Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area #2
August 2012
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area #2 with in the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area #2.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE RENOVATION OF THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 1135
SOUTH LOCUST STREET ALONG WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A THREE-
DWELLING UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING ON ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE
EAST FRONTING ONTO PINE STREET AND THE SUBSEQUENT SITE WORK,
UTILITY, ENGINEERING, LANDSCAPING AND PARKING IMPROVEMENTS
NECESSARY FOR THE RENOVATION AT THIS LOCATION.
The developer intends to use Tax Increment Financing to aid in renovation of the
commercial building on South Locust Street. The developer will be building a three unit
apartment building on the side of the block that is primarily residential development. The
increment from the new construction will be used to make the improvements to the
existing commercial building. This project would not be possible in an affordable manner
without the use of TIF.
The site is owned 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, 2015 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:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
This property is located just north of the Central Nebraska Health Department on the
between South Locust Avenue and Pine Street in southern Grand Island. The attached
map identifies the subject property and the surrounding land uses:

Island, Hall County Nebraska.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 42 / 191
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 43 / 191
The tax increment will be captured for the tax years the payments for which become
delinquent in years 2015 through 2029 inclusive.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The increase will come from rehabilitation of the hotel
convention center property and development of a national chain restaurant at this
location.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
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, 2014.
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.
Pursuant to Section 18-2150 of the Act, the ad valorem tax so divided is hereby pledged
to the repayment of loans or advances of money, or the incurring of any indebtedness,
whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, by the CRA to finance or refinance, in
whole or in part, the redevelopment project, including the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such bonds, loans, notes, advances, or indebtedness.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 44 / 191
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 September 13, 1999. [§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 rehabilitate an existing conforming 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 #2 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority and no additional acquisition proposed by the developer.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan amendment does not call for the demolition
and removal of any existing structures.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. The site is
planned for mixed use commercial development. [§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 - 9/19/2012 Page 45 / 191
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 46 / 191
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned B2-AC General Business zone with an Arterial Commercial Overlay
along the Locust side and R3-Medium Density Residential along the Pine Street side. 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. The proposed uses for commercial retail/office
space in the existing building and multi-family residential along Pine Street are permitted
in the current zoning districts. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is proposing rehabilitate the existing structure a conforming structure and
use in the B2-AC zoning district. The R-3 zoning district allows for the development of
1 dwelling unit for each 3000 square feet of lot space. Approximately 14,300 square feet
of the property is zoned R3 so there is sufficient property to support the development of a
3-plex. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
This site has full service to municipal utilities. No 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]
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 commercial space in poor
condition. The proposed use of this property would continue as a commercial rental
space with the addition of residential uses along the east side. No individuals or families
will be relocated as a result of this project. [§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.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 47 / 191
The developer has owned the property for since 20??. The cost of property acquisition is
not being included as a TIF eligible expense. Costs for rehabilitation of the existing
commercial structure are estimated at $150,000. Soft costs including:
Architectural/Engineering, Financing, Legal and Audit costs total $2500. Fees and
reimbursement to the City and the CRA of $6,500 are included as a TIF eligible expense.
The developer will also have costs associated with site preparation and utility connections
for the residential development. The total eligible costs will exceed $160,000.
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 $159,738 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, 2015 through December
31, 2029.
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,
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 intersection of South Locust or on Pine Street.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 48 / 191
Renovated commercial development will raise property values and provide a stimulus to
keep surrounding properties properly maintained. The development of multi-family
residential on this property is consistent with the property developed by Goodwill
Industries to the south and east of site and will provide a buffer between the commercial
space and the single family residential to the north and east. 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 January 2013 and December of 2013. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2014 tax
year.
9. Justification of Project
The South Locust Corridor is a major entrance for the City of Grand Island from
