Muskegon County Habitat for Humanity (MCHFH)
2004-2005
CHDO Accomplishments
Amount Granted $47,000
• Muskegon County Habitat for Humanity will complete 7 houses in the City of Muskegon by
the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2005).
• Completed Houses include:
• 1030 Ducey (See photo) Appraised at $110,000
• Tax Reverted
• 440 Erickson (See photo) Appraised at $110,00
• Tax Reverted
• Houses to be completed by June 24, 2005:
• 1077 Pine (Donated)
• 269 Meeking
• 1434 Ducey (Donated)
• 1078 Marquette
• 1088 Marquette
• Every house has a selected family and the homes that are completed have families living in
them
• All home owners fall between the 31-50% median income range and would be unlikely to own
homes without a partnership like the one MCHFH provides with twenty year, 0% mortgages.
• By buying tax reverted property and building on it, Muskegon Habitat increases the value of
the property and supplies tax paying home owners to the City.
• 1438 Ducey is a good example of a property that was improved upon completed in 2003-2004
fiscal year. Since completion of the house, winter taxes of $1807.22 have already been paid to
the City of Muskegon. (See photo)
• Since 1985, MCHFH has built or rehabilitated 37 homes in the City of Muskegon, not
including the 5 new homes under construction listed above.
Current Facts and Funding Issues:
• MCHFH is requesting $50,000 for 2005-2006 FY
• Current funding requested from CHDO for the 2004-2005 fiscal year, on two houses
alone, is $40,659, just for infrastructure. This means that we have less than $7,000 left
from CHDO to complete five more homes in the City of Muskegon.
• The City Commission's Recommendation for 2005-2006 to MCHFH is $15,165. This is
less than the cost of the infrastructure on one new home.
• The City Administration and Citizen District Council both recommended allocating $35,000.
What we would like:
1. Reconsideration by the City Commission to reflect what the City Administration and
Citizen District Council recommended.

Public Housing
The Muskegon Housing Commission is a stand-alone agency separate from the City of
Muskegon since 2000 manages the public housing in the city of Muskegon. The agency owns
and operates one multifamily housing complex designated for the elderly and disabled at 1080
Terrace. The name of the structure is Hartford Terrace. The complex consists of 160 one-
bedroom units. The structure was originally built in 1973 as an elderly only building. Currently
the individuals are eligible who are 50 years old or disabled.
During the time of the development of the 2000 city of Muskegon Housing Commission, the
Muskegon Housing Commission had an inventory of 32 scattered site homes. Eight of those 32
sites were homes that the Housing Commission had obtained during the old Turnkey-3 program.
Many of the Turnkey 3 structures had been vacant for a number of years and had created a
blighting influence on their respectful neighborhoods. During the summer of 2003, through an
agreement with the Housing Commission and the City of Muskegon, the structures were sold to
the City of Muskegon and the city demolished all the structures within 30 days.
6
The City of Muskegon's Community and Neighborhood Services office aggressively developed
a plan to build new homes on four of the original sites. At this time three of the sites 1668
Beidler, 361 Oak and 284 Iona all have new homes built on them and are occupied by low to
moderate income homebuyers. The last site 710 Marcoux is designated to have a home built on
it during the summer of 2005. One of the intentions mentioned in the 2000 city of Muskegon
Consolidated Plan was to rid the City's neighborhoods of the blighted Tumkey-3 units and
proudly it was achieved.
It was also mentioned in the 2000 Consolidated Plan that the Hartford Tenace complex was in
need of extensive repairs and updating. In the last four years, the Housing Commission has been
able to achieve that goal. Some of the items that have been updated or repaired at the Hartford
Tenace complex are replacement of ventilation and air conditioning, units replacement of
flooring, remodeling of kitchens, repairing of elevators, update of security system, updating of
plumbing and electrical, the replacement oflounging area furniture, painting, landscaping, etc.
Section 8
The Muskegon Housing Commission is one of two agencies in Muskegon County who
administer the Section 8 tenant-based program. The tenant-based program is designed to
increase affordable housing choices for very low-income families. Persons or families who have
a tenant based voucher choose and lease safe, decent and affordable privately owned rental
housing. Cunently, the Muskegon Housing Commission has allocated 164 vouchers. Of the 164
vouchers, 81 vouchers are being used by persons or families that qualify as elderly or disabled.
There are cunently 318 persons on the MHC Section 8 waiting list. The MCH manages 64% of
the Section 8 vouchers in Muskegon County.
The average yearly income for a household receiving Section 8 assistance is $5,159, the average
monthly rent not including utilities is $143.00. The average rent including utilities per month is
$237.00.
Public assistance is the sole source of income for 15% of households. Households that are
working comprise 38% of the aggregate while 31% of the working households also receive
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
A breakdown of the time that the recipients have been on the program is the following:
Less than 1 year 24 15%
Less than 2 years 36 23%

