SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the transfer of ownership of lots 352 & 353
Urban Renewal Plat No. 2 to Ciggzree Morris. The property would be transferred for
the cost to record the deed ($9.00) as well as any taxes or other fees owed to the
City. Ms. Morris purchased the subject property as well as several other pieces in
1994. At the time of purchase Ms. Morris was obligated to construct homes on the
lots within 18 months. The subject property was the only property where a house was
not constructed. In 1995 Ms. Morris sought and obtained an extension which was
good through July of 1996. While the City had discretion to seize the property
anytime after July of 1995, there is no record of ever doing so. A title commitment by
Metropolitan Title Company shows the City as the owner, while City records show Ms.
Morris. At this point, Ms. Morris is in a position to build.

on the new home and relieve the City of continued maintenance costs.

m. Final Amendments to 1999 Budget. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Adoption of the year-end amendments to the City's 1999
Budget to assure compliance with the State Uniform Budget Act. This act requires
that budgets for "governmental-type" funds (i.e. general fund, special revenue
funds, and debt service funds) be amended so that expenditures are not reported in
the City's audit as exceeding legal appropriations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: These budget amendments establish the final 1999
authorized revenue estimates and spending limits for the various City departments
and funds. The schedule shows how the amended budget varies from the original
budget (and subsequent budget re forecasts) previously approved by the City
Commission. For the City's General Fund, unaudited net results for the year show that
expenditures exceeded revenues by $457,694; at the time the third quarter budget
reforecast was prepared, it was projected that expenditures would exceed revenues
by $235,017. The memorandum discusses the budget situation in more detail.

2. Purchase Price and Manner of Payment. The purchase price for the Premises
shall be Eleven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($11,500), payable in cash or City check to
Buyer at closing.
3. Taxes and Assessments. All taxes and assessments which are due and payable
at the time of closing shall be paid by Seller prior to or at closing. All taxes and special
assessments which become due and payable after closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer;
provided, because the Premises is part of a larger property, the parties agree that Seller shall pay
in full all taxes due in 1999, including those billed on December I, 1999, and Buyer shall
reimburse Seller for a prorated portion of the said December 1999 tax bill, which shall be pro-
rated prospectively in accordance with MCL 211.2 (3).
4. Title Insurance. Buyer will obtain, ten (10) days prior to closing, a commitment
for title insurance issued by a licensed and recognized title insurance company for an amount not
less than the purchase price stated in this Agreement, guaranteeing title on the conditions
required herein. In the event the reservations, restrictions or easements of
G:\COMMON\5\GTJ\C-TRAIL\KAMM.PA -I-
record disclosed by said title commitment are, in the sole discretion of Buyer, deemed
unreasonable, Seller shall have forty-five (45) days from the date Seller is notified in writing of

If Seller resolves such restrictions and remedies the title (by obtaining satisfactory title insurance
or otherwise) within the time specified, Buyer agrees to complete this sale as herein provided,
within ten (10) days of written notification thereof. If Seller fails to resolve such restrictions or

Buyer or its surveyor or other agents may enter the Premises for that purpose prior to closing. If
no survey is obtained, Buyer agrees that Buyer is relying solely upon Buyer's own judgment as to
the location, boundaries and area of the Premises and improvements thereon without regard to
any representations that may have been made by Seller or any other person. In the event that a
survey by a registered land surveyor made prior to closing discloses an encroachment or
substantial variation from the presumed land boundaries or area, Seller shall have the option of
effecting a remedy within thirty (30) days after disclosure. Buyer may elect to purchase the
Premises subject to said encroachment or variation.
7. Environmental Matters. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:
a. To the best of Seller's knowledge, the Premises have been used and
operated by it in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and
regulations related to air quality, water quality, waste disposal or management, hazardous
or toxic substances, and the protection of health and the environment.
b. Seller has not disposed of any hazardous or toxic substances on or in the
Premises, but the premises may have been characterized as part of a "facility" under
Michigan law. The Premises may constitute a facility because of historic fill materials in
or in the vicinity of the Premises. Seller is unaware of any plume of contaminated
groundwater in or affecting the Premises.
c. The Premises does not include any "underground storage tank," as that
term is defined by state or federal law to the best of its knowledge.

survey by a registered land surveyor made prior to closing discloses an encroachment or
substantial variation from the presumed land boundaries or area, Seller shall have the option of
effecting a remedy within thirty (30) days after disclosure. Buyer may elect to purchase the
Premises subject to said encroachment or variation.

