U.S. Highway 30 (Central Nebraska Truck Wash, Inc.) Council action will take place under Resolutions item I-1. Staff Contact: Chad Nabity Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 39 / 372 Council Agenda Memo From:Chad Nabity, AICP Meeting:July 24, 2018 Subject:Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for CRA Area #21 Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP CRA Director Background In 2017, the Grand Island City Council declared property referred to as CRA Area #21 as blighted and substandard The Central Nebraska Truck Wash Inc. has submitted an application for tax increment financing and a redevelopment plan has been prepared that would provide for redevelopment of this property for use as a Cattle Pot and Truck Wash at 2008 and 2030 E. U.S. Highway 30. This property is located east of Stuhr Road between U.S. Highway 30 and the Union Pacific Railroad track, immediately north of the Pump and Pantry on east Highway 30. The CRA reviewed the proposed development plan on June 13, 2018 and forwarded it to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission for recommendation at their meeting on July 11, 2018. 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 July 11, 2018. The Planning Commission approved Resolution 2018-10 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 275 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) and to enter into the record a copy of the plan amendment that would authorize a redevelopment contract under consideration by the CRA. Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 40 / 372 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 #21 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 TIF will be used to offset allowed costs for redevelopment for improvements and expansion of infrastructure including but not limited to: streets, water, sewer, drainage, along with acquisition and demolition and site development costs as allowed by state statute to provide for commercial development of this site as a cattle pot and truck wash. The cost benefit analysis included in the plan finds that this project meets the statutory requirements for an 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 $849,240 which is expected to yield approximately $596,000 that will be available for the project. 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.

Section 18-2113 of the Act requires: Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs, promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight. The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan Amendment. This amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of blighted conditions including demolition of obsolete building and reuse/redevelopment of property within the City Limits. 8. Time Frame for Development Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between August of 2018 and December of 2019. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2020 tax year. Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 50 / 372 9. Justification of Project Demolition, extension of utilities and substantial site grading are necessary to facilitate rebuilding at this site. The redevelopment of this property by Central Nebraska Truck Wash Inc. will result in greater investment by the company in their Grand Island location and will expand their fulltime employee base within the community. The proposed use as a cattle pot (trailer washout) meets a community need to serve the JBS Plant located on the south side of U.S. Highway 30 and the trucking community supported by that facility. 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 $849,240 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 $4,243,375 in private sector financing and investment; a private investment of $5.00 for every TIF dollar invested. Use of Funds. Description TIF Funds Private Funds Total Acquisition $ 568,000 $568,000 Demolition $58,609 $58,609 Site Preparation and Paving $41,287 $926,482 $967,769 Utilities Sewer, Water, Electric $166,170 $166,170 Telecommunications $5,316 $5,316 Arch/Engineering/Planning/Legals/Fees $86,512 $86,512 Building Costs $3,112,565 $3,112,565 Permits $15,174 $15,174 Construction Interest $112,500 TOTALS $849,240 $4,243,375 $5,092,615 Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2018 valuation of approximately $491,539. Based on the 2017 levy this would result in a real property tax of approximately $10,640. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase by $2,615,615 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 51 / 372 development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $56,616 annually. The tax increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment costs to enable this project to be realized. Estimated 2018 assessed value:$ 491,539 Estimated value after completion $ 3,107,154 Increment value $ 2,615,615 Annual TIF generated (estimated)$ 56,616 TIF bond issue $ 849,240 (a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing; The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $491,539. The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $2,615,615. No tax shifts are anticipated from the project. The project creates additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the project is paid off. (b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project; This plan provides extension of utilities from the lot to the mains. No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has sufficient capacity to support the development. It is not anticipated that this will impact schools. Fire and police protection are available and should not be 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 have minimal impact on employers or employees within the redevelopment project area. It will create the opportunity for additional employees within the Grand Island area. (d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project; and This project will not have a negative impact on other employers in any manner different from any other expanding business within the Grand Island area. The Grand Island labor market is tight but this will create additional full time jobs in the regions. This will allow a local company to expand in our community. Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 52 / 372 (e) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project. One of the direct results of this project will be the cattle pot or trailer washout. Because of the JBS facility just south of U.S. Highway 30 there is a real and immediate need for a place that livestock haulers can clean out their trailer before getting back on the road. This particular location is close to the JBS plant but not in a highly visible location. It is ideally suited for a use that is needed to support one of the largest employers in Grand Island and the region. Time Frame for Development Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between August of 2018 and December of 2019. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2018. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in 2019 with taxes due in 2020. 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 $849,520 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 project the developer will spend more than $1,848,000 on TIF eligible activities.

