Memorandum
To: Mayor and Commissioners
From: Frank Peterson
Re: City Commission Meeting
Date: December 4, 2014
We have a number of items on the agenda, and I thought you could use a little background on some of
them as you prepare for our meeting next week.
1. Under the consent agenda, we are asking the Commission to approve:
a. Last meeting’s minutes.
b. Authorization to accept few specific properties from the county and deny the remaining
properties that did not sell at the recent tax foreclosure auction. Most of the properties
we want to accept are actually vacant lots adjacent to existing city property. One property
that we would like to acquire is a vacant house on Sanford that we plan to rehab with
HOME Funds.
c. Authorization to submit a letter of interest to Bloomberg Philanthropies for consideration
in a two-year grant program focused on using art to foster community revitalization and
community inclusion.
d. Approve an agreement with MDOT to participate in the resurfacing of US 31 BR from
Sherman to Shoreline Drive.
e. Approval of the fair housing agreement with Muskegon County.
f. Approval of the settlement agreement with COAM. We have finished negotiations with the
police command unit, and the following was ratified by the unit:
1. Agreement term from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2018.
2. Increases of 1%, 1%, 1.5%, and 0%
3. Lump sum payments of $600, $0, $600, and $1,500.
4. Creation of a field training officer compensation program that applies to
all unit members. It would be equal to ½% of the one (1) year
sergeant’s pay.
5. Changes to comp-time that limit the amount an employee can accrue in
a calendar year to 110 hours.
6. Changes to the way holidays are administered in the unit.
7. Changes to the way the City’s HMO plan is administered.
8. Changes to the way workers compensation is administered in the unit.
g. Approval of the non-union pay scale. We are proposing that the top non-represented
officials receive 1% and the remaining non-represented employees receive 1.5%. The
employees receiving the 1% would also receive a $500 disbursement to a qualified
retirement program. This is comparable to the raises negotiated for the various unions.
h. The City is waiting for the contractor’s lien period on the Farmer’s Market to expire. A fifth
amendment to the Farmers Market agreement is needed.
2. Under Hearings/Other/New Business we have four topics for discussion:
a. We are requesting approval of an Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate for AFI Real
Estate.
b. We are proposing a parking ban beginning December 15th and ending February 28/29th
each year from 2am to 6am to allow plow drivers access to the streets as needed. This
process was much more difficult than originally anticipated because of some discrepancies
we found in the existing code of ordinances. We have it all figured out, and are ready to
proceed with adoption.
c. Approval of the updated user fee.
d. Approval of the City’s new Neighbor to Neighbor program that is designed to provide
opportunities and incentives to get employees more involved in the Muskegon community.
The program, when fully-implemented, would provide opportunities for paid-time-off and
flex-time to volunteer during the normal work day, and potentially could provide financial
incentives for employees that volunteer greatly in the community outside of the normal
work day. We have a large staff, and could potentially have a great impact on the
community.
If there are questions on any agenda items, please try to let staff know in advance, and we will be sure
to have the appropriate data/research available at the meeting.
CITY OF MUSKEGON
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
NOVEMBER 25, 2014
CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS @ 5:30 P.M.
MINUTES
The Regular Commission Meeting of the City of Muskegon was held at City Hall,
933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, MI at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, November 25, 2014.
Vice Mayor Spataro opened the meeting with prayer after which the
Commission and public recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
ROLL CALL FOR THE REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING:
Present: Vice Mayor Lawrence Spataro, Commissioners Eric Hood, Willie
German, Dan Rinsema-Sybenga, Byron Turnquist, and Ken Johnson, City
Manager Franklin Peterson, City Attorney John Schrier, and City Clerk Ann Marie
Cummings.
Absent: Mayor Stephen Gawron (excused).
2014-89 CONSENT AGENDA:
A. Approval of Minutes. CITY CLERK
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve minutes of the November 10th City
Commission Meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the minutes.
B. Farmers’ Market – Fourth Amendment to Purchase Agreement.
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City is waiting for the contractor’s lien period on the
Farmers’ Market to expire, so the property can be transferred from the DMDC to
the City free of any claims. This should occur in the near future. Therefore, a
Fourth Amendment to the Purchase Agreement is recommended to extend the
closing date. The Amendment allows for continued operation of the Farmers’
Market prior to the official closing on the property, with the City “fully responsible
for any and all liability related to operating the farmers’ market” during that
1
time. The Closing is moved to December 30, 2014, or before.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the “Fourth Amendment to Purchase
Agreement” and authorize the City Manager’s signature (after the fact).
