Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity, Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Josh Rhoads Study (Proposed Area #32)
C-16-2021GI
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, Regional Planning Commission
Background
Josh Rhoads has commissioned a Blight and Substandard Study for Proposed
Redevelopment Area No. 32. This study is approximately 43 acres of property located
west of North Road and including property both north and south of Old Potash Highway
in western Grand Island (See the attached map) On May 11, 2021, Council referred the
attached study to the Planning Commission for its review and recommendation. The
study as prepared and submitted indicates that this property could be considered blighted
and substandard. The full study is attached for your review and consideration.
The decision on whether to declare an area substandard and blighted is entirely within the
jurisdiction of the City Council.
Discussion
The Statutory authority and direction to the Planning Commission is referenced below to
explain the Planning Commission purpose in reviewing the study:
18-2109. Redevelopment plan; preparation; requirements; planning commission or
board; public hearing; notice; governing body; public hearing; notice.
(1) An authority shall not prepare a redevelopment plan for a redevelopment project area
unless the governing body of the city in which such area is located has, by resolution adopted
after the public hearings required under this section, declared such area to be a substandard
and blighted area in need of redevelopment.
(2) Prior to making such declaration, the governing body of the city shall conduct or
cause to be conducted a study or an analysis on whether the area is substandard and blighted
and shall submit the question of whether such area is substandard and blighted to the planning
commission or board of the city for its review and recommendation. The planning
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 4 / 358
commission or board shall hold a public hearing on the question after giving notice of the
hearing as provided in section 18-2115.01. Such notice shall include a map of sufficient size
to show the area to be declared substandard and blighted or information on where to find such
map and shall provide information on where to find copies of the substandard and blighted
study or analysis conducted pursuant to this subsection. The planning commission or board
shall submit its written recommendations to the governing body of the city within thirty days
after the public hearing.
(3) Upon receipt of the recommendations of the planning commission or board, or if no
recommendations are received within thirty days after the public hearing required under
subsection (2) of this section, the governing body shall hold a public hearing on the question
of whether the area is substandard and blighted after giving notice of the hearing as provided
in section 18-2115.01. Such notice shall include a map of sufficient size to show the area to
be declared substandard and blighted or information on where to find such map and shall
provide information on where to find copies of the substandard and blighted study or analysis
conducted pursuant to subsection (2) of this section. At the public hearing, all interested
parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to express their views respecting the
proposed declaration. After such hearing, the governing body of the city may make its
declaration.
(4) Copies of each substandard and blighted study or analysis conducted pursuant to
subsection (2) of this section shall be posted on the city’s public web site or made available
for public inspection at a location designated by the city.
~Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska 7-19-18
A flow chart of the blight declaration process is shown in Figure 2.
At this time, the Council is only concerned with determining if the property is blighted
and substandard. Figure 3 is an overview of the differences between the blight and
substandard declaration and the redevelopment plan. If a declaration as blighted and
substandard is made by Council then the Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA)
can consider appropriate redevelopment plans. The redevelopment plans must also be
reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by Council prior to final approval.
The City of Grand Island, as a City of the First Class, is permitted to designate an area of
up to 35% of the municipal limits as blighted and substandard. As of May 25, 2021,
22.74% of the City has been declared blighted and substandard. Proposed Area 32 would
add 43 acres (0.23%) bringing total to 22.96%. This study for area 33 would add 205
acres or 1.05%. The total area declared blighted and substandard if both areas 32 and 33
are approved is 24.02%.

It is appropriate for the Council in conducting its review and considering its decision
regarding the substandard and blighted designation to:
1.Review the study,
2.Take testimony from interested parties,
3.Review the recommendation and findings of fact identified by the Planning
Commission (Planning Commission did not identify any findings with their
motion so none are available.)
4.Make findings of fact, and
5.Include those findings of fact as part of its motion to approve or deny the request
to declare this area blighted and substandard. Council can make any findings they
choose regarding the study and the information presented during the public
hearing to support the decision of the Council members regarding this matter.
Blighted and Substandard Defined
The terms blighted and substandard have very specific meanings within the context of the
Community Redevelopment Statutes. Those terms as defined by Statute are included
below:
Section 18-2103
Terms, defined.
For purposes of the Community Development Law, unless the context otherwise
requires:
(3) Blighted area means an area (a) which, by reason of the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, existence of defective or inadequate street
layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness, insanitary or
unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other improvements, diversity of ownership, tax or
special assessment delinquency exceeding the fair value of the land, defective or unusual
conditions of title, improper subdivision or obsolete platting, or the existence of conditions
which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors,
substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community, retards the provision of
housing accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in which
there is at least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the designated area is at
least one hundred twenty percent of the state or national average; (ii) the average age of the
residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years; (iii) more than half of the
plotted and subdivided property in an area is unimproved land that has been within the city
for forty years and has remained unimproved during that time; (iv) the per capita income of
the area is lower than the average per capita income of the city or village in which the area is
designated; or (v) the area has had either stable or decreasing population based on the last two
decennial censuses. In no event shall a city of the metropolitan, primary, or first class
designate more than thirty-five percent of the city as blighted, a city of the second class shall
not designate an area larger than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and a village shall not
designate an area larger than one hundred percent of the village as blighted. A redevelopment
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 9 / 358
project involving a formerly used defense site as authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall
not count towards the percentage limitations contained in this subdivision;
(31) Substandard area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light,
air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence
of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of
such factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile
delinquency, and crime, (which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is
detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare; and

ANALYSIS-Blight and Substandard Study
The following findings are copied directly from the Study. The analysis of the
substandard and blighted factors is conducted on pages 6 – 13 of the study.
FINDINGS FOR GRAND ISLAND
Study Area 32 has several items contributing to the Blight and Substandard Conditions.
These conditions include:
Blighting Summary
These conditions are contributing to the blighted conditions of the study area.
Substantial number of deteriorating structures
o Within the study are 100.00% of the structures were deemed to be in normal condition or worse.
Deterioration of site or other improvements
o Curb and gutter are missing throughout the study area.
o The study area has what is considered rural section (ditches) and the drainage areas appear to be
silting in.
o Streets through most of the study area were an average or excellent condition.
o Sidewalks are missing within the entire study area.
Diversity of Ownership
o There are many different property owners within the study area including the City of Grand Island.
o The diversity of ownership may be a barrier to future development.
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
The average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years.
o 8 (80.0%) buildings or improvements were determined to be 40 years of age or older.
o 2 (20.0%) buildings or improvements were determined to be less than 40 years of age.
o The average age based upon a cumulative age calculation is 41.8 years.
The other criteria for Blight were not present in the area, these included:
Factors Which Are Impairing And/or Arresting Sound Growth
Insanitary and Unsafe Conditions
Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
Faulty Lot Layout
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 10 / 358
Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
Stable or decreasing population based on the last two decennial censuses.
Tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding fair value of the land.
Defective or unusual condition of title,
Unemployment in the designated area is at least 120% of the state or national average.
One-half of unimproved property is over 40 years old.
The per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of the city or village in
which the area is designated.
These issues were either not present or were limited enough as to have little impact on the overall condition
of the study area.
Substandard Summary
Nebraska State Statute requires that “…an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of dilapidation,
deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open
spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or
property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health,
transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime, (which cannot be remedied
through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare;”
This Study Area meets the defintion of Substandard as defined in the Revised Nebraska State Statutes.

conditions include:
Blighted Conditions
Substantial number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures.
Condition of Structures
Diversity of Ownership

Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 11 / 358
Recommendation
Staff recommends considering the following questions as a starting point in the analysis
of this Study and in making a determination. The City Council is ultimately responsible
for answering the question of whether the property included in the study is blighted and
substandard and whether making such a designation is in the best interest of the City.
Recommend Questions for City Council
Does this property meet the statutory requirements to be considered blighted and
substandard? (See the prior statutory references.)
Are the blighted and substandard factors distributed throughout the
Redevelopment Area, so basically good areas are not arbitrarily found to be
substandard and blighted simply because of proximity to areas which are
substandard and blighted? Is development of adjacent property necessary to
eliminate blighted and substandard conditions in the area?
Is public intervention appropriate and/or necessary for the redevelopment of the
area?
Will a blight declaration increase the likelihood of development/redevelopment in
the near future and is that in the best interest of the City?
What is the policy of the City toward increasing development and redevelopment
in this area of the City?
Findings of fact must be based on the study and testimony presented including all written
material and staff reports. The recommendation must be based on the declaration, not
based on any proposed uses of the site. All of the testimony, a copy of the study and this
memo along with any other information presented at the hearing should be entered into
the record of the hearing.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing and took action on the
blight and substandard study proposed Area 32 during its meeting on June 2, 2021.
This study is approximately 43 acres of located on both sides of Old Potash Highway
west of North Road. (C-16-2021GI)
O’Neill opened the public hearing:
Nabity stated the property is approximately 45 acres and is located west of North
Road and including property both north and south of Old Potash Highway in
western Grand Island. The study as prepared and submitted indicates that this
property could be considered blighted and substandard.
Zach Butz, Keith Marvin and Josh Rhoads all testified in favor of declaring the
area blighted and substandard and made themselves available to questions from
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 12 / 358
the commission.
O’Neill closed the hearing:
A motion was made by Robb and second by Rainforth to approve CRA Area #32
located west of North Road on either side of Old Potash Highway.
The motion tied with four members voting yes (Ruge, Olson, Robb and Rubio)
and four members voting no (O’Neill, Rainforth, Hendricksen and Randone).
Discussion was held on whether to make a motion to recommend that council
deny the request to approve the study area. No member of the commission wished
to make that motion. Director Nabity suggested that someone make a motion to
forward this item back to Council with a motion of no recommendation regarding
approval of the study.
A motion was made by Robb and second by Rainforth to forward to city council
with a recommendation of no recommendation.
The motion was carried with six members voting yes (Ruge, Olson, Robb,
Rainforth, Rubio and Hendricksen) and two members voting no (O’Neill and
Randone).
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
Sample Motion
If Council wishes to approve the designation of this property as blighted and substandard,
an action required if Tax Increment Financing is to be used for the redevelopment of
properties in this area, a motion should be made to approve the Substandard and Blight
Designation for Redevelopment Area No. 32 in Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska
finding the information in the study to be factual and supporting such designation. A
resolution authorizing the approval of this study has been prepared for Council
consideration.

PURPOSE OF THE BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD STUDY
The purpose of completing this Blight and Substandard study is to examine existing conditions
within Study Area 32 of the city of Grand Island. This study has been commissioned by the Rhoads
Enterprises, Inc. in order to analyze the possibility of declaring the area as blighted and
substandard within this specific study area.
The City of Grand Island, when considering conditions of Blight and Substandard, will be looking
at those issues and definitions provided for in the Nebraska Community Redevelopment Law as
found in Chapter 18, Section 2104 of the Revised Nebraska State Statutes, as follows:
“The governing body of a city, to the greatest extent it deems to be feasible in carrying
out the provisions of the Community Development Law, shall afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the city as a whole, to the rehabilitation
or redevelopment of the community redevelopment area by private enterprises. The
governing body of a city shall give consideration to this objective in exercising its
powers under the Community Development Law, including the formulation of a
workable program, the approval of community redevelopment plans consistent with
the general plan for the development of the city, the exercise of its zoning powers, the
enforcement of other laws, codes, and regulations, relating to the use of land and the
use and occupancy of buildings and improvements, the disposition of any property
acquired, and the providing of necessary public improvements.”
The Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2105 continues by granting authority to the governing body
for formulation of a workable program; disaster assistance; effect. The statute reads,
“The governing body of a city or an authority at its direction for the purposes of the
Community Development Law may formulate for the entire municipality a workable
program for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate or prevent
the development or spread of urban blight, to encourage needed urban
rehabilitation, to provide for the redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas, or
to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible municipal activities as
may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such workable program. Such
workable program may include, without limitation, provision for the prevention of the
spread of blight into areas of the municipality which are free from blight through
diligent enforcement of housing, zoning, and occupancy controls and standards; the
rehabilitation or conservation of substandard and blighted areas or portions thereof by
replanning, removing congestion, providing parks, playgrounds, and other public
improvements by encouraging voluntary rehabilitation and by compelling the repair
and rehabilitation of deteriorated or deteriorating structures; and the clearance and
redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas or portions thereof.”
“Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Community Development Law, where the
local governing body certifies that an area is in need of redevelopment or
rehabilitation as a result of flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, storm, or other
catastrophe respecting which the Governor of the state has certified the need for
disaster assistance under federal law, the local governing body may approve a
redevelopment plan and a redevelopment project with respect to such area without
regard to the provisions of the Community Development Law requiring a general plan
for the municipality and notice and public hearing or findings other than herein set
forth.”
Based on the Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2103 the following definitions shall apply:
“Blighted area means an area (a) which, by reason of the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, existence of defective or
inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or
usefulness, insanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other improvements,
diversity of ownership, tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding the fair value
of the land, defective or unusual conditions of title, improper subdivision or obsolete
platting, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and
other causes, or any combination of such factors, substantially impairs or arrests the

sound growth of the community, retards the provision of housing accommodations, or
constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to the public health,
safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in which there is at
least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the designated area is at
least one hundred twenty percent of the state or national average; (ii) the average
age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years; (iii) more
than half of the plotted and subdivided property in an area is unimproved land that
has been within the city for forty years and has remained unimproved during that time;
(iv) the per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of
the city or village in which the area is designated; or (v) the area has had either stable
or decreasing population based on the last two decennial censuses. In no event shall
a city of the metropolitan, primary, or first class designate more than thirty-five percent
of the city as blighted, a city of the second class shall not designate an area larger
than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and a village shall not designate an area
larger than one hundred percent of the village as blighted. A redevelopment project
involving a formerly used defense site as authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall not
count towards the percentage limitations contained in this subdivision;”
“Extremely blighted area means a substandard and blighted area in which: (a) The
average rate of unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most
recent federal decennial census is at least two hundred percent of the average rate
of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (b) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or
federal census block group or block groups in the area;”
“Substandard area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation,
light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or
the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes,
or any combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease,
infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime, (which cannot be remedied through
construction of prisons), and is detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or
welfare; and”
“Workforce housing means:
(a) Housing that meets the needs of today's working families;
(b) Housing that is attractive to new residents considering relocation to a rural community;
(c) Owner-occupied housing units that cost not more than two hundred seventy-five
thousand dollars to construct or rental housing units that cost not more than two hundred
thousand dollars per unit to construct. For purposes of this subdivision (c), housing unit
costs shall be updated annually by the Department of Economic Development based
upon the most recent increase or decrease in the Producer Price Index for all
commodities, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics;
(d) Owner-occupied and rental housing units for which the cost to substantially rehabilitate
exceeds fifty percent of a unit's assessed value; and
(e) Upper-story housing.”
This Blight and Substandard Study is only for a portion of the corporate limits of the city which has
not previously been so designated. The Study is intended to give the Grand Island CRA, Hall
County Regional Planning Commission and Grand Island City Council the basis for identifying and
declaring Blighted and Substandard conditions existing within the City’s jurisdiction and as allowed
under Chapter 18, Section 2123.01. Through this process, the City and property owners will be
attempting to address economic and/or social liabilities which are harmful to the well-being of
the entire community.

