Sewer Rate & Budget Implications – Public Works
The City Commission approved a 3% rate increase to the sewer at the June 23rd
Commission Meeting. This resulted in an approximately $350,000 shortfall in the sewer
fund for the 20-21 Budget Year. A memo was provided summarizing options to making
up the shortfall.
City Commissioners discussed options presented in the memo provided by the Public
Works Director, Leo Evans, who explained where the increase in cost is coming from as
well as some options to possibly reduce expenses, options to potentially increase
revenue, and some other alternatives.
Commissioners discussed the possibility of a 2% increase and removal of projects to
help cover the shortfall.
Mercy Health Arena Solar Installation – Public Works
Public Works Director, Leo Evans, presented information regarding preliminary
proposals from Charthouse Energy to install and operate solar arrays on the roofs of
Mercy Health Arena and the Annex.
The Preliminary proposal from Charthouse Energy that summarizes the project and the
parameters. Charthouse Energy has already successfully partnered with several other
local municipalities namely Muskegon Heights and Norton Shores on projects as well as
several private installations including Torresen’s Marina.
The Commission is supportive of the project.
West Urban Properties Agreement – City Manager
In June, the City Commission accepted a Letter of Intent from West Urban Properties
and authorized the city manager and city attorney to finalize a development agreement.
The proposed development agreement is provided and recommended for approval.
We are proposing the framework of a Pilot program that we would use to initially partner
with West Urban Properties to construct 100 units on vacant city lots. As part of the
program, either the City of West urban Properties may choose to stop home
construction prior to the completion of the 100 homes. The program is expected to be
applicable to many different builders/developers and many different housing types and
densities. As the City tries to reverse 40+ years of neighborhood disinvestment, it is
important that we acknowledge the areas that make us less attractive for development
than urban areas. Some of those items are more in our control than others. This
program focuses strictly on developer return on investment – with the goal of the city
acting as a partner to help ensure that a major investment in rental housing neither fails
to cashflow nor causes unreasonable increases in local rents. Many times, affordability
and profitability contradict one another – this Pilot program is designed to help attain
both.
The City Commission will have the opportunity to review the proposed program and the
item will be placed on the agenda for consideration on July 28, 2020.
There was some discussion regarding the Brownfield Amendment Plan as it relates to
the West Urban Properties Pilot Program and other infill housing opportunities, including
future opportunities.
The Worksession Meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.

Re: Muskegon Harvey Booster Station
MCC No. 1 Upgrades Proposal
Dear Mr. Mungarwadi:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit our professional services proposal to assist the City of
Muskegon with upgrading the Harvey Booster Station Motor Control Center (MCC) No. 1 and pump
variable speed drives (VFD’s).
Tetra Tech has been involved with the City of Muskegon WFP control system since the early 1990’s
and continues to serve the City of Muskegon with control system design, implementation and
programming tasks from a verity of our most experienced engineering staff, some who have been
involved with engineering related tasks for the City for nearly 30 years.
Our service to the City of Muskegon includes design and implementation of the entire existing
control system, including the remote pump stations & tanks as well as many upgrades at the WFP.
Tetra Tech staff are always a phone call away and have assisted the WFP staff on many occasions,
including outside of normal business hours.
Based on our discussions it is our understanding that you would like to upgrade Harvey Booster
Station MCC No. 1 and also replace two existing soft starters for City pump No. 1 and No. 2 with new
VFD’s. Currently City pumps No. 1 and No. 2 are constant speed (soft starters) operation, this
upgrade will add variable frequency drives (variable speed operation) to both of the City pumps.
Tetra Tech proposes to provide design, assistance with direct contractor price procurement,
construction and programming integration services under this proposal.
SCOPE OF WORK
The detailed scope of engineering services is as follows:
Design
• Tetra Tech will collect important onsite design information from the City to proceed with full
design (see assumptions below).