C. Farmers’ Market Kitchen Operations Management Contract – First
Amendment to “Contract”. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City of Muskegon and Pioneer Resources, in
conjunction with the Muskegon County Health Department, entered into the
“Operations Management Contract Farmers’ Market Commercial Kitchen” on
May 20, 2014. Although the Kitchen has not opened yet (equipment still needs
to be purchased and installed), Pioneer and the Health Department have been
actively engaged in the process. Pioneer has been responsible for organizing
the Kitchen meetings and determining the best equipment to purchase. They
have also been instrumental in setting up the website (along with the Health
Department and the City IT Department). Therefore, we request that the original
Contract be extended for another six months. By the end of that time, the
Kitchen should be ready for operation. If any changes to the Contract are
needed at that time, they can be included into a long-term contract.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the “First Amendment to City of
Muskegon Operations Management Contract Farmers’ Market Commercial
Kitchen” and authorize the Mayor and Clerk’s signatures.
E. Deficit Elimination Plan for Neighborhood Stabilization Fund. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: At June 30, 2014, the City of Muskegon Neighborhood
Stabilization Fund had a deficit balance of $100,054. Act 275 of the Public Acts
of 1980 requires that the City file a Deficit Elimination Plan with the Michigan
Department of Treasury. Staff is requesting adoption of the Neighborhood
Stabilization Elimination Plan and Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: As presented by the Deficit Elimination Plan, the
Neighborhood Stabilization Fund will no longer have a deficit by June 30, 2015.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of the Deficit Elimination Plan Resolutions.
F. Amendment to the Resolution Vacating Nims Street between Brunswick
Street and Vulcan Street. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: This portion of Nims Street was vacated in January of
2
2014; however, the wording in the resolution left a small portion of the street
intact. This resolution is to clarify the wording and to ensure that the entire
portion of the street is vacated.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the revised
resolution.
G. Computerized Tax Roll. TREASURER
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: This resolution will allow the City of Muskegon to upload
our tax roll along with other jurisdictions from the County electronically to the
State of Michigan for the next several years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval recommended.
Motion by Commissioner Rinsema-Sybenga, second by Commissioner Johnson
to approve the Consent Agenda as read minus Item D.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Hood, Spataro, German, Rinsema-Sybenga, Turnquist, and
Johnson
Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
2014-90 ITEM REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA:
D. Concession Contract for Concession Building at Pere Marquette Park.
PUBLIC WORKS
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is asking permission to enter into a three-year
contractual agreement for 2015, 2016, and 2017 with Morse Michael of Moji Inc.
for operating a Concession (“The Beach Cove”) at Pere Marquette Park.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Contract revenue for previous concession (“The Island”)
was $2,188 for the 2009 operating season, $3,625 in 2010, $1,830 in 2011, $1,296 in
2012, $1,380 in 2013 and then staff negotiated with “The Beach Cove”
Concessionaire for electrical upgrades to the building in 2014. Those costs
included around $2,200 in service panel upgrades in lieu of the normal 10%
commission and the Concessionaire also made an additional $1,800 in
circuit/receptacle upgrades as well. Concession revenue is normally 10% of
gross receipts. However, if approved by Commission, staff would once again
negotiate “in-kind” services/donation to Pere Marquette Park facilities or a 10%
commission of gross receipts for the length of this contract.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
3
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize DPW staff to enter into a three-year
Concession Agreement with Morse Michael of Moji Inc., for a Concession at the

and 2017.

Architectural Signage. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Pursuant to Public Act 198 of 1974, as amended, Port
City Architectural Signage, 2350 S. Getty Street, has requested the issuance of
an Industrial Facilities Tax Exemption Certificate. The total capital investment will
be $200,000 in real property and will create up to five jobs. This qualifies them for
a tax abatement of 12 years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will capture certain additional property taxes
generated by the expansion.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolution granting an Industrial
Facilities Exemption Certificate for a term of 12 years for real property.

