Property and Surrounding Area North of Capital Avenue
and West of Broadwell Avenue
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
Staff is recommending amendments to the future land use map for the city Grand Island
for the area around the former veterans’ home. The proposed changes are consistent with
the Veteran’s Legacy Plan. The current designation for this area identifies the future land
use a public. The Veteran’s Legacy Plan envisions a variety of recreational uses along
with commercial, office and residential development across the site. These change swill
facilitate the redevelopment of this property.
The memo and recommendation sent to the Planning Commission is attached
Discussion
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held October 6, 2021 the
above item was considered following a public hearing. Hearing for both the future land
use map change and a recommendation on the redevelopment plan were held at the same
time.
O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity stated the Future Land Use Map from the Grand Island Comprehensive
Plan identified the area of the Veteran’s Home as public. The updated Veterans
Legacy Project Master Plan shows uses of mixed use developments with some
commercial, residential, housing and office uses. Based on the proposed
development in the area it is appropriate to consider changes to the future land use
map that would allow for more of a mixed use designation. The proposed
changes facilitate development north of Capital Ave in accordance to the vision of
the Veterans Legacy Project Master Plan. These changes would allow for the
creation of a mixed use developments north of Capital Ave and South of Airport

Agenda Item #4
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
September 20, 2022
SUBJECT:Future Land Use Map Change (C-01-23GI)
PROPOSAL:This proposal includes approximately 700 acres of land north of Capital
Ave, west of Broadwell Ave, south of Airport Rd and east of US Highway 281. Staff is
recommending amendments to spur development within the area and in the recognition
of the change of status of the Old Veteran’s Home property from public to private
ownership. Changes to the Future Landuse Map would allow for consistency with the
zoning as it stands today. As shown in the area outlined in blue on the map below the
northeast 57 acres is planned for Parks and Recreation and the remaining 643 acres
was designated as Public. The property is located within the Grand Island municipal
limits.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 6 / 360
OVERVIEW
Staff is recommending three amendments to the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan and
Future Land Use map within the area outlined in blue on the map. The first would
extend the park and recreation designation south of its current location to encompass
approximately 78 acres of existing park infrastructure including softball, baseball, soccer
and football fields along Broadwell Ave. The second is to change the proposed future
use of the former Veterans Home site approximately 44 acres north of Capital Ave from
public to mix use office. The third is to change approximately 464 acres from public to
mix used commercial. These changes as proposed will allow for some flexibility in the
development across the area
A map of the requested changes is shown below.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 7 / 360
EVALUATION:
The Grand Island Comprehensive Plan and this Future Land Use Map were approved in
2004. With the development anticipated at the former Veteran’s Home site, staff is
recommending changes that would align with the current zoning district and the
proposed development.
This property was in the Grand Island City Limits and was initially designated to be used
for Pubic purposes. Based on the proposed development in the area it is appropriate to
consider changes to the future land use map that would allow for more of a mixed use
designation.
The proposed changes facilitate development north of Capital Ave in accordance to the
vision of the Veterans Legacy Project Master Plan. These changes would allow for the
creation of a mixed use developments north of Capital Ave and South of Airport Rd.
While preserving property for public uses around Eagle Scout Park, the Veteran’s Ball
fields and the Veteran’s Cemetery
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City
Council change the Future Land Use Component of the Grand Island
Comprehensive Plan.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity, AICP
Meeting:October 25, 2022
Subject:Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for CRA Area #16
Liberty Campus GI LLC – Liberty Campus
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP CRA Director
Background
Liberty Campus GI LLC is proposing to redevelop a portion of the former veteran’s
home property. This plan deals specifically with the Pershing and Anderson Buildings at
the southwest corner of the property north of Capital Avenue and east Custer Street
extended. The proposed plan would redevelop these buildings into 48 one and two
bedroom apartments. The units will be available to low income individuals with a
preference for veterans, gold star families and veteran spouses. The property is currently
zoned RO Residential Office and these uses would be consistent with the existing zoning.
Staff has prepared a redevelopment plan for this property consistent with the TIF
application.
The CRA reviewed the proposed development plan on September 21, 2022 and
forwarded it to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission for recommendation at
their meeting on October 5, 2022. The CRA also sent notification to the City Clerk of
their intent to enter into a redevelopment contract for this project pending Council
approval of the plan amendment.
The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing on the plan
amendment at a meeting on October 5, 2022. The Planning Commission approved
Resolution 2023-01 in support of the proposed amendment, declaring the proposed
amendment to be consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City of
Grand Island. The CRA approved Resolution 410 forwarding the redevelopment plan
along with the recommendation of the planning commission to the City Council for
consideration.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 10 / 360
Discussion
Tonight, Council will hold a public hearing to take testimony on the proposed plan
(including the cost benefit analysis that was performed regarding this proposed project)
and to enter into the record a copy of the plan amendment that would authorize a
redevelopment contract under consideration by the CRA.
Council is being asked to approve a resolution approving the cost benefit analysis as
presented in the redevelopment plan along with the amended redevelopment plan for
CRA Area #28 and authorizes the CRA to execute a contract for TIF based on the plan
amendment and to find that this project would not be financially feasible at this location
without the use of TIF. The redevelopment plan amendment specifies that the TIF will
be used to offset allowed costs for the acquisition of the property as well as the site work,
renovation and utilities. The cost benefit analysis included in the plan finds that this
project meets the statutory requirements for as eligible TIF project and that it will not
negatively impact existing services within the community or shift additional costs onto
the current residents of Grand Island and the impacted school districts. The bond for this
project will be issued for a period of 15 years. The proposed bond for this project will be
issued for the amount of $715,000
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve the resolution
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
The CRA and Hall County Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Council
approve the Resolution necessary for the adoption and implementation of this plan.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution as submitted.

