CITY OF MUSKEGON
APPLICATION FOR
MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION LOCAL BRIDGE FUNDS
AMITY STREET OVER ABANDONED RAILROAD (SN 7699)
I. INTRODUCTION
The Amity Street Bridge over an Abandoned Railroad grade is the only priority for
funding for the City of Muskegon. The City of Muskegon is requesting funding for
a bridge removal project in the 2023 fiscal year. The City proposes to increase
the local funding match by approximately 21%. A brief description of the bridge
follows:
Unknown original construction date, the bridge is a five-span, bridge with
an overall length of 100.7 feet.
The bridge has a clear width of 24 feet and an out-to-out of 31.8 feet.
The superstructure consists of steel beams with a concrete deck.
The abutments are concrete cantilever.
Four-foot sidewalks along each side.
The bridge railing is an aluminum tube.
The average daily traffic is 1972 vehicles per day.
II. GENERAL CONDITION OF THE BRIDGE
The following major deficiencies were noted on a 2018 inspection of the Amity
Street Bridge:
The bridge is in fair to poor condition.
Expansion joints are leaking and loose.
Beam ends are heavily rusted over the abutments with section loss.
Areas of full paint failure.
Water leaking through full depth cracks in the deck.
Areas of deck spalling along the surface.
Steel sheet piling retaining walls are failing.
Slope erosion has exposed the abutment footing along the west side.
III. NARRATIVE SUPPORTING THE APPLICATION
A. Contact Person for the City of Muskegon is:
Mr. Leo Evans, P.E.
Director of Public Works
1350 E. Keating Street
Muskegon, MI 49442
Phone: (231) 724-6920
B. Removal Discussion
The bridge needs preventative maintenance work or complete removal since
Amity Street over Abandoned Railroad 1
City of Muskegon
the railroad below has long been abandoned. The City wishes to remove the
bridge rather than continual maintenance of the structure. The land beneath
the bridge is owned by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. They
have granted the City permission to remove the bridge and replace it with an
embankment. It is estimated that the preventative maintenance work will cost
an estimated $483,000 versus removal with embankment and road work cost
of $431,000. The preventative maintenance work would include a shallow
deck overlay, zone beam painting, beam end repairs, expansion joint
replacement, railing replacement, sidewalk healer/sealer, slope repair, and
approach guardrail.
C. Economic Importance
The economic importance of the Amity Street Bridge includes the following:
Neighborhood vehicular and pedestrian access to downtown.
Alternative east-west route for Apple Avenue.
D. Existing Detour Impact
There is no existing detour for this bridge.
E. Impact of Closed Structure
If the bridge was closed, motorists and emergency vehicles would have to
take a 0.25-mile detour.
F. Structure Maintenance
Unknown maintenance work occurred in 1969.
IV. COST BREAKDOWN
The following is the estimated removal cost for the Amity Street Bridge, SN
7699.
ITEM ESTIMATED COST
Approach Construction $290,000.00
Structure Construction $141,000.00
Total (A&B) $431,000.00
Local Funding Match $90,000.00
Note: The City of Muskegon will provide a match of nearly 21%, up to
$90,000 of the estimated construction cost.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 14, 2020 Title: National Fish & Wildlife Fund Grant
Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to apply for a grant through the National Fish and Wildlife Fund
(NFWF) Coastal Resiliency Program to assist in developing a sustainable and resilient coastline of
Lake Michigan along Beach Street.
Detailed Summary:
Staff is seeking to apply for a $250,000 grant through the National Fish and Wildlife Fund Coastal
Resiliency Program to complete a detailed site assessment, and 50% design plans for a long term
repair of the Lake Michigan Coastline along Beach Street.
The area has been substantially damaged by the high lake levels and erosion on Lake Michigan and a
long term sustainable solution is needed to ensure that the recreational uses of the shoreline are
preserved, along with the critical road and water main infrastructure. The NFWF Coastal Resiliency
Grant that we are proposing to apply for would allow for detailed survey and engineering work to be
started that will identify sustainable long term solutions for protecting the shoreline and infrastructure.
The grant proposal would utilize a combination of engineered hard surface protections and green
infrastructure to restore habitat create long term resiliency. The grant and associated project would lay
the groundwork for completing design and constructing a long term sustainable solution in future
years.
Staff from Ramboll has volunteered to assist at no cost in the pre-proposal submittal documents which
determine our eligibility for the project. A draft of the pre-prosal submittal is attached.
