MOTION PASSED
b. Liability/Property Insurance Renewal. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To renew the City's liability and property insurance coverage
with the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Association (MMRMA), an
intergovernmental self-insurance pool representing more than 300 Michigan
municipalities. Since 1986 the City has had liability coverage through the MMRMA; in
1999 property coverage was added. The City is coming off a three-year fixed rate
contract with MMRMA during which time the insurance industry was rocked by both the
stock market collapse and the 9 / 11 terrorist attack. Therefore, a significant renewal
rate increase was not unexpected.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total contribution of $856,599 comprised of two components:
$594,515 fixed insurance costs and $262,084 contribution to the City's self-insured
retention fund. The fixed insurance costs represent a 29% increase over 2002 costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. The City's 2003 budget anticipated a 24% premium
increase. Since the quoted renewal (29% increase) is for a twelve month period ended
March 1, 2004, only ten months of the higher premium will impact FY 2003 so the
current budget is adequate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Renewal of liability and property insurance coverage with
MMRMA. Staff believes that intergovernmental procurement of insurance coverage is
most cost-effective approach. Moreover, the MMRMA program has the broadest
coverage available to Michigan municipalities and the City's past experience with the
program has been very positive.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None.
Motion by Commissioner Larson, second by Commissioner Gawron to renew coverage
for Liability/Property Insurance with Michigan Municipal Risk Management
Association.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Gawron, Larson, Schweifler, Shepherd, Spataro, Warmington,
Buie
Nays: None
MOTION PASSED

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To obtain approval of the City Commission to allow letters of
appeal from residents for the Board of Review to act upon.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution.
Motion by Commissioner Schweifler, second by Vice Mayor Buie to allow letters of
appeal from residents for the Board of Review to act upon.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Larson, Schweifler, Shepherd, Spataro, Warmington, Buie,
Gawron
Nays: None

CITY OF MUSKEGON
FLAG PLACEMENT POLICY
2001-139 ( b)
A. Purpose
To provide a procedure to consider requests to the City to fly flags on City owned
or occupied property or facilities (herein "City property"). The flying of the
United States of America, State of Michigan, the County of Muskegon and the
City of Muskegon flags are exempt (except as set forth herein), from this policy
and can be flown on City property or at City property by authorized City
employees or officials.
B. City Control of Flag Placement.
Except as permitted by the City Commission or City staff members with
authority, no flag, including "exempt" flags shall be placed on City property by
any person except authorized city employees or officials. The procedures and
standards set forth in this policy document shall govern the City's decision to
permit or deny permission to have a particular flag flown or displayed on City
property.
The flying of flags on City property is peculiarly within the prerogatives of the
City. Flags which are permitted to be flown on City property have the effect of
representing to the community the City's support-for the organization or point of
view which is represented by the flag. The City reserves the right to refuse or
terminate the flying of any flag for the reason that unintended endorsements by
the City shall not result from this policy. It is this concern, together with the
City's acknowledgement that the flying of flags is a form of speech, which shall
guide the City in administering this policy.
C. Review Process. The Procedure.
1. Request
A request to fly a flag(s) must be submitted in writing to the City Clerk at
least 3 0 days prior to when the flag is proposed to be raised. The request
shall state in writing:
a.. All the reasons for the request.
b. Describe and display the flag, which shaUnot be changed in the
event permission is given.
G:\EDSI\FILES\00 I 00\0850 l l\RESOLUT\9V6160.DOC
c. State the name, address, and the names and addresses of all the .
officers, of the organization submitting the request. Indicate the
legal form of organization, and the name and address of the contact
person who shall be responsible for the flag's condition and
presentation.
d. State the period for which the flag is requested to be flown.
e. The desired location. (Locations shall be determined by the
City based on availability and ability to display the flag without
infringing on the display by others, including the City itself).
2. City Staff Review
The City staff will review the request and mal{e a recommendation to the
City Commission based on the following:
a. Appropriateness of the organization and the flag. Flags which
support illegal activities, take political positions or support
candidates for any office, advocate against City policies or involve
obscene language, symbols or activities are prohibited.
b. The number of other flags already approved.
c. The availability oflocations. - -
d. The time period during which the flag shall be permitted to be
flown on City property. No permission shall be given for
permanent flag placement. In the event an applicant desires a
longer time period than that granted, renewal applications shall be
submitted at least 30 days before the end of the initial period in
order to afford the City Commission opportunity to decide on the
extension.
D. City Commission Consideration and Decision.
The City Commission will consider the request after the review and
recommendation from City staff. The City Commission will consider the
determination of City staff when making their decision as well as any
other criteria they deem appropriate, to the extent that the criteria are
legally and constitutionally supportable. In the event a request is denied by
the Commission, a decision with the reasons set forth shall be adopted at
the time of the refusal, and set forth in the minutes in writing as part of the
motion (or resolution) adopted.
G:\EDSI\FILES\0010010850 l ! IRESOLU1\9V6! 60.DOC
E. Grant by City Commission; Location and Term
Any request that is approved will be accomplished by City Commission
resolution that will include the specific location(s) where the flag(s) can be flown
and the time period for which the request is granted.
Policy regarding term.of the permission: No permanent permission shall be
granted. The City's policy is to favor shorter term flying periods to accommodate
a reasonable number of requests and avoid unintended endorsements which can
arise not only by the message of the flag itself, but also by the duration a flag is
flown other than flags of the City, County, State and the United States.
Applicants are encouraged to apply for periods of display which are shorter, as
stated above. However, the Commission will consider periods up to one year for
flags which represent long term or continuing organizations, activities or public
(non-political) concerns. More typical will be permission granted for periods of a
week to thirty days.
The term of any permission granted shall be subject to the City's determination to
fly another flag in the location of and instead of the permitted flag in a time of
emergency or of critical public concern.
F. Flag Maintenance
It shall be the responsibility of the requesting organization to maintain the flag( s)
in good repair. Failure to do so will result in revocation of the permission to fly
the flag(s). The City shall afford access to the flag for repair and maintenance.
G. Revocation
The City Commission shall have the sole discretion to revoke the permission to
fly a flag permitted under this policy for whatever reasons they deem appropriate
and which are legally and constitutionally supportable. Claims made by any
person to whom permission has been granted concerning the import of the City's
pennission to fly a flag which are not intended or acceptable to the City shall be,
without limitation, grounds for revocation without notice.
Any revocation of permission before the term permitted has expired shall be
accomplished by the City removing the flag and notifying the applicant to come
to the City's offices to retrieve the flag or flags removed. In such case the City
shall indicate by written memorandum delivered to the applicant the reason(s) for
revocation.

