This property is south of Wildwood Drive and east of U.S. Highway 281. Discussion This property is zoned both B2 General Business and TA Transitional Agriculture. It is also in a GCO Gateway Corridor Overlay Zone designed to protect the entrance to the city. A truck terminal and distribution facility would like to locate at this site and these uses are allowed in the ME Manufacturing Estates Zone. The original Platte Valley Industrial park to the north of this site is also zone ME. The ME zone is one of the preferred zoning districts for the Gateway Corridor Overlay because of the lot sizes and required setbacks. This rezoning will make the zoning on this lot consistent with the lot boundaries and consistent with the intent of the Gateway Corridor Overlay. At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held January 6, 2021 the above item was considered following a public hearing. O’Neill opened the public hearing.

Steele, Mayor Attest: _______________________________ RaNae Edwards, City Clerk Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2021 Page 19 / 132 City of Grand Island Tuesday, January 26, 2021 Council Session Item F-2 #9815 - Consideration of Recommending Discontinuation of Sanitary Sewer District No. 545; Parkview Subdivision Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2021 Page 20 / 132 Council Agenda Memo From:John Collins PE, Public Works Director Meeting:January 26, 2021 Subject:Recommending Discontinuation of Sanitary Sewer District No. 545; Parkview Subdivision Presenter(s):John Collins, Public Works Director Background Three (3) property owners requested creation of a sanitary sewer district on the south side of Pioneer Boulevard, east of Blaine Street due to failing septic systems. At the October 13, 2020 regular meeting, the City Council created Sanitary Sewer District No. 545; Pioneer Subdivision with their approval of Ordinance No. 9794. Legal notice of the creation of the District was published in the Grand Island Independent on October 19, 2020, with notification being mailed to all involved property owners. The boundary for Sanitary Sewer District No. 545; Parkview Subdivision was selected to serve an area previously unserved that is located north of Mill River Road, east of South Blaine Street. The district boundary would eliminate approximately eight (8) septic tanks and provide sanitary sewer service to sixteen (16) lots. There is a portion of this area with multiple lots, parcels, and vacated streets inclusive to a community building that will be served as one (1) lot. Discussion The district completed the 30-day protest period at 5:00 p.m., Monday, November 23, 2020. There were eight (8) valid protests filed against this District by affected property owners. These owners represent 854.40 front feet, or 31.12% of the total District frontage of 2,745.20 feet. After reviewing Sanitary Sewer District No. 545; Parkview Subdivision the City Administration has decided to recommend to Council that this district be discontinued so that the work can be combined with the South Interceptor Project. The existing South Interceptor is nearing capacity and is anticipated to be replaced in 2030 with a higher capacity pipeline located to the south. If the existing South Interceptor is to remain in service, rehabilitation will be necessary to address structural and operational deficiencies. Combining construction of a Parkview Subdivision sanitary sewer main with rehabilitation of the existing South Interceptor should significantly reduce cost attributed to a Parkview Subdivision sanitary sewer main project. Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2021 Page 21 / 132 Rehabilitation of the existing South Interceptor cannot occur until the flow can be diverted from it to the new South Interceptor. We currently anticipate this will start in 2030 or soon thereafter. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning this issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Approve the discontinuation of Sanitary Sewer District 545. 2.Refer the issue to a Committee. 3.Postpone the issue to a future date. 4.Take no action on the issue. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the discontinuation of Sanitary Sewer District 545; Parkview Subdivision. Sample Motion Move to approve the discontinuation of Sanitary Sewer District 545; Parkview Subdivision.

