Memorandum
To: Mayor and Commissioners
From: Frank Peterson
Re: City Commission Meeting
Date: May 8, 2019
Here is a quick outline of the items on our agendas:
Work Session:
THIS WILL BE A LONG AGENDA – WE WILL PROVIDE DINNER
1. 1490 Lakeshore Drive purchase Agreement. We will discuss the purchase agreement for
1490 Lakeshore Drive. This is the former Amoco Tank Farm site. There is significant
environmental remediation that needs to happen to put the property back into
productive use. Absent millions in cleanup expenses, the property will never be usable to
residents in any capacity – including recreational. Per the attached site plan, the
developer is seeking to construct a marina with a mix of housing and commercial units.
Cleaning/preparing the site to accommodate this use will likely reach $15 Million. This
purchase agreement will enable the developer to begin spending significant dollars in
environmental assessment activities. Staff believes that this process poses the greatest
likelihood that adequate remediation will take place on the property. The group
purchasing the property has significant experience in environmental remediation; they
have completed many state and federal contracts to undertake similar work across the
Great Lakes.
2. Arena Management Agreement. This agreement is with Arc Arena Management. We
have historically used an arena management agreement in lieu of using a full-time
employee to manage the arena because of cost savings and flexibility. For a short time
recently, we used a city employee and will now be moving back to a management
agreement. This agreement has a base monthly payment but also a series of incentives
to drive community events into the facility and move the facility into a profit center.
3. Marina Management Agreement. The agreement is with F3 Marina via a subcontract with
Hartshorn Marina Village. We recently lost our harbormaster and found it difficult to
replace the position. This group manages a number of public marinas in the Great Lakes
region and has significant experience in improving the service levels of those marinas. We
are move to make significant investments in the marina by replacing docks and restrooms,
1 of 4
and adding amenities, the rates will undoubtedly rise. We need to be in a position to
provide excellent service immediately – and we feel F3 can help us do that.
4. Suburban Nation. LeighAnn Mikesell will be starting a regular program with staff, City
Commissioners and Planning Commissioners that helps educate each of us on the
important of urban-focused decision-making. At the work session, LeighAnn will provide
each Commissioner a copy of the book and spend a little time talking about the first two
chapters.
5. Parks and Streets Capital Improvement Plan. This item is not going to appear on the
regular session. After months of compiling information, the Department of Public Works
is ready to share a vision to begin redeveloping our aging infrastructure (specific to parks
and streets).
Parks. A number of years ago, our residents identified certain parks that they felt
should be part of the city’s infrastructure system in perpetuity. This has helped
lead to Muskegon being a leader in park space – with an estimated 600+ acres of
parkland. Unfortunately, we have not had the resources to maintain those parks
properly for many years – and some of our parks have not experienced significant
investment in decades. We have restrooms that are non-functioning, parking lots
and sidewalks that need new pavement, ADA issues, playground issues, flooding
issues, and more. Conservatively, those costs could exceed $16 Million . . . at our
current expense rate, it would take another 50years (or more) to complete these
items.
Streets. I think we all agree that our streets need significant work. We are
undertaking a major project on Lakeshore Drive this summer. Once that is
complete, most of our major arteries will be in reasonable/fair shape. We have
some work to do on parts of Sanford, Peck, Laketon, Sherman, and Lakeshore
Drive over the next few years. With that said, we would like to focus energy on
neighborhood streets, as those are in far worse shape – we have about 75 miles
of such roadways. Right now, we simply do not generate enough money from gas
taxes to properly maintain (or replace) the local roadways. Through a rating
process, DPW staff has identified approximately 87 separate stretches of local
streets that need significant work. We focused on streets that need resurfacing
vs reconstruction, because our dollars would go significantly farther. Those 87
projects would cost approximately $11 Million.
Funding. This is something that will need extensive community input. We did do
some traditional funding models for the commissioners to see. All of these
2 of 4
options require issuance of debt. Over 15 years, the payment would be
approximately $2.37 Million.
6. Marihuana Usage. Staff is seeking approval of an ordinance that would regulate the use
of marihuana in public spaces. This is similar to the way we would regulate alcohol usage.
7. Recreational Marihuana. Staff is seeking a discussion on recreational marihuana. This is
different from medicinal – where we had to choose to opt-in. In the recreational
marihuana law, we are assumed to have opted-in unless we officially opt-out.
