Memorandum
To: Mayor and Commissioners
From: Frank Peterson
Re: City Commission Meeting
Date: September 8, 2016
Here is a quick outline of the items on next week’s agenda:
1. We have a number of items on the Work Session:
a. A presentation from Dave Alexander on the Downtown BID. The BID’s one year
term is expiring at the end of 2016, and we are preparing for a one-year extension
with the same terms. We felt this was prudent given the BID’s late
implementation last year (only actually removing snow Feb-April). This will give
us a full winter to understand the BID’s benefits.
b. A presentation by Dakota Crow with the Boys and Girls Club.
c. Creation of SPECIAL PROJECTS COORDINATOR position. I would like the
Commission to consider the creation of a position that oversees, manages, and in
some cases even undertake certain construction projects throughout the city. We
have ongoing and planned projects at the LC and City Hall, as well as the likelihood
of some level of improvements/construction at PM Park, improvements to the
boardwalk at Kruse Park, improvements to the Farmers Market, and through CNS
(siding programs, rehab programs, etc.), and I feel that an in-house person will put
us in the best position to get the projects/improvements completed in the most
efficient (time and cost) manner possible. We have found the cost of construction
to be growing greatly, and we think this will allow us to better control those costs.
The initial projects that I expect this person to begin working on are the many
maintenance items that need addressing at the LC, as well as the distillery’s
construction. Additionally, if we decide to move forward with popup sheds or
shipping container conversions at PM Park, I would intend for this person to
manage and likely undertake that construction as well.
d. We will be asking the Commission to approve an NEZ for the Watermark project
on Tuesday, so we thought it should be added to Monday as well for more in depth
discussion. This project and the potential for tax incentives have caused some
condo owners as well as some local residents to call for the incentives to be
denied. As staff, we are cautioning against that action. There are many reasons
why, which I will explain below:
i. The project is a difficult and expensive undertaking. Without state and
local incentives, this project would not be feasible. Even in markets like
Grand Rapids – where rents are significantly higher than Muskegon – state
and local incentives are imperative to making a project work.
ii. If we want state incentives (Brownfield and CRP) to be applied to this
project, there will be a requirement that the local government put “skin in
the game.” In other words, the NEZ is going to be expected by the MEDC
just as much as it will be the developer.
iii. The taxes currently being paid at this property will continue. Only the new
growth will realize a tax savings. 920 Washington paid $46,000 in 2015
property taxes, and between 2012 and 2015 has paid nearly $135,000 in
property taxes. 965 West Western paid $13,000 in 2015 property taxes,
and between 2012 and 2015 has paid nearly $36,000 in property taxes.
These taxes will not be abated.
iv. As part of the Brownfield Plan, a development agreement will be created
that outlines timelines, etc. Inability to meet the timelines could result in
the revocation of the Brownfield as well as the NEZ certificate.
v. Absent the incentives, we can be confident that the development will not
occur. We may be successful in getting the buildings boarded up in that
instance, but forcing and completing a demolition would be highly unlikely.
e. Discussion on whether or not to pursue the LED Streetlight upgrade via special
assessment. I have had discussions with each of you on the pros and cons of the
implementation. It is my opinion that these types of improvements/investments
are essential to our city’s long-term fiscal health. I have reattached our estimates
that show a great long-term return on our investment of $18.00 per parcel per
year for 10 years. I believe that long-term, this has the potential to help solve the
fiscal strife we are predicting in the coming 5 year period. With this change, we
would only need to solve the MERS Pension Valuation issue to put us on a path of
what I would consider long-term stability. Given what we know the long-term
effects would be of making the LED conversion, it may even be possible to extend
the assessment to 15 or 20 years in order to lower the cost to residents. At 15
years, the assessment would be closer to $12.50 per year, and at 20 years, the
assessment would be closer to $9.50 per year. This would make the assessment
more affordable to some/most residents and extend the payment of the
improvement out longer. If that is what it takes to make this improvement a
reality, my recommendation would be to do so.
2. We will have a CRC Meeting following the Work Session.
3. Under the Tuesday consent agenda, we are asking the Commission for approval of the
following:
a. Last meeting’s minutes.
b. A request from Tempting Tables to fly Brest Cancer Awareness Ribbon Flags in certain
city locations.
c. Approval to make a supplemental payment to MERS in the amount of $206,831.82.
These additional funds will help close our unfunded accrued liability, but will not have
an effect on our budget because they were already expensed in 2015-16.
d. Approval of transfers from the General Fund to the Engineering Fund ($50,000),
Public Improvement Fund ($750,000) and Arena Fund ($250,000). These transfers
are all necessary to keep the funds from a deficit position. The funds transferred to
the Public Improvement Fund will be returned to the General Fund as the homes in
Midtown Square sell.
e. Approval of replacement of HVAC Condenser unit at the LC Walker Annex. This unit
has essentially failed. The unit is original to the building and very inefficient as well.
The recommendation is to award the Bid to Northside Heating and Cooling.
Northside does work on our fire stations as well, and we have a positive history with
them. In my opinion, this is just a precursor to additional major needs at the arena
– the cooling system is on its last leg, as were the ice chillers . . . and the recent rain
storms revealed many leaks in the roof. These will all be part of the likely bond
request later in 2016.
f. Creation of a NEZ at 316 Morris Street. This NEZ is being required by the MEDC in
support of their $450,000 CRP Grant to Terrace Plaza. Staff recommends approval,
as this will be our first new market rate apartment investment in downtown in many
years.
4. Under unfinished business we will have the second reading of the expansion of the ground
water ordinance. As per last meeting, there is a newly identified area of groundwater
contamination, which has been attributed to Exxon Mobil. Notices were sent to affected
property owners by their consultant (Groundwater and Environmental Services, Inc.),
notifying them of this hearing. Once the hearing is completed, the commission will be
asked to expand the current groundwater ordinance to include the newly identified
parcels. The ordinance greatly restricts the use of wells in the affected area.
5. Under new business, we will be asking the Commission to approve an NEZ for the
Watermark project. 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.