Interstate 80. The Heartland Events Center, the State Fair Park and associated buildings
and other attractions are all located along South Locust. The South Locust Business
Improvement District and City of Grand Island have spent a considerable amount of
money on landscaping and aesthetic treatments along this corridor. The City has codified
those improvements as development occurs south of the U.S. 34 and Locust. This is a
gateway to the community and for many people from outside the area is what they will
use to judge our City. Significant investments have been made by the developer in
properties along the west side of Locust and by the Central Nebraska Health Department
in their Building. Goodwill Industries has invested federal grant dollars in housing in this
neighborhood. The existing commercial building is negatively impacting the area and the
property values in the area. Renovation of this building is a significant improvement that
will increase the marketability adjoining properties and provide appropriate commercial
uses along this corridor.
Grand Island is always in need of additional quality housing units. The development of
three rental units will provide a buffer between the commercial space and the existing
single family residential. This is infill development with all necessary utilities and public
improvements needed to support the development.
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 $90,150. The
proposed renovation of the existing commercial building will result in an estimated
additional $93,600 of taxable valuation based on an analysis by the Hall County
Assessor’s office. The multi-family residential will add an additional $391,981 of
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 49 / 191
taxable valuation according to estimates provided by the Hall County Assessor’s office.
The total tax increment created by this project is $485,600. 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.
(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 by the contractors that
will be involved with the project. It will result renovated commercial space along South
Locust and additional housing units within the City.
(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 should not have any measurable negative impacts on other employers or
employees in the city. Potential positive impacts include additional housing close to the
South Locust commercial strip. This may provide quality decent housing for employees
of South Locust businesses within walking distance of work.
(e) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This will improve South Locust near the entrance to Fonner Park and the State Fair.
Grand Island is always in need of additional quality housing. These three units will
provide additional new housing near one of our major commercial strips.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between January 1,
2013 and December 31 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 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 $159,738 the projected
amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 50 / 191
Based on the estimates of the expenses of the cost of renovation, site preparation,
engineering, expenses and fees reimbursed to the City and CRA, and financing fees the
developer will spend over $160,000 on TIF eligible activities.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING REQUEST INFORMATION
Describe Amount and Purpose for Which Tax Increment Financing is
Requested:
Amount of Incremental Prospective Annual real Estate Taxes over 2011
Real Estate Taxes on the subject property for 15 years will be used to
redevelop the property.
Statement Identifying Financial Gap and Necessity for use of Tax Increment
Financing for Proposed Project: Grants for lot acquisition through Habitat
for Humanity and HUD are no longer structured for Habitat affiliates of our
size. With grants for land acquisition gone and difficulty in finding
affordable land on which to build, GIAHFH is seeking other partnerships.
Land costs, plus demo on the proposed properties is far beyond what we
can afford on our own. TIF funding for the purchase of the property allows
us to acquire not just land on which to build, but also allows us to tear
down a property that has been falling into disrepair for years. The
purchase of this property is contingent upon TIF approval. The added
value of three proposed new homes benefits the community and the
neighborhood, not to mention the low-income families who will partner on
the projects. With fewer private entities building small houses (limited/no
profit margin), Habitat fills that gap.
Municipal and Corporate References (if applicable). Please identify all
other Municipalities, and other Corporations the Applicant has been
involved with, or has completed developments in, within the last five (5)
years, providing contact person, telephone and fax numbers for each:
Since 1992, GIAHFH has completed 69 homes, 59 of which have been in
Grand Island. Another Grand Island home is currently under construction,
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 60 / 191
with two more yet to begin this year. Over $80,000 in property taxes are
paid each year on GIAHFH homes. Most of those homes stand on once
vacant lots, while a handful replaced deteriorated structures.
In 20 years, GIAHFH has partnered with various volunteer groups, sub-
contractors and suppliers, plus donors, to make safe, affordable housing a
reality for qualifying low-income households. Families selected must meet
income requirements (30-50% of median income), have the ability to pay a
no-interest home loan based on the cost to build, and contribute 500 hours
of sweat equity (including 20 hours of home-ownership education). A
thorough selection process looks at applications, tax returns, pay stubs,
debt to income, credit reports, and background reports, plus families
participate in meetings, interviews and home visits. In the last five years,
both the CRA and City of Grand Island (NSP) provided funds for
demolition of deteriorated properties or land where those properties once
stood. Both partnerships made way for Habitat home construction. The
CRA also provided water lines to an area where we completed four
homes.
IV. Please Attach Applicant’s Corporate/Business Annual Financial
Statements for the Last Three Years.
Audited financial statements are available upon request.

