GHG emissions by 2040.
Detailed Summary & Background:
In April 2023, the City Commission passed a resolution declaring the city’s commitment to climate
action initiatives and to combat the impact of climate change on our community and planet. The
city intends to reduce its organizational GHG emissions through deliberative budget, policy, and
administrative actions.
In February 2024, a Government Operations Greenhouse Gas Inventory was completed. Results of

Absent: Commissioner Destinee Keener
2025-27 NEW BUSINESS
A. Parking Enforcement Management System Public Safety
The police department is looking to switch over to a new parking enforcement
management system for paid parking to increase efficiency for our parking
enforcement officers and a more user-friendly experience for consumers.
Parking Enforcement has a contract with Passport Inc. to provide services for
people to purchase daily paid parking passes as well as pay any parking
citation. Their contract expires on 07/19/2025. We are looking into a new
parking enforcement system to increase efficiency and accuracy. T2 Systems
came in at the lowest bid compared to Passport and Aims Parking. T2 Systems
quoted $22,126 for the first year and a $10,764 annual cost for each year after
that.
T2 Systems also has a user-friendly app for customers to purchase paid parking
and a responsive customer service team. Using the T2 Systems would still allow
for annual parking passes to be purchased at kiosks. T2 Systems would add
additional options for people to purchase daily passes using an app, pay for
parking citations using an app, and parking enforcement to check parking
passes by reading license plates.
Timothy Kozal, Public Safety Director, explained the item and answered
questions.
B. Community Organization Gatherings at Farmers Market City Clerk
Page 1 of 2

Manager will place the organization between the picnic table area and food

2025-28 PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Brownfield Plan Amendment- 221 W. Webster Ave., 1040 2nd St., 221 West
Webster, LLC Economic Development
221 West Webster, LLC is requesting consideration of their brownfield plan
amendment for the redevelopment project located at 221 West Webster Avenue
and 1040 2nd Street.
The City of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority has received a request
from 221 West Webster, LLC for approval of a Brownfield Plan Amendment under Act
381. The proposed amendment involves the completed redevelopment of the former
Huntington Bank building, known as Core Plaza, located at 221 West Webster
Avenue & 1040 2nd Street, Muskegon, MI 49440. The redevelopment, initiated in 2021
and completed in 2025, successfully transformed the building into a multi-suite
commercial structure featuring a restaurant, boutique retail spaces, and office
space. The completed project consists of 42,888 sq ft of restored commercial space
with an estimated 45 jobs created. Approval of the Act 381 Brownfield Plan
Amendment to include the eligible property located at 221 West Webster Avenue &
1040 2nd Street within the City’s existing Brownfield Plan. This amendment permits the
use of tax increment financing (TIF) to reimburse the developer for eligible activities
Page 1 of 11

totaling $838,500. The estimated administrative cost to the Authority is $105,018, and
the Local Brownfield Revolving Fund capture is estimated at $306,814.
The Public Hearing opened to hear and consider any comments from the public. No

