III. PUBLIC HEARINGS
REZONING – 210 WEST 28TH STREET
Mayor Blankenship opened the public hearing on the Application
submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for John L. Hisey (Owner) to rezone
from “District R-2, Urban Residential Mixed-Density District” to “District UC,
Mixed Use Urban Corridor District” property described as Lot 3, Block 42,
Perkins & Harfords Addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo County,
Nebraska (210 West 28th Street). Planning Commission recommended approval.
The applicant is requesting rezoning of Lot 3, Block 42 of Perkins & Harfords Addition from
District R-2, to District UC, Urban Corridor. The Land Use Map of the City of Kearney Comprehensive Development
Plan shows the
proposed land use in this area as “Mixed Use 1,” a mixed use category that
allows limited commercial uses.
There is an existing house on this tract that will be
removed and this lot will be combined with the two vacant lots to the east for
a commercial development. The easterly lots were rezoned to UC when the zoning
map was adopted. If this rezoning is approved, all three lots will be zoned UC,
Urban Corridor. The developer plans to build a commercial office building on
this site similar to the one that is currently under construction on the lots
directly south and across the alley from this site.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying was present to answer
any questions.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Kearney seconded by Hadley to close the hearing and
approve the Application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for John L.
Hisey (Owner) to rezone from “District R-2, Urban Residential Mixed-Density
District” to “District UC, Mixed Use Urban Corridor District” property
described as Lot 3, Block 42, Perkins & Harfords Addition to the City of
Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska (210 West 28th Street). Roll call resulted
as follows: Aye: Blankenship, Hadley, Kearney, Buschkoetter. Nay: None. Clouse absent. Motion carried.
LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT – 2149 25
ROAD
This public hearing and the next public hearing were
discussed together but voted on separately.
Mayor Blankenship opened the public hearing on the proposed
amendment to the Land Use Map of the City of Kearney Comprehensive Development
Plan from “Agricultural” to “Rural Residential” property described as a tract
of land being part of the Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section
23, Township 8 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., containing 7.06 acres,
more or less, Kearney County, Nebraska (2149 25 Road) and to consider
Resolution No. 2003-206. Planning Commission recommended approval.
The applicant is requesting approval of a one-lot
residential subdivision located south of the Platte River in Kearney County within the City of Kearney Two-Mile Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction. The
property is located at 2149 25 Road on the west side of State Highway 44. The
property contains a farmhouse and several outbuildings. This land is currently
zoned Agricultural and consists of 7.06 acres.
Land Use Map Amendment and Rezoning
The applicant is requesting rezoning from District A,
Agriculture to District RR-1, Rural Residential District. Before the rezoning
can be considered, the Land Use Map of the City of Kearney Comprehensive Development
Plan must be amended
from “Agricultural” to “Rural Residential.” The residence will continue to be
served by individual well and septic systems.
Subdivision Plat
The Final Plat consists of a one-lot subdivision containing
7.06 acres. The Preliminary Plat was approved by Planning Commission on November 21, 2003. This a straight-forward proposal
to subdivide the existing farmhouse and associated improvements contained on
the 7.06 acres within a separate lot from the rest of the surrounding farm
land. A Public Works Plan is not required. A Subdivision Agreement is not
required either.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying was present to answer
any questions.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.

hearing and approve the proposed amendment to the Land Use Map of the City of

to “District RR-1, Rural Residential District (Rural Standards)” property
described as a tract of land being part of the Southeast Quarter of the

12, 16, 108, 111 WEST 32ND STREET; 3210 AND 3211 KEISS LANE; 3119, 3201 AND
3207 2ND AVENUE
Mayor Blankenship opened the public hearing on the Application
submitted by John Gardner (Applicant) for Good Samaritan Hospital (Owner) to
rezone from “District R-1, Urban Residential Single-Family District (Low
Density)” to “District C-0, Office District” property described as part of Lot
4, all of Lots 5, 6 and 14, Ragain’s Subdivision; Lot 3 except the north 30
feet thereof, all of Lots 4 and 5, Lot 7 except the east 20 feet 10 inches
thereof, Lot 8 except the south 36 feet thereof, the south half of Lot 9, all
of Lots 13 and 14, Lots 16, 17 and 18 except the south 60 feet thereof, all in
Bergt and Keiss Subdivision; part of Lot 2, Northwest Quarter School Section
Addition, all in the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska (5, 6, 14
Carlton Drive; 12, 16, 108, 111 West 32nd Street; 3210 and 3211 Keiss Lane;
3119, 3201 and 3207 2nd Avenue). Planning Commission recommended approval.
