Item F-3
#9741 - Consideration of Amending Chapter 12-5 of the Grand
Island City Code to Include Lieutenant Positions in the Police
Department
Staff Contact: Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019 Page 14 / 168
Council Agenda Memo
From:Police Department
Meeting:July 9, 2019
Subject:Consideration of Amending Chapter 12 of the City Code
Presenter(s):Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Background
The Grand Island Police Department is proposing that we add the rank of Lieutenant to
our organization. The main reason we are looking at doing this is due to the current Span
of Control for our Patrol Captain position. Span of Control is defined as the number of
subordinates who report to one supervisory/management employee. Our Patrol Captain
currently supervises ten Sergeants, which we feel is too large of a number to be effective.
Research shows that the optimal Span of Control of any individual with administrative
supervisory responsibility should range from three to seven subordinates. We feel that
additional ancillary benefits of this restructure will lead to a better managed and more
efficient department and will free up time for Sergeants to concentrate on field
supervisory duties as opposed to administrative duties in the office.
Chapter 12 of the City Code deals with Civil Service Rules. The positions that are
covered under the Civil Service are listed under sub-paragraph 5. The only positions at
the City that are recognized as Civil Service positions are the sworn positions in the
Police and Fire departments.
Discussion
Our proposal is to eliminate one of our current three Captains after that Captain retires
effective 7-11-19 (we will go from a three Captain to a two Captain department). We will
replace that Captain with a Lieutenant that will be assigned to the Criminal Investigation
Division. We propose that we then promote two of our current Sergeants (positions come
from our two Overlap Shifts) up to the rank of Lieutenant and those two Lieutenants will
be assigned to our Patrol Division, making three Lieutenants total for the department.
The Human Resources Department did do a review of the cities that are contained in our
salary array and received information back from all eight cities. All eight of those cities
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019 Page 15 / 168
in our array currently have Lieutenant positions. Several of the closest cities in our area,
Kearney, Hastings, and North Platte, also work under a two-Captain system similar to
what we are proposing with the creation of one Administration Captain and one
Operations Captain. This type of system seems to work well within the functionality of
the two-Captain agencies that we have spoken to. The majority of these agencies also
have a Lieutenant or Sergeant in charge of supervising their Criminal Investigation
sections, with oversight from the Operations Captain, which works out well.
Cost calculations for the Police Department restructure was completed by the Finance
Department and are included in the Power Point presentation. We wanted to make every
attempt to make this restructure as cost neutral as possible. We did look at our Operating
budget and determined that we were able to cut $20,000 out of our largest budgeted line
item, Miscellaneous Operating Equipment, to help offset restructure costs moving
forward.
The creation of the Job Classification of Police Lieutenant will be a sworn position and
will fall under Civil Service Rules and Regulations. This request is to amend Chapter 12,
sub-paragraph 5 of City Code, to include the position of Police Lieutenant. There will be
no change in the number of FTE’s or sworn officers as a result of this action.
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 amending Chapter 12, sub-
paragraph 5, to add the position of Police Lieutenant.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Ordinance amending City Code Chapter 12, sub-paragraph 5, to add
the position of Police Lieutenant.

Proposal to Restructure Police Department
Presented by Robert Falldorf, Police Chief

Promote three Police Sergeants to Police Lieutenants,
creating new job classification of Police Lieutenant.
Eliminate one Police Captain and two Police Sergeant
positions to help offset restructure costs. We would
go from a three Captain system to a two Captain
system (one Administrative Captain and one
Operations Captain).

Public Hearing on Acquisition of Utility Easements - 1308 and 1316 Carol Street - Rhoads
Enterprises, Inc. Utilities Director Tim Luchsinger reported that acquisition of a utility easement
located at 1308 and 1316 Carol Street was needed in order to have access to install, upgrade,
maintain, and repair appurtenances, including lines and transformers. Rhoads Enterprises, Inc.

The proposed easement would allow the Utilities Department to install, access, operate and
maintain the electrical infrastructure at this location. Staff recommended approval. No public
testimony was heard.