MOTION PASSES
C. First Quarter 2014-15 Budget Reforecast. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: At this time staff is transmitting the First Quarter 2014-15
Budget Reforecast which outlines proposed changes to the original budget that
have come about as result of changes in revenue projections, policy priorities,
labor contracts, updated economic conditions, or other factors.
5
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Significant first quarter proposed adjustments to the
budget are as follows:
• The actual FY14 year-end fund balance for the General Fund was
$5,796,097 as compared to the estimated $4,751,031 used in preparing the
FY15 budget.
• General Fund revenues are reforecast to be $1,168,650 (+4.8%) higher
than originally budgeted. This increase is primarily due to grants to be
received from federal, state, and local sources for the Veteran’s Park
improvements.
• General Fund expenditures are estimated to be $1,134,910 or 4.7%
higher than originally budgeted. This increase is largely due to the
Veteran’s Park capital project which is almost entirely funded by grants.
• There are a number of changes proposed for capital projects and include:
◆ In the General Fund, Veteran’s Park upgrades as noted above,
addition of $65,000 for City Hall elevator repairs needed, reduction
of Pere Marquette Park playground equipment project from
$220,000 to $20,000.
◆ In the Major Streets Fund, proposed projects are now $6,825,000
compared to $2,195,000 as originally budgeted, largely due the
receipt of $3.3 million in grant funds for Muskegon and Webster.
◆ In the Local Streets Fund, proposed projects were originally
budgeted at $732,000 and have been reduced to $60,000.
◆ In the Public Improvement Fund, the proposed beach warning
system has been eliminated.
◆ In the State Grants Fund, the two projects in the original budget
have been moved to other funds.
◆ In the Sewer Fund, adjustments have been made to reflect the
SAW grant and the carryover of infiltration grant funds from the
previous year.
◆ In Marina Fund, the docks and building improvements project
has been removed.
◆ In the Equipment Fund, capital items have been adjusted to
reflect revisions of needs versus available resources.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: City Commission approval of this reforecast will
formally amend the City’s 2014-15 budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
6
Motion by Commissioner Rinsema-Sybenga, second by Commissioner Johnson
to approve the First Quarter 2014-15 Budget Reforecast.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Johnson, Hood, Spataro, German, Rinsema-Sybenga, and
Turnquist
Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
ANY OTHER BUSINESS: Discussion was held on the Muskegon and Webster
project. Consensus was to leave the two lights in place and then synchronize
those two lights and the one on Clay & Third Street to facilitate the north-south
traffic.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: Public comments were received.
ADJOURNMENT: The City Commission Meeting adjourned at 6:45 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Ann Marie Cummings, MMC

RE: Request to Deny & Accept Properties that did not

and Community & Neighborhood Services have gone over the parcels to determine which
ones to accept.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To deny and accept certain parcels and authorize both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign said
resolution.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
None.

RE: Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Public Art Challenge is a new program to support
temporary public art projects that can transform civil spaces and drive economic
development. Project submittals must formally be submitted by cities, through their
mayors, although communities must demonstrate collaboration between artists, arts
organizations, city government and others. As the timeline for submittal for the
project overview is December 15, a collaboration is being formed between the Cities
of Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, Norton Shores, Roosevelt Park and North
Muskegon, the County (with the County Grants Administrator acting as project
coordinator and grant writer), the MAISD, the Community Foundation, the Muskegon
Museum of Art, the Muskegon Art Festival and the downtown Arts Committee. The
proposal will include the Lyman Davis sculpture, as well as school research and
writing projects tied to Muskegon’s port history, design and creation of small ship
replicas to place throughout downtown and neighborhood art (see attached draft
description). The details of the project will be formulated further if we are asked to
submit a full proposal.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: If approved, the City of Muskegon will receive up to $1 million
over two years for the project.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the project submittal by December 15,
2014.
Bloomberg Public Art Challenge – Project Synopsis
A. Proposed Project Title:
The Port City Art Project: Vibrant Community Spaces, Artistic Historic Places
B. Project Description: Building on the history of Muskegon, a sculpture will be resurrected in
downtown Muskegon representing the last commercial schooner to sail the Great Lakes, whose
home was the Port Muskegon, the Lyman Davis. This project is intended to use science,
engineering, art, and history as a means to develop community vitality. Building diverse inclusive
neighborhoods through place making will provide each community identity and community pride.
