Council Session
Item -1
Election of City Council President
The City Council is required to elect one Councilmember to the office of Council President. The term is
for a one-year period. The Council President automatically assumes the duties of the Mayor in the event
that the Mayor is absent or otherwise unable to fulfill his/her duties. Nebraska law allows the election of
the Council President to be by secret ballot. The total number of votes for each candidate; however, must
be stated and recorded in the Minutes. Past practice has included a run-off election between the top two
nominees, if necessary. The City Clerk will prepare, distribute, and count ballots. Nominations to fill the
vacancy are in order. A second is not required on nominations.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator
Meeting:December 14, 2021
Subject:Public Hearing Concerning the Annual Report by the
Citizen Advisory Review Committee on the Economic
Development Program Plan
Presenter(s):Dave Taylor, EDC President
Background
The voters of the City of Grand Island approved an economic development plan at the
November 6, 2012 election. Subsequent to the election, the city has adopted an ordinance
that establishes the economic development plan and a Citizen Advisory Review
Committee to oversee the process of approving applications for economic development
incentives. The Citizen Advisory Review Committee is required by State Statute and the
Grand Island City Code to make an annual report to the City Council.
Discussion
The Citizen Advisory Review Committee has been conducting regular meetings during
the last six months as required by the City Code and the Nebraska Statutes. The
committee looks forward to receiving and reviewing meritorious applications for
consideration in the future. The committee received the annual report from the Economic
Development Corporation at its meeting of December 2, 2021 and voted to forward it on
to the City Council for its review and acceptance.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Accept the annual report of the Citizen Advisory Review Committee.
2.Do not accept the annual report of the Citizen Advisory Review Committee.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 29 / 220
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council accept the annual report of the Citizen
Advisory Review Committee.
Sample Motion
Move to accept the annual report of the Grand Island Area Economic Development
Corporation/Citizen Advisory Review Committee.

#9865 - Consideration of Amending Chapter 35 of the Grand
Island City Code Relative to Groundwater Control Area
Boundaries
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 52 / 220
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator
Meeting:December 14, 2021
Subject:Ordinance to Amend the Groundwater Control Area No. 3.
Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator
Background
The Parkview Well Superfund Site is located in the southwestern portion of the City of Grand
Island in Hall County, Nebraska. The Site consists of two areas of groundwater contamination
and associated source areas that resulted from the historical mismanagement of industrial
solvents. The contaminant source areas are located at a facility at 3304 Engleman Road South
and one located at a facility at 3445 West Stolley Park Road. Both resulted in groundwater
contamination that trended to the east.
Pursuant to recommendations from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, on
August 19, 2011, the City Council Approved Ordinance 9310, establishing the boundaries of
Groundwater Control Area #3 and adopting institutional controls within the area to prevent
human exposure and consumption of contaminated groundwater and prohibit the installation of
new wells supplying water for human consumption in the plume areas.
EPA’s Remedial Action within the control area started in September 2008, which included
private domestic well sampling and alternate water supplies and construction of a groundwater
extraction well network and treatment system that was completed on July 15, 2010. The
groundwater extraction and treatment system has been operational since August 2, 2010.
In May 2021, the EPA notified the City that reductions of the area of contamination east of
Garland Street and Blaine Street would permit that area to be removed from Groundwater
Control Area No. 3 and in June 2021, the EPA approved the City’s proposed boundary
description. Additionally, correspondence recently received from the EPA clarified that
recreational use of surface waters is acceptable.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 53 / 220
Discussion
The proposed Ordinance would amend City Code Chapter 35, Article VIII, Sec. 35-86 to remove
lands east of Garland Street and Blaine Street from Groundwater Control Area #3 and would
specify that recreational use of surface waters in not prohibited by city code.
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 City Council approve the ordinance amending Chapter
35, Article VIII, Sec. 35-86 and 35-88 of the Grand Island City Code relative Groundwater
Control Area No. 3.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Ordinance 9865.

