their quarterly wage report with the quarterly
contribution report.
2. Changes in the amount of annual taxable payroll from
a specified amount for each member to the aggregate
for each member.
3. All members are required to pay 100% of a negative
account balance rather than 2/3 of the negative
balance, which resulted in insufficient funding.

SUBJECT: Michigan Municipal League Unemployment Group Account
Due to an oversight on my part, I filed away the information on the changes to the
unemployment group account contract. MML called recently to check on the status of the
contract and requested that the approval to the amended agreement be processed.

MUNICIPAL
Memorandum
To: Board of Trustees
From: Becky Briscoe
Date: 07/31/03
Subject: Revised Unemployment Membership Agreement_
Attached is the revised membership agreement between the Michigan Municipal
League Unemployment Group Account and the group account members. The language
in the agreement has been updated and also incorporates three important changes.
1. Commencing January 1, 2004, the Group Account will require all members to submit
a copy of their quarterly wage report (UC 1017) with their quarterly contribution
report. Currently information is not available for staff to audit the members taxable
payrolls. The quarterly wage report will provide staff with the information needed to
confirm that the taxable payrolls reported on the contribution form is accurate.
2. Previous agreements specified the amount of the annual taxable payroll to be used
by each member. Since the amount can change, the agreement was updated to the
following language. "The annual taxable payroll shall be the aggregate, set by the
Board of Trustees."
3. Effective to January 1, 2004, members will be required to pay 100% of any negative
balance upon notification of the Group Account. Historically the Group Account has
required that a member pay 2/3 of any negative balance. Paying 2/3 of the negative
balance proved to be insufficient to adequately fund the member accounts.
I respectfully request the approval of the revised agreement. Based on your approval,
all changes will be implemented for all activity commencing January 1, 2003.

Re: Obsolete Property Rehabilitation District and Certificate Request for MSBII
MSBII, LLC has submitted a request to establish an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation
District and request for an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Certificate in the amount of
$4,500,000. The request is for 715 Terrace Street, which is the former building started by
Westwood for National City Bank.
The requests pose a dilemma for staff due to several factors. Please consider carefully the
following information:
1. Technically the request meets the definition for an "obsolete prope1ty" in that it is a
"blighted property" . It meets this criteria because it "Has been declared a public
nuisance in accordance with a local housing, building, plumbing, fire or other related
code or ordinance". In other words, it has been placed on the dangerous building list.
2. The request meets our own City guidelines for Obsolete Property Rehabilitation
Districts, section 3.1 #2. "Completion of the rehabilitated facility ... will at the time
of issuance of the certificate have reasonable likelihood to increase commercial
activity, create employment, retain employment, prevent a loss of employment,
revitalize urban areas, ... " It would also have an "impact on property values in the
general area of the project" (3 .1 #11).
However, regardless of the above:
1. The definition in the legislation of "Rehabilitated Facility" is " a commercial property
... that has undergone rehabilitation or is in the process of being rehabilitated".
There wasn't a completed building on the site to be rehabilitated.
2. Other property owners in the downtown area have not been given the same
opportunity in the past.
3. Prospectively, it may encourage developers to start construction (or-remodeling),
delay completion, and then seek an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption
Certificate.

August 17, 2004
The decision on this issue is strictly up to the City Commission, and there is no appeal
process to the State available for the applicant.
Considering the circumstances, staff has concerns regarding the granting of both the
requests and recommends denial. If Commission feels it isn't in the best interest of the City
to grant an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate, it makes sense to
simply deny the request to establish the Obsolete Property Rehabilitation District, since it is
the only property involved in the request.

