RE: Public Employee Health Care Investment Act (PA 149 of 1999)
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To take actions implementing provisions of the
"Public Employee Health Care Investment Act (PA 149 of 1999). This act authorizes
the City to create a new fund for the accumulation and investment of funds to provide
for retiree health benefits. The following actions are requested:
1. Adoption of the attached resolution establishing the "Employee Health Care Fund" in accordance
with PA 149;
2. Adoption of the attached amendments to both the General Employees' and Police and Fire
Retirement System ordinances which "freezes" the current method of retiree healthcare funding
and provides for future retiree healthcare funding to be done through the new fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The City of Muskegon has long been pre-funding
retiree healthcare benefits in much the same manner as PA 149 provides. Adoption
of PA 149 provides a firmer legal foundation for pre-funding and investing retiree
healthcare assets.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The City's pension boards will meet on
May 19th to consider this issue.

Memo
To: City Commis i6n
From:
CC:
Date: 05/12/00
Re: Public Employee Health Care Investment Act (PA 149 of 1999)
The "Public Employee Health Care Fund Investment Act" became effective November 1, 1999. This
act permits the City Commission to establish a public employee health care fund for the accumulation
and investment of funds to provide for the funding of health care benefits to retired employees of the
City and their beneficiaries. The important provision of this act is that it specifically permits investments
in corporate stocks and other investments appropriate for funding long-term retirement benefits. Prior
to this act, investments were restricted to "low risk/low yield" instruments unless funding and investing
were administered through the pension funds.
The City of Muskegon has long recognized the importance of pre-funding retiree healthcare benefits in
the same manner as regular pension benefits are funded. Annually (since 1986) an annual actuarial
valuation of the City's post retirement health benefits has been conducted. Additionally, in 1987
reserve accounts for retiree health benefits were added by ordinance to the City's pension funds for the
purpose of accumulating and investing retiree healthcare funds along with the City's regular pension
funds. As of December 31, 1999, the following amounts had accumulated in these reserves:
General Employees' $3,161,322
Police & Fire $3,316,300
Staff believes that PA 149 affirms the wisdom of pre-funding retiree healthcare benefits and provides a
stronger statutory foundation than exists for the City's current practice of funding these benefits through
the pension funds. Accordingly, it is recommended the following actions be taken:
1. Adoption of the attached resolution establishing the "Employee Health Care Fund" in accordance
with PA 149;
2. Adoption of the attached amendments to both the General Employees' and Police and Fire
Retirement System ordinances which "freezes" the current method of retiree healthcare funding
and provides for future retiree healthcare funding to be done through the new fund.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Replacing unit 50181, 1978 w/200,000 miles. This unit will be used to
transport City equipment to various jobs, and haul rental equipment when
needed. We also hope to purchase a lead trailer for hauling sand, snow and
sweeper dirt. Which we currently do with smaller trucks or outside
contractors. This will help us reduce hauling cost in the future.

Kuhn,Bob
DPW
Sir,
Both myself and Roger have put a great deal of effort in to the searching out what we feel is the perfect
candidate for a replacement of our current semi tractor unit #5018'1, a 1978 GMC Brigadier.
The cab and cab mounts on 50181 are deteriorated badly to the point where we don't feel
comfortable in the operation of that unit anymore.
The unit we have chosen as the right tractor for our needs is a 1994 Ford LTA-9000, this unit has a
34066 330 hp Caterpillar engine, Fuller 10 speed transmission, a 4.10 rearend ratio and is in
outstanding condition.
When this truck was bought new, I was in the employ of Ryder, the trucks current owner, I have seen
all the service records and really believe that this unit will give us many years of trouble-free service,
When we have a servica or sewer break we sometimes don't have time to wait, we need to get our"
equipment out to the jobsite, it is imperative that we have a reliable semi-tractor to use to haul our
equipment at a moments notice.
The asking price on this unit was 21,300.00; a final pii_ge,.0($18,300.00 was arrived at before we left
their sales facility.
Thankyou

This is a new purchase for the City. The primary use of the skid loader is
with the asphalt mill, which will be used for joint repair and small patch work .
.A.llowing us to mi!I down high spots and do small spot repairs more
efficiently. There are also many other uses for the skid loader itself, sand
removal at the beach and general clean up in the parks or other tight spots
where a larger machine won't fit, we have had to rent machines for these
uses in the past. We tried out demo units of most of the above models and
have decided that the larger Gehl unit will best fit our needs.

purchase agreement has already been signed by West Michigan Steel.

termination of this Agreement. Buyer may elect to purchase the Premises subject to said
encroachment or variation.

lakeward side thereof.
9 .4 Relocation of the Trail. In the event future development by the Seller of

been conveyed, and Buyer may consent thereto and determine conditions for the
relocation.

