Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Muskegon is the lead agency for a unique partnership with other HUD grantee municipalities:
Muskegon Heights and Norton Shores. Our Regional Consolidated Plan is used to encompass
communities that use CDBG funds for specific National Objectives to accomplish the goals set by each
city Annual Action Plan for the next 3 years. The city of Muskegon is the only recipient of the HOME
Partnership funds however, the HOME ARP funds are not specifically limited to our city limits.
Our Action plan for 2025 will be supported with CDBG, HOME and HOME ARP funds through the
department of Community and Neighborhood Services of the City of Muskegon from the Department of
Housing and Urban Development. The City also utilizes other funding secured through other funding to
leverage funding for our community that may expand outside of the City of Muskegon to include
surrounding communities. These other grants include, Medicaid Chip funding to support Lead
Abatement, Senior millage to assist low income seniors with health and safety concerns and Healthy
Homes which also provides health and safety home repairs to families who are either elderly or have
children in their home under 5 years of age. Leveraging these dollars helps to offset cost or provide
more assistance to families who need multiple repairs.
*The activities and budget for the Annual Action Plan is proposed and subject to change due to funding
amounts for the new year and commission approval.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
Our Annual Action plan objectives and outcomes for 2025 are staple programs that produce results that
benefit community members through a variety of activities; Community Development Block Grant (C D

electrical updates, plumbing, roofing and more. The services also promote healthier and safer living
environments for City residents, creates opportunity for the elderly population to potentially age at
home and prevents homeowners from losing insurance policies due to not being able to afford the
upkeep of the home.
Residential Facade- About 16% will be committed for vinyl siding replacement on homes with wood
siding that has peeling and chipped paint.

Fire Station Bond- About 22% has been committed for the upcoming year to secure repayment for the
fire station bond. The Fire Station has served as a great asset in the community and access to emergency
services has improved significantly.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
Funds have been used to accomplish the needs of our set programs/projects and strategies to meet the needs of our community. Through a
multitude of sources, staff has been able to satisfy the requests of citizens. Our community does not have to match requirement but we can
offset higher costs through the leveraging of dollars from other grants. Our Federal funding has increased and we anticipate that we will receive
additional dollars this plan year. Fortunately, the city has been granted 1.5 Million from another department of HUD to serve county residents
who need Healthy Homes. In addition, our local funding of Muskegon County Senior Millage and Municipal grants offer assistance to seniors 60
and older. Our DTE program is adding resources to our budget to cover homes in need of furnaces, water heaters, insulation with added health
and safety improvements as necessary.
In our last 2 decades, the city has been involved in Lead Hazard remediation and abatement housing repairs for homebuyers and owners. We
currently are assisting the county through this State funded program that supports Medicaid families who are vulnerable households with
children under the age of 6 with elevated Lead Blood Levels.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
Home Repairs are key to our community. Families need to have safe and decent living environments in
our community as well as where they reside. A large number of our citizens are senior (60+) and the
need for home repairs have been noted by longer waiting lists. The focus of allocations are based on
past practice programs that address the needs of those underserved with low income which has been
the greatest obstacles.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Muskegon is made up of more than 15 neighborhoods that offer a variety of races, socio-economic
backgrounds and ratios of household demographics. This entitlement community is aware of where the
concentration of low-income and minority citizens reside. Our geographic areas of concern have
produced programs called Blight Fight initiatives, Neighborhood Associations, and intentional
engagement with citizens to improve the look and feel of safety, homeownership, improvements and
enhancements requested by the residents.
Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
Muskegon 100
Norton Shores
Muskegon Heights
Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Our geographic investments are always for our citizens within our city limits. 100% of our public services
and public facilities invest in this community. The residents of low-moderate incomes receive a
multitude of services through the funding of CDBG and HOME funded programs but also because of a
variety of county and state grants.
We find that our citizens are the priority as community development investments increase in our
downtown development. Other local funding awards can assist county residents and our citizens are
now able to access additional help.
Discussion
The Regional Consolidated Plan will provide a structure of how each entitlement community will derive
actions to create a safe, decent and affordable options for its citizens. Our collaborative events and
agreed upon strategies provide each community with options to address our own citizens accordingly.

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing - 91.220(g) Introduction
Affordable housing continues to be the forefront our planning efforts within the City limits. The goal this
year is to work with the Continuum of Care to coordinate housing to homeless families. The city has
acquired 4 units that will be available to families to lease for one year, up to two years to support
permanent housing.
In addition to this, our HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds are used to offer Rental
Rehabilitation to existing Landlords, produce Homeownership homes and support the purchase of
housing within Muskegon city limits to qualifying buyers.
We continue to reach out to organizations to create more opportunity for Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDO) for rental and homebuyer. this partnership is essential to the
development of housing in the community.

first time homeowners. The City will utilize our HOME ARP dollars to create ADA compliant units for low
income rental housing.