Regular Session:
1. Under Presentations, we award our outstanding citizenship award to Paul Billings.
2. Under the Consent Agenda, we are asking the Commission to consider the following:
a. Approval of meeting minutes from the most-recent City Commission meeting.
b. Payment of MML Dues
c. Second reading of the PUD ordinance
d. Second reading of landscaping requirements ordinance
e. Approval of the marina management agreement with F3
f. Approval of the Arena management agreement with Arc Arena Management
g. Approval of purchase agreement for 1490 Lakeshore Drive
h. Approval of purchase of tug and trailer for downtown events
i. Authorization to construct storage garage at Marsh Field
j. Authorization to purchase the property at 1192 Pine Street
k. Authorize changes to the tuition reimbursement program. The change would add
$500 to the annual reimbursement threshold.
l. Authorization of $13,500 additional expense for the Summer Evening Recreation
Program
m. Authorize $10,300 expense for repairs to the T-Dock at Hartshorn Marina.
n. Authorize changes to the Consumers Energy Street Lighting Contract
o. Authorize an agreement with CSX to cross under their tracks with a sewer line
p. Approve carbon monoxide monitoring and control equipment for the DPW
building.
q. Authorize a change order in the demolition contract for the prison site to address
items found underground.
r. Approve the healthcare program (the costs are actually down)
s. Approve a change to the employee delta dental plan
t. Approve the financing for the LC Walker Arena roof
u. Approve the financing for the LC Walker Arena HVAC and dehumidification
improvements.
3 of 4
v. Notice of Intent Resolution Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bonds. Based on recent
estimates of the cost of the project we believe it is necessary to request an
additional authorization for $3 million.
3. Under Public Hearings:
a. Public hearing on the Brownfield request for The Leonard building
b. Public hearing on the Brownfield request for the City’s scattered site Brownfield
program (infill housing).
4. Under the New Business, we are asking the Commission to consider the following:
a. First reading of an ordinance prohibiting the sale and consumption of marihuana
in public places.
b. First reading of an ordinance regulating fireworks usage. There will be fewer days
allowed and larger fines for violations.
c. 2019 CDBG/HOME budget
d. Purchase Agreement – Former Farmers Market Site. We are going back to the
original purchase price of $150,000 for the site so we can get moving on the food
hub while the developer contemplates activity at the Ameribank building.
Let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns

with Manager’s failure or inability to perform such extraordinary services. In the event Manager notifies
Owner of a condition(s) or circumstance(s) occurring upon the Premises which, in Manager’s sole

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To authorize the updated Tuition Reimbursement Program.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
City of Muskegon
Tuition Reimbursement Program
To encourage the professional and personal development of every City of Muskegon employee,
the following policy establishes reimbursement for qualified educational expenses and successful
completion of undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate courses in accredited colleges or
universities.
All full-time employees of the City of Muskegon are eligible for educational assistance in
accordance with this policy upon completion of six (6) months of continuous employment prior
to the time of course enrollment, and provided that the employee is enrolled in courses which
are part of a degree program.
Reimbursement Requirements
Employees interested in participating in this education assistance program must complete
the Request for Employee Tuition Reimbursement Form prior to the commencement of any
coursework for which the employee desires to be reimbursed.
The employee’s department head must approve the reimbursement (in his or her sole discretion)
and the employee may be reimbursed for only approved degree programs.
Approved coursework must be completed on the employee’s own time.
If approved coursework is only available during the employee’s work hours, a schedule of
proportional compensatory time may be arranged (in the sole discretion of the employee’s
department head), provided normal services of the employing department are not disrupted or
impaired.
Reimbursement is contingent upon the student earning a passing grade (as defined herein) or
confirmation of satisfactory completion of the course from the school when a course is not
graded.
Reimbursement Amount
The City of Muskegon will reimburse an employee for 75% of tuition, including required course
fees, for all passing grades (as defined herein), with a maximum of $2,500 per year for
undergraduate studies and $3,000 per year for graduate and post-graduate studies.
Payment may be made to the institution or reimbursed to the employee.
Failure to satisfy the minimum approved grade will result in denial of payment or reimbursement
of monies to the institution for the applicable course(s).
A passing grade is defined as an “A,” or “B.”
If the course is a “Pass/Fail,” a “Pass” is acceptable.
An employee will not be eligible for tuition reimbursement if they withdraw from an approved
course or if the approved course is canceled.
The employee is required to immediately notify the Department Head and Human Resources if
they withdraw from an approved course or if the course is canceled.
An employee will not receive tuition reimbursement if they terminate employment prior to
completion of an approved course.
If the employee receives an incomplete in a course, the employee will have until the end of the
following semester in which to complete the work and have the incomplete removed. Failure to
complete the work will prohibit the employee from participating in the tuition reimbursement
plan and any advance payments received must be repaid to the City of Muskegon.
Application Process
The employee should complete the Request for Tuition Reimbursement Form 14 days prior to
each course the employee wants to take in conjunction with this program. The Department Head
of the employee’s department must approve the request. When completed, the Request for
Tuition Reimbursement Form is submitted to the Human Resource Department for review and
approval.
Reimbursement Process
Upon completion of the course, applicant must submit, within 45 days, legible copies of the
following: (1) College/university invoice or statement indicating fees charged and the amount
paid (the invoice must contain the school’s name and address. Copies of canceled checks and
credit card receipts will not be accepted); and (2) College/university grade card/report indicating
the applicant’s name, quarter/semester, course name(s) and grade(s) for the term.