Please Attach Annual Income & Expense Pro Forma (see Exhibit D) (With Appropriate Schedules) Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 56 / 372 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING REQUEST INFORMATION Describe Amount and Purpose for Which Tax Increment Financing is Requested: $849,240 of tax increment financing (based on a 0% lending rate) is being requested to assist in the construction of a five-bay commercial truck wash facility in the vicinity of 2030 East Highway 30 in Grand Island, Nebraska to be operated 7 days a week. The project involves the demolition of two existing structures and the construction of a new steel frame building along with concrete and paving work for the foundation as well as all necessary roadways for traffic flow to and from the truck wash building. All necessary water and sewer hookups will be made to connect to the city water supply. The applicant believes that once the truck wash is up and running, the city will enjoy significant additional revenue from the facility’s use of a currently underutilized electric and sewer systems (approximately $180,000 annually). The truck wash is expected to create 10 to 11 new jobs paying aggregate wages of approximately $425,000 plus benefits. All said, the TIF funds will enable the project to be undertaken, resulting in vast improvements to the condition of the current location, the creation of new jobs, additional revenue to the city in the form water & utility bills and an expanded sales tax base from new customers created by increased traffic flow through the area which should also benefit neighboring businesses. Statement Identifying Financial Gap and Necessity for use of Tax Increment Financing for Proposed Project: Tax increment financing is an integral and essential component to project completion which is contingent upon receipt of the expected tax increment assistance. Feasibility is dependent on TIF funds that will enable the creation of adequate economics in operating the facility at a competitive rate in the specified area (See also Exhibit E for capitalization rate analysis). Municipal and Corporate References (if applicable). Please identify all other Municipalities, and other Corporations the Applicant has been involved with, or has completed developments in, within the last five (5) years, providing contact person, telephone, and fax numbers for each: See Exhibit F XIV.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROJECTION ASSUMPTIONS Twelve Months Ending After Project Completion NOTE A – NATURE AND LIMITATION OF PROJECTIONS The accompanying projection presents, to the best of Central Nebraska Truck Wash, Inc.’s (CNTW’s) knowledge and belief, cash receipts and disbursements for the twelve months ending after project completion to be generated by a commercial truck wash facility (e.g. “the project”) located in Grand Island, Nebraska. Stated cash receipts and disbursements are intended to convey results of operations after the anticipated 2018/2019 completion of the project assuming funding of the estimated construction and acquisition costs of $4,980,115 both with, and in the absence of, tax increment financing assistance. The projection reflects their judgment as of April 19, 2018, the date of this projection, of the expected conditions and their expected course of action. Actual results are likely to differ from the projected results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Those differences may be material. The assumptions disclosed herein are those that management believes are significant to the projections. The projected information was prepared for use in a tax increment financing request to the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority. NOTE B – BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The presentations of cash receipts and disbursements for the projection period and the twelve months ending after project completion portray results using the cash basis of accounting. The results of this basis differ from those using generally accepted accounting principles primarily because the cash basis does not recognize assets other than cash and the debt principal outstanding under the tax increment financing or construction or building loan(s). NOTE C – CASH RECEIPTS Central Nebraska Truck Wash, Inc. is an operator of a 20,000 square foot commercial truck wash facility operating five drive through bays (3-bay manual truck wash and 2-bay automatic truck wash) and one load out bay. Revenue has been determined based on the historical knowledge and experience of the company (and related parties) in the operation of similar facilities in the same locale. The projection assumes the following annual washes at the indicated price per wash: 10,400 cattle washes at $100 per wash, 1,040 hopper washes at $60 per wash, 5,200 reefer washes at $30 per wash, and 4,160 truck-trailer washes at $60 per wash. These numbers fall within the facilities capacity parameters with no initial “build-up” phase. The projection includes two scenarios dependent on whether or not the tax increment financing (TIF) request is approved. In the event of TIF approval, CNTW will receive additional TIF revenue from the County based on the anticipated increase in the assessed value generated by the proposed project and the additional real estate tax that increase will generate. Both the TIF financing and real estate taxes are subject to the final determination of assessed value. NOTE D – CASH DISBURSEMENTS Interest expense and principal debt service are based on the assumption that with the exception of any TIF financing assistance, the entire construction project will be financed through capital contributions from the owners and additional debt incurred to cover the anticipated construction costs using a 20% down and 80% debt-financed ratio. In addition to new construction costs, real estate at the proposed project site and existing debt on that property will also be contributed to the entity. Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 76 / 372 See independent accountants’ report Schroeder & Schreiner, P.C. 7 CENTRAL NEBRASKA TRUCK WASH, INC. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROJECTION ASSUMPTIONS, Continued Twelve Months Ending After Project Completion NOTE D – CASH DISBURSEMENTS, Continued TIF debt is based on an initial $596,616 principal balance that can be serviced with the anticipated incremental real estate tax generated by the project. The loan is expected to have a 15-year term with scheduled monthly payments of $4,718 (annual $56,616) and an interest rate of approximately 5.0%. The remaining construction costs, not funded through tax increment financing, will be satisfied with $785,600 of additional capital contributions and $3,142,399 of bank debt for the residual obligation. All remaining non-TIF construction debt will have a 10-year term. Both loans will have an annual interest rate of approximately 5.0%. Scenarios contemplating the denial of tax increment financing will assume bank debt with the same 20% down ($904,923) 80% financed ($3,619,692) ratio with a 10-year term and an interest rate of approximately 5.0%. In addition to TIF and construction cost debt, an additional $400,195 of debt was assumed when real estate located at the proposed project site securing said debt was contributed by the owners. This debt bears interest at 3.95% with monthly payments of $7,032 and matures July 1, 2020. Projected real estate tax is expected to equal the current tax (for the 2017 year) plus additional tax generated by applying the current levy rate to the anticipated increase in assessed value to be generated by the construction project. Projected costs for employee compensation and benefits (for 10-11 employees); water, sewer and utilities; insurance; waste removal; snow removal; repairs and maintenance; professional fees; and other costs are all based on the experience of CNTW’s shareholders and the expected operating capacity of the facility. Projected member distributions to cover estimated individual income tax (or contributions to reflect estimated income tax benefits) are based on anticipated taxable pass-through income and the highest marginal Federal and State income tax rates of 37.0% and 6.84% respectively after applying a 20% deduction based on the tax law provisions expected to be in effect during the projection period. Although not a cash expenditure, estimated depreciation has been calculated and included in the projection to arrive at net taxable income used in determining these member distributions. Estimated capitalized costs are depreciated under either the straight line method for 39-year life building components or the 150 percent declining balance method for 15-year life paving components. NOTE E – CHANGES IN PRESENTATION Changes have been made to correct the previous presentation dated May 2, 2018. In April, 2018, real estate located at the project site was contributed to the entity and corresponding debt in the amount of $400,195 secured by said real estate was assumed. The earlier presentation inadvertently failed to consider the impact of this transaction to the projected statements of receipts and disbursements. Resulting modifications reflected in these financial statements include changes to note disclosure, interest expense, principal debt service and estimated income tax expense.