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

property at the commencement of the rehabilitation.
M. The City Commission determines that the applicant shall have twelve (12) months to

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION TO APPLICATION FOR
OBSOLETE PROPERTY REHABILITATION EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE
MSB 11,LLC
715 TERRACE, MUSKEGON
A) General description of the obsolete facility.
The obsolete facility is a partially-constructed two-storey office building located
at 715 Terrace in downtown of Muskegon. The project, which is built on a
contaminated site, failed under a previous developer and has been acquired by the
applicant. The site currently carries significant negative stigma due to the
project's history. The project has been idle for a period of time and the applicant
is working to restart and complete construction of the structure. Excessive costs
to relocate major infrastructure, however, put the project at risk. Also, the
obsolete facility faces aggressive competition for tenants in the downtown area
and is adjacent to a tax free renaissance zone.
B) General description of the proposed use of the rehabilitated facility.
The developer intends to create a Class A office building for general office
tenants (i.e., financial, legal, insurance, and brokerage).
C) . Description of the general nature and extent of the rehabilitation to be undertaken.
The extent of the rehabilitation is expected to be as follows:
l) Environmental BEA and Due Care Activities
2) Relocation of utility infrastructure
3) Demolition of portions of the building
4) Site improvements
5) New construction
6) New equipment and fixtures
D) A descriptive list of the fixed building equipment that will be a part of the
rehabilitated facility
HV AC systems
Elevators
Networking equipment
Furnaces
Electrical services
Telephone and data lines
Custom lighting
E) Time schedule for undertaking and completing the rehabilitation.
The project is expected to begin on or about October 15, 2004 and be completed
by or before October 15, 2005.
F) A statement of the economic advanages expected from the exemption.
The tax exemption is a vital component to the obsolete building because of the
market competition and office climate for downtown Muskegon. The exemption
will allow the building owner to offer more attractive lease terms to potential
tenants and strengthen the finanical viability of the project as a whole. The site is
highly visible and this development will promote additional economic
development in the immediate area. Furthermore, the building will complement
existing infrastructure the city has recently completed.

Operation: New Moon Rising
14
The site at 1638 Hoyt was a blighted burned out building for a number of years. The neighbors
in the area not only complained about the sight, but also complained about the awful smell that
came from the structure in the summer time.
Although the previous owner had said that he would rehabilitate the property for whatever
reason; it never got done. The City of Muskegon's Community and Neighborhood Services
negotiated with the former owner to gain ownership of the property. After gaining ownership,
the City demolished the burned out blighted structure and began to redevelop the site with a new
3-bedroom bungalow style home with a full basement and two-car garage.
On a site where less than a year ago there was a burnt out house spewing blight on the 1600
block of Hoyt, near Moon Elementary school, is a lovely new bungalow home with a very happy
new homeowner and her son.

Operation Jackson Hill Renewal Projects
One and Two-AKA Operation: W.G.LT.T.T. (We Got It Right This Time)
The Jackson Hill neighborhood, a central core neighborhood within the City of Muskegon, has
gone through many transitions since its original development. The 1970's saw the Jackson
Neighborhood become an Urban Renewal community. Many of the original homes were
demolished and the neighborhood was left with an abundance of vacant lots. In the last few
years, the Jackson Hill neighborhood has experience one of the most impressive renaissance in
the city. A significant number of those previous vacant lots now have homes on it because of the
commitment of the local Habitat for Humanity, Muskegon Housing Commission, the City of
Muskegon's Community and Neighborhood Services and several visional residents.
15
During 2003 - 2004, the City of Muskegon had two total rehabilitation projects in the Jackson
Hill neighborhood under the title Operation Jackson Hill Renewal Projects AKA Operation
WGIRTT (We Got ,, It Right This Time) We
got it right is just what we did. The first
project at 503 Octavius was a blighted
home that was on the City's dangerous
building list and if the home had been
demolished most of the residents probably
would not have been upset because of
the long negative history associated with
the home. Instead of doing the easy thing
and just tear down ,__ ,_, the home, the City of
Muskegon elected to totally rehabilitate the
structure. Now we llillll- ,ililC::S::1dl have a beautiful totally
rehabilitated home at 503 Octavius, which is now home to a husband, wife and their two teenage
children. It may not be the perfect ending, but is sure is darn close.
The house at 351 Erickson Operation WGIRTT Project #2 was a house that the City assisted one
of its CHDO's to obtain a few years ago, but unfortunately the CHDO was not able to complete
the project. So the City obtained the home and completed the project. The finish product is a
testament to why it is important that we preserve as much of old housing as possible. In a place
where a vacant lot could be, stands proudly a 2,500 square foot home with four bedrooms 3 and
½ baths and several features that would make HGTV envious. 351 Erickson is just another
component in the Jackson Hill renaissance and the City of Muskegon commitment to revitalizing
its neighborhoods.

