" ... the buyer, grantee, or other transferee of the property shall notify the appropriate assessing office in the local unit of
government in which the property is located of the transfer of ownership of the property within 45 days of the transfer of
ownership, on a form prescribed by the state tax commission that states the parties of the transfer, the date of the transfer,
the actual consideration for the transfer, and the property's parcel identification number or legal description."

Section 211.27(5)

" ... Beginning December 31, 1994, the purchase price paid in a transfer of property is not the presumptive true cash value of
the property transferred. In determining the tnue cash value of the transferred property, an assessing officer shall assess that
property using the same valuation method used to value all other property of that same classification in the assessing
jurisdiction."

 BACKGROUND

 Applicant:                                       City of Muskegon
 Property Address/Location:                       1561, 1567, 1575, 1587, 1593, 1597 and 1603 Peck
                                                  Street and 28 W. Forest Avenue
 Request:                                         Rezone from RM-1, Low Density Multiple-Family
                                                  Residential to R-1, One Family Residential
 Present Land Use:                                Residential
 Zoning:                                         RM-1, Low Density Multiple-Family Residential


 STAFF OBSERVATIONS

I.        The prope1iies in question are located on Peck Street in an area presently the focus of
          the latest Blight Fight effort by the City of Muskegon. The area is referred to as
          "Area 13" and included the lots previously rezoned on Terrace Street at the March
          City Commission meeting.
2.        Of the eight houses included in this request, all except 1575 Peck appear to be single
          family homes. The property at 1575 Peck is two-unit residential use.
3.        Properties to the east and south are RM-1. The properties to the north and west are
          zoned R-1.
4.        The 1997 Master Land Use Plan, in reference to this sub-area, states: "Maintain the
          sub-area's residential focus".
5.        The Master Plan's Future Land Use Map shows this area as residential.
6.        Randy Maid, owner of 1533 Peck, stopped in to the office to say he was very happy
          about the rezoning of this block.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone the subject properties from RM-1 to R-1
because the request conforms to the goals and recommendation of the City's 1997 Master
Plan.

DELIBERATION
Criteria-based questions typically asked during a rezoning include:

1.        What, if any, identifiable conditions related to the petition have changed which
          justify the petitioned change in zoning.

2.        What are the precedents and the possible effects of precedent that might result from
          the approval or denial of the petition?

3.        What is the impact of the amendment on the ability of the city to provide adequate
          public services and facilities and/or programs that might reasonably be required in
          the future if the petition is approved?

4.        Does the petitioned zoning change adversely affect the environmental conditions or
          value ofthe surrounding property?

5.        Does the petitioned zoning change generally comply with the adopted Future Land
          Use Plan of the City?

6.        Are there any significant negative environmental impacts which would reasonably
          occur if the petitioned zoning change and resulting allowed structures were built such
          as:

         a.        Surface water drainage problems
         b.        Waste water disposal problems
         c.        Adverse effect on surface or subsurface water quality

                                                        March 16,2006

         Hearin!!; Case 2006-13: Request to amend Section 2321, Article XXIII (General
         Provisions) of the Zoning Ordinance to amend the "Overlay District Established for
         Wireless Communication Support Facilities", by Sherri Andrews, Mandala, LLC.

         BACKGROUND

         A request has been received from Sherri Andrews, Mandala, LLC representing Verizon
         Wireless to amend the zoning ordinance to change one of the established wireless
         communication support facilities. This section of the ordinance was adopted in 1997 to
         provide for "appropriate areas for the siting of wireless communication antenna, support
         facilities and equipment shelters in recognition of the public need and demand for advanced
         telecommunication and information technologies and services balanced against the impacts
         such facilities may have on properties within the City." At that time, the overlay zones were
         established which created four sites. One of the sites is the City Department of Public Works
         building at 1350 E. Keating. The other three sites are Pulaski Lodge, 871 Pulaski Avenue,
         City property near the terminus of Yuba Street, and a portion of the Muskegon Community
         College campus.

         Recently Verizon has been looking for a site for a new tower and approached the City
         regarding locating on the DPW site. The Director of Public Works has concerns with the site
         for a large tower of this type (see enclosed memo from the Director). He feels the site is too
         small and would restrict the best usage ofDPW's property. The proposed new site at 2301
         Harvey Street is located very close to the present DPW site and would serve the same area that
         Verizon Wireless is attempting to improve their coverage on. The proposed site also is the
         location of several other utilities, including large Consumer's Energy towers, which already
         have at least one cellular antenna located on them. There would be no impact on any
         residential properties, since none are located in this area.

         Staff has received no comments regarding this case.

 Re:    Noxious Weed Ordinance Modifications for Leaves.



 Attached you will find suggested language changes to our Noxious Weed ordinance that
 would enable enforcement actions to be taken if an owner failed to properly clean up their
 leaves on a property. The ordinance only applies to properties with a principal structure and
 is in effect after the leaf season has ended. This language would enhance our efforts to
 eliminate the blighting impact of an unkempt home and yard. Additionally, decaying leaves
 around homes and buildings can be a health concern for the occupants. Decaying leaves
 not only contribute to elevated mold spore counts, but also provide an ideal environment for
 breeding mosquitoes around the home. With the health concerns in recent years regarding
 the West Nile Virus and its transmission by mosquitoes, it is even more important than ever
 to keep wet decaying leaves picked up near homes. Also included in the proposed language
 are allowances for environmentally friendly composting. The size of the composting
 operation would however be limited to a container or an area no greater than 16 square feet.
 This size would allow for the composting of leaves in a typical residential environment.

 The Leaf Season has been defined as being from September 1st. through April 30th. of each
 year. During this season, it would not be required of a property owner to pick up their
 leaves. Beginning on May 1st. enforcement action could begin and an inspector could send
 a violation notice requesting the yard be cleaned up within 14 days, if the property owner did
 not correct the problem in the specified time, we would then enter the property and remove
 the leaves. This overall timeframe should provide an adequate buffer for residents that
 spend winters out of state and return in the spring.

 As with any program there will be costs associated with it. Our current contractor agreement
 provides for raking leaves, so the current agreement would not need modification. Our
 contractor charges $36.00 per hour for this service but the differing conditions of each yard
 makes it difficult to estimate the costs the city will incur. Raking of yards is an arduous task
 with no real shortcuts, we can expect that the crew will have to rake the yards by hand.
 Once leaves have been raked they would have to be bagged for pick-up by the city's waste
 hauler. After performing the service, the city would bill the owner the costs plus an



                                                                                               2
administrative fee of $60.00. All too often these invoices remain unpaid and payment must
be pursued through collection methods with varying levels of success. Any of the invoices
remaining unpaid would be an added expense for the city to bear.