Re: Backhoe Purchase
The Equipment Division has been trying out backhoes for the last several months
to replace the 1994 Case backhoe that we are currently using. We have narrowed our
search to two models that best serve our needs. The two models are the Caterpillar
420D and the Case 580M. The Case 580M is sold by Wolverine Tractor from Grand
Rapids Michigan and is priced at $57,000. The Caterpillar 420D is sold by Michigan
Caterpillar from Grand Rapids Michigan and is priced at $62,800.
We currently have five Case backhoes in our fleet and have been very satisfied
with the quality and durability of their machine. By staying with Case we will not
have to stock maintenance parts for another machine or train our mechanics on a
new unit. We have a guaranteed trade in allowance form Case of $19,000 for the
machine we are replacing, which will lower our cost to $38,000. We are currently
exploring the option of selling this unit outright for a larger amount.
Therefore, I am requesting permission to purchase one 2003 Case 580M from
Wolverine Tractor for $57,000 less our guaranteed trade in of$19,000 for a total
cost $38,000.

For sheeting: Our standard has always been 3M sheeting, they are the only bid usually received by
MCRC, they like us, use 3M sheeting exclusively. 3M also has supplied us with a sheeting roller at no
cost and to maintain the warranty on their sheeting they also supply us with inks at no cost. The cost
of sheeting has risen only very slightly over the last few years, this year most items will rise from
anywhere from 2% to 5%.
Centerline painting: Before 1997, we contracted with the MCRC for this work. In 1997 they sold their
equipment and we jointly bid with all other cities and townships in the County. In 1997 M&M Pavement
Marking, Inc. was awarded the bid and has since been extended the contract every year since at the
same unit prices. Our overall cost since 1998 has been higher because we painted over significant
amounts of faded permanent pavement marking and painting costs have increased.

AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made this 1l/ day of ':/t, bt-c.. .. ,. ~·
2003 between the City of
Muskegon ("Muskegon") and Community Foundation for uskegon County
("Foundation") with reference to the following:
A. Muskegon has agreed to construct a building in the "Smartzone" for Grand
Valley State University.
B. The local development finance authority (City of Muskegon) has issued
tax exempt bonds to finance the construction of such building with
proceeds from tax increment revenues within the Smartzone district to pay
for such tax exempt bonds.
C. Muskegon has financial projections showing the first payment from tax
increment revenues on such bonds will be due May 1, 2006 with the bond
issue continuing until November 1, 2025.
D. In the event the tax increment revenue generated by the Smartzone
development is insufficient to cover the bond debt Muskegon must pay
such deficiency from its general fund.
E. Muskegon has asked the Foundation, and other community institutions,
for monies to protect Muskegon's general fund by participating with
Muskegon in the bond repayment.
F. The Foundation recognizes the importance of the "Smart Zone" project in
the City and County of Muskegon.
NOW THEREFORE, it is agreed that in the event tax increment revenues are
insufficient in any year to cover the debt obligation of Muskegon on the bonds the
Foundation will contribute an amount not to exceed $75,000 annually to cover the
annual debt obligations on such bonds. Such contribution by the Foundation shall be
on a dollar for dollar basis with Muskegon. For example, if the deficiency in year 2007
is $50,000 the Foundation will contribute $25,000 and Muskegon will contribute
$25,000. Payment by the Foundation shall be made on or before thirty (30) days of the
bond payment date.
In the event other community institutions agree to participate with the Foundation
and Muskegon to cover a portion of the bond debt, the Foundation and any other such
institution will be called upon in equal priority to share such deficiency on a dollar for
dollar basis up to but not to exceed each institutions obligation to contribute. For
example, the Foundation's obligation to contribute is an amount not to exceed $75,000,
organization A's obligation to contribute is not to exceed $20,000 and the deficiency
between the tax revenue and the bond obligation in year 2007 is $100,000.
Organization A shall contribute $20,000 the Foundation shall contribute $40,000 and
Muskegon shall contribute $40,000. In the event the deficiency is $54,000 the
1
Foundation will contribute $18,000, Muskegon will contribute $18,000 and organization
A will contribute $18,000.
In the event the tax increment revenue in any year exceeds the debt service for
such year such excess shall be divided equally between the Foundation, Muskegon and
organization A provided, however, the Foundation and organization A shall not receive
an amount in excess of their cumulative contribution.
As of the date hereof the Foundation and Muskegon are the only signatory's to
this Agreement. In the event a third party contributor signs a facsimile of this
Agreement such facsimile shall be binding on all parties.
The obligation of the Foundation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall
not commence until June 1, 2006 and such obligation will terminate December 31,
2016.
Muskegon shall provide the Foundation an annual accounting of the tax
increment revenues for each year this Agreement is in effect.

