It is hereby declared to be the intent and purpose of the city council in adopting

careful control and regulation of the sale and distribution thereof; and
(C)To ensure that the number of retail outlets and the manner in which they are
operated is such that they can be adequately policed by local law enforcement
agencies so that the abuse of alcohol and the occurrence of alcohol-related crimes
and offenses is kept to a minimum.

309 Kiko's Cantina License Application
Grand Island Police Department
Supplemental Report
Date, Time:8-28-22
Reporting Officer:Sgt Dvorak #309
Unit #:CID
The Garcia family, via Kiko's Cantina and Mexican Eats LLC, has applied for a
new Class C Liquor license; beer, wine and distilled spirits on and off sale,
for their new venture at 101 W 3rd; Kiko's Cantina. Maria, Francisco Jr and
Vanessa Garcia are listed each as 1/3 owners of the LLC.
I am familiar with the Garcia family, and their property ownership on the south
side of 3rd Street. Azteca Market has been a successful market and restaraunt,
and the Brickhouse,Level Up Arcade, and Azteca reception hall are all currently
in operation. Because Azteca Market and Brickhouse both are current liquor
license holders, I conferred with Lt Vitera about his investigations into those
establishments. I also requested, and attached, a density map for the entire
downtown area, because I questioned why the Garcia's need a third liquor license
for three separate entities in the same building.
Vitera advised that he has never recommended approval of the previous liquor
licenses, but has not recommended denial either. The Grand Island Police
Department will remain neutral on this application as well. Vitera explained
several of the issues that he addressed in L16032600 and L18100742, which I have
added as related to this report. I would also like to note that I received
correspondence from City Building Department and City Fire Department
personnel that no final inspections of the remodel to Kiko's Cantina have been
performed/passed, so any recommendation on my part would have to be qualified as
"pending final inspections" from those entities.
Because Lt Vitera completed extensive background checks in 2016 and 2018, and
because the Garcia family already has three valid liquor licenses for their
businesses, I only checked the period from September 2018 until present day when
completing my background checks. I did find that Azteca Market was cited for
Selling Alcohol to a Minor in December 2021. They were assessed, and paid, a
fine $1211.23 by the Commission.
I first noted that there were no active arrest warrants for any of the LLC
owners. I utilized our local database, State NCJIS files, and a paid law
enforcement only site that typically discloses personal information and matters
of a civil nature such as bankruptcies, judgements and leins. Francisco Jr
received a citation in 2018 for defective equipment. Vanessa was ticketed in
2018 for careless driving. Both of these were disclosed in the application
process. Maria has no listed violations. The law enforcement only database
revealed no historical or current bankruptcies, leins or judgements against any
of the LLC shareholders. No disqualifying information was noted for any of the
applicants.
I noted in Spillman files that officers have responded to disturbances, fights,
assaults, sex offenses, or damage to property calls at the Brickhouse more than
50 times since the establishment was granted a liquor license in 2016.
I left messages for Francisco Jr in an effort to meet with him and/or his
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 20 / 306
Officer Report for Incident L22081808 Page 5 of 6

mother. I responded to Azteca Market on 8-29. Neither Francisco Jr nor Maria
were present at the store. Francisco Sr was working, and he used his cell phone
to call Maria and let me speak to her. Maria said she believes she currently
holds the three active liquor licenses, not Francisco Jr. She said Francisco Jr
will be the manager for Kiko's Cantina. Maria advised that Francisco Jr was
currently in Las Vegas, and would not return util Thursday evening.
I asked Maria why they applied for a Class C license for the new restaurant.
Maria explained that they were not offering carry out beer or liquor sales, but
were told by the Commission or their lawyer that they had to apply for a Class C
license since they intend to have an al fresco dining area on the sidewalk to
the east side of the building.
I contacted Shannon from the Liquor Commission. She confirmed that Maria is the
license holder for a Class I license at Level Up #122716; a Class I license for
Brickhouse #119813; and Class D license at Azteca Market #122717.

Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Public Hearing on Acquisition of Public Right-of-Way for
Claude Road; Faidley Avenue to State Street; Project No.
2022-P-4 (Staab Brothers Partnership- 1810 N Diers Avenue)
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
The Claud Road; Faidley Avenue to State Street project is for the addition and improvement of
several roadways in the City of Grand Island. It is anticipated that these projects will occur over
several years at a pace dictated by budgets, development growth and need. A Claude Road
extension from just north of Faidley Avenue to State Street is the major focus of this project. It
is desired to build this roadway and several connections to Diers Avenue guided by an existing
City of Grand Island concept plan. This project will allow for improvements to the Diers
Avenue corridor intended to control access and improve traffic performance and safety. These
Diers Avenue improvements are the second component to this project. Also associated with this
project is the potential for improvements to the Highway 281 and 30 corridors adjacent to the
other project areas. These improvements would focus on creating north and southbound left-turn
lane offsets as well as right turn lanes to exit from the highway. This portion of the project
would involve potential application of NDOT safety funds and would involve coordination with
NDOT throughout the project.
The Public Works Department is proposing a concrete curb and gutter roadway section along
with sidewalk, traffic control, drainage and all other associated improvements needed to
complete the project.
Nebraska State Statutes stipulate that the acquisition of property requires a public hearing to be
conducted with the acquisition approved by the City Council.
Discussion
Public right-of-way is needed to accommodate one of the connections from Diers Avenue to the
new Claude Road section. The property owner has signed the necessary documents to grant the
property, as shown on the attached drawing.

CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA
MINUTES OF CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING
August 30, 2022
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of
Grand Island, Nebraska was conducted in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 100 East First
Street, on August 30, 2022. Notice of the meeting was given in The Grand Island Independent
on August 24, 2022.
Mayor Roger G. Steele called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The following City Council
members were present: Mike Paulick, Justin Scott, Michelle Fitzke, Mark Stelk, Jason Conley,
Vaughn Minton, Bethany Guzinski, Maggie Mendoza, Mitch Nickerson, and Chuck Haase. The
following City Officials were present: City Administrator Jerry Janulewicz, City Clerk RaNae
Edwards, Interim City Attorney Stacy Nonhof, Finance Director Patrick Brown, and Public
Works Street Superintendent Shannon Callahan.
The PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE was said.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Public Hearing on FY 2022-2023 Annual Single City Budget and the Annual Appropriations
Bill. Finance Director Patrick Brown reported that the following was a comparison of the fiscal
year 2023 proposed budget to the FY2022 adopted budget:
The FY2023 budget appropriation is 8.8% or $20,435,226 higher than the FY2022
adopted budget. The difference is mainly due to increase costs from inflation, delayed
capital purchases from FY2022 (supply chain issues), and appropriation of American
Rescue Plan funds of $4,546,940 for potential project(s).
All Funds Revenue projections for FY2023 increased 8.3% or $16,200,412 over FY2022
budget.
Overall the City’s property tax valuation increased 5%. The City is requesting to increase
its tax ask for Property Tax by 4% of which the City keeps 3% and the County gets an
administration fee of 1%. Community Redevelopment Authority is requesting the same
tax ask as FY2022 ($745,146) and an additional 1% fee for Hall County’s administration
fee. The City’s mill levy will decrease for the fourth straight year from 0.323600 to
0.319454.
Total Sales Tax revenue is forecasted at $24,085,936 for FY2023. It is a 10.4% or
$2,275,300 increase over FY2022 budget. The increase was due to the sustained increase
in sales tax collections in the last year and quarter.
All other revenue sources in the General Fund account for $2,766,770 increase over
FY2022 budget. A large portion of the increase is due to the rebalancing of revenues and
costs between the General Fund and Enterprise Funds.
Transfers decreased in the FY2023 by $7,057,176 due to American Rescue Plan funds
not being transferred (they have been including in budget authority to spend) and not
transferring funds to Solid Waste for financing the improvements at the Transfer Station.

