Memorandum
  To:      Mayor and City Commissioners

  From: City Treasurer

  Re:     Board of Review Poverty Exemption Policy



 Each year the County Treasurer posts property that is going to foreclosure for non-payment
 of property taxes. Some treasurers of individual municipalities go along with the County
 Treasurer to help locate the properties. This year is no exception, as the County Treasurer is
 again posting properties for non-payment of taxes and some municipalities are seeing
 signmcant increases in the numbers.

 As responsible government, we are entrusted to help our residents in gaining the knowledge
 to help themselves. Under state law, each township, village, and city is required to have a
 policy outlining the requirements to obtain a deferral/exemption if they qualify. Each year the
 City of Muskegon receives a number of applications. When one person is helped to stay in
 their home and have the opportunity to keep it off the foreclosure list, we have done our job.

 Recently all Assessors and Equalization Directors in the state were notified that the State Tax
 Commission intends to undertake a statewide review of poverty exemptions over the next
 year. Assessors were asked to review the policies adopted by their local units to ensure that
 they meet the requirements of the state law at MCL 211. 7u.

 A review of the records in the City Clerk's Office by the City Clerk indicates that no resolution
 of a Poverty Exemption Policy was found to have been on file as being adopted by the City
 Commission. Since state law requires that a policy be adopted by the governing board, the
 attached resolution has been drafted for approval and adoption by the City Commission.

 For a number of years, the city has been using the county's uniform application process for
 Homestead Poverty Exemptions. The applications have been processed by the Assessor's
 Office under the direction of the County Equalization Department with review and approval or
 denial of the applications by the city's Board of Review. The attached resolution is not a
 change to the policy or the process, but rather a formal adoption of the policy by the City
 Commission.

 Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

                                                        Resolution No. 2008-24(a)

              Resolution to Adopt Poverty Exemption Income Guidelines and Asset Test

WHEREAS, the principal residence of persons who, in the judgment of the City Assessor and
Board of Review, by reason of poverty, are unable to contribute to the public charges is eligible
for exemption in whole or part from taxation under the General Property Tax Act; and

WHEREAS, the City Commission is required by Section 7u of the General Property Tax Act,
Public Act 206 of 1893 (MCL 211.?u), to adopt guidelines for poverty exemptions:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, pursuant to MCL 211.?u, that the City of
Muskegon, Muskegon County, adopts the following guidelines for the City Assessor and Board
of Review to implement.

The guidelines shall include but not be limited to the specific income and asset levels of the
claimant and all persons residing in the residence, including any property tax credit returns filed
in the current or immediately preceding year.

To be eligible, a person shall do all of the following on an annual basis:

      1) Be an owner of and occupy as a principal residence the property for which an exemption
         is requested.

      2) File a claim with the City Assessor or Board of Review, accompanied by Federal and
         State income tax returns for all persons residing in the residence, including any property
         tax credit returns filed in the immediately preceding year or in the current year.

      3) Produce a valid drivers' license or other form of positive identification if requested.

      4) Produce a deed, land contract, or other evidence of ownership of the property for which
         an exemption is requested if requested.

      5) Meet the Federal poverty income guidelines as defined and determined annually by the
         United States Office of Management and Budget (or its successor).

      6) Total household assets, except for the principal residence being claimed, essential
         household goods, and one motor vehicle, may not exceed one quarter (25%) of the
         Federal poverty guideline for the entire household. Assets include, but are not limited to
         real estate, motor vehicles, recreational vehicles and equipment, time shares, certificates
         of deposit, savings accounts, checking accounts, stocks, bonds, life insurance, retirement
         funds, antiques and collectibles, etc. Assets do not include basic essential household
         goods such as furniture, appliances, dishes and clothing. The value of assets will not be
         reduced by the amount of any indebtedness owed on such assets, or any indebtedness
         otherwise owed by the applicant or members of the household.




C:\Docurnents and Settings\Potter\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKIA\Poverty Exemption Resolution.doc
       7) The applicant must be able to produce evidence as requested that they have owned and
          occupied the residence for a minimum of two years before tax day of the year in which
          they seek the exemption.

       8) The State Equalized Value of the property for which the exemption is claimed shall not
          exceed the mean average for residentially-classed properties in the City of Muskegon for
          the current tax year.

BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the Board of Review shall follow the above stated policy and
Federal guidelines in granting or denying an exemption, unless the Board of Review determines
there are substantial and compelling reasons why there should be a deviation from the policy
and Federal guidelines and these are communicated in writing to the claimant.

This resolution passed.

Re:     2007 Operating Transfers



As we near completion of the annual audit, I'm pleased to inform you that general
fund operating results for 2007 were better than anticipated. Primarily this is due to
the unexpected strong performance of the local income tax combined with tight cost
controls. Final 2007 net income tax collections stand at $7,617,746 up from our
revised estimate of $7,000,000.

The unexpected good news affords us the opportunity to address some important
issues by making additional year-end transfers from the General Fund to areas of
need. Specifically, staff recommends making the following transfers as part of the
fiscal year 2007 closeout:

       FROM                       TO                   AMOUNT                     REASON

Re:       Street Lights


As per your request, I had a chance to explore some options with C.E. regarding the
existing street lights along the recently converted sections of Muskegon & Webster in to
two way streets. My conversation with C.E. focused on two options, remove or de-
energ1ze;

      •    Remove;
                                                                                  th
      1- Removal of the cobra-head lights on both Muskegon & Webster from 9 street to
         Spring Street. This option consists ofremovingall the mid-block fixtures for an
         estimated count of about 40 or so at a cost of ($630 per pole) of $25,000 and an
         annual energy savings of$7,200.
      2- Removal of the Cobra-head lights along Muskegon & Webster from 9th to 4th
         street (mostly residential). This option consists of removing all the mid block
         fixtures with an estimated count of20 at a cost of $13,000 and possible annual
         energy savings of $3,600.

The advantages of the removal options are, on going energy savings, less possibly un-
desirable illumination, possibly discourage thru traffic, less cluttering along these narrow
terraces & less poles to worry about during storms.

The disadvantages on the other hand are; disappointed residents and business owners if
they associate safety with illumination and initial investment.

      •    De-energize;

The cost to de-energize would be about $3,000 for any section(s) we desire. The
advantages are the initial cost and savings as well as the ability to re-energize without
much expense. The disadvantages are cluttered terraces, rusty poles and the possible
complaints about street lights being out.

         Muskegon City Manager
         933 Terrace
         Muskegon,MI 49440

         Dear Mr. Mazade:

         My fiance and I are growing tired of our careers. She is a physical therapist on the
         lakeshore, and I a project engineer for a Rockford plastics company. We have a strong
         desire to run a business near Lake Michigan, and Pier Marquette would be an ideal
         location for us.

         I spoke with Diane in zoning last week regarding the possible leasing of Pier Marquette
         property from the city, as Larry Zeiser, owner of Captain Jack's currently does. Diane
         referred me to you. The initial plan for this service-oriented, year-round business would
         require approximately 0.5 acre with a two-level facility. Parking would have to be
         discussed. Please contact me at your earliest convenience, as we would like to get things
         moving along.

        Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.
