                                  MINUTES
The Regular Commission Meeting of the City of Muskegon was held at City Hall,
933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, February 22,

Present: Mayor Ken Johnson, Vice Mayor Willie German, Jr., Commissioners,

Ramsey, City Manager Franklin Peterson, City Attorney John Schrier, and Deputy
City Clerk Kimberly Young.
PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS:             No public comments were received.
2022-14     CONSENT AGENDA:
  A. Approval of Minutes       City Clerk
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the minutes of the January 25, 2022 Regular
Meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:          To approve the minutes.
  B.   Sale – 760 Leonard      Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: City staff is seeking authorization to sell the city-owned
home at 760 Leonard in Jackson Hill to Brittany Alexander.
The City is constructing this single family detached home as part of our infill
housing program. Our contract to construct two homes was for $425,000, and
the estimated finished costs of this home will be $215,000. We also anticipated
$12,900 in sales commissions. The accepted purchase price is $206,000, and the
incurred sales commissions are $10,000, and sellers’ concession of $6,000. The
City will not contribute funds toward closing costs outside of seller’s concession
and agent commission. The proceeds of this home will repay a portion of the
Priority related Investment made by the Community Foundation for Muskegon
County. The sale of the second home in this project should repay the remainder,
and any additional funds will reimburse the Economic Development Fund for the

                                         Page 1 of 11
$75,000 investment in the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:           Authorize the Code Coordinator to complete the
sale of 760 Leonard Street, as described in the purchase agreement, and for the
Mayor and Clerk to sign the deed.
  C. Peck Street – Change Order #006           Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is requesting approval of Change Order #006 on
the Peck Street project as the overall project has exceeded staff approval levels
for change orders.
Change order #006 represents final balancing of all items on the project and will
bring the project to a close. Change order #006 requests a net increase to the
project of $100,647.98 above the previously approved requests.
This change order will result in the following final values for the project:
As-Bid Cost = $3,481,438.91
Final Cost = $4,186,417.34
Net Change = $704,978.43 (20.2% increase)
As a note of clarification, several of the previously approved change orders
were the result of additional work undertaken at the request of Muskegon Public
Schools to facility utility relocations for capital projects at the High School and
Middle School sites. Of the $$704,978.43 net increase to the project it is
expected that MPS will reimburse the City $467,454.93 resulting in the true cost
increase of the project really being $237,523.50 (6.8% Increase).
This increase is still slightly above the 6% budgeted contingency on the projects
and will require a slight reforecast adjustment in the future. It should be noted
that this project was bundled and bonded in conjunction with the Amity
Avenue project (92009). The Amity Avenue project is nearing final closeout and
is on track to be finalized at or slightly below the as-bid amount resulting in
nearly all of the budgeted 6% contingency from the project being able to cover
the slight overrun on Peck Street.
AMOUNT REQUESTED:         $100,647.98          AMOUNT BUDGETED:           $63,090.94
                                               (Remaining Contingency 92010)
FUND OR ACCOUNT:          202/590/591/92010
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:          Authorize staff to approve Change Orders #006
to Project 92010 in the amount of $100,647.98 for the additional work as noted.
  D. Western Avenue Fifth to Third Parking Lane Improvements – Contract
     Award      Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is requesting authorization to approve a contract
with Anlaan Corporation in the amount of $332,863.00