Council Member Hadley vacated his chair and abstained from
discussion and voting on this matter for the reason is serves on the Board of
Directors.
The applicant is requesting rezoning of twelve or so lots of
land to be developed into satellite parking for the hospital. The rezoning
request is from District R-1 to District C-0. The land must be within 300 feet
of hospital property to qualify as off-premise, off-street parking. The Land
Use Map of the City of Kearney
Comprehensive Development Plan shows the proposed land use in this area as “Mixed Use 1,”
a mixed use category that allows limited commercial uses mixed with housing.
The rezoning request matches the character of the area. The
Unified Land Development Ordinance of the City of Kearney provides that Site Plan approval by
City Planning Staff is required as each lot is developed into parking. If the
City Staff and applicant are unable to agree on a development plan, Planning
Commission and City Council will approve the final design.
John Gardner from Good Samaritan Hospital presented this
matter to the Council. He stated that these are properties west of the
Hospital’s current expansion. Their plans are to convert them into parking for
the convenience of their expansion.
Mayor Blankenship asked about the number of parking stalls
as this covers quite a few lots. Mr. Gardner responded that the number has yet
to be determined, but they require a great deal of parking. Council Member
Kearney commented this is going to be a “super” medical addition to Kearney.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Blankenship seconded by Kearney to close the
hearing and approve the Application submitted by John Gardner (Applicant) for
Good Samaritan Hospital (Owner) to rezone from “District R-1, Urban Residential
Single-Family District (Low Density)” to “District C-0, Office District”
property described as part of Lot 4, all of Lots 5, 6 and 14, Ragain’s
Subdivision; Lot 3 except the north 30 feet thereof, all of Lots 4 and 5, Lot 7
except the east 20 feet 10 inches thereof, Lot 8 except the south 36 feet
thereof, the south half of Lot 9, all of Lots 13 and 14, Lots 16, 17 and 18
except the south 60 feet thereof, all in Bergt and Keiss Subdivision; part of
Lot 2, Northwest Quarter School Section Addition, all in the City of Kearney, Buffalo
County, Nebraska (5, 6, 14 Carlton Drive; 12, 16, 108, 111 West 32nd Street;
3210 and 3211 Keiss Lane; 3119, 3201 and 3207 2nd Avenue). Roll call resulted

carried.
AMEND CHAPTER 50 “SIGN
REGULATIONS” OF THE UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE OF THE CODE OF THE CITY
OF KEARNEY
Mayor Blankenship opened the public hearing on the proposed
amendment to Chapter 50 “Sign Regulations” of the Unified Land Development
Ordinance of the Code of the City of Kearney to correct conflicting code sections for setbacks, type and size of
signs allowed, and to make other revisions to improve the efficiency and
application of the ordinance. Planning Commission recommended approval.
City Planner Lance Lang presented this matter to the
Council. Recently a developer made an appeal to the Board of Adjustment for a
variance to allow two monument signs on property zoned UC, Urban Corridor. The
Unified Land Development Ordinance (UDO), as it is currently written, would
only allow one sign, but the allowable size and setback seem inappropriate. The
Board of Adjustment asked the City Planning Staff to review Chapter 50 of the
UDO that contains regulations for Signs with an eye towards any needed
amendments.
This follows in the footsteps of the sign committee that was
formed at the request of Russell Hilliard approximately one year ago, primarily
to discuss possibilities for outdoor advertising signs. Through the course of that
discussion the task force identified two amendments to the sign section of the
UDO. These amendments were approved by the Planning Commission and the City
Council in June 2003 as part of an overall revision to many chapters of the
UDO.
