      D. Restructure Fisherman's Landing Loan Terms. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: In 2004-05 the City agreed to loan to Fisherman's
Landing, Inc. $150,000 as matching funds for a state grant. The funds were used
to construct a new restroom/shower/laundry facility at the site. Terms of the
loan called for repayment in 15 equal principal payments at an annual interest
rate of 7%. Subsequent to this loan, the City issued bonds for the new fire station
and recreation projects (including reimbursement of funds loaned to
Fisherman's Landing). The City's net interest cost for the bonds is 4.15%. Staff
proposes reducing the interest rate on the remaining balance of the loan to the
City's actual borrowing cost.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will receive $21,854 less interest from Fisherman's
Landing over the remaining life of the loan. However, these funds will go
towards maintenance and improvements at the City-owned facility. The

(including paying peak-season electric bills and mowing) under the new
operating agreement. These activities save the City considerable money and
staff time.

Section 1500, #9, of Article XV, I-2, General Industrial Districts to remove the reference to Section
2308 (I) (f).


BACKGROUND
Staff recently discovered that these sections of the ordinance have references to what was
formerly the sign ordinance section of the ordinance. The section being referred to, Section 2308
(I) (f), was a reference to real estate and "For Sale" signs that was replaced with Section 2334,
Signs, #5, Exempt Signs, when the entire sign ordinance was updated and amended in AugtL~t
1998 . The change to the ordinance at that time actually made the sign ordinance less restrictive.
Section 2308 currently is the "Outdoor Seating" section of the ordinance that was adopted by
City Commission in March 2007, therefore the reference to that section needs to be removed
from Sections 1301, 1400 and 1500.

NEW LANGUAGE
Deletions are erossed out and additions are in bold:

Section 1301, #14

.J+.-   Non accessory signs provided that the signs conform to section 2308 ( I) (I) of this Code.

Section 1400, # 13

13.     Non aeeessory signs prnvided that the signs confunn to section 2308 (1) (I) of this Code.

Section 1500, #9

9.      Non accessory signs previded that the signs conform to seetion 2308 (I) of this Code.

DELIBERATION
I move that the amendments to Section 130 I,# 14 of Article Xlll, B-4, General Business Districts,
Section 1400, #13 pf Article XIV, I-1, Light Industrial Districts, and Section 1500, #9, of Article XV,
1-2, General Industrial Districts, of the City of Muskegon Zoning Ordinance to remove the reference
to Section 2308 (I) (f), be recommended to the Ci Ly Commission for (approval/denial).

RE:       Restructure Fisherman's Landing Loan Terms



SUMMARY OF REQUEST: In 2004-05 the City agreed to loan to Fisherman's
Landing, Inc. $150,000 as matching funds for a state grant. The funds were used to
construct a new restroom/shower/laundry facility at the site. Terms of the loan called
for repayment in 15 equal principal payments at an annual interest rate of 7%.
Subsequent to this loan, the City issued bonds for the new fire station and recreation
projects (including reimbursement of funds loaned to Fisherman's Landing). The
City's net interest cost for the bonds is 4.15%. Staff proposes reducing the interest
rate on the remaining balance of the loan to the City's actual borrowing cost

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will receive $21,854 less interest from
Fisherman's Landing over the remaining life of the loan. However, these funds will
go towards maintenance and improvements at the City-owned facility.           The
Fisherman's Landing group has taken on significant new responsibilities (including
paying peak-season electric bills and mowing) under the new operating agreement.
These activities save the City considerable money and staff time.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the restructuring of the loan to
Fisherman's Landing reducing the interest rate from 7% to 4.15%.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None.

Section 3.    PROJECT FUNDING, BILLINGS, AND PAYMENTS

       The DEPARTMENT will loan the RECIPIENT $320,000. The RECIPIENT will pay
       interest at the rate of 4 percent annually. The loan funds will be used only for the
       PROJECT. The DEPARTMENT will retain the loan funds and make payments to
       PROJECT contractors and subcontractors on the RECIPIENT's behalf. The RECIPIENT
       directs the DEPARTMENT to convert federal advanced construction funds as soon as

       pay principal on the loan, and the DEPARTMENT will invoice the RECIPIENT annually
       for the actual amount of interest. The invoiced amounts will be due and payable within

       DEPARTMENT will immediately notify the RECIPIENT of such default and of the
       amount thereof, and if such default is not corrected by payment within ten (10) days, the
       DEPARTMENT is then authorized and directed to withhold from the first of such monies
       thereafter allocated by law to the RECIPIENT from the Michigan Transportation Fund,
       but only after sufficient money has been returned to the county road commission, city, or
       village to provide for the payment of contractual obligations incurred or to be incurred
       and principal and interest on notes or bonds issued or to be issued under 1941 PA 205,
       1943 PA 143, 1952 PA 175, or Section 18c or 18d of 1951 PA 51, sufficient monies to
       remove the default and to credit the RECIPIENT with payment thereof and to notify the
       RECIPIENT in writing of such fact.