These documents provide the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with information on the City of Grand Island's intended use of funds which have been awarded to the City through HUD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The City allocates the annual funding from these programs to public, private or non-profit parties consistent with HUD program goals and requirements. CDBG program objectives include providing decent housing, creating suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities.

There are currently no Prior Year resources which have not been allocated to sub-recipients. The City of Grand Island's Program Income Re-Use Funds do not align with any projects for the 2016-2017,2017-2018 or the 2018-2019 fiscal years.

This means the City will consider projects a priority if the CDBG funds will be used as a leverage to further secure additional funding to conduct a project on a scale much larger than would have been possible with CDBG funds alone. Specific examples in which CDBG dollars could be used as leverage are project proposals to the Nebraska Affordable Housing Trust Fund, NIFA and the State of Nebraska's Civic and Community Center Financing Fund.If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) currently owns multiple properties throughout the City of Grand Island. The CRA is an entity that operates separate from the City, but it is managed by Chad Nabity, the Regional Planning Director for the City of Grand Island. These properties could be used in future development.

Grand Island proposed and approved a housing rehabilitation program in the 2016-2017 Annual Action Plan, through the Purchase, Rehab, Resell program in partnership with the Housing Development Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 135 / 372 Annual Action Plan 2018 17 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Corporation. Repairs will be made to homes that are on the market (homes will be purchased by Housing Development Corporation first) then sold for homeowners who are 80% or less of the area median income (AMI). In the 2018-2019 annual action plan the City of Grand Island is proposing an Owner Occupied Rehab program. The City of Grand Island would partner with the Housing Development Corporation in order for this program to be successful. The Housing Development Corporation would complete much needed repairs on homes within in Grand Island, of these homes 51% of them would be owned by low to moderate income persons.

