Absent: Commissioner Wierengo.
Civil Infraction Fees.
Many zoning ordinance violations have occurred. Commissioner Spataro asked what avenues
can be taken to enforce the ordinance?
Currently the City issues civil infractions. The City Attorney will review the law to see if the
fees for civil infractions can be raised.
Public Safety Direction Discussion.
The City Commission discussed the position of the Public Safety Director with the resignation of
the current Public Safety Director, Tony Kleibecker.
It was decided that the City Manager should try to recruit candidates with experience in Policing,
Fire, and Inspections. It is understood these qualifications will limit the pool of candidates and
may take several months to hire a new director. In the meantime, interim candidates from within
the department(s) will be chosen to cover the position.
Proposed Encroachment Ordinance.
A proposed Encroachment Ordinance was presented to the City Commission for their
consideration. The proposed ordinance would allow staff to approve encroachments. Currently
the City Commission approves all encroachments. Any encroachments that may be denied by
staff can be appealed to the City Commission.
Under the proposed ordinance, all current encroachments will expire on August 31, 2011 and
will need to be renewed on an annual basis. This will ensure that all information is kept current
and a current certificate of insurance is on file. New proposed fees are $25 if an annual
inspection is not required and a $50 fee if an annual inspection is required.
Adjournment.

RE: Switchgear Upgrade Engineering Proposal
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Authorize staff to enter into agreement with Tetra-Tech to provide the
necessary engineering design, bidding assistance and start-up
construction assistance to replace the existing 1972 pump station
switchgear for $24,950 since they were the design engineer for the
entire facility back in 2004.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This upgrade was budgeted at $175,000 which includes engineering
services.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to enter into an engineering service agreement with
Tetra-Tech for $24,950 as per the attached proposal.
Date: July 11, 2011
To: DPW Director – Mohammed Al-Shatel
From: Water Filtration – Kevin Herbert
RE: 1972 Pump Station Switchgear Engineering
Services
The switchgear breakers outside the 1972 built high service pump station switches 2400
volt power between the 6 high service pumps is in need of an upgrade.
These breakers have been problematic and are unreliable due to their current age. As part
of the last major plant expansion, this switchgear was expanded to include a new main
secondary breaker, tie breaker, and generator main breaker as well as new motor starters
for high service pumps 1-6. The new starters were supplied with solid state protective
relaying. Due to cost constraints at that time, these breakers remained with the intent that
upgrades to these would be done at a later date. These breakers are approaching 40 years
of service.
Tetra-Tech was the engineering company that was involved in the plant upgrade project
in 2004 and was responsible for the design of the plants electrical distribution system as
well as the plant supervisory control and data acquisition systems. Gene Jones from
Tetra-Tech is intimately familiar with these systems and as the electrical engineer has
provided support and troubleshooting assistance to us at no cost for the last 7 years. Gene
has been an invaluable resource.
I recommend approval of the proposal from Tetra-Tech to provide engineering services
for the switchgear upgrade at a cost of $24,950.00.

Re: Muskegon Water Filtration Plant
Proposal for Professional Services
1972 Medium Voltage Switchgear Upgrade
Dear Mr. Herbert:
Pursuant to your request, we are pleased to provide the City of Muskegon a proposal for
engineering design, bidding assistance, and startup construction assistance services for upgrades
to the 1972 Switchgear, two high service pump feeder breakers, and associated protective relays,
as well as replacement of existing surge suppression units that have reached the end of their
useful life.
This proposal contains our understanding of the project requirements, proposed scope of
engineering services, and fee estimate.
STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
It is our understanding that the City would like replace the existing 4160-volt feeder breakers that
distribute power to high service pumps 1-3-5, and 2-4-6. These breakers have been problematic
and are unreliable due to their current age. As part of the last major plant expansion, this
switchgear was expanded to include a new main secondary breaker, tie breaker, and generator
main breaker as well as new motor starters for high service pumps 1-6. The new starters were
supplied with solid state protective relaying. Due to cost constraints at that time, these breakers
remained with the intent that upgrades to these would be done at a later date. These breakers are
approaching 40 years of service.
The design will include a discussion with plant staff on which of three alternatives to choose from
with respect to these two breakers. The three alternatives to review include:
1. Install new breakers in place of the existing breakers.
2. Install new breakers and associated enclosures at the end of the existing switchgear and
connect to the bus as required.
3. Install new fused feeder switches versus breakers at the end of the pad and connect to the
bus as required.