The budget below represents a standard three bedroom home. The number of
bedrooms is based on the number of people in the household. Since not all the
families have been selected for the proposed homes (application period opens in
December), there is the chance that one or more of the homes may need to be
larger. Costs to build would increase, as would property values on a larger home.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area #1
August 2012
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area #1 with in the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area #1.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE AT 1103 ST.
PAUL ROAD AND THE SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION, SITE WORK, UTILITY
IMPROVEMENTS, ENGINEERING, LANDSCAPING AND PARKING
IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY FOR REBUILDING THREE HOUSES 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 three new single family homes. The
use of Tax Increment Finance makes it affordable to provide additional housing in Grand
Island at this location for families that qualify to purchase a Habitat Home. This project
would not be possible in an affordable manner without the use of TIF.
Habitat for Humanity has a contract to purchase the house and adjacent vacant lots for the
assessed value of the property. All site work, demolition and utilities will be paid for by
the Habitat for Humanity, though they are requesting the CRA consider buying that
portion of the TIF debt associated with the demolition costs and fees for TIF. 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, 2014 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:

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 67 / 191
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 December 19, 2000.[§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 #1 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 to be purchased by the applicant.
c. Future Land Use Plan

around the site in private ownership is planned for low to medium density residential
development; this includes housing of densities up to 14 units per acre. 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 - 9/19/2012 Page 68 / 191
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 69 / 191
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned R4-High Density Residential 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

zoning district allows 1 dwelling unit per 1000 square feet of property the size of each lot
is approximately 7600 square feet; enough to legally accommodate a single family
housing unit on each lot. The property is zoned R4 and could accommodate a building of
up to 65% of the property area; allowable coverage would be about 4,950 square feet.
The proposed units including detached sheds will cover less than 1,200 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 - 9/19/2012 Page 70 / 191
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 a contract to purchase the property the property for $47,763. The
$47,763 is included as a TIF eligible expense. Costs for demolition, site preparation,
utilities and contingencies of $19,000 are included as a TIF eligible expense. Surveying
and Engineering fees of $1,500 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 $500 are included as a TIF eligible expense. The
total of eligible expenses for this project is $71,513.
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 $66,000 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,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 71 / 191
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. 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 November 2012 and December of 2014. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2014 tax
year. It is anticipated that 2 of the houses will be built by December 31 of 2013 and that
the 3rd house will be built in 2013.
9. Justification of Project
This is a residential neighborhood characterized by single family dwellings on smaller
lots. The existing structure is considered worn out by the Hall County Assessor’s Office.
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 3 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 $47,763. The
proposed demolition and subsequent construction of single family homes at this location
will result in approximately $190,000 of additional taxable valuation based on the current
valuation of other Habitat houses in the area. 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 - 9/19/2012 Page 72 / 191
(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 project 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
three single family homes. 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 is a neighborhood that has benefited extensively from development by the Grand
Island Habitat for Humanity Affiliate. This project will continue that investment and
commitment.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between November 15,
2012 and December 31 of 2014. 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 2014 with taxes due in 2015. 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 $66,000 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 $71,513 on TIF eligible activities.

