Chief Griffin,

The Muskegon Police Department has received a request from the Michigan Liquor
Control Commission for an investigation from applicant Small Perch, Inc.

Small Perch Inc. is requesting to transfer ownership of the existing 1999 C-SDM licensed
business with dance permit and official permit (food) from Top Spin, Inc. The
establishment does not have a designated area for dance at this time but wishes to retain
this permit.

I have talked with Christopher Anderson, 3304 Micka, Muskegon MI, and David
Biesiada, 4582 Henry St, Muskegon MI. Both are the proprietors for Small Perch, Inc.
They, together, have requested for transfer of ownership of license.

I have searched MPD records and conducted a Criminal History Check and find no
reason to deny this transfer.

Respectfully submitted,




Det. Kurt Dykman

               FRANCHISE TO DTE ENERGY MARKETING, INC.,
      TO USE LOCAL PUBLIC WAYS AND DO LOCAL ELECTRICAL BUSINESS


         WHEREAS, DTE Energy Marketing, Inc., its successors and assigns, seeks a public

Section!.       Grant of Non-Exclusive Rights

        A.      Term; Revocable at Will. City of Muskegon (City) grants to DTE Energy
Marketing, Inc., its successors and assigns (Grantee), subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below, the nonexclusive right, power and authority to construct, maintain and use electric lines
consisting of towers, masts, poles, cross-arms, guys, braces, feeders, transmission and
distribution wires, transformers and other electrical appliances (hereinafter "Electric System") on,
along, across and under the highways, streets, alleys, and bridges (hereafter "Public Ways") as
identified in Exhibit A to this Ordinance and to do local electric business in the City of
Muskegon, Muskegon County, Michigan, for a period of five years. Notwithstanding the term of
this agreement, it is revocable at will in accordance with the Michigan State Constitution,
Article 7 Section 25.

         B.      Location in Public Ways. To the maximum extent possible, Grantee shall place
its electrical system on, within, and along existing utility facilities in the Public Ways.

        C.      Lease. Grantee shall not lease or sublease any portion of its electrical system
within the city to a person who by law is required to obtain the City's permission or consent to
transaction business in the City and who lacks such permission or consent. Grantee shall not
allow the property of a third party or non-electrical system wires or any other facilities to be over
lashed, affixed or attached to any portion of its electrical system or allow other actions with a
similar result without the written consent of the City Manager or that person's designee.

Section 2.     Use of Public Rights-of-Way by Grantee

        A.     No Burden on Public Ways. Grantee and its contractors, subcontractors and the
Grantee's Electric System shall not unduly burden or interfere with the present or future use of
any of the Public Ways within the City. Grantee shall erect and maintain its Electric System so as

\\FINANCE_NDDATAICLERK\KUNDINGER\WORDIELECFRANCHISEAGREE-DTE ENERGY.DOC
to cause minimum interference with the use of the Public Ways and with the rights or reasonable
convenience of property owners. No Public Way shall be obstructed longer than necessary during
the work of construction or repair to the Electric System. Grantee's cable, wires, structures and
equipment shall be suspended or buried so as to not endanger or injure persons or property in the
Public Ways. If the City in its reasonable judgment determines that any portion of the Electric

Electric System or take such other actions as the City may determine is in the public interest to
remove or alleviate the burden, and the Grantee shall do so within the time period established by
the City.

         B.    Restoration of Public Ways. Grantee and its contractors and subcontractors shall
immediately restore, at Grantee's sole cost and expense and in a manner approved by the City,
any portion of the Public Ways that is in any way disturbed, damaged, or injured by the

condition than that which existed prior to the disturbance. In the event that Grantee, its contractor
or subcontractors fail to make such repair within the time specified by the City, the City shall be

        C.      Easements. Any easements required for installation or maintenance of an Electric
System or part thereof by Grantee over or under private property shall be arranged and paid for
by Grantee. Any use or intrusion on private property without an easement or other instrument
evidencing permission of the property owner shall constitute a trespass by Grantee and a
violation of this Agreement. Any easements over or under property owned by the City other than
the Public Ways shall be separately negotiated with the City.

