Grand Island Council Session - 2/8/2022 Page 7 / 64 1 Introduction From the Director’s Desk Library Director Celine Swan The Library’s Innovative Year The Grand Island Public Library has continued to operate during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic by being open and providing much needed services to the public. We have continued to meet the public’s needs by providing in-person, virtual, and hybrid services and programming. The future of the Library includes challenges with reduced staffing and, as a result, reduced operating hours. As patrons continue using the Library, more programming, expanded open hours including nights and weekends, and additional services will become a necessity. The Library is not just a place for books. We serve many, many patrons, and our Library and staff have evolved to serve the times. In spite of the challenges, we accomplished many things: • Replacement of an out-of-date HVAC system • Appointment of Laura Fentress as the new Youth & Family Services Librarian • Selection of a new and improved Integrated Library System and Public Catalog • Completion of the new children’s Early Liter-acy Outdoor Discovery Area • Increased social media presence • Expanded community partnerships with organizations across Grand Island and across Nebraska • Grand Island Public Library Board began working on the newest Strategic Plan 6 Technology Overhaul GIPL began a massive overhaul of technology, from catalog to computers . The first major project was a long overdue review and replacement of the Integrated Library System software and Public Catalog (see page 5). A new document scanning station was added in the fall to replace slow, outdated flatbed scanners. The new Envisionware Library Document Station scans to email, an external storage device, or cloud storage in just a few easy steps. Thanks to numerous grants, the long overdue process of replacing the public computers began. The Adult Computer Area was the first area in which new computers were added. Plans for the upcoming months include replacement of the remaining public and staff computers and upgrading the RFID security and self-checkout system with new equipment. New technology for the Library’s Makerspace area is also in the works. Tech Talk Grand Island Council Session - 2/8/2022 Page 8 / 64 Makerspace programming and activities continue to grow in popularity Catalog Migration In December 2020, a team of library staff members including Director Celine Swan, Librarian Shaun Klee, Library Assistant IIs Lori Medlin and Jeanne Simons, and Library Assistant Is Nicole Roundy and Lindsay Wassinger began exploring options to replace the previous Integrated Library System (ILS) and Public Catalog. After viewing demonstrations of many great products, the Selection Committee recommended migration from PTFS Bibliovaiton to The Library Corporation’s (TLC) Library•Solution. Migration to the new system began in Spring 2021 and was completed on August 9, 2021. Patrons and staff began using the new system the very next day, August 10. Highlights of Library•Solution include: • Text message notifications • Improved public catalog searching and experience • Integration of Overdrive titles with the catalog • Dedicated children’s catalog • Enhanced content including cover images and reviews “Every reader his or her book.” -- S.

The Utilities Department needs to acquire an easement relative to the property of Willis Storage, LLC, through a part of Lot Four (4), Westgate Industrial Park Second Subdivision, in the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska (802 Bronze Rd), in order to have access to install, upgrade, maintain, and repair power appurtenances, including lines and transformers.

Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Make a motion 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 for the acquisition of the easement for one dollar ($1.00).

Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director Grand Island Council Session - 2/8/2022 Page 20 / 64 Council Agenda Memo From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director Meeting:February 8, 2022 Subject:Consideration of Vacation of Public Utility Easement in JNW Second Subdivision; 1709 South Eddy Street (Edwards Building Corp.) Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director Background A public utility easement within JNW Second Subdivision was filed with Hall County Register of Deeds on October 29, 1999 as Document No. 0099110478. Discussion Public easements were dedicated with the original plat of JNW Second Subdivision. The current owner of the property has worked with the Planning Department through an Administrative plat to combine Lots 1 and 2 of JNW Second Subdivision into Lot 1 of Nebraska Wash Subdivision. The replat allows for construction of a new building and vacation of said easement, as sanitary sewer will only need to be provided to the one individual lot, rather than two (2) separate lots going forward. A sketch is attached to show the easement area. 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 an ordinance vacating the utility easement in JNW Second Subdivision; 1709 South Eddy Street (Edwards Building Corp.).