With regard to expense reimbursements, Cathy and I have had several discussions on a proper and
efficient method of approval by the City. We came up with a pion by which Lakefront identifies a scope
of work for a portion of the project with a list of parties who would be performing services. TI1e scope of
work will be submitted to Cathy for her review and approval. Onoe approved by Cathy (and whoever
Cathy thinks is appropriate at City Hall), Lakefront will submit invoices for payment by the City.
At this time, the only activity for which Lakefront will be requesting reimbursement is for the design and
permitting for the seawall ond related activities. The following is the Scope of Work for that activity.
l. Design. Dreisenga and Associates and J.F. New and Associates (fka Resource Management)
will be working on the design issues, including surveys (land and water), elevations and engineering
spec,iications. Both firms will bill Lakefront on an hourly basis and w,11 invoices will be limited to the
design of the seawall.
2. Permitting Activities. Driesenga, J.F New and Tom Joiner will be working with Lakefront
to prepare the application for the seawall and work witb the MDEQ and ACOE to approval. They will
hill on an hourly basis.
3. Contract Review. Prior to the execution of any contracts by Lakefront LLC for services for
which Lakefront expects reimbursement from the City, Lakefront LLC will forward a copy of such
contract to the City Director of Planning and Economic Development for review.
At this time, we are not submitting any other scope of work for which Lakefront will be looking for
reimbursement.
Please review this letter and advise if it is acceptable to the City and we will proceed accordinsly.

2. Describe Project and Associated Activities
• Construct 1590 linear ft. of steel seawall (including two SO-foot returns) for
shoreline stabilization. Seawall to he placed immediately lakeward of existing,
deteriorating waH in most places (see graphics).
• Excavate 857 cubic yards of upland material (to create new bottomland), and 666
cubic yards of material below the ordinary high water mark (for navigation) for a
total of 1523 cubic yards of material (to be used on site as part of backfill).
• Place 3400 cubic yards of material (dredge spoils and clean fill from a
commercial source) behind proposed seawall as backfill.
• Install 750 linear ft, (30 cubic yards) ofriprap lakeward of the proposed seawall
as toe stone to enhance habitat.
• Place 1144 linear ft. {1462 cubic yards) ofriprap along eastern shoreline of site
for shoreline stabilization and containment and place 2240 cubic yards of clean
fill from a commercial source in 0.56 acres of existing wetland to complete
MDEQ approved Remedial Action Plan for site
Describe Construction sequence and method.
Seawall will be installed directly waterward of existing seawall along most of its
length. The project purpose includes removing 3 existing, 90-degree angles. In
these places, cuts through the existing wall at the lakeward point would be made
and the proposed wall installed landward of the existing wall at this location.
Following installation, the walls would be backfilled using material mechanically
excavated from the lakeward cut and capped with material from a commercial
source, consistent with requirements established under the Remedial Action Plan.
The eastern portion of the site's shoreline will be modified and recontoUied
consistent with the Remedial Action Plan. Silt fence will be installed along the
ordinary high water mark, and fill used to cap the site will be contoured as
illustrated by the enclosed drawings. Riprap on non-woven geotextile fabric will
be installed along the shoreline at a 2 to I profile.
4. Proposed Project Purpose
The project purpose is to repair a deteriorating seawall and otherwise stabilize the
existing shoreline to facilitate containment of hazardous material on this
brownfield redevelopment site.
The proposed shoreline stabilization and fill are in response to ongoing clean-up
activities at this site. These activities are consistent with the Remedial Action
Plan developed through MDEQ's Remediation and Redevelopment Division.
This proposal addresses the reuse of this property under the already-approved
Planned Unit Development by the city of Muskegon

