Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: March 12, 2024 Title: Police Department Accreditation
Recertification
Submitted by: Timothy Kozal, Public Safety Department: Public Safety
Director
Brief Summary:
The Police Department has completed and been awarded recertification of the Michigan Law
Enforcement Accreditation Program. We will be honoring them with their accreditation certificate.
Detailed Summary & Background:
The Muskegon Police Department was most recently accredited in 2021, which lasts for 3 years.
Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of helping law enforcement agencies calculate
and improve their overall performances. The foundation of Accreditation lies in the voluntary
adoption of standards containing a clear statement of professional objectives. Participating
agencies conduct a thorough self-analysis to determine which of their existing operations already
meet some of the standards and/or how the procedures can be adapted to meet the standards
and professional objectives. When the procedures are in place, a team of trained Commission
assessors verifies that applicable standards have been successfully implemented and the agency is
in compliance. Accreditation status represents a significant professional achievement. Accreditation
acknowledges the implementation of written directives, policies, and procedures that are
conceptually sound and operationally effective.

MICHIGAN LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCREDITATION PROGRAM
Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of helping law enforcement
agencies calculate and improve their overall performances. The foundation of
Accreditation lies in the voluntary adoption of standards containing a clear statement of
professional objectives. Participating agencies conduct a thorough self-analysis to
determine which of their existing operations already meet some of the standards and/or
how the procedures can be adapted to meet the standards and professional objectives.
When the procedures are in place, a team of trained Commission assessors verifies
that applicable standards have been successfully implemented and the agency is in
compliance.
Accreditation status represents a significant professional achievement. Accreditation
acknowledges the implementation of written directives, policies, and procedures that are
conceptually sound and operationally effective.
The Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police (MACP) and the Michigan Sheriffs’
Association (MSA) have pursued the concept and development of a voluntary statewide
law enforcement accreditation program for Michigan. This effort has resulted in the
formation of the Michigan Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission (MLEAC). The
MLEAC consists of commissioners from law enforcement and other professions
appointed by the MACP, the MSA and the Commission itself. Personnel from the MACP
provide support services to the MLEAC and to applicant agencies.
The attitudes, training and actions of personnel of Michigan’s law enforcement agencies
best reflect compliance with the 108 standards contained in this program. Written
Directives, policies and procedures based on Accreditation will not insure mistake-free
policing or a crime-free environment for citizens. Nor will it insure an absence of
litigation against law enforcement agencies and executives, but it will put the agency in
a better position to defend their actions against law suits.
Effective and comprehensive leadership through professionally based written directive
and policy development is directly influenced by a law enforcement program that is
comprehensive, obtainable, and based on standards that reflect the delivery of
professional police service.
The MACP and the MSA believe the Michigan Law Enforcement Accreditation Program
will enhance the professionalism of police organizations in the state.

Program Director.

February 12, 2024 @ 5:30 PM
MUSKEGON CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS
933 TERRACE STREET, MUSKEGON, MI 49440
MINUTES
2024-15 CALL TO ORDER
The Worksession Meeting of the City of Muskegon was called to order at City
hall, 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan, at 5:30 PM, Monday, February 12,
2024.
Present: Mayor Ken Johnson, Vice Mayor Rebecca St. Clair, Commissioners
Katrina Kochin, Willie German, Jr., Destinee Keener (left at 7:10 p.m.), and Jay
Kilgo
Absent: Commissioner Rachel Gorman
NEW BUSINESS
A. Allocation of remaining ARPA Community Grant Funds Manager's Office
Staff is requesting approval to redirect $150,000 to additional applicants of the City's ARPA
Community Grant Program who were not previously selected for funding in late 2023.
Background
2/14/23: City Commission authorized $1.6M from the City’s allocation of American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) funds to establish the City's ARPA Community Grant Program. Eligible applicants included
non-profit orgs, small businesses and each neighborhood association.
3/1/23 - 3/31/23: Grant application period open; 60 applications received.
April 2023 - May 2023: Review of applications and established ARPA Community Grant Review
Committee. Six members included: Lawrence Baker (Ward 1), Leon Howard (Ward 2), Jennifer
Sanocki (Ward 3), Nina Leask (Ward 4), Jonathan Seyferth (City Manager), and Sharonda Carson
(Director, Community and Neighborhood Services). Two additional advisors – Community
Foundation and United Way
June 2023: The Review Committee held four public meetings at City Hall on 6/5/23, 6/7/23, 6/22/23
and 6/29/23. A multistep scoring process was used to review and evaluate all applications. The
Page 1 of 5
Page 8 of 220
responses to 9 questions on the application served as the evaluation criteria on which to base the
scores. Projects were ranked by the cumulative average of each committee members scores.
The Review Committee recommended (22) project proposals for the Commission’s consideration.
On August 2, 2023, the Commission approved (21) proposals for funding. At that meeting, a
recommended proposal from Pioneer Resources in the amount of $150,000 was removed due to
conflict of interest documentation involving Commissioner Gorman which had not yet been resolved.
Upon resolution of the matter, the Pioneer Resources project was brought back to the Commission
for unanimous consideration. The proposal did not ultimately receive enough support and was
subsequently denied. Thus, $150,000 was then made available to be redirected to other applicants.
As of 12/31/23, the remaining balance of uncommitted funds from the city's ARPA (American
Rescue Plan Act) allocation ($22,881,894) is approximately $435,133.40. (Staff has an equipment
recommendation for this $435,133.40 from Public Safety.)
Peter Wills, Director of Government Relations and Strategic Operations,
provided an overview of the ARPA Community Grant Program and how the
funds were awarded as well as a status update on the awarded grants. Staff is
recommending additional ARPA Community Grant fund allocation based on
the applications that were received and reviewed under the original
application and deadline.
Discussion took place between Commissioners and Director Willis. This item will
appear on the agenda for February 13, 2024 for consideration to award
additional (unallocated) ARPA Community Grant Funds to four organizations.
B. Staff Recommendations for Short Term Rentals Public Safety
In 2023, the city started to engage with residents and Short-Term Rental owners
through in-person workshops and online surveys to collect feedback and learn
more about issues regarding Short-Term Rentals in our community. At the
11/13/23 worksession, it was discussed for staff to provide recommendations on
how to better regulate Short-Term Rentals to ensure quality of life for all residents
in the city. Public Safety will be providing a presentation on recommendations
to better regulate Short-Term Rentals and Planning will also provide a
presentation on potential zoning changes for Short-Term Rentals.
Chief Kozal started by providing an overview of the current Short Term Rental
program including the number of current Short Term Rentals, the number of
police calls, information from a portal where neighbors can report incidents,
etc. Information regarding registration and unregistered Short Term Rentals and
the enforcement process was also presented. Recommendations are also
being provided as to how to strengthen enforcement, among other things.
Mike Franzak, Planning Director, provided information for consideration of
Page 2 of 5
Page 9 of 220
several options, including an overlay district or limit on the number of Short Term
Rentals and/or potentially splitting the city into different zones with different
caps, no caps, whatever would work best for the area. We could also limit the
number of STR's side by side or on a block so that there isn't too high of a
concentration in any one area. Commissioners provided feedback on the some
ideas and suggestions that were presented.
C. Apple Avenue Corridor Improvements Public Works
Staff presented the outcomes of the Apple Avenue traffic study, some
engagement feedback received from a core group of stakeholders over the
past several months, and funding discussions with MDOT all with the goal of
defining what Apple Avenue could look like in 2027 after MDOT's rebuild.
MDOT has programmed approximately $24 million dollars to rebuild Apple
Avenue from downtown Muskegon to US-31 in 2026. They have been open and
willing to engage with the City on what the next version of Apple Avenue might
look like, and the time has come to combine all the various sources of input and
determine the framework under which MDOT will begin to design the project.
Some of the items that staff will present for review:
The results of a traffic study by ProgressiveAE
The process by which staff, ProgressiveAE and MDOT met with stakeholders and
received input about how Apple is used and what improvements could be
made
Concept designs prepared by ProgressiveAE based on that engagement
process
The results of meetings with MDOT to determine what the state can pay for and
what may require City cost sharing
The results of utility studies and video taping, showing which utilities will need to
be replaced as a part of the project (at the City's cost)
Taking into account all of these items, staff will propose a framework for Apple
Avenue including what each item may cost the City and how it will further the
community's vision for Apple Avenue. Some of the items identified will need to
be planned and budgeted for in 2026, while others may be things the City and
MDOT partner on to create the space and opportunity for future improvements
past 2026.
Dan VanderHeide, Public Works Director presented information relating to the
option of the city assisting MDOT in the design process for the reconstruction of
Apple Avenue scheduled for 2026.
Deborah Sweet, Community Engagement Manager, reviewed the efforts the
city has made to engage the community on the topic. Engagement included
Page 3 of 5
Page 10 of 220
business owners, residents, bus users, walkers, subject experts, and city staff. Dan
VanderHeide also provided an overview of the take aways from the traffic
study that was conducted and reviewed the city's potential participation in the
road project.
Discussion took place.
D. Water Affordability Grant Application Public Works
Staff presented a 100%-funded opportunity to study water affordability in the
City of Muskegon.
The State of Michigan has made available $5.7 million dollars in grant funds to
help communities study water affordability through the Affordability and
Planning Grant, part of the MI Clean Water Plan, due February 19, 2024. Staff
has long had interest in learning more about affordability in Muskegon,
including efforts by Deputy City Manager Mikesell in 2020 and 2021. To further
those efforts, Prein & Newhof has offered to help the City prepare a grant
application for this program.
The grant will be used to gather data on affordability in Muskegon, learn about
how affordability affects our residents, investigate other community efforts
around affordability and how those efforts have been received and
implemented, and determine how a community action agency (such as Mid-
Michigan Community Action Agency, the City's current partner for utility
assistance) can help the City manage a water affordability program.
The grant is a planning grant, and does not commit the City to implementing an
affordability program or any associated rate changes. Once the report is
received, the City could choose to implement any or all of the report's
recommendations.
Some of the deliverables from the grant will include mapping and other data
on affordability within the City, the time and efforts associated with current
assistance and billpay practices that could be offset by an affordability
program, the finances a program would require and ways the City could gather
the resources, the ordinance changes required and other legal ramifications,
etc. The grant allows and the process is expected to take one year to
complete. Public engagement will be a part of the effort and is planned to be
covered by the grant.
Public Works Director, Dan VanderHeide presented information regarding the
water affordability grant. Discussion took place.