AP-60 Public Housing - 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Muskegon Housing Commission is a Public Housing Authority that has been approved to begin a
Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) project. RAD is an alternative program that will give
Management oversight as the property managers of rental units and removing HUD from a fiduciary
position. The city of Muskegon has been an active support to MHC through Board appointments.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
The Housing Commission has an active Resident Advisory Council (RAC)! Management has been involved
with the reinstatement of the advisory council because of the upcoming changes (renovations) to
happen through the RAD process. The residents have been included in the selection of flooring, colors,
and overall updates. Tenant involvement will continue until the construction is complete.
In addition to RAC, staff reports that another organized group shares and supports the RAC with special
events and monitoring through floor captains. Monthly events, movie nights, and personal care for
neighbors is at an all-time high.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
The current tenancy is not leaning towards homeownership. As of right now, the RAD project will require
that management reviews the interest of the residents to verify if they will remain occupants of the
Hartford Terrace building prior to the start of construction. Homeownership and other rental
opportunities will be discussed as needed. The city of Muskegon will assist if Homeownership is
requested.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
A troubled status has not been assigned to this housing authority.
Discussion
The Housing Commission has stabilized its opportunity to offer affordable housing that is both decent
and safe. Programs and outside resources are now present in the building on a regular basis. Tenant
participation is welcomed and received at monthly board meetings which has been a desired outcome
with new management.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.220(I)
Introduction
Special needs and homeless activities are supported through the efforts of our HOME ARP (American
Rescue Plan) allocation for 2021. Through this funding, HUD has allowed the city of Muskegon to lead
housing, shelter and services programs for vulnerable people experiencing these needs. Substantial
amendments itemizing these new resources will be identified in specific terms to describe the qualifying
population, programs providing services/resources, and affordable housing opportunities.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Homelessness and ending homelessness continues to be a priority with the City of Muskegon and the
community as a whole. The Continuum of Care coordinates the Point in Time counts that happen
quarterly to contact those who may be living in homelessness. Other efforts include coordinating with
local agencies with services that align with the housing first model.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Muskegon has four apartment style homes available to rent to low income families for
transitional housing. We have partnered with CoC and Community enCompass to use the housing first
model to house families on first come first serve basis.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Our staff is preparing to produce affordable housing units for homeless, veterans, families with
transitional, permanent of independent living situations. Affordable housing purchases will create
housing units specific to the CoC families. This new opportunity will purchase existing properties for
affordable housing to this population only. The city will utilize HOME ARP funding to develop 1-4
multifamily housing that will becomes homes to up to four families per development.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly

funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
Yes, we will help low-income households avoid homeless situations by addressing their needs where
they are by using local agency resources. Community Health, Rescue Mission, and other connected
agencies that refer families for assistance. We work with our schools and social service agencies to
collectively meet the needs of our citizens. It is also our belief that by providing home repairs will
increase the likelihood for a person to be able to maintain housing and age in place.
Discussion
The city's initiatives are geared to addressing the housing crisis in our area. Recently, the city conducted
a Housing Needs Assessment that assessed many aspects of housing in our area and it was determined
that there are not sufficient vacant units available to support the current size of our community. the
data supports the need to increase housing by creating 300+ units of affordable housing throughout the
area to ensure there is housing for all. This will not be an easy or small task and will take us many years
to successfully respond and address this issue. We have begun to strategize methods to properly
respond to this issue.
AP-75 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.220(j)
Introduction
A Barrier to affordable housing is that there is not affordable and safe housing available to all city
residents. Affordable housing is very limited and the cost of rent continues to sore as need grows. The
city has provided a number of avenues to create housing choice- market rate, affordable and approval of
multifamily housing construction projects. Choice is the ultimate vision of a viable and inclusive city.
Another Barrier to affordable housing is that there are not a lot of funding options to create the number
of houses or types of housing needed to fit the needs of our community. The City has assisted in this
effort by rehabbing homes and marketing the homes to low income homebuyers and renters but the
footprint could be much larger granted there were more streams of accessible funding.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
Current barriers to zoning ordinance updates are present within neighborhoods that resist change. The
neighbors that see the positive effects of change have seen an increase in quality, new homes of varied
types of housing: duplexes, row-housing units, multifamily, and new constructions. The city has been
Annual Action Plan 35 2025
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 57 of 159
working to update ordinates and zoning and creating innovative ways to allow for more builds on
available land.
Discussion
The city continues to research the housing market to identify the gaps and assess the need for housing in
our community. The research will be turned into a strategic plan that will in turn create actionable items
to impact the housing situation for all of the community. The City will continue to explore sustainable
ways to increase the housing market and to ensure that it is reflective of the community needs.
AP-85 Other Actions - 91.220(k)
Introduction
An Analysis has been completed and posted on the City's Website. Community & Neighborhood Services
- City of Muskegon (muskegon-mi.gov)
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs are to continue to meet and
identify agencies to assist the underserved. The community has been in communication regarding the
need for a central location that all agencies would have access to individuals to help navigate and
connect with services and resources. This way will help encourage communication from one agency to
the next and ensure that people who could benefit from services are not slipping through the cracks.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
Actions reviewed to maintain affordable housing are to continue rehabbing properties for sale to income
eligible families and creating affordable rental property opportunities.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City of Muskegon has a Lead Safe program that is diligently working to remedy lead based pain in
homes that are pre 1978 and have Medicaid families living in them. Any home that is in the City of
Muskegon and receives a home repair will also have water tested to ensure water quality is free from
lead. Other actions the City has taken is to encourage citizens who are participating in home repair
programs that have young children to participate in the lead abatement program.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The plan to reduce the number of poverty-level families is always a collaborative effort of the City, local
agencies, Public Housing Authorities, Continuum of Care and the communities. Everyone together is
actively looking for innovative ways to fight this fight on poverty.