The Wood Street Revival project was probably the City of Muskegon's Community and
Neighborhood Services office most ambitious project during the 2002-2003 fiscal year. The
home at 850 Wood had spewed blight on the Angell neighborhood for as long as most residents
can remember. But behind the chipping paint, boarded up windows and several layers of old
16
paint was a beautiful American Gothic home one of only two remaining in the city according to
our local historic district committee.
The City of Muskegon purchased the home at 850 Wood from John Wesley AME Zion Church
and began the process of revealing a diamond in the rough that resided at the corner of Wood and
Orchard. The results of _____ the rehabilitation were far
beyond what was envisioned by staff and the
selected contractor. The home at 850 Wood has
returned to its former majestic status with almost
every feature rehabilitated to its' original
glory. The home recently sold to a single
gentleman who is a recent new comer to the
Muskegon community. The beautiful home at 850
Wood is another true testament of what can be

invest its' funding and - - - - ~'"-- creative energy to a project
instead of looking at only the wreaking ball as the means to eliminate blight from a community.

Operation: At Long Last AKA Shangaliwa
For as long as most residents can remember, eight vacant dilapidated homes have sat in several
different neighborhoods throughout the city of Muskegon. Those houses were known to the
common population as the "City" houses, but were officially under the Turnkey 3 program
where the Muskegon Housing Commission originally obtained the infamous homes for total
rehabilitation and then homeownership. Unfortunately, the homes never were rehabilitated and
allowed to sit and become a blighting nemesis on their respective neighborhoods.
The City of Muskegon has worked diligently for a number of years to get the approval from the
U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to demolish those "eyesores". After
experiencing the pains and frustration of going through the bureaucratic maze that we've all
17
experienced at some time, the team of the City of Muskegon's Community and Neighborhood
Services, Neighborhood and Construction Services along with the Muskegon Housing
Commission were victorious after about three years. It goes to show diligence and persistence
always goes to the victor.
On a beautiful June day in the Angell neighborhood, the City of Muskegon sponsored a
neighborhood cook out to celebrate the first of eight demolitions. Shangaliwa is Swahili for
"time to celebrate" and celebrate was what we did. The patticipants consisted of City
Commissioners, neighborhood association presidents, City employees and the local neighbors
from throughout the city who were finally seeing one of eight bad neighbors leave their
neighborhoods forever. Everyone said "Shangaliwa!"
The next phase of Operation "At Long Last" was the building of the house at 1668 Beidler. Just
like all the other former : .:": ._. •';,;?:~~i/·' ·" /···•jf • Turnkey-3 sites, the
neighborhood had been i }.:.•.•. _ ,..

"HOWDY PARTNER!"
Webster defines the word partnership as "a contract entered into by two or more persons or
entities in which each agrees to furnish a part of the capital and labor for a business enterprise."
The City of Muskegon's Community and Neighborhood Services deprutment and Neighborhood
Investment Corporation (NIC), a Community Housing Development Organization (CHOO)
developed a paitnership during fiscal year 2003-2004. Its goal was to build two Infill homes in
the downtown area of Muskegon. The City allocated $40,000 of HOME funding per home. NIC
was able to secure funding from a number of other sources to bring the projects to fruition.
Some of the other sources were Michigan State Housing Development Authority - (MSHDA),
Federal Home Loan Bank and National City Bank. Both projects are completed and ru·e another
piece to the City of Muskegon's overall neighborhood revitalization eff01ts.

