construction costs; and,
3. monthly debt service payments in the amount of $2,071.74 ($24,861 /yr.)

RE: 2005 4th Quarter Suggestion Award Winner
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

a gain of the 20% commission fee for service when assisting plot owners resell their
grave sites, for income on approximately $1,400.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This amounts to approximately $8,400 annually in savings and revenue for the City.

None.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The committee recommends honoring Cemetery Customer Service Representative
Teresa Moore with the 2005 41h quarter Employee Suggestion Award.

Re: Construction of Clubroom Facility at LC Walker Arena - Update
Bids for construction of the LC Walker Arena clubroom were opened on Friday, June 23"'.
Although interest in the project was high and bidding was strong, results were disappointing,
with the low bid coming in .f\lllfth higher than the $300,000 project estimate:
Bidder Location Base Bid Equipment Total
Muskegon Quality Builders Muskegon $403,600 $28,123 $431,723
Clifford Buck Muskegon 418,000 27,898 445,898

Winberg Whitehall 457,400 Included 457,400
Triangle GR 462,000 Included 462,000
Muskegon Construction Muskegon 478,200 Included 478,200
For Total Project Cost Add: A & D (previously approved)-> 18,750
The primary sources for the cost discrepancy are higher than anticipated costs for: 1)
electrical to bring service to the required elevator, 2) HVAC costs, and 3) outfitting the food
preparation area.

From: Finance Director
RE: LC Walker Clubroom Facility
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Bids will be opened on Friday, June 23 "'for construction
of a clubroom facility at the LC Walker Arena. It should be noted that the window to construct
the facility before the start of next season is very tight so it is important that a decision not be
delayed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: If the Commission decides to proceed with the Clubroom, the
following financial impacts are anticipated:
1. annual management fee paid by the city to AMG under the new operations contract
decreases from $235,000 to $210,000;
2. a 15-year $300,000 (3% interest) interfund loan would be made from the Equipment
Fund to the LC Walker Arena fund to finance construction costs; and,
3. monthly debt service payments in the amount of $2,071.74 ($24,861/yr) would be
made to repay the interfund loan.
Additionally, of course, it is anticipated the project will financially strengthen the Walker Arena
and complement and enhance redevelopment of the downtown.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: The budget will be adjusted as described above
depending on the Commission's decision.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Provided construction bids are reasonably close to
estimates and allow the project to be completed within budget ($300,000), staff recommends
approval.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None.

Memo
To: City Commission
From: Finance Director
Date: June 20, 2006
Re: Construction of Clubroom Facility at LC Walker Arena
The City Commission previously authorized staff to engage an architect and solicit bids for
construction of a clubroom facility at the Western Avenue end of the LC Walker Arena. The
clubroom will seat 80-90 patrons and will be situated above the Western Avenue entrance
where the large windows are. On the interior, the clubroom will have large windows
providing overhead views of events on the Arena floor. Also, TVs will be utilized to help
attract arena patrons who might otherwise stay at home to watch a competing sports event.
Construction bids will be opened on Friday, June 23 "' and brought to the Commission on
Tuesday, June 27 1h.
Project Rationale
For many years the city has subsidized the LC Walker Arena. The subsidy (totaling more
than $3.0 million over the last 10 years) has not resulted in any revenue-generating
investment in the building; rather the money has simply gone to pay routine operating costs.
One of the challenges I have asked the arena manager to focus on is to come up with capital
investment ideas that stood a good chance of generating positive cashflow. The thinking is
to have some of the City's operating subsidy dollars shifted to capital investment that could
generate new, long-term operating revenues.
A second ice sheet was the first project seriously explored but this was determined to be too
costly (>$2.0 million) and risky with too many hurdles to overcome (property acquisition, etc.).
The "clubroom" idea was next explored and this concept appeared much more promising
based on successful ventures in other arenas and on the much lower estimated project cost
($300,000). The idea was eventually incorporated into the new arena management
agreement.
0:\FINANCE\PAUL\MyDocuments\AGENDAITEM 2006 LC Walker Clubroom.doc
Project Budget & Financing
The new management agreement provides fo r a fixed annual management fee of $235,000;
however, if the city constructs the clubroom facility, the annual fee is lowered to $210,000.
The $25,000 difference approximates the annual debt service required to finance the
$300,000 clubroom over 15 years. In essence, if the city decides to construct the facility,
$25,000 of the city's subsidy is shifted to a capital investment.
Originally it was anticipated that the $300,000 cost would be financed as part of the bond
issue for a new fire station. However, it was soon determined that doing so would severely
tie our hands with IRS regulations. (These are the same IRS rules we have worked hard to
extract ourselves from in negotiating a new incentive-based management agreement.)
Accordingly, we are proposing to finance the clubroom via an interfund loan from the city's
equipment fund (similar to the loan previously made for energy improvements at the arena).
Annual debt service is estimated to be $24,861 with monthly payments of $2,071.74.
Risk and Other Issues
Proceeding with this project clearly is not without risk to the city. The chief risk is that the city
will need to continue making debt payments regardless of what happens to the facility or
tenants. This risk is reduced over time and we have included a provision in the management
agreement that requires the arena manager to pay four years debt service if they do not
maintain a professional hockey franchise at the arena. Also, it is believed that
sponsorship/naming rights for the clubroom can be monetized to help defray debt service
costs.
Provided bids come in near our estimate, staff believes the risk entailed in this project is
reasonable. The clubroom will make the arena a more attractive and competitive venue
which will help both in retention of current tenants and in marketing to new tenants.
Another issue that has been raised is competition with private establishments in the area.
While this is a legitimate concern, staff believes the clubroom will generate new business for
the entire area, not just take traffic away from other establishments. Moreover, a healthy
arena is vital to the health of all the area establishments. Staff from AMG has met with
owners of the surrounding establishments to address their concerns.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Thank you.

CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
June 15, 2006
Hearing; Case 2006-19: Request for final Planned Unit Development approval for Phase I
(commercial, office and church) for 444 Irwin Avenue, by Douglas Mal ear, Hope Lighthouse
Church.
BACKGROUND
Applicant: Douglas Malear, Hope Lighthouse Church
Property Address/Location: 444 liwin A venue
Request: Final Planned Unit Development (PUD), Phase I
Present Land Use: Vacant former Fitzpatrick Electric
Zoning: I-1, Light Industrial
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1. The properties in question at 444 Irwin has received approval for a Preliminary PUD, (see
former case) from the Planning Commission. The applicant would like final approval on
certain portions of the building at this time, and will move forward in the future with other
additional phases as funding becomes available.
2. This phase of the development is for the church sanctuary, fellowship hall and classroom
space for Hope Lighthouse Church, as well as a retail space for a used merchandise sales
outlet.
3. The sanctuary is approximately 3,000 sq. ft, the fellowship hall is 3,015 sq. ft, and there
are 3 classrooms to be used for Sunday school. In addition there is a room for a nursery,
reception area, hallway and restrooms. The retail space is 2,536 sq. ft. This totals
approximately 11,150 sq. ft. on the first floor.
4. The second floor is already developed for and used by the previous owner for offices.
There is 12, 812 sq. ft. of usable office space, including 7 offices and a classroom that will
be utilized by the Church and the remaining office and meeting rooms will be leased,
probably to other non-profit organizations.
5. Staffhas the following comments regarding the site plan
a. A landscaping plan is included on this site plan. There are challenges because of
the existing building and paved areas, and it is almost impossible to meet the
landscape ordinance requirements, however by using the existing landscaping and
adding trees and shrubs wherever possible the site should be much more attractive.
It appears that some additional trees and shrubs or bushes could be added to the
green spaces along Irwin presently marked for top soil and seed or with grass. The
0:\Planning\COMMON\Zoning\City Commission ltems\PUDs\2006 PUDs\Case 2006-19 444 Irwin Phase II Final PUD.doc
applicant can work with staff on this issue and submit a revised landscaping plan if
Planning Commission agrees.
b. Parking spaces need to be defined with curb stops or rolled curbing.
c. All parking spaces must be striped. Minimum size for parking spaces is 8 x 18 ft.,
and must be indicated on the site plan. There are 105 parking spaces shown on the
site plan. Approximately 80 spaces would be needed, considering the fellowship
hall and church would be sharing approximately 30 spaces. This is adequate for
the present uses in the building, however, the applicant needs to be aware that
additional uses of the building may require additional parking or shared parking
agreements with other properties in the area.
d. Any additional lighting installed must be 100% cut-off.
e. Show snow storage areas, or indicate if snow will be removed from the
site.
f. Show location of any dumpster, along with screening that will be
provided.
g. Indicate fire lanes and location of frre lock box.
h. If any additional signage will be requested, indicate location. Sign permits
are required and must be approved prior to installation.
6. Staff has received no comments regarding this request.