To approve minutes of the May 12, 2025, Worksession Meeting, and the May 13,

Page 1 of 14
Page 66 of 159
Staff is seeking approval for the contract with Pioneer Resources for transit
service to the City beaches.
At the April 8, 2025, meeting, the Commission approved the beach shuttle
service proposal. Staff is now seeking approval of the contract with Pioneer
Resources to provide transit service from various neighborhoods to Pere
Marquette Park. The agreement includes two buses servicing stops from Smith
Ryerson Park to Pere Marquette Park on weekends only from May 23 to August
31. The amount requested is only for May 23 to June 30 and requires a budget
amendment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the contract with Pioneer Resources and
authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign.
G. Rezoning of 236 Monroe Ave. Planning
Staff-initiated request to rezone the property at 236 Monroe Ave from B-2,
Convenience & Comparison Business to Form Based Code, Urban Residential.
At the April Planning Commission meeting, this property was recommended to
be rezoned to FBC-MS along with the property to the east. However, a
neighbor at the Public Hearing noted that this designation would allow for a
parking lot to be built next to their townhouse. After further examination, staff
recommended that this property be rezoned to FBC-UR, which would allow for
a narrow housing unit, but not a parking lot. The request to rezone the parcel to
FBC-UR returned to the May Planning Commission meeting, where it was
unanimously recommended for approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move that the request to rezone the property at
236 Monroe Ave from B-2, Convenience & Comparison Business to Form Based
Code, Urban Residential be approved.
J. Resolution for 350 W. Western Ave. Social District Permit Community
Engagement
Pavlik Muskegon Investments, LLC is requesting to join the Downtown Muskegon
Social District for their new restaurant, The Western Reserve, located at 350 W.
Western Ave—the former site of 18th Amendment. The Michigan Liquor Control
Commission (MLCC) has approved their license, and a conditional license has
already been issued, with the final license expected next week. To meet State
requirements under MCL 436.1551, the business must now receive approval
from the City Commission in order to apply for a Social District Permit. The
Western Reserve plans to offer steaks, smash burgers, and wood-fired pizza,
with a targeted opening by Memorial Day. Upon approval, staff will coordinate
with the business to provide training on social district rules as outlined in our
social district processes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: to approve the Social District Permit for Pavlik
Muskegon Investments, LLC at 350 W. Western Ave., Muskegon, MI 49440 for
consideration by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission.