Claimant: Marine Tap Room/Steve Warmington
Date of Loss: 1-20-99 . .
Our Occurrence No: 1999·11.1-082 OPDW (91259)
f.aru:
Tho owner of.the Marine Tap Roonr, reponed water entering his basemellt in February
of 1999. The DPW investigated the problem .over the next several .months and even
hired a leak. detection specialist to determine the cause. The investigation was
inconclusive and the owner of the property involved was left with the assumption that
ground water was the likely source and h.e should have his basement waterproofed. The
owner attempted less expensive remedial measures first by installing a sump pump but
this could not handle the volume of water entering his basement daily. He then invested
$9,540 into waterproofing his basement and upon completion, water began surfacing at
. the street. It was then determined that the source was a leak at the tapping nipple where
· it connects to the main. TI1e tapping nipple is the- City's property and responsibility. A
· copy of the DPW report is attacl1ed for review. . . · .• 1
Damages: . ·. · .... ·. .
The property owner submitted a claim for $21,122 which includes damage to flooring,
sump pump installation, waterproofing and daily clean up of water over .a period of seven
months. until the problem was remedied. AdjustmenL~ were made to. the loss resulting
in an agreed settlement with the property owner in the amount of $19,000 subject to the
City's approval. ·
Liability: · .
This clailn comes tinder the trespass exception to govcrnmentaLimm\Jnity. We have
reviewed the issues involved in this claim and conclude that the remedial tneasurcs taken
. to mitigate the dainage as well as the direct property damages are ~ompensable.
Recommendation: . . .•
We recommend settlement with the property· owner, Steve Warinington, in the amount
of $19,000 as outlined ln this report. · · · ·. . . :.

Subject: RE: Marine Tap Room
In early February the water/sewer department was contacted by Mr. Warmington who is the
owner of the Marine Tap Room located at 1983 Lakeshore Dr. At that time he stated that there
was water coming into his basement and requested that we come out and see if we could
determine what the source was. After a thorough investigation in which we checked the water
service to 1983 Lakeshore Dr., water services on both sides of said address, and storm sewers in
the vicinity we came to believe that the problem may be due to ground water leaking through the
basement walls. After some discussion it was further decided to contact a company that
specializes in leak detection. We then had a company by the name of American Leak Detection
come in and do their own investigation. After spending eight hours in which they hooked up their
electronic equipment to all water services, water mains and fire hydrants in the same block
surrounding 1983 Lakeshore Dr. there were not any leaks detected. In American Leak Detection's
final report they stated in writing that" NO LEAK NOISES HEARD OR CORRELATED IN AREA
". Approximately in the month of July we were again contacted by Mr. Warmington and asked to
come out again to 1983 Lakeshore Dr. as he was still having a problem with water leaking into his
basement. We then drilled holes along the curb from the Mann St. to Moon St. along Lakeshore
Dr. and also in the parking lot directly to the east of said address. It was determined that there
was water at a depth of six ft. all holes with in the block. Because there was no water water rising
up out of the drilled holes it was believed that the water in the holes was ground water and not a
leak. At that time I informed Mr. Warmington that the problem he was having was due to ground
water and that he may want to have his basement waterproofed. To my understanding the week
of Sept. 13 he had that work done. and shortly after that water surfaced in the street in front of his
business. We then excavated the site and found that there was a tapping nipple leaking on his
water service where it was tapped into the 24 in. water main. It has since been repaired. If you
need a copy of the invoice from American Leak detection I will get it to you or if you have any
question give me a call. Thanks, Dan

Subject: Marine Tap Room
Steve Warmington was in Finance today and filed a claim regarding a water leak he has had
since January at his business Marine Tap Room. Today he was told the leak is in the City
main. I am going to need a narrative from one of you detailing the chain of events leading up
to today's finding. He has indicated that the City told him repeatedly it was a ground water
problem and even told him he should have his basement waterproofed (which he did).

