Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:March 14, 2023
Subject:Change of Zoning from RD Residential Development
Zone and CD Commercial Development Zone to
Amended RD Residential Development Zone and
Amended CD Commercial Development Zone and B2
General Business
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
Innate Development the owners of 200 acres located north of Husker Highway and west
of Prairieview Street, are requesting that amendments to their RD and CD zones are
approved along with a change for a small portion of the property to B2 General Business.
The proposal is to build 150 units of three story apartments in 10 unit buildings along
with 4 carriage house apartments the Residential Development portion of this property. In
the Commercial Development Zone that will have one building on each lot that will
provide for neighborhood commercial services and office space. Plans for the commercial
node include a sports bar, ice cream shop and coffee house. The very southeast lot at
Husker Highway and Prairieview Street is proposed a B2 General Business and they are
proposing that a hotel would be built on that lot. A preliminary plat for the whole
development was approved in 2021. This is a replat of the second subdivision approved
in October 2022 with 20.109 acres and 23 lots and 10 outlots. Legacy 34 presents a more
complete vision of the development with 20.109 acres 28 lots and 10 outlots. This final
plat is also included for approval.
Discussion
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held September 7, 2022
the above item was considered following a public hearing.

about 4 months ago. The request would rezone property from CD Commercial
Development Zone and RD Residential Development Zone to an amended CD
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 9 / 199
Commercial Development Zone and RD Residential Development Zone and B2
General Business. The proposed changes are generally minor modifications to the
development plan with more specific details about the size and placement of the
proposed commercial buildings with the CD Zone. Nabity also mentioned another
proposed change to B2 General Business is the located at the southeast corner for
a proposed hotel. Nabity stated the proposed changes are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and recommending approval.
O’Neill closed the public hearing.

Agenda Item #6
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
February 20, 2023
SUBJECT:Zoning Change (C-15-23GI)
PROPOSAL:An application has been made to rezone 20.109 acres of property
proposed for platting as part of the Legacy 34 development located west of Prairie View
Street and north of Husker Highway from RD Residential Development Zone and CD
Commercial Development Zone to amended RD Residential Development Zone and
amended CD Commercial Development Zone and B2 General Business. The
developers are proposing to build fifteen apartment buildings (150 units) on the property
with buildings as shown on the attached plans, four carriage houses and seven
commercial buildings including a civic center to support the neighborhood. This is the
second change of several that are proposed for the full 200 acre site as shown with the
preliminary plat for the whole property.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation:RD- Residential Development Zone
CD- Commercial Development Zone
Permitted and conditional uses:Approve development plan for RD and CD
Zones: The current plan called for fifteen 10 unit
apartment buildings and 4 carriage houses and
4 commercial buildings. The proposed plan
maintains the same number of residential units
in the same general locations but amends the
building envelopes to encompass all of the
architectural projections from the buildings
within those envelopes. The majority of the
parking is included in the RD zone even that
intended to serve the CD zone. The number of
commercial buildings is changing from 4 to 7.
The general location of the buildings is not
changing but they have more detail
Comprehensive Plan Designation:Mixed Use Commercial
Existing land uses.Vacant Undeveloped Property
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 11 / 199
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations:North: R2- Low Density Residential Zone
East: B2 General Business Zone and RD
Residential Development Zone
West: RD Residential Development Zone
South: TA Transitional Agricultural Zone and RO
Residential Office Zone
Permitted and conditional uses:R2- Residential uses with a density of 1 unit per
6,000 square feet of property. Minimum lot size of
6,000 square feet. Churches, schools, parks are
permitted in this zoning district
RD- Residential uses as approved by the submitted
plan with density up to 42 units per acre.
Churches, schools, parks and retirement facilities
are also permitted in this district. Can allow more
than one principle use per lot and development of
private streets and utilities.
TA - Permits both farm and non-farm dwellings at a
maximum density of two dwelling units per acre, as
well as other open space and recreational activities.
The intent of the zoning district also would allow the
raising of livestock to a limit and within certain
density requirements.
B2 - The intent of this zoning district is to provide
for the service, retail and wholesale needs of the
general community. This zoning district will contain
uses that have users and traffic from all areas of
the community and trade areas, and therefore will
have close proximity to the major traffic corridors of
the City. Residential uses are permitted at the
density of the (R-4) High Density Residential
Zoning District.
RO: The intent of this zoning district is to provide
the highest density of residential uses as well as for
various office, personal services and professional
uses. This zoning district is also used as a
transitional zone between lower density residential
zones and business or manufacturing zones.
Comprehensive Plan Designation:West, East, South and North: Mixed Use
Commercial
Existing land uses:North: Agricultural/ Vacant
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 12 / 199
South: Agricultural/Lake/Tabitha
East: Multifamily Residential and Commercial Lots
some are developed some are vacant.
West: Multi-Family Residential and vacant property
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
In conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: This particular site is
designated for mixed use commercial uses within the plan. This would typically be a
combination of commercial and multi-family residential.
New Housing Choices in Southwestern Grand Island: Most of the new construction
in Grand Island occurs in the northwest part of the city. This proposed development
would build 154 new units in the southwestern part of the city.
Infill Development: Most of the existing infrastructure is in place to support this
development. Sewer and water are available. The developer is proposing a
combination of private and public streets to support this development.
Provides Housing for Grand Island Residents and potential workers near the newly
developed Hospital.
Develops a neighborhood commercial node to support this development and the
hospital development to the south.
Negative Implications:
None foreseen. This request does not materially change what has already been
approved for the site. The proposed changes are generally minor modifications to
the development plan with more specific details about the size and placement of
the proposed commercial buildings with the CD Zone. The B2 zone in the
southeast corner does gives the developer additional flexibility for the location of
buildings but the uses would be consistent with the CD and RD zones.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City
Council change the zoning on this site approve the amended RD-Residential
Development Zone and amended CD Commercial Development Zone along with the
B2 General Business Zone.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:March 14, 2023
Subject:Receipt of Official Document – Tort Claim filed by
Petersen Farms Inc.
Presenter(s):Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Background
The City of Grand Island has received a Notice of Tort Claim from Petersen Farms Inc.
alleging certain claims for an incident in which occurred between the Spring of 2022 and
November of 2022. Petersen Farms began experiencing adverse impacts to numerous
irrigation wells during the 2022 irrigation season. Petersen Farms claims the dewatering
efforts conducted by the City significantly decreased the groundwater levels in the area
immediately adjacent to the dewatering operations, and lowered water levels in the
vicinity of numerous Petersen Farms wells. This resulted in the damages summarized in
this letter and may continue to impact groundwater levels. A copy of the claim is
attached.
For a person to assert a tort claim against the City of Grand Island, a written notice of the
claim must be filed with the City Clerk, Secretary or other official responsible for
keeping official records. The claim must be filed within one year of the accrual of the
claim, and the Council has six months to act on the claim. No suit can be filed until after
the Council acts on the claim, or the six months has run.
Historically, the City of Grand Island has simply let the six months run. Not all claims
result in a suit being filed, so it makes good sense to not act affirmatively in many
instances. In any event, if you wish to look further into this claim, please contact the City
Attorney’s office, and we will provide you with any additional information we may have
regarding the claim. Our recommendation is to continue to take no affirmative action on
tort claims. It must be emphasized that by providing copies of alleged claims to you, we
are not making an admission or representation that a claim has been properly filed in any
respect. We also recommend that no comments concerning a particular claim be made
during Council meetings, unless you decide to bring the matter on for formal
consideration. Even then, we ask that comments be carefully considered so that the legal
rights of all parties are preserved.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 70 / 199
Discussion
This is not an item for council action other than to simply acknowledge that the claim has
been received.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council take no action other than acknowledge
receipt of the claim.

