Staff Contact: RaNae Edwards Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 3 / 408 Council Agenda Memo From:RaNae Edwards, City Clerk Meeting:August 13, 2019 Subject:Public Hearing on Request from Spirit in the Sky, LLC dba 40 North Tap & Grille, 520 West 3rd Street for a Class “CKG” Liquor License Presenter(s):RaNae Edwards, City Clerk Background Spirit in the Sky, LLC dba 40 North Tap & Grille, 520 West 3rd Street has submitted an application for a Class “CKG” Liquor License. A Class “C” Liquor License allows for the sale of alcohol on and off sale only inside the corporate limits of the city. The Class “K” allows for catering one day events. This request would allow 40 North Tap & Grille to deliver, sell or dispense alcoholic liquors, including beer, for consumption at a location designated on a Special Designated Liquor License (SDL). The Class “G” Liquor License, known as a Growler endorsement is to allow "off sale" beer in a sealed container, not more than 32 oz. The original application had included a rooftop area of 36’ x 40’. After review by the Building and Fire Departments with the applicant, this area will not be included in this application. Discussion City Council action is required and forwarded to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission for issuance of all licenses. This application has been reviewed by the Clerk, Building, Fire, Police, and Health Departments. On April 23, 2019 City Council approved a Class “IK” Liquor License for Spirit in the Sky, LLC dba 40 North Tap & Grille, 520 West 3rd Street. This application would change that license to a “CKG” Liquor License. The Police Department has no problem with the change in the liquor license and the addition of a Growler endorsement. Also submitted was a request for Liquor Manager Designation for Joseph Vavricek, 2729 Brentwood Boulevard. Mr. Vavricek has completed a state approved alcohol server/seller training program. Staff recommends approval excluding the rooftop area. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 4 / 408 Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Approve the application. 2.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with no recommendation. 3.Forward to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission with recommendations. 4.Deny the application. Recommendation Based on the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission’s criteria for the approval of Liquor Licenses, City Administration recommends that the Council approve the application contingent upon final inspections. Sample Motion Move to approve the application for Spirit in the Sky, LLC dba 40 North Tap & Grille, 520 West 3rd Street Liquor License “CKG” contingent upon final inspections and Liquor Manager designation for Joseph Vavricek, 2729 Brentwood Boulevard.

Staff Contact: Amber Alvidrez Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 7 / 408 Council Agenda Memo From:Amber Alvidrez, Community Development Meeting:August 13, 2019 Subject:Public Hearing on the Development of 2018-2019 Annual Action Plan for CDBG Activities Presenter(s):Amber Alvidrez, Community Development Administrator Background Grand Island became an Entitlement Community in September 2015. A large part of the planning process for this Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) model is the creation of the 3, 4 or 5-year Consolidated Plan, and the Annual Action Plan. The Consolidated Plan represents the City’s goals for CDBG funding in broad scope, it identifies the areas and focus of CDBG priorities. The City has chosen to complete a 5-year Consolidated Plan which is currently in place and covers the time period of 2019-2023. The Three Priorities outlined in the Consolidated Plan are as follows in order of identified importance: •Increase Quality & Affordable Housing Options •Cultivate Small and Emerging Businesses •Support Public Services for Neighborhoods and Vulnerable Populations The Annual Action Plan breaks down the priorities and lists specific dollar amounts and which projects will be funded in the assigned year. A separate Annual Action Plan is prepared for each Fiscal Year. The public hearing today is to discuss the planned programs for the 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan. Discussion Projects being considered for the 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan are outlined in the Power Point presentation. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 8 / 408 Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Accept the Development of 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan for CDBG Activities. 2.Do not accept the Development of 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan for CDBG Activities. Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council accept the Development of 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan for CDBG Activities. Sample Motion Move to accept the Development of 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan for CDBG Activities. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 9 / 408 Review of Priority Needs An extensive overview regarding how the proposed projects align with the Priority Needs is available in the 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan and 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan.

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. Through a review of housing market, community development, homeless needs and economic development data and an evaluation of past performance in the City’s HUD funded programs, the City has developed the following goals for the use of these Funds: Increase Quality Affordable Housing options Cultivate small and emerging businesses Support public Services for neighborhoods and vulnerable populations The City’s Consolidated Plan follows the requirements placed by BUD, and uses HUD’s format and data tables required for plans. Grand Island’s consolidated plan is implemented and updated through Annual Action Plans (AAP) and Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Reports (CAPER). The Action plan establishes the priorities for projects and funding for the upcoming year. The CAPER report details the results of funded projects during the individual project years. 2.Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The data analysis throughout the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment concludes in that the most prominent need within the City of Grand Island is additional affordable housing. While the spectrum of affordable housing is broad, including larger units, units for seniors, units for veterans and units for persons with disabilities, these all fall within the parameter of a strong need for additional and affordable housing. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 12 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 2 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 3.Evaluation of past performance The City of Grand Island became an Entitlement Community in 2016 and therefore has worked through the 2016-2019 Consolidated Plan. The City Of Grand Island has a history of successful programs funded through the Community Development Block Grant program. The City has successfully funded housing rehabilitation activities targeting lower income households unable to properly maintain their homes. The City also works closely with the Railside the Downtown Business Improvement District to operate the Small business Rental Assistance Program which allowed assistance to help small emerging businesses relocate to downtown Grand Island which was previously a slum and blight area. The City has created strong partnerships with many Non-profit service providers through the past consolidated plan through the use of the Public Service Grant which was available only to non-profit service providers within the corporate city limits of Grand Island. 4.Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The most recent version of the citizen participation plan was adopted by City Council on April 26, 2016. The Citizen Participation Plan intends to make the community aware of CDBG projects and processes, as well as to make the pathway for becoming involved with review of CDBG funding as accessible as possible. A copy of the citizen participation plan, which includes public hearing time frames and varying methods in which the Community Development Division will make information available is accessible on the City of Grand Island’s Website at www.grand-island.com, under the Community Development section or available in print from the Community Development Division directly at Grand Island City Hall, 100 E. 1st street, Grand Island, Nebraska. 5.Summary of public comments 6.Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them 7.Summary The Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan provide an in-depth and insightful assessment and plan for the City of Grand Island’s Community Development needs. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 13 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) The Community Development Division has diligently attempted to ensure that the priorities and projects that are outlined in these plans directly reflect the priorities as identified by the community itself. The document was developed through a process that included a significant community engagement component, which included focus groups, public review periods and Public Hearings. No comments were received from the public during the review period, which is indicative of the extent to which community involvement was incorporated into the development of the Consolidated Plan.

The City’s Community Development Division, under the direction of Regional Planning and City Administration, maintains responsibility for development of the Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan and Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report (CAPER.) The City has also created an Entitlement Stakeholders Committee to assist the Community Development Division by providing insight and suggestions for funding priorities. The Entitlement Stakeholders group also coordinates the planning efforts and housing studies for the City of Grand Island, which are a large part of the planning process for the City’s CDBG Program. The Community Development Division has made a diligent effort to access and compile data from the varying surveys, planning sessions, and studies with the intent of actively engaging and consulting a broad range of organizations. Housing groups, non-profits, business leaders, civic leaders, economic development groups and service providers were all approached and consulted in the broad effort to develop a plan that sufficiently reflects the needs of Grand Island. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)). This is the first Consolidated Plan the City of Grand Island has created. The City of Grand Island elected to become an Entitlement Community in 2015, with a program beginning date of October 1, 2016. For this reason, some of the collaboration and consultation done with groups and organizations in the community was related to gaining insight on how the changeover to Entitlement would affect their work, in addition to their suggestions on how the funds should be allocated. A more specific breakdown of the planning efforts is described in the “Other local/regional/state/federal planning efforts” section. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 16 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) The Community Development Division (CDD) consulted with the Continuum of Care (CoC) before, during and after accepting HUD's invitation to become an Entitlement Community. A staff member from the CDD attends the CoC meetings, to stay actively engaged in upcoming projects and events. Since the City's recent increase in involvement in the CoC, many members of the group have reached out to the CDD, to gain information on how they can be more involved in the City's planning process and activities. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City of Grand Island does not receive Emergency Solution Grant (ESG) funds. 2.

