G. Procurement of Police Patrol Rifles. PUBLIC SAFETY
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Muskegon Police Department currently has in its
possession two (2) Thompson and four (4) Uzi machine guns. The department has
been in possession of these weapons for many yeprs. While these weapons are of
great interest to collectors, they are useless as to our needs. At this same time, we
are in need of replacing our current stock of patrol shotguns and there are a number
of reasons for doing so.
First, the shotguns are aging and require a great deal of care. Secondly, the shotgun
is heavy and can be difficult for many of us to handle. In this regard, I also have
concerns about the control of pellets or a slug when the shotgun is fired. Finally, our
current patrol-level tactical training calls for the use of a rifle. We are currently
training patrol officers in what is known as "Active Shooter" situations. Primarily
designed to prepare officers to respond to shooting incidents in schools or businesses,
it calls for the use of an accurate shoulder-fired weapon. The shotgun does not
meet this need.
Realizing that we do not have the funds to purchase such weapons, our Firearms
Training Team has been talking with collectors and dealers. Some have offered to
purchase the machine guns while others have offered to us a variety of trades.
Recently we were contacted by Cinema Weaponry LLC of Glendale, California. This
company provides weapons for the movie industry. Cinema Weaponry has offered
to trade to us twenty (20) new Colt Law enforcement M4 semi-automatic carbines
with accessories in return for the six machine guns. They would also pay for the
shipping costs. Our firearms team had already settled on the M4 as the rifle of choice
and has recommended to me that this trade would meet our needs. The purchase
price of an M4 is approximately $950. Therefore, this trade would result in a savings to
us of $19,000 if we were to have to purchase these rifles.
We have been in contact with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in
regards to this transaction. They have advised us that this trade is legal and will
provide guidance with the appropriate paperwork. I have also asked our City
Attorney to review this transaction and to assist us with the appropriate legal
agreement.
To us during these tight budget times it makes sense to trade these weapons that we
will never be able to use for weapons that we can use. We ask for your
consideration in approving this trade.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consideration of this request.

Resolution No. 2005-35(a)
Resolution At First Hearing Creating Special Assessment District
For Ireland, Davis to Franklin
Location and Description of Properties to be Assessed:
See Exhibit A attached to this resolution
RECITALS:
1. A hearing has been held on March 22, 2005 at 5:30 o'clock p.m. at the City
Commission Chambers. Notice was given by mail and publication as required by
law.
2. That estimates of costs of the project, a feasibility report and valuation and benefit
information are on file with the City and have been reviewed for this hearing.
3. At the hearing held March 22, 2005, there were 56.41% objections by the owners of the
property in the district registered at the hearing either in writing received before or at the
hearing or by owners or agents present at the hearing, and the Commission has
considered the advisability of proceeding with the project.
FINDINGS:
1. The City Commission has examined the estimates of cost to construct the project
including all assessable expenses and determines them to be reasonable.
2. The City Commission has considered the value of the property to be assessed and the
value of the benefit to be received by each property proposed to be assessed in the district
after the improvements have been made. The City Commission determines that the
assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the value of the properties to be
assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the improvement
thereby constitutes a benefit to the property.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The City Commission hereby declares a special assessment district to include the
property set forth in Exhibit A attached to this resolution.
2. The City Commission determines to proceed with the improvements as set forth in the

that approximately 38.23% of the cost of the street improvement will be paid by special
assessments.
5. Upon submission of the special assessment roll, the City staff is hereby directed to notify
all owners and persons interested in properties to be assessed of the hearing at which the
City Commission will consider confirmation of the special assessment roll.

