2024-83 CONSENT AGENDA
A. Approval of Minutes City Clerk
To approve minutes of the September 24, 2024, City Commission Meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the minutes.
B. Regional Transit Authority Articles of Incorporation Manager's Office
Staff is seeking approval of the proposed Articles of Incorporation for the new
regional transit authority and appointment of the Deputy City Manager as the
City's representative Director on the authority board.
In November 2023, the City Commission approved a resolution of intent to join
other municipalities in forming a regional transit authority. The first formal step
for the group is to establish Articles of Incorporation. These articles outline the
Page 1 of 14
members, district served, purposes and power of the authority, details of the
Board of Directors, how the work will be funded, how future amendments are
made and approved, and methods for members to be released from the
authority. The legislative body of each member agency will need to approve
the articles for the authority to proceed forward with developing bylaws and
seeking alternate funding. Each legislative body will also need to appoint its
representative director, and alternate, to the authority board.
After discussion with the board of one of the member communities, some minor
changes were made to the Articles of Incorporation. In Article IV, Section 2,
additional options for appointment to the Board of Directors have been given
for both the Director and Alternate. The articles allow for a Council member of
the Member legislative body to be appointed to each position.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Articles of Incorporation for the
Muskegon Area Transit System, to appoint LeighAnn Mikesell, Deputy City
Manager, as the City's director to the authority's board, and to appoint
Jonathan Seyferth, City Manager, as the City's alternate director to the
authority's board.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to amend the zoning
ordinance to add a definition for cat cafés.
J. Parks E/V Polaris Ranger Purchase - US DOE Rebate Voucher Program
DPW- Parks
Staff requests authorization to accept the Energy Efficiency & Conservation
Block Grant award and purchase vehicles and equipment from Babbitt’s
Powersports in the amount of $106,500.
In 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy announced the City of Muskegon was
eligible to receive an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)
in the amount of $76,450. The grant program is a $550M grant program funded
through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It is designed to assist states, local
governments, and Tribes in implementing strategies to reduce energy use, to
reduce fossil fuel emissions, and to improve energy efficiency.
Under this grant program, the City applied and received approval for an
Equipment Rebate voucher to use the funds towards the purchase of two
Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic EV side-by-side utility vehicles for use by the Parks
Department. These vehicles have a range of 80 miles and are fully electric
vehicles. The parks department plans to use them in a variety of ways to help us
become more efficient and sustainable as a department. These vehicles are
also very effective in the sand and will be used at our beaches during the
summer as part of the park ranger program.
The purchase will be made locally through Babbitt’s Powersports. The Parks
Capital improvement plan budgeted $30k for a park ranger utility vehicle which
is being supplanted by one of the EV Rangers, and the offsetting costs will allow
us to equip these vehicles with a full cab, plow, salt spreaders and several other
upgrades to help with maintenance around the City of Muskegon. The vehicles
will come with some equipment provided by Babbitt’s; staff is including $16,500
Page 3 of 14
in additional equipment costs to be obtained using standard purchasing
policies once the vehicles arrive and needs are determined (caution lights,
decals, additional attachments, etc.).
The expense is budget-neutral, however a budget amendment is necessary to
accept and spend the grant funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to accept the Energy Efficiency &
Conservation Block Grant award and purchase vehicles and equipment from
Babbitt’s Powersports in the amount of $106,500.
K. Contract Award - First Street DPW- Engineering
Staff is requesting authorization to enter into a contact with McCormick Sand,
Inc, in the amount of $325,999.00 for the reconstruction of First Street from
Hamilton to Apple.
Bids were solicited for a construction project to reconstruct and install sanitary
sewer within First Street; from Hamilton to Apple. The project is necessary to
prepare for future sanitary sewer work within Apple, which will take place in
2026. McCormick Sand provided the low bid.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Move to authorize staff to enter into a contract with
McCormick Sand, Inc in the amount of $325,999.00 for the reconstruction of First
Street; Hamilton to Apple.
M. Sale of 209 Merrill, 502 & 561 Mary, 845, 982, & 1003 Ducey, 1007 Albert,

N. Brunswick Sewer Repair Public Works
Page 4 of 14
Staff is requesting authorization to accept the proposal from Terra Contractors
to repair the sewer lateral at Brunswick on Laketon Ave.
City staff were recently called to address a problem with the sewer service at
Brunswick on Laketon Ave. An investigation of the sewer lateral revealed a
blockage and indicated additional damage that would need to be repaired.
The repair would be complicated by the depth and location of the sewer main.
Since the sewer main was located underneath the middle of Laketon Avenue,
a complete closure of the roadway was required to safely excavate to the
main.
In order to minimize the time that Laketon Avenue was completely closed, and
to safely and efficiently excavate to the depths required for this project, staff
recommended bringing in a contractor to complete the repair.
Staff solicited bids from three contractors. Terra Contractors provided the lowest
bid and was selected to complete this repair. This work was authorized by the
City Manager on September 6, 2024 under the Emergency Procurement
provision of the Purchasing Policy. The Director of Public Works informed the City
Commission of this work at the September 10, 2024 meeting. This work has now
been completed and staff seeks retroactive approval.
Staff anticipates this cost will be borne by the owner of the Brunswick facility
based on their ownership of the lateral as detailed in the City ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to authorize staff to sign the proposal with
Terra Contractors to repair the Brunswick sewer lateral for $91,185.00.
O. Concur with CRC Recommendations to Accept Resignations and Make
Appointment City Clerk
To concur with the Community Relations Committee recommendation to
accept the resignation of Derek Edlund from the Lakeside Business
Improvement District and to accept the resignation of Jonathan Witmer from