• Tetra Tech will conduct one onsite pre-construction meeting.
• Tetra Tech will provide 2-days of on-site construction verification to verify the contractor has
installed and configured the components correctly.
• In addition, Tetra Tech will provide onsite start-up services to assist the City during
installation and startup of the system. We have budgeted a total of 16-hours for an
electrical engineer and 16-hours for a programmer to fully commission the software and
verify the hardware.
Programming
• Tetra Tech will modify the existing programmable logic controller (PLC) programs to
integrate the new Allen-Bradley PLC Input/outputs (I/O) to control the two new VFD’s.
• Tetra Tech will modify the existing PLC logic at the WFP that communicates to the booster
station PLC to integrate the new VFD’s into the WFP SCADA system.
• Tetra Tech will update the Harvey Booster Station Wonderware screen to incorporate the
two new VFD’s.
• Tetra Tech will modify the existing Wonderware Historian to incorporate the new analog
signals associated with the Harvey VFD’s.
ASSUMPTIONS
• City will provide the following information as part of the project field investigation;
o Gather data on existing MCC buckets.
o Field verify conduit & wire length.

Hi Doug,
My name is Greg Bush. I am a local resident, owner, and creator of The Pizza Cone Trolley. The idea for
the trolley came from years of working in the food industry in a variety of positions and catering to large
scale events. All staff is trained regarding ServSafe regulations and the art of customer service.
The Pizza Cone Trolley puts a whole new spin on eating pizza. Fresh ingredients such as parsley,
homemade sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Italian sausage are enveloped by a pizza dough cone. This
makes eating pizza easy to eat so customers can continue on their journey of enjoying the event they
are at. Only one hand is needed to enjoy a pizza cone! Visit the Pizza Cone Trolley for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner. In the morning for a tasty breakfast treat consisting of ingredients such as eggs, sausage,
cheese, and breakfast gravy. Or maybe veggies are more your thing and choose mozzarella cheese,
green and red peppers, mushrooms, spinach, and onions. Come back for lunch and dinner to enjoy a
pizza filled cone. May I recommend my favorite, the Naples...a cone filled with grilled chicken,
mozzarella and parmesan cheese, onions, green peppers, and my original trolley pizza sauce...I know,
your mouth is watering right now. Each of the cones on the menu is full and has tasty options for every
palate. Orders are fresh, every cone has homemade fresh ingredients made to order any time. The Pizza
Cone Trolley food is fun.
The Pizza Cone Trolley is looking to be considered as a food vendor down at the Pier Marquette Beach
Area for the remainder of the summer.
Proposed days and hours of operation would be...Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and
Sundays...weather permitting. 10:00 a.m. till 10:00 p.m.
Attached are pictures of my trolley, menu, what a pizza cone looks like, license, and insurance.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
Thank you,

Submitted By: Joe Buckingham Department: DPW/Equipment
Brief Summary:
The Equipment Division is requesting permission to purchase two (2) Chevy Impalas from Betten
Chevrolet for police administration vehicle replacement. The cost for the two vehicles will be
$51,053.36.

One vehicle was scheduled to be replaced in the current budget year and the second, to be
reforecast, after insurance payout for the first quarter. This vehicle was involved in a “not at fault”

of GM stopping production of the Impala line, making them very hard to find. We were very
fortunate to find two at our local dealer as they are no longer available through MIDeal.
With the rent already collected on the wrecked vehicle and the insurance payout we will have
money in the Equipment budget for this purchase.

Commission Meeting Date: 7/28/2020 Title: Lakeview Lofts Phase II Bridge Loan
Submitted By: Jake Eckholm Department: Economic Development
Brief Summary: The developers at Lakeview Lofts have run into Covid-19 related delays and
impacts from MEDC related to their contribution to the capital stack for the second building on
Western Avenue. The project has a reservation for some crucial components and are requesting a
bridge loan from the Economic Development Fund to keep the project on schedule.
Detailed Summary:
Lakeview Lofts Phase II has a capital stack that includes financing from both PNC Bank and the
Michigan Economic Development Corporation. The MEDC has previously issued a letter of intent
(LOI) that expired during the pandemic due to PNC Bank holding up their end of the financing.
Since then, MEDC has been very slow to reissue the LOI and has held up the process to a point
that the developers are at risk of losing their reservation for commercial concrete and foundation
construction. If this occurs, the project will be pushed to next year, and the PNC portion of the
financing will be lost as a portion is Opportunity Fund investments which must be committed by the
end of the calendar year. This would endanger the project in total, which consists of 35 apartments
and a new restaurant space. Staff recommends granting the loan as applied for, with a maximum
interest free term of 6 months. If 6 months is exceeded, retroactive interest payments of prime plus
2% should be added to the principal, and default may be pursued by the City of Muskegon.
Amount Requested: $450,000 Amount Budgeted: N/A, Capital Fund

