natural, cultural, and/or heritage stewardship into their daily operations. This
year, the Pure Award went to Lakeshore Art Festival (LAF), a collaboration of
public and private partners including the city of Muskegon.
LAF is centered around positive social, economic and environmental impacts

great place to live, work and play. This collaboration was a conscious effort to
help revitalize downtown Muskegon through investment, environmental
stewardship, supporting the arts and tourism.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the minutes for the November 23, 2021
Regular Meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the minutes.
B. Fireworks Display Permit for City of Muskegon City Clerk
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is requesting permission to sign an agreement with
Pyrotecnico Fireworks and spend up to $60,000 for expenses related to a
fireworks show in downtown Muskegon. If granted, Pyrotecnico Fireworks is
requesting approval of a fireworks display permit for Saturday, July 2, 2022 in
downtown Muskegon. The fire Marshall will inspect the fireworks on the day of
the event.
The proposed location of the fireworks is in the attached map. Both property
owners have been contacted and are willing to let us close off their property
within the yellow circle for the duration of the day and red circle during the
event.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: Up to $60,000 FUND OR ACCOUNT: DPW
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize the clerk to sign the agreement for
fireworks in downtown Muskegon with Pyrotecnico and authorize the
expenditures not to exceed $60,000.
C. Farmers Market Heating & HVAC City Clerk
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Tim Harvey, or builder, sought quotes to replace the
heating and HVAC at the Farmers Market at an amount of $24,420.
Tim was only able to receive on quote. Currently the barn has no air
conditioning and the heat source does not work as well as it should. Replacing
the current system will help us with future plans to revamp the barn as an all year
facility to rent to local vendors including farmers, Kitchen 242 users, and vendors
looking to move downtown. This is not a budgeted item and would come out of
the Farmers Market budget.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: Up to $30,000 FUND OR ACCOUNT: Farmers Market
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize staff to proceed in upgrading the
heating/HVAC at the Farmers market with Jewett Heating and Cooling at a cost
not to exceed $30,000.
E. Extension of Temporary Employment Services Agreement EEO &
Employee Relations
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve a one-year contract extension with
GoodTemps Temporary Staffing Services, Inc. for temporary and seasonal
Page 2 of 13
employment services. The current agreement expires on December 31, 2021.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the agreement with GoodTemps
Temporary Staffing Services, Inc. and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign
the agreement extension.
F. Non-Union Part Time and Limited Term Wage Matrix EEO & Employee
Relations
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The 2022 wage matrix has been updated to reflect the
anticipated part time and limited term positions for next year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the updated wage matrix for the non-
union part time limited term employees for 2022.
G. MDOT Property Purchase Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking formal resolution confirming purchase of
excess property from MDOT for use as a public open space.
The parcel in question is located along the southwest side of 9th Street between
Muskegon Avenue and Webster Avenue. The property is legally owned and
controlled by the State of Michigan (MDOT) as a part of the limited access
highway right-of-way for Shoreline Drive.
City staff has pursued purchase of this parcel from MDOT for consideration as a
skate park site. Recently alternative sites have been identified that are a better
fit for locating a skate park and this site is no longer planned for use in that
fashion. However, the work had been done to acquire the excess property and
staff would like to see that through.
The immediate plans for this site involve retaining the site as a public open
space, with potential consideration for alternative uses if/when the 10-year
reverter clause is released.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $5,000 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 101-70751-5703
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Resolution for purchase of the
excess property from MDOT and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign.
H. National Highway System (NHS) Revisions Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking to have portions of Peck Street, Sanford
Street, and Terrace Street reclassified in terms of their NHS (National Highway
System) and NFC (National Functional Classifications) status.
Staff has been working for several years with the West Michigan Shoreline
Regional Development Commission (WMSRDC), the Michigan Department of
Transportation (MDOT), and the City of Muskegon Heights to have several
segments of street reclassified to better suit their current use.
Page 3 of 13
Historically Sanford, Peck and Terrace have served as state highways, and as
critical routes to key Department of Defense industrial sites in the area
(Continental Motors). This importance led to the streets being classified as NHS
routes which in turn requires them to be constructed with wider lanes and
heavier pavement to accommodate larger and heavier traffic.
As times have changed the need for these roads to be classified as NHS routes
has also changed. The proposal would remove these routes from the NHS
entirely. In addition, the roads will be reduced in classification from their current
standing as principal arterial routes down to a more appropriate level of minor
arterial.
This change does not impact our Act 51 funding, and the roads will remain
eligible for federal aid. The benefit derived from making this change is that the
roads can be designed and reconstructed in such a way that does not require
overly wide lanes that encourage speeding and heavy pavement designs
which increase project costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Support the change in NHS and NFC
designations for Peck, Sanford and Terrace Streets and authorize the City
Manager to sign the letter formally requesting the changes.
I. Project 91851(Spring & Yuba Streets) – Change Orders & Engineering
Services Amendment Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of Final Contract Modifications
#004 and #005 with Jackson-Merkey Contractors and for approval of a Final
Amendment (#004) of the Engineering Services Agreement with ENG, Inc. for
Project 91851 (Spring/Yuba Street).
Contract Modifications #004 and #005 with Jackson-Merkey Contractors detail
all of the changes to specific work items that were required to successfully
complete the project. There were a number of changes necessary due to the