Due to the notification requirements of the noxious weed ordinance, we would not be able to
begin actual enforcement until the end of the next leaf season, which is April 30, 2007. In
the interim, we will need to modify our computer program to enable us to enforce this new
language. When the program modifications are complete, we could send information I
warning letters to properties that are not being properly maintained. The purpose of the
interim letter would be to encourage voluntary compliance and serve as notice that the rules
have changed and they now require the raking of leaves at the end of the next leaf season.

 Cross reference(s)--Definitions generally, § 1-2.

Sec. 98-35. Notice to destroy and remove; publication.
(a)    The city shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation in the city during the month of

       (1)    That noxious weeds, grass more than eight inches in height, dead bushes, dead
              trees and stumps and bushes and trees infested with dangerous insects or
              infectious diseases must be cut and removed from property during the growing

       (2)    That if the owner, agent or occupant refuses to destroy the noxious weeds, the
              city or its contractor may enter upon the land and destroy them and remove
              them.
       (3)    That any expense incurred in the destruction shall be paid by the owner of the
              land and the city shall have a lien against the land for the expense, to be
              enforced as provided by this article or in the manner of enforcement of tax liens.
        (4)       That any owner who refuses to destroy such material and remove it may be
                  subject to a civil infraction.
        (5)       That the city or its contractor may cut or remove the weeds as many times as is
                  necessary and charge the cost to the property owner. Uncovered costs may be
                  placed as a lien on the property and/or subject to collection proceedings.
(b)     Such notice shall state that, for failing to comply with the notice, the city, through its

        collected against the property in the same manner as general taxes.
(c)    Additional notice shall be provided as outlined and adopted by the city commission
       policy.

09/06/90 STP.FOR 4/19/06                      3
        8.      The performance of the entire PROJECT under this contract, whether Federally
funded or not, will be subject to the provisions and requirements of PART II that are applicable
to a Federally funded project.

        9.     The REQUESTING PARTY certifies that a) it is a person under 1995 PA 71 and
is not aware of and has no reason to believe that the property is a facility as defined in MSA
13A.20101(1)(1); b) the REQUESTING PARTY further certifies that it has completed the tasks
required by MCL 324.20126 (3)(h); MSA 13A.20126(3)(h); c) it conducted a visual inspection
of property within the existing right of way on which construction is to be performed to
determine if any hazardous substances were present; and at sites on which historically were
located businesses that involved hazardous substances, it performed a reasonable investigation to
determine whether hazardous substances exist. This reasonable investigation should include, at a
minimum, contact with local, state and federal environmental agencies to determine if the site
has been identified as, or potentially as, a site containing hazardous substances; d) it did not
cause or contribute to the release or threat of release of any hazardous substance found within the
PROJECT limits.

        The REQUESTING PARTY also certifies that, in addition to reporting the presence of
any hazardous substances to the Department of Environmental Quality, it has advised the
DEPARTMENT of the presence of any and all hazardous substances which the REQUESTING
PARTY found within the PROJECT limits, as a result of performing the investigation and visual
inspection required herein. The REQUESTING PARTY also certifies that it has been unable to
identify any entity who may be liable for the cost of remediation. As a result, the
REQUESTING PARTY has included all estimated costs of remediation of such hazardous
substances in its estimated cost of construction of the PROJECT.

         10.    If, subsequent to execution of this contract, previously unknown hazardous
substances are discovered within the PROJECT limits, which require environmental remediation
pursuant to either state or federal law, the REQUESTING PARTY, in addition to reporting that
fact to the Department of Environmental Quality, shall immediately notify the DEPARTMENT,
both orally and in writing of such discovery. The DEPARTMENT shall consult with the
REQUESTING PARTY to determine if it is willing to pay for the cost of remediation and, with
the FHWA, to determine the eligibility, for reimbursement, of the remediation costs. The
REQUESTING PARTY shall be charged for and shall pay all costs associated with such
remediation, including all delay costs of the contractor for the PROJECT, in the event that
remediation and delay costs are not deemed eligible by the FHW A. If the REQUESTING
PARTY refuses to participate in the cost of remediation, the DEPARTMENT shall terminate the
PROJECT. The parties agree that any costs or damages that the DEPARTMENT incurs as a
result of such termination shall be considered a PROJECT COST.

        11.     If federal and/or state funds administered by the DEPARTMENT are used to pay
the cost of remediating any hazardous substances discovered after the execution of this contract
and if there is a reasonable likelihood of recovery, the REQUESTING PARTY, in cooperation
with the Department of Environmental Quality and the DEPARTMENT, shall make a diligent


09/06/90 STP.FOR 4/19/06                        4
effort to recover such costs from all other possible entitles. If recovery is made, the
DEPARTMENT shall be reimbursed from such recovery for the proportionate share of the
amount paid by the FHWA and/or the DEPARTMENT and the DEPARTMENT shall credit
such sums to the appropriate funding source.

      12.     The DEPARTMENT'S sole reason for entering into this contract is to enable the
REQUESTING PARTY to obtain and use funds provided by the Federal Highway
Administration pursuant to Title 23 of the United States Code.

        Any and all approvals of, reviews of, and recommendations regarding contracts,
agreements, permits, plans, specifications, or documents, of any nature, or any inspections of
work by the DEPARTMENT or its agents pursuant to the terms of this contract are done to assist
the REQUESTING PARTY in meeting program guidelines in order to qualify for available
funds. Such approvals, reviews, inspections and recommendations by the DEPARTMENT or its
agents shall not relieve the REQUESTING PARTY and the local agencies, as applicable, of their
ultimate control and shall not be construed as a warranty of their propriety or that the
DEPARTMENT or its agents is assuming any liability, control or jurisdiction.

        The providing of recommendations or advice by the DEPARTMENT or its agents does
not relieve the REQUESTING PARTY and the local agencies, as applicable of their exclusive
jurisdiction of the highway and responsibility under MCL 691.1402, MSA 3.996(102).