Receipt of Official Document – Tort Claim filed by Brad Johnson
Staff Contact: Laura McAloon
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 44 / 306
Council Agenda Memo
From:Laura McAloon, City Attorney
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Receipt of Official Document – Tort Claim filed by Brad
Johnson
Presenter(s):Laura McAloon, City Attorney
Background
The City of Grand Island has received a Notice of Tort Claim from Brad Johnson
alleging certain claims for an incident which occurred on September 14, 2021. Mr.
Johnson, individually and as the Special Administrator of the Estate of Carley Johnson is
claiming negligent handling of a prior traffic incident caused the automobile collision on
I-80 Westbound resulting in the injuries and death of Carley Johnson. The claim does not
allege any actions on the part of the City or City employees and simply states that the
City is being put on notice of the claims against other government agents in case the City
had some involvement with the incidents on September 14, 2021. A copy of the claim is
attached.
Without getting into issues concerning the City’s and other parties’ liability, and whether
the claim of Brad Johnson is fair and reasonable, we are simply providing a copy of this
claim to you in compliance with the Nebraska Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act.
For a person to assert a tort claim against the City of Grand Island, a written notice of the
claim must be filed with the City Clerk, Secretary or other official responsible for
keeping official records. The claim must be filed within one year of the accrual of the
claim, and the Council has six months to act on the claim. No suit can be filed until after
the Council acts on the claim, or the six months has run.
Historically, the City of Grand Island has simply let the six months run. Not all claims
result in a suit being filed, so it makes good sense to not act affirmatively in many
instances. In any event, if you wish to look further into this claim, please contact the City
Attorney’s office, and we will provide you with any additional information we may have
regarding the claim. Our recommendation is to continue to take no affirmative action on
tort claims. It must be emphasized that by providing copies of alleged claims to you, we
are not making an admission or representation that a claim has been properly filed in any
respect. We also recommend that no comments concerning a particular claim be made
during Council meetings, unless you decide to bring the matter on for formal
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 45 / 306
consideration. Even then, we ask that comments be carefully considered so that the legal
rights of all parties are preserved.
Discussion
This is not an item for council action other than to simply acknowledge that the claim has
been received.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council take no action other than acknowledge
receipt of the claim.
Sample Motion
Move to approve acknowledgement of the Tort Claim filed by Brad Johnson.

309 Texas Roadhouse Liquor Manager
Grand Island Police Department
Supplemental Report
Date, Time:8-24-22
Reporting Officer:Sgt Dvorak #309
Unit #:CID
Christina R Black has applied to be designated the new Liquor Manager for Texas
Roadhouse restaurant. Todd Black signed the application as Christina's
non-participating spouse. The Blacks indicate they have resided in Grand Island
since 2019. Christina indicates she has been employed by Texas Roadhouse for two
years.
I utilized our local database, State NCJIS files, and a paid law enforcement
only web site to check background information for the couple. I found that
neither has an active warrant for their arrest. The Blacks have few entries in
Spillman locally, and nothing of concern. In State of NE files I located two
minor traffic violations, which were not self reported on the application.
However, both convictions were for minor violations and both were four or five
years ago, and I am not concerned about the omission.
The private, law enforcement only database tends to cover incidents of a civil
nature, to include foreclosures, liens and bankruptcies. I noted nothing
current, or anything that would prevent Christina from being a liquor manager.
I contacted Christina Black by telephone, and she confirmed biographical
information. We discussed matters involving her new title, and her
responsibilities regarding both her's and restaurant staff. Black advised she
understood.
The Grand Island Police Department finds no reason that Christina Black should
not be appointed Liquor Manager for the Grand Island Texas Roadhouse location.

Meeting Date: September 13, 2022 Subject: Coal Bunker Unloading Platform Concrete Coating Presenter(s): Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Platte Generating Station utilizes a coal-fired boiler for its operation. The unit uses Powder River Basin Coal from various mines in the basin. Coal is stored in four elevated silos built integral to the building superstructure. Each coal silo can store 650 tons of coal. A 25’ by 150’ staging area serves as an unloading platform. In the case of a unit trip, the coal silos are unloaded into trucks and the unburned coal is piled on the south
side of the plant site. The concrete staging area is original to the plant and is showing signs of wear. To prevent further damage of the concrete surface, Plant staff developed a scope of work and specification to repair and resurface the platform.
Discussion
Specifications for the Coal Bunker Unloading Platform Concrete Coating were advertised
and issued for bid in accordance with the City Purchasing Code. Bids were publicly opened on August 23, 2022. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $90,000.00. Bidder Bid Price

Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Electric Overhead Division of the Utilities Department has a 2010 Freightliner with a
digger derrick. This vehicle has approximately 46,000 miles and 7,800 hours which is
equivalent to approximately 260,000 miles on the engine and power transmission
equipment. This is the largest digger derrick in our fleet. It is the only truck capable of
setting transmission poles and laminate distribution poles. This vehicle is in need of
replacement due to a variety of potentially costly maintenance issues. The truck has
multiple hydraulic leaks and needs a new hydraulic pump. Due to the extended lead time
of two years or more currently being experienced on vehicles, it is recommended to order
a replacement as soon as possible.
Discussion
The Grand Island City Council approved the use of the National Joint Powers Alliance
Buying Group (now Sourcewell) on October 28, 2014 with Resolution 2014-326. To
meet competitive bidding requirements, the Utilities Department obtained pricing from
the Sourcewell Contract No.110421-TER awarded to Terex Corp.
Specifications for replacement of Unit #1573 were prepared by Department staff
resulting in a recommendation of a 2024 Freightliner M2-106 with Hydraulic Rotating
Digger Derrick from Terex Corp., of Watertown, South Dakota, in the amount of
$434,343.00.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Change Order #1 for Water Main
Project 2022-W-1 – 18th Street
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
Water Main Project 2022-W-1 installed approximately 328 linear feet of 6” diameter
ductile iron pipe for water main lowerings in the 18th Street/Park Avenue, 18th
Street/Grand Island Avenue and 18th Street/Huston Avenue intersections. The project
resolved previously unknown storm sewer and water main conflicts within the three
intersections.
Discussion
The original contract was awarded by City Council on March 22, 2022, in the amount of
$156,216.80 to The Diamond Engineering Company of Grand Island, Nebraska.
Additional items were required to complete the project. Three existing water services
were encountered within the abandonment areas and needed to be reconnected.
Additional water main fittings were installed to maintain required clearances between
water main and storm sewer and due to the existing water main being oversized. The total
cost for additional items is $5,075.00.
During the process of constructing the contract, materials were added or deducted to
complete the work. Unit prices were provided in the Contract and specified that the
contractor be paid on the basis of actual quantity installed, times the Contract’s unit price.
A significant portion of this increase was due to the existing water main alignment and
location of existing water main joints. Water main tap locations had to be adjusted
therefore affecting the amount of slip joint pipe and mechanical joint pipe installed. This
total is $6,310.65.
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 107 / 306
The original Engineer’s estimate was $200,000.00. The original contract was for
$156,216.80. The total changes to the contract amount to $11,385.65. This results in a
final contract cost of $167,602.45.

Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 109 / 306
REASONS FOR MODIFICATIONS:
During the process of constructing the contract, materials were added or deducted to complete
the work. Unit prices were provided in the Contract and specified that the contractor be paid on
the basis of actual quantity installed, times the Contract’s unit prices. A significant portion of
this increase was due to the existing water main alignment and location of existing water main
joints. Water main tap locations had to be adjusted therefore affecting the amount of slip joint
pipe and mechanical joint pipe installed. Additional items were required to complete the
project. Three existing water services were encountered within the abandonment areas and
needed to be reconnected. Additional water main fittings were installed to maintain required
clearances between water main and storm sewer and due to the existing water main being
oversized.

#2022-245 - Approving Designation of Sole Source for Raw Sewage
Pumps at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
Staff Contact: Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 113 / 306
Council Agenda Memo
From:Matt Walker PE, Assistant Public Works Director-
Wastewater
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Approving Designation of Sole Source for Raw Sewage
Pumps at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
There are six (6) total raw sewage pumps located in the Headworks building at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant, which are used to pump incoming sewage for treatment.
Two (2) of these pumps can run up to six (6) million gallons a day (mgd), with the other
four (4) pumps able to run up to ten (10) million gallons a day. The pumps are in two (2)
redundant wet wells, with each designed to handle the normal daily influent flow while
allowing maintenance to be done on the pumps and ancillary equipment in one (1) wet
well at a time.
Due to a large piece of debris going through the pump station one of the 10 mgd raw
sewage pumps was damaged beyond repair, thus a replacement is necessary. The
replacement pump is needed to keep the redundancy of the pump station in place and to
maintain capacity for wet weather events at design levels.
Discussion
Iowa Pump Works of Ankeny, Iowas has a factory refurbished pump on hand for quick
placement at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Iowa Pump Works does have the secured
sales territory for Grand Island, letter attached for reference.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant is seeking approval to purchase the refurbished pump
from Iowa Pump Works of Ankeny, Iowa in the total amount of $40,400.00 ($400.00 is
to cover shipping & handling).
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:

Subject:Approving Increase to the City’s Share of Improvements
to US Highway 30 Bridges in Grand Island; Project No.
NH-30-4(162); Control No. 42776
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
On February 26, 2019 the Grand Island City Council, via Resolution No. 2019-78,
approved the agreement between the City and Nebraska Department of Transportation
(NDOT) for the improvements to US Highway 30 bridges at the junction of US Highway
30 and US Highway 281/North 2 and from the intersection of US Highway 30 and Old
Lincoln Highway east to the intersection of US Highway 30 and Grant Street.
Improvements to this stretch of roadway consist of:
Repairing and milling the existing roadway and resurfacing with asphalt;
Replacing approaches, remodeling abutments and wing walls, replacing or
constructing median barrier, and sidewalk overlay, as well as other necessary
repairs.
The total cost of work within City limits was originally estimated to be 1,842,000.00,
with the City’s share at $213,200.00. The City of Grand Island will pay 10% of the
construction for the roadway improvements, and 50% of the construction costs for the
pedestrian detour, as well as 5% of the construction engineering services, calculated at
5% of the City’s total construction costs.
Discussion
The total construction contract was awarded to Iowa Civil Contracting, Inc. by NDOT in
the amount of $2,395,446.29, with a 2% contingency ($47,908.93) factored in for a total
possible construction amount of $2,443,355.22. The City’s share of construction costs for
the improvements is $297,496.61, with an additional $14,874.83 to cover construction
engineering. With project contingencies and construction engineering the City’s share has
increased from the estimated $213,200.00 to $312,371.44. The NDOT invoice for this
project has been attached for review.
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 132 / 306
At this time the City has paid $150,645.85 towards the amount owed.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the increase of the City’s
share for the US Highway 30 Bridges in Grand Island; Project No. NH-30-4(162);
Control No. 42776 with the Nebraska Department of Transportation, for a total amount of
$312,371.44.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Approving Temporary Construction Easement for Claude
Road; Faidley Avenue to State Street; Project No. 2022-
P-4 (Staab Brothers Partnership- 1810 N Diers Avenue)
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
The Claud Road; Faidley Avenue to State Street project is for the addition and
improvement of several roadways in the City of Grand Island. It is anticipated that these
projects will occur over several years at a pace dictated by budgets, development growth
and need. A Claude Road extension from just north of Faidley Avenue to State Street is
the major focus of this project. It is desired to build this roadway and several connections
to Diers Avenue guided by an existing City of Grand Island concept plan. This project
will allow for improvements to the Diers Avenue corridor intended to control access and
improve traffic performance and safety. These Diers Avenue improvements are the
second component to this project. Also associated with this project is the potential for
improvements to the Highway 281 and 30 corridors adjacent to the other project areas.
These improvements would focus on creating north and southbound left-turn lane offsets
as well as right turn lanes to exit from the highway. This portion of the project would
involve potential application of NDOT safety funds and would involve coordination with
NDOT throughout the project.
The Public Works Department is proposing a concrete curb and gutter roadway section
along with sidewalk, traffic control, drainage and all other associated improvements
needed to complete the project.
A temporary construction easement is needed to accommodate the construction activities
for Claude Road; Faidley Avenue to State Street; Project No. 2022-P-4, which must be
approved by City Council. The temporary construction easement will allow for the
roadway improvements to this area.
A sketch is attached to show the temporary construction easement area.
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 143 / 306
Discussion
A temporary construction easement is needed for Claude Road; Faidley Avenue to State
Street; Project No. 2022-P-4 to be constructed.
Engineering staff of the Public Works Department negotiated with the property owner for
use of such temporary construction easement area.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Approving Assistance to Firefighter Grant
Presenter(s):Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Background
The Grand Island Fire Department (GIFD) utilizes self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) to supply safe breathing air to firefighters while they are working in atmospheres
that are immediately dangerous to life and health. The current SCBAs in use are over 15
years old and in need of replacement. Due to budget challenges, the decision was made to
apply for an Assistance to Firefighters Grant to help with the cost.
Discussion
The GIFD applied for a grant from the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program on
January 21, 2022 to assist with the purchase of SCBAs. On August 31, 2022, the GIFD
was notified that an AFG was awarded in the amount of $352,545.45. Fire administration
is requesting Council’s approval to accept the grant. In addition to the grant funds, the
City will have approximately $150,000 in additional expense to purchase SCBAs for the
fire department. The purchase of new SCBAs was included in the GIFD’s capital budget
request for FY 2022-23.
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

Discussion
The GIFD requests Council approval to purchase 57 SCBAs, 114 air bottles, 76
facepieces, 4 RIT packs, and other related accessories to replace their current outdated
units. A committee of GIFD members identified MSA as the preferred SCBA
manufacturer based on quality, features, warranty, and service after the sale. The GIFD
utilized the HGAC buying group to solicit a competitive bid from MSA Safety Sales LLC
of Cranberry Township, PA for the amount of $499,843.20. The GIFD’s FY 2022-23
capital budget included budget authority of $525,000 for the purchase of SCBAs. Due the
$352,545.45 grant from FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, the City’s

Labor Contract between the City of Grand Island and the
Fraternal Order of Police Grand Island Lodge No. 24 Bargaining

Staff Contact: Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 158 / 306
Council Agenda Memo
From:Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Consideration of Approving Memorandum of
Understanding to the Labor Contract between the City of
Grand Island and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP)
Grand Island Lodge No. 24 Bargaining Unit
Presenter(s): Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Background
The City Of Grand Island (City) maintains a labor agreement with the Fraternal Order of
Police (FOP) Grand Island Lodge No. 24. Proposed changes to the labor agreement must
be mutually agreed upon between the City and the Union.
In December of last year, Council approved a referral incentive for existing Officers who
successfully recruit applicants. The referral program offers a $300 incentive towards the
referral of one non-certified applicant that makes the Civil Service eligibility list. A $500
incentive for the referral of two or more non-certified applicants that make the eligibility
list. A $500 incentive for the referral of one or more certified applicants the make the
eligibility list. Lastly, a $1,700 incentive if one or more of the referred applicants is hired.
Discussion
The staffing of Police Officers at the Grand Island Police Department continues to be an
issue. While positions are being filled, turnover is outpacing recruitment.
The Police Department and FOP would like to continue the referral incentive program to
run concurrent with the new labor agreement. The labor agreement runs from October 1,
2022 through September 30, 2025. The referral incentive has been beneficial. We have
seen an increase in quality applicants and now certified applicants. In the May 2022
testing cycle, three non-certified applicant referrals made the eligibility list and two non-
certified candidates were hired. In the August 2022 testing cycle, four non-certified
applicant referrals and two certified applicant referrals made the eligibility list.
Employment offers are still in process in the current cycle.

Staff Contact: Todd McCoy
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 165 / 306
Council Agenda Memo
From:Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Approving Amendment to Fundraising Agreement for
the Fundraising of a New Playground at Ryder Park
Presenter(s):Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
City was approached by students and staff from the Central Community College
Occupational Therapy Class with the idea of raising funds to building a new community
inclusive playground. After much discussion and excitement generated from community
leaders, City staff, and the Community Foundation, the decision was made to move
forward to raise money for the project proposed at Ryder Park. The location was chosen
because Ryder Park is centrally located, has good access to parking and restrooms, and
has potential to benefit from future park developments.
In July of 2021 City Council approved Resolution 2021-186 to add a new playground in
Ryder Park.
On January 11, 2022 via Resolution 2022-13 City Council approved an agreement with
the Central Community College Foundation, Inc. (CCCF) and the Greater Grand Island
Community Foundation for fundraising of the Ryder Park playground.
On April 12, 2022 City Council approved Resolution 2022-104 to name the proposed
playground after Tom and Sue Pirnie because of their $200,000 gift and recognize donors
of $5,000 or more with onsite signage.
Discussion
Initially CCCF planned to handle all the fundraising efforts for the playground; however,
CCCF found that there are potential grants that requires the owner to apply.
City staff recommends amending the fundraising agreement so that the City can help with
fundraising efforts by applying for grants that require the owner’s submission.
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 166 / 306
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 City Council approve the agreement
amendment for fundraising of a donated playground to be constructed in Ryder Park so
that private funds can be raised for the project.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the agreement amendment.