E. Poverty Exemption Updates Treasury
We last updated our Poverty Exemption Policy in 2022. Our assessor reviews the
policy annually and has suggested updates this year in order to comply with
State standards. It is recommended that we remove the section regarding the
reduction and phase out. Although we added that section in 2022 and
modeled it after another (larger) city, recent decisions indicate this section
would not pass the State audit. The State audits our policy every five years.
It has also been recommended that we add a line indicating it is necessary to
file State forms 5737, Application for MCL 211.7u Poverty Exemption, and 5739,
Affirmation of Ownership and Occupancy to Remain Exempt by Reason of
Poverty, each year. The State has created these standardized forms to replace
the old forms, which were created by each municipality. A document
indicating the recommended changes is in the packet.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the recommended changes to the
attached Poverty Exemption Policy.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Commissioner Keener, to approve
the recommended changes to the attached Poverty Exemption Policy.

Michigan high water of 2020, with the cost of replacement being estimated at
$1,025,000. The Disability Network of West Michigan has been consulted
regarding accessibility at Kruse Park, and agrees that a staircase is more
accessible than no structure at all. Staff also have heard concerns about
degradation of the dunes due to the current method of access. It is important
to note that these stairs are not the final solution to access the beach at Kruse
Park, but they are an improvement over the current lack of formal access. Staff
continues to work with disability advocates and funding agencies to improve

Page 19 of 220
access to the beach at Kruse Park.
On December 20, 2023 the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee
unanimously voted to seek proposals for a staircase to replace the beach
access at Kruse Park. The city issued an RFP on December 27 2023 seeking
proposals from qualified contractors for construction of these stairs at Kruse Park.
Out of the 3 proposals received, North Shore Property Solutions had the lowest
cost as well as familiarity with building staircases on dunes. Specifically, dunes
that lead to beaches that have been effected by high waters. The bid tab is
shown below.
North Shore Property Solutions - $38,500
Quest Design Build - $53,519
Freedom Construction - $54,677
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $38,500

L. Social District permit for Rake Beer Project Community Engagement
The City Commission must recommend approval of the Michigan Liquor Control
Commission permits of participating licensed establishments in the Downtown
Muskegon Social District. With the establishment of the Downtown Muskegon
Social District, participating licensed establishments must receive a Social District
permit from the Michigan Liquor Control Commission. The MLCC must first
receive a recommendation for approval from the City Commission before
granting the permits. Rake Beer Project LLC has been a social district
participating licensed establishment at its former location at 794 Pine Street.
With the move to 500 W. Western Avenue, Suite 200, Rake must receive a new
social district permit with its new MLCC license for that location. This item
corrects the business' address from city commission action on May 9, 2023.

M. Allocation of remaining ARPA Community Grant Funds Manager's Office
Staff is requesting approval to redirect $150,000 to additional applicants of the
City's ARPA Community Grant Program who were not previously selected for
funding in late 2023.
Background
2/14/23: City Commission authorized $1.6M from the City’s allocation of
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to establish the City's ARPA Community
Grant Program. Eligible applicants included non-profit orgs, small businesses and
each neighborhood association.
3/1/23 - 3/31/23: Grant application period open; 60 applications received.
April 2023 - May 2023: Review of applications and established ARPA Community
Grant Review Committee. Six members included: Lawrence Baker (Ward 1),
Leon Howard (Ward 2), Jennifer Sanocki (Ward 3), Nina Leask (Ward 4),
Jonathan Seyferth (City Manager), and Sharonda Carson (Director, Community
and Neighborhood Services). Two additional advisors – Community Foundation
and United Way
June 2023: The Review Committee held four public meetings at City Hall on
6/5/23, 6/7/23, 6/22/23 and 6/29/23. A multistep scoring process was used to
review and evaluate all applications. The responses to 9 questions on the
application served as the evaluation criteria on which to base the scores.
Projects were ranked by the cumulative average of each committee members
scores.
The Review Committee recommended (22) project proposals for the
Page 9 of 13
Page 21 of 220
Commission’s consideration. On August 2, 2023, the Commission approved (21)
proposals for funding. At that meeting, a recommended proposal from Pioneer
Resources in the amount of $150,000 was removed due to conflict of interest
documentation involving Commissioner Gorman which had not yet been
resolved. Upon resolution of the matter, the Pioneer Resources project was
brought back to the Commission for unanimous consideration. The proposal did
not ultimately receive enough support and was subsequently denied. Thus,
$150,000 was then made available to be redirected to other applicants.
As of 12/31/23, the remaining balance of uncommitted funds from the city's
ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) allocation ($22,881,894) is approximately
$435,133.40. (Public Safety has an action item later in the meeting allocating this
balance to cover a portion of the cost for a fire truck.)
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $150,000
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 101-901-982-092112
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the distribution of $150,000, from the City's
ARPA Community Grant Fund, to the following entities - $25,000 to Mediation &
Restorative Services; $10,000 to HBCU Club of Muskegon LLC; $50,000 to Forrest
Tax & Accounting Services; and $65,000 to Muskegon Retirement Apts, Inc, dab

A. Acquisition of Vacant Lot at 748 Catherine for Infill Housing from
Muskegon Land Bank - Tabled on 1/23/2024 Economic Development
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. 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.

2024-21 NEW BUSINESS
A. Hackley Public Library Agreement Updates Manager's Office
As Hackely Public Library continues to evolve and separate itself from Muskegon
Public Schools, there are several agreements the City was originally a party to,
which need to be amended with City approval. The City has no financial
interest in any of these transactions.
Hackley Public Library (HPL) was established pursuant to a District Library
Agreement between the District and the City of Muskegon, which is attached.
The District Library Agreement requires the District to lease the Hackley Public
Library and Torrent House to HPL and to make certain annual contributions to
HPL. The school district is looking to transfer ownership of the Torrent House to
HPL (the current user). But, because the District Library Agreement is between
the District and the City, we also need City approval to acknowledge that the
City agrees with the property transfer. An amendment to the District Library
Agreement prepared by the District and the Library is attached. Because the
District Library Establishment Act requires such amendments to be approved by
the State Librarian, HPL has also forwarded the amendment to the State
Librarian for preliminary review.
In addition, the City of Muskegon previously held title to the Torrent House, and
a deed in the chain of title grants the City of Muskegon a right of first refusal to
purchase the property if the then-current owner “intends to transfer ownership
to another than a not for profit entity.” HPL is a “not-for-profit entity” as used in
the deed, and, therefore, the property transfer from the District to HPL does not
trigger the City’s right of first refusal. However, the District and HPL request that
the City acknowledge the right of first refusal is not triggered by signing the
attached Memorandum of Understanding.
It should be noted that the City's first right of refusal to the property will be
maintained with this property transfer. So, if, in the future, HPL were to look to sell
the property to an entity other than a non-profit, the City would still have its right
of first refusal. This is primarily an acknowledgment that this property transfer
doesn't trigger the first right of refusal.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: March 12, 2024 Title: Contingent Assignment Agreement -
Choice One Bank/Adelaide Pointe
Submitted by: Jonathan Seyferth, City Manager Department: Manager's Office
Brief Summary:
Choice One Bank, has asked the City to approve a Contingent Assignment Agreement between the
bank and AP. The agreement provides limited rights to the bank for the use of the boat launch at
Hartshorn (the same agreement we have with AP). This agreement would only come into play if AP
were to default on its agreement with the bank. This ensures business operations can continue.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Choice One Bank has asked the City to approve a Contingent Assignment Agreement between itself
and AP. The agreement provides limited rights to Choice One Bank for using the boat launch at
Hartshorn (the same agreement we have with AP) to continue in/out boat operations. This
agreement would only come into play if AP defaulted on its agreement with Choice One Bank. This is
not confirming new operations options and is only an insurance policy for the Bank that the City
needs to be a party to for full effect.
City staff has agreed to this as it is simply an insurance policy for Choice One Bank and does not
materially change any of the operations, agreements, PUD, etc... that are in place. Because it is an
agreement the City would be a party to, it needs to be approved by the Commission.
The City's legal counsel was party to the development of the agreement.

CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
This Contingent Assignment Agreement (“Agreement”), by and between, Adelaide Pointe
QOZB, LLC (“Adelaide” or “Borrower”) and ChoiceOne Bank (“ChoiceOne” or “Lender”) is
made on December 12, 2023 (the “Effective Date”) on the terms and conditions set forth below.
BACKGROUND
In order to secure a loan entered into by Adelaide and ChoiceOne on _______________, 20__,
for the construction of a boat storage building, Adelaide wishes to assign and ChoiceOne
wishes to accept an assignment of the limited rights and responsibilities pertaining to the
use of City property for the purpose of using a certain boat launch (the “Boat Launch”)
adjacent to a certain dry boat storage building on Adelaide property (the “Boat Storage
Building”), pursuant to the terms of the Cooperative Development and Use Agreement. The
exercise of such rights by ChoiceOne shall be contingent upon the default of Adelaide under
the terms of the loan documents.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the respective and mutual
agreements contained herein, said parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purpose. This Assignment is made for valuable consideration received to secure the
payment of Borrower’s debt to Lender under the loan documents and to secure the
performance of Borrower’s obligations under the documents.
2. Assignment. Borrower, contingent on the default described in Paragraph 3 of this
Agreement, assigns and transfers to Lender the limited rights and responsibilities of the use
of the Boat Launch, as set forth in Paragraph 2 of the Cooperative Development and Use
Agreement, in the name of the Borrower. Such assignment shall only be effective for the
owner of the Boat Storage Building.
Such assignment does not alter, and is subject to, the rights, responsibilities, remedies, and
obligations held by Adelaide or City under the terms of the Cooperative Development and
Page 28 of 220
Use Agreement as a whole. If such assignment itself results in any alteration of the
responsibilities and obligations under the terms of the Cooperative Development and Use
Agreement as a whole held by Borrower or Lender, such alteration must be specifically
approved, in writing, by City, prior to the vesting of any rights in Lender as an assignee. If
the Cooperative Development and Use Agreement is terminated or expires, this assignment
is voided.
3. Contingent on default. Borrower agrees that the assignment described in
Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, which is limited to the use of the Boat Launch, shall
automatically assign and transfer to Lender upon a default under the loan documents that
continues beyond the cure period for such a default, upon written notice to Borrower after
such a default, and when Lender becomes the owner of the Boat Storage Building.
4. Status of the Cooperative Use Agreement. Borrower warrants to Lender that the
Cooperative Use Agreement is in effect; that Borrower has not assigned, pledged, transferred,
or otherwise encumbered the Cooperative Use Agreement or Borrower’s rights or interests in
that agreement; and that no party to the Cooperative Development and Use Agreement is in
default under that agreement except as previously disclosed in writing to Lender.
5. Transferability. Lender may assign its limited rights to the use of the Boat Launch,
as set forth in this Agreement, to a subsequent buyer of the Boat Storage Building. Such
assignment shall only vest when such sale is closed and the buyer becomes the owner of the
Boat Storage Building. In the event that Lender does not assign its limited rights to a
subsequent buyer of the Boat Storage Building and such buyer in fact becomes the owner of
the Boat Storage Building, this Agreement is terminated.
6. Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be effective upon receipt and shall
be addressed as follows:

Commission Meeting Date: March 12, 2024 Title: Apple Avenue Utility Design Services
Submitted by: Dan VanderHeide, Public Works Department: Public Works
Director
Brief Summary:
Staff requests approval to enter into a contract with Prein & Newhof in the amount of $65,800 for
design of utility improvements in Apple Avenue that will be included in MDOT's 2026 reconstruction of
Apple.
Detailed Summary & Background:
MDOT is rebuilding Apple Avenue from downtown to US-31 in 2026. They have offered that the City
may include utility improvements within the project limits in their contract, as long as the City pays for
the improvements. The City will save quite a bit of money by being included in the MDOT contract,
as we only have to pay for the specific utility work - none of the pavement costs, and a large
reduction in mobilization and other related costs. In order to take advantage of the offer, the City
needs to design the improvements to MDOT's standards and on MDOT's timeline.
Due to their familiarity with the City's utility systems and standards, with MDOT's design and
construction requirements and staff, and with other area projects such as a County force main
project crossing Apple on a similar timeline, staff solicited a proposal from Prein & Newhof to design
the utility improvements. Prein & Newhof has been assisting the City with capital planning efforts and
the state revolving loan fund projects, and was instrumental in helping the City identify which portions
of which utilities in Apple are in need of replacement. Due to the timeline associated with the
design, this expense will be budgeted in the 2024-25 fiscal year. Any portions that fall in this current
fiscal year will be accommodated by existing budgeted line items. The cost of the actual
improvements will fall in fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27 and will be budgeted appropriately at that
time.
With Prein & Newhof's help, staff have identified the following improvements that are planned for
design and inclusion in MDOT's project:
• Replace water main from Muskegon Avenue to Jefferson Street.
• Replace water main from Getty to approximately 550 ft west of Getty.
• Replace sanitary sewer from Muskegon Avenue to Sanford Street.
• Replace sanitary sewer from Getty Avenue to approximately 550 ft west of Getty Avenue.
• Replace sanitary sewer crossing at Spring Street.
• Replace north side sanitary sewer from Oak Grove to Creston, extend laterals across to the
south side to connect the south properties, abandon the south side sanitary sewer.

D. Construction/Field Observation - If Client elects to have Engineer provide construction/field observation, client
understands that construction/field observation is conducted to reduce, not eliminate the risk of problems arising during
construction, and that provision of the service does not create a warranty or guarantee of any type. In all cases, the
contractors, subcontractors, and/or any other persons performing any of the construction work, shall retain responsibility for
the quality and completeness of the construction work and for adhering to the plans, specifications and other contract
documents.
E. Construction Means and Methods - Engineer shall not have control or charge of and shall not be responsible for
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, or for any safety precautions and programs in

with the plans, specifications or other contract documents.

services and shall waive any and all claims against Engineer that may be connected thereto.
2. In the event the project site is not owned by the Client, the Client must obtain all necessary permission for Engineer to
enter and conduct investigations on the project site. It is assumed that the Client possesses all necessary permits and
licenses required for conducting the scope of services. Access negotiations may be performed at additional costs.

Hazardous or Contaminated Materials/Conditions present at the site.
2. Engineer and Client agree that the discovery of unknown or unconfirmed Hazardous or Contaminated
Materials/Conditions constitutes a changed condition that may require Engineer to renegotiate the scope of or terminate
its services. Engineer and Client also agree that the discovery of said Materials/Conditions may make it necessary for
Engineer to take immediate measures to protect health, safety, and welfare of those performing Engineer’s services.
Client agrees to compensate Engineer for any costs incident to the discovery of said Materials/Conditions.

natural phenomena or human intervention, become contaminated. The Client waives any claim against Engineer, and
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Engineer harmless from any claims or liability for injury or loss in the event that
Engineer does not detect the presence of contaminants through techniques commonly employed.
4. The Client recognizes that although Engineer is required by the nature of the services to have an understanding of the
laws pertaining to environmental issues, Engineer cannot offer legal advice to the Client. Engineer urges that the Client
seek legal assistance from a qualified attorney when such assistance is required. Furthermore, the Client is cautioned to
not construe or assume that any representations made by Engineer in written or conversational settings constitute a legal
representation of environmental law or practice.

wastes generated during investigation procedures. Should such wastes be generated during this investigation, the Client
will contract directly with a qualified waste hauler and disposal facility.

Engineer shall make a reasonable effort to contact the owners of identified underground utilities that may be affected by the
services for which Engineer has been contracted, including contacting the appropriate underground utility locating entities

Client and Engineer shall each deliver certificates of insurance to the other evidencing their coverages.

specified in project contract documents. Client shall cause Engineer, Engineer’s consultants, employees, and agents to be
listed as additional insureds with respect to any Client or Contractor insurances related to projects for which Engineer

that, in the event of payment of any loss or damages, subrogation rights under these Terms and Conditions are hereby
waived by the insurer with respect to claims against Engineer.

(updated March 29, 2023) Page 40 of 220
M. Differing Site Conditions - Client recognizes that actual site conditions may vary from the assumed site conditions or test
locations used by Engineer as the basis of its design. Consequently, Engineer does not guarantee or warrant that actual site
conditions will not vary from those used as the basis of Engineer’s design, interpretations and recommendations. Engineer is
not responsible for any costs or delays attributable to differing site conditions. .
N. Terms of Payment - Unless alternate terms are included in the Agreement, Client will be invoiced on a monthly basis until

payment of any invoice not be received within 30 days, the amount due shall bear a service charge of 1.5 percent per month
or 18 percent per year plus the cost of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees. If Client has any objections to any
invoice submitted by Engineer, Client must so advise Engineer in writing within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the invoice.
Unless otherwise agreed, Engineer shall invoice Client based on hourly billing rates and direct costs current at the time of
service performance. Outside costs such as, but not limited to, equipment, meals, lodging, fees, and subconsultants shall be

files and to protect its professional reputation.
P. Severability and Waiver of Provisions - Any provision or part of the Agreement held to be void or unenforceable under
any laws or regulations shall be deemed stricken, and all remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and binding upon
Client and P&N, who agree that the Agreement shall be reformed to replace such stricken provision or part thereof with a
valid and enforceable provision that comes as close as possible to expressing the intention of the stricken provision. Non-
enforcement of any provision by either party shall not constitute a waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect the
enforceability of that provision or of the remainder of the Agreement.
Q. Dispute Resolution - If a dispute arises between the parties relating to the Agreement, the parties agree to use the following
procedure prior to either party pursuing other available remedies:
1. Prior to commencing a lawsuit, the parties must attempt mediation to resolve any dispute. The parties will jointly appoint
a mutually acceptable person not affiliated with either of the parties to act as mediator. If the parties are unable to agree
on the mediator within twenty (20) calendar days, they shall seek assistance in such regard from the Circuit Court of the
State and County wherein the Project is located, who shall appoint a mediator. Each party shall be responsible for paying
all costs and expenses incurred by it, but shall split equally the fees and expenses of the mediator. The mediation shall
proceed in accordance with the procedures established by the mediator.
2. The parties shall pursue mediation in good faith and in a timely manner. In the event the mediation does not result in
resolution of the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days, then, upon seven (7) calendar days’ written notice to the other
party, either party may pursue any other available remedy.
3. In the event of any litigation arising from the Agreement, including without limitation any action to enforce or interpret
any terms or conditions or performance of services under the Agreement, Engineer and Client agree that such action will
be brought in the District or Circuit Court for the County of Kent, State of Michigan (or, if the federal courts have
exclusive jurisdiction over the subject matter of the dispute, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Michigan), and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of said court.
R. Force Majeure - Engineer shall not be liable for any loss or damage due to failure or delay in rendering any services called
for under the Agreement resulting from any cause beyond Engineer’s reasonable control.
S. Assignment - Neither party shall assign its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement without the express written
consent of the other party.
T. Modification - The Agreement may not be modified except in writing signed by the party against whom a modification is
sought to be enforced.
U. Survival - All express representations, indemnifications, or limitations of liability included in the Agreement shall survive
its completion or termination for any reason.
V. Third-Party Beneficiary - Client and Engineer agree that it is not intended that any provision of this Agreement establishes
a third-party beneficiary giving or allowing any claim or right of action whatsoever by a third party.
W. Fee Escalation - Engineer’s fees are based on its billing rates, which are adjusted annually. For multi-year projects,
Engineer’s fees incorporate an estimate of future billing rates. If inflation causes actual billing rates to exceed these
estimates, Engineer reserves the right to adjust its fees accordingly.

For purposes of determining possession, the transaction will be considered closed once all necessary documents have been signed
and received by escrow agent and funds have been received by the escrow agent.
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 $ 500 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. Seller shall also be responsible for snow
removal and/or landscape maintenance. 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.

24. Earnest Money Deposit: For valuable consideration, Buyer gives Seller until 4pm (time) on
02/09/2024 (date), to deliver the written acceptance of this offer and agrees that this offer, when accepted by

shall be submitted to Home Realty (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 Buyer is entitled to a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit. 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.

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

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: March 12, 2024 Title: Contract for Tree Removal Services
Submitted by: Mike Franzak, Planning Director Department: Planning
Brief Summary:
Staff is working with three developers on the sale of 10 City-owned residential lots for new home
construction. Nine of these lots have several trees located within the potential building footprints,
making them unattractive to developers due to the costs associated with tree removal. A request for
proposal for tree services was listed on the City's website. Staff recommends awarding the contract
to Monarch Tree Services, as they appear to be a qualified company with the lowest price. Trees
must be removed from the lots by April 15. The lots include 466/486 Erickson, 1172/1243/1311/1357
Marquette, 1328 James, 1554 Marcoux, and 509 Octavius.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: March 12, 2024 Title: 811 Integration into DPW Work Order
Software
Submitted by: Dan VanderHeide, Public Works Department: Public Works
Director
Brief Summary:
Staff requests authorization to enter into a two-year contract in the amount of $6,990.50 with
OpenGov, Inc., maker of DPW's new Cartegraph asset management and work order software, to
integrate the state's 811 (MISSDIG) system into the Cartegraph software.
Detailed Summary & Background:
In November of 2023, the Commission approved the first two departments at DPW to begin
transitioning to Cartegraph, an asset management and work order tracking software system
designed for public works. City staff and cartegraph have been working to implement the software,
and the project remains on track for a "go-live" of Summer 2024.
During parts of the implementation process, it became clear that Cartegraph can also manage the
City's 811 MISSDIG calls. 811/MISSDIG is the system which allows someone who plans to dig
underground to request markings and flags be placed to help them located existing utilities. The City
currently uses a web-based solution from Irth Solutions. Tracking the 811 requests in Cartegraph will
reduce the number of software programs the field staff will need to use and learn, will allow long-
term tracking of requests and associated costs in the same system as other work tasks, and will
reduce the City's costs by about $6,000 per year.
The two-year contract with OpenGov includes integration services (joining the City's Cartegraph and
811 accounts together) as well as the first two years of hosting services. Ongoing costs are
significantly reduced from our current Irth Solutions costs, and are expected in the $500 per year
range. This is an addendum to the Master Services Agreement already reviewed and approved by
the attorney.

