NEW BUSINESS
B. Muskegon Lake Development Joint Planning Manager's Office
Cindy Larsen, President of the Muskegon Chamber of Commerce, addressed
the commission to update them on a chamber-led initiative to further beautify
the lakeshore. The Chamber has been in contact with property owners, business
owners, and the county and city staff and is tentatively planning to have some
planning sessions in the spring. They will be seeking a $15,000 contribution from
the city toward the beautification project. They anticipate the planning of the
project to cost $60,000 - $80,000 with a focus on Heritage Landing, which is in
need of a "refresh". Discussions have taken place with the Smith Group that
worked on the Detroit River Walk project.
A. Greenhouse Gas Inventory - Preliminary Results Manager's Office
Peter Wills, Director of Government Relations and Strategic Operations
introduced representatives from Fishbeck. Fishbeck prepared a Greenhouse
Gas Inventory for Fiscal Year 2022. Last year the commission passed a resolution
supporting the effort to reduce emissions.
Page 1 of 3
Page 5 of 165
Represenatives from Fishbeck discussed the Preliminary Report of the City's
organization-wide Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory of our carbon footprint, as
prepared by Fishbeck. The City is committed to reducing its carbon footprint
while continuing to provide residents with efficient and superior infrastructure
and services. In April 2023, the Commission passed a resolution declaring the
City’s commitment to climate action initiatives and to combat the impact of
climate change on the community and planet. The City is dedicated to
reducing the risks of climate change by implementing actions that save money,
improve productivity, and lower GHG emissions. The City intends to reduce its
organizational GHG emissions through deliberative budget, policy, and
administrative actions.
In an effort to reduce GHG emissions, we must first understand our current
carbon footprint and the drivers of those emissions. The GHG Inventory will be
used to set target reductions with the goal of eliminating the City’s organization-
wide GHG emissions by 2040.
The City issued an RFP on 9/19/23 and selected Fishbeck to conduct this
Inventory on 10/16/23 at a cost of $18,000. The contracted work period was
from 10/17/23 - 12/11/23. The RFP called for a preliminary report to be delivered
for discussion with the commission by 1/8/24 and a final report submitted for
adoption in February.
https://muskegon-mi.gov/organizational-wide-greenhouse-gas-ghg-inventory/
A Fishbeck Representative reviewed the proposal in a presentation and
discussion took place. Stephanie Jarrett, Vice President - leads the Air Quality
Team and Jada Holmstrom is a quality engineer.
This is a baseline report, The baseline year is 2022, the last year that was audited.
There are some recommendations listed about how to reduce our carbon
footprint or green house gas emissions as an entity. It is recommended that we
track the infomaiton that they have collected in the various spread sheets -
tracking will be the best way to see how we're doing in achieving our goal of
net zero emissions.
The Mayor asked for an update as to what the next steps are for the committee
tasked with making these recommendations for reduction of emissions. Assistant
City Manager LeighAnn Mikesell and Director of Government Relations and
Strategic Operations Pete Wills will be taking this information back to the
workgroup.

No public comments were received
2024-08 CONSENT AGENDA
Motion by Commissioner German, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to accept the
Consent Agenda as presented, except items D, F, G, H, and J.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Gorman, Kochin, St.Clair, Johnson, Kilgo, Keener, and
German
Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
A. Approval of Minutes City Clerk
To approve the minutes of the December 11, 2023 Worksession, December 12,
2023 Commission Meeting, December 19, 2023 Special Meeting, and January 3,
2024 Organizational Meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the minutes.
B. Sanitary Sewer Easement - 381 E Laketon DPW- Engineering
Staff is requesting approval of an easement between the owners of 381 E
Laketon (Midwest V, LLC) and the City of Muskegon.
The City's sanitary sewer main runs east to west along the south edge of 381 E
Laketon. Originally, it was within an alley. The alley was vacated years ago.
Recent development of the property, re-building of the Dollar General, has
prompted cleaning up legal rights to maintain the sewer. Easement documents
have been prepared and signed by owners. Documents have been reviewed
and accepted by John Schrier.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the easement as presented and
authorize the Mayor to sign the easement with Midwest V, LLC.
C. Storm Water Maintenance Agreements DPW- Engineering
Staff seeks authority to sign Storm Water Maintenance Agreements when
submitted in accordance with the City's Storm Water Ordinance.
Per the City’s Storm Water Ordinance, developments are required to submit
post construction documents, one of which is a Storm Water Maintenance
Page 2 of 8
Page 9 of 165
Agreement. The agreement requires the property owner to maintain the private
storm water system and allows the City to enforce maintenance if the property
owner fails to do so. The agreement is needed because the private system
leads to the public system, and a failure to maintain the private system could
negatively impact the public system or the waters that the systems eventually
drain to. The agreement is required to be recorded at the County Register of
Deeds office and runs with the property. The general format of these
agreements has been reviewed and is acceptable to the attorney's office, and
these agreements are required by the State of Michigan under the City's MS4
stormwater permit.
Due to the number of agreements required each year (approximately one per
month), the fact that each agreement follows the same approved format, that
the agreements are only required on properties that follow the Site Plan
Approval process (including the public notifications and Commission action that
may be required under that process), and that the agreements are required
both by City ordinance and the City's state-required storm water permit, staff
requests permission to enter into these agreements. An example agreement is
included for reference.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the DPW Director, City Engineer, or Assistant
City Engineer to sign Storm Water Maintenance Agreements when submitted in
accordance with the City's Storm Water Ordinance. This approval shall remain
in place until the SWM Agreement is updated/changed.
E. Sale of 720 Leonard Avenue - REMOVED PER STAFF REQUEST Manager's
Office
I. Placement of Public Benches City Clerk
Tony Asmus recently purchased the agreement for the placement of the public
benches from Howell Sign Co. LLC. Staff has been working with the new owner
and is recommending approval of the new agreement. The agreement would
be for five years, and the cost would be $6 per month per bench. Currently,
there are 40 benches. Staff could work with the owner on the location and the
number of benches allowed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the agreement with Gus Benches
Advertising.
K. Amendment to the Sign Ordinance Planning
Staff initiated request to amend the form based code section of the zoning
ordinance to modify the regulations on projecting signs downtown. The
Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendment
by a 6-0 vote.
Page 3 of 8
Page 10 of 165
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request to modify the regulations on
projecting signs downtown as presented.
L. Comcast Franchise Agreement Manager's Office
The City's cable TV franchise agreement with Comcast has expired and needs
to be renewed. The City has 30 days from when Comcast submits the
agreement for renewal to approve the replacement agreement. Staff is
recommending a renewal of the franchise agreement without any changes to
the fees collected by the city. The agreement is for ten (10) years.
Following legislation adopted by the State of Michigan in the mid-2000s, the
negotiation of franchise agreements at the local level was largely standardized,
and not much flexibility was left to the communities beyond setting the
franchise fee. The City of Muskegon currently has a 5% franchise fee that is paid
by Comcast customers and passed on to the City. These funds can be used at
our discretion.
The City is not recommending any changes to the franchise fee rate. It should
also be noted the City could, but has historically elected not to, implement a
Public Education Government (PEG) fee in addition to the franchise fee. PEG
fees can only be used for the support of equipment for public access television.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Uniform Video Service Franchise
Agreement with Comcast as presented.
2024-09 REMOVED FROM CONSENT
D. Rezoning of 1993 Austin St Planning
Request to rezone the property at 1993 Austin St from B-4, General Business to R-
2, Single-Family Medium Density Residential, by Derek Masterman. The Planning
Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning at their
December 14 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request to rezone the property at
1993 Austin St from B-4, General Business to R-2, Single-Family Medium Density
Residential.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to approve the
request to rezone the property at 1993 Austin St from B-4, General Business to R-
2, Single-Family Medium Density Residential.