North of State Street and East of Webb Road (City of Grand Island). Regional Planning Director
Chad Nabity reported that a Blight and Substandard Study was done for approximately 569.09
acres of property in northern Grand Island north of State Street and east of Webb Road including
all of the Central Nebraska Veterans Home property. Keith Marvin of Marvin Planning

Associates of David City, Nebraska and Roger Bullington, 1809 S. Harrison Street spoke in
support. No further public testimony was heard.
Public Hearing on Amendments to the Grand Island City Code Section 36-70 Heavy Business
Zone and Section 36-102 Landscaping Requirements and Heavy Business Zone. Regional
Planning Director Chad Nabity reported that The Railside Business Improvement District board
had requested that the Planning Commission and City Council consider changes to the B3 zoning
district setbacks. Their proposal was to reduce the front and street yard setbacks to 0 feet allowing for
development at the property line in a manner consistent with the traditional building setbacks for
downtown Grand Island. This would require changes to the landscaping regulations that require a
setback in the B3 zoning district to allow for landscaping. Along with these changes requested by the
Railside Board, staff was suggesting changes to the landscaping regulations that would add the R-
3SL Medium Density Small Lot residential zone to the landscaping regulations. The final proposed
change would update the requirements for additional landscaping when a property owner was making
minimal expansions to the parking or building area on their property. Staff recommended approval.
Amos Anson, 4234 Arizona Avenue spoke in support. No further public testimony was heard.

#2019-203 - Approving Bid Award - Coal Silo Inspection and NDE
Services at Platte Generating Station
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019 Page 32 / 168
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:July 9, 2019
Subject:Coal Silo Inspection and Non-Destructive Evaluation
(NDE) Services
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The four coal silos inside the plant at Platte Generating Station are original to the plant.
Similar coal silos have experienced weld failures in recent years resulting in the silo
cones collapsing inside the plants, causing catastrophic equipment damage.
Our Insurer, FM Global, has requested that we conduct an inspection of the silos. Platte
Generating Station staff developed specifications to provide for the inspection of the four
coal silos to determine the condition of the silos and maintain the structures
serviceability.
Discussion
Specifications for the Coal Silo Inspection and Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE)
Services were distributed to seven testing companies as well as being advertised and
issued for bid in accordance with the City Purchasing Code. Bids were publicly opened
on June 27, 2019. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $200,000.00. Bids were
received from two companies:
Bidder Base Bid Adjustment Adjusted Bid
Mistras Group, Inc.
Longmont, Colorado $105,314.00 $-21,480.00 $83,474.00
Industrial Access, Inc.,
Cumming, Georgia $ 86,460.00 $86,460.00
Bids were reviewed by plant engineering staff. The proposal from Mistras Group, Inc.,
of Longmont, Colorado contained a basic error in the calculation of the test crew’s travel
time where total man hours where entered instead of the crew hours. For the four-man
crew, this resulted in four times the actual travel cost for a -$21,840 adjustment. The
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019 Page 33 / 168
resulting correct bid amount is $83,474.00. The Mistras Group, Inc., proposal is the low
bid, is compliant with specifications and less than the engineer’s estimate.
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 Council award the Contract for the Coal Silo
Inspection and Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) Services to Mistras Group, Inc., of
Longmont, Colorado, as the low responsive bidder, with the bid in the amount of
$83,474.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the bid in the amount of $83,474.00 from Mistras Group, Inc., of
Longmont, Colorado, for the Coal Silo Inspection and Non-Destructive Evaluation
(NDE) Services.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:July 9, 2019
Subject:Precipitator, Bottom Ash and Boiler Industrial Cleaning
– Fall 2019
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
The electrostatic precipitator at the Platte Generating Station is the air quality control
equipment used to remove coal ash particulates from the plant’s boiler flue gas stream.
Proper performance of this equipment is required as part of the plant’s operating permit.
Due to volume and characteristics of the coal ash, the precipitator must be grit blasted
twice a year to remove ash build-up to allow the plant to remain below permitted
emission levels. In addition to maintaining performance, removal of the ash deposits also
allows an inspection of the precipitator internal surfaces and components.
The next outage is scheduled for September of this year. Specifications were developed
by the plant maintenance staff for the removal of ash deposits throughout the precipitator
and boiler including grit blasting of the electrostatic precipitator, bulk vacuuming of the
associated ductwork and hoppers, and high-pressure water wash of the bottom ash
system.
Discussion
The specifications for the Precipitator, Bottom Ash and Boiler Industrial Cleaning - Fall
2019, were advertised and issued for bid in accordance with the City Purchasing Code.
Bids were publicly opened on June 27, 2019. Specifications were sent to seven potential
bidders and responses were received as listed below. The engineer’s estimate for this
project was $200,000.00.