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.
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

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

Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, in the event of any failure to perform or
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 132 / 191
breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto or
any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other,
proceed immediately to commence such actions as may be reasonably designed to cure or
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.
Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Authority
In the event that:
(a)The Redeveloper, on successor in interest, shall fail to complete the
construction of the Project on or before January 1, 2013, or shall abandon construction
work for any period of 90 days,
(b)The Redeveloper, on successor in interest, shall fail to pay real estate taxes
or assessments on the Redevelopment Area on any part thereof or payments in lieu of
taxes pursuant to Section 4.07 when due; or

such failure or action by the Redeveloper has not been cured within 30 days following
written notice from Authority, then the Redeveloper shall be in default of this
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
Liquidated Damages Amount shall be paid by Redeveloper to Authority within 30 days of
demand from Authority.
Interest shall accrue on the Liquidated Damages Amount at the rate of one percent (1%)
over the prime rate as published and modified in the Wall Street Journal from time to time and
interest shall commence from the date that the Authority gives notice to the Redeveloper
demanding payment.
Payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount shall not relieve Redeveloper of its
obligation to pay real estate taxes or assessments with respect to the Project.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 133 / 191
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
Redevelopment Contract or by applicable law; provided, however, that the default covered by
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.

Authority nor the Redeveloper, as the case may be, nor any successor in interest, shall be
considered in breach of or default in its obligations with respect to the conveyance or preparation
of the Redevelopment Area for redevelopment, or the beginning and completion of construction
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

of the same interest rate and maturity and for a like aggregate principal amount. In every case of
transfer of a Bond, the surrendered Bond shall be canceled and destroyed. All Bonds issued
upon transfer of the Bonds so surrendered shall be valid obligations of the Authority evidencing
the same obligations as the Bonds surrendered and shall be entitled to all the benefits and
protection of this Resolution to the same extent as the Bonds upon transfer of which they were
delivered. The Authority and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall not be required to transfer
any Bond during any period from any Record Date until its immediately following Interest
Payment Date or to transfer any Bond called for redemption for a period of 30 days next
preceding the date fixed for redemption.
Section 5. In the event that payments of interest due on the Bonds on an Interest Payment
Date are not timely made, such interest shall cease to be payable to the registered owners as of
the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date and shall be payable to the registered owners of
the Bonds as of a special date of record for payment of such defaulted interest as shall be
designated by the Paying Agent and Registrar whenever monies for the purpose of paying such
defaulted interest become available.
Section 6. If the date for payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds shall be a
Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the city where the
Designated Office of the Paying Agent and Registrar is located are authorized by law or
executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which
is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which such banking institutions are
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 173 / 191

authorized to close, and payment on such day shall have the same force and effect as if made on
the nominal date of payment.
Section 7. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption, in whole or in part, prior to
maturity at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of original issue thereof, at par
plus accrued interest on the principal amount redeemed to the date fixed for redemption. The
Bonds may be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption as and to the extent determined in
the Designation. The Authority may select the Bonds to be redeemed in its sole discretion but
the Bonds shall be redeemed only in amounts of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof. Bonds
redeemed in part only shall be surrendered to the Paying Agent and Registrar in exchange for
new Bonds evidencing the unredeemed principal thereof. Notice of redemption of any Bond
called for redemption shall be given at the direction of the Authority by the Paying Agent and
Registrar by mail not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, first class, postage
prepaid, sent to the registered owner of such Bond at said owner’s registered address. Such
notice shall designate the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed by maturity or otherwise, the date of
original issue and the date fixed for redemption and shall state that such Bond or Bonds are to be
presented for prepayment at the office of the Paying Agent and Registrar. In case of any Bond
partially redeemed, such notice shall specify the portion of the principal amount of such Bond to
be redeemed. No defect in the mailing of notice for any Bond shall affect the sufficiency of the
proceedings of the Authority designating the Bonds called for redemption or the effectiveness of
such call for Bonds for which notice by mail has been properly given and the Authority shall
have the right to further direct notice of redemption for any such Bond for which defective notice
has been given.