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the minutes.
D. Fireworks Display Permit for Muskegon Country Club City Clerk
Pyrotecnico Fireworks, Inc., is requesting approval of a fireworks display permit for
Saturday, July 5, 2025, at Muskegon Country Club, 2801 Lakeshore Drive. The Fire
Marshall will inspect the fireworks on the day of the event.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the fireworks display permit for Pyrotecnico
Fireworks, Inc., contingent upon inspection of the fireworks.
E. Rezoning of 1201 and 1147 3rd St and 236 Monroe Ave. (SECOND
READING) Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the properties at 1201 and 1147 3rd St and 236
Monroe Ave from Convenience & Comparison Business (B-2) to Form-Based Code,
Mainstreet (FBC, MS).
The “Midtown” portion of 3rd was rezoned from B-2 to Form-Based Code, Mainstreet in
2015. During the rezoning process a couple of property owners were hesitant to
Page 2 of 11
Page 111 of 215
rezone because of current or potential developments. The vacant lot at 1201 3rd St
was being used as a used-car sales lot at the time, but it has been vacant for close to
10 years. It’s not exactly clear why the parking lot of 1147 3rd St and 236 Monroe Ave
were not rezoned at the time. However, both of the parcels are considered non-
buildable under the B-2 designation because they do not meet the minimum lot size
of 10,890 sf and 100 feet of width.
At the public hearing, the property owners adjacent to the property at 236 Monroe
Ave disagreed with the recommendation to rezone it to FBC, MS. Staff agreed with
them and suggested that we remove 236 Monroe Ave off of the request. Staff will
bring forward another zoning amendment request in the future to rezone the property
to FBC, UR.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended to approve the request to
rezone 1201 and 1147 3rd St from B-2 to FBC, MS.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the rezoning of 1147 and 1201 3rd St
from B-2 to Form Based Code, MS.
F. Rezoning of 1148 4th St and 318/350 Houston Ave. (SECOND
READING) Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the properties at 1148 4th St, 318 Houston Ave from
Limited Business (B-1), and 350 Houston Ave from High-Density Multiple-Family
Residential (RM-3) to Form-Based Code, Neighborhood Core (FBC, NC).
This area of “Midtown” was rezoned to Form Based Code in 2015. Most of the parcels
were zoned to FBC, UR because they were either single-family, duplex, or small
multiplex buildings. At the time, these three properties were left out of the rezoning
because they did not fit the FBC, UR designation. However, staff has reviewed the
form-based code and has determined that the FBC, NC designation will work well for
these properties and the buildings and uses would be considered legally conforming.
The Nelson Place apartments would be considered a Flex building in the form-based
code and the new designation would even allow for mixed-uses if the chose to do
that someday. The properties at 1148 4th St and 318 Houston would be considered
small multiplexes. Small multiplexes were not allowed as a permitted use in FBC, UR
districts at that time, so this property was not included in the initial rezoning request of
2015. This density is allowed within the FBC, NC zoning designation and so are the
office uses.
The Planning Commission unanimously (7-0, two members absent) recommended
approval of the rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to rezone the properties at
1148 4th St, 318 Houston Ave, and 350 Houston Ave to Form-Based Code,
Neighborhood Core.

H. Rezoning of several properties from Two-Family Residential (RT) to
Neighborhood Residential (R). (SECOND READING) Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the following properties from Two-Family Residential
(RT) to Neighborhood Residential (R):
410/420/428/438/448/456/466/478/508/524/528/530/532/558/562/568/580/586/592/600
Adams Ave, 275 Marshall St, 462/478/494/508/524/540/556/568/594 S Quarterline Rd,
1150/1160/1168/1192/1206 Ambrosia St, 370/376/384/390 Catherine Ave,
1174/1185/1191 Wood St, 353/357/361/369 E Isabella Ave, 1113/1119 Sophia St,
396/422/428/438 McLaughlin Ave, 463 Catawba Ave, 557 McLaren St, 2407 Barclay St,
11/17 Delaware Ave, and 955 W. Laketon Ave.
As described in the previous case, staff recommends eliminating the RT zones
because we now have better options to allow for duplexes and higher densities.
Staff is proposing to rezone these properties from RT to R, Neighborhood Residential.
These lots fit the size requirements for the proposed zoning district and the rezonings
will make most of these lots legally conforming, whereas most of them are considered
legally, non-conforming under the RT designation. These lots are characterized as
small-to-medium sized residential lots without the presence of an alley. Without an
alley present, the R designation allows only single-family detached houses, duplexes,
and accessory dwelling units. Triplexes would not be allowed because there are no
alleys associated with these lots.
Staff held a focus group in February with all of the associated property owners. Those
in attendance were very supportive of the initiative and requested that we move
forward with the rezonings. Notice was sent to all properties within 300 feet of the
properties to be rezoned. At the time of this writing, staff has not received any
comments from the public.
The Planning Commission unanimously (7-0, two members absent) recommended to
approve the rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to rezone the above listed
addresses from Two-Family Residential (RT) to Neighborhood Residential (R).
I. Rezoning of 1769, 1733, 1715, 1766, 1752, 1736, 1724, 1720, and 1714 Beidler St.
(SECOND READING) Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the following properties from Neighborhood
Residential (R) to Form-Based Code, Neighborhood Edge (FBC-NE):
1769/1733/1715/1766/1752/1736/1724/1720/1714 Beidler St.
This section of Beidler St intersects with the business district along Laketon Ave and is
comprised mostly of mixed-use and retail buildings. However, many of the buildings
and most of their uses are considered legally non-conforming because they are all
zoned R, Neighborhood Residential. The current zoning designation limits
development and use options and requires building owners to apply for Special Use
Permits for any commercial or multifamily uses. Staff believes these buildings would be
better served with a Form Based Code designation that allows for mixed-uses by right.
Page 4 of 11
Page 113 of 215
The mid-block alley serves as a natural barrier between the properties proposed for
rezoning and the R district to the north. The property at 1727 Beidler St was recently
rezoned to FBC, NE this February.
The Planning Commission unanimously (7-0, two members absent) recommended to
approve the rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to rezone the addresses
listed above from R, Neighborhood Residential to Form Based Code, Neighborhood
Edge.
M. Community Organization Gatherings at Farmers Market City Clerk
Staff met with the City Attorneys to create a guideline for requests from community
organizations to be in attendance at the farmers market.
The Farmers Market receives requests from organizations to participate at the farmers
market to raise funds for their organization, bring awareness to their organization,
gather signatures for petitions, etc.
The City Attorneys reviewed our current guideline and suggested some changes. Staff
is suggesting groups must fill out the request to be at the market. Three organizations
will be allowed at the market at a time. The organization may bring one - four foot
table and two chairs and a 10x10 tent. The Market Manager will place the
organization between the picnic table area and food trucks on Market Street.
Organizations may attend up to three times per season. Selling of items will be
prohibited.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Community Organization application as