The study area can be seen in Figure 1 of this report. A Redevelopment Plan to be submitted in
the future will contain, in accordance with the law, definite local objectives regarding appropriate
land uses, improved traffic, public transportation, public utilities and other public improvements,
and the proposed land uses and building requirements in the redevelopment area and shall
include:
• The boundaries defining the blighted and substandard areas in question (including existing
uses and conditions of the property within the area), and
• A list of the conditions present, which qualify the area as blighted and substandard.
BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD ELIGIBILITY STUDY
This study targets the specified area indicated in Figure 1 of this report. The existing uses in this area
includes several uses including, residential, commercial, industrial, and public uses.
Through the redevelopment process, the City of Grand Island can guide future development and
redevelopment throughout the area. The use of the Community Redevelopment Act by the City
is intended to redevelop and improve areas of the community. Using the Community
Redevelopment Act, the City of Grand Island can assist in the elimination of negative conditions
and implement different programs/projects identified for the City.
The following is the description of the designated area within the City of Grand Island.
Point of beginning is the intersection of the centerlines of Old Potash Road and North Road;
thence, northerly along the centerline of North Road to the extended north property line of a
tract referred to as Miscellaneous Tracts 14-11-10 PT SE 1/4 SE 1/4 2.72 AC (124 North Road North;
thence, westerly along the said north property line and continuing along the north property of a
tract referred to as Pontious Sub Part Lot 1 100' X 185.47' & All of Lot 2, at the northwest corner of

EXISTING LAND USES
The term “Land Use” refers to the developed uses in place within a building or on a specific parcel
of land. The number and type of uses are constantly changing within a community and produce
a number of impacts either benefitting or detracting from the community. Because of this, the
short and long-term success and sustainability of the community is directly contingent upon
available resources utilized in the best manner given the constraints the City faces during the
course of the planning period. Existing patterns of land use are often fixed in older communities
and neighborhoods, while development in newer areas is often reflective of current development
practices.

Existing Land Use Analysis within Study Area
As part of the planning process, a survey was conducted through both in-field observations, as
well as data collection online using the Hall County Assessors website. This survey noted the use of
each parcel of land within the study area. These data from the survey are analyzed in the following
paragraphs. Figures 2 and 3 shows the different uses present within the corporate limits of the
during development of the Comprehensive Plan. The different uses also have the overall percent
of the total area.
FINDINGS OF BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS ELIGIBILITY STUDY
This section of the study examines the conditions found in the study area. The Findings Section will
review the conditions based upon the statutory definitions.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
There were a number of conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. There are a
number of conditions to be reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the statutory
conditions are not present.
Structural Conditions
Structural conditions were evaluated, structures were either rated as: Excellent, Very Good, Above
Normal, Normal, Below Normal, Poor or Very Poor. The data and rating system come from the Hall
County Assessor’s database and is the same database used to value properties in the area.
According to the data there are 10 structures in the study area.
Based upon the data provided to the planning team, the following is the breakdown for
structures in the study area:
• 0 (0.00%) structures rated as Excellent
• 0 (0.00%) structure rated as Very Good
• 0 (0.00%) structures rated as Above Normal
• 10 (100.00%) structures rated Normal
• 0 ( 0.00%) structures rated Below Normal
• 0 ( 0.00%) structures rated Poor
• 0 ( 0.00%) structure rated as Very Poor
Based upon these data, an assumption has been made that normal conditions in combination
with the age of structures or a condition less than normal may constitute the possibility of some or
considerable deterioration. It is common for older structures to need more maintenance and
upkeep in order to maintain a good or higher condition. Even a structure rated as normal will show
some signs of deteriorating which in turn can become a dilapidated structure in the future if it is
not addressed over time. Overall, 100.00% of the structures in this study area are considered as a
normal condition.
Due to the stated conditions found in the Hall County Assessor’s data, the condition of the
structure is a contributing factor.
Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements
Sidewalk Conditions
Sidewalks, regardless of the area and uses within a community, should provide a safe means of
movement for pedestrians. Sidewalks become increasingly more important along transportation
routes considered to be arterials and highways. A sidewalk allows for pedestrian movement while
keeping people off heavily traveled streets.

The sidewalk conditions were analyzed in the Study Area. The sidewalks were rated on five
categories: Excellent, Good, Average, Fair, Poor, and missing completely.
Within the study area there is approximately 3,000 lineal feet or .57 miles of area where sidewalk
could or should be located. After reviewing the conditions in the field, the following is how the
sidewalk conditions breakdown within the study area:
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Excellent sidewalk
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Good sidewalk
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Average sidewalk
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Fair sidewalk
• 3,000 (100.00%) lineal feet of Poor or Missing sidewalk
The study area does not contain any sidewalks either along Old Potash Road or North Road.
Sidewalk is critical to the overall pedestrian movement of an area, long-term. Even sidewalk
constructed which at present goes nowhere will eventually connect to several portions of the
community.
Due to the lack of sidewalk, sidewalks are considered a direct contributing factor.

Curb and Gutter
Curb and Gutters have a number of direct and indirect roles in communities. Their primary function
is to be a barrier to collect and direct water to be drained away. On a secondary level, they can
help define where the streets start and stop, and they act as a physical barrier between
pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Curb and gutter for the Study Area were examined similarly to sidewalks. The curb and gutter were
graded as either Excellent, Good, Average, Fair, Poor and Missing. There is no curb and gutter
within the study area. And is considered rural section drainage.
Within the study area there is approximately 3,000 lineal feet of curb and gutter possible. After
reviewing the conditions in the field, the following is how the curb and gutter conditions
breakdown within the corporate limits:
• 0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Excellent curb and gutter
• 0 ( 0.00%) lineal feet of Good curb and gutter
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Average curb and gutter
• 0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Fair curb and gutter
• 3,000 (100.00%) lineal feet of Poor or Missing curb and gutter
The majority of the community’s streets and drainage have been designed and constructed in a
manner referred to as rural section. A rural section street/road is one where water drains directly
from the driving surface into ditches paralleling the street. This approach is adequate; however,
this design typically sees the ditches begin to silt in and/or have tall grass growing in them. These
factors quickly deteriorate the ability of the ditch to adequately drain away water from the driving
surface and this typically leads to localized flooding and ponding.
Due to the large amount of deteriorating and missing curb and gutter, the curb and gutter
conditions would be a direct contributing factor.
Streets
Streets within a community are essential to moving people and vehicles from place to place. Their
condition and construction have an impact on the appearance of a community, which leads
directly to how a community is perceived by the outside world.

Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 22 / 358
Blight and Substandard Study – Area 32
City of Grand Island, NE – Area 32 • April 2021 Page 9
Within the study area there is approximately 2,630 lineal feet or .49 miles of street possible. After
reviewing the conditions in the field, the following is how the street conditions breakdown within
the corporate limits:
• 425 (16.2%) lineal feet of Excellent street
• 0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Good street
• 2,205 (83.8%) lineal feet of Average street
• 0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Fair street
• 0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Poor street
The streets within the Study Area are in either excellent condition or average condition. Overall,
83.8% are considered to be in average condition; thus, making streets a contributing factor. Similar
to sidewalks and curb and gutter, a rating of average is considered the beginning of deterioration
and may continue to decline over the next few years.
Age of Structure
Age of structures can be a contributing factor to the blighted and substandard conditions in an
area. Statutes allow for a predominance of structures 40 years of age or older to be a contributing
factor regardless of their condition. The following paragraphs document the structural age of the
structures within the Study Area. Note the age of structure was determined from the Appraisal
data within the Hall County Assessor’s website data.

Age of Structure
Within the study area there are 10 structures. After researching the structural age on the Hall
County Assessor’s website, the following breakdown was determined:
• 8 (80.0%) unit was determined to be 40 years of age or older.
• 2 (20.0%) unit was determined to be less than 40 years of age.
However, when examining the age based upon a cumulative approach, as in Table 1 the
average age of the primary structures is equal to 41.8 years; thus, meeting the requirements of the
statutes.
The age of the structures would be a direct contributing factor.

Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Concerning Proposed Amendments to Section §36-70 (B-3)
Heavy Business Zone and the Zoning Matrix Attachment A
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP Planning Director
Background
The Railside Business Improvement district has requested changes to the B-3 Heavy Business
Zone to allow out door sales on property in the district. The B-3 Zone is only located in and
around the Railside District. Staff has also reviewed the district regulations and is making
additional changes to the district to further refine the allowed uses in the district. The changes
proposed by staff will also be reflected in the Zoning Matrix.
Discussion
The proposed changes are attached with the memo sent to the planning commission. Strikeouts
will be removed from the regulation and underlined will be added to the regulations. All changes
are shown in red typeface. The proposed change removes some permitted uses and requirements
of those uses: Country clubs, Hospitals; nursing homes and convalescent or rest homes; Retail
activities of a prescriptive service, the requirement that all business be conducted inside the retail
space; and Truck, bush and tree farming. The changes also permit Outdoor retail sales and
display of goods on up to 10% of the lot area and specifically permit Restaurants, Bars and
Nightclubs.
These changes are also reflected in the Zoning Matrix Attachment A removing some uses from
the B3 zone and adding Bars and Nightclubs to the list as permitted in the B1, B2, B2, AC, CD,
TD, M2 and M3 zoning districts.

Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 54 / 358
Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Acquisition of Utility Easement – 3234 West Schimmer
Drive – GIG Ventures
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Nebraska State Law requires that acquisition of property must be approved by City
Council. The Utilities Department needs to acquire utility easement relative to the
property of GIG Ventures, LLC, located through a part of the South Half of the
Southwest Quarter (S ½, SW ¼) of Section Thirty-Two (32), Township Eleven (11)
North, Range Nine (9) West of the 6th P.M., in the City of Grand Island, Hall County,
Nebraska (3234 West Schimmer Drive), in order to have access to install, upgrade,
maintain, and repair power appurtenances, including lines and transformers.
Discussion
GIG Ventures, LLC, has requested a new electrical service to accommodate the upgrade
to their building located at 3234 West Schimmer Drive. A new 150 kVA 3-phase pad-
mount transformer and approximately 230 linear feet of 1/0 cable inside of a 4” conduit
will be installed to accommodate the service upgrade. The proposed easement will allow
the Utilities Department to install, access, operate, and maintain the electrical
infrastructure at this location.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Make a motion to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4. Take no action on the issue
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 55 / 358
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the resolution for the
acquisition of the easement for one dollar ($1.00).
Sample Motion
Move to approve acquisition of the Utility Easement.

Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Acquisition of Utility Easement – 1814 N. Eddy Street –
Casey’s Retail Co. a/k/a Casey’s General Store
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Nebraska State Law requires that acquisition of property must be approved by City
Council. The Utilities Department needs to acquire utility easement relative to the
property Casey’s Retail Company, located through a part of the Park Reserve of Gilbert’s
Subdivision of Block One (1), Gilbert’s 2nd Addition to the City of Grand Island, Hall
County, Nebraska (1814 N. Eddy Street), in order to have access to install, upgrade,
maintain, and repair power appurtenances, including lines and transformers.
Discussion
Casey’s Retail company constructed a new store located at 1814 North Eddy Street in
2008. An 8” water main (Water Main Project 2008-W-7) was relocated to accommodate
the construction of the new gas canopy. Due to some construction in the Five Points
area, Utility Engineering discovered the original document was never signed or filed.
This easement will allow the Utilities Department to access, operate, and maintain the
water infrastructure previously installed at this location.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Make a motion to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date

Subject:Public Hearing Concerning the Semi-Annual Report by
the Citizen Advisory Review Committee on the

Presenter(s):Dave Taylor, Executive Director
Background
The voters of the City of Grand Island approved an economic development plan at the

consideration in the future. The committee received the semi-annual report from the
Economic Development Corporation at its meeting of June 3, 2021 and voted to forward

Public Hearing on Acquisition of Permanent Utility Easement for
Sanitary Sewer District No. 287; 18th Street from Walnut Street to

Council action will take place under Consent Agenda item G-13.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Public Hearing on Acquisition of Permanent Utility
Easement for Sanitary Sewer District No. 287; 18th Street
from Walnut Street to Wheeler Avenue
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
In the process of cleaning up sanitary sewer records within the Public Works Department
it has been discovered that sanitary sewer easements in Sanitary Sewer District No. 287;
18th Street from Walnut Street to Wheeler Avenue were not acquired at the time of the
public sanitary sewer main installation. This matter dates back to 1955. Without the
necessary easement the City does not have proper authority to maintain the existing
public sanitary sewer main.
The public utility easement will allow for the construction, operation, maintenance,
extension, repair, replacement, and removal of sanitary sewer within the easement.
Discussion
Public utility easements are needed to accommodate the construction, operation,
maintenance, extension, repair, replacement, and removal of sanitary sewer in Sanitary
Sewer District No. 287; 18th Street from Walnut Street to Wheeler Avenue. The property
owners have signed the necessary document to grant the property, as shown on the
attached drawings, at no cost.

Subject:Ordinance #9830 - Consideration of Vacation of Utility
Easements – 3625 Old Potash Highway

Background
Two utility easement tracts were acquired by the City of Grand Island located in part of
the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter (NW ¼, NE ¼) of Section Twenty-Four
(24), Township Eleven (11) North, Range Ten (10) West, as described in Miscellaneous
Book W-1, page 297, recorded in the Hall County Register of Deeds Office on August
23, 1972. Hornady Manufacturing has requested the vacation of two unoccupied utility
easements located at their manufacturing plant located at 3625 Old Potash Highway.
Discussion
Hornady Manufacturing has added on to their existing building and has relocated their
existing electrical service into a newly acquired easement. The old electrical service has
been removed from the two easement tracts to be vacated. The vacation of these two
easements will allow the owner/developer to proceed with future development.

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

Item F-2
#9831 - Consideration of Approving Changes to Chapter 27 of the
Grand Island City Code Relative to Procurement
Staff Contact: Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 97 / 358
Council Agenda Memo
From:Stacy R. Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Amend City Code Chapter 27 Purchasing
Presenter(s):Stacy R. Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Background
Periodically it is a good idea to review City Code sections to make sure that they reflect
the state of the law and purchasing power in today’s world. The changes proposed to
Chapter 27 regarding purchasing are the result of review by the City Attorney’s Office
and the Finance Department. Once a draft document was created, all department directors
were given the chance to propose any changes or updates to Chapter 27.
Discussion
The purpose of this ordinance is to update Chapter 27 of the Grand Island City Code and
bring it into compliance with State Statute. Some of the major changes to Chapter 27 are:
27-4 – The bidder claiming confidential or proprietary information must provide
an explanation of that claim when making the claim.
27-7 – It updates the minimum amount of a contract that requires Council
approval to $30,000.00 and is in compliance with the amount set in state
purchasing statutes.
27-8 – Competitive Sealed Bidding will now need to be advertised for 15 days
instead of 7. This will be the same duration as Requests for Proposals and
Qualifications.
27-11 – Small Purchases will now be allowed up to the amount of $10,000.00
without a requirement for quotations. Currently, the amount for goods is
$2,500.00 and the amount for work requiring labor is $7,500.00 – this change
makes it a uniform amount across the board without the distinction of labor being
involved or not. Quotes will be required for purchases between $10,000 but equal
to or less than $30,000.00. Anything over $30,000 will require a public letting
that is approved by Council. Municipal electric utility enlargements or
improvements will require three quotes between the amounts of $10,000 and
$120,000. This amount is set by State Statute.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 98 / 358
27-12 – Sole Source Procurement is updated to only be a valid sole source for a
period of ten years. After ten years, the department will be required to re-solicit
bids and present another Sole Source designation to the Council.
27-13 – Emergency Procurements has been updated to reflect the language of
State Statute.
27-32 – Performance and Payment Bonds – the amount has been updated to
reflect the amount triggering the requirement under State Statute to contracts in
the amount of $10,000 or more for the erecting, furnishing, or repairing of any
public building, bridge, roadway, or other public structure or improvement.
27-34 – Fiscal Responsibility has been changed to reflect a more realistic number
requiring prior Council approval for a contract modification, change order, or
contract price adjustment from $300 to an amount of five percent or more than the
original contract amount.
27-62 Business Travel has been removed to make a requirement for a travel
policy manual that will be subject to approval by the Finance Director and City
Administrator. All travel will be in compliance with that manual.
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 approve Ordinance No. 9831.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Ordinance No. 9831.