This demonstration project will focus on three phases of community engagement:
a. Partnering with local schools in identified neighborhoods, miniature replicas of the Lyman
Davis will be provided to students as means to research and represent a sailor on the
vessel. Working with an artist, each school will assist in creating, through artistic
expression, a representation of that specific sailor.
b. These miniature replicas will be placed throughout the downtown business district as a
means to encourage walkable communities with an associated scavenger hunt of sorts.
Each replica will be placed throughout the city, hints to each replica location will be
printed, families and patrons will be able to take a walk through the downtown in search
of each replica. In the process, they will learn the maritime history of Muskegon.
c. Each artist will then be asked to recreate the replica on a community fixture that will be
used as a kiosk for way finding, community event marketing, local attractions and
tourism. Each kiosk will be placed strategically throughout metropolitan neighborhoods as
a way to revitalize the neighborhood through diversity and artistic expression, using a
designated space to create neighborhood places. Muskegon has undergone a great deal
of economic hardship since the Great Recession, neighborhoods are in desperate need
of place making, these community kiosks will provide focal points for neighborhood
identity. At the 2016 Lakeshore Arts Festival, the community will be asked to vote on the
best community kiosk, that artist and school will be awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
awards.
C. Project Location: Through an effort to revitalize metropolitan Muskegon areas, the cities of
Norton Shores, Roosevelt Park, Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, North Muskegon and Muskegon
County will participate in this demonstration project. The City of Muskegon is the applicant and
will be working collaboratively with each Municipality.
D. Funding and Private/Public Partnership:
a. Proposed sources of funding: The Community Foundation for Muskegon County has
committed $50,000 in funding for the project. Contributions of in kind contributions,
including project oversight and direction will be provided by the consortium group of
private and public entities listed in the application. The Lakeshore Museum of Art, The
Muskegon Arts Council, municipalities and vested stakeholders will provide in kind
support of the project. As a medium for community engagement and marketing, the
Lakeshore Arts Festival will provide a great deal of support for the engagement of
communities in the project for both 2015 and 2016 events.

In 1872, a ship was born from fire.
One year earlier, on Lake Michigan’s western shore, the great Chicago fire had raged, destroying
everything in its path. To rebuild its houses, stores, and offices, the city needed vast supplies of
lumber.
At that time, on the eastern shore, Muskegon was producing millions of board feet of pine
lumber, milled from the logs harvested in the inland forests and floated down rivers to the 47
sawmills that surrounded Muskegon Lake. Schooners ferried the lumber to Chicago, but there
weren’t enough ships to keep up with production.
So the keel of a new schooner was laid on Muskegon Lake’s shoreline. Her owners, Lyman
Mason and Charles Davis, proprietors of the Mason Lumber Company, named her Lyman M.
Davis. Norwegian and Swedish shipwrights built the ship of two-inch-thick oak planking, 123
feet in length and 27 feet wide, and erected two masts, each 114 feet from deck to tip. And in the
spring of 1873 the sleek fore-and-aft schooner joined the fleet, her hold and decks piled high
with 275,000 board feet of lumber, making as many as three round trips per week from the
Muskegon channel to the windy city.
The Mason lumberyards were producing an amazing 250,000 feet of pine lumber each 24-hour
day. So the Davis’s first skipper, Captain Fred Barnes, kept her busy hauling lumber. Soon she
earned the reputation as the fastest schooner ever to sail these inland seas, even beating the
steamer George C. Markham in a run across Lake Michigan in 1887.
The Lyman M. Davis was unusually graceful in appearance, a thoroughbred that looked more
like a yacht than a trader. She had accommodations for several passengers, and from time to
time she carried families and friends on blissful cruises to the Upper Peninsula.
As lumber production surged through the last decades of the 1800s, the Davis was commanded
by a series of men who respected her seakindliness and maintained her impeccably: Captains
H.M. Hansen, Ole Thompson, Harry Nelson, Hans Hermanson, and Chris Hermanson. One old
captain described her speed this way: “She was a witch to go to windward. . .” and unbeatable.
But in the 1890s as the once-magnificent pine forests of Michigan were disappearing, and steam
powered vessels began replacing the 1,000-plus Great Lakes schooner fleet, her then-owners
Thomas Munroe and William Brinen varied her cargoes and itineraries. She became a well-
known sight as her journeys expanded through the Lakes, her hullsides gleaming white, her
undersides deep green, signal flags atop her tall masts snapping smartly in the wind.