B. Beach Shuttle Service Recommendation Manager's Office
Staff is requesting approval of the proposed beach shuttle service. Staff has
investigated options for transit service to and among our beaches. Proposals were
made by Muskegon Area Transit and Pioneer Resources.
The first is a beach circulator option where transit service will circulate among
Harbour Towne, Margaret Drake Eliot, Pere Marquette, Beachwood, and Kruse Parks.
The second option is a downtown to beach connector providing connection from
Downtown and Lakeside to Pere Marquette Park. Each end of the route is further
serviced by transit through the beach circulator and regular MATS operations/routes
(during times of regular MATS operations).
Adjustments were made to each of the options per discussion at the recent work
session.
Beach Circulator to 8 pm to 9 pm
MATS $18,000 $18,400
Pioneer Resources $25,100 $25,900
Downtown to Beach to 8 pm to 9 pm
Connector
MATS $67,500 did not request a quote
Pioneer Resources 1 bus $25,100 $25,900
Pioneer Resources 2 busses $50,200 $51,800
Page 6 of 11
Page 115 of 215
Staff recommends contracting with MATS for the beach circulator and with Pioneer
Resources for two busses to cover the downtown to beach connector. Costs for the
service will be borne by beach parking revenue. Staff also recommends conducting
surveys during the summer service to understand how it is received and what
changes should be considered for the future.
Once commissioners agree on the service proposal, formal contracts will be
developed and follow the approval process per the purchasing policy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: to approve the beach shuttle service proposal.
Motion by Commissioner German, second by Commissioner Gorman, to approve the
beach shuttle service proposal.

C. Amendment to the zoning ordinance - Planned Unit Development (PUD)
compliance Planning
Staff-initiated request to amend Section 2101 of the zoning ordinance to require the
Zoning Administrator to review all Planned Unit Development sites for accuracy
before a certificate of occupancy can be issued for any building.
Staff is proposing to add additional language to the PUD regulations that requires the
Zoning Administrator to ensure compliance with the site plan before a certificate of
occupancy can be obtained for a building. There have been some issues over the
years with some PUDs receiving a certificate of occupancy without fully complying
with the approved site plan. Most recently, the absence of this proposed language
has caused confusion in the Harbour Towne development regarding the installation
of sidewalks. A certificate of occupancy is issued by the Inspections Department. If
the amendment is approved, the Inspections Department would require the Zoning
Administrator to sign off on the project before the certificate of occupancy is issued.
The Planning Commission recommended a different wording for the ordinance
amendment. They unanimously recommended in favor (6-0, 3 members absent) of
the following ordinance language:
Section 2101
6. The Zoning Administrator shall ensure reasonable progress is being made to
comply with all of the provisions and requirements of the PUD plan and construction
and placement of all of the improvements therein before a certificate of occupancy
may be issued for any building within the PUD. Before a certificate of occupancy for
the final elements of the PUD, the Zoning Administrator shall ensure complete
compliance with all of the provisions and requirements of the PUD plan and
construction and placement of all of the improvements therein before a certificate of
occupancy is issued.