#2022-256 - Approving Change Order #1 for Stolley Park Splash
Pad
Staff Contact: Todd McCoy
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 174 / 306
Council Agenda Memo
From:Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Approving Stolley Park Splash Pad Change Order No. 1
Presenter(s):Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
Replacing the Stolley Park wading pool with a new splash pad is included in the current
City budget. The Stolley wading pool is nearly 40 years old and is labor intensive to
maintain. A modern splash pad will require less maintenance and be an attractive addition
to Stolley Park.
On March 8, 2022 City Council approved Resolution 2022-59 to demo the existing
Stolley wading pool.
On April 26, 2022 Council approved Resolution 2022-121 to construct a new splash pad
at Stolley Park.
Discussion
Staff is recommending adding Life Floor safety surfacing to enhance the splash pad
project at Stolley Park. Adding the nonslip rubberized flooring will not only increase
safety but make the splash pad more appealing and attractive to users.
From the Life Floor website www.lifefloor.com:
“At Life Floor, we believe safety surfacing dramatically improves the user experience. It
completes the immersive experience you’ve planned and budgeted for, combining safety,
playfulness, and utility all in one. In fact, because of the way Life Floor performs with water,
it’s actually an additional added feature that activates the entire splash pad. Life Floor is a
feature because it encourages different kinds of play. The entire splash zone is energized
when Life Floor is the surface. Kids cartwheel, jump, somersault, crawl, and tumble their
way through spray features. In other words, users play in more ways with Life Floor. By
equipping the surface for play, designers can engage 90% more of the aquatic facility.”
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 175 / 306
Approval of Change Order No. 1 will increase the cost of the contract with Crouch
Recreation to construct a splash pad by $38,450.00.
Food and Beverage Tax proceeds will be utilized to complete the project.
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 City Council approve Change Order No. 1 with
Crouch Recreation, Inc. of Elkhorn, Nebraska in the amount of $38,450.00 for a new
contract total of $233,355.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Change Order No. 1 to Crouch Recreation, Inc. of Elkhorn, Nebraska.

Item G-29
#2022-260 - Approving Renewal of Machinery Property Peril, Fire
and Terrorism Insurance with FM Global for 2022-23
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 200 / 306
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Renewal of Machinery Property Peril, Fire and Terrorism
Insurance with FM Global for 2022 - 2023
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Utilities Department Boiler and Machinery Property Peril and Fire insurance is
specifically designed for Electric Utility and is readily adaptable to the Water Utility,
which is also included in the coverage. The standard policy excludes losses due to acts of
terrorism unless the optional Terrorism Insurance is accepted. The Utilities Department’s
insurance provider, FM Global, provided the attached proposal for renewal of the present
coverage.
The complete policy is available in the Utilities office for review, along with a Policy
Holder Disclosure form for execution by the City, either accepting or rejecting terrorism
coverage. The renewal proposal and proposed policy have been reviewed by the Legal
Department.
Discussion
The proposed renewal is based on an insured valuation of $561,571,878, an increase of
10% from the previous year, with the annual all-risk premium changing from $549,612
for the current year to $634,802 for the 2022-2023 year, and an annual Terrorism
Insurance premium of $36,713. The increase in valuation is due to the current escalation
of construction costs. FM Global has applied a 10% membership credit of $87,949 in
recognition of the long relationship between FM and the City as well as a 5% resiliency
credit of $29,316 for improvements to strengthen Department facilities from natural risks.
This results in a total premium of $592,750, which includes the Terrorism Insurance and
policy fee of $38,500 from our broker, FNIC.
The probability that a relatively remote location in the central part of the nation would be
targeted for a terrorist attack may be very unlikely, but the determination of a terrorist
attack is not clearly defined, such as an attack like the Oklahoma City Federal Building.
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 201 / 306
Regardless of the cause, the loss of a high valued asset as the Platte Generating Station
must be protected from risk, and the acceptance of Terrorism Insurance is recommended.
Execution of the Notice of Terrorism Insurance Coverage form is required annually and
is recommended by the Utilities Department for approval.
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 renewal of the Utilities
Department’s Terrorism Insurance with FM Global with execution of the Notice of
Terrorism Insurance Coverage form to accept that coverage.
Sample Motion
Move to approve renewal of the Utilities Department’s Terrorism Insurance with FM
Global with execution of the Notice of Terrorism Insurance Coverage form to accept that
coverage.

Terrorism
US Terrorism
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 as amended and extended in 2005, 2007, 2015 and again in
2019, requires that insurers advise clients of their option to elect or reject terrorism coverage under the
act as part of their property program. It also requires insurers to disclose the cost of such coverage for
the policy term. As a brief reminder, the act provides licensed, admitted carriers with a substantial
federal reinsurance backstop for terrorism acts that are certified by the Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States as covered events (known as certified losses). Generally speaking, the act responds
strictly to events that take place within the United States, its protectorates, territories, and possessions.
The Act has been extended to expire on 31 December 2027.
Pursuant to the act, we are offering certified terrorism cover in the United States with no specific
terrorism limit of liability meaning your certified terrorism limit would be equal to the policy limit of
liability or any location or coverage sublimits in your policy. In addition, in the United States, the policy
would no longer be subject to a terrorism sublimit for Flood, Miscellaneous Unnamed Locations,
Miscellaneous Personal Property, Off Premises Storage For Property Under Construction, and
Temporary Removal of Property and any terrorism exclusion for Service Interruption, Contingent Time
Element Extended, Protection And Preservation of Property, Ingress/Egress, Logistics Extra Cost,
Extended Period of Liability, Crisis Management and Attraction Property coverages.
The premium for certified coverage is USD 36,713 for the term of October 1, 2022 to October 1, 2023
and does not include applicable taxes or surcharges.
We have provided the Policyholder Disclosure Notice of Terrorism Coverage document. Please note
the Disclosure form must be completed, signed and returned to Kevin Doak, Account Manager – Client
Service, FM Global indicating your choice to accept or reject the certified terrorism coverage offered.
TERRORISM
As respects locations outside the United States and Puerto Rico, terrorism coverage is provided with a
limit of USD5,000,000 in the aggregate during any policy year but not to exceed the following limit(s)
in the aggregate during any policy year:
a) USD5,000,000 limit in the aggregate during any policy year for miscellaneous unnamed locations,
MISCELLANEOUS PERSONAL PROPERTY, OFF PREMISES STORAGE FOR PROPERTY
UNDER CONSTRUCTION and TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF PROPERTY combined
b) USD5,000,000 limit in the aggregate during any policy year for flood when caused by or resulting
from terrorism
These limits shall not include the actual cash value portion of fire damage caused by terrorism.
Please see the attachment for the Terrorism Disclosure.

Subject:Proposed Blighted and Substandard Area #28
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, Director Grand Island CRA
Background
Enclosed you will find a copy of a Substandard and Blight Study as prepared for
Woodsonia Acquisitions LLC by Marvin Planning Consultants. This study is
approximately 78.45 acres of property in northwest Grand Island located between U.S.
Highway 281 and Webb Road and State and 13th Streets. The study as prepared and
submitted indicates that this property could be considered blighted and substandard. The
full study is attached for your review and consideration. A similar study was prepared
and submitted to Council in November of 2018. Council submitted the study to the
Planning Commission but no action was ever taken on that study as the
developer/applicant pulled the study from consideration prior to any action.
Woodsonia Acquisitions LLC has submitted this study for the review and consideration
of the Grand Island City Council as permitted by Nebraska law. The decision on whether
to declare an area blighted and substandard is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City
Council with a recommendation from the Planning Commission. If the study is approved
it is anticipated that an application for Tax Increment Financing would follow.
The question before Council will be whether to send the study to the Planning
Commission for its review and feedback. If the item is not sent to the Planning
Commission, the Council cannot declare the area blighted and substandard. Planning
Commission will meet October 5, and would have a recommendation ready following
that meeting.
Once an area has been declared blighted and substandard, the CRA can accept
redevelopment proposals for the area. Woodsonia Acquisitions LLC has a contract to
purchase the Conestoga Mall Property including Lots 1, 4 and 5 of Conestoga Mall
Eighth Subdivision including the Mall and Sears building and the former Napoli’s
building. It is the intent of the applicants to redevelop this property if it can be acquired
for commercial and residential purposes. The contract to purchase the property is
contingent on city approval for Tax Increment Financing.