The proposed 1:1 match will be achieved through in-kind services that we are already providing to
operate and maintain Pere Marquette Park and the Water Filtration Plant. No cash would be required
from any parties during this first stage of the project if selected.
The grant pre-proposal is due on Wednesday, April 8th and will be submitted by staff prior to the
Commission Meeting. The grant opportunity became known to staff at a time that did not allow for
review and discussion at City Commission prior to submittal. However given the lack of financial
commitment at this stage and the previously discussed need at this site staff determined it was
appropriate to apply by the deadline and follow up with discussion at the Commission level.
Amount Requested: $0 Amount Budgeted: $0
Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A
Recommended Motion:
Approve the resolution of support and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign and commit to funding the
required match and engineering costs in future fiscal years if the project is selected.

Pre-proposal Project Narrative
Part I – Project Overview
a. Priority Addressed: Project Site(s) Assessment and Preliminary Design
b. Project Type: The Great Lakes basin experienced record high water levels during 2019. This was due in large
part to above average precipitation and runoff into the basin during the spring. The elevated water levels and
associated wave action have resulted in millions of dollars of damage to coastal communities in Michigan alone.
Examples along the coast of Lake Michigan include beach erosion, damage to infrastructure of stormwater and
utilities, undermined recreational trails, flooding of city streets from overflowing storm drains, and damage to fuel
lines. Homeowners have been significantly affected as they either demolish homes that are at risk of falling into
Lake Michigan from atop sandy bluffs, engage in shoreline stabilization activities (often the installation of armor
stone revetment), or simply watch their homes fall into
the lake. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has
warned that coastal communities prepare for similar or
greater water levels relative to last year as the Great
Lakes basin water levels have been setting record highs
again during 2020. The current project area is within a
Lake Michigan coastal community that has experienced
beach erosion that is endangering the structural
integrity of a road and utility infrastructure. The utility
infrastructure is a water main that distributes water to
two neighboring communities. The property owner, the Figure 1: Exposed asphalt was exposed during the 2019 events

stone revetment, water main relocation, and beach
nourishment program. These remedy types are widely used within the Great Lakes basin, but often diminish or
fail to provide ecological value to animal and plant communities. The proposed restoration will use a combination
of traditional and innovative design approaches to shift the paradigm from solely employing hardened or grey
remedies to a blend of green and grey. Some innovative approaches we are proposing include using high
resolution remote sensing techniques such as a digital elevation model to inform every stage of the design.
c. Project support and engagement: The City has taken the initiative to explore remedies that provide ecological
uplift and is the primary community leader for this project. It is expected that the City will be the major match
contributor with in-kind contributions. The City spends approximately $0.5M a year on maintenance, upkeep,
capital, safety, and other projects related to Pere Marquette Park (the project property). Partners include the West
Michigan Regional Water Authority (WMRWA) and the communities that WMRWA serves, the City of Norton
Shores and Fruitport Township. These communities represent approximately 30,000 people that are served by a
36-inch water main that runs along Beach Street, on the shores of Lake Michigan. The project team has initiated
contact with the Beachwood-Bluffton Neighborhood Association (BBNA) a 501(c) nonprofit organization.
BBNA is an active neighborhood association that includes Pere Marquette Park and the area south of the water
filtration plant. It is anticipated that the BBNA will support pre- and post-restoration monitoring, such as
vegetation, invertebrate, and wildlife surveys. The improvements proposed herein will provide improved
ecological habitat while protecting the primary water infrastructure for the project partners and maintaining safe
access to Pere Marquette Park and nearby communities. The project also will also help protect and provide
additional resiliency for the Muskegon Water Filtration Plant, which provides water regionally to approximately
90,000 people from the City and neighboring communities. Additional benefits include supporting a vibrant park
on the shore of Lake Michigan that is a popular tourist destination and an economic draw for the region; tourism
in Muskegon County generates $300 million annually.
d. Project Location: The project is located at Pere Marquette Park along the Lake Michigan coastline in the City of
Muskegon, Muskegon County, Michigan. The City of Muskegon is the largest populated city on the western
shores of Michigan and is home to approximately 38,131 yearly residents. Pere Marquette Park is a favorite
recreational destination for City residents and neighboring communities. Pere Marquette Park offers the nearest
and most accessible Great Lakes beaches to the most economically vulnerable communities within the County.