(Designated Professional Services), §27-11 (Small Purchases), §27-12 (Sole Source
Procurement), §27-13 (Emergency Procurements), and §27-35 (Architects, Engineers,
Surveyors) of this chapter, all contracts of the City shall be awarded by competitive sealed
bidding.
Invitation for Bids. An invitation for bids shall be issued and shall include specifications,
and all contractual terms and conditions applicable to the procurement. Invitations for bids on
public works contracts shall require a statement of compliance with fair labor standards as
required by Neb. R.R.S. 73-102.
Public Notice. Adequate Public notice of the invitation for bids shall be given a
reasonable time, not less than seven (7) fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the date set forth
therein for the opening of bids. Such notice must be posted on the City’s website under the
Business tab, specifically the bids and request for proposals sections. Such notice may shall also

(15) calendar days prior to bid opening. The public notice shall state the place, date, and time of
bid opening.

ORDINANCE NO. 9831 (Cont.)
5
requirements set forth in the invitation for bids, which may include criteria to determine
acceptability such as inspection, testing, quality, workmanship, delivery, and suitability for a
particular purpose. Those criteria that will affect the bid price and be considered in evaluation for
award shall be objectively measurable, such as discounts, transportation costs, and total or life
cycle costs. The invitation for bids shall set forth the evaluation criteria to be used. No criteria
may be used in bid evaluation that are not set forth in the invitation for bids.
Correction or Withdrawal of Bids; Cancellation of Awards. Correction or withdrawal of
inadvertently erroneous bids before or after bid opening, or cancellation of awards or contracts
based on such bid mistakes, may be permitted where appropriate. Mistakes discovered before bid
opening may be modified or withdrawn by written or telegraphic notice received in the office
designated in the invitation for bids prior to the time set for bid opening. After bid opening,
corrections in bids shall be permitted only to the extent that the bidder can show by clear and
convincing evidence that a mistake of a nonjudgmental character was made, the nature of the
mistake, and the bid price actually intended. After bid opening, no changes in bid prices or other
provisions of bids prejudicial to the interest of the City or fair competition shall be permitted. In
lieu of bid correction, a low bidder alleging a material mistake of fact may be permitted to
withdraw its bid if:
(A) The mistake is clearly evident on the face of the bid document but the intended correct
bid is not similarly evident; or
(B) The bidder submits evidence which clearly and convincingly demonstrates that a
mistake was made. All decisions to permit the correction or withdrawal of bids, or to cancel
awards or contracts based on bid mistakes, shall be supported by a written determination
made by the purchasing agent.
Award. The contract shall be awarded with reasonable promptness by appropriate written
notice to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose bid meets the requirements and
criteria set forth in the invitation for bids, subject to the requirements of Neb. R.R.S. 73-101.01
for resident bidder preference. In the event the low responsive and responsible bid for a
construction project exceeds available funds as certified by the city treasurer, and such bid does
not exceed such funds by more than five percent, the purchasing agent is authorized, when time
or economic considerations preclude resolicitation of work of a reduced scope, to negotiate an
adjustment of the bid price with the low responsive and responsible bidder, in order to bring the
bid within the amount of available funds. Negotiated adjustments shall be based upon
eliminating independent deductive items specified in the invitation for bids or upon adjustments
to unit prices or project prices.
Multi-Step Sealed Bidding. When it is considered impractical to prepare initially a
purchase description to support an award based on price, an invitation for bids may be issued
requesting the submission of unpriced offers to be followed by an invitation for bids limited to
those bidders whose offers have been determined to be technically acceptable under the criteria
set forth in the first solicitation.
Local Bidder Preference. In case of tied low bids, all other things being equal, preference
shall be given in the following order:
(A) To those bidders who manufacture their products within the limits of the City of Grand
Island;
(B) To those bidders who manufacture their products within the limits of the County of Hall;

(C) To those bidders who package, process, or through some other substantial operation
have employees and facilities for these purposes in the City of Grand Island;
(D) To those bidders who package, process, or through some other substantial operation
have employees and facilities for these purposes in the County of Hall;
(E) To those bidders who maintain a bona fide business office in the City of Grand Island,
whose products may be made outside the confines of the County of Hall;
(F) To those bidders who maintain a bona fide business office in the County of Hall, whose
products may be made outside of the confines of the County of Hall;
(G) To those bidders whose commodities are manufactured, mined, produced, or grown
within the State of Nebraska, and to all firms, corporations, or individuals doing business as
Nebraska firms, corporations, or individuals when quality is equal or better and delivered
price is the same or less than the other bids received;
(H) To those bidders whose commodities are manufactured, mined, produced, or grown
within the United States of America, and to all firms, corporations, or individuals doing
business as firms registered in states other than Nebraska, when quality is equal or better and
delivered price is the same or less than the other bids received.
§27-9. Competitive Sealed Proposals
Conditions for Use. When the purchasing agent determines in writing that the use of
competitive sealed bidding is either not practicable or not advantageous to the City, a contract
may be entered into by use of the competitive sealed proposals method.
Request for Proposals. Proposals shall be solicited through a request for proposals.
Public Notice. Adequate Public notice of the request for proposals shall be given in the
same manner as provided in §27-8 (Competitive Sealed Bidding); provided, the minimum time

public inspection after the award of the contract.
Evaluation Factors. The request for proposals shall state the relative importance of price
and other evaluation factors.
Discussion with Responsible Offerors and Revisions to Proposals. As provided in the
request for proposals, discussions may be conducted with responsible offerors who submit
proposals determined to be reasonably susceptible of being selected for award for the purpose of
clarification to assure full understanding of, and conformance to, the solicitation requirements.
Offerors shall be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for discussion
and revision of proposals and such revisions may be permitted after submissions and prior to
award for the purpose of obtaining best and final offers. In conducting discussion, there shall be
no disclosure of the identity of competing offerors or of any information derived from proposals
submitted by competing offerors.
Award. Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined in
writing to be the most advantageous to the City, taking into consideration price and the
evaluation factors set forth in the request for proposals. No other factors or criteria shall be used
in the evaluation. The contract file shall contain the basis on which the award is made.

From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Consideration of Vacation of Public Right-of-Way in
Baker’s Addition; Between 3rd Street and US Highway
30, from Garfield Avenue to US Highway 30
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The section between 3rd Street and US Highway 30, from Garfield Avenue to US
Highway 30 has been requested for vacation by the adjacent property owner.
Discussion
The adjacent property owner plans to replat the five (5) lots they own in the area of 3rd
Street and US Highway 30, from Garfield Avenue to US Highway 30 into two (2) lots.
The alley serves no useful purpose as it has no destination points. Due to several utilities
being in this area a public utility easement will be retained over the complete section. The
attached sketch details the referenced area.
Ownership of the vacated alley will revert to the adjacent property owner.
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
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 141 / 358
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council pass an ordinance vacating the public
right-of-way in Baker’s Addition; 3rd Street and US Highway 30, from Garfield Avenue
to US Highway 30, with easement retained.
Sample Motion
Move to pass an ordinance vacating the public right-of-way and retaining easement.