listing price with the seller to contribute 6% of purchase price towards buyers

multi-family residential units in previously existing commercial buildings not
already converted to residential in single-family zoning districts, as a special use
permitted. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of
the request at their December meeting.

zoning ordinance to allow multi-family residential units in previously existing
commercial buildings not already converted to residential in single-family
residential districts, as a special use permitted.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to approve the

MOTION PASSES
J. Filter Plant Tower Lease Changes Public Works
Staff requests authorization to enter into a lease with “Muskegon Cellular
Partnership By: Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless” to grant Verizon
space on the City’s cellular tower at the water filtration plant. In early 2021
Commission authorized the construction of a cellular communications tower at
the water filtration plant in the hope of spurring cellular companies to provide
better service in the extreme western part of the City, including the beach.
Since that time, staff has been working with Maralat Communications to entice
a cellular provider to locate on the tower. In late September of last year, the
Commission approved a lease agreement for the antenna. Since then, Verizon
has proposed new lease terms. The changes include:
• A reduction in monthly rent from $3,500 to $2,750.
• An extension of the first term from 5 years to 10 years, which brings the
total term, including extensions, to 30 years from 25 years.
• The addition of a penalty if Verizon cancels during the first 10-year term,
the penalty being one year's full rent.
• The other terms, including the 2% annual escalator, remain unchanged.
Page 6 of 8
Page 13 of 165
While the net income to the water fund is slightly reduced ($1,345,273 previously,
now $1,338,747 for a reduction of $6,526), the total term of the agreement is
extended and the income from the first 10-year term is more secure. The need
for service in this part of the community is still high, so staff recommends
approval of the revised agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the presented lease with Muskegon Cellular
Partnership by: Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, and authorize the
Mayor to sign.
Motion by Vice Mayor St.Clair, second by Commissioner Keener, to approve the
presented lease with Muskegon Cellular Partnership by: Cellco Partnership
d/b/a Verizon Wireless, and authorize the Mayor to sign.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: St.Clair, Johnson, Kilgo, Keener, German, Gorman, Kochin

recommended to be readopted by each commission going forward.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Readopt the City of Muskegon Ethics Policy as
presented.
Motion by Vice Mayor St.Clair, second by Commissioner Keener, to readopt the

language to the City Manager or their designee. When the Lakeside BID was
created, one of the board seats was intended for the City Manager. Because of
meeting times, it can be a challenge for the City Manager to attend the
meeting, which can create an issue with a quorum. The City Manager is asking
that the City staff representative to the Lakeside BID be given a bit more
flexibility to be the City Manager or their designee.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Appoint the City Manager or their designee to the
Lakeside BID board.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to appoint the