                                           Page 2 of 11
Bids were solicited for a construction project to improve the parking lane along
Western Avenue, between Fifth and Third. Anlaan provided the low bid. The bid
tabulation sheet is in the packet.
Two alternates were also solicited. Alternate #1 is a different type of bollard post
system. Alternate #2 is a different concrete surface finish and texture. The base
bid is the preferred construction method, therefore staff recommends
acceptance of the base bid and rejection of the alternates.
AMOUNT REQUESTED:         $332,863.00        AMOUNT BUDGETED:          $300,000
                                             Upcoming Forecast
FUND OR ACCOUNT:          101-91116 & 202-92201
STAFF RECOMMENDAITON:        Authorize staff to approve a contract with
Anlaan Corporation in the amount of $332,863.00.
  E.   Hartshorn Marina Village Brownfield Repayment City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of the repayment schedule for
the Hartshorn Marina Village Brownfield project.
In 2020 the City Commission authorized the issuance of up to $8 Million in
general obligation bonds for a number of municipal projects. One of the
projects included was the infrastructure for Hartshorn Marina Village. The
$600,000 expense was to be repaid via Brownfield tax capture. The Brownfield is
approximately two years behind schedule as the developers have dealt with
various environmental issues. This delay has left the Brownfield Fund with
inadequate cashflow to cover the debt payments today, and we expect that
will be the case for the next 1-2 years as well.
The Finance Department has reviewed the obligations and is recommending
that the General Fund assume the debt obligation and make the payments. In
return, the General Fund will retain the tax capture to reimburse itself with
interest over the life of the Brownfield. An amortization schedule is provided in
the packet. Note that the $600,000 original principal has already incurred
interest for one year, resulting in a starting balance above $600,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:         Authorize the repayment schedule to reimburse
the General Fund $600,000 plus 5% interest from the Brownfield Fund.
  F.   Deficit Elimination Plan – BRA – Hartshorn Village (combined) Finance
SUMMARY OF REQUESTON:            To approve the Deficit Elimination plan and
resolution for the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (combined) and direct
staff to submit plan to the State of Michigan.
On June 30, 2021, the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (combined) had a
$567,040 deficit. Act 275 of Public Acts of 1980 requires the City to formulate a
deficit elimination plan and submit it to the Michigan Department of Treasury.

                                          Page 3 of 11
The deficit elimination plan and resolution for the Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority are provided.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:       To approve the deficit elimination resolution for
the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority Fund.
  H. Development Agreement LRS Enterprises            Development
     Services/Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of the Development
Agreement.
LRS Enterprises was selected as one of four 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.
There is not crystal-clear 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 vote 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.
Access to housing at all levels of affordability is difficult now. We are in a prime
position to lead the county in new housing, 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:         $750,000
FUND OR ACCOUNT:          State/Federal Grants
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:            Approve the agreement and authorize the City
Manager to sign.
  K. Request for Water Utility Connection Fee Waiver       Development
     Services/Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The vacant filling station/winery building at 611 W. Clay
is being redeveloped into a boutique hotel and is requesting a waiver of their
water utility connection fees.


                                           Page 4 of 11
The long vacant and half constructed site at 611 W. Clay was once supposed to
be a winery and restaurant space, and has sat vacant for several years. The
new owners, Jeremy Garcia of Muskegon and Bryan Hamrick of Grand Rapids,
have run into some cost overruns with their project due to construction materials
and other factors, and are asking for the city commission to consider waiving
their domestic and fire suppression utility hookup fees. A quote from DPW is
provided in the packet. There is currently a moratorium on any sewer
connection fee waivers and staff informed the owners of that fact so they are
not requesting sewer hookup fees be waived.
AMOUNG REQUESTED:        $11,800 in fee waivers
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:          To approve the request by 611 W. Clay LLC to
waive domestic water and fire suppression utility connection fees for the
construction project at 611 W. Clay as presented.
  L.   Precinct Boundary Changes      City Clerk
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City Commission adopted a resolution allowing
certain precinct boundary changes on February 8, 2022. There is an additional
change that needs to be made in order to avoid a county commission district
split in precinct 11. This will not impact the balancing of wards as precinct 11
and 12 are in the same ward.
Voters in Precinct 11 that live on Pine Grove and on the odd side of Winchester
will be moved to Precinct 12. The County Commission boundary runs right down
Winchester. Voters on the odd (west) side will be in County Commission District 4,
those on the even (east) side will be in County Commission District 7.
Due to the timeline for getting changes submitted to the State of Michigan,
Bureau of Elections, we are seeking approval of the changes so that we can
submit our revisions as soon as possible.
The deadline for precinct boundary changes to be submitted for the May 3,
2022 Election is March 4, 2022. We would like to have the changes made before
the May Election to allow for time to send new voter ID cards to voters in the
City of Muskegon. Approximately 798 total voters (721 from previous changes
and 77 from this change) will be assigned to new precincts and polling places.
All voters will receive new ID cars to identify changes to Precinct, Ward, Polling
Place, County Commission District, State House District, State Senate District, and
Congressional District numbers
Change #5 – move approximately 77 voters from Ward 4 precinct 11 to Ward 4
Precinct 12 – to avoid a County Commission District split in Precinct 11.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:       To concur with the recommendation of the City
of Muskegon Election Commission and adopt the resolution to alter precinct
boundaries.