        D.     Tree Trimming. Grantee may trim trees upon and overhanging the Public Ways
so as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming into contact with the Electric System.
Grantee shall minimize the trimming of trees to trimming only those that are essential to
maintain the integrity of its Electric System. No trimming shall be done in the Public Ways
without previously informing the City.

         E.     Pavement Cut Coordination/Additional Fees. Grantee shall coordinate its
construction program and all other work in the Public Ways with the City's program for street
construction, rebuilding, resurfacing and repair (collectively, "Street Resurfacing"). Grantee shall

to this end.

                The goals of such coordination shall be to require Grantee to conduct all known
work in the Public Ways in conjunction with or immediately prior to any Street Resurfacing

several inches above the Grantee's cable or wire (if such cable or wire is non-conductive); (2) at
least several inches above that a continuous colored tape with Grantee's name and a toll-free
number and a statement to the effect that there is buried cable beneath; and, (3) stakes or other
appropriate above-ground markers with Grantee's name and a toll-free number and indicating that

         H.       Street Vacation. If City vacates or consents to the vacation of a street or alley
within its jurisdiction, and such vacation necessitates the removal and relocation of Grantee's
facilities in the vacated Public Way, Grantee agrees, as a condition of this Agreement, to consent
to the vacation and to move its facilities at its sole cost and expense when asked to do so by the
City or a court of competent jurisdiction. Grantee shall relocate its facilities to such alternative
route as the City, acting reasonably and in good faith, shall designate.

disconnect, or remove its facilities, at its sole expense, to such alternate route as City, acting
reasonably and in good faith, shall designate.

       J.      Public Emergency. The City shall have the right to sever, disrnpt, dig up or
otherwise destroy facilities of Grantee, without any prior notice, if such action is deemed
necessary by the Mayor, City Manager, Police Chief or Fire Chief because of a public
emergency. Public emergency shall be any condition which, in the opinion of any of the officials

amended, MCL 460.701, et seq, and shall conduct its business in conformance with the statutory
provisions and regulations promulgated thereunder.

        L.       Use of Existing Facilities: Compensation to City. Grantee shall utilize existing
poles, conduits, and other facilities wherever practicable, and shall not construct or install any
new, different, or additional poles, or other facilities unless expressly authorized by the City.
Where existing utility wiring is located underground, either at the time of initial construction or
subsequent thereto, Grantee's Electric System shall also be located underground unless otherwise
expressly authorized by the City. In the event Grantee desires to utilize existing poles, conduits
or other facilities owned by the City, Grantee shall be obligated to pay the existing standard
charge for attachment to, placement in, or other use of those facilities.

                To the extent that Grantee chooses to construct its own utility wiring or other new
facilities, Grantee agrees to compensate the City for use of the public rights of way. Unless
otherwise agreed by the City and Grantee, the compensation shall be paid at the rate of$0.30 per
lineal foot of wiring or other facilities installed.

        M.     Underground Relocation. If Grantee has its facilities on Consumers Energy
Company's or any other public utility company's above ground utility poles and the owner of said
poles relocates its facilities to an underground conduit, Grantee shall relocate its facilities
underground in the same location.

                            NOTICE OF ADOPTION


TO ALL INTERESTED PERSONS:


       Please take notice that the City Commission of the City of Muskegon adopted an
ordinance at it's meeting on Apr i l 11 , 2000,    granting a non-exclusive franchise to
   DTE Energy               for the furnishing of electric service from the City of
Muskegon. In summary, the ordinance provides as follows:

       I.     Grant of non-exclusive rights. The ordinance grants a non-exclusive
              right to offer electric service in the City. The grant is revocable at will and
              has a term of five years. The electrical utility is to be located in public
              ways.
       2.     Use of public rights of way by franchise. The ordinance provides for the
              use of public right of way, prevents burdens on the right of way, requires
              restoration in the case of damage or disturbance, allows tree trimming, and
              provides for additional fees for pavement cuts. Marking is required on
              facilities built by the franchisee.

