MINUTES

Emory
Absent: Commissioners Hood and Ramsey
Transportation Asset Management Plan
Public Act 325 of 2018 began a process which requires all road maintaining
agencies with at least 100 centerline miles to prepare and have on file with the state
a Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) that is updated every three years.
To that end, and recognizing the value of asset management principles applied to
City infrastructure, the Commission authorized Prein & Newhof to create a plan for
the City at the May 24, 2022 meeting.
As defined by the act, asset management is “an ongoing process of maintaining,
preserving, upgrading, and operating physical assets cost effectively, based on a
continuous physical inventory and condition assessment and investment to achieve
established performance goals.” In more practical terms the plan provides a
detailed inventory of roads, bridges, culverts and traffic signals in the City, sets goals
for maintaining the overall condition of the City’s transportation infrastructure, and
makes recommendations on how to achieve the goals in the context of the funds
expected to be available.
Staff will present the plan that is required to be submitted to the State, discuss it’s
benefits and recommendations, and outline the process going forward that will allow
staff, in consultation with Prein & Newhof, to develop a more comprehensive Capital
Improvement Plan that takes into account all of the City’s major infrastructure asset
categories (water, sewer, drainage and roadways).
Dan VanderHeide, Deputy Director of the Department of Public Works, provided
background of why we need a Transportation Asset Management Plan and introduced
Barb Marczak, Team Leader for the Prein & Newhof Muskegon office. She has
addressed the commission in the past, talking about Asset Management. Barbara and
Connie, another team lead for Prein & Newhof, presented an overview of the
Transportation Asset Management Plan that will be on the agenda for consideration on
October 11, 2022.
Storm Water Management Ordinance
The City has used the Muskegon County Drain Commissioner’s Office for storm water
management reviews of new development since about October of 2016. In 2021 the
City began the process of taking back management of our own storm water reviews to
increase quality and control over the process and to speed review times. Staff has
been working with ENG. Inc. to prepare a new storm water ordinance that will allow the
City to formally take back control of storm water management with an ordinance and
other documents in compliance with our state permitting requirements and EGLE
procedures. The City attorney has reviewed the ordinance.
The new ordinance will be presented for review, together with the far more in-depth
storm water procedures manual that governs how the ordinance is enforced. Both
documents will require review by the state, however in a quirk of procedure the state
will not review or approve the documents until adopted. Given the similarity of these
documents and rules to those of other Muskegon County governments and similar
governments throughout the state, staff and the consultant anticipate minimal
comments from the state, if any.
Developers will see little change to the process, as the new ordinance and rules are
designed very similar to the County standards we now use, and reviews will continue to
be performed by ENG. Inc., the same consultant that performs reviews for the County.
What changes do occur are anticipated to be positive to both the City and developers,
with the goal of increasing service and practicality of application.
Dan VanderHeide, Deputy Director of the Department of Public Works, presented
information on a proposed Storm Water Management Ordinance. Ryan, a
representative from ENG, Inc., the same consultant that performs review for the County,
was also present and provided an explanation of the role of ENG, Inc. in the City of
Muskegon.
Discussion took place and the Storm Water Management Ordinance will appear on the
agenda for the October 25, 2022 meeting.
Special Events Policy Changes
Staff is seeking guidance on potential changes to the special event policy and fee
waivers. Jacqui Erny, DPW Clerical Supervisor, presented information about events
that have taken place this past year and provided information about feedback that
has been received regarding some events logistics. Some proposed changes to the
fee waiver process are being presented.
Discussion took place regarding the proposed changes to the Special Events Policy
and this item will appear on the agenda for the October 25, 2022 meeting.
Marihuana Ordinance/Muskegon Social Equity Program
The Planning Commission and City Commission held a joint meeting on August 4
and discussed a variety of marihuana issues related to zoning. Please see the
enclosed packet from that meeting, with notes from the meeting in red. Staff is also
requesting to amend the Muskegon Social Equity Program to allow all social equity
applicants to be considered, not just those with a prior arrest. Staff would also like to
clarify how many grants an applicant may be awarded.
To qualify as a State of Michigan social equity recipient, an individual must meet one
of the following qualifying criteria:
1. Residency in a disproportionately impacted community for at least five
cumulative years.
2. Misdemeanor or felony conviction of a marihuana related offense.
3. Registration as a primary caregiver under the Michigan Marihuana Act for at least
two years between 2008 and 2017.
Mike Franzak, Planning Manager, presented information regarding the Muskegon Social
Equity Program and is seeking to expand access to grant funds for social equity
applicants as indicated above.
Discussion took place and this item will appear on the agenda for a regular meeting at a
later date.
Pere Marquette Parking & Boardwalk Improvements
Leo Evans, Director of Department of Public Works, presented a brief update on the
plans that are just getting developed in regards to the options for expanded parking and
boardwalk improvements within Pere Marquette Park.
Commission approved engineering for this project back in January of 2022 and
requested that staff undertake additional negotiations with the engineer to further
refine the project scope. That additional negotiation was not finalized until late April.
Survey was conducted in July and the preliminary design concepts were developed
in August/September.
Director Evans presented the preliminary designs and talked through a few of the
details about the project to provide the public and Commission and update on the
project.
Discussion regarding the project took place, the Department of Public Works will
continue to move forward and inform the commission as appropriate.
Parks and Rec Reorganization
LeighAnn Mieksell, Interim City Manager, is seeking input on a plan for the new Parks
and Recreation Department.
A team consisting of all four division heads, the clerk, and the parks supervisor have
been discussing how best to organize the new Parks and Recreation Department.
There are interim and future charts showing the proposal for the new department
and the changes to the City Clerk’s office.
Parks and Rec Interim: The new department head position reports to the Public
Works Director, and the new department will include three focus areas.
Recreational programming will include coordination with existing programs until a
new supervisor position can be funded. Special event coordination will fall under the
new department.
Parks and Rec Future: Once a new supervisor is hired and funding is available for
additional staff, the new department will include recreational programming,
neighborhood appearance, special event coordination, as well as city run events.
City Clerk Interim: There are no changes proposed to this department in the interim.
City Clerk Future: Once staff are added to the Parks and Recreation Department,
city run events will be moved to the new department. At this time, the group agrees
that the Farmer’s Market and Western Market should be retained with the City Clerk
into the future.
The leadership team seeks input from the commission on this proposal. Leadership will
work together to determine details, phasing, and timing for implementation.
Discussion took place regarding the Reorganization and leadership staff will continue to
discuss and craft a transition plan.
Public Comment: Public comments were received.
Adjournment: The City of Muskegon Worksession meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.