  M. Unmarked Police Vehicle Lease Plan Public Safety
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Unmarked Police Vehicle Lease Plan with Hertz Rental
Cars.
Due to the State of Michigan discontinuing the WHEELS Program mid-year, four
(4) unmarked vehicles assigned to our undercover detectives have ben
returned to the State of Michigan. Replacement vehicles need to be in service
by 2. 24. 2022. Cost per replacement lease vehicle including maintenance and
other flex options is approximately $700 per vehicle ($2,800 per month). This
lease program will be in place until the end of this current budget year. Fleet
insurance and fuel costs will still be sustained by the City of Muskegon.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: Already in 21/22 budget AMOUNT BUDGETED: $13,125
FUND OR ACCOUNT:         101-40301-4363
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:           To approve the lease with Hertz Rental Car for

  J.    Amendment to Community enCompass Infill Housing Agreement (EACH
       Program)  Development Services/Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: A proposed amendment to the existing Development
Agreement for low/moderate income infill housing.
In an attempt to further our Economic Equity efforts and to create diversity of
housing price points as we build infill, we have been working for quite some time
with Community enCompass to construct and infill affordable and accessible
owner occupied single family housing. Two of the three houses have been
placed and we are working on identifying a third lot. Staff has come up with a
strategy to substitute ARPA dollars for the HOME funds originally intended for this
project, and in doing so reallocate those funds to a fourth accessible unity. The
provided amendment clarifies the use of ARPA dollars rather than HOME Funds,
and if approve staff will work on a proposed project to install the fourth house.
All units would still be in the City’s Brownfield TIF and any losses at sale would be
captures, and Community enCompass is still providing $320,000 of the total
$570,000 construction costs for the original three homes, as well as down
payment assistance and other potential services to income qualified buyers,
below 80% AMI.
AMOUNT REQUESTED:         $250,000     AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A (ARP Funds)
STAFF REOCMMENDATION:         To approve the amendment as presented and

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)

   1. Project Discussion, 2. Process and Strategy, 3. Communication Plan

Staff updated the Commission on the City’s allocation of the federal American Rescue
Plan Act (ARP) funds. Staff is seeking Commission input on a strategy for identifying
and evaluating projects & ways to engage our neighbors to communicate these efforts.

Many beneficial projects and investments that can and should be made with these funds
– whether they are funded through our ARP allotment or other sources of stimulus
funds. The City’s $22.8M ARP allocation does not meet all needs and we expect to be
more strategic with our funding recommendations.

A community needs survey was previously presented to gather initial community input.
An internal team was assembled to work through the development of a strategy for
identifying potential uses that the community would support and embrace.

Additional funding sources outside of ARPA exist for many community needs, and a
screening process should be used to test each option to ensure ARP is the best funding
source. Staff also sought Commission input regarding communication with the public
(presenting and receiving information) to ensure this once-in-a-lifetime funding creates
the greatest long-term community benefit. Our focus is on the sustainability and
longevity of using these funds.

Adjourned:          The Special Meeting of the City Commission adjourned at 5:03 p.m.

Brief Summary: Staff is requesting authorization to contract with Muskegon Quality Builders for the
construction of a new pavilion at Beukema Park.

Detailed Summary:

pavilion at Beukema Park. Staff then solicited bids for the construction of the specified pavilion.
One (1) bid was received for the project from Muskegon Quality Builders.