Transportation Planning Program
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
All agreements must be approved by the City Council and will be acted on when
agreements are received from the Nebraska Department of Transportation. In March
2013 the City of Grand Island was designated as an urbanized area with a population over
50,000 which require the metropolitan area to establish a transportation planning process
in accordance to Title 23 CFR 450 of the current federal transportation bill. As a
requirement in this process, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) develops
annually a Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) describing the work activities and
funding required by the Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
(GIAMPO) to carry-out these mandates.
This proposed FY 2020 UPWP, is unique in that it reflects previous federal and local
funds that have been acted on by Council. The fiscal year for the MPO planning process
is July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020.
The total cost of the Eligible Planning Activities under the agreement is currently
estimated to be $392,067.76, with the federal share estimated to be $313,654.21, and the
MPO’s share estimated to be $78,413.55.
Discussion
The Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) has drawn up a
Unified Planning Work Program with the City of Grand Island for the purpose of
assisting the Local Public Agency (LPA) in obtaining Federal approval and financial
assistance to ensure a continued, comprehensive, and cooperative transportation planning
process between the state and local governments for the Grand Island Metropolitan
Planning Area for fiscal year 2020.

IntroductionWhatistheUPWP?The purpose of the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is to provide the citizens of the Grand Island AreaMetropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) and all partnering governing bodies with an outline of theMetropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) planned work activities for fiscal year 2020 (July 1, 2019 to June 30,2020). The UPWP is a budget document prepared annually/ and it may be amended by the GIAMPO Policy Boardas priorities and activities change.The UPWP provides guidance and serves as a management mechanism for scheduling/ budgeting, andevaluating the planning activities of GIAMPO. The UPWP defines the major administrative and technical workelements for a specific planning year and identifies the major sources of funding for these projects. The primarypurpose of the UPWP is to ensure adherence to/compliance with provisions of 23 CFR 450. The UPWP guidesGIAMPO in completing the work elements that lead to the development and implementation of the Long RangeTransportation Plan (LRTP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).The work elements defined in the UPWP are reviewed and approved by GIAMPO/ ONE DOT (Federal HighwayAdministration and Federal Transit Administration)/ and the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT)who in turn have designated the City of Grand Island as the contracting agent responsible for administering andperforming these elements approved within the program.What is GIAMPO?The Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) is the federally required MetropolitanPlanning Organization (MPO) to carry out the Continuing/ Cooperative/ and Comprehensive (3-C) transportationplanning process for the Grand Island metropolitan region. Responsibilities of GIAMPO include, but are notlimited to:> Providing the forum for local decision-making on transportation issues of a regional nature.> Encouraging and seeking public involvement throughout the planning and development of the area'stransportation plans and programs.> Facilitating the development of all planning elements for the Metropolitan Planning Area> Submitting transportation planning documents to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), FederalTransit Administration (FTA)/ and N DOT.GIAMPO is responsible for transportation planning activities within a geographic area identified as theMetropolitan Planning Area (MPA). GIAMPO's MPA is comprised of the City of Grand Island, Village of Alda,portions of Hall County/ and a portion of west Merrick County. The MPA is shown in Figure I.3 I Pa geGrand IslandCouncil Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019Page 63 / 168

GIAMPO staff provides support to these committees.Policy BoardThe Policy Board is the governing body of GIAMPO. It is comprised of mostly elected officials that establish theoverall policy direction for GIAMPO's planning activities. The Policy Board has the final responsibility of theseactivities/ and it approves the MPO work products such as the UPWP/ LRTP/ and TIP.Technical Advisory CommitteeThe Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is a staff-level committee/ which advises the Policy Board on technicalmatters related to MPO work products/ transportation policies, and other technical studies and plans consideredby GIAMPO. The TAG can establish subcommittees to provide technical and recommendations to them ontransportation-related projects or issues. In 2016, a Non-Motorized subcommittee was created to act as theadvisory body to the TAC on the development of the GIAMPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.StaffThe GIAMPO staff will be available to aid local officials and concerned citizens in implementing transportationand various community improvement programs in an overall effort to enhance the area. Staff membersencourage and assist local leaders in several programs, with strong emphasis on the benefits of regionalcooperation and coordination.