This analysis of housing expenditures represents the entire population of Grand Island. It should be noted that the burden caused by allocating 30%-50% or more of a households income within a low or extremely low income household can be a far more severe cost burden leaving extremely limited funds available for other necessities. Additionally, population growth has created a very immediate need for additional housing. The 2019 Housing Study stated that there are 20,012 total housing units within Grand Island, - 11,973 owner and 8,039 rental. The housing study also stated that there is an adjusted vacancy rate of 3%, and a community experiences housing demand issues at a rate of 6%, meaning Grand Island is currently experiencing extreme housing vacancy issues. There are simply not enough units available. Low vacancy rates are contributing to higher rents and housing costs. Additional facts, figures and assessments of data are available in this Needs Assessment to support this finding. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 27 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 17 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c) Summary of Housing Needs The Housing Needs Assessment provides data and analysis regarding the housing sector and areas of need within the City of Grand Island. A few explanations that may provide helpful when reviewing the data are as follows: In the “Number of Households” table, “HAMFI” is the HUD Adjusted Median Family Income, which is calculated by HUD for the City of Grand Island. The Area Median Income (AMI) is a statistic generated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for purposes of determining the eligibility of applicants for certain federal housing programs. HUD determines AMI on an annual basis for each metropolitan area, making adjustments for household size and other factors. In the City of Grand Island, the AMI data is available for families and households of many different sizes, but for example, a family household of four is represented by income as:  100% AMI = $59,500 and above  80-100% AMI = $48,000 to $59,499  50-80% AMI = $30,000 to $47,999  30-50% AMI= $23,850 to $29,999 HUD defines housing problems as: 1) Lack of complete kitchen or plumbing facilities 2) Cost burdened: A housing cost burden of more than 30% of household income. Cost burden is the fraction of a household's total gross income spent on housing costs. For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and utilities 3) Severe cost burdened: A housing cost burden of more than 50% of household income, applying the same definition as described for cost burden 4) Overcrowding is defined as more than one person per room, not including bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half rooms 5) Severe overcrowding is defined as more than 1.5 persons per room, applying the same definition as described for overcrowding The graphs below provide a large amount of data regarding the existing conditions in Grand Island, followed by an analysis of the housing needs.

Single person households represent 28.38%, approximately 5,312 units, of the City of Grand Island’s housing population according to the 2009-2013 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS.) It can be assumed that households with one individual income bear a greater cost burden, and therefore may have a stronger need for assistance. However, when compared to households with large numbers of children, even with two incomes, the cost burden may be greater. The data available in the 2019 Housing Study is inconclusive regarding the type of single person household in need of housing assistance; it simply makes suggestions for growth to accommodate the needs. According to informal research with various service providers within the Continuum of Care, the largest types of single person households seeking assistance are seniors and individuals suffering from mental illness. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. The 2019 Housing Study includes data for “special populations,” which comprises the above described demographics in combination with each other. The study states that 98% of special populations (renters and owners) fall into the 80% or below Annual Median Income category. Therefore 98% of this demographic would qualify for CDBG assistance in some capacity. Households with disabled persons are comprised of single person households, single family households, multi-family or unrelated households, etc. Those experiencing housing needs related to domestic violence, sexual assault, etc tend to be single-person households or single-mother households. What are the most common housing problems? Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 33 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 23 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Housing affordability impacts a range of Grand Island’s household types. However, renters seem to be more affected by high housing costs than homeowners. 68% of renters are paying more than half their income on housing. Additionally, 86% of renters in the 0%-30% AMI demographic are spending 50% or more of their income on rent. The cost burden also impacts seniors across all income levels at a higher rate than families. Seniors often live on a limited income over much longer periods of time, which would offer an explanation for the higher observed ratios in that demographic. Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Housing affordability impacts a range of Grand Island’s household types. However, renters seem to be more affected by high housing costs than homeowners. 68% of renters are paying more than half their income on housing. Additionally, 86% of renters in the 0%-30% AMI demographic are spending 50% or more of their income on rent.

Seniors often live on a limited income over much longer periods of time, which would offer an explanation for the higher observed ratios in that demographic. Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance Lower income families and individuals at imminent risk of homelessness typically lack sustainable living- wage employment, affordable housing, and adequate transportation. At this point and time, the data related to such individuals and families is generated by the Continuum of Care, which serves not only Grand Island, but also the entire state of Nebraska excluding Lincoln and Omaha. For this reason, much of the data available related to these demographics does not directly reflect the needs of Grand Island. However, through informal assessments and interviews it can be estimated that within Grand Island, those who are currently housed but are imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered have ample resources available, rehousing through the Central Nebraska Community Action Partnership and other service providers. However, the characteristic which has proven detrimental to any sort of service model is the individuals who have no desire to participate in services or any sort of system. Many reasons exist for this, but the most Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 34 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 24 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) prevailing by far are mental illness and addiction. Families in this scenario are addressed through child protective services. Additionally, there are plenty of services available including emergency assistance and transitional assistance for those who are nearing the termination of their assistance. As with many other assessments in the Consolidated Plan, the lack of availability within Grand Island is not the services, but rather the affordable housing itself. Individuals making use of Rapid Re-Housing are not experiencing issues at the end of their assistance, but rather at the beginning of their assistance, as it is extremely difficult to find affordable housing in a short amount of time. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: The Continuum of Care participates in the annual Point in Time Count each January. The organization not only obtains a count of the sheltered homeless, but also obtains an accurate account of those living on the street and in places not meant for habitation by conducting overnight surveys. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness Although those at risk for homelessness reside in a range of housing types, individuals that are at the highest risk are more likely to live in rental housing that is taking up a disproportionate about of their income. Discussion Cost burden and extreme cost burden are the most common housing problem across all lower income households in the City of Grand Island. The lower the income of the household, the more extreme housing cost burden is seen. An estimated 1,681 owner households and 2,259 renter households are determined to be cost burdened and/or experiencing housing problems. An estimated 338 or 15 percent of the total cost burdened renter households are elderly (62+).

Introduction: Housing cost burden is defined by HUD as: No cost burden is present when housing cost is less than 30% Cost burden when housing cost is 30% to 50% Severe cost burden when housing cost if greater than 50%. A disproportionately greater need exists when the members of racial or ethnic groups at a given income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole.

In the area discussed regarding Severe Housing Problems, there was a slight disproportion in regard to the Hispanic population within Grand Island. While the Hispanic population makes up roughly 28.8% of the population in Grand Island, they represented a slight increase in number experiencing Severe Housing Problems. Among all areas discussed in the section, there was a demographic varying between 34% and 39%, for Hispanics experiencing severe housing problems. This represents a 5-10% difference from the actual demographic of the population. However, it does not qualify as a concentration, which would be a difference of 20% or more. The areas discussed regarding Housing Problems and Housing Burdens, experienced the same rates as those of the demographic expressed in the general population. If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? There is not sufficient data to directly correlate race and ethnicity with specific housing needs. The 2019 Housing Study did not break housing need into ethnicity. Moving forward, the City of Grand Island intends to use the data gained by the Consolidated Plan process and the process of CDBG Program Implementation to further understand the specific needs of these populations. Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? The specific concentration of ethnic groups is discussed in MA-50 – Needs and Market Analysis. There are specific areas and neighborhoods, and they are discussed in MA-50 in relation to Census Tracts and Blighted areas as identified in this plan.

The following information has been provided by the PIC and Hall County Housing Authority. Currently the Hall County Housing Authority owns and manages housing units throughout Hall County including low-rent public housing units. The HCHA continually strives to maintain, upgrade, and improve the physical condition of Grand Island’s and Hall County’s public housing units.

This data is used to create an estimation of individuals and families experiencing homelessness as a whole. The annual Point in Time County is executed regionally. The City of Grand Island falls into the “North Central Region” or “Region 2”, which comprises agencies, organizations and individuals serving homeless populations located in Cherry, Keya Paha, Boyd, Brown, Rock, Holt, Blaine, Loup, Garfield, Wheeler, Custer, Valley, Greeley, Sherman Howard, Boone, Platte, Colfax, Nance, Merrick, Hall and Hamilton counties. However, the data presented in this table represents the homeless population of Grand Island alone.