Section 9. Each of the Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Authority with the
facsimile signatures of the Chairperson and the Secretary. The Bonds shall be issued initially as
“book-entry-only” bonds under the services of The Depository Trust Company (the
“Depository”), with one typewritten bond certificate per maturity being issued to the Depository.
In such connection said officers are authorized to execute and deliver a Letter of Representations
(the “Letter of Representations”) in the form required by the Depository (which may be in the
form of a blanket letter, including any such letter previously or concurrently executed and
delivered), for and on behalf of the Authority, which shall thereafter govern matters with respect
to registration, transfer, payment and redemption of the Bonds. With respect to the issuance of
the Bonds as “book-entry-only” bonds, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) The Authority and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall have no
responsibility or obligation to any broker-dealer, bank or other financial
institution for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (each, a
“Bond Participant”) or to any person who is an actual purchaser of a Bond from a
Bond Participant while the Bonds are in book-entry form (each, a “Beneficial
Owner”) with respect to the following:
(i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, any nominees of the
Depository or any Bond Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds,
(ii) the delivery to any Bond Participant, any Beneficial Owner or
any other person, other than the Depository, of any notice with
respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or
(iii) the payment to any Bond Participant, any Beneficial Owner or
any other person, other than the Depository, of any amount with
respect to the Bonds.
The Paying Agent and Registrar shall make payments with respect to the Bonds
only to or upon the order of the Depository or its nominee, and all such payments
shall be valid and effective fully to satisfy and discharge the obligations with
respect to such Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 181 / 191
16
than the Depository shall receive an authenticated Bond, except as provided in (e)
below.
(b) Upon receipt by the Paying Agent and Registrar of written notice from the
Depository to the effect that the Depository is unable or unwilling to discharge its
responsibilities, the Paying Agent and Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange Bonds
requested by the Depository in appropriate amounts. Whenever the Depository requests
the Paying Agent and Registrar to do so, the Paying Agent and Registrar will cooperate
with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to arrange,
with the prior written consent of the Authority, for a substitute depository willing and
able upon reasonable and customary terms to maintain custody of the Bonds or (ii) to
make available Bonds registered in whatever name or names as the Beneficial Owners
transferring or exchanging such Bonds shall designate.
(c) If the Authority determines that it is desirable that certificates representing the
Bonds be delivered to the ultimate beneficial owners of the Bonds and so notifies the
Paying Agent and Registrar in writing, the Paying Agent and Registrar shall so notify the
Depository, whereupon the Depository will notify the Bond Participants of the
availability through the Depository of bond certificates representing the Bonds. In such
event, the Paying Agent and Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange bond certificates
representing the Bonds as requested by the Depository in appropriate amounts and in
authorized denominations.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so
long as any Bond is registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof, all
payments with respect to such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be
made and given, respectively, to the Depository as provided in the Letter of
Representations.
(e) Registered ownership of the Bonds may be transferred on the books of
registration maintained by the Paying Agent and Registrar, and the Bonds may be
delivered in physical form to the following:
(i) any successor securities depository or its nominee; or
(ii) any person, upon (A) the resignation of the Depository from its
functions as depository or (B) termination of the use of the
Depository pursuant to this Section.
(f) In the event of any partial redemption of a Bond unless and until such partially
redeemed Bond has been replaced in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution,
the books and records of the Paying Agent and Registrar shall govern and establish the
principal amount of such bond as is then outstanding and all of the Bonds issued to the
Depository or its nominee shall contain a legend to such effect.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 182 / 191
17
If for any reason the Depository is terminated or resigns and is not replaced, the Authority shall
immediately provide a supply of printed bond certificates for issuance upon the transfers from
the Depository and subsequent transfers or in the event of partial redemption. In the event that
such supply of certificates shall be insufficient to meet the requirements of the Paying Agent and
Registrar for issuance of replacement certificates upon transfer or partial redemption, the
Authority agrees to order printed an additional supply of such certificates and to direct their
execution by manual or facsimile signatures of its then duly qualified and acting Chairperson and
Secretary. In case any officer whose signature or facsimile thereof shall appear on any Bond
shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Bond (including such certificates
delivered to the Paying Agent and Registrar for issuance upon transfer or partial redemption),
such signature or such facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all
purposes the same as if such officer or officers had remained in office until the delivery of such
bond. The Bonds shall not be valid and binding on the Authority until authenticated by the
Paying Agent and Registrar. Thereafter the Bonds shall be delivered to the Paying Agent and
Registrar for registration and authentication. Upon execution, registration and authentication of
the Bonds, they shall be delivered to the City Treasurer, who is authorized to deliver them to
Ameritas Investment Corp., as initial purchaser thereof, upon receipt of a purchase price in the
