6.CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 134.
Consideration of a Resolution to reimburse expenditures associated with
the Lincoln Park Pool with the proceeds of bonds to be issued for the
construction of the Lincoln Pool. This resolution will permit the CRA to
use funds from the bond to pay expenses that may be incurred prior to the
issuance of the bond with the bond funds. At this time we are not
expecting to use this provision but it is prudent to allow for the possibility.
A motion for approval of Resolution No. 134 was made by Murray and
seconded by Pirnie. Upon roll call vote all present voted aye. Motion
carried unanimously.
7.CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A
REDEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AND RESOLUTION 135.

redevelopment of an area within the city limits of the City of Grand Island,
at 3420 W State Street, Grand Island, Nebraska. The CRA passed
Resolution 133 notifying City Council of their intent to enter into a
redevelopment contract at their meeting May 9, 2012. The Hall County
Regional Planning Commission met on June 6, 2012 and passed
Resolution 2012-05 finding this plan amendment is consistent with the
comprehensive development plan for the City of Grand Island. The Grand
Island City Council considered Resolution 2012-153 and approved the site
specific redevelopment plan at their meeting on June 12, 2012.
A motion to approve a Redevelopment Contract with EIG and to approve
Resolution No. 135 was made by Pirnie and seconded by Fitzke. Upon
roll call vote all present voted aye. Motion carried unanimously.

plan to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission for 709 and 715 W
18th Street. The CRA received a TIF application and staff has prepared a

area within city limits of the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska.
Items # 8 and #9 were taken together in a motion.

study to include his property at 809 S. Kimball and surrounding property
as suggested by the CRA. Mr. Fowle has contracted with Keith Marvin of
Marvin Planning Consultants to conduct the study. The findings of the
study confirm that this area does meet the requirements to be declared
blighted and substandard. A copy of the study is attached for review by
the CRA. It would be appropriate for the CRA to forward this study the
Grand Island City Council for their consideration.

July 2012
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island

the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area #6.

CAREY AND THE SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION, SITE WORK, UTILITY
IMPROVEMENTS, ENGINEERING, LANDSCAPING AND PARKING
IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY FOR REBUILDING TWO DUPLEXES AT THIS
LOCATION.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in demolition of existing structures along with
costs associated with redevelopment of this site with two new duplexes. The use of Tax
Increment Finance makes it affordable to provide additional housing in Grand Island at
this location at a contract rent that is consistent with the neighborhood. This project
would not be possible in an affordable manner without the use of TIF.
The site is owned by the developer and will be acquired for actual purchase price by a
Limited Liability Corporation owned and controlled by the developer. All site work,
demolition and utilities will be paid for by the developer. The developer is responsible
for and has provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the
costs associated with the acquisition, site work and remodeling. The Grand Island
Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes
generated over the 15 year period beginning January 1, 2013 towards the allowable costs
and associated financing for the acquisition and site work.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE ACQUISTION OF THE
PROPERTY AND RELATED SITE WORK WILL COME FROM THE
FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:

Pursuant to Section 18-2147 of the Act, any ad valorem tax levied upon real property in
the Redevelopment Project Area shall be divided, for the period not to exceed 15 years
after the effective date of the provision, which effective date shall be January 1, 2013.
a. That portion of the ad valorem tax which is produced by levy at the rate
fixed each year by or for each public body upon the redevelopment project valuation shall
be paid into the funds, of each such public body in the same proportion as all other taxes
collected by or for the bodies; and
b. That portion of the ad valorem tax on real property in the
redevelopment project in excess of such amount, if any, shall be allocated to and, when
collected, paid into a special fund of the Authority to pay the principal of; the interest on,
and any premiums due in connection with the bonds, loans, notes, or advances on money
to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, such
Authority for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a redevelopment project.
When such bonds, loans, notes, advances of money, or indebtedness including interest
and premium due have been paid, the Authority shall so notify the County Assessor and
County Treasurer and all ad valorem taxes upon real property in such redevelopment
project shall be paid into the funds of the respective public bodies.