RE: Property and Auto Physical Damage Insurance
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Recently the City solicited proposals for Property and
Auto Physical Damage Insurance. The following is a summary of the results.
McCarthy-Cooper Jerviss-Fethke
MMRMA Indiana General Allmerica Financial
Property - $5,000 Deductible - 78,763.00 25,744.00 90,919.00
(MMRMA $1,000 Deductible)
Auto Physical Damage - include above 71,958.00 130,000.00
$1,000 Deductible
Inland Marine - Equipment include above 9,515.00 included above
Floater $1,000 Deductible
Total $78,763.00 $107,217.00 $220,919.00
**Please note the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Authority (MMRMA) can not
separate property and vehicle physical damage coverage so both are included in the
premium quoted. In addition their property coverage includes Boiler & Machinery and
Crime coverage. Their property insurance deductible is $1,000 and the City would be
responsible for 10% of the next $100,000 of any loss.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: To provide the City with proper coverage to prevent
catastrophic financial loss.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time. Funds to cover the cost of the
property and physical damage insurance have been programmed into this year's
budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Selection of Michigan Municipal Risk Management
Authority (MMRMA) to provide property and auto physical damage insurance coverage
to the City for the next three years. MMRMA is the lowest bidder with the added benefit
of Boiler & Machinery and Crime coverage which currently cost the City approximately
$5,000 per year. This selection would put all of our insurances with one vendor which
provides us with numerous administrative benefits.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENATION: The Committee of the Whole will meet
Monday February 21 st to further discuss this item.
Date: February 22, 2000

substandard, a public nuisance and that the case be sent to the City
Commission for concurrence. The house previously was owned by
Jonathon Brandel and had been damaged by fire. There has been no
contact by the owner, nor has there been any permits issued for repair.
The estimated cost of bringing the property into compliance with City
codes is $25,000.
According to our records, taxes are up to date.

RE: Transfer of Vacant Land in Marquette
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
To approve the the transfer of ownership of lots 352 & 353 Urban Renewal Plat No. 2
to Ciggzree Morris. The property would be transferred for the cost to record the deed
($9.00) as well as any taxes or other fees owed to the City. Ms. Morris purchased the
subject property as well as several other pieces in 1994. At the time of purchase Ms.
Morris was obligated to construct homes on the lots within 18 months. The subject
property was the only propety where a house was not constructed. In 1995 Ms. Morris
sought and obtained an extension which was good through July of 1996. While the
City had discretion to sieze the property anytime after July of 1995, there is no record of
ever doing so. A title commitment by Metropolitan Title Company shows the City as the
owner, while City records show Ms. Morris. At this point, Ms. Morris is in a postion to
build.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The transfer of the property will allow the City to collect taxes on the new home and
relieve the City of continued maintenace costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the transfer of ownership , as well as, authorization for
both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign the attached resolution and deed.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
None.

RE: Final Amendments to 1999 Budget
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Adoption of the attached year-end amendments to the
City's 1999 Budget to assure compliance with the State Uniform Budget Act. This act
requires that budgets for "governmental-type" funds (i.e. general fund, special revenue funds,
and debt service funds) be amended so that expenditures are not reported in the City's audit
as exceeding legal appropriations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: These budget amendments establish the final 1999 authorized
revenue estimates and spending limits for the various City departments and funds. The
attached schedule shows how the amended budget varies from the original budget (and
subsequent budget reforecasts) previously approved by the City Commission. For the City's
General Fund, unaudited net results for the year show that expenditures exceeded revenues
by $457,694; at the time the third quarter budget reforecast was prepared, it was projected
that expenditures would exceed revenues by $235,017. The attached memorandum
discusses the budget situation in more detail.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: Self-explanatory.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Committee of the Whole will meet
on Monday, February 21 5T to further discuss this item.