Submitted By: Frank Peterson Department: City Manager
Brief Summary: City staff is seeking authorization to enter into the purchase agreement with
LeighAnn Mikesell, a City of Muskegon employee.
Detailed Summary: 1188 4th Street was a regular area of concern among neighbors. In an attempt

part of the scattered site brownfield project. Any difference in sales price and renovation cost will
be recovered via tax capture.
In order to comply with state and local conflict of interest concerns, Ms. Mikesell has submitted a
letter to the mayor disclosing her interest in the property and outlining the benefits of this sale to
her and to the City. The letter has been noticed to the public along with the agenda for the
commission meeting.
The sale can only be approved by a unanimous vote of all commissioners.
If approved, the minutes of the commission meeting must disclose the name of each party involved
in the contract, the terms of the contract, the nature of the financial interest of the public servant
with the conflict, and that the sale is in the best interests of the City.
Amount Requested: None at this time Amount Budgeted: $0

to Ms. Mikesell and authorize the City Manager to sign the purchase agreement and complete the

Jackson Hill Neighborhoods. Some of these lots will be split, creating a total of 249 subject parcels. Ten
of the parcels contain homes that will be rehabbed, the rest are vacant lots that will be used to construct
new residential units. The new residential units will consist mostly of detached homes and rowhomes,
with the possibility of a few duplexes and small multi-plexes as the market dictates. The project also
includes the demolition of the former Froebel school in order to redevelop the property with a variety
residential units. In addition, the plan also includes the addition of public infrastructure at the former
farmers market to add additional residential units.