RE: Summer Evening Recreation Program
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Construction and scheduling issues at the High School caused the program to shrink to four weeks. A
partnership with the Boys and Girls Club will allow the program to extend four additional weeks. Staff
is seeking approval to spend an additional $13,500 to accommodate this change to the evening
recreation program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$13,500
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To accept the attached proposal from the Boys and Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Program Design:
Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore would operate a Evening Recreation Program for youth ages 6-18
Monday-Friday 6:00pm-9:00pm at our Nelson Club Site (550 W Grand). This program would be offered 36 days in the
summer, beginning Monday, June 24th and ending Friday, August 16th. In addition, an Evening Recreation Program
would be added to Boys & Girls Club current Summer Park Recreation Programs (9am-6pm) and Summer Nelson Site
Programs (Noon-6pm).
All programs will be closed for the 4th of July and July 5th. In addition, the program will be closed on 26th and July 29th.
Based on prior years operating summer programs, BGCML recognizes how taxing the long summer hours are on staff.
Thus, this long weekend (July 26th - July 29th) provides designated time for staff to recharge.
BGCML will provide a variety of recreational programs each day, including, but not limited to those found below for a
Evening Recreation Program :
Time Frame Activities offered

Challenges Training
*At least five activities will be offered to youth each program block, with youth able to choose which activity they would like
to participate in. To ensure safety, BGCML will group youth by age.
Staff-to-Member Ratio:
BGCML is committed to providing a safe environment. As such, all Club activities will be under continuous supervision by
an appropriate adult at all times. Based on Boys & Girls Clubs of America recommendations and Michigan Out-of-School
Time Standards of Quality, BGCML will maintain a maximum of 15:1 student-to-staff ratio. Additional staff will be hired as
needed based on program participation, to ensure this ratio is in effect at all times.
Budget:
BGCML anticipates the cost to run a high-quality evening recreation program to be $50,946. Assuming this program is
operated for 108 hours each summer, this would result in a program cost of $472/program hour (based on 3 hrs per day
for 36 days).
See attached for complete budget overview.
(The following staff quantities are based on an anticipated average daily attendance of 250 youth. Number of
Coordinators and Youth Development Professionals would be adjusted accordingly to maintain required ratio; additional
hours and days are included for training and program preparation).

purchased by Licensee to comply with this Agreement. Failure of Licensee to comply with

17. TITLE:
17.1 Licensee understands that Licensor occupies, uses and possesses lands,
rights-of-way and rail corridors under all forms and qualities of ownership rights or facts, from
full fee simple absolute to bare occupation. Accordingly, nothing in this Agreement shall act as
Page 11 of 16 ø
AGREEMENT NO. CSX883729 Ø
Section 9, 19 and Schedule A
or be deemed to act as any warranty, guaranty or representation of the quality of Licensor's title
for any particular Encroachment or segment of Rail Corridor occupied, used or enjoyed in any
manner by Licensee under any rights created in this Agreement. It is expressly understood that
Licensor does not warrant title to any Rail Corridor and Licensee will accept the grants and
privileges contained herein, subject to all lawful outstanding existing liens, mortgages and
superior rights in and to the Rail Corridor, and all leases, licenses and easements or other
interests previously granted to others therein.
17.2 The term "license," as used herein, shall mean with regard to any portion of
the Rail Corridor which is owned by Licensor in fee simple absolute, or where the applicable law
of the State where the Encroachment is located otherwise permits Licensor to make such grants
to Licensee, a "permission to use" the Rail Corridor, with dominion and control over such
portion of the Rail Corridor remaining with Licensor, and no interest in or exclusive right to
possess being otherwise granted to Licensee. With regard to any other portion of Rail Corridor
occupied, used or controlled by Licensor under any other facts or rights, Licensor merely waives
its exclusive right to occupy the Rail Corridor and grants no other rights whatsoever under this
Agreement, such waiver continuing only so long as Licensor continues its own occupation, use
or control. Licensor does not warrant or guarantee that the license granted hereunder provides
Licensee with all of the rights necessary to occupy any portion of the Rail Corridor. Licensee
further acknowledges that it does not have the right to occupy any portion of the Rail Corridor
held by Licensor in less than fee simple absolute without also receiving the consent of the
owner(s) of the fee simple absolute estate. Further, Licensee shall not obtain, exercise or claim
any interest in the Rail Corridor that would impair Licensor's existing rights therein.
17.3 Licensee agrees it shall not have nor shall it make, and hereby completely and
absolutely waives its right to, any claim against Licensor for damages on account of any
deficiencies in title to the Rail Corridor in the event of failure or insufficiency of Licensor's title
to any portion thereof arising from Licensee's use or occupancy thereof.
17.4 Licensee agrees to fully and completely indemnify and defend all claims or
litigation for slander of title, overburden of easement, or similar claims arising out of or based
upon the Facilities placement, or the presence of the Facilities in, on or along any
Encroachment(s), including claims for punitive or special damages.
17.5 Licensee shall not at any time own or claim any right, title or interest in or to
Licensor's property occupied by the Encroachments, nor shall the exercise of this Agreement for
any length of time give rise to any right, title or interest in Licensee to said property other than
the license herein created.