Commission Meeting Date: September 13, 2016
Date: September 6, 2016
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Finance
RE: Supplemental MERS Contribution
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: One of the most significant financial challenges
facing the city and many other governments across the nation is the issue of pension
funding. Relative to many other cities, Muskegon’s pension plans have historically
been considered well-funded. However, in recent years, due in part to lower than
expected investment returns and changes in actuarial assumptions, the funding
levels of the city’s pension plans have decreased. Paying down the city’s existing
pension legacy costs will present budget challenges for years to come.
For the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2016, staff conservatively budgeted for an
increase in pension costs. During the course of fiscal year 2015-16, an additional
$206,831.82 was expensed and accumulated for payment towards the city’s pension
costs. At this time staff believes it is appropriate to take this opportunity to make a
$206,831.82 supplemental payment (above the actuarial computed amount) to
MERS. This is money that the city would be required to pay to MERS eventually.
Paying early, while the city is in a position do so, makes time an ally (instead of an
enemy) and may help to ease some pressure on future city budgets.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: $206,831.82 supplemental payment to MERS.
$206,831.82 will be paid from monies already set aside for MERS in the collector
fund.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to make a supplemental
$206,831.82 payment to MERS no later than October 31, 2016.
Commission Meeting Date: September 13, 2016
Date: September 6, 2016
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Finance
RE: Transfers to Engineering, Public Improvement and Arena
Funds
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: During the close out of fiscal year 2015-16 and
based on the financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, staff
transferred $50,000 from the general fund to the engineering services fund to
eliminate a fund balance deficit in that fund. In addition, staff transferred $750,000
from the general fund to the public improvement fund to eliminate a fund balance
deficit in that fund and $250,000 to support the arena fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: $50,000 from the general fund to the engineering services
fund, $750,000 from the general fund to the public improvement fund, and $250,000
from the general fund to the arena fund.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Formal approval of the transfers from the
general fund to the engineering services fund, public improvement fund, and arena
fund, effective June 30, 2016.

RE: Request to Create a New Neighborhood Enterprise Zone District
at 316 Morris St
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Pursuant to Public Act 147 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1992, Hinman Lake, LLC has
requested to create a new Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) district for the parcel at 316
Morris St. Properties located in this NEZ district will be eligible to apply for NEZ certificates,
which will lower the residential property taxes for rehab construction. Notice letters were
sent to the taxing jurisdictions on July 1 and a public hearing was held on July 12. State law
requires that the resolution must be adopted at least 60 days after the notice letters were
sent. This project will include 19 condo units that will be located on the 6th and 7th floors of
the current building.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact at this point. However, being in a district will allow them to apply for a
rehab NEZ certificate, which will freeze the building at its pre-rehabilitated rate for 1 to 15
years.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the new NEZ district.

RE: Request to Create a New Neighborhood Enterprise Zone District
at 965 W Western Ave & 920 Washington Ave
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Pursuant to Public Act 147 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1992, P&G Holdings NY, LLC has
requested to create a new Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) district for the parcels at
965 W Western Ave and 920 Washington Ave. Properties located in this NEZ district will be
eligible to apply for NEZ certificates, which will lower the residential property taxes for rehab
construction. Notice letters were sent to the taxing jurisdictions on July 1 and a public
hearing was held on July 12. State law requires that the resolution must be adopted at least
60 days after the notice letters were sent. This project will include 120 new market rate
apartment units.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact at this point. However, being in a district will allow them to apply for a
rehab NEZ certificate, which will freeze the building at its pre-rehabilitated rate for 1 to 15
years.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the new NEZ district.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
None