1. Introduction
The City of Muskegon, Michigan (the “City”), established the Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority (the “Authority”) on July 4, 1997, pursuant to Michigan Public Act 381 of 1996, as amended
(“Act 381”). The primary purpose of Act 381 is to encourage the redevelopment of eligible property
by providing economic incentives through tax increment financing for certain eligible activities.
The main purpose of this Brownfield Plan is to promote the redevelopment of and investment in
certain “Brownfield” properties within the City. Inclusion of the subject properties within this Plan
will facilitate the development of infill housing at eligible properties. By facilitating redevelopment of
underutilized properties, the Plan is intended to promote economic growth for the benefit of the
residents of the City and all taxing units located within and benefited by the Authority.
This Plan is intended to be a living document, which can be amended as necessary to achieve the
purposes of Act 381. It is specifically anticipated that properties will be continually added to the Plan
as new projects are identified. The Plan contains general provisions applicable to the Plan, as well as
property-specific information for each project. The applicable Sections of Act 381 are noted
throughout the Plan for reference purposes.
This Brownfield Plan contains the information required by Section 13(1) of Act 381, as amended.
Additional information is available from the Muskegon City Manager or the Planning Director.
The Infill Housing Project was originally added to this Plan on April 14, 2019. This amendment seeks
to modify certain aspects of the plan; most notably by adding more parcels and increasing the “cost
of sale” margin.
2. General Provisions
A. Costs of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(1)(a))
Any site-specific costs of implementing this Plan are described in the site-specific section of the Plan.
Site-specific sources of funding may include tax increment financing revenue generated from new
development on eligible brownfield properties, state and federal grant or loan funds, and/or private
parties. Where private parties finance the costs of eligible activities under the Plan, tax increment
revenues may be used to reimburse the private parties. The initial costs related to preparation of the
Brownfield Plan were funded by the City’s general fund. Subsequent amendments to the Plan may
be funded by the person requesting inclusion of a project in the Plan, and if eligible, may be
reimbursed through tax increment financing.
The Authority intends to pay for administrative costs and all of the things necessary or convenient to
achieve the objectives and purposes of the Authority with fees charged to applicants to be included
in the Plan, and any eligible tax increment revenues collected pursuant to the Plan, in accordance with
the provisions of Act 381, including, but not limited to:
i) the cost of financial tracking and auditing the funds of the Authority,
ii) costs for amending and/or updating this Plan, and
iii) costs for Plan implementation
Tax increment revenues that may be generated and captured by this Plan are identified in the site-
specific sections of this Plan.
B. Method for Financing Costs of Plan (Section 13(1)(d) and (e))
The City or Brownfield Authority may incur some debt on a site-specific basis. Please refer to the site-
specific section of this Plan for details on any debt to be incurred by the City or Authority. When a
property proposed for inclusion in the Plan is in an area where tax increment financing is a viable
option, the Authority intends to enter into Development Agreements with the property
owners/developers of properties included in the Plan to reimburse them for the costs of eligible
activities undertaken pursuant to this Plan. Financing arrangements will be specified in a
Development and Reimbursement Agreement, and also identified in the Site Specific section of the
Plan.
C. Duration of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(1)(f))
The duration of this Plan is not to exceed 30 years. It is estimated that all of the homes associated
with the Project will be completed by 2023. Since the “cost of sale” will vary for each home, as will
construction costs, it is impossible to know exactly how long it will take to completely recapture
eligible costs through tax increment revenues, although it is anticipated that it will be well within the
30 year time frame. In addition, once all activity costs are reimbursed, funds may be captured for the
local site remediation revolving fund, if available. The duration of capture for the Project already
began in 2020 and will continue until such time that all the eligible activities undertaken in this Plan
are reimbursed, but in no event will the Plan exceed the maximum duration provided for in (MCLA
125.2663(1)(22)). The total costs of eligible activities include the cost of principal and interest on any
note or obligation issued by the Authority to pay for the costs of eligible activities, the cost of principal
and interest otherwise incurred to pay for eligible activities, the reasonable costs of a work plan or
remedial action plan and the costs of preparation of Brownfield Plans and amendments.
D. Displacement/Relocation of Individuals on Eligible Properties (Section 13(1)(i),(j)(k)(l)
Eligible properties identified in this Plan will not require the displacement/relocation of existing
residences, therefore the provisions of Section 13(1)(i-l) are not applicable at this time.
E. Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund (Section 8; Section 13(1)(m))
Whenever this Plan includes a property for which taxes will be captured through the tax increment
financing authority provided by Act 381, it is the Authority's intent to establish and fund a Local Site
Remediation Revolving Fund ("Fund"). The Fund will consist of tax increment revenues that exceed
the costs of eligible activities incurred on an eligible property, as specified in Section 13(5) of Act 381.
Section 13(5) authorizes the capture of tax increment revenue from an eligible property for up to 5
years after the time that capture is required for the purposes of paying the costs of eligible activities
identified in the Plan. It is the intention of the Authority to continue to capture tax increment
revenues for 5 years after eligible activities are funded from those properties identified for tax capture
in the Plan, provided that the time frame allowed by Act 381 for tax capture is sufficient to
accommodate capture to capitalize a Fund. The amount of school operating taxes captured for the
Revolving Fund will be limited to the amount of school operating taxes captured for eligible
environmental response activities under this Plan. It may also include funds appropriated or
otherwise made available from public or private sources.
The Revolving Fund may be used to reimburse the Authority, the City, and private parties for the costs
of eligible activities at eligible properties and other costs as permitted by Act 381. It may also be used
for eligible activities on an eligible property for which there is no ability to capture tax increment
revenues. The establishment of this Revolving Fund will provide additional flexibility to the Authority
in facilitating redevelopment of brownfield properties by providing another source of financing for
necessary eligible activities.
3. Site Specific Provisions
A. Eligibility and Project Description (Sec. 13(1)(h))
The eligible properties comprising the Infill Housing Project included in this Plan is