17.6 Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to give, and Licensor hereby
expressly waives, any claim of ownership in and to any part of the Facilities.
17.7 Licensee shall not create or permit any mortgage, pledge, security, interest,
lien or encumbrances, including without limitation, tax liens and liens or encumbrances with
respect to work performed or equipment furnished in connection with the construction,
installation, repair, maintenance or operation of the Facilities in or on any portion of the
Page 12 of 16 ø
AGREEMENT NO. CSX883729 Ø
Section 9, 19 and Schedule A
Encroachment (collectively, "Liens or Encumbrances"), to be established or remain against the
Encroachment or any portion thereof or any other Licensor property.
17.8 In the event that any property of Licensor becomes subject to such Liens or
Encumbrances, Licensee agrees to pay, discharge or remove the same promptly upon Licensee's
receipt of notice that such Liens or Encumbrances have been filed or docketed against the
Encroachment or any other property of Licensor; however, Licensee reserves the right to
challenge, at its sole expense, the validity and/or enforceability of any such Liens or
Encumbrances.
18. GENERAL PROVISIONS:
18.1 This Agreement, and the attached specifications, contains the entire

18.4 This Agreement is executed under current interpretation of applicable
Federal, State, County, Municipal or other local statute, ordinance or law(s). However, each
separate division (paragraph, clause, item, term, condition, covenant or agreement) herein shall
have independent and severable status for the determination of legality, so that if any separate
division is determined to be void or unenforceable for any reason, such determination shall have
no effect upon the validity or enforceability of each other separate division, or any combination
thereof.
18.5 This Agreement shall be construed and governed by the laws of the state in
which the Facilities and Encroachment are located.
18.6 If any amount due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is not paid by the

eighteen percent (18%) per annum, unless limited by local law, and then at the highest rate so
permitted.
18.7 Licensee agrees to reimburse Licensor for all reasonable costs (including
attorney's fees) incurred by Licensor for collecting any amount due under the Agreement.

City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
December 2018
I. INTRODUCTION
In order to promote the revitalization of commercial, industrial, and residential
properties within the boundaries of the City of Muskegon (the "City"), the City
established the City of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (the
"Authority") pursuant to Act 381, Public Acts of Michigan, as amended ("Act 381"),
and a resolution adopted by the Muskegon City Commission on February 10, 1998.
Terms defined in Act 381 and applicable sections of the statute are noted in italics
throughout this document.
This Brownfield Plan ("Plan") was originally intended to address the redevelopment
of eligible properties within the City that are impacted by the presence of hazardous
substances in concentrations that exceed Michigan's Part 201 Generic Cleanup
Criteria ("facilities") or that have been determined to be Functionally Obsolete or
Blighted. By facilitating redevelopment of underutilized eligible properties, the Plan
is intended to promote economic growth for the benefit of the residents of the City
and all taxing units located within and benefited by the Authority.
The Plan is intended to be a living document, which can be amended as necessary
to achieve the purposes of Act 381. It is specifically anticipated that properties will
be continually added to the Plan as new projects are identified. The Plan contains
general provisions applicable to the Plan, as well as property-specific information
for each project. The applicable Sections of Act 381 are noted throughout the Plan
for reference purposes.
The Plan contains the information required by Section 13(2) of Act 381, as
amended. Additional information is available from the Muskegon City Manager or
the Director of Planning and Economic Development.
II. GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. Costs of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(2)(a))
Any site-specific costs of implementing the Plan are described in the site-specific
section of the Plan. Site-specific sources of funding may include tax increment
financing revenue generated from new development on eligible brownfield
properties, state and federal grant or loan funds, and/or private parties. Where
private parties finance the costs of eligible activities under the Plan, tax increment
revenues may be used to reimburse the private parties. The initial costs related
to preparation of the Plan were funded by the City's general fund. Subsequent
amendments to the Plan may be funded by the person requesting inclusion of a
project in the Plan, and if eligible, may be reimbursed through tax increment
financing.
The Authority intends to pay for administrative costs and all of the things necessary
or convenient to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Authority with fees
charged to applicants to be included in the Plan and any eligible tax increment
revenues collected pursuant to the Plan, in accordance with the provisions of Act
381, including, but not limited to:
i) the cost of financial tracking and auditing the funds of the Authority,
ii) costs for amending and/or updating the Plan, including legal fees, and
iii) costs for Plan implementation
Tax increment revenues that may be generated and captured by this Plan are
identified in the site-specific sections of this Plan.
B. Method for Financing Costs of Plan and Bonded Indebtedness (Section
13(2)(d) and (e))
The City or Authority may incur some debt on a site-specific basis. Please refer to
the site-specific section of the Plan for details on any debt to be incurred by the
City or Authority. When a property proposed for inclusion in the Plan is in an area
where tax increment financing is a viable option, the Authority intends to enter into
Development and Reimbursement Agreement with the property
owners/developers of properties included in the Plan to reimburse them for the
costs of eligible activities undertaken pursuant to the Plan. Financing arrangements
will be specified in the Development and Reimbursement Agreement, and also
identified in the site-specific section of the Plan.