D. Combination Sewer Truck Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The equipment division is seeking approval to
purchase one (900 ECO) Combination Sewer Truck from Fredrickson Supply
within the Sourcewell Contract in the amount of $565,555.00.
Currently we have two combination sewer trucks that are each approaching
15 years of age and are due for replacement. The existing trucks require
extensive upkeep and maintenance and have surpassed their useful life. In
the future we are looking to shorten the length of use for this piece of
equipment and only maintain one active combination sewer truck in our
fleet but cycle it through for replacement on a more frequent basis to lessen
the maintenance costs and increase operational efficiencies.
Delivery of the truck and payments are estimated at least 1 year out from
date of order.
Staff originally budgeted to finance this vehicle over 5-years with the first
payment amount shown in the 22/23 budget. Given the rapid increase in
interest rates staff plans to re-evaluate the available financing mechanisms
to best make this purchase. As noted below the first payments will not be
Page 3 of 6
due until next fiscal year which allows us additional time to research those
options.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $565,555 (23/24) AMOUNT BUDGETED: $107,000 (22/23)
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 661-563-971
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the purchase of a new 900 ECO
Combination Sewer Truck from Fredrickson Supply in the amount of
$565,555.00
Motion by Commissioner Emory, second by Commissioner St. Clair, to authorize
the purchase of a new 900 ECO Combination Sewer Truck from Fredrickson
Supply in the amount of $565,555.00

Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
E. Parks Donation Policy DPW/Parks
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff previously presented a new policy related to
donations made towards the City Parks at the August Work Session meeting.
Staff has made noted revisions to the document and returns it for further
discussion and/or adoption. Major revisions made are as follows:
• Added language to the “Donation Cost” section that allowed for City
to partner on specific projects at the discretion of the Parks and
Recreation Director when those projects are deemed to be in
extensive mutual interest to both the donor and the City Park system.
Intended to provide a mechanism for shared cost on select donation
items when appropriate.
• Added language to the “Donation Term” section that encouraged
donors to partner with the CFFMC on donations that are intended to
exist in perpetuity.
Added language to the “Donation Term” section to define an Act of God.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Donation Policy for City Parks
Motion by Commissioner Emory, second by Commissioner St. Clair, to approve
the Donation Policy for City Parks with Type 1 donation requests that are
approved for locations within the Beachwood Bluffton neighborhood parks to be
charged double the actual cost as outlined in the policy, the additional
proceeds generated will be used to provide matching amenities to parks in
other areas of the city that have not traditionally received as high of demand for
donations.

G. Firefighting Turnout Set Public Safety/Fire
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Fire Department is seeking approval to
purchase ten (10) sets of firefighting turnout gear. Each set is comprised of a
coat and pants with suspenders. The current sets are worn and contain PFAS

purchase if turnout gear.

Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
2022-91 NEW BUSINESS:
A. Ordinance Amendment – Reduced Housing Unit Size Minimums
Planning
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff-initiated request to amend section 2319 of the
zoning ordinance to reduce the minimum size requirements for single-family
houses, rowhomes, duplexes and small multiplexes (up to 6 units) from 850 sf of
floor area to 550 sf (total) and to also change the minimum size requirements for
large multiplexes (6 units and above), mixed-use buildings and accessory
dwelling units from 650 sf of floor area to 375 sf (total).
A motion to recommend approval of the original request failed by a 2-3 vote
at the August 11 Planning Commission meeting. At the august 23 City
Commission meeting, staff requested to remove the item from the agenda in
order to make some changes to the proposal and bring back to Planning
Commission. The proposal was amended and brought back to the Planning
Commission at their September 15 meeting, where they recommended
approval of the new amendments by a 6-1 vote.
Page 5 of 6
The changes to the original amendment include requiring an additional 100 sf
for each additional bedroom; additional language stating that all units located
in single-family residential districts must comply with Section 400 of the zoning
ordinance, which will prevent single-family houses from being split into
additional units. It should also be noted that the current minimum housing size is
measured by “floor area,” which is defined by the zoning ordinance as “the
area in a dwelling unit included in the determination of occupancy restrictions.
It includes the sum of floor areas of bedrooms, and common living areas. The
floor area of storage areas and closet, basements without a second egress,
attached garages, breezeways, and enclosed and unenclosed porches shall
be excluded.” Staff is proposing to no longer use this method in determining the
minimum size, but rather by measuring from the outside wall of the unit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request to amend section 2319 of
the zoning ordinance to reduce the minimum size requirements for single-
family houses, rowhomes, duplexes and small multiplexes (up to 6 units) from
850 sf of floor area to 550 sf (total) and to also change the minimum size
requirements for large multiplexes (6 units and above), mixed-use buildings
and accessory dwelling units from 650 sf of floor area to 375 sf (total).
Motion by Commissioner Ramsey, second by Commissioner Hood, to approve
the request to amend section 2319 of the zoning ordinance to reduce the
minimum size requirements for single-family houses, rowhomes, duplexes and
small multiplexes (up to 6 units) from 850 sf of floor area to 550 sf (total) and to
also change the minimum size requirements for large multiplexes (6 units and
above), mixed-use buildings and accessory dwelling units from 650 sf of floor
area to 375 sf (total).

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: November 7, 2022 Title: Arena Lease – Carlisle’s
Submitted By: Jake Laime Department: Arena Director
Brief Summary: Seeking approval of the amended lease with Carlisle’s at the Trinity Health Arena.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Amendment of Section 6 of the Agreement for Management of a Portion of a Licensed Premises
Pursuant to Participating Agreement.
To reflect the following:
Construction costs paid by Carlisle and/or reimbursed to the City of Muskegon in the amount of
$439,219.91, will result in a use credit to Carlisle at the rate of $7.00 per month for each $1,000 of
construction costs incurred together with interest on the unreimbursed construction costs calculated
at the rate of 5% per annum. Any unused credit for the month shall roll over and be added to the
total available use credit in subsequent months. These credits shall continue monthly for the term
of this Agreement and any extensions thereof to and until such time as the use credit is fully utilized
and amortized.
In the original agreement the construction cost was $650,000.00. However, we are reducing the
credit costs by $210,780.09 due to construction overages by Carlisle’s. Allowing Carlisle’s to utilize
to credit saves the City $279,259.64 in accrued interest thru 2040.

