Update on Community Survey Results
City Manager, Frank Peterson, shared and discussed the results from a Community
Survey that was available for city residents to provide input and feedback on a variety of
issues.
Special Event Fee Waiver Revisions
The Department of Public works is seeking input on amendments to the current Special
Event Fee Waiver Form to streamline the process for approval of fee waivers starting
with events in 2022.
Questions and scoring criteria were added to the existing fee waiver form that event
coordinators complete. Staff would verify the answers to these questions and based on
the number of points awarded and the amount of the waiver requests fees could be
waived at the staff level. Fee waiver requests over $2,500 would go before the
Commission.
Staff is seeking feedback on the concept of continuing fee waivers beyond 2021 and the
desire to establish a procedure for a majority of these requests to be handled at the staff
level.
Discussion took place regarding special event fee waivers. This will be coming back to
commission for formal approval at some point in the future.
Pere Marquette Park – Investment
Staff is presenting a plan for investment in Pere Marquette Park and has outlined
several potential improvements to pursue at Pere Marquette Park as previously
discussed at the April 27th Commission Meeting. The total cost of the preliminary
identified options falls approximately in alignment with the target amount of $100,000
that was established following the discussion in April.
Discussed options include:
Expanded Parking/Pedestrian Walkway – Cost of $20,910.00
Electrical Upgrades – Cost of $57,714.00
Tree Plantings – Cost of $15,000.00
Staff is seeking discussion and direction on the proposed revisions.
Discussion took place regarding the proposed improvements at Pere Marquette Park.
Fire Station Upgrades (Central)

enhancements, and repairs to the Central Fire Station.
In November 2020 the Commission approved $236,230.00 in enhancements and
repairs for Muskegon Fire Central Station. Over the past 8 months change orders and
other upgrades were required in addition to the Dispatch expansion & remodel. Some of
the costs are in fact Dispatch’s responsibilities while others are directly assigned to
Muskegon Fire Department. A summary sheet with the scope, costs, updates and basic
notes to support the upgrades and repairs to complete the dual fire station. At this time
the Staff is requesting an additional $165,468.00 in funding. (Total combined $236,230
and $165,468 is $401,698). Some of the repairs have already occurred due to Covid 19,

2021-64 CONSENT AGENDA:
A. Approval of Minutes City Clerk
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the minutes of the June 22, 2021 Regular
Meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the minutes
D. Olympia Ice Resurfacer Mercy Health Arena
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Request to purchase a new replacement Olympia ice
resurfacer (Zamboni). Our current ice resurfacer is 22 years old. We are looking
toward the future, and a new resurfacer now will give us at least another 25
years of service. This is a piece of equipment that is absolutely essential for arena
competitions and ice maintenance. During a typical 9-month season, it is used
almost all day, 7 days per week. The new 2022 model is more fuel efficient, is
much “smarter” with how it maintains the ice, and is also fully compatible with
our current ice laser cutting system. The build time is about 10 months, so we
need to order it soon to be ready for the 2022-2023 season.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $102,175 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $125,000
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 254
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize the purchase of a new Olympia ice
resurfacer in the amount of $102,175.
F. CDBG/HOME Annual Action Plan Budget Community and
Neighborhood Services
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the 2021 Annual Action Plan Budget
representing the funding allocations from Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME
Investment Partnership Act (HOME) dollars. Upon review with the Citizen District
Council and Public Comment submissions, the CNS Department has compiled a
budget of proposed program activities to be funded in the coming year – July
2021 through June 30, 2022. The Budget/Program Activity Services funded with
CDBG and HOME allocation for 2021 Annual Action Plan are provided.
AMOUNT BUDGETED: CDBG - $988,508; HOME - $336,456
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 472/473
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the 2021 Annual Action Plan Budget
for CDBG and HOME HUD allocations.
G. Liquid Sodium Hypochlorite Public Works – Filtration
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is requesting authorization to accept the
temporary price increase of liquid sodium hypochlorite from Alexander
Page 2 of 9
Chemical.
The Water Filtration Plant uses sodium hypochlorite in the production of
drinking water. The application of sodium hypochlorite is one of several
crucial processes used to inactivate or remove pathogens from the water.
Since 1996, the Water Filtration Plant has solicited competitive bids for water
treatment chemicals jointly with the cities of Grand Haven, Grand Rapids,
Holland, Muskegon Heights, and Wyoming.
Recently, major disruptions have occurred in the liquid sodium hypochlorite
supply chain. Demand for precursor materials has well exceeded supply. Our
supplier of liquid sodium hypochlorite, Alexander Chemical, has been able to
obtain a limited supply of these materials in order to keep us supplied with
the liquid sodium hypochlorite we require. However, it has come at a
premium cost, with material prices increasing as much as 210%. This is an
industry-wide problem and we would have experienced similar challenges
with any of the other companies that provided quotes for the work.
At the April 13, 2021 meeting, the Commission approved a bid from
Alexander Chemical at $156.67 per ton ($0.78 per gallon). Alexander
Chemical is requesting a temporary price increase until the market stabilizes
and pricing comes back in line. Alexander requests an increase to $205.58
per ton ($1.03 per gallon) to return to a break-even state after recently losing
money on every order. Grand Rapids holds the master agreement for the
purchasing cooperative and has already approved this change order.
The Water Filtration Plant has used an average of 456 tons of liquid sodium
hypochlorite the previous two fiscal years. The temporary increase could cost
an additional $22,302.96 annually based on average use. Liquid sodium
hypochlorite is included in the budget, but the actual amount spent will
depend on water demand and source water quality. The additional amount
requested will be addressed in a budget reforecast if necessary.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $93,744.48 (Estimate) AMOUNT BUDGETED: $72,864.00
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 591-60558-5219
STAFF RECOMMENDAITON: Authorize staff to purchase liquid hypochlorite
from Alexander Chemical at a temporary increased price of $1.03 per gallon.
H. Fire Station Upgrades (Central) Public Safety
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of the projected budget for
the upgrades, modifications, enhancements, and repairs to the Central Fire
Station. In November 2020, the Commission approved $236,230.00 in
enhancements and repairs for Muskegon Fire Central Station. Over the past 8
months change orders and other upgrades were required in addition to the
Dispatch expansion and remodel. Some of the costs are in fact Dispatch’s
Page 3 of 9
responsibilities while others are directly assigned to Muskegon Fire Department.
The Summary sheet with the scope, costs, updates and basic notes to support
the upgrades and repairs to complete the dual use fire station is provided. At
this time staff is requesting and additional $165,468.00 in funding.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $165,468.00
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 101-92114-5750
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that approval of the
projected budget for the upgrades to the Fire Central Station.
I. Peck Street Change Order #003 & #004 Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of Change Orders #003 and
#004 to the Peck Street Construction Project (590/591-92010) with Kamminga &
Roodvoets.
Change Order #003 represents the additional work that will be completed on
the project to facilitate the Muskegon Public Schools projects at their High
School and Middle School site. This was previously discussed at the June 22, 2021
Commission Meeting in the form of a cost sharing agreement for these items. As
discussed at that time, the plan for this work is that MPS will reimburse the City
upon completion.
Change Order #004 represents several other minor adjustments needed on the
project.
Both are brought for consideration as this project in total has exceeded the staff
approval thresholds for Change Orders.
The remaining Contingency noted below is a snapshot prior to approval of these
change orders. If approved that number will drop to $89,769.24 which accounts
for the $508,762.31 in added expenses and the estimated $468,980.36 in
reimbursement from MPS. The end result being that the project still carries a
positive contingency balance.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $508,762.31 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $192,686.16
(Remaining Contingency)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to approve Change orders #003
and #004 to Project 92010 in the amount of $508,762.31 for the additional work.
K. Special Event Fee Waiver – Muskegon Polish Festival Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Muskegon Polish Festival is seeking a Special Event Fee
Waiver for their annual festival in Hackley Park on September 3 and 4, 2021.

2021 / 2022 City of Muskegon Roofing Bids Recommendation
Attn: To Whom It May Concern
Thank you again for allowing The Garland Company the opportunity to assist the City of
Muskegon with the 2021 / 2022 Roofing Projects.
It has been our goal in working with the City of Muskegon to provide the best roofing solution
that will keep the buildings leak free for many years to come. While this was the main goal, we
also collaborated with Chart House Energy in terms of their Solar design, when ready, to help
ensure that the City will not have to worry about their roofing needs well into the future.
Bids were received on the afternoon of July 13, 2021. Four contractors attended the advertised
Prebid, and two contractors submitted bids for both facilities. We have compiled all of the
bidding information into a bid tabulation form and have reviewed it, in order to provide the City
of Muskegon with what we believe is the best solution option moving forward to achieve all of
the goals of both buildings as stated they had at the beginning of this process.
Bids were received on the following buildings:
- DPW – Section #2A & #2B
- Water Filtration Plant – Section #1, #2, #13, & #14
After review, it is in our professional opinion that the City move forward with awarding the
contract at the next City Council Meeting to Ostrander Roofing, as they were the lowest
qualified bidder for both projects. As such, they are also doing work at the Water Filtration Plant
this fall and next spring.
Below is the bid breakdown with Hoekstra Roofing and Vandoorn Roofing’s bids:
- DPW: Section #2A Section #2A & #2B
Ostrander Roofing $115,630 $166,162
Van Doorn Roofing $154,103 $253,106
- WFP: Section #13/#14 Section #1, #2, #13, & #14
Ostrander Roofing $86,346 $117,356
Van Doorn Roofing $147,178 $186,725
In regards to DPW, only completely Section #2A would ensure that the project come in under
budget, but then in 2022 both Section #2B and #2C would have to be completed. Due to past
leaks on Section #2, the best overall solution would be to complete Section #2A and #2B
together, but due to budget constraints, DPW could get away with only doing Section #2A in
2021 and then completing the remaining area of the section in the summer of 2022.
As far as WFP is concerned, it would be our recommendation that all sections be completed as
the project came in significantly under budget.
Please feel free to ask us any questions that you may have when reviewing not only the bid
tabulation form, but also during review of this recommendation.
Sincerely,
TJ Morris

Submitted By: LeighAnn Mikesell Department: City Manager
Brief Summary: Staff is requesting approval to maintain ownership of the homes at 1194 Pine
Street and develop lease agreements with new Muskegon Public School teachers seeking rental
housing in the fall of 2021.
Detailed Summary: The city is in the midst of a renovation project on two houses at 1194 Pine
Street which include one building with two three-bedroom units and one building with a single two
bedroom unit. Muskegon Public Schools has as many as 50 new teachers arriving this fall
including 4 Spanish immersion teachers arriving from Spain. The expectation is that many of the
new teachers will be looking for good rental options.
Staff prefer these new teachers live in the community where they are teaching. The city benefits
by bringing young professionals into a core neighborhood, and the school district benefits by
employing staff that understand the community where their students live.
The lead paint program could also use one or more of the units to house families while lead is
abated in their homes. These families are currently placed in hotel rooms for weeks at a time with
no access to a kitchen, laundry facilities, or places for their children to play.
Staff expects to earn $3,750 in monthly rent from the three units. Staff intends to find a buyer for
the property that will continue the established leases once we have proven the rental units are
profitable.

Submitted By: Mike Franzak Department: Planning
Brief Summary: Request for an amendment to the Harbour Towne Planned Unit Development to
allow for a storage container to be placed at 3505 Marina View Point (Dockers).
Detailed Summary: A motion to recommend denial of the request was passed by the Planning
Commission by a 5-2 vote at their June meeting. The City Commission then requested that the case
go back to the Planning Commission after the owner works closer with the Harbour Towne
Association. At the July 15 meeting, Barb Vukits, President of Harbour Towne Condominium
Association, said that Harbour Towne wants Dockers to be successful, but they also want the area to
be maintained and look nice, not only for residents of Harbour Towne, but for all of Muskegon. They
would also appreciate that unused equipment be stored appropriately and not left out in and around
the restaurant. And they ask that the structure that gets put there be architecturally consistent, not
necessarily match Harbour Towne Condos, but something that would blend in to the surrounding
architecture.
The Planning Commission unanimously (8-0, 1 absent) voted to send the issue back to the City
Commission with the original recommendation (against the proposal).

Hearing, Case 2021-18: Request for an amendment to the Harbour Towne Planned Unit Development to allow for
a storage container to be placed at 3505 Marina View Point (Dockers).
SUMMARY
1. The property is part of the Harbour Towne Planned Unit Development (PUD).
2. A storage building was not part of the original PUD, so it requires an amendment to the PUD.
3. The container is currently located on site and was being used temporarily during construction. The
applicant is now in need for permanent storage for the restaurant facility. The applicant is proposing to
paint the container and add murals to it as well.
4. The container is larger than 200 sf (320 sf), so the Inspections Department would require a building permit
for it to become a permanent structure.
5. Notice was sent to applicants within 300 feet of the property. At the time of this writing, staff had received
one comment from Chris and Beth Cok, 1466 W Harbour Towne Cir who are opposed to a container and
would prefer similar construction materials as used in the restaurant building.
6. Please see the enclosed site plan and rendering.

are currently operating out of a portion of the building for social support and community benefit purposes
related to the church. They are proposing to use the vacant land on site to develop two housing units for
inpatient recovery support services.
4. A small 535 sf addition is proposed to the existing building.

also include the addition of a garage. The Muskegon County Drain Commissioner would have to approve
the stormwater plan for these additions.
6. Both uses would require a rezoning to Medical Care. Any use that involves lodging of people requires a
special use permit.
7. Notice was sent to applicants within 300 feet of the property. At the time of this writing, staff had received
several emails (enclosed) in support of the project, however, none of them appear to be residents of the
neighborhood.

Dear Planning Commission:
I am writing in support of Fresh Coast Alliance and the request to rezone the property at 1128
Roberts St. for development of their proposed project. The Muskegon Parole and Muskegon
Probation Offices have had a professional relationship with Fresh Coast Alliance and their
predecessor since 2013. Representatives from Fresh Coast Alliance have always displayed
professionalism and a heart to serve our population of returning citizens with many valuable
services.
Fresh Coast Alliance started the CLEAR program in Muskegon in 2016 and this serves as a
mentoring program for residents who have a felony conviction or have been incarcerated. This
group has also partnered with local law enforcement to develop a relationship outside of the
structure of criminal justice. None of our returning citizens have been forced to attend the
CLEAR group, yet the attendance has been outstanding. This is credited to Fresh Coast Alliance
and the quality of their staff and program.
Fresh Coast Alliance is community based and serves the entire Muskegon community, working
with anyone in need of services. Our years of experience working with Fresh Coast Alliance has
proven they show great appreciation for the residents of Muskegon and put the interests of the
citizens above their own.
Not only are they a tremendous organization, but their proposal for this property will serve a
need within the community for programming, services, and treatment. There is a gap in services
for our population of returning citizens who are often referred out of the area to receive
specialized programming in Grand Rapids, Holland, and Kalamazoo. This can have a negative
impact on outcomes when local citizens are sent to another community to receive programming
because they are often away from their family and support systems. Having resource for citizens
to receive these services locally will positively benefit both individual citizens and the entire
community.

Muskegon is fortunate to have such a superb organization like Fresh Coast Alliance within the
community with a heart to serve the citizens. I am in full support for their proposal for 1128
Roberts St. and am certain this proposal will have a positive impact for everyone who walks
through the doors of their new facility.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you should need any further information about my support for
Fresh Coast Alliance and their proposal for 1128 Roberts St. I can be reached on my cell phone
at (616) 916-3916 or TimmersJ@michigan.gov.

Dear Muskegon Planning Commission Members,
On July 15, you have a hearing regarding a rezoning request from Fresh Coast Alliance. I wish to speak to this all-
important request.
Fresh Coast Alliance provides a holistic approach to help returning citizens from incarceration. Their programs are
focused on providing essential skills and services through a very caring, supportive approach to each individual.
I have been a school administrator in a district in Muskegon County for many years: it is crucial that we support,
encourage and care for those around us.
Fresh Coast Alliance is a very well run organization, doing the right things for those in need. This is a wonderful
opportunity.
Please, also do the right thing to provide this to the community.
Most Sincerely,
Pamela Bricker
I am writing to lend my support to Fresh Coast Alliance in their efforts to rezone property. I understand
consideration for said rezoning was to be on the agenda of the July 15th Public Hearing of the Muskegon Planning
Commission.
Fresh Coast Alliance has proven to be a valuable asset to the Muskegon community. The proposed expansion
would provide needed services which have not been available in the area for some time - long term substance use
treatment. As a Mental Health and Substance Abuse Therapist, I appreciate all the help we can ascertain to stem
the tide of the current trends in alcohol and drug use.
Please grant Fresh Coast Alliance the rezoning required in order to strengthen our community. Thank you.

Good afternoon,
Please accept this letter of support for what Fresh Coast Alliance is doing bringing long term care. Here at Kolbe
Detox, which is also new we look forward to being able to send referrals for long term residential after medically
safe detox. Our partnership with Fresh Coast means so much!!
Everyone at Fresh Coast exemplifies professionalism and top-notch care for those transitioning and needing
assistance.

Good Morning Planning Commission,
Fresh Coast Alliance is an amazing program that has been a benefit and blessing to the Muskegon Community. For
the last 5 years, they have had a significant positive impact on the Re-entry and Recovery Communities in the area.
I work in the area of Substance Use and Re-entry every day, and am in long-term recovery myself. I would not be
here it if were not for Fresh Coast Alliance and the work that they do.
I now work as a Recovery Coach in Muskegon County at Hackley Community Care and am also a volunteer for
Fresh Coast Alliance. The Muskegon area continues to have a void when it comes to long-term residential
treatment for Men and Women. Having this facility will allow Muskegon Residents to have a localized place to seek
the treatment that they need. I am excited for the future and fully support Fresh Coast Alliance in their efforts
toward making the Muskegon area a safer place!!! Thanks so much for your time and consideration.