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

will be preserved with this project. The developer intends to make the units available to
persons aged 55 and over with a preference for veterans, gold star families and the

and honor the history of the Veterans’ Home.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 18 / 360
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.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $715,000 in public funds from tax increment
financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be
required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$16,715,000 in private sector financing; a private investment of $23.78 for every TIF
dollar invested.
Use of Funds Source of funds
Description TIF Funds Private
Funds
Total
Building Acquisition $3,060,000 $3,060,000
Renovation Costs $10,170,000 $10,170,000
Demolition $380,000 $380,000
Grading/Dirtwork $200,000 $200,000
Planning (Arch. & Eng.) $135,000 $355,000 $490,000
Financing fees/ audit $320,000 $320,000
Legal/ TIF contract $160,000 $160,000
Developer Fees $1,450,000 $1,450,000
Other $1,200,000 $1,200,000
Total $715,000 $16,715,000 $17,430,000
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2024,
valuation of approximately $5,085,000. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $110,262. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $4,685,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $101,589 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be
required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment
costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2023 assessed value: $400,000
Estimated value after completion $5,085,000
Increment value $4,685,000
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$101,598
TIF bond issue $715,000
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 19 / 360
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $400,000. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $4,685,000. A tax shift of
$715,000 is anticipated from the project. It is not anticipated that any additional tax
burdens will be assumed by public entities as a result of this 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 in any significant way. Fire and police protection are available and should not be
negatively 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;
This will provide additional residential options in Grand Island.
(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 in any manner
different from any other similar housing projects within the Grand Island area.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have a minimal impact on the Grand Island School
system as it will likely not result in any increased attendance. The plan for
this development is that the units will be marketed to seniors aged 55 and older
with a preference for veterans. This does not preclude the possibility of renting to
non-veterans or those younger than age 55. The majority of the units to be
developed with this project are one bedroom units (Anderson building 10 of 17;
Pershing Building 25 of 31) and unlikely to be a family units, especially for
families with school age children, with the rest planned as two bedroom units
(Anderson 7 of 17; Pershing 6 of 31).
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to
2019 according the American Community Survey is 2.61. According to the 2010
census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island was between the ages of 5 and 18.
2020 census number for this population cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of
the 2021 population is less than 18 years of age this is the same percentage as the
under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the averages hold it would be expected that there
would be a maximum of 25 school age children generated by this development
though that is mitigated by the fact that there a majority (35 of 48) of these units
are 1 bedroom units. If the one bedroom units are excluded a maximum of 7
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 20 / 360
school age children would be generated by this development
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project is consistent the goals of the Council and the CRA to breath life back into
the Veterans Home property. The property has been vacant since the home moved to
Kearney in 2016. This property was conveyed to the CRA and then immediately to
the developer on July 15, 2020.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed December 2023. The base
tax year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2024. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in 2024 with taxes
due in 2024. 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 $715,000 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 rehabilitation the developer will spend at least $14,000,000.on TIF
eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

TIF will represent some of the soft costs, grading and dirt work and internal
demolition that will be needed as we restore these historic buildings back to life.
This project cannot support any additional debt and remain cash flow positive which
is why TIF will be such an important part of our capital stack.
Liberty Campus GI, LLC is requesting TIF for the redevelopment of the Anderson and
Pershing buildings on the former Grand Island Veterans Home campus. The campus has
such rich history in serving our veterans, and we want to honor our veterans, our seniors &
their families by revitalizing the Grand Island historic campus into a vibrant inter-generational
facility.
Imagine a space that is not only beautiful, but safe, family-friendly, vibrant and salutes our
American Veterans. This space includes a beautiful park with an exquisite tribute to our
veterans, affordable housing for seniors, students and our American heroes, educational
training facilities, and beautiful office space focusing on health and wellness. This
development is centered around providing affordable housing to the community while
supplementing the campus with appropriate amenities and users.
The redevelopment of the Anderson and Pershing buildings would supply 48 affordable units
to seniors with a preference to veterans and their families.The rest of the redevelopment of
the campus will also occur over the coming years in various phases.
We feel this revitalized campus would help solve the housing needs in Grand Island while
bringing in elements that will support local residents and pay tribute to the campus’ rich
American history. It will be creating a standard of a community that is not even approachable
with out the Tax Deferment that TIF offers.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity, AICP
Meeting:October 25, 2022
Subject:Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for CRA Area #34
KER Enterprises LLC – Castaways
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP CRA Director
Background
KER Enterprises LLC is proposing to develop property north of Faidley Avenue and east
of Claude Road for commercial purposes including a family entertainment center with
miniature golf, laser tag, axe throwing, duck pin bowling, and an arcade along with food
and drink. The property is currently zoned B2 General Business and these uses would be
consistent with the existing zoning. Staff has prepared a redevelopment plan for this
property consistent with the TIF application.
The CRA reviewed the proposed development plan on September 21, 2022 and
forwarded it to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission for recommendation at
their meeting on October 5, 2022. The CRA also sent notification to the City Clerk of
their intent to enter into a redevelopment contract for this project pending Council
approval of the plan amendment.
The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing on the plan
amendment at a meeting on October 5, 2022. The Planning Commission approved
Resolution 2023-02 in support of the proposed amendment, declaring the proposed
amendment to be consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City of
Grand Island. The CRA approved Resolution 409 forwarding the redevelopment plan
along with the recommendation of the planning commission to the City Council for
consideration.
Discussion
Tonight, Council will hold a public hearing to take testimony on the proposed plan
(including the cost benefit analysis that was performed regarding this proposed project)
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 77 / 360
and to enter into the record a copy of the plan amendment that would authorize a
redevelopment contract under consideration by the CRA.
Council is being asked to approve a resolution approving the cost benefit analysis as
presented in the redevelopment plan along with the amended redevelopment plan for
CRA Area #34 and authorizes the CRA to execute a contract for TIF based on the plan
amendment and to find that this project would not be financially feasible at this location
without the use of TIF. The redevelopment plan amendment specifies that the TIF will
be used to offset allowed costs for the acquisition of the property as well as the site work,
grading, streets, utilities, and trails. The CRA will retain 25% of the TIF to reimburse the
City for construction of Claude Road improvements. The cost benefit analysis included in
the plan finds that this project meets the statutory requirements for as eligible TIF project
and that it will not negatively impact existing services within the community or shift
additional costs onto the current residents of Grand Island and the impacted school
districts. The bond for this project will be issued for a period of 15 years. The proposed
bonds for this project will be issued for the amount of $1,420,596 and $473,532 for a total of
$1,894,128
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve the resolution
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
The CRA and Hall County Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Council
approve the Resolution necessary for the adoption and implementation of this plan.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution as submitted.

