Council Agenda Memo
From:RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Meeting:July 23, 2019
Subject:Public Hearing on Request from EPS June, Co dba The
Chocolate Bar, 116-118 West 3rd Street for a Class “CK”
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
EPS June, Co dba The Chocolate Bar, 116-118 West 3rd Street has submitted an
application for a Class “CK” Liquor License. A Class “C” Liquor License allows for the
sale of alcohol on and off sale only inside the corporate limits of the city. The Class “K”
allows for catering one day events. This request would allow The Chocolate Bar to
deliver, sell or dispense alcoholic liquors, including beer, for consumption at a location
designated on a Special Designated Liquor License (SDL).
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 4 / 200
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. See attached Police Department report.
Also submitted was a request for Liquor Manager Designation for Elizabeth Schutz, 1912
Illinois Avenue. Staff recommends approval of the liquor license contingent upon final
inspections and liquor manager designation for Elizabeth Schutz contingent upon
completing a state approved alcohol server/seller training program.
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 EPS June, Co dba The Chocolate Bar, 116-118 West
3rd Street for a Class “CK” Liquor License contingent upon final inspections and Liquor
Manager designation for Elizabeth Schutz, 1912 Illinois Avenue contingent upon
completion of a state approved alcohol server/seller training program.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:July 23, 2019
Subject:JOJA Investments LLC Study (Proposed Area 30)
C-27-2019GI
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
JOJA Investments LLC has commissioned a Blight and Substandard Study for Proposed
Redevelopment Area No. 30. The study was prepared by Marvin Planning Associates of
David City, Nebraska. This study is approximately 2.57 acres of property in central
Grand Island between 4th and 5th Streets and Ruby Street and Carey Avenue (See the
attached map). On May 28, 2019, Council referred the attached study to the Planning
Commission for its review and recommendation. The study as prepared and submitted
indicates that this property could be considered blighted and substandard. The full study
is attached for your review and consideration.
The decision on whether to declare an area substandard and blighted is entirely within the
jurisdiction of the City Council.
Discussion
The Statutory authority and direction to the Planning Commission is referenced below to
explain the Planning Commission purpose in reviewing the study:
18-2109. Redevelopment plan; preparation; requirements; planning commission or
board; public hearing; notice; governing body; public hearing; notice.
(1) An authority shall not prepare a redevelopment plan for a redevelopment project area
unless the governing body of the city in which such area is located has, by resolution adopted
after the public hearings required under this section, declared such area to be a substandard
and blighted area in need of redevelopment.
(2) Prior to making such declaration, the governing body of the city shall conduct or
cause to be conducted a study or an analysis on whether the area is substandard and blighted
and shall submit the question of whether such area is substandard and blighted to the planning
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 9 / 200
commission or board of the city for its review and recommendation. The planning
commission or board shall hold a public hearing on the question after giving notice of the
hearing as provided in section 18-2115.01. Such notice shall include a map of sufficient size
to show the area to be declared substandard and blighted or information on where to find such
map and shall provide information on where to find copies of the substandard and blighted
study or analysis conducted pursuant to this subsection. The planning commission or board
shall submit its written recommendations to the governing body of the city within thirty days
after the public hearing.
(3) Upon receipt of the recommendations of the planning commission or board, or if no
recommendations are received within thirty days after the public hearing required under
subsection (2) of this section, the governing body shall hold a public hearing on the question
of whether the area is substandard and blighted after giving notice of the hearing as provided
in section 18-2115.01. Such notice shall include a map of sufficient size to show the area to
be declared substandard and blighted or information on where to find such map and shall
provide information on where to find copies of the substandard and blighted study or analysis
conducted pursuant to subsection (2) of this section. At the public hearing, all interested
parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to express their views respecting the
proposed declaration. After such hearing, the governing body of the city may make its
declaration.
(4) Copies of each substandard and blighted study or analysis conducted pursuant to
subsection (2) of this section shall be posted on the city’s public web site or made available
for public inspection at a location designated by the city.
~Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska 7-19-18
A flow chart of the blight declaration process is shown in Figure 2.
At this time, the Council is only concerned with determining if the property is blighted
and substandard. Figure 3 is an overview of the differences between the blight and
substandard declaration and the redevelopment plan. If a declaration as blighted and
substandard is made by Council then the Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA)
can consider appropriate redevelopment plans. The redevelopment plans must also be
reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by Council prior to final approval.
The city of Grand Island, as a City of the First Class, is permitted to designate an area of
up to 35% of the municipal limits as blighted and substandard. As of July 1, 2019,
22.94% of the City has been declared blighted and substandard. The 2.57 acres of
proposed area 30 would add 0.01% for a total of 22.95%. Proposed Area 28 (Conestoga
Mall) would add another 0.41% bringing the total area declared to 23.36%. Recent
annexations completed May 28, 2019 altered these percentages from those shown in
previous memos.