C. Duration of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(2)(f))
The Plan, as it applies to a specific eligible property, shall be effective up to five
(5) years after the year in which the total amount of any tax increment revenue
captured is equal to the total costs of eligible activities attributable to the specific
eligible property, or thirty (30) years from the date of first tax capture under the
Plan as it relates to an individual site, whichever is less. The total costs of eligible
activities include the cost of principal and interest on any note or obligation issued
by the Authority to pay for the costs of eligible activities, the reasonable costs of
a Work Plan, the actual costs of the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality’s or Michigan Strategic Fund’s review of the work plan, and
implementation of the eligible activities.
D. Displacement/Relocation of Individuals on Eligible
Properties (Section 13(2)(i),(j)(k)(l))
At this time, eligible properties identified in the Plan do not contain residences, nor
are there any current plans or intentions by the City for identifying eligible
properties that will require the relocation of the residences. Therefore the
provisions of Section 13(2)(i-l) are not applicable at this time.
E. Local Brownfield Revolving Fund (Section 8; Section 13(5)(b))
Whenever the Plan includes a property for which taxes will be captured through
Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) provided by Act 381, it is the Authority's intent to
establish a Local Brownfield Revolving Fund ("Fund"). The Fund will consist of tax
increment revenues that exceed the costs of eligible activities incurred on an
eligible property, as specified in Section 13(5) of Act 381. Section 13(5) authorizes
the capture of TIF from an eligible property for up to 5 years after the time that
capture is required for the purposes of reimbursing the costs of eligible activities
identified in the Plan. It is the intention of the Authority to continue to capture tax
increment revenues for up to 5 years after eligible activities are funded from those
properties identified for tax capture in the Plan, provided that the time frame
allowed by Act 381 for tax capture is sufficient to accommodate capture to
capitalize a Fund. The amount of school operating taxes captured for the Fund will
be limited to the amount of school operating taxes captured for eligible department
specific activities under the Plan. It may also include funds appropriated or
otherwise made available from public or private sources.
The Fund may be used to reimburse the Authority, the City, and private parties
for the costs of eligible activities at eligible properties and other costs as
permitted by Act 381. It may also be used for eligible activities on eligible
property for which there is no ability to capture tax increment revenues. The
establishment of the Fund will provide additional flexibility to the Authority in
facilitating redevelopment of brownfield properties by providing another source
of financing for necessary eligible activities.
III. SITE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
L. FORMER MUSKEGON MALL – FIRST AMENDMENT
Eligibility and Project Description (Sec. 13(2)(h))
Mall Development
The Plan that added the original Mall Property (defined below) was originally
adopted in October 2004 to accommodate Downtown Muskegon Development
Corporation’s (“DMDC”) acquisition and development of the former Muskegon
Mall property in downtown Muskegon. A majority of the buildings on the 23-
acre site had been demolished (See Map included as Attachment L-1.). The
intent of the DMDC was to prepare the site for development and market the site
to developers to create a mixed use residential, commercial, and retail
development in the downtown.
Originally, the entire former Mall property was established as one parcel (the
"Mall Property") when the Plan was adopted. The legal description of the
Mall Property is included as Attachment L-2 and the eligible property included
all new taxable personal property.
The Mall Property is considered a "facility" pursuant to Part 201 of the Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Act, and is therefore an eligible
property pursuant to Act 381. Soils samples collected by Environmental
Resources Management in June 2004 found concentrations of lead and
mercury that exceed the Part 201 generic residential cleanup criteria.
The Mall Property was marketed by DMDC as a multi-developer site. Lots
have been sold according to the needs of each developer under a
condominium structure. To assure continued beautification, appropriate
quality, and architectural integrity, restrictive covenants have been
implemented by the DMDC to assure that the project develops according to the
"Imagine Muskegon" plan. Overall guidelines for the development (i.e.: building
height, style, etc.) have been developed as part of each sales agreement.
The Mall Property is serviced by city water and sewer, and has appropriate
electric and natural gas service. Where appropriate, utilities have been
upgraded and improved. Where possible, electrical service and cable was
installed underground. As part of the original site development, a significant
amount of infrastructure work was completed in preparation for future
redevelopment. A majority of the work was completed using grant and loan
funds and the intent was to utilize TIF under the Plan to repay the loans.
The Mall Property was subject to a tax-free Renaissance Zone through
approximately 2012 and the intent was to begin capturing and reimbursing the
costs of eligible activities, including infrastructure improvements, demolition, site
preparation, and environmental response activities undertaken after the Plan was
approved.
The DMDC had originally estimated redevelopment would generate private
investment of $60 million and create approximately 225 jobs.