Re: 1999 Final Budget Amendments
Attached is a copy of the city's final 1999 amended budget. General fund results for the year
were not good with expenditures exceeding revenues by $457,694. Following is a brief
summary of some of the underlying causes of the budget imbalance:
Revenues
Three primary general fund revenue sources, when taken together, account for more than
76% of total general fund income: income tax, property tax, and state shared revenues. It is
notable that all three of these revenue sources not only came in lower than expected, but
actually produced less income in 1999 than in 1998:
City income tax - 1999 income tax revenues totaled $6,403,585 which was $138,832 under
projection and $47,379 less than was collected in 1998. There are two principal reasons for
the low numbers: 1) a single corporate refund was made in the amount of $65,000 to a local
company that had incorrectly reported allocated sales data and overpaid taxes in prior years
and, 2) accrual of fourth quarter withholdings was lower than in 1998 due in part to use of a
more accurate method for computing the accrual. Additionally, of course, economic growth
in the central city has not kept pace with state or regional growth rates.
Property tax - 1999 property taxes totaled $5,007,035 or $73,271 less than collected in
1998. This is due to large adjustments made in 1997 to the personal property assessments
of Sappi. 1997 assessments were the basis for fiscal 1999 property tax collections.
• Page 1
C:\My Documents\MEMO - CITY COMMISSION 1999 BUDGET REVIEW.doc
State-shared revenue- The method for allocating state-shared revenues was overhauled
through legislation passed in 1998. Many of the changes will be phased in over several
years and will be beneficial to the city. Unfortunately, in late 1999 we learned that as part of
the transition, the state had lowered its estimate of payments for the months of December
and February (which is accrued to 1999) and, as a result, the city's total 1999 revenue from
this source would be $4,863,361 - $186,639 less than budgeted and $43,144 less than in
1998. This is a one-time problem caused in part by the fact that the city and state are on
different fiscal years. For 2000 the state is telling us we can expect an 8% increase which is
in line with the amount budgeted ($5,225,000).
In addition to the three major revenue sources, there were shortfalls in other revenue
categories that added to the problem:
• Housing licenses were down significantly due to a de-emphasis of internal inspections in
favor of external inspections that had occurred under the prior director.
• Interest income was lower than projected due primarily to the fact that less cash was
available to invest.
• Property transfer affidavit fines were not pursued in 1999 because of manpower
shortages in the former City Assessor's office. The County Equalization department has
begun the process of notifying affected property owners of their obligations and we will
begin to see revenue from this source in 2000.
• Operating transfers to the general fund were lower than anticipated due largely to an
administrative decision to postpone transfer of the LDFA "pass-thru" to the city until State
Tax Commission audits are finalized.
Expenditures
General fund expenditures totaled $21,701,933 which is $280,469 less than projected during
the 3"' quarter budget reforecast. Expenses were controlled primarily by cutting general fund
transfers to the major and local street funds once the magnitude of the revenue shortfall
became clear. Although total expenditures were kept in line with budget forecasts, there
were problem areas that exacerbated the overall budget shortfall:
LC Walker Arena - The 1999 general fund subsidy to arena operations was $325,000, or
$225,000 more than originally anticipated.
Sanitation - Due to a billing error made at the time Laidlaw was sold to Sunset Waste
Services, the city was undercharged for sanitation service in 1998 and had to pay the
additional cost in 1999. As a result, both the Sanitation and Recycling budgets were higher
than anticipated.
City Assessor- One-time costs for transitioning the former employees of the City Assessor's
office to the County Equalization Office (sick and vacation payoffs, etc.) coupled with the fact
that the first contractual payment to the county was made in the 4th quarter caused this
budget to be exceeded.
• Page2
Fire - Fire department costs were over budget due to higher than expected overtime
(caused by three major fires and special events) and also unexpected major repairs to the
1984 Sutphen Quint.
Summary
1999 was not a good financial year for the general fund and should serve to highlight the
seriousness of the city's budget situation. Although some of the problems encountered are
one-time in nature (e.g. the state-shared revenue shortfall), it is clear that recurring income of
the general fund cannot support the level of services currently provided. Moreover, there are
other troublesome issues on the horizon that will not help the situation:
• 2000 Census - Projections indicate the city will lose population, which will erode state
and federal funding sources.
• Rising healthcare costs - The city receives a double jolt from rising health costs since it
provides generous health benefits not only to its active employees but also for 300+ city
retirees and their beneficiaries.
• Phase-out of federal police grants - Fourteen police positions have been added in recent
years through the assistance of generous federal grant programs. Unfortunately, the
grants do not provide recurring funding beyond three years and are rapidly phasing out.
• Personal property - In 1999 the State Tax Commission dramatically revised schedules
used to depreciate corporate personal property to reflect the shorter useful lives of many
personal property categories (e.g. computer software and hardware) from when the
schedules were originally adopted in the 1970's. These changes will have a significant
negative impact on city property taxes more than offsetting 1999 new taxable value
growth. Moreover, the best guess for the longer term is that personal property taxes will
be completely phased out.
• Stagnant income tax growth - Absent major new development within the city, it is clear
that revenue from the city income tax has peaked. A good indicator of this is the fact that
1999 income tax withholdings from the City's 15 largest sources increased only 1. 79%
despite the good overall economy. Additionally, several of these sources (e.g. hospitals)
are in industries where it is unrealistic to anticipate much future growth.
On the positive side, it can be stated that the city has prepared for such a contingency by
setting aside adequate fund balance reserves in prior years. While the 1999 year-end fund
balance will be lower than it should be, we have time to manage the situation in a prudent
manner before being faced with a budget "crisis." Accordingly, in addition to adopting the
attached budget amendments for 1999, it will be necessary to make significant amendments
to the city's 2000 budget. Staff is working on specific amendments that will be proposed to
you in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the city manager has put in place procedures for
critical evaluation of all vacant positions.
Thank you and if you have any questions please let us know.