Five percent of the TIF Revenue will be allocated to the TIF Note to support the Public
Project, which shall be assigned by the Redeveloper to the CRA. The CRA will enter
into a contract with the City to install the Public Project. The City will be reimbursed for
the Public Project by assignment of the TIF Note for the Public Project. The developer is
responsible for and has provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to
cover the costs associated with this project. The Grand Island Community

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

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. 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. This will accomplish the goal of providing for the development of Claude
Road and reducing congestion along Diers Avenue within the City of Grand Island and
encouraging infill development.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to begin in the 2022 year. The commercial
build out will occur before the end of 2023. Claude Road will be extended as is feasible
and budget permits. Excess valuation should be available 15 years beginning with the
2024 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
Family entertainment options are somewhat limited in Grand Island and this has been
exacerbated with the loss of Skate Island and the entertainment options at that facility.
This is an opportunity to encourage new uses that will increase tourism opportunities and
capture local entertainment dollars.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 86 / 360
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.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2019), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $1,420,596 in public funds from tax
increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority
will be required to complete the project. The project should generate an additional
$473,532 that will be available to the City for improvements in the Claude Road corridor.
This investment by the Authority will leverage $5,917,138 in private sector financing and
investment; a private investment of $4.17 for every TIF dollar invested. In addition, over
$440,000 will be generated for Claude Road.
Use of Funds Source of funds
Description TIF Funds Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $1,253,335 $1,253,335
Building Costs $4,434,755 $4,434,755
Sewer $10,370 $10,370
Water $316,315 $316,315
Electric $73,610 $73,610
Public Streets/ sidewalks $299,760 $299,760
Site prep/ Dirt work $167,261 $230,229 $397,490

Other $7,500 $7,500
25% for Claude Road $473,532
Total $1,894,128 $5,917,138 $7,337,734
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2023
valuation of approximately $375,297. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $8,138. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $5,823,482 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $126,275 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for the period of the bonds, but would be used for eligible
private redevelopment costs to enable this project to be realized.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 87 / 360
Estimated 2023 assessed value: $ 375,297
Estimated value after completion $ 6,198,779
Increment value $ 5,823,482
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 126,275
TIF bond issue $ 1,894,128
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $375,297.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $5,823,482. The project
creates additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the project is paid
off along with providing provide for the development and construction of Claude Road.
The tax shift from this project will be equal to the total of the bond principal of
$1,894,128 if fully funded and any associated interest on the bond to be assigned with
contract approval.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
Existing water and waste water facilities will not be negatively impacted by this
development. The electric utility has sufficient capacity to support the development.
This is infill development with services connecting to existing line with capacity. This
development will not result additional students for Grand Island Public Schools. Fire and
police protection are available and should not be negatively impacted by this
development though there will be some increased need for officers and fire fighters as the
City continues to grow whether from this project or others.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This development is expected to result in 9 full time staff and 55-60 part time
employees to staff the facility.
(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 different from any
other expanding business within the Grand Island area. Grand Island does have tight
labor market and part of that is due to the availability and cost of housing.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development is not expected to have any direct impact on student populations as
it does not involve residential uses.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 88 / 360
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
Twenty Five percent of the increment generated approximately $440,000 will be
made available to the City of Grand Island for the development of Claude Road to the
north and west of this property.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between Fall of 2022 and the
end of 2023. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the property as of
January 1, 2023. Excess valuation should be available for this project beginning in 2024
with taxes due in 2025. 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 a base amount of $1,894,128 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 rehabilitation the developer will spend at least $2,500,000 on TIF
eligible activities without including City expenditures on Claude Road.

