 Mayor Fred Nielson
 Ci"ly of Muskegon
 933 Terrace
 Muskegon, MI 49440

 Dear Mayor Nielsen,

         for the past 52 years, the Miss Michigan Scholarship Pageant has been a fixture in downtown
 Muskegon. Our franchise with the Miss America Organization is reviewed yearly and evaluated partly
 on community support, financial contribution, and media e)(posure. The Miss Michigan Scholarship
 Pageant Inc. is a non-profit 501C(4) corporation and our ta)( ID number is 38-1753186. Our
 fu11drnisers, along with generous sponsoir support have enabled us to consistently be among the top
 10 states in the Nation for scholarship awards. Over the last two years, the Miss Michigan
 Scholairship Program has awarded scholarships in e)(cess of $105,000.00 to its competing contestants
 from across the state cl' Michigan.

        In order to continue awarding scholarships at this level, and secure our Muskegon fnmchise
 with the Miss America Organization, the Miss Michigan Scholarship Program needs the City of
 Muskegon's financial support. I am petitioning to the City of Muskegon for a $10,000.00 cash
 donation to the Miss Michigan Scholarship Pageant, Inc. This donation would be deposited into our
 Scholarship Fund and dispersed to the 2001 competing contestants.

        I would like the opportunity to meet with you, at your convenience, to discuss our rnquest
 and more fully describe the Miss Michigan Scholarship Pirogi-am. I will follow up, via phone, within
 the next week. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

#00-33 - 935 JEFFERSON - Bonna Hoople, 760 Eugene, Muskegon, Ml.

Grabinski reminded the Board that they tabled this case for 30 days at the June,
2000 meeting to allow time for completion of repairs and/or sale of property.
There has been no change in ownership and no progress made on repairs.

Mrs. Hoople attended the meeting with her Real-estate Agent. The agent stated
that the property is still marketed for sale at $15,000.00. An interested buyer is
on vacation out of town right now and the Agent wasn't sure when she would talk
with him again. Ms. Hoople's daughter was speaking with the Agent regarding
renovating the building and renting it out. The agent and Mrs. Hoople requested
more time to come up with a buyer.

Some discussion took place regarding the proceedings if the Board moved to
condemn it would be forwarded to the city commission in 30 days.

Mr. Mayor made a motion, supported by John Warner, to table the case for 6
weeks to give time for a buyer of the property. The case will be reviewed at the
10/5/2000 meeting.
A roll call vote was taken:

AYES:                   NAYS:           ABSENT:                    EXCUSED:

Meeting minutes: Jo        arner ma      motion, seconded by Randy Mackie to
                      to the April meetin . The motion carried.

Case# 00      -1651 Dyson, Marshal Redder, 60 30 th St., SW Grandville Ml
           . Secretary, Robert B. Grabinski, asked Chairman to remove the
cas    om the agenda due to progress being made. Ins   tors will monitor the
    e. The Board agreed.

Case# 00-33 - 935 Jefferson, Bonna Hoople, 760 Eugene, Muskegon Ml
49441. Ms. Hoople did attend the meeting. Mr. Grabinski informed the Board
that some pictures of the dwelling in this case are being presented by way of a
projector and are being shown on the wall of the Chambers. The pictures were
taken the morning of the meeting date. (4/5/01 ).

Staff History: Grabinski informed the board that the case was started in March of
2000. Mrs. Hoople pulled a permit in September and work did start on tl~e ,
property. The owner did get a loan. Once the structure work was going to be
started, the contractor found the structure was in very poor condition and in need
of replacement at the point that that happened it was in conjunctive with the
electrical service that was going out of the building. There has been no work
done since then. Pictures of the dwelling where displayed by projector. Mrs.
Hoople was asked to approach the Board at the podium.

Owner explanation: Ms. Hoople was in attendance and approached the podium.
She explained to the board that she hadn't been working on the project due to
her daughter being in the hospital. Ms. Hoople was apologizing for the work. Mr.
Grabinski reminded Ms. Hoople that the contractor is responsible for his own
work and that is why a permit is pulled. However, staff would like to be clear that
her contractor quit because of the foundation structure and the cost of it.
    1113.\ \!tnutes-l 01




    Ms. Hoople was explaining to the board that she wanted to fix the foundation.
    Mr. Borgman said that his concern was the foundation. He asked how Ms.
    Hoople was going to do this. He said if your foundation is bad, you can put all
    the money you want into it but it won't pass inspection. The only way to fix it is to
    remove it and put a whole new foundation in. Ms. Hoople stated again that she
    had a contractor to do the work. Mr. Borgman disagreed and reminded Ms.
    Hoople that the contractor told staff that he would no longer work on the project
    because it was a lost cause. Ms. Hoople stated that the contractor never told her
    that he was not continuing work and she has paid him money. Mr. Grabinski
    stated that from staff's prospective p_art of the problem is that you were one of
    two in the neighborhood that were brought before this board and the other one
    that is next door to you is complete. We have received complaints from that
    owner and from other businesses in the downtown area due to what they see
    when they pull up.

