MOTION PASSES
2007-91 NEW BUSINESS:
A. MERS Health Care Savings Program Enabling Resolution. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The resolution authorizes the city to participate in the
MERS Health Care Savings Program (HCSP). HCSP is a program that allows
employees to set aside funds in a tax-favored account to use for post-
employment medical purposes. Funds are contributed to individual employee
accounts before tax withholding and are not taxed at time of withdrawal if used
for eligible medical purposes.
The city benefits from adopting HCSP in two ways.
• Wages allocated to the HCSP are exempt from FICA/Medicare
taxes for both employee and employer. Thus for every $100 in
salary directed to HCSP, the city (and employee) each save $7.65
in FICA/Medicare taxes that would otherwise be paid.
• The program establishes an efficient means for employees to fund
their own retiree healthcare expenses. The city provides basic
retiree healthcare coverage, but there are many areas not
covered. As it is unlikely the city will be extending this coverage, the
HCSP is a good tool to help employees save to meet future
healthcare needs.
At this time we are recommending that the resolution be adopted so that the
program is ready for use in the future. The first actual use would likely be for non-
union employees as part of the 2008 salary and benefit changes (considered by
the Commission in December). Some unions have expressed interest as well
and we would like to have the program available for discussion in negotiations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Potential FICA/Medicare savings to the City.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. The program entails no direct costs to the
City (other than minor administrative costs) but may result in significant
FICA/Medicare tax savings, depending on the extent to which it is adopted by
employee groups.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
Motion by Vice Mayor Gawron, second by Commissioner Shepherd to authorize
the City to participate in the MERS Health Care Savings Program.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Wierengo, Wisneski, Carter, Gawron, Shepherd, Spataro, and
Warmington

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
Motion by Commissioner Carter, second by Commissioner Wierengo to appoint
Commissioner Shepherd to be the voting delegate at the National League of
Cities Annual Business Meeting.

REGULAR MEETING
October 11, 2007
Hearing; Case 2007-38: Staff initiated request to rescind the vacation of the unimproved
portion of Frisbee Street, south of Palmer and west ofMcGraft Church.
BACKGROUND
This street vacation request was originally recommended by Planning Commission for approval
in February 2006, and City Commission approved it later that month. As you may recall, streets
that are located within 80 feet of a body of water may only be vacated by the circuit court. With
that mind, one condition of the City Commission approval was that it did "not become final and
binding on the City until there has been full compliance with state law, including an appropriate
circuit court order". It was determined by the Attorney General that there must be access to
McGraft Park in order for the consent judgment to be approved. Therefore, this vacation needs
to be rescinded and another request with only the east 33 feet of Frisbee Street will be addressed
in the next case.
Staff has received no public comments on this request.

CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
October 11, 2007
Hearing; Case 2007-39: Request to vacate Frisbee Street, between Block 531 and Block 532, by
Ralph VanRiper, McGraft Church.
BACKGROUND
The applicant is McGraft Church. Their property abuts the platted but undeveloped portion of Frisbie
Street. The church has preliminary plans to build a "Family Life Center Building", however their
present property isn't large enough to accommodate the size building they would like. They initially
approached the City through the Leisure Services Department to obtain a lease for a portion of
McGraft Park property adjacent to their property for construction of their building. However, since
McGraft Park is a "Charter Park" this is not a possibility.
This street vacation is not your ordinary street vacation request. Streets that are located within
approximately 80 feet of a body of water may only be vacated by the circuit court. According to the
Subdivision Control Act, Section 560.256:
Land in a subdivision dedicated to the use ofthe public for purposes other than pedestrian or
vehicular travel, or land dedicated for a public way which is under the jurisdiction ofa
municipality, a portion ofwhich public way is within 25 meters ofa lake or the general course of
a stream, shall not be revised, altered, or vacated except by order ofthe circuit court in the county
in which the land is situated "
Since the church needs the additional 33 feet of this street for their addition, which would become
church property if Frisbie Street is vacated, they are willing to pursue the final vacation in circuit
court. In order for them to move forward with this action, approval of the vacation must be granted by
City Commission. Therefore, McGraft Church is requesting the vacation of the east 33 feet of Frisbee
Street only.
Engineering, Fire and DPW have no issues with the proposed vacation. The church has requested that
no utility rights be retained, since they need to locate a portion of their building on the additional
property. There are no city utilities located in the platted street right-of-way, and staff has had no
response from other utilities that were notified of this request. The church accesses their utilities from
the developed portion of Frisbie and Roilson Streets.

Date: October 23, 2007
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Finance Director
RE: MERS Health Care Savings Program Enabling Resolution
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The attached resolution authorizes the city to participate in the
MERS Health Care Savings Program (HCSP). HCSP is a program that allows employees to set aside
funds in a tax-favored account to use for post-employment medical purposes. Funds are contributed to
individual employee accounts before tax withholding and are not taxed at time of withdrawal if used for
eligible medical purposes.
The city benefits from adopting HCSP in two ways:
• Wages allocated to the HCSP are exempt from FICA/Medicare taxes for both employee and
employer. Thus for every $100 in salary directed to HCSP, the city (and employee) each save
$7.65 in FICA/Medicare taxes that would otherwise be paid.
• The program establishes an efficient means for employees to fund their own retiree healthcare
expenses. The city provides basic retiree healthcare coverage, but there are many areas not
covered. As it is unlikely the city will be extending this coverage, the HCSP is a good tool to help
employees save to meet future healthcare needs.
At this time we are recommending that the resolution be adopted so that the program is ready for use in
the future. The first actual use would likely be for non-union employees as part of the 2008 salary and
benefit changes (considered by the Commission in December). Some unions have expressed interest
as well and we would like to have the program available for discussion in negotiations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Potential FICA/Medicare savings to the city.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. The program entails no direct costs to the city (other
than minor administrative costs) but may result in significant FICA/Medicare tax savings, depending on
the extent to which it is adopted by employee groups.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None.
Investments
Assets in the Health Care Savings Program are invested in the MERS Total Market Fund. For up-to-date