Meeting:October 25, 2022
Subject:Request of Coranco Great Plains, Inc. on behalf of LPB,
LLC for Conditional Use Permit for a Temporary Trailer
located at 704 W. 3rd Street, Grand Island, NE
Presenter(s):Craig Lewis, Building Department Director
Background
This request is for approval of a conditional use permit to allow for the extended
placement of a soil vapor extraction trailer to facilitate the removal of free phase
petroleum from soil and groundwater at 724 W. 3rd. Street. The site is currently zoned (B-
3) Heavy Business. Trailers and temporary buildings are only allowed within this zoning
classification if approved by the City Council in the form of a conditional use permit
limited to two years.
The original permit was granted on October 27, 2020 for a two year period.
Discussion
This proposal is to allow for the continued use of the trailer at the site to aid in the clean-
up of soil and groundwater contaminates. The proposed length of time was for five years,
however the City code provides a two year approval. The site location is such that it has
not appeared to have any negative impact on the neighboring properties, and no concerns
have been presented.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the request for a conditional use permit finding that the proposed use
is a listed conditional use in the zoning code and that it will not be detrimental
to public health, safety, and the general welfare of the community.
2.Disapprove or/Deny the request finding that the proposal dose not conform to
the purpose of the zoning regulations.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 116 / 360
3.Modify the request to meet the wishes of the Council
4.Refer the matter to a special committee for a determination of a finding of
fact.
5.Table the issue.
Recommendation
City Staff recommends that the Council approve the request finding that the proposal
does promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the community, does protect the
property against blight and depreciation, and is generally harmonious with the
surrounding neighborhood.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the request for a conditional use permit to allow for the continued use of
a temporary vapor extraction facility for an additional two year period, with the
possibility of extensions finding that the applications does conform with the provisions of
the zoning regulations.

Item F-2
#9903 - Consideration of Approving Salary Ordinance
Staff Contact: Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 126 / 360
Council Agenda Memo
From:Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Meeting:October 25, 2022
Subject:Consideration of Approving Salary Ordinance No. 9903
Presenter(s):Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Background
The salary ordinance for employees of the City of Grand Island comes before Council
when changes are necessary. The following explains the proposed changes to the salary
ordinance.
Discussion
AFSCME
The proposed salary ordinance recognizes the changes to the collective bargaining
agreement between the City of Grand Island and the Nebraska Public Employees, Local
251 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO
effective October 23, 2022.
The ordinance amends the following:
Adds the Library Assistant I and Library Assistant II classifications,
Increases shift differential to $1.00 per hour,
Amends longevity pay rates, and
Amends wages for the classifications in the collective bargaining agreement. This
ordinance will also amend the non-union part time Library Assistant I and II
classifications.
EVIDENCE TECHNICIAN
The Grand Island Police Department is requesting the addition 1.5 FTE civilian Evidence
Technician positions. Prior to September 15, 2022 the Police Department’s Evidence
Division was run by one (1) full time sworn Police Officer and two (2) full time civilian
Evidence Technicians. The Police Department has understood that there would be a
future need to add additional staff to the Evidence Division beyond the three (3) full time
employees that were working the division prior to September 15, 2022. Evidence and
property handling numbers continue to increase and the Evidence Division has seen
significant increases in the need to process video evidence for defense attorneys and
prosecutors. There has also been a significant increase in the need to process mobile
video and body worn camera evidence.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 127 / 360
Since the Police Department is so short on Police Officers, the department continued to
make filling the fifteen (15) vacant Police Officer positions the main priority and set
aside, for the time being, pursuing adding additional Evidence Division personnel. That
all changed with the recent resignation of the department’s sworn Officer staff member
assigned to the division. We feel that the timing is right to add 1.5 FTE Civilian Evidence
Tech positons to the division to replace the sworn Officer staff member. We understand
that the timing is not great for this request as we just finished with the 2022-2023 fiscal
year budget; however, the recent resignation of the Officer came as a surprise to all of us
and did not occur until after the recent budget was approved. We also understand that it
would not be prudent to move another sworn officer into the Evidence Division since we
are working so short in our Patrol and Criminal Divisions at this time.
The Police Department Administration understands that there will be excess unspent
personnel funds left in our budget at the end of the next two fiscal years, as it will take at
least two years to fill all of our vacant Police Officer Positions. We also know that the top
pay for the Officer’s vacancy would be more than enough personnel cost savings to pay
entry level pay for the entire 1.5 FTE Evidence Tech positions we are requesting.
This ordinance would create an Evidence Technician PT classification to allow for hiring
the 0.5 of the 1.5 FTE request. Wages would mirror the wages of the Evidence
Technician FT classification.
UNIFORMS
Amend the uniform allowance for the Police Chief and Police Captain to match the FOP
labor agreement. This item was inadvertently omitted from the previous salary ordinance.
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 proposed Salary Ordinance
No. 9903.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Salary Ordinance No. 9903.

Grand Island Police Department
Supplemental Report
Date, Time:10-17-22
Reporting Officer:Sgt Dvorak #309
Unit #:CID
Morwenna Limper has applied to become the new liquor manager for the Riverside
Golf Club. Limper indicates that she is married, to Travis Limper. Morwenna and
her husband reside in Hastings, and appear to have been Nebraska residents for
several years. Travis submitted and signed a Spousal Affidavit of Non
Particpation form.
I utilized local Spillman files, Nebraska NCJIS, and a paid law enforcement only
database to check the backgrounds of Morwenna and Travis. Neither have any
entries in our local Spillman database. I noted that neither had warrants for
their arrest. No convictions were listed on the application. I found some minor
traffic incidents in State files, but all were warnings and there were no other
arrests or convictions for either spouse.
State files indicate that Morwenna has been sued civilly four times. It appears
that these were all collections actions. The last one was in 2021, and the
record indicates that the debt has been paid. The paid law enforcement only
database generally covers civil concerns as well as personal residence and
contact history. Morwenna had one civil judgement from more than ten years ago,
while Travis had no entries of concern.
I noted that Morwenna has worked in retail establishments for a number of years,
and was an assistant manager for a large retail business in Hastings. Morwenna
has already completed her online State alcohol servers training. My research
found no details that would preclude approval of this request.
I spoke to Marwenna by phone on 10-18-22, and I stressed that communication and
cooperation with GIPD are asked for and expected for any problems she might
encounter as liquor manager. Morwenna advised she understood.
The Grand Island Police Department does not object to Morwenna Limper being
named the Liquor Manager for Riverside Golf Club.

