Memorandum
To: Mayor and Commissioners
From: Frank Peterson
Re: City Commission Meeting
Date: February 9, 2017
Here is a quick outline of the items on our agenda:
WORK SESSION
1. We will hear a presentation from a group of business and community leaders from the
Third Street Corridor. They would like to develop a brand specifically for their section of
downtown. It’s a great group of committed people, and I think we will all be excited with
the direction they are taking that corridor.
2. We will hear an update on the Greater Muskegon Recreation Partnership. Ken Johnson,
who acts as our liaison to the group, will be able to speak to the group’s proposed
direction.
3. Under other business, I’ll take a few moments to go over any questions/concerns that
Commissioners may have on the regular meeting agenda.
REGULAR MEETING
1. Under the consent agenda, we are asking the Commission for approval of the following:
a. Last meeting’s minutes.
b. Authorization of the City Clerk to apply for a Civic Center Liquor License for the
Muskegon Farmers Market. This license is similar to that which we have at the LC
Walker Arena, and will allow for special events that serve alcohol without having to
apply to the LCC and pay for each individual event. The cost is $600 per year.
c. We are proposing a new pedestrian crossing at Shoreline Drive and Third Street. The
crossing, which will be at ground-level, will better identify that areas as the
appropriate place to cross between downtown Muskegon and the lakeshore. The
goal is to improve safety at the crossing site.
d. Option extension for Port City Construction & Development Services related to our
property at 880 First Street. The developers continue to be very interested as they
work to secure financing, incentives, and tenants. We are encouraged by their
commitment. To assist with the initial marketing/visioning for the site, our DPW
crews have been clearing out the entire first floor, in an attempt to return it to a raw
and open floorplan. We also intend to remove a number of the cement tiles to help
open the first floor and demonstrate what the building would look like with a more
conventional façade. The work being done is also work that would likely be necessary
regardless of how we eventually move forward (development or demolition).
e. Approval of the DPW’s annual pavement marking program. This is a program that
we undertake each year – it’s a necessity.
f. Purchase of new floating docks for the Grand Trunk Boat Launch. These are being
purchased from the same West Michigan Company we purchased the docks from last
season.
g. Purchase of three fully-marked police vehicles. We originally intended to purchase
Chevrolet Caprice models, but due to a recent decision by the manufacturer to
discontinue these cruisers, we are recommending that we purchase Ford SUVs
instead. The SUVs have a number of advantages, including flexibility, utility, and all-
wheel drive. We have a number of these in our fleet now, and have been happy with
the vehicles in terms of maintenance needs.
h. Sale of a city-owned boat slip at Pigeon Key Marina. We have owned and leased this
slip for a number of years. We are recommending the sale in an effort to capitalize
on the increased value of the slip.
i. Approval of the non-union wage and benefit changes. There are a number of
changes related to the non-represented employees. Our non-represented employee
count is currently 39, including the city manager position. The recommended
changes will include a pension reduction, a 3% wage increase, realignment of certain
positions within the wage scale, and a number of tweaks to the fringe benefit
package. Much like the recent changes to the SEUI and POLC contracts, the goal is
cost reduction and flexibility for the city. Look for a cost comparison sheet to follow
later this week; we are finalizing the numbers.
j. Approval of CRC Recommendations for various city boards.
2. Under Public Hearings:
a. We will issue a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone certificate for the market-rate
portion of the Berkshire development at 275 West Clay. This project is very close
to coming to fruition, and the construction of a three story building in our
downtown will certainly be a welcomed activity.
3. Under new business, we will be asking the Commission to approve the following:
a. Sale of the City-owned home at 867 Williams Street.

RE: Pedestrian Crossing at Intersection of Shoreline
Drive and Third Street
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City of Muskegon Planning Department has
been consulting with TrafficScapes by Ennis-Flint for potential upgrades to
pedestrian crossings on Shoreline Drive in downtown Muskegon. Initially, three
locations (3rd, 4th, and 7th) were under consideration, but the City has decided to
move forward with one crossing at the Shoreline Drive – 3rd Street intersection.
The upgrades would include enhanced pavement markings using TrafficPatterns
stamped-brick treatment for the full length of the crossing. The enhanced crossing
would be similar in appearance to what was installed on Lakeshore Drive in
Lakeside, and downtown on W. Western, Muskegon, and Webster Avenues.
The Michigan Department of Transportation has agreed partner with the City on the
project with the objective of reviewing how the product performs at the Shoreline
Drive – 3rd Street crossing. The upgrades will be the first step in a long-term plan
coordinated with MDOT for improving pedestrian crossings along Shoreline Drive.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The final price for the work provided by the applicator is
$14,183.55. This price will include all prep-work such as cleaning and/or pressure
washing of the area, and existing line removal. $7,091.77 (50% of the total cost) will
come from the City of Muskegon’s street fund; the remaining $7,091.78 will be from
the MDOT contractual services fund.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to enter into a contract with
TrafficScapes by Ennis-Flint to install the TrafficPatterns product at the Shoreline
Drive – 3rd Street pedestrian crossing.