complex nature of the project along with unforeseen underground conditions in
this oldest area of town. The project has required commission approval for
Change Orders starting with Change order #003 which added the work on
Yuba Street and was above the staff approval threshold. If Contract
Modification #004 and #005 are approved the final project contract amount will
be $3,477,719 on an original project amount of $3,075,529 representing a 13%
increase of which over 5% is a result of the additional Local Streets work on Yuba
Street not related to the original project.
Engineering services Amendment #004 includes increased engineering costs
required to provide engineering oversight and support on the project, which
took considerably more time, and effort than originally budgeted. If approved,
the Engineering Cost for this project will be $364,105 which represents
approximately 11% of the Construction Contract value and is in alignment with
industry and expected standards for a project of this scope and scale.
Page 4 of 13
All of the SRF/DWRF project carried a budgeted contingency of 6%. Approval of
these Change orders and the Engineering Services Amendment will not exceed
the budgeted contingency on the project package as a whole as several other
projects completed well below their contingency amounts.
For reference, if approved, the project will have remaining expenses estimated
at $973,111.40 and a remaining budget of $975,607.00, no future reforecasts are
anticipated.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: AMOUNT BUDGETED:
Change Order #004 - $156,367.69 $975,607 Remaining
Change Order #005 - $104,697.69 (202/203/590/591-91851)
ESA #004 - $63,700.00
FUND OR ACCOUNT: Various-91851-5346
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to approve Change Orders #004
and #005 with Jackson-Merkey Contractors , and authorize staff to approve
Engineering Services Amendment #004 with ENG, Inc. for the work on Spring and
Yuba Streets.
J. Edgewater Resources Engineering Services Agreement Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of two (2) Engineering Services
Agreements with Edgewater Resources related to the development of public
infrastructure at Adelaide Pointe.
Both of these Engineering Services Agreements cover items for development
that are partially funded by the City and partially funded by the Developer. As
such, the standard purchasing policy was not used for procurement. The
proposal was requested from the developers engineer as they are the best
suited to complete this joint investment portion of the project based on their
prior work at the site. The remaining public infrastructure items (streets, water,
sewer, etc…) will be recommended for Commission Approval via a Request for
Proposals process at a later date.
• The work contained within the first ESA encompasses the permitting
required for the work in the East Basin (Formerly the Hartshorn Marina Small
Boat Basin). The project work will require completion of a Joint Permit
Application to MDEGLE with concurrence and review from the USACE and
USCG.
• The work contained within the second ESA encompasses the design,
bidding and construction engineering for the lift well and launch ramp
elements of the east basin. As noted above, these are considered public
infrastructure improvements per the Development Agreement and
Brownfield Plan.
Page 5 of 13
In conjunction with the work outlined in these two ESA documents Edgewater
Resources will also be completing permitting and engineering for the non-public
portions of the work at developer’s expense within the east basin which includes
additional dredging, construction of shopper docks, and other items.
Staff is recommending that these ESA’s be approved conditional to the sale for
the bonds to finance the public infrastructure on the site.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: AMOUNT BUDGETED:
Permitting ESA = $15,000 Estimated $10M Bond Revenue for Public
Lift Well & Ramp ESA = $85,000 Infrastructure at a TBD Future Date
FUND OR ACCOUNT: TBD Brownfield Fund
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to execute the Engineering
Services Agreements from Edgewater Resources related to the work in the East
Basin, contingent upon successful sale and closure of the bonds for the public
infrastructure at this site.
K. Project 92002 Change Order #003 - Peck Street from Merrill to Apple Public
Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of Final Contract Modifications
#003 with McCormick Sand for their work on the northern portion of the Peck
Street project.
Contract Modifications #003 represents the final adjustment of quantities and
cost for the project to bring it to final completion. The project as a whole will
finish at $874,335.87 which represents an increase of $31,197.05 over the As-Bid
amount ($843,138.82) representing an increase of 3.7%
The largest increase was a result of requiring additional length of water line to
replace the water services along the project (>$24K). Under the new state
guidelines we must replace the service line to a point within the house and
inconvenience the property owner a minimum number of times.
The project will finish very near the programmed budget once final engineering
and testing costs are accounted. A slight adjustment via a future reforecast is
possible to match the final project amounts.
This change order is brought for Commission consideration as it exceeds the staff
approval threshold of $30K. The previous two change orders were within the staff
approval limits.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: AMOUNT BUDGETED:
Change Order #003 - $35,929.16 $650,000 (202-92002)
$300,000 (591-92002)
FUND OR ACCOUNT: Various-91851-5346
Page 6 of 13
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to approve Change Orders #003
with McCormick Sand for the work on City project 92002 (Peck Street – Merrill to
Apple).
N. Social District 2022 Fee Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City Commission is asked to consider the
2022 fee for Muskegon Downtown Social District stickers.
The city charges for social district stickers placed on establishments’ branded
cups that allow patrons to take and consume alcoholic drinks in the Social
District Common Area. The first year the city charged two fees, one for regular
days and a higher fee for special events. The average cost of fees were 60
cents with 62 percent of the stickers sold at the special event prices. With
consensus support of the establishments, staff recommends a sing 75-cent
sticker fee for the entire year. This same fee would be charged to Lakeside
Social District establishments. The downtown fee is estimated to raise $92,250
with the 25 percent increase needed to help cover city costs of producing
special events in the downtown social district and startup costs in Lakeside. All
sticker revenues will cover direct social district costs or indirect city special event
costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve a 75-cent city social district sticker
fee for the 2022 calendar year.
Motion by Commissioner Johnson, second by Vice Mayor Hood, to accept the
consent agenda as presented minus items, D, L, and M.