Muskegon at least 15 days before the end of each month an income statement
certified by an officer or manager of Carlisle setting forth its net profits of the prior
period. Carlisle grants to the City of Muskegon the right at all reasonable times to have
access to all books, accounts, records, and reports that may be kept by Carlisle
showing all financial information related to the operation of the Restaurant. If a review
discloses any discrepancy in the net profits, the parties shall mutually agree on a
Certified Public Accountant to review the financial statements and records of Carlisle
and determine the net profits. Such determination shall be binding on the parties.
6. MONTHLY USE PAYMENT. In consideration of this Agreement, Carlisle shall pay
monthly Use Payment to the City of Muskegon in an amount equal to $3,645.83
during the initial Term. Provided, each subsequent five-year renewal option
thereafter, the applicable monthly Use Payment will be adjusted as follows:
a. Option #1 $4,229.17
b. Option #2 $4,666.67
c. Option #3 $4,958.33
d. Option #4 $5,250.00
e. Option #5 $5,541.67
3
f. Option #6 $5,833.33
Construction costs paid by Carlisle and/or reimbursed to the City of Muskegon in the
amount of $439,219.91, will result in a use credit to Carlisle at the rate of $7.00 per
month for each $1,000 of construction costs incurred together with interest on the
unreimbursed construction costs calculated at the rate of 5% per annum. Any unused
credit for the month shall roll over and be added to the total available use credit in
subsequent months. These credits shall continue monthly for the term of this
Agreement and any extensions thereof to and until such time as the use credit is fully
utilized and amortized.
7. ADJUSTMENT OF MONTHLY USE PAYMENT. The monthly Use Payment shall be
adjusted upon the following events and upon the following terms:
i. Professional Hockey, Football, and Soccer Games. The amount of monthly use fee
shall periodically increase during months when there occur in the Arena USHL hockey,
professional football, and/or professional soccer games. The amount of such increase
shall be the sum of $500 per USHL hockey event day, $400 per professional football
event day, and $400 per professional soccer event day that takes place at the Arena
during a given month, and shall be paid with the payment of the following month's use
payment. For example, if during the term of this Agreement there are five hockey
events and two football events at the Arena during the month of January, Carlisle's
use fee for the month of February would be increased by $3,300 ($500 x five hockey
events ($2,500) + $400 x two football events ($800) = $3,300). Carlisle shall have no
further obligation to provide financial support or sponsorship to any event using the
Mercy Health Arena. If Carlisle can reasonably demonstrate that events held in the
Arena other than USHL hockey, professional football, and professional soccer,
negatively impact the gross sale of Carlisle, Carlisle shall not be obligated to pay a
temporary rent increase for any such other events.
ii. Suspension of Liquor License. In the event that the License issued by the MLCC
shall be suspended, Use Payments shall be suspended pro rata during such
suspension term.
8. CONTRIBUTION TO OVERHEAD AND MAINTENANCE. Carlisle shall also pay to
the City of Muskegon a contribution for overhead utilities not separately metered and
maintenance costs in an amount equal to $1,750 per month during the initial Term.
9. UTILITY COSTS. City shall pay all charges for gas, electricity, water, power,
telephone, cable television and internet service used, rendered or supplied upon or in
connection with the Carlisle Space. City shall have the discretion to set the level of
cable service provided within the Carlisle Space. Carlisle may request that the City
upgrade such services, with the additional associated costs added to Carlisle's
contribution to overhead and maintenance as outlined in Section 8 of this Agreement.
10. ASSIGNMENT. Carlisle shall not assign this Agreement without prior written consent
of the City of Muskegon and the MLCC. Such approval and consent shall not
4
unreasonably be withheld by the City of Muskegon and shall be subject to the rules

Muskegon determined that it was necessary to do so in order to preserve the
structural safety of the Carlisle Space to correct any condition likely to cause injuries
or damages to persons or property.

17. RISK OF LOSS, During the term of this lease, and any extension or renewal thereof,
the risk of loss with respect to all risks insurable under a fire and extended coverage
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the laws of the State of Michigan,
together with the risk of loss with respect to all uninsurable losses to the premises
which are subject to the control or prevention by Carlisle, shall rest upon Carlisle.
18. SUBROGATION. Carlisle, its officers, agents, or employees shall not be liable for
damage to the Leased Premises or for interruption of rent resulting from any of the
perils covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, or which would be covered if
such insurance were in force, and the City of Muskegon agrees not to sue for such
damage and that every applicable policy of insurance will contain or be endorsed with
the standard waiver of subrogation clause. The City of Muskegon shall not be liable
for damage to the property or business of Carlisle in or on the Carlisle Space resulting
from any of the perils covered if such insurance were in force, and Carlisle agrees not
to sue for such damage and that every applicable policy of insurance will contain or

insuring the City of Muskegon and Carlisle with minimum coverage as follows:
$1,000,000.00. Carlisle shall provide the City of Muskegon with a Certificate of

agree that each insurance policy shall provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days written
notice of cancellation to the City of Muskegon. Carlisle shall also be responsible for
a portion of the cost of the liquor liability insurance purchased by the City of Muskegon

21. ABANDONMENT OF CARLISLE SPACE. If Carlisle shall abandon or vacate the
Carlisle Space, or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, the City of
Muskegon shall have the right to declare this Agreement is terminated. In such event,
any personal property belonging to Carlisle left within the Carlisle Space shall be
7
deemed to be abandoned, and the City of Muskegon shall be permitted to dispose of
such personal property as it deems appropriate.
22. INSOLVENCY. In the event that a receiver shall be appointed to take over the
Carlisle's business, and such receivership is not dismissed within sixty (60) days or in
the event that the Carlisle shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors,

same shall constitute breach of this Agreement by Carlisle.
23. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. Subject to the provisions in Paragraph 25, The
City of Muskegon, at its option, may declare this Agreement terminated in its entirety
upon the happening of any one or more of the following events:

Carlisle is financially responsible, shall be unpaid thirty (30) days from the date that
they become due;

one time, except when such abandonment and cessation is due to fire, earthquake,
governmental action, default of the City of Muskegon, or other cause beyond it
control;
c. If Carlisle shall use or permit the use of the Carlisle Space at any time for any
purpose for which the use was not authorized by this Agreement or by a subsequent
written agreement between the parties after written notice and opportunity to cure;

this Agreement by Carlisle, the City of Muskegon may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement and recover from Carlisle: (a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid
monthly Use Payment which would have been earned at the time of termination; (b)
the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid monthly Use
Payment which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award
exceeds the amount of such loss of use that the Carlisle proves could have been
reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid monthly Use Payment for the balance of the term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such loss of use that Carlisle proves could be reasonably
avoided.
The City of Muskegon may, in the alternative, continue this Agreement in effect, as
long as the City of Muskegon does not terminate Carlisle's right to use and
management, and the City of Muskegon may enforce all his rights and remedies
under this Agreement, including the right to recover the monthly Use Payment under

Recommended Motion: To approve the request to amend Section 2331 of the zoning ordinance to
reduce signage restrictions on marihuana businesses and to allow drive-thru marihuana facilities
with the conditions listed as proposed.
Planning Commission Excerpt:
SUMMARY
1. This Marihuana Facilities Overlay District currently restricts drive-thru’s at retail facilities. Curbside
sales are also prohibited, but enforcement was relaxed during the pandemic.
2. Staff has not received any complaints in the time that curbside sales have been allowed.
3. Many businesses have noted that they are in favor of allowing drive-thru’s at retail facilities. The
State of Michigan recently amended the statute to allow for them.
4. Staff recommends that drive-thru’s are only allowed in areas with heavy vehicular traffic and not
allowed in downtown, where drive-thru’s are restricted.
5. Staff also recommends that there is proper maneuvering room for vehicles to be granted the special
use permit. This will eliminate some of the existing marihuana retailers because of how their
properties are already set up.
Existing Ordinance:
SECTION 2331: MARIHUANA FACILITIES OVERLAY DISTRICT
B. Grower, Excess Grower, and Processor Requirements:
1. Signage. Signage shall be limited to one sign, no larger than 25 square feet and shall not use the

would depict marihuana/marijuana be displayed on a sign or any part of the building.
C. Provisioning Center, Retailer, Microbusiness and Designated Consumption Establishment
Requirements:
1. Signage. Signage shall be limited to one sign, no larger than 25 square feet and shall not use the

would depict marihuana/marijuana be displayed on a sign or any part of the building.
4. Indoor Activities. All activities of a provisioning center shall be conducted within the structure and
out of public view. Walk-up and drive thru windows are not permitted.
Proposed Ordinance:
B. Grower, Excess Grower, and Processor Requirements:

Commission Meeting Date: November 7, 2022 Title: Landscaping RFP
Submitted By: Leo Evans Department: Public Works
Brief Summary: Staff requests authorization to issue a request for proposals to obtain pricing to
transition a number of downtown landscaping areas to private contract.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Staff has worked with the Downtown BID, DDA, Chamber of Commerce, Lakeside BID and other
stakeholders to develop the attached RFP that covers a wide array of landscaping services currently
provided through the City Parks Department. There is a desire among the stakeholders to improve
the level of service being provided and a desire among city staff to free up staffing resources that are
currently expended for the services to improve service in other areas of the city parks. Issuing the
RFP will be the next step in exploring that prospect by obtaining prices from interested firms to further
inform future decisions.
The RFP proposes to obtain prices for nine (9) identified areas as follows, with each area having a
distinct scope of work and a proposed assigned cost share. The baseline RFP proposes a 3-year
contract with optional extensions for a 4th and 5th year.
• Western Avenue
• Hackley Park
• 3rd Street (Midtown)
• City Hall Grounds
• Farmers Market Grounds
• Shoreline Drive
• Scatter Flower Pots / Planters
• Citywide Irrigation Startup / Shutdown
• Lakeside BID
Once bids are obtained for the work the responsible entities will reconvene to review pricing and
make a determination on future recommendations. Future decision may have cost implications for the
City, DDA, BID, and established care funds at the Community Foundation; however there is no cost
implication to issue the RFP and obtain bids.