     When providing approvals, reviews and recommendations under this contract, the
DEPARTMENT or its agents is performing a governmental function, as that term is defined in
MCL 691.1401; MSA 3.996(101), which is incidental to the completion of the PROJECT.

to this contract, has not and does not assume jurisdiction of the highway, described as the
PROJECT for purposes of MCL 691.1402; MSA 3.996(102). Exclusive jurisdiction of such
highway for the purposes of MCL 691.1402; MSA 3.996(102) rests with the REQUESTING
PARTY and other local agencies having respective jmisdiction.

        14.    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.

         15.    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 tetms 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.

       17.     The DEPARTMENT shall require the contractor who is awarded the contract for
the construction of the PROJECT to provide insurance in the amounts specified and in
accordance with the DEPARTMENT'S current Standard Specifications for Construction and to:

                    copies of certificates of insurance to the insureds. It is understood that the
                    DEPARTMENT does not assume jurisdiction of the highway described as
                    the PROJECT as a result of being named as an insured on the owner's
                    protective liability insurance policy.

             C.     Comply with the requirements of notice of cancellation and reduction of

H.    The REQUESTING PARTY, at no cost to the PROJECT, or the DEPARTMENT, shall
      secure, as necessary, all agreements and approvals of the PROJECT with railway
      companies, the Railroad Safety & Tariffs Division of the DEPARTMENT and other
      concerned governmental agencies other than the FHW A, and will forward same to the
      DEPARTMENT for such reviews and approvals as may be required.

I.    No PROJECT work for which reimbursement will be requested by the REQUESTING
      PARTY is to be subcontracted or performed until the DEPARTMENT gives written
      notification that such work may commence.

J.    The REQUESTING PARTY shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and
      expenses incurred in the performance of the work it agrees to undertake and perform.

K.     The REQUESTING PARTY shall pay directly to the party performing the work all
       billings for the services performed on the PROJECT which are authorized by or through
       the REQUESTING PARTY.

L.     The REQUESTING PARTY shall submit to the DEPARTMENT all paid billings for
       which reimbursement is desired in accordance with DEPARTMENT procedures.

M.     All work by a consulting firm will be performed in compliance with the applicable
       provisions of 1980 PA 299, Subsection 2001, MCL 339.2001; MSA 18.425(2001), as
       well as in accordance with the provisions of all previously cited Directives of the FHWA

N.     The project engineer shall be subject to such administrative guidance as may be deemed
       necessary to ensure compliance with program requirement and, in those instances where
       a consultant firm is retained to provide engineering and inspection services, the personnel
       performing those services shall be subject to the same conditions.

0.    The DEPARTMENT, in administering the PROJECT in accordance with applicable
      Federal and State requirements and regulations, neither assumes nor becomes liable for
      any obligations undertaken or arising between the REQUESTING PARTY and any other
      party with respect to the PROJECT.

P.    In the event it is determined by the DEPARTMENT that there will be either insufficient
      Federal funds or insufficient time to properly administer such funds for the entire
      PROJECT or portions thereof, the DEPARTMENT, prior to advertising or issuing
      authorization for work performance, may cancel the PROJECT, or any portion thereof,
      and upon written notice to the parties this contract shall be void and of no effect with
      respect to that cancelled portion of the PROJECT. Any PROJECT deposits previously
      made by the parties on the cancelled portions of the PROJECT will be promptly
      refunded.

                                       SECTION III

                             ACCOUNTING AND BILLING


A.    Procedures for billing for work undertaken by the REQUESTING PARTY:

       1.   The REQUESTING PARTY shall establish and maintain accurate records, in
            accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, of all expenses
            incurred for which payment is sought or made under this contract, said records to
            be hereinafter referred to as the "RECORDS". Separate accounts shall be
            established and maintained for all costs incurred under this contract.

            The REQUESTING PARTY shall maintain the RECORDS for at least three (3)
            years from the date of final payment of Federal Aid made by the DEPARTMENT
            under this contract. In the event of a dispute with regard to the allowable
            expenses or any other issue under this contract, the REQUESTING PARTY shall
            thereafter continue to maintain the RECORDS at least until that dispute has been
            finally decided and the time for all available challenges or appeals of that decision
            has expired.

            The DEPARTMENT, or its representative, may inspect, copy, or audit the
            RECORDS at any reasonable time after giving reasonable notice.

            If any part of the work is subcontracted, the REQUESTING PARTY shall assure
            compliance with the above for all subcontracted work.

            In the event that an audit performed by or on behalf of the DEPARTMENT
            indicates an adjustment to the costs reported under this contract, or questions the
            allowability of an item of expense, the DEPARTMENT shall promptly submit to
            the REQUESTING PARTY, a Notice of Audit Results and a copy of the audit
            report which may supplement or modify any tentative findings verbally
            communicated to the REQUESTING PARTY at the completion of an audit.

            Within sixty (60) days after the date of the Notice of Audit Results, the
            REQUESTING PARTY shall: (a) respond in writing to the responsible Bureau or
            the DEPARTMENT indicating whether or not it concurs with the audit report, (b)
            clearly explain the nature and basis for any disagreement as to a disallowed item
            of expense and, (c) submit to the DEPARTMENT a written explanation as to any
            questioned or no opinion expressed item of expense, hereinafter referred to as the
            "RESPONSE". The RESPONSE shall be clearly stated and provide any
            supporting documentation necessary to resolve any disagreement or questioned or
            no opinion expressed item of expense. Where the documentation is voluminous,
            the REQUESTING PARTY may supply appropriate excerpts and make alternate


03-15-93                                     7
           arrangements to conveniently and reasonably make that documentation available
           for review by the DEPARTMENT. The RESPONSE shall refer to and apply the
           language of the contract. The REQUESTING PARTY agrees that failure to
           submit a RESPONSE within the sixty (60) day period constitutes agreement with
           any disallowance of an item of expense and authorizes the DEPARTMENT to
           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 Notice of Audit Results.         If the DEPARTMENT determines that an
           overpayment has been made to the REQUESTING PARTY, the REQUESTING
           PARTY shall repay that amount to the DEPARTMENT or reach agreement with
           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
           the REQUESTING PARTY under the terms of 1951 PA 51, as applicable.
           Interest will be assessed on any partial payments or repayment schedules based on
           the unpaid balance at the end of each month until the balance is paid in full. The
           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 Court
           of Claims to contest the DEPARTMENT'S decision only as to any item of
           expense the disallowance of which was disputed by the REQUESTING PARTY
           in a timely filed RESPONSE.