K. Contract Award: H92405 Sun Dolphin and Oak Resurfacing DPW-
Engineering
Staff is requesting authorization to approve a contract with McCormick Sand,
Inc. in the amount of $345,519.50 for road resurfacing work on Sun Dolphin and
Oak Ave.
Bids were solicited for a construction project to resurface Sun Dolphin from
Sherman to Harris and Oak Ave from Harvey east to the City Limits. McCormick
Sand provided the low bid. The bids came in under budget and engineers
estimate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Move to authorize staff to enter into a contract with
McCormick Sand, Inc. in the amount of $345,519.50 for the resurfacing of Sun
Dolphin and Oak according to the construction plans.
L. Lakeshore Art Festival Liquor License Application DPW- Parks
The Parks & Recreation Department is seeking Commission approval to apply
for a special liquor license for beer and wine service for the Lakeshore Art
Festival Artist Reception on June 28, 2025. The temporary license fee for this
event is $50.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to apply for a special liquor license for
the Lakeshore Art Festival.
M. PILOT Agreement for Park Terrace Apartments Acquisition Economic
Development
The existing ownership of Park Terrace Apartments and Village at Park Terrace
Senior Apartments is seeking to sell the portfolio to new ownership. In order to
preserve and lengthen the affordability period, a new Contract for Housing
Exemption is required for both projects.
Staff and the City Attorney's office have been working to finalize the draft
agreements before you related to this project with the new owner. They hope
to put significant capital investment into the facilities in the coming years, and
in order to finance the project and make that possible they are requesting an
updated and restated PILOT on both Park Terrace as well as the senior living
component Village at Park Terrace. The agreement reflects a slight reduction in
the PILOT rate to 4% of annual shelter rents but establishes a Municipal Services
charge in a separate agreement. This is to our advantage because the total
MSA revenue stays with the City, rather than being split between the taxing
jurisdictions like the PILOT payment. This document is the contract for housing
exemption for up to 25 years, which will require adherence to MSHDA
regulated rents per requirements in our local ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to accept the Amended and Restated
Contract for Housing Exemption for Park Terrace Apartments as presented, and
to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign.

Q. Amendment to City of Muskegon PILOT Ordinance for Definitions to
Residential Housing Projects and Payment in Lieu of Taxes Economic
Development
Updates to our Affordable Housing Ordinance to align with the latest language
in the MSHDA Act.
When working on various PILOTS and MSA's we have determined that our code
of ordinances, which adopts the MSHDA Act of 1966 and its various definitions
by reference, did not directly reflect the language in the act and is at times
contradictory. By adding this amendment to define terms more specifically, it
firms up our legal agreements required for LIHTC projects, as we pass them
under the auspices of this ordinance. Namely, we are creating a more precise
definition of "Contract Rents" which helps determined what we are paid in
PILOT and MSA contracts, and also broadening the definition of "Housing
Project" as the language in our ordinance was more restrictive than what the
State allows.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to amend and adopt Chapter 82, Article II,
Section 46 for Definitions to Residential Housing Projects and Payments in Lieu of
Taxes as presented.
R. Sale of Foreclosed Home at 1285 Langeland to Previous Owner for
$7,500 Economic Development
The CNS Department purchased a home with Commission approval on the
most recent tax auction for rehab, but it was not disclosed to staff that the
foreclosed owner was still living in the domicile. We wish to sell to them to keep
them in their home for costs incurred.
Page 5 of 14
Page 70 of 159
CNS received the foreclosed properties list with instructions from the Director of
Development Services to seek potential single-family homes for rehab with
CDBG or HOME dollars to either sell to a low-income buyer or retain as an
affordable rental unit. They acquired two houses from the list that they had
reviewed and on which they had conducted windshield surveys. They
appeared vacant as per usual, and the homes were bought from the County
Treasurer for back taxes. However, it soon became evident that the home at
1285 Langeland was occupied and the department staff suspected that folks
had entered it illegally and needed to be evicted. As the matter was
investigated, the family living there was the previous owner and includes
multiple generations including children. It is not in our interests to evict anyone
from their home, these sites are typically empty failed investment properties or
vacant blighted structures so this caught us unaware. We are proposing to the
family to quit claim the home back to them for our incurred costs inclusive of
filing fees. We have also given guidance to the family on pursuing the
homeowner's poverty exemption moving forward in the event the Commission
accepts staff proposal to convey the home back to these owners. We have
received a consent judgment to proceed with eviction in the event the owners
refused the offer to buy the site, but so long as commission agrees to the sale
we have no reason to enforce the eviction and everyone can move forward.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve the sale of the property at 1285
Langeland to Anthony Henry or his assign for $7,500, and to authorize staff to
close on the transaction with a quit claim deed.
Motion by Commissioner Keener, second by Commissioner Kochin, to adopt
the Consent Agenda as presented minus Items B, C, E, F, H, and I.

B. 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
Page 6 of 14
Page 71 of 159
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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to award T2 Systems with the bid for parking
enforcement's management system.
Motion by Commissioner Kochin, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to award T2
Systems with the bid for parking enforcement's management system.