Submitted by: Kyle Karczewski, Parks and Department: DPW- Parks
Recreation Director
Brief Summary:
Staff requests approval to enter into a 3-year contract with Kerkstra Portable Restroom Service, Inc for
as-needed portable restroom services.
Detailed Summary & Background:
The Parks & Recreation Department utilizes several portable toilets annually throughout our robust
park system that has 34 parks and 12 restroom facilities. We supplement the shortfall in restrooms with
a contract that we renew every 3 years for portable restroom services. These services are also used
at various City-run events. The City released an RFP for portable toilets on December 11th 2023 with
bid opening in early February. Kerkstra Portable Restroom Service, Inc. was the most competitively
priced proposal based on anticipated usage. Their price proposal is included for review. These costs
are included in this year's budget, and will also be budgeted properly in future fiscal years.
The two proposals, Kerkstra & United Rentals do not have the same fee format. United Rentals has
different prices for different locations as well as a different pricing model for multiple cleanings. A few
examples are listed below:
Pere Marquette - 2 Standard / 1 ADA Cleaned x2 per week
Kerkstra: $320 / $270
United Rental: $600 / $380
Sheldon Park - 1 Standard / 1 ADA Clean 1x per week
Kerkstra: $130 / $240
United Rental: $150 / $190
Kerkstra has shown to be dependable and has a track record of immediate service for tipped /
vandalized toilets, emergency cleaning calls and relocations.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: March 12, 2024 Title: Muskegon Greenway Study Partnership
Submitted by: Kyle Karczewski, Parks and Department: DPW- Parks
Recreation Director
Brief Summary:
Staff requests approval to contribute $50,000 in matching funds to WMSRDC (the West Michigan
Shoreline Regional Development Commission) & MCBC (Muskegon County Bicycling Coalition) for a
greenway study that will focus on recreation in the urban core of the Muskegon area.
Detailed Summary & Background:
MCBC & WMSRDC have requested $50,000 in matching funding for a study that would develop a
Muskegon greenway concept. The goal would be to create a healthier Muskegon through a safer,
more pedestrian-friendly community. WMSRDC & MCBC have devoted funding for this partnership.
We are one of multiple municipalities they have contacted in the hopes of creating a regional
concept. A greenway concept would be pivotal for grant acquisitions and likely lead to further
funding as this plan would have a direct impact on improved health & well-being for our community.
The proposed scope for this plan would include reviewing the Muskegon Lake Greenway and its
tributary corridors (including the Ryerson Creek corridor as recommended in the City Master Plan).
This aspect of the plan would consider how the existing public spaces along the Muskegon Lakeshore
Trail can be better integrated to feel like a seamless experience for the user, to determine whether
brownfield properties along the route could be enhanced or transformed into parkland, review
amenities needs for a functional Greenway, integrate the Greenway into the community and ensure
equitable access, and review any property needs to enhance the Greenway. Several other corridors
within the City would be reviewed as well, likely including the “Ambrosia” corridor that has right of
way owned by the State of Michigan, the “Keating” corridor which was the subject of a recent
Livability Lab project, and a connector corridor from Beach Street and Kruse Park through Dune
Harbor Park to Norton Shores.
The planning process will include extensive public engagement and will produce high-quality
renderings of proposed greenway corridors that will illustrate what these facilities would be like for the
public, staff, and policy-makers. This would take the trail routes identified in the City Master Plan to
another level of planning and design and ensure that they function within a great network of trails
outside City limits.
This process would be complementary to parks plans underway or under consideration such as
Richards Park, McGraft Park, Kruse Park, and Hartshorn Park. It would also build off the Muskegon
Lakeshore Chamber’s plan for the waterfront area in downtown Muskegon.
The City budgeted funds in this current fiscal year for Parks & Recreation master planning efforts and
this study fits into that criteria. The goal would be to kick-off the study in late Spring or early Summer.

Hearing, Case 2023-02: Staff initiated request to amend Article XX, Sections 2006.12, 2006.14,
2006.15, 2006.16, and 2006.17 of the zoning ordinance to eliminate the entry door transparency
requirements for certain building types.
SUMMARY
1. The form-based code requires a minimum amount of transparency for windows. The code
has helped develop quality buildings that interact with the public realm. This has been
particularly helpful in commercial districts, where pedestrians have the ability to connect
with commercial spaces from the sidewalk.
2. A new development must provide a minimum number of windows on a front building
façade and doors must also have a minimum amount of transparency. This requirement
has worked great for commercial buildings but has started to cause issues with new
residential development.
3. The code requires that 25% of front doors must be transparent. This requirement doesn’t
work as well with residential developments. Often times a window on a door will give
access into a living room or kitchen, reducing privacy for the occupant. Blinds and other
window treatments are often hard to find for door windows. This has led to some
property owners hanging sheets in windows.
4. Staff is requesting to keep the transparency requirement for commercial buildings, but
eliminate them for residential buildings. This amendment would eliminate the 25% door
transparency requirement for the following building types in the form-based code:
live/work, small multiplex, rowhouse, duplex, and detached.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: March 12, 2024 Title: Pere Marquette Concession Application -
Lazy Dazy Coffee
Submitted by: Kyle Karczewski, Parks and Department: DPW- Parks
Recreation Director
Brief Summary:
The Parks Department has received an application from Lazy Dazy Coffee, LLC to provide
concession services at Pere Maruette Park. The fee for this service would be $1,000 + 5% of gross
receipts.
Detailed Summary & Background:
The Parks Department has received an application from Lazy Dazy Coffee, LLC to provide
concession services in our parks system. The requested location is Pere Marquette Park. The benefit
for the City of Muskegon would be additional revenue as the concession policy states that vendors
at this location would pay $1,000 + 5% of gross receipts. This would be an annual contract, which is
different from the brick & mortar 5-year contract, as Lazy Dazy operates as a mobile food truck. This
particular vendor does provide a service that does not compete with current vendors at this park
(Beach Cove & The Deck) which makes it an appealing applicant to our park experience.
Hours, specific location and frequency of operations has yet to be determined as this application is
pending approval.

PARK CONCESSION POLICY EFFECTIVE: July 26th,
2022
PURPOSE
To formalize the process and procedures related to concession operations within the City of Muskegon

The City of Muskegon maintains this policy with the goals of:
• Providing a variety of services to park visitors that could not be provided by other means •
Meet the needs and wants of park users
Page 119 of 220
• Activate and engage our park spaces
• Offer opportunities for small business to start and grow
COVERED AREAS & APPLICABILITY
This policy applies to any concession proposing to operate in the traditionally recognized city park
system, with the following exceptions:
• Hackley Park is excluded from this agreement and no concessions outside of approved special
events are permitted to operate within Hackley Park.
• This policy does not apply to Western Market, Muskegon Farmers Market, Trinity Health Arena, or
any other areas which may contain similar operations but are not a part of the traditionally
recognized city park system.
• This policy also does not apply to “The Deck” restaurant which operates within Pere Marquette Park,
to “Fisherman’s Landing” campground and boat launch, nor to the “Clippers” baseball facility that
operates within Marsh Field, as all are under specific lease agreements and terms.
• Concessions operating as a part of an approved special event or an approved sports league are
exempt from this policy.
This policy does apply to the few brick and mortar concession spaces located within the City Parks;
currently the list of brick and mortar spaces is as follows, with future changes possible:
• The designated concession space within the Pere Marquette Park Bathhouse •
The Pere Marquette Park secondary building located south of the bathhouse •