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 32 / 79
Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on October 9, 2007.[§18-2109] Such
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment plan
amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in
the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for
the developer to acquire the necessary property and provide the necessary site work for
the construction of a permitted use on this property.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
The Redevelopment Plan for Area #6 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan does for the demolition and removal of an
existing substandard housing unit at this location. The structure to be demolished is a
vacant substandard residential structure owned by the applicant.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. All of the area
around the site in private ownership is planned for mixed-used manufacturing
development, this includes both small scale manufacturing and housing. This property is
in private ownership. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] The attached map also is an accurate
site plan of the area after redevelopment. [§18-2111(5)]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 33 / 79
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 34 / 79
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned M3-Mixed Use Manufacturing zone. No zoning changes are
anticipated with this project. No changes are anticipated in street layouts or grades. No
changes are anticipated in building codes or ordinances. Nor are any other planning
changes contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is proposing remove the existing structures from the property. The M3
zoning district allows 1 dwelling unit per 1000 square feet of property the size of each lot
is 6720 square feet; enough to legally accommodate a duplex housing unit on each lot.
The property is zoned M3 and could accommodate a building of up to 65% of the
property area; allowable coverage would be about 4,368 square feet. The proposed units
including the attached garages will cover about 2,400 square feet, well within the
allowable coverage. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this development. New water and sewer
services may be required for this building.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development.
The developer will be responsible for replacing any sidewalks damaged during
construction of the project.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 35 / 79
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This property, owned by the
developer is currently vacant, no relocation is contemplated or necessary. [§18-
2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106]
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer has purchased the property in 2006. The cost of property acquisition
$42,000 is included as a TIF eligible expense. The property will be transferred to Token
Properties, LLC for the original purchase price. Costs for demolition, site preparation,
landscaping, concrete and contingencies of $28,662 are included as a TIF eligible
expense. Engineering and design fees are estimated at $1,400 and are included as a TIF
eligible expense. Fees and reimbursement to the City and the CRA of $2750 are included
as a TIF eligible expense. Finance, interest and closing costs of $2000 are included as a
TIF eligible expense. The total of eligible expenses for this project is $76,812.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $76,812 from the proceeds of the TIF
Indebtedness issued by the Authority. This indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax
Increment Revenues generated from the project. TIF revenues shall be made available to
repay the original debt and associated interest after January 1, 2014 through December
2028.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 36 / 79
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan Amendment. This
amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, in
that it will allow for the utilization of and redevelopment of commercial lots. This will
not significantly impact traffic on at the Five Points intersection. Renovated commercial
development will raise property values and provide a stimulus to keep surrounding
properties properly maintained. This will have the intended result of preventing recurring
elements of unsafe buildings and blighting conditions.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project (including demolition, site preparation and new construction)
is anticipated to be completed between October 2012 and September of 2013. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2014 tax
year.
9. Justification of Project
This is a residential neighborhood characterized by single family dwellings on smaller
lots. The existing structure is considered badly worn by the Hall County Assessor and
has a number of safety issues that cannot be fixed without the cost of the repairs
exceeding the value of the building. The City of Grand Island is in need of additional
housing units and this development will remove one very poor housing unit and replace it
with 4 brand new units. This is infill development in an area with all city services
available. This project does not propose to tear down any buildings with historic value.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $41,244. The
proposed demolition and subsequent construction of duplexes at this location will result
in an additional $259,750 of taxable valuation based on an analysis by the Hall County
Assessor’s office. No tax shifts are anticipated from the project. The project creates
additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 37 / 79
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has
sufficient capacity to support the development. It is not anticipated that this will impact
schools. Fire and police protection are available and should not be impacted by this
development.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
The proposed facility will provide jobs for persons employed with T.C. Enck
Construction. It will have no impact on other firms locating or expanding in the area.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other employers and will result in
additional housing choices for employees within the city.
(e) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project will increase the available quality housing in Grand Island by a net of
four (4) units. The existing structure is worn out and not acceptable as a housing unit.
These types of smaller projects spread throughout the city will have a less drastic impact
on neighborhoods and schools than a centralized larger housing project.
This neighborhood has not had a great deal of new development in many years and
some newer buildings, especially ones that replace worn out buildings are likely to raise
all of the property values.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between October 1,
2012 and September 1 of 2013. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of
the property as of January 1, 2013. Excess valuation should be available for this project
for 15 years beginning in 2013 with taxes due in 2014. Excess valuation will be used to
pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per the contract between the CRA and the
developer for a period not to exceed 15 years or an amount not to exceed $76,812 the
projected amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current
tax rate. Based on the estimates of the expenses of the cost of demolition, site
preparation, engineering, expenses and fees reimbursed to the City and CRA, and
financing fees the developer will spend at least $76,812 on TIF eligible activities.

remedy such failure to perform or breach which cure or remedy shall be accomplished within a
reasonable time by the diligent pursuit of corrective action. In case such action is not taken, or
diligently pursued, or the failure to perform or breach shall not be cured or remedied within a
reasonable time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved party
may institute such proceedings as may be necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under this
Redevelopment Contract, including, but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific
performance by the party failing to perform on in breach of its obligations.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 52 / 79
Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Authority

