2025-09 NEW BUSINESS
A. Lead Service Line Neighborhood Communication Public Works
Dan VanderHeide, Director of Public Works, presented information on lead
service line replacements happening in 2025 and beyond. Staff have been
working with the City's neighborhood associations to present a series of topics
at their individual meetings. In the first quarter of 2025, staff focused on lead
service line replacements. To inform the Commission and members of the
public who may not attend a neighborhood association meeting, Dan
VanderHeide presented the information at the Worksession.
B. City of Muskegon Park Rules DPW- Parks
Kyle Karczewski, Parks and Recreation Director, presented park rules,
recommended by the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee, for
consideration and discussion. The Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee
(PRAC) workshopped rules and have recommended the document be
presented as City of Muskegon Park rules. The rules listed were unanimously
agreed upon via vote by the PRAC. While certain parks may have special rules
for their unique park usage (such as Pere Marquette & Hackley Park), these
rules will be across the board for all parks both community and neighborhood.
Seasonal park rangers will assist enforcement of rules alongside Muskegon
Public Safety. This will be discussed further at the February 25th City
Commission Meeting.