Installation of the new seawall replaces the existing seawall that is structurally
unsound. The new seawall and shoreline stabilization is meant to contain the
proposed fill necessary to cap the site, and is part of the remediation efforts
funded for this property.
The proposed orientation of the new seawall straightens the shoreline and
removes 3 existing, 90-degree angles at the shoreline. The existing right angles
act as debris catchment zones, are more susceptible to wave action, and are
vulnerable to winter ice pressure, increasing maintenance costs to the public. The
new shoreline will also facilitate the proposed boardwalk and public access.
Intended Use
This site is part of Muskegon's SmartZone redevelopment and includes areas for
office space, retail outlets, residential housing, and public use, including open
space and access to the waterfront using a community boardwalk. Earlier phases,
already permitted, have allowed for the realignment of Shoreline Drive and
associated bike trnil, as well as the development of the Muskegon Technology
Center, to be operated by Grand Valley State University.
The proposed shoreline stabilization is intended to complete the reclamation of
the site under the Remedial Action Plan
Alternatives Considered
Project design must address the Remedial Action Plan and provide for capping the
site with clean fill up to or above the elevation 584.8 NGVD (See MDEQ
correspondence from Gerald Fulcher, Attachment B). Finished contours are
proposed at 585.0 NGVD.
Extending the seawall throughout the entire shoreline was considered but
abandoned in favor of limiting its use to the western half of the property where
most of the area is already contained by seawall. Riprap was proposed for the
remaining eastern length of shoreline. Toe stone has also been proposed along the
shoreline in front of the seawall as habitat for bentbic organisms.
10. Proiccts Impacting Wetlands
(A) Projects Requiring Fill
Wetland Fill: This proposal includes 0.56 acres of unavoidable wetland impact to
provide the appropriate cap as required under the Remedial Action Plan. This
includes 141 7 cubic yards of clean fill from a commercial source and 823 cubic
yards ofriprap (see Section I JC for total riprap volumes) for a total of2240 cubic
yards of fill in a wetland. See attached graphics for details.
Seawall Backfill: Fill areas are irregular in shape and depth. Area I averages
approximately 170' X 35' X 8.89' in depth (1960.5 cubic yards). Area 2 averages
s !D=6168479971'l P~9/17
approximately 180' X 35' X 6.17' in depth (1439.5 cubic yards). A total of 3400
cubic yards of backfill are proposed. See attached graphics for detail.
(B) Projects Requiring Excavation
857 cubic yards of existing upland will be excavated to create new bottomland as
part of this proposal. 666 cubic yards of material below the ordinary high water
mark in the above location will be excavated for navigation (see Section CC for
details). Excavated spoils will be used as backfill, landward of the proposed
seawall.
Soils at this site have been thoroughly tested and characterized as part of the
ongoing reclamation of this site. A map identifying sampling sites and a table
indicating levels that exceed established criteria are provided as part of this
application. Those levels above the appropriate criteria in the proposed
excavation area have been circled.
(B) Projects Requiring Riprap
A total of 1462 cubic yards ofriprap are proposed as shoreline stabilization. See
application form for figures above and below the ordinary high water mark. 823
cubic yards of this riprap is listed as fill in a wetland (see Section !OA).
14. Floodplain Activities
The proposed fill in this location is not regulated under Part 31, Water Resources
Protection, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act of 1994.

Dear Mr. Zambetis:
SUBJECT: Parcel C, City of Muskegon Shoreline Drive/Lake Front Development
l am returning the check number 6336 for the amount of $100.00 and the application for this project
which includes the placement of 670 cubic yards of fill in Parcel C or the Muskegon Shoreline
Drive/Lake Front Development project located in Section 19, Tl ON, RI 6W in the City of Muskegon.
Based on the information that you submitted all of the till is being placed above the Ordinary High Water
Mark (OHWM) of Muskegon Lake. There is no fill being placed in a wetland and no structure in being
placed below the OHWM. In addition, the floodplain at this location of Muskegon Lake is not regulared
by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). A permit is therefore not required from the Land
and Water Management Division under the authority of Part 30 I, Inland Lakes and Streams, Part 303,
Wetlands Protection and the floodplain regulatory authority found in Part 31, Water Resources Protection,
all of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, I 994 PA 45 I, as amended.
You are reminded that Gerald Heyt of the Remediation and Redevelopment Division has indicated that the
entire area within the Lakefront Development site must be covered with at least one foot of clean till at
one time and not in a piecemeal manner. It should also pointed out that the US Army Corps of Engineers
has revised the 100-year lloodplain elevation at this site to 584.8. While the published JOO-year
floodplain elevation in the City of Muskegon Flood Insurance Study is 584.0, it is recommended that the
higher elevation of 584.8 be used for any development purposes. Once the area is filled it is
recommended that you apply for and obtain a Letter of Map Revision-based on till from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
If you have any questions, please feel free 1o Contact Ms. Holly Stearns at 517-373-4667 or you may
contact me.

Re: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Muskegon Mall Parking Lots
•
ERM,
Dear Mr. Schrier:
Environmental Resources Management, Inc. (ERM) completed the
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) tasks in our proposal
dated 21 October 2002 at the Muskegon Mall Parking Lot site. This FSA
focused on the parking lots located in the southwestern section of the
-- mall property. This letter summarizes our findings and
recommendations for additional assessment.
OVERVIEW OF PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT
ERM conducted a site inspection on 29 January 2003 and noted the lots to
be asphalt-covered with no indication of environmental concerns
(e.g., UST vent or fill pipes, vaults, pits, ponds, PCB-containing
equipment, chemical odors, distressed vegetation, waste disposal, or
storage areas). Snow was present on the ground surface which prevented
a thorough inspection. A person with extensive historical knowledge of
the site could not be located for an interview. Ms. Mary O'Connor of the
Community Foundation referred ERM to Ms. Sara Rooks, former property
manager. Ms, Rooks indicated she had limited knowledge of the site and
could not answer questions regarding environmental conditions.
ERM has identified certain "recognized environmental conditions
(RECs)," as defined by the ASTM Standard E 1527-00, and has prepared a
scope and cost estimate to address these RECs. Based upon ERM's
review of historic aerial photographs, Sanborn Fire Insurance maps, plat
maps, and tax assessor records, the following RECs have been identified:
1. A 1950 Sanborn Fire Insurance map identified a filling station east of
3rd Street and north of former West Western Avenue; three
underground storage tanks (USTs) and a pump island were noted;