MOTION PASSES
L. Arena Vending City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval to purchase three vending
machines for Mercy Health Arena.
Arena staff has been unable to consistently open the concession stands in a
profitable manner during small events such as youth hockey, high school
hockey, etc. Staff is recommending that three vending machines be purchased
to provide snacks, cold drinks, and hot drinks during these times. Staff has
received a number of quotes, and it is likely that multiple vendors will be used to
complete the purchase(s). We are seeking approval to expend $25,000 to
purchase the three machines. A sample of the machine types and costs is
attached.
Although this specific purchase was not budgeted, staff feels that the purchase
can fit within the current Mercy Health Arena budget.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $25,000 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $25,000
FUND OR ACCOUNT: Mercy Health Arena
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the purchase of three vending
machines for Mercy Health Arena at a combined cost not to exceed $25,000.

the purchase of three vending machines for Mercy Health Arena at a combined
cost not to exceed $25,000.

M. CSXT Purchase Agreement City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking authorization to enter into an
agreement with CSXT.
For the past 5+ years, staff has been working to complete the purchase and
removal of the CSXT railroad line that runs from the former YMCA through
Lakeside to the Jaycees Launch Ramp. The attached agreement would allow
for a portion of the line to be converted into a trail via a trail use agreement,
and the remainder of the line to be used for redevelopment.
The purchase price is $1,648,000. We anticipate $40,000 in filing fees as well. As
part of the due diligence period, we will have the entire line surveyed. We do
not have a cost for the survey, and instead will use a billable hourly rate model.
Staff has a tight timeline to complete due diligence and prepare for Federal
Approval. As such, we will be requesting authorization to both sign the
agreement and formally complete the sale at the end of the due diligence
period. We are using a combined not-to-exceed budget number of $2 Million.
We are proposing to utilize ARPA dollars to complete the purchase, but we
foresee opportunities to recoup most/all of this investment via a combination of
Brownfield TIF and allowing the buy-out of the various crossing agreements that
we will inherit.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $2 Million AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
FUND OR ACCOUNT: State/Federal Grants
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize the City Manager to sign the
Agreement and complete the transaction upon successful completion of the
due diligence, and thereafter to return to the City Commission for final approval
of transaction prior to closing.
Motion by Commissioner German, second by Commissioner Rinsema-Sybenga,
to authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement and complete the
transaction upon successful completion of the due diligence, and thereafter to
return to the City Commission for final approval of transaction prior to closing.

2021-110 PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Infill Housing Project Brownfield Plan Public Hearing (3rd Amendment)
Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To hold a public hearing and approve the resolution
which seeks to adopt an amendment to the City’s Brownfield Plan (Infill Housing
Page 9 of 13
Project, 3rd Amendment). On November 30, 2021, the BRA approved the Plan
Amendment and further recommends that the Muskegon City Commission
approve the Plan Amendment.
City staff has prepared a brownfield plan to include an additional 386 parcels
beyond the 119 parcels previously adopted in the 2nd Amendment. This brings
the total to 505 Eligible Properties for this project and the lots are scattered
throughout the city. The City Commission approve the Plan’s 1st Amendment on
7/28/2020 and 2nd Amendment on 12/8/2020. This Amendment seeks to modify
the plan by adding in all of the government-owned, vacant residential
properties in the City.
The 3rd Amendment also includes the following updates:
• Developer’s Reimbursement Costs: Infill Housing - $13,557,000; Mixed-use
projects-$1,000,000; Total reimbursement costs - $14,557,000
• Estimated Total Capital Investment: Infill Housing - $127,000,000; Home
rehab - $500,000; Mixed Use developments: $26,000,000; Total Estimated
Capital Investment - $153,500,000
• The Plan anticipates eligible activities, paid through future capture of tax
increments, to include $11,780,000 for cost of sale/seller concessions;
$2,000,000 for demolition and potential costs of abatement; $777,000 to
construct public infrastructure at the former farmers market; $20,000 for
brownfield plan preparation and development; a 15% plan contingency
fee of $2,603,100; and which reflects total eligible activities to be paid
under this plan at $19,957,100. The eligible activities will also be reimbursed
with interest at 5%.
• The Authority intends to enter into Development & Reimbursement
Agreements with future property owners/developers of properties
included in the Plan to reimburse them for costs of eligible activities.
• The duration of this Plan does not exceed 30 years and complete
recapture of eligible costs through tax increment revenue are expected
to occur within this period. The duration of the tax capture began in 20209
and does not “reset” with the adoption of this 3rd Amendment.
• The plan contemplates continued five-year capture of tax increments for
a local Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund if there is time left in the 30-year
plan after eligible costs are covered.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To close the public hearing and approve the
resolution of the Brownfield Plan Amendment for the City’s Infill Housing Project
(3rd Amendment).
PUBLIC HEARING COMMENCED: No public comments were received.

Commission Meeting Date: January 11th, 2022 Title: ADA Project Funding Reallocation
Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to revised the previously approved allocations from the ADA project
account for projects along Western Avenue.
Detailed Summary:
On September 14th, 2021 the City Commission allocated $200,000 towards ADA work in the FY 21/22
budget as shown in line 101-91116 between three projects as follows:
• $120,000 – Frauenthal sidewalk replacement and snow melt system
• $40,000 – Streetscaping and sidewalk replacements along Western and 2nd at The Leonard
• $40,000 – 3rd to 5th Parking / Sidewalk flex space
Subsequent to the ADA distribution it was decided to dedicate ARPA dollars towards the Frauenthal
project. As such staff would like to adjust the previous ADA allocation to redistribute the Frauenthal
dollars to the other projects. The proposed new distribution would be as follows:
• $100,000 – Streetscaping and sidewalk replacements along Western and 2nd at The Leonard
• $100,000 – 3rd to 5th Parking / Sidewalk flex space
The $100,000 allocation in conjunction with The Leonard will make that project whole and complete
everything required. The $100,000 allocation towards the work on Western will need additional
funding from the Major Street fund in a future reforecast to make the project whole. There is currently
a budget surplus in the Major Street fund for FY21/22 to accommodate this revision and it will be
addressed in a future reforecast.
Amount Requested: $200,000 Amount Budgeted: $200,000
Fund(s) or Account(s): 101-91116 Fund(s) or Account(s): 101-91116
Recommended Motion:
Authorize staff to utilize the budgeted $200,000 allocation for ADA Projects in partnership with The Leonard
streetscaping and sidewalk replacements and for a pilot project to construct flex parking/sidewalk space along
two blocks of Western Avenue between 3rd and 5th.

#001
Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to approve Change Order #001 on the Amity Avenue construction
project.
Detailed Summary:
Change Order #001 for the work on Amity Avenue is requesting approval to increase the contract
amount by $85,532.37 because of new items that were required on the contract. The original contract
amount was $4,138,499.30 and this change order represents a 2% increase. The project budget
carried a 6% contingency and this increase will not exceed that contingency.
The Amity Avenue project will be a second change order needed for this project to balance out the
original items in the contract, which include many unused items. The Engineer and Contractor are in
the process of finalizing those details. When Change Order #002 is finalized it is expected that it will
be a net decrease and offset much of the added cost in Change Order #001.