The law allows some families to receive assistance from Federal TANF funds for more than five
years based on hardship. The average month number of families in hardship status may not
exceed 20% of the states average monthly caseload during that fiscal year. Cunently 117
families in Muskegon County have been allowed to received assistance beyond the 60 months
because of their hardship status.
Also, according to the 2000 census of the 943 grandparents who are classified as care givers in
Muskegon County, 514 of them are responsible for their grandchildren. The additional
responsibility of their grandchildren creates additional financial strain on the household.
The most telling measurement to the economic situation of far to many families in the city of
Muskegon is the high unemployment rate. Again, this is expressed in the section on
unemployment that a significant portion of the population could be classified as the hidden
unemployed.

Unemployment
As was stated in the introduction, the City of Muskegon has experienced several economic
transitions during the last 200 years. Beginning in the early 1800's was the fur trade period for
the City, the period from 1830's to the 1900's was the lumber baron era. In the early to mid 20th
century Muskegon became a bastion for heavy industry especially during the two World Wars,
that dominance in heavy manufacturing and the iron foundry industry continued through the
1960's. Because of the dramatic increase in fuel cost in the 1970's along with the increase in
foreign competition, many of the major employers of the community began to downsize and in
many cases actually shut their doors. The closing of many of the city's major employers created
a structural unemployment situation that the community is still attempting to rectify.
The city of Muskegon has experienced a higher unemployment rate than Muskegon County, the
state of Michigan and the country as a whole during the last thirty years. Although it is difficult
to gather actual information that gives the specific unemployment rate for minority and youth in
the City of Muskegon. It is common thought in the economic development and workforce
development field that the unemployment rate for minorities and youth is between 1.5 and 2
times the community's unemployment rate in urban settings like Muskegon.

In addition it is thought that a significant percentage of the city population can be classified as
the hidden unemployed. The new dictionary of Cultural Literacy defines the hidden unemployed
as "the unemployment or underemployment of workers that are not reflected in official
unemployment statistic because of the way they are compiled." Only those who have no work,
but are actively looking for work are counted as unemployed. Those who have given up looking,
those who are working less than they would like and those who work at jobs in which their skills
14
are under utilized are not officially counted as the months unemployed though in a sense they
are. These groups constitute hidden unemployment.

Lead Poisoning A Critical Issue for Michigan
Lead poisoning is a serious environmental illness that has life long effects on the individuals who
become lead poisoned and yet is entirely preventable. Lead poisoning in children may effect
their health and cognitive abilities casing permanent and irreversible damage. The lead that
accumulates in a child's body and brain may cause anemia, hearing loss, hyperactivity,
aggressive behavior, liver and kidney damage, development delay, difficulty with learning due to
loss of IQ, brain damage and in extreme cases, even coma and death.
The serious effects of lead poisoning affect the entire community, not just the child who becomes
lead poisoned. A child with diminished ability to learn will result in "years of productive life
lost" and need the assistance of public and private agencies to function in society. A child who
demonstrates aggressive delinquent behavior may become incarcerated utilizing scarce state
resources.
Currently, Michigan ranks as the sixth highest state in the terms of the estimated population of
children with lead poisoning and the percentage of children found in Michigan with elevated
blood lead levels remains higher than the national average. In 2003, more than 100,000 children
under age of six years were tested for blood lead status and 3,141 children were found to be lead
poisoned. Another 747 children with preliminary finding of elevated blood lead levels await
confirmation of their lead status.
Lead based paint was in common use for the interior and exterior of houses prior to 1950.
Between 1950 and 1978, the percentage of lead in paint utilized in housing gradually decreased
but it was not until 1978 that lead-based paint was banned for use in residential structures.