#9834 - Consideration of Approving Salary Ordinance
Staff Contact: Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 146 / 358
Council Agenda Memo
From:Police Department
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Consideration of Approving Salary Ordinance No. 9834
to Include Lateral Hiring Incentive Package for Certified
Police Officer Applicants.
Presenter(s):Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Background
The salary ordinance for employees of the City of Grand Island comes before Council
when changes are proposed. The following explains the proposed changes to the salary
ordinance.
Over the past several years the Police Department’s officer applicant numbers have
decreased substantially. The Police Department did start to offer a lateral hiring incentive
program two years ago, which would allow for certified Nebraska or certified out of state
officers to start on a pay step with the City that would be equal to the pay from their
former agency. Without added benefits with this current program, we are still not
attracting certified and qualified applicants.
Over the past couple of years, we have had officers retiring or resigning from our agency
faster than we can replace them with qualified new hires, which is requiring excessive
overtime and affecting the morale of current officers.
All non-certified new officer hires at the Police Department are required to attend the 15-
week certification basic class at the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center
(NLETC) within one year of being hired.
Discussion
The Police Department would like to implement a new lateral hiring incentive program
that will still allow Nebraska and out of state certified applicants to start on an equal pay
step with the City, as our current program does, along with two additional added
incentives.
The first added incentive that we would like to offer is a $1,500 certification credit to be
paid upon hire to a Nebraska certified applicant or to an out of state certified applicant
upon completion of Nebraska’s Reciprocity Certification process through the NLETC.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 147 / 358
The second added incentive would be the issuance of 50 hours of comp time to be given
upon hire of a Nebraska certified applicant or to an out of state certified applicant upon
completion of Nebraska’s Reciprocity Certification process. We understand that certified
applicants that choose to apply with our agency will more than likely have vacation or
comp leave built up with the agency they come from. By offering the 50 hours of comp
leave to certified new hires with the City, we feel that this incentive would make the
decision easier for a certified applicant to join our department.
We have estimated that the cost of offering the two additional incentives to newly hired
certified applicants ($1,500 certification credit and 50 hours of comp time) would be a
cost of approximately $3,000.
The cost savings to the City for not sending a new hire to the NLETC is approximately a
$21,127 savings when considering the wages to attend the NLETC ($14,412), overtime
($4,500), meals while at the training center ($1,395), training center entrance fees ($300)
and ammunition use while at the training center ($520).
This would equate to an approximate total cost savings for the City of $18,127 after
implementing our new lateral hiring program that allows for the hire of qualified and
certified applicants without the need to send them through an entire basic class at the
NLETC.
With the implementation of this new program, we will still require certified applicants to
apply with our agency and would still require a polygraph and psychological evaluation
during the hiring process to assure that we are still getting quality new officers.
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 approve the implementation of the
proposed Lateral Hiring Program for the Police Department. City Administration
recommends that the Council approve proposed Salary Ordinance No. 9834.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the implementation of the proposed Lateral Hiring Program for the
Police Department. Move to approve Salary Ordinance No. 9834.

#2021-139 - Approving Bid Award - 115 kV Relay Setting - 2021
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 188 / 358
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:115kV Relay Setting - 2021
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Grand Island Electric System utilizes a 115,000-volt transmission loop that connects
eight substations around the city. This transmission loop is protected by relaying that
monitors the power flowing on these lines. The Utilities Department is in the process of
replacing aging relaying around the loop. These relays use internal calculations in real
time to determine if the power if flowing safely. These calculations can vary greatly
based on the length and construction of the line, and all electrical equipment connected to
that line. When correctly configured, these relays are capable of isolating faulted lines
quickly and without outages on unaffected equipment.
The Utilities Department does not have the software or personnel available to model the
system and determine the proper relay settings. When considering reliability as the
primary driver, it is desirable to have someone with extensive specialized experience
perform this modeling and develop the settings for the new relays.
Discussion

the 115kV Settings – 2021. The two bids received were:

#2021-140 - Approving Bid Award - Water Storage Tank
Maintenance Program
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 193 / 358
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Water Storage Tank Maintenance Program
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The City water system has five water storage tanks used to store water for daily use and
emergencies. The tanks require periodic maintenance of interior and exterior washes, and
painting to maintain the appearance and structural integrity of the tanks. In the past,
department staff have performed washes and hired contractors to complete painting
renovations. This method of maintenance requires special budgeting when inspections
determined when repainting would need to be completed. By contracting with a tank
maintenance contractor, the annual budget can be levelized for complete maintenance of
the storage tanks. All cleanings, repairs, and repainting will be included in the tank
maintenance program.
Engineering staff developed a specification for proposals on tank maintenance programs
for each of the five tanks, Burdick Reservoir, Rogers #1 Reservoir, Rogers #2 Reservoir,
Kimball Reservoir, and Olson Tower.
Discussion
A Request for Proposal was advertised and sent to three potential vendors. Three
proposals were received and opened on April 8, 2021.
Bidder Total Annual Proposal
SUEZ
Atlanta, Georgia $257,728.00
Viking Industrial Painting
Omaha, Nebraska $169,651.00
Maguire Iron, Inc.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota $160,569.00
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 194 / 358
The proposals were evaluated by engineering staff on multiple criteria. All evaluations
found Maguire Iron, Inc., to have the best proposal for the Water System Tank
Maintenance Program.
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 presented in this motion
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council award the proposal for the Water Tank
Maintenance Program to Maguire Iron, Inc., of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for all five
tanks for a period of no less than ten years with an annual sum of $160,569.00, adjusted
annually.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the proposal from Maguire Iron, Inc., of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for
the Water Tank Maintenance program in the annual amount of $160,569.00, adjusted
annually, for a period of no less than ten years.

Item G-8
#2021-141 - Approving Bid Award - Electrostatic Precipitator
Transformer-Rectifier
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 199 / 358
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Electrostatic Precipitator Transformer-Rectifier Replacement
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Platte Generating Station operates with an electrostatic precipitator designed to remove fly ash
from the flue gas of a coal-fired boiler. The system, implemented in 1983, is designed such that
an electric potential is created onto collecting plates and discharge electrodes. These plates and
electrodes then attract particulate matter to them. After collecting the particulate matter, a system
of rappers is used to “shake” the collected particulate off into a collecting chamber. In order to
abide by the EPA regulations, the electrostatic precipitator needs to be running at optimal
efficiency.
The transformer-rectifier is the main component that creates the high electric potential needed to
attract the fly ash. After being in service for almost 40 years, three need to be replaced. The tanks
that hold the insulating oil, rectifier, and the high step-up transformer are showing signs of
severe rust near the bottom. At some point the rust could cause the oil to leak through and cause
the transformer to overheat and fail.
Discussion
Specifications for the Electrostatic Precipitator Transformer-Rectifier Replacement were
advertised and issued for bid in accordance with the City purchasing code. Bids were publicly
opened on June 8, 2021. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $150,000.00.
Bidder Bid Price
The Babcock & Wilcox Company
Newport News, Virginia $270,337.00
Redkoh Industries
Hillsborough, New Jersey $162,000.00
NWL, Inc.
Bordentown, New Jersey $161,950.00
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 200 / 358
Bids were reviewed by plant engineering staff. During the site inspection, a couple of the tanks
were found to be severely rusted. The contractors added the cost to fabricate a containment in the
event the bottoms of the tanks give out during removal. This cost was not included in the
engineers estimate, however, is needed for safe removal of the transformer-rectifier.
The cost to perform this work is included in the annual operational and maintenance budget and
within the annual budget for maintenance of this type. Since this project is not a capital
construction project and rather an operation and maintenance expense that has sufficient funding
budgeted, the engineering staff recommends an adjustment to the engineer’s estimate by the
department head. The Department can show that these funds have been appropriated for this
work and that this decision will be fiscally responsible.
Redkoh and The Babcock & Wilcox Company could not comply with the required schedule
constraints. NWL Inc., was otherwise found compliant with the specifications and approximately
7.4% higher than the engineer’s estimate.
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 Council award the contract for the Electrostatic
Precipitator Transformer-Rectifier Replacement to NWL Inc., of Bordentown, New Jersey, as
the low responsive bidder, with the bid in the amount of $161,950.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the bid in the amount of $ 161,950.00 for the Electrostatic Precipitator