G. Rezoning of 429, 433, 451, 461, 477, 485, 491, 501, 507, 513, 521, 527 E Apple
Ave and 1022 Williams St. (SECOND READING) Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the following properties from Two-Family Residential
(RT) to Form-Based Code, Neighborhood Edge (FBC, NE):
429/433/451/461/477/485/491/501/507/513/521/527 E Apple Ave and 1022 Williams St.
There are only 70 properties within the City that are zoned RT, Two-Family Residential.
The zoning designation could be considered outdated because we now have the
FBC, UR designation that also allows for duplexes.
The RT designation requires large lots for the development of duplexes, whereas the
FBC designation allows for their development on smaller lots. RT lots must be at least
8,712 sf in size and at least 75 feet wide. This requirement makes almost all properties
zoned RT legally-non-conforming because they are not wide enough. Nothing could
be developed on most of these properties and the existing houses are considered
grandfathered. A duplex in the FBC designation can be built on a lot that is only 40
feet wide.
The FBC, UR designation allows for single-family detached houses, duplexes and
accessory dwellings units. It also allows for triplexes if there is an alley present.
Staff recommends eliminating the RT zoning designation. In order to do so, we must
first rezone all 70 of the RT properties that currently exist. Staff proposes to rezone
these 10 properties to FBC, NE because they are located along Apple Ave adjacent
to a business district and there are also alleys present, so the infrastructure already
exists to support higher density.
Staff held a focus group in February with all of the associated property owners. Those
in attendance were very supportive of the initiative and requested that we move
forward with the rezonings. Notice was sent to all properties within 300 feet of the
properties to be rezoned. At the time of this writing, staff has not received any
comments from the public.
The Planning Commission unanimously (7-0), two members absent) recommended
approval of the rezoning request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to rezone the addresses

Brief Summary:
On Earth Day, April 22, staff will present the City's Government Operations Climate Action Plan as
prepared by Fresh Coast Climate Solutions. The Plan will be used to manage Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
risks and help identify targeted reduction opportunities with the goal of eliminating the organization’s
GHG emissions by 2040.
Detailed Summary & Background:
In April 2023, the City Commission passed a resolution declaring the city’s commitment to climate
action initiatives and to combat the impact of climate change on our community and planet. The
city intends to reduce its organizational GHG emissions through deliberative budget, policy, and
administrative actions.
In February 2024, a Government Operations Greenhouse Gas Inventory was completed. Results of
this Inventory are intended to inform the development of a Climate Action Plan.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 22, 2025 Title: FY26 Chip Seal Program
Submitted by: Dan VanderHeide, Public Works Department: Public Works
Director
Brief Summary:
Staff requests approval to enter into a contract with Pavement Maintenance Systems in the amount
of $258,245 for chip seal and fog seal services in the 2025-26 fiscal year.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Chip sealing has long been acknowledged as one of the most cost-effective ways of extending the
life of a street. When applied at the right time, it can extend the life of a roadway by five or even ten
years. It works by placing a water-tight seal on the pavement, and then covering that seal in "chips"
(small rocks) that give friction back to the road surface. By keeping the water out, and preventing
oxidization by the sun, two of the main sources of road deterioration are reduced. While chip seals
are more traditionally seen in rural areas, they are becoming increasingly common in urban areas as
well. The Muskegon County Road Commission, for example, has placed chip seals on Sherman
Boulevard east of US-31 and on Sternberg Road east of Harvey Street, both high-traffic urban areas.
Staff have carefully selected roadways that fit the criteria for successful chip seals, which are listed
here and also shown on the included map:
• Sherman from Beach to Lincoln
• Getty from Marquette to US-31BR (Access Highway)
• Broadmoor from Marquette to Brusse
• Marquette from Harvey to Quarterline
• Quarterline from Marquette to Stebbins
The low bidder, Pavement Maintenance Systems, included a qualifier that their schedule for the 2025
construction season is nearly full, and they may not be able to accomplish the work yet this season.
They have agreed to a deadline of June 30, 2026, so the work will be complete no later than next
spring. The work will fall into next fiscal year (2025-26), and both the DPW Director and Manager
agree that the Streets Fund Budget will easily accommodate this work and plan to include it in the
FY26 budget presented to the Commission.