       The RECIPIENT agrees that the costs reported to the DEPARTMENT for this
       CONTRACT will represent only those items that are properly chargeable in accordance
       with this CONTRACT. The RECIPIENT also certifies that it has read the CONTRACT
       terms and has made itself aware of the applicable laws, regulations, and terms of this
       CONTRACT that apply to the reporting of costs incurred under the tenns of this

       damages.

In connection with the performance of work under this contract; the contractor agrees as follows:

I.      In accordance with Act No. 453, Public Acts of 1976, the contractor hereby agrees not to discriminate against an
        employee or applicant for employment with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, or
        as a matter directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex,
        height, weight, or marital status. Further, in accordance with Act No. 220, Public Acts of 1976 as amended by Act No.
        478, Public Acts of 1980 the contractor hereby agrees not to discriminate against an employee or applicant for
        employment with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, or a matter directly or
        indirectly related to employment, because of a disability that is unrelated to the individual's ability to perform the
        duties of a particular job or position. A breach of the above covenants shall be regarded as a material breach of this
        contract.

2.      The contractor hereby agrees that any and all subcontracts to this contract, whereby a portion of the work set forth in
        this contract is to be performed, shall contain a covenant the same as hereinabove set forth in Section 1 of this
        Appendix.

3.      The contractor will take affirmative action to insure that applicants for employment and employees are treated
        without regard to their race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status or a disability that
        is unrelated to the individual's ability to perform the duties of a particular job or position. Such action shall include,
        but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment advertising; layoff or
        termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship.

        that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national
        origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status or disability that is unrelated to the individual's ability to perform the
        duties of a particular job or position.

S.      The contractor or his collective bargaining representative will send to each labor union or representative of workers
        with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice advising the said
        labor union or workers' representative of the contractor's commitments under this appendix.

6.      The contractor will comply with all relevant published rules, regulations, directives, and orders of the Michigan Civil
        Rights Commission which may be in effect prior to the taking of bids for any individual state project.

7.      The contractor will furnish and file compliance reports within such time and upon such forms as provided by the
        Michigan Civil Rights Commission, said forms may also elicit information as to the practices, policies, program, and
        employment statistics of each subcontractor as well as the contractor himself, and said contractor will permit access to
        his hooks, records, and accounts by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission and/or its agent, for purposes of
        investigation to ascertain compliance with this contract and relevant with rules, regulations, and orders of the
        Michigan Civil Rights Commission.

8.      In the event that the Civil Rights Commission finds, after a hearing held pursuant to its rules, that a contractor has
        not complied with the contractual obligations under this agreement, the Civil Rights Commission may, as part of its
        order based upon such findings, certify said findings to the Administrative Board of the State of Michigan, which
        Administrative Board may order the cancellation of the contract found to have been violated and/or declare the
        contractor ineligible for future contracts with the state and its political and civil subdivisions, departments, and
        officers, and including the governing boards of institutions of higher education, until the contractor complies with said
        order of the Civil Rights Commission. Notice of said declaration of future ineligibility may be given to any or all of
        the persons with whom the contractor is declared ineligible to contract as a contracting party in future contracts. In
        any case before the Civil Rights Commission in which cancellation of an existing contract is a possibility, the
        contracting agency shall be notified of such possible remedy and shall be given the option by the Civil Rights
        Commission to participate in such proceedings.

9.      The contractor will include, or incorporate by reference, the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs (1) through (8) in

highway for the purposes of MCL 691.1402; MSA 3.996(102) rest with the REQUESTING
PARTY and other local agencies having respective jurisdiction.

        15.    The REQUESTING PARTY shall approve all of the plans and specifications to
be used on the PROJECT and shall be deemed to have approved all changes to the plans and
specifications when put into effect. It is agreed that ultimate responsibility and control over the
PROJECT rests with the REQUESTING PARTY and local agencies, as applicable.