Item G-9
#2022-297 - Approving Extension of Option to Lease Agreement -
Grand Island Children's Museum
Staff Contact: Jerry Janulewicz
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 216 / 360
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator
Meeting:October 25, 2022
Subject:Extension of Option to Lease Agreement-Grand Island
Children’s Museum
Presenter(s):Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator
Background
At the February 22, 2022, the City Council approved a resolution to enter into an option
to lease agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Grand Island Children’s Museum, Inc.
(the “Museum”), which is seeking to establish a Children’s Museum in Grand Island.
After a search of properties in Grand Island, the Museum determined that the City-owned
former Nebraska Guard Amory Building on Old Potash Highway would be an excellent
location for such a facility. The Agreement contains the following elements:
1.The Museum was granted an option to lease the property at nominal rent per year.
The option to lease will terminate on March 1, 2023 if not exercised by the
Museum. The option to lease is contingent upon the Museum receiving funds and
pledges totaling at least $7,000,000.00 by January 1, 2023.
2.Upon exercise of the option to lease, the property would be leased to the Museum
with an option to purchase the property during the lease term. The City would
retain the easterly 40 feet of the property.
3.The property must be used for a children’s museum open to all members of the
public.
4.The Museum shall be solely responsible for the cost of all improvements and
renovations to the Premises, which shall include, but not be limited to, updated
HVAC, electric, and other building systems, and parking lot improvements.
5.The Museum shall keep the building and Premises in good condition and repair.
6.At any point during the lease, the Museum shall have the option to purchase the
Premises from the City at a predetermined price subject to public remonstrance
and election as provided by Nebraska Revised Statutes.
The City’s Parks and Recreation Department currently uses the building for equipment
storage. The 2022-23 budget did not include funds for acquisition of replacement storage
facilities.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 217 / 360
Discussion
The Museum has been unable to raise donations and pledges in the amounts previously
anticipated and is requesting a one-year extension of the option to lease and the date by
which it must demonstrate it has received at least $7,000,000 in funds and pledges. If the
resolution is approved by the City Council, the Agreement will be amended to provide

From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:October 25, 2022
Subject:Approving Change Order #1 for Water System Uranium
Removal System
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The City’s municipal water system is supplied primarily from its Platte River Well Field.
This well field is comprised of 21 wells and a pumping station. Testing for State regulatory
requirements in 2010 indicated composite uranium levels to be approaching the Maximum
Containment Level (MCL) established by the EPA. On February 14, 2012 Council approved
a uranium removal water treatment plant at the wellfield with 10 year contract with Water
Remediation Technology to maintain the system. In the last ten years the system has
successfully kept the uranium levels well below the MCL.
The original contract was for ten years and expired in June of 2022. City Council approved
the next ten-year term of services starting in June 2022 on March 8, 2022 in the amount of
$921,690.00 adjusted annually and $226,825.00 for the proposed system maintenance and
modifications.
Discussion
The equipment maintenance upgrades to the vessels to improve system flow and repair the
interior lining was estimated in the amount of $226,825.00. Water Remediation Technology
has determined the cost for the piping will be $221,630.00 and the labor to install the laterals
and controls will be $21,190.00. This has a total cost of $242,820.00 for an additional
$29,350.00 including tax.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The
Council may:
1.Move to approve

Meeting:October 25, 2022
Subject:Approving Bid Award for Drainage Ditch Grading,
Excavating, and Hauling 2022-2023
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
Specialty equipment/operators are hired by the Streets Division to clean and grade large
outfall ditches each year. The price per hour of such services has increased so the jobs are
approaching the procurement point in which formal quotes are required. The timeline of
the ditch work is weather dependent and is usually done when the Streets Division has
staff to provide the hauling. These timelines can be difficult to forecast making the
process of securing quotes from various vendors also difficult. The formal bid process
streamlines the acquisition of such as-needed services.
Bidders were given the opportunity to write-in equipment that they own/operate that
could be used for drainage ditch grading, excavating, and hauling that was not
specifically requested on the bid form. The write-in bid items gives the City more
equipment options that otherwise would go unknown.
Discussion
Bids were sent to seven (7) potential bidders. One (1) bid was received and opened on
October 13, 2022. Below is the bid award recommendation.

Program

From:Allan Zafft, MPO Program Manager
Meeting:October 25, 2022
Subject:Approving Supplemental Agreement No. 1 with NDOT-
Local Assistance Division for the Grand Island Area
Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) for the
2023 Fiscal Year TRANSIT, Section 5305,
Transportation Planning Program
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
All agreements must be approved by the City Council. In March 2013 the City of Grand
Island was designated as a urbanized area with a population over 50,000 which requires
the metropolitan area to establish a transportation planning process in accordance with
Title 23 CFR.
The Nebraska Department of Transportation-Local Assistance Divison has drawn up
Program Agreements with the City of Grand Island for the purpose of assisting the Local
Public Agency (LPA) in obtaining Federal 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 2023.
On August 9, 2022, via Resolution No. 2022-211, City Council approved the Planning
Agreement for Fiscal Year 2023. The approval of such agremeent is with the maximum
Federal Transit Administration, Section 5305 Funding, at 80% and a not to exceed
amount of $31,260.00 for FY 2023 (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023) eligible costs. The
local 20% funds would be the City’s obligation not to exceed $7,815.00 and can be part
of inkind services (staff time & expenses).
Discussion
Due to closing out prior fiscal year funding it is necessary to move remaining funds from
the original agremeent to the current agreement.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 253 / 360
Agreement No. PT2112, Control No. 00546Z, Project No. RPT-C990(222)
remaining federal funds in the amount of $37,456.24 will be moved to the current
Agreement No. PI2212; Control No. 01050, Project No. NE-X80(028)
With approval of the remaining funds moving from the prior fiscal year to the agremeent
currently in place, funding under Agreement No. PI2212; Control No. 01050, Project No.
NE-X80(028) will increase by $37,456.24, up from $31,260.00, resulting in a revised
amount of $68,716.24. The revised local 20% funds would be the City’s obligation not to
exceed $17,179.06. All terms and conditions of the original agreement will remain in full
force and effect.
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 authorizing the
Mayor to sign the supplemental agreement.