Regional Airport Sanitary Sewer Collection System Rehabilitation;
Project No. 2017-S-4

Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 121 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Meeting:March 14, 2023
Subject:Approving Change Order No. 3 for Central Nebraska
Regional Airport Sanitary Sewer Collection System
Rehabilitation; Project No. 2017-S-4
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
This project is for the construction of a new sanitary sewer collection system, force main
system and lift station at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport. This project includes
building over two (2) miles of new sanitary sewer gravity collection system, thirty-six
(36) new manholes, two (2) miles of force main and a new 282-gpm pump station to
transport wastewater back to the existing City collection system near the southwest
corner of the airport property. The original engineer’s estimate for the project was
$8,971,350.00. Four (4) bids were received; $6,130,000.00, $6,247,170.00,
$9,975,264.56, and $10,226,495.00, from low to high respectively. S.J. Louis
Construction, Inc. of Rockville, Minnesota was awarded a $6,130,000.00 contract on
November 9, 2021, via Resolution No. 2021-321, for the Central Nebraska Regional
Airport Sanitary Sewer Collection System Rehabilitation; Project No. 2017-S-4.
On May 24, 2022, via Resolution No. 2022-139 City Council approved Change Order
No. 1 for the Central Nebraska Regional Airport Sanitary Sewer Collection System
Rehabilitation; Project No. 2017-S-4 to address the need for additional 10” PVC sanitary
sewer pipe to make future expansion less disruptive and not as close to the proposed lift
station, the addition of several manholes due to a condition in the field that was not
discovered during design, and the option of using high early concrete pavement repair
that would allow the pavement to be driven on sooner. The cost associated with Change
Order No. 1 was a total of $64,994.50, resulting in a revised contract amount of
$6,194,994.50.
On July 26, 2022, via Resolution No. 2022-188, City Council approved Change Order
No. 2 for the Central Nebraska Regional Airport Sanitary Sewer Collection System
Rehabilitation; Project No. 2017-S-4 to address removal and replacement of storm sewer
pipe, as the deteriorated condition prevents the reinstallation of such; removal and
reinstallation of security fencing in accordance with Airport Authority requirements; and
additional work necessary to remove and replace existing pavement which is in excess of
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 122 / 199
8-inches in thickness. The cost associated with Change Order No. 2 was a total of
$133,907.22, resulting in a revised contract amount of $6,328,901.72.
Discussion
Change Order No. 3 for the Central Nebraska Regional Airport Sanitary Sewer
Collection System Rehabilitation; Project No. 2017-S-4 is requested to address multiple
issues encountered during construction. Most of the need for these changes stem from the
airport infrastructure being very old and that the existing infrastructure was not
documented correctly. Due to this fact, the majority of the items in this change order
could not be properly verified or discovered until excavation occurred. These items
include issues such as the following:
Additional storm sewer pipe reconstruction found during excavation
Measures to avoid harming existing utilities not noted on the original design plans
resulting in loss of production efficiency
Mitigation needed when 10 unknown water services were discovered while
excavating for proposed sewer main
Rerouting of a proposed sewer service due to existing water main being closer to
proposed new service than allowed by 10 State Standards
Raise existing water main to acquire needed vertical separation between water
and sewer main
Build new 2” force main for existing grinder pump service found to be
discharging into existing force main that will be abandoned with project
Reconstructing existing fire hydrant that was documented to be different than
found during excavation to gain proper clearance
Reconnection of tower and terminal services to proposed main as they were not
documented correctly which requires extra work to change
Reconnection of north building area services as they were found to be different
than documented when excavated
Depth of a building service deeper than figured originally which requires
additional service replacement to reconnect
Rectify quantities in the existing contract at the time of bidding. This item, which
amounts to approximately $292,000.00, accounts for changes in existing bid
quantities from the existing contract utilizing unit bid prices. The biggest change
is due to pavement removal and replacement being higher than in the original
contract due to constructability, continuity and to account for some field changes
of alignment.
The cost associated with Change Order No. 3 is a total of $924,778.89, resulting in a
revised contract amount of $7,253,680.61, $1,717,669.39 below the engineer’s estimate.
Additional time is also requested to address the issues encountered. The original
substantial completion date is requested to move from April 14, 2023 to May 23, 2023,
with the final completion date to move from May 16, 2023 to June 24, 2023.