Project Description
A. Provide a concise description of project scope and how the project addresses the impacts and
vulnerabilities presented by severe weather events, with a focus on projects that address flooding,
coastline erosion, urban heat, and stormwater management.
Project scope includes completion of Phase 1 of the attached master planning document to restore
safe and accessible beach access at Kruse Park. The original access at the site was destroyed by
coastline erosion during the high water levels on Lake Michigan in 2019 and 2020, the continued use
of the site by the public has led to erosion of the critical dune in the area. The proposed project
takes into account the higher levels of fluctuation expected within the great lakes and seeks to utilize
construction elements that will provide greater resiliency and restoration of the critical dunes.
B. Provide a detailed description of the proposed project tasks, activities, outcomes, and work
products. The description should fully explain the details of each task and provide greater context
to information supplied in the Project Tasks and Schedule section. Descriptions should include
details on project readiness and transferability of project results.
The project includes all items identified in Phase 1 of the attached master plan document; which
includes demolition of the remaining sections of the lower portion of the beach access walkway, and
construction of a new beach access ramp/stair combo. The new access will confine the erosion that
is resulting from pedestrians traversing the dune and allow the eroded areas to be restored with
native plantings. The project has gone through extensive master planning with the community to
reach the level it is currently at and is ready to be pushed forward into design/permitting.
C. Provide a description of the source of secured or committed (20%) match funds with letters of
commitment from each source. A letter from each entity contributing match, with amount
specified, must be received alongside the application.
Matching funds will be provided by the City of Muskegon General Fund.
D. Provide a description of how the proposed project leverages other technical and/or financial
resources.
The project will restore access to the beach that has been fully lost as a result of coastal erosion.
The site serves as the City of Muskegon Dog Beach which was a regional attraction for visitors.
Kruse Park itself falls within the area where the city charges for parking, so improving amenities at
this site will in turn attract more visitors and generate additional revenue for the city to help support
the implementation of other parks capital projects within the city.
E. Provide a description of your organizational capability to administer the grant; including outlining
the qualifications of all individuals anticipated to work on the project tasks with indication of their
roles and responsibilities of oversight of contractual service providers.
The project will be led by the Department of Public Works which includes a staff of 2 registered
professional engineers and an 4 staff within the engineering department. The staff routinely delivers
a large capital program and has successfully delivered previous state grant projects through
MDEGLE, MDNR, and MDOT. City staff will provide oversight and administration and anticipates
consulting to develop the site specific plans, permit, and bid package necessary for the project.

expense, the DEPARTMENT shall promptly submit to the REQUESTING PARTY a Notice of
Audit Results and a copy of the audit report which may supplement or modify any tentative
findings verbally communicated to the REQUESTING PARTY at the completion of an audit.
Within sixty (60) days after the date of the Notice of Audit Results, the REQUESTING
PARTY shall: (a) respond in writing to the responsible Bureau or the DEPARTMENT indicating
whether or not it concurs with the audit report, (b) clearly explain the nature and basis for any
disagreement as to a disallowed item of expense, and (c) submit to the DEPARTMENT a written