It is appropriate for the Council in conducting its review and considering its decision
regarding the substandard and blighted designation to:
1.review the study,
2.take testimony from interested parties,
3.review the recommendation and findings of fact identified by the Planning
Commission (Planning Commission did not identify any findings with their
motion so none are available.)
4.make findings of fact, and
5.include those findings of fact as part of its motion to approve or deny the request
to declare this area blighted and substandard. Council can make any findings they
choose regarding the study and the information presented during the public
hearing to support the decision of the Council members regarding this matter.
Blighted and Substandard Defined
The terms blighted and substandard have very specific meanings within the context of the
Community Redevelopment Statutes. Those terms as defined by Statute are included
below:
Section 18-2103
Terms, defined.
For purposes of the Community Development Law, unless the context otherwise
requires:
(3) Blighted area means an area (a) which, by reason of the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, existence of defective or inadequate street
layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness, insanitary or
unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other improvements, diversity of ownership, tax or
special assessment delinquency exceeding the fair value of the land, defective or unusual
conditions of title, improper subdivision or obsolete platting, or the existence of conditions
which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors,
substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community, retards the provision of
housing accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in which
there is at least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the designated area is at
least one hundred twenty percent of the state or national average; (ii) the average age of the
residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years; (iii) more than half of the
plotted and subdivided property in an area is unimproved land that has been within the city
for forty years and has remained unimproved during that time; (iv) the per capita income of
the area is lower than the average per capita income of the city or village in which the area is
designated; or (v) the area has had either stable or decreasing population based on the last two
decennial censuses. In no event shall a city of the metropolitan, primary, or first class
designate more than thirty-five percent of the city as blighted, a city of the second class shall
not designate an area larger than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and a village shall not
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 14 / 200
designate an area larger than one hundred percent of the village as blighted. A redevelopment
project involving a formerly used defense site as authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall
not count towards the percentage limitations contained in this subdivision;
(31) Substandard area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light,
air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence
of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of
such factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile
delinquency, and crime, (which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is
detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare; and
~Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska 7-19-18

Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 15 / 200
Insanitary and Unsafe Conditions
Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
Faulty Lot Layout

Unemployment in the designated area is at least 120% of the state or national average.
The per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of the city or village in
which the area is designated.
These issues were either not present or were limited enough as to have little impact on the overall condition
of the study area.
Substandard Summary
Nebraska State Statute requires that “…an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of dilapidation,
deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open
spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which endanger life
or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health,
transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime, (which cannot be remedied
through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare;”
This Study Area in Grand Island meets the defintion of Substandard as defined in the Revised Nebraska
State Statutes.
FINDINGS FOR GRAND ISLAND BLIGHT STUDY AREA #30
Blight Study Area #30 has several items contributing to the Blight and Substandard Conditions. These
conditions include:
Blighted Conditions
Criteria under Part A of the Blight Definition
Average age of structures is over 40 years of age
Substantial number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures
Deterioration of site or other improvements
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
The average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years
Substandard Conditions
Average age of the structures in the area is at least forty years
Recommendation
Staff recommends considering the following questions as a starting point in the analysis
of this Study and in making a determination. The City Council is ultimately responsible
for answering the question of whether the property included in the study is blighted and
substandard and whether making such a designation is in the best interest of the City.
Recommend Questions for City Council
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 16 / 200
Does this property meet the statutory requirements to be considered blighted and
substandard? (See the prior statutory references.)
Are the blighted and substandard factors distributed throughout the
Redevelopment Area, so basically good areas are not arbitrarily found to be
substandard and blighted simply because of proximity to areas which are
substandard and blighted? Is development of adjacent property necessary to
eliminate blighted and substandard conditions in the area?
Is public intervention appropriate and/or necessary for the redevelopment of the
area?
Will a blight declaration increase the likelihood of development/redevelopment in
the near future and is that in the best interest of the City?
What is the policy of the City toward increasing development and redevelopment
in this area of the City?
Findings of fact must be based on the study and testimony presented including all written
material and staff reports. The recommendation must be based on the declaration, not
based on any proposed uses of the site. All of the testimony, a copy of the study and this
memo along with any other information presented at the hearing should be entered into
the record of the hearing.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing and took action on the
blight and substandard study proposed Area 30 during its meeting on July 10, 2019.
This study is approximately 2.57 acres of property in central Grand Island between 4
and 5th Streets and Ruby Street and Carey Avenue (C-27-2019GI)
O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity stated the study was commissioned by JOJA Investments Inc. Heath
Rinders and his mother purchased the 3 lots with an existing house on the
property. The house has been vacant for about 10 years. They are looking into
building 3 single family homes on the property. The study was done by Keith
Marvin. The study does indicate the property can be blighted and substandard.
This does not approve a TIF project. A Redevelopment plan will be brought
forward if they decide to apply for TIF. Due to changes to state law, demolish
and acquisition are eligible cost even if they occur before the TIF application.
Nabity recommends approval.
O’Neill closed the public hearing.
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 17 / 200
A motion was made by Ruge and second Rainforth by to approve the Substandard
and Blight Study concerning CRA Area #30 and Resolution 2019-11 finding that
this declaration would be consistent with the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan.
The motion carried with seven members in favor (Nelson, O’Neill, Ruge, Rubio,
Robb, Rainforth and Randone) and no members voting no.
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
Sample Motion
If Council wishes to approve the designation of this property as blighted and substandard,
an action required if Tax Increment Financing is to be used for the redevelopment of
properties in this area, a motion should be made to approve the Substandard and Blight
Designation for Redevelopment Area No. 30 in Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska
finding the information in the study to be factual and supporting such designation. A
resolution authorizing the approval of this study has been prepared for Council
consideration.