This includes but is not limited to, consultation efforts, forming Housing Partnerships together and Fair Housing tasks. The City of Grand Island sees the Hall County Housing Authority as a well-run and extremely important asset to the community. The City intends to format CDBG funding in a manner which would help alleviate some of the waiting list pressure and lack of affordable housing issues that are currently hindering the HCHA. These steps are a direct result of the City working directly with the HCHA and gaining better insight on the steps we could be making to strengthen them. In the past, the City of Grand Island worked hand-in-hand with the Hall County Housing Authority, to put Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 136 / 372 Annual Action Plan 2018 18 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) on the very first Housing Improvement Partnership Summit, held in Grand Island. This event was held in partnership with Grow Grand Island and the Nebraska Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authority Officials. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Hall County Housing Authority officials were consulted during the formulation of this Annual Action Plan. It was noted that the work being done such as Public works improvements include waste water project to aid low to moderate income persons who are currently using failing septic tanks, along with placing an emphasis of ADA improvements within the public facilities in Grand Island such as sidewalks and parks, would be of great benefit to LMI persons. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The City of Grand Island has outlined projects in the Annual Plan to address the needs of near homeless families and extremely low income to very low income families. The Public Service grant will provide much needed resources to providers who generally provide direct assistance to individuals and families in extremely low to very low income households. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance The Hall County Housing Authority is not designated as troubled. AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction The need for each community development priority has been identified by the community at large. For this reason, it is difficult to address the broad and changing needs of the homeless and near homeless community on an annual basis with a portion of the CDBG funding. Under this Annual Plan, the City of Grand Island intends to continue offering a public service grant, which public service providers would be able to apply for. This grant could serve to address the housing needs of homeless and near homeless persons and would target persons with very low to extremely low income. This program is promoted widely among the Continuum of Care members , who will then have the opportunity to outline their plan for program execution, therefore the needs met will vary on an annual basis. The questions below, require elaboration on the ways in which the City of Grand Island will be involved in mitigating homeless issues in a variety of ways, but the reality of the situation is that only a certain amount of funds exist and have been allocated to serve this purpose. For that reason, the intent of the Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 137 / 372 Annual Action Plan 2018 19 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) public service grant is to help serve the most prominent need of the homeless and near homeless populations of Grand Island in the most receptive way possible on a year to year basis. The City of Grand Island does have additional opportunities to become involved in programs which support the efforts outlined in the questions below, however, no funding has been allocated by the City of Grand Island to meet these needs, other than the Community Development Block Grant funds. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The City of Grand Island is at a point in which the most beneficial actions for reducing and ending homelessness are to continue to reformat the funding arena for the entities which provide services to these populations. Grand Island is at a point of transition, having reached a population of 50,000 many changes have happened and will continue to happen which will address the way the City of Grand Island and entities approach federal funding. However, in an attempt to provide immediate actions and assistance, the City can encourage and support the Continuum of Care, and other public service providers, in various efforts including direct outreach. Additionally,The City can actively remain aware of the need including direct response opportunities for the homeless and near homeless in any large scale studies or plans the City undertakes. The most efficient manner to achieve this outreach would to be to inform Continuum of Care members of the opportunities for input, and request that they share the opportunities with other service providers. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The proposed Public Service grant reflects the City’s goal to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons within this year. This program will have eligibility options for funding projects which would meet many of the direct service needs of these populations. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again In addition to the availability of the public service grant, which has the potential to benefit all of the Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 138 / 372 Annual Action Plan 2018 20 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) populations outlined above, in the past, the City has also committed to more specifically serve homeless veteran populations and their families through the use of Housing Program Income Re-Use funds for the development and construction of Victory Place, located of the Veteran’s Hospital property. This project provides housing through V.A.S.H. vouchers to homeless veterans and the City has provided $84,000 for assistance in the development of the property. This use of Program Income re- use funds reflects the City's priority for homeless funding where available. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. Other than the proposed and possible support from the service providers which may receive the Public Service Grant, the City of Grand Island does not have any plans for specifically meeting the needs of low- income individuals and families who are being discharged from publically funded institutions and systems of care. AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j) Introduction: Grand Island partners with the Hall County Housing Authority and several non-profit agencies to assist in projects designed to provide affordable rental and homeowner housing, including assistance to people with disabilities and homeless individuals and families. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The City of Grand Island has taken actions in the past to remove negative effects of public policies in regard to the development of affordable housing including the change of subdivision regulations to allow for narrower streets and small lots sizes, thereby reducing the cost to the developer, which could in turn foster a reduction in cost to the potential homeowners. Additionally, changes in tax policies were enacted which gave developers a discount on valuation if they were developing 10 or more lots. In regard to the Annual Action Plan and future plans to remove or ameliorate barriers, the City of Grand Island along with the Community Redevelopment Authority, are planning to propose resolutions to Grand Island City Council regarding Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for housing developments for the Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 139 / 372 Annual Action Plan 2018 21 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) upcoming fiscal year. The City of Grand Island has used TIF for housing developments in the past and the plan for continuation serves to continue to offer incentivized tax policies. AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction: The City of Grand Island has multiple strategies to meet the needs of the community. CDBG funds are a small, yet primary funding component to assist in meeting most of these needs. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs While the City has pursued a variety of strategies to impact the identified needs of the community, the primary obstacle to meeting the underserved needs is the lack of affordable housing. See AP-55 for an additional description of activities and identified need for specific projects and AP-35 for anticipated beneficiaries/outcomes. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing As described above, please see AP-35 and AP-55 for elaboration on the City’s planned programs to address affordable housing needs during the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City of Grand Island has funded multiple housing programs including down payment assistance and owner occupied rehabilitation programs; all of which require a lead based paint inspection on all homes built prior 1978. Homes that were built prior to 1978 are presumed or tested to have lead-based paint. The City of Grand Island does not intend to directly operate any Rehabilitation efforts during the 2017- 2018 Annual Action Plan Period. For this reason, the Lead based paint guidelines which apply are those directly related to sub-recipients of CDBG funds. The following actions are included in the City's Community Development Policy and Procedures document: “At a minimum, Sub-recipient is required to: a) Notify a purchaser or lessee of the presence of any known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards; Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 140 / 372 Annual Action Plan 2018 22 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) b) Paint test surfaces to be disturbed or removed during rehabilitation for the presence of lead-based paint, or presume lead-based paint and notify the occupants of the results within 15 days of when the evaluation report is received or the presumption is made; c) Provide each occupied dwelling unit discussed in (a) and (b) in the preceding section with the EPA- approved lead hazard information pamphlet Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home or EPA- approved equivalent; d) Reduce lead hazards as required by the applicable subparts of Part 35 (full description of Part 35 is available in the Community Development Policy and Procedures, it states the varying levels of requirements, in relation to the level of financial assistance provided); and e) Perform clearance testing, including dust testing, before re-occupancy after all but minimal (“de Minimis”) amounts of paint disturbances.” It should also be noted that the Community Development Policy and Procedures states that “Where regulations differ, Sub-recipients are held to the stricter of the standards.” At this point and time, the City sees the implementation and enforcement of the above guidelines as actively attempting to reduce Lead Based Paint Hazards. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City of Grand Island has formatted its CDBG allocation in a manner which intends to reduce the number of poverty-level families. This includes the support Public Service Grant, and improvements to Low and moderate income areas throughout the City of Grand Island. Additionally, other sectors of Grow Grand Island are working to address the needs of poverty-level families, including workforce initiatives and education initiatives. The City of Grand Island’s Emergency Management Department, Police Department and Fire Department also have various programs that support poverty-level families. It is the intent of the City to continue to support these programs in their efforts to address the poverty needs throughout the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year. Actions planned to develop institutional structure Before February 2015, the Community Development Division operated with two employees, the Community Development Administrator and the Community Development Specialist. After February 2015, the Community Development Division has operated with 1 employee. The process of CDBG administration through the Entitlement model appears to require less staff administration, as opposed to the State model. The City of Grand Island’s Administration will continue to monitor the effectiveness and productivity of the Community Development Division and will add additional staff as the growth of the program allows. Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 141 / 372 Annual Action Plan 2018 23 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) The Continuum of Care, and subsequent members, are still operating within the Balance of State model for operations and funding purposes. While the City of Grand Island has moved over into Metropolitan status, which has included funding changes such as creating a Metropolitan Planning Agency and Entitlement funding. This time of transition, in which some components of the system are receiving Metro based funding, while public service providers are receiving funding and generating data on a Balance of State level, makes it difficult to develop an Institutional Structure which is wholly conducive. For this reason, the stated steps that the City of Grand Island will be taking are those which allow us to foster relationships and address low to moderate income populations, while working with the ultimate goal of executing our Annual Action Plan to the best of our ability while the remaining entities transfer over, allowing for a more unified planning system. While the Continuum of Care is a part of the Balance of State model, all funding priorities, projects, data and plans will reflect the goals of the entire state of Nebraska excluding Omaha and Lincoln making it quite difficult to develop an institutional structure which would be specific to Grand Island. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City of Grand Island will continue to work closely with the Continuum of Care to identify the needs of the social service agencies who work with the homeless and near homeless populations of Grand Island. Additionally, the City of Grand Island has had plans to continue to work closely with the Hall County Housing Authority in many capacities to support public housing including extensive collaboration in implementation of the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Program Guidelines. Multiple members of the Continuum of Care have continued to partner with the Housing Improvement Partnership (which is currently coordinated by the Community Development Division and Assistant to the City Administrator), after outreach attempts at the Continuum of Care meetings. The Hall County Housing Authority’s Executive Director also serves on the Executive Board for the Housing Improvement Partnership. The anticipated collaborations over the next fiscal year between these agencies and the City’s efforts through the Housing Improvement Partnership will most definitely strengthen the coordination and implementation capacity of all parties involved, especially related to the very prevalent need of creating additional and maintaining affordable housing.