Detailed Summary: The City’s health care coverage renews June 1, 2025, for the period June 1,
2025, to May 31, 2026. The renewal initially came in at a 21% increase. After much negotiations
and benefit changes, we have been able to reduce the renewal to a 9.6% increase. The benefit
changes we made allowed us to not have to open any Union contracts and we are able to maintain
the 10% employee contribution. We also went out to bid with BCBSM/BCN but they were not a
viable option as their rates did not save us enough money to warrant switching carriers and they
also were not able to accommodate our retirees according to our contract. The following are
changes effective June 1, 2025.
1. Renewal rates:
Demographic 2024 2025
Single $616.12 $675.34
Double $1,386.27 $1,519.51
Family $1,663.52 $1,823.41
2. Our Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) is running well. Our annual
projection for this current (2024/25) plan year payout will be around $477,746.74.
To put that in perspective, the maximum exposure for the city for the HRA is
$2,262,000.00
3. For our self-funded contract, which includes 2 segments, those retirees under 65
and those over 65. These are the fixed costs with the plan.
Enrolled Current Renewal Increase/Decrease
Admin Fee 144 $54.11 $55.58 2.7%
Aggregate 144 $15.75 $16.85 7.0%
Premium
4. Delta Dental rates will remain the same for 2025-26. There are no plan changes.
The city offers three benefit packages dependent on where you work.
Single Double Family
Basic (Police $29.56 $55.59 $111.71
& Fire)
Enhanced $36.05 $67.49 $134.84
(Non-Union)
Union $34.46 $65.44 $132.91
Enhanced
(Union)
5. Vision rates will stay the same and there will be no changes in benefits
6. Payroll contributions will be 10% employee paid on a bi-weekly basis. The 10%
payroll contribution includes medical rates, and HRA payments.
6/1/2025 – 5/31/2026 Employee Contribution Employer Contribution

between the City of Muskegon, a Michigan municipal corporation, of 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon,
Michigan 49440 (“City”), and Ryskamp Properties 10 LLC, 1990 Aberdeen Street NE, Grand Rapids, MI
49505 (“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) duplex. (the “Project”).
Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale and Purchase of Project Property. 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 $4,000.00,
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 Property, including single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, and
accessory dwelling units, 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 Property upon Developer’s satisfaction of the following design
standards for each single-family home, duplex, triplex, and accessory dwelling unit it constructs on
the Project Property. If the Project includes an accessory dwelling unit, both the primary dwelling
unit (single-family home, duplex, triplex) and the accessory dwelling unit must meet the design
standards outlined below to be eligible for reimbursement.
Page 152 of 215
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 436 Adams, Developer would be reimbursed $2,400.00,
which is 60% of the $4,000.00 purchase price for this Parcel. If Developer completes all five design
standards, Developer would be reimbursed the entire purchase price for this Parcel. If Developer
builds a duplex or small multiplex, Developer would be reimbursed 100% of the 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 duplex on the Project Property, the
quit claim deed conveying the Project Property to Developer shall contain a right of reversion in all of the
Project Property (“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 Property 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 duplex.
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 Property 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.
Page 153 of 215
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.
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 Property. 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
Page 154 of 215
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.
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,

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
with respect to the Project Property. Developer acknowledges and agrees that Developer has or will have
the opportunity to perform inspections of the Project Property pursuant to this Agreement and that
Developer is relying solely on Developer’s own investigation of the Project Property and not on any
information provided to or to be provided by City (except as specifically provided in this Agreement). If
the transaction contemplated herein closes, Developer agrees to accept the respective Project Property
acquired by Developer and waive all objections or claims against City arising from or related to such Project
Property and any improvements thereon except for a breach of any representations or warranties or
covenants specifically set forth in this Agreement. In the event this transaction closes, then subject to City’s

that it has determined that the respective Project Property it has acquired and all improvements thereon are
in a condition satisfactory to Developer based on Developer’s own inspections and due diligence, and