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
Ireland, Davis to Franklin
The rehabilitation of Ireland between Davis & Franklin, see attached exhibit for location, was
initiated by the City as per the adopted the 2005 CJP. This section of road was identified by staff
due to its surface and subsurface conditions. The road surface has a lot of patches due to poor
drainage and utility work. As for the subsurface conditions, the existing watermain system has
required numerous calls for repairs to the services as well as the main itself. The age and type of
sub-surface soils (clay) have played a significant roll in the deterioration of both surface & sub-
service conditions. The proposed work consists of removal of the sub-base material (aggregate)
and saving the existing curbs, for the most part, unless replacement is necessary to enhance
drainage or to facilitate the construction of a sidewalk ramps. The proposed improvements
(Major-Rehabilitation) consist of following;
1. Complete removal of existing pavement, without removing curbs & gutters) and replace with
a new asphalt street section that would include new sub-base material.
2. replace water main and services
3. minor storm sewer work
4. minor sanitary sewer work
Completing this proposed project would address at least the following 2004-2005 goals;
1. Develop & Maintain City's infrastructure and facilities
2. Maintain & enhance the residential neighborhood of the City
3. Blight Fight
A memo from the Assessor's ot1ice, which addresses the appraisal and benefit information, is
attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is $121,000 with the length of
the project being approximately 1100 lineal feet (project length) or 1594.82 of assessable
footage. This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $76 per assessable foot. The
assessment figure will be at a cost not to exceed $29.00 per assessable foot as established in the
2005 Special Assessment Rates for this type of improvement
Similar to Pine Street, It is worth stating that the final assessment at the time of spreading the roll
(upon completion of the construction) is expected to be well below the $29 per foot due to the
newly enacted policy of not assessing more than 25% of the actual costs associated with the
project pavement. As you can see in the resolution, the percentage is well above the 25% limits
and therefore, upon completion and when spreading the roll comes up, I fully expect the per foot
cost to drop down the mid twenty dollars per assessable foot

this special assessment district by identifYing and quantifYing any accrued benefits. It

is subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power
and eminent domain. The effective date is March 9, 2005.
Robert Scolnik
District 11 In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this
I. John Snider II project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated value enhancement
District 3
and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in property values due
Nancy A. Waters to an improved quality oflife created by the proposed project. As previously
District 6 presented, the proposed special assessment district encompasses primarily residential
Stephen R. Wisniewski properties. The front foot rate of $29.00 for the above mentioned project area appears
District 1 reasonable in light of an analysis that indicates a possible enhancement of$31.25. The
conclusions are based upon the data presented within this limited analysis in restricted
format, and on supporting information in my files.

The City of Muskegon is asking for your support for improvement of the street adjoining your
property located at PROPERTY ADDRESS.
The City of Muskegon believes that by making the proposed street improvements you will
have less road noise, dust, and wear and tear on your vehicle. In addition, street
improvements provide easier access for delivery of services such as snow plowing, mail
delivery, and bus service.
Called a special assessment district, the largest percentage of the proposed street
improvement will be paid for by the City of Muskegon (via local funds and or grants); however,
it will be necessary for you to cover a share of the cost (which you can spread over a period of
ten years) based on the amount of property you own bordering the street. A description of the
project, including the associated cost to you and the City, is located in the documents
attached to this letter.
While the City of Muskegon believes that the proposed improvements will result in a safer and
cleaner street while adding curb appeal to your property, you do have the right to ask further
questions or protest participation in this particular project. Please carefully review the
enclosed materials and call the City's Engineering Department at 724-6707 if you require
more information.
A public hearing is also scheduled for this project on MARCH 22, 2005. If you attend this
public hearing you will be given an opportunity to make comments on the proposed special
assessment district to the commission. ·
Also located in this packet of materials is a Special Assessment Hearing Response Card. If
mailed back to the City of Muskegon City Clerk's Office before the scheduled public hearing
your vote will be added to the tabulation of votes during the public hearing. If you do not send
in this form your vote counts as "in favor" of the project.
Thank you for your participation in improving the quality of life in the Muskegon community.