The UPWP guidesGIAMPO in completing the work elements that lead to the development and implementation of the Long RangeTransportation Plan (LRTP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).The work elements defined in the UPWP are reviewed and approved by GIAMPO/ ONE DOT (Federal HighwayAdministration and Federal Transit Administration)/ and the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT)who in turn have designated the City of Grand Island as the contracting agent responsible for administering andperforming these elements approved within the program.What is GIAMPO?The Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) is the federally required MetropolitanPlanning Organization (MPO) to carry out the Continuing/ Cooperative/ and Comprehensive (3-C) transportationplanning process for the Grand Island metropolitan region. Responsibilities of GIAMPO include, but are notlimited to:> Providing the forum for local decision-making on transportation issues of a regional nature.> Encouraging and seeking public involvement throughout the planning and development of the area'stransportation plans and programs.> Facilitating the development of all planning elements for the Metropolitan Planning Area> Submitting transportation planning documents to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), FederalTransit Administration (FTA)/ and N DOT.GIAMPO is responsible for transportation planning activities within a geographic area identified as theMetropolitan Planning Area (MPA). GIAMPO's MPA is comprised of the City of Grand Island, Village of Alda,portions of Hall County/ and a portion of west Merrick County. The MPA is shown in Figure I.3 I Pa geGrand IslandCouncil Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019Page 84 / 168

GIAMPO staff provides support to these committees.Policy BoardThe Policy Board is the governing body of GIAMPO. It is comprised of mostly elected officials that establish theoverall policy direction for GIAMPO's planning activities. The Policy Board has the final responsibility of theseactivities/ and it approves the MPO work products such as the UPWP/ LRTP/ and TIP.Technical Advisory CommitteeThe Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is a staff-level committee/ which advises the Policy Board on technicalmatters related to MPO work products/ transportation policies, and other technical studies and plans consideredby GIAMPO. The TAG can establish subcommittees to provide technical and recommendations to them ontransportation-related projects or issues. In 2016, a Non-Motorized subcommittee was created to act as theadvisory body to the TAC on the development of the GIAMPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.StaffThe GIAMPO staff will be available to aid local officials and concerned citizens in implementing transportationand various community improvement programs in an overall effort to enhance the area. Staff membersencourage and assist local leaders in several programs, with strong emphasis on the benefits of regionalcooperation and coordination. Currently/ the GIAMPO staff involved with transportation planning consists of aMPO Program Manager supported by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer and the Public Works staff inconjunction with the Director of the Hall County Regional Planning Department, and administrative staff.4 [ P ageGrand IslandCouncil Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019Page 85 / 168

This program continues the federal requirement of the metropolitantransportation planning process to be continuous/ cooperative, and comprehensive. The FAST Act includes ten(10) factors required for consideration in the planning process. The UPWP includes work activities to beaccomplished over fiscal year 2020 which will address these factors. The ten (10) factors are the following:1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area/ especially by enabling global competitiveness,productivity/ and efficiency;2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users;3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users;4. Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and for freight;5. Protect and enhance the environment/ promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life/ andpromote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth andeconomic development patterns;6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system/ across and between modes/ forpeople and freight;7. Promote efficient system management and operation;8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system;9. Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwaterimpacts of surface transportation; and10. Enhance travel and tourism.Planning Emphasis AreasThe FHWA and FTA have jointly issued Planning Emphasis Areas (PEAs) for federal fiscal year 2016 that areplanning areas the MPOs and State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are to address as they develop theirplanning work programs. Listed here are the three strategic objectives for surface transportation that highlightcurrent transportation planning regulations.Transition to Performance Based Planning and Programming - This is the implementation of a performancemanagement approach to transportation planning and programming.Promote Cooperation and Coordination across Transit Agency, MPO, and State Jurisdictions -This is to be acoordinated approach with State DOTs, MPOs, and providers of public planning to improve the effectivenessof transportation decision-makingthat better supports common goals.Access to Essential Services (Ladders of Opportunity) - The transportation planning process is used todevelop and implement analytical methods that identify gaps in the connectivity of the transportationsystem and develop infrastructure and operational solutions that provide adequate access to essentialservices.5 I P ageGrand IslandCouncil Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019Page 86 / 168