The proposed amendments address several concerns but are
primarily being requested to enhance and improve the regulations.
“Housekeeping” issues such as conflicting references, misspelled words,
clarification of terms, etc. are a component of these revisions. Some setbacks
are proposed to be decreased. Spacing between signs in some districts will
increase if this proposal is approved. Improved definitions of private streets
are included, but exclude alleys from sign calculations.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Kearney seconded by Hadley to close the hearing and
approve the proposed amendment to Chapter 50 “Sign Regulations” of the Unified
Land Development Ordinance of the Code of the City of Kearney to correct
conflicting code sections for setbacks, type and size of signs allowed, and to
make other revisions to improve the efficiency and application of the
ordinance. Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Blankenship, Hadley, Kearney, Buschkoetter. Nay: None. Clouse
absent. Motion carried.
IV. CONSENT AGENDA
Moved by Hadley seconded by Buschkoetter that Subsections 1
through 6 of Consent Agenda Item IV be approved. Roll call resulted as
follows: Aye: Blankenship, Clouse, Kearney, Buschkoetter, Hadley. Nay: None.

Antelope Avenue. The easements were created at the request of the city Public
Works Department to limit the number of access points on Antelope Avenue while

As owners have purchased these lots they have decided that
they do not need two access points, one will suffice. Therefore, they are
requesting that the shared access easements be vacated from the plats of Platte
River Commercial Park 5th and 6th Additions.
Monty Anderson, one of the owners, was present to answer any
questions from the Council.

ORDINANCE NO. 7011 – VACATE
PORTION OF DEER CROSSING SUBDIVISION
This item and the next item were discussed together but
voted on separately.
The Applicant is requesting a vacation of an existing
subdivision known as Deer Crossing Subdivision so that the lot lines can be
adjusted to form a new subdivision. This property is located approximately ¼
mile north on Summit Road from 39th Street, if extended, in the northwest area
of town that is typically rural estate residential. The property is zoned
RR-1.
Vacation – Lots 1 through 6 of Deer Crossing Subdivision are to be vacated.
Subdivision Plat – The Final Plat for Deer Crossing 2nd Subdivision consists of
four lots on 12.57 acres. The Preliminary Plat was approved by Planning
Commission on November 21, 2003. The new plat represents a reduction in density
from Deer Crossing which had six lots. The four proposed lots take the best
advantage of the natural terrain for rural homesites. No Public Works Plan or
Subdivision Agreement is required.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying presented this matter
to the Council. He stated that everything should be in place for this project.
The purpose is to make the lots bigger to accommodate a better blend of lot
configurations, which will conform to the City’s current regulations. This area
is out in the country, just on the fringe area of the City’s extra territorial
jurisdiction area. The only changes will be in the number of lots and the
location of the lot lines in order to make this site more inviting for
building.
Council Member Blankenship introduced Ordinance No. 7011,
being Subsection 7 of Agenda Item VI to vacate Lots 1 through 6 inclusive, Deer
Crossing Subdivision, Buffalo County, Nebraska (1/4 mile north on Summit Road
and to the south and west of Summit Road), and moved that the statutory rules
requiring ordinances to be read by title on three different days be suspended
and said ordinances be considered for passage on the same day upon reading by
number only, and then placed on final passage and that the City Clerk be
permitted to call out the number of the ordinance on its first reading and then
upon its final passage. Council Member Kearney seconded the motion to suspend

AWARD BID – FOUR WHEEL LANDFILL
COMPACTOR
Mayor Blankenship opened for discussion the bids received
for the purchase of a Four Wheel Landfill Compactor for the
Utilities/Sanitation Division and to consider Resolution No. 2003-211 awarding
the bid for the Lawn Irrigation System to Johnson Lawn and Landscaping in the
amount of $6,450.00; awarding the bid for the Landscaping to Johnson Lawn and
Landscaping in the amount of $33,100.00; and awarding the bid for the In-Floor
Conveyor and Automated Horizontal Baler to Recovery Systems Inc. in the amount
of $238,422.00.