E. Opioid Settlement Funding & Management Agreement Manager's
Office
Staff requests approval to enter into a Funding and Management Agreement
with the County of Muskegon to allocate the City’s Opioid Settlement Funds to
help fund the county’s existing opioid grant program.
In 2021, a $26 billion nationwide settlement was reached to resolve all opioid
litigation brought by states and local units of governments against various
pharmaceutical distributors. The State of Michigan is estimated to receive
approximately $1.6 billion, by 2040.
Settlement funds are distributed to state and local governments (county, city,
townships). A state-subdivision agreement between the State of Michigan and
local government directs how opioid settlement funds are distributed. Payments
are based on a national allocation formula which considers opioid overdose
fatalities, prevalence of opioid use disorder and distribution of opioids. Fifty
percent of funds go to county, city, and township governments. The estimated
local government share is $725 million. Fifty percent of funds go to the state’s
designated fund, The Michigan Opioid Healing and Recovery Fund. The
estimated state share is $887 million.
Local governments can combine funds with counties, cities, townships and
municipalities. Payment amounts will differ among the various settlements and
may not be received annually. The City expects to receive approximately
$605,256.92 through 2040. Since February 2023, the City has
received $171,244.19.
Settlement funds are intended to serve those most profoundly impacted by the
drug overdose crisis, with allowable uses focusing on prevention, harm
reduction, treatment and recovery.
The City's Settlement Funds would help fund the County's Opioid Settlement
Fund grant program, established in 2023. An Opioid Settlement Funding and
Management Agreement would exist between the City and County. Terms of
the Agreement would stipulate that -
- City-contributed funds would be for the benefit of city residents, only;
- The City participates in the review and approval of applicants providing
services to City residents;
- The City annually reviews, with the County, the Agreement as well as the Grant
Program;
- Funds would be used for activities that meet the definition of opioid
remediation, be evidence-based strategies or promising practices and align
with approved uses;
- 5% of funds to be used for administrative expenses, including any reporting
Page 7 of 14
requirements.
- The City would receive an annual accounting report of the grant program,
including total funds awarded, name of the grantee, category of assistance,
target audience, project summary and amounts approved.,
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Opioid Settlement Funding and
Management Agreement between the City of Muskegon and County of
Muskegon, and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign.
Motion by Commissioner German, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to approve
the Opioid Settlement Funding and Management Agreement between the City

G. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance - Cat Cafés in Commercial Zones
SECOND READING Planning
Staff-initiated request to amend the zoning ordinance to allow cat cafés as a
special use permitted in all commercial districts excluding B-1. This would
include the following zoning districts: B-2; B-4; FBC, DT; FBC, MS; FBC, NC; LFBC,
LC; and LFBC, MR.
Staff has been receiving many calls regarding the desire to open a cat café in
Muskegon. These types of businesses are becoming more popular throughout
the state. A specific ordinance allowing these uses is necessary because any
property housing more than four cats is considered a commercial kennel.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
ordinance amendment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to amend the zoning ordinance to allow cat
cafés as a special use permitted in the following zoning districts: B-2; B-4; FBC,
DT; FBC, MS; FBC, NC; LFBC, LC; and LFBC, MR.
Motion by Commissioner Gorman, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to amend the
zoning ordinance to allow cat cafés as a special use permitted in the zones as

I. Apple Avenue Resolution Public Works
Staff requests adoption of a resolution supporting MDOT's preliminary designs for
Apple Avenue, including lane reductions and non-motorized facilities.
As presented and discussed October 7th, MDOT is progressing with the design of
Apple Avenue. In accordance with public input that supports slower speeds,
improved safety and upgraded facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists, MDOT is
investigating reducing the number of lanes. In particular, as Apple Avenue
approaches the downtown area, the street may be overbuilt for the amount of
traffic. Reducing the number of lanes provide the opportunity to increase
green space and potentially provide parking areas, again both thing supported
by public feedback and focus groups.
In order to proceed with the studies necessary to support the lane reduction,
MDOT needs a formal resolution from the City Commission. The resolution
provides that and expresses the City's support for the project. Additional
agreements, including a potential turnback agreement as discussed last night,
will be presented as MDOT moves through the design process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution supporting MDOT's preliminary
designs for Apple Avenue including lane reductions and non-motorized
facilities.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Commissioner German, to adopt the
resolution supporting MDOT's preliminary designs for Apple Avenue including
lane reductions and non-motorized facilities.