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: July 28, 2020 Title: West Urban Properties Agreement
Submitted By: Frank Peterson Department: City Manager
Brief Summary: In June, the City Commission accepted a Letter of Intent from West Urban Properties and
authorized the city manager and city attorney to finalize a development agreement. The proposed
development agreement is attached and recommended for approval.
Detailed Summary: We are proposing the framework of a Pilot program that we would use to initially
partner with West Urban Properties to construct 100 units on vacant city lots. As part of the program,
either the City or West Urban Properties may choose to stop home construction prior to the completion of
the 100 homes. The program is expected to be applicable to many different builders/developers and many
different housing types and densities. As the City tries to revers 40+ years of neighborhood disinvestment,
it is important that we acknowledge the areas that make us less-attractive for development than urban
areas. Some of those items are more in our control than others. This program focuses strictly on
developer return on investment – with the goal of the city acting as a partner to help ensure that a major
investment in rental housing neither fails to cashflow nor causes unreasonable increases in local rents.
Many times, affordability and profitability contradict one another – this Pilot Program is designed to help
attain both.

FINAL FROM FRANK
PILOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS PILOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made on the ____ day of
________, 2020, by and between the CITY OF MUSKEGON, a Michigan municipal corporation,
whose address is 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan 49440 (the “City”) and West Urban
Properties, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, whose address is 3265 Walker Avenue,
Suite D, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 49544 (the “Developer”).
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to P.A. 381 of 1996, as amended, (“Act 381”), the Muskegon Brownfield
Authority adopted a brownfield plan on ____________ (the “Brownfield Plan”) to add numerous
vacant properties, as specified on attached Exhibit A (the “Property”).
B. The Property is included in the City’s Scattered Site Brownfield Project, as
amended by the Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority on ________.
C. The Developer intends to redevelop the Property into a 100-unit scattered site
residential rental neighborhood where no less than 40% of the units are allocated to tenants with
income levels between 70% and 120% of the Area Median Income, as defined by the Michigan
State Housing Development Authority (the “Project”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Project Completion.
a. Developer agrees to purchase the Property described in attached Exhibit A.
i. The Developer will be responsible for all survey work associated with lot line
adjustments, except that City shall be responsible for all costs, including costs associated
with any necessary survey to create tax parcels.
ii. City will waive or pay for all water and sewer connection fees. Developer shall
be responsible for all other fees, specifically including mechanical, plumbing electrical and
any other construction and building permit fees.
i. b. Operating Incentive. In exchange for the Developer’s
commitment to allocate 40% of the units to be rented by individuals with income levels between
70% and 120% of Area Median Income, as defined by the Michigan State Housing Development
Authority, the City agrees to provide an operating incentive to ensure such affordability as
provided in Paragraph 3.
2. Rental Rates.
The Developer shall be responsible for verifying tenant income to ensure his/her
qualifications for any income-restricted units. An income-qualified tenant’s rent shall be set to
follow the the RENT LIMITS established annually by the Michigan State Housing Development
Authority (MSHDA) for a Muskegon County family earning between 70% and120% AMI and
renting 1-3-bedroom home. The Developer is not obligated to rent any units below the 70%
RENT LIMIT, regardless of the tenant’s verified income level. Exhibit C of This Agreement
demonstrates that initial rent limits as established by MSHDA in April 2020.
2
3. Shared Rental Benefit.
a. As an incentive to assist moderate income renters, the Developer may from time
to time rent units at a rental rate below $1,300 per month. In the event the developer rents a
unit to an income-qualified resident for less than $1,300 per month, the city will reimburse the
Developer as follows:
(1) if the rental rate is between $1,050 and $1,300, City will reimburse the
Developer the difference between the rental rate and $1,300; and
(2) If the rental rate is below $1,050, the City will pay $250 to Developer plus 50%
of the difference between the rental rate and $1,050.
As an incentive to attract market rate renters, the Developer may from time to time rent units at