In this year’s budget the Sanitation Division included
$50,000.00 for lawn irrigation system and for the landscaping for the Kearney
Area Recycling Center that is nearing completion at 3007 East 39th Street. Also
included in the budget was $300,000.00 for an in-floor conveyor and horizontal
baler to be used to bale processed recyclables received at the recycling
center. At the October 28, 2003 Council meeting the Council approved the plans
and specifications for the work including the baler. Miller and Associates the
City’s engineer along with their electrical consultant prepared the plans for
the lawn irrigation system, the landscaping and the conveyor/baler.
On November 18, 2003 the City received sealed bids for the
work. The City’s engineer has attached a letter summarizing and discussing the
bids received and recommending award of the bids.
Regarding Bid A for the lawn irrigation system portion of
the work, the low bid was submitted by Johnson Lawn and Landscaping in the
amount of $6,450.00.
Regarding Bid B for the landscaping portion of the work, the
low bid was also submitted by Johnson Lawn and Landscaping in the amount of
$33,100.00.
Regarding Bid C for the in-floor conveyor and horizontal
baler, Recovery Systems Inc. of Hopkins, Minnesota submitted the low bid in the
amount of $238,422.00. Recovery System’s bid is $35,925.00 lower than the next
highest bid submitted by Elliott Equipment of Lincoln, Nebraska in the amount
of $274,347.00.
After the bids were received the City’s engineer and City
staff evaluated them. The irrigation and landscaping bids were determined to
meet the specifications. The in floor-conveyor and horizontal baler bid were
scrutinized extensively. The low bid submitted by Recovery Systems was
determined to meet the specifications. However, the company contacted the
engineer saying that they forgot to include the cost for the electrical wiring
for the conveyor/baler in the amount of $5,950.00. The electrical wiring could
either be added by change order or the City could hire the electrician
directly. Also, that they would prefer different payment terms than those
specified in the contract, but have agreed to accept the terms included in the
contract. Since both of the low bids received were qualified bids, City staff
investigated the equipment furnished by the lowest bidder and toured the
Regional Recycling Center in North Platte, Nebraska to observe a Recovery
Systems baler in operation. The baler was performing very well and the staff
at the facility expressed satisfaction regarding the dependability of the baler
and the service provided by the manufacturer.
Administration is not aware of any legal problems associated
with awarding Bid A for the lawn irrigation system, Bid B for the landscaping
to Johnson Lawn and Landscaping and Bid C for the conveyor/baler to Recovery
Systems Inc. The contract specifications clearly state that the City can waive
any technicalities or irregularities in the bids received and may award the bid
in any manner that the City finds to be most favorable. The City Attorney is
also aware of the bids received and of Administration’s recommendation to award
the bids.
The Sanitation Division included $50,000.00 in this year’s
budget for the lawn irrigation and landscaping work. The bids for the
irrigation and landscaping systems total $39,150.00 well below the amount
budgeted. Also, included in this year’s budget is $300,000.00, for the in floor
conveyor and automated horizontal baler. Recovery Systems Incorporated
submitted the low bid for the conveyor/baler in the amount of $238,422.00. Even
with an additional $5,950 for the electrical connection that amount is still
well below the second lowest bid and the amount budgeted.
Sealed bids were received for the Lawn Irrigation System,
the Landscaping and for the In-Floor Conveyor and Automated Horizontal Baler.
The City’s engineer advised staff regarding the bids received and has
recommended that the bids be awarded.
Therefore, Administration recommends that the Council award
Bid A for the Lawn Irrigation System at the Kearney Area Recycling Center to
Johnson Lawn and Landscaping in the amount of $6,450.00; award Bid B for the
Landscaping for the Kearney Area Recycling Center to Johnson Lawn and
Landscaping in the amount of $33,100.00; and award Bid C for the In-Floor
Conveyor and Automated Horizontal Baler for the Kearney Area Recycling Center
to Recovery Systems Inc. in the amount of $238,422.00 with the payment terms as
set forth in the Contract Documents.
Scott Sanders from Miller & Associates presented this
matter to the Council. He stated that recycling saves a great deal of money for
the landfill and the Utilities Department has made a profit from the
recyclables. Kearney, as well as others in Nebraska, is very conscious about
recycling.