PURPOSE OF THE BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD STUDY
The purpose of completing this Blight and Substandard study is to examine existing conditions
within a specific part of Grand Island. This study has been commissioned by JOJA Investment LLC
in order to analyze the possibility of declaring the area as blighted and substandard.
The City of Grand Island, when considering conditions of Blight and Substandard, look at those
issues and definitions provided for in the Nebraska Community Redevelopment Law as found in
Chapter 18, Section 2104 of the Revised Nebraska State Statutes, as follows:
“The governing body of a city, to the greatest extent it deems to be feasible in
carrying out the provisions of the Community Development Law, shall afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the city as a whole, to the
rehabilitation or redevelopment of the community redevelopment area by private
enterprises. The governing body of a city shall give consideration to this objective in
exercising its powers under the Community Development Law, including the
formulation of a workable program, the approval of community redevelopment
plans consistent with the general plan for the development of the city, the exercise
of its zoning powers, the enforcement of other laws, codes, and regulations, relating
to the use of land and the use and occupancy of buildings and improvements, the
disposition of any property acquired, and the providing of necessary public
improvements.”
The Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2105 continues by granting authority to the governing body
for the formulation of a workable program; disaster assistance; effect. The statute reads,
“The governing body of a city or an authority at its direction for the purposes of the
Community Development Law may formulate for the entire municipality a workable
program for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate or prevent
the development or spread of urban blight, to encourage needed urban
rehabilitation, to provide for the redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas,
or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible municipal activities
as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such workable program.
Such workable program may include, without limitation, provision for the prevention
of the spread of blight into areas of the municipality which are free from blight
through diligent enforcement of housing, zoning, and occupancy controls and
standards; the rehabilitation or conservation of substandard and blighted areas or
portions thereof by replanning, removing congestion, providing parks, playgrounds,
and other public improvements by encouraging voluntary rehabilitation and by
compelling the repair and rehabilitation of deteriorated or deteriorating structures;
and the clearance and redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas or
portions thereof.”
“Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Community Development Law, where
the local governing body certifies that an area is in need of redevelopment or
rehabilitation as a result of flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, storm, or other
catastrophe respecting which the Governor of the state has certified the need for
disaster assistance under federal law, the local governing body may approve a
redevelopment plan and a redevelopment project with respect to such area without
regard to the provisions of the Community Development Law requiring a general
plan for the municipality and notice and public hearing or findings other than herein
set forth.”
Based on the Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2103 the following definitions shall apply:
“Blighted area means an area (a) which, by reason of the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, existence of defective or
inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility,
or usefulness, insanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other
improvements, diversity of ownership, tax or special assessment delinquency
exceeding the fair value of the land, defective or unusual conditions of title,
improper subdivision or obsolete platting, or the existence of conditions which

City of Grand Island, Nebraska • May 2019 Page 2
endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such
factors, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community, retards
the provision of housing accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social
liability and is detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present
condition and use and (b) in which there is at least one of the following conditions: (i)
Unemployment in the designated area is at least one hundred twenty percent of the
state or national average; (ii) the average age of the residential or commercial units
in the area is at least forty years; (iii) more than half of the plotted and subdivided
property in an area is unimproved land that has been within the city for forty years
and has remained unimproved during that time; (iv) the per capita income of the
area is lower than the average per capita income of the city or village in which the
area is designated; or (v) the area has had either stable or decreasing population
based on the last two decennial censuses. In no event shall a city of the
metropolitan, primary, or first class designate more than thirty-five percent of the city
as blighted, a city of the second class shall not designate an area larger than fifty
percent of the city as blighted, and a village shall not designate an area larger than
one hundred percent of the village as blighted. A redevelopment project involving a
formerly used defense site as authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall not count
towards the percentage limitations contained in this subdivision;”
“Extremely blighted area means a substandard and blighted area in which: (a) The
average rate of unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most
recent federal decennial census is at least two hundred percent of the average rate
of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (b) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or
federal census block group or block groups in the area;”
“Substandard area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or

This Blight and Substandard Study is Blighted and Substandard Area 30. The Study is intended to
give the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority, Hall County Regional Planning
Commission and Grand Island City Council the basis for identifying and declaring Blighted and
Substandard conditions are existing within the City’s jurisdiction and as allowed under Chapter
18. Through this process, the City and property owners will attempt to address economic and/or
social liabilities which are harmful to the well-being of the entire community.

The term “Land Use” refers to the developed uses in place within a building or on a specific
parcel of land. The number and type of uses are constantly changing within a community, and
produce a number of impacts either benefitting or detracting from the community. Existing
patterns of land use are often fixed in older communities and neighborhoods, while
development in newer areas is often reflective of current development practices.
Existing Land Use Analysis within Study Area
As part of the planning process, a survey was conducted through both in-field observations, as
well as data collection online using the Hall County Assessors website. This survey noted the use
of each parcel of land within the study area. These data from the survey are analyzed in the
following paragraphs.

