Memorandum
To: Mayor and Commissioners
From: Frank Peterson
Re: City Commission Meeting
Date: September 4 2014
We have a number of items on the agenda, and I thought you could use a little background on them as
you prepare for our meeting next week.
1. At the work session, we are asking the Commission to consider moving our local Commission
elections to even years. This is an efficiency, voter-turnout, and cost issue. I think it improves
all aspects of these three areas. If approved, all Commissioners would gain an additional year
on their current terms.
2. Also, under other business at the Work Session, we may be in a position to discuss the medical
marihuana ordinance. It’s not on the formal work session agenda at this time because we are
meeting with staff and counsel on Monday afternoon. If we are comfortable with all of the
changes proposed/made, we will present those changes to the Commission during the work
session. If not, it’ll likely wait until the October work session. Either way, we will not be asking
for a vote on the ordinance this week.
3. We are also working on a draft resolution for the usage of the 4-mill increase. We hope to have
that ready to present at the work session. If the Commission agrees with the wording, we can
add it to the regular agenda.
4. Under the consent agenda, we are asking for approval of a wage scale for part time police
officers. These officers were authorized by the union in the last collective bargaining
agreement. We are also asking to sell the property at 2355 Lincoln to Habitat for Humanity so
they can build a home on the site in 2015. We are asking for a renewal of the trunkline
maintenance contract with MDOT, as well as the renewal of the youth basketball league and
open gym program. Finally, we are asking to accept bids for HVAC work at the Public Services
building.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the sale of a vacant buildable lot at 360
East Isabella to May Property Management, LLC, a Michigan limited liability
company who owns the adjacent parcel at 1089 Sophia, Muskegon, MI. The lot
is 66 x 132 ft. and is being offered to May Property Management, LLC for $900
plus the fee to register the deed. May Property Management, LLC will be
combining this property with his existing property, which would be considered
unbuildable should his home be destroyed over 75%. His property is 33 x 132 ft.
The True Cash Value (TCV) for the property listed in the Assessor’s office is $2,500,
1
and our price is set at $1,875 which is 75% of that amount. The City has owned
the property since 2004 and there have been no inquiries for potential
construction.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The sale of this lot will generate additional tax revenue for
the City and will place the property back on the City’s tax rolls thus relieving the
City of continued maintenance costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution and to authorize both the
Mayor and the Clerk to sign said resolution and deed.

F. 2014 Great Lakes Shoreline Cities Green Infrastructure Grant.
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The US Environmental Protection Agency has released
applications for a Green Infrastructure Grant, to be used for projects that
improve the Great Lakes water quality by reducing/treating stormwater runoff
via green infrastructure. The West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development
Commission (WMSRDC) has offered to prepare the grant application (in
conjunction with Nederveld, Inc. and Golder & Associates). WMSRDC will also
manage the project, if the grant funding is approved (with City participation
and oversight). The project must be for public property, therefore the City must
officially apply for the grant. The proposed project will be based on the SAW
grant proposal (previously approved), with implementation through the new
grant for stormwater management/green infrastructure. The project will include
stormwater management/green infrastructure on the properties surrounding the
Beidler Road end area (City and County parcels). It may also include a rain
garden at Hartshorn near the far back side of the Fricano’s parking lot. This area
would be visible from the Lakeshore Trail, Hartshorn and Fricano’s. There is
currently a low spot where wetland vegetation attempts to grow and this will be
enhanced as it will function for stormwater filtration and will be more attractive.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The previously approved SAW grant will act as match for
the grant. There may be in-kind elements that the City can assist with.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the City’s application for the USEPA
Green Infrastructure Grant, which includes committing to preserve/maintain the

well as any documents required to accept the grant, if we receive approval.

MPS 21st CCLC Youth Basketball League & Open Gym Proposal
From: Muskegon Public Schools
To: The City of Muskegon
Muskegon Public Schools is continually looking for new ways to "reach out and change lives" in
our community. Collaborating with the City of Muskegon will help offer safe, positive after school
recreational opportunities for the students serviced throughout our communities. Last year's Youth
Basketball and Open Gym program established a successful foundation to sustain this collaborative
effort. Based on review of expenses our current proposal is as follows:
1.) The MPS Youth Support Services Office located @ Muskegon Hackley Administration Building,
would administer the following programs: Open Gym and the Youth Basketball League. These
programs would run between October 2014 and March 2015.
2.) The City of Muskegon would contribute $18,500 towards this partnership. The funds would be used
for the following expenses: program administration and supervision, custodial services,
supplies/materials and support personnel (i.e. referee's and statisticians).
Program Descriptions:
1.) Boy's and girl's basketball seasons would run consecutively for (6) weeks with the (6th) week being
tournament play to conclude each season. The girl’s season would start Fall of 2014 and the boy’s would
begin after the conclusion of Christmas break (Winter 2015).
2.) Student registration fee would remain $25 per student to include: reversible game jerseys, individual
participation medals, team plaques, and trophies for the tournament champion and runner up teams.
3.) MPS will accept responsibility for all administrative and supervisory obligations for the Youth
Basketball League and Open Gym.
Open Gym:
1.) Open gym will be offered for (3) hours to the community the day following the Saturday basketball
games of both girls and boys seasons.

program.

Youth Basketball League 2013-2014
B. (Outcomes)
Muskegon Public Schools 21st CCLC Youth Basketball League serviced
approximately 95 youth girl participants (22 youth girls participation
increase from 2012) and 205 youth boy participants (30 youth boys
participation increase from 2013) for a grand total of 300 youth
throughout the 2013-2014 season. This year’s program proved to be
another success in impacting the community and population being served
by providing an outlet for youth to compete in a highly organized safe
environment ensuring all in attendance and the youth involved from the
potential of indulging in high risk activity. Our department, staff, and
coaches partnered very closely with the building Principals, Dean of
Students, and Faculty of each participating building to ensure all student
athletes participating were meeting behavior & academic expectations
outlined by their respective schools. The absolute qualification for student
participation in games was wholly predicated on good behavior and good
grades at school along positive sportsmanship during games. Although it is
hard to quantify if the reduction in negative behaviors in school were
directly associated with involvement in the youth basketball league, what
we can measure is that our program significantly contributed to the
behavior improvements exhibited daily at school and during youth league
events by all youth associated with this year’s youth basketball league.
Open Gym 2013-2014
This year Muskegon Public Schools 21st CCLC department offered the
City of Muskegon Open Gym Program to the community from October
27, 2013 to December 8, 2013 and January 26, 2014 to February 23, 2014
totaling10 weeks. From 1-4pm on Sunday evenings, residents of
Muskegon could use the gym for recreational use as an alternative to high
risk activity. Through 10 weeks, a total of 450 individuals participated in
this program averaging 45-50 youth on a weekly basis. Sign in sheets
documented that 100% of the participants were residents of Muskegon
with 80% of the youth participants documented being eligible for free or
reduced lunch.
C. Our Project accomplished all initial plans and exceeded expectations with garnering a
higher number of participants from the previous year.
D. An unanticipated benefit was concession/admission donations as it allowed our