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 22, 2025 Title: Contract Award - Amity Street Extra Work
Submitted by: Joel Brookens, Engineer, Dan Department: DPW- Engineering
VanderHeide, Public Works Director
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to enter into a contract with AnLaan Corporation in the amount of
$141,863.92 for the reconstruction of Amity Street, from the bridge to Fork.
Detailed Summary & Background:
The City is currently under contract with AnLaan (via MDOT) to replace the Amity Avenue Bridge.
That project does not include the half block of roadway from the bridge to Fork Street. In discussions
with MDOT, because bridge funds were used for that project, the extra work cannot be added to it
(since this is considered road work). If this work is not completed, this 300 foot section of Amity will be
the only part in the middle of about three-quarters of a mile that has not been rebuilt, and the work
will include replacing the lead service lines as well.
Staff requests authorization to enter into a contract with AnLaan to complete a road reconstruction
project on the remaining half block of Amity. Unit prices were submitted by AnLaan for work items
that were not included in the MDOT project. Items of work that were included in the MDOT project,
AnLaan has agreed to match the unit pricing. While this additional work contract was not pubically
bid separately, staff is confident AnLaan is the most economical and efficient option for this work. The
bidding process would add additional time and complicate construction methods if another
contractor is selected. The unit prices submitted are also very reasonable; the existing contract was
bid competitively through the MDOT bidding process and MDOT awarded the contract to AnLann at
over 20% below the Engineer's Estimate. The cost will likely fall in FY26 but if the project moves more
quickly, staff will adjust the budget at the Q4 reforecast. The streets fund has reserves to cover this
expense.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 22, 2025 Title: Special Event Policy Update
Submitted by: Jacqui Erny, Admin Department: DPW- Parks and Recreation
Brief Summary:
Recommended update to the special event policy to not allow a food vendor within 20 feet of the
entrance door or service window of an existing restaurant.
Detailed Summary & Background:
As previously discussed, this update to the special event policy provides guidance on food vendor
placement for events. Allowing 20 feet on either side of a restaurant's entrance or service window to
be free from a food vendor would keep restaurants visible during festivals and leave spaces for event
organizers to place food vendors within their footprint.

Deborah Sweet, Community Engagement
Manager
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to enter into a contract with Port City Signs in the amount not to
exceed $130,913 for the production and installation of various signs throughout the city.
Detailed Summary & Background:
To improve consistency, visibility, and wayfinding across Muskegon, staff released a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for a comprehensive signage upgrade. The RFP covers multiple categories:
1. New Park Signs – Replacing aging wooden signs at city parks with modern, durable signage
that reflects the city's brand and highlights park amenities.
2. Public Waterfront Access Signs – Installing directional signage for both vehicles and
pedestrians to mark public access points along Muskegon Lake.
3. Winter Parking + Welcome Signs – At the direction of the City Commission, new signs outlining
winter parking rules will be added at major city entry points. At the same time, existing
“Welcome to Muskegon” street-style signs at those locations will be updated for consistency.
4. Municipal Building Signage – Updating exterior signage at City Hall, the Department of Public
Works, fire stations, and the Water Filtration Plant to improve visibility and identification.
The City received eight bids for the project, ranging from $107,899 to over $256,000. Staff
recommends awarding the contract to Port City Signs, the lowest bidder at $107,899.94 plus the
option cost of $23,013.62 for a total cost of $130,913. Port City Signs is a local contractor and has
previously completed signage work for the City of Muskegon.
The total project cost will be shared across multiple departmental budget accounts.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: April 22, 2025 Title: Pole Banner Policy
Submitted by: Jacqui Erny, Admin Department: DPW- Parks
Brief Summary:
Staff requests approval of a new Pole Banner Policy in response to an increasing number of requests.
Detailed Summary & Background:
A new pole banner policy is being proposed to create a consistent process in which requests can be
received to display a banner on a city-owned light pole. An application can be submitted by an
educational institution or an event organizer that has been approved through the special event
process. The City Manager or their designee will review the application for community benefit and
design quality. The Department of Public Works will review the application with regard to logistics
and scheduling conflicts with other requests. Applicants will have a $50 application fee for new
images. An image can be used for an additional 4 years at no additional charge. Many of the
specific rules and statements in the policy are a direct outcome of a detailed legal review.
There is an existing fee, created in 2008 in the user fee schedule, to "Hang And/Or Remove Banner" of
$450 for each request and $50 for each additional banner. The proposed fee to install and remove
banners was based on a study of the average amount of time it takes to install a banner multiplied
by staff hourly rates and equipment rates. This came out to be $75 per pole to install and remove
each banner. Staff estimates there are about 80 poles throughout the City, concentrated in
Downtown, Midtown (Third Street southeast of Muskegon Ave), and Lakeside.
There are 14 poles identified in Downtown and Lakeside, which are more regularly used by existing
approved users. The cost of hanging banners on these poles was cut in half, because staff would be
able to remove the previous banner at the same time as installing the next banner.

