From:RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Meeting:May 11, 2021
Subject:Public Hearing on Request from Casey’s Retail Company
dba Casey’s General Store 2883, 1420 South Locust
Street, for a Class “D” Liquor License
Presenter(s):RaNae Edwards, City Clerk
Background
Section 4-2 of the Grand Island City Code declares the intent of the City Council
regarding liquor licenses and the sale of alcohol.
Declared Legislative Intent
It is hereby declared to be the intent and purpose of the city council in adopting
and administering the provisions of this chapter:
(A)To express the community sentiment that the control of availability of alcoholic
liquor to the public in general and to minors in particular promotes the public
health, safety, and welfare;
(B)To encourage temperance in the consumption of alcoholic liquor by sound and
careful control and regulation of the sale and distribution thereof; and
(C)To ensure that the number of retail outlets and the manner in which they are
operated is such that they can be adequately policed by local law enforcement
agencies so that the abuse of alcohol and the occurrence of alcohol-related crimes
and offenses is kept to a minimum.
Discussion
Casey’s Retail Company dba Casey’s General Store 2883, 1420 South Locusst Street has
submitted an application for a Class “D” Liquor License. A Class “D” Liquor License
allows for the sale of alcohol and distilled spirits off sale only inside the corporate limits
of the city.
City Council action is required and forwarded to the Nebraska Liquor Control
Commission for issuance of all licenses. This application has been reviewed by the Clerk,
Building, Fire, Health, and Police Departments. See attached Police Department report.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 4 / 183
Also submitted was a request for Liquor Manager Designation for Tina Stone, 1212 Blue
Stem Circle, Norfolk, Nebraska. Ms. Stone has completed a state approved alcohol
server/seller training program. Staff recommends approval of the liquor license
contingent upon final inspections and liquor manager designation for Tina Stone, 1212
Blue Stem Circle, Norfolk, Nebraska.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the application.
2.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with no
recommendation.
3.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with recommendations.
4.Deny the application.
Recommendation
Based on the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission’s criteria for the approval of Liquor
Licenses, City Administration recommends that the Council approve this application.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the application for Casey’s Retail Company dba Casey’s General Store
2883, 1420 South Locust Street for a Class “D” Liquor License contingent upon final
inspections and Liquor Manager designation for Tina Stone, 1212 Blue Stem Circle,
Norfolk, Nebraska.

Council Session
Item E-2
Public Hearing on Request from D & A Investments, LLC for a
Conditional Use Permit to Allow for an Assisted Living/Memory
Care Facility of Property located at 2904 West 5th Street
Council action will take place under Request and Referrals item H-1.
Staff Contact: Craig Lewis
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 11 / 183
Council Agenda Memo
From:Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:May 11, 2021
Subject:Request of D&A Investments for approval of a
Conditional Use Permit to allow an Assisted
Living/Memory Care facility at 2904 West 5th Street,
Grand Island, Ne.
Presenter(s)Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
This request is for the approval of a Conditional Use permit to allow for the renovation of
an existing duplex into an Assisted Living/Memory Care facility at 2904 W. 5th Street.
The purchase of the property is dependent upon approval of the conditional use permit.
The property is currently zoned R-3 Medium Density Residential and as such assisted
living or group home facilities are listed in the zoning matrix as a permitted conditional
use requiring approval of the City Council.
Discussion
The proposal is to renovate the existing duplex into an Assisted living/Memory Care
facility for up to 12 individuals with memory care needs and providing health and
custodial care on a 24 hour basis from a residential setting. The facility will be renovated
in conformance with the International Building Code as an institutional occupancy
classification, that classification provides life safety requirements in addition to those
required in a residential dwelling.
A conditional use by definition is a use where allowed by the district regulations, that
would not be appropriate generally throughout the zoning district without restrictions, but
which, if controlled as to number, size, area, location, relationship to the neighborhood or
other minimal protective characteristics would not be detrimental to public health, safety,
and general welfare.
There appears to be existing assisted living facilities in the immediate neighborhood. The
submitted application identifies the location of the existing building located on two
adjacent lots along 5th Street and would not appear to have any negative impact on the
surrounding neighborhood.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 12 / 183
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the request for the Conditional Use Permit finding that the proposed
application is and will continue to be in conformance with the purpose of the
zoning regulations.
2.Disapprove or /Deny the Request, finding that the proposed application does
not conform to the purpose of the zoning regulations.
3.Approve the request with additional or revised conditions and a finding of
fact.
4.Refer the matter to special committee for a determination of a finding of fact.
Recommendation
Approve the request, finding that the proposed use and application promotes the health,
safety, and general welfare of the community, protects property against blight and
depreciation, and is generally harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the request for a conditional use permit, finding that the application
conforms with the purpose of the zoning regulations.