The Point in Time data (PIT) in the above tables states that there are a total of 13 “households” experiencing homelessness; this includes at least one parent and one child. Additionally, there are a total of 4 veterans listed as homeless, both sheltered and unsheltered. The information gathered in the PIT count is a snapshot of a single day, it is however using sampling techniques which intend to accurately represent the homeless population as a whole over time, especially when comparing information across multiple year’s PIT counts. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. In the City of Grand Island the vast majority of sheltered homeless persons are identified as White/Non- Hispanic with a representation of 91% of the homeless population. Additionally the White/Non-Hispanic demographic represents 100% of the unsheltered homeless individuals. Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.

The elderly, persons with mental, physical, or development disabilities, and people with substance abuse problems, and other groups often have specific needs because of their circumstances. Many individuals and households facing these issues also have low or very low incomes. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: Elderly Persons: In 2012 there were 6,680 households with one or more people 60 years and over within Grand Island, representing 31.02% of the households. Mental, Physical, or Developmental Disabilities: ACS 2010-2014 Data offers data on Grand Island residents of all ages has one or more disabilities. Specific difficulties included hearing (4% of total population), vision (9%), cognitive difficulties (7%), ambulatory difficulties (7%), self-care difficulties (2%). Goodwill Industries serves individuals with a mental health diagnosis and/or disabilities. They state that 75% of their clients require specialized housing. Goodwill offers 24 total units, all of which are full and their waiting list is full with approximately 20 individuals. Additionally, various funding sources, specifically those to the individual needing services, have been cut back. This greatly impacts the ability of those individuals to obtain and maintain housing. Substance Abuse: The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse Strategic Plan identified drinking issues, including youth drinking, binge drinking and alcohol impaired driving as the main priorities for programs. For this reason, most of the data available from the State of Nebraska is pertaining to alcohol abuse and is broken down into Department of Health and Human Service’s regions. The City of Grand Island is part of Region 3 and the numbers for Region 3 are as follows. The various data tables explaining the sample sizes and results of drunk driving, binge drinking and alcohol use surveys are available in the State of Nebraska’s Substance Abuse Strategic Plan, which can be found at: http://dhhs.ne.gov/Documents/NE_Sub_Abuse_Prev_Strat_Plan.pdf See NA-10 for characteristics of victims of domestic violence, assault, or stalking. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 53 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? The 2019 Housing Study gathered a copious amount of information on available units for special needs populations and made suggestions for additional units. Their methodology included a vast survey of the current housing stock in Grand Island and compared the data to the current population growth and anticipated population growth. Based on the data gathered, the 2019 Housing Study identified housing target demand for the city of Grand Island regarding specific population groups by 2024. It suggests that in Grand Island, by 2024, there will be a need for an additional459 total units for the elderly and 51 additional units for special populations including those with a mental or physical disability. Additionally, the Housing Improvement Partnership intends to conduct various committee led surveys/studies to gain better insight into what programs are operationally feasible under the current economic conditions of Grand Island’s various entities. Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: The State of Nebraska and the Central District Health Department do not maintain numbers on HIV/AIDS diagnosis specifically to the community of Grand Island. The data is maintained on a metro (Omaha/Lincoln) level, and then the rest of the State is considered the rural diagnosis.

The City conducted a survey of residents and service providers asking their input into the ranking process for the variety of uses of CDBG funds. The survey was available online and as hard copy at Consolidated Plan forums. While the survey was not a statistically reliable instrument for prioritizing, it was a useful tool to include community concerns and preferences into consideration. Staff took the results of the survey and the comments received in the focus group sessions and forums and completed the ranking process.

The City of Grand Islands Administration has recognized this process and the subsequent goals as the community’s response to a request for direction and vision. For this reason, the goals as established by these efforts provide a framework for the City of Grand Island in efforts including Public Facilities, Public Improvements, and Public Services, among others.

Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 58 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 48 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Throughout the 2019 Housing Study 17 affordable rental housing programs, totaling 1,134 units and 14 selected specialized housing programs including assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing facilities as well as supportive housing for veterans totaling 994 units/ beds were selected for review of affordable housing in Grand Island. Of the selected rental housing programs and specialized housing facilities, 15 have occupancy rates above 90 percent, with six programs experiencing 100 percent occupancy. Seven of the housing programs currently maintain waiting list of 50+ prospective tenants. Within Grand Island 91% of the affordable housing programs operate at 90% capacity or more. This is a very strong indicator that the housing needs of the population are at capacity and are in need of expansion. Describe the need for specific types of housing: According to the 2019 Housing Study, which stated it gathered information through Housing Meetings and Listening Sessions, the greatest housing needs within Grand Island include housing for new and existing employees, general rental housing and housing choices for low-income families, and first-time home buyers, consisting of three-bedrooms. Participants of the “Household Citizen” and “Workforce Housing Needs” Surveys stressed a need for safe, decent and affordable housing options and the need to rehabilitate or demolish distressed housing structures in the community. Future housing activities in the community should be directed towards providing the local workforce and first-time homebuyers with a variety of housing options through both new construction and moderate or substantial rehabilitation of the current housing stock. Survey respondents identified a need for both affordable owner and renter housing options consisting three or more bedrooms to support large families. There is an increasing need for starter homes in Grand Island, especially in the $140,000 TO $175,000 price range for first time homebuyers.

Housing vacancy deficiency is defined as the number of vacant within a community. A vacancy rate of 6 percent is the minimum rate recommended for Grand Island, as per the 2014 Housing Study. A vacancy rate of 6-7 percent is recommended to have sufficient housing available for both new and existing residents of all incomes. A vacancy deficiency exists in when an estimated 3 percent of the total housing stock is vacant. The overall adjusted housing vacancy rate for the City of Grand Island is an estimated 3.1 percent. This includes a 3.5 percent owner housing vacancy rate and a 2.4 percent renter housing vacancy rate. How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? Currently the city of Grand Island is experiencing what is described as “Pent-up” Housing Demand in which the current residents need and/or want to secure a different and/or more affordable housing type within the next five years. This includes persons from all households and income sectors including elderly, family, special populations and very-low to upper-income categories. Because of this phenomenon, the housing market within Grand Island is very much a “seller’s market.” With such a high demand for housing, rents and home purchase prices have increased and it can be predicted that the will continue to increase over the next 3-5 years. How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? HOME and Fair Market Rents appear to be directly in line with the housing issues expressed section MA- 10. When viewing the Area Median Rent Table, there appears to be an abundance of housing units available in the “Less than $500” and “$500-$999” categories, but a shortage is visible in categories above $1000. This further supports the lack of affordable housing to support larger families (as expressed in MA-10.) Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 61 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 51 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) This observed trend would provide strong support for and justification for financially supporting projects that assist families in obtaining affordable housing and maintaining affordable housing.

There are also privately owned HUD subsidized developments in the community. There appears to be a near sufficient supply of one bedroom public housing units (in terms of numbers not quality) but the shortage of public housing becomes more severe in units with 2 or more bedrooms. In addition, the quality of one bedroom public housing is lacking in terms of size and amenities. Therefore, if a low or moderate income has a housing choice, the public housing facility is often not considered.

A majority of the units were built around 50 years ago and some as much as 65 years ago. Another large grouping was built in 1983. The newest public housing development was built in the 1990’s but these units comprise less than 5% of the total public housing inventory. Due to the age of these facilities coupled with the deep funding cuts in the Capital Fund over the last decade capital improvement needs continue to build. Changes in federal policy such as the discontinuance of the Public Housing Drug Elimination Grant have resulted in more diversified utilization of Capital Fund dollars and recent changes to local and state fire codes have diverted large sums of money from capital improvements into these requirements resulting in further erosion of the original purpose of these dollars which is to keep major facilities in good repair.