Affirmative Marketing Policy
The City's Affirmative Marketing Policy defines the responsibilities for activities funded by the
HOME Program to assure the furtherance of fair housing and equal job opportunity objectives.
In both instances, the policy refers to the effort to ensure that opportunities exist without regard
for race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Traditionally, this has meant publishing
information about availability of housing or job opportunities, through the use of the Equal
Housing Opportunity slogan or logo and the Equal Employer slogan. In the case of the City's
HOME Program, affirmative marketing also entails special outreach efforts to individuals or
classes that might not otherwise apply. The City of Muskegon will seek to assure compliance
with the terms of this plan through annual reviews of marketing activities.
Leveraging Resources: The City of Muskegon has been successful at leveraging additional
resources in several different ways. The City has been able to allocate funding to its CHDO's
and subrecipients who have been able to receive additional funding from state, local and private
entities. Most recently the City has partnered with the Neighborhood Investment Corporation in
combining resources to develop a rehabilitation fund for targeted prope1ties in the Nelson
neighborhood and also to combine resources in order to produce two new Infill houses in the
city's downtown area.
Evaluation: During fiscal year 2003-2004, the City of Muskegon has allocated a significant
amount of time supplying its staff and CHDO with technical assistance. Fiscal year 2003-2004
also revealed that although the number of emergency and siding projects declined somewhat, the
projects that were completed were larger in size and more comprehensive. The City has
continued to make a neighborhood impact in regards to its total rehabilitation program through
its HOME program, which has not only saved several structures in the community that were in
jeopardy of being demolished, but also established those structures as anchor projects in
reference to the areas overall neighborhood revitalization efforts. The City's Infill program
continues to not only eliminate blight from the area, but also increase the overall economic value
of the area as illustrated by the increase in economic condition factors in the neighborhoods
where Infill has taken place. The Infill program has brought young working families back to
neighborhoods where just a few years ago they were bypassed as possible areas to invest in. The
Infill program has shown non-subsidy home investors that these areas are excellent areas to
invest in, which is why we are seeing a true renaissance going on in many of our central
neighborhoods. Some of the changes that we are witnessing are initiatives from the private
market (e.g. the reopening of neighborhood stores) where significant renovations is being done
on private owned housing in both the owner-occupied and rental markets, as well as private
developers who have expressed interest in doing multiple housing.
Rental Inspections
The City's department of Neighborhood and Construction Services has an on going system for
inspection of all rental housing units on a four year basis, which is part of its overall housing
code enforcement program. There was two HOME assisted rental rehabilitated projects
committed and completed this fiscal year. There was four HOME rental rehabilitation
inspections conducted in 2003-2004.