This section of the study examines the conditions found in the study area. The Findings Section
will review the conditions based upon the statutory definitions.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
There were a number of conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. There are a
number of conditions that will be reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the
statutory conditions are not present.
Structural Conditions
Structural conditions were evaluated, structures were either rated as: Very Good, Above Normal,
Normal, Below Normal, or Poor. The data and rating system come from the Hall County Assessor’s
database and is the same database used to value properties in the area.
Based upon the data provided to the planning team, the following is the breakdown for
structures in the study area:
• 0 ( 0.0%) structures rated as Very Good
• 0 ( 0.0%) structures rated as Above Normal
• 6 (75.0%) structure rated as Normal
• 1 (12.5%) structures rated as Below Normal
• 1 (12.5%) structure rated as Poor

Based upon these data, an assumption has been made that normal condition and less would
constitute less than desirable conditions due to age and conditions. It is common for older
structures to get more maintenance and upkeep in order to maintain a good or higher
condition. Even a normal structure will show some signs of deteriorating which in turn can
become a dilapidated structure in the future if it is not addressed over time. Overall, 100.0% of
the structures in this study area are normal condition or worse.
Due to the stated conditions found in the Hall County Assessor’s data, the condition of the
structure is a contributing factor.

Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements
Site Improvements Conditions
The properties within the study area can be accessed from the adjacent streets and alley. In
addition, the study area is served by a sidewalk located immediately behind the curb along all
four streets.
Based upon review of images of the study area, Figure 4 was created. The Figure indicates:
•100% of the sidewalks within this study are in Fair condition but showing signs of deterioration
•100% of alley way is dirt/gravel
•Approximately 33% of the curb and gutters are beginning to deteriorate. Mostly in at the
radius locations at intersections.
Based upon the field analysis, there are sufficient elements present to meet the definition of
deterioration of site and other improvements in the Study Area.
Age of Structure
Age of structures can be a contributing factor to the blighted and substandard conditions in an
area. Statutes allow for a predominance of structures 40 years of age or older to be a
contributing factor regardless of their condition. The following paragraphs document the
structural age of the structures within the Study Area. Note the age of structure was determined
from the Appraisal data within the Hall County Assessor’s website data.

Within the study area there are two primary structures. After researching the structural age on
the Hall County Assessor’s and Treasurer’s websites, the following breakdown was determined:
•8 (100.0%) unit was determined to be 40 years of age or older
•0 ( 0.0%) unit was determined to be less than 40 years of age
However, when examining the age based upon a cumulative approach, as in Table 2, the
average age of the primary structures is equal to 75.9 years; thus, meeting the requirements of
the statutes.
The age of the structures would be a direct contributing factor.

Substandard Summary
Nebraska State Statute requires that “…an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air,
sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such
factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency,
and crime, (which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare;”

Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:July 23, 2019
Subject:Rezone from RD Zone to Amended RD Zone
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
An application has been made to rezone Autumn Park Third Subdivision from RD Zone
to Amended RD Zone and approve a modified development plan. The modified plan
would reduce the number of units constructed from 288 apartments in 24 buildings to 92
units including 4 single family and 88 duplex units.
Discussion
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held March 13, 2019 the
above item was considered following a public hearing.
O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity explained the property was originally platted with Autumn Park
Subdivision in 1997. A second and third phase to add an additional 288
apartment units was approved in 2004. The second and third phase was never
completed. Nabity went on to explain they are now proposing a total of 92 units.
A combination of 44 duplex building and 4 single family detached units. Plans
have been summited for the duplex and single family detached units. Three of the
plans submitted for the single family units will need to be modified as they are
wider east to west than the buildable area on the lot. The developer will submit
new plans.
Most likely this will be phased with the east side being done first. They will,
however make the connection between Ebony Road and the original Autumn Park
development with the first phase so there are entrances from both the east and the
west. They will have additional parking in between some of the units. All of the
streets will be private streets. The developer will be responsible for maintaining
the private streets. Mr. Thomas stated all the units will be single level units that
will match all the other townhomes and duplexes in the neighborhood.
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 34 / 200
O’Neill closed the public hearing
A motion was made by Ruge and second by Randone to approve the rezoning and
the preliminary and final plat for McCoy Meadows Subdivision.
The motion carried with seven members voting in favor (Nelson, O’Neill, Ruge,
Rainforth, Rubio, Robb, and Randone) and no members voting no.
The memo sent to the planning commission with staff recommendation is
attached for review by Council.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the rezoning request as presented
2.Modify the rezoning request to meet the wishes of the Council
3.Postpone the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the proposed changes as
recommended.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the ordinance and development plan as presented.