William Brinen, it was said, was in love with the ship. He insisted on keeping and maintaining
the Lyman M. Davis well into the new century, even though the age of the schooners was
waning. Both he and his beloved schooner were getting older, so he allowed the Graham
Brothers of Kincardine, Ontario, in the fall of 1912, to talk him into selling her. But then when
spring arrived, and the Canadian crew fitted her out and readied her for sail, Bill Brinen had a
change of heart. He couldn’t part with her.
On May 7, 1913, he left his office, climbed aboard his horse-drawn buggy, and drove to the
dock. There he confronted the new owners and pleaded with them to sell the Davis back to him,
plus five hundred dollars and the cost of the refit. But they refused. The sorrowful old man
turned his buggy around and went home. Later, as his lovely ship sailed out the Muskegon
channel for the last time toward a horizon that had flamed with setting suns for so many years,
William Brinen simply died.
For the next two decades, the Lyman M. Davis proudly served a series of owners and captains,
traversing routes to and from ports in Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, and Lake Ontario. Her
cargoes varied too, from lumber to barley to coal. Early in the 30s, she gained the reputation as
the last commercial schooner in commission on the Great Lakes.
In 1933, she was purchased by the owner of Sunnyside Amusement Park on the shoreline of
Toronto. After a winter’s stormy abuse at the dock, the Davis had sustained some, but not
irreparable, damage. Then her new owner conceived an appalling plan. He decided to burn her
as a money-making spectacle that would attract crowds to his park.
Toronto’s newspaper editors reacted in horror, prominent citizens railed against the plan, and
groups attempted to raise money to buy the old ship with plans to renovate her. Meanwhile,
back in Muskegon, the news of the sad plan prompted neighbors to start money-making efforts to
bring their grand old schooner back to her original home. But time and energy ran out.
On June 29, 1934, men boarded the Lyman M. Davis to carry out their grim task. They soaked
her decks with kerosene and filled her rigging with fireworks. As night descended, the doomed
ship was shamefully towed the length of Toronto’s waterfront. Then, as flaming torches were
thrown onto her decks, she was allowed to drift out into the lake. Fire leaped along her masts
and spars and raced along her rails. Hellish waves of flame rolled through her hull. Rockets
exploded, and her topsides paint bubbled from the heat. As midnight approached, the hull
burned down to the waterline, dynamite blew out her stern, and she sank.
The most famous, the fastest, and the most graceful of the Great Lakes schooners was executed
by fire, the same evil force that had spawned her birth, and she moaned, a great hissing, dying
sigh as her charred bones slipped beneath the surface.
Incredibly, the ship, some days later, gave up one last haunting sign. Her stern planking washed
up on the shore of nearby Hanlan’s Island. On it was her painted name: Lyman M. Davis. It was
as if she refused to die altogether, as her scorched timbers had drifted to the bottom, in 135 feet
of water, 1.2 miles offshore, where they still reside today, where scuba divers reverently visit
her, to lovingly hover around her, and remember.
So now, to commemorate that famed ship, a monument will be erected in downtown Muskegon.
It will be a tribute to the spirit of the Lyman M. Davis, the last of the Great Lakes schooners,
resurrected from the deep, returned like a ghost to the port of her birth, sails dancing like flames
in the wind, back home. . .at last.

RE: Farmers’ Market- Fifth Amendment to Purchase
Agreement
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City is waiting for the contractor’s lien period on the
Farmers’ Market to expire, so the property can be transferred from the DMDC to the
City free of any claims. This is taking longer than anticipated. Therefore, a Fifth
Amendment to the Purchase Agreement is recommended to extend the closing date.
The Amendment allows for continued operation of the Farmers’ Market prior to the
official closing on the property, with the City “fully responsible for any and all liability
related to operating the farmers’ market” during that time. The Closing is moved to
December 30, 2015 or before. Meanwhile, the City is working with the County
Assessor on alternatives to lower the taxable value on the property while it is in this
transition period.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the attached “Fifth Amendment to
Purchase Agreement” and authorize the City Manager’s signature.