              The franchisee must comply with all laws. In the event of street vacation
              or relocation requests, the franchisee must accomplish the relocation of its
              facilities at its sole expense.

              Public emergencies will justify the right of the City to disrupt lines. The
              franchisee is required to register with "Miss Dig". Erection of additional
              poles and wires must be authorized by the City.

              Facilities are to be located underground in the event the host public utility
              company's facilities are so placed. Any agreement with the host utility
              company must be copied to the City.

      3.      No City liability; indemnification; insurance. Section 3 provides for the
              protection of the City to indemnification provisions and the requirement of
              insurance in the event the franchisee installs or constructs any physical
              facilities, except for meters.
      4.      Franchise not exclusive. The ordinance specifically states that the grant
              is not exclusive.
      5.      Rates. The franchisee is to charge rates authorized by the Michigan
              Public Service Commission.
      6.      City Jurisdiction. The City retains jurisdiction allowed under state law,
              charter or federal law.
7.     Michigan Public Service Commission. The ordinance recognizes the
       jurisdiction of the MPSC, and requires the franchisee to supply the City
       with copies of all material documents on file with the MPSC which relate
       to this City.
8.     Effective Date. The ordinance takes effect 30 days after adoption by the
       City Commission, except that it shall not take effect unless the franchisee
       files an acceptance in writing to the City Cleric

Copies of the ordinance may be viewed and purchased at reasonable cost at the
office of the City Clerk in the City Hall, 93 3 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan,
during regular business hours.

This ordinance is effective ten days from the date of this publication, subject to
the conditions of paragraph 8, above.

                                        March 15,2000



Hearing; Case 2000-5: Request to rezone City-owned property located at the corner of
Park St. and Laketon Ave. from 1-2, General Industrial to B-4, General Business.


BACKGROUND
Applicant: City of Muskegon
Address/Location of Subject Property: Northeast corner of Laketon Ave. and Park St.
Use: Vacant
Current Zoning: 1-2, General Indush·ial
Proposed Zoning: B-4, General Business


STAFF OBSERVATIONS
I. This triangle-shaped lot was part of the purchase of property by the City from Railtex for
   the bike trail. Although this lot is not needed for the trail, it was part of the deal when the
   trail property was purchased. The subject lot is located directly adjacent to the Muskegon
   Rescue Mission Men's Shelter on Laketon Ave. and Seventh St.
2. The City Commission has approved a lease agreement to lease the subject lot to the
   Rescue Mission. The Rescue Mission wishes to use the lot for additional parking when
   they move their retail store (now located at Remy/Sherman) to their Laketon Ave.
   location. Since the City's purchase of the lot was pmi of the golf course conversion for
   trail property, the City is prohibited from selling it.
3. The Future Land Use Map shows the subject prope1iy as industrial as pmi of a larger m·ea
   of industrial lands to the N 01ih.
4. The City has initiated the rezoning of this property since staff feels that an industrial
   zoning is no longer appropriate for the site. The lot is not large enough to locate an
   industry on, but is large enough to provide parking for the adjacent business use.
5. The Master Land Use Plan states:
   • The southerly portion of the (sub)area is devoted to industrial development ... The
      industrial area possesses several former industrial sites.
    •   Laketon Avenue suffers as a result o_fseveral business and properly owners who fail
        lo maintain the appearance of their buildings and/orjrontage sites
    •   The area's major streets lack a cohesive streetscape program.
6. The Master Plan recommends for this sub-area:
   •  Complete the proposed bicycle pathway along Laketon Avenue.
     •   Implement comprehensive streetscape programs along the sub-area's major
         roadways.
     •   Work with Laketon Avenue businesses to encourage site enhancements and, where
         necessary, buildingfar;ade improvements.
     • Focus "brownfield" redevelopment efforts on the former industrial land.
7. The addition and improvements to the proposed parking area will be subject to staff site
   plan review, where some of the design issues brought up in the Master Plan can be
   addressed.