Agenda Item # 5
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION:
June 24, 2019
SUBJECT:Zoning Change (C-28-2019GI)
PROPOSAL: To amend the existing RD-Residential Development Zone for Autumn Park Third
Subdivision located north of State Street and west of the Moore’s Creek Drainway. The RD Zone
application also includes both the Preliminary and Final Plats for the McCoy Meadows Subdivision
in the City of Grand Island. The proposed development would change the plan from 16 builds and
288 units of apartments to 92 units (44 duplex’s and 4 single family detached).
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation: RD Residential Development Zone
Permitted and conditional uses: RD Residential uses at a density of up to 43 dwelling units per
acre depending on the plan approved by Council. In October
of 1996, the Grand Island City Council permitted 144 units of
apartments in 12 buildings units on this tract with an additional
144 units in 12 buildings planned for the final phase. This was
amend in December of 2005 to allow 288 units in 16 buildings.
That plan did not move forward and the property has been
vacant since the original 144 units were constructed.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Medium Density Residential to Office Use
Existing land uses. Farm Ground
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations: North: R4- High Density Residential
East: B2-General Business
West R1- Suburban Density Residential
and South: R4- High Density Residential
Permitted and conditional uses: B2 Commercial and retail uses including those with outside
storage of merchandise, office uses and residential uses up to
a density of 43 units per acre. R1 Residential uses at a
density of 4 dwelling units per acre. R4 Residential uses at a
density of 43 dwelling units per acre. .
Comprehensive Plan Designation: North: Medium Density Residential to Office Use
East: Commercial
West: Low to Medium Density Residential
South: Medium Density Residential to Office Use
Existing land uses: North: Attached Single Family Residential
East: Menards, Moore’s Creek Drainway
West: Single Family Residential
South: Nursing Home and Farm Ground
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 37 / 200
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
•Consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The subject property is designated
for commercial development.
•Accessible to Existing Municipal Infrastructure: Water and sewer services are available to
service the area. Sanitary sewer and water are along the north and east sides of the property.
•Provides Additional Housing Opportunities: This development will add 88 duplex units (44
buildings) and 4 single family along Ebony Lane at the southwest edge of the property. This
development would complete a project that has been in process for almost 25 years.
•Continues a development that has been on hold for 23 years: The second phase of this
development was approved in 1996 and a similar concept to the original plan was approved in
2005 and has not had any activity since that approval.
•Adds Connectivity to the Existing Apartments: This proposal includes a connection between the
north side of the existing parking lot and the new area to be developed. This lane will allow
traffic, including emergency vehicles, multiple access points to the first of the Autumn Park
Apartments.
•Density of Housing is Consistent with Existing Neighborhood: The proposed density of housing
is much closer to the density of the housing that has developed to the north and west of this
parcel of property.
•Monetary Benefit to Applicant: Would allow the applicant to develop this property.
Negative Implications:
•None Foreseen
Other
The developers are proposing to reduce the number of units on this property by almost 200. The
original plan and the plan as modified in 2005 would have allowed 432 units on this property the
new proposed total is 236 units. This street will be completed and connected as part of this phase
of the development. The final phase of this development will include an additional 144 units of
apartments in another 9 buildings.
The developers are not changing the number of units from the number originally approved for this
RD zone but they are changing the location and number of buildings and adding amenities.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council amend
the existing RD Residential Development Zone as presented along with the Preliminary and
Final Plats for McCoy Meadows Subdivision.

Item G-8
#2019-216 - Approving the Proposal for Burdick Station
Maintenance Building
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 127 / 200
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:July 23, 2019
Subject:Burdick Station Maintenance Building
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Burdick Station consists of three steam turbine generators and three gas turbines.
Units #1 (operational 1956) and #2 (operational 1962) were decommissioned in 2016,
and Unit #3 (operational 1972) was decommissioned in 2017. The cooling tower was
used to condense steam for Unit #3.
In 2015, Black & Veatch was hired to conduct an engineering study. They looked at the
feasibility of utilizing the existing steam unit building for future generation. It was
concluded that it is more cost effective to raze the existing building than try to retrofit it.
The Burdick Steam unit building will be razed in 2020, eliminating the cost associated
with maintaining the building, and mitigating all hazardous materials.
The three gas turbines will remain operational at Burdick Station and provide peaking
and emergency backup power to the City. A new maintenance building will be
constructed in the location of the existing cooling tower for auxiliary equipment and to
perform maintenance on the gas turbines and future generation. The area of the proposed
building will be approximately 6,000 square feet.
Plant staff prepared specifications for the new Burdick facility based on the requirements
included in the Black & Veatch study.
Discussion
The Request for Proposals for the Burdick Station Maintenance Building was publicly
advertised in accordance with the City Purchasing Code and sent to three potential
contractors. Only one proposal to complete the project using the design-build process was
received from the following company:
Chief Construction, of Grand Island, Nebraska, in the amount of $1,740,637.00
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 128 / 200
The proposal was reviewed by plant management staff and found compliant with
specifications and less than the engineer’s estimate of $1,800,000.00.
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 presented in this motion
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that Council award the proposal for the Burdick Station
Maintenance Building to Chief Construction of Grand Island, Nebraska as the best
evaluated proposal, with a proposal price of not to exceed $1,740,637.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the proposal from Chief Construction of Grand Island, Nebraska, for
the Burdick Station Maintenance Building for a price not to exceed $1,740,637.00.