Families in AMP 1 must provide their own air conditioning in all but 27 of the apartments. The agency is nearing completion of a long term project removing asbestos from the flooring of most of the AMP 1 apartments. Kitchen cabinet replacement and floorplan changes are in the planning stages at the 11 story high rise. Currently a sprinkler system is being installed in this facility. The mid-rise building needs a new boiler system and the exterior curtain of the building involves window panes that are well beyond their useful life. Flooring updates and apartment painting is needed in long term lived-in apartments throughout the agency, entry doors need replaced in all single entrance buildings and community space upgrades are needed in nearly all the complexes with shared community space. Nearly all the scattered site houses need remodeling, landscaping is needed, appliances need replaced, and the list goes on and on. According to a 2012 Physical Needs Assessment (PNA) which was completed by Creative Housing Solutions, the Hall County Housing Authority has $671,009 in annual accrual modernization needs. HCHA’s total 2016 allotment of Capital Funding is $430,867. The complete PNA is available at the Hall County Housing Authority upon request. Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing: HCHA cannot possibly hope to keep up with annual accrual modernization needs in the current federal funding environment resulting in a best attempt to keep the facilities usable for as long as possible by current and future families. HCHA has therefore focused on improvement of the lives of its residents in other ways. In 2009 HCHA hired a Social Worker who focuses on resident needs and life improvements. The Social Worker provides referral services and advocacy for all HCHA residents assisting clients with resources already provided by the community that they may not be aware of or without advocacy they could not access. The HCHA Social Worker carries an active caseload of approximately 40-50 clients and also provides oversight of the HUD required Community Service Program. In addition the Social Worker sets up educational opportunities for residents and coordinates Resident Councils in several buildings. In addition, HCHA contracts with the Grand Island Police Department to provide community policing for residents in all Public Housing facilities. In addition to providing a sense of security for all residents, the community Police Officer assists residents with criminal related problems, provides support and follows up on security threats and concerns.

Discussion: Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 69 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 59 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services – 91.210(c) Introduction Grand Island can use CDBG funding to address housing and service needs for people who are homeless along with some homelessness prevention projects, including emergency shelters, case management and supportive services for women with children and street outreach. Grand Island participates in the community’s comprehensive Continuum of Care system to end homelessness. This partnership includes collaborative efforts of a variety of community groups, government agencies and a coalition of more than 40 homeless service providers. It should be noted, that all service providers in the City of Grand Island, including Hope Harbor and The Salvation Army, classify any sort of non- emergency housing assistance for the homeless or near homeless as transitional housing. For this reason, all services are classified as such in the table below. Victory Place, provides Permanent, Supportive Housing for Veterans, it is the first development in within the City Of Grand Island to be classified as such. Additionally, there are no services in Grand Island specifically for Unaccompanied Youth, and no Unaccompanied Youth were recorded in the Point in Time Count. Any service provider in the City of Grand Island who encounters an Unaccompanied Youth immediately contacts the State of Nebraska who provides emergency foster services locally.

Additionally multiple agencies offer employment services including Vocational Rehab, Nebraska Workforce Development and Goodwill. List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations. Within the City of Grand Island there is a family and mother/child oriented shelter and there is a shelter which serves single men. There is also emergency shelter assistance for individuals and families experiencing domestic abuse. Foster families and hotel vouchers also exist through service providers, for those that do not wish to stay in a shelter or are unable to do so. At this point in time one of the larger gaps in service being provided is permanent housing opportunities. Currently only emergency and transitional opportunities exist. There is a project in place on the grounds of the VA Nebraska/Western Iowa Healthcare System. This project will consist of 20 single bedroom and 6 two bedroom units specifically for serving the permanent housing needs of homeless veterans. There is still room for additional growth within the community of Grand Island which would serve the permanent housing needs of non-veterans, as well. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 72 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction The City of Grand Island continue to works with partners through with the Continuum of Care, Hall County, Heartland United Way, Hall County Housing Authority, the faith based community, and many other social service providers to develop multiple funding resources and partnerships. The services benefit many different people with special needs. Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs The supportive housing needs of the groups identified in NA-45 of this document include a strong need for additional affordable housing. The 2019 Housing Study states that elderly housing is available in Grand Island, but more is needed. Especially low to medium density housing, such as duplexes, triplexes and town homes. Additionally, it is evident there is need for additional special needs housing throughout the community. Housing for individuals with varying disabilities has a very long wait list, indicating a high need for expansion. Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing At this point and time there are no coordinated plans or programs for providing supportive housing for persons returning from mental and physical health institutions. However, services are available. Hope Harbor offers transitional housing and The Friendship House offers transitional services for individuals leaving addiction treatment facilities. At the point of discharge, an individual would most likely have a case worker through the State of Nebraska or the discharge institution which would assist them in securing adequate housing. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 73 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 63 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e) The City of Grand Island allows for non-profit service providers to apply for CDBG funds as a public Service grant. This will allow the City’s CDBG funding to be receptive to the housing and supportive service needs of the homeless population and near homeless population on an annual basis. As affordable housing options develop, the issues surrounding the “pent up housing” dynamic can take years to be corrected. For this reason, allowing the Continuum of Care members to develop programs and request CDBG fund on an annual basis, will allow the needs of these populations to be met as the affordable housing needs transition to a much more stable environment. For example, in its first year, a strong need may be that of helping individuals and families stay in the current housing through direct burden assistance, and as the housing climate evolves, the need may transition to an emphasis on rapid re-housing as more and more units are readily available. This grant, which will be specifically geared towards meeting the housing needs of low income to extremely low income persons, will remain adaptive to the needs of the community as the housing market continues to improve. For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2)) As mentioned above, the Public Service Grants when available will remain receptive to the housing needs of the community. These needs will most likely vary on an annual basis and the needs can be those of the general population or those of special populations and identified by the Continuum of Care and the grant review committee. Additionally the support provided to the Housing Improvement Partnership will be used to implement a Senior Home Modification Program, which will help seniors stay in their home longer, by providing simple home modifications to address disabilities associated with aging – such as basic mobility issues. This will serve to help alleviate some of the need for seniors to find specialized housing to address disabilities or even move into a level of housing that requires paid staff or direct care.

According to the 2019 Housing Study’s Workforce Housing Needs Survey, the primary impediments to affordable housing are: For Homeowners Housing Prices Lack of sufficient Homes for Sale(Price) Lack of Sufficient Homes for Sale(Size) Cost of real estate taxes For Renters Cost of Rent Lack of Decent Rental Units in Price Range Municipal regulations such as zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations can provide restrictive parameters for the development of new affordable housing and residential investment. The steps taken to address the balance of zoning and growth, along with other steps intended to address barriers to affordable housing are address in section SP-55.