amount of _____% of the principal amount of the Bonds (or such other purchase price as may be
determined in the Designation) plus accrued interest thereon to date of payment for the Bonds.
Said initial purchaser shall have the right to direct the registration of the Bonds and the
denominations thereof within each maturity, subject to the restrictions of this Resolution. Such
purchaser and its agents, representatives and the Authority’s bond counsel are hereby authorized
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 183 / 191
18
to take such actions on behalf of the Authority as are necessary to effectuate the closing of the
issuance and sale of the Bonds, including, without limitation, authorizing the release of the
Bonds by the Depository at closing. The officers of the Authority (or any one of them) are
hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Bond Purchase Agreement for and on behalf of the
Authority.
Section 10. The Authority’s Secretary is directed to make and certify one or more
transcripts of the proceedings of the Authority precedent to the issuance of the Bonds. One such
certified transcript shall be delivered to the original purchaser of the Bonds. All amounts received
from the sale of the Bonds shall be applied to costs of the Project upon order of the Authority.
Costs of the Project shall include but not be limited to costs incurred by the City for accomplishing
the Project.
Section 11. There is hereby ordered established and created with the Treasurer of
the City, acting as Authority’s Treasurer, a special fund and account to be designated as the “Series
2012 Bond Payment Account”. Amounts from the previously certified levy of taxes may be
deposited to the Series 2012 Bond Payment Account, to assure timely payment of the first year’s
principal and interest on the Bonds, as determined appropriate by the officers of the Authority. The
Authority hereby agrees that it will certify for levy and levy annually, in accordance with the
authorization set forth in Section 18-2107(11) of the Act, taxes on all the taxable property in the
City at a rate not to exceed 2.6¢ on each $100 of taxable valuation sufficient to provide for the
payments of principal and interest on the Bonds as the same fall due, such taxes being referred to in
this Resolution as the “Authority Taxes”. The Authority, hereby pledges the Authority Taxes for
the prompt payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds as the same fall due, in accordance
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 184 / 191
19
with and as authorized by Sections 18-2124 and 18-2130 of the Act. Amounts from the Authority
Taxes shall be deposited to the Series 2012 Bond Payment Account at such times as are required for
making the payments of principal and interest on the 2012 Bonds as the same fall due.
Section 12. The Authority reserves the right, but with no legal obligation to do so, to
provide for payments of principal and interest on the Bonds from any other available income,
including revenues from the Project, in the sole discretion of the Authority, as exercised from time
to time. The Authority hereby agrees that, so long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, it will
not issue any additional bonds, in addition to the Bonds (or bonds issued to refund the Bonds)
payable from the Authority Taxes. The Authority, further reserves the right to provide for payment
of principal and interest on the Bonds from the proceeds of refunding bonds. The Authority Taxes
extend to and include only those amounts required by this Resolution to be applied to payments of
principal and interest on the Bonds. Other amounts from the tax levy permitted to be certified by
the Authority under the terms of Section 18-2107(11) of the Act shall remain subject to the control
and use by the Authority for its programs and purposes as determined from time to time.
Section 13. The officers of the Authority, or any one or more of them, are hereby
authorized to take any and all actions, and to execute any and all documents deemed by them
necessary to effect the transactions authorized by this Resolution.
Section 14. The obligations under this Resolution with respect to the Bonds herein
authorized shall be fully discharged and satisfied as to any such Bond and any Bond shall no longer
be deemed to be outstanding hereunder if such Bond has been purchased by the Authority and
cancelled or when the payment of principal of and interest thereon to the respective date of maturity
or redemption (a) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/19/2012 Page 185 / 191
20
or (b) shall have been provided for by depositing with a national or state bank having trust powers,
or trust company, in trust, solely for such payment (i) sufficient money to make such payment
and/or (ii) direct general obligations of (including obligations issued or held in book entry form on
the books of the Department of Treasury of the United States of America) or obligations the
principal and interest of which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America
(herein referred to as “U.S. Government Obligations”) in such amount and bearing interest payable
and maturing or redeemable at stated fixed prices at the option of the holder as to principal, at such
time or times, as will ensure the availability of sufficient money to make such payments; provided,
however, that if any Bond is to be paid prior to maturity, the Authority shall have duly called such
Bond for redemption and given notice of such redemption as provided by law or made irrevocable
provision for the giving of such notice. Any money so deposited with such bank or trust company
in excess of the amount required to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds for which deposit has
been made shall be paid over to the Authority as and when collected.
Section 15. The Authority hereby agrees that continuing disclosure information
shall be provided as set forth in a resolution of the Mayor and Council of the City with respect to the
Bonds contemporaneously passed and approved with this Resolution and by reference hereby
incorporated in this Resolution.
Section 16. The Authority hereby covenants to the purchasers and holders of the
Bonds hereby authorized that it will make no use of the proceeds of said bond issue, including
monies held in any sinking fund for the payment of said bonds, which would cause said bonds to
be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of such terms as set forth in Section 141 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or “arbitrage bonds” within the