Environmental
Mr. John Schrier Resources
Page 2 Management
02/14/03
2. A 1950 Sanborn Fire Insurance map identified a filling and greasing
station west of the West Clay Avenue and 2nd Street intersection; two
USTs were noted;
3. A 1950 Sanborn Fire Insurance map identified a Consumers Power
Storage and Automotive building south of Morris Avenue and east of
3,d Street;
4. The 1883 and 1887 Sanborn Fire Insurance maps identified a coal shed
east of 3,d Street and north of former West Western A venue;
5. The 1887 Sanborn Fire Insurance map identified a printing and shirt
fabric laundry business west of former 2nd Street and north of former
West Western Avenue; and
6. The 1883 and 1887 Sanborn Fire Insurance maps identified a hotel
laundry area located north of West Clay Avenue and east of 3rd Street.
The local fire department was contacted regarding the potential presence
of USTs on the site and no records were available. Based upon the above
RECs, ERM recommends the following scope for a Phase II ESA.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
Initially, ERM would conduct a geophysical survey (electromagnetics
and magnetometry) of suspected UST areas (two filling stations). If
suspected USTs are identified, ERM would contact you regarding the
scope of services to perform proper removal of the USTs, and whether to
continue with the proposed soil borings. If no evidence of USTs is
located or if it is decided to proceed with the investigation if USTs are
present, the attached Table 1 summarizes the proposed scope of work.
A total of fourteen soil borings would be conducted with a geoprobe and
would extend to the water table (approximately 20 feet below grade).
Soil samples would be selected for laboratory analysis based upon PID
screening and visual observation. One soil boring would be conducted
near the printing and shirt fabric laundry building and one near the hotel
laundry area. However, lab analysis of soil samples would only be
conducted if visual and PID screening indicates potential contamination.
All sampling protocol would be consistent with MDEQ procedures. The
Phase II investigation will be summarized in a Phase I and II ESA report,
which will include a sample location map, boring logs, tabulated
analytical data, and conclusions and recommendations.

ESTIMATED COST
Based upon the above scope of services, the estimated probable cost to
perform the services is $18,500. Only those costs incurred by ERM will
be charged, but they will not exceed the estimated probable cost without
your prior written approval.
To avoid misunderstanding, it should be emphasized that the estimated
probable cost is a budget estimate, based upon our present knowledge of
the project, which is believed sufficient to cover the services described
herein, but no guarantee is made or implied with respect to the actual
cost of performing the project. The terms and conditions under the
3 July 2002 ERM/Parmenter O'Toole Master Consulting Agreement will
govern this project.
Changes in the scope of work that have a material effect on the budget or
significantly alter the schedule will be communicated verbally and in
writing to you for your approval.
SCHEDULE
ERM estimates the geophysical survey could be conducted within two
weeks of receiving authorization to proceed. The soil boring
investigation and report would be completed within three weeks
following the results of the geophysical survey.
To authorize our services as stated in this proposal, please sign and
return the attached Work Authorization form. Please feel free to contact
Tom O'Connell at (616) 738-7340 if you have any questions regarding the
proposed work. . We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to
Parmenter O'Toole on this project.
Sincerely,
Thomas P. O'Connell, P.E.

Re: Work Truck Replacement
The Equipment Division has scheduled the replacement of four Water and Sewer
Department trucks for this year. These vehicles are used for a variety of activities
including water meter setting, Miss Dig staking and general construction work. The
trucks that will be coming out of service as a result of this purchase are two 1988
and two 1991 GMC trucks.
I have requested prices from area dealers as well as the statewide purchasing
contracts. The bids were very close with only a few hundred dollars separating the
three lowest bidders. Attached is a summary of the bids.
In accordance with established purchasing policy, I am requesting permission to
purchase four 2003 Ford F-250 trucks from Tony Betten & Sons Ford.