Council Agenda Memo
From:Charley Falmlen, Transit Program Manager
Meeting:July 9, 2019
Subject:Approving Application for the Nebraska Public
Transportation Assistance Program
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On June 25, 2019 via Resolution No. 2019-197 City Council approved the agreement
between the City and Senior Citizens Industries, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska for
public transit services. Such approval consisted of an agreement providing compensation
to Senior Citizens Industries, Inc (SCI.) in the total amount of $697,213.17 for the period
of July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. The City has the option to renew the agreement beyond
June 30, 2022 on an annual basis for a two (2) year period, after which time proposals
will be solicited. Compensation for the extended service is at the following rates, billed
monthly: July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021- $718,129.57 annually and July 1, 2021
through June 30, 2022– $739,673.46 annually. Service will be provided both in the City
of Grand Island and County of Hall via a unified system operated by Senior Citizens
Industries, Inc.
The Federal Transit Authority’s (FTA) 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Grants reimburse a
portion of the City of Grand Island’s contract with SCI. Additionally, 5307 Urbanized
Area Formula Grants reimburse the City for a portion of the public transit project
administration conducted by the Public Works Transit Division. FTA reimburses the
City for capital expenses at a ratio of 80/20, and operating expenses at a ratio of 50/50.
Funds are available through the State of Nebraska Public Transportation Assistance
Program to aid the City in meeting the required matching funds. If awarded, these State
funds will be used towards the City’s local matching obligation for 5307Urbanized Area
Formula Grants.
Funds from the Nebraska Public Transportation Assistance Program are competitive, and
the City must complete a new application every year. Last year, the City of Grand Island
was awarded Nebraska Public Transportation Assistance Program funding in the amount
$160,000.00 for the period of July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.

Transportation Service
If your transportation service makes trips outside the geographical boundaries, whether on a regular or irregular basis, please identify the route, destination, and estimated frequency of these trips.
CRANE Public Transit operates demand response service in areas outside the Urbanized Area of Grand

Trips are scheduled 24 hours in advance and upon review of ridership statistics, it is estimated that this portion
of transit services comprises approximately 5% of ridership. Reimbursement for trips outside of the Urbanized

What other transportation services exist in the immediate area to be served? (Include intracity and intercity bus, taxi, AMTRAK service, air transportation, existing special transportation programs and subsidies for elderly, handicapped, low income, or other special groups. Exclude school bus systems.)

39 vehicles in its fleet. Passengers on Burlington Trailways include many students, elderly, and people on fixed incomes

Transportation Service
How will the transportation service which you provide be coordinated with these other transportation systems?
At this point and time, CRANE Public Transit provides a very specific service to Grand Island and the
surronding area. There is little to no coordination taking place between CRANE Public Transit and the other listed organizations, other than on a referral basis.
In the past, CRANE Public Transit partnered with local cab companies and offered taxi vouchers. The funding for said voucers is no longer available.
In 2017 the Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) along with the City of Grand Island, finished a Transit Needs Analysis. The Transit Needs Analysis pointed to several service addition
options, such as ride-share, and vanpool programs, which would be coordinated with the City of Grand Island,
and were intented to address some of the shortcomings of the current demand-response system.
Describe the fare structure of your transportation system:
CRANE Public Transit operates on a fare structure of $2.00 per one-way trip.

Transportation Service
In what way does your system provide for the transportation needs of the elderly and disabled?
CRANE Public Transit offers a service that is public transportation, which includes elderly patrons and persons
with disabilities. A wheelchair-accessible vehicle is used for riders in wheelchairs or other mobility devices. The vehicle fleet includes nine lift-equipped buses with a capacity for two wheelchairs each and two lowered floor mini-vans equipped with wheelchair ramps.
CRANE Public Transit offers curb-to-curb service, and therefore drivers are available to help disabled and elderly persons onto and off of the bus. In addition to this, the City of Grand Island maintains a process for
riders to request reasonable modifications, which allows for drivers to offer additional assistance as approved.