Hearing; Case 2000-9: Reqnest to rezone property located on Holbrook Ave. (between
Sixth and Commerce Streets) from 1-2, General lndnstrial to B-2, Convenience and
Comparison Business, by the Muskegon Housing Commission.

BACKGROUND
Applicant: Muskegon Housing Commission (McKinley Copeland)
Address/Location of Subject Property: Holbrook Ave., between Sixth & Commerce Streets
Use: Vacant
Current Zoning: I-2, General Indush·ial
Proposed Zoning: B-2, Convenience and Comparison Business

STAFF OBSERVATIONS
I. This case was before the Planning Commission for a B-4 designation and was denied
   with the staff suggestion it come through again with a B-2 rezoning request.
2. The current Muskegon Housing Commission property, to the north of the subject
   property, was rezoned to B-4 in 1995. The Housing Commission believed that all of the
   property associated with their purchase of the Muskegon Piston Ring property was
   included in the rezoning, but staff research showed that only the block nmih of Alpha
   Ave. was included. Therefore, the subject property remains zoned as I-2.
3. The Muskegon Housing Commission wishes to construct a 4-stall garage on the property,
   which is not allowed under the current I-2 zoning, since it would be an accessory use to a
   business use and should be similarly zoned.
4. A downzoning of the property seems appropriate. The B-2 zoning district would also
   allow the intended use, but allows less intensive uses in general than the B-4 district
   would allow.
5. The Future Land Use Map shows the subject property, as well as the current Muskegon
   Housing Commission property, as residential. This downzoning gets the prope1iy closer
   to what the plan suggests we should move toward.
6. The Master Land Use Plan states:
   • The southerly portion of the (sub)area is devoted to industrial development ... The
      industrial area possesses several former industrial sites.
    •   Buffers between residential and industrial development are virtually non-existent.
     •   The small enclave o_fhousing within the vicinity ofEast Hackley Avenue and Park
         Street is isolated by industrial and commercial development. The suitability, and
         long term survival, ofresidential development in this location is questionable.
7. The Master Plan recommends for this sub-area:
   • Redevelop that portion of the sub-area located south and east o_f the industrial sector
      from residential to industrial.
     •   Implement, through zoning, buffer requirements to mitigate compatibility impacts
         between residential and non-residential uses.
     •   Focus "brownfield" redevelopment efforts on the former industrial land

To:               Robert Kuhn, DPW Director

From:             Bob Fountain, Special Operations Supervisor

Subject:          Public Service Building Repairs

I have enclosed an agenda item for the repair of the Public Service Building. As you recall we
have developed a capital improvement plan with the assistance of Hooker/DeJong Architects for
renovation of the Public Service Building this year. The roof repair is a major part of this project.

                            Brief History of the Public Service Building (PSB)

The PSB was built in 1970 and has about 100,000 square feet of vehicle parking, shops and
offices. It is a standard steel building that still uses a 1970-era radiant heating system for the
parking garage. Over the years the steel roof deck has rusted in the area where plow trucks are
parked. In 1984-6 the building was re-roofed and at that time small patches were made on the
roof deck where co1Toded deck areas collapsed.

In 1995 we commissioned Hooker/DeJong Architects to evaluate the PSB for repairs and capital
improvements that would extend the life span and increase the efficient use of the building. Their
report listed a number ofrenovations that should be made. Among these was repair of the roof
deck. In 1997 we bid out this project but found that we did not have sufficient funding at the time
to commission the project. However, we were able to carry out two other projects, re-painting the
exterior of the building (1998) and re-paving the parking lot (1997). This year we also plan to
modernize office areas in the building to increase efficiency and to install energy-efficient
heating in the parking garage.