Continuum of Care
The Muskegon County Continuum of Care Network is an integrated advocacy and service
delivery whose mission is to reduce homelessness and promote home permanence. The strategy
document articulates the planning process that frames the work of the network. It is a snapshot
of Muskegon County at a particular point in time. It reflects the best thinking of the service
providers, consumers and government agents who have participated in the network and will take
part in the next 12 months to reflects its priority to secure transitional supportive housing and
services with emphasis on 16-24 year old youth, disabled persons and families. The rationale for
these priorities is outlined in this continuum document and addressed in the MCCCN' s 2003
supportive housing proposal to HUD.
The Muskegon Continuum of Care has evolved from a funding document written by core
agencies (1997) to support unilateral programs. It is designed to integrate systems of
interdependent providers consisting of 57 formal members. The network has a protocol to
conduct business, hold standing meetings and develop formal referrals and universal intake
procedures. In 2001, the Network expanded membership to involve all key players. City
governments and the County of Muskegon are members of standing committees, as well as
funders, public housing providers and consumers. In addition to information sharing, the
standing committees routinely monitor the Continuum of Care Network's document and the
network strategies that it articulates. Through the strategy, the network will promote home
pe1manence and reduce homelessness.
The Network is coordinated through a steering committee that acts with direction from the
membership to ensure that the network is comprehensive and inclusive. The purpose of these
committees is to focus on specific critical components of the Network to insure accurate and
inclusive planning. The following is a description of those committees, their function and
membership.
• Emergency needs committee leads monthly 'miracles, case managers and emergency food
pantries. Meeting monthly to discuss the community's food, clothing and utility needs. This
group is chaired by an individual from Representative Peter Hoekstra's (U.S. House) office
and is staffed by the United Way through the Muskegon County FIA Emergency needs
program and FEMA. This linkage is critical for both distribution of resources and advocacy
members include food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, drop in centers, and church groups
who meet monthly to monitor the utilization and capacity of these resources.
Case managers meet monthly and include hands on case managers from a variety of
organizations. The committee serves as a "barrier buster" when obstacles are identified for
homeless individuals. In addition, this group has a strong advocacy mission bringing the
needs of the homeless to the steering committee, the full MCCCN and to the family
coordinating council.
Emergency and Transitional Sheltering meets quarterly to coordinate services and to
maximize available resources. Members include shelter providers and community advocacy
organizations (i.e. Community Action Against Poverty) and provides vital links to homeless
consumers. This group is focussed on operating a seamless system for homeless individuals
to support successful transition when issues or opportunities emerge. Group members hold
24
focus groups and key informant interviews with consumers for input. In addition, consumers
are often invited to work with the committee to create strategies and decision concerning
service delivery or issue advocacy.
• The Housing Consortium meets quarterly with a focus on permanent housing issues, capacity
and utilization of housing units, Section 8 performance and the integration of the Network
with the City of Muskegon Consolidated Plan as well as Muskegon Heights and Norton
Shores.
• The Health Committee is responsible to articulate both the health needs of homeless
individuals and strategies to meet those needs. It meets on an ad hoc basis. This group is
linked to the Muskegon Health Project that coordinates health coverage for the uninsured, MI
Child and other related outreach services systems.
During fiscal year 2003-2004 the Muskegon County Continuum of Care Network awarded a
total of$65,000 dollars for emergency shelter activities and those agencies that received funding
were
Bethany Housing $23,870
Every Women's Place/Webster House $27,749
West Michigan Therapy $13,581
Needs Impediments/Analysis
The results of the community survey conducted for this analysis indicates that across various
interest and geographic sections of the community, local perceptions of significant barriers to fair
housing choice in the Muskegon area are split between economic and social factors which are
frequently inter-connected and are not related or are indirectly related to those specific classes
and characteristic covered as matters of federal, state and local fair housing laws.
Taken as a whole survey respondents noted economic factor of insufficient income and poor
credit as significant barriers to housing choice and were relatively split (strong agreement vs.
strong disagreement) as to whether ones race ethnicity, family size or disability affected housing
choice. Related factors such as unstable employment and insufficient supply of affordable
housing are directly connected to widespread concern regarding income levels that are
inadequate to suppoti housing preferences and in the opinion of survey respondents, negatively
impact housing choices in the Muskegon area. Although such factors are not by definition
related to fair housing laws as written, they are strongly correlated to protected categories of
individuals with disabilities and are also reflected in the protected categories of families with
children and particularly racial and ethnic minority groups.
Survey results demonstrate that broader Muskegon community's belief is that economic factors
drive neighborhood segregation more significantly than do racial, ethnic or other characteristics,