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
NEVADA STREET
YOUNG TO LAKETON
The resurfacing of Nevada Street between Young and Laketon, see attached map, is being
proposed as a result of the need to replace the 6" watermain within that section of Nevada. It is
our recommendation that, since almost one-half of the existing pavement would be removed as
part of the trench for the watermain, the entire pavement surface be removed and replaced with a
new asphalt pavement. Furthermore, that the existing pavement within the section of Nevada
between Young and Windsor receive a credit of 50%.
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 $50,000 with
the length of the project being approximately 1,287 lineal feet or 1,844.25 of assessable front
footage which translates into an estimated improvement cost of $27 .11 per assessable foot.
However, the assessment amount will be at a cost not to exceed $4.83 per assessable front foot
for that section of Nevada between Young and Windsor, and at $9.65 per assessable foot for the
section between Windsor and Laketon. The figures took into account that the Nevada between
Young and Windsor has a residual value and the section between Windsor and Laketon did not.

I Mr. Al-Shatel:
I In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special
assessment district entailing the resurfacing of Nevada Street between Laketon
I A venue and Young A venue. 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
February 15, 2000.
I In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this
I 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 rates of $4.83 and $9.65
I appear reasonable in light of analysis that indicates a probable enhancement of
$10.89. The conclusions are based upon the data presented within this limited
analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my files.