Partnerships include the Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation, The Grand Island Area Chamber of Commerce and the Grand Island Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The largest employment sector in Grand Island is manufacturing, comprising 26% of the workforce. Other major employment sectors are retail trade, education and health services, and arts, entertainment and accommodations Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 79 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 69 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: Transportation plays and important role in the two leading employment sectors in Grand Island. Large scale transit is imperative in both manufacturing and retail trade. For this reason, a comprehensive transportation plan (as handled by the Metropolitan Planning Organization within the City of Grand Island) plays a very important role in meeting the transit needs of employers and the citizens alike. Education and health services rely heavily on a specialized education, specifically teachers and medical professionals such as nurses and doctors. Readily available and accessible education for these fields plays a very important role in providing enough professionals to maintain an adequate workforce. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. Within Market Streets research for Grow Grand Island, when asked to identify the greatest challenge facing the community from an economic development standpoint, interviewees, focus group participants, and survey respondents overwhelmingly cited concerns related to workforce sustainability. As older employees retire, Grand Island will need to supply enough younger workers to replace them or be able to attract more new workers to the community to balance out the loss of retirees. Luckily, as of 2012, Grand Island’s young cohort (25-44) is slightly larger than its cohort of impending retirees in the coming decade (ages 45-64). Data covering the age of workers by sector illustrate that many of the community’s largest sectors are among the least susceptible to impending retirements. For example, just 17.2 percent of the manufacturing workforce in Hall County is age 55 and over, as compared to 22.1 percent nationwide. Despite relatively favorable age dynamics, manufacturers within Grand Island reported significant shortages in a wide variety of fields from machinists to welders. Employers from a wide array of sectors indicated that Grand Island struggles to retain its younger workers, and struggles to attract former high school graduates to return to the community after attending college outside of the region. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 80 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 70 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Unfortunately, the educational attainment level of Grand Island’s adult population places the community at a significant disadvantage in this competition for higher-wage jobs in more “white collar” sectors. Just 20 percent of its adult population (age 25+) has a bachelor’s degree or higher, as compared to 28.5 percent statewide and 28.7 percent nationwide. On the other end of the spectrum, 19 percent have no high school diploma, as compared to just 9.4 percent statewide and 14.1 percent nationwide. Further, the community has not kept pace with its competition in recent years in terms of improving four-year degree attainment rates and reducing the percentage with no high school diploma. However, there was a significant increase in the number of people with an associate degree, indicating that workers are upgrading their qualifications and formal education by way of Central Community College. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. In an attempt to address the gap in education for many specialized fields, Grand Island Public Schools created a technical skills program called Career Pathways Institute, helps students follow their education directly into a skilled career. The Career Pathways Institute is currently the largest workforce training initiative in the City of Grand Island, and one of the driving forces of its inception was to expand the young workforce within Grand Island, specifically those individuals educated in skilled trades. The mission of Career Pathways Institute is to prepare motivated learners for career pathways that lead to employment and continued learning. Students are introduced to career exploration as early as 6th grade and are introduced to the various pathways while as 8th graders. Introductory classes for each pathway are taught during the freshman and sophomore years. Qualifying students are admitted to pathway programs as juniors and seniors and attend three-hour classes. By spending half the day at their respective high schools and the other half at Career Pathways Institute, students receive a more focused learning approach. To create the feeling of an actual workforce environment, students must ‘clock-in’ using their student ID. In order to stay in the program, students attending all Career Pathways Institute campuses must maintain a good attendance record and grade level. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 81 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 71 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Additionally, a partnership between Grand Island Public Schools and Central Community College, students may enroll in dual credit courses. This allows them to apply high school credits towards earning a diploma or certificate in their chosen pathway. Scholarships made available by the generosity of many community donors help offset some of the costs of the dual credit courses. Once students graduate from high school and have completed their pathway program, they can either enter the workforce at that level, or pursue an Associates or Bachelor’s degree in their chosen field. This model has been met with much acclaim across the State of Nebraska and it addresses some of the major issues which are being predicted within Grand Island’s workforce. A well trained workforce will have a trickledown effect on various components of the consolidated plan, varying from the benefit of the training program itself for low income and vulnerable populations, to the increase of Annual Median Income for an individual that is trained and welding and paid accordingly as opposed to untrained, all of the way to the impact that a more reliable workforce has on project prices and project completions for projects ranging from housing to public facilities. The benefit to the Consolidated Plan is largely which is experienced as part of a wide-spread public benefit. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? Yes If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. Grow Grand Island (GGI) was Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation’s CEDS. This plan was then dovetailed with GranderVision, to become a community wide vision and plan. Some economic development initiatives that were a part of Grow Grand Island were: ENGINE- Engaging the Next Generation of Grand Island Nebraska, which is a comprehensive leadership development and community service program which cultivates the next generation of business leadership in Grand Island GGI Export Initiative -– supports the development of new international trade relationships for Grand Island area manufacturers Long Range Corridor Improvement Plan Develop plan for local incentives to attract livestock shows, trade shows, and other events to Grand Island based on their potential economic development impact. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 82 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 72 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Discussion Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 83 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 73 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") The City of Grand Island uses HUD's unofficial guideline of concentration as area where the relative prevalence of an impact, is more than 20 percentage points higher than the city-wide prevalence of that impact. According to the data in MA-20, houses with multiple housing problems make up 0% of the owner population and 6% of the renter populations. Such small numbers make it very difficult to extrapolate areas of concentration. However varying other areas in the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis point to issues caused by a housing cost burden, in which 30% or more of a households income is spent on housing. SP-10 of the Consolidated Plan will identify Blight and Substandard Area 1 as a priority area in CDBG funding. Census Tracts 2, 3, 9, and 10 overlap with Blight and Substandard Area #1. Within this area Community Development Division staff compared ACS 2010-2014 data regarding housing problems including cost burden of 30%, cost burden of 50% and household size (overcrowding.) It was found that the rates of these housing issues do occur at a higher rate within these census tracts, but not at a high enough rate to be considered a “concentration.” The rate when comparing these areas varied between 4% and 8% higher than the actual population of Grand Island as a whole Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") The City of Grand Island uses HUD's unofficial guideline of concentration as area where the relative prevalence of an impact, is more than 20 percentage points higher than the city-wide prevalence of that impact. Racial or Ethnic Minorities Census Tract 2, 3, 9, 10 were researched again because of their relationship with blight and substandard area #1. It was found that tracts 3, 9 and 10 have representation of minorities between 39% and 50%, which is about 5-15 points higher than the community average of 35%. However, census tract 2 has a population of minorities which represents 74% of the total tract population, versus the 35% average of Grand Island as a whole. This is over the percentage point of 20%, which would indicate and area of concentration according to HUD. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 84 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 74 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) It should also be noted that 70% of the foreign born population within Grand Island lives within census tracts 2, 3, 9, and 10. Low-Income Families According to 2013-2017 ACS data, the median household income for the entire city of Grand Island is $55,423. The median income for the census tracts being tracked within Blight and Substandard area #1 are as follows: Census Tract 2: $48,966 Census Tract 3: $44,917 Census Tract 9: $43,875 What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Within these census tracts are diverse, yet tightly knit neighborhoods. The City of Grand Island hopes to engage these neighborhoods as they stand to further address the Priority Need of “Supporting Public Services for Neighborhoods and Vulnerable Populations.” Additionally, there is a strong economic district along 4th Street, with many locally owned small businesses. There have been recent developments. This area has yet to incorporate under the current Business Improvement District model as held by the City. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The largest areas of opportunity are in the area of incorporating the businesses that exist within this area, which would create a collaborative effort and create strategies for recruiting additional businesses, and collaboration of neighborhoods and developing strategies to address issues that exist within these areas. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 85 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 75 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Strategic Plan SP-05 Overview Strategic Plan Overview This Section contains the Strategic Plan for Housing and Community Development that will guide the City of Grand Island’s allocation of CDBG funding during the 2019-2023 period focus on continuing the goals of providing affordable housing, Cultivating Small and Emerging businesses and support public services and vulnerable populations. These goals primarily focus on helping residents, maintain and improve their quality of life in the City Of Grand Island. To this end the City of Grand Island will continue to build on goals from the previous Consolidated Plan.

General Allocation Priorities Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) CDBG Dollars are expected to benefit the community of Grand Island as a whole. Projects, especially housing programs and business owner support can be provided to citizens based on their income, not their geographic location. For this reason, the City has chosen to include the entire City as a Geographic Priority area. However, despite this dynamic, there are still areas within Grand Island that have been declared blighted and substandard and are a priority for various types of development - including housing development and business development. For this reason projects that will benefit an area that has been declared blighted or substandard will receive additional attention when reviewing criteria. Additionally, projects that benefit a blighted and substandard area will be considered as fulfilling a National Objective, by addressing slum and blight conditions.

Basis for Relative Priority Vacancy rates are approximately 3% according to the 2019Housing Study for the City of Grand Island. A vacancy rate of 6% also represents a threshold in which rents rise and cause an additional burden on low to moderate income individuals and families. Diversified housing approaches will allow CDBG dollars to address the multiple factors which impact affordable housing.

This initiative also includes providing support for vulnerable populations which could include homelessness assistance and crisis assistance. Basis for Relative Priority The City has many workign relationships with service providers throughout the City of Grand Island, although other than CDBG funding there is no other financial support the City can provide to service providers within our community. Although the City does recognize the need for such services and the positive impact these providers have on our community. When low to moderate income persons receive services that help with daily needs or obstacles, these services help with the overall quality of life within the City of Grand Island.

For this reason, there are no Prior Year resources or Program Income from Entitlement CDBG. The City of Grand Island does have a Program Income Re-Use Fund which consists of CDBG Funds under the State allocation.

Community meetings and planning sessions associated with the 2019 Housing Study and Analysis of Impediments community meetings had a great turnout and great involvement from the community. Therefore, it can be assumed that the goals that were reached within those planning sessions present reasonably accurate goals and strategies for community development and housing. The gaps in the institutional delivery system all stem from a lack of financial resources to meet the broad and varying needs of the community. For this reason, CDBG funding, as prioritized by the Consolidated Plan and subsequent Annual Action plans, plays a very important role in catalyzing community based projects.