The VOCA grant funds support the Police Department Victim/Witness Unit, consisting of a Coordinator and an Advocate. The VOCA grant generally requires a 20% match from the City, however, the match requirement has been waived for this grant funding period. Discussion The Police Department is applying for a 12-month VOCA grant with a grant period running from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 requesting $128,394.00 from the federal government with no local match. This action is to obtain Council approval to apply for the grant. It does not obligate the City to accept the grant if approved. Approval of an awarded grant will require Council approval at a later date. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Move to approve 2.Refer the issue to a Committee 3.Postpone the issue to future date 4.Take no action on the issue Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the application for a 12-month Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant by the Police Department to the U.S. Department of Justice. Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2021 Page 33 / 132 Sample Motion Move to approve the Police Department’s 12-month Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice to fund the Victim/Witness Unit.

The position is based on 2080 hours per year at the rate of $19.50 currently and July, 2021 –October, 2021 (720 hours) and $20.08 for the remaining months (1360 hours) due to the anticipated 3% COLA. We are requesting federal funds for the advocate’s salary in the amount of $41,349 ($19.50 per hour x 720 hours + $20.08 per hour x 1360 hours). The advocate works Sunday through Thursday 1:00pm to 10:00pm, extending our business hours to 6 days a week and 5 hours per day beyond the norm. She is trained to work with children as well as adults and a list of duties includes: provide direct service to victims of crime, maintain proper records of all activities, promote public awareness of victim assistance services, distribute/conduct surveys, attend required and necessary trainings; and coordinate and collaborate with community agencies. Volunteers for the program will provide conservatively 12 hours of service for year 1 of the 24-month grant period. Both volunteers assist with recordkeeping, client surveys, and public awareness of victim assistance services. One of the volunteers provides direct service to crime victims. 100% of that time will be devoted to the project . Grand Island Police Department Support Staff will provide 42 hours of service to the program during year one of the 24-month grant period. Support personnel and light-duty police officers will assist the program by answering the telephone, serving victims, reviewing reports, setting up and updating victim files, sending victim letters, filing, inputting data, and maintaining records. 2% of their time will be devoted to the project. The existing position of Project Director will contribute approximately 2% of his time, equal to roughly $4,540 (78 hours x $58.20 per hour, rounded up), to the project, but this amount will not be included in the federal request or match portion of the grant. The Director of the program will consult with the Coordinator regarding the program’s activities. He will maintain weekly Coordinator contact, conduct a quarterly staffing, assist with annual VOCA grant and quarterly reports, and prepare an annual written employee evaluation. Regarding direct victim service and specific cases, Director will continue to provide support, direction and guidance to Coordinator and victim advocate as needed. The existing Fiscal Officer will devote 2% of her time, equal to approximately $2,488 (78 hours x $31.90 per hour, rounded down) to the project. However, her hours will not be included in the federal request or match portion of the grant. The Fiscal Officer will oversee the finances of the project and assist with VOCA reports. NOTE: Neither the Project Director’s nor the Fiscal Officer’s hours will be factored into the federal request or match portion of our grant. Volunteers and GIPD Support Staff will be factored into local match in year 2 of the grant period. 2 Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2021 Page 55 / 132 Purpose Area #4 3 Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2021 Page 56 / 132 Purpose Area #4 B.

The program provides subsidies to commercial air carriers to offset the cost of offering such service in areas where ridership cannot be to the level to achieve profitability. This program is intended to help small communities in economic development, community development and population stabilization. Hall County has benefited from this program over the last few years by assuring that the area continued flight service for citizens and businesses. Every two years the Department of Transportation asks for proposals from air carriers for the various EAS communities for the continuation of air service. Proposals from American Airlines, SkyWest, and Boutique Air were submitted for the Central Nebraska Regional Airport. A summary of the proposals are attached for City Council review. Discussion The Airport Authority Board, in a letter to Mayor Steele, is requesting concurrence from the City for the formal request to the Department of Transportation for the Essential Air Service. This is a requirement of the DOT on matters such as this. On January 20, 2021 the Hall County Airport Authority conducted a public meeting to discuss the bids for Essential Air Service to Grand Island, NE. The Hall County Airport Authority is recommending American Airlines to the Department of Transportation (DOT) for air service for the Central Nebraska Regional Airport under the Essential Air Service Program.
