RE: 2008 Suggestion Award Winner
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Employee Suggestion Award Committee requests that the 2008 Employee
Suggestion Award go to Public Works Customer Service Representative Terees

established.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The committee recommends honoring Public Works Customer Service Representative
Terees Williams with the 2008 Employee Suggestion Award.
(This is Terees’ second award. Terees continues to challenge herself by analyzing City
practices in comparison to other organizations’ known practices and coming up with
increased efficiency ideas for the City.)

2009-06 CONSENT AGENDA:
A. Approval of Minutes. CITY CLERK
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve minutes for the January 12th Commission
Worksession, and the January 13th Regular Commission Meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the minutes.
B. Trust Fund Grant Agreement for Smith-Ryerson Park. PLANNING &
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City had received the Development Project
Agreement from the State. The Mayor had signed the agreement and it was
submitted to the State. The State has requested that we supply an updated
resolution for the Smith-Ryerson Park Improvements approving the agreement
and that the City guarantee the matching fund amount of $158,400 (27%) of the
grant amount.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no impact for the 2009 budget year as this has
already been budgeted.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution approving the
Development Project Agreement for Smith-Ryerson Park Improvements and
guarantee the matching funds, and to have the Mayor and Clerk sign the
resolution.
C. Ammunition Purchase. PUBLIC SAFETY
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Director of Public Safety is requesting approval of
the purchase of ammunition for the 2009 calendar year. The request includes
both practice and duty ammunition.
Two vendors replied to our bid requests: Michigan Police Equipment, 6521
Lansing Road, Charlotte, MI; and CMP Distributors, 6539 Westland Way, Lansing,
MI. Based upon the bids that were received, CMP Distributors is being
recommended.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: Provided for in 2009 budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of this request.
D. Assessing Services Contract. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Since 1999 the City has contracted with the Muskegon
County Equalization Department for property tax assessing services. Providing
assessing services this manner avoids duplication of effort between the City and
the County and is more efficient than staffing our own assessing department.
For example, 1998 costs for supporting an in-house assessing operation were
$326,414. Inflating this figure at a conservative 4.5% annual rate to account for
employee wage and benefit growth results in an estimated 2009 cost for an in-
house operation of $529,722. The 2009 base year cost of the contract with the
County will be $459,300. The contract price is adjusted annually in accordance
with year-over-year changes in the City’s tax base.
The proposed contract term is three years with a two year extension possible;
the previous contract was for ten years. Other changes from the existing
contract mostly involve operational adjustments to better meet the needs of
City offices that utilize assessing data. Also, the contract provides for the
possibility that Equalization Department staff may be moved from City Hall to
enhance efficiency. However, this change requires discussion and formal
approval of the City Commission.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The base year cost of the contract is $459,300.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time. The contract cost is within
budget expectations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the contract.
E. New Cingular Wireless Amended Tower Lease Agreement. PUBLIC
WORKS
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC a Delaware
Corporation and the Department of Public Works have been in negotiations to
amend the 1998 lease agreement for the Nims Street and Marshall Street Water
Towers. The lease shall be amended to increase the current monthly rent, for
two sites, from $2,217 per month to $4,470 per month.
The amended lease will terminate the wireless phones and phone service
agreement (original value $1,170/month) previously provided to the City and will
allow New Cingular Wireless to install on each Water Tower up to a total of six
antennas.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Monthly rental will begin on March 1, 2009, at $4,470 per
month to be escalated at the rate of 3% per year annually. Revenue generated
from the rental of the Tower space shall be used to offset Water Tank
Maintenance Projects and purchase Wireless Phones and service.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Amended Lease Agreement and to
authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign.

MOTION PASSES
B. Request to Revoke the Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption
Certificate at 790 Terrace. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Promised Land Associates, 3355 Merriem Dr., Muskegon
Heights, was issued an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate
for the property located at 790 Terrace Street. The timeline to complete the
rehabilitation was one year, giving them until June 14, 2006, to do so. However,
a number of unforeseen problems occurred during this time, making the
applicant unable to complete the rehabilitation. The applicant then requested
a time extension in November, 2007, and was granted additional time to
complete the rehabilitation. The new deadline to finish the rehabilitation was
August 22, 2008. The case was brought back to Commission in November, 2008,
and another extension was granted, giving the certificate holder until January,
2009, to show the ability to complete the project. Total capital investment for
this project was stated to be $1,200,000 and was to include the addition of an
elevator and an additional stairway, along with upgrades to the structural,
mechanical, and electrical systems to meet current code requirements. To
date, none of these projects have been completed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To revoke the Obsolete Property Rehabilitation
Certificate.
Motion by Vice Mayor Gawron, second by Commissioner Carter to revoke the
Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate for 790 Terrace.

MOTION PASSES
NEW BUSINESS:
A. Proposed Water Bond Refunding. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The bond rating on the City’s water system was recently
upgraded by Standard & Poor’s from A- to AA-. This, combined with the current
interest rate environment, affords us the opportunity to refund two currently
outstanding water system debt issues and achieve significant interest savings. It
is proposed that $5,815,000 of Series 1999 and $925,000 of Series 1993 bonds be
refunded at this time. A recent analysis shows that these bonds can be
refunded at today’s lower interest rates with present value savings to the City of
$390,930. This equates to 5.80% of the outstanding principal, or $41,501 average
annual savings over the remaining life of the bonds. A general rule of thumb is
that PV savings should equal at least 2% of bond principal in order to proceed
with a refunding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the ordinance to initiate and authorize
the proposed bond refunding. A second commission action (sales resolution)
will be required to complete the transaction. If numbers change to the extent
the refunding no longer makes economic sense, the plug can be pulled at that
time.
Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Commissioner Carter to approve
the proposed water bond refunding by approving the ordinance to initiate and
authorize the proposed bond refunding.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Warmington, Wierengo, Wisneski, Carter, Gawron, Shepherd,
and Spataro
Nays: None

C. Commercial Redevelopment Tax Abatement Districts Policy.
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the Commercial Redevelopment Tax
Abatement Districts Policy for the City of Muskegon.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Qualified commercial rehabilitation and redevelopment
projects would be eligible for tax exemptions under Michigan Public Act 255 of
1978. The abatements would be available to restored, replacement and new
facilities in designated areas in the city. Restored and replacement facilities
would be able to freeze the property tax at its pre-rehabilitated value,
effectively allowing the rehabilitation to be property tax free, with the exception
of school operating taxes, for up to 12 years. New facilities would have their
millages cut in half, except state education tax, and levied against the current
taxable value of the building, for up to 12 years.

requires hard surface removal.