PROPOSAL
Neighborhood Investment Corporation is proposing to purchase and rehabilitate a building on
Third St. and Houston Ave. for a mixed use of residential and office space. The first floor of the
building would have three offices of 1,100 square feet each to be used by Neighborhood
Investment Corporation and two other nonprofit tenants. The second floor would have five one
and two bedroom apartments.
The office space was originally used as the retail sales area for Walt Plant Appliances. It is
divided into three stalls of approximately 60' deep by 20' wide. There are very high ceilings and
plenty of natural light from the street side windows. The space could easily be adapted to three
office spaces by installing internal doors to separate areas, creating unisex handicapped
accessible bathrooms in each space, and upgrading the heating, plumbing, electrical and cable
systems.
There are five apartments in the second story of the building; two have 2 bedrooms and three are
one bedroom. They are in very good condition with the exception of antiquated or missing
bathroom and kitchen facilities.
The fayade of the building is the original brown brick with large display windows. It has a
number of signs which will be removed and the surface restored. We will retain the display
windows but replace the existing glass and security bars with high quality tempered glass. The
rear of the building is an unimproved parking lot; this will be paved and marked. We are
currently working with Hooker,DeJong to design office space which will be efficient for the
users and enhance the streetscape.
IMPACT
The Third Street Commercial Corridor has been seriously deteriorating over the past fifteen
years. Once a thriving retail center with a car dealership, appliance stores and a grocery, the area
now has a scattering of retail such as a costume shop, seamstress and convenience grocery.
Third Street between Muskegon Avenue and Merril Street is lined on the west side with 1900 era
retail buildings with apartments on the second story. At least two of the buildings still are used
as low income rentals. The condition of the buildings is marginal and there is not strong interest
in the area for retail development. The strongest recent development has been the Mid Town
Building which was recently purchased by Catholic Social Services.
Third Street is important to downtown development because it forms a southern spur to the
central district and it is important to the North Nelson residential area as it is the eastern
boundary and major traffic carrier for the neighborhood. At its southwesterly end is the First
Congregational Church property which is a beautifully maintained institution.
The building Neighborhood Investment Corporation is proposing to develop is the former Walt
Plant Appliance store. It is a landmark building on the Third Street commercial corridor and its
renovation would have a dramatic impact on the revitalization of that area. It is one block east of
Nelson Place and directly across the street from the Mid Town Building. The renovation of this
empty building would reinforce and extend these recent neighborhood investments. It would
bring three new organizations into the district creating a solid block of office activity and new
residential opportunities.
This building renovation would have a dramatic impact in the revitalizing of a deteriorating
commercial corridor adjacent to downtown, provide affordable office space for non profit
organizations and create new housing opportunities for the downtown neighborhood.
On the basis of this project, Neighborhood Investment Corporation has been invited to
participate in the LISC/ Neighborhood Main Street Initiative as one of five sites in Michigan.
Main Street is a commercial redevelopment program based on a four point approach;
• Design - Enhancing the physical appearance of the commercial district by rehabilitating
historic buildings, encouraging supportive new construction, developing sensitive design
management systems, and long-term planning.
• Organization - Building consensus and cooperation among the many groups and individuals
who have a role in the revitalization process.
• Marketing/Promotion - marketing the traditional commercial district's assets to customers,
potential investors, new businesses, local citizens and visitors.
• Economic Restructuring - Strengthening the district's existing economic base while finding
ways to expand it to meet new opportunities and challenges from outlying development.
LISC and the Muskegon Arts and Entertainment District Committee will fund a staff position for
Neighborhood Investment Corporation for two years to implement the program. The staff person
will work with the community to assess current conditions, develop a revitalization strategy, and
implement that strategy by securing resources from national and local source.
TIMEFRAME
The Neighborhood Investment Corporation purchased the building on January 29, 2003 and is
ready to begin the building rehabilitation. We will begin the building and site clean up
immediately. Buck Construction will schedule rehabilitation activities as soon as permits are
approved. We anticipate a three to four month construction period.
EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE
The economic feasibility of this project is based on the receipt of the Obsolete Property
exemption certificate. We would not undertake the rehabilitation of the property without the
receipt of the certificate.
CITY OF MUSKEGON
MUSKEGON COUNTY, MICHIGAN
RESOLUTION NO. -2-0-0-3.-2 o ( a )
A resolution approving the application for an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption
Certificate by Neighborhood Investment Corporation.
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 Neighborhood Investment Corporation, 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 prope1ty is located
was established after hearing on October 9, 2002, 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 of2000 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 February 25, 2003,
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, Neighborhood Investment Corporation, is not delinquent any taxes related
to the facility.
H. The exemption to be granted by this resolution is for six (6) years.
I. The City Commission finds that the prope1ty 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 of2000 and will be situated within the
Obsolete Prope1ty 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 (10%) of the true cash value of the
prope1ty 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 February 25, 2004, or one year after
the Ce1tificate 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 fo1th in, and incorporating the recitals to this resolution,
the City Commission hereby approves the application filed by Neighborhood Investment
Corporation, for an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate, to be
effective for a period of six (6) years;
2. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this resolution of approval relates to the property set
fmth at LOT 1 AND THE WEST½ OF LOT 2, BLOCK 367, REVISED PLAT OF THE
CIT OF MUSKEGON , the legal description containing the facilities to be improved;
3. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, as fmther condition of this approval, the applicant
shall comply with the representations and conditions set fo1th in the recitals above and in
the application material submitted to the City.
This resolution passed.

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
TERRACE STREET, IONA PECK
The reconstruction of terrace street between Iona & Peck, see attached location map, was
initiated by the City due to the conditions of the pavement and underground utilities. The
existing pavement has deteriorated to a level where, we believe, a total reconstruction is
necessary to optimize the use of street funds, this section of road has a Pavement Condition
Index of 25. The improvements being proposed, reconstruction, consist of following;
1. Complete removal of existing pavement, including what's left of the curbs & gutters and
replace with a new street section that would include curb & gutter of the same width
2. Replace the existing sanitary sewer main along with services
3. Replace existing watermain along with water services
A memo from the Assessor's office, which addresses the appraisal and benefit information, is
attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $336,000
(total estimated cost, including water & sewer, is $690,000) with the length of the project being
approximately 1500 lineal feet or 2188 of assessable footage. This translates into an estimated
improvement cost of$154 per assessable feet. The assessment figure will be at a cost not to
exceed $35.50 per assessable foot as established in the 2003 Special Assessment for this type of
improvement.