environmental consulting firm, that the operation of the well will not cause the movement of the
groundwater contamination or adversely affect the remedial action provided for in the RODs for
the Site. Any such hydrological study shall be submitted to EPA for review and approval prior to
well installation.
(C) This Section on Prohibited Groundwater Uses shall not prohibit: (i) uses of groundwater
pumped from wells within Groundwater Control Area No. 3 which do not result in human
exposure to contaminated groundwater, including, but not limited to, groundwater monitoring
wells, EPA or NDNR remediation wells, wells that produce 50 gpm or less for dewatering
purposes, wells used for non-contact cooling water for industrial, commercial or residential uses,

#2021-342 - Approving Bottom Ash System Upgrades at Platte
Generating Station
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 78 / 220
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:December 14, 2021
Subject:Platte Generating Station Bottom Ash System Upgrades
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The City of Grand Island Utilities Department at Platte Generating Station publicly
requested proposals to upgrade the existing bottom ash handling system to comply with
the changes in regulations. Platte Generating Station uses a steam generator powered by
coal combustion to generate power. Left over ash from the coal combustion falls to the
bottom of the boiler and is removed by the west bottom ash handling system. The bottom
ash handling system consists of a water filled, bottom ash storage hopper from which the
bottom ash is discharged through feeder hoppers to jet pumps. The jet pumps convey the
bottom ash through a discharge piping system to dewatering bins where the bottom ash is
separated, and the water is decanted to a settling tank and surge tank.
EPA environmental regulation Effluent Limit Guideline Rule (ELG rule) will not allow
the plant to discharge bottom ash transport water after December 31, 2023. Upgrades to
the system will include water treatment, surge tank level control, and secondary
containment.
Discussion
The request for proposal for services to upgrade the existing bottom ash handling system
was sent to four potential bidders and publicly advertised in accordance with the City
Purchasing Code. Only one proposal to complete the project using the engineering,
procurement and construction process was received.
Company
UCC Environmental,
Waukegan, Illinois
The proposal was reviewed by department staff and found compliant with specifications
and less then the engineer’s estimate.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 79 / 220
After reviewing the proposal, the Department staff entered negotiations with the
responsive bidder. Negotiations resulted in a final contract price to include the Base Price
plus the design and supply of piping to service the sump pit for a total not to exceed
$1,980,700.00.
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 award the Proposal for the Platte
Generating Station Bottom Ash System Upgrade to UCC Environmental of Waukegan,
Illinois as the only evaluated proposal, with a proposal price not to exceed $1,980,700.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the proposal from UCC Environmental of Waukegan, Illinois, in the
amount not to exceed $1,980,700.00 for the Platte Generating Station Bottom Ash
System Upgrade as submitted.

Item G-6
#2021-343 - Approving New South Central Area Law Enforcement
Area (SCALES) Interlocal Agreement for Police Services
Staff Contact: Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 83 / 220
Council Agenda Memo
From:Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Meeting:December 14, 2021
Subject:Approval of SCALES Interlocal Agreement for
Cooperative Law Enforcement Services
Presenter(s):Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Background
The Police Department has been a charter member of the South Central Area Law
Enforcement Service, SCALES, through an Interlocal Agreement since the inception of
the organization. Different agencies have joined the SCALES association since the
inception of the association. The previous SCALES Interlocal Agreement expired on
August 15th, 2021 so a new five (5) year Interlocal Agreement is proposed.
Discussion
The Police Department has been a member of SCALES since 2006. SCALES agencies
support one another during special events and or criminal investigations. Grand Island
has received the support of SCALES in investigating cases such as officer involved in
custody deaths. In turn, our department has supported other SCALES agencies in
criminal investigations and special events.
SCALES agencies also pool funding to bring specialized training schools to the area.
SCLAES has hosted several specialized courses in the area that multiple officers from the
Grand Island Police Department have been able to attend. Such training would be cost
prohibitive for any one agency to provide.
SCALES membership includes the Grand Island Police Department and the Police
Departments from Hastings, Kearney, Lexington, Aurora, Holdrege, Cozad, and Minden
It also includes the Hall, Adams, Buffalo, Dawson, Merrick, Clay, Phelps, and Hamilton
County Sheriff’s Offices.
The last SCALES Interlocal Agreement was signed in March of 2016, and expired on
August 15th, 2021. A new five (5) year Interlocal Agreement is proposed.