Council Session
Item E-3
Public Hearing on Industrial Development Revenue Bonds –
Tabitha Grand Island Project
Council action will take place under Resolutions item I-1.
Staff Contact: Jerry Janulewicz
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 16 / 183
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator
Meeting:May 11, 2021
Subject:A Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of Revenue Bonds
(Tabitha Grand Island Project), Series 2021
Presenter(s):Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator
Colleen Duncan, Bond Counsel
Background
Tabitha Grand Island, Inc. a Nebraska non-profit corporation, is requesting that the City
Council of the City of Grand Island adopt its Resolution authorizing the issuance of revenue
bonds, not to exceed $13,950,000, for the purpose of financing or reimbursing a portion of
the costs of constructing and equipping a new senior living campus and associated site
improvements in the City of Grand Island. Art. XIII, Sec. 4 of the Constitution of Nebraska
and Nebraska Revised Statutes Sec. 13-1101 to 13-1110 authorizes the issuance of revenue
bonds by a county, city, or village in order to acquire, own, develop, and lease or finance real
and personal property to be used by a nonprofit enterprises or for the purpose of defraying the
cost of acquiring and developing or financing such property by construction, purchase, or
otherwise. Issuance of such bonds does not create a financial obligation of the municipality
or county except with respect to the application of the revenue from the project to repayment
of the bond. The revenue bond is not a pecuniary liability or a charge upon its general credit
or against its taxing powers of the county or municipality. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 13-1104.
Under the United States Tax Code and IRS Regulations, bonds such as this may qualify for
favorable tax treatment of the interest paid on the debt if it is “bank qualified”. Governmental
entities may issue up to $10,000,000 per calendar year as “bank qualified debt.” Thus, a part
of the debt issued as authorized by the resolution could be denominated by the City as bank
qualified debt. Although City administration recommends approval of the Resolution,
administration does not recommend denominating any part of the issue as “bank qualified
debt” until late in the calendar year as between now and the end of the calendar year there
may be a need for the City to issue “bank qualified debt” for its own purposes. Because of
this potential need of the City, the Resolution would require the City to take action at a future
meeting in 2021 or 2022 to delegate its “bank qualification” to Tabitha Grand Island.
Discussion
The proposed construction of the new senior living campus in Grand Island will support the
economic health and vitality of the City, will provide additional living resources and care
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 17 / 183
opportunities for our senior citizens, and will contribute to the further development of the
city’s medical community.
The bond will contain the following terms:
The Bonds, when issued, will be a special, limited revenue obligation of the Issuer
payable solely from the loan repayments and certain other amounts under a liquidity
support agreement from an affiliate of Borrower, and shall not be a general liability
of the Issuer or a charge against its general credit. The Bonds will not be a debt of the
State, or any city, village, county or political subdivision of the State, and none of the
State or any city, village, county or political subdivision of the State shall be liable on
the Bonds. The Bonds shall not constitute a debt within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory debt limitation of the State. The Issuer’s taxing power is
not pledged for repayment of the Bonds.
City’s basic role and function will be to serve as a conduit in a financial transaction. Pursuant
to a loan agreement between the City, Pinnacle Bank, and Tabitha Grand Island, the City will
issue a bond that will be purchased by Pinnacle Bank. Proceeds from the sale of the bond will
be loaned to Tabitha Grand Island for financing or reimbursing a portion of the costs of
constructing and equipping the new senior living campus and associated site improvements.
Loan payments will be made by Tabitha Grand Island to Pinnacle Bank and applied to the
principal and interest due on the bond.
Conclusion
City staff recommend the resolution be approved.
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
Move to approve the resolution.

Loan Payments hereunder, all of the Issuer’s other rights under the Issuer Documents (except for the right
to receive any Additional Payments and any other fees and expenses to the extent payable to the Issuer,
any rights of the Issuer to indemnification and rights of notice, inspection and consent), and the Issuer
appoints the Lender and any officer or agent of the Lender to collect the Loan Payments and any other
payments due to the Lender (other than payments described in the preceding parenthetical), as the Issuer’s
assignee, under the Note or any Borrower Document and to sue in any court for such Loan Payments or
other payments and to exercise all rights under Issuer Documents with respect to the Project and to
withdraw or settle any claims, suits or proceedings pertaining thereto. Loan Payments and other
payments shall be made by the Borrower directly to the Lender, as the Issuer’s assignee, and shall be
credited against the Borrower’s obligations under the Note and the Issuer’s payment obligations under the

Loan Payments when due and shall not withhold any Loan Payments pending a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, or an agreement between Borrower and Lender
constituting a final resolution of the dispute, nor shall the Borrower assert any right of set-off or
counterclaim against its obligation to make Loan Payments.

the occurrence of an Event of Default by paying the applicable Prepayment Amount.
Upon any prepayment in part of the Loan, the prepayment shall be applied first to interest accrued
on the Loan and next to the principal of the Loan, which reduction of principal shall not affect the
monthly payment amount established pursuant to Section 2.04 herein or timing of such payments, but
shall cause the principal amount due on the Maturity Date to be reduced. The Bond shall be subject to
prepayment upon the same terms as the Loan, and, upon any prepayment of the Loan, the Bond shall be
deemed to be prepaid to the same extent that the Loan is prepaid.

Section 2.08. Special Obligations. The Bond shall not constitute nor give rise to a pecuniary
liability of the Issuer or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers, nor shall it constitute a debt

credit of the State or any political subdivision thereof, but shall be payable solely from the funds provided
therefor pursuant to this Loan Agreement. The Bond is a special, limited revenue obligation of the Issuer,

subdivision of the State is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bond, nor is the
State, the Issuer or any other political subdivision of the State, in any manner obligated to make any
appropriation for that purpose.
No provision, covenant or agreement contained in this Loan Agreement or any obligation herein
imposed on the Issuer, or the breach thereof, shall constitute or give rise to or impose upon the Issuer a
pecuniary liability, a charge upon its general credit or a pledge of its general revenues. In making the
agreements, provisions and covenants set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Issuer has not obligated itself
except with respect to the application of the Loan Payments to be paid by the Borrower. No recourse
shall be had by the Lender or the Borrower for any claim based on this Loan Agreement or the Tax

(e)The Lender has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters,
including purchase and ownership of municipal and other tax-exempt obligations, to be able to evaluate

(a)It is the intention of the parties hereto that interest on the Tax-Exempt Bond shall be and