PURCHASE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Purchase and Development Agreement (“Agreement”) is made January 23, 2024 (“Effective
Date”), between the City of Muskegon, a Michigan municipal corporation, of 933 Terrace Street,
Muskegon, Michigan 49440 (“City”), and Caleb Schuyten, of 6751 14 Mile Road, Rockford, MI, 49341,
(“Developer”), with reference to the following facts:
Background
A. Developer proposes to purchase and develop one (1) vacant property owned by City which
is located in the City of Muskegon, Muskegon County, Michigan, and each commonly known and legally
described on the attached Exhibit A (each property individually, a “Parcel” and collectively “Project
Property”).
B. City and Developer desire to establish the terms, covenants, and conditions upon which
City will sell and Developer will purchase and develop the Project Property. Developer intends to develop
on the Project Property one (1) single-family house. (the “Project”).
Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale and Purchase of Project Properties. City agrees to sell to Developer, and Developer
agrees to purchase from City, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Project Property, subject to reservations, restrictions, and easements of record.
2. Purchase Price. The total purchase price for the Project Property shall be $1,125, which
shall be paid in cash or other immediately available funds at Closing (defined below) less the $400 deposit
that the Developer has paid to the City of Muskegon.
Pursuant to Paragraph 3(b) below, the parties acknowledge and agree that Developer shall be eligible to be
reimbursed all or a portion of the purchase price for the Parcel upon the completion of certain design
standards as further described herein.
3. Construction and Development Requirements.
a. Construction Dates. The parties acknowledge and agree that Developer shall have
a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of Closing to complete the Project (“Construction
Period”), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by
the parties in writing.
b. Construction Details; Purchase Price Reimbursement. Developer’s construction
and development of the Project Properties shall be in substantial conformance with its plans and
specifications provided to City by Developer or as otherwise agreed upon in writing between City
and Developer. As referenced above, Developer shall be eligible for reimbursement of all or a
portion of the purchase price for the Project Properties upon Developer’s satisfaction of the
following design standards for each single-family home it constructs on the Project Properties:
Page 35 of 165
Design Standard Purchase Price Reimbursement for Parcel
Open front porch of at least 60 sq. ft. 20%
Picture or bay window 20%
Alley-loaded parcel 20%
Shutter or other acceptable window 20%
treatments
Underground Sprinkling 20%
(By way of example only: If Developer completes three of the design standards listed above for
the construction at the Parcel located at 1278 Pine Street, Developer would be reimbursed $675.00,
which is 60% of the $1,125.00 purchase price for this Parcel. If Developer completes all five design
standards, Developer would be reimbursed the entire purchase price for this Parcel.)
4. Right of Reversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and as security for
Developer’s obligation to commence and complete construction of a single-family house on each of the
Project Properties, the quit claim deed conveying the Project Properties to Developer shall contain a right
of reversion in all of the Project Properties (“City’s Reversionary Right”), which may be exercised by City,
in its sole and absolute discretion, if any of the following conditions occur:
a. Developer does not commence construction within sixty (60) days after the date of
Closing, in which case title to all of the Project Properties shall automatically revert to City upon
the terms and conditions further provided in this Paragraph 4 below. For purposes of this Paragraph
4(a), commencing construction means furnishing labor and materials to the Parcel of the Project
Property and beginning installation of the approved single-family home.
b. Developer does not complete construction of the Project Property prior to
expiration of the Construction Period, in which case title to any of the Project Properties that are
not complete by the end of the Construction Period shall automatically revert to City upon the terms
and conditions further provided in this Paragraph 4 below. For purposes of this Paragraph 4(b),
completing construction means the issuance of an occupancy permit by City for the Project
Property. Provided, however, the parties agree to reasonably negotiate an extension of the
Construction Period up to a period of six (6) months for the Project Property that have a completed
foundation before the expiration of the initial Construction Period.
If any of the above conditions occur, City shall automatically have City’s Reversionary Right to reacquire
title to the Project Property, as the case may be. To exercise City’s Reversionary Right described herein,
City must provide written notice to Developer (or its permitted successors, assigns, or transferees) within
thirty (30) days of Developer’s failure under this Agreement, but in any event prior to Developer satisfying
the conditions set forth in Paragraph 4(a) or Paragraph 4(b) above, as the case may be, and record such
notice with the Muskegon County Register of Deeds. Upon request of City, Developer shall take all
reasonable steps to ensure City acquires marketable title to the Project Property, as the case may be, through
its exercise of its rights under this Paragraph within thirty (30) days of City’s demand, including without
limitation, the execution of appropriate deeds and other documents.
In addition, if the Project Property revert to City, City may retain the purchase price for such Project
Property free and clear of any claim of Developer or its assigns. In the event of reversion of title of the
Project Property, improvements made on such Project Property shall become the property of City. In no
Page 36 of 165
event shall the Project Property be in a worse condition than upon the date of Closing. These covenants and
conditions shall run with the land and be recorded in the quit claim deed from City to Developer.
5. Title Insurance. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Developer shall order a title
commitment for an extended coverage ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance issued by Transnation Title
Agency (the “Title Company”) for the Project Property in the amount of the total purchase price for the
Project Property and bearing a date later than the Effective Date, along with copies of all of the underlying
documents referenced therein (the “Title Commitment”). Developer shall cause the Title Company to issue
a marked-up commitment or pro forma owner’s policy with respect to the Project Property at the Closing
naming Developer as the insured and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Developer, but
subject to Permitted Exceptions (defined below). As soon as possible after the Closing, Developer shall
cause the Title Company to furnish to Developer an extended coverage ALTA owner’s policy of title
insurance with respect to the Project Property (the “Title Policy”). City shall be responsible for the cost of
the Title Policy; provided, however, Developer shall be solely responsible for the cost of any endorsements
to the Title Policy that Developer desires.
6. Title Objections. Developer shall have until the end of the Inspection Period (as defined
below) within which to raise objections to the status of City’s title to the Project Properties. If objection to
the title is made, City shall have seven (7) days from the date it is notified in writing of the particular defects
claimed to either (a) remedy the objections, or (b) notify Developer that it will not remedy the objections.
If Developer does not notify City in writing as to any title or survey objections, then Developer will be
deemed to have accepted the condition of title as set forth in the Title Commitment. If City is unwilling or
unable to remedy the title or obtain title insurance over such defects within the time period specified, then
notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Developer may, at its option, upon written notice
to City, either (i) terminate this Agreement and neither City nor Developer shall have any further obligation
to the other pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, or (ii) waive such objection,
in which case such objection shall become a Permitted Exception, and thereafter proceed to the Closing
according to the terms of this Agreement. Any matter disclosed on the Title Commitment that is waived or
not objected to by Developer shall be deemed a “Permitted Exception.”
7. Property Taxes and Assessments. City shall be responsible for the payment of all real
estate taxes and assessments that become due and payable prior to Closing, without proration. Developer
shall be responsible for the payment of all real estate taxes and assessments that become due and payable
after Closing, without proration.
8. Survey. Developer at its own expense may obtain a survey of any or all of the Project
Property, and Buyer or its surveyor or other agents may enter any of the Project Property for that purpose
prior to Closing. If no survey is obtained, Developer agrees that Developer is relying solely upon
Developer's own judgment as to the location, boundaries, and area of the Project Property and
improvements thereon without regard to any representations that may have been made by City or any other
person. In the event that a survey by a registered land surveyor made prior to Closing discloses an
encroachment or substantial variation from the presumed land boundaries or area, City shall have the option
of affecting a remedy within seven (7) days after disclosure, or terminate this Agreement. Developer may
elect to purchase the Project Property subject to said encroachment or variation.
9. Inspection Period. At Developer’s sole option and expense, Developer and Developer’s
agents may conduct inspections of each of the Project Property within thirty (30) days after the Effective
Date (“Inspection Period”). Developer’s inspection under this Paragraph may include, by way of example
but not limitation, inspections of any existing improvements to each Parcel, other systems servicing the
Parcel, zoning, and the suitability for Developer’s intended purposes for each Parcel. If Developer, in
Developer’s reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with the results of the inspections for any reason,
Page 37 of 165
Developer shall notify City in writing of Developer’s prior to expiration of the 30-day Inspection Period. If
Developer so notifies City, this Agreement shall be terminated and have no further force and effect. If no
written objection is made by Developer within the stated period, this inspection contingency shall be
deemed to be waived by Developer and the parties shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
10. Condition of Project Property. City and Developer acknowledge and agree that the Parcel
in the Project Property is being sold and delivered “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” in its present condition. Except
as specifically set forth in this Agreement or any written disclosure statements, City has not made, does not
make, and specifically disclaims any and all representations, warranties, or covenants of any kind or
character whatsoever, whether implied or express, oral or written, as to or with respect to (i) the value,
nature, quality, or condition of any of the Project Property, including without limitation, soil conditions,
and any environmental conditions; (ii) the suitability of the Project Property for any or all of Developer’s
activities and uses; (iii) the compliance of or by the Project Property with any laws, codes, or ordinances;
(iv) the habitability, marketability, profitability, or fitness for a particular purpose of the Project Property;
(v) existence in, on, under, or over the Project Property of any hazardous substances; or (vi) any other matter