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 new five (5) year
SCALES Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative Law Enforcement Services.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the new five (5) year SCALES Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative
Law Enforcement Services.

Pump, Inc. continue with the designation of sole source provider for Flygt equipment and
repairs as previously approved in Resolution No. 2010-360 on December 21, 2010. This

Background
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 of the Public Works Department.
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. A study was conducted by SCS Engineers of Omaha,
Nebraska 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 was also part of this investigation.
On July 23, 20219, via Resolution No 2019-220, City Council approved Amendment No.
1 to the original agreement with SCS Engineers of Omaha, Nebraska in the amount of
$20,890.00, resulting in a revised agreement amount of $81,020.00. Amendment No. 1
allowed for further research 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.
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

Station Operations and Facility Improvements, resulting in a revised agreement total of
$493,356.25. These improvements include a new dumping facility, scales and office area
to handle current tonnage and projections into the future. Such amendment will allow for
survey, geotechnical work, design, the construction bid phase, and permitting.

#2021-350 - Approving Purchase of Trojan Items for UV System at
the Wastewater Treatment Plant
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 138 / 220
Council Agenda Memo
From:Matt Walker PE, Assistant Public Works Director of
Wastewater
Meeting:December 14, 2021
Subject:Approving Purchase of Trojan Technologies Items for
UV System at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The City of Grand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection
system is a Trojan UV3000 Plus. In the system, there are a total of four (4) UV banks,
which disinfect effluent water. This system was installed in 2004 and is in need of
updating to a self-cleaning system. Updating the system requires replacement of the
drive cylinder, cleaning canisters and drive bar mechanism, for each of the four (4)
banks. Wastewater Division staff plan to do one (1) bank per year over the next three
(3) years to complete the updates.
During Fiscal Year 2021 one (1) bank was updated for a cost of $38,581.75.
Discussion
The City of Grand Island is required to meet State mandated disinfection standards
for treated effluent discharged from the Wastewater Treatment Plant each year from
May through September. The City UV disinfection system is a Trojan UV3000 Plus
which uses UV disinfection lamps to inactivate pathogens, such as E. coli, before
discharging the effluent.
On January 12, 2021, via Resolution No. 2021-8, City Council approved MC2 Inc. of
Omaha, Nebraska as the sole source provider for Trojan Technologies UV parts,
materials, and service.
In order to update the second UV bank City Council approval is necessary, as the
estimated amount is over the $30,000.00 purchase authority for Administration. At
this time, the cost to provide updates to the second bank of the system is estimated at
$50,119.37 plus freight.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 139 / 220
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 pass a resolution approving the
purchase of Trojan Technologies UV parts and materials for updates to the second UV
bank from MC2 Inc. in the amount of $50,119.37 plus freight.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution.