Lead Based Paint City of Muskegon
According to 2000 U.S. Census and the Michigan Department of Community Health 30% of the
homes in Muskegon were built before 1950, while in the city of Muskegon 68.4% of the housing
stock was built before 1950. Of the owner-occupied units 81% were built before 1950, while
52% of the rental units were built before 1959. This information is based on the 2000 census so
any units built after 1999 is not included in data.

The City of Muskegon was required to redesign its housing rehabilitation programs in order to be
in compliance with the HUD's federal guidelines. The City was forced to discontinue its popular
paint program because the additional requirements made it financial unfeasible. The other
rehabilitation program costs increased also, which decreased the number of households that the
City's Community and Neighborhood Services department was able to assist.
The City did work diligently to have staff persons cet1ified in lead base paint inspections and risk
assessors. The city also financed for approximately 100 contractors to obtain the Safe Work
Practice certification.
According to the information supplied by the Muskegon County Health Department, the City of
Muskegon's central neighborhoods census tracts 1 (Marquette), 2 (Jackson Hill), 3 (Angell), 5
(McLaughlin) 6.01 (South Nelson), 6.02 (Not1h Nelson), are some of the highest risk areas for
childhood lead poisoning in Muskegon County.
A review of children tested for lead reveals that the majority of children tested were in zip code
49442.