Sweetwater Development Project
The Plan is being amended for the purpose of supporting specific eligible
activities associated with a new project located within the boundaries of
the Mall Property in the heart of downtown. Sweetwater Development,
LLC (“Sweetwater”) is proposing to redevelop a portion of the vacant lot at
292 W. Western Avenue known as Unit 24 of the Downtown Muskegon
Development Center No.1 condominium plan consisting of approximately
0.32 acres located at the corner of W. Western Avenue and 2nd Street in
downtown Muskegon (the “Sweetwater Property”). Sweetwater is
proposing to construct a new six-story mixed use building that will contain
approximately 48,000 sf and include a mix of first floor retail, office and
residential space above approximately 8,000 sf of underground parking
that would provide an estimated twenty-eight (28) parking spaces (the
“Sweetwater Project”). The Sweetwater Project’s first floor retail space
would include an estimated two (2) units with approximately 7,200 sf and
two (2) stories of commercial office space above with approximately 7,300
sf on each floor. The Sweetwater Project’s remaining three (3) floors
would include six (6) units on each floor (18 total units) with a mix of one
and two bedroom units.
The Sweetwater Project will provide mixed use infill development along W.
Western Avenue in the heart of downtown Muskegon. Total capital
investment is estimated at approximately $8.7 million and it is currently
anticipated construction would begin in spring 2019 with eligible activities
completed within 12 months.
Eligible Activities, Financing, Cost of Plan (Sec. 13(2)(a), (b), (c) (g)
Mall Development
Eligible activities that have been conducted on the Property include department
specific activities, demolition, lead and asbestos abatement, infrastructure
improvements, site preparation, and brownfield plan and work plan preparation
and development. TIF has been and will be used to reimburse the City, DMDC,
and developers for the cost of eligible activities undertaken by those parties and
authorized pursuant to Act 381. No costs shall be reimbursed with school
operating tax increment revenues unless they are conducted pursuant to a work
plan approved by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality or the
Michigan Strategic Fund, unless otherwise authorized by Act 381.
The following are eligible activities that have been and may be reimbursed
through Brownfield tax increment revenues:
1. Department Specific Activities: Activities necessary for developers to
undertake their environmental due diligence, and any necessary costs
related to Due Care obligations, including preparation of Due Care Plans
and implementation of Due Care Response Activities, are estimated at
$100,000. This amount is intended to accommodate the needs of the
several developers anticipated to be involved in the Mall Property
redevelopment and include Phase I, II and BEAs.
2. Demolition Activities, including Lead and Asbestos Abatement:
Demolition of most of the buildings on the Mall Property was completed
prior to original adoption of the Plan. However, subsequent developers
may require selective interior and exterior demolition of remaining
improvements on the Mall Property. Demolition costs were estimated
at $700,000.
3. Infrastructure Improvements: First, Second, Jefferson and Market
Streets were rededicated in a grid similar to the original street layout for
downtown Muskegon. DMDC sold the road and sidewalk right-of-ways
to the City to accommodate rededication of these streets. The City
then constructed the roads, sidewalks, streetscape, lighting and design.
The cost for the improvements were estimated at $1,000,000 and initial
costs were covered through a combination of grants and loans,
including a ULA Loan for $700,000 that TIF is being used to repay.
4. Site Preparation Activities: Surveys, borings, testing, staking, etc. costs
were estimated at $100,000.
In addition to the eligible activities listed above, the Authority intends to capture
tax increment revenues for the following costs, as applicable and available by
law:
Brownfield Redevelopment Authority Administrative Costs: Reasonable
and actual administrative and operating costs of the Authority from non-
school taxes would be captured. Up to $50,000/year will be captured
from the Mall Property for Administrative Costs of the Authority.
Financing Costs: The Authority intends to capture tax increment revenue to
pay for interest on the eligible expenses incurred. Interest is calculated at
5%, compounded annually, with payback beginning in 2013.
Local Brownfield Revolving Fund: The Authority intends to capture local
tax increment revenue for up to five years after all eligible activities plus
interest are reimbursed, for deposit into the Fund. The amount of school
operating taxes captured for the Fund will be limited to the amount of
school operating taxes captured for MDEQ eligible activities under the
Plan. There will be no use of the Fund to finance the redevelopment.
Subject to the priority of capture outlined below for the Sweetwater Project, an
estimate of the yearly captured taxable value and tax increment revenues for
from the Mall Property and Sweetwater Property are shown in the tax capture
table included as Attachment L-4. This table also shows the estimate of the
impact of tax increment financing on the revenues of all taxing jurisdictions
affected by this tax capture. The Mall Property and Sweetwater Property are
located within the City’s Downtown Development Authority (“DDA”) tax increment
financing boundary and it is expected that the Authority will formalize a pass-
through agreement with the DDA to ensure full brownfield capture by the
Authority for the purpose of reimbursing eligible activities under the Plan.