Sections 103 and 148 and all applicable regulations thereunder throughout the term of said bond

laws relating to the Bonds herein authorized the policy and procedures attached hereto as Exhibit
“A” (the “Post-Issuance Compliance Policy and Procedures”) are hereby adopted and approved in
all respects. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between the attached Post-Issuance

shall be reviewed by the Compliance Officer to ensure compliance. Bond-financed properties shall be clearly identified
(by mapping or other reasonable means). Prior to execution, the Compliance Officer (and bond counsel, if deemed
appropriate by the Compliance Officer) shall review (a) all proposed leases, contracts related to operation or
management of bond-financed property, sponsored research agreements, take-or-pay contracts or other agreements or
arrangements or proposed uses which have the potential to give any entity any special legal entitlement to the bond-
financed property, (b) all proposed agreements which would result in disposal of any bond-financed property, and (c) all
proposed uses of bond-financed property which were not anticipated at the time the bonds were issued. Such actions
could be prohibited by the Authorizing Proceedings, the Tax Documents or Federal tax law.
Continuing Disclosure. Compliance with the Continuing Disclosure Obligations with respect to each bond issue shall be
evaluated (a) to ensure timely compliance with any annual disclosure requirement, and (b) to ensure that any material
events have been properly disclosed as required by the Continuing Disclosure Obligation.
Record Keeping. If not otherwise specified in the Bond Documents, all records related to each bond issue shall be kept
for the life of the indebtedness associated with such bond issue (including all tax-exempt refundings) plus six (6) years.
Incorporation of Tax Documents. The requirements, agreements and procedures set forth in the Tax Documents, now or
hereafter in existence, are hereby incorporated into these procedures by this reference and are adopted as procedures of
the Issuer with respect to the series of bonds to which such Tax Documents relate.
Consultation Regarding Questions or Concerns. Any questions or concerns which arise as a result of any review by the
Compliance Officer shall be raised by the Compliance Officer with the Issuer’s counsel or with bond counsel to
determine whether non-compliance exists and what measures should be taken with respect to any non-compliance.

VCAP and Remedial Actions. The Issuer is aware of (a) the Voluntary Closing Agreement Program (known as
“VCAP”) operated by the Internal Revenue Service which allows issuers under certain circumstances to voluntarily enter
into a closing agreement in the event of certain non-compliance with Federal tax requirements and (b) the remedial
actions available to issuers of certain bonds under Section 1.141-12 of the Income Tax Regulations for private use of
bond financed property which was not expected at the time the bonds were issued. In general, if the Issuer identifies a
violation of Federal tax requirements in accordance with the implementation of the foregoing procedures the Issuer can
generally expect to receive more favorable treatment in resolving its tax violation under VCAP than if the Issuer had not
implemented such procedures.