Discussion
The action item tonight relates to the study for proposed CRA Area No. 28 (this number
has been held in reserve since 2018) in northwest Grand Island as shown below. The
study was prepared for 55.3 acres, all of which is in the Grand Island City Limits.
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 208 / 306
While practicing as Grand Island City Attorney, Jerry Janulewicz reviewed the Nebraska
Statutes and case law pertaining to the declaration of property as blighted and
substandard. His comments on this application are as follows:
The statutes which provide for the creation of a redevelopment area or redevelopment
project within a redevelopment area require the following procedure:
A request is made to the city council to declare an area to be substandard and blighted
and in need of development for purposes of enabling the creation of a redevelopment area
or a redevelopment project within a redevelopment area.
The city council submits the question of whether an area is substandard and blighted to
the planning commission for its review and recommendation prior to making its
declaration that an area is substandard and blighted.
The planning commission must hold a public hearing and submit its written
recommendations within 30 days holding a public hearing on the request.
Upon receipt of the recommendations from the planning commission the city council may
make its findings and declaration with respect to the property within an area.
Unless the city council of the city in which such area is located has, by resolution adopted
after a public hearing with notice, declared such area to be a substandard and blighted
area in need of redevelopment, the Community Redevelopment Agency cannot prepare a
redevelopment plan for a redevelopment project area.
Following a declaration that an area is substandard and blighted, the Community
Redevelopment Agency is authorized to prepare or cause to be prepared and recommend
redevelopment plans to the governing body of the city and to undertake and carry out
redevelopment projects within its area of operation and may enter into contracts with
redevelopers of property containing covenants, restrictions, and conditions regarding the
use of such property for residential, commercial, industrial, or recreational purposes or
for public purposes in accordance with the redevelopment plan and such other covenants,
restrictions, and conditions as the authority may deem necessary to prevent a recurrence
of substandard and blighted areas or to effectuate the purposes of the Community
Development Law, and to provide grants, loans, or other means of financing to public or
private parties in order to accomplish the rehabilitation or redevelopment in accordance
with a redevelopment plan. Within the area of operation of the Community
Redevelopment Authority, the authority may exercise its statutory powers with respect to
the redevelopment project.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 18-2107; 18-2109.
As stated in Fitzke v. City of Hastings, 582 N.W.2d 301 (Neb. 1998):
A CRA is not authorized to prepare a redevelopment plan for a redevelopment
project area unless the governing body of the city first enacts a resolution
declaring such area to be “a substandard or blighted area in need of
redevelopment.” § 18–2109. After such a declaration has been made and a
redevelopment plan has been prepared and approved, a CRA is authorized to
enter into contracts with redevelopers of property containing covenants,
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 209 / 306
restrictions, and conditions regarding the use of such property for residential,
commercial, industrial, or recreational purposes or for public purposes in
accordance with the redevelopment plan and such other covenants, restrictions,
and conditions as the [CRA] may deem necessary to prevent a recurrence of
substandard or blighted areas ... and to provide grants, loans, or other means of
financing to public or private parties in order to accomplish the rehabilitation or
redevelopment in accordance with a redevelopment plan.§ 18–2107(4). The CRA
may utilize tax increment financing to pay for redevelopment projects undertaken
pursuant to the CDL. § 18–2124.
“Under this statutory scheme, a private development project would be eligible for tax increment
financing only if it is included within an area which has previously been declared blighted or
substandard and is in furtherance of an existing redevelopment plan for that area. The declaration
of property as blighted or substandard is not simply a formality which must be met in order to
assist a private developer with tax increment financing; it is the recognition of a specific public
purpose which justifies the expenditure of public funds for redevelopment.” Fitzke, id, citing
Monarch Chemical Works, Inc. v. City of Omaha, 203 Neb. 33, 277 N.W.2d 423 (1979). The
legislative intent underlying the Community Development Law is the elimination of blighted and
substandard areas and to prevent the reoccurrence of blight through a cooperative effort of the
public and private sectors, not to aid private developers. Fitzke, id.
At this point, Council is only making a decision about whether to forward the study to the
Planning Commission for its recommendation or not. According to NRSS §18-2109, it is
clear that the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing and have the opportunity
to review the Blight Study prior to Council declaring the property substandard and
blighted. If Council wishes to consider a declaration of substandard and blight, State
Statute requires that the question of whether an area is substandard and blighted is
submitted to the Planning Commission for hearing, review and recommendation.
Blighted Area of the Community
The City of Grand Island, as a City of the First Class, is permitted to designate an area of
up to 35% of the municipal limits as blighted and substandard. As of September 6, 2022,
24.78% of the City has been declared blighted and substandard. Area 28 would add 78.45
acres to the total of blighted and substandard property and would, if approved, add 0.40%
to the total area declared blighted and substandard bringing the total to 25.19%. A
companion study has also been submitted that identifies areas of Grand Island including
this area that could also be declared extremely blighted. Any area that is declared
extremely blighted is not counted against the 35% maximum area that can be declared
blighted and substandard so if those areas are identified as extremely blighted the total
will drop below 25%.
It does not appear that the declaration of Area 28 would significantly impact the City’s
ability to declare other areas blighted and substandard.
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 210 / 306
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to forward the Study to the Planning Commission for its
recommendation.
2.Move to not forward the Study to the Planning Commission for its
recommendation.
3.Refer the issue to a committee.
4.Postpone the issue to future date.
5.Take no action on the issue.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council move to forward the study to the
Planning Commission if Council wishes to consider the use of Tax Increment
Financing as a redevelopment tool for this property.
Sample Motion
Move to forward the Study to the Planning Commission for their review and
recommendation.

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

property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors, substantially
impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community, retards the provision of housing
accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in
which there is at least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the
designated area is at least one hundred twenty percent of the state or national
average; (ii) the average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at
least forty years; (iii) more than half of the plotted and subdivided property in an area
is unimproved land that has been within the city for forty years and has remained
unimproved during that time; (iv) the per capita income of the area is lower than the
average per capita income of the city or village in which the area is designated; or
(v) the area has had either stable or decreasing population based on the last two
decennial censuses. In no event shall a city of the metropolitan, primary, or first class
designate more than thirty-five percent of the city as blighted, a city of the second
class shall not designate an area larger than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and
a village shall not designate an area larger than one hundred percent of the village
as blighted. A redevelopment project involving a formerly used defense site as
authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall not count towards the percentage
limitations contained in this subdivision;”
“Extremely blighted area means a substandard and blighted area in which: (a) The
average rate of unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most
recent federal decennial census is at least two hundred percent of the average rate
of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (b) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or
federal census block group or block groups in the area;”
“Substandard area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for
ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and
overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire
and other causes, or any combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health,
transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime, (which
cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to the public
health, safety, morals, or welfare; and”
“Workforce housing means:
(a) Housing that meets the needs of today's working families;
(b) Housing that is attractive to new residents considering relocation to a rural community;
(c) Owner-occupied housing units that cost not more than two hundred seventy-five
thousand dollars to construct or rental housing units that cost not more than two
hundred thousand dollars per unit to construct. For purposes of this subdivision (c),
housing unit costs shall be updated annually by the Department of Economic
Development based upon the most recent increase or decrease in the Producer Price
Index for all commodities, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics;
(d) Owner-occupied and rental housing units for which the cost to substantially rehabilitate
exceeds fifty percent of a unit's assessed value; and
(e) Upper-story housing.”
This Blight and Substandard Study is Blighted and Substandard Area 28. The Study is intended to
give the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority, Hall County Regional Planning
Commission and Grand Island City Council the basis for identifying and declaring Blighted and
Substandard conditions are existing within the City’s jurisdiction and as allowed under Chapter
18. Through this process, the City and property owners will attempt to address economic and/or
social liabilities which are harmful to the well-being of the entire community.

Figure 1 shows the study area of this report. A Redevelopment Plan to be submitted in the future
containing, by law, definite local objectives regarding appropriate land uses, improved traffic,
public transportation, public utilities, and other public improvements, and the proposed land
uses and building requirements in the redevelopment area and shall include:
• The boundaries defining the blighted and substandard areas in question (including
existing uses and conditions of the property within the area), and
• A list of the conditions present, which qualify the area as blighted and substandard.
Through the redevelopment process, the City of Grand Island can guide future development
and redevelopment throughout the area. The use of the Community Redevelopment Act by the
City of Grand Island is intended to redevelop and improve the area. Using the Community
Redevelopment Act, the City of Grand Island can assist in the elimination of negative conditions
and implement different programs/projects identified for the City.

The term “Land Use” refers to the developed uses in place within a building or on a specific
parcel of land. The number and type of uses are constantly changing within a community and
produce some impacts either benefitting or detracting from the community. Existing patterns of
land use are often fixed in older communities and neighborhoods, while development in newer
areas is often reflective of current development practices.
The study area is within a highly commercial part of Grand Island. There are commercial uses to
all sides of the study, including the redeveloping area of Blight and Substandard Area 9 from
2012.
Existing Land Use Analysis within Study Area
As part of the planning process, a survey conducted through both in-field observations, as well
as data collection online using the Hall County Assessors website. This survey noted the use of
each parcel of land within the study area. These data from the survey are found in the following
paragraphs.

acres determined per land use from the survey; next is the percentage of those areas
compared to the total developed land; and finally, the third set of data compare all land uses
to the total area within the Study Area. The Study Area is made up of Commercial (80.9%), Open
Space (7.4%), and Transportation oriented land (street and R.O.W; 11.7%). The entire area is
considered completely developed.