The project area is located along 2,200 feet of Beach Street between the City of Muskegon Water Filtration Plant
and Norman F. Kruse Park. Portions of the project area have been classified by the State of Michigan as a Critical
Dune Zone through the State of Michigan Critical Dune Areas
Program. Critical Dune Zones in this region provide essential habitat
for federal and state-listed threatened and endangered species such as
the Karner blue butterfly and Pitcher’s thistle. The project area is
surrounded by vegetated coastal dune systems within various nearby
State and County parks: Pioneer County Park, Muskegon State Park,
and Pere Marquette Park to the north and to the south the Muskegon
Dog Beach, Norman F. Kruse Park, and the former Nugent Sand
Mining area (a 377-acre parcel) currently under consideration for Figure 2: Coastal erosion along Lake Michigan north of
acquisition and recreational development by the County. the Project Area. Image courtesy of Rep Bill Huizenga.
Part II – Overview of proposed methods, outcomes, and activities.
1. Methods: The team will use an integrated approach that combines green and grey-solutions and associated best
practices to protect critical infrastructure, restore critical dune habitat, and provide long-term resiliency. This
integrated approach recognizes the need for hardened infrastructure, as originally proposed by the City to protect
the road and watermain under high-water conditions, while also recognizing the limitations of such infrastructure
to provide habitat and aesthetic value. Green remediation methods that may be integrated into the long-term,
permanent remedy include 1) artificial reef structures appropriately spaced along the shore to assist with wave-
energy attenuation to reduce erosive forces along the coastline and provide fishery habitat and opportunities for
recreational fishing; 2) beach and dune nourishment paired with biostabilization measures such as native
vegetation, rootwad structures, and vegetated riprap to stabilize dune systems and provide critical habitat to a
variety of native species; and 3) blending of inorganic (i.e., rock) and vegetated (e.g., tree or root wad structures)
riprap to provide added habitat when stabilizing the shoreline. Utilizing multiple lines of defense will be key to
providing long-term habitat resiliency along with critical-infrastructure protection.
2. Project Outcome(s): We proposed to develop a plan and associated 50% design that includes the following
outcomes:
• Develop Designs that use a combination of green and grey solutions to provide protection for the critical
infrastructure along Beach Street.
• Develop Designs that restore the critical lakeshore dune habitat within the project area through beach
nourishment and stabilizing the dune using a combination of nature-based solutions.
• Ensure that the proposed design plans provide long-term resiliency for the Lake Michigan flooding and wave
action to better protect critical infrastructure, critical dune habitat, and a popular tourist destination.
• Ensure that the proposed design plans provide long-term resiliency under high and low-water lake conditions,
recognizing that the Great Lakes watershed is a dynamic system that must function under a range of water
elevations.
• Document the planning and design process so it can be shared and used as a model for future natural
shorelines solutions within the Great Lakes Basin.
3. Proposed Activities: In order to achieve multiple objectives, the proposed activities for this project include the
following components:
1) An Analysis of Existing Conditions and Ecological Survey will be required to understand site complexity.
This analysis will be used to compare the site to nearby reference areas that demonstrated greater resilience
through the recent and ongoing highwater levels.
2) A topographic and bathymetric survey as well as a grain size analysis and hydrodynamic model will be
required to inform the design and effectively choose the best design method to achieve project outcomes.
3) Using the February 24, 2020 Abonmarche Coastal Protection Strategy Evaluation and Alternative Analysis as a
baseline, we will compare various green and green-grey coastal protection strategies and their associated costs in
a high-level alternatives analysis report. The report will be presented to stakeholders and regulatory agencies and
will inform the preferred design alternative.
4) Preliminary designs will be developed based on the preferred design alternative, and will include proposed
grading chances, proposed engineering and biostabilization solutions, and planting plans.
5) The final preferred design alternative will be developed into a preliminary 60% design, including 60% Design
Plans and specifications, and cost estimates.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 14, 2020 Title: E-Bikes
Submitted By: Jeffrey Lewis Department: Public Safety
Brief Summary: MUPD requests funds from its capital outlay budget for the purchase of (2) two
electric assist bikes and a (1) one bike carrier to assist in addressing the spike of crime being seen
during the COVID-19 crisis. Cost for this purchase is $4,564.00 per bike and $549.00 for the bike
carrier (includes shipping). Total funds needed; $9,677.00.