Commissioners to the Board of Assessors if it is determined to proceed with the project
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None at this time.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To create the special assessment and assign two City Commissioners to the Board of
Assessors by adopting the attached resolution
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This request will be reviewed by the Committee of the Whole at the February 21, 2000
meeting
CITY OF MUSK.EGON
Resolution No. 2000-29 ( c)
Resolution At First Hearing Creating Special Assessment District
For Laketon Ave., 55.77' East of the Centerline of Wood Street to Getty Street
Location and Description of Properties to be Assessed:
See Exhibit A attached to this resolution
RECITALS:
1. A hearing has been held on FEBRUARY 22, 2000 at 5:30 o'clock p.m. at the
City Commission Chambers. Notice was given by mail and publication as
required by law.
2. That estimates of costs of the project, a feasibility report and valuation and benefit
information are on file with the City and have been reviewed for this hearing.
3. At the hearing held FEBRUARY 22, 2000, there were 44. 28 % objections by the
owners of the property in the district registered at the hearing either in writing received
before or at the hearing or by owners or agents present at the hearing, and the
Commission has considered the advisability of proceeding with the project.
FINDINGS:
1. The City Commission has examined the estimates of cost to construct the project
including all assessable expenses and determines them to be reasonable.
2. The City Commission has considered the value of the property to be assessed and the
value of the benefit to be received by each property proposed to be assessed in the district
after the improvements have been made. The City Commission determines that the
assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the value of the properties to be
assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the improvement
thereby constitutes a benefit to the property.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The City Commission hereby declares a special assessment district to include the
property set forth in Exhibit A attached to this resolution.
2. The City Commission determines to proceed with the improvements as set forth in the
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 Schweifler and Benedict
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 8.39% 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
LAKETON AVENUE
WOOD TO GETTY
The proposed improvements on Laketon Avenue, Wood to Getty, see attached location map,
consists of milling and resurfacing the existing pavement as well as constructing a left tum
(major rehabilitation) lane.
The City, due to the following reasons, initiated the proposed improvements:
1. The road surface has deteriorated to a point where typical maintenance activities such
patching, crack sealing and resurfacing are no longer feasible and would have no impact on
the life of the pavement. It is also evident that the pavement condition is at a critical stage
where holding off this improvement might increase the possibility for the need to reconstruct
rather than mill-resurface.
2. Accident history for 1996, 1997 & 98 revealed a total of 28-left tum related accident.
Therefor, by constructing a left turn lane the number of accident should drop considerably, if
not eliminated.
A memorandum from the Assessor's office, which addresses appraisal and benefits to abutting
properties, is attached.
The preliminary cost estimate of the project is $500,000. The total length of the project is 2,529'
with 1,383.73' of assessable footage. This translates into an estimated improvement cost of
$197.71 per assessable foot. However, the assessment amount will be at a cost not to exceed
$30.35 per assessable front foot. The Engineering Department bases the "not-to-exceed"
assessment of$30.35 per assessable foot on the established 2000 Special Assessment ~ost
Estimates prepared.

I Mr. Al-Shatel:
I In accordance with your request, I have exantlned the proposed special
assessment district entailing the addition of a fifth, or left turn lane and the
I resurfacing of Laketon Avenue between Getty Street and Wood 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
I subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power
and eminent domain. The effective date is January 24, 2000.
I In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this
I 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$30.35 appears
I reasonable in light of analysis that indicates a probable enhancement of $33 .59.
The conclusions are based upon the data presented within this limited analysis in
restricted format, and on supporting information in my files.

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
FOREST A VENUE
BARCLAY TO FRANKLIN
The resurfacing of Forest Ave. between Barclay and Franklin, see attached map, is being
proposed as a result of the need to replace the 6" watermain within that section of Forest. It is
our recommendation, since almost one-half of the existing pavement would be removed as part
of the trench for the watermain, that the entire pavement surface be removed and replaced with a
new asphalt pavement and that the existing pavement receive a credit of I 0%.
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 $30,000 with
the length of the project being approximately 610 lineal feet or 968.04 of assessable front footage
which translates into an estimated improvement cost of$30.99 per assessable foot. However, the
assessment amount will be at a cost not to exceed $8.69 per assessable front foot. This figure
takes into account the residual value of the existing pavement by reducing the assessable footage
cost from $9.65 to $8.69.

Mr. Al-Shatel:
In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special
assessment district entailing the resurfacing of Forest Avenue between Franklin
Street and Barclay 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
escheat, taxation, police power and eminent domain. The effective date is
January 24, 2000.
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 a mixture of properties, but the front foot rate of $8.69 appears
reasonable in light of analysis that indicates a probable enhancement of $9 .13.
The conclusions are based upon the data presented within this limited analysis in
restricted format, and on supporting information in my files.
Sincerely,
hQ~