           The REQUESTING PARTY shall comply with the Single Audit Act of 1984,
           P.L. 98-502.

           The REQUESTING PARTY shall adhere to the following requirements
           associated with audits of accounts and records:

           may include limited scope reviews and other on-site monitoring.

      2.   Agreed Unit Prices Work - All billings for work undertaken by the
           REQUESTING PARTY on an agreed unit price basis will be submitted in
           accordance with the Michigan Department of Transportation Standard
           Specifications for Construction and pertinent FAPG Directives and Guidelines of
           the FHWA.

      3.   Force Account Work and Subcontracted Work - All billings submitted to the
           DEPARTMENT for Federal reimbursement for items of work performed on a
           force account basis or by any subcontract with a consulting firm, railway
           company, governmental agency or other party, under the terms of this contract,
           shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the pertinent FHPM
           Directives and the procedures of the DEPARTMENT. Progress billings may be
           submitted monthly during the time work is being performed provided, however,
           that no bill of a lesser amount than $1 ,000.00 shall be submitted unless it is a final


03-15-93                                     9
            or end of fiscal year billing. All billings shall be labeled either "Progress Bill
            Number           ",or "Final Billing".

      4.    Final billing under this contract shall be submitted in a timely manner but not later
            than six months after completion of the work. Billings for work submitted later
            than six months after completion of the work will not be paid.

       5.   Upon receipt of billings for reimbursement for work undertaken by the
            REQUESTING PARTY on projects funded with Federal monies, the
            DEPARTMENT will act as billing agent for the REQUESTING PARTY,
            consolidating said billings with those for its own force account work and
            presenting these consolidated billings to the FHW A for payment. Upon receipt of
            reimbursement from the FHWA, the DEPARTMENT will promptly forward to
            the REQUESTING PARTY its share of said reimbursement.

      6.    Upon receipt of billings for reimbursement for work undertaken by the
            REQUESTING PARTY on projects funded with non-Federal monies, the
            DEPARTMENT will promptly forward to the REQUESTING PARTY
            reimbursement of eligible costs.

B.    Payment of Contracted and DEPARTMENT Costs:

       I.   As work on the PROJECT commences, the initial payments for contracted work
            and/or costs incurred by the DEPARTMENT will be made from the working
            capital deposit. Receipt of progress payments of Federal funds, and where
            applicable, State Critical Bridge funds, will be used to replenish the working
            capital deposit. The REQUESTING PARTY shall make prompt payments of its
            share of the contracted and/or DEPARTMENT incurred portion of the PROJECT
            COST upon receipt of progress billings from the DEPARTMENT. Progress
            billings will be based upon the REQUESTING PARTY'S share of the actual costs
            incurred as work on the PROJECT progresses and will be submitted, as required,
            until it is determined by the DEPARTMENT that there is sufficient available
            working capital to meet the remaining anticipated PROJECT COSTS. All
            progress payments will be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of billings. No
            monthly billing of a lesser amount than $1,000.00 will be made unless it is a final
            or end of fiscal year billing. Should the DEPARTMENT determine that the
            available working capital exceeds the remaining anticipated PROJECT COSTS,
            the DEPARTMENT may reimburse the REQUESTING PARTY such excess.
            Upon completion of the PROJECT, payment of all PROJECT COSTS, receipt of
            all applicable monies from the FHW A, and completion of necessary audits, the
            REQUESTING PARTY will be reimbursed the balance of its deposit.




03-15-93                                     10
      2.     In the event that the bid, plus contingencies, for the contracted, and/or the
             DEPARTMENT incurred portion of the PROJECT work exceeds the estimated
             cost therefor as established by this contract, the REQUESTING PARTY may be
             advised and billed for the additional amount of its share.

C.    General Conditions:

      ].     The DEPARTMENT, in accordance with its procedures in existence and covering
             the time period involved, shall make payment for interest earned on the balance of
             working capital deposits for all projects on account with the DEPARTMENT.
             The REQUESTING PARTY in accordance with DEPARTMENT procedures in
             existence and covering the time period involved, shall make payment for interest
             owed on any deficit balance of working capital deposits for all projects on
             account with the DEPARTMENT. This payment or billing is processed on an
             annual basis corresponding to the State of Michigan fiscal year. Upon receipt of
             billing for interest incurred, the REQUESTING PARTY promises and shall
             promptly pay the DEPARTMENT said amount.

      2.     Pursuant to the authority granted by law, the REQUESTING PARTY hereby
             irrevocably pledges a sufficient amount of funds received by it from the Michigan
             Transportation Fund to meet its obligations as specified in PART I and PART II.
             If the REQUESTING PARTY shall fail to make any of its required payments
             when due, as specified herein, the DEPARTMENT shall immediately notify the
             REQUESTING PARTY and the State Treasurer of the State of Michigan or such
             other state officer or agency having charge and control over disbursement of the
             Michigan Transportation Fund, pursuant to law, of the fact of such default and the
             amount thereof, and, if such default is not cured by payment within ten (1 0) days,
             said State Treasurer or other state officer or agency is then authorized and
             directed to withhold from the first of such monies thereafter allocated by law to
             the REQUESTING PARTY from the Michigan Transportation Fund sufficient
             monies to remove the default, and to credit the REQUESTING PARTY with
             payment thereof, and to notify the REQUESTING PARTY in writing of such fact.

      3.     Upon completion of all work under this contract and final audit by the
             DEPARTMENT or the FHWA, the REQUESTING PARTY promises to
             promptly repay the DEPARTMENT for any disallowed items of costs previously
             disbursed by the DEPARTMENT. The REQUESTING PARTY pledges its
             future receipts from the Michigan Transportation Fund for repayment of all
             disallowed items and, upon failure to make repayment for any disallowed items
             within ninety (90) days of demand made by the DEPARTMENT, the
             DEPARTMENT is hereby authorized to withhold an equal amount from the
             REQUESTING PARTY'S share of any future distribution of Michigan
             Transportation Funds in settlement of said claim.