There are multiple options for the chronically homeless, including emergency housing assistance and transitional housing assistance. Additionally, people who are chronically homeless are connected to permanent supportive housing; families with children to rapid re- housing; and unaccompanied youth to rapid re-housing and transitional housing. Outreach workers, assessment staff, and case managers all work with these populations to ensure that they are accessing mainstream services. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 99 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 89 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) The Veteran Affairs Healthcare System, located within Grand Island, provides outreach services, housing, and medical services for veterans. Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above While the above services are available and are an important strength within the community, the largest gap in in addressing the special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness is actually not related to the service delivery system, but it is the lack of affordable housing. The Hall County Housing Authority has a waiting list which varies, but generally approaches over 1 year wait. Additionally, there is a shortage of affordable rentals within Grand Island. For this reason, individuals and families often end up in rentals which they cannot afford, and the cost burden plays a large role in eventual homelessness or need for rapid re-housing. The data outlined in the chart above also points to a large gap in services available for persons living with HIV/AIDS. Considering the number of individuals affected by HIV/AIDS within Grand Island, it is not a reasonable use of planning and implementation dollars at this time.

Several factors are a part of theses issues although creation of suitable afforable housing can alleviate the tensions to the current housign demands within the City of Grand Island. Goal Name Cultivate Small and Emerging Businesses2 Goal Description The City of Grand Island continues to complete projects in areas of the City that are in need of rehabilitation. The City will continue to use CDBG funds in a variety of ways in order to support Small businesses within the community. Ways for the City to achieve this goal is to work through partnerhsips that have been cultivated throughout the past CDBG funding years, continuing programs such the small business rental assistance, infrastructure which allows for more businesses to move into Grand Island. Goal Name Support Public Servicves for vulnerable population3 Goal Description The City Of Grand Island will continue to offer non-profit service providers within Grand Island the opportunity to apply for the public Service Grant from the Yearly CDBG allocation. The City will continue to build relationhips with the service providers within our community so that they may be aware of the benefits that may be provided through CDBG assistance. THe city will continue to also plan and complete projects such as infrastructure so that sidewalks and streets are safe and accesible to those with diabilities. Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.315(b)(2) The City of Grand Island does not receive HOME funds at this time, however after the completion of the initial Consolidated Plan; the City will has begun to explore the possibility of applying for HOME funds. The City of Grand Island will work diligently to address the needs of extremely low-income, low-income and moderate-income families through the implementation of the 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 103 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 93 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement – 91.215(c) Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement) The Housing Authority was reviewed for Section 504 compliance in 2011 and entered into a Voluntary Compliance Agreement (VCA) with the Department of Housing & Urban Development shortly thereafter. The VCA has since been retired and a deficiency in the number of accessible units was never a part of the VCA as the agency met and still adheres to the minimum criteria. Activities to Increase Resident Involvements The Hall County Housing Authority currently has three Resident Councils that meet regularly. Other councils have been attempted at other sites but the agency has been unable to find enough volunteers to make them sustainable. The three councils generally meet to provide activities and other initiatives to promote unity and community within their specific building or complex. The Housing Authority will usually meet with the officers from these Councils to form the Resident Advisory Board (RAB) or may simply request volunteers from the Council. Some years general notices are put out if the RAB cannot be formed from the Councils. The Hall County Housing Authority does many other things besides Resident Councils and Resident Advisory Boards to facilitate resident involvement. Coloring, lawn maintenance, and door decoration contests have been regular activities designed to encourage community and pride in resident homes. Various educational programs are offered during the year such as nutritional classes and information on Health Care Reform – for example. HCHA provides the residents with access to a Social Worker who engages residents individually but often will promote or even host community events that all residents may participate in. The agency has also held Ice Cream socials and sporadically has been engaged in national events such as National Night Out. Many of these latter items which, are usually sponsored and staffed by the Housing Authority, are done if time allows which has not been the case the last few years.

According to the 2019 Housing Study’s Workforce Housing Needs Survey, the primary impediments to affordable housing are: For Homeowners Housing Prices Lack of sufficient Homes for Sale(Price) Lack of Sufficient Homes for Sale(Size) Cost of real estate taxes For Renters Cost of Rent Lack of Decent Rental Units in Price Range Municipal regulations such as zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations can provide restrictive parameters for the development of new affordable housing and residential investment. The steps taken to address the balance of zoning and growth, along with other steps intended to address barriers to affordable housing are address in section SP-55. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing Only a limited number of actions are appropriate for the City to participate in, in regard to furthering affordable housing. The City of Grand Island intends to support reasonable housing initiatives that are proposed through the Housing Improvement Partnership. Some possible support options over the next three years include: Support Housing Options: Provide for a range of housing types and densities for all economic segments of the population. Encourage equal and fair access to housing for renters and homeowners. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 106 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 96 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Promote Affordability: Provide affordable housing by formulating innovative policies, regulations and practices, and establishing secure funding mechanisms. Target affordability programs toward households with incomes considered low to moderate income. Support Housing improvement: Encourage preservation, rehabilitation and redevelopment of existing housing stock. Support neighborhood based improvement efforts. Implement Innovative Zoning: Encourage innovative housing policies that provide for affordable housing and maintain neighborhood character. Housing placement near services and centers: Facilitate siting of higher density housing near public transportation facilities and in designated centers and corridors. Home ownership: Promote opportunities for home ownership and owner occupancy of single and multifamily housing.

This dynamic partnership includes collaborative efforts of a variety of community groups, government agencies and a coalition of more than 34 homeless service providers. There are a number of activities within the Continuum of Care that are designed to assess unsheltered populations and connect them with services. The Continuum of Care conducts Grand Island’s coordinated assessment of homelessness, the Point in Time Count. It also does various activities and outreach measures throughout the year. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Continuum of Care serves as a one-stop collaboration point for service providers which address the homeless population in Grand Island or those at risk of becoming homeless in Grand Island. The service providers include emergency shelters, healthcare, transitional housing, public housing, non-profit service providers and many others. Additionally, the Continuum of Care partners with the Housing Improvement Partnership to ensure the needs of extremely low income people and homeless people are being addressed in community-wide planning efforts. 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. These needs are addressed through the City of Grand Island’s relationship with and support of the Continuum of Care. Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 108 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 98 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs These needs are addressed through the City of Grand Island’s relationship with and support of the Continuum of Care.

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 2016- 2019 Consolidated 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; 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.” How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? At this point and time there is no formal information or study information available regarding the extent of Lead Based Paint hazards within Grand Island. However, the City of Grand Island addresses Lead Based Paint hazards with enforcing the above outlined regulations regarding housing rehabilitation and Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 110 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 100 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) tenant based rental programs which are available only to low-moderate income persons who would typically not have sufficient funding to mitigate Lead Based Paint hazards. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The actions above are the outlined actions that appear in the Community Development Policy and Procedures which outline communication, regulation and operational requirements for the Community Development Division. The Community Development Division and sub-recipients abide by the policies and procedures outlined in this manual.

The following actions are taken in an effort to the achieve anti-poverty goal: Supporting programs within the Continuum of Care including but not limited to providers of emergency and transitional shelter and services to persons who are homeless or at risk of being homeless; City Council members and other city staff members serve on various non-profit agency boards including service providers, economic development companies and chambers of commerce. City Council members have also been encouraged to proactively begin the process of addressing the needs of struggling neighborhoods and to engage individuals or groups that could serve as “champions” in neighborhood revitalization within the Council wards. Encourage the development of a long-term plan to address homelessness. Continue to support non-profits in the delivery of basic services through the City of Grand Island’s CDBG funds and general fund for emergency shelter, transitional case management, food, and low income housing programs. Support community vitality through activities that promote a diverse economic base and family wage jobs while providing opportunities for low and moderate income people to become financially independent. Implement planning policies that promote employment and job creation. How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan According to SP-55, the barriers to affordable housing include: For Homeowners Housing Prices Cost of Utilities Lack of Sufficient Homes for Sale Wages For Renters Cost of Rent Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 112 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 102 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Lack of Decent Rental Units in Price Range Cost of Utilities Wages The goals, programs and policies outlined address these affordable housing barriers by placing a large emphasis on addressing the needs of low, very low and extremely low income persons. The barriers described above point to a gap in affordable housing availability, creation of more units and preservation of current housing stock are housing programs which take years to reach the needs as identified. For this reason, CDBG funding being allocated to Continuum of Care members and other public services can meet a “gap” in the meantime, but assisting low income persons in obtaining financial stability until the affordable housing needs and development needs are met.