Corporation, a Michigan non-profit corporation, with offices located at 425 W. Western, Muskegon,
Michigan 49442 (“DMDC”). City and DMDC, may each be referred to as a “Party” or collectively as
“Parties”.
Background
A. City and DMDC entered into a purchase agreement on August 13, 2013 (“Purchase
Agreement”) for certain Premises (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Premises are being sold
by DMDC to City for the purpose of operating a farmer’s market in downtown Muskegon.
B. The intent of the Purchase Agreement was to have a Closing (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) upon the completion of construction of certain elements and structures by DMDC. The
farmer’s market opened on May 3, 2014, however, the Parties were not be able to close prior to such date.
C. The Parties now desire to move the Closing to on or before December 30, 2015, or such
other date mutually agreed upon by the Parties. During the time period between May 3, 2014 and the
Closing, the Parties desire for the City to operate the farmer’s market on the Premises.
Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, and the mutual promises contained in this
Amendment, the Parties agree to amend Purchase Agreement as follows:
1. Closing. The Closing shall occur on or before December 30, 2015, or such other date
mutually agreed upon by the Parties.
2. Operations. From the date the farmer’s market opens on the Premises until Closing, the
City shall operate the farmer’s market (“Operations Period”). City shall have full use of the Premises
during the Operations Period.
3. Liability. During the Operations Period, City shall be fully responsible for any and all
liability on the Premises related to operating the farmer’s market. In addition, City shall include operating
the farmer’s market on its general liability insurance coverage. Notwithstanding the preceding, DMDC
shall be responsible for any liability on the Premises related to its actions, and the actions of its employees
or agents.
4. No Other Modification. Except as expressly modified by the terms of this Amendment,
the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict
between the Purchase Agreement and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern
and control.
The Parties have executed this Amendment as of the Effective Date.

RE: Neighbor-To-Neighbor Policy
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: A policy has been drafted to encourage our employees
to participate in volunteer activities by providing flexibility in work schedules, paid
leave opportunities, and bonuses for meeting certain community volunteering goals.
Employees will be encouraged to increase their involvement in the community by
mentoring youth, organizing food drives, helping neighborhoods, etc. The City
Manager will give final approval of events or organizations that qualify under this
program. A list of programs currently approved will be provided to employees but will
be added to and updated on a regular basis.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the policy as submitted and give
authorization to the City Manager to select qualified programs.
City of Muskegon
Neighbor-to-Neighbor
Community Outreach Program
The City recognizes the importance of community involvement, and encourages employees to
participate in volunteer activities by providing flexibility in work schedules, paid leave
opportunities, and bonuses for meeting certain community volunteering goals. The City also
recognizes the importance of acknowledging the community service activities of its employees.
The Neighbor to Neighbor program seeks to encourage community involvement while
adequately acknowledging the efforts and effects of our employees’ service to the Muskegon
community. This policy establishes guidelines for the administration of the Neighbor to
Neighbor program.
Program Goals:
In an effort to give back to the community that many of our employees call home, the City of
Muskegon has created the Neighbor to Neighbor Community Outreach Program. Through
Neighbor to Neighbor, Muskegon’s governmental employees have committed to increasing
their involvement in the community by organizing food drives, working in soup kitchens,
mentoring youth, helping to improve impoverished neighborhoods, and improve the quality of
life of our residents. Muskegon’s employees also volunteer their time as members of boards of
directors of nonprofit and non-governmental organizations, and lend their considerable
expertise and skills to community organizations as well.
This program mobilizes Muskegon employees and their families to serve as volunteers in the
Muskegon community. Implemented in 2014, the program offers Muskegon employees and
their family’s hands-on volunteer opportunities in Muskegon. This program is part of an
ongoing organization-wide effort to heighten awareness of our community’s needs, and
promote the importance of volunteerism community-wide.
Volunteer Incentives
1. Flex Time for Approved Community Service Activities
2. Community Service Paid Time Off for Approved Community Service Activities
3. Personal Bonuses for the Completion of Approved Community Service Activities
Flex Time for Approved Community Service Activities
The City will provide Flex Time for employees to participate in community service activities.
The ability to utilize flex time will be governed within departments by the Department Head.