Item G-9
#2023-63 - Approving Purchase of a 2023 Service Truck for Water
Distribution Department
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 131 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:March 14, 2023
Subject:Approving Purchase of a 2023 Service Truck for Water
Distribution Department
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Water Distribution Department has a fleet of eight service trucks used to move
personnel and equipment to repair water mains, maintain fire hydrants, maintain line
valves, locate water lines, install water meters, and remove snow. These trucks are used
throughout the city and must be available 24/7 in all types of weather. The average age of
the eight trucks is 8.8 years with the newest being 4 years and the oldest 16 years. Water
Department management developed a replacement program for all equipment that is
reviewed each year to ensure equipment used by the Water Shop is ready to use when
needed. The oldest truck of 16 years is past its useful life and will be replaced with this
new truck.
Discussion
To ensure reliability, and readiness 24/7 for repairs to the water distribution system, a
service truck was budgeted for FY 2022-2023. Using State Contract #15727 allows for a
discounted purchase of a 2023 Ford F150 service truck, for a total cost of $41,979.00.
Utilities Department staff is recommending the purchase of the 2023 Ford F150 from
Anderson Auto Group of Lincoln, NE in the amount of $41,979.00. An amount of
$50,000.00 was approved in the FY 2022-2023 budget for this purchase.
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

#2023-64 - Appointment of City's Representative at the Nebraska
Municipal Power Pool
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 135 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Meeting:March 14, 2023
Subject:Appointment of City’s Representatives at the Nebraska
Municipal Power Pool
Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Grand Island has been a member of the Nebraska Municipal Power Pool (NMPP) since it
was formed in 1975. The primary goal of the organization is to develop means by which
the state’s municipal electric utilities could cooperate in developing electric power
supply. That organization has since grown to include nearly 200 municipal electric
utilities not only in Nebraska, but also from Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota, Wyoming,
and Iowa, and has also expanded its scope of services to include wholesale power supply,
transmissions services, power marketing, natural gas supply, load aggregation and bulk
purchasing, computer programming services and other services specifically designed to
serve municipal utilities. NMPP is also the parent company of the Municipal Energy
Agency of Nebraska (MEAN), which is one of our partners in the Public Power
Generating Agency (PPGA), the interlocal agency created for the Whelan Energy Center
Unit 2 power plant in Hastings. Grand Island was a charter member of NMPP and has
had a representative on the Board of Directors since the organization’s creation. I have
served as the City of Grand Island’s representative since 2011.
Discussion
With my retirement in April, I will no longer be available to represent the City at that
organization. NMPP is requesting that Grand Island continue its participation in NMPP
and formally appoint a replacement and alternate representative. It is recommended that
Assistant Utilities Director Travis Burdett, the current alternate representative, be
designated as the replacement representative to the Nebraska Municipal Power Pool. It is
also recommended that Assistant Utilities Director Lynn Mayhew be designated as the
alternate representative. After my retirement, Mr. Burdett and Mr. Mayhew will be the
longest serving senior managers in the Department. Mr. Burdett and Mr. Mayhew both
have the specific experience and knowledge to best serve Grand Island as the City’s
representatives at NMPP.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 136 / 199
NMPP bylaws require the appointment of representatives to be done by the represented
city’s governing board, therefore, these recommended appointments are submitted to the
City Council for their consideration.
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 appoint Travis Burdett as the
representative, and Lynn Mayhew as the alternate representative, for the City of Grand
Island at the Nebraska Municipal Power Pool.
Sample Motion
Move to approve appointment of Travis Burdett as the representative, and Lynn Mayhew
as the alternate representative, for the City of Grand Island at the Nebraska Municipal
Power Pool.