Detailed Summary: MUPD has seen significant increases in Burglaries, Larcenies, Assaults and
other various crimes during this COVID-19 crisis. These increases have been tracked both monthly
and from last year in March. In response, we are instituting High Intensity Patrols to thwart these
crimes. The purchase of these electric bikes and the bike carrier will assist us in this prevention
effort due to the fact that they are quiet, can cover more ground due to their speed and can get into
areas without being seen as easily. Our officers have practiced on these bikes and they are easy
to maneuver and will be an effective way to prevent or stop many crimes in progress.
Amount Requested: $9,677.00 Amount Budgeted:
Fund(s) or Account(s): 101-40301-5720 Fund(s) or Account(s):
Recommended Motion: Approve the purchase of (2) Two E-Bikes and (1) One Bike Carrier from
Great Lakes Segway

TAX INCENTIVES POLICY
INFORMATION PACKET AND GUIDELINES
OVERVIEW:
A company that is in the planning phase of a major business attraction or expansion project that
will include a capital investment in real and/or personal property may be eligible for a number of
statutorily provided and locally approved tax incentives or abatements. The City of Muskegon
strives to apply these incentives with maximum return on investment for the developer and
community. The process for requesting and receiving an eligible tax incentive for a development
or expansion project has been simplified in the following policy guidelines and forms.
The City of Muskegon maintains this policy with the objectives of:
• increasing employment opportunities for our residents,
• diversifying and stabilizing the tax base of the community,
• reducing functional obsolescence of existing buildings and lots,
• encouraging expansion of our existing business base,
• providing for improved housing and commercial amenities for the community,
• encouraging attractive, viable building sites and
• enhancing our economic development tools to attract and retain businesses
POLICY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
1. A tax abatement shall not be granted until there is compliance with the associated state
statute; and
2. Leasehold property shall not qualify for a real property tax abatement unless applicant is
responsible for payment of the property taxes, and can demonstrate timely payment of property
taxes upon the City’s request; and
3. A tax abatement shall be issued for a term reflective of the points earned in the City’s scoring
matrix; and
4. A tax abatement shall not be issued unless an Applicant completes the attached application
form and provides all necessary documents to ensure accurate scoring by the Tax Incentive
Review Committee.
APPLICATION PROCESS:
Once a company has determined that it meets the minimum criteria for consideration of a tax
abatement, then a company may begin the process of formally applying for the relevant
incentive. The process is as follows:
1. Letter of Intent submitted on applicant’s letterhead to the Planning Director (No
improvements shall be considered for abatement if made or permitted prior to the approval of
the abatement application).
2. Complete any relevant Michigan Department of Treasury Forms. Include with the form:
a. Cost Sheet for anticipated improvements in real property.
b. Lease Agreement showing building terms and applicants’ tax liability (if applicable).
3. Submit application form and attachments to the City of Muskegon Planning Department.
4. Tax Incentive Review Committee verifies completion and eligibility of Applicant’s documents
for submission and makes recommendation to the City Commission regarding approval and
length of the requested abatement.
5. City Commission Public Hearings are scheduled.
6. City Commission votes on establishment of the District and approval of the associated
abatement (City Commission may also vote to reject any application for abatement).
7. Resolution submitted to State Tax Commission for final approval and issuance of certificates
where necessary.
8. Projected investment must be complete within two years or risk liability for any abated values.
LENGTH OF THE TAX ABATEMENT:
The City Commission has approved the use of the following matrices to calculate the length of
the associated tax abatement. The points in this scoring system are tied to community goals
endorsed by elected officials and staff, thereby rewarding and incentivizing specific development
types and values with additional potential years of abatement:

TAX ABATEMENT APPLICATION FEE:
The City Commission has authorized the implementation of a non-refundable application fee of
$1,000.00 for Public Act 146, Public Act 255, and Public Act 210 abatement applications. Public
Act 198 tax abatement applications carry a non-refundable application fee equal to 2% of the
abated taxes, not to exceed $1,722.
REQUIREMENTS AFTER TAX ABATEMENT IS APPROVED:
By the December 31 that is two years after the December 31 of the year that the abatement is
approved, the applicant will supply the Planning Director with a letter confirming that the
purchases, employment numbers, renovations, and/or other applicable cognates are complete.
If these figures have not been reached, a letter of explanation must be submitted to the Planning
Director, for review by City Commission, which may then cancel the abatement, or offer a new
abatement with reduced values and years.
For assistance with your business attraction and retention needs, please contact the City
Economic Development Office at 231-724-6870. For assistance with the associated process and
application, please contact the City Planner’s Office at 231-724-6702.