Installation, inspection, and calibration of relaying to trip generation for under- or over-frequency operation shall
be coordinated with Consumers, pursuant to Subsection 2.3.2, so as not to degrade the security of Consumers'
distribution system. Operating practices developed by Project Developer which call for manual tripping of
generation for under-or over-frequency operation shall likewise be coordinated and be consistent with the
provisions of East Central Area Reliability Document 3, "Emergency Procedures” During Declining System
Frequency, and any successor and/or supplemental documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.
6.5 Continuity of Service
Each Party shall exercise reasonable care to maintain continuity of service in the delivery and receipt of electric
energy. If service becomes interrupted for any reason, the cause of such interruption shall be removed and
normal operating conditions restored as soon as practicable.
6.6 Project Backup Power
If the Project Developer requires backup power from Consumers, the Project Developer will contract with
Consumers for the delivery of power provided to the Project under one of Consumers' established retail rates
set forth in Consumers’ tariffs, which are incorporated herein by reference. The provisions of such contract shall
be applied during periods when the Project is not delivering energy to Consumers. The Project Developer will
contract with Consumers for the purchase of energy or provide satisfactory evidence of the purchase of energy
from an alternative energy supplier for the purpose of providing power to the Project during periods when the
Project is not delivering energy to Consumers’ distribution system.
Project Developer shall have sufficient voltage regulation at the Project to maintain an acceptable voltage level
for Project equipment during such periods when the Project's generation is off line.
6.7 Consumers' Obligation to Connect
Consumers shall not be obligated to continue the electrical interconnection to the Project if it determines, in its
sole discretion, that any one or more of the following conditions exist, including but not limited to: (a) those
conditions listed in the Miscellaneous Operational Requirements section of the Michigan Electric Utility
Generator Interconnection Requirements, (b) electrical characteristics of the Project are not compatible with the
electrical characteristics of Consumers' distribution system, (c) the Project Developer is deficient in following
either the voltage schedule or reactive power schedule established by Consumers, (d) an emergency condition
exists on Consumers’ distribution system, (e) Project Developer's protective relay equipment fails, resulting in a
lack of the level of protection required by prudent utility practice, (f) the Project Developer’s Project is determined
to be disrupting Consumers customers, (g) Consumers requires disconnection of the Project in order to
construct, install, maintain, repair, replace, remove, investigate, inspect or test any part of Consumers’
Interconnection Facilities or any other Consumers equipment associated with the interconnection (also if a
required component (example: phone line) or required modification to allow interconnection fails or becomes
incapacitated and is not repaired in a timely manner), (h) by mutual consent, (i) Project Developer commits a
material breach of this agreement or (j) Project Developer’s failure to execute this agreement or upon
cancellation or termination of this agreement. Consumers shall electrically connect or reconnect its distribution
system to the Project when, in Consumers' sole opinion, the conditions named above cease to exist. Under any
of the conditions listed above, Consumers will follow the procedures for disconnecting and re-connecting the