#2023-65 - Approving Engineering Services for Electric System
Master Plan
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 139 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Meeting:March 14, 2023
Subject:Approving Engineering Services for Electric System
Master Plan
Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The City of Grand Island electric system requires continual planning and upgrades to
adequately and reliably serve its customers and meet increasing load. Most of this
planning is performed in-house. It is considered good practice to occasionally get an
outside perspective on current system conditions and upgrade plans. The last full master
plan was completed in 2015. Due to a number of emerging technologies including
distributed energy resources and electric vehicles as well as challenges such as substation
security, it is appropriate to have an outside consultant take a fresh look at the system.
Discussion
The Request for Proposals was advertised in accordance with City procurement
procedures and three proposals were received from the following consultants.
Olsson, Grand Island, NE
Sargent & Lundy, Chicago, IL
Larsen & Toubro LTD, Fairfield, CA
An evaluation team evaluated the proposals based on the specified criteria. The team
ranked the proposals based upon the total score and recommend that the proposal from
Sargent & Lundy be accepted for the Electric System Master Plan. The proposal from
Sargent & Lundy includes a detailed estimated activity pricing breakdown which will
be billed at actual cost, for a not-to-exceed total price of $132,000.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 140 / 199

2. Refer the issue to a Committee

Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the Electric System Master
Plan proposal from Sargent & Lundy of Chicago, IL, to be billed at actual cost, for a
not-to-exceed price of $132,000.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with
Sargent & Lundy of Chicago, IL, for Electric System Master Plan to be billed at actual cost,
for a not-to-exceed price of $132,000.

#2023-69 - Approving FY24 Community Project Funding Grant
Request for P25 Radio System
Staff Contact: Jon Rosenlund
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 177 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Libby Finochiaro, Grants Administrator
Meeting:March 14, 2023
Subject:Community Project Fund Request for P25 Radio System
Presenter(s):Jon Rosenlund, Grand Island-Hall County Emergency
Management
Chief Kevin Denney, Grand Island Police Department
Background
Grand Island-Hall County Emergency Management in conjunction with the Police
Department is requesting to apply to the FY24 Community Project Fund to purchase and
install two ASR tower sites and nine consoles in the Emergency Operations Center and
seventy-five (75) P25 multi-band radios for the Police Department. The purchase of this
equipment will allow the City of Grand Island to connect to the Statewide Radio System
and communicate with our partners who have already switched over to the P25 system.
Our Community Project Fund request will go to Congressman Adrian Smith. Selected
projects will be presented to the federal appropriations committee for funding under
specific federal agencies. We are requesting $3 million in funding from the Department
of Homeland Security toward the purchase of the two ASR tower sites and the
installation of nine consoles at the EOC. This grant requires a 25% match that will be
split between the City of Grand Island and Hall County 50/50 per an already existing
interlocal agreement. The cities portion of this project would total approximately
$375,000, with $2.25 million coming from the grant and $375,000 from Hall County.
We are also requesting $550,000 in funding from the Department of Justice toward the
purchase of seventy-five P25 multi-band radios. This grant requires a 25% match. The
cities portion of this project would total approximately $137,500, with $412,500 coming
from the grant.
A copy of the grant applications has been included with this packet for your review.
Discussion
At the 01/24/2023 council meeting, council approved Grand Island Police Department to
purchase seventy-five P25 multi-band radios due to safety concerns and lack of
interoperability of the current system with our partner organizations. In the same meeting,
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 178 / 199
Grand Island Fire Department received approval to apply to the FY23 Assistance to
Firefighters Grant for the purchase of seventy P25 multi-band radios for their department.
The purchase and installation of two ASR tower sites and nine consoles for the
Emergency Operations Center will provide full functionality to our P25 radio system and
complete our conversion to a multi-band system.
If selected for funding, this generous opportunity would provide a critical $2.25 million
of this $3 million project. There is a 25% match for this grant, amounting to $750,000.
The City of Grand Island and Hall County have an existing interlocal agreement where
each entity would pay for 50% of the grant match, amounting to $375,000 for the City of
Grand Island. The purchases would be budgeted for in the FY24 budget.
There is an expected cost savings benefit of $19,140 annually with the purchase of this
equipment. The State of Nebraska charges a fee of $132 per radio to patch onto the
Statewide Radio System. Council has approved of the purchase of 145 radios that will
need to be patched into the state system if we choose not to upgrade our towers and
consoles. This savings benefit will increase if more radios are purchased for additional
staff.
We are also requesting $550,000 in funding from the Department of Justice toward the
purchase seventy-five P25 multi-band radios. This grant requires a 25% match. The cities
portion of this project would total approximately $137,500, with $412,500 coming from
the grant.
The purchase of this equipment is essential to completing our conversion to a multi-band
radio system. It will improve safety for our staff and our community, reducing barriers to
interoperability with our responding partners and improving efficiency in daily operations
among our staff.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve the submittal of a grant application.
2.Take no action.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council authorizes the submittal of the FY24
Community Project Fund applications and $512,500 ($375,000 EOC and $137,500 Police
Department) match for the purchase of two ASR towers, nine consoles, and seventy-five
P25 radios.
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 179 / 199
Sample Motion
Move to authorize the submittal of the FY24 Community Project Fund applications and
$512,500 ($375,000 EOC and $137,500 Police Department) match for the purchase of
two ASR towers, nine consoles, and seventy-five P25 radios.