ADJUST RATES AT MEADOWLARK HILLS
GOLF COURSE FOR 2004
Mayor Blankenship opened for discussion the recommendation
from the Golf Advisory Board on adjusting the fee structure for the 2004
Calendar Year at the Meadowlark Hills Golf Course and to consider Resolution
No. 2003-212.
Director of Park & Recreation Neal Lewis presented this
matter to the Council. Annually the fees and charges are evaluated at
Meadowlark Hills Golf Course. This year we are only making a rate change on the
cost of season passes. All passes will be increased by $25.00, except the
Junior 5-day pass.
Administration continues to evaluate the cost/benefit
relationships of the fee structure. The season passes were adjusted with
consideration of the elasticity of our fees. Daily rates were elevated last
year and having not changed the cost of season passes in 3 years we believed an
increase was warranted. Meadowlark Hills Golf Course season passes are a great
value. Administration and the Golf Advisory Board believed that with new
golfing opportunities in the area, the other fees should remain the same.
Mr. Lewis stated each year the fee structure is reviewed and
a decision has to be made if it needs to be changed. He talks with the Golf
Advisory Board and the Park Advisory Board and relies on the Golf Course
staff. They believe with new golf courses coming in and with the way
competition is that they didn’t want to change the majority of the rates. They
believed that it was legitimate to slightly increase their season pass rate.
This will make a difference of about $6,000 in the overall budget. He stated
that anything that can be done on a user base to help pay for the service is
the methodology that they want to use for all of the recreational activities.
He appreciated the patrons of the golf course who really support it. There are
a tremendous number of people who have generated $851,000 in revenue by using
the golf course. The goal is to provide a cost efficient service that people
can afford to use. He believed by looking at the numbers and the usage, that
they are doing that pretty well.
Mayor Blankenship asked if the increase in our fees is in
line with other courses across the state. Mr. Lewis responded that our level of
quality is in the top five in the state. Kearney’s fees are below most of the others. If you go to the upper scale golf
courses that provide a real quality golf experience, Kearney is probably on the bottom as far as
fees. He believed that the public likes the quality of our course and the fees
are set to match our level of service.
Golf Course Superintendent Dave James stated that some
people that purchase season passes have played 120 times a year and there are
others that have only played 30 times. The average is based on if a person is
playing 30 times per season; he would break even on the fee paid.
Moved by Blankenship seconded by Kearney to approve the recommendation from
the Golf Advisory Board on adjusting the fee structure for the 2004 Calendar
Year at the Meadowlark Hills Golf Course and approve Resolution No. 2003-212.
Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Blankenship, Kearney, Buschkoetter, Hadley. Nay: None.

KVFD TRAINING COMPLEX STORAGE AND CLASSROOM
BUILDING – PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
Mayor Blankenship opened for discussion the plans and
specifications for the construction of the KVFD Training Complex Storage and Classroom Building and set the bid opening date for January 13, 2004 at 2:00 p.m.
Facilities for Fire Department training have improved
greatly over the past 10 years and we believe that constructing an additional
building at the Training Complex would enhance storage capabilities as well as
training operations. The building proposed is a 6,000 square feet metal
building composed of an open high bay apparatus storage and training area and
2,400 square feet of upper mezzanine area. Bid alternatives have been included
in the proposal.
Storage at the Training Complex is currently scarce. In
constructing a building of this nature, storage space would be allowed for
equipment and trucks needed during the conduct of training. Additional storage
will be provided for ladders and hoses, which are used for training and are now
stored at Station 1. In addition this will allow essential equipment to remain
on the trucks at all times. Space will also be provided for antique trucks now
being stored at the water tower in the area west of 48th Street and 6th Avenue.
The Fire Department currently performs hands-on training
year around, weather permitting. If weather is inclement, training will be
substituted at the last minute to accommodate firefighters accordingly. By
constructing a large building, training topics such as ladders and hose rolls
could be performed inside and needed equipment would be in place and would not
have to be transported each time. This readiness permits training to function
smoother and eliminates the opportunity to misplace and/or not have
instrumental supplies when needed.
