewed the project corridor on March 1, 2018, with encroachments
identified that need to be addressed.
On March 9, 2018 license agreements were sent to the affected 6 (six) property owners,
which permit the identified encroachment to remain in public right-of-way adjacent to
their property. The identified encroachments have existed for several years and through
no fault of the property owner need to be addressed. Public Works Administration is
requesting permission to waive the $175.00 License Agreement Application Fee (shown
in FY 2017/2018 Budget), on the basis of this being a federally funded project.
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 waiver of the License
Agreement Application Fee in connection with properties along Stolley Park Road
Reconfiguration; City Project No. 2015-P-1 – Federal Aid Project No. HSIP-5402(5),
Control No. 42812.

From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Approving Change Order No. 1 for West Stolley Park
Road and Engleman Road Sanitary Sewer Extension;
Project No. 2017-S-3 and Sanitary Sewer District No.
540T
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Diamond Engineering Company of Grand Island, Nebraska was awarded a
$747,545.56 contract on January 23, 2018, via Resolution No. 2018-19, for West Stolley
Park Road and Engleman Sanitary Sewer Extension; Project No. 2017-S-3 and Sanitary
Sewer District No. 540T.
Sanitary Sewer Project No. 2017-S-3 is an extension of the sanitary sewer from Stolley
Park Road and Freedom Drive intersection west to just beyond the planned new US
Highway 30 west realignment. This extension would be difficult and costly after the new
highway is constructed. Sanitary Sewer District No. 540T continues west to areas
between the existing Highway 30 alignment and the proposed realignment including the
West Park Plaza Mobile Home Park. West Park Plaza and property along the existing
Highway 30 route are currently within city limits and in need of City sanitary services.
Discussion
Change Order No. 1 to the referenced project is being requested to establish new unit
prices for gravel bedding in the 15” and 21” sanitary sewer pipe, which will be used in
lieu of the rock bedding. The gravel bedding is less costly than the rock bedding, thus an
overall savings on the project, and will be used when the native bedding is unsuitable.
The subgrade contains variable silt/clay layers that do not support use of native bedding
in some of the project areas. When dewatering does not completely drain the subgrade
the gravel bedding will also aid in providing a dry foundation.
In order to complete this work Change Order No. 1 is necessary, in the amount of
$36,056.10, resulting in a revised contract agreement of $783,601.66.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Approving Amendment No. 3 to Engineering Consulting
Agreement for Sanitary Sewer Collection System
Rehabilitation – Various Locations
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
There are approximately 230 miles of gravity sewer within the City of Grand Island’s
collection system. The majority of this infrastructure is between 26 and 75 years old, and
between 8 and 18 inches in diameter. The majority of the sanitary sewer rehabilitations
are related to old clay tile pipe and or damaged / dilapidated manholes.
On August 23, 2016, via Resolution No. 2016-199, City Council approved an agreement
with Alfred Benesch & Company of Lincoln, Nebraska in the amount of $45,861.82 for
Sanitary Sewer Collection System Rehabilitation in various locations in the City.
On March 13, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-75, City Council approved Amendment No.
1 to allow repacking and rebidding of the project to address open cut portions that are in
immediate need of rehabilitation and repair, as no bids were received during the initial
letting on February 21, 2017. The remainder of the work was set to be addressed in the
future. Amendment No. 1 increased the original agreement by $26,220.00 for a revised
total of $72,081.82.
On August 8, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-214, City Council approved Amendment
No. 2 to cover construction management, project observation, material testing, and
project closeout. Amendment No. 2 increased the original agreement by $59,000.00, for a
revised agreement total of $131,081.82.
Discussion
To address additional construction phase services due to an extended completion date on
this project, as well as four (4) additional open cut sections (Bismark and South Locust
manhole, obstruction on Stolley Park Road, obstruction in pipe section 22197 due to
CIPP issue curing, and hammer tap on Stolley Park Road) on the Sanitary Sewer
Collection System Rehabilitation – Various Locations; Open Cut project a third

amendment with Alfred Benesch & Company is requested. This amendment will cover
the remainder of construction phase services and project closeout in an amount not to
exceed $29,000.00, for a revised agreement total of $160,081.82.
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. 3 to the
original agreement with Alfred Benesch & Company of Lincoln, Nebraska, in the amount
of $29,000.00.

#2018-85 - Approving Bid Award for Lift Station No. 11 Relocation
– 2018; Project No. 2018-S-1
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 133 / 176
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Approving Bid Award for Lift Station No. 11 Relocation –
2018; Project No. 2018-S-1
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On February 10, 2018 the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department advertised for
bids for Lift Station No. 11 Relocation – 2018; Project No. 2018-S-1.
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.
Discussion
Three (3) bids were received and opened on March 20, 2018. 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.

Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 167 / 176
Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:March 27, 2018
Subject:Request of Robert & Michelle Fry for Approval to
Replace Fire Damaged Dwelling with a Modular
Dwelling at 3585 N. Hwy # 281, Grand Island
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
This request is for approval to replace a fire damaged dwelling on the property located at
3585 N. Highway #281 with a modular dwelling. The property is zoned M-2 Heavy
Manufacturing, within that zoning classification any residential use is specifically
excluded.
As the existing dwelling predated current zoning regulations the dwelling was by code a
legal nonconforming use and was allowed to continue as such by section 36-30. However
section 36-33 requires nonconforming buildings damaged to more than 50% shall not be
reconstructed except in conformance with the code. Additionally section 36-35 allows
rebuilding if the City Council deems it proper.
§36-30. Nonconforming Buildings and Uses; Continuation
The lawful use of land or buildings existing on June 30, 1969, although such does not conform to
the provisions hereof, may be continued except as provided herein, but if continuous operation is
suspended, ceased or discontinued for a period of twelve months, any further use of said land or buildings
shall be in conformity with the provisions of this chapter.
§36-31. Nonconforming Buildings and Uses; Repairs or Alterations
No structural alterations shall be made to any building which will increase its degree of
nonconformity except as may be ordered or required by law, ordinance or regulations. This shall not be
construed to prohibit maintenance and repair work necessary to keep a building in sound condition.
§36-32. Nonconforming Buildings and Uses; Change of Use
If no structural alterations are made, a nonconforming use of a building may be changed to a
different use if that use is more conforming in nature. No use or building shall be permitted to increase the
degree of nonconformity. The principal permitted uses listed under a specific zoning district shall be
interpreted to have the same degree of nonconformity in applying this chapter. A residential use located in
an industrial zone shall be interpreted as having a high degree of nonconformity.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 168 / 176
§36-33. Nonconforming Buildings and Uses; Destruction and Reconstruction
Any nonconforming building which has been damaged by fire, flood, wind, riot, or any other
cause to an extent of more than fifty percent of its replacement value exclusive of land and foundation, at
the time of such damage or destruction, shall not be reconstructed except in conformance with the
provisions of this chapter. If damage is less than fifty percent, it may be restored and used as before,
provided, that such restoration is commenced within twelve months. If construction is not commenced
within twelve months, the use of such land or building shall thereafter conform with the provisions of this
chapter.
§36-34. Nonconforming Buildings and Uses; Discontinuance or Abandonment
A building, structure or portion thereof, all or substantially all of which is designed or intended for
a use which is not permitted in the zoning district in which it is located, which is, or hereafter becomes,
vacant and remains unoccupied or is not used for a continuous period of twelve months, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been discontinued and abandoned as a nonconforming use, and shall not
thereafter be occupied or used except by a use which conforms to the use regulations of the zoning district
in which it is located.
§36-35. Nonconforming Buildings and Uses; Extension of Nonconforming Uses
The city council may, when it deems proper, permit repairs, alterations, extensions, expansions,
and the remodeling or rebuilding of such structures or extensions or expansions of a land use in all cases
where a refusal to do so would bring hardship to the owner or occupants and in all cases where justice
requires the granting of the same. The city council may attach appropriate conditions to the granting of any
such relief. Whenever a use district shall be hereafter changed, any then existing nonconforming use in
such changed district may be continued or changed to a use permitted in that zoning district, provided, all
other regulations governing the new use are complied with.
Discussion
This request is for approval to replace a fire damaged dwelling with a modular dwelling
on a property zoned M-2 Heavy Manufacturing. Residential uses within the M-2 zoning
classification are specifically excluded and not allowed. However, as the dwelling was an
existing legal nonconforming use it was allow to remain until such time as it was
destroyed to more than 50% of the replacement value. At this time it is only allowed to be
rebuilt if approved by the City Council finding that refusal to do so would bring a
hardship to the owner or occupants and in all cases where justice requires the granting of
the same.
The property is surrounded on three sides by property zoned TA which would allow
dwellings, it is this property and extending south that the M-2 zoning classification is
present.
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:
Grand Island Council Session - 3/27/2018 Page 169 / 176
1.Approve the request to allow continued nonconforming use 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 use 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, 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. Staff would recommend a time
frame of one year to complete the placement of the modular and removal of the fire
damaged structure.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the request to allow the replacement of the nonconforming fire
damaged dwelling with a modular dwelling, including the staff recommendations, finding
that the application conforms with the purpose of the zoning regulations.