    Staff Recommendation: Due to the condition of the foundation, staff suggests
    declaring the structure a dangerous building, unsafe, a ,public nuisance and
    forward the case to the city commission for concurrence.

    Discussion: Mr. Fred Nielsen asked Ms. Hoople if he heard her say that she had
    a contractor that is interested in repairing the foundation. She said yes. Mr.
    Nielsen asked if she has made appointments with him. Ms. Hoople replied that
    he was supposed to call her. Grabinski reminded Board that with the board
    declaring the structure a dangerous building, she still has 30 days for repairs to
    be completed. If in the 30 days the repairs are not completed, the case will go
    before the City Commission.

    Motion: Randy Mackie, supported by John Warner, made a motion to declare
    the structure at 935 Jefferson dangerous, substandard, unsafe, a public nuisance
    and forward to the City Commission for Concurrence.

    A Roll Call vote was taken:

    AYES:                  NAYES:             EXCUSED:                     ABSENT:

RE:            HIGH SERVICE PUMP #2 - 12 MILLION GALLON
               PER DAY (12 MGD)


BACKGROUND
High seNice pump #2 was removed for repair by our contractor, Peerless-Midwest, Inc.,
because it was not rotating freely. We received a repair cost estimate from Peerless
based on their experience with two previous pump rebuilds, including cost increases.
The original repair information from the April 10, 2001 City Commission Agenda is
attached.

ADDITIONAL REPAIRS
Upon removal of the pump it was evident there was significant corrosion on the pump
column. Peerless disassembled the pump and found a number of items that required
repair. The two major items are the replacement of an impeller, the welding repair, sand
blasting and protective coating of the pump column. Additionally shaft sections, shaft
sleeves and bearings must be replaced. Included are representative photographs of the
impeller, pump sleeves and pitting on the pump column. Also included is the cost
estimate for the aforementioned, additional, repairs.

WATER DEMAND
The Filtration Plant is beginning to experience an increase in water demand with the
coming of warmer weather. High SeNice Pump #2 is heavily relied upon to meet the
peak water demand during the summer months.

NOTICE TO PROCEED
The unexpected events and unexpected conditions are unfortunate; none-the-less it is
imperative that this pump be repaired. It is expected these necessary repairs will require
more than six weeks to complete. Due to this situation Peerless-Midwest has been
authorized to proceed with the necessary repairs and expedite the repair process at a
cost of $11,724.99.

       COMMENTS:

       Please find the attached pricing sheets for actual parts per the shop tear down list.
       Pricing is divided into major and nonnal pump parts. The two big ticket items in
       this list is the impeller and the welding and epoxy coating of the column pipe.

       Regan:ling the impeller -- Surprising to me l - cost of a new impeller was actually
       cheaper than repair of the old unit. We have double checlced and factory verified
       pricing again this am. I expected the impeller to be double this price or more based
       on pricing of other 26" enclosed impellers.

       Column pipe 18" - pricing is to sand blast to near white & Printer and epoity coat to 5 mils
       as per pump standards.

        I'm advised 6 weeks deliveiy on the impeller, 4 weeks on all other parts and services.

       Note: when you factor out the machine shop labor the$ 6478.64 reduces to$ 5701.74
       Which is S 1606.94 over 1995 pricing before 13.25% wholesale price increases.

        We have a order on hold for the listed parts pending any changes or questions you may
        have. Please advise your wishes.

        Thanks.

    RE:               HIGH SERVICE PUMP #2 -
                      12 MILLION GALLON PER DAY (12 MGD)



    The High Service Pumps; 2-6 MGD and 2-12 MGD, in the 1972 Pumphouse
    are the primary pumps used to move water into the distribution system and
    elevated storage tanks.

    The upper bearing oil on High Service pump #4 (6 MGD) started to show
    discoloration (blackened). Kevin Herbert, Chief Operator, had the oil tested
    by Chevron (oil mfg.). The test results showed high iron content. Additionally
    this pump started to show elevated vibration levels. While waiting for the oil
    test results the pump was balanced & the oil flushed and changed.