2024-85 NEW BUSINESS
B. Creation of a short-term rental ordinance Planning
Staff-initiated request to amend Section 2314 of the zoning ordinance to create
a short-term rental ordinance. The ordinance uses an overlay district approach,
splitting the City up into 11 different zones. These zones match the City of
Muskegon census tracts. Census tract information was used to determine the
number of housing units in each zone. Each zone would be allowed up to 4% of
the housing units as short-term rentals. Areas within the Downtown Development
Authority and Lakeside Business Improvement District/Corridor Improvement
Authority boundaries would be exempt from the cap on the number of units.
There would be no limit to the amount of short-term rentals in these areas.
Please see the Short-Term Renal Chart that depicts the number of units and
short-term rentals in each zone. At 4% of the units, Zone 1 would be over the limit
by 39 short-term rentals. No new short-term rentals would be allowed in Zone 1
until the number of short-term rentals dropped below 34.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this request at a special
meeting on Thursday, September 26. The Planning Commission unanimously (5-
0, with 4 members absent) voted to recommend approval of the short-term
rental ordinance, with the following conditions:
1. Amend Section 1(c) - exemptions - to also include the Lakeside Corridor
Improvement Authority along with the Lakeside Business Improvement District.
2. Remove Section 4 that would allow the transferring of licenses.
These conditions have been reflected in the ordinance. The redline version
depicts the changes that the Planning Commission have requested.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to amend Section
2314 of the zoning ordinance to create a short-term rental ordinance as
presented.
Motion by Commissioner Keener, second by Commissioner German, to
approve the request to amend Section 2314 of the zoning ordinance to create a

Short-Term Rental - A property in which a tenant is allowed to lease the dwelling
unit, without a host, for periods of less than 28 days but more than 24 hours in
return for remuneration. A rental in which the host resides on premises shall not
be considered a short-term rental, but shall still register with the City.

recommend approval of the definition of short-term rental.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to amend Article II of
the zoning ordinance to create a definition for short term rental as proposed.

A. FY25 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Engineering Services
Public Works
Staff requests authorization to enter into two contracts with Prein & Newhof in
the total amount of $1,113,600 for design and construction engineering services
related to the FY25 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program,
associated projects and service line replacements.
The City is again fortunate to have been offered loans, grants and principal
forgiveness through the FY25 Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF) program
through the State of Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes &
Energy (EGLE). Specifically, the City has been offered a combination of grants
and principal forgiveness totaling 20% funding, with the remaining 80% eligible
for a 20- or 30-year loan at a 2% interest rate which is well below market.
Due to scoring requirements, several projects were included in the City's
application and must be completed under the program in order to take
advantage of the principle forgiveness (which is specifically associated with the
lead service line replacement work). The overall budget for the projects is
$15,591,000. $13,985,000 is for water mains, lead service lines and other work
eligible for and included in the DWSRF program (the remainder will be paid from
sewer and road funds on hand). Specifically, the program includes:
• $10,000,000 for lead service line replacements, including $2,797,000 in
principle forgiveness
• $392,000 for looping projects at Yuba and Wood and at Wildwood Lane
and Dowd
• $488,000 for recoating the interior of the Marshall Street Elevated Storage
Tank (water tower)
• $3,105,000 for the replacement of water main and lead service lines in
Catherine Avenue from Irwin to Wood
• $1,606,000 of ineligible costs for the Catherine Avenue project to be paid
for with local street and sewer funds on hand
Depending on bid prices, it is anticipated the FY25 program will replace up to
1,400 lead service lines. The debt service fee the DWSRF-eligible portion of the
program is expected to add to the water bill is estimated at $3.45 per month for
a residential account, and would begin impacting customer's bills in FY27 or
FY28. Portions of the engineering work required for these projects are included in
Page 12 of 14
the 24/25 budget and should they move forward, the projects will continue to
have allocations included in the 25/26 and 26/27 fiscal year budgets. The
engineering costs are eligible for the principle forgiveness and bond at the
same cost split as the construction work.
A qualifications-based process was used in 2019 that shortlisted Prein & Newhof
along with two other firms to provide engineering services for these projects.
Staff solicited proposals from Prein & Newhof which totaled $1,113,600, split into
one contract for the lead service line replacements and a second contract for
the remainder of the projects. The staff has reviewed the proposals and feels
Prein & Newhof are best suited to handle these projects based on their
experience and their intimate familiarity with our water system, the DWSRF
program, and their history of exemplary performance on similar projects over
the past several years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to enter into two contracts with Prein
& Newhof in the total amount of $1,113,600 for design and construction
engineering services related to the FY25 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
(DWSRF) program, associated projects and service line replacements.