Monitoring Services for the Grand Island Regional Landfill
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019 Page 113 / 168
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jeff Wattier, Solid Waste Superintendent
Meeting:July 9, 2019
Subject:Approving Amendment No. 2 to Environmental
Monitoring Services for the Grand Island Regional
Landfill
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The City of Grand Island leased approximately 47.5 acres of private land located in
Southeast Hall County from July 1966 through February 1984 to operate a landfill
disposal facility to accept municipal waste in accordance with State rules and regulations.
Following a local complaint to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality
(NDEQ) in 2007 regarding groundwater in the vicinity of the closed landfill, the NDEQ
conducted a preliminary assessment and site investigation. Groundwater sampling
conducted during the site investigation detected four (4) volatile organic compounds
(VOC) along the East property boundary at concentrations greater than their respective
maximum contaminant levels (MCL). The NDEQ then hired a consulting firm to
perform a Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Information System (CERCLIS) Site Investigation, which was submitted to the NDEQ on
October 25, 2010.
On October 16, 2013, the City of Grand Island received a letter from the NDEQ requiring
the City to perform a Step 7 Detailed Site Assessment (DSA) for this property pursuant to
Nebraska revised statutes, Title 118 – Groundwater Quality Standards and Use
Classification. The purpose of the Step 7 DSA was to collect sufficient information to
confirm whether or not the source of the contaminants is the former Grand Island
Disposal Area. The City submitted a work plan for the Step 7 DSA to the NDEQ on
March 10, 2014. This work plan was subsequently approved by the NDEQ on March 31,
2014.
On November 7, 2018, the City of Grand Island received notice from NDEQ for
development of a Remedial Action Work Plan.
On November 6, 2018, via Resolution No. 2018-338, City Council approved an
agreement with Olsson Inc. of Lincoln, Nebraska in the amount of $89,100.00 for
environmental monitoring services at the Grand Island Regional Landfill.
On December 18, 2018, via Resolution No. 2018-379, City Council approved an
amendment to the original agreement with Olsson, Inc. of Lincoln, Nebraska in the
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019 Page 114 / 168
amount of $12,000.00. Such amendment provided for the Remedial Action Work Plan
required by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ), which is a
similar service to the original agreement. The scope of the original agreement was
expanded to include the old landfill.
Discussion
The Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for the
operation of the City’s 330 acre solid waste landfill. The landfill is in Hall County and
located seven (7) miles north of Shelton, Nebraska at 19550 West Husker Highway, just
east of the Hall/Buffalo County Line.
At this time a second amendment is recommended to the original agreement with Olsson,
Inc. to address preliminary cap design services required by NDEQ. Such services will be
provided on a time and expense basis not to exceed $20,750.00, resulting in a revised
agreement amount of $121,850.00.
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. 2 to the
original agreement with Olsson, Inc. of Lincoln, Nebraska, in the amount of $20,750.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

Item G-8
#2019-208 - Approving Purchase of Stryker Power Cots and Power
Load System
Staff Contact: Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019 Page 121 / 168
Council Agenda Memo
From:Fire Chief Cory Schmidt
Meeting:July 9, 2019
Subject:Purchase of Stryker Power Cots and Power Load System
Presenter(s):Fire Division Chief Russ Blackburn
Background
The City Council approved budget for 2018-2019 included $85,000 for the purchase of
two new Stryker Power Cots and two Stryker Power Load systems. The Fire Department
has used the powered cots since we bought three in 2006. The two new cots will replace
two of the 2006 models with around 50 operating hours each. (It takes about five to six
seconds to raise or lower the cot.)
Discussion
The Power Load Systems are new for the GIFD. The system supports the cot while
retracting the wheels for loading so personnel do not have the support the weight of the
patient and the cot during this process and then it pulls the cot into a secure position in
the ambulance eliminating the need to steer the cot into the securing brackets. This is
where the greatest chance of injury is while loading a cot as it requires the person loading
the cot to apply uneven forces or the rotate their body to steer the cot or a second person
to enter the ambulance and steer the front of the cot in a stooping or squatting position.
In the worst-case scenario during a collision, the firefighter paramedic and the patient are
more protected from injury with the locking mechanism provided by the triple k
compliant device. It secures the stretcher so it is not able to dislodge and become a
projectile during a collision. It prevents additional harm to a citizen (patient) and a FF
performing their job.
During last week of June, Stryker had a sale on both systems. The purchase of two cots
and two Power Loads is now $80,263.60.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:

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 purchase of two Stryker
Power Cots and two Power Load systems from Stryker for the price of $80,263.60.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the purchase of two Stryker Power Cots and two Power Load systems
from Stryker for the price of $80,263.60.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Meeting:July 9, 2019
Subject:Consideration of Approving 2019-2020 Fee Schedule
Presenter(s):Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Background
The 2019-2020 Fee Schedule is submitted to Council every year at budget time for
consideration of fee changes.
Discussion
The proposed 2019-2020 Fee Schedule was discussed at the May 14, 2019 Budget Work
Session. Questions regarding the fee schedule were discussed during the meeting.
There are four changes to the fee schedule that was discussed.
The Pole Attachment Fee has been changed from $6.00 annual fee to $12.94 annual fee.
The increase was calculated based on guidance material from the American Public Power
Association.
The Bill and Collect Sewer (monthly charge) was changed to $0.00 from $10,450.00. The
monthly charge has now been incorporated into the 77.2% reimbursement of Finance’s
payroll which accounts for the utilities work the department does.
A Telecommunications Registration fee of $500 was added. This registration fee is in the
City’s municipal code (Chapter 34-5(B)) as follows;
A registration shall remain in effect for a period of five (5) years from the date on
which the City Administrator certifies that the information required pursuant to
§34-6 has been submitted to the Administrator. A registration may be renewed by
either submitting information in duplicate to the City Administrator as set forth in
§34-6 or submitting affidavits in duplicate attesting that the information submitted
for the initial registration remains unchanged except to the extent modified by
attachments to said affidavits. Upon filing a registration renewal the registrant
shall pay all fees as provided herein.
Solid Waste is adding a $250 deposit for Charge Customers and Wastewater is adding a
$500 deposit for New Septic Wastewater Haulers.

Discussion
As this construction contract concludes, Change Order No. 5 to the referenced project is
being requested to add pay items for parking lot striping work, aluminum break metal

In order to complete this work Change Order No. 5 is necessary, which will result in a

The Grand Island Public Library Foundation is responsible for financing all costs for this
project that are not provided by the Grimminger estate funds from the 295 Special Project
Account and project-specific grant funds received by the City, as per Resolution No.

While there are non-contract aspects of the library renovation project still in progress, no
further Cheever Construction contract change orders are anticipated.

Chocolate Bar, Inc. and Sharena Anson to EPS June, Co. and the
Guaranty of Promissory Note o/b/o EPS June, Co. and Perry
Schutz
Staff Contact: Jerry Janulewicz
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/9/2019 Page 149 / 168
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Meeting:July 9, 2019
Subject:The Chocolate Bar, Inc.
Presenter(s):Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Background
The City of Grand Island (“City”) and Downtown Business Improvement District
(“BID”) entered into a Downtown Revitalization Fund Forgivable Loan Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with The Chocolate Bar, Inc. whereby the City holds a promissory note
secured by a Deed of Trust on certain real estate of The Chocolate Bar, Inc. and FAmous
Construction, Inc. The Agreement and promissory note provide for annual reduction of
principal due over five annual periods contingent upon continued operation of the
Chocolate Bar restaurant. The Chocolate Bar, Inc., desires to sell its business assets to
EPS, June, Co., a Nebraska corporation, and requests that the City and BID consent to
such sale. On July 1, 2019, the BID granted consent to the proposed sale.
EPS, June, Co., and Perry Schutz executed a guarantee of the above-mentioned
promissory note in order to assure City and BID of the continued operation of a
restaurant at the location of the Chocolate Bar restaurant.
Discussion
The Guaranty of Promissory Note by EPS, June, Co., and Perry Schutz does not limit or
change the terms of the promissory note and deed of trust executed by The Chocolate
Bar, Inc. and by FAmous Construction, Inc. Both entities remain liable on the promissory
note secured by the deed of trust held by the City. The Guaranty operates to provide the
City with additional entities to look to for payment of the promissory note should
operation of the restaurant cease prior to the five-year loan forgiveness period provided
by the Agreement.
The proposed resolution, if approved by Council, approves the sale of the business assets
of The Chocolate Bar, Inc. and of Sharena D. Anson to EPS June, Co. and approves the
Guaranty of Promissory Note executed on behalf of EPS June, Co. and by Perry Shutz.