2
APPLICATION & AGREEMENT PROCESS
Applications will be accepted year-round on the attached form.
Page 120 of 220
There is no fee associated with applying to be a concessionaire within the City Parks. If the application is
approved, fees will be charged for the right to operate within the city park system as outlined below.
Staff will review applications in accordance with this policy. Applications approved by staff will be
presented to the Commission for consideration before adoption of the agreement.
Once an application is approved by the City Commission, city and the concessionaire will enter into a
formal agreement. General agreement terms attached to each agreement will be specifically crafted to
match the agreed upon activities, fees, and services as allowable in this policy.
Agreements shall be renewed annually, except that agreements within a designated brick and mortar
space may be proposed for an extended duration, with the maximum length not to exceed 5 years.
Returning operations for brick and mortar facilities in good standing shall be offered first right of refusal
to renew their agreement for up to one renewal term of the same duration as the original term. When
brick and mortar spaces become available or at the end of a renewal term the brick and mortar spaces
will be offered as available through a request for proposal process.
FEES & WAIVERS
Concessionaire shall be obligated to pay the fees outlined in the agreement.
The standard fee to operate a concession shall be set at $1,000/Year + 5% of gross receipts for any
operation conducted within Kruse Park, Pere Marquette Park, Margaret Drake Elliot Park or Harbor Towne
Beach, and $250/Year + 5% of gross receipts for any concession operating in any other park.
Concession agreements proposed for a brick and mortar location as described above shall be set at
$1,000/Year + 10% of gross receipts or $2,500/Year, whichever is expected to be more.
Revenue generated from concession operations shall be deposited in the City General Fund for support
of park and recreation operations in the City.

same time as a concession application. Fee waivers will be evaluated according to the point system
described on that form.

Page 138 of 220
9/28/21 - Original PUD was approved with the following conditions 1) A revised site plan that addresses narrower streets and water main and
fire hydrant locations is approved by staff 2) The site plan receives a stormwater permit.
Page 139 of 220
7/12/22 – First amendment to the PUD included the addition of Adelaide Ave and turned Adelaide Circle into a one-way street with angled parking.
A condominium building was removed and the boat services building was separated from the restaurant/retail building. The warehousing/boat
storage buildings between Adelaide Ave and W Western Ave were slightly modified in size. The park and fishing pier on the east peninsula were
modified.
Page 140 of 220
2/8/23 – Second amendment included reducing the size of the marina, slightly rotating a condominium building to avoid the bike trail, removing
a condominium swimming pool, removal of the east basin boat launch, and the combination of two boat storage structure.
Page 141 of 220
7/11/23 – Third amendment to the PUD was approved by Planning Commission as minor changes. They included removal of a
condominium/retail building (55 residential units), changing the other condominium/retail building to a hotel (removal of 55 residential
units/addition of 125 hotel rooms), repositioning of a condominium building and slight modifications to Adelaide Circle.
Page 142 of 220
2/26/19 – Hartshorn Village PUD approved.
Page 143 of 220
4/12/22 – First amendment to the PUD. The amendment removed 17 single-family homes and added a 17-unit condominium building. The
proposed new street west of Fricano’s was moved slightly to the west.
Page 144 of 220
2023 – Second amendment to Hartshorn Village. The next phase (Phase 2) of the single-family development was reduced in size to 10 units (units
11-20). With the reduced scope of Phase 2, the existing access from W Western to the parking area along the lake will remain. Development plans
for the remaining property west of the access drive is yet to be determined. Once plans are finalized, the applicant will submit plans outlining the
details. The parking lot to the north of the bike path, adjacent to the lake, will also remain. Previous plans depicted this area as public green space.
A boat storage facility was added where the 17-unit condominium building was proposed. Alternate bike path around the building was added. It
was also noted that the Adelaide Point development will no longer be using the east basin to launch boats and will now be using the Hartshorn
launch ramp. The existing parking for Fricano’s Place will remain as it currently is and the new parking to the west will be eliminated.

Adelaide Pointe
1204 W. Western Avenue
Muskegon, MI 49441
Mr. Mike Franzak
Zoning Administrator
City of Muskegon
933 Terrace Street
Muskegon, MI 49441
Dear Mr. Franzak,
Please be aware that Adelaide Pointe does hereby intend to request modification to the
Adelaide Pointe PUD as previously approved. Adelaide Pointe believes that there is an
opportunity to improve shopping, mooring, ramp activities and fishing by relocating the
approved shopper dock within the East Basin to the forklift drop adjacent to the Hartshorn
Ramp. This modification will also enhance Adelaide Pointe’s boat launching capabilities as
enabled by the Cooperative Use Agreement.
The following is a summary of changes and benefits proposed:
Mooring
Figure 1
Docks 1, 2 and 3 as shown in
Figure 1 shall be used for the
operation of forklift
launching and retrieval
operations as previously
approved. Dock 4 shall be
used to stage customer
vessels and provide non-
customer members of the
public a shopper dock
location closer to downtown
than the previously approved
East Basin shopper dock. Per
the Cooperative Use
Agreement a charge may be
assessed to non-customer
members of the public to
cover staffing costs and
ensure proper upkeep and
maintenance of the dock.
Overnight mooring will not
Figure 2
be allowed and security on
all four gates will be put in
1204 W. Western Avenue Muskegon, MI 49441 – (231-726-2957)
Page 146 of 220
place to prevent injury and destruction of property. Terms and conditions of the relocated East Basin dock shall have
the same rights, conditions and obligations as previously approved.
Public Boat Ramp
Currently the Hartshorn has no protection from Easterly and North-Easterly wave conditions. Dock 4 shall act as a wave
attenuator and eliminate any sort of conditions that could cause injury or harm to citizens and their property while
launching and retrieving vessels. The additional protection provided will also reduce damage to the Hartshorn ramp and
property throughout the harbor.
Fishing Access
During the summer of 2023 Adelaide Pointe and Bear Lake Tavern funded a Purdue University study on the migratory
and spawning behaviors of Yellow Perch within the Muskegon Lake watershed. It was discovered that Muskegon Lake
has its own unique species of Yellow Perch that prefers shallower, warmer waters whereas Lake Michigan Yellow Perch
prefer deeper and colder waters. The East Basin has become one of the best fishing locations on Muskegon Lake for this
unique and previously undiscovered species of Yellow Perch. As Yellow Perch is also one of the most desired and tasty
species of fish this unique opportunity is of great benefit to the public. Relocating the previously approved East Basin
shopper dock preserves fishing access within the East Basin.
Should the City approve this relocation as illustrated a net new fishing resource will become available via Dock 4. A new
concrete pad will be poured to connect the parking lot to a ADA approved gangway and no forklift activity within close
proximity will take place to ensure safety. Reservation of dock usage rights per the Cooperative Use Agreement shall be
extended from the East Basin and be preserved. State of Michigan law regarding free navigation upon the surface of the
waters shall also be preserved.
Summary
The PUD change requested improves shopping, mooring, ramp activities and fishing to further strengthen the public
private partnership between the City of Muskegon and Adelaide Pointe. Adelaide Pointe humbly requests that these
changes be approved in an expedient manner so as to allow for State and Federal application submittals.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, considerations or ideas for improvement.
Sincerely,
Ryan M. Leestma