Throughout the previous Consolidated Plan the City partnered with the Housing Development Corporation to provide a Purchase, Rehab, Resell and an Owner Occupied Rehab program. The Purchase, Rehab, Resell program purchases homes that are on the market (homes will be purchased by Housing Development Corporation first), applies much needed repairs to homes purchases through the program, then resold for homeowners who are 80% or less of the area median income (AMI) at the original purchase price. The Owner Occupied Rehab program will apply much needed repairs to home within Grand Island that belong to low to moderate residents. In the 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan the City of Grand Island is proposing the creation of a non-profit housing development agency known as the Housing Improvement Partnership (HIP). The HIP will bring other funding sources into Grand Island that will aid in the need of affordable quality housing. The goals below are estimates based on the 2019 program year project proposals.

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. 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. The City’s CDBG funds are not sub-awarded directly to the Hall County Housing Authority throughout this Annual Action Plan, although the City plans to use funds in ways to help create affordable quality housing options. It was noted that the work currently being from previous Action Plans such as Public works improvements include waste water projects 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 within the community. 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. The local Continuum of Care is a large group of service providers within Grand Island who each offer unique services tailored to the individuals they serve. These services often are meant to be used for a short time to aid residents in areas such as Job Employment, aid to homeless or near homeless persons, educational help and help to special populations. When service providers are able to provide such services with the help of CDBG funding residents within the community of Grand Island are in a better position to be more in involved in management and participate in homeownership Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 127 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 117 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 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. Discussion Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 128 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 118 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction 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 local Grand Island area Continuum of Care which includes local homeless agencies, conducts annual survey with a point in time count. These surveys are used by many non-service providers within the City to fulfill program requirements and needs. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons 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. 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 Homeless providers are focusing efforts on increasing the bed count for both emergency shelter and transitional housing programs. Funding for these efforts are limited, however. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 129 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 119 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 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. Proposed funding for the CDBG program includes activities targeting improvements in the areas of rapid rehousing and homeless prevention. Discussion 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. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 130 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 120 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 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 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. Discussion: Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 131 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 121 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 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 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 - 8/13/2019 Page 132 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 122 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 through 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 2019-2020 Fiscal Year. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 133 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 123 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 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. 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. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 134 / 408 Consolidated Plan GRAND ISLAND 124 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 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 existing tape backup solution no longer provides the level of durability required in order to recover servers in the event of a disaster or hardware failure for the level of services currently being provided. To remedy the situation, staff have researched and recommended the purchase and installation of the SIRIS4 Enterprise Backup Appliance which includes infinite cloud retention and 36TB of storage capacity. Discussion The SIRIS4 Enterprise Backup Appliance includes 36TB of data storage as well as infinite cloud retention. This will provide greater recovery capabilities in the case of a hardware failure or disaster. Currently, if a server were to fail, the amount of time required for recovery could be extensive depending on the severity of the failure and amount of data residing on that server. With the SIRIS4 Enterprise Backup Appliance, servers would be replicated in the cloud and be able to be brought online within an hour in the case of a hardware failure or disaster. Not only would this provide a more robust recovery solution but also allows us to repair/replace the failed hardware without lengthy service interruption. This solution allows us to maintain a backup of every server on the city domain at a fraction of the cost of deploying redundant servers. The specifications for the enterprise backup solution were put out for bid. Staff asked for bids with a 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year commitment. Two (2) bids were received and opened July 16, 2019. An annual service agreement is required for service along with purchase of the hardware appliance. Committing to additional years beyond the first year, includes discounts on the hardware as well as the annual service cost.

Standards were enforced beginning August 2018, with annual reports submitted to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) to demonstrate compliance. Phase I of this project updated water quality capture volume criteria to reflect drainage conditions unique to the City of Grand Island. Water quality capture volume required for future development was also considered, along with the treatment capability of existing features. Phase II of this project produced technical documentation that established storm water treatment facility design standards and justified how Phase I adjusted water quality capture volume criteria satisfied the Maximum Extent Practicable standard. Implementation of a procedure and method for tracking water quality treatment was also attained. Support for demonstrating these standards and criteria to NDEQ was provided. The City adopted these standards and requirements in a Post Construction Storm Water BMP Master Plan, which was complete by August 2018. This work used the information standard post construction storm water management plan developed by FHU for MS4 communities of which Grand Island participated in as a starting point. On January 23, 2018, via Resolution No. 2018-41, City Council approved an agreement with Felsburg Holt & Ullevig of Lincoln, Nebraska in the amount of $84,840.00 for consulting services for Post Construction Storm Water Best Management Practices Master Plan. This work supported the City of Grand Island’s Storm Water Management Plan. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 225 / 408 Discussion It is necessary to expand the assessment of urban drainage basins from the originally requested four (4) to thirty-three (33), as well as increase the total study area from 10,508 acres to 41,704 acres. It is now requested to supplement the original agreement with Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig to allow for such additional services, in the amount of $27,713.11 for a revised agreement total of $112,553.11. This will allow for the final post construction plan for the whole city as well as finalize the inventory/tracking method to account for areas served within the existing city drainage system. This project is ultimately using the geographic conditions in the City of Grand Island to account for required post-construction runoff without putting more requirements on developers in an effort to help control development cost. 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 Amendment No. 1 to the original agreement with Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig of Lincoln, Nebraska, in the amount of $27,713.11.

Luchsinger, Utilities Director The Burdick Generating Station has three gas turbines which provide peaking and emergency power. These gas turbines have a computer control system which enables the gas turbine to be started and operated locally. The turbine controls on two gas turbines has a limited life span due to the manufacturer no longer supporting it with new parts. To maintain reliability and allow for operation of the gas turbines from the Platte Generating Station, Utility Engineers developed specifications to upgrade the turbine controls and allow for operation from Platte Generating Station. The specification was issued for bid and the contract was awarded by Council to the low responsive bidder, ABB, Inc., of Cleveland, Ohio, for $799,371.42 on October 23, 2018 per Resolution 2018-307.

Steele, Mayor Attest: _______________________________________ RaNae Edwards, City Clerk Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 264 / 408 City of Grand Island Tuesday, August 13, 2019 Council Session Item G-19 #2019-242 - Approving Dell Computer Equipment Purchase for Network Storage Replacement Staff Contact: Patrick Brown, Finance Director Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 265 / 408 Council Agenda Memo From:Patrick Brown, Finance Director Meeting:August 13, 2019 Subject:Approving Dell Computer Equipment purchase for Network Storage Replacement Presenter(s):Patrick Brown, Finance Director Background The datacenter in city hall currently houses about 40tb (terrabytes) of computer information. The information stored in these systems enables the city staff to do their jobs supporting almost every city function. The main parts of the storage system are now seven years old and will no longer be supported by the vendor on September 2nd, 2019. Our desire is to replace these aging units that support critical government functions. Discussion The IT department supports computer operations for every city department. The most important part of the computer system is the files of information stored in it. This storage system is where all of these computer files are stored. The current system was installed approximately seven years ago and has operated continuously since installation without any major interruption. As the City’s information needs have increased this older system was expanded with more storage modules to accommodate the additional information. While it currently has enough capacity (with the expansion modules) the core of the unit can no longer be supported by the vendor and additional expansion is not possible since the vendor has discontinued that model line. This new storage system is compatible with the backup storage system located at our disaster recovery site. The backup Storage Area Network (SAN) unit located at our disaster recovery site mirrors the city hall unit and provides a near real-time backup. In addition to providing faster recovery in the event of a major disaster (fire, flood, tornado, etc.) the unit at Platte Generating Station can also be used remotely in the event the unit at city hall fails for smaller reasons (failed parts, power problem, etc.). Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 266 / 408 The purchase includes one Dell EMC SCv3020 unit including hard drives, controllers, and software licenses. Dell was selected as the vendor for this equipment for several reasons including: The City’s network was built in 1997 with Dell equipment that has proven reliability, great longevity and warranty support. Staying with Dell increases the interoperability with existing equipment and continuity of support. The equipment can be purchased through the Nebraska state contract which has already gone through a bidding process; Contract No. 14252 OC. The total cost of this unit from Dell is $43,668.86. For comparison, the previous 2 units were purchased at a price of $62,904.42 and this one new model will replace both of the old units. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Approve the purchase of $43,668.86 from DELL Marketing LP 2.Disapprove or /Deny 3.Postpone the issue to a future date 4.Take no action on the issue Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the purchase from Nebraska State Contract No. 14252 OC, Vendor DELL Marketing LP in the amount of $43,668.86 for one Dell EMC SCv3020 SAN unit. Sample Motion Move to approve the purchase from DELL Marketing LP, in the amount of $43,668.86. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 267 / 408 A quote for your consideration!