Item G-9
#2019-217 - Approving Amendment #2 to the Power Purchase
Agreement with Prairie Hills Wind., LLC
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 132 / 200
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator/Attorney
Meeting:July 23, 2019
Subject:Amendment No. 2 to the Power Purchase Agreement
with Prairie Hills Wind, LLC
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
On January 24, 2017, Council approved a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Prairie
Hills LLC, for a share of the Prairie Hills Wind Project being developed in Custer
County. The PPA includes a twenty-five-year term with annual pricing based on an
escalation factor for energy produced by the Project. The cost to the City is for the actual
energy produced and does not require any upfront capital cost or on-going operation and
maintenance costs. Included in the energy transaction is the transfer to the City for
Renewable Energy Credits (REC’s) which are used by utilities to apply against any
renewable energy requirements and may be bought or sold.
Due to delays in the interconnection agreement process, on July 17, 2018, the City agreed
to extend the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date (COD) and Outside Commercial
Operation Date from July 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 to December 1, 2020 and June
30, 2021, respectively.
Discussion
The interconnection process for the Prairie Hills Wind Project is still experiencing delays
by the Southwest Power Pool, the regional grid operator, and AEP Renewables, the
parent company of Prairie Hills LLC has requested another extension of the Guaranteed
COD and Outside COD to December 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Utilities
and Legal staff have reviewed this request and find it reasonable and recommend
approval of the date revisions to the PPA.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:

Cleaning at Burdick Generating Station
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 139 / 200
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:July 23, 2019
Subject:Change Order #1 – Fuel Oil Pipe and Tank Cleaning at
Burdick Generating Station
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The City is preparing to scrap existing fuel oil tanks and piping once used for back-up
fuel for power generation with the steam units at Burdick Station. The remaining 50,000
gallons of fuel in the #5 tank is being removed and the piping from the tank yard to the
boilers is being cleaned.
Specifications were issued for bid and the contract was awarded by Council to the low
responsive bidder, J & L Pipeline Services, Inc., for $177,551.36 on October 23, 2018 per
Resolution 2018-310.
Discussion
Fuel oil piping from the building connection to the recirculation heating skids inside the
building was originally determined not to be able to be cleaned using the equipment used
for the exterior piping work. J & L Pipeline Services, Inc., initially performed the
additional work under a trial basis and determined that they could clean this interior
piping and completed the work at the standard rates in the original contract, at an
additional cost of $ 29,384.24.
Utilizing J & L Pipeline Services, Inc., while they were on site allowed the additional
work to be performed without the extra cost of mobilization and demobilization.
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/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 140 / 200
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 authorizing Change Order #1 with J & L Pipeline
Services, Inc., for the Fuel Oil Pipe and Tank Cleaning at Burdick Generating Station for
an addition to the contract price of $29,384.24 for a total contract price of $ 206,935.60.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Change Order #1 from J & L Pipeline Services, Inc., in the amount of
$29,384.24 for the Fuel Oil Pipe and Tank Cleaning at Burdick Generating Station.

Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 145 / 200
Council Agenda Memo
From:Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Meeting:July 23, 2019
Subject:Personal Protective Equipment
Presenter(s):Tim Hiemer, Division Chief
Background
The Grand Island Fire Department was authorized a budget of $44,000 for the purchase
of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the fiscal year 2018-19. Of the $44,000,
approximately $17,000 was used for the purchase of ballistic protective equipment. Our
goal is to replace structural fire PPE at least every 10 years and with the budgetary cuts of
the last few years we were not able to purchase enough sets to meet the 10 year goal.
Therefore, this year is a larger purchase than normal.
Discussion
The Grand Island Fire Department contacted the Houston Galveston Area Council (H-
GAC) to obtain pricing for 11 set structural firefighting PPE. The H-GAC provided a list
of prequalified vendors and their equipment that have met the competitive bidding
requirements of the City of Grand Island. From the list Viking PPE from Central
Alabama Training Solutions was chosen to supply 11 sets of PPE at the cost of $22,418,
plus $2,062.50 for PART-X technology upgrade.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:

3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 146 / 200
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the purchase of 11 sets of

#2019-220 - Approving Amendment No. 1 for Transfer Station
Operations and Facility Improvement Study
Staff Contact: John Collins PE - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 149 / 200
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jeff Wattier, Solid Waste Superintendent
Meeting:July 23, 2019
Subject:Approving Amendment No. 1 for Transfer Station
Operations and Facility Improvement Study
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The current Solid Waste Transfer Station building, which is located at 5050 West Old
Potash Highway, was constructed in 1981 and is no longer large enough to handle the
current traffic and/or waste flows. This study is to look at traffic patterns, investigate
potential improvement/expansion ideas to enhance operations and allow for present
business as well as projected future conditions. An updated rate study is also part of this
investigation.
Customer counts at the Transfer Station have increased by 173%, with a tonnage increase
of 124% from FY 2000 to FY 2017.
FY 2000 = 10,345 customers and 28,578 tons
FY 2017 = 28,236 customers and 63,910 tons
On April 10, 2018, via Resolution No. 2018-94, City Council awarded an agreement to
SCS Engineers of Omaha, Nebraska in the amount of $60,130.00 for engineering
consulting services related to a Transfer Station Operations and Facility Improvement
Study for the Solid Waste Division.
Discussion
At this time an amendment is recommended to the original agreement with SCS Engineer
to delve further into the Cost of Service & Fee Analysis, as well as a Fee Comparison
within the overall regional solid waste marketplace, and a presentation of such results.
Such services will be provided on a time and expense basis not to exceed $20,890.00,
resulting in a revised agreement amount of $81,020.00.

TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS SCOPE OF
WORK – CHANGE ORDER 1
TASK 7 – CITY COUNCIL PRESENTATION
Hours included for Client Project Manager and Technical Project Manager will be reduced by 8 hours
and 4 hours, respectively.
TASK 8 – COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
We will look at the costs of facility operations and the costs of providing disposal of various types
of waste to the City’s residents by examining each line item in the solid waste budget. Where
possible, items will be directly allocated. Where items cannot be directly allocated (e.g. loader at
transfer station), they are indirectly allocated using various allocation factors such as number of
invoices, staff time, or tonnage. If an item cannot be directly allocated and staff has specific
information that is helpful in allocation of costs, we will base the allocation on staff input. Lastly,
costs that are general or administrative overhead costs are allocated on a weighted basis. We will
then compare the costs for each function and waste type to the revenues generated by each
respective function and waste type. The outcome of this analysis then becomes the basis for
determining the net revenue requirement used in the fee structure analysis. SCS will meet with City
Staff to discuss costs allocated to locations and functional classes and make recommendations.
TASK 9 – FEE ANAYSIS
SCS will review the existing fees by location (transfer station, yard waste, and MSW landfill) and
compare to the cost of service analysis.
To begin the fee analysis, we will examine the City’s current tipping fees and identify any
structural adjustments to consider in developing the City’s new fees. We will obtain historical
tonnage and invoice data and/or property data and analyze current billing practices. We will identify
the test year revenue requirement based on the results of the revenue sufficiency analysis and use
this revenue requirement and the results of the tonnage data analysis in the development of an
updated fee structure. In developing this structure, we will consider the cost of the City’s various
services provided and whether the City desires to encourage reduction and diversion.
During an interactive meeting with staff, we will calculate tipping fees based on the recommended
adjustments. We will discuss the basis of the recommendation and test the sensitivity of the rate
changes to various customers and waste characteristics. The goal is to develop a structure that will
be easily understandable and accurately reflect the dynamics of your solid waste system while
equitably distributing costs across your services provided. Together, we will develop the schedule
of recommended fees for presentation to the Council.
TASK 10 – FEE COMPARISON
This task focuses on how the current and revised fee schedules fit within the overall regional solid
waste marketplace. SCS will identify the entities (i.e. Hastings landfill) for survey and will contact
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 152 / 200
these entities to discuss fees and import these results into a benchmark model. We will compare
the City’s current and proposed fees to these and other select benchmarked entities. SCS will
present the results of this task to City Staff to discuss findings.
TASK 11 – PRESENTATION OF RESULTS
SCS will prepare a draft report for City Staff to review and will incorporate City comments into the report
and adjust analysis as needed. We will prepare a presentation of City Council for City Staff to review.
We will make edits and prepare a final presentation for Council. SCS will present to City Council.
PROPOSED FEE
SCS will complete the above tasks on a time and material basis for a not to exceed fee of $20,890.

Council Agenda Memo
From: Jon Menough PE, Wastewater Treatment Plant Engineer
Meeting: July 23, 2019
Subject: Approving Purchase of Sludge Blanket Level Detectors for
the Wastewater Division of the Public Works Department
Presenter(s): John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Wastewater Division uses blanket level detectors in all five (5) clarifiers to monitor
the collection of solids. The blanket level detectors allow the operators to monitor sludge
blanket levels and make adjustments to the clarifiers to optimize their function.
Monitoring and keeping sludge levels within the optimum range keeps the plant effluent
within the permitted limits for solids discharge. The reason for the replacement of all the
current detector is that they have reached their end of life and are no longer in production
or supported by the manufacturer.
Discussion
On July 1, 2019, via GovQuote, the Wastewater Division received two (2) quotes for
Sludge Blanket Level Detectors for all five (5) clarifiers. The received quotes are shown
below.
Vendor Price
Analytical Technology, Inc. of Collegeville, Pennsylvania $25,690.00
Motion Industries $37,874.14
Based on the quotes received it is recommended the purchase from Analytical
Technology, Inc. of Collegeville, Pennsylvania be approved.