03-15-93                                     II
      4.   The DEPARTMENT shall maintain and keep accurate records and accounts
           relative to the cost of the PROJECT and upon completion of the PROJECT,
           payment of all items of PROJECT COST, receipt of all Federal Aid, if any, and
           completion of final audit by the DEPARTMENT and if applicable, by the FHWA,
           shall make final accounting to the REQUESTING PARTY. The final PROJECT
           accounting will not include interest earned or charged on working capital
           deposited for the PROJECT which will be accounted for separately at the close of
           the State of Michigan fiscal year and as set forth in Section C( I).

      5.   The costs of engineering and other services performed on those projects involving
           specific program funds and one hundred percent (I 00%) local funds will be
           apportioned to the respective portions of that project in the same ratio as the
           actual direct construction costs unless otherwise specified in PART I.




03-15-93                                  12
                                        SECTION IV

                             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:

       I.    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 FHW A, 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, if required.



03-15-93                                      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.

        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

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,

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 books, 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

        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

        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 (I) through (8) in
       every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by the rules, regulations or orders of the Michigan Civil Rights
       Commission, and will provide in every subcontract or purchase order that said provisions will be binding upon each
       subcontractor or seller.                                                                                  March, 1998

                                                     APPENDIX B

     During the performance of this contract, the contractor, for itself, its assignees, and successors in interest

     1.      Compliance with Regulations: The contractor shall comply with the Regulations relative to
             nondiscrimination in Federally assisted programs of the Department of Transportation, Title 49,
             Code of Federal Regulations, Part 27, as they may be amended from time to time (hereinafter
             referred to as the Regulations), which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this
             contract.

     2.      Nondiscrimination: The contractor, with regard to the work performed by it during the contract,
             shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, or natural origin in the selection and retention of
             subcontractors, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment. The contractor shall
             not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by Section 21.5 of the
             Regulations, including employment practices when the contract covers a program set forth in
             Appendix B of the Regulations.

     3.      Solicitations for Subcontracts, Including Procurements of Materials and Equipment: In all
             solicitations either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the contractor for work to be
             performed under a subcontract, including procurements of materials or leases of equipment, each
             potential subcontractor or supplier shall be notified by the contractor of the contractor's obligations
             under this contract and the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, color,
             or national origin.

     4.      Information and Reports: The contractor shall provide all information and reports required by the
             Regulations, or directives issued pursuant thereto, and shall permit access to its books, records,
             accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by the Michigan
             Department of Transportation or the Federal Highway Administration to be pertinent to ascertain
             compliance with such Regulations or directives. Where any information required of a contractor is
             in the exclusive possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish this information, the contractor
             shall so certify to the Michigan Department of Transportation, or the Federal Highway
             Administration as appropriate, and shall set forth what efforts it has made to obtain the information.

     5.      Sanctions for Noncompliance:         In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the
             nondiscrimination provisions of this contract, the Michigan Department of Transportation shall
             impose such contract sanctions as it or the Federal Highway Administration may determine to be
             appropriate, including, but not limited to:

             (a)     Withholding of payments to the contractor under the contract until the contractor complies,
                     and/or

             (b)     Cancellation, termination, or suspension of the contract, in whole or in part.

     6.      Incorporation of Provisions: The contractor shall include the provisions of paragraphs 1 through 6
             of every subcontract, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment, unless exempt by
             the Regulations, or directives issued pursuant thereto. The contractor shall take such action with
             respect to any subcontract or procurement as the Michigan Department of Transportation or the
             Federal Highway Administration may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions including
             sanctions for non-compliance; provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in,
             or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or supplier as a result of such direction, the
             contractor may request the Michigan Department of Transportation to enter into such litigation to
             protect the interests of the State, and, in addition, the contractor may request the United States to
             enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
                                    APPENDIXC

             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 awai"d 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 MOOT 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 awll.rd
           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.

                          RESOLUTION APPROVING APPLICATION FOR ISSUANCE
                           OF INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE
                                      FORMING TECHNOLOGIES

WHEREAS, pursuant to P.A. 198 of 1974 as amended, after duly noticed pubic hearing, this Commission
     by resolution established an Industrial Development District; and

WHEREAS, Forming Technologies has filed an application for the issuance of an Industrial Facilities Tax
     Exemption Certificate with respect to a building expansion and new machinery and equipment to be
     installed within said Industrial Development District; and

WHEREAS, before acting on said application the Muskegon City Commission held a public hearing on June 13,
     2006, at the Muskegon City Hall in Muskegon, Michigan at 5:30 p.m. at which hearing the applicant, the
     assessor and representatives of the affected taxing units were given written notice and were afforded
     an opportunity to be heard on said application; and

WHEREAS, the installation of machinery and equipment is calculated to and will have the reasonable likelihood
     to retain, create, or prevent the loss of employment in Muskegon, Michigan; and

WHEREAS, the aggregate SEV of real property exempt from ad valorem taxes within the City of Muskegon, will
     not exceed 5% of an amount equal to the sum of the SEV of the unit, plus the SEV of personal and real

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Muskegon City Commission of the City of Muskegon,
      Michigan that:

         1)   The Muskegon City Commission finds and determines that the Certificate considered together with
              the aggregate amount of certificates previously granted and currently in force under Act No. 198 of
              the Public Act of 1974 as amended and Act No. 255 of the Public Acts of 1978 as amended shall
              not have the effect of substantially impeding the operation of the City of Muskegon or impairing the
              financial soundness of a taxing unit which levies ad valorem property taxes in the City of
              Muskegon.

         2)   The application of Forming Technologies, for the issuance of an Industrial Facilities Tax Exemption
              Certificate with respect to the building expansion and installation of new machinery and equipment

       revenues due to the loss of business, (not due to diversion of production to affiliate
       companies or divisions of the company), production records showing reduced quantities
       over significant periods of time, and such other information required by the City to
       support the Company's claim that the failure to invest, failure to achieve affirmative
       action goals, or loss of jobs should not form the basis for a finding of default.


       3.5 The bankmptcy or insolvency of the Company.

       3.6 The failure to pay any and all taxes and assessments levied on the Company's propCiiy or

       the Company shall be immediately liable for penalties to be paid forthwith to the city as
       detennined as follows:

              4.1.1 The Company shall pay to the City for prorata distribution to the taxing units
              experiencing the abatement, an amount equal to the difference between the industrial
              facilities tax which it has paid, and the total propetiy taxes to the relevant taxing units
              which it would have paid, given its installations of improvements and equipment,
              during the years tor which the cetiificate was in effect.