Order #003
Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to approve Change Order #003 on the Michigan & Franklin
construction project.
Detailed Summary:
Change Order #003 for the work on Michigan Avenue & Franklin Avenue is requesting approval to
increase the contract amount by $47,820.00.
There are several small adjustments needed to the Michigan and Franklin project that were identified
as having been missed for previously payment during final closeout between the Engineer and
Contractor. These are shown as Line items 1-4 on the attached and would not exceed the threshold
for staff approval on their own.
Additionally there is one large extra item shown as Line item 5 which was added onto this contract, but
was completed at a different location. The storm sewer outlet at Spring Street and Webster Avenue
was found to be collapsed during construction of the work on Spring Street, and required immediate
emergency repair to prevent flooding and damage. The Contractor for Spring Street was unable to
complete this work in a reasonable timeframe due to prior commitments and as such staff worked with
our Engineer to solicit bids for this work. Wadel Stabilization provided the low bid and was authorized
to complete this work in accordance with the emergency purchasing policy. Adding this work to an
existing contract which was already in place with Wadel Stabilization (Michigan & Franklin) allowed for
all of the contract provisions and insurance to remain in place to cover this additional work rather than
starting from scratch. Commission was notified via email on 9/24/2021 of the intent to utilize the
Emergency Purchasing provisions for this work.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: January 11th, 2022 Title: Prein & Newhoff – Laketon / Lakeshore
Trail Connector Engineering Assistance
Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to enter into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Prein &
Newhof to provide grant and engineering assistance related to a proposed new non-motorized trail.
Detailed Summary:
This item pairs with another item on the agenda. See also the request for an amendment to the PSA
with Prein & Newhof for the Sanford Street project.
Staff is planning to pursue a combination of TAP (Transportation Alternatives Program – MDOT) and
RTP (Recreational Trails Program – MDNR) funding to provide the backbone financing for the
construction of a planned trail connection along Sanford and Terrace Streets. Preliminary meetings
with both state agencies have verified the project as a good candidate for both programs as well as
being a regional priority.
The proposed trail route would start at the intersection of Sanford/Laketon and replace the eastern
sidewalk along Sanford Street north to Apple Avenue. The trail would cross Apple Avenue at the
signalized intersection (Apple/Sanford) then follow north along the sidewalk on the southwest side of
Terrace Street to Shoreline Drive. The trail would cross Shoreline Drive at the signalized intersection,
cross the railroad at the existing sidewalk crossing then join the Lakeshore Trail.
While the opportunity for the grant funding is encouraging it does come with the consequence of
requiring the non-motorized pathway project to be separated entirely from the other utility work that is
planned for Sanford Street. So while they could be constructed in near conjunction/succession
(pending grants), they must be administered entirely separately. In addition the TAP/RTP funding
would require the non-motorized trail project to be administered as an MDOT local agency program,
which has a separate schedule and requirements from the other utility projects.
As such staff is requesting to enter into a separate PSA to administer the trail project, and requesting a
reduction in the original Sanford Street PSA to remove some of the expense from that agreement
related to incorporating the planned trail. As these projects are best designed and planned
concurrently by the same team we have not solicited bids for this work but rather have requested a
proposal only from the team working on the Sanford Street utility project.
You’ll note that the new agreement costs more than the reduction to the existing agreement. There
are a number of reasons for that but the primary one is the requirement that the projects be
administered entirely separately creating duplication of efforts in many areas. In addition being an
MDOT administered local agency project carries additional requirements that increase the cost and
time required. However, if the project is successful in securing the noted grant funding, the increase in
the engineering costs will be more than offset by the grant amounts.
The Sanford Street utility project is still planned for 2023 construction. With a quick turnaround and a
successful grant application we could potentially pursue TAP/RTP funding for the same fiscal year.
There is a possibility that FY23 funding through MDOT/MDNR will not be available in which case we
may need to consider 2024 funding and construction.
Amount Requested: $158,700 Amount Budgeted: $0

Recommended Motion:
Authorize staff to sign the professional services agreement with Prein & Newhof to provide grant application
assistance, design engineering and construction administration related to a non-motorized pathway along
Sanford and Terrace Streets.

3. Client acknowledges that Engineer cannot guarantee that contaminants do not exist at a project site. Similarly, a site
which is in fact unaffected by contaminants at the time of Engineer’s surface or subsurface exploration may later, due to
natural phenomena or human intervention, become contaminated. The Client waives any claim against Engineer, and
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Engineer harmless from any claims or liability for injury or loss in the event that
Engineer does not detect the presence of contaminants through techniques commonly employed.
4. The Client recognizes that although Engineer is required by the nature of the services to have an understanding of the
laws pertaining to environmental issues, Engineer cannot offer legal advice to the Client. Engineer urges that the Client
seek legal assistance from a qualified attorney when such assistance is required. Furthermore, the Client is cautioned to
not construe or assume that any representations made by Engineer in written or conversational settings constitute a legal
representation of environmental law or practice.

underground utilities and other underground structures. Client agrees to hold Engineer harmless for any damages to below
ground utilities and structures not brought to Engineers attention and/or accurately shown or described on documents
provided to Engineer.
J. Insurance
1. Engineer will maintain insurance for professional liability, general liability, worker’s compensation, auto liability, and
property damage in the amounts deemed appropriate by Engineer. Client will maintain insurance for general liability,
worker’s compensation, auto liability, and property damage in the amounts deemed appropriate by Client. Upon request,
Client and Engineer shall each deliver certificates of insurance to the other evidencing their coverages.
2. Client shall require Contractors to purchase and maintain commercial general liability insurance and other insurance as
specified in project contract documents. Client shall cause Engineer, Engineer’s consultants, employees, and agents to be
listed as additional insureds with respect to any Client or Contractor insurances related to projects for which Engineer
provides services. Client agrees and must have Contractors agree to have their insurers endorse these policies to reflect
that, in the event of payment of any loss or damages, subrogation rights under these Terms and Conditions are hereby
waived by the insurer with respect to claims against Engineer.
K. Limitation of Liability - The total liability, in the aggregate, of Engineer and Engineer’s officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents, and consultants, whether jointly, severally or individually, to Client and anyone claiming by, through, or
under Client, for any and all injuries, losses, damages and expenses, whatsoever, arising out of, resulting from, or in any
way related to the Project or the Agreement, including but not limited to the performance of services under the Agreement,
from any cause or causes whatsoever, including but not limited to the negligence, professional errors or omissions, strict
liability or breach of contract or warranty, expressed or implied, of Engineer or Engineer’s officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents, consultants, or any of them, shall not exceed the amount of the compensation paid to Engineer under this
Agreement, or the sum of fifty thousand dollars and no cents ($50,000.00), whichever is less. Recoverable damages shall be
limited to those that are direct damages. Engineer shall not be responsible for or held liable for special, indirect or
consequential losses or damages, including but not limited to loss of use of equipment or facility, and loss of profits or
revenue.
Client acknowledges that Engineer is a corporation and agrees that any claim made by Client arising out of any act or
omission of any director, officer, or employee of Engineer, in the execution or performance of the Agreement, shall be made
against Engineer and not against such director, officer, or employee.