        16.     The REQUESTING PARTY agrees that the costs reported to the DEPARTMENT
for this contract will represent only those items that are properly chargeable in accordance with
this contract. The REQUESTING PARTY also certifies that it has read the contract terms and
has made itself aware of the applicable laws, regulations, and terms of this contract that apply to
the reporting of costs incurred under the terms of this contract.

            finally disallow any items of questioned or no opinion expressed cost.

             The DEPARTMENT shall make its decision with regard to any Notice of Audit
             Results and RESPONSE within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of

            the DEPARTMENT on a repayment schedule within thirty (30) days after the
            date of an invoice from the DEPARTMENT. If the REQUESTING PARTY fails
            to repay the overpayment or reach agreement with the DEPARTMENT on a
            repayment schedule within the thirty (30) day period, the REQUESTING PARTY
            agrees that the DEPARTMENT shall deduct all or a portion of the overpayment
            from any funds then or thereafter payable by the DEPARTMENT to the
            REQUESTING PARTY under this contract or any other agreement, or payable to

           assessment of interest will begin thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.
           The rate of interest will be based on the Michigan Department of Treasury
           common cash funds interest earnings. The rate of interest will be reviewed
           annually by the DEPARTMENT and adjusted as necessary based on the Michigan
           Department of Treasury common cash funds interest earnings.                    The
           REQUESTING PARTY expressly consents to this withholding or offsetting of
           funds under those circumstances, reserving the right to file a lawsuit in the Com1
           of Claims to contest the DEPARTMENT'S decision only as to any item of

                                    MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION


  A          Upon completion of construction of each part of the PROJECT, at no cost to the
             DEPARTMENT or the PROJECT, each of the parties hereto, within their respective
             jurisdictions, will make the following provisions for the maintenance and operation of the
             completed PROJECT:

             1.     All Projects:

                    Properly maintain and operate each part of the project, making ample provisions each
                    year for the performance of such maintenance work as may be required, except as
                    qualified in paragraph 2b of this section.

         2.         Projects Financed in Part with Federal Monies:

                    a.     Sign and mark each part of the PROJECT, in accordance with the current
                           Michigan Manual of Uniform Traffic control Devices, and will not install, or
                           permit to be installed, any signs, signals or markings not in conformance with
                           the standards approved by the FHWA, pursuant to 23 USC 109(d).

                   b.      Remove, prior to completion of the PROJECT, all encroachments from the
                           roadway right-of-way within the limits of each part of the PROJECT.

                          With respect to new or existing utility installations within the right-of-way
                          of Federal Aid projects and pursuant to FAPG (23 CFR 645B): Occupancy
                          of non-limited access right-of-way may be allowed based on consideration for
                          traffic safety and necessary preservation of roadside space and aesthetic
                          quality. Longitudinal occupancy of non-limited access right-of-way by
                          private lines will require a finding of significant economic hardship, the
                          unavailability of practicable alternatives or other extenuating circumstances.

                   C.     Cause to be enacted, maintained and enforced, ordinances and regulations for
                          proper traffic operations in accordance with the plans of the PROJECT.

                   d.     Make no changes to ordinances or regulations enacted, or traffic controls
                          installed in conjunction with the PROJECT work without prior review by the
                          DEPARTMENT and approval of the FHWA, ifrequired.




03- I 5-93                                         13
 B.        On projects for the removal of roadside obstacles, the parties, upon completion of
           construction of each part of the PROJECT, at no cost to the PROJECT or the
           DEPARTMENT, will, within their respective jurisdictions, take such action as is necessary
           to assure that the roadway right-of-way, cleared as the PROJECT, will be maintained free
           of such obstacles.

 C.        On projects for the construction of bikeways, the parties will enact no ordinances or
           regulations prohibiting the use of bicycles on the facility hereinbefore described as the
           PROJECT, and will amend any existing restrictive ordinances in this regard so as to allow
           use of this facility by bicycles. No motorized vehicles shall be permitted on such bikeways
           or walkways constructed as the PROJECT except those for maintenance purposes.

 D.    Failure of the parties hereto to fulfill their respective responsibilities as outlined herein may
       disqualify that party from future Federal-aid participation in projects on roads or streets for
       which it has maintenance responsibility. Federal Aid may be withheld until such time as
       deficiencies in regulations have been corrected, and the improvements constructed as the
       PROJECT are brought to a satisfactory condition of maintenance.