Section 11 (or any successor provision) of the Code, and interest assessed against the Lender on
account of the inclusion of such interest payments in the Lender’s gross income for federal

tax purposes, plus
(3)an amount, which after the deduction of all federal, state or local taxes required
to be paid by the Lender in respect of the receipt thereof (calculated at the maximum statutory
rates applicable to the Lender) minus any tax benefit derived therefrom, shall be equal to the
amount of any Additions to Tax that are not deductible by the Lender for federal income tax
purposes.
(d)The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this
Loan Agreement, payment of the Note, prepayment of the Tax-Exempt Bond, or any purchase of the Tax-

such taxable year), then the Lender shall pay to the Borrower for the account of the Issuer, but only from
such funds as the Lender previously received from the Borrower, plus interest received from the
government on the claim allowed, subject to reasonable expenses of the Lender which expenses shall be
at Borrower’s expense and subject to the indemnity provisions of this Loan Agreement, the lesser of an
amount equal to such payment under paragraph (c) above with respect to such taxable year in question
made by the Borrower, or the amount of the claim allowed, plus interest recovered by the Lender on the
claim allowed.
(f)The Lender agrees to provide the Issuer and the Borrower with such information as may
be necessary to verify the calculations under this Section 7.10.
(g)A Determination of Taxability shall not, by itself, result in a Default or Event of Default,

of the loss occurrence, (x) the Borrower fails to notify the Lender; (y) the Borrower and the Lender fail to
execute an amendment to this Loan Agreement to the extent necessary to delete the Damaged Portion and
add the replacement property to the description of the Facilities or (z) if the Facilities are not restored and
the Borrower fails to pay the Prepayment Amount, then the Lender may, at its sole discretion, declare the
Prepayment Amount attributable to the reasonable value of the property damaged, destroyed or
condemned to be immediately due and payable, and the Borrower is required to pay the same. Provided
that no Event of Default has occurred that remains uncured, the Net Proceeds of insurance or any taking
shall be made available by the Lender to be applied to discharge the Borrower’s obligation under this
Article VIII, and after so applied any excess shall be paid directly to the Borrower. If any such damage,
destruction or condemnation relates to a portion of the Facilities in excess of $500,000, and the Borrower
elects to repair, restore, reconstruct, replace or improve the Facilities and if the Borrower or the Lender so
requests by a notice in writing to the other parties to this Loan Agreement, the Net Proceeds shall be
deposited with the Lender in escrow pending disbursement for that purpose under an escrow agreement.
If the Net Proceeds are insufficient to discharge the Borrower’s obligations under this Article VIII, the
Borrower shall use its own funds to discharge its obligations under this Article VIII.

(a)The Issuer shall act as bond registrar for the registration and transfer of the Bond, and as

owner of the Bond and the registered owner’s address, including copies of the Bond, assignments thereof

30-day period, the Lender will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such time, not to
exceed a period of 60 days (or such other period as may be reasonably agreed to by the Borrower and
Lender), if corrective action is instituted by the Borrower or the Issuer, as the case may be, within the

Document or Borrower Document was untrue in any material respect when made.
Section 10.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Lender, as assignee of the Issuer, shall have the right, at its sole option without any further
demand or notice (except as required by applicable Laws), to take any one or any combination of the
following remedial steps:
(a)by notice to the Issuer and the Borrower, declare the entire unpaid principal amounts of
the Bond and the Loan then outstanding, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all amounts payable
under this Loan Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 55 / 183
-34-
forthwith due and payable, without presentment, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and the Issuer;
(b)exercise any remedy available under any other Borrower Document;
(c)proceed by appropriate court action to enforce specific performance by the Issuer or the

FIRST, to pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the exercise of any
remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses;
SECOND, to pay (1) the Lender the amount of all unpaid Loan Payments, if any, that are
then due and owing, together with interest and late charges thereon and (2) the Lender the then
applicable Prepayment Amount (taking into account the payment of past due Loan Payments as
provided); and
THIRD, to pay the remainder of the proceeds to the Borrower.
Notwithstanding any other remedy exercised hereunder, the Borrower shall remain obligated to
pay to the Lender any unpaid portion of the Prepayment Amount.
Section 10.03. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Lender or the Issuer is intended to be exclusive and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given under this Loan Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any right or power may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Lender or
the Issuer to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article X, it shall not be necessary to give any
notice other than any notice required by this Article X. All remedies herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Lender or the Issuer shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement.

given such terms in the Loan Agreement.

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchaser has sufficient knowledge

Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of that investment, including a complete loss of such
investment.
4.The Purchaser understands that the obligations of the Issuer to make the Issuer Payments

distribution thereof, in that it does not now intend to resell or otherwise dispose of the Bond or any part of
its interest in the Bond. The Purchaser agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Bond or all
or any part of its interest in the Bond or the Loan Agreement unless such transfer is permitted under the
Loan Agreement and the transferee executes a letter of representation in substantially the form of this
letter and such sale, transfer or other disposition is in compliance with applicable securities laws.
9.The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer with respect to any claim
asserted against the Issuer that is based upon the Purchaser’s sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Bond or all or any part of the Purchaser’s interests in the Bond or the Loan Agreement in violation of the
provisions hereof or of the Loan Agreement, other than any claim that is based upon the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Issuer.
10.The Purchaser has executed and delivered this letter in connection with issuance of the
Bond and the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement as an inducement to the Issuer to cause the
issuance of the Bond and the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement to the Purchaser.

There are three (3) properties on this section of roadway that will be notified, upon City
Council approval, of the street name change.
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 resolution changing the
name to Shady Bend Spur for the old section of Shady Bend Road that previously outlet
to US Highway 30 and is now a dead end.
Sample Motion

