PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF MUSKEGON
CAMPAIGN TO REDUCE CIGARETTE LITTER AT PERE MARQUETTE PARK
PROPOSED NON-SMOKING AREA AT PERE MARQUETTE PARK
Proposed non-smoking area for Pere Marquette would be south of the sidewalk leading to
the pier to the water plant on Beach Street.
PROPOSED SIGNAGE
Eight to ten no smoking signs would be posted along Beach Street at Pere Marquette
Park.
PROPOSED CIGARETTE BUTT RECEPTACLE
In an effort to capture cigarette litter as individuals leave their vehicles and enter the park
the committee will purchase special receptacles to be placed next to garbage cans along
Beach Street. The city will put receptacles in place and anchor them. They will empty the
ashtrays when they empty garbage bins at the beach. (Studies have been done showing
smokers are not likely to put spent cigarette butts in trash cans because they are afraid
they will start a fire. The cigarette receptacles provide smokers with an option for their
cigarette litter.)
ADOPT-A-BEACH MONITORING PROGRAM
Muskegon Save Our Shoreline participates in monthly volunteer cleanups at Pere
Marquette from April through September. During their visits volunteers not only remove
trash at the park but record their findings. To gauge the impacts of making a portion of
Pere Marquette Smoke Free, the Adopt-a-Beach team will clean and keep data on the
same section of beach using the same number of volunteers working for the same number
of hours each month.
VOLUNTEER RANGER PROGRAM
The City will explore a volunteer ranger program in which volunteers will patrol the
beach during high use times to work with city rangers.
MUSKEGON CIGARETTE LITTER EDUCATION CAMPAIGN
Public Service Announcements: Develop and distribute public service announcements to
local media outlets that focus on getting smokers to properly discard of cigarette litter.
Newspaper mticles, letters to the editors, organizational web sites: Encourage individuals,
organizations and other Adopt-a-Beach teams to write letters to the editor in an effort to
inform the community about cigarette litter. Work with other organizations to get
information on smoke free beach posted in their newsletters and on their websites. West
Michigan Environmental Action Council, Alliance for the Great Lakes, Muskegon
Chronicle and the Muskegon County Health Project have recently written articles on this
subject
Media interviews: Contact local media outlets to schedule interviews throughout the
spring and summer to provide information to the community on data results from
cleanups and impacts from smoking related litter.
Informational posters about cigarette litter: Create and post informational posters in the
community that focus on cigarette butts as litter. Post at concession stands at Pere
Marquette, bathrooms at Kruse and Spider Park, stores in Lakeside, etc.
Pocket ashtray give away: Give out pocket ash trays during the annual September
cleanup along with information about cigarette litter on beaches. Ashtrays would have
information on cigarette litter imprinted on them. Explore other venues for distribution of
pocket ash trays. (Hotel/motel smoking rooms, Yacht Clubs, Marina's, community
events, etc, )

Subject: Evaluation Form
I have had an opportunity to review the most recent draft of the City Manager's evaluation form and I think it is a great
improvement over the form currently used. However, I do have a few comments that I would like you to consider.
1. The first section of the form is in a statement format and then switches to questions when it comes to the
Personal Characteristic portion.
2. One area says "Provides results of staff reviews .... " I am not quite sure what that means. Is it that reviews are to
be conducted by the manager or that the reviews conducted will be provided to someone specifically?
3. One area mentions the maintenance of minutes of meetings with department heads and staff. This does not
happen currently in the strict sense, although I take notes at various meetings as needed. If this serves some
purpose it could be worthwhile. Otherwise, it could be a lot of unnecessary work. I would be apprehensive about
preparing and keeping minutes of staff meetings that then becomes a public record. This could have a chilling
effect on candid discussion.
4. I did not see anything relating to intergovernmental cooperation. I think that should be an area for evaluation as
long as it remains a City Commission priority.
I hope this input is useful to you. Thanks.

Per your request, regarding the question of how much the Insurance coverage amount
should be for Commercial Liability Insurance, we consulted with the City's Risk

Million Dollars.

1. The Parameter of the business
2. What they are selling
3. It may be a rider to their regular business
4. Coverage amount is determined by the scope of what is sold to the
consumer.
Staff will be present at the May 7th City Commission Work Session to respond to further
questions that the Commission might have on this issue.
Thank you.

RE: Commercial Liability Insurance for Farmer Market
Vendors Selling Processed and/or Food Items
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The practice of requiring certain market vendors of the
Farmers Market and Flea Market to obtain Commercial Liability Insurance was
enacted as the market has evolved into a processor-friendly seller venue. It offers
baked-goods, cheeses, jams, relishes, jerky, and has expanded to offer meat
products, poultry and has home-licensed processors. Until 1998 the market was
limited to agricultural products. With the introduction of fresh meat, poultry, shellfish,
and fish, mechanical refrigeration was required. Therefore it was decided to require
vendors to have Commercial Liability Insurance for the purpose of protecting the city,
vendor, and customers, when selling or purchasing market product and/or
mechanically-altered (processed) foods.
Vendors have complied with Michigan State Department of Agriculture and
purchased licenses to operate their Business. The license does not cover one from
improper food handling, storage, or processing.
In the process of the Commission studying this issue it is recommended that the
Commission adopt the practice and it be written into the Farmers and Flea Market
policy to include Commercial Liability Insurance for all vendors selling food and/or
mechanically -altered (processed) foods.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Presently not required but advised we uphold
requirement for Commercial Liability Insurance as policy.

COMMENTS
Vegetables and fruits are picked in the morning, FRESHNESS is the problem
Have attended many afternoon markets and they never work
If hours are in the evening on Thursdays I just will not attend the market on that day
Rather than change hours, why not extend them
25% of weekly sales are already done on Thursday mornings
Why change what is successful
We stay at market in the afternoons but it is much slower than mornings
I will stay later but only if there is business
Our customers depend on us to be there at that time, and they already come in the
afternoon anyway
I have to keep fruits and vegetables cold, on ice, the ice will melt very fast in the
afternoon
It is not good to cultivate in the morning when dew is on the crops, so afternoons
work better for that
We have hired help in the field in the afternoon
I think people would rather come to the market earlier when it is cooler out
We have tried afternoon markets and they NEVER EVER WORK
Please leave the hours the same
We sell plants that in the afternoon it is too hot to stay at the market, because the
plants can't take the excess heat
If market time is changed I will try it, but the heat is an issue so I may not be able to
participate
The market is dead by 2:00 pm
Our customers have stated they want it in the morning hours
We will still come on Thursdays but we will not stay late
Please keep the hours the same, if we stay late on Thursdays we are rushing around to
pick and pack for Friday and Saturday market
Market should have a varied schedule
Perhaps afternoon hours would bring in customers that can't normally come
We would try it
It would be interesting to try different hours
I am flexible, but if it does not do good after a month switch it back please
I am not available in the morning so I would be much more inclined to sell in the
afternoon
Thursdays have been slow anyway, why not make it happen
Seems the public is used to current hours if you change will it hurt the market?
Brain dead idea, all markets are open in the AM
It is usually slow by 2 pm why start later
Go ahead and change it, I just won't be there on that day
It is hard enough farming right now without changing the hours
I will return to market but not on Thursdays
Our customers come in the morning for FRESH PRODUCE
Keep the hours the same because the market is about all done by 1:00 pm
Very doubtful I return on Thursday
Why change a good thing!