The following explains the proposed change to the salary ordinance. Discussion The Chief Operator position at the Wastewater Treatment Plant has been vacant since January of 2017. Due to the certification and experience requirements of the position, Administration has not been able to source a qualified candidate despite multiple recruiting efforts. In an effort to “grow our own” candidate, the City and the IBEW have agreed to create a Lead Wastewater Operator classification. The position will appear in the October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2022 IBEW Wastewater Treatment Plant labor contract. This position will effectively serve as a trainee in preparation for the Chief Operator position. Administration is requesting to fill the position prior to the effective date of the new labor contact. Filling the position early will not impact the current budget as the Chief Operator position has remained unfilled and the pay scale of the Lead Operator is lower than the Chief Operator. 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 - 7/24/2018 Page 173 / 372 Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve proposed Salary Ordinance. Sample Motion Move to approve the amended Salary Ordinance.

In order for this to go on the ballot, 70% of the City Council would have to vote in favor, which would have to be voted either at a primary or general election. The proceeds could only be used for public infrastructure projects and capital equipment purchases. This tax would terminate no more than 10 years after its effective date, or if bonds were issued and the sales tax revenue was used for the payment of the bonds. An interlocal agreement would have to be established with a political subdivision within the City/County and cannot be one that was in existence for 1-year preceding the election. If the vote failed it could not be voted on again for at least 23 months. Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 200 / 372 Page 3, City Council Study Session, July 17, 2018 Mr. Ferguson gave a history of the half cent sales tax and stated 17 other Nebraska communities had adopted an additional sales tax great than 1 1/2%. The goal was to put before the voters an additional 1/2% sales tax on all eligible purchases made in Grand Island at the General Election to be held on November 6, 2018. If passed the additional 1/2% sale tax would begin in April, 2019. The interlocal agreement would be with the Community Redevelopment Authority as allowed by state statute. Reviewed was the proposed ballot language. The revenue received from the 1/2% sales tax would be used for public infrastructure projects and would terminate no more than ten years. Also included in the ballot language was language to increase the City’s budgeted restricted funds for fiscal year 2019-2020 by $5,500,000 over the current year’s restricted funds to permit the expenditure of revenue derived from the increased tax.