3. Any extrapolations, conclusions or assumptions derived by the Client or others from the data provided to the Client,
either in hard copy or electronic format, will be at the Client’s sole risk and full legal responsibility.
M. Differing Site Conditions - Client recognizes that actual site conditions may vary from the assumed site conditions or test
locations used by Engineer as the basis of its design. Consequently, Engineer does not guarantee or warrant that actual site
conditions will not vary from those used as the basis of Engineer’s design, interpretations and recommendations. Engineer is
not responsible for any costs or delays attributable to differing site conditions. .
N. Terms of Payment - Unless alternate terms are included in the Agreement, Client will be invoiced on a monthly basis until
the completion of the Project. All monthly invoices are payable within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Should full
payment of any invoice not be received within 30 days, the amount due shall bear a service charge of 1.5 percent per month
or 18 percent per year plus the cost of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees. If Client has any objections to any
invoice submitted by Engineer, Client must so advise Engineer in writing within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the invoice.
Unless otherwise agreed, Engineer shall invoice Client based on hourly billing rates and direct costs current at the time of
service performance. Outside costs such as, but not limited to, equipment, meals, lodging, fees, and subconsultants shall be
actual costs plus 10 percent. In addition to any other remedies Engineer may have, Engineer shall have the absolute right to
cease performing any services in the event payment has not been made on a current basis.
O. Termination - Either party may terminate services, either in part or in whole, by providing 10 calendar days written notice
thereof to the other party. In such an event, Client shall pay Engineer for all services performed prior to receipt of such
notice of termination, including reimbursable expenses, and for any shut–down costs incurred. Shut–down costs may, at
Engineer’s discretion, include expenses incurred for completion of analysis and records necessary to document Engineer’s
files and to protect its professional reputation.
P. Severability and Waiver of Provisions - Any provision or part of the Agreement held to be void or unenforceable under
any laws or regulations shall be deemed stricken, and all remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and binding upon
Client and P&N, who agree that the Agreement shall be reformed to replace such stricken provision or part thereof with a
valid and enforceable provision that comes as close as possible to expressing the intention of the stricken provision. Non-
enforcement of any provision by either party shall not constitute a waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect the
enforceability of that provision or of the remainder of the Agreement.
Q. Dispute Resolution - If a dispute arises between the parties relating to the Agreement, the parties agree to use the following
procedure prior to either party pursuing other available remedies:
1. Prior to commencing a lawsuit, the parties must attempt mediation to resolve any dispute. The parties will jointly appoint
a mutually acceptable person not affiliated with either of the parties to act as mediator. If the parties are unable to agree
on the mediator within twenty (20) calendar days, they shall seek assistance in such regard from the Circuit Court of the
State and County wherein the Project is located, who shall appoint a mediator. Each party shall be responsible for paying
all costs and expenses incurred by it, but shall split equally the fees and expenses of the mediator. The mediation shall
proceed in accordance with the procedures established by the mediator.
2. The parties shall pursue mediation in good faith and in a timely manner. In the event the mediation does not result in
resolution of the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days, then, upon seven (7) calendar days’ written notice to the other
party, either party may pursue any other available remedy.
3. In the event of any litigation arising from the Agreement, including without limitation any action to enforce or interpret
any terms or conditions or performance of services under the Agreement, Engineer and Client agree that such action will
be brought in the District or Circuit Court for the County of Kent, State of Michigan (or, if the federal courts have
exclusive jurisdiction over the subject matter of the dispute, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Michigan), and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of said court.
R. Force Majeure - Engineer shall not be liable for any loss or damage due to failure or delay in rendering any services called
for under the Agreement resulting from any cause beyond Engineer’s reasonable control.
S. Assignment - Neither party shall assign its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement without the express written
consent of the other party.
T. Modification - The Agreement may not be modified except in writing signed by the party against whom a modification is
sought to be enforced.
U. Survival - All express representations, indemnifications, or limitations of liability included in the Agreement shall survive
its completion or termination for any reason.
V. Third-Party Beneficiary – Client and Engineer agree that it is not intended that any provision of this Agreement establishes
a third party beneficiary giving or allowing any claim or right of action whatsoever by a third party.

49441 ("Buyer").
1. General Agreement and Description of Premises. Seller agrees to sell, and
Buyer agrees to buy, the real estate, and all improvements thereon, with all beneficial easements,
and with all of Seller's right, title and interest in all adjoining public ways, located in the City of
Muskegon, Muskegon County, Michigan ("Premises"), and specifically described as:
SEE ATTACHMENT A
Subject to the reservations, restrictions and easements of record, provided said reservations,
restrictions and easements of record are acceptable to Buyer upon disclosure and review of the
same, and subject to any governmental inspections required by law.
2. Purchase Price and Manner of Payment. The purchase price for the Premises
shall be Three Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Five and no/100 Dollars ($3,675), payable in
cash, money order, bank certified check at the closing.
3. Taxes and Assessments. All taxes and assessments that are due and payable at
the time of Closing shall be paid by Seller prior to or at Closing. All taxes and special

4. Title Insurance. Seller agrees to deliver to Buyer, on or before the closing date, a
commitment for title insurance, issued by Transnation Title Insurance Company, for an amount
not less than the purchase price stated in this Agreement, guaranteeing title on the conditions
required herein. In the event the reservations, restrictions or easements of record disclosed by
said title commitment is, in the sole discretion of Buyer, deemed unreasonable, Seller shall have
forty-five (45) days from the date Seller is notified in writing of such unreasonableness of
restriction and such unmarketability of title, to remedy such objections. If Seller resolves such
restrictions and remedies the title (by obtaining satisfactory title insurance or otherwise) within
the time specified, Buyer agrees to complete this sale as herein provided, within ten (10) days of
written notification thereof. If Buyer closes on the Premises, any objections to the title are
deemed waived. If Seller fails to resolve such restrictions or remedy the title within the time
above specified or fails to obtain satisfactory title insurance, this Agreement will be terminated at
Buyer's option. The premium for the owner's title policy shall be paid by Seller.

in the event said substantial completion has not occurred, or the restriction of this paragraph
relating to tree removal is violated, in the sole judgment of the City, the property and all
improvements then installed shall revert in title to the City, without any compensation or credit
to Buyer, and free of all liens. The covenants in this paragraph shall survive the closing and run
with the land.