              4.1.2 Immediate Revocation. The Company hereby consents to revocation to the 1FT
              certificate before the State Tax Commission, without hearing, and the City shall submit
              a copy of this Agreement to the State Tax Commission in connection with its revocation
              procedure, giving notice that the default has occurred and immediate revocation should
              occur.

       year period, in addition to the revocation procedures before the State Tax Commission, the
       abatement should immediately be reduced by the City propmiionately, and any installations
       which have not been finished at the end of said two (2) year period shall not be eligible for the
       abatement thereatler and shall be placed on the regular tax roll.

       4.3 Failure to Expend the Funds Represented. In the event, (whether or not the installations
       have been completed), the Company has not expended the funds it has represented on its
       application that it would invest for the installation of equipment, the abatement shall be reduced
       pro rata, and any remaining value of equipment shall be placed on the regular tax roll, unless
       the company can show, through receipts, etc. that the cost of the equipment was actually
       less than the amount estimated by the company (i.e., the same equipment was purchased
       as listed in the 1FT application, but the bids came in less then expected).

      4.4 Job Creation and Retention. In the event the promised number of jobs have not been
      created or retained at the end of the two (2) years after the grant of the cetiificate by the State
      Tax Commission, the abatement shall be proportionately reduced, unless the company can
      show that the loss of jobs, or inability to hire as many people as expected, is due to
      circumstances beyond the control of the company (such as an economic downturn).

      4.5 Affitmative Action Goals. In the event, after one (1) year from the grant of the certificate
      by the State Tax Commission, the aflinnative action goals of the City for additional jobs have
      not been met on a prorata basis, the abatement shall be revoked.

      amounting to grounds for revocation by statue, the City shall recommend to the State Tax
      Commission immediate revocation of the certificate.

     assessor and representatives of the affected taxing units were given written notice and were afforded
     an opportunity to be heard on said application; and

WHEREAS, the installation of machinery and equipment is calculated to and will have the reasonable likelihood
     to retain, create, or prevent the loss of employment in Muskegon, Michigan; and

              Muskegon.

         2)   The application of Port City Industrial Finishing, for the issuance of an Industrial Facilities Tax

                                            CITY OF MUSKEGON

                                   CONTRACT FOR TAX ABATEMENT
                                             Act 198 Public Acts o!J974


       AGREEMENT between CITY OF MUSKEGON, a municipal corporation of 933 Terrace Street,
Muskegon, Michigan 49441, ("City") and Port City Industrial Finishing ("Company").

                                                       Recitals:

A.        The Company has applied to City for the establishment of an industrial development district or industrial
rehabilitation district pursuant to the provisions of Act 198 of the Public Acts of 1974, as amended, which act
requires a contract between the City and the Company to be agreed and submitted with the Company's
subsequent anticipated application for an industrial facilities exemption certificate.

B.       That in addition to the statutory requirement, the City has determined that it is in the best interests of the
taxpayers, property owners and residents of the City that this Agreement be approved and executed prior to the
establishment of the requested district, and the City deems this Contract, together with the conditions set forth in
the said Act to constitute a necessary element in the City's determination whether or not to create the district.

C.        The Company intends to install the project set forth in its application ("project") which it believes
qualifies for the process of establishing the district and the application for industrial facilities exemption
certificate.

D.        The City, provided this Agreement is executed, will determine whether to create the district based upon
the potential for the production of permanent jobs, the continuation, stabilization or increase of economic
activity, planning and zoning considerations and the City's general plan and intentions regarding economic
development. In addition to the City policy considerations and predictions that the Company's proposed district
and certificate benefit the community in those ways, the City has further determined that the contractual
commitments made by the Company to thereby assist the community shall be binding on the Company and
necessary to continue the tax exemption made possible by the certificate.

E.     This contract shall become effective upon the issuance of an Industrial Facilities Tax
Exemption Certificate.

         NOW THEREFORE THE PARTIES AGREE:




 1.      COMPANY AGREEMENT. The Company irrevocably commits to the investment, job retention and
job creation promises made in its application, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein. In
particular the Company agrees:

         1 .1   That 100% of the jobs shall be filled and in existence with full-time employees by a date no later
                than two (2) years from the date of the granting of the certificate by the State Tax Commission,
                subject to the provisions of section 3.4 of this agreement.

         1.2    That the amount of jobs listed on the application, whether new or retained, will be maintained
                through the life of the abatement, subject to the provisions of section 3.4 of this agreement.

         1.3    The Company shall meet the affirmative action goal included in the application or in any
                documents supplied by the City and utilized by the Company, including any additional

                 3.4 of this agreement.

         1.4     The Company, by the end of two (2) years from the date of the grant of the certificate by the State
                 Tax Commission shall have completed the investment of $289,000 in the equipment and
                 improvements as shown in the application, subject to the provisions of section 3.4 of this
                 agreement.

         1.5     That the improvements and equipment to receive the tax abatement treatment shall be
                 completed on or before the date two (2) years from the date of granting of the certificate by the
                 State Tax Commission.

         1.6    The Company shall pay its specific taxes required by the act in a timely manner, and shall not
                delay payments so as to incur any penalties or interest.

         1. 7   The Company shall fully cooperate with the City representatives in supplying all requested and
                required documentation regarding jobs, investment, the meeting of all goals and the timely
                installation and utilization of equipment and improvements. The City shall be entitled to inspect at
                reasonable hours the Company's premises where the said improvements and equipment have
                been installed and where the said jobs are performed.

         1.8    The Company shall maintain, during the entire period for which the tax abatement is granted, the
                level of jobs, affirmative action goals, production and utilization of the improvements and
                equipment at the site where the district has been created and for which the tax exemption has
                been granted.

                agency having authority.

         1.10 The Company shall maintain the equipment and improvements so as to minimize physical or
              functional obsolescence.

         1.11 The Company shall continue to operate its business location in the City, containing the same
              number of and type of jobs, for the term of the certificate.




2.        AGREEMEN"J:I;IY TH_I;_Cil)'. Provided this contract has been executed and further provided all
applications to create the district and achieve the industrial facility exemption certificate have been properly filed,
the City shall, in a timely manner, determine in a public meeting to whether to create the district and whether
to receive, process, and approve thereafter the Company's application for an industrial facilities exemption
certificate. The City may consider this contract in a meeting separate from and prior to the meeting in which the
City considers the creation of the district and/or approval of the application for certificate. Further, the City shall
require the submission of this contract signed by the Company together with its applications, before creating the
district.