All agreements must be approved by the City Council. Discussion The improvements to US Highway 30 consist of the following: Two 12-foot wide driving lanes will be constructed for eastbound and westbound traffic separated by a 40-foot wide depressed median west of Engleman Road and a 30-foot wide raised median east of Engleman Road. The improvements will include 10-foot wide outside shoulders of which 8-feet will be surfaced and 3-foot wide surfaced inside shoulders. US-30 and Claude Road intersection will have ¾ access, which will restrict some left turn movements. This is due to the proximity of the Claude Road intersection to the US-30 and US-281 interchange ramps. Due to the relocation of US-30, side roads will be realigned as necessary. The City of Grand Island has requested that the State include the following work in the project, as stated in the program agreement: Median street lighting from the Engleman Road intersection to the east end of the project and intersection lighting at the intersection of US-30 and Monitor Road. Pedestrian underpass which includes grading for a 3.5-foot grade raise in the highway profile, for a future recreational trail. The underpass will be closed to pedestrians until the City’s recreational trail is constructed.

The total cost of work within City limits is currently estimated to be $28,177,783.78 with the City’s share at $2,775,764.00. The actual cost is likely to be greater than the preliminary estimates as details of design are further developed. The agreement is attached for further review.

The provisions of this agreement shall be effective October 1, 20142018. PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE PARTIES The purpose of the City and the Union entering this labor agreement is to promote harmonious relations between the employer and the union, the establishment of an equitable and peaceful procedure for the resolution of differences, and the establishment of rates of pay, hours of work, and other conditions of employment. ARTICLE I - RECOGNITION A. BARGAINING UNIT The City hereby recognizes the Union as the sole representative of those full-time non-supervisory employees in the following departments and divisions: 1. Department of Public Works a. Street and Transportation Division b. Fleet Services Division 2. Department of Parks and Recreation a. Parks Maintenance Division b. Cemetery Division The City shall not enter into any agreement with employees in the bargaining unit, individually or with any portion of the union or groups of individuals, relative to wages, hours, terms or conditions of employment. B. CLASSES OF EMPLOYEES Only employees with regular status in the classifications listed below are eligible for representation by the Union: Maintenance Worker – Cemetery Maintenance Worker – Parks Maintenance Worker – Streets Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 275 / 372 2 Senior Maintenance Worker- – Streets Equipment Operator- – Streets Senior Equipment Operator- – Streets Fleet Services Mechanic Horticulturist Traffic Signal Technician 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 $4.5010.00 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. 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 $0.25 per hour added to the base hourly rate for the hours worked during such temporary assignment. Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 276 / 372 3 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. 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 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. Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 277 / 372 4 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. to the following Monday at 8 a.m. 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 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). Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 278 / 372 5 H. SCHEDULING HOLIDAYS OFF The scheduling of holidays off shall be done as equitably as possible. ARTICLE III - HOLIDAYS AND HOLIDAY PAY A.

An employee must be on paid leave status to be paid for the holiday. D. HOLIDAY ON REGULARLY SCHEDULED WORK DAY If an employee is regularly scheduled to work on a day on which a holiday falls and such 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.

The current labor agreement expires as of midnight September 30, 2018. Any changes to the contract require Council approval. Discussion The Chief Operator position at the Wastewater Treatment Plant has been vacant since January of 2017. Due to the certification and experience requirements of the position, Administration has not been able to source a qualified candidate despite multiple recruiting efforts. In an effort to “grow our own” candidate, the City and the IBEW have agreed to create a Lead Wastewater Operator classification. The position will appear in the October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2022 IBEW Wastewater Treatment Plant labor contract. This position will effectively serve as a trainee in preparation for the Chief Operator position. Administration is requesting to fill the position prior to the effective date of the new labor contact. Filling the position early will not impact the current budget as the Chief Operator position has remained unfilled and the pay scale of the Lead Operator is lower than the Chief Operator. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Move to approve Grand Island Council Session - 7/24/2018 Page 363 / 372 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 addendum to labor agreement between the City of Grand Island and the IBEW, Local 1597 Wastewater Treatment Plant.