Commission Meeting Date: January 23, 2024 Title: Acquisition of Vacant Lot at 748 Catherine
for Infill Housing from Muskegon Land Bank
Submitted by: Jake Eckholm, Development Department: Economic Development
Services Director
Brief Summary:
This lot recently had a grant funded demolition of a derelict home by the Muskegon County Land
Bank. Rather than see it sold privately to expand a lawn or sit vacant and sporadically maintained,
we would like to proactively acquire it for future phases of City-led infill housing.
Detailed Summary & Background:
We have recently been working to strengthen ties with the Muskegon County Land Bank Authority
and as a result of this we have a great system in place where we are notified of potential lots that
may benefit our urgent housing need. This lot was recently added to the inventory for the Land Bank
after a long-vacant home was demolished using State Land Bank grant dollars. As we finish out ARPA
Infill Housing we will be making recommendations on continued builds as part of a broader housing
strategy, and continuing our budgeted property acquisition will benefit all aspects of that.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: January 23, 2024 Title: Scattered Site Payment In Lieu of Taxes
Agreement with Green Development Ventures,
LLC (Allen Edwin Homes)
Submitted by: Jake Eckholm, Development Department: Economic Development
Services Director
Brief Summary:
This is our first opportunity to take advantage of the new "scattered site" Payment in lieu of Taxes law
passed in Michigan last year, which will allow Green Development Ventures, LLC (Allen Edwin) to infill 36
homes over the next several years for workforce rental housing.
Detailed Summary & Background:
For nearly a year, the Development Services Division has been exploring opportunities to broaden the
scope of our current infill housing program. A new tool has come online in Michigan through Public
Act 239, an amendment to the State's main affordable housing legislation. Previously, the State of
Michigan only allowed cities to issue housing tax exemptions (PILOT) to Low Income Housing Tax
Credit developments, which are almost always larger format multifamily apartment buildings. This has
made it difficult to subsidize single family or smaller multiplexes for working families and often results in
new construction rental stock that is only at higher market rates. This has also led to a market where
often the only subsidized units are geared towards people at or below 80% of the area median
income, though there is still a sizable shortage of those units as well.
Our 2023-2027 Housing Needs Assessment illustrates a need for 295 units in the next five years with
rents between $1,431-$2,145,and 403 between $895 and $1,430. The 36 units proposed by Allen Edwin
will largely be 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom homes that will rent between $1,400 and $1,700 per month.
Staff has attached the latest MSHDA rents table that would restrict Allen Edwin to charge rents below
120% Area Median Income thresholds throughout the life of this agreement. To put this in context for
our community, examples of households earning 100-120% of the AMI would be a single adult who is
a full-time teacher in their first five years, or wherein one adult works full time in entry level
manufacturing and the other works part-time in retail. Essentially, these houses will be targeting
"working class" people who are often house burdened and until recently have had few options
available to them for subsidy.
As with other PILOT agreements, the City would forego traditional property taxes, and instead be
paid a percentage of the gross rents paid during the tax year. The relevant state statute defines 10%
of gross rents as the minimum, which is what is proposed here. It should be noted that this is slightly to
considerably higher than the typical LIHTC deal we have seen in past years. For example, if the
average rent collected on these 36 houses is $1,500 a month, the total portfolio once complete will
gross $648,000 annually. The city would assess $64,800, or 10%, and then distribute that
proportionately to the various taxing jurisdictions as though it were traditional property taxes. The
city's share of this annual PILOT would be roughly $14,000, as compared with roughly $45,000 if they
were taxed traditionally. These savings of 2/3rds of the taxes is the incentive for the developer to
agree to restrict the rents to the limits set by MSHDA for the 15-year time period of this agreement.

Seller’s expense, and a commitment to issue a policy insuring marketable title vested in Buyer, including a real estate tax status
report, will be made available to Buyer within ten (10) days after the Effective Date. If Buyer so chooses, or if an expanded policy is
not applicable, then a standard ALTA Owners’ Policy of Title Insurance shall be provided.
If Buyer objects to any conditions, Buyer may, within three (3) days of receipt of the Title Commitment, by written notice to Seller,
either terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of Buyer’s Earnest Money Deposit, or make a written proposal to Seller to correct

period, Buyer will be deemed to accept the Title Commitment as-is and will proceed to closing according to the terms and conditions

Buyer or Seller (choose one) shall within ten (10) days of the Effective Date, order, at their expense, a boundary survey with iron
corner stakes showing the location of the boundaries, improvements and easements in connection with the Property. Upon receipt of
the survey, Buyer will have three (3) days to review the survey. If the survey shows any condition, in Buyer’s sole discretion, which
would interfere with Buyer’s intended use of the Property, the marketability of the title, or zoning non-compliance, then Buyer may,
within said three (3) day period, terminate this Agreement, in writing, and Buyer will receive a full refund of Buyer’s Earnest Money
Deposit.

owns the Property through the day before closing.
21. Closing: If agreeable to Buyer and Seller, the sale will be closed as soon as closing documents are ready, but not later than
01/15/2023 . An additional period of fifteen (15) days will be allowed for closing to accommodate the correction of
title defects or survey problems which can be readily corrected, or for delays in obtaining any lender required inspections/repairs. During
this additional period, the closing will be held within 5 days after all parties have been notified that all necessary documents have been
prepared. Buyer and Seller will each pay their title company closing fee, if applicable, except in the case of VA financing where Seller
will pay the entire closing fee. Exceptions:

will have the privilege to occupy the Property and hereby agrees to pay Buyer $ as an occupancy
fee for this period payable at closing, WITHOUT PRORATION. Payment shall be made in the form of cash or certified funds.
If Seller fails to deliver possession to Buyer on the agreed date, Seller shall become a tenant at sufferance and shall pay to Buyer as
liquidated damages $ 350 per day plus all of the Buyer’s actual reasonable attorney's fees incurred in removing the Seller
from the Property.
If Seller occupies the Property after closing, Seller will pay all utilities during such occupancy. Buyer will maintain the structure and
mechanical systems at the Property. However, any repairs or replacements necessitated by Seller’s misuse, abuse, or neglect of any
portion of the Property will be Seller’s responsibility and expense.
On the agreed delivery date, Seller shall deliver the Property free of trash and debris and in broom-clean condition, shall remove all
personal property (unless otherwise stated in this or an additional written agreement), shall make arrangements for final payment on
all utilities, and shall deliver all keys to Buyer. Exceptions:
24. Earnest Money Deposit: For valuable consideration, Buyer gives Seller until 9:00AM (time) on
12/18/2023 (date), to deliver the written acceptance of this offer and agrees that this offer, when accepted by
Seller, will constitute a binding Agreement between Buyer and Seller. An Earnest Money Deposit in the amount of $ 2500.00
shall be submitted to TrANSNATION TITLE (insert name of broker, title
company, other) within 72 hours of the Effective Date of this Agreement, and shall be applied against the Purchase Price. If the Earnest
Money Deposit is not received within 72 hours of the Effective Date or is returned for insufficient funds, Seller may terminate this
Agreement until such time as the Earnest Money Deposit is received. If Seller terminates this Agreement under this provision, Seller
waives any claim to the Earnest Money Deposit. If the sale is not closed due to a failure to satisfy a contingency for a reason other
than the fault of Buyer, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer. If the sale is not closed as provided in this Agreement
and Buyer and Seller do not agree to the disposition of the Earnest Money Deposit, then Buyer and Seller agree that the Broker holding
the Earnest Money Deposit may notify Buyer and Seller, in writing, of Broker’s intended disposition of the Earnest Money Deposit. If
Buyer and Seller do not object to such disposition in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of Broker’s notice, they will be deemed
to have agreed to Broker’s proposed disposition; if either Buyer or Seller object and no mutually agreeable disposition can be
negotiated, Broker may deposit the funds by interpleader with a court of proper jurisdiction or await further actions by Buyer and Seller.
In the event of litigation involving the deposit, in whole or in part, either the Seller or the Buyer that is not the prevailing party, as
determined by the court, will reimburse the other for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the litigation,
and will reimburse the Broker for any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with any interpleader action
instituted. If the entity holding the Earnest Money Deposit is not the Broker, then to the extent that the terms of any escrow agreement
conflict with this paragraph, then the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement shall control.
25. Professional Advice: Broker hereby advises Buyer and Seller to seek legal, tax, environmental and other appropriate professional
advice relating to this transaction. Broker does not make any representations or warranties with respect to the advisability of, or the
legal effect of this transaction. Buyer further acknowledges that REALTOR® above named in the Agreement hereby recommends to
Buyer that an attorney be retained by Buyer to pass upon the marketability of the title and to ascertain that the required details of the
sale are adhered to before the transaction is consummated. Buyer agrees that Buyer is not relying on any representation or statement
made by Seller or any real estate salesperson (whether intentionally or negligently) regarding any aspect of the Property or this sale
transaction, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, a written amendment to this Agreement, or a disclosure statement
separately signed by Seller.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: January 23, 2024 Title: DEI Policy Audit
Submitted by: LeighAnn Mikesell, Deputy City Department: Manager's Office
Manager
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting approval of the selection of MGT to review a number of city policies for their
impact on equity and provide recommendations for changes to existing policies as well as for new
policies that further our efforts to realize our equity vision.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Staff advertised a request for proposals (RFP) in mid October with proposals due November 14. Nine
firms provided on time proposals, and the GARE Core Team members each reviewed the proposals
according to the information provided in the RFP. This is a qualifications based selection so scores
were weighted as follows: qualifications of the team at 40%, understanding of service at 30%,
relevant experience at 20% and cost at 10%. The team met in mid December to discuss the scores
and come to a consensus on which firm to recommend for approval. Two firms rose to the top, and
references were checked for both.
Staff submits to the commission our recommendation to hire MGT located in Tampa, FL with recent
experience assisting the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation, Oregon City, Utah Office of Tourism,
Sacramento County, and the City of Shaker Heights, OH.
The cost will depend on how many policies are reviewed. The GARE Core Team has narrowed the list
to 43 policies. The RFP had contemplated review of up to 100 policies, and priced proposals were
based on that figure. The lead team will negotiate a price for the 43 policies recommended for
review. A budget amendment may be requested in the future, or funding may be requested to
continue work in the next fiscal year.

SUBJECT: RFP - DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION AUDIT
Dear Ms. Mikesell:
MGT of America Consulting, LLC (MGT) is pleased to present this proposal to the City of Muskegon
(City) in response to the request for a Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion (DEI) Audit. For more than 49 years,
MGT has worked with Cities, Counties, non-profits, and K-12 & Higher Education Institutions in the areas
of DEI, human resources evaluation, strategic planning, organizational assessment, and DEI Training for
staff and boards. Having conducted over 350 studies related to advancing the tenets of DEI and
opportunity for all, our team of seasoned professionals offer the expertise and knowledge to exceed your
expectations in conducting this important project.
While we are nationally recognized, we have staff on the proposed project team who has local familial
roots and first-hand experience in the City of Muskegon. Our proposed project team has experience with
issues related to DEI and Organizational Improvement throughout the State of Michigan. We understand
the complexities of community and organizational change work, and approach the work with compassion,
empathy, and transparent communication as we build trust with the communities and people we work
closely with. Our experience with the City of Battle Creek, Michigan, on their evaluation of human
resource and police department policies and practices, as well as our work in developing an Aging Strategy
Plan for Washtenaw County demonstrates the diversity of the needs of our clients and the needs
throughout the state, and excited about the opportunity to expand our connections in the northwestern
Michigan.
We are excited about the opportunity to work with the City of Muskegon to provide these important
services and look forward to further discussion about this engagement. I confirm that all the information
and data submitted are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. If you have questions concerning
any aspect of this proposal, please contact Krystal O’Leary at 951.741.5737 or