The mezzanine area could be used for confined space training
and will possibly provide a location for a future classroom.
General Contractors bidding the project will propose their
estimated date for final completion, but it is estimated that final completion
will occur around June or July 2004.
This project will be a shared endeavor on a 50/50 basis.
Funds for the project have been accounted for in the 2003-2004 City of Kearney budget as well as the 2003-2004
Suburban Fire Protection District #1 of Buffalo and Kearney Counties budget. The Engineer’s opinion of probable
construction cost ranges between $175,000 and $225,000.
Scott Sanders from Miller & Associates stated that the
building is a “no frills” metal building about 28 feet high. This will
complement the other buildings at the Training Center out by the Airport. At one end
there will be a 2,400 square foot mezzanine that is open to the story below it.
They can practice repelling and other activities from that level. Underneath
the mezzanine there will be storage for some antique fire trucks. The building
will not have any windows or brick in order to keep the cost down. It will be
an open building with utilities, a good insulation system, and radiant heat.
The Fire Department has a bid alternate for building fire
protection, paving, and some other alternates. By bidding the project during
the winter, they hope to get more bids and more conservative bids. The
proposed starting date is March or April 2004 weather permitting. The project
completion date is to be June or July 2004. They will allow the contractor to
set the completion date in order to get some better bids.
Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Thompson stated that as the Fire
Department has grown over the last ten years, they are in need of more space.
This is a volunteer Fire Department and they need to do their training at
night. This type of a facility will be useful for ladder settings, etc. They
are also in need of a place to store their extra trucks and a training truck
that they can use instead of taking equipment off regular trucks that needs to
be returned.
Moved by Kearney
seconded by Hadley to approve the plans and specifications for the construction
of the KVFD Training Complex Storage and Classroom Building and set the bid opening date for January 13, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Blankenship,
Buschkoetter, Hadley, Kearney. Nay: None. Clouse absent. Motion

ORDINANCE NO. 7012 – AMEND SECTION
3-1836 “INTENT” AND SECTION 3-1837 “SUNSET PROVISION”
On August
27th, 1996, the City
Council approved a 2% Hotel Occupation Tax at the request of the Kearney Area
Chamber of Commerce. Pursuant to the ordinance establishing the Hotel
Occupation Tax, the taxes generated are to be used to fund the Kearney Area
Chamber of Commerce for the purposes set forth in Nebraska Revised Statute
section 13-315. Additionally, the ordinance establishing the Hotel Occupation
Tax includes a sunset provision that states that the tax shall terminate on December 31, 2004.
The Kearney Area Chamber of Commerce and the Kearney
Visitors Bureau has requested that the City of Kearney extend the sunset provision included in the current
ordinance to December
31, 2014.
Additionally, a request has been made by the same group that the City retain
$150,000.00 per year of the revenues generated by the tax to be used for City
purposes and that the Kearney Visitors Bureau receive the remaining funds
generated by the tax each year to be used for the purposes set forth in
Nebraska Revised Statute Section 13-315.
Passage of the ordinance will extend the life of the Hotel
Occupation Tax ten years and will provide the Kearney Visitors Bureau
additional operational revenues. Additionally, the City of Kearney will retain $150,000.00 per year
for ten years to be used for City purposes.
Odee Ingersoll, Chairperson of the Visitors Bureau,
presented this matter to the Council. He stated his purpose was to solicit the
Council’s support in extending the lodging occupation tax for the City of Kearney. The current occupation tax is to
sunset in December of 2004. In review of the current occupation tax, it was
implemented in September of 1996 to bring the Arch project to a level where
bonds could be successfully sold to finance the construction of the project.
Additional funding was used to support the Arch, but the tax also provided
funds to promote the community, tourism attractions, facilities, and events.
Approximately 20 percent of the tax that has been collected has been used for
this purpose.
