review the 2009 CRA Audit and to answer questions. Galloway gave a
brief report of the Audit of the CRA. A motion was made by Gdowski to
approve the receipt of the Audit, seconded by Murray. Upon roll call all
present voted aye. Motion carried unanimously.
6.CONSIDERATION OF CONTRIBUTION REQUEST. Nabity explained the
CRA has received a request for $20,000 to assist the local complete count
committee in their efforts to promote the 2010 Census. The advertising
campaign is designed to reach all residents of Grand Island. It will
however, concentrate on those people living in 4 geographical census
tracts defined as hard to count by the U.S. Census; and on persons 60
years old and above, also a population defined as hard to count. The total
budget for the advertising campaign is estimated at $90,000 the funds
would be granted to the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce Foundation
and restricted to pay for production of advertising materials to be used in
the campaign. The remaining funds are being raised through private
donations. Ferguson also noted the importance of the 2010 Census and
the different ways they plan to advertise to reach the population in the 4
census tracts that are hard to reach. If Grand Island’s population reaches
50,000 they could qualify for additional monies from federal funding, which
means Grand Island wouldn’t have to compete for state dollars from other
small cities such as Kearney and Wahoo. Additional discussion followed.
A motion was made by Gdowski to approve the 2010 campaign request for
$20,000, seconded by Murray. Upon roll call vote two present voted aye
and one member voted no. Motion carried.

intent to enter into a redevelopment contract at their meeting on December
14, 2009. The Hall County Regional Planning Commission met on January

is consistent with the comprehensive development plan for the City of
Grand Island. The Grand Island City Council passed Resolution 2010-29
approving the redevelopment plan at their meeting on January 26, 2010.
Motion was made by Murray and seconded by Gdowski. Upon roll call
vote all present voted aye. Motion varied unanimously to approve the

line. Upon roll call vote all present voted aye. Motion carried unanimously