("Board") to. establish additional programs including but not limited to defined benefit and
defined contribution program (MERS Plan Document Section 36(2)(a)); MCL 38.1536(2)(a));
WHEREAS, the Board has authorized MERS' establishment of the health care savings
program ("HCSP" or "Program"), which a participating municipality or court, or another eligible
public employer that is a political subdivision of the State which constitutes a "municipality"
under MERS Plan Document Section 2B(4); MCL 38.1502b(2) ("Eligible Employer"), may
adopt for its Eligible Employees;
WHEREAS, MERS has been detetmined by the Internal Revenue Service to be a tax-
qualified "governmental plan" and trust under section 40l(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, and all trust assets within MERS reserves are therefore exempt from taxation under Code
section 501(a) (IRS Letter of Favorable Determination dated June 15, 2005).
WHEREAS, the Board has established a governmental trust (the "Trust Fund") to hold
the assets of the HCSP, which Trust Fund shall be administered under the discretion of the Board
as fiduciary, directly by (or through a combination of) MERS or MERS' duly-appointed Program
Administrator;
WHEREAS, 1999 PA 149, the Public Employee Health Care Fund Investment Act,
MCL 38.1211 et seq. ("PA 149") provides for the creation by a public corporation of a public
employee health care fund, and its administration, investment, and management, in order to
accumulate funds to provide for the funding of health benefits for retirees and beneficiaries;
WHEREAS, a separate MERS health care trust fund created under PA 149 also
constitutes a governmental trust established by a public corporation ("municipality") as an
Eligible Employer, provided that all such employers shall be the State of Michigan, its political
subdivisions, and any public entity the income of which is excluded from gross income under
Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided further, that the PA 149 trust shall not
accept assets from any defined benefit health account established under Section 401(11) of the
Internal Revenue Code;
WHEREAS, the Board acts as investment fiduciary for the pooled assets of each MERS
participating municipality and court enrolled in MERS defined benefit programs, Health Care
Savings Program, the Retiree Health Funding Vehicle, and the Investment Services Pool
Program, on whose behalf MERS performs all plan administration and investment functions, and
such participating municipalities and courts have full membership, representation and voting
rights at the Annual Meeting as provided under Plan Section 45; MCL 38.1545.
WHEREAS, the Board also acts as investment fiduciary for those participating
employers who are non-MERS participating municipalities and courts that have adopted the

Re: Excessive Speed-Disregard for the Marquette Neighborhood.
Hillcrest Court: Excessive Speed
1. People are driving in excess of 45 mph in an area of less than ¼ mile
from Home Street to Lawrence Street.
2. We have a school bus that comes each morning approximately 7 :30A.M.,
to take a short cut to Wesley School, but there are no children along
Hillcrest or Lawrence Street that take the bus.
3. The entire area was poured in slabs and to hear these heavy vehicles is
literally tearing up the street, which wasn't designed for heavy vehicles,
nor heavy traffic.
4. Check Wesley avenue to see existing damage incurred by the existing
bus traffic.
Recommendation: Speed bumps to slow down the traffic.
Home Street: Excessive Speed- Going N01th and South.
1. Going South on Home Street to Apple Avenue, there are a number of
individuals that use Home Street from Marquette and Creston Avenue
who violate the law, when there are four signs posted that specifically
state that one should not make a left hand tum at Apple Avenue going
East. This is a constant violation, and the signs now posted are totally
ignored.
2.
2. Going North on Home Street from Apple Avenue to Hillcrest Court,
when you put your tum signal on for a left tum to Hillcrest Court, their
vehicles speeding and tail-gating, and blowing for you to get out of
their way while you're trying to make a left tum going West on Hill-
crest Court to my home.
Recommendation: Home street is less than ¼ miles, wasn't designed for
heavy traffic and strongly need speed bumps or enforcement of the existing
laws to enforce the speed and traffic weight for the existing slabs.
Creston Street: This street is used along with Roberts Street as a short cut to
Apple avenue from Marquette Street and beyond, this entire area was made
in slabs and wasn't designed for heavy vehicles nor excessive traffic and
speeding vehicles in a residential neighborhood.
Recommendations: Speed bumps to slow down the speed of traffic and
enforce the speed in a residential area, along with weight restrictions.
Apple Avenue East: Often times you cannot make a left hand tum to Home
Street, because people have you blocked going to the area of the Secretary
of State Office, Dollar store, ect. Many times there are people illegally
maldng a left hand tum going East on Apple Avenue from Home Street,
which prevent one from making the tum going North on Home Street.
This area need to monitored, before a serious accident occmTed.
Your attention will be gratiously appreciated:
