Brief Summary: Staff is presenting a development proposal to construct single and multi-family
housing for rent and purchase in three urban core neighborhoods. A subsequent proposal will
include a mixed use development at Angell School.
Detailed Summary: The initial proposal includes the sale of 55 lots scattered throughout the Angell,
Jackson Hill, and McLaughlin neighborhoods with the goal of increasing to at least 100 lots.
Homes will be offered for rent and for sale, depending on what the market will bear and will be

properties will include new construction while others will include renovation of existing structures.
The developers are interested in partnering with the local business community to manage and
service the properties.
The developers are requesting that each property be sold for $1 and that water and sewer
connection fees be covered by the city. To protect their investment, the developers are also
requesting first right of refusal on additional lots and homes that the city acquires within ½ mile of
their current investments.

C. First Responder Hazard Pay Premium Program Finance
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To authorize staff to apply for reimbursement under the
State of Michigan’s First Responder Hazard Pay Premium Program.
As part of the State of Michigan’s CARES Act the First Responder Hazard Pay
Premium Program will reimburse employers for hazard pay premiums paid to
eligible employees who have performed hazardous duty or work involving
physical hardship related to COVID 19 up to $1,000 per employee.
During the months of April and May the City paid all sworn police, fire personnel,
and employees working a full 40 hours who were deemed essential a flat $100
per week. Additionally, all employees that were expected to directly interact in
a face-to-face capacity with residents of handle mail or cash from outside of
City hall were paid an additional $2.50 per hour for all hours worked. Under the
State CARES Act Public Safety and Public Health Payroll Reimbursement
Program the City was able to apply for reimbursement of all Police and Fire
wages and payroll expenditures for April and May. So we expected to be
reimbursed all the essential duty and hazard duty pay and payroll costs paid to
Police and Fire along with their regular pay and payroll costs.
Fire personnel have spoken to the State and confirmed that they would also be
Page 3 of 9
eligible to receive an additional $1,000 per employee that the city could be
reimbursed for. The Finance office has confirmed this. The reimbursement would
only be for up to $1,000 per employee and would not reimburse the City for their
payroll costs. We have 92 First Responders and have estimated the payroll costs
to be $18,581.
The application will be submitted as payment is pending approval of funds
availability. The State has earmarked $100,000,000 for this program.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $18,581
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize staff to apply for the State of
Michigan’s CARES Act First Responder Hazard Pay Premium Program.
Motion by Commissioner Johnson second by Commissioner Rinsema-Sybenga,
to authorize staff to apply for the State of Michigan’s CARES Act First Responder
Hazard Pay Premium Program.

D. Consumers Energy Easements Development Services
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking direction for two lease agreements to

change the size, enlarge, and protect their electric facilities adjacent to the

construct additional facilities.
As compensation of the easements, Consumers Energy agrees to pay the city
$11,800 based on property values in the area. City staff propose to use the funds
to plant trees throughout the urban core of the city with many targeted for the
downtown area. Please note that the requirements for each easement are
different based on how close the Consumer’s line is to the City of Muskegon
property line.
For the 0005-00 parcel, the Consumers line is 70’ from the city’s property line, and
a 10’ wide easement is needed to remove “danger trees” only. Danger trees
are trees that could exceed 35’ in height and fall into the line.
For the 0003-00 parcel, the Consumers line is 35’ from the city’s property line. This
requires a 5’ easement to remove all vegetation, and a 40’ wide easement to
remove “danger trees.”

E. Social District Plan and Map Approval Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: With state enabling legislation for Social Districts, city
staff is proposing a Downtown Muskegon Social District for approval of a plan
and district map and filling them with the Michigan Liquor Control Commission.
Public Act 124 of 2020 allows cities to create Social Districts and within them
Common Areas where alcoholic beverages from participating licensed
establishments can be possessed and consumed outside of the establishments’
service areas. A Downtown Muskegon Social District was presented at the
August City Commission work session designed to create fun and new energy in
the downtown, while assisting participating restaurants and bars to expand
business during COVID-19 restrictions. The district would be managed by the
city’s downtown manager in conjunction with a number of city departments.
The plan addresses a year-round, seven-day-a-week Social District in terms of
marked boundaries, hours of operation, enforcement, security, design of a
district cup, sanitation, marketing and entertainment. Since the work session, the
draft plan and accompanying map have been changed to eliminate the Social
District and Common Area north of Shoreline Drive and at this time the ability to
carry district alcoholic beverages across Shoreline Drive. The other change was
an expansion of the financing options to include fees per cup, annual
establishment participation fees, daily patron wristband fees and potential
district sponsorship revenues. Staff has brought together a working group of
participating establishment representatives to come to a consensus on a
funding model that would pay for all of the city’s cost in implementing and
managing the district. A resolution supporting the Downtown Muskegon Social
District plan and accompanying district map is attached. If approved, the
resolution, plan and map will be sent the Michigan Liquor Control Commission,
operational details set and implementation begun. Participating licensee permit
recommendation approvals are being requested in a separate agenda item.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Downtown Muskegon Social
District and Map and direct the Clerk and Mayor to file it with the Michigan
Liquor Control Commission and authorize staff to implement.

F. Social District Permit Recommendations Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City Commission must recommend approval of the
Michigan Liquor Control Commission permits of participating licensed
establishments in the Downtown Muskegon Social District.
With the establishment of the Downtown Muskegon Social District, participating
licensed establishments must receive a Social District permit from the Michigan
Liquor Control Commission. The MLCC must first receive a recommendation for
approval from the City Commission before granting the permits. The attached
resolution includes the names of the establishments initially seeking a Social
District permit from the state and seeking City Commission recommended
approval. The Social District plan identifies 22 potential participating licensees
within the district. Beyond this initial group of permit applicants, other licensed
establishments may file a Social District permit application in the future.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution recommending
Michigan Liquor Control Commission approval of Social District permits in the
Downtown Muskegon Social District and to direct the City Clerk to certify the
City Commission action with the MLCC.
Motion by Vice Mayor Hood second by Commissioner Johnson, to approve the
resolution recommending Michigan Liquor Control Commission approval of

G. EDA (Economic Development Administration) Public Works and Economic
Adjustment Assistance Program Grant Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is requesting authorization to apply for a grant
through the Economic Development Administration (EDA) Public Works &
Economic Adjustment Assistance Program, with a commitment of matching
Page 6 of 9
funds, to assist in making necessary infrastructure improvements at the former
state-owned West Shoreline Correctional Facility, currently within the Port City
Industrial Park, located at 2725 Olthoff Drive.
Staff is seeking to apply for a $3,500,000 grant through the EDA Public Works and
Economic Adjustment Assistance Program and commit $700,000 in match
towards a total $4.2M project.
The City took ownership of the 61.96 acre project site on 6/25/19 through the
assistance of a $4 million state grant in 2018. Due care, demolition and site
preparation activities have been completed and approximately $700,000 of the
original grant remains unspent. The EDA grant would result in infrastructure
improvements, including water, sewer and transportation network upgrades to
support future industrial and commercial redevelopment onsite as well as within
the Industrial Park complex. Specific improvements include: up-sizing sanitary
sewer capacity of the Olthoff & DeBaker Gravity Sanitary Sewer line & Sherman
Boulevard Gravity Sanitary Sewer line; extending sanitary & water lateral stub
outs from Olthoff into project site; as well as undergoing pavement
reconstruction of a portion of Keating Avenue which is the last piece of original
road in the Industrial Park.
Total estimated project cost is $4,214,000. Applicant match shared requirement
is 20% and EDA expects to fund at least 80% of project amount. Matching funds
derived from remaining balance of 2018 state grant; approximately $700,000.
Estimated engineering costs of $451,500 is a grant-eligible expense. The City is
well positioned to leverage this redevelopment opportunity as it will make our
region more competitive in attracting new investment and job creation given
the site’s proximity to water/sewer infrastructure, access to a variety of
transportation networks and available workforce.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $700,000
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 482-91908, State Grants
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution of support and authorize
the Mayor and Clerk to sign and commit to funding the required match if the
project is selected.

Commission Meeting Date: September 8, 2020 Title: Arena Social Distancing Investments
Submitted By: Frank Peterson Department: City Manager
Brief Summary: Staff is seeking approval to complete the social distancing improvements at the
Mercy Health Arena at a cost not to exceed $25,000.
Detailed Summary: As part COVID-19 response at the arena, there is significant need to provide
space for players – specifically youth players – to social distance while off the city. Typically, we
have four general locker rooms available for players. Each team would use one. This allows two
teams to be on the ice together, and two more to prepare for their game(s). The cycle continues
throughout the day/season. New distancing standards at the arena will require teams to spread out
into two locker rooms. The result would be that all 4 locker rooms would be used by the two teams
on the ice, and no locker rooms would be available for the two teams playing afterward until the on-
ice teams return to their locker room, undress, vacate the room, and the arena staff cleans. We
believe this will cost the arena approximately 60 minutes of downtown for every change over. We
collect on average $285 per hour of ice rental. The down time would cost the arena 16-20 hours of
ice rental each week. Over the course of a 30-week season, this could cost us as much as $170,000.
Staff is recommending that we spend some money expanding the rubber matting down the vacant
tunnel into the former storage area. The large storage area can accommodate two full teams at one
time. We have put together a simple budget for rubber mats at $4,500 for supplies and $500 for
installation. Also paint at $1,500 and erection of a dividing all at $2,500. There will also be a small
amount of asbestos removal estimated at $3,000, and we anticipate need for some benches or
chairs at $3,500 total. We will also have expenses for a storage container at $7,000. We will
undertake the project mostly internally, and only use outside contractors as needed. We are asking
for $22,500 plus $2,500 for contingencies.
Amount Requested: $25,000 Amount Budgeted: $0
Fund(s) or Account(s): Arena Fund Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A
Recommended Motion: Authorize the city manager to expend up to $25,000 to meet social

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: September 8, 2020 Title: City Hall Lighting
Submitted By: Frank Peterson Department: City Manager
Brief Summary: Staff is seeking approval to complete the lighting upgrade at city hall.
Detailed Summary: As part of the recent second floor renovation efforts, all of the light fixtures in
the renovated area were upgraded to LED. The workspace is visibly different, with the new lighted
areas far-better-lit than the older areas. Staff has spoken to the electrician from the remodel, and
they have quoted the same cost per fixture to expand the project to the remaining areas of city hall.
The cost is approximately $150 per fixture. This includes the removal/disposal of old fixture and
the purchase/installation of the new fixtures, as well as miscellaneous costs (permitting, egress
lighting, etc.). The new lights will utilize 40 watts per fixture vs the current 96 watts per fixture.
Staff has estimated the ROI at 66 months. We are requesting enough funding to complete the
remaining fixtures on the second floor, plus 5% contingency. 66 fixtures x $150 = $9,900 plus 5%
contingency = $10,395. We are seeking to move forward with this contractor as they were already
the low bidder on the remodel project and expect that they would continue to be the low bidder on
the change order.
Amount Requested: $10,395 Amount Budgeted: $0
Fund(s) or Account(s): General Fund Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A
Recommended Motion: Authorize the city manager to expend up to $10,395 with Newton Electric

SECTION 1
THE CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAM
In 1966, Congress passed the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (54 U.S.C. § 300101
et. seq.), which recognized the importance of community identity and its relationship to our built
and cultural environment. Among other things, the act codified federal preservation policy and
provided a platform for supporting preservation at the federal and state levels. This included the
establishment of State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) to guide each state’s preservation
activities in coordination with the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS).
In recognition of the value of preservation and community engagement at the local level, the
NHPA was amended in 1980 to include a new federal-state-local partnership, the Certified Local
Government (CLG) program. Through this program, local units of government are empowered
to shape the future of the historic fabric of their communities and provided an incentive to build
strong preservation programs in partnership with NPS and SHPOs, which provide technical
assistance and funding support for local efforts.
Nationally, more than 2,000 municipalities have chosen to participate in the CLG program,
linking communities across the country in a common goal of promoting historic preservation as an
integral component of local planning. A list of Michigan’s CLGs is available at the SHPO website.
Certified Local Government Handbook | 1
WHAT IS A CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT?
Broadly speaking, a CLG is a local unit of government (county, township, city, or village) that makes a
commitment to historic preservation at the local level. CLGs formally demonstrate this commitment by engaging
in a partnership with SHPO to carry out preservation activities and plan for important historic resources as viable
community assets.
Participation in the CLG program signals that a community is preservation-ready, supporting a vision for its
future that respects the tangible link between the community’s built and cultural environment and its sense of
place. At a basic level, CLGs seek to support this vision by:
Integrating preservation into local planning and decision-making processes;
Identifying, protecting, and telling the story of historic resources and heritage sites in the community;
Planning for and leveraging historic resources as valuable community goods;
Identifying and facilitating opportunities for reinvestment in historic resources; and
Partnering with state and federal programs to support local efforts.
A community that wants to become a CLG follows a certification process through which it works with SHPO to
outline a plan that will allow it to achieve its preservation goals (see Section 4). Once certified as a CLG, a
community gains special access to technical assistance, funding opportunities, and other benefits.
Communities across Michigan routinely and purposefully choose to engage
preservation activities because of their role in supporting community character,
sense of place, economic vitality, and quality of life. From Calumet to Detroit, many
of these communities have taken the next step and joined the CLG program, thus
making a formal commitment to preservation by engaging in a partnership with
SHPO to plan for effective preservation strategies.

THE BENEFITS OF BECOMING A CLG
CLG status is a point of pride. It ensures the community’s participation in
the national historic preservation program and demonstrates that the From time to time, additional
community is committed to preservation as part of its planning and incentives such as new SHPO
development activities. The CLG program also provides a platform for programs and funding
strong local preservation programs and provides participating opportunities are announced for
communities with access to exclusive benefits and tools. CLGs. To learn more about
current benefits, visit the
STRONG LOCAL PRESERVATION PROGRAMS Michigan SHPO website at
michigan.gov/shpo.
The CLG program provides a proven structure for communities to
effectively coordinate preservation interests at the local level…
to find the convergence points between preservation and other
community planning activities.
Rooted in best practice approaches, the CLG program gives
credibility to local preservation activities, their relationship to broader
planning processes, and their role in sustaining vibrant, culturally rich
communities. The program also promotes preservation activities
consistent with national and state legislation and standards, which
encourage responsible decision-making for the treatment of
important historic resources in the community. In Michigan, this
includes local designation activities and historic district commission
(HDC) practices founded in the legal authority of Michigan’s Local
Historic Districts Act (Public Act 169 of 1970, as amended [PA
169]), and the principles established in the “Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.”
The CLG program also recognizes the role of local stakeholders in the
success of preservation activities. Participation in the CLG program signals
that a community is committed to empowering local stakeholders who wish
to protect, celebrate, and invest in historic resources and working with
them to proactively engage opportunities to sustain the places that
contribute to the community’s sense of place and cultural identity.

PRIORITY SUPPORT AND PROGRAMMING FROM SHPO
The CLG program provides a framework for a strong partnership with the Michigan
SHPO, which provides technical assistance and funding support for preservation
activities in CLG communities across the state.
While SHPO assists all communities, CLGs receive dedicated and prioritized assistance from
SHPO’s CLG Coordinator, who works closely with CLGs as they plan for, build, and engage
local preservation programs. In addition to providing ongoing technical support, SHPO’s CLG
Coordinator regularly visits communities to have on-the-ground discussions about local
preservation strategies; provides feedback on particular issues a community may be facing;
and develops special initiatives to help communities move their preservation programs
forward (see next page for an example).
The CLG Coordinator also works with other SHPO staff to coordinate activities that can help
CLGs meet their preservation goals. Such assistance includes but is not limited to:
Survey Planning: Identifying and documenting places that are important
to the history of the community are the foundation for many preservation
activities; however, the process of planning a survey to identify such sites
can often seem intimidating. SHPO’s Survey Coordinator works closely
with CLGs on best practice approaches to surveys, with the goal of
identifying strategies that are both achievable and meaningful. CLGs may
request a visit from the Survey Coordinator to discuss project goals,
areas of interest, and potential approaches to survey in consideration of
the community’s capacity and resources.
Building Consultations: Communities sometimes struggle with
underutilized downtown buildings, vacant industrial complexes, and other
such “problem” properties. CLGs may request an on-site meeting with
one of SHPO’s historical architects to get feedback on such a property
with the goal of moving discussion forward with local stakeholders. The
architect will complete a quick assessment of the property and discuss
conditions, ideas for redevelopment, and potential problems. They will
also provide a brief post-site visit report and give advice about applying
for a CLG grant for a feasibility study or other investigation.
Archaeological Advice: Communities may hear rumors of a potential
archaeological site or be concerned about a potential threat facing a
known site and be unsure of how best to proceed. CLGs may request a
visit from a SHPO archaeologist to discuss how to determine validity and
the steps needed to locally designate a site to protect it. SHPO
archaeologists can also provide advice on public interpretation of
prehistory and archaeological heritage through exhibits, signage, and
events. They can also help find tribal partners and other experts to get
projects done appropriately.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE HIGHLIGHT: COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS
Communities often have several EAST MICHIGAN AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT, SALINE
preservation planning projects that they
would like to complete but lack the
resources and/or capacity to carry out such
projects on their own. This includes access
to professional preservation assistance. In
recognition of this gap and the value of on-
the-ground programs that enable
communities to meet their preservation
goals, SHPO has developed the
Community Partnership Program.
Available only to Michigan’s CLGs and
distinct from grant funding opportunities, the
program allows a community to leverage the
knowledge and experience of SHPO to
complete a local project. Through a yearly
selection process, CLGs can apply to have a
project in one of three areas—identification
(survey), designation (National Register of
Historic Places [NRHP]), or protection
(design guidelines)—completed directly by
SHPO staff in partnership with the local
community.
Through the program, SHPO staff administers and actively completes the project on behalf of the
CLG, conducting historic resource survey, preparing National Register documentation, or developing
design guidelines. CLGs commit to meeting minimum participation requirements, through which the
CLG gets first-hand experience in best practice approaches and engages in HDC training and
community discussions. At the end of the process, the CLG gets a tangible product from SHPO (i.e.,
survey report, National Register nomination, or design guidelines) and is better equipped to engage
preservation activities at the local level, carry out future projects on its own, and/or facilitate
consultant-driven projects.
As a technical assistance and educational initiative, the program’s purpose is to build the capacity of
CLGs in a meaningful way and provide them with tools to make informed decisions about their historic
resources, supporting the goal of the CLG program to develop, support, and enrich local preservation

GRAND TRUNK WESTERN RAILROAD, MOUNT CLEMENS STATION
HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND GRANTS
NPS and SHPO support local activities, including preservation Since the start of Michigan’s CLG
planning, education, and rehabilitation projects, through program, SHPO has provided more
annual grant funding exclusive to CLGs. than 150 Historic Preservation Fund
grants totaling more than $3 million
One of the greatest benefits of becoming a CLG is that to CLGs across the state for
participating communities in good standing are eligible to apply for preservation planning, education,
grant funding set aside exclusively for CLGs. Every year, SHPO and rehabilitation projects.
provides at least 10% of its annual funding received from the
National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) directly
to CLGs through grants for local preservation projects. Since these
are pass-through grants, non-profits (e.g., historical societies,
heritage sites, etc.) in a CLG community can also apply for the
grants in partnership with the local government.
Grant funds have been used across Michigan to jumpstart or
supplement local preservation activities and often serve as a
catalyst for additional investment. HPF grants are provided for two
categories of projects:
Preservation planning, documentation, and education FORD PIQUETTE AVENUE PLANT, DETROIT
projects, including but not limited to historic resource surveys,
National Register of Historic Places nominations, preservation
plans, design guidelines, educational workshops, heritage
tourism materials, and training; and
Rehabilitation projects, including but not limited to the
development of plans and specifications, condition
assessments, and planning studies; and actual rehabilitation
(i.e., physical site-specific work) of historic properties.
Additional information on CLG grant funding and eligible project
activities is provided in Section 6 and on the Michigan SHPO
website at michigan.gov/CLGgrants.

TRAINING AND EDUCATION
CLGs have special access to educational and technical materials as well as a variety of training
and outreach opportunities.
When a local government joins the CLG program, SHPO’s CLG Coordinator provides the community
with an in-person orientation to local preservation as well as a “toolkit” of technical guidance and
materials to help guide ongoing preservation activities.
Established CLGs have access to a host of training materials and can participate in workshops, regional
roundtables, webinars, and other community outreach initiatives designed for CLG staff, elected
officials, and HDC members. CLGs can also request one-on-one discussions with SHPO’s CLG
Coordinator to discuss local preservation strategies, to request feedback on particular issues the
community may be facing, or to provide the HDC and its staff with training on issues related to design
review and administration of local historic districts.
In addition, SHPO may elect to set aside a portion of its HPF funds to offer scholarships for CLG staff
and commissioners to attend workshops and conferences presented by the National Alliance of
Preservation Commissions (NAPC) or Michigan Historic Preservation Network (MHPN) or to
collaborate with a CLG to host a workshop on a particular topic.

PARTICIPATION IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER PROGRAM
Like all communities, CLGs can nominate properties to the National Register of Historic Places, which is the
nation’s official list of buildings, structures, sites, objects, and districts deemed worthy of preservation for their
historical, cultural, or architectural significance. Listing of a property in the National Register provides an
opportunity for the community to tell the story of its historic places and allows for certain project activities to be
considered for incentives like grants and federal tax credits, which foster investment in our communities.
CLGs also play a special role in the National Register process. Like the CLG program, the National Register is a
program of the National Park Service but administered at the state level by SHPO. When a property within a
CLG’s jurisdiction is nominated to the National Register, SHPO provides the CLG with the opportunity to review
and comment on the eligibility of the property prior to SHPO making a recommendation for listing to the State
Historic Preservation Review Board and National Park Service. Additional information on a CLG’s role in the
National Register process is provided in Section 3.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
CLGs also have access to a variety of other benefits:
• Other Grant Funding: In addition to the CLG subgrant program, CLGs may receive special consideration
for other funding programs in which SHPO participates. For example, certain funds may be set aside
specifically for CLGs or CLGs may receive additional points as part of the scoring criteria for a funding
opportunity. Notice of such opportunities will be distributed to CLGs by SHPO’s CLG program coordinator
as they become available.
• NPS Funding Opportunities: The National Park Service offers a variety of grant programs, some of which
are limited to governmental partners, including Certified Local Governments. For information on the
availability of NPS grants, visit nps.gov/preservation-grants.
• Section 106 Consulting Party: Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, federal
agencies are required to consider the effects of their projects on historic properties. As part of this process,
agencies must consult with interested stakeholders, including CLGs, to gather information on historic
properties and potential project effects.
• Participation in Statewide Preservation Planning: CLGs are encouraged to participate in SHPO’s
preservation planning activities, including development of SHPO’s statewide historic preservation plan,
which is intended to encourage appreciation of the state’s cultural resources; address the challenges facing
preservation in Michigan; and, based on stakeholder feedback, establish priorities for preservation actions
across the state.
• Streamlined Process for Preserve America Status: Preserve America is a federal initiative that
encourages and supports community efforts to preserve and enjoy our cultural and natural heritage.
Because CLGs have already demonstrated their commitment to historic preservation by putting in place
tools to support their activities, CLGs that want to pursue Preserve America Community designation can
take advantage of a streamlined application process. For more information on the program, visit
achp.gov/preserve-america.

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: September 8, 2020 Title: Edgewater Street Engineering Study
Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary:
Staff is seeking authorization to hire Ramboll to complete an engineering study related to
Edgewater Street. The study would be used to determine the best options moving forward as it
relates to addressing the persistent flooding that has plagued that area as a result of the high
water levels within the Great Lakes.
Detailed Summary:
Staff solicited proposals from three firms to complete the work. Two responded with proposals and
after review of the proposals staff is recommending the Ramboll proposal based on their previous
work on shoreline restoration projects in the area and familiarity with the specific needs of this site.
The Engineering study was not included in the proposed 20-21 budget and will need to be added via
a future reforecast to the Local Streets Fund (203). Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF) revenue
projections have increased since the original drafting of the 20-21 budget and this expense is
expected to be offset by increased revenue.
Amount Requested: Not To Exceed $15,300 Amount Budgeted: $0
Fund(s) or Account(s): 203 Fund(s) or Account(s): 203
Recommended Motion:
Authorize staff to hire Ramboll to complete an engineering study related to the persistent flooding

Commission Meeting Date: September 8, 2020 Title: Jefferson & Strong Change Order #001
Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary:
Staff is seeking authorization to approve Change Order #001 to the sewer project work on
Jefferson and Strong Streets.
Detailed Summary:
Staff requested pricing from the Contractor to complete additional work on the project. The additional
work included milling and resurfacing an additional block of 3rd Street between Merrill and Mason.
The resurfacing of this additional block allowed for a continuous new pavement surface on 3rd/Strong
from Muskegon Avenue to Peck. Without this addition one block of 3rd Street would have remained
with old pavement upon completion of the project. The original project budgets carried a 6%
contingency. This addition will utilize $49,192.20 of the original contingency ($71,908.31). The
project is nearing completion with only minor changes anticipated that are not anticipated to exceed
the remaining budgeted contingency. As such there will be no adjustment required in the
reforecasting related to this change order.
Staff and the Project Engineer (Prein & Newhof) have reviewed the change order and are supportive.
Amount Requested: $0 Amount Budgeted: $0
Fund(s) or Account(s): 590/591-91856 Fund(s) or Account(s): 590/591-91856

Gary and Patrick,
Please see attached Bulletin 3. This is regarding some storm sewer revisions to get through the existing water main at
Strong Street and lowering of the water main on Strong for installation of storm sewer. Please provide pricing for the
water main work. This needs to get completed so that the storm can be finished. The City does have a hydrant and
valve available. If other fittings are needed due to timing please contact Dave Baker and Wyatt to see what they have
available.
The storm sewer changes do not require pricing, the structure is already onsite because it was not used at a different
location. Please proceed with the storm sewer revisions. Gene onsite will provide location and inverts. Please let me
know if you have any other questions regarding this work.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: September 8, 2020 Title: DPW Laborer Position
Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary:
Staff is seeking authorization to create three new full-time positions within the Department of Public
Works under the Laborer classification and to begin the process to fill those positions.
Detailed Summary:
DPW has consistently experienced difficulty in filling the current full time skilled positions as they
contain barriers to employment that do not offer a path for an entry level applicant to hire in and learn
the field. Most all of our positions require a CDL, or state license upon hiring that can limit our pool
of available applicants and disqualify an otherwise good candidate from being eligible.
To try and address that issue staff has recently updated the Laborer position description which
eliminates many of the more difficult prerequisites to be considered eligible for employment.
Applicants will have the opportunity to learn the DPW field, receive training, and become
credentialed while employed and eventually become eligible candidates for our harder to fill
vacancies as they become available. Laborers would be full time limited term employees working
within our current SEIU Unit 2 Contract. The position and pay scale already exists within the union
contract though it has not been utilized for some time.
Staff is proposing to hire three (3) Laborers for DPW. Two (2) would have their home account within
the water fund (590) and one would have their home account within the Major Streets Fund (202).
The new positions would be largely funded through the recently added Lead Service Line fee that
was approved for water bills. The fee anticipates revenue of approximately $750K per year to be
used towards replacement of lead service lines within the city, with the goal to replace 200-300 per
year. By adding the additional staff we anticipate being able to complete a larger number of lead
service line replacements with in house staff as opposed to contracting for the work, while also
creating a succession plan for our skilled positions at DPW.
Amount Requested: Amount Budgeted: $0
Approximately $110,000 (20-21) To be added at future reforecast and will be
$17.67/Hour x 2,080 Hours x 1.35 (Markup) x offset by reduction in 591 Capital line item for
3 EA x 0.75 (Partial Year) = $111,639.06 “Water Service Replacement Unassigned”
(Will be ~$150,000 in a full FY)
Fund(s) or Account(s): 591-60559 & 202- Fund(s) or Account(s): 591-60559 & 202-

Recommended Motion:
Authorize staff to create three (3) full time limited term Laborer positions within the Department of
Public Works and begin the process of filling the positions.