Submitted By: Jake Eckholm Department: Economic Development
Brief Summary: Catholic Charities is in the final stages of relocating from their former offices at
1095 Third Street to their new location. The department has received one response for the
Request for Proposals that was approved by commission, and seeks commission approval to
move forward with the developer in drafting a Purchase and Development Agreement.
Detailed Summary:
Over the last several months the City’s Economic Development team has showed the former
Catholic Charities site to a number of both local and regional potential developers. In the end, one
developer, Suburban Property LLC, replied with a well composed and feasible development
proposal. This developer has been working for some time on getting into the market in the
Muskegon area, and has brought on well-regarded and credentialed architects and contractors.
Staff has reviewed the proposal, and supports the program it contains for phased redevelopment
of all three lots. The first phase would include the adaptive reuse of the existing building, with all
three floors of the structure being used for market-rate apartments. The next phase would 8 two-
story townhomes along Houston, and finally a 3-4 story mixed use building on the corner of
Muskegon and Third.
Amount Requested: $0 Amount Budgeted: N/A
Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A
Recommended Motion: A motion to name Suburban Property, LLC the Preferred Developer for the

Through value engineering and pricing, additional living
units were designed as walkouts, lower level parking
was designed under only two of the three building
wings, and the balance of the parking requirements

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT VISION & PROGRAM

SECTION II: PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT VISION AND PROGRAM
DESIGN NARRATIVE FOR 1095 THIRD STREET
Our primary objective was to focus on a unique housing solution for the initial phase, which includes the repurposing of 1095
Third Street. This was crafted in the context of an overall redevelopment of the entire available parcel extending to Muskegon
to the north and along Houston to the west. Our goals, we feel, align with your stated objectives. These include:
• Creative and attainable urban living option, with emphasis on livability and convenience.
• Maximizing density in unique adaptive reuse concept
• Activating an otherwise inactive corner with 24 hours use
• Re-establishing the corridor edges on Houston and Third Street
SITE DESIGN
The site master plan serves to re-establish the open edges along Houston and Third Streets with architecture to complement
the existing two-story building that we will be converting to apartment uses.
To respond to the residential-scaled structures to the west on Houston, our plan includes eight two-story townhouses.
To the north, on Third Street/Muskegon corner, we envision a three to four-story mixed-use building with grade-level retail/
restaurant space and apartments above.
Drop off, and parking will be provided internal to the site with access from Third Street and from Houston. Currently, 48 on-site
parking spaces are planned in the master plan.
BUILDING DESIGN
Phase 1 of this project will be the adaptive reuse of what we will call 1095 Third, the existing two-story structure on the
corner of Third and Houston. The main and upper levels total approximately 26,400 square feet, and the building includes a
basement area of just under 26,00 square feet.
Our initial phase in the project was to get as much-needed housing as possible into 1095 Third. We chose to retain the existing
primary interior circulation elements (stair and elevator) and create a new primary entrance for residents on the northwest
corner, proximate to a proposed drop-off and the on-site parking area.
The main level is planned as (16) one-bedroom apartments and (1) studio for a total of 17 units. Most units will have in-unit
washers and dryers; however, to maximize livable space and stay efficient, many units will be able to use communal laundry
facilities. Each floor has accommodations for communal laundry, a small lounge space, and indoor secure bike storage.
Residents’ primary entry will be a new entry lobby on the northwest corner of the building proximate to the existing elevator
and stair and parking. This will include a small lobby with seating as well as a mail and package delivery room. A secure
secondary entry will also be provided on the Houston Street elevator.
The upper level is a very similar layout with (17) one-bedroom units and (1) studio for a total of (18) units. The same
accommodations will be provided on this level.
26 1095 Third Street Redevelopment Project
The basement level is currently planned with up to (12) units. (5) units are planned on the west side of the building, with a
new light well provided to allow ample access to light and ventilation on the west wall. (7) units are potentially an option
along the east elevation with a light well. The cost and logistics of these (7) units are still in the evaluation stage. On this level,
in addition to the planned apartments, there will be additional resident storage areas available and accommodations for
building mechanical systems.
Our exterior is still being evaluated; however, we anticipate paying homage in part to the original design with a fresh approach.
We plan to emphasize the original horizontal expression with our material application and window placement. Our concept is
an all residential one, so the exterior expressions on each floor are more similar.
The result will be a re-established, active community within the community, providing a new life to this existing City structure,
with the overall vision to continue to bring much needed and attainable workforce housing and retail to this area of the city.