Redevelopment Contract.
In the event of such failure to perform, breach or default occurs and is not cured in the
period herein provided, the parties agree that the damages caused to the Authority would be
difficult to determine with certainty and that a reasonable estimation of the amount of damages
that could be incurred is the amount of the grant to Redeveloper pursuant to Section 3.04 of this
Redevelopment Contract, less any reductions in the principal amount of the TIF Indebtedness,
plus interest on such amounts as provided herein (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”). The

demanding payment.

obligation to pay real estate taxes or assessments with respect to the Project.
Section 6.03 Remedies in the Event of Other Redeveloper Defaults.
In the event the Redeveloper fails to perform any other provisions of this Redevelopment
Contract (other than those specific provisions contained in Section 6.02), the Redeveloper shall
be in default. In such an instance, the Authority may seek to enforce the terms of this
Redevelopment Contract or exercise any other remedies that may be provided in this

this Section shall not give rise to a right or rescission on termination of this Redevelopment
Contract, and shall not be covered by the Liquidated Damages Amount.

of the Project, or progress in respect thereto, in the event of forced delay in the performance of
such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or
negligence, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of the
Government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes,
freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather or delays in subcontractors due to such causes;
it being the purpose and intent of this provision that in the event of the occurrence of any such
forced delay, the time or times for performance of the obligations of the Authority or of the
Redeveloper with respect to construction of the Project, as the case may be, shall be extended for
the period of the forced delay: Provided, that the party seeking the benefit of the provisions of

To:CRA Board
Re: 2012-2013 Budget
Enclosed you will find a draft of the 2012-2013 CRA Budget.
The 2012-2013 CRA Budget is presented with projected revenue from taxes of $640,000 the levy
from last year is being retained and includes about $436,000 for CRA purposes including grants,
façade improvements, committed projects and staffing as well as $204,000 for Lincoln Park Pool.
This budget does project $90,000 of revenue for property sales during the upcoming year but has
enough flexibility to accomplish all of budgeted activities without this occurrence.
Based on our recent history the budget includes $150,000 for façade improvement. I am
suggesting only $50,000 for property acquisitions. The other projects line will drop from
$100,000 to $90,000 this year this money could be shifted to property purchase, grants or façade
improvements depending on the need. Budgeting money in other projects makes it possible for
the CRA to consider purchases like heating the sheep barn at Fonner Park or helping pay for the
demolition of the Aurora Coop buildings. This is the first look you have had at the budget and I
appreciate your attention to it. Depending on the budget schedule with Council you will either
consider approval of the budget at your next regular meeting on August 8th, 2012 or we may need
to schedule a special meeting at the end of July.