This section of the study examines the conditions found within the study area. The Findings
Section reviews the conditions based upon the statutory definitions.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS UNDER PART A OF THE BLIGHT DEFINITION
There were some conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. Some conditions
are reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the statutory conditions are not
present.
Structural Conditions
Existing structural conditions of buildings in the study area were determined using the Hall County
Assessor’s database. Structures rated out as either Very Good, Good, Fair, Average, or badly
worn. Based upon the data provided to the planning team, the following is the breakdown for
structures in the study area:
• 2 (5.7%) structures rated as very good
• 5 (14.3%) structures rated as good
• 0 (0.0%) structure rated as fair
• 28 (80.0%) structures rated as average
• 0 (0.0%) structures rated as badly worn
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 220 / 306
Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Page 8 Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
The exterior portion of the mall is showing considerable wear, likely due to deferred
maintenance. In the photos on the previous page, there are examples of where masonry and
wood construction has been compromised and is in danger of falling from the building onto the
ground. Based upon a visual ground inspection, it appears like there is considerable water
penetration in the brick-and-mortar system. Said photos also show water penetration inside one
of the structures. An assumption was made, based upon the data, that an average condition or
less would constitute less than desirable conditions due to age and condition of the
structure/building. It is common for older structures to get more maintenance and upkeep to
maintain a good or higher condition. Even an average structure shows some signs of
deteriorating which in turn can become a dilapidated structure in the future if not maintained.
Overall, 80.0% of the structures in this study area are an average condition or worse.
Due to the stated conditions found in the Hall County Assessor’s data, the condition of the
structures is a contributing factor.

Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements
Site Improvements Conditions
The site improvements include the areas determined to be common areas for public ingress and
egress to the study area as well as the area designed to move vehicular traffic through the site.
Also, this includes the actual surface parking areas. The condition of the site improvements varies
greatly. The Study Area contains a major deteriorated condition; the parking areas throughout
the area, as well as the demarcated driving areas. The parking areas throughout the entire
Study Area are in a serious state of deterioration. They are not yet in a dilapidated condition. The
parking surface and driving areas contain major surface cracking, small break-ups and
spawling. These conditions have been likely caused by several circumstances over the years,
including:
· Lack of maintenance
· Sub-soil conditions
· Heavier than expected traffic
· Freeze/thaw cycles
Preventing a number of these items are possible through proper design, enforcement, and
maintenance, with maintenance being a key. Photos below indicate examples of different
deteriorated conditions within the parking and driving areas across the entire site. Due to a large
amount of broken pavement in the Study Area, the parking areas are considered to be
deteriorated or in a state of deteriorating; therefore, they are a direct contributing factor to the
conditions of blight.

Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Page 10 Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Diversity of Ownership
Throughout the study area, there are 13 different property owners. However, in most cases, the
difference is that one company owns the structure on the site; while, another entity, usually,
Conestoga North or Conestoga Realty owns the ground underneath the structure. This creates
potential issues with future redevelopment of structures and property if the different ownership
groups disagree. Also, the fact structures sit on land owned by another party will create a
potential detriment to future redevelopment. Due to this factor, it may be necessary for a public
intervention to guide future redevelopment activities in this specific study area. Based upon the
analysis, sufficient ownership issues present to make Diversity of Ownership a contributing factor
for Blighting.
Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting is present in several ways. These factors are bulleted
below:
• First and foremost are the private streets on the north side of the study area, Conestoga
Drive and Overland Road.
• The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
• The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access drives
in a manner that makes traffic control and congestion problematic.
See Figure 5 for specific locations of the discussed items above. Based upon the analysis,
sufficient ownership issues present to make Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting a
contributing factor for Blighting.
Faulty Lot Layout
Similar to Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting, Faulty Lot Layout is present in similar ways.
These factors are bulleted below:
• The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
• The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access drives
in a manner making traffic control and congestion problematic.
See Figure 6 for specific locations of the discussed items above. Based upon the analysis,
sufficient ownership issues present to make Faulty Lot Layout a contributing factor for Blighting.
Combination of factors which are impairing and/or arresting sound growth
There are several factors present within the study area meeting this criterion are discussed in the
following paragraphs.
Functional Obsolescence
The primary structure within the study area is the Conestoga Mall. The mall was constructed in
the mid-1970’s and was designed using common mall layouts and concepts. However, as the
retail markets have been changing, these types of facilities have been losing popularity. It is a
similar issue seen by the Grand Island Mall which was declared Blighted and Substandard in 2012
and has been the focus of several redevelopment projects since the declaration.
Malls and retail use constructed in today’s economy are more open air, even in colder climate
regions. The newer mall models are doing more to make the shopping experience more than
“just shopping.” These older regional malls have lost favor with consumers across the United
States. Some examples within the region include the Imperial Mall in Hastings, the mall in North
Platte, the mall in Hutchinson, KS. The phenomena have also affected larger cities such as
Omaha; Kansas City, MO; Overland Park, KS; and more.
The survival of this mall into the future will be dependent on ownership willingness to re-focus the
mall itself.

Retail Markets of the 21st Century
Retail in the 21st Century has been evolving rapidly. The evolution led by consumers wanting
more than the 1960 to 1970 malls with their shopping experience has been a big factor;
however, the rise of e-commerce and Amazon has also been a major contributing factor to the
retail revolution.
With the retail revolution of the 21st Century, several mainstream retailers have had trouble
competing. The major tenants of Sears, Yonkers, and JC Penneys have all vacated their spaces
at the Conestoga Mall. Yonkers left in 2015, while the other two left shortly after. Sears filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and closed February 2019. All three tenants left behind
empty boxes, merchandise, and storage equipment in the spaces. A lack of major retailers
located at Conestoga Mall impairs and arrests sound growth of this facility in the future.
The buildup of the mall area
Looking at the Conestoga Mall on aerials, the mall is located on the southernmost location of
the land. North of the primary mall was eventual built-out with smaller strip centers. These strip
centers to the north impair the future expansion of the primary mall. Also, the location of the
primary mall and strip centers creates an issue with expanding parking on the mall property.
These factors do impair and arrest sound growth of the study area.
Defective/Inadequate Street Layouts
Under normal blight evaluation, this criteria would apply to public streets. However, in the case
of this study area, it applies to the internal traffic circulation of the mall property and the
adjoining strip centers to the north. Figure 8 indicates the primary and secondary circulation
loops. The Figure also indicates potential concerns with the layouts on the site. There are enough
circulation concerns on-site to make Defective/Inadequate Street Layouts a contributing factor
to declaring the area as Blighted.

INSANITARY AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS
Woodsonia commissioned an asbestos analysis of the Conestoga Mall portion of the study area.
The study was completed by Heartland Testing and Consulting LLC in August 2022. The following
areas for the mall were reviewed and/or sampled. Inspection of the following occupied spaces
were not completed due to no access: Units 3A, 4, 7A, 9, 23B, 33, 34, 38 & 40. Inspection of sub-

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS UNDER PART B OF THE BLIGHT DEFINITION
There were some conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. Some conditions
will be reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the statutory conditions are not
present.
Age of Structure
Age of structures can be a contributing factor to the blighted and substandard conditions in an
area. Statutes allow for a predominance of structures 40 years of age or older to be a
contributing factor regardless of their condition. The following paragraphs document the
structural age of the structures within the Study Area. Note the age of structure was determined
from the Appraisal data within the Hall County Assessor’s website data.

Another method to analyze this area is using square footage. State statute discusses commercial
units; in the commercial world, it is not about the building as much as it is about square footage.
Therefore, this analysis is also examining the age of the built square footage. Based upon data
from the Hall County Assessor’s office, there is a total of 647,019 built square footage in the area.
Of the 647,019 total square footage, 610,089 built square feet are 40 years or older, which is
94.3% of the total build out. Therefore, more than 50% of the square footage is 40 years of age or
older.