Item G-14
#2019-222 - Approving Purchase of ExecuTime Software and
Applicable Hardware from Tyler Technologies
Staff Contact: Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 163 / 200
Council Agenda Memo
From:Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Meeting:July 23, 2019
Subject:Consideration of Approving Purchase of ExecuTime
Software and Applicable Hardware from Tyler
Technologies
Presenter(s):Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Background
Currently, the City of Grand Island operates in a decentralized manner to track time for
all employees. The departments also utilize various forms of paper time cards for
employees to fill in and sign off on for the hours they have worked. Some departments
also use complicated excel files or similar paper documents for calculating the
appropriate time worked for items such as shift differentials or overtime. Finally, payroll
was an area of significant deficiency noted in the 2018 City Audit Report.
Discussion
The ExecuTime software will improve the overall accuracy of payroll and save time by
eliminating the need for rework at serval points within the payroll process. The software
will also save time by minimizing errors from the miscalculation of time or incorrect
recording of time on manual time cards. Information is included that discusses in detail
the potential savings obtained by moving to an automated time keeping system, such as
ExecuTime. It is estimated that an employer with 500 employees could potentially save
$715,000/yr. and even if the City of Grand Island only saves ¼ of that, then the system
has already paid for itself by the end of year one.
The primary improvements offered by ExecuTime are:
Time clock integration – The utilization of time clocks will lead to improved
accuracy in the reporting of time for hourly employees and eliminate the time
employees spend recording their hours on a paper time sheet. Secondarily, with
the elimination of paper, review of payroll will be seamless while reducing the
cost of paper and labor due to scanning timesheets for long-term retention. The
time clocks will help with labor regulation compliance.
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 164 / 200
Additionally, the time clocks we have selected to purchase offer employees who
do not regularly sit at a computer a more streamlined method for requesting time
off. As it can be done directly from the touchscreen time clock itself. Which could
result in additional time saved.
Calculations – The software will calculate when items such as holidays, shift
differential or overtime apply. The system can also accommodate the different
schedules utilized by the Police and Fire departments. Currently, this is a manual
process performed by each department and then verified by the payroll
department. It can be a very time consuming process and prone to error.
Electronic approval – The software will allow employees to electronically
approve their time for each pay period and then route it to the supervisor for final
approval. After this occurs, all time then feeds seamlessly into our existing payroll
system (Munis) for the payroll department to then process. This will minimize the
changes needed to time after it has been submitted by a supervisor. It will also
electronically capture that all employees are approving and agreeing to the time in
the current pay period.
One other benefit the ExecuTime software offers is advanced scheduling. This is a tool
that the Police department plans to use for scheduling their shifts and ensuring each shift
maintains adequate staffing. Currently, the Police Department accomplishes this by
utilizing shared Outlook calendars, excel workbooks and printed pages. The ExecuTime
advanced scheduling tool will allow everyone in the Police Department to work within
the same tool and it will provide accurate real time updates.
The year one cost of the software is $99,862 and the cost of the time clocks that need to
be purchased for all applicable locations citywide is $43,380. This cost will be paid for
using the $95,021.01 credit card rebate we received in 2019, $21,175.30 will be paid by
the Finance department and the remaining amount of $27,045.69 will be paid for by other
funds based on their FTE counts. The recurring maintenance cost, estimated at
$5,641/yr., will be paid for with the regular Tyler Technologies maintenance billing that
is typically paid for in September annually by the Information Technology department.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Amend the resolution
3.Refer the issue to a Committee
4.Postpone the issue to future date
5.Take no action on the issue
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 165 / 200
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the purchase of the
ExecuTime Software and the related hardware for a total one-time cost of $143,276 and
estimated yearly recurring cost of $5,641.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution as presented.

authorized to represent the City of Grand Island as a special attorney. By this authority,
he may sign pleadings and appear in court on behalf of the City and, in coordination with
the Interim City Attorney, may otherwise provide legal advice and representation to the
City and its officials during the vacancy in the office of City Attorney.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Meeting:July 23, 2019
Subject:Consideration of Approving FY 2019-2020 Annual
Budget for Railside Business Improvement District and
Setting Date for Board of Equalization
Presenter(s):Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Background
On August 14, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance #9700 creating the Railside
Business Improvement District (BID). The creating ordinance established the purpose of
the District, described the boundaries, and established that real property in the area would
be subject to a special assessment to support the purposes of the District. The creating
Ordinance requires that a proposed budget for the District be approved by the BID Board
and forwarded to the City Council for consideration. On June 20, 2019, the Railside BID
Board met and approved the 2019-2020 budget that provides for a total special
assessment of $119,985.06. Which is a 3% increase of the 2019 special assessment
amount.
Discussion
The reformation of the Railside BID that occurred in 2018 created the Railside BID as a
perpetual entity. In this district, assessments are paid by property owners based on the
County assessor’s valuation of the property. Owners will be billed for the assessment
after approval by City Council sitting as the Board of Equalization on September 10,
2019. The budgeted assessments of $119,985.06 will be charged to property owners in
the district based on their valuations. Notices will be published in the Grand Island
Independent on August 16, 23, and 30, 2019. Copies of the notice will also be mailed to
property owners after the first publication via the method required by State law.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the proposed budget and date for BOE.
Grand Island Council Session/Budget Work Session - 7/23/2019 Page 184 / 200
2.Deny the proposed budget and date for BOE.
3.Send back to the BID Board for adjustment.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the City Council approves the BID budget as
proposed and sets the date for board of equalization as September 10, 2019.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution as proposed.