2)Eligible Account
Federal Assistance – Emergency Operations Centers
3)Legal Name of Organization to Receive Funds
Grand Island-Hall County Emergency Management Department
4)Location of Project
Grand Island and Hall County, NE
5)Project Description
Grand Island Council Session - 3/14/2023 Page 181 / 199
The Grand Island – Hall County Emergency Management Department fills the role of emergency
management and 911 communications for Hall County, NE and is the primary owner and maintenance
organization for the public safety radio system in Hall County. The City and County seek to install a P25
Radio system in our EOC to serve the needs of all public safety agencies inside Hall County. This includes
the installation of two (2) ASR Tower sites and the installation of 9 consoles in the Grand Island Emergency
Operations Center. This is the critical infrastructure for the County-wide P25 Radio system and will be
maintained by the Emergency Management Department. Cost for the P25 capable consoles is $2.0 million
and cost for two ASR Tower sites is $1 million. This new system would be capable of connecting to the
Statewide Radio System as well as neighboring Buffalo County’s P25 system, providing full integration and
seamless radio access to State and local responders.
6)Overall Cost of Project
$3.0 Million
7)Amount Requested
$2.25 Million
8)Does this account have a local match requirement? How will this match be met?
Yes, the match is 25% and equals approximately $750,000. This will be met through the Interlocal
Agreement between City of Grand Island and Hall County that funds the Emergency Management
Department.
9)If this project is funded, how much of the requested amount would be spent in FY24?
100%
10)Justification for the project
The purchase of the two ASR Tower Sites and nine consoles will allow our EOC to seamlessly communicate
over a digital trunked radio system with responders throughout Nebraska. It removes interoperability barriers
like radio band or frequency between our local and State responders. It provides direct interface between the
EOC and our Incident Commanders, more effectively supporting incidents like the 2019 floods and special
events such as the Nebraska State Fair. This project allows us to patch disparate systems together to bridge gaps
that may remain between partners.
The lack of interoperability of our current system is putting our entire staff and community at risk during
responses with other jurisdictions. Grand Island Fire Department is a member of the Platte River Valley Mutual
Aid District, providing mutual aid to surrounding communities. GIFD and GIPD regularly work alongside the
Nebraska State Patrol and local sheriff’s offices. Our staff are at risk during our mutual aid operations due to
our inability to communicate directly with our partners. The replacement of this equipment is an urgent issue
and without this grant funding, our community will be faced with significantly cutting staff or services to make
the purchase.
11)How will this project benefit the Third District of Nebraska?
Hall County is the largest county in the District, and Grand Island is the largest municipality. This area also
serves as an anchor in the Third District for economic and tourism interests. Emergency response agencies in
Hall County cooperate routinely with neighboring jurisdictions as well as the State of Nebraska on issues of
public safety. The ability to communicate with agencies such as the State Patrol and neighboring agencies who
are already on a P25 radio system will help overcome serious interoperability challenges. This will also allow
Hall County to collaborate directly with existing P25 systems in Buffalo County and the Statewide Radio
System by Memorandum of Agreement, thus providing a more seamless communications infrastructure for
State, county and municipal agencies.
12)Have you submitted a CFP request for this project to other offices?
No