The final means to examine the age of structures is the actual number of structures within the 40
years or more or less than 40 years categories. Overall, there are 35 structures within the study
area, based upon the Hall County Assessor’s data (Hall County Assessor divides the primary mall
structure into 11 separate units, thus 35 total). After researching the structural age on the Hall
County Assessor’s and Treasurer’s websites, the following breakdown was determined:
• 28 (80.0%) unit were determined to be 40 years of age or older
• 7 (20.0%) unit were determined to be less than 40 years of age
However, when examining the age based upon a cumulative approach, as in Table 2, the
average age of the primary structures is equal to 41.8 years; thus, meeting the requirements of
the statutes.
The age of the structures would be a direct contributing factor.
Stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial census
The population of the study area has seen a stable population based upon the last two
decennial census’. Over the course of the past 40 years there have not been any residential
units within this study area.
Therefore, stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial censuses is a
contributing factor to the blighted conditions of the area.
These conditions are contributing to the blighted conditions of the study area.
Criteria under Part A of the Blight Definition
• Substantial number of deteriorating structures
o Within the study are 80.0% of the structures were deemed to be in either average or
badly worn condition.
o Several locations around the primary mall are indicating moisture damage to the
brick façade. There is clear moisture damage inside of the mall as well.
• Deterioration of site or other improvements
o The majority of the asphalt parking areas around the primary mall is in a deteriorating
state and appears to have forgone updating for a considerable time.
o There are several places where the parking surfaces are in a worse than deteriorated
state based upon the photographs in the report.
• Diversity of Ownership
o There are 13 different property owners within the study area.
o The majority of the buildings owned by corporations, sit on top of ground owned by
another party, typically, Conestoga Realty or Conestoga North.
• Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
o First and foremost are the private streets on the north side of the study area,
Conestoga Drive and Overland Road.
o The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
o The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access
drives in a manner that makes traffic control and congestion problematic.
• Faulty Lot Layout
o The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
o The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access
drives in a manner making traffic control and congestion problematic.

Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Page 22 Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
• Combination of factors which are impairing and/or arresting sound growth
o Functional Obsolescence is a contributing factor to sound growth
o Retail markets of the 21st Century are impairing growth of the area
o The buildup of the outlots of the mall area
• Defective/Inadequate street layouts
o The layout of the primary and secondary thoroughfares on site are in conflict with key
functional areas such as deliveries and loading docks
o The two primary streets entering the mall property from the north are private streets
o There are several points along the outer travel route that comes into conflict with
secondary travel paths.
• Insanitary and Unsafe Conditions
o The Conestoga Mall portion of the study area was tested for the presence of
asbestos and the report filed in August 2022 indicated mitigatable levels of asbestos
present throughout the facility
• Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
o The Conestoga Mall portion of the study area was tested for the presence of
asbestos and the report filed in August 2022 indicated mitigatable levels of asbestos
present throughout the facility
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
• The average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years
o 28 (80.0%) buildings or improvements were determined to be 40 years of age or older
o 7 (20.0%) buildings or improvements were determined to be less than 40 years of
age
o The average age based upon a cumulative age calculation is 41.8 years.
o 94.3% of the built square footage in the study area is 40 years of age or older.
• Stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial census
o The study area has had a stable or decreasing population over the last two
decennial census.
The other criteria for Blight were not present in the area, these included:
• Tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding fair value of the land.
• Defective or unusual condition of title,
• Unemployment in the designated area is at least 120% of the state or national average.
• The per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of the
city or village in which the area is designated.
These issues were either not present or were limited enough as to have little impact on the
overall condition of the study area.

Substandard Summary
Nebraska State Statute requires that “…an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air,
sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such
factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency,
and crime, (which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare;”

Any building material that contains greater than 1% asbestos is considered regulated and should be removed by a State of Nebraska certified asbestos abatement contractor prior to renovation or demolition activities.
Any presumed or building material known to contain <1% asbestos must be removed prior to renovation work to meet OSHA occupational exposure requirements. Sample C-2: Wall Board System Joint Compound
The definition of asbestos-containing material (ACM) presented at 29 CFR 1910.1001(b), 29 CFR 1915(b), and 29 CFR 1926.1101(b); OSHA regards each of the items used to construct wall shells from wallboard panels as separate materials. Each of these materials that may contain asbestos must be analyzed separately for their asbestos content. OSHA does not regard wallboard/gypsum wallboard and joint compound as a surfacing material. If a wall shell is constructed of ACM joint compound and wallboard panels that are not ACM, then removal of the wall shell is considered OSHA Class II asbestos work.
For a full listing of materials tested please see table 1. Laboratory analytical results are presented in Appendix D. Asbestos sample photographs are presented in Appendix E. Facility diagram is presented in

Scope of Services
A visual inspection and sampling survey was conducted in general accordance with EPA/NESHAP
guidelines to determine the presence of suspect asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) in demolition and renovation projects. Survey Methodology
This asbestos survey was performed by a State of Nebraska licensed asbestos inspector. An initial building walk through was conducted to determine the presence of suspect materials, homogeneous materials, and functional spaces throughout the facility. Following the walk through, the inspector collects samples of selected materials identified as suspect ACBM. Sampling is limited to those materials which do not involve destruction of building elements, physical barriers, or the structural integrity of the item being tested. Confined spaces and areas with structural deficiencies are also not inspected unless noted. EPA guidelines were used to determine the sampling protocol. Sampling locations were chosen to be representative of the
homogeneous sampling area. While an effort was made to collect samples randomly, samples were taken preferentially from areas which were the least visible to minimize disturbance of the material. Laboratory Methodology
Bulk samples obtained from the facility were analyzed at an accredited laboratory listed on the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) or point
count methodology (PC) as needed. Laboratory certifications and statements of qualifications can be provided as needed. Warranty
HTC and its inspectors are trained and licensed to perform the services provided. All care is taken to provide a product of the highest quality in line with professional standards. All care is taken to examine the entirety of the facility or area requested in so far as it is safe to do so. The value of the warranty or any claims cannot exceed the value paid for this report or survey. Survey and Analysis Results
For a detailed report on laboratory findings please refer to Appendix D. Quantities of materials sampled
are estimated from field measurements. Owner, contractor, or other operators should field verify all quantities to ensure accuracy.

Results apply to the sample as received and relate only to the items tested. This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed client and shall not be reproduced except in full,
without written approval by Eurofins J3 Resources, Inc. (EJ3). Samples are analyzed according to the methods listed above and are subject to the inherent limitations of PLM
and interference of matrix components. Reporting limit for the above method is a function of the quantity of sample analyzed, matrix interference, sample preparation, fiber size,
and distribution. Asbestos may be detected in concentrations of <1% by area if sufficient material is analyzed. All reported results have been determined by calibrated visual
estimation (CVE) unless otherwise noted. According to the USEPA 1991 Clarification and the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rule, a material containing asbestos of <10%
by CVE (including <1% asbestos) can only be demonstrated as a non-asbestos containing building material (non-ACBM) if confirmed by point counting. EJ3 recommends TEM
confirmation of soils, vermiculite and non-friable organically bound materials (NOB) reported as None Detected or < 1% Asbestos by PLM. All samples received in good condi-
tion unless otherwise noted. This report shall not be used to claim product approval, certification, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the federal government.

without written approval by Eurofins J3 Resources, Inc. (EJ3). Samples are analyzed according to the methods listed above and are subject to the inherent limitations of PLM
and interference of matrix components. Reporting limit for the above method is a function of the quantity of sample analyzed, matrix interference, sample preparation, fiber size,
and distribution. Asbestos may be detected in concentrations of <1% by area if sufficient material is analyzed. All reported results have been determined by calibrated visual
estimation (CVE) unless otherwise noted. According to the USEPA 1991 Clarification and the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rule, a material containing asbestos of <10%
by CVE (including <1% asbestos) can only be demonstrated as a non-asbestos containing building material (non-ACBM) if confirmed by point counting. EJ3 recommends TEM
confirmation of soils, vermiculite and non-friable organically bound materials (NOB) reported as None Detected or < 1% Asbestos by PLM. All samples received in good condi-
tion unless otherwise noted. This report shall not be used to claim product approval, certification, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the federal government.

Inhomogeneous samples are separated into homogeneous subsamples and analyzed individually. ND means no fibers were detected. When
detected, the minimum detection and reporting limit is less than 1% unless point counting is performed. Floor tile samples may contain large
amounts of interference material and it is recommended that the sample be analyzed by gravimetric point count analysis to lower the detection
limit and to aid in asbestos identification.