Recommended Motion: Approve the sales agreement and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign.
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of January
___, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) by and between 2725 Olthoff LLC, a Michigan limited liability company,
of 55 Campau Avenue NW, Suite 300, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503 (“Buyer”) and the City of
Muskegon, a Michigan municipal corporation, of 933 Terrace, Muskegon, Michigan 49440 (“Seller”).
RECITALS
A. Seller owns that certain real property located in the City of Muskegon, County of
Muskegon, State of Michigan, commonly known as 2725 Olthoff Drive, consisting of approximately 34.37
acres of vacant land in the Port City Industrial Park (the “Parent Parcel”) having permanent parcel number
61-24-696-000-0067-00.
B. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Seller desires to sell and Buyer desires to
purchase a portion of the Parent Parcel consisting of 20 or more acres, as depicted on Exhibit A attached
hereto and to be more particularly described on Exhibit B to be attached hereto at a later date as described
in this Agreement, together with all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all improvements,
hereditaments, tenements, rights, leases, rents, issues, profits, easements appurtenant thereto, all
collectively referred to herein as the “Property.”
C. Upon completion of the sale and purchase of the Property, Seller shall retain title
to the residual portion of the Parent Parcel which is not being conveyed to Purchaser as part of the Property
(the “Retained Property”). The Retained Property is described on Exhibit C to be attached hereto at a
later date. Seller intends to obtain the issuance of all governmental approvals necessary to split the portion
of the Property as shown as Exhibit A and described on Exhibit B out of the Parent Parcel in order to cause
such portion of the Property to constitute a separate approximately 20 acre legal parcel substantially in the
location and configuration shown on Exhibit A (the “Land Division”).
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, taking into account the foregoing Recitals, and in consideration of
the mutual covenants, agreements and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller agree as
follows:
1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE. Subject to the conditions and upon the
terms of this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to sell, convey and assign the Property to Buyer, and Buyer
agrees to buy and accept the Property from Seller.
2. PURCHASE PRICE/DEPOSIT. The purchase price to be paid for the Property (the
“Purchase Price”) at the Close of Escrow is One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500.00)
per acre. The Purchase Price shall be deposited by Buyer into Escrow (as defined below) in immediately
available funds on or before the Close of Escrow. Upon the full execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall
deposit in escrow with the Title Company the sum of Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00; the
“Earnest Money Deposit”). The Earnest Money Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price at the Close
of Escrow.
3. TITLE AND SURVEY.
(a) Title. As evidence of title to the Property, Buyer shall obtain at Seller’s cost and
1
12b_purchase and sale agreement - olthoff.docx
expense, from First American Title Insurance Company, whose address is 4362 Cascade Road, SE, Suite
109, Grand Rapids, MI 49545 (the “Title Company”) a commitment (“Title Commitment’) to issue an
owner’s title insurance policy insuring the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, without the
standard printed exceptions, which shall be in a form approved by the American Land Title Association
(“ALTA”) and acceptable to Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer may request that the title insurance
policy insure the Property in an amount greater than the Purchase Price (“Additional Coverage”), in which
case Buyer shall pay for any additional cost of such Additional Coverage. Buyer shall notify Seller in
writing on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (defined below) if the Title Commitment
discloses any exceptions not acceptable to Buyer or if the Survey (defined below) shows any deviation from
apparent boundaries or represented acreage, violation of zoning ordinances, or building and use restrictions,
flood hazard area, encroachment, or condition that poses a problem for Buyer’s lender, if any, or that, in
Buyer’s judgment, could interfere with Buyer’s intended use of the Property (individually and collectively,
a “Defect”). Seller may elect to remove each Defect at Seller’s expense on or before the Close of Escrow
after Buyer’s notice of the Defect. In addition, Seller shall satisfy the requirements set forth in the Title
Commitment on or before the Close of Escrow. If Seller fails or refuses to remove any Defect or satisfy
any requirement on the Title Commitment, then Buyer may: (i) proceed to closing, waiving the Defect or
requirement at issue; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by a written notice to Seller, the Earnest Money
Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further liability to the other
under this Agreement.
(b) Survey. Buyer’s receipt and approval, in its sole discretion, of a 2021
ALTA/NSPS land title survey of the Land which is certified to Buyer, Buyer’s lender, and the Title
Company, insuring the transaction along with their underwriter, and Buyer’s assignee, if any, all at Buyer’s
expense (“Survey”).
4. BUYER’S CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER CLOSING REQUIREMENTS.
Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property and the remainder of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement
shall be subject to its approval of each contingency set forth below (collectively, the “Buyer
Contingencies”) on or before the date that is three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the Effective Date
(“Due Diligence Period”). The Buyer Contingencies are for the sole benefit of Buyer. The satisfaction or
waiver of each Buyer Contingency is a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. This Agreement may
be terminated upon written notice to Seller by Buyer on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence
Period: (a) as a result of Buyer’s disapproval of any of the Buyer Contingencies, or (b) by reason of the
failure of any condition precedent in favor of Buyer as set forth in this Agreement. If this Agreement is
terminated for any reason other than a default under this Agreement solely on the part of Buyer, then Buyer
shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement and the Earnest Money Deposit shall
be refunded to Buyer.
(a) Inspections. Buyer’s satisfaction, in its sole discretion, with the results of all
inspections of the Property that Buyer desires, including, but not limited to, compliance of the Property
with applicable laws, ordinances and regulations, the suitability of the Property for Buyer’s intended use,
and the environmental condition of the Property, to be performed at Buyer’s discretion and expense. If the
Property is a “facility” within the meaning of Part 201 of the Michigan Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Act, MCL 324.20101 et seq (“Part 201”), Buyer may, at Buyer’s expense,
prepare and, after closing, submit to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy
(“EGLE”) a “baseline environmental assessment,” or “BEA,” pursuant to Section 26 of Part 201, MCL
324.20126. Buyer may also, at Buyer’s expense, prepare a due care plan to meet due care obligations, if
any, at the Property imposed under MCL 324.20107a.
(b) Land Division. The conveyance of the Property shall be subject to and
conditioned upon Seller, at its sole cost and expense, obtaining the issuance of all governmental approvals
2
12b_purchase and sale agreement - olthoff.docx
necessary to split the portion of the Property identified on Exhibit A out of the Parent Parcel pursuant to
1967 PA, 288, MCL 560.101 et seq. (the “Land Division Act”), and in accordance with associated local
governmental requirements. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Land Division to
be completed by the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, at no
cost or expense to Buyer, with Seller in that regard. The size of the parcel created by the Land Division
shall be sufficient to lawfully construct a 250,000-square-foot building in accordance with Buyer’s plans
and specifications for the Project (defined below). If Seller is unable, despite its commercially reasonable
efforts to do so, to effectuate the Land Division within the Due Diligence Period, then either party may
elect to terminate this Agreement, by notice of such election to terminate delivered to the other party prior
to the effectuation of the Land Division, and in the event of such termination, the Earnest Money Deposit
shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder (other
than the provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement).
Once the Land Division is effectuated, the associated legal description of the Property shall be attached
hereto as Exhibit B, the associated legal description of the Retained Property shall be attached hereto as
Exhibit C, and the Buyer and Seller shall arrange to have the Title Company modify the Commitment to
reflect the actual legal description of the Property and make the associated revisions to the Commitment.
Any new title exceptions resulting therefrom shall be subject to Buyer’s approval, including, without
limitation, the requirement of any additional title endorsements. Further, such legal description of the
Property shall be utilized for purposes of Exhibit A to the Deed (defined in Section 5(c)). If Land Division
Act approval is obtained, at Closing Seller shall convey at least one division right to Buyer at the closing.
(c) Development. Buyer intends to construct a life science research and office facility
consisting initially of approximately 125,000 square feet, with an anticipated expansion of another 125,000
square feet (the “Project”). Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property and the remainder of Buyer’s
obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to Buyer’s satisfaction that the Property is suitable for
the Project, including, but not limited to the condition of the surface and soil thereunder; the availability
and condition of adjoining roadways, utilities, and sewers; a geotechnical analysis of the Property; Buyer’s
satisfaction that all governing municipalities and all other government and regulatory agencies having
jurisdiction over the Property or Buyer will permit and approve the Project (“Permits and Approvals”),
including, but not limited to, the Permits and Approvals of an onsite incinerator;
(d) Tax Abatement. The Tax Abatement (defined below) shall have been obtained
for the Property.
(e) Financing/Appraisal. Buyer’s receipt and approval of financing for the
construction of the Project from sources and under terms and conditions acceptable to Buyer, in its sole
discretion, and Buyer’s receipt and approval of an appraisal of the Property acceptable to Buyer, in its sole
discretion.