Proposed Approach & Methodology
Project Understanding
We understand that the City desires to become a stronger equity-focused organization with a culture of
inclusion that drives decision-making and encourages a welcoming and supportive working environment
for all its employees. Identified as a next step by the Core Team, the City is seeking support in auditing
approximately 100 policies which outline processes and procedures and their impacts on equity and how
policies are being implemented. MGT understands the importance of this work and its place as a tool for
the City’s decision-making guide and the expertise to help the City embed equity in its policy reviews.
Methodology
MGT’s methodology is rooted in human-centered design and participatory learning. Using a mixed-
methods approach, MGT uses data-driven discovery to create change and solutions to system-level
problems. Utilizing both quantitative data and research and qualitative narrative, MGT weaves together
both the objective and subjective nature of the data to best tell client stories.
Using a fit-for-purpose approach, MGT works alongside clients to find solutions to meet the needs of each
organization and community.
Community Engagement
Community Engagement is key in understanding feedback from people at all levels of the organization
and community. MGT’s team is trained in dynamic facilitation and culturally responsive communication
techniques, allowing the best opportunity for historically and systemically excluded groups and people to
be heard. Our team is responsive to the challenging conversations which come along with the DEI learning
journey and are prepared to support the City’s staff and community as they learn together.
Project Management and Quality Assurance
MGT uses proven project management methodologies, to ensure we deliver project results that are on
time, on budget, and meet or exceed client expectations by identifying the most effective long-term,
decision-making solutions. MGT Client Satisfaction Components

PROPOSED APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
Data Security
MGT prides itself in ensuring that all data and information that is provided by clients or voluntarily sourced
through focus groups, surveys, or other means is securely maintained. MGT leverages its SharePoint site
to securely facilitate the transfer of documents and other pieces of information. Access to our SharePoint
site is only given to members of the core project team, no one else from other parts of MGT or outside of
MGT will have access to this information. Additionally, only select members of the client team will have
access to the shared SharePoint site to funnel information and prevent accidental access to the site by
unauthorized people. This authorization will be determined by the client’s project leader. Members of the
client team will only have access to the SharePoint site for the duration of the project; afterwards their
access will be revoked, and all shared information will be securely deleted by MGT 30 days after the end
of the project. The client will keep all approved final deliverables (e.g., reports, presentations, survey data,
strategic plans, etc.) developed by MGT.

PROPOSED APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT
MGT will conduct an assessment of the organization to determine strengths, weaknesses, DEI
understanding, and readiness to embrace and infuse DEI through all levels of the organization’s structure
and operations. This will involve an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data and other information to
ensure a comprehensive understanding of the state of the organization related to DEI.
MGT uses several tools to effectively execute our organizational assessment. In order to identify the
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) to DEI, MGT operationalizes a policy analysis
rubric. Our rubric is rooted in a historic understanding of systemic racism and focuses on hiring, pay and
promotion transparency, antidiscrimination, antiharassment, benefits, and good faith efforts.
2.1 Analysis of Relevant Internal Policies
MGT will work with the City’s project leadership to establish a comprehensive list of documents and
formal policies to be included in the equity audit. Each of these will be strategically organized for effective
assessment by our expert consultants. This assessment will include analysis of internal polices with special
emphasis on the impact of policies and practices on people from historically marginalized demographic
groups.
An equity lens will be applied to our analysis of the following topics:
w Candidate Selection
w Assessment of candidate selection practices including emergent practices around diversifying
candidate pools.
w Identification of policies and practices that are either contributing to or inhibiting the success of
people from historically marginalized backgrounds.
w Employee Lifecycle
w Evaluate opportunities for all staff including accessibility to support networks, coaching, and
continuing education
w Review of performance evaluation metrics focused on equitable application of internal policies.
w Anti-Discrimination

w Review for emergent practice that equitably benefits all people.
w Harassment and Retaliation
w Evaluate the anti-harassment policy and reporting process ensuring compliance with both
emergent and established practices.
w Language and Accessibility

w A written analysis of existing organizational strengths and gaps with clear recommendations on
how to best build upon strengths that will enhance equity throughout the organization and for

2.2 Analysis of External Operations
MGT will conduct an external audit of the organization’s external policies and practices. We will determine
strengths and weaknesses of the City’s work and identify opportunities for change to elevate its success
in ensuring equity for all residents without exception to one’s race, ethnicity, gender, disability, age, sexual
orientation, gender identity, or religion. This will involve a gap analysis of documented policies and
processes to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the City’s work related to ensuring
equity. A sample of the items for analysis are as follows:
w External Operations
w Community engagement
w External communications
w Interactions between the Insert city/county name and its residents
w Breadth and access to community support programming
DELIVERABLES

understanding, representative participation, and authentic engagement in this important work. To
maximize awareness of the City’s commitment to equity, build interest and motivation to engage in the
organization’s DEI-related vision and this assessment, we will create an internal staff outreach plan to
boost authentic engagement. This staff outreach plan will provide a strategic road map for informing staff
of the importance of their participation.