Historic District
Commission
Memo
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Glenn Eacker, Chaitman of the Historic District Commission (HDC)
Date: June 13, 2000
Re: 607 W. Clay Avenue
At the June 6, 2000 meeting of the HDC there was a discussion about the historic and
architectural merits of the house at 607 W. Clay Avenue. The building is in the transitional
structure of the Victorian era with elements of the Greek Revival and Italianate, c. 1885.
HDC is mindful that the house is not presently located in any of the City's historic districts,
and, therefore, not under the jurisdiction of HDC. However, it is on the perimeter of the Clay-
Western district and within two blocks of the area of the national register !mown as the
Heritage Village.
It is the intention of the HDC to expand the historic districts to include a "scattered site"
district that includes those buildings and sites that merit HDC protection. It is with this in
mind that HDC wishes to express their deep concern for the loss of this house. By a
unanimous vote, it was the desire of the HDC to submit a letter to the Mayor and City
Commissioners expressing HDC' s concern with the loss of the historic home located at 607
W. Clay Avenue.
Thank you.

PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
May 10, 2000
Hearing; Case 2000-18: Request to rezone property located at 211 Irwin Ave. from
RM-1, Low Density Mnltipie-Family Residential to B-1, Limited Business, by Janet
Johnson.
BACKGROUND
Applicant: Janet Johnson
Address/Location of Subject Property: 211 Irwin Ave. (SE corner of Irwin Ave. & Hoyt St.)
Current Use: Residential
Current Zoning: R-1, Single-Family Residential
Proposed Zoning: B-1, Limited Business
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
I. The subject property is cun-ently nonconforming and contains a duplex. The applicant
wishes to turn the lower apartment into an art gallery/antique shop, while retaining the
upper apartment. The proposed use is allowed by right in the B-1 dish·ict.
2. The Future Land Use Map shows the subject property, as well as the property on the
same block currently zoned B-2, as residential. Downzoning the commercial area in the
immediate area to residential is not very practical at this time. The B-1 designation
would downzone closer to the residential designation, yet permit low-scale businesses
until such time that it's practical to redevelop the area as residential.
3. There are several structures in the immediate vicinity that are commercial in nature, but
appear to be underutilized. A B-2 designation for this relatively small area of commercial
surrounded by residential is a more intense designation than it probably should be. A B-1
designation for the entire area may stimulate specialty shops and small businesses yet
keep a more quiet character.
4. The proposed use could also be accommodated through a special use permit in the RM-I
zone, which is another option for a rezoning, but staff wanted to take the opportunity to
consider the larger area for B-1 designation.
5. The subject prope1ty is a well kept historic home. One concern with rezoning it for a
business designation is that it may promote demolition in the future. Under a special use
permit, the property could be protected by requiring that the business operate out of the
existing structure only.
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 5/10/00
6. The Master Land Use Plan states:
• Sub-Area 4 is predominately residential in use... The sub-area also includes a
variety of medical facilities and commercial, industrial, and institutional
development... Except for recognized enclaves of desired non-residential
development, the sub-area's internal development should be limited to those uses of a
residential character or having residential compatibility.
• A mqjority of the area is devoted to single-family use. Housing character and local
neighborhood quality vary markedly.
7. The Master Plan recommends for this sub-area:
• Maintain the sub-area's residential focus.
• Implement, through zoning, buffer requirements associated with the placement of
non-residential uses contiguous to residential development.
• Consider placement of duplex, tri-plex andfour-plex unites as infill housing based on
designs [building and siteJ which are complimentary to existing area housing.
ORDINANCE EXCERPTS
ARTICLE X - B-1 LIMITED BUSINESS DISTRICTS
PREAMBLE
The B-1 Limited Business Districts are designed primarily for the convenience of persons residing in adjacent
residential areas or neighborhoods, and to permit only such uses as are necessa1y to satisfy those limited basic,
daily shopping and/or service needs, which by their very nature are not similar to the shopping patterns of the
B-2 convenience and Comparison, B-3 Central Business District, and B-4 General Business Districts. B-1
Districts are also intended to be utilized at planned locations in the City as zones of transition between major
thoroughfares and residential areas, and between intensive nonresidential areas and residential areas. In the B-1
District all business establishments shall be retail and/or service establishments dealing directly with
consumers. All goods produced on the premises shall be sold at retail on the premises where produced. All
business, servicing or processing, except off-street parking or loading, shall be conducted within a completely
enclosed building, or in an area specifically approved by the City.
SECTION 1000: PRINCIPAL USES PERMITTED