' Mr. Al-Shatel:
'I In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special
assessment district entailing the reconstrnction of Terrace Street located between
Iona Avenue and Peck Street. The purpose of this analysis is to document the
reasonableness of this special assessment district by identifying and quantifying
any accrued benefits. It is subject to the normal governmental restrictions of
'I escheat, taxation, police power and eminent domain. The effective date is
Febn1ary 11, 2003.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accrned benefits to the properties encompassed by this
I project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated value
enhancement and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in
property values due to an improved quality of life created by the proposed
I project. As previously presented, the proposed special assessment district
encompasses a mixture of properties, but the front foot rate of$ 35.50 appears
I reasonable in light of our analysis that indicates a probable enhancement of
$39.77. The conclusions are based upon the data presented within this limited
analysis in restricted fonnat, and on supporting information in my files.

Sincerely,

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
feasibility study and estimates of costs, and directs the City Engineer to proceed with
project design, preparation of specifications and the bidding process. If appropriate and
if bonds are to be sold for the purposes of financing the improvements, the Finance
Department shall prepare plans for financing including submission of application to the
Michigan Department of Treasury and the beginning of bond proceedings.
3. The City Commission hereby appoints a Board of Assessors consisting of City
Commissioners Spataro and Gawron
and the City Assessor who are hereby directed to prepare an assessment roll.
Assessments shall be made upon front foot basis.
4. Based on the City's Special Assessment policy and preliminary estimates it is expected
that approximately 18.69% 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.
This resolution adopted.

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
DA VIS ST., LAKETON TO SOUTHERN
The proposed Milling & resurfacing of Davis between Laketon & Southern was initiated by the
City due to the conditions it is in. The proposed resurfacing, we feel, is necessary to prevent this
section of roadway from deteriorating to a point where resurfacing would no longer be a valid
option and a complete reconstruction would then be necessary, resulting in a higher cost to the
property owners as well as to the City.
Facts;
• The last major work on this section of Davis appears to have taken place back in the mid
sixties except for the trench repair as a result of the watermain installation about I 0-years
ago.
• This section of Davis has an average pavement condition index (PCI) of less than 20 out of a
I 00. A PCI this low would normally result in a recommendation to reconstruct, however,
milling & resurfacing is being proposed due the fact :hat existing curbs are in excellent shape
• A memorandum from the Assessor's office, which addresses appraisal and benefits to
abutting properties, is attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $170,000
with the length of the project being approximately 1600 lineal feet or I 780 of assessable footage.
This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $95 per assessable foot. The assessment
figure will be at a cost not to exceed $17.85 per assessable foot as established in the 2003 Special
Assessment for this type of improvement.

Mr. Al-Shatel:
In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment district
entailing the milling and resurfacing of Davis Street between W. Laketon Avenue and W.
Southern Avenue. The purpose of this analysis is to document the reasonableness of 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 February 11, 2003.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and reasonably
represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this project. The amounts
reflect the sum of the immediate estimated value enhancement and the intrinsic value that will
accrue from an overall increase in property values due to an improved quality of life created
by the proposed project. As previously presented, the proposed special assessment district
encompasses primarily residential properties. The front foot rate of $17 .85 for the milling and
resurfacing of the above mentioned project area appears reasonable in light ofan analysis that
indicates a possible enhancement of$18.97. The conclusions are based upon the data
presented within this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my
files.

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:
DAVIS, LAKETON TO SOUTHERN
The proposed special assessment district will be located as follows:
All parcels abutting Davis. Laketon to Southern
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 FEBRUARY
25,2003 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 $170,000.00 of which
approximately 18.69% ($31,775.68) 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.

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:

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%.

GOOD FAITH: A certified or cashier's check drawn upon an incorporated bank or trust

Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a
bond in the State of Michigan and such Bond must be submitted to the City's financial advisor
0

g of the bonds. In the event the purchaser fails to honor its accepted bid, the good faith deposit
~ will be retained by the City. No interest shall be allowed on the good faith check and checks of
the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to each bidder's representative or by overnight

balance of the purchase price of the bonds shall be made at the closing.

discount the debt service payments from their respective payment dates to March 1, 2003, in an
amount equal to the bid price, excluding accrued interest.
TAX MATTERS: In the opinion of bond counsel, assuming compliance with certain
covenants, interest on the bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes
as described in the opinion, and the bonds and interest thereon are exempt from all taxation in
the State of Michigan except inheritance and estate taxes and taxes on gains realized from the
sale, payment or other disposition thereof. The successful bidder will be required to furnish,
prior to the delivery of the bonds, a certificate in a form acceptable to bond counsel as to the

RE: Liability/Property Insurance Renewal
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To renew the city's liability and property insurance
coverage with the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Association (MMRMA), an
intergovernmental self-insurance pool representing more than 300 Michigan
municipalities. Since 1986 the city has had liability coverage through the MMRMA; in
1999 property coverage was added . The city is coming off a three-year fixed rate
contract with MMRMA during which time the insurance industry was rocked by both
the stock market collapse and the 9/11 terrorist attack. Therefore, a significant
renewal rate increase was not unexpected.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total contribution of $856,599 comprised of two
components: $594,515 fixed insurance costs and $262,084 contribution to the city's
self-insured retention fund. The fixed insurance costs represent a 29% increase over
2002 costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. The city's 2003 budget anticipated a
24% premium increase. Since the quoted renewal (29% increase) is for a twelve
month period ended March 1, 2004, only ten months of the higher premium will
impact FY 2003 so the current budget is adequate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Renewal of liability and property insurance
coverage with MMRMA. Staff believes that intergovernmental procurement of
insurance coverage is most cost-effective approach. Moreover, the MMRMA
program has the broadest coverage available to Michigan municipalities and the
city's past experience with the program has been very positive.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None.