    Kevin began researching what would cause the iron content in the oil.
    Indications were that it wasn't a bearing problem (no chromium or nickel) so
    he asked Hall/Jones Elec. to look further into the problem & re-check the
    balance. This revealed that the bearings were rotating in the casting
    (unacceptable) and causing the iron particle~. Subsequently, the shaft hub
    has been machined to specs. and the bearings replaced.

    The remaining three pumps were examined for the same condition. None
    displayed signs of this condition but Pump #2 (12 MGD) did not rotate freely
    like the other pumps.

    Kevin contacted Peerless-Midwest and asked them to take a look at this and
    make recommendation. Peerless adjusted the shaft throw and everything
    else they could think would relieve the condition; only to loosen the binding
    slightly (the other pumps can be rotated by hand - this one cannot). They
    spent over three hours working on the pump, not including travel from Ionia at
    no charge to us.

    We have taken pump #2 out of service but have not "locked" it out. This
    allows the Plant Operator to use it only if absolutely necessary until such time
    as it can be repaired.
       You may recall that Peerless-Midwest rebuilt High Service pumps #1 & 3 in
       late 1995 and early 1996. We were quite pleased with their performance.
       Subsequent to that work, they recently rebuilt the booster pump #2 located at
       the Keating St. station.

       We solicited a cost for a re-build of pump #2 from Peerless Midwest because
       we are approaching the summer season and a repair of this sort may take as
       much as 6 to 8 weeks. This time frame is further compounded by spring
       weight restrictions on the roadways.

       The pricing estimate submitted by Peerless-Midwest, Inc. to perform a pump
       rebuild similar to that performed in 1996 is $20,100.00. This is an unplanned,
       but necessary, expenditure that will require a budget transfer.

       Re:            False Information Ordinance, Section 12-l(b)

       Dear Tony:

       I am attaching a proposed amended section (b) which I believe will satisfy our concerns about
       the use of that section by police officers who may have interpreted it to allow the arrest of
       persons solely because they failed to give their names and other identifying information during,
       for instance, a Terry stop or other questioning where there is no probable cause or reasonable
       belief that the defendant has committed a crime. A good review of the law on the subject is
       found in a Western District opinion by Judge Quist in Risbridger v Connelly, 122 F.Supp.2d 857.
       This was an East Lansing case where a police officer who had made a valid Terry stop, but had
       no further probable cause to arrest the defendant, was being sued along with East Lansing and
       others for violation of the plaintiff's Fourth Amendment rights together with other constitutional
       rights, state and federal. The officer had arrested the defendant after a valid Terry stop, solely
       because he refused to give his name. The case contains a pretty good review of all the case law
       in this area.

       Please look this over and tell me whether we should go ahead and start the ball rolling before the
       city commission to make a change.

                       lly, is there any reason to look at a new disorderly ordinance? We briefly mentioned
                       did not pursue.

Staff report excerpt

BACKGROUND
Case 2001-17: Request to rezone property located in Block 761 (on Dewey St. and
Nelson St.) from R-1, Single-Family Residential to LR, Lakefront Recreation, by John
Darien.

STAFF OBSERVATIONS
I. The property is currently zoned single family residential, R-1. Lakefront Recreation
   permits residential development with a special use permit, but it also permits several
   other uses that would not be well-suited for this site (e.g., restaurants, cocktail
   lounges, hotels). A condition of the special use permit case (following) should be to
   only permit the proposed residential development presented with minor site plan
   changes.
2. The Harbortowne development, immediately east of this site, is currently zoned LR.
3. At some point in the future, if this land were not developed, the city could be
   petitioned to dissolve the Special Use Permit in which case the underlying LR zoning
   remams.
4. The parcel is just over three acres (with all vacations). Under present zoning, without
   all the vacations, approximately 14 homes could be developed on this land.
5. There is no restriction on density in the LR zone, but height is limited to four stories.
   Again, the special use permit could limit the scope (i.e. height) of the structures.
6. The Future Land Use Map shows the subject property to be single family residential
   immediately adjacent to PUD/residential.
7. The Master Plan recommends for this sub-area:
   ... "it is the goal of the Master Plan to maintain the quality and character ofsubarea
   8, while permitting select (and highly restricted) residential and commercial
   enhancements consistent with the range of subarea uses. 11

ORDINANCE EXCERPTS

ARTICLE IV - RONE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS

Preamble

These districts are designed to be composed of low density residential development. The regulations are
intended to stabilize, protect, and encourage the residential character of the district and prohibit activities
not compatible with a residential neighborhood. Development is limited to single family dwellings and
such other uses as schools, parks, churches, and certain public facilities which serve residents of the
district. It is the intent of these districts to recognize that the City of Muskegon has been developed and
platted with some Jots that are smaller than those found in recently urbanized communities, and the
standards in Section 2100 reflect residential development standards that the citizens of Muskegon find to be
compatible.