Meeting:October 25, 2022
Subject:Approving Change Order No. 2 for Final Clarifier No. 1
Renovation; Project No. 2021-WWTP-3
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
Fab Tech Wastewater Solutions, LLC of O’Fallon, Missouri was awarded a $192,000.00
contract on May 25, 2021, via Resolution No. 2021-118, for Final Clarifier No. 1
Renovation; Project No. 2021-WWTP-3.
On August 10, 2021, via Resolution No. 2021-197, City Council approved Change Order
No. 1 to allow additional time for completion of work involved with Final Clarifier No. 1
Renovation; Project No. 2021-WWTP-3, with no change in the contract amount.
This project involves the renovation of Final Clarifier No. 1, which consists of labor and
installation of parts procured through Ovivo USA, LLC, and painting of both existing and
new clarifier components.
The final clarifiers are used to settle out the microorganisms present in wastewater. The
bacteria-laden water flows out, from a column at the center of the round tank, toward the
edges; only the cleanest skim is allowed to flow out of the tank. The settled
microorganisms are either funneled back towards the aeration basins (to go through the
activated sludge process again) or disposed of by being sent to solids handling to be used
as landfill cover soil.
Discussion
As work on Final Clarifier No. 1 Renovation; Project No. 2021-WWTP-3 has progressed
corroded components have been discovered. As this time staff is requesting Change
Order No. 2 to the project to allow for replacement of the plow blades at the bottom of
the clarifier, as the existing blades were found to be badly corroded; as well as
installation of a new stainless steel diversion gate due to the existing aluminum gate
failing due to corrosion.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 262 / 360
The cost associated with Change Order No. 2 is $13,310.00, resulting in a revised
contract agreement amount of $205,310.00. The contractor is also requesting a time
extension for Substantial Completion from September 16, 2022 to November 1, 2022;
and Final Completion from September 30, 2022 to November 15, 2022.

#2022-307 - Resolution Directing Property Owner to Repair
Sidewalk at 1715 Bass Road, 1320 N Broadwell Avenue and 239 S
Plum Street
Staff Contact: Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 267 / 360
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Meeting:October 25, 2022
Subject:Resolution Directing Property Owner to Repair Sidewalk
at 1715 Bass Road, 1320 N Broadwell Avenue and 239 S
Plum Street
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
Public Works Engineering and Code Enforcement have been working effectively through
sidewalk complaints received from citizens in the community. The process set in place
has been once a complaint is received by either office an Engineering Technician from
the Public Works Department performs a site inspection, marking any areas of the public
sidewalk that do not meet the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements. Code
Enforcement then attempts to work with the property owner to take the necessary action.
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.
Discussion
An Engineering Technician evaluated the condition of the public sidewalk at the
following locations and deemed each to be out of compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA).
1715 Bass Road (Lot 5, Rainbow Lake Second Subdivision, City of Grand Island,
Hall County, Nebraska); and
1320 North Broadwell Avenue (Lot 272, West Lawn Addition, City of Grand
Island, Hall County, Nebraska); and
239 South Plum Street (Lot 6, Block 1, Koehler Place, an addition to the City of
Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska).
Both Code Enforcement and Public Works Engineering staff have tried to reach a
resolution with the property owners to make the necessary repairs, to no avail. A
summary sheet for property contact is attached for reference.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 268 / 360
On October 13, 2022 a letter was sent to the affected property owners notifying them the
matter would be presented to City Council on October 25, 2022 to prevent accident or
injury to citizens using the public sidewalk.
The Public Works Department is requesting that a resolution be passed giving the
property owners of the identified addresses 15 days to obtain the sidewalk permit and 15
days from issuance of such permit to complete the repairs of the public sidewalk, as this
is a public safety concern.
If the property owners fail 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
identified property owners to obtain a permit and repair the sidewalk at the subject
locations.
Sample Motion
Move to approve a resolution.