#2021-142 - Approving Bobcat Excavator Lease Agreement for the
Utilities Underground Division
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 205 / 358
Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Approving Lease Agreement for Bobcat Excavator
Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Grand Island Utilities Department Underground Division routinely installs new
underground electrical infrastructure for new residential, commercial and industrial
developments. Oftentimes, crews are installing infrastructure in multiple locations at
once. Up until a couple of years ago, the Division was able to keep up with the amount of
work with a single backhoe that is owned by the Department, however, the last several
years have been exceptionally busy and required the rental of a small excavator to allow
more crew flexibility. During calendar year 2020, approximately $14,000 was spent on
weekly and monthly rental charges for this unit. A less costly option was presented as an
annual lease of the unit for $5,800.00.
Discussion
The pricing of the lease is based upon Sourcewell, a government pricing organization.
Bobcat is responsible for any repairs to the unit. Grand Island Utilities would only need
to perform routine maintenance such as oil changes. The annual cost is significantly
lower than the charges incurred during 2020 for the rental of the unit.
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 a future date
4. Take no action on the issue
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 206 / 358
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the lease agreement with
Hometown Leasing for the amount of $5,800.00.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the lease agreement with Hometown Leasing for the amount of

#2021-143 - Approving Resolution Directing Property Owner to
Repair Sidewalk at 1208 N Broadwell Avenue
Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 216 / 358
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Resolution Directing Property Owner to Repair Sidewalk
at 1208 N Broadwell Avenue
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On June 8, 2020, Public Works Administration received a Sidewalk Cost Share Program
Application from Sofia A. Montanez for the property at 1208 N Broadwell Avenue. Such
application was reviewed and deemed eligible for the program, with an Engineering
Technician marking out the sidewalk panels that do not comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). On June 16, 2020 an approval letter was emailed to Ms.
Montanez, noting the amount the City would contribute to the necessary sidewalk repairs.
As of February 4, 2021 the necessary sidewalk repairs had not been made, therefore the
matter was referred to Code Enforcement. A thirty (30) day letter was sent to the property
owner on February 4, 2021 with no action taken during the given timeframe and attempts
to reach the property owner in person and by phone unsuccessful. On March 12, 2021 the
Code Enforcement Officer issued another notice at the property, which received a reply
from the owner’s daughter. There was confusion on the part of the property owner, with
the thought that the City would make the necessary sidewalk repairs. The Code
Enforcement Officer explained that the City doesn’t do such work and it would need to
be privately contracted. On March 25, 2021 the property owner’s daughter notified the
Code Enforcement Officer that they have not been able to find anyone to complete the
work. As of April 4, 2021 the necessary repairs have not been made. Other properties
have been awarded sidewalk cost share funds and have completed the necessary repairs
in the time this case has been worked.
April 19, 2021 a letter was sent to the property owner concerning necessary repairs to the
sidewalk at 1208 N Broadwell Avenue (Lot 16, Block 1, Boggs and Hill’s Addition to the
City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska). The letter stated the matter of uncompleted
sidewalk repairs at 1208 N Broadwell Avenue would be presented to City Council on
May 11, 2021 to prevent accident or injury to citizens using the sidewalk. Section 32-58
of the City Code and Section 16-662 R.S. Nebraska Statues, make the property owner
responsible for repairing sidewalks adjacent to their property.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 217 / 358
To allow further time for the property owner to make contact with the Public Works
Department for a plan regarding the sidewalk repairs a letter was sent stating the matter
was rescheduled for the June 22, 2021 City Council meeting.
Discussion
The Public Works Department is requesting that a resolution be passed giving the
property owner 15 days to obtain the sidewalk permit and 15 days from issuance of such
permit to complete the repairs of the sidewalk at 1208 N Broadwell Avenue (Lot 16,
Block 1, Boggs and Hill’s Addition to the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska),
as this is a public safety concern.
If the property owner fails to either obtain the sidewalk permit in the 15 day timeframe or
complete the necessary repairs 15 days after such permit is issued, the City of Grand
Island will take steps to make the necessary repairs with all costs being the responsibility
of the property owner.
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 approve a resolution directing the
property owner to obtain a permit and repair the sidewalk located at 1208 N Broadwell
Avenue (Lot 16, Block 1, Boggs and Hill’s Addition to the City of Grand Island, Hall
County, Nebraska).
Sample Motion
Move to approve a resolution directing the property owner to obtain a sidewalk permit
and repair the sidewalk.

as Lot 16, Block 1, Boggs and Hill’s Addition to the City of Grand Island, Hall County,
Nebraska, has been determined to be in need of repair and replacement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that notice be sent to the property owner to
obtain a sidewalk permit within 15 days and within 15 days of such permit issuance to make the
necessary repairs to the sidewalk abutting the property located at 1208 N Broadwell Avenue (Lot
16, Block 1, Boggs and Hill’s Addition to the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska). If
the property owner fails to either obtain the sidewalk permit in the 15 day timeframe or complete
the necessary repairs within 15 days of such permit issuance, the City will cause the work to be
done and assess the cost against the property.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Charley Falmlen, Transit Program Manager
Meeting:June 22, 2021
Subject:Approving Agreement for the Nebraska Public
Transportation Assistance Program
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On June 25, 2019 via Resolution No. 2019-197 City Council approved the agreement
between the City and Senior Citizens Industries, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska for
public transit services. Such approval consisted of an agreement providing compensation
to Senior Citizens Industries, Inc (SCI.) in the total amount of $697,213.17 for the period
of July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. The City has the option to renew the agreement beyond
June 30, 2022 on an annual basis for a two (2) year period, after which time proposals
will be solicited. Compensation for the extended service is at the following rates, billed
monthly: July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021- $718,129.57 annually and July 1, 2021
through June 30, 2022– $739,673.46 annually. Service will be provided both in the City
of Grand Island and County of Hall via a unified system operated by Senior Citizens
Industries, Inc.
The Federal Transit Authority’s (FTA) 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Grants reimburse a
portion of the City of Grand Island’s contract with SCI. Additionally, 5307 Urbanized
Area Formula Grants reimburse the City for a portion of the public transit project
administration conducted by the Public Works Transit Division. FTA reimburses the City
for capital expenses at a ratio of 80/20, and operating expenses at a ratio of 50/50.
Funds are available through the State of Nebraska Public Transportation Assistance
Program to aid the City in meeting the required matching funds. If awarded, these State
funds will be used towards the City’s local matching obligation for 5307 Urbanized Area
Formula Grants.
Funds from the Nebraska Public Transportation Assistance Program are competitive, and
the City must complete a new application every year. On April 14, 2020, via Resolution
No. 2020-91, City Council approved applications to be submitted administratively, with
the agreement being present to City Council for approval.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 223 / 358

Assistance Program funding in the amount $187,101 for the period of July 1, 2020 to
June 30, 2021.

referred to as the Regulations), which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this
Agreement.
(2) Nondiscrimination: The contractor, with regard to the work performed by it after award and
prior to completion of the contract work, will not discriminate on the ground of handicap, race, color

discrimination prohibited by Section 21.5 of the Regulations, including employment practices when
the contract covers a program set forth in Appendix “A”, “B” and “C” of Part 21 of the Regulations.
(3) Solicitations for Subcontracts, including Procurements of Materials and Equipment: In all
solicitations either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the contractor for work to be
performed under a subcontractor, including procurements of materials or equipment, each potential
subcontractor or supplier shall be notified by the contractor of the contractor’s obligations under this
Agreement and the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the ground of handicap, race, color
or national origin.
(4) Information and Reports: The contractor will provide all information and reports required by
the Regulations, or orders and instructions issued pursuant thereto, and will permit access to its
books, records, accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by the
State Highway Department or the Federal Highway Administration to be pertinent to ascertain

Transportation Planning Program
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
All agreements must be approved by the City Council and will be acted on when
agreements are received from the Nebraska Department of Transportation. In March 2013
the City of Grand Island was designated as an urbanized area with a population over
50,000 which require the metropolitan area to establish a transportation planning process
in accordance to Title 23 CFR 450 of the current federal transportation bill. As a
requirement in this process, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) develops
annually a Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) describing the work activities and
funding required by the Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
(GIAMPO) to carry-out these mandates.
The total cost of the Eligible Planning Activities under the agreement is currently
estimated to be $110,235.00, with the federal share estimated to be $88,188.00, and the
MPO’s share estimated to be $22,047.00.
Discussion
The Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) has drawn up a
Unified Planning Work Program with the City of Grand Island for the purpose of
assisting the Local Public Agency (LPA) in obtaining Federal approval and financial
assistance to ensure a continued, comprehensive, and cooperative transportation planning
process between the state and local governments for the Grand Island Metropolitan
Planning Area for fiscal year 2022 (July 1, 2021- June 30, 2022).
The attached Exhibit “A” Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
(GIAMPO), Unified Planning Work Program describes the work to be carried out in
accordance with 23 U.S.C. Section 134 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation
Act (FAST Act), Transportation Bill and has been reviewed and approved by the
GIAMPO Policy Board, Nebraska Department of Transportation, Federal Highway
Administration, and Federal Transit Administration.