              TO BE INCLUDED IN ALL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
                  AGREEMENTS WITH LOCAL AGENCIES

               Assurance that Recipients and Contractors Must Make
                (Excerpts from US DOT Regulation 49 CFR 26.13)


A.   Each financial assistance agreement signed with a DOT operating administration (or
     a primary recipient) must include the following assurance:

           The recipient shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
           national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any US
           DOT-assisted contract or in the administration of its DBE
           program or the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26. The recipient
           shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part
           26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration
           of US DOT-assisted contracts. The recipient's DBE program, as
           required by 49 CFR Part 26 and as approved by US DOT, is
           incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of
           this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its
           terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon
           notification to the recipient of its failure to carry out its approved
           program, the department may impose sanctions as provided for
           under Part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for
           enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud
           Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.).

B.   Each contract MDOT signs with a contractor (and each subcontract the prime
     contractor signs with a subcontractor) must include the following assurance:

           The contractor, sub recipient or subcontractor shall not
           discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in
           the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out
           applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and
           administration of US DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the
           contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach
           of this contract, which may result in the termination of this
           contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems
           appropriate.

                                   See Exhibit A attached to this resolution


RECITALS:

I.   A hearing has been held on January 22, 2008 at 5:30 o'clock p.m. at the City Commission
     Chambers. Notice was given by mail and publication as required by law.

2.   That estimates of costs of the project, a feasibility report and valuation and benefit information are on file
     with the City and have been reviewed for this hearing.

3.   At the hearing held January 22, 2008, there were 2 6 • 1 % objections by the owners of the property in the

FINDINGS:

I.   The City Commission has examined the estimates of cost to construct the project including all assessable
     expenses and determines them to be reasonable.                  ·

2.   The City Commission has considered the value of the property to be assessed and the value of the benefit to
     be received by each property proposed to be assessed in the district after the improvements have been
     made. The City Commission determines that the assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the
     value of the properties to be assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the

     estimates of costs, and directs the City Engineer to proceed with project design, preparation of
     specifications and the bidding process. If appropriate and if bonds are to be sold for the purposes of
     financing the improvements, the Finance Department shall prepare plans for financing including
     submission of application to the Michigan Department of Treasury and the beginning of bond proceedings.
3.     The City Commission hereby appoints a Board of Assessors consisting of City Commissioners
           Shepherd                          and       Gawron                   and the City Assessor who are
       hereby directed to prepare an assessment roll. Assessments shall be made upon front foot basis.

4.     Based on the City's Special Assessment policy and preliminary estimates it is expected that approximately
       20% of the cost of the street improvement will be paid by special assessments.

5.     Upon submission of the special assessment roll, the City staff is hereby directed to notify all owners and
       persons interested in properties to be assessed of the hearing at which the City Commission will consider
       confirmation of the special assessment roll.

                                         SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS

IN AN EFFORT TOWARDS NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT, the Muskegon City Commission is proposing that
special assessment districts be created for the following projects:

                                PINE ST., APPLE AVE. TO WESTERN AVE.
                                                 AND
                           VINCENT DR./PARK DR., BARCLAY ST. TO NORTH END

The specific locations of the special assessment districts and the properties proposed to be assessed are:

                          All parcels abutting Pine St., from Apple Ave. to Western Ave.

                                                      And
                    All Parcels Abutting Vincent Dr./Park Dr., from Barclay St. to North End


The City Commission proposes that the City and property owners by means of special assessments will share the cost of
improvement. You may examine preliminary plans and cost estimates in the City Hall's Engineering Department
during regular business hours - between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. on weekdays, except holidays.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD IN THE MUSKEGON CITY COMMISSION
CHAMBERS ON JANUARY 22, 2008 AT 5:30 O'CLOCK P.M.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HA VE A RIGHT TO PROTEST YOUR ASSESSMENT EITHER IN
WRITING OR IN PERSON AT THE HEARING. IF THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT ROLL IS CONFIRMED (AT A
LATER HEARING) YOU WILL HAVE THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE ROLL'S
CONFIRMATION TO FILE A WRITTEN APPEAL WITH THE MICHIGAN STATE TAX TRIBUNAL.

assessment in writing at or before the hearing, the improvement shall not be made unless the City Commission
determines by affinnative vote of all its members that the safety or health of the public necessitates the
improvement.