with income disparity among racial and ethnic groups and persons with disabilities controlling
housing choice more than any other factor. The study recommends sustained outreach and
education efforts directed at housing industry professional and consumers and a corresponding
effort among government and advocacy organizations to present housing issues and information
25
is ways that increase levels of public awareness regarding housing support programs and their
role in overall community health.
The fundamental recommendations put fo1ih in the 2002 Analysis of Impediments to Fair
housing choice for the Muskegon, Michigan metropolitan area, fall into three main categories of
infonnation, education and enforcement.
The City is working diligently to assure that the community is supplied with the appropriate
infonnation concerning fair housing. We also are working to continue to educate the public on
fair housing issues. At this time a regional Fair Housing advocacy non-profit is being
established. The City of Muskegon awarded the agency seed money from the current CDBG
funding.
Affirmatively Further Fair Housing
As was stated in the 2001 - 2002 CAPER, the City of Muskegon was part of a consortium of
local housing providers that contracted with the Grand Rapids Fair Housing Center to have an
Impediment Study conducted in reference to Muskegon County. The consortium consisted of
the cities of Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, Norton Shores and Muskegon County.
The City of Muskegon has made that study available for the administration and all policy makers
as well as the public.
The City of Muskegon continues to make all of its housing programs available to the general
public. The City continues to market all its programs to the public with the fair housing emblem.
All of the housing projects being constructed by the City of Muskegon have signs at the sites
advertising the availability of the property, the phone number of the CNS office, the contractor
and / or contracted realtor. As mentioned earlier, the City of Muskegon advertises all of its
property in local newspapers including local minority publications.
The City of Muskegon housing programs are intended to assist the community in providing
affordable housing. The City's rental rehabilitation program is structured to not only improve
the quality of the available rental stock in the community but to assure that the housing remains
affordable. The City's Infill and rehabilitation programs objective is to create or recreate quality
housing within the inner city for homeownership. The City's Infill program is targeted to
citizens whose household income is between 75 and 80 percent of area median; while the City's
rehabilitation program is targeted to attract potential homebuyers that are at 30 percent of area
median or higher not to exceed 80 percent.
Homeless Prevention
The City of Muskegon is a "chartered" member of the Muskegon County Continuum of Care
Network in an effort to combine county resources to assist those citizens that are in jeopardy of
homelessness. The continuum meets monthly to share ideas and to assist each other in items like
grant writing, knowledge distribution and inventory analysis.
26
The City also contributes $2,500 of their yearly administration funding to the local "IHELP
Project" which supplies a local database of service providers (www.ihelp-westmi.info). A
homeless person can contact the !HELP system by home computer or local kiosk.
The City of Muskegon continues to supply HOME funds to Bethany Housing Ministries for their
transitional housing program. Bethany Housing program objective is to support individual
families from the transition of being homeless to the point of self-sufficiency.
The City's CHDO's have programs whose objectives are to assist low-income residents from
homelessness. Neighborhood Investment Corporation has a very aggressive homeowner rehab
program to assist local residents especially seniors with home repairs by having the particular
items repaired at an affordable rate, hopefully, reducing the possibility of the homeowner losing
possession of the prope1iy. Habitat for Humanity assists very low-income families with
becoming homeowners. Many of Habitats clients spend less of their income as homeowners than
they did as renters. The City of Muskegon's emergency repair program is geared to assist
homeowners eliminate housing problems. Without help, problems could become too costly and
force the property owner to desert the structure and possibly become homeless.
Recruitment of Local Minority and Female Contractors
The City of Muskegon's Community and Neighborhood Services office has worked diligently in
the last three years to improve the number oflocal contractors especially those that are owned by
minorities or females. The CNS office encourages all contractors awarded jobs with the City to
meet the goal of 14% of their staff being minority, female and or residents of Muskegon County.
All contractors are required to supply a workforce analysis of their staff with demographic
information that includes their stated race or ethnicity, sex and address. No financial allotments
are to be release without the department receiving the workforce analysis.
During fiscal year 2003-2004 the City of Muskegon's Community and Neighborhood Services
awarded a total of five contracts for new construction and total rehabilitation projects (three
rehabilitation and two new constructions). Of the five contracts, one was awarded to a minority
builder. Some of the mechanisms that the City of Muskegon has used to increase its outreach to
local and minority businesses are advertising in minority newspapers and the areas only urban
formatted radio station; presentations to the local ethnic associations and churches, attending
housing fairs, having open houses at completed projects and poster board advertisement in front
of housing projects during construction period. The City of Muskegon's CNS staff was able to
contract with a number of local and minority businesses in several different areas during fiscal
year 2003-2004. (see below)