An example is, approximately 20 percent is used for
printing, including Kearney’s full color brochure, 30 percent is used for
advertising in national publications, such as AAA, Kearney’s Stop, Play, &
Stay (promotes Kearney as a destination rather then a pass-through community),
20 percent is used for the motor coach industry (tour contacts to increase the
number of stays in our community), 30 percent to enhance and attract new events
into Kearney. They believe that they operate in a very aggressive market where,
in order to be competitive, we must increase the number of events and give
people reasons to come to Kearney.
The additional funding the occupational tax provides, he
believes, is even more important now than at its inception. Because of the
ever increasing number of communities that have added similar taxes to promote
new or expanded facilities or attractions across the state, Kearney finds itself competing for market
share with every major community from Scottsbluff to Omaha and Norfolk to Nebraska City. Mr. Ingersoll stated that represents Kearney’s hospitality industry and the
Visitors Bureau and requested that the City Council extend the occupation tax
from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2014.
Through this extension of the occupation tax, the Visitors
Bureau would receive additional funds that will be used to better position Kearney in existing and new markets. The
tax would also sustain the industry at its current level and provide for the
best opportunity for successful operation of existing projects, like the Arch
and the Arena. Kearney must effectively meet the
challenges of growing competition in the marketplace. Currently, they are
seeking our market share, which will continue to get more aggressive and more
competitive as new facilities come on line. The extension also reflects a
request on behalf of the City of Kearney to receive approximately $150,000 annually from the gross collections
over a 10-year extension.
The Visitors Bureau Board of Directors has approved this
measure and asks that the Council vote in favor of this extension. They believe
approval of the proposal will place the City of Kearney in a position of strength for the future and will also
supply additional financial support to the City of Kearney over the next decade. He believed
this is a win/win project for everyone living in and around Kearney who will benefit from this.
Mayor Blankenship stated that the influx of new Quest
Convention Center in Omaha, the prospects for Heartland Convention Center in
Grand Island, the number of new motel/hotel facilities up and down the
Interstate 80 traveling east and west will really have an impact in the future
on our market share. He believes that in order to compete at a level that we
have in the past, these funds are going to be important for the Visitors Bureau
to have at their disposal to do things in a quality fashion.
Council Member Kearney stated that with the budget crunch
that this $150,000 per year is going to be relatively important to the City.
He wants to go forward in a spirit of cooperation.
Council Member Buschkoetter stated that in talking with
other Council members in the negotiations that this is a fair and equitable
agreement. This does benefit both side. He stated that he had talked to City
Manager Allen Johnson and others before making this decision. If the lodging
business does well, it benefits everyone in the community by bringing people to
spend the night in Kearney where they buy other goods and
services.
Council Member Hadley stated that the tourism dollars are
important dollars for the community.
Council Member Hadley introduced Ordinance No. 7012, being
Subsection 9 of Agenda Item VI to amend Section 3-1836 “Intent” of Article 18
“Occupation, Business and Other Taxes” of Chapter 3 “Business Regulations” that
all of the revenue generated prior to January 1, 2005 by the occupation tax
imposed on hotels shall be used to fund the Kearney Visitors Bureau; that the
City shall retain $16,666.67 per month from January 1, 2005 through September
30, 2005 and $12,500.00 per month from October 1, 2005 through December 31,
2014 for City purposes; to require the Kearney Visitors Bureau to submit an
annual report to the City Council on the use of the occupation tax funds; and
to amend Section 3-1837 “Sunset Provision” of Article 18 “Occupation, Business
and Other Taxes” of Chapter 3 “Business Regulations” that the termination date
of the occupation tax on hotels will be December 31, 2014, and moved that the
statutory rules requiring ordinances to be read by title on three different
days be suspended and said ordinances be considered for passage on the same day
upon reading by number only, and then placed on final passage and that the City
Clerk be permitted to call out the number of the ordinance on its first reading
and then upon its final passage. Council Member Buschkoetter seconded the
motion to suspend the rules. President of the Council asked for discussion or
if anyone in the audience was interested in the ordinance. No one responded.
Clerk called the roll which resulted as follows: Aye: Blankenship, Hadley, Kearney, Buschkoetter. Nay: None. Clouse
absent. Motion to suspend the rules having been concurred in by three-fourths
of the City Council, said motion was declared passed and adopted. City Clerk