Supplement
309 Liquor License Investigation
GNS Incorporated, doing business as Git N Split, filed to change their
designated Liquor Manager at the Grand Island location on Langenheder.
The family owned corporation has owned and operated the store in Grand Island
since it's inception. Larry Coffey is the corporate head. No other changes to
the license were outlined or requested.
Angela Coffey has applied to become the new Liquor Manager. Angela appears to be
the daughter of Larry Coffey. Angela lists her spouse on the application,
Jennifer Mundt-Coffey. Jennifer Mundt-Coffey provided a Spousal Affidavit of Non
Participation, and signed the non-participating spousal form.
Angela and Jennifer Coffey reside in Malcolm, NE. I spoke to Angela by
telephone. Angela confirmed that she has applied to become the corporate Liquor
Manager of all 11 of the Nebraska Git N Split locations. In addition, Angela
disclosed that she has been approved for a Nebraska Liquor License, at Discount
City in Lincoln, in the past.
I perused the information provided on the applicaion. I noted that Angela
disclosed a DUI conviction in 2006, drug paraphernalia infraction in 2008, and
an unknown speeding citation in Lincoln. Jennifer Mundt-Coffey disclosed no
violations. I researched our local Spillman database, and found no entries for
either Angela or Jennifer.
I then checked NCJIS files, and found no entries for Jennifer. I located the DUI
that Angela had disclosed, as well as an arrest, in 2009, for Terroristic
Threats. I did not find any entry for speeding in Lincoln. Angela's records
indicate that the 2009 Threats charges were never filed, and/or dropped, and she
was never convicted as prosecution was declined.
I also checked a paid, law enforcement only database, that generally provides
contact and residence history information and any civil proceedings. I found no
items of concern for either applicant. Also noted was Angela's completion of the
suggested State of Nebraska training courses for alcohol managers.
While DUI and Terroristic Threats are incidents of concern, both were more than
ten years ago, and prosecution was declined for the threats incident. Angela and
Jennifer have no recent entries or contacts of concern. Therefore, although
Angela and I did not meet in person, the Grand Island Police Department has no
objections to Angela Coffey being named the Liquor Manager for the Grand Island
Git N Split location.

#2021-107 - Approving Bid Award - Burdick Station Asbestos
Abatement
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 115 / 183
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting Date:May 11, 2021
Subject:Burdick Station Asbestos Abatement
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Burdick Generating Station consists of three steam units, three gas turbines and the
City Water Control System operations. In 2016, Steam Units #1 and #2 were removed
and are no longer a part of Grand Island Utilities generation. In 2017, Steam Unit #3 was
decommissioned. The large structure that housed the units is expensive to maintain and
contains hazardous materials. Utility staff retained Black & Veatch Engineering firm to
develop a demolition plan for the existing structure and hazardous materials removal.
Black & Veatch and Utilities Engineering staff developed a specification for the
abatement activities related to the removal of asbestos containing materials (ACM) prior
to demolition of the facility. Abatement will include all spaces inside and outside of the
administrative and powerhouse buildings, equipment, pipes, and structures of the
powerhouse and fuel oil tank farm, oil pump building and gas metering buildings.
Discussion
Specifications for the Burdick Station Asbestos Abatement were advertised and issued
for bid in accordance with the City Purchasing Code. Bids were publicly opened on April
20, 2021. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $1,200,000.00.
Bidder Bid Price Adjusted Price
McGill Asbestos Abatement, LLC
Omaha, Nebraska $871,000.00 $842,750.00
New Horizons Enterprises, LLC
Kansas City, Missouri $996,817.00
Horsley Specialties
Rapid City, South Dakota $1,168,284.30
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 116 / 183
Bids were reviewed by plant engineering staff, and the clarifications noted in the bid
provided by the low bidder, McGill Asbestos Abatement are acceptable. After bids were
received, it was determined that the Burdick Building demolition would not occur until
Fiscal Year 2023. To keep the building weather tight, the windows which have asbestos
containing material in the glazing and two tanks with an asbestos tar coating will remain
until a demo contractor is awarded the work.
This reduced scope will lower the labor bid amount for McGill Asbestos Abatement by
$31,950.00. The taxes were calculated at 7.0% and should have been 7.5%, increasing the
tax to $8,700.00. The revised bid by McGill Asbestos Abatement is $842,750.00, 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 Burdick Station
Asbestos Abatement to McGill Asbestos Abatement, LLC, of Omaha, Nebraska, as the
low responsive bidder, with the bid in the amount of $842,750.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the bid in the amount of $842,750.00 from McGill Asbestos Abatement,
LLC, for the Burdick Station Asbestos Abatement.

Background
The air preheater at Platte Generating Station is filled with heat exchangers, called

that captures and transfers some of the heat to raise the temperature of the incoming air
used for combustion. The baskets rotate through both the hot exit gas and the cold
incoming air. These baskets are made of a corrugated metal that are held in a metal
frame. Through the course of time, these baskets deteriorate, and need replaced.
Discussion

accordance with the City Purchasing Code. Bids were publicly opened on April 27, 2021.
The engineer’s estimate for this project was $200,000.00.

2020/2021 for two (2) new ½ ton, four-wheel drive, extended cab pick-ups.
Foreman’s vehicles have the most miles placed on them each year; the new unit will
replace a foreman vehicle and the vehicle currently used as a foreman vehicle will be
rotated down to work pickups, Unit 201 and Unit 207. The extended cab is needed for
additional room to keep work items accessible, such as maps and safety gear, and still
transport passengers.
Current Unit 201 is a 1999 Ford F-150 with 108,953 miles and a repair cost to purchase
price ratio of 1.22. Attachment 1 shows pictures and the vehicle inspection report.
Current Unit 207 is a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado with 72,396 miles and a repair cost to
purchase price ratio of 1.38. Attachment 2 shows pictures and the vehicle inspection
report. This unit is primarily used for hauling a trailer with traffic control devices and
once the work zones are set up it brought back to the shop. This is a very good example
of why rotating the newer, but higher mileage vehicles down to work pickups is the right
way to use our fleet. This limits having older, high repair cost units with low miles.
The current work pickups, Unit 201 and 207, will be offered to other Divisions before
being sold at auction, with the current Foreman pickups replacing them and being
renumbered to Unit 201 and 207.
Discussion
The State of Nebraska awarded contracts for ½ Ton, 4x4 drive, extended cab pickups to
three (3) different vendors. The vendor with the lowest price was unable to ensure the
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 127 / 183
vehicles would be picked up by the manufacturer to build the current year model. If not
picked up for this year’s model, the unit ordered would need to be next year’s model but
the manufacturer would not be honoring the contract prices for this year and were
uncertain of the potential price increase.
With this in mind, Public Works is recommending the next lowest priced units from
Husker Auto Group of Lincoln, Nebraska. This vendor has stated the manufacturer will
be producing in July and the units should be built within 30-45 days. The pickups may be
next year’s model but the price will remain the same.
The vehicle specifications awarded under State of Nebraska Contract No. 15481 OC to
Husker Auto Group of Lincoln, Nebraska meet all of the requirements for the Streets
Division. The purchase price of the new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 extended cab with
four-wheel drive under the State of Nebraska Contract will be $33,100.00 each for a total
purchase price of $66,200.00.
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 the purchase of two (2) new ½
ton, four-wheel drive, extended cab pick-ups using the State of Nebraska Contract No.
15481 OC awarded to Husker Auto Group of Lincoln, Nebraska for a total purchase price
$66,200.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