Employees that wish to utilize flex time for a community service activity should follow the steps
as outlined below:
1. Identify the community service activity from the approved list found on the intranet.
2. If your community service activity is not on the approved list contact the City Manager’s
office to determine if the activity meets the goals of the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program.
3. Complete the Community Outreach Flex Time/Paid Time Off form on the intranet before
the pay period in which you plan to use the time. Your request will need to be approved
by your Supervisor, Department Head and the City Manager.
4. Department Heads should attempt to approve flex time at the time requested by the
employees, but have the discretion to disapprove the flex time if it will significantly
impact the City’s operations. The City may determine that it is not possible to release
certain employees under this policy due to staffing requirements.
Community Service Paid Time Off for Approved Community Service Activities
Community Service Paid Time Off allows full-time employees to take time off from work with
pay to volunteer services within the community. A maximum of 16 hours of paid leave per
calendar year will be made available to current full-time employees on January 1 of each year.
A maximum of 8 hours of paid leave per calendar year will be made available to current part-
time employees on January 1 of each year. This leave may be used only for providing
community service during an employee’s normal working hours as outlined in this policy, and
shall be taken in 2-hour increments. Paid leave is not granted for days that employees are not
scheduled to work.
Community service paid time off that is not used in a calendar year will not be carried forward
to the next calendar year. Employees will not receive payment for unused community service
leave upon separation from the City.
Employees that wish to utilize Community Service Paid Time Off for a community service
activity should follow the steps as outlined below:
1. Identify the community service activity from the approved list found on the intranet.
2. If your community service activity is not on the approved list contact the City Manager’s
office to determine if the activity meets the goals of the Neighbor-to Neighbor Program.
3. Complete the Community Outreach Flex Time/Paid Time Off form on the intranet before
the pay period in which you plan to use the time. Your request will need to be approved
by your Supervisor, Department Head and the City Manager.
4. Department Heads should attempt to approve the Paid Time Off at the time requested
by the employees, but have the discretion to disapprove the request if it will
significantly impact the City’s operations. The City may determine that it is not possible
to release certain employees under this policy due to staffing requirements.
5. With all the appropriate approvals, employees will report community service leave on the
appropriate time report for entry into the Payroll time keeping system.
Leave time taken under this policy will not be included in the calculation of weekly hours for
overtime for non-exempt staff.
Personal Bonuses for the Completion of Approved Community Service Activities
From year-to-year, bonuses may be authorized by the City Commission to encourage
participation in community service activities outside of normal business hours. Each January,
the City Commission will identify an amount between $500 and $1,000 to be used as an
incentive for community service activities. The amount of community service required to be
considered for the incentive payments shall be no less than 24 hours annually. The
corresponding levels of incentive pay and community service requirements in effect for each
calendar year will be displayed on the employee intranet by January 31 of each year.
Employees that wish to participate in the personal bonus program should follow the steps as
outlined below:
1. Identify the community service activities from the approved list found on the intranet.
2. If you community service activity is not on the approved list contact the City Manager’s
office to determine if the activity meets the goals of the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program.
3. Complete the activities.
4. Document the activities on the employee intranet.
Approved Activities:
Employees participating in community service activities under this policy are expected to
provide "hands-on" voluntary services that benefit Muskegon residents and community
organizations. The activity must have a direct benefit to Muskegon residents or community
organizations. For example, an employee could be granted community service leave to deliver
meals to the elderly; however, community service leave would not be appropriate to attend a
planning meeting or social event for the organization providing these services.
Excluded from this policy is service provided through a membership organization where the
primary recipients of the service are the constituents of the organization (i.e. painting and
maintenance of the groups building(s), yard work, serving on the board, etc.). Activities
involving political groups or causes do not qualify for use of this leave. Volunteer hours for
festivals or special events does not qualify.
Any community service time the employee utilized flex time or paid time off for is not eligible
service time towards the personal bonus.
Please note, volunteer hours must not be compensated by the approved group or organization.
If incentives are being offered, i.e. free concert tickets, passes to an event, etc. the employee
must list all incentives and seek prior approval from the City Manager. An employee may
accept a meal during volunteer hours, if offered, and will not require prior approval.
Reporting Community Service
Employees must report all community service activities on the Employee Intranet within 36
hours of the completion of the community service activity. Failure to report such activities may
result in the loss of an employee’s ability to participate in the Neighbor to Neighbor Program.