Memorandum of Understanding with Chief Industries
Staff Contact: Chad Nabity
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 73 / 79
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (the “MOU” ) is made and entered
into this _____ day of July, 2012, between the City of Grand Island, NE ( the “City” ), the
Community Redevelopment Authority of the City of Grand Island, NE ( the “Authority” ) and
Chief Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
WHEREAS, the Community Development Law, Chapter 18, Article 21, Reissue
Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as amended (the “Act”), prescribes the requirements and
procedures for the Planning and implementation of Redevelopment Projects; and
WHEREAS, the Company has acquired certain real Property in the City legally
described on Exhibit A (the “Property”) which lies within an area declared blighted and
substandard by the City; and
WHEREAS, the Property lies within an area subject to a Redevelopment Plan adopted
by the Authority and approved by the City; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to demolish and remove the blighted and substandard
improvements on the Property, (the “Preliminary Activities”); and
WHEREAS, the Company intends to formulate and present a Redevelopment Plan for
the Property to the Authority, which plan shall include demolition of blighted and substandard
improvements, installation of municipal utilities including, but not limited to, a municipal water
main line, and the eventual redevelopment of certain private improvements to be identified by
the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Authority finds it in the public interest to consider a request for a grant
to be funded in part by Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to promote the development of the
Project and assist with the funding of the Preliminary Activities.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties set forth their understanding in regard to certain
actions and expenditures that the Company will make for funding Preliminary Activities prior to
Redevelopment Plan submission and approval but which Preliminary Activities shall remain
eligible for inclusion in a subsequent Redevelopment Project and Plan:
1.Definitions. Capitalized items used in this MOU shall have the meanings assigned
herein.
2.Company’s Obligations. Upon execution of this MOU, the Company may proceed with
the following actions:
a.Preliminary Activities. Upon presentation to the Authority of a Demolition Plan
identifying the existing improvements on the Property to be demolished the Company
may proceed with the demolition in accordance with the Demolition Plan.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 74 / 79
b.Redevelopment Plan and Project. The Company shall cooperate with the Authority to
prepare a Redevelopment Plan identifying a Redevelopment Project for the Property.
Such Redevelopment Plan shall include, at a minimum:
i)the demolition of the existing blighted and substandard structures;
ii)the installation of municipal utilities including, specifically, a city water main
extension to provide service to the Property; and
iii)the eventual development of the Property with private improvements.
c.Funding. Upon completion of the demolition pursuant to the Demolition Plan, the
Company shall provide the Authority an itemized list of expenditures incurred in the
demolition.
d.Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify, and hold the Authority and the
City, their employees, agents, independent contractors and consultants harmless from
and against any and all suits, claims, cost of defense, damages, injuries, liabilities,
costs and/or expenses resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with this
MOU.
3.Authority’s Obligations.
a.Funding. In order to finance in part the Preliminary Activities the Authority shall
grant to the Company up to the sum of $100,000.00 (“Grant”), provided such amount
shall not exceed the sum determined to be qualifying expenditures eligible for
reimbursement pursuant to §18-2103 (12) of the Act. Such grant shall be financed by
the issuance of TIF indebtedness to be repaid from a division of taxes pursuant to
§18-2147 (1)(b) of the Act as provided herein. The Redevelopment Plan for the
Property shall provide for the reimbursement of the Authority in an amount not to
exceed the Grant solely from excess TIF Note proceeds or excess incremental tax
revenue generated by the Project. The Redevelopment Plan and the Redevelopment
Contract shall first provide for the payment of the Company’s eligible project costs
once the Authority and/or the City approve the use of TIF for the Project, pursuant to
subsection (b) below.
b. Tax Increment Financing. The City and Authority shall consider, after appropriate
proceedings as required by law approving and implementing a Redevelopment Plan
for the Property authorizing tax increment financing for the Project to pay costs
eligible for reimbursement as Redevelopment Project costs as defined by §18-
2103(12) of the Act. The grant for Preliminary Activity qualifying expenditures as
set forth in paragraph 3a hereof, shall be payable only from Authority funds and those
funds generated by the TIF revenues on the Property divided pursuant to §18-2147(1)
(b) of the Act. After approval of a Redevelopment Plan dividing taxes on the Property
pursuant to§18-2147(1)(b) of the Act, the Authority may consider the issuance of
additional TIF indebtedness, to be purchased by the Company, the proceeds of which
shall be granted to the Company to fund remaining qualifying Preliminary Activity
expenditures, and other Redevelopment Project costs as defined by §18-2103(12) of
the Act. The Authority and City, in entering in this MOU, do not pre approve use of
TIF for the Project. The Authority and/or the City, without any liability to the
Company, may ultimately decline to utilize TIF for the Project, and if either or both
do so, the Company shall have no claim against the Authority or the City. The
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/11/2012 Page 75 / 79
Company knowingly accepts its own risk in site acquisition, demolition and site
preparation prior to the Authority’s implementation and City’s approval of the TIF
process.
c.Good Faith Meeting Schedule. The City and Authority agree to takes all reasonable
steps to establish public meeting schedules, according to law, to establish and
maintain the proposed schedule for Redevelopment Plan adoption and
Redevelopment Contract approval and other steps required by the Project.
4.Economic Feasibility. The Company hereby declares to the City and the Authority that
the Redevelopment Project for the Property, and specifically the Preliminary Activities
are not economically feasible and the Project will not occur on the Property as designed
without the use of tax increment financing as required by §18-2116(1) of the Act.. The
Company’s investment of costs of Preliminary Activities to begin the Project
development will not alter the Company’s determination, based upon its analysis of cash
flow requirements, not to implement the Project in the proposed location unless tax
increment financing is ultimately provided by the City and the Authority. Section 18-
2116(1) of the Act requires the City to make findings as follows if a TIF application
requests the use of funds as described in Section 3 above: (i) the Project would not be
economically feasible without the use of tax increment financing, and (ii) the Project
would not occur in the City without the use of tax increment financing. Due to the
proposed schedule of the Project the Company desires to begin the Project immediately
and to undertake the Preliminary Activities prior the formal submittal of a
Redevelopment Plan/ Project to the Authority and the city for approval. The purpose of