WHEREAS, MPO desires that MPO’s attached UPWP be developed under the designation of
Project No. PLG-1 (59), and has authorized the City of Grand Island’s Mayor to sign this
Agreement, as evidenced by the Resolution of City Council, attached as Exhibit “B”,
and incorporated herein by this reference.
3.3 Purpose
MPO wishes to be reimbursed with PL Funds for Eligible Planning Activities. MPO
understands that FHWA will not provide funding directly to MPO; but will provide
reimbursement by State with Federal funds for Eligible Planning Activities. State,
pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 39-1305, will act under this Agreement as a steward of
federal funds and as a liaison between MPO and FHWA. The purpose of this
Agreement is to set forth the understanding of MPO and State concerning their
respective duties to enable the planning activities to be eligible for federal-aid funding.
Under this Agreement, MPO shall continue to have all duties concerning any aspect of
the planning processes. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any duty
of State to MPO concerning such matters. In the event that State or FHWA find that the
planning activities are ineligible for PL Funding, MPO will repay State all previously paid
federal funds, as determined by State, and any costs or expenses State has incurred
under this Agreement. MPO further agrees that MPO shall have no claim or right of
action against State under this Agreement if FHWA determines that planning activities
are not eligible in whole or in part, for Federal-aid funding. The following sections of this
Agreement include the eligibility requirements and other conditions State believes in
good faith that MPO must meet for MPO to be reimbursed with PL Funding.
MPO acknowledges that many conditions must be met by MPO in order to receive
Federal-aid reimbursement. MPO agrees to develop its UPWP in an effort to meet all
federal eligibility requirements so the planning activities may be determined eligible for
PL Funding.
3.4 MPO RESPONSIBILITIES
3.4.1 MPO shall meet all federal transportation planning requirements and shall select
and manage necessary committees and staff, and consult, collaborate and
coordinate with State to accomplish the Eligible Planning Activities.
3.4.2 MPO shall select qualified personnel as needed to complete the Eligible Planning
Activities, and oversee any consultants selected to perform such activities. MPO
shall submit to State a listing of all qualified personnel that may be selected or
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 263 / 358
UL Page 5 of 20
Agreement No. UL2112
assigned to the work contemplated therein prior to submitting the first invoice to
State. Said listing shall indicate each person’s job title or classification,
qualifications, and salary range. MPO may make occasional temporary changes
to qualified personnel. However, MPO shall submit an updated list to reflect
permanent changes to qualified personnel.
3.4.3 MPO, when choosing to use a consultant to complete Eligible Planning Activities
under this Agreement, shall follow all guidelines and requirements outlined in
State’s LPA Guidelines Manual for Federal Aid Projects (“LPA Guidelines
Manual”) in regard to the method of procurement, evaluation, selection, and
contract types. The selected consultant must be certified to provide
Transportation Planning Services by State. MPO shall be responsible to
determine that the consultant is qualified to provide the expertise and
experienced personnel to accomplish the required work product. Price cannot be
a selection factor when hiring for professional engineering or architectural
services. MPO shall follow any applicable requirements including, but not limited
to, requirements defined in Chapter 4 of LPA Guidelines Manual.
3.4.4 MPO shall arrange for and conduct meetings and conferences to review working
details and make presentations to the principals, participants and other interested
groups and bodies as will best promote and effect cooperation, coordination and
understanding in the UPWP.
3.4.5 MPO shall obtain written approval from State and FHWA when, after consultation
with State, MPO determines that amendments to the UPWP are necessary. MPO
shall obtain written concurrence from State when, after consultation with State,
MPO determines that administrative modifications to the UPWP are necessary.
3.4.6 MPO shall only seek reimbursement for actual costs incurred for Eligible
Planning Activities. The salaries and expenses of the Chair or members of
GIAMPO’s Board will not be reimbursed as an Eligible Planning Activity.
3.4.7 MPO shall submit accurate and complete invoices in accordance with
SECTION 8. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY of this Agreement, and shall
provide additional documentation when requested by State. MPO shall be solely
responsible for all costs not reimbursed under this Agreement.
3.4.8 MPO shall keep signed time records detailing time spent on Eligible Planning
Activities, including the date and hours worked. When requested by State, MPO
shall submit time records to State.
Grand Island Council Session - 6/22/2021 Page 264 / 358
UL Page 6 of 20
Agreement No. UL2112
3.4.9 MPO agrees that it is ultimately responsible for complying with all Federal and
State requirements and policies applicable to Federal-aid planning activities.
MPO understands that failure to meet any eligibility requirements for PL Funding
may result in the loss of all PL Funds. In the event that the acts or omissions of
the RC, MPO or its agents or representatives result in a finding that planning
activities are ineligible for PL Funds, MPO will repay State all previously paid PL
Funds, as determined by State, including but not limited to, any costs reimbursed
for the time and expenses of the RC.
3.5 STATE RESPONSIBILITIES
3.5.1 Complete the duties assigned to State in this Agreement.
3.5.2 Determine and notify MPO of the estimate of PL Funding availability, including
carry-over and annual allocation target.
3.5.3 Provide technical assistance to MPO regarding PL Funding eligibility issues,
when requested by MPO.
3.5.4 Verify all invoices submitted by MPO are complete, accurate, and represent
actual costs for Eligible Planning Activities.
3.5.5 Pay MPO the federal share of the actual costs of Eligible Planning Activities as
reflected on an approved invoice.

Subject:Approving Relocation Compensation to Construction
Rental, Inc. in Connection with Old Potash Highway
Roadway Improvements; Project No. 2019-P-1
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
On October 8, 2019, via Resolution No. 2019-306, City Council approved the acquisition
of 3505 W Old Potash Highway from Reece Construction Co., Inc., in the amount of
$696,000.00, to allow for improvements along the Old Potash Highway corridor. The
driveway that served 3505 W Old Potash Highway was too close to the intersection of
Old Potash Highway and US Highway 281, with the proposed improvements not
allowing for the driveway to remain and still provide a safe roadway.
The business, Construction Rental, previously located at 3505 W Old Potash Highway
has relocated to 3974 Westgate Road.
Discussion
The Construction Rental property at the corner of Old Potash and Highway 281 was
acquired in December of 2019. At the time of the negotiation and purchase of the
property, a relocation report was generated by Midwest ROW. Similar to an appraisal of
the value of the property, this report outlines the cost of relocating the business due to the
purchase of the property. Nebraska Department of Transportation has guidelines in this
process and these guidelines were followed in generating this report. Relocation expenses
were mentioned with the council action on purchasing the property.
There was an extensive amount of personal property within the business location that was
relocated from 3505 W Old Potash Highway to 3974 Westgate Road. Efforts were made
to identify all items to be moved through the business relocation study. A replacement
site had not been identified when the business relocation study was prepared and
therefore estimates to move some items could not be anticipated. The business relocation
study noted that additional costs would be incurred in order to move to the replacement
property. This displaced business has submitted paid receipts for reimbursement for the
following incurred expenses associated with their relocation. These expenses are
qualified under the NDOT guidelines mentioned above.