Item G-14
#2021-351 - Approving Opioid Litigation Settlement
Staff Contact: Jerry Janulewicz
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 156 / 220
1
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator
Meeting:December 14, 2021
Subject:Opioid Litigation Settlement.
Presenter(s):Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator
Background
The City of Grand Island received information regarding two legal settlements recently entered
into by the Nebraska Attorney General against a manufacturer and several distributors of
prescription opioid drugs. The first settlement concerns Johnson & Johnson. The second
settlement concerns prescription drug distributors: McKesson, Cardinal Health, and
AmerisourceBergen (collectively referred to as the “distributors”). Both settlement agreements
contain similar terms and can be read in their entirety at the following website:
https://nationalopioidsettlement.com.
Both settlement agreements involve distributions of money on an annual basis to both a state
fund and allow direct distributions of money on an annual basis to certain political subdivisions
(referred to as “participating subdivisions”). The City of Grand Island qualifies to be a
participating subdivision based upon its population.
The monetary distributions under both settlement agreements are maximized for both the state’s
share and each participating subdivision’s “direct share” when all participating subdivisions
“sign on” to or execute each of the two settlement agreements. It is important to note that
participating subdivisions must sign on to these settlement agreements in order to receive their
direct share as well as to be eligible to receive any additional distribution or grant from the
state’s share. Participating subdivisions that do not sign on to these agreements will not only not
receive their direct share but will also not be eligible to receive any additional distribution or
grant from Nebraska’s Opioid Recovery Fund. In order to ensure that Nebraska and each of its
participating subdivisions are able to realize their maximum payments under these settlements,
the Nebraska Attorney General is asking counties and cities to provide their responses before
January 2, 2022.
To receive the City’s direct share and be eligible to receive additional funding from the state’s
Opioid Recovery Fund the City must follow the steps listed below:
1. Designate an individual to have legal authority to execute the participation agreements
on behalf of the City.
2. Log on to https://nationalopioidsettlement.com.
3. Click on the political subdivision registration link.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 157 / 220
2
4. Enter the City’s unique registration code and click “verify registration code”.
5. The National Administrator will then provide the City with the necessary documents to
participate in the settlements. All required documentation must be signed and submitted
electronically through the nationalopioidsettlement.com website using the “DocuSign”
service.
According to the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office, the City’s Direct Share in the best-case
scenario from the Opioid Distributors Agreement is $184,429.10 paid out over 18 years, and
from the Johnson & Johnson Agreement the amount is $45,070.92 paid out over 11 years.
Discussion
The City has several options for response to these settlement agreements:
1. “Sign on” to both of these agreements using the forms provided by the National
Administrator and thereby make the City eligible to receive its direct share and
potentially receive additional funds from Nebraska’s Opioid Recovery Fund;
2. “Sign on” to both agreements but elect to contribute the City’s direct share to
Nebraska’s Opioid Recovery Fund for use within Region III Behavioral Health Services
area;
3. Elect to not “sign on” to these agreements and forego both the City’s direct share and
forego distributions from Nebraska’s Opioid Recovery Fund.
Settlement funds must be used for the purposes as generally described on the Exhibit A. The
uses involve programs for opioid abatement, treatment, prevention, and other strategies.
Conclusion
City Administration recommends that Mayor Steele be authorized by resolution to execute on
behalf of the City the necessary documents for City’s participation in the settlement agreements
using the forms provided by the National Administrator, and thereby enable the City to receive
its direct share from both opioid settlement funds.

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.

Staff Contact: Todd McCoy
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 179 / 220
Council Agenda Memo
From:Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting:December 14, 2021