Background
The City of Grand Island Streets Division uses granular road salt and other granular
products to treat icy roadway conditions during the winter months. The salt storage
facility, “Salt Dome”, is capable of holding 900 Tons of bulk deicing material. Typical
annual tonnage of road deicing chemicals used by the City ranges between 1,000 tons and
1,500 tons. The storage facility is filled to maximum capacity after winter and kept as full
as possible during the winter months. Currently, the salt storage facility is not full and
would require an additional 175 Tons to reach capacity.
Each bid line item was considered and recommended for award separately. These items
include two (2) separate times of year conditions, off-peak and peak seasons. Off-Peak
pricing is valid between May 1 and August 31; Peak season pricing is valid between
September 1 and April 30.

Item G-8
#2021-111 - Approving Interlocal Agreement for a Regional
Government Enterprise Agreement with ESRI between Hall
County and the City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 140 / 183
Council Agenda Memo
From:Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Meeting: May 11, 2021
Subject: Approving Interlocal Agreement for a Regional Government
Enterprise Agreement with ESRI between Hall County and
the City of Grand Island
Presenter(s): Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Background
The City currently enjoys the benefits of a Local Government Enterprise Agreement with
Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) that has been in place since 2009. This
enterprise agreement provides the licensing and support for the GIS software deployed across
many city departments as well as server and cloud based technologies that are utilized for many
services both internal and public.
The City and Hall County have participated in an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for a
City/County GIS system since 1996 and during that time have enjoyed the benefits of mutual
data sharing and support. Hall County currently licenses ESRI software on a per-seat basis and
has no licensing for server software or advanced spatial database capabilities.
Since both the City and County utilize the same ESRI software it has become beneficial to both
parties to explore the option of entering into a Regional Government Enterprise Agreement with
ESRI together. This is similar to the City’s existing agreement with ESRI but also allows the
County as an additional authorized participant. This will allow the city to defray some of the cost
of the agreement while providing the County with access to ESRI technologies they are currently
not entitled to.
Discussion
ESRI bases the cost of licensing agreements on the population of the jurisdiction which is served.
Prior to the 2020 Census the population of Grand Island was below 50,000 which allowed us to
procure a licensing agreement for $35,000 annually. Our current licensing agreement expires
June 29, 2021. Because the City is now within the 50,000 to 100,000 population bracket, our
licensing fee would increase to $55,000 annually if we pursued renewing our existing agreement
with ESRI.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 141 / 183
In discussions with the County and ESRI it was determined that a Regional Government
Enterprise Agreement would be beneficial for both. The cost for the agreement would be
$187,500.00 over a 3-year period. In assessing the needs for both the City and County it was
determined that allocating 75% of the cost to the City and the remaining 25% of the cost to the
County was the optimal solution for both entities. The cost of the agreement is payable over
three annual installments in a ramped-up schedule that provides the first two years at a lower
than normal cost:
FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023
City Share (75%)$43,500.00 $46,875.00 $50,250.00
County Share (25%)$14,500.00 $15,625.00 $16,750.00
Total Cost (100%)$58,000.00 $62,500.00 $67,000.00
The interlocal agreement provides the framework for how the benefits of the licensing agreement
are divided between the City and County.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1. Approve the Interlocal Agreement and Regional Government Enterprise Agreement
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 Interlocal Cooperation Agreement
for a Regional Government Enterprise Agreement between ESRI and the City of Grand Island
and Hall County, Nebraska.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for a Regional Government Enterprise
Agreement between ESRI and the City of Grand Island and Hall County, Nebraska.

Change unless approved by Esri in writing in advance. If the assignment to the new entity is not approved, Customer will require any successor entity to uninstall, remove, and destroy the Products. This Agreement will terminate upon such Ownership Change.

CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA AND
COUNTY OF HALL, NEBRASKA INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT FOR AN ENTERPRISE GIS SYSTEM
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the County of Hall, Nebraska (hereafter called the County) to participate in a cost sharing agreement with the City of Grand Island, Nebraska (hereafter
called the City) with regards to a regional government enterprise agreement (hereafter called the Joint GEA) for an Enterprise GIS System (hereafter called the Project) with ESRI; and WHEREAS, the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Neb.Rev.Stat. § 13-801, et seq., provides that units of local government of the State of Nebraska may enter into agreements for the joint and cooperative exercise of powers, privileges, or authority capable of being exercised by either agency; and WHEREAS, the City and County have been participating in an Interlocal GIS Cooperation Agreement since 1996 to share GIS data, capabilities, and infrastructure to the benefit of both; and WHEREAS, the City currently enjoys the benefits of an enterprise licensing agreement with
ESRI that expires June 29, 2021; and WHEREAS, the parties wish to further expand this benefit by participating in a cost sharing
agreement with regards to the purchase and implementation of a Joint GEA with ESRI for the purposes of licensing GIS software and technology; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of the County has reviewed and approved this agreement and has authorized the Chairman of the Board of the County to sign this agreement; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City has reviewed and approved this agreement and has authorized the Mayor of the City to sign this agreement and the agreement between the City and ESRI to execute the Joint GEA. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these facts, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. DURATION. The City’s current enterprise license agreement with ESRI expires on June 29, 2021. Upon the signing of this agreement by both parties and execution of the contract with
ESRI, the new Joint GEA and this agreement would be in effect, concurrently, until June 29, 2024. 2. SEPARATE LEGAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE ENTITY. There shall be no separate legal or administrative entity created by this agreement. Execution of the contract with ESRI will be administered by the City. The GIS Coordinator of the City IT Department and the County
Surveyor (or his/her designee) will be the managers of the Project. The GIS Coordinator of the City IT Department will be the point of contact for the County, City, and ESRI regarding the project. 3. PURPOSE. The purpose of this agreement is to participate in a cost sharing agreement between
the City and County with regards to a Joint GEA with ESRI to procure GIS software and technology at a cost that is significantly less than if each entity pursued a contract on their own. The Joint GEA will be procured pursuant to a contract entered into between the City and ESRI. 4. MANAGING CUSTOMER. Execution of the Joint GEA with ESRI will be administered by the City as the Managing Customer for the Project. As such, the City will be the owner of the
associated Joint GEA ESRI customer account. The City will be responsible for all billings and
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 151 / 183
management of the account with ESRI. This includes management of any associated ESRI cloud-
based technologies such as ArcGIS Online. 5. MANNER OF FINANCING AND MAINTAINING A BUDGET. a. The City and County shall each adopt and maintain appropriations as required by law to fund its obligations on this agreement, and a separate budget shall not be required of either party.
b. The GIS Coordinator for the City IT Department and the County Surveyor (or his/her designee) shall review payment decisions before any payment is made to ESRI. c. The City shall be responsible for 75% of the cost of the Joint GEA and the County shall be responsible for the remaining 25%. d. Any software licenses, credits, or privileges that are limited by number under the Joint GEA will be divided between the City and the County at the same 75%/25% ratio, unless otherwise determined by the Project managers. e. The City shall make payment in response to the billings of ESRI. An account of the Project billings and payments shall be made available to the County upon request. The City agrees to bill the County 25% of the Joint GEA cost each calendar year of this agreement. The County agrees to pay the same prior to July 31 of each year.
f. Over the three (3) year term of this agreement, the City shall contract for a Joint GEA with ESRI. The total cost over the three year term of the agreement is $187,500.00. ESRI has given us a ramp-up schedule so that first two years of the contract are below normal
cost. The annual cost and share for the City and County is as follows:
Year 1 (2021-22) Year 2 (2022-23) Year 3 (2023-24)
Total Cost $58,000.00 $62,500.00 $67,000.00
City Share (75%) $43,500.00 $46,875.00 $50,250.00
County Share (25%) $14,500.00 $15,625.00 $16,750.00 6. PARCEL VIEWER. As part of this agreement, the City agrees to maintain a public facing
Parcel Viewer GIS Application that includes GIS data and layers from both the City and County for public use. Upon termination or expiration of this agreement without extension, the County will be responsible for an annual payment to the City in the amount of $3,500.00 to fund their
share of the public Parcel Viewer as long as it is operational. 7. TERMINATION. This agreement shall remain in effect and be in force as provided in paragraph
1. The County may terminate this agreement upon 90 day written notice to the City provided the termination is due to the insufficient appropriation of funds by the County Board of Commissioners. Upon termination of the agreement, all rights and privileges granted under the Joint GEA would immediately cease and the City and County will be required to separately pursue licensing agreements with ESRI. Upon termination, the ESRI customer account associated with the Joint GEA remains with the City. 8. EXPIRATION. This agreement and the associated contract between the City and ESRI expires June 29, 2024. Both parties may choose, at that time, to extend the agreement and contract. If the agreement is not extended the benefits of the Joint GEA will cease to apply and both City and County will be required to separately pursue licensing agreements with ESRI. If no extension is
sought, ownership of the ESRI customer account associated with the Joint GEA will remain with the City.
9. NON-DISCRIMINATION. The City and the County shall not, in the performance of this agreement, discriminate or permit discrimination in violation of federal or state laws or local ordinances because of race, color, sex, age, disability, political or religious opinions, affiliations

Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Meeting:May 11, 2021
Subject:Proposed Blighted and Substandard Area #32
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
Enclosed you will find a copy of a Substandard and Blight Study as prepared for Josh
Rhoads with Horizon Builders by Marvin Planning Consultants. This study is
approximately 43 acres of property on either side of Old Potash Highway and west of
North Road. 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. This is a revised version of a previously submitted study.
Josh Rhoads with Horizon Builders has submitted this study for the review and
consideration of the Grand Island City Council as permitted by Nebraska law. The
decision on whether to declare an area blighted and substandard is entirely within the
jurisdiction of the City Council with a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
If the study is approved it is anticipated that an application for Tax Increment Financing
would follow.
The question before Council will be whether to send the study to the Planning
Commission for its review and feedback. If the item is not sent to the Planning
Commission, the Council cannot declare the area blighted and substandard. Planning
Commission will meet June 2, and would have a recommendation ready following that
meeting.
Once an area has been declared blighted and substandard, the CRA can accept
redevelopment proposals for the area.
Discussion
The action item tonight relates to the study for proposed CRA Area No. 32 in south
central Grand Island as shown below. The study was prepared for 43 acres, all of which is
in the Grand Island City Limits.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 158 / 183
While practicing as Grand Island City Attorney, Jerry Janulewicz reviewed the Nebraska
Statutes and case law pertaining to the declaration of property as blighted and
substandard. His comments on this application are as follows:
The statutes which provide for the creation of a redevelopment area or redevelopment
project within a redevelopment area require the following procedure:
A request is made to the city council to declare an area to be substandard and
blighted and in need of development for purposes of enabling the creation of a
redevelopment area or a redevelopment project within a redevelopment area.
The city council submits the question of whether an area is substandard and
blighted to the planning commission for its review and recommendation prior to
making its declaration that an area is substandard and blighted.
The planning commission must hold a public hearing and submit its written
recommendations within 30 days holding a public hearing on the request.
Upon receipt of the recommendations from the planning commission the city
council may make its findings and declaration with respect to the property within
an area.
Unless the city council of the city in which such area is located has, by resolution
adopted after a public hearing with notice, declared such area to be a substandard
and blighted area in need of redevelopment, the Community Redevelopment
Agency cannot prepare a redevelopment plan for a redevelopment project area.
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 159 / 183
Following a declaration that an area is substandard and blighted, the Community
Redevelopment Agency is authorized to prepare or cause to be prepared and
recommend redevelopment plans to the governing body of the city and to
undertake and carry out redevelopment projects within its area of operation and
may enter into contracts with redevelopers of property containing covenants,
restrictions, and conditions regarding the use of such property for residential,
commercial, industrial, or recreational purposes or for public purposes in
accordance with the redevelopment plan and such other covenants, restrictions,
and conditions as the authority may deem necessary to prevent a recurrence of
substandard and blighted areas or to effectuate the purposes of the Community
Development Law, and to provide grants, loans, or other means of financing to
public or private parties in order to accomplish the rehabilitation or
redevelopment in accordance with a redevelopment plan. Within the area of
operation of the Community Redevelopment Authority, the authority may
exercise its statutory powers with respect to the redevelopment project.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 18-2107; 18-2109.
As stated in Fitzke v. City of Hastings, 582 N.W.2d 301 (Neb. 1998):
A CRA is not authorized to prepare a redevelopment plan for a
redevelopment project area unless the governing body of the city first
enacts a resolution declaring such area to be “a substandard or blighted
area in need of redevelopment.” § 18–2109. After such a declaration has
been made and a redevelopment plan has been prepared and approved, a
CRA is authorized to enter into contracts with redevelopers of property
containing covenants, restrictions, and conditions regarding the use of
such property for residential, commercial, industrial, or recreational
purposes or for public purposes in accordance with the redevelopment
plan and such other covenants, restrictions, and conditions as the [CRA]
may deem necessary to prevent a recurrence of substandard or blighted
areas ... and to provide grants, loans, or other means of financing to public
or private parties in order to accomplish the rehabilitation or
redevelopment in accordance with a redevelopment plan.§ 18–2107(4).
The CRA may utilize tax increment financing to pay for redevelopment
projects undertaken pursuant to the CDL. § 18–2124.
“Under this statutory scheme, a private development project would be eligible for tax
increment financing only if it is included within an area which has previously been
declared blighted or substandard and is in furtherance of an existing redevelopment plan
for that area. The declaration of property as blighted or substandard is not simply a
formality which must be met in order to assist a private developer with tax increment
financing; it is the recognition of a specific public purpose which justifies the expenditure
of public funds for redevelopment.” Fitzke, id, citing Monarch Chemical Works, Inc. v.
City of Omaha, 203 Neb. 33, 277 N.W.2d 423 (1979). The legislative intent underlying
Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 160 / 183
the Community Development Law is the elimination of blighted and substandard areas
and to prevent the reoccurrence of blight through a cooperative effort of the public and
private sectors, not to aid private developers. Fitzke, id.
At this point, Council is only making a decision about whether to forward the study to the
Planning Commission for its recommendation or not. According to NRSS §18-2109, it is
clear that the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing and have the opportunity
to review the Blight Study prior to Council declaring the property substandard and
blighted. If Council wishes to consider a declaration of substandard and blight, State
Statute requires that the question of whether an area is substandard and blighted is
submitted to the Planning Commission for hearing, review and recommendation.
Blighted Area of the Community
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 May 4, 2021,
22.76% of the City has been declared blighted and substandard. Area 32 would add 43
acres to the total of blighted and substandard property and would, if approved, add 0.23%
to the total area declared blighted and substandard bringing the total to 22.99%.
It does not appear that the declaration of Area 32 would significantly impact the City’s
ability to declare other areas blighted and substandard.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to forward the Study to the Planning Commission for its
recommendation.
2.Move to not forward the Study to the Planning Commission for its
recommendation.
3.Refer the issue to a committee.
4.Postpone the issue to future date.
5.Take no action on the issue.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council move to forward the study to the
Planning Commission if Council wishes to consider the use of Tax Increment
Financing as a redevelopment tool for this property.
Sample Motion
Move to forward the Study to the Planning Commission for their review and
recommendation.

PURPOSE OF THE BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD STUDY
The purpose of completing this Blight and Substandard study is to examine existing conditions
within Study Area 32 of the city of Grand Island. This study has been commissioned by the Rhoads
Enterprises, Inc. in order to analyze the possibility of declaring the area as blighted and
substandard within this specific study area.
The City of Grand Island, when considering conditions of Blight and Substandard, will be looking
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 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 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
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”
“Workforce housing means:
(a) Housing that meets the needs of today's working families;
(b) Housing that is attractive to new residents considering relocation to a rural community;
(c) Owner-occupied housing units that cost not more than two hundred seventy-five
thousand dollars to construct or rental housing units that cost not more than two hundred
thousand dollars per unit to construct. For purposes of this subdivision (c), housing unit
costs shall be updated annually by the Department of Economic Development based
upon the most recent increase or decrease in the Producer Price Index for all
commodities, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics;
(d) Owner-occupied and rental housing units for which the cost to substantially rehabilitate
exceeds fifty percent of a unit's assessed value; and
(e) Upper-story housing.”
This Blight and Substandard Study is only for a portion of the corporate limits of the city which has
not previously been so designated. The Study is intended to give the Grand Island CRA, Hall
County Regional Planning Commission and Grand Island City Council the basis for identifying and
declaring Blighted and Substandard conditions existing within the City’s jurisdiction and as allowed
under Chapter 18, Section 2123.01. Through this process, the City and property owners will be
attempting to address economic and/or social liabilities which are harmful to the well-being of
the entire community.