Sweetwater Development Project
It is intended that the amended Plan shall provide priority for reimbursement of
eligible activities conducted on the Sweetwater Property for the Sweetwater
Project, including department specific activities (i.e. Phase I and II Environmental
Site Assessment), site preparation, and infrastructure improvements. TIF
revenues generated from the Sweetwater Project will first be used to reimburse
the Sweetwater Project developer for the cost of eligible activities undertaken by
the developer on the Sweetwater Property. Following full reimbursement of the
Sweetwater Project eligible activities, TIF generated by the Sweetwater Property
may be used for any other purpose allowable under Act 381 and the Plan.
The following are eligible activities that may be reimbursed through TIF
revenues:
1. Department Specific Activities: Phase I and II Environmental Site
Assessments have been completed prior to acquisition of the Sweetwater
Property at a cost of up to $20,000.
2. Site Preparation: Site preparation activities including temporary fencing,
temporary security, temporary erosion control, grading and land balancing,
sheet piling and excavation for underground parking are estimated at
$80,000.
3. Infrastructure Improvements: Infrastructure improvements made in
connection with the Sweetwater Project include the construction of an
underground parking structure that will provide approximately eighteen (18)
spaces with another ten (10) above and road repairs/improvements in the
public ROW and are estimated at $833,000.
4. Contingency: A 15% contingency is included to cover unexpected cost
overruns encountered during rehabilitation is estimated at $136,950.
5. Brownfield Plan and/or Work Plan Preparation and Implementation: The
costs incurred to prepare, develop and implement this amended Plan
amendment and an Act 381 Work Plan are estimated at $30,000.
Financing (Section 13(2)(d)
Financing to pay for infrastructure costs for the original Mall Property
redevelopment came from a variety of grants and loans. It was intended TIF
would be used to cover the cost of eligible activities not covered by the grant
funds and to repay any outstanding loans used to pay for the infrastructure.
Remaining eligible activities funded by private developers would be reimbursed
under the amended Plan as-needed in order to foster redevelopment of the
downtown. A Development and Reimbursement Agreement will be negotiated
with any developer incurring eligible activities to provide for reimbursement
through TIF.
Effective Date of Inclusion in Brownfield Plan
The Mall Property was originally added to the Plan on October
12, 2004 with available capture commencing in 2013. It is
intended the duration of the Plan capture is the lesser of full
reimbursement of eligible activities or 30 years with capture
beginning no later than the availability of capture or 2009,
whichever comes first.

RE: Public Hearing for Amendment to Brownfield
Plan- City of Muskegon (Developer)
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To hold a public hearing and approve the attached resolution
approving and adopting the amendment for the Brownfield Plan. The amendments are for
the inclusion of properties owned by the City of Muskegon LLC in the Brownfield Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Brownfield Tax increment Financing will be used to reimburse the
developer for “eligible expenses” incurred in association with development of 48 residential
units in the Nelson Neighborhood.
“Eligible Expenses” would be reimbursed starting in 2020. The estimated tax capture and
payment schedule is included as Attachment B in the proposed Brownfield Plan Amendment.
After all eligible costs incurred by the various parties are reimbursed (estimated to be in
2032), the BRA is authorized to continue to capture local taxes for five more years for deposit
into a Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To hold the public hearing and approve the attached
resolution and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the resolution.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Muskegon City Commission set the public hearing
for May 14, 2019 at their April 23, 2019 meeting. Since that time, a notice of the public
hearing has been sent to taxing jurisdictions. In addition, the Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority approved the Plan amendment on April 9, 2019 and further recommends that the
Muskegon City Commission approve the Plan amendment.

1. Introduction
The City of Muskegon, Michigan (the “City”), established the Muskegon Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority (the “Authority”) on July 4, 1997, pursuant to Michigan Public Act
381 of 1996, as amended (“Act 381”). The primary purpose of Act 381 is to encourage the
redevelopment of eligible property by providing economic incentives through tax increment
financing for certain eligible activities.
The main purpose of this Brownfield Plan is to promote the redevelopment of and investment
in certain “Brownfield” properties within the City. Inclusion of the subject properties within
this Plan will facilitate the development of infill housing at eligible properties. By facilitating
redevelopment of underutilized properties, the Plan is intended to promote economic
growth for the benefit of the residents of the City and all taxing units located within and
benefited by the Authority.
This Plan is intended to be a living document, which can be amended as necessary to achieve
the purposes of Act 381. It is specifically anticipated that properties will be continually added
to the Plan as new projects are identified. The Plan contains general provisions applicable to
the Plan, as well as property-specific information for each project. The applicable Sections of
Act 381 are noted throughout the Plan for reference purposes.
This Brownfield Plan contains the information required by Section 13(1) of Act 381, as
amended. Additional information is available from the Muskegon City Manager or the
Planning Director.
2. General Provisions
A. Costs of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(1)(a))
Any site-specific costs of implementing this Plan are described in the site-specific section of
the Plan. Site-specific sources of funding may include tax increment financing revenue
generated from new development on eligible brownfield properties, state and federal grant
or loan funds, and/or private parties. Where private parties finance the costs of eligible
activities under the Plan, tax increment revenues may be used to reimburse the private
parties. The initial costs related to preparation of the Brownfield Plan were funded by the
City’s general fund. Subsequent amendments to the Plan may be funded by the person
requesting inclusion of a project in the Plan, and if eligible, may be reimbursed through tax
increment financing.