Citizen Participation Plan
The City of Muskegon fully understands that there is a strong correlation between a successful

assessment process. As a representative of the community the citizens offer first-hand
knowledge of the concerns and needs of the community and their neighborhood that staff may
not be aware of or not realize the importance of. City staff are made aware of issues, suggestions
and important responses to potential city plans, activities and projects.
The City of Muskegon understands the importance of having citizen involvement during and

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date:9-8-2020 Title: Business Improvement District public
hearing
Submitted By: Dave Alexander Department: Economic Development
Brief Summary: A public hearing has been scheduled to receive comment on a proposed three-
year renewal of the Downtown Muskegon Business Improvement District special assessments
through a resolution establishing the district, rates and budget for 2021-2023.
Detailed Summary: The Muskegon City Commission has approved the Downtown Muskegon
Business Improvement District three times since 2016 to enhance the public services in the central
business district. The current three-year BID special assessment expires Dec. 31, 2020. The BID
Board recommends a three-year renewal of the BID with a reduced district footprint, the same
special assessment rates providing a reduced budget that would focus work on summer
landscaping and winter sidewalk snow removal. The proposed BID would generate approximately
$113,000 in special assessment revenues each year to be collected on the winter tax bills. Class A
properties, the commercial properties involved in downtown activities and business, would be
assessed $0.08 per square foot of land with a cap of $4,000. Class B properties, those zoned for
industry and manufacturing, would be assessed $0.04 per square foot of land with a cap of $2,000.
Staff will track the number of objections and the percentage of the assessment for the objecting
properties. After hearing public comment, the attached resolution would establish the district, rate,
budget and appoint two commissioners to the Board of Assessors. The special assessment roll
also is attached and would be subject to a second public hearing before the Muskegon City
Commission in October if the district is created.
Amount Requested: None Amount Budgeted: None
Fund(s) or Account(s): Fund(s) or Account(s):
Recommended Motion: To close the public hearing and approve the resolution to create a
Downtown Muskegon Business Improvement District, special assessment rate and budget for
2021, 2022 and 2023, additionally naming two commissioners to the Board of Assessors.

City of Muskegon
County of Muskegon, Michigan
Resolution At First Hearing Creating Special Assessment District For Downtown
Muskegon Business Improvement District (BID) Location and Description of Properties
to be assessed:
See Exhibit A attached to this resolution
RECITALS:
1. By resolution of the City Commission, a hearing has been held on September 8, 2020, at
5:30 p.m. at the City Commission Chambers. Notice was given by mail and publication
as required by law.
2. That estimates of costs of the project, a feasibility report and valuation and benefit
information are on file with the City and have been reviewed for this hearing.
3. At the hearing held on September 8, 2020, there were ______________ objections by
the owners of the property in the city registered at the hearing either in writing received
before or at the hearing or by owners or agents present at the hearing, and the
Commission has considered the advisability of proceeding with the project.
FINDINGS:
1. The City Commission has examined the estimates of cost, including all assessable
expenses, and determines them to be reasonable.
2. The City Commission has considered the value of the property to be assessed and the
value of the benefit to be received by each property to be assessed in the district for
downtown improvements and services. The City Commission determines that the
assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the value of the property to be
assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the improvement
thereby constitutes a benefit and remove a burden from the property associated with the
services and improvements to the property.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The City Commission hereby declares a special assessment district to include all of the
property included in Exhibit A.
2. The City Commission determines to proceed with the special assessment.
3. The City Commission hereby appoints a Board of Assessors consisting of City
Commissioners_____________________ and _____________________________ and
the city Assessor who are hereby directed to prepare an assessment roll. Assessments
shall be made upon a benefit basis.
4. It is hereby determined that, based on the estimates of cost for services and
improvements downtown, the City will levy a special assessment in the said district on
“Class A” Properties, as defined in the BID Bylaws, for an annual assessment of $0.08/sf
with no assessment to exceed $4,000 and “Class B” Properties, as defined in the BID
Bylaws, for an annual assessment of $0.04/sf with no assessment to exceed $2,000
commencing with the Winter 2020 tax bill.
5. Upon Submission of the special assessment roll, the City staff is hereby directed to
notify all owners and persons interested in properties to be assessed of the hearing at
which the City Commission will consider confirmation of the special assessment roll.
This resolution adopted.