residing in adjacent residential areas such as: groceries, meats, dairy products, baked goods or other
foods, drugs, drygoods, and notions or hardware. No individual uses, either freestanding or in a group
of uses, shall exceed two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet in area.
2. Any personal service establishment which performs services on the premises for persons residing in
adjacent residential areas, such as: Shoe repair, dry cleaning shops, tailor shops, beauty parlors, barber
shops, dressmaker, tailor, pharmacist, or an establishment doing radio, television, or home appliance
repair, and similar establishments that require a retail character no more objectionable than the
aforementioned, subject to the provision that no more than five (5) persons shall be employed at any
time in the sale, repair, or other processing of goods.
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 5/10/00 2
3. Professional offices of doctors, lawyers, dentists, chiropractors, osteopaths, architects, engineers,
accountants, and similar or allied professions. No individual use shall exceed two thousand five
hundred (2,500) square feet in area.
4. Office buildings for any of the following types of occupations: executive, administrative and
professional. No individual use shall exceed two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet in area.
5. Residential uses as part of a building in this zone shall be allowed upon issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy from the Department of Inspections, provided that the minimum lot area requirements of
the RM-I District are met.
6. Accessory buildings and accessory uses customarily incidental to any of the above Principal Uses
Permitted.
7. Uses similar to the above Principal Uses Permitted.
SECTION 1001: SPECIAL LAND USES PERMITTED

Section 2332 after review and approval of the use ( and a site plan, if required) by the Planning Commission,
after Public Hearing, subject to the applicable conditions and any other reasonable conditions imposed by the
Planning Commission. A site plan shall not be required when there are no external changes made to the
buildings or properties.
1. Restaurants, or other places serving food, except drive-in or drive-through restaurants.
2. Churches and other facilities normally incidental thereto subject to the following conditions:

major or secondary thoroughfare.
b. The principal buildings on the site shall be set back from abutting properties zoned for
residential use not less than thirty (30) feet.
c. Buildings of greater than the maximum height allowed in Section 2100 may be allowed

foot for each foot of building that exceeds the maximum height allowed.
3. Accessory buildings and accessory uses customarily incidental to the above Special Land Uses
Permitted.
4. Uses similar to the above Special Land Uses Permitted.
SECTION 1002: PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS
Planned developments may be allowed by the Planning Commission under the procedural guidelines of Section
2101. The intent of Planned Unit Developments in the B-1 Limited Business Districts is to allow mixed land

or harmonious with residential dwellings.
SECTION 1003: AREA AND BULK REQUIREMENTS

Cisco PIX Firewall Series
Product Overview
The Cisco PIX Firewall series delivers strong security in an easy-to-install, integrated hardware/software appliance that
offers outstanding pe1formance. The series allows you to rigorously protect your internal network from the outside world~
providing full firewall security protection. Unlike typical CPU-intensive full-time proxy servers that pe1fonn extensive
processing on each data packet at the application level, Cisco PIX firewalls use a non-UNIX, secure, real-time, embedded
system. The PIX Firewalls deliver superior performance of up to 250,000 simultaneous connections, over 6,500 connections
per second, and nearly 170 megabits per second (Mbps) throughput. This level of petformance is dramatically greater than
that delivered by other appliance-like firewalls or those based on general-purpose operating systems.