Results apply to the sample as received and relate only to the items tested. This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed client and shall not be reproduced except in full,
without written approval by Eurofins J3 Resources, Inc. (EJ3). Samples are analyzed according to the methods listed above and are subject to the inherent limitations of PLM
and interference of matrix components. Reporting limit for the above method is a function of the quantity of sample analyzed, matrix interference, sample preparation, fiber size,
and distribution. Asbestos may be detected in concentrations of <1% by area if sufficient material is analyzed. All reported results have been determined by calibrated visual
estimation (CVE) unless otherwise noted. According to the USEPA 1991 Clarification and the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rule, a material containing asbestos of <10%
by CVE (including <1% asbestos) can only be demonstrated as a non-asbestos containing building material (non-ACBM) if confirmed by point counting. EJ3 recommends TEM
confirmation of soils, vermiculite and non-friable organically bound materials (NOB) reported as None Detected or < 1% Asbestos by PLM. All samples received in good condi-
tion unless otherwise noted. This report shall not be used to claim product approval, certification, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the federal government.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity, Director Grand Island CRA
Meeting:September 13, 2022
Subject:Proposed Extremely Blighted Areas September 2022
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, Director Grand Island CRA
Background
Enclosed you will find a copy of a Substandard and Blight Study as prepared for
Woodsonia Acquisitions LLC by Kurt Elder, AICP working with Marvin Planning
Consultants. This study identifies those areas of Grand Island that could qualify as
Extremely Blighted as defined by N.R.S.S 18-2103 (13).
Extremely blighted area means a substandard and
blighted area in which: (a) The average rate of
unemployment in the area during the period covered by the
most recent federal decennial census or American
Community Survey 5-Year Estimate is at least two hundred
percent of the average rate of unemployment in the state
during the same period; and (b) the average poverty rate in
the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census
tract or tracts or federal census block group or block groups
in the area;
Mr. Elder is a planner with the City of Lincoln Community Development Division and
worked closely with the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Center for Public Affairs and
Senator Justin Wayne’s office to develop this methodology for designating areas as
Extremely Blighted. The City of Lincoln has used this methodology to designate portions
of Lincoln as Extremely Blighted.
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 291 / 306
Discussion
Designating an area as Extremely Blighted provides two potential benefits to
redevelopment in the area and any residents in the area along with a benefit to the City.
1.The term of TIF bonds in Extremely Blighted areas is may be extended from 15
years to 20 years. This will provide additional capital to the project making it
more likely to succeed and to be built out in a shorter time frame.
2.Provide an income tax credit of up to $5000 to first time home buyers that
purchase qualifying homes in areas that have been declared Extremely Blight as
their primary residence prior to January 1, 2026. N.R.S.S. 77-2715.07
3.Remove those areas that are declared Extremely Blighted from the 35% cap on
area that can be declared Blighted and Substandard N.R.S.S. 18-2103 (3)
The action item tonight relates to the study for proposed Extremely Blighted Areas within
the City of Grand Island as detailed and defined in the attached study.
At this point, Council is only making a decision about whether to forward the study to the
Planning Commission for its recommendation or not. According to NRSS §18-2109, it is
clear that the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing and have the opportunity
to review the Extreme Blight Study prior to Council declaring the property Extremely
Blighted. If Council wishes to consider such a declaration State Statute requires that the
question of whether an area is Extremely Blighted is submitted to the Planning
Commission for hearing, review and recommendation.
Blighted Area of the Community
The City of Grand Island, as a City of the First Class, is permitted to designate an area of
up to 35% of the municipal limits as blighted and substandard. As of September 6, 2022,
24.78% of the City has been declared blighted and substandard. Area 28 would add 78.45
acres to the total of blighted and substandard property and would, if approved, add 0.40%
to the total area declared blighted and substandard bringing the total to 25.19%.
Any area that is declared extremely blighted is not counted against the 35% maximum
area that can be declared blighted and substandard. If all of the areas identified in this
study as qualifying as Extremely Blight are declared as such the possible 25.19% would
be reduced to about 19%
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 292 / 306
1.Move to forward the Study to the Planning Commission for its
recommendation.
2.Move to not forward the Study to the Planning Commission for its
recommendation.
3.Refer the issue to a committee.
4.Postpone the issue to future date.
5.Take no action on the issue.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council move to forward the study to the
Planning Commission if Council wishes to consider declaring these properties
Extremely Blighted.
Sample Motion
Move to forward the Study to the Planning Commission for their review and
recommendation.

Substandard meet the Legislative requirements to be declared
extremely blighted for purposes of receiving potential funding,
extended TIF periods and tax credits.

BLIGHT and EXTREMELY BLIGHTED AREA STUDY
REF: Statute 18-2101 to 18-2154 and section of the act, aka Community Development Law
REASONS FOR COMPLETING AN EXTREMELY BLIGHTED STUDY
Section 2: (1) For any city that (a) intends to carry out a redevelopment project which will
involve the construction of workforce housing in an extremely blighted area as authorized under
subdivision (28)(g) of section 18-2103, (b) intends to declare an area as an extremely blighted
area for purposes of funding decisions under subdivision (1)(b) of section 58-708, or (c) intends to
declare an area as an extremely blighted area in order for individuals purchasing residences in
such area to qualify for the income tax credit authorized in subsection (7) of section 77-2715.07,
the governing body of such city shall first declare, by resolution adopted after the public
hearings required under this section, such area to be an extremely blighted area.
LEGISLATIVE DIRECTION
Section 2: (2) Prior to making such declaration, the governing body of the city shall conduct or
cause to be conducted a study or an analysis on whether the area is extremely blighted and
shall submit the question of whether such area is extremely blighted to the planning commission
or board of the city for its review and recommendation. (…) The planning commission or board
shall submit its written recommendations to the governing body of the city within thirty days after
the public hearing.
PROCESS
Brief: For an area to be designated as extremely blighted and substandard two finding, through
three facets, need to be meet. These facets are defined in Nebraska statute. (i.e. 18-2103 –
Terms, …) However, for brevity they are simplified into two broad components (a) areas that
have been found blighted and substandard through city council action, and (b) have been
found to be contain extremely blighted components.
This study primarily determines which areas meet the statutory definition of extremely blighted
An approved blighted and substandard area is also extremely blighted if (i) the average rate of
unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most recent federal decennial
census or American Community Survey 5-Year Estimate is at least two hundred percent of the
average rate of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (ii) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or federal
census block group or block groups in the area
Because Grand Island’s approved blight areas do not conform to defined census geographies.
This study honors the intention of the statute and completes an independent analysis of poverty
and unemployment components. Census areas that are qualified in each study form the basis
for determining extreme blight. To be clear if ‘Geography A’ was qualified in both studies then
any declared blight in ‘Geography A’ could be nominated as extremely blighted.
Lastly, if a census geography or portion of is in the City of Grand Island corporate limits it was
considered in the development of the separate components.
DATA TABLES
Council Approved Blight -
The Community development law requires that an Extremely Blighted and Substandard
area be an approved blighted area. The City of Grand Island keeps a list of approved
blight areas in their offices and online at https://www.grand-
island.com/departments/regional-planning/community-redevelopment-authority-cra/blight-
Grand Island Council Session - 9/13/2022 Page 295 / 306
study-areas. Also, attached is ‘Proposed Blight Area’ and ‘Proposed Extreme Blight Area’ which
details a blighted area. Both blight and extreme blight can share common public hearings.
Extremely Blighted Components -
Part (i) is a state comparison. The 2020 Nebraska Unemployment rate according to the US
Census American Community Survey (five-year average) was 3.37%. Therefore, the average rate
of our selected area would require an unemployment rate of at least 6.74%
Marvin Planning Consultants, Inc. and Kurt Elder (The Team) developed an area with an average
unemployment greater than of 7.52%. An area average is determined by using the sum of
estimated factors and NOT the average of each piece. Attached is ’Unemployment Area’,
which details our proposed unemployment area.
Part (ii) is a local area finding. Grand Island’s 2020 poverty rate was 11.83% but in line with state
statute, we developed an area with greater than 20% poverty. An area average is determined
by using the sum of estimated factors and NOT the average of each piece. Attached is ‘Poverty
Review’, which details our proposed poverty area.
All data was 2020 US Census American Community 5-year Survey data. We choose to utilize only
block-group level information from the census to minimize independent margins of error.
Furthermore, our data methodology and averaging process/interpetation received support from
UNO’s David Drozd Research Coordinator at the UNO Center for Public Affairs and notified Sen.
Justin Wayne (i.e., Nebraska Legislature, Chair of the Urban Affairs Committee) office to confirm
his support. His legislative assistant relayed support.
ANALYSIS
The Team overlaid these three facets/area reviews (i.e., approved blight, 20%+ poverty,
200%+ of the Nebraska’s unemployment rate, and delineated areas where the three
intersected. This proposed extremely blighted area is attached as ‘Proposed Extreme Blight
Area’.