Lead Based Paint
The City of Muskegon has made it policy that any home assisted by the department that is not
being assisted under the emergency program must be tested for lead based paint. A risk
assessment is conducted to detem1ine if any hazard evidence of lead exist. If so, the City then
contracts with a licensed abatement firm to have the lead properly removed. A clearance must be
conducted at the end of the project to assure that there is no evidence of harmful lead remaining
in the structure. The City has worked diligently to train area contractors concerning the lead
based paint issue as well as the CNS rehabilitation staff. The lead base paint activity for last
fiscal year was the following:

Impact Analysis for Fiscal Year 2003 - 2004
The City of Muskegon mission for the last few years has been to make a significant impact on
our neighborhoods through our Infill and total rehabilitation construction program, as well as
through our vinyl siding and emergency repair programs. The focus of the programs are to
eliminate blight from the neighborhoods while simultaneously increasing the overall tax base and
preserving the exiting housing stock. Below is the list of the projects rehabilitated or constructed
through the HOME program the structure or parcel value before the improvement and the value

Infrastructure Improvements
For a number of years the City of Muskegon has been working to improve its aging
infrastructure. In order to meet that objective and not put a significant burden on our low-
income homeowners, the City has a special assessment assistance program to eligible owner-
occupied residence through the use of the City's Community Development Block Grant
entitlement. A total of I 01 residents were assisted last fiscal year. A total of 22,467 of new
linear feet of street were installed and approximately 30,561.30 total square feet of sidewalk
square feet were replaced.
Local Economic Impact
The City of Muskegon has also made a conscience effort to make an impact on the local
economy through the use of both the CDBG and HOME entitlement. During fiscal year 2003-
2004, the CNS office awarded a total of $1,008,293.32 to contractors, vendors, suppliers and
service providers. Of that $1,008,293 of funding, $849,214.57 or 84.2% was awarded to local
businesses (businesses located within Muskegon County). A total of$ 139,092.32 was awarded
to businesses that were minority owned a percentage of the aggregate of 13.77%.
Even though the 2003-2004 fiscal year was a somewhat sluggish year economically for the
Muskegon community, the impact of the City's CDBG/HOME development, redevelopment and
the externalities that derived from those activities had a significant impact on the community
monetarily, economically and physically.

Re: Sidewalk Replacement Program for 2004
Attached is a letter that we have received from the property owner at 1525 James St.
expressing concern over the assessment amount against that property.
Also attached are a copies of the notification letter we originally sent back in June of 2003
describing the defective drive approach, the detailed charges for the work performed, and the
confirmation letter showing the total assessment.
In the first notification letter, it was pointed out that, a 21.3 square yard drive approach was in
need of replacement. The letter states "the City will complete the work and assess the
associated costs to you". The actual assessment amount of $1,124.94 (removal,
construction and engineering charges) was based on 23.17 square yards of concrete. As
you can see, the square yard quantity did not change by much.
The figure that the property owner is referring to may have been the results of
miscommunication due to failure to take into account the engineering costs and removal
costs.

Re: H-1572 24-611-000-0337-0
Since you never advised even an estimate on what the charges would be to replace the drive approach, I
called your office in April and was told I could expect this to be between $600-700, while this was not
exact, it was a "close estimate". I have a single car width drive. After a very long period of unemploymeut
and just starting to work again, I had very little options but to go along with this. Imagine my surprise to
receive a bill for $1,124.94, more than $400 what I was quoted. This was a gravy job for a contractor to
come in and do, they are hardly 'affordable.'
It was bad enough to have you make the decision based on someone's assumption that a tiny corner of my
approach, where it collllects to the street, was¾" too high, an area, by the way so close to the curb it would
be almost impossible for it to be a danger to anyone.
I would appreciate knowing how it jumped so high in such a short period. While I callllot miss work to be
at this meeting on 8/24, I can certainly write to express my opinion about the charges incurred.

RE: Special Assessment roll: H-1572
Address: Vacant Lot 1330 Wesley,
Parcel#: 24-611-000-0257-00
Dear Muskegon City Commission
Regarding the above parcel, we object to special assessment in the amount of $1,247.29.
Prior to the beginning of this project, this drive approach was in acceptable condition. However,
during construction, it became apparent that the contractor's heavy equipment had broken off a
corner of the drive approach.
This matter was discussed with a representative of the contractor and we were informed that the
problem would be rectified. It is now apparent that the correction was to replace the approach
and assess us for the repair. This is not acceptable.
Before construction, this drive approach was in better condition than others that were not
replaced. As the decision to replace it was made by the contractor as a way to resolve their
mistake, we believe that we should not be charged.
Again, as the replacement was necessitated by contractor error and not due to general
deterioration, the cost ofreplacement should be born by the contractor, not the owner. Therefore
we object to the special assessment.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely /J (PJ Rt~Cll~

Muskegon, Ml 49442
Regarding the drive approach at the vacant lot east of my house at 1322 Wesley, I
observed the following.
The drive approach that was replaced was in better condition than the drive approach
at my house which was determined did not need replacing.
I observed that the contractor's equipment broke off a corner of the drive approach
during construction.
I know that a representative of the property owner discussed this matter with the
contractor.
The owner of the property should not be charged for the replacement as there was
nothing wrong with the drive approach prior to the contractor's error.
Sincerely