Re: Organizational Assessment
On February 4, 2003, the City of Muskegon received three proposals for an
organizational assessment of the Muskegon Fire Department.
The proposals for all three companies were evaluated based upon cost,
methodology, scope of work, draft and final report components, time to completion,
and a reference check. Based upon this analysis, we are recommending that the
firm of "Ludwig Group, LLC" be awarded the contract in the amount of $22,500.00.
The "Ludwig Group LLC" was low bidder and a check of six references indicated that
past work by this company in other jurisdictions was thorough, concise, and an action
plan was presented in each case that was implemented with the desired results.

# 02-71 - 521 Mulder (Garage) - Robert & Diane Dempsey, 310 Vashti Lane,
Muskegon
Mr. and Mrs. Dempsey were present to represent this case. Nick Kroes asked
what their plan was for the garage. Mr. Dempsey stated he would like to re-roof
the garage. Mr. Grabinski stated that a foundation inspection would be required.
Mr. Dempsey also stated he might want to rebuild on the existing footprint, which
would have to be approved through the zoning department. He does not
currently have the finances to rebuild, he's not working. The garage collapsed in
2001. Right now it's being used to store some appliances. He wants to sell the
house. It is vacant at this time and he does not want to rent it out again since his
previous experience renting it out was not good.
Mr. Grabinski stated his only choice is to declare the building a dangerous
structure, but explained to Mr. Dempsey that he has time until the case would go
before commission and even after that to move forward with whatever he decides
to do. It was highly recommended by John Warner and Nick Kroes to check with
zoning right away and tear down the garage himself to save demolition fees. It
was also recommended that he call the Inspection office and schedule Henry
Faltinowski to inspect the structure to help clarify if it is worth saving.
Staff Recommendation: Declare this building substandard, a public nuisance,
and dangerous building and forward to city commission for their concurrence.
A motion was made by Randy Mackie and seconded by Jerry Bever to accept
staff recommendation.
A roll cal vote was taken:
AYES: NAYES EXCUSED: ABSENT

Case #01-051 - 1166 W. Grand - James & Tamara Ward & Maryjane
Sanford, 1160 W. Grand, Muskegon
Mary Sanford stated that she holds the land contract with James and Tamara
Ward on this home. A tree fell on the front porch and has not been repaired yet.
Mr. Grabinski stated there have been neighbor complaints and recently a police
report from 4/15/02 stating there are car parts and junk in the back yard and the
home appears to be in a state of disrepair. Mr. Ward stated the front porch was
removed Friday, 4/26/02 and the back right side of the foundation was been
repaired. He also stated there has been much work done on the inside. The
window in the upstairs front bedroom is not permanent, it was stuck in instead of
boarding the front. They will install an egress window. The Wards stated they
have done a lot of work and only one neighbor complains, most neighbors are
happy with what they have done. They live next door and have been trying to get
the inside done, so they can move in. They have had electrical and building
inspections. Mr. Kroes asked when the exterior work can be done. There was
discussion on time frames required by Inspections. There was also discussion
on how the exterior needs to be repaired, whether it has to be sided completely
or just on the front. The sides that are wood can be painted, the front is to be
sided.
Staff Recommendation: Complete the front exterior within 30 days, remaining
exterior within 90 days, allow monthly progress inspections, and table this case
for 180 days. If progress continues ii will not be brought back in 180 days. If
progress stops it will come back to the HBA.

A I was driving the alleys due to past complaints when I noticed
R that in the rear of this yard there were car parts. Also the there
R appeared to junk on the back porch and the north east side of the
A house appeared to be in a state of repair that had never been
T finished. When driving around to the front to get the address the
I porch roof is sagging. It appears that some type of repair is
V being done to the front of the house but it is unknown when these
E repairs were done or if there is a permit. There was no address on
the front of the house but is between 1160 and 1180 W. Grand.

The Wards were not present for the meeting. Mrs. Ward called the Inspection
office and stated they would not be able to attend due to a court case in White
Cloud. She also stated they have been working on the interior and spent $2700
on electrical repairs. Some of the board members drove by the house and it was
stated there is OSB halfway down the rafters and the windows are not finished.
They were ordered to install egress windows and it appears to be 28 x 28
windows. At the last HBA hearing they attended in May 2002, they were given
30 days to finish the front of the house, 90 days to finish the exterior, and 180
days to completely finish. They were also ordered to have 30 day progress
inspections. They have not complied.
Staff Recommendation: Declare this building substandard, a public nuisance,
and dangerous building and forward to city commission for their concurrence.