Subject:Approving Renewal of Building Lease with the Nebraska
State Patrol
Presenter(s):Todd McCoy
Background
Since the City purchased the former Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant (CAAP) to
build Heartland Public Shooting Park (HPSP) the City has been leasing one of the
original CAAP buildings to the Nebraska State Patrol for storage.
Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Department recommends renewing the lease with the Nebraska
State Patrol for two additional years. The State Patrol is a reliable tenant that mows the
property, maintains landscaping, completes minor building repairs, and handles the snow
removal. In 2019 the State Patrol agreed to make improvements to the building which
included replacing the roof, mold mitigation, and HVAC updates. The recommended
lease is $1,020.00 annually.
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 City Council approve the resolution authorizing the
extension of the lease with the Nebraska State Patrol for an additional two year period.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution authorizing the City to extend the lease for an additional
two years to the Nebraska State Patrol in the amount of $1,020.00 annually.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a)
This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.
The City of Grand Island has had success in meeting goals identified in the 2019-2023 consolidated plan with the use of CDBG funds throughout
the 2020 Program year below outlines activities that have contributed to each specific goal.
Goal 1: Increase Quality and Affordable housing options
Throughout the 2020 program year, the Housing Development Corporation was able to complete a Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Program.
This program was able to bring 10 homes of low to moderate incomes persons in Grand Island up to City code.
Goal 2: Cultivate Small And Emerging Businesses
in 2016 a significant allocation was made to a local non profit known as Railside Downtown Business Improvement District. Railside has
continued to use CDBG funds to help small businesses start up or relocate to the downtown area by offering aid in the form of Rental
Assistance. This has both prompted owners of buildings downtown to renovate and aided small locally owned business to occupy recently
rehabbed store fronts, while expanded their businesses. Through out the 2020 program year this program was able to provide Rental assistance
to 3 new business, making the program total 13.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the City was able to restructure an Revolving loan fund which still met the same economic development project
needs but the amounts requested were lowered to stretch the funding farther than originally intended. The Revolving loan fund offered small
business loans to locally owned business for job creation and retention purposes to aid in economic challenges that local small businesses were
facing this program was able to aid 19 small businesses.
Goal 3: Support public Services and vulnerable populations
From a past allocation By moving to a new location the Literacy Council estimated that it would be able to double the number the of clients they
served although due to COVID-19 their doors had to be shut to the public for multiple months, after reopening the the Literacy Council was able
to continue serving 106 previous clients and 37 new clients have been added although the new clients aided is not as high as previously
expected due to COVID-19 restrictions and safety precautions, TLC continues to add new clients.
Throughout the 2020 program year the City of Grand Island was able to allocate the CDBG-CV funds to 7 different programs to aid low to
moderate income persons who have been affected by COVID-19. The YMCA of Grand Island and Heartland United Way both have implemented
programs that provide PPE and sanitizing items to their staff, Members of their organizations. Heartland United Way also is offereing items to
other local non-profits and churches who are serving those in need, as many churches have food, clothing drives and provide monetary aid. The
YWCA has expended funds to implement the Women’s Empowerment Center, this program is able to aid residents within our community learn
knew skills to re gain employment after COVID-19, the WEC also found that multiple community member were not proficient in digital skills and
due to COVID-19 many employers required on-line interviews, the women’s empowerment center also allowed a place where persons could
learn new digital skills and complete job interviews with help from the YWCA staff.
Heartland United way and the Central Nebraska Community Action Partnership both expended funds from the CDBG-CV allocation in order to