   •   Muskegon Quality Builders – $69,900.00

Commission Meeting Date: March 22, 2022               Title: Pavement Markings

Submitted By: Dan VanderHeide                         Department: Public Works

Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to contract with Michigan Pavement Markings, LLC for pavement
marking services throughout the City during the 2022 construction season.

Detailed Summary:
The Muskegon County Road Commission regularly bids the installation of pavement markings for
many municipalities in the County, including the City, and has done so again in 2022. The County
received two bids; Michigan Pavement Markings, LLC was the low bidder and the County has
awarded them a contract.
Traditionally, the City has had linear pavement markings refreshed throughout the entire City each
spring, and this year requests $25,525.00 to do so again, as detailed on the attached pricing sheet.
This year, the Laketon corridor from Lakeshore to Creston, also needs to have the “special” markings
refreshed (left turn arrows, crosswalks, stop bars, etc.) at a cost of $13,020.00 as detailed.
The City regularly has reason to perform miscellaneous marking to change problem areas, to remark
areas destroyed by construction work, and to refresh fading markings late in the season. Staff
requests a 25% contingency on the contract ($9,636.25) to cover these costs.

Amount Requested: $48,181.25                         Amount Budgeted: $48,181.25 (FY22-23)

Fund(s) or Account(s): 202-60440-5346                Fund(s) or Account(s): 202-60440-5346

Commission Meeting Date: March 22, 2022                Title: Street Sweeping

Submitted By: Dan VanderHeide                          Department: Public Works

Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to contract with Tri-US Services, Inc. for street sweeping services
throughout the City during the 2022 season.

Detailed Summary:
Tri-US Services has been performing street sweeping services for the City for the last 4 years based
on a 2018 bid, with the 2021 year contracted under an optional extension to the original 3-year
contract. For 2022, due to staff turnover and with the support of Tri-US Services, staff proposes a
special purchase by extending the contract an additional year. Tri-US Services has agreed to extend
their pricing from the 2018 bid, adding a 1.58% Fuel Surcharge, for a total of $255,000 for the City’s
major and local streets.
MDOT contracts with the City for sweeping of the trunklines within the City via reimbursement, and
the City has historically used the same bid contract for trunkline sweeping. Due to the proposed
contract extension/special purchase, MDOT requested that staff seek quotes for the trunkline portion
of the contract. Staff solicited quotes from Tri-US Services, Sanisweep of Grand Rapids, and Curbco
of Flint, the same companies that requested bid packages in 2018. Tri-US Services and Sanisweep
submitted pricing, with Tri-US Services price of $18,315 being the same as their 2018 bid price, and
the lowest received. Staff recommends the trunkline portion be awarded to Tri-US Services at
$18,315 and MDOT will again reimburse the City for the trunkline portions.
The total street sweeping contract request is $273,315 for the 2022 season, plus a charge of $150.00
per hour for special requests, used for things like events and construction sweeping.

Amount Requested: $273,315.00                         Amount Budgeted: $2,037,262

Fund(s) or Account(s): 101-60523-5300                 Fund(s) or Account(s): 101-60523-5300

Recommended Motion:
Authorize staff to contract with Tri-US Services, Inc. in the amount of $273,315.00 for street
sweeping services throughout the City, including state trunklines, for the 2022 season.

Submitted By: Dave Alexander                           Department: Economic Development

Brief Summary: The City Commission must recommend approval of the Michigan Liquor Control
Commission permits of participating licensed establishments in the Downtown Muskegon Social
District.

2021 on the arena’s old license. With the new DDA license, the city needs to make a new social
district permit application. City staff is seeking a Social District permit from the state and seeking
City Commission recommended approval. There are new licensed establishments within the
district that may file a Social District permit application in the future.

Amount Requested: None                                Amount Budgeted:

Re: Proposal for Concerts in the Park Presented by Lakeshore Legacy Project.