"Union"). The provisions of this agreement shall be effective October 123, 201822.
PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE PARTIES
The purpose of the City and the Union entering this labor agreement is to promote

ARTICLE II - HOURS OF WORK
A. SCHEDULES OF WORK
The City shall establish the work week, work day, and hours of work. The work week,
work day and hours of work may vary according to the special requirements of any division or
program. Work schedules shall be arranged, to the extent possible, with five consecutive work
days followed by two consecutive days off. A two-week notice will be given to union members if
the work schedule will be changed to reflect less than 80 hours in a two-week pay period. Hours
will not fall below 76 in a two-week pay period. This policy will only be in effect for the duration
of this contract.
B. LUNCH PERIODS
The City shall establish the lunch periods. A meal allowance of $10.00 shall be granted
for all employees if they are required to work two (2) hours overtime consecutively with their
normal working hours during an emergency situation, and if such overtime would normally
interfere with and disrupt the employee’s normal meal schedule.
Nothing in this section shall prohibit the City from exceeding the amount of this allowance
or consecutive hour requirement in providing an allowance for emergency situations within the
parameters set by the Local Government Miscellaneous Expenditures Act.
For purposes of this section, “emergency situation” shall mean those times when the City
determines the employee’s presence is needed at work due to weather conditions (i.e. snow storms,
sandbagging, severe windstorm or tornado, etc.) or other unforeseeable events.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 324 / 360
3
C. CHANGES IN WORK SCHEDULE
All changes in work schedules, except in cases of emergency and unexpected special
activities or events, shall be posted for all to see at least two days before the change is effective.
Permanent full-time employees normally assigned to a work schedule commencing
between 4 a.m. and 11 a.m., who are temporarily assigned to a work schedule commencing before
4 a.m., or after 11 a.m., shall receive a shift differential of one dollar $0.25 ($1.00) per hour added
to the base hourly rate for the hours worked during such temporary assignment.
D. REST PERIODS
Employees shall be granted a 15-minute rest period during the approximate middle of each
one-half (1/2) work day, provided however, that the granting of such rest periods shall be at such
times as are the least disruptive of work in progress. If during emergencies or other similar
situations it is not feasible to grant any such rest periods, employees shall not receive pay or
additional time in lieu thereof.
E. OVERTIME AND COMPENSATORY TIME
1. All officially authorized work performed in excess of forty (40) hours a week, shall
be compensated for at the rate of one and one-half (1½) times the excess hours
worked. The compensation shall be in either compensatory time or cash payment.
For the purposes of this section, the term "day" shall mean the period of time from
the scheduled start of the workday to the scheduled start of the next work day.
2. Overtime and compensatory time for work shall be accrued and compensated for
in one-tenth (1/10) hour units.
3. This article is intended to be construed only as a basis for overtime and shall not be
construed as a guarantee of hours of work per day or per week. Overtime shall not
be paid more than once for the same hours worked.
4. For purposes of calculating eligibility for overtime, “hours worked” shall include
actual hours worked and shall include paid holidays and vacation when calculating
overtime. Any payment for time not actually worked (leave time) shall not count
towards the calculation of overtime with this exception; should an employee be
called to emergency service which requires 12 hour shifts due to severe weather
and a holiday occurs in the same pay period, the holiday hours will be counted as
hours worked for the calculation of overtime. Personal days are excluded.
5. An employee shall have the option of accruing compensatory leave time at a rate
of one and one-half (1 ½) times the actual hours worked in lieu of the payment of
overtime. Employees may accrue a maximum of one hundred twenty (120) hours
of compensatory time (80 hours of actual hours worked). The compensatory time
off shall be taken at a time mutually agreed upon by the employee and his/her
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 325 / 360
4
supervisor, but must be taken by the last full pay period in March following the end
of the calendar year in which it is earned; compensatory time remaining at the end
of this period shall be paid for in cash. However, the employee retains the right to
cash out his/her compensatory time at any time. It is understood that the usage of
the compensatory time is to be requested just like annual leave, and may be denied
as may any other annual leave.
All compensatory time must be recorded through the City’s payroll system.
Compensatory time kept by individual employees or their supervisors will not be
recognized and is prohibited.
F. STAND-BY DUTY
1. The City may assign employees to stand-by duty for handling trouble calls on other
than the normal workday.
a. The stand-by duty work week will run from Monday at 5 p.m. the normally
scheduled end time to the following Monday at 8 a.m the normally
scheduled start time.
b. The employee assigned to this duty shall call upon the assigned supervisor
for additional employees when such employee needs help.
2. The compensation for stand-by duty will be eight (8) hours at the employee's basic
rate of pay as shown on the payroll during the employee's stand-by week. Any work
performed on calls during hours, outside of the normal work week, shall be
compensated for at the rate of time and one-half. Overtime for employees performing
such work on call, including those on stand-by, shall be computed to begin fifteen (15)
minutes prior to checking in for the job and to terminate fifteen (15) minutes after
checking out from the job.
3. The employee assigned to this duty shall be available by telephone at all times
under this arrangement. Failure to be available or to make arrangements with another
qualified duty employee who will be available by telephone shall make the employee
ineligible for stand-by duty compensation for the pay period involved.
4. When a recognized holiday, as stated in Article III, Holidays and Holiday Pay, falls
during an employee's assigned stand-by work week, that employee shall be granted a
compensatory holiday to be taken during the week following the stand-by duty
assignment, and at a time approved by the employee's supervisor.
G. CALL-BACK PAY
In the event an employee is called to duty during his or her off-duty time, and such time does
not otherwise merge with his or her regularly-scheduled work schedule, such employee shall be paid
at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee’s base hourly rate times the actual number
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 326 / 360
5
of hours worked, although the employee shall be compensated for no less than two (2) hours at the
enhanced rate. Provided, however, that if the employee called back responds and performs the work
from a remote location without reporting to the worksite, he or she shall be compensated as set forth
above but the minimum compensation will be one (1) hour instead of two (2). Vacation time
requested prior to a call back will not be cancelled.
H. SCHEDULING HOLIDAYS OFF
The scheduling of holidays off shall be done as equitably as possible.
I. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first
Sunday in November in the United States. On the date DST begins, employees will be paid for
actual hours worked (i.e. 7 hours for an 8 hour shift). Employees may use leave balances to
supplement the hour missed due to the time change. On the date DST ends, employees will be
paid for actual hours worked (i.e. 9 hours for an 8 hour shift).
ARTICLE III - HOLIDAYS AND HOLIDAY PAY
A. HOLIDAYS