Needs of Persons Threatened with Homelessness
Housing is deemed "affordable" if persons are paying no more than 30% of their income towards
housing costs. According to the 2000 census, 1454 of specified owner-occupied units were
paying more than 30% of their income for housing cost, which represents 19.3% of the specified
owner-occupied households in Muskegon, according to the Census statistical equation. If we
took that same percentage to the total owner-occupied homeowners household who have
extremely low incomes (0 - 30% MFI) and pay half or more of their income on housing are the
group just at risk of becoming homeless. The continuing increase of housing cost and the
stagnant wages that many individuals and families at the lower rung of the economic ladder are
experiencing. As well as the continuous decline or lack of increase in the number of section 8
certificates or vouchers in Muskegon County.
The fair market rate for the Grand Rapids - Muskegon - Holland MSA is $796.00 for a 3
bedroom home or apartment. A household making $8.00 per hour would be required to work
99.5% hours during one week to make the rent for a fair market unit; while an individual would
need an income of approximately $16.50 per hour at a straight 40 hour week for a month. In
order to be able to afford to allocate 30% of their wages to housing in order to afford a fair
market 3-bedroom unit. Therefore someone with an income of just above minimum wage at
$6.00 per hour would need to work an unthinkable 440 hours per month to gross an income to
afford the fair market rent for 3 bedroom apartment.
18
Some of the mechanism that assist low income residents with their housing cost arc items like
rent or mmigage assistance, utility assistance, as well as factors that help an individual and or
family increase their earning potential. Some of those factors are education, employment
training, subsidize childcare and subsidize transportation cost. According to the 2000 census
approximately 6092 residents or 42% of the working population who don't work at home work
outside the city. The census also revealed that approximately 14 %of Muskegon households
don't have automobiles. Therefore, in order to improve an individual economic status
transportation is a major factor. According to the census, the median time to get to work is 19.9
minutes. The 2002 Analysis of Impediments to Fair housing Choice from the Muskegon
Metropolitan area listed the following factors as potential ban·iers to housing choice.
1. unpaid utility bills
2. credit rating
3. insufficient income
4. insufficient knowledge of availability of information
5. unstable job
It is obvious from what was gathered for this document that many of those same factors, if not
all, can also be factors to cause at-risk families to become homeless.
Anti-Poverty Strategy
The City of Muskegon anti-poverty strategy consist of four main components which included,
the development of affordable housing while helping to maintain and upgrade the city's existing
housing stock, the promotion and delivery of supportive services within the community as it
relates to the needs of the most fragile residents of the community to create an atmosphere that
attracts businesses, retains the existing businesses and support entrepreneurials and also to
promote access to health care and to promote healthy life style living for all residents.
Housing: This is the main building block of the city of Muskegon's anti-poverty strategy.
Without affordable and or quality housing the extremely-low and very low income households
will continue to pay large portions of their incomes on housing leaving little resources for the
other necessities such as food, utilities, clothing, transportation etc. Over the next five years, the
city will continue to work closely with entities that provide housing oppmiunities to the city of
Muskegon. Also when deemed in the best interest of the community, the city will work with
outside entities to increase the quantity of housing in the community both affordable and market
rate. As the city's housing rehabilitation funding remains available, the city will continue to
diligently make the available rehabilitation services to qualified residents.
Supportive Services: Many households benefit from the availability of supportive services.
Unfortunately, in most cases the public services find themselves in a position of more need than
funding available to meet the needs of their client base. It is hoped that funding will be available
to assist these impmiant programs as they attack the root cause of pove1iy.
Employment: As mentioned earlier in the plan, the city of Muskegon has had a higher
unemployment rate than the majority of the surrounding communities as well as the state of
19
Michigan and the county as a whole. By strengthening the local economy, by making it more
diverse all of the city's residents will find themselves in a better position to have the best quality
oflife. The city itself will increase its overall tax base and improve the image of the community.
Many local agencies that work with the low and moderate-income population will need to
connect. The residents with the programs that will help them obtain long-term employment. As
in most successful communities development projects it is imperative that many different
elements of the community are involved. Some of the main partners required are the business
community, nonprofits, education community, the faith base community and, of course,
government.
It is also important because a large portion of the city of Muskegon is under 25 years old that the
emphasis is started as early as possible. Some of the responses from the business community as
well as the workforce development community reinforce this point.
Health: In order to be productive and have a good quality of life, it is important to have positive
health. It is evident from the section of the plan that covered health in Muskegon County that
there is some health disparities. It is also evident that negative health can affect a person's
ability to be a good worker, neighbor and or homeowner. It also was noted that negative health
or a negative health style could affect a family for generations. Therefore, it is important that
when possible, the city of Muskegon partners with the health community in order to promote and
insist on a community of health styles. Therefore, the whole community can enjoy the positive
living of being a citizen of the city of Muskegon. Similar to the other anti-poverty strategies to
be most effective there should be collaboration across the community.
Elderly Frail
The 2000 Census identified $,977 persons age 65 and over. This account for 12.4 % of the total
population of the city of Muskegon. The percentage of 65 and over residents in Muskegon
County is slightly more than the city at 12.9%. Although the researcher was unable to find an
exact number to identify the city's or county's elderly frail, national statistics estimates the
frail/elderly population at 2 to 8% of the population over 60. By HUD's definition "frail"
includes persons who are unable to perform at least three activities of daily living (e.g. eating,
dressing bathing, grooming and household management activities). With the last of the
established baby boomers becoming sixty-five years old in 2,028, there will be a need to assist
the elderly populations in creative ways.
According to the commission on affordable housing and health facility needs for seniors in the
21st Century rising concerns about the cost of social security, Medicaid, Medicare and other
federal entitlement programs threaten housing stability and appropriate in home health care for
the elderly and frail elderly. The need to forage public private partnerships to deliver service and
housing to the elderly has become increasing impmiant. This is due to a number of issues
including the growth in the elderly population and the continued move away from
institutionalization toward more community-based care.