POLE BANNER POLICY
DATE:
Page 211 of 215
PURPOSE/OVERVIEW:
This policy establishes guidelines for the installation and removal of pole banners in designated public spaces.
Pole banners are intended to enhance the area's aesthetic appeal, promote community events, and convey
important information to residents and visitors. This Policy maintains City-owned buildings and property as a
non-public forum for banner purposes and for the purpose of expressing governmental speech. This Policy is
not intended to serve as a forum for free expression by the public. Approval by the City to install a banner under
this Policy constitutes an expression of the City’s official sentiments.
POLICY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
-Banners may be displayed by approved special events and educational institutions for promotions that
benefit the community. It is the City’s policy to display only those banners or other decorations that promote
or celebrate the City, its civic institutions, or public activities or events in the City of Muskegon (and that
otherwise promote the corporate interests and welfare of the City). The City displays banners for the purposes
of enhancing the atmosphere of the street scape through beautiful, festive, and decorative graphics, and
celebrating the City in a manner that attracts tourists, inspires citizens, and accords with the City’s commitment
to embracing diversity and respect for all persons, and is suitable for a broad-based audience of all ages.
-Banner restrictions:
1. No political banners.
2. No commercial advertising.
3. No reflective banners or banners with flashing lights.
4. No banners that attempt to direct or influence street traffic in any way.
5. Permits cannot be reassigned to another party without prior authorization from the City.
6. The city retains the right to refuse permits for any reason and revoke permits at any time.
APPLICATION PROCESS:
- Department of Public Works staff are responsible for receiving applications.
- Applicants must submit a completed application form along with a digital mock-up of the proposed banner
for review.
- Applications should be submitted at least 30 days before the intended display date.
- The City Manager or their designee and Department of Public Works will review applications based on
criteria such as community benefit, design quality, relevance to local events, and frequency of change.
- Applicants will be notified of approval or denial within 14 days of submission.
- Requests to appeal an altered approval or denial will be directed to the City Manager's Office.
FEES:
- The application fee is $50 for banners with a new image. Applications can be renewed for up to 4 years for
free. Every 5 years, banners must go through the full application process.
- Banners displayed on the 14 poles regularly used Downtown or in Lakeside (indicated by a yellow flag on
the map) have a fee of $500 to install.
- Banners displayed on any other pole (indicated by a blue flag on the map) will have a fee of $75 per pole to
install and remove each banner.
- Fees must be paid before banners are hung.
Page 212 of 215
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS:
- Banners must be the current stand size of pole banners. The size is currently 18" wide and 36" tall.
- All banners must be designed to withstand various weather conditions; vinyl is recommended.
- All banners must have a grommet at the top and bottom so they can be secure when installed.
- The design should be professional and in good taste, avoiding offensive language, images, or themes.

- City personnel will install and remove approved banners.
- The applicant must bring the banners to the Department of Public Works at least 7 days before the scheduled

- The city reserves the right to remove any banners that do not comply with this policy or are in poor condition.
- The city is not responsible for replacing any damaged or stolen banners.
- Duration will depend on the number of requests for a given period. If there is a conflict of requested dates,

B) Reduce the amount of time the banners are displayed.