3.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following actions or failures to comply shall be considered events of
default by the Company:

         3.1    Failure to meet any of the commitments set forth above.




6/6/06
         3.2 The closing of the Company's facilities in the City. Closing shall mean for purpose of this
         Agreement, the removal, without transfer to another site within the City of substantially all of the
         production facilities, and the elimination of substantially all the jobs created or retained thereby, which
         are set forth in the Company's application.

         3.3 Failure to afford to the City the documentation and reporting required.

         3.4 The failure to create or retain jobs, meet affirmative action goals or expend the funds on
         equipment and improvements as represented in the application within the times required hereby,
         unless the company can show that there has been a loss of revenue and employment due to
         circumstances beyond the control of the company. In order to make that showing the company
         shall have the burden of supplying, to the City's satisfaction, complete and convincing
         documentation supporting and justifying reductions in investment, failures to attain affirmative
         action goals or job losses, such as, without limitation, written evidence of lost contracts,
         accounting information showing reduced revenues due to the loss of business, {not due to
         diversion of production to affiliate companies or divisions of the company), production records
         showing reduced quantities over significant periods of time, and such other information
         required by the City to support the Company's claim that the failure to invest, failure to achieve
         affirmative action goals, or loss of jobs should not form the basis for a finding of default.


         3.5 The bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

         3.6 The failure to pay any and all taxes and assessments levied on the Company's property or any
         other taxes, local, state or federal, including but not limited to City income taxes and the withholding of
         said City income taxes from employees as required by the City Income Tax Ordinance.

         3.7 The performance or omission of any act which would lead to revocation under MCLA 207.565,
         being §15 of the Act.

         3.8 The violation of any provisions, promises, commitments, considerations or covenants of this
         Agreement.

4. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. In the event of any of the above defaults the City shall have the following
remedies which it may invoke without notice, except as may be reasonably required by the Company's rights to
due process:

         4.1 In the event of closing as determined after investigation of the facts and a public hearing, the
         Company shall be immediately liable for penalties to be paid forthwith to the city as determined as
         follows:
                 4.1.1 The Company shall pay to the City for prorata distribution to the taxing units
                 experiencing the abatement, an amount equal to the difference between the industrial facilities
                 tax which it has paid, and the total property taxes to the relevant taxing units which it would
                 have paid, given its installations of improvements and equipment, during the years for which
                 the certificate was in effect.


                 4.1.2 Immediate Revocation. The Company hereby consents to revocation to the 1FT
                 certificate before the State Tax Commission, without hearing, and the City shall submit a copy
                 of this Agreement to the State Tax Commission in connection with its revocation procedure,
                 giving notice that the default has occurred and immediate revocation should occur.


         4.2 In the event the improvements and equipment have not been installed before the two {2) year
         period, in addition to the revocation procedures before the State Tax Commission, the abatement



6/6/06
         should immediately be reduced by the City proportionately, and any installations which have not been
         finished at the end of said two (2) year period shall not be eligible for the abatement thereafter and shall
         be placed on the regular tax roll.


         4.3 Failure to Expend the Funds Represented. In the event, (whether or not the installations have
         been completed), the Company has not expended the funds it has represented on its application that it
         would invest for the installation of equipment, the abatement shall be reduced prorata, and any
         remaining value of equipment shall be placed on the regular tax roll, unless the company can show,
         through receipts, etc. that the cost of the equipment was actually less than the amount
         estimated by the company (i.e., the same equipment was purchased as listed in the 1FT
         application, but the bids came in less then expected).


         4.4 Job Creation and Retention. In the event the promised number of jobs have not been created or
         retained at the end of the two (2) years after the grant of the certificate by the State Tax Commission,
         the abatement shall be proportionately reduced, unless the company can show that the loss of
         jobs, or inability to hire as many people as expected, is due to circumstances beyond the
         control of the company (such as an economic downturn).


         4.5 Affirmative Action Goals. In the event, after one (1) year from the grant of the certificate by the
         State Tax Commission, the affirmative action goals of the City for additional jobs have not been met on
         a prorata basis, the abatement shall be revoked.


         4.6 For other violations of this Agreement or for actions or omissions by the Company amounting to
         grounds for revocation by statue, the City shall recommend to the State Tax Commission immediate
         revocation of the certificate.


         4.7 §J:>ecial A!isessw~llt. For any amount due to be paid to the City, under this Section 4, the
         Company consents that the City shall have a personal action against the Company for the said amount,
         and in addition, cumulatively, and not by election, the City shall have a special assessment lien on all
         the property of the Company personal and real, located in the City, for the collection of the amounts
         due as and in the manner of property taxes and in such case the collection of the said special
         assessment shall be accomplished by addition by the City to the Company's property tax statement
         regularly rendered.


  5. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
  State of Michigan applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of Michigan.


  6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts. Notwithstanding such
  execution all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same Agreement.


  7. Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties, their
  successors and personal representatives.


  8. Eff<>ctiv!O!_Da_te. This Agreement shall be effective on the date the State of Michigan Tax Commission
  grants the company at Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate.

                                      RESOLUTIONNO.          2006-Sl(d)


A resolution approving the application for an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate by 2238
Henry Street LLC.


The City Commission of the City of Muskegon hereby RESOLVES:

Recitals


A.      The City Commission has received an Application for an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption
        Certificate from 2238 Henry Street LLC, to apply to the improvements located in an Obsolete
        Property Rehabilitation District established by previous resolution.

B.      The City of Muskegon is a qualified local governmental unit as determined by STC Bulletin No. 9 of
        2000, dated July 12, 2000.

C.      An Obsolete Property Rehabilitation District in which the application property is located was
        established after hearing on June 13, 2006, being the same date that the district was established.

D.      The taxable value of the property proposed to be exempt, plus the aggregate taxable value of
        properties already exempted under PA 146 of 2000 and under PA 198 of 1974, does not exceed five
        percent (5%) of the total taxable value of the City of Muskegon.

E.      In the event it is determined that the said taxable values do exceed five percent (5%), the City
        Commission determines further that the said excedence will not have the effect of substantially
        impeding the operation of the City of Muskegon or impairing the financial soundness of any affected
        taxing units.