Encountering Resistance
MGT has extensive experience engaging internal and external project stakeholders. The biggest hurdle to
overcome is getting a participant to believe in the work and commitment of their organization or their
community and then to “sit at the table” when asked to engage. We are sensitive to the perspectives,
concerns, and doubts that people may have, and we work diligently to overcome these barriers –
sometimes from residents and staff, sometimes even from representatives of the client.
We believe that humility, empathy, and effective communication is crucial to the success of a project. DEI
work can be sensitive, emotionally taxing, and politically charged. The ability to remain objective,
emotionally stable, and sensitive to the feelings, perspectives, and lived experience of all stakeholders is
crucial. We aim to engage this work in a way that is inviting to all people, not just those on one side or
another of a divisive topic. We customize our communication to allow for the inclusion of a broad and
diverse array of stakeholders. We listen, we empathize, and we withhold judgement to promote all voices
CITY OF MUSKEGON, MI | NOVEMBER 14, 2023
PAGE 13
RFP | DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION AUDIT
Page 121 of 165
PROPOSED APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
that ultimately provide for a more diverse set of input, higher level of engagement, and stronger
commitment to the project and to our client’s mission.
Example: In our City of Charlottesville project, there was resistance to participate from a few
departments, but once we demonstrated consistency in having a genuine and authentic dialogue with
those that were resistant, they became supportive, engaged, and ultimate served as the biggest
proponents of the project and quickly became supportive of our client.
Sustainable Approach to Organizational Equity
Equity and anti-bias work is not a one-time institutional inoculation against the deleterious effects of
institutional racism, group-based prejudices, or demographic marginalization. Lack of inclusion for
members of historically marginalized groups has been hundreds of years in the making, so it’s unrealistic
to expect that lasting changes can be made overnight. However, a comprehensive assessment followed
by an action plan that is buoyed by authentic long-term commitment is needed. This plan must address
the improvement (or eradication) of policies, procedures, programs, and processes in the organization
that adversely affect stakeholders from particular groups or allow others’ biases to adversely impact
people.
A sustainable approach requires thinking about diversity and inclusion from a broader perspective.
Abiding change means implementing a diversity and inclusion strategy that adapts to evolving social issues
and to changes within your own organization. It is an ongoing commitment to self- and organizational-
reflection, evaluation, and re-evaluation. Reducing bias in a lasting way is not about solving a static one-
time “problem”; it is about creating a cultural environment where diversity and inclusion are valued and
where ongoing improvement in addressing conscious and unconscious biases is encouraged and fostered.
The goal of a diversity and inclusion strategy is to create an environment in which – because people from
diverse perspectives and with different backgrounds can thrive – the City will be more successful.
Our DEI work promotes an identity-inclusive environment where individuals have the skills and confidence
necessary to foster equity and inclusion in today’s increasingly diverse, opportunistic, and complex living
and work environment. Our work allows partners to own the data and the action plan and feel confident
in long-term success of this initiative.

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: January 23, 2024 Title: Adelaide Pointe Dropwell Docks Discussion
Submitted by: Dan VanderHeide, Public Works Department: Public Works
Director
Brief Summary:
Adelaide Pointe has proposed new docks at the dropwell location in Hartshorn Park under the
Cooperative Use Agreement and will present the plan for consideration.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Adelaide Pointe has proposed a set of docks that would be attached to the seawall just east of the
Hartshorn boat launch. The docks would allow for boats dropped into the lake by the In/Out
operations, and would provide additional public dock space for shopping and water access. While
the docks are not shown on the currently approved site plan/PUD plan, the Cooperative Use
Agreement would support the concept if the updated plans showing the docks were to be
approved by the City and EGLE. Adelaide Pointe will present the plan in detail for review and
discussion.

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: January 23, 2024 Title: CFFMC Spark Grant Application Discussion
Submitted by: Kyle Karczewski, Parks and Department: Public Works
Recreation Director
Brief Summary:
Staff requests approval to work with the Community Foundation for Muskegon County (CFFMC) to
apply for a Spark Grant for a new skate park at Rotary Park.
Detailed Summary & Background:
The Spark Grant program includes a round of funding designated specifically for communities that
have historically been looked over for grant funding in parks and public spaces. Each community
was assigned to a Community Foundation in order to assist in distributing the funds outside of the
traditional scoring process. Although Muskegon was successful during the competitive round, and
that may slightly reduce the amount the City could receive, staff has heard positive reinforcement
from knowledgeable individuals that the City could expect to receive funding from this process.
Due to the compressed application time frame, staff was required to select a project that had
budgetary numbers and conceptual plans already completed. The only project that met that
criteria was the new skate park proposed at Rotary Park, which is an excellent candidate for the
program and furthers several staff and Commission goals. The concept plan, prepared by nationally-
recognized skate park design firm Grindline, is included for review and has been budgeted at
$1,000,000. If less than the full project amount is funded a group of community stakeholders has
indicated a willingness to raise funds and they believe some funds to support the project exist in the
community, but due to the compressed timeline no formal campaign has been launched. If the
project is selected, funding would be identified prior to entering into any formal grant agreement.
If the project is selected for funding, the City and County will need to negotiate a lease for a portion
of Rotary Park. The County has indicated they are willing to enter into those discussions when the
time is right, and has previously indicated a willingness to host the skate park in this location. A wide-
ranging community engagement campaign conducted in 2021-22 identified Rotary Park as the
community's preferred location and provided many ideas for elements that will be included in the
park.

fee for this period payable at closing, WITHOUT PRORATION. Payment shall be made in the form of cash or certified funds.

liquidated damages $ 100 per day plus all of the Buyer’s actual reasonable attorney's fees incurred in removing the Seller
from the Property.
If Seller occupies the Property after closing, Seller will pay all utilities during such occupancy. Buyer will maintain the structure and

negotiated, Broker may deposit the funds by interpleader with a court of proper jurisdiction or await further actions by Buyer and Seller.

determined by the court, will reimburse the other for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the litigation,
and will reimburse the Broker for any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with any interpleader action
instituted. If the entity holding the Earnest Money Deposit is not the Broker, then to the extent that the terms of any escrow agreement
conflict with this paragraph, then the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement shall control.

advice relating to this transaction. Broker does not make any representations or warranties with respect to the advisability of, or the
legal effect of this transaction. Buyer further acknowledges that REALTOR® above named in the Agreement hereby recommends to

transaction, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, a written amendment to this Agreement, or a disclosure statement