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
At this time the City of Grand Island does not require a local match from sub grantees although
the City plans on using funds, whenever possible, to assist community groups and organizations
in leveraging resources. This means the City will consider projects a priority if the CDBG funds
will be used as a leverage to further secure additional funding to conduct a project on a scale
much larger than would have been possible with CDBG funds alone.
In the 2020 Annual Action Plan the city allocated funds in the amount of $198,392.00 from the
to Crossroads Mission Avenue, a local men’s shelter that currently received funding from other
grants, and from private donors to purchase 3 properties to shelter and provide a safe place for
men currently enrolled in their daytime program. The $198,392.00 will be matched by
$1,639,626 already raised by Crossroads to implement the acquisition of these three
properties.

At this time the City of Grand Island is currently working on making progress towards meeting
housing goals that were prioritized within the 2019-2023 consolidated Plan. This year the had
to manage the expectations because of COVID-19 pandemic. The sub-recipients worked hard to
ensure the safety of the homeowners and contractors to accomplish work, but ultimately due
to the demand in building supplies and time to process applicants the programs did take longer
than expected. The housing programs who showed progress through out the 2020 program
year were funded through previous year allocations but were able to complete their programs
Grand Island Council Session - 12/14/2021 Page 197 / 220
CAPER 12
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and assist 10 homes within Grand Island.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
The City of Grand Island works hard to continue progressing towards the housing goals set in
the 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan. Although the Owner Occupied Rehabiltation programs have
had slow progress this program year, they generally are effective to meeting the the housing
quality needs in our community, the City believes the speed of progress can be directly related
to COVID-19 and there fore would fund programs similar in the future, Other directions the City
has gone in the past is impletmenting a Purchase, Rehab, and Resell program. As this program
purchases houses within the community and “rehabs “them, which in turn aides not only LMI
persons but can help the appeal of a neighborhood.
The City has yet to do so but may in the future look at neighbor hoods who have worst case
houses and target areas of LMI to do specific target area rehabilitation. With the creation of
the BUILD GI group the City hopes to build and maintain affordable housing options within
Grand Island by creating partnerships between for-profit developers and non-profit housing
service providers. The City does recognize that there is a need for affordable housing and
hopes that the BUILD GI group can foster growth in this area.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e);
91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Grand Island allocated funds in the 2020 AAP to Crossroads Mission a local men’s
shelter that aids in teaching life, emotion, and employment skills to their residents enrolled in
the program. Due to COVID-19 and the extension granted to submit the 2020 AAP this program
has barely begun and at this time has no clients to report. Throughout this program year, the
City of Grand Island did not partake in any projects that specifically targeted homelessness. The
City continues to support local area Continuum of Care (CoC) by having a staff member from
the Community Development Division attend the meetings. The CoC has several local agencies
that serve homeless persons. The Local CoC works as a collective group to meet and conduct
case coordination to better help individuals find the services best suited for them.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Grand Island did allocate funds to the Crossroads mission for their expansion of
facilities that will consist of transistional housing, emergency housing and classroom/work
settings for those enrolled in their programs, due to COVID -19 and the extension for a delayed
submission of the 2020 plan there are not yet numbers for this program. The City of Grand
Island continues does have multiple agencies such as Hope Harbor, Crossroads Mission, and
Crisis Center, who provide transitional shelter while participating in programs that promote
self sufficiency.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City of Grand Island allocated previous funds to Hope Harbor who partnered with other
services providers to implement a Project Connect Event, this acted as a one day event where
homeless and near homeless were able to locate services in one location. The City of Grand
Island works with the Local Continuum of Care and other Local non-profits to continue seeking
financial help from other State and Federal Entities. Majority of the providers who participate
in the local CoC follow the “Housing First Policy”, the group is equipped to discuss what services
are needed and which agencies can help individuals after discharge from instituions.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City does not expierience a high number of chronic homelessness compared to near
homeless. The City does participate in discussion of homelessness needs through both the
regional CoC and the local CoC group.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
The City continues to seek opportunities for public input in restrictive policeis and procedures.
The City of Grand Island has taken actions in the past to remove negative effects of public policies in
regard to the development of affordable housing including the change of subdivision regulations to
allow for narrower streets and small lots sizes, thereby reducing the cost to the developer, which could
in turn foster a reduction in cost to the potential homeowners.
In regard to the CBDG funds and future plans to remove or ameliorate barriers, the City of Grand Island
has partnered with other local housing agencies to form the Housing Improvement Partnership, this
group works within the community to aid in the goal of obtaining affordable housing.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

work with other organizations and the BUILD GI committee’s Partnership begins to grow, the
city will have a group well suited for meeting the goals by using activities which meet national
objectives and serve the needs of developing stable neighborhoods and/or addressing housing
needs of income-qualifying senior citizens.
Recently the Grand Island Area EDC And BUILD GI group were able to apply for the Nebraska
Rural Workforce Housing Funds and were able to Secure $1 million with a $1 million match

inspection on all homes built prior to 1978. Homes that were built prior to 1978 are presumed
or tested to have lead-based paint.

The City Of Grand Island did not directly operate any rehabilitation efforts spefically addressing
lead based paint issues although Owner, Occupied, rehabilitation programs did take place
during the past program year. For this reason, the Lead based Paint Guidelines which apply are
those directly related to sub-recipients of CDBG funds. The following actions are included in the
City’s Community Development Policy and Procedures Document:
“At a minimum, sub-recipient is required to:
a) Notify a purchaser or lessee of the presence of any known lead-based paint and/or; lead-
based paint hazards;
b) paint test surfaces to be disturbed or removed during rehabilitation for the presence of lead-
based paint, or presume lead-based paint and notify the occupants of the results within 15 days
of when the evaluation report is received or the presumption is made;
c) Provide each occupied dwelling unit discussed in (a) and (b) in the preceding section with the
EPA-approved lead hazard information pamphlet Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home
or EPA- approved equivalent;
d)Reduce Lead Hazards as required by the applicable subparts of Part 35(full description of Part
35 is available in the Community Development Policy and Procedures, it states the varying
levels of requirements, in relation to the level of financial assistance provided0; and
e) Perform clearance testing, including dust testing, before re-occupancy after all but minimal
(“de minimis”) amounts of paint disturbances.”
It should also be noted that the Community Development Policy and Procedures states that
“Where regulations differ, Sub-recipients are held to the stricter of the standards.”
At this point and time, the City of sees the implementation and enforcement of the above
guidelines as actively attempting to reduce Lead Based Paint Hazards.