item of expense. Where the documentation is voluminous, the REQUESTING PARTY may
supply appropriate excerpts and make alternate arrangements to conveniently and reasonably
make that documentation available for review by the DEPARTMENT. The RESPONSE shall
refer to and apply the language of the contract. The REQUESTING PARTY agrees that failure
to submit a RESPONSE within the sixty (60) day period constitutes agreement with any
disallowance of an item of expense and authorizes the DEPARTMENT to finally disallow any
items of questioned or no opinion expressed cost.
01/23/03 TEDDIR.FOR 10/6/22 5
The DEPARTMENT shall make its decision with regard to any Notice of Audit Results
and RESPONSE within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Notice of Audit
Results. If the DEPARTMENT determines that an overpayment has been made to the
REQUESTING PARTY, the REQUESTING PARTY shall repay that amount to the
DEPARTMENT or reach agreement with the DEPARTMENT on a repayment schedule within
thirty (30) days after the date of an invoice from the DEPARTMENT. If the REQUESTING
PARTY fails to repay the overpayment or reach agreement with the DEPARTMENT on a
repayment schedule within the thirty (30) day period, the REQUESTING PARTY agrees that the
DEPARTMENT shall deduct all or a portion of the overpayment from any funds then or
thereafter payable by the DEPARTMENT to the REQUESTING PARTY under this contract or
any other agreement, or payable to the REQUESTING PARTY under the terms of 1951 PA 51,
as applicable. Interest will be assessed on any partial payments or repayment schedules based on
the unpaid balance at the end of each month until the balance is paid in full. The rate of interest
will be based on the Michigan Department of Treasury common cash funds interest earnings.
The rate of interest will be reviewed annually by the DEPARTMENT and adjusted as necessary
based on the Michigan Department of Treasury common cash funds interest earnings. The
REQUESTING PARTY expressly consents to this withholding or offsetting of funds under those
circumstances, reserving the right to file a lawsuit in the Court of Claims to contest the
DEPARTMENT’S decision only as to any item of expense the disallowance of which was
disputed by the REQUESTING PARTY in a timely filed RESPONSE.
The REQUESTING PARTY shall comply with the Single Audit Act of 1984, P.L.
998-502 and applicable State laws and regulations relative to audit requirements.
7. Upon completion of construction of the PROJECT, the REQUESTING PARTY
will cause to be enacted and enforced such ordinances or regulations as may be necessary to
prohibit parking in the roadway right-of-way throughout the limits of the PROJECT.
8. The REQUESTING PARTY certifies that it is not aware if and has no reason to
believe that the property on which the work is to be performed under this agreement is a facility,
as defined by the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act [(NREPA), PA
451, 1994, as amended 2012]; MCL 324.20101(1)(s). The REQUESTING PARTY also
certifies that it is not a liable party pursuant to either Part 201 or Part 213 of NREPA, MCL
324.20126 et seq. and MCL 324.21323a et seq. The REQUESTING PARTY is a local unit of
government that has acquired or will acquire property for the use of either a transportation
corridor or public right-of-way and was not responsible for any activities causing a release or
threat of release of any hazardous materials at or on the property. The REQUESTING PARTY
is not a person who is liable for response activity costs, pursuant to MCL 324.20101 (vv) and
(ww).
9. If, subsequent to execution of this contract, previously unknown hazardous
substances are discovered within the PROJECT limits, which require environmental remediation
pursuant to either State or federal law, the REQUESTING PARTY, in addition to reporting that
fact to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy , shall immediately
01/23/03 TEDDIR.FOR 10/6/22 6
notify the DEPARTMENT, both orally and in writing of such discovery. The DEPARTMENT
shall consult with the REQUESTING PARTY to determine if it is willing to pay for the cost of
remediation and to determine the eligibility, for reimbursement, of the remediation costs. The
REQUESTING PARTY shall pay all costs associated with such remediation, including all delay
costs of the contractor for the PROJECT. If the REQUESTING PARTY refuses to participate in
the cost of remediation, the amount of TED FUNDS the REQUESTING PARTY received from
Grant #1009 shall be forfeited back to the DEPARTMENT.
10. If State funds administered by the DEPARTMENT are used to pay the cost of
remediating any hazardous substances discovered after the execution of this contract and if there
is a reasonable likelihood of recovery, the REQUESTING PARTY, in cooperation with the
Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and the DEPARTMENT, shall
make a diligent effort to recover such costs from all other possible entities. If recovery is made,
the DEPARTMENT shall be reimbursed from such recovery for the proportionate share of the
amount paid by the DEPARTMENT and the DEPARTMENT shall credit such sums to the
appropriate funding source.
11. The DEPARTMENT'S sole reason for entering into this contract is to enable the
REQUESTING PARTY to obtain and use funds provided by the State.
Any and all approvals of, reviews of, and recommendations regarding contracts,
agreements, permits, plans, specifications, or documents, of any nature, or any inspections of
work by the DEPARTMENT pursuant to the terms of this contract are done to assist the
REQUESTING PARTY in meeting program guidelines in order to qualify for available funds.
Such approvals, reviews, inspections and recommendations by the DEPARTMENT shall not
relieve the REQUESTING PARTY and the local agencies, as applicable, of their ultimate
control and shall not be construed as a warranty of their propriety or that the DEPARTMENT is
assuming any liability, control or jurisdiction.
The providing of recommendations or advice by the DEPARTMENT does not relieve the
REQUESTING PARTY and the local agencies, as applicable, of their exclusive jurisdiction of
the highway and responsibility under MCL 691.1402 et seq., as amended.
When providing approvals, reviews and recommendations under this contract, the
DEPARTMENT is performing a governmental function, as that term is defined in MCL
691.1401 et seq. as amended, which is incidental to the completion of the PROJECT.
12. The DEPARTMENT, by executing this contract, and rendering services pursuant
to this contract, has not and does not assume jurisdiction of the highway, described as the
PROJECT for purposes of MCL 691.1402 et seq., as amended. Exclusive jurisdiction of such
highway for the purposes of MCL 691.1402 et seq., as amended, rest with the REQUESTING
PARTY and other local agencies having respective jurisdiction.
01/23/03 TEDDIR.FOR 10/6/22 7
13. The REQUESTING PARTY shall approve all of the plans and specifications to
be used on the PROJECT and shall be deemed to have approved all changes to the plans and
specifications when put into effect. It is agreed that ultimate responsibility and control over the
PROJECT rests with the REQUESTING PARTY and local agencies, as applicable.
Upon completion of the PROJECT, the REQUESTING PARTY shall accept the facilities
constructed as built to specifications within the contract documents. It is understood that the
REQUESTING PARTY shall own the facilities and shall operate and maintain the facilities in
accordance with all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations, including, but not limited
to, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 USC 12131 et seq., and its
associated regulations and standards, and DEPARTMENT Road and Bridge Standard Plans and
the Standard Specifications for Construction.
14. The REQUESTING PARTY agrees that the costs reported to the DEPARTMENT
for this contract will represent only those items that are properly chargeable in accordance with
this contract. The REQUESTING PARTY also certifies that it has read the contract terms and
has made itself aware of the applicable laws, regulations, and terms of this contract that apply to
the reporting of costs incurred under the terms of this contract.
15. Each party to this contract will remain responsible for any and all claims arising
out of its own acts and/or omissions during the performance of the contract, as provided by this
contract or by law. In addition, this is not intended to increase or decrease either party’s liability
for or immunity from tort claims. This contract is also not intended to nor will it be interpreted
as giving either party a right of indemnification, either by contract or by law, for claims arising
out of the performance of this contract.
16. In connection with the performance of PROJECT work under this contract the
parties hereto (hereinafter in Appendix “A” referred to as the “contractor”) agree to comply with
the State of Michigan provisions for “Prohibition of Discrimination in State Contracts,” as set
forth in Appendix A, attached hereto and made a part hereof. The parties further covenant that

require similar covenants on the part of any contractor or subcontractor employed in the
performance of this contract.