The study area can be seen in Figure 1 of this report. A Redevelopment Plan to be submitted in
the future will contain, in accordance with the law, definite local objectives regarding appropriate
land uses, improved traffic, public transportation, public utilities and other public improvements,
and the proposed land uses and building requirements in the redevelopment area and shall
include:
• The boundaries defining the blighted and substandard areas in question (including existing
uses and conditions of the property within the area), and
• A list of the conditions present, which qualify the area as blighted and substandard.
BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD ELIGIBILITY STUDY
This study targets the specified area indicated in Figure 1 of this report. The existing uses in this area
includes several uses including, residential, commercial, industrial, and public uses.
Through the redevelopment process, the City of Grand Island can guide future development and
redevelopment throughout the area. The use of the Community Redevelopment Act by the City
is intended to redevelop and improve areas of the community. Using the Community
Redevelopment Act, the City of Grand Island can assist in the elimination of negative conditions
and implement different programs/projects identified for the City.

EXISTING LAND USES
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. Because of this, the
short and long-term success and sustainability of the community is directly contingent upon
available resources utilized in the best manner given the constraints the City faces during the
course of the planning period. 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. Figures 2 and 3 shows the different uses present within the corporate limits of the
during development of the Comprehensive Plan. The different uses also have the overall percent
of the total area.
FINDINGS OF BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS ELIGIBILITY STUDY
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 to 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: Excellent, Very Good, Above
Normal, Normal, Below Normal, Poor or Very 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.
According to the data there are 10 structures in the study area.
Based upon the data provided to the planning team, the following is the breakdown for
structures in the study area:
• 0 (0.00%) structures rated as Excellent
• 0 (0.00%) structure rated as Very Good
• 0 (0.00%) structures rated as Above Normal
• 10 (100.00%) structures rated Normal
• 0 ( 0.00%) structures rated Below Normal
• 0 ( 0.00%) structures rated Poor
• 0 ( 0.00%) structure rated as Very Poor
Based upon these data, an assumption has been made that normal conditions in combination
with the age of structures or a condition less than normal may constitute the possibility of some or
considerable deterioration. It is common for older structures to need more maintenance and
upkeep in order to maintain a good or higher condition. Even a structure rated as normal 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, 100.00% of the structures in this study area are considered as a
normal condition.
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
Sidewalk Conditions
Sidewalks, regardless of the area and uses within a community, should provide a safe means of
movement for pedestrians. Sidewalks become increasingly more important along transportation
routes considered to be arterials and highways. A sidewalk allows for pedestrian movement while
keeping people off heavily traveled streets.

The sidewalk conditions were analyzed in the Study Area. The sidewalks were rated on five
categories: Excellent, Good, Average, Fair, Poor, and missing completely.
Within the study area there is approximately 3,000 lineal feet or .57 miles of area where sidewalk
could or should be located. After reviewing the conditions in the field, the following is how the
sidewalk conditions breakdown within the study area:
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Excellent sidewalk
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Good sidewalk
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Average sidewalk
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Fair sidewalk
• 3,000 (100.00%) lineal feet of Poor or Missing sidewalk
The study area does not contain any sidewalks either along Old Potash Road or North Road.
Sidewalk is critical to the overall pedestrian movement of an area, long-term. Even sidewalk
constructed which at present goes nowhere will eventually connect to several portions of the
community.
Due to the lack of sidewalk, sidewalks are considered a direct contributing factor.

Curb and Gutter
Curb and Gutters have a number of direct and indirect roles in communities. Their primary function
is to be a barrier to collect and direct water to be drained away. On a secondary level, they can
help define where the streets start and stop, and they act as a physical barrier between
pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Curb and gutter for the Study Area were examined similarly to sidewalks. The curb and gutter were
graded as either Excellent, Good, Average, Fair, Poor and Missing. There is no curb and gutter
within the study area. And is considered rural section drainage.
Within the study area there is approximately 3,000 lineal feet of curb and gutter possible. After
reviewing the conditions in the field, the following is how the curb and gutter conditions
breakdown within the corporate limits:
• 0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Excellent curb and gutter
• 0 ( 0.00%) lineal feet of Good curb and gutter
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Average curb and gutter
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Fair curb and gutter
• 3,000 (100.00%) lineal feet of Poor or Missing curb and gutter
The majority of the community’s streets and drainage have been designed and constructed in a
manner referred to as rural section. A rural section street/road is one where water drains directly
from the driving surface into ditches paralleling the street. This approach is adequate; however,
this design typically sees the ditches begin to silt in and/or have tall grass growing in them. These
factors quickly deteriorate the ability of the ditch to adequately drain away water from the driving
surface and this typically leads to localized flooding and ponding.
Due to the large amount of deteriorating and missing curb and gutter, the curb and gutter
conditions would be a direct contributing factor.
Streets
Streets within a community are essential to moving people and vehicles from place to place. Their
condition and construction have an impact on the appearance of a community, which leads
directly to how a community is perceived by the outside world.

Grand Island Council Session - 5/11/2021 Page 170 / 183
Blight and Substandard Study – Area 32
City of Grand Island, NE – Area 32 • April 2021 Page 9
Within the study area there is approximately 2,630 lineal feet or .49 miles of street possible. After
reviewing the conditions in the field, the following is how the street conditions breakdown within
the corporate limits:
• 425 (16.2%) lineal feet of Excellent street
• 0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Good street
• 2,205 (83.8%) lineal feet of Average street
• 0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Fair street
• 0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Poor street
The streets within the Study Area are in either excellent condition or average condition. Overall,
83.8% are considered to be in average condition; thus, making streets a contributing factor. Similar
to sidewalks and curb and gutter, a rating of average is considered the beginning of deterioration
and may continue to decline over the next few years.
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.

Age of Structure
Within the study area there are 10 structures. After researching the structural age on the Hall
County Assessor’s website, the following breakdown was determined:
• 8 (80.0%) unit was determined to be 40 years of age or older.
• 2 (20.0%) unit was determined to be less than 40 years of age.
However, when examining the age based upon a cumulative approach, as in Table 1 the
average age of the primary structures is equal to 41.8 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;”
This Study Area meets the defintion of Substandard as defined in the Revised Nebraska State

operated by the Borrower, and is or will be located at the west end of the Prairie Commons in Grand