Effective Date, to the extent in the possession or control of Seller, Seller shall deliver to Buyer full,
complete, accurate, and legible copies of the following documentation, along with such other documents as

approvals, township resolutions, permits, licenses, entitlements and other governmental, utility
service provider and other quasi-governmental authorizations, including any certificates of
occupancy that Seller now holds in connection with the ownership, planning, development,
construction, use, operation or maintenance of the Property and all amendments, modifications,
supplements, general conditions and addenda thereto;
(iii) copies of any and all written notices received by Seller from any
governmental or quasi-governmental authorities with respect to (A) violations or alleged violations
of any License, law, code or regulation, including, without limitation, any health and sanitation,
fire or building codes; (B) defects or other deficiencies in the Property, and (C) results of all
inspections of the Property;
(iv) such other documents or items as Buyer may reasonably request in
connection with its due diligence investigation of the Property or the operation thereof.

respects as of the Close of Escrow and, prior to the Close of Escrow, there shall be no material breach of

Re: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services for Beach Street Parking and Pedestrian Facilities
Improvements No. 2
Dear Mr. Evans:
DLZ Michigan, Inc. (DLZ) is pleased to submit this proposal for professional engineering and surveying services to
the City of Muskegon (CITY) for proposed parking and pedestrian facility improvements along Beach Street near
Pere Marquette Park. (See Attached – Location Map)
BACKGROUND
DLZ’s understanding of the project is based on discussions with CITY staff and current work in the area. The scope
of the project consists of parking and pedestrian improvements along Beach Street starting near the south parking
lot (MACkite building) and extending north to the Ovals intersection with pedestrian improvements continuing along
the west leg of Beach Street north in front of the Deck and tie into existing sidewalks at Margaret Elliot Park. The
proposed pedestrian improvements would consist of a 20 feet wide concrete walkway with a possible split around
the City’s bathhouse and a short extension westerly of the bathhouse. The short extension westerly of the bath
house would replace a temporary walkway that is placed each spring by CITY staff. Additional parking improvements
are being considered within the center of the Ovals consisting of a redesigned parking lot including new pavement,
additional parking spaces, and revised parking lot layout. No new entrance locations into the center parking lot are
anticipated. Parking and pedestrian improvements for the area south of the Ovals to the south parking lot (MACkite
building) were developed under a previous contract by DLZ. It is anticipated construction would commence in fall
of 2022.
The following agreement between DLZ and the CITY is separate and distinct from any other agreement between DLZ
and the CITY.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The parking and pedestrian facility improvements will generally consist of construction of angled parking on both
sides of a one-way south bound drive from the south Ovals to the south parking lot, reconstruction of the parking
lot in the center of the Ovals, and a non-motorized pedestrian pathway running parallel to Beach Street from the
south parking lot (MACkite building) to the Ovals and continuing north along the west leg of Beach Street and
continuing around the Ovals to tie into existing sidewalks at the Margaret Elliot Park. The following are two options
for design engineering services for consideration:

the construction of the project including Critical Dunes permit, Muskegon County Soil Erosion and
Sedimentation Control (SESC) as may be required. Application and permit fees will be the responsibility of the
CITY.

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: January 11, 2022 Title: Development Agreement West Urban
Submitted By: Frank Peterson Department: City Manager
Brief Summary: Staff is seeking approval of the attached development agreement.
Detailed Summary. West Urban Properties was selected as one of three contractors for the ARPA-
funded infill housing program. The goal of the program is to continue in-filling vacant lots in our core
neighborhoods while ensuring the housing units are offered in a more-affordable manner.
Staff awaits final guidance from the US Treasury related to required level of affordability, but we
expect that a portion of the homes will be designated to families with incomes between 60% and
80% of AMI. The City will maintain ownership of the infill sites throughout the construction process,
and will control the sale process. The City Commission will decide on each formal sale at the time
of the sale – similarly to the Midtown Square projects. This will allow the City Commission more
discretion in determining the depth of the affordability component of the program.
The most notable change from the model agreement previously presented to the City Commission
in 2021 is the anticipated cost per house. We have raised the maximum to $235,000 to address
increases in materials. While wood costs are down, it seems that all other material costs are up.
Access to housing at all levels of affordability is difficult now. We are in a prime position to lead the
county in new housing while addressing the lack of livable housing for lower income earners, and I
recommend that we do so. Note that the addresses are not included. There are hundreds of
addresses to select from, but many were acquired via the tax foreclosure process and have title
issues to address. Staff feels comfortable working with the builder to identify the most-appropriate
building sites that have clear title.
Amount Requested: $3,125,000 Amount Budgeted: N/A
Fund(s) or Account(s): State/Federal Grants Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A
Recommended Motion: Approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager to sign.