understand and agree that the highway(s) or street(s) being improved under the terms of this
agreement and funded with Transportation Economic Development Funds, shall not be subject to
any restriction by local authorities in using certain commercial vehicles on such highway(s) or

Development Program and Funding. The REQUESTING PARTY, by signing this agreement,
agrees to obtain concurrence from other local governmental agencies within whose jurisdiction
or control the highway(s) or street(s) are being improved.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: November 7, 2022 Title: Trash Compactors
Submitted By: Matt Schwemin, Parks Supervisor Department: Parks
Brief Summary: Staff requests authorization to sign a three-year lease for 14 self-compacting
trash receptacles at Pere Marquette and Margaret Drake Elliot parks.
Detailed Summary & Background:
These 50 gallon capacity, self-compacting units from Connect by BigBelly would enhance the
shoreline look and be one direct result of the paid for parking benefit. Not only will the units look
aesthetically pleasing as opposed to the current metal open face cans, but with a fully enclosed
system, less trash would blow out of the units onto the beach.
Current walkway pads allow for placement and not block those with ADA needs. The units are sturdy
in nature and can handle the winds and sands at the beach location according to the manufacturer.
The biggest goal with the three-year lease period is to not only see how much the cans get used, but
also to see how the units stand up to the elements. We will have the ability to extend the lease or
purchase units at the end of the three-year period.
Local suppliers can provide liners for the units. The manufacture does have a subsidiary in Kentucky
that can provide liners if need be. The units also provide options to advertise or brand; staff is still
discussing the pros and cons of this option and will proceed carefully, if at all. The units do connect to
the internet if available, and will notify staff of the need for emptying and include usage data.
During the off season, roughly October through April, we have enclosed storage available at Margaret
Drake Elliot for the units. Depending on how maneuverable they are and the installation needs, staff
is considering locating them downtown during the off season. The three-year lease provides annual
maintenance and troubleshooting, however placement of the units and removal each season would
depend on Parks staff. The units are large and would require heavy machinery to move.
Staff has performed a financial comparison, and while these units are about twice as expensive as
traditional receptacles we calculate we will recoup that cost and more by reducing the times they need
to be emptied and reducing litter cleanup in the area. The current budget includes $10,000 for these
units. The actual impact to this year’s budget will be approximately $4,549.11 (for three months of
lease payments). Future budgets will include for the exact lease amounts per fiscal year.

Amount Requested: $ 4,549.11 (FY22) Amount Budgeted: $10,000 (FY22)

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: November 7th, 2022 Title: LRS ARP Updated Construction
Agreement
Submitted By: Jake Eckholm Department: Development Services
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting that Commission amend the construction and development agreement with Mr.
Rubin Briggs, LRS Enterprises to accommodate a Priority Related Investment Loan from the
Community Foundation for Muskegon County.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Mr. Briggs proved capable of working with the city during the Jackson Hill Infill Housing Pilot,
where 2 homes on Leonard were constructed. Commission awarded LRS Enterprises with an ARP
agreement for 6 homes, with half the money from ARP and the other half from the developer’s own
financing. We have found this to be a hardship for smaller, minority owned builders who do not
have the access to capital of some of our larger partners.
In an effort to be equitable and not let a systemic barrier to our own program disqualify builders of
color, staff has secured a Priority Related Investment Loan from the Community Foundation for
Muskegon County to cover Mr. Briggs’ $750,000 of the original contract. This would be a loan in
the city’s name at prime (5.5%) plus 2 percent interest with a .5% increase on January 1, 2023,
and would be paid back first as the homes sell. Any additional profits from sale would go the Public
Improvement Fund. The updated purchase agreement reflects this PRI, which will return to the
Commission for final approval and signatures. The Act 99 Installment Purchase Agreement
agenda item on this docket is a precursor to the PRI approval.
Goal/Focus Area/Action Item Addressed:
Goal 1 (Image) Housing Focus Area, Goal 2 (Quality of Life) Housing Focus Area, Action Item 21-8
Expand Housing Options, Goal 3 (Revitalize Revenues) Social Equity Focus Area, Action Item 21-
11 Increase Opportunities for Minorities in Economic Development, and Goal 3 (Revitalize

Amount Requested: $750,000 Amount Budgeted: N/A
Fund(s) or Account(s): (101) to (404) Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A

principle balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate will be adjusted annually, and