To the Commission,


Lakeshore Legacy Project, a newly established, Muskegon based, 501c3 fighting income
inequality, is proposing a partnership between the City of Muskegon and Lakeshore Legacy
Project to launch a new music initiative and aid in the redevelopment of the downtown corridor.
We are working to add opportunities for the city’s residents, and in particular our youth, to
engage and experience local culture and music stigma free. This free event will attract crowds
from the tri-cities region and boost business in the area. 


LLP is proposing a 9 week 10 concert series every Saturday in June and July featuring different
genres weekly at The Muskegon Social Sand Box. All concerts will be free to attend and
sponsored through a public/private partnership between the DDA and LLP. Performers will
include regional performers and local favorites.


We propose the Muskegon DDA match funds raised through the Lakeshore Legacy Project
dollar for dollar and partner with LLP on promotional activities benefitting both entities. We
foresee a deep integration between Parties in the park, the We Discover Event, and Concerts in
the Park that benefit all three organizations. Our proposed schedule of events below blend with
and expand on the current roster of events scheduled for later this year.


Proposed concert dates in June are June 4th, June 11th, June 18th, and June 25th. Dates in
July are Friday July 1st and Saturday July 2nd, July 9th, July 16th, July 23rd, and July 30th.

Lakeshore Legacy Project will plan, organize, insure, staff, and otherwise manage all activities
related to this event. 


We look forward to presenting our proposal at your earliest convenience. 


Sincerely,


Robert Lopez

                                      Planning Commission Excerpt

Hearing, Case 2022-06: Staff initiated request to amend Section 2331 of the zoning ordinance to allow
temporary marihuana events at 470 W Western Ave and 1800 Peck St.

SUMMARY
   1. Temporary marihuana events are currently only allowed in the original marihuana facilities overlay
      district and at 420 S Harvey St, 863 E Apple Ave, 885 E Apple Ave, 795 E Apple Ave, 925 S Getty St
      and 920 Washington Ave. See map below.
   2. Staff has received may requests to hold temporary events in other areas of the city. In order to
      accommodate a reasonable number of events, staff is proposing to allow them at the arena and Marsh
      Field.
   3. City policy would dictate where on-site people could consume and by which method (i.e. smoking,
      edibles).
   4. To hold a temporary marihuana event, a registered temporary marihuana event coordinator must apply
      for a license with the State of Michigan.
   5. At the arena, the area would include the entire arena parcel, which also includes the outside area that
      extends to the western portion of the shared entrance with the convention center.
   6. Please see the marijuana facilities overlay district ordinance excerpt (enclosed).
   7. Notices were sent to everyone within 300 feet of this property. At the time of this writing, staff had
      not received any comments from the public.

Commission Meeting Date: 3/22/22                         Title: Adelaide Pointe Development
                                                         Agreement Restated

Submitted By: Jake Eckholm                               Department: Development Services

Brief Summary: The interest in Adelaide Pointe has caused the developer to request a faster
timeline on the installation of public infrastructure. In order to coordinate this accelerated timeline
with the sites private and public engineering, environmental permitting, and construction phases,
we have amended the agreement to place responsibility for the installation of the public
infrastructure on the developer with city oversight.

Detailed Summary: The structure of this development agreement is quite different than other
recent projects due to the large amount of new public infrastructure that is required to build out the
project. We would essentially be funding the roads, water, sewer and other public amenities for a
whole new district of the Nims neighborhood and an extension/connection of downtown to the
lakefront. Due to increased interest in the development by possible owners/investors, we have
reframed the timing of installations of various project phases, and placed responsibility for the
construction of our roads, water, and sewer on the developer. The city will still bond the same
amount to finance these, and retain a third party engineering firm to sign off on all scopes and
have onsite construction inspections to insure the assets are built to public standards. The other
financial structures, parks improvements, and special assessments remain the same, we are
strictly moving the buildout responsibility to the developer to increase efficiency, as the commercial
building and marina are progressing ahead of schedule.

Amount Requested: $0                                    Amount Budgeted: N/A

Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A                              Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A

Recommended Motion: To approve the amended and restated Adelaide Pointe Development
Agreement as presented, and authorize the Mayor to sign.