Steele Meeting:August 13, 2019 Subject:Confirming Appointments of Councilmembers to the Council Committee on Budget Policy Presenter(s):Mayor Roger G. Steele Discussion On August 6, 2019, the City Finance Director presented a spread sheet which showed the impact on cash reserves if the City Council approved all 7.75 FTEs discussed in Special Agenda Item #2019-226 – Consideration and Approval of FY 2019/2020 FTE Budget Requests. The Finance Director’s spread sheet is prepared in conformance with the City’s Fiscal Policies Manual (See Resolution 2006-75). The spread sheet is prepared to promote, among other things, a balanced budget, the ability to pay future costs, and the goal that ongoing operating costs should be supported by ongoing, stable revenue sources. These goals have guided the City Council for several years. The Finance Director’s spread sheet shows that the Council’s decision to approve 7.75 FTEs will start diminishing the City’s cash reserves in the year 2021, and the City will have lost almost all of its cash reserves by the year 2025. The Finance Director’s recommendations represent the best practices outlined in the Fiscal Policies Manual. The spread sheet demonstrates the negative impact upon cash reserves if ongoing operating costs are not supported by ongoing, stable revenue sources. During the Special Meeting held on August 6, it was suggested that vacancy savings which occur when money is budgeted for personnel but not spent because the position remains vacant can be used to pay for the additional 7.75 FTEs. Use of vacancy savings in this manner violates the City Council’s Fiscal Policies Manual, which states: Cash balances should be used only for one-time capital expenditures, such as capital equipment and improvements, or contingency accounts. Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 305 / 408 Cash balances, such as vacancy savings, being used for one-time capital expenditures or contingency accounts is a common sense approach because the City cannot know from year to year how much money will remain unspent. As it concerns operating costs being supported by ongoing, stable revenue sources, the Fiscal Policies Manual states: A.Revenue Policies: When exercising the City’s tariff and taxing powers, the City will comply with the following principles: 1.)Stability – A diversified and stable revenue system shall be maintained to ensure fiscal health and absorb short run fluctuations in any one revenue source. Ongoing operating costs should be supported by ongoing, stable revenue sources. (Italics added.) The City Council’s decision to approve 7.75 FTEs was made without regard to the Council’s duty to identify ongoing, stable revenue sources to support the costs of the FTEs. As such, the City Council is not in compliance with its own fiscal policies. The people of Grand Island are expected to obey the rules, regulations and speed limits established by the City Council. If they fail to obey the rules they are given citations and fined. It is not unfair to insist that the City Council comply with its own rules and regulations, as stated in the Fiscal Policies Manual, before it spends the taxpayer’s money. It is not unfair to expect the City Council to support ongoing costs with ongoing, stable revenue sources. In order to assure compliance with the Fiscal Policies Manual, the Mayor deems it necessary to appoint a committee to make recommendations to the City Council to maintain sustainable future budgets, avoid depletion of cash reserves and maintain compliance with the City’s Fiscal Policies Manual. The committee’s duties include, but are not limited to, identifying ongoing, stable revenue sources to support additional spending, and/or identifying cuts to City services. The Mayor appoints the following to serve on the committee: Jason Conley, Chuck Haase, Jeremy Jones, Vaughn Minton and Clay Schutz. 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 - 8/13/2019 Page 306 / 408 Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve the appointments of Jason Conley, Chuck Haase, Jeremy Jones, Vaughn Minton and Clay Schutz to the Budget Policy Committee. Sample Motion Move to approve the appointments of Jason Conley, Chuck Haase, Jeremy Jones, Vaughn Minton and Clay Schutz to the Budget Policy Committee.

Luchsinger, Utilities Director Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney Meeting:August 13, 2019 Subject:Burdick Station Maintenance Building Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director Background The Burdick Station consists of three steam turbine generators and three gas turbines. Units #1 (operational 1956) and #2 (operational 1962) were decommissioned in 2016, and Unit #3 (operational 1972) was decommissioned in 2017. The cooling tower was used to condense steam for Unit #3. In 2015, Black & Veatch was hired to conduct an engineering study. They looked at the feasibility of utilizing the existing steam unit building for future generation. It was concluded that it is more cost effective to raze the existing building than try to retrofit it. The Burdick Steam unit building will be razed in 2020, eliminating the cost associated with maintaining the building, and mitigating all hazardous materials. The three gas turbines will remain operational at Burdick Station and provide peaking and emergency backup power to the City. A new maintenance building will be constructed in the location of the existing cooling tower for auxiliary equipment and to perform maintenance on the gas turbines and future generation. The area of the proposed building will be approximately 6,000 square feet. Plant staff prepared specifications for the new Burdick facility based on the requirements included in the Black & Veatch study. Discussion The Request for Proposals for the Burdick Station Maintenance Building was publicly advertised in accordance with the City Purchasing Code and sent to three potential contractors. Only one proposal to complete the project using the design-build process was received from the following company: Chief Construction, Grand Island, Nebraska $1,740,637.00 Grand Island Council Session - 8/13/2019 Page 312 / 408 The proposal was reviewed by plant management staff and found compliant with specifications and less than the engineer’s estimate of $1,800,000.00. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Move to approve 2.Refer the issue to a Committee 3.Postpone the issue to future date 4.Take no action on the issue presented in this motion Recommendation City Administration recommends that Council award the proposal for the Burdick Station Maintenance Building to Chief Construction of Grand Island, Nebraska as the best evaluated proposal, with a proposal price of not to exceed $1,740,637.00. Sample Motion Move to approve the proposal from Chief Construction of Grand Island, Nebraska, for the Burdick Station Maintenance Building for a price not to exceed $1,740,637.00.

Approximate theoretical spread rate based upon 4 quarts (3.8 L) of water to yield 3.4 gal/0.45 cu ft (12.9 L) unit. Note: Application below minimum or above maximum spreading rates may adversely affect product performance. WORKING TIME Approximately 20-30 minutes at 75ºF (24ºC), & 50% R.H. Placement time is dependent on environmental conditions and mixing water/set control amounts. Do not retemper the mortar with additional water. Note: Do not wait for bleed water. Finish surface as soon as material condition allows. MIXING Remove Series 217 from the 5-gallon plastic pail. Add 3-5 quarts (2.8 to 4.7 L) of potable water to a clean bucket. Note: Elevated water temperature can significantly reduce working time. Optional: Dependent upon the ambient temperature and desired consistency, add up to 3 packets of Series 211-217 Slow Set additive into the mixing water (refer to the Series 211-217 product data sheet). Under mechanical agitation with a slow-speed drill (400-600 rpm) and H-Style (box blade) mixing paddle, slowly sift powder into mixing bucket. Mix 1-4 minutes until fully blended. Avoid extended over-mixing. APPLICATION Substrate: Concrete substrate shall be "pre-wet" or dampened with potable water to a Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) condition prior to Series 217 application; the concrete substrate is darkened by water but there is no pooling of water on the concrete. Bond Coat: Using a masons brush or rubber sponge, work a thin bond coat (scrub coat) of Series 217 into the SSD substrate to ensure intimate contact and to help prevent sloughing or sagging of repair materials on vertical and overhead surfaces. Mortar: Apply the Series 217 with adequate pressure before the scrub coat dries. Thoroughly consolidate the repair material into the corners of patch and around any exposed reinforcement steel in the repair zone. Full encapsulation of the reinforcement and intimate contact with substrate is important for long-term durability. Finishing: Do not wait for bleed water. Finish Series 217 by striking off with a straight edge and close with the recommended concrete finishing tools, as conditions allow, to create a smooth, even surface. CURING External curing is required in accordance with ACI recommendations. Water cure for a minimum of one hour. Cooler temperatures or the use of Series 211-217 may require longer curing times.