Key Features and Benefits
• Non-UNIX, secure, real-time, embedded system
This design eliminates the risks associated with a general purpose operating system and allows the Cisco PIX Firewall
series to deliver outstanding peifonnance-up to 250,000 simultaneous connections-dramatically greater than any
UNIX-based firewall and without affecting end-user performance.
• Less complex and more robust than packet-filtering; higher pe1formance and more scalable than application proxy
firewalls
The heart of the PIX Firewall series is the adaptive security algorithm (ASA), which maintains the secure perimeters
between the networks controlled by the firewall. The stateful, connection-oriented ASA design creates session tlows
based on source and destination addresses, TCP sequence numbers (which are non-predictable), port numbers, and
additional TCP flags. All inbound and outbound traffic is controlled by applying security policy to connection table
entries.
• User authentication and authorization with cut-through proxy
Cisco's PIX Firewall series gains further dramatic performance advantage through its patented method of transparently
verifying the identity of users at the firewall and permitting or denying access to any TCP- or UDP-based application.
This method eliminates the price/performance impact UNIX-based firewalls impose in similar configurations, and
leverages the authentication and authorization services of CiscoSecure Access Control Server. For more information on
CiscoSecure Access Control Server, available for both Windows NT and UNIX (Solaris), see the chapter "CiscoSecure
Access Control Server Software.''
• Centralized configuration and management with the PIX Firewall Manager
This Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) configuration tool lets the administrator use a Web browser to retrieve,
edit, and centrally manage security policies. Separate tabs provide access to configuration information common to all
PIX Firewalls being managed and to built-in reports for user-based accounting for web sites visited and volume of files
transferred. The PIX Firewall Manager can automatically provide real-time alerts of any attempted firewall breaches
through e-mail or pager notification.
• Platform extensibility
To provide platform extensibility without sacrificing the benefits of an embedded system, the PIX Firewall series includes
two hardware platforms, the PIX Firewall 515 and 520, which support a broad range of network interface cards (NICs).
Standard NICs include single- or four-port 10/100 Ethernet cards, 4/16 Token Ring cards, and dual-attached multimode
FDDI cards. FDDI cards and four-port Ethernet cards are supported in PIX beginning with version 4.4.
• Failove1/hot standby upgrade option
The PIX Firewall fail over option ensures high availability and eliminates a single point of failure. With two PIX Firewalls
running in parallel, if one malfunctions, the second PIX Firewall transparently maintains security operations.
• Synchronized configurations for effective recovery from hardware failure
Simplified TFTP boot function allows consistent synchronization of multiple device configurations.

RE: Amendment to Brownfield Plan
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the attached resolution setting a
public hearing for an amendment for the Brownfield Plan. The
amendment is for the inclusion of Beacon Recycling, located at 2210
Roberts Street, in the Brownfield Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact, although the
expansion of Beacon Recycling will add to the tax base of the City of
Muskegon.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the attached resolution and
authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the resolution.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority will meet on June 13 to take action on the proposed
amendment, and make a recommendation to the City Commission.
MUSKEGON BROWNFIELD PLAN
SITE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
(SITE ADDITION)
Beacon Recycling. Inc. (Section 13(1)(9)
Beacon Recycling. lnc./Beacon Leasing ("Beacon") intends to expand its recycling operations by
relocating to a portion of the former Amstore property located on Keating Avenue. Beacon
intends to collect, sort, and prepare materials (primarily metals) for transport to recycling
processing centers. A legal description and site map of the property purchased by Beacon is
included as Attachment #3, and is herein referred to as the "Property".
Beacon's initial investment in land and buildings is $690,000. Over the next five years, projected
investments in building and Property improvement totals over $219,000. Estimated capital
expenditures within the next five years exceed $760,000. Beacon projects that its expansion at
the Property will create 10-12 new jobs within the next 3 years.
Eligibility
The Property being acquired by Beacon is considered to be "eligible property" as defined by Act
381 because it has been determined to be a "facility" pursuant to Pat 201 of the Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Act. The Property has been the subject of Phase I and
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) recently conducted by Westshore Consulting
on behalf of Beacon. The Phase I ESA documented the past industrial use of the western portion
of the Property as a store fixture manufacturing site (shelving and display units) from
approximately 1963 to 1999. From the 1920's to 1960's, the site was used for the assembly of
busses and farm equipment. The Phase II ESA revealed concentrations of heavy metals in soils
that exceed applicable Part 201 Residential criteria. As a result of the Property being determined
to be a facility, Westshore has prepared a Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) for the
Property on behalf of Beacon. Westshore will be preparing a Due Care plan, to identify Beacon's
responsibility for undertaking any necessary Due Care response activities pursuant to Part 201.
Costs of Plan (Section 13(1)(a.b.c,f))
There are no costs to the City of Muskegon or its local taxing jurisdictions as a result of the
Property being included in this Brownfield Plan. There will be no tax increment financing for
"eligible activities"; Beacon has paid for the cost of undertaking the Phase I and II ESAs, the BEA,
and the Due Care Plan. Beacon will also pay for any necessary Due Care Response activities.
The costs to the State are as yet undetermined, although inclusion of the Property in this Plan
may allow Beacon to be eligible for up to $1 million in credits toward its Single Business Tax
liability. The Property is included in this Brownfield Plan to enable a "qualified taxpayer" to avail
itself of eligibility for credits against its Single Business Tax liability for "eligible investment"
(demolition, construction, restoration, purchase of machinery, equipment, and fixtures) incurred
after the adoption of this amendment to the Brownfield Plan. These Single Business Tax Credits
are provided for by amendments to Act No. 228 of 1975.