RE: Environmental Program Mowing and Trash Clean·
up Contract
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The contract for mowing of lots and trash clean up of public and private
properties previously held by Freelance Enterprises Inc. will expire on
March 28, 2005. A request for bids was advertised and two companies
placed bids. Freelance Enterprises is the low bidder for a two-year
agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The bids came in lower than the amounts paid under the previous
contract, this may lower the cities costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the contract and to authorize the mayor and City Clerk to
sign a 2-year agreement with Freelance Enterprises (see attachments),
for the mowing of lots and trash removal on properties located within the
city.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None
Planning Department
Memo
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
From: Mike Cameron, Acting Code Coordinator
Date: March 22, 2005
Re: Environmental mowing & trash contract bids
The request for bids resulted in two submissions from area contractors to perform the services needed.
The two bids for a two-year contract were as follows: Freelance Enterprises Inc., 1385 E. Keating,
which is in Muskegon Township. Their bids were $33.00 per hour for small mowing and trimming,
$39.00 per hour for tractor and brush hog mowers and $36.00 per hour for a trash pick-up crew. The
other bidder is Greenscapes of West Michigan LLC, 181 N. Getty, Muskegon. They submitted bids for
small mowing and trimming of $ 35.00 per hour, $41.00 per hour for tractor and brush hog mowers and
$37.00 per hour for a trash pick-up crew. Attached are copies of the bidding sheets submitted which will
also show the three-year bids.
Staffs recommendation is to accept the two-year bid with Freelance Enterprises as low bidder and not
a three-year bid for a number of reasons. The cost savings for a three year contract is minimal when
compared to the lowest two year bid and would have no savings impact on our mowing costs which is
a substantial portion of the contract. Beginning with last years season we began closely tracking the
hours and money spent on each individual Jot so benchmarks could be established for the Jots.
Unfortunately, last year was a very wet season causing the grass to grow rapidly and therefore more
time spent on each lot, additionally we ended up cutting some of the Jots more frequently. If we
committed to a two-year contract this would allow us time to continue to gather data that would better
reftect the normal summer season. With this data, we could get a better average of time and funds
spent on maintenance of the lots. Our use of this data would be to re-evaluate the way we are bidding
the upkeep of the lots and try to find a better method or Jess costly one. If one were found, it would be
to our advantage to be in a shorter-term agreement with our contractor.
The equipment list of Freelance Enterprises Inc. currently has all the needed equipment to perform the
needed tasks. The Equipment list of Greenscapes of West Michigan LLC indicates that they have the
required tractors and mowing decks, an adequate number of small mowers and trimmers. The Jist also
indicates they have trucks and trailers of a larger size than our minimum requirements which could
make it difficult to negotiate the tight alleys and places we commonly send our trash crews.
Greenscapes did not indicate any camera equipment in their bids as requested.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
From: DPW Staff
Date: 3/17/2005
Re: Street Sweeping-2005 Contract Extension
The Department of Public Works is requesting permission to exercise its contractual
option to enter into 1-year contractual extension agreement with TRI-US
SERVICES, INC, to provide street sweeping services for 2005, (as provided for in
our 2002-2004 contract proposal).
TRI-US SERVICES, INC. has proposed to extend the street sweeping contract for
2005, at an additional cost of$24,204.16 to the City of Muskegon ($113,662.24
verses $137.866.40), based on the following criteria:
1. Staff has increased sweeping mileage by approximately 2 miles due to the
construction of additional streets
2. Staff has eliminated two dump areas leaving only one location for the temporary
storage of street sweeping. This was necessary because of environmental
concerns. The elimination of the two storage sites leaves only one available
location and therefore adds increased travel time for each sweeper.
3. Additional fuel costs.
These first two increases have added more that 3 00 hours of additional billing costs
to contractor that were not in anticipated in previous contracts. These changes were
necessitated and were added by staff throughout the previous 2002-2004 contract.
TRI-US SERVICES, INC is also offering the following, during the proposed 2005
contract extension:
1. Lowering per hour sweeping charges from $90.00 per hour for State roadway
sweeping to $70.00 per hour.
2. Lowering local and major roadway per hour sweeping charges from $73.00 to
$70.00 per hour.
3. Lowering special sweeps from $1 00.00 per hour to $73.00 per hour.
1
March 17, 2005
TRI-US SERVICES, INC has provided a number of special sweepings, at our
request over years, sometimes at no charge to the City of Muskegon. They also have
provided our residents with excellent customer service and have met staffs'
changing requests, throughout previous contracts, time and again.

at a cost of $137,866.40 for 4 scheduled sweeps, as outlined by the previous 2002-
2004 contract. Under the existing 2002-2004 agreement TRI-US Services would bill
the City of Muskegon after each sweep an amount equal toY. ($28,415.56)of the total
yearly contract cost($113,662.24).
Under the proposed 12 month payment plan, the City of Muskegon Finance
Department will schedule payment with you, which is equal to 1/12 (approximately
$11 ,488.87) of the total yearly cost ($137,866.40). This payment program will start
from the beginning of the contract, as stipulated by the Finance Director.
Monthly invoices should be sent to the DPW stating hours worked and status of each
sweep. If special sweeping requests are required then these will be invoiced
separately as well.
Do not hesitate to call me at (231) 724-6993 with questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Doug Sayles
Public Works Superintendent