The Authority intends to pay for administrative costs and all of the things necessary or
convenient to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Authority with fees charged to
applicants to be included in the Plan, and any eligible tax increment revenues collected
pursuant to the Plan, in accordance with the provisions of Act 381, including, but not limited
to:
i) the cost of financial tracking and auditing the funds of the Authority,
ii) costs for amending and/or updating this Plan, and
iii) costs for Plan implementation
Tax increment revenues that may be generated and captured by this Plan are identified in the
site-specific sections of this Plan.
B. Method for Financing Costs of Plan (Section 13(1)(d) and (e))
The City or Brownfield Authority may incur some debt on a site-specific basis. Please refer to
the site-specific section of this Plan for details on any debt to be incurred by the City or
Authority. When a property proposed for inclusion in the Plan is in an area where tax
increment financing is a viable option, the Authority intends to enter into Development
Agreements with the property owners/developers of properties included in the Plan to
reimburse them for the costs of eligible activities undertaken pursuant to this Plan. Financing
arrangements will be specified in a Development and Reimbursement Agreement, and also
identified in the Site Specific section of the Plan.
C. Duration of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(1)(f))
The duration of this Plan is expected to be 19 years. It is estimated that all of the homes
associated with the Project (defined below) will be completed in 2020 and it is estimated that
it could take 14 years to recapture eligible costs through tax increment revenues. In addition,
once all activity costs are reimbursed, funds may be captured for the local site remediation
revolving fund, if available. Therefore, the duration of capture for the Project (defined below)
will begin no later than 2020 and will continue until such time that all the eligible activities
undertaken in this Plan are reimbursed, but in no event will the Plan exceed the maximum
duration provided for in (MCLA 125.2663(1)(22)). The total costs of eligible activities include
the cost of principal and interest on any note or obligation issued by the Authority to pay for
the costs of eligible activities, the cost of principal and interest otherwise incurred to pay for
eligible activities, the reasonable costs of a work plan or remedial action plan and the costs
of preparation of Brownfield Plans and amendments.
D. Displacement/Relocation of Individuals on Eligible Properties (Section 13(1)(i),(j)(k)(l)
At this time, eligible properties identified in this Plan do not contain existing residences,
therefore the provisions of Section 13(1)(i-l) are not applicable at this time.
E. Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund (Section 8; Section 13(1)(m))
Whenever this Plan includes a property for which taxes will be captured through the tax
increment financing authority provided by Act 381, it is the Authority's intent to establish and
fund a Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund ("Fund"). The Fund will consist of tax increment
revenues that exceed the costs of eligible activities incurred on an eligible property, as
specified in Section 13(5) of Act 381. Section 13(5) authorizes the capture of tax increment
revenue from an eligible property for up to 5 years after the time that capture is required for
the purposes of paying the costs of eligible activities identified in the Plan. It is the intention
of the Authority to continue to capture tax increment revenues for 5 years after eligible
activities are funded from those properties identified for tax capture in the Plan, provided
that the time frame allowed by Act 381 for tax capture is sufficient to accommodate capture
to capitalize a Fund. The amount of school operating taxes captured for the Revolving Fund
will be limited to the amount of school operating taxes captured for eligible environmental
response activities under this Plan. It may also include funds appropriated or otherwise made
available from public or private sources.
The Revolving Fund may be used to reimburse the Authority, the City, and private parties for
the costs of eligible activities at eligible properties and other costs as permitted by Act 381.
It may also be used for eligible activities on an eligible property for which there is no ability
to capture tax increment revenues. The establishment of this Revolving Fund will provide
additional flexibility to the Authority in facilitating redevelopment of brownfield properties
by providing another source of financing for necessary eligible activities.

The 28 subject properties are all zoned for residential housing. Twenty-two of the subject
properties are zoned for single family residential. Ten of those lots can be split, resulting in a
total of 34 parcels for single family homes. Six of the subject properties are zoned for multi-
family housing. This will allow for an additional 14 housing units (11 rowhomes and one
triplex). The project will result in a total of 48 housing units with an estimated investment of
over $9,000,000.

Date: April 29, 2019
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Jeffrey Lewis, Director of Public Safety
RE: Fireworks Ordinance Update (Sec. 30-303 & 30-308)
_______________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Director of Public Safety requests that the Commission consider approving an update to
our local fireworks ordinance. The State of Michigan has amended the state law effective
December 28, 2018 as it relates to fireworks use and also providing civil fines for violations.
It significantly shortens the days and times that fireworks can be discharged within the City of
Muskegon. The penalty for discharging fireworks will be a civil infraction carrying a fine of
$1,000.00 for the first offense with $500.00 of the fine collected shall be remitted to the City of
Muskegon Police Department as provided for in MCL.28.457 (3)
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Revenue generated will be put into a separate account as prescribed above.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