SECTION 400: PRINCIPAL USES PERMITTED
In R, One Family Residential, Districts no building or land shall be used and no building shall be erected,
structurally altered, or occupied except for one or more of the following specified uses, unless otherwise
provided in this Ordinance;

         1.       One Family detached dwellings.

         2.       Home occupation ofa non-industrial nature may be permitted subject to the following:

                  a.       Only members of the immediate family residing on the premises may be
                           employed.

                  b.       There shall be no exterior display or signage other than that signage allowed for
                           home occupations under the sign requirements of this ordinance. [amended
                           1l/00]

                  c.       No stock in trade shall be kept, or commodities sold, except as incidental to
                           services rendered.

                  d.       The primary function of the premises shall be that of the residence of the family,
                           and the occupation shall not exceed twenty-five (25) percent of any one (l) floor
                           of the principal building.

                  e.       There shall be no outside storage or processing. All activity must be conducted
                           within a preexisting structure.

                  f.       Activities specifically prohibited include repair or service of motor vehicles and
                           other large equipment; service or manufacturing processes which would
                           nonnally require industrial zoning; any activity which may become a nuisance
                           due to noise, unsightliness or odor; and any activity which may affect
                           surrounding property.
                  g.       No more than two (2) customer vehicles for the occupation shall be parked at the
                           premises at any one time on a frequent continuing basis.

                  h.       No activity legally excluded by any deed restriction or other tenant or owner
                           restrictions shall be permitted.

         3.       Congregate living facility for not more than two persons, provided that such facility shall
                  be at least one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet from any other similar facility.

         5.      Uses similar to the above Principal Uses Permitted.

SECTION 40 I: SPECIAL LAND USES PERMITTED

The following uses, and their accessory buildings and accessory uses, shall be permitted under the purview

              thoroughfare and the site shall be so planned as to provide ingress and egress
              directly onto said major thoroughfare.

     b.       Front, side, and, rear yards shall be at least fifty (50) feet wide, except on those
              sides adjacent to nonresidential districts, and shall be landscaped in trees,
              shrubs, grass, and terrace areas. All such landscaping shall be maintained in a
              healthy condition. There shall be no parking or structures permitted in these

Staff report excerpt


BACKGROUND
Case 2001-15: Request for vacation of a portion of Dewey St. (south of Ohio St. to its
terminus).

STAFF OBSERVATIONS

1.   Since Harbortowne Circle is so close to the Dewey Street right-of-way, it seems
     unnecessary to keep that undeveloped "paper" street.
2.   There is a strip of privately owned land between the Dewey Street right-of-way and
     Harbortowne Circle that has prevented access to Harbortowne Circle from the
     subject parcel in the past. An easement or some other form of permanent legal
     access for residents and utilities needs to be provided over this land. This should be
     a condition of the vacation so access to Harbortowne Circle will not be an issue at
     some point in the future, regardless of current or future ownership.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Abandon Dewey Street with the recommended conditions.

DELIBERATION

I move that the vacation of a portion of Dewey St. (south of Ohio St. to its terminus) be
(approved/denied), because _ _ _ (based on the following conditions--only if
approved):

        1. Access for residents and utilities be permanently conveyed over any private
           lands between the existing Dewey Street right-of-way and the Harbortowne
           Circle right-of way to Harbortowne Circle, regardless of future property
           ownership and that the granting of that access be provided in an appropriate
           legal form to the City Attorney prior to the City Commission finalizing the
           Dewey Street vacation.

Case 2001-14: Request for vacation of both the north/south and the east/west alleys in
Block 761 (bounded by Beach St., Nelson St., Ohio St., and Dewey St.), by John Darien.

STAFF OBSERVATIONS

1. Both of the alleys are "paper" and unused by area residents.
2. As long as our easements are retained and no structures are placed over them,
   abandonment was not seen as a problem by staff (Planning, Engineering, Fire, and
   DPW)

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Abandoned the alleys and retain any necessary easements on the condition no structures
may be placed over the easements.