This Purchase and Development Agreement (“Agreement”) is made March 12, 2024 (“Effective
Date”), between the City of Muskegon, a Michigan municipal corporation, of 933 Terrace Street,
Muskegon, Michigan 49440 (“City”), and Robert Muusse, of 3465 Palmer Dr, Saugatuck MI, 49453,
(“Developer”), with reference to the following facts:
Background
A. Developer proposes to purchase and develop three (3) vacant property(s) 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
one (1) single-family house on each of the Project Property. (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 $9,000.00,
which shall be paid in cash or other immediately available funds at Closing (defined below) less the $1200
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 171 of 220
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 438 E Isabella Ave, Developer would be reimbursed
$1,800.00, which is 60% of the $3,000.00 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
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.
Page 172 of 220
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.”

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,
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.

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: March 12, 2024 Title: New Short Term Rental Registration
Temporary Pause
Submitted by: Jonathan Seyferth, City Manager Department: Manager's Office
Brief Summary:
A resolution to consider a targeted short-term rental registration pause on new short-term rental
registrations for 180 days.
Detailed Summary & Background:
The City has been examining STRs since the Spring of 2023. It is a complex issue with many strong
feelings and ideas on both sides of the debate. Following several public engagements, further
research, and taking into account potential state action on this topic, it is being recommended that
the City of Muskegon institute a temporary pause in the registration of new short-term vacation
rentals in residential zoning districts outside the DDA.
The temporary registration pause would not impact existing STRs anywhere in the city and would only
be for the registration of new STRs within residential districts of the City. The City would still allow new
STRs to be registered in the DDA District and within the City's business districts. Additionally, staff will
institute an appeal and review process for property owners in residential districts that have engaged
in significant economic activity to improve a property for STR purposes. Staff will use that criteria to
determine if a property owner can be issued an STR permit during the temporary registration pause.
Additionally, if the permit is denied by staff, the property owner can appeal the denial to the City
Commission.
The temporary registration pause will last 180 Days. It is necessary for the City to analyze and
potentially address short-term vacation rentals' impact on the public health, safety, and welfare in
these residential neighborhoods.
To allow the city time to analyze and address STRs' impacts within the community, staff recommends
a pause in new STR registrations. Provisions of the temporary pause would be as follows:
- Continue for 180 days (expiring on September 8, 2024);
- If needed, the pause may be extended for 180 days;
- Pause may end before the initial period if initiated by the City Commission;
- Applies only to residential zoning districts in the City outside the DDA (the pause does not apply to
the DDA or business districts);
- Applies only to new STR applications (does not bar current STR permit holders from renewing);
- An appeal and review process will be in place for individuals aggrieved by the registration pause.

RESOLUTION NO.______
A RESOLUTION TO IMPOSE A TEMPORARY PAUSE ON THE REGISTRATION OF
NEW SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTALS IN CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL ZONING
DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, in 2019, the City of Muskegon City Commission (“City Commission”) adopted an
ordinance requiring the registration and inspection of short-term vacation rentals within the City.
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that there are concerns that short-term rental vacation rentals
may have a negative impact on, be incompatible with, and disrupt the harmony, stability, and
family atmosphere of residential neighborhoods, and that existing ordinances may not provide
fully adequate protections to neighborhoods from these potential harms.
WHEREAS, the City is concerned that further increases in short-term vacation rentals in certain
areas of the City could undermine the character and stability of neighborhoods in certain
residential districts by, among other things:
1. Deceasing the number of long-term residents;
2. Decreasing the availability of long-term housing stock, thereby driving up prices and
making long-term residency less affordable;
3. Creating a significant number of vacant homes in the winter months; and,
4. Increasing levels of noise and traffic during the summer tourist season.
WHEREAS, a temporary pause on new (not previously licensed and operating) short-term
vacation rental registrations within residential districts located outside of the City’s Downtown
Development Authority (DDA) district is necessary in order to protect the public health, safety,
and general welfare of the property owners and residents of the City from the adverse effects of
short-term vacation rentals on neighboring and adjacent uses being conducted without benefit of
sufficient regulation and oversight to determine their appropriate placement and use pursuant to
the zoning ordinance.
WHEREAS, the temporary pause is necessary to allow the City to analyze and potentially
address the impact that short-term vacations rentals may have on the public health, safety, and
welfare in these residential neighborhoods, and the City intends to study regulations and
appropriate zoning districts relative to short-term vacation rental uses.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Commission resolves as follows:
A. Upon the adoption of this Resolution and continuing for a period of 180 days thereafter, a
temporary pause is imposed upon the submission, acceptance, processing, and approval
Page 217 of 220
of any application for a license related to a short-term vacation rental for residential
districts located outside of the DDA. City staff is directed to refuse to accept for filing
any such applications during such pause.
B. The pause imposed by this Resolution shall commence as of the date of this Resolution,
and shall expire 180 days thereafter, unless sooner repealed or thereafter extended.
Applications for short-term vacation rental licenses submitted prior to the date of
adoption of this Resolution shall be processed per existing rules and requirements.
C. The City may extend such temporary pause up to 180 additional days by resolution of the
City Commission if the City Commission determines it is necessary in order to protect
and promote the public health, safety, and welfare.
D. This Resolution has no effect on the processing of short-term vacation rental registration
applications that have already been received by the City as of the date of this Resolution
and accepted as administratively complete at the time this Resolution is made effective.
E. Any person aggrieved by the temporary pause under this Resolution may request review
and reconsideration by the City Manager by filing a written notice of appeal with the City
Manager. Any further appeal shall be before the City Commission. Such appeal shall be
taken by filing with the City Clerk a written statement requesting a hearing before the
City Commission and setting forth fully the grounds for the appeal. A hearing shall be
held within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request. Notice of the hearing shall be given
by the City Clerk in writing, setting forth the time and place of the hearing.
F. This Resolution has no effect on new short-term rental vacation applications for property
located in (i) the DDA or (ii) business districts.
G. The City and its consultants will need time to complete the process of analyzing and
potentially addressing the impact of short-term vacation rentals located in residential
districts outside of the DDA for the public health, safety, and general welfare;
H. The pause on short-term vacation rental registrations is being entered into in good faith,
with an expectation of diligence and swift action to address the need.
I. The pause on short-term vacation rental registrations will not deprive any property owner
of the reasonable and lawful use of their property.
J. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.