To:       Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners

From:       Finance Director

RE:       Reimbursement Resolution for Sidewalks and PSB Improvements



SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Later this year it is expected the City will sell bonds to
finance sidewalks and improvements at the Public Service Building. Contracts for the work
will be let prior to the issuance of bonds so it is necessary to adopt the attached
"reimbursement resolution". This will allow the City to reimburse itself from bond proceeds for
project costs incurred prior to the time bonds are sold.


FINANCIAL IMPACT: Adoption will permit the City to move ahead with the planned
projects and reimburse itself from proceeds from bonds issued at a later date.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the attached resolution.

~
     intends to issue or and sell bonds or cause to be issued and sold bonds, in one or more series, in
     amounts not to exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) for the purpose of paying part of the
~    cost of acquiring and constructing various street and building improvements (the "Projects");
!    and

            WHEREAS, the City intends, at this time to state its intentions to be reimbursed from
     proceeds of the bonds for any expenditures undertaken by the City for the Projects prior to
     issuance of the bonds.

           NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:


           1.    The City makes the following declarations for the purpose of complying with the
     reimbursement rules of Treas. Reg.§ 1.150-2 pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended:

                 (a)    As of the date hereof, the City reasonably expects to reimburse itself for the
           expenditures described in (b) below with proceeds of debt to be incurred by the City.

                  (b)     The expenditures described in this paragraph (b) are for the costs of
           acquiring and constructing the Projects together with appurtenances and attachments
           thereto to serve the City which were or will be paid subsequent to six months prior to the
           date hereof.
               (c)    The maximum principal amount of debt expected to be issued for the
        Project, including issuance costs, is $3,000,000.

               (d)     A reimbursement allocation of the expenditures described in (b) above with
        the proceeds of the borrowing described herein will occur not later than 18 months after
        the later of (i) the date on which the expenditure is paid, or (ii) the date the Project is
        placed in service or abandoned, but in no event more than three (3) years after the
        original expenditure is paid. A reimbursement allocation is an allocation in writing that
        evidences the City's use of the proceeds of the debt to be issued for the Project to
        reimburse the City for a capital expenditure made pursuant to this Resolution.

               (e)    The expenditures described in (b) above are "capital expenditures" as
        defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.150-l(b), which are any costs of a type which are properly
        chargeable to a capital account (or would be so chargeable with a proper election or with
        the application of the definition of placed in service under Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2(c))
        under general Federal income tax principles (as determined at the time the expenditure is
        paid).

               (f)    No proceeds of the borrowing paid to the City in reimbursement pursuant to
        this Resolution will be used in a manner described in Treas. Reg. § 1. l 50-2(b) with
        respect to abusive uses of such proceeds, including, but not limited to, using funds
        corresponding to the proceeds of the borrowing in a manner that results in the creation of
        replacement proceeds (within Treas. Reg. § 1.148-1) within one year of the
        reimbursement allocation described in (d) above.

              (g)    Expenditures for the Project to be reimbursed for the proceeds of the
       borrowing for purposes of this Resolution do not include costs for the issuance of the
       debt or an amount not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of
       the borrowing, or preliminary expenditure not exceeding twenty (20) percent of the issue
       price of the borrowing, within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § l.150-2(f) (such preliminary
       expenditures include architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing and similar costs
       incurred prior to construction of the Project, but do not include land acquisition, site
       preparation, and similar costs incident to commencement of construction).

        2.     All resolutions and parts of resolutions insofar as they conflict with the provisions
of this resolution be and the same hereby are rescinded.

                    Dear Gail,


                    I am enclosing a proposed consent judgment to end the appeal by Atlantic Mortgage Co. of the
                    Commission's order to tear down this building. Bob Grabinski has reviewed, and we believe this
                    to be a proper disposition of this case. It gives them time to file a demolition check, take out
                    permits, and complete the rehab, and if they do not, gives us the power to tear down without any
                    further court involvement.