NOTICE OF HEARING ON SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
Dear Property Owner:
The Muskegon City Commission is considering whether or not to create a special
assessment district which would assess your property for the following paving project:
IRELAND AVE .. FRANKLIN ST. TO DAVIS ST.
The proposed special assessment district will be located as follows:
All parcels abutting Ireland Ave. from Franklin St. to Davis St.
It is proposed that a portion of the above improvement will be paid by special
assessment against properties in the aforementioned district. Following are conditions
of the proposed special assessment which are important to you.
Public Hearings
An initial public hearing to consider the creation of a special assessment district will be
held at the City of Muskegon City Commission Chambers on MARCH 22, 2005 at 5:30
P.M. You are encouraged to appear at this hearing, either in person, by agent or in
writing to express your opinion, approval, or objection concerning the proposed special
assessment. We are enclosing a Hearing Response Card for you to indicate your
agreement or opposition to the special assessment. This card includes the property
identification and description, assessable footage per City policy, and the estimated cost
of the assessment. You may also appear, as above, in lieu of, or in addition to mailing
your response card to the City Clerk. Written objections or appearances must be made
at or prior to the hearing. NOTE: THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT WILL BE CREATED
OR NULLIFIED AT THIS HEARING. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO COMMENT AT
THIS HEARING IF YOU WANT YOUR OPINION COUNTED FOR THE SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT.
A second public hearing will be held, if the district is created, to confirm the special
assessment roll after the project is completed. You will be mailed a separate notice for
the second hearing. At this second hearing the special assessment costs will be spread
on the affected properties accordingly. YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT YOU
HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTEST YOUR ASSESSMENT AMOUNT AGAINST YOUR
PARCEL EITHER IN WRITING OR IN PERSON AT THIS HEARING. IF THE SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT ROLL IS CONFIRMED AT THE SECOND HEARING, YOU WILL HAVE
THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF CONFIRMATION OF THE ROLL TO FILE A
WRITTEN APPEAL WITH THE MICHIGAN STATE TAX TRIBUNAL. HOWEVER,
UNLESS YOU PROTEST AT THE INITIAL HEARING OR AT THE SECOND HEARING
CONFIRMING THE ROLL, EITHER IN PERSON, BY AGENT, OR IN WRITING
BEFORE OR AT THE HEARING, YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL TO THE MICHIGAN TAX
TRIBUNAL WILL BE LOST.
By City Charter, if the owners of more than one-half of the properties to be assessed
shall object to the assessment in writing at or before the hearing, the improvement shall
not be made unless the City Commission determines by affirmative vote of all its
members that the safety or health of the public necessitates the improvement.
Estimated Costs
The total estimated cost of the street portion of the project is $121 ,000.00 of which
approximately 38.227% ($46,249.78) will be paid by special assessment to property
owners. Your property's estimated share of the special assessment is shown on the
attached hearing response card. The remaining costs will be paid by the City.
The street assessment, which covers improvements to the roadway, may be paid in
installments over a period of up to ten (10) years. Any work on drive approaches or
sidewalks will be assessed to the property at actual contract prices and these costs may
also be paid in installments over ten (10) years. Please note this work is in addition to
the street special assessment.
Please refer to the enclosed sheet entitled Special Assessment Payment Options for
more information on the payment options and financial assistance programs available.
I urge you to return the enclosed hearing response card indicating your preference and
to attend the scheduled public hearing. Your views are important to the City and to your
neighbors. Additional information, including preliminary project plans and cost
estimates is available in the Engineering Department located on the second floor of City

SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS
IN AN EFFORT TOWARDS NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT, the Muskegon City
Commission is proposing that special assessment districts be created for the following projects:
IRELAND AVE., DAVIS ST. TO FRANKLIN ST.
AND
FRANKLIN ST., LAKETON AVE. TO IRELAND AVE.
The specific locations of the special assessment districts and the properties proposed to be
assessed are:
All parcels abutting Ireland Ave. from Davis St. to Franklin St.
And
All parcels abutting Franklin St. from Laketon Ave. to Ireland Ave.
The City Commission proposes that the City and property owners by means of special
assessments will share the cost of improvement. You may examine preliminary plans and cost
estimates in the City Hall's Engineering Depatiment during regular business hours- between
8:00A.M. and 5:00P.M. on weekdays, except holidays.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD IN THE MUSKEGON
CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS ON MARCH 22, 2005 AT 5:30 O'CLOCK P.M
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTEST YOUR
ASSESSMENT EITHER IN WRITING OR IN PERSON AT THE HEARING. IF THE
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT ROLL IS CONFIRMED (AT A LATER HEARING) YOU WILL
HAVE THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE ROLL'S CONFIRMATION TO
FILE A WRITTEN APPEAL WITH THE MICHIGAN STATE TAX TRIBUNAL.
HOWEVER, UNLESS YOU PROTEST AT THIS HEARING OR AT THE HEARING
CONFIRMING THE ROLL, EITHER IN PERSON, BY YOUR AGENT OR
REPRESENTATIVE, OR IN WRITING BEFORE OR AT THE HEARING, YOUR RIGHT TO
APPEAL TO THE MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL WILL BE LOST.
By City Charter, if the owners of more than one-half of the property to be assessed shall
object to the assessment in writing at or before the hearing, the improvement shall not be
made unless the City Commission determines by affirmative vote of all its members that the
safety or health of the public necessitates the improvement.
PUBLISH: March 12, 2005 Gail Kundinger, City Clerk

Special Assessment Payment Options
Property owners in the City of Muskegon who are being specially assessed for street, sidewalk or other public
improvements may pay their assessment in the following ways:
I. Lump Sum Payment in Full
Assessments may be paid in full within sixty (60) days of the confirmation of the special assessment roll
without interest.
II. Installment Payments
Assessments not paid within the first sixty (60) days may be paid in installments over several years as follows:
Street and Alley Assessments- Ten (10) years equal annual principal payments. For example, if the
amount of your assessment is $850.00, you will be billed $85.00 per year plus applicable interest as
described below.
Driveway, Sidewalk, and Approach Assessments- Ten (10) years equal annual principal payments
plus applicable interest as described below.
Interest- Simple interest is charged at the rate of 5.00% per year unless the City has borrowed money
to complete the project for which you are assessed and has pledged you assessments for repayment of
the borrowed money. In such cases, the interest you are charged is equal to the interest rate the City
must pay on the borrowed money plus 1.00%.
Ill. Special Assessment Deferral (Low Income Seniors and Disabled Persons}
To qualify for a special assessment deferral you or your spouse (if jointly owned) must:
• Be 65 years or older or be totally or permanently disabled.
• Have been a Michigan resident for five (5) years or more and have owned and occupied the homestead
being assessed for five (5) years or more.
• Be a citizen of the U.S.
• Have a total household income not in excess of $16,823.00
• Have a special assessment of $300.00 or more.
Under this program the State of Michigan will pay the entire balance owing of the special assessment,
including delinquent, current, and further installments. At the time of payment a lien will be recorded on your
property in favor of the State of Michigan. Repayment to the State must be made at the time the property is
sold or transferred or after the death of the owner(s). During the time the special assessment is deferred
interest is accrued at the rate of 6.00% per year.
IV. Further Information About the Above Programs
Further information about any of the above payment options may be obtained by calling either the City
Assessor's Office at 724-6708 or the City Treasurer's Office at 724-6720. Applications may be obtained at
the Muskegon County Equalization Office in the Muskegon County building or City of Muskegon Assessor's
Office in City Hall.
V. Additional Special Assessment Payment Assistance
Qualified low and moderate income homeowners who are being assessed may be eligible for payment
assistance through the City of Muskegon Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Assistance
from this program will be available to the extent that funds are available. To obtain further information and
determine whether you are eligible, contact the Community and Neighborhood Services Department at
724-6717.

authority for the~ fees for the remainder of their fiscal year if the road authority objects because the
increase was not included in their budget for this year.
The Michigan Railroads Association asked Rep. Allen to introduce House Bill 4234. Therefore, I ask that
you rake a minute to send a thank you letter to him for introducing and pushing this legislation through
which v.illmcrease by 23% the amount railroads will be able to receive from road authorities to maintain
safety enhancements at highway/rail grade crossings. Rep. Allen's mailing address is:

RE: RC Productions, Inc./1756 Lakeshore Drive
Lake Express Request for Public Right-of-Way Encroachment Permit
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is written on behalf of RC Productions, Inc. who owns propmiy located at
1756 Lakeshore Drive, in anticipation of the filing of an Application for Permission to
Encroach Upon the Public Right-Of-Way to erect a sign on Laketon Drive by Lake
Express.
RC Productions is opposed to granting of such permission based upon the following:
I. The City of Muskegon has in the past in connection with the business
operated by RC Productions and other businesses in the area, been strict in the
enforcement of its sign ordinances. RC Productions was required to "jump through
several hoops" just to get its sign approved which is on site and well outside of the right-
of-way area. The City should not now decide to change its policies with which
everybody else has had to comply with.
2. The location of the sign in the public right-of-way creates not only clutter
but also with its close proximity with the roadway creates a dangerous situation for
traffic.
3. Alternate sites are available to Lake Express for the construction and
maintenance of a sign which do not involve encroaching on public right-of-way and
therefore no hardship or necessity exists.
City of Muskegon
March 8, 2005

4. The request does not meet the criteria for a permit.
We are requesting that you advise us in writing as to time and place of any hearing to be
held on the above application.

3 through 6 of the project.

students and parents that would tie in with a City sponsored event: Summer
Celebration, hockey game, special meeting, ribbon-cutting, employee
appreciation, etc.

Memo
To: Lee Slaughter, City of Muskegon
From: Linda Riepma, Muskegon Public Schools, phone 720-2039, email
lriepma@mpsk 12.net
Date: March 28, 2005
Thank you for consenting to discuss the City of Muskegon becoming a partner in a new
federal competitive GEAR UP 2011 proposal I am writing on behalf of seventh grade
cohorts of students at Bunker, Steele, Muskegon Heights, and Holton Middle Schools.
As you know, we will propose using the LEAD 2005 model to work with students and
their families in this expanded program. I have asked the Muskegon Heights and Holton
participants to contact their local governments for partnering as well. As we put this
proposal together, we are not so concerned with the amount of in kind match the partners
bring to the table as we are having the appropriate partners to show that the success of
this project is a community effort; in effect, "it takes a village to raise a child".
We would like the City of Muskegon to considering the following services and activities
within the partnership over the six years of the project, and to have the City determine the
appropriate match dollar values of portions of staff members' time and the costs of
particular activities proposed. I offer the suggestions and examples below without
actually knowing how particular city responsibilities and activities work, of course.
• Dedicating a portion of time of a city staff member as a liaison with the GEAR
UP 2011 program to coordinate individual student job shadowing and career
mentoring requests in years 3 through 6 of the project, as many of our students are
interested in an array of public service careers. We would coordinate with that
person so that students' needs would be met without over-taxing city staff
members.
• Providing a venue and collaborative coordination for an event in years 1 and 2 for
students and parents that would tie in with a City sponsored event: Summer
Celebration, hockey game, special meeting, ribbon-cutting, etc. Cost would be
for the time of a City staff person as collaborator, any costs for "rent" of a venue
that would be waived, or other small contributed items( for example, if we had a
family picnic at Heritage Landing in June and gave away a couple of donated
Summer Celebration concert tickets in a drawing).
• Providing two mini-leadership skills seminars for students during two summers,
likely in year two and four, including presentations and knowledge about city
government, citizen voice, and operations of various Boards and departments.
Seminar to include student presence at appropriate city meetings. Costs would be
for the time of a city staff member to coordinate and various other city staffers to
make mini-presentations. Being in a seminar like this would be a great line on a
student's college entrance application.
• In return for city services above, GEAR UP 2011 students would provide
volunteer services at City activities, as they need good experiences in
volunteering to build community and contribute to their accomplishments.
Thank you again!