9)If this project is funded, how much of the requested amount would be spent in FY24?
100%
10)Justification for the project
The purchase of P25 capable radios will allow the Grand Island Police Department to have seamless and
interoperable radio communication capabilities within Hall County as they migrate to a P25 digital trunked
radio system, as well as collaborate with other P25 systems throughout the State of Nebraska, including the
Nebraska State Patrol and neighboring Buffalo County, which already have P25 system.
11)How will this project benefit the Third District of Nebraska?
Grand Island is the largest city within the Nebraska Third District with a population over 50,000 and
participates in a number of regional partnerships such as SCALES, the South Central Planning Exercise and
Training Region, and cooperative efforts to share sensitive law enforcement intelligence with one another. This
project will allow GIPD to have seamless communication capabilities with not only other P25 systems in the
Region or State, but also the ability to speak on other “legacy” systems such as UHF and VHF analogue system.
Thus the GIPD could have interoperable radio communications with any local jurisdiction in the Third District
and provide life-saving assistance in mutual aid, disaster or special event response.
12)Have you submitted a CFP request for this project to other offices?
No
13)Did your organization receive CFP funding in FY22 or FY23?
No

Discussion
It is being proposed at this time to enter into the FY 2023/2024 option available in the
contract on a month-to-month basis. The City of Grand Island would give Senior Citizens
Industries, Inc. a minimum of 90-day notice before the end of service provision.
Additionally, Senior Citizens Industries, Inc. has requested a contract amendment for
both FY 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 for provision of services in the Urbanized Area of
Grand Island. The request for the remainder of FY 2022/2023 (March 1, 2023- June 30,
2023) results in an increase of $295,885.00, for a revised total amount of $1,231,857.27.
FY 2023/2024 (July 1, 2023- June 30, 2024) results in an increase of $719,971.43, for a
revised total amount of $1,504,691.00. The FY 2023/2024 change to contract price would
be administered on a monthly basis instead of an annual basis.
Senior Citizens Industries, Inc. (SCI) cites two (2) major reasons for their request; overall
inflation and a 46% increase in ridership during the first six (6) months of FY 2022/2023
compared to the same period last year. Per SCI, ridership alone has increased their
average hours worked per pay period by 17%. It is also noted that fuel, maintenance, and
administrative costs have risen accordingly.
This budget amendment will not advance any funds to Senior Citizens Industries, Inc., it
will simply allow the budget authority should the increased ridership and associated costs
continue to trend upward. Acquisition of capital equipment remains difficult, and it is
anticipated that ridership will not continue to grow at previous rates due to this hindrance.
The City will work closely with SCI to remain in budget as capital equipment is
delivered.
No additional City funding will need to be allocated for the FY 2022/2023 budget
amendment, as CARES funding will be used to cover the associated expenses. CARES
reimburses operational expenses at 100%. The FY 2023/2024 City match will be
presented in the budget proposal for that fiscal year, with CARES funding being an
option for aiding in reimbursement.
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

Attorney
Background
City Administration presented its recommendation to Council for the allocation of the
remaining American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds of approximately $5,500,000 on
January 24, 2023. The Administration’s recommendation was to allocate all of the ARPA
funds to the $5,500,000 financial commitment of the City to the funding of public
infrastructure improvements within the Conestoga Marketplace redevelopment area.
On February 28, 2023, the Council heard a presentation from Central Community
College about the planned improvements to its Grand Island campus and a request that
the City contribute $550,000 to the public infrastructure improvements that will be made
to the campus.
Discussion
Based on the discussion by Council following the two presentations referenced above,
City Administration has prepared a proposed resolution allocating $5,000,000 of the
remaining ARPA funds to Woodsonia Hwy 281 LLC’s Conestoga Marketplace
infrastructure reimbursements and $500,000 of the remaining ARPA funds to Central
Community College’s infrastructure improvements on its Grand Island Campus. Any
funds not spent on the two infrastructure projects would be allocated to the General Fund
for operations. The ARPA funds must be allocated to eligible projects no later than
December 31, 2024 and disbursed by December 31, 2026.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