a rental rate above $1,300 per month. In the event the developer rents a unit to a tenant for
more than $1,550 per month, the Developer will remit to the city 50% of the difference between
the actual rental rate and $1,550 per month.
b. City shall establish the “West Urban Properties Rental Subsidy Fund’. The City shall
deposit $250,000 from the City of Muskegon Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund, which
was created in part by a gift from Sappi Paper Company when the company ceased operations
for economic development. All monies owed to the Developer by City pursuant to Paragraph
3(a) shall be paid from the West Urban Properties Rental Subsidy Fund and all monies owed by
the Developer to the City pursuant to Paragraph 3(a) shall be credited to the West Urban
Properties Rental Subsidy Fund. On a quarterly basis, Developer shall provide documentation, to
City’s satisfaction, as to the amount City owes Developer and/or Developer owes City pursuant
to Paragraph 3(a). Upon termination of this Pilot Development Agreement, all monies left in the
3
West Urban Properties Rental Subsidy Fund shall revert to the City of Muskegon Economic
Development Revolving Loan Fund for economic development and any amounts owed to the
Developer shall be waived. City shall have no obligation to reimburse Developer for any reason
from any other City fund.
4. Vacancy Assistance.
During the first 30 days after completion of a home with a certificate of occupancy, the
Developer shall be responsible for any vacancy losses. After the 30-day holding period and during
the first 12 months of the completion of a home with a certificate of occupancy, the City will
reimburse the Developer $1,300 per month while the unit is owned by Developer and vacant.
Any monies owed by City shall be taken from the Fund established in Paragraph 3(b) and from
no other source of City monies. Any unit that remains vacant for more than three months must
be listed on the MLS at a price not more than 110% of cost to construct, which will be accepted
by Developer. Failure to list the property for sale at not more than 110% of the cost to construct
shall render the City’s obligation to provide vacancy assistance invalid. If the provisions of this
Paragraph are exercised by Developer, then City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
as to any building not under construction at the time the City provided notice of its intent to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph. Both parties agree that a building will be
considered under construction only after the foundation and/or building slab is in place.
5. Renter Opportunity to Purchase.
With a 60-day written notice from any Tenant to the Landlord. Tenant shall have the
option to purchase their occupied Leased Premises at the current appraised value plus any
4
subsidy paid from the West Urban Properties Rental Subsidy Fund for that unit, unless that value
is less than the original cost to build the residential dwelling.
6. Property Taxes.
In the event that the State Equalized Values (SEV) assigned to properties by the City Assessor at
the completion of a phase results in an initial an annual property tax bill in excess of $2,325 per
unit, parties agree to amend that Section 3(a) of this Pilot Agreement to offset the increased
property tax burden. Annually, beginning January 1, 2022, the $2,325 maximum per unit average
shall increase or decrease with the Consumers Price Index regularly used by the Muskegon City
Assessor.
7. Term of Agreement.
The Developer’s and City’s obligations under this Agreement for any individual parcel shall
terminate 20 years from the issuance of the original certificate of occupancy or upon a sale of
the parcel that results in an uncapping of the Property’s Taxable Value, but never after January
1, 2045 (the “Term”).
This 100-unit Pilot shall be completed in 4 phases of 25 home increments. The
Developer and City agree to meet upon the completion of each phase to discuss the
performance of the prior phase before proceeding onto the next phase. At that time, if either
party is dissatisfied with the performance of the phase, the upcoming phase may be postponed
for up to 12 months by providing written notice.
If Developer is not constructing units on the Property for a 12-month period, as evidenced
by the failure to pull permits and complete construction in a timely manner, the Pilot
5
Development Agreement shall terminate, after Notice as required by Paragraph 8, as to Parcels
where Developer is not pursuing construction.
Should any court of competent jurisdiction find any portion of the Pilot Development
Agreement void and/or prohibits City from funding any obligation provided in this Pilot
Development Agreement, either City or Developer may terminate this Pilot Development
Agreement with no consequences from the other party.
8. Notices.
All notices, payments, demands or requests required or permitted to be given pursuant
to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served
effective on the second (2nd) business day after being deposited in the United States mail,