F.      This resolution of approval is considered by the City Commission on June 13, 2006, after a public
        hearing as provided in Section 4(2) of PA 146 of 2000. The hearing was held on this date.

G.      The applicant, 2238 Henry Street LLC, is not delinquent any taxes related to the facility.

H.      The exemption to be granted by this resolution is for eight (8) years.

I.      The City Commission finds that the property for which the Obsolete Property Rehabilitation
        Exemption Certificate is sought is obsolete property within the meaning of Section 2(h) of Public Act
        146 of 2000 in that the property, which is commercial, is functionally obsolete. The City has received
        from the applicant all the items required by Section 9 of the application form, being the general
        description of the obsolete facility, a general description of the proposed use, a description of the
        general nature and extent of the rehabilitation to be undertaken, a descriptive list of fixed building
        equipment that will be part of the rehabilitated facility, a time schedule for undertaking and complete
        the rehabilitation, and statement of the economic advantages expected from the exemption.

J.      Commencement of the rehabilitation has not occurred before the establishment of the district.

K.      The application relates to a rehabilitation program that when completed will constitute a rehabilitated
        within the meaning of PA 146 of 2000 and will be situated within the Obsolete Property Rehabilitation
        District established by the City under PA 146 of 2000.
L.       Completion of the rehabilitated facility is calculated to and will, at the time of the issuance of the
         Certificate, have the reasonable likelihood to increase commercial activity and create employment; it
         will revitalize an urban area. The rehabilitation will include improvements aggregating more than ten
         percent (1 0%) of the true cash value of the property at the commencement of the rehabilitation.

M.      The City Commission determines that the applicant shall have twelve (12) months to complete the
        rehabilitation. It shall be completed by June 13, 2007, or one year after the Certificate is issued,
        whichever occurs later.

N.      That notice pursuant to statute has been timely given to the applicant, the assessor for the City of
        Muskegon, representatives of the affected taxing units and the general public.

         NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COMMISSION RESOLVES:

1.       Based upon the statements set forth in, and incorporating the recitals to this resolution, the City
         Commission hereby approves the application filed by 2238 Henry Street LLC., for an Obsolete
         Property Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate, to be effective for a period of eight (8) years;

2.      BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this resolution of approval relates to the property set forth in
        Attachment A, the legal description containing the facilities to be improved;

3.      BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, as further condition of this approval, the applicant shall comply
        with the representations and conditions set forth in the recitals above and in the application material
        submitted to the City.

This resolution passed .

         • 6 Station Hair Salon- Salon will rent available chairs to experienced Hair
             Stylists.
   3.   Description of the general nature and extent of the rehabilitation to be undertaken:
         • Cun·ent structure is a dilapidated cape code style house that has been vacant
            for at least 2 years. House would not received occupancy permit in current
             state.
         • Complete Exterior rehabilitation including new roof, new windows, and new

         • Site improvements including addition ofhandicap access ramp, parking lot,
             fence, and landscaping to meet Muskegon City requirements.

            design.

        • All interior work completed by 6/1/07.
   6.   A statement of the economic advantages expected from the exemption:
        • In the past year at least 2 salons have moved out of the City of Muskegon and
            reopened in the new mall area in Fruitport. This has caused a large number of
            Hair Stylists to move employment out of the City of Muskegon. In addition,
            the !lair Stylists may eventually move out of the City to be closer to work.
            There are very fev·l successful, clean, and modern Hair Salons left in the City
           of Muskegon and the remaining are having a hard time staying profitable due
    largely to outdated buildings and employee tumover. These salons are also
    conunissioned based where they works only take in a percentage of the money
    they receive for services. These types of salons only appeal to the Stylist with
    little experience and clientaL Rental based Salons are becoming extinct due to
    the new franchise chains making it difficult for the experienced Stylists to find
    a place to work. In order to compete and maintain a profit I need to keep tight
    control of the overhead. Obtaining this exemption certificate is necessary for
    the rehabilitation to be undetiaken.
•   The proposed salon is in a B4 commercial zoned area but several dilapidated
    homes still exist on the adjacent properties on both sides. The addition of this
    salon will help others to visualize new uses for these adjacent dilapidated
    homes for such uses as office, retail, or other commercial projects. Thus re-
    establishing Henry Street in Muskegon as a prime conunercial district.

         reduction specifically stated in writing, and has been given an opportunity to be heard in
         his own defense and any counsel retained by him may present his cause to the Civil
         Service Commission. The reasons for such discharge or reduction and any report in
         writing thereunder by such employee shall be filed with the Civil Service Commission.
         Any employee of any department in the classified service who is suspended, reduced in
         rank or dismissed, may appeal to the Civil Service Commission which shall designate the
         manner, time and place by and at which such appeal shall be heard. All hearings before
         the said Civil Service Commission shall at all times be open to the public. In the event
         that the Civil Service Commission shall not sustain the charges made against such




G:\EDSI\FILES\00100\2007\RESOLUl\CV5010.DOC

         be permitted to give either directly or indirectly to any person any money or other
         valuable consideration whatsoever for, or on account of his promotion.

         Section 12. Personnel director; appointment authorized; compensation, restriction.

         personnel director, if he is taken from other than a municipal service, shall be fixed by the
         Commission, but if taken from the municipal service, he shall fill the duties of personnel
         director without other compensation than that paid him in his other employment.

         Section 13. Present employees; appointments, eligibility; examinations waived.

         All persons in the employ of the City holding positions in the classified service at the
         time of the going into effect of the Chapter as such services are defined by this Chapter of

RE:            Consideration of Bids
               Fifth Street, Merrill to Western Ave.


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
McCormick Sand, out of Twin Lakes, submitted the lowest bid price for both concrete and
asphalt. Unfortunately, they failed to fill out the list of subcontractor as required and
indicted on the "check list" which was provided to all contract holders. At this time, staff is
presenting the following;

1- If the Commission elects to waive the aforementioned irregularity, then the H-1604
contract (street & Alley) be awarding to McCormick Sand using the concrete alternate for a
bid price of $537,250.00.

2- If the Commission elects not to waive the aforementioned irregularity, then staff is
recommending award to Millbocker & Sons since they were the second lowest bidder for
the concrete alternate with a bid price of $581,784.56

It should be noted that the award ofthis project, either options, must be contingent upon approvals
by both the County and the state's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) due to the
nature of funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of construction plus 15% for engineering.


BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None.



STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
None.