                                         Apple Ave. to Western Ave.

The proposed reconstruction of Pine St., Apple Ave. to Western Ave., see attached special assessment district map,
was initiated by the City due to the conditions it is in. We feel that reconstruction is the most effective method
especially with the needs for other facilities which includes watermain, sewer main (including water & sewer
services), and storm sewer system.

A memorandum from the Assessor's office, which addresses appraisal and benefits to abutting properties, is
attached.

The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $450,000 with the length of the
project being approximately 1,995 lineal feet or 2,853 of assessable front footage. This translates into an estimated
improvement cost of$157 per assessable foot. However, based on the 2008 assessment figure for this type of
improvement, the assessment will not exceed $32.00 per assessable foot.

         P. Don Aley
                          In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment
            District 7    district entailing the reconstruction of Pine Street from Apple Avenue to Western
  Charles L. Buzzell
                          Avenue (Project# H-1612). The purpose of this analysis is to document the
           District 2     reasonableness of this special assessment district by identifying and quantifying any
                          accrued benefits, It is subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat,
         Lew Collins
           District 6     taxation, police power and eminent domain. The effective date is January 4, 2008.
    Marvin   R. Engle     The proposed special assessment district encompasses primarily commercial
             District 5   properties. The City of Muskegon's Engineering Department has provided all frontage
               BillGill   estimates in accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy and all project-
             District 8   related costs. The total project cost is estimated to be $325,000. The amount of
  Kenneth Mahoney         money to be spread to the 35 property owners has been estimated at $91,296.00 or
          District 1      28.1 % of the total costs. The proposed front foot rated to be spread is $32.00. The
 Louis A. McMurray
                          City's Engineering Department is solely responsible for these figures.
           District 9
                          In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts as provided by the
     Robert Scolnik       City justly and reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties
        District 11
                          encompassed by this project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated
    Roger C. Wade         value enhancement and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in
        District 10       property values due to an improved quality oflife created by the proposed project.
                          Simply stated, the front foot rate of $32. 00 to be spread over an assessable footage of
                          2853. 00 for the reconstruction of the above mentioned project area appears reasonable
                          and equitable based upon the data presented by the City of Muskegon Engineering
                          Department, and on supporting office records.

The City of Muskegon is asking for your support for improvement of the street adjoining your property
located at «PropAddressCombined».                                           ·

The City of Muskegon believes that by making the proposed street improvements you will have less road
noise, dust, and wear and tear on your vehicle. In addition, street improvements provide easier access
for delivery of services such as snow plowing, mail delivery, and bus service.

Called a special assessment district, the largest percentage of the proposed street improvement will be
paid for by the City of Muskegon (via local funds and or grants); however, it will be necessary for you to
cover a share of the cost (which you can spread over a period of ten years) based on the amount of
property you own bordering the street. A description of the project, including the asso.ciated cost to you
and the City, is located in the documents attached to this letter.

While the City of Muskegon believes that the proposed improvements will result in a safer and cleaner
street while adding curb appeal to your property, you do have the right to ask further questions or protest
participation in this particular project. Please carefully review the enclos.ed materials and call the City's
Engineering Department at 724-6707 if you require more information.

A public hearing is also scheduled for this project on 1/22/2008. If you attend this public hearing you will
be given an opportunity to make comments on the proposed special assessment district to the
commission.

Also located in this packet of materials is a Special Assessment Hearing Response Card. If mailed back
to the City of Muskegon City Clerk's Office before the scheduled public hearing your vote will be added
to the tabulation of votes during the public hearing. If you do not send in this .form your vote counts as "in
favor" of the project.

Thank you for your participation in improving the quality of life in the Muskegon community.

Dear Resident:
The City of Muskegon has selected your neighborhood and your property for its comprehensive sidewalk replacement
program. City ordinances require that property owners be responsible for the repair/replacement of damaged or unsafe
sidewalks adjoining their properties. To assist homeowners, who may have difficulty paying the cost of sidewalk
repairs, the City offers assessment waivers through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for
eligible households and families. If you meet the CDBG program qualifications, the City may pay the street assessment
for you to the extent that funds are available.
Application Requirements:
 ✓   Applicants must submit proof that their total household income does not exceed 65% of Area Median
     Income (see chart below); Proof of income may include copies of Wage & Tax Statement (W-2's) from the year
     2007, pension or other benefit checks, bank statements for direct deposits or agency statements for all household
     income.