employees regularly scheduled to work on such days, provided, that an employee may be required

leave status to be paid for the holiday.
D. HOLIDAY ON REGULARLY SCHEDULED WORK DAY

employee's work is essential to maintain necessary public services, the employee shall be paid for
the holiday, plus time and one-half (1/2) for any hours worked on the holiday.
E. HOLIDAY ON NON-SCHEDULED WORK DAY
If an employee is not regularly scheduled to work on a holiday and he or she is called out

holiday shall be paid as overtime.
F. HOLIDAY DURING LEAVE OF ABSENCE
If any of the above-mentioned holidays fall during an employee's authorized paid vacation
or medical leave time, or other paid leave status, such holiday shall not be charged against these
paid absences. If a holiday falls during a period when an employee is in an unpaid leave status, the
employee shall not be paid for the holiday.

ARTICLE XXII- DISCIPLINE AND APPEAL PROCEDURE
The employees of this bargaining unit shall be subject to discipline as set out in this
agreement for just cause as set forth in the City of Grand Island Personnel Rules and Regulations,
Section 3.01 as amended on October 15, 20141, 2022. Should the City at any time during the
course of this agreement amend the City Personnel Rules and Regulations, in regards to discipline,
said amendment shall be proposed to the AFSCME bargaining unit. The bargaining unit shall have
30 days to consider and respond. The parties may agree to adopt such amendment as part of this
contract at that time.
The following Appeal Procedure shall apply to the members of this bargaining unit:
Any employee who has satisfactorily completed his/her initial introductory period of
employment with the City of Grand Island shall have the right to appeal a suspension or a discharge
in accordance with the following procedure:
1. Discipline imposed by the Department Director may be appealed to the Mayor not
later than five (5) working days following written notification of such discipline.
2. The Mayor shall hear such appeal and shall provide the employee with a written
response not later than ten (10) working days following receipt of the appeal.
3. Should the employee be dissatisfied with the Mayor’s response or should the Mayor
have imposed the initial discipline, the employee may appeal to a mediator.
4. If an employee is dissatisfied with the Mayor’s response or should the Mayor have
imposed the initial discipline, the employee or the Union may request non-binding
mediation. The employee or the Union must provide the Human Resources Director
with a written request for mediation within fifteen (15) working days of receiving
the Mayor’s decision. A mediator shall be chose from the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service. If either party is not satisfied with the results of non-binding
mediation, then within fifteen (15) work days of receiving the results of the
mediation, either party may take the grievance to the next step.
5. An employee may request arbitration if they are dissatisfied with the Mediator’s
response. The employee or the Union must provide the Human Resources Director
with a written request for arbitration within fifteen (15) working days of receiving
the Mayor’s decision.
6. The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted by an arbitrator, to be mutually
selected by the parties as soon as practical after the submission of written demand
for arbitration. If the parties are unable to mutually agree as to the selection of an
arbitrator within fifteen (15) working days from receipt of the demand for
arbitration the parties shall jointly request the Federal Mediation and Conciliation
Service to provide a list of seven arbitrators. Each party shall have the right to strike
three names from the list of arbitrators as submitted. The employee requesting
Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2022 Page 348 / 360
27
arbitration shall have the right to strike the first name and the City shall then strike
one name with the same process being repeated so that the person remaining on the
list shall be the arbitrator.
There shall be no appeal from the arbitrator’s decision. It shall be final and binding
on the Union, the City of Grand Island, and on all bargaining unit employees.
Authority of the arbitrator is limited to matters of interpretation or application of
the express provisions of this Agreement and the arbitrator shall have no power or
authority to add to, subtract from, or modify any of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement. In the event the arbitrator finds that he has no authority or power to
rule in the case, the matter shall be referred back to the parties without decision or
recommendation on the merits of the case. The arbitrator shall be requested by the
parties to issue his decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the conclusion of
the hearing.
Parties selecting the arbitrator shall share equally the arbitrator’s expense. Each
party shall be responsible for compensating its own representatives and witnesses.
If a party desires that a record of the testimony be made at the proceedings, it may
cause such a record to be made at its expense; provided, however, that it supplies
the arbitrator and the other party or parties with copies of such record at no expense
to the other party or parties.
7. The arbitrator shall not have jurisdiction to discharge an employee upon an appeal
from a suspension.
8. An employee shall have the right to process an appeal individually, by the Union,
and/or by an Attorney at Law. If an employee elects not to use the Union or its
attorney in the processing of an appeal, the decision of the arbitrator shall not set
binding precedent on the Union.
9. Any time limits contained herein or elsewhere in this Agreement, for the bringing
of, or answering of discipline may be waived by mutual consent of the Union or the
employee and the City.
ARTICLE XXIII - DURATION OF CONTRACT
1. All of the terms, rights, obligations, benefits and conditions of this agreement will
expire on its termination.
2. This agreement shall continue in full force and effect until Midnight on September

4. Either party may reopen this agreement if the City does not adopt a budget
statement and appropriation ordinance and salary ordinance sufficient to fund the
rates of pay and fringe benefits previously agreed upon by the parties.
ARTICLE XXIV- SEVERABILITY
If any of the provisions of agreement are subsequently declared by the proper legislative
or judicial authority to be unlawful, unenforceable, or not in accordance with applicable statutes
or ordinances, all other provisions of the agreement shall remain full force and effect for the
duration of the agreement. Both parties shall then meet and attempt to negotiate a substitute.