MOTION PASSES
H. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, Definition of "Family." Planning
Staff-initiated request to amend Article II of the zoning ordinance to amend the
definition of "family." The Planning Commission unanimously voted to
recommend approval of the amendment at their May meeting.
Staff is proposing to amend the definition of "family" in the zoning ordinance to
better reflect the current living situations of many homes in the community.
There are many homes throughout the City that exceed the number of people
Page 8 of 14
Page 73 of 159
allowed under the current definition of family, although it is rarely enforced -
mostly because there are not any complaints that would warrant investigation.
Increasing the number of unrelated people allowed in a house would better
reflect many living situations already present in the community. However, staff
from various City departments have noted issues with too many adults living
within the same dwelling unit. These issues include stress on aging houses,
overcrowding, over-use of amenities/utilities, potential for emergency service
calls, and storage of materials. Staff agree that a couple more adults allowed
in a housing unit should not warrant too much concern on these issues, but any
household larger than that should be situated in a group home or single room-
occupancy type building, which are better equipped to host these types of
living situations.
Please see the existing definition of Family in the zoning ordinance:
Family: means one of the following:
Family, Domestic: One or more persons living together and related by the
bonds of blood, marriage, guardianship, foster relation, or adoption, and not
more than two additional unrelated persons, with all such individuals being
domiciled together as a single, domestic, housekeeping unit in the dwelling.
Functional Family: The following persons shall be considered a functional family:
Persons living together in a dwelling unit whose relationship is of a permanent
and distinct character and is the functional equivalent of a domestic family,
with a demonstrable and recognizable bond which constitutes the functional
equivalent of the bonds which render the domestic family a cohesive unit. All
persons of the functional family must be cooking and otherwise housekeeping
as a single, nonprofit unit. At least one person in the functional family must be
the record or equitable owner of the property or dwelling unit, or the primary
tenant under a written lease having a least one year’s duration. This definition
shall not include any society, club, fraternity, sorority, association, lodge,
coterie, organization, rooming house, rooming units, or group where the
common living arrangement and/or the basis for the establishment of the
functional equivalency of the domestic family is likely or contemplated to exist
for a limited or temporary duration. The definition of functional family shall not
include a living arrangement where there exists less than 225 square feet of
living space in the dwelling unit per person residing therein, or insufficient off-
street parking located entirely on the property for all vehicles used by the said
residents.
Applicability: Living arrangements which would otherwise comply with the
description of a family shall not constitute a family if the said arrangements
have occurred as a result of commercial or other advertising, or the offering of
rooms for rent. Any financial arrangement, except a true sharing of the
expenses of all the facilities in the single household unit shall be presumed to
constitute renting a room or rooms, and to have resulted from the offering of
rooms for rent or commercial or other advertising. Where rooms have been
rented, or persons live in the house in response to commercial advertising or the
Page 9 of 14
Page 74 of 159
offering of rooms for rent, the living arrangement shall be presumed to
constitute a rooming house and not a family. A person claiming the status of
family shall have the burden of proof of each of the elements set forth in the
relevant definitions of this ordinance.
The current definition of domestic family would allow up to three unrelated
adults to live in a single housing unit.
The current definition of a functional family would allow an unlimited amount of
unrelated people to share a home (as long as they function as a family as
described by the ordinance and it’s not commercially advertised), with the
only restriction being a minimum of 225 sf of space per person. A 4,000 sf house
would allow up to 17 people.
Staff is proposing to amend the definition of family to the following:
Family: One or more persons living together and related by the bonds of blood,
marriage, guardianship, foster relation, or adoption, and not more than four
additional unrelated persons, with all such individuals being domiciled together
as a single, domestic, housekeeping unit in the dwelling.
This definition would increase the number of unrelated people allowed in a
house from three to five.
Looking forward to the following case, rooming houses would allow
opportunities for households between 6-8 unrelated people and single-room
occupancy homes would allow up to 25 unrelated people.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move that the request to amend Section II of the
zoning ordinance to amend the definition of family be approved as presented.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to move that
the request to amend Section II of the zoning ordinance to amend the
definition of family be approved as presented.
Motion amended by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to
amend Section II of the zoning ordinance to amend the definition of family to
be seven plus family be approved.

I. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, Creating Regulations for "Single-
Room Occupancy Homes" and "Rooming Houses." Planning
Staff-initiated request to amend the zoning ordinance to create a section that
allows for single-room occupancy homes and rooming house uses. The
Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendment
at their May meeting.
Staff had been asked by the City Commission to explore the option of allowing
Single-Room Occupancy homes in the City. A Single-Room Occupancy is a
dwelling unit within a housing structure that does not have its own kitchen, or
usually even a bathroom, where the tenants share common amenities like
kitchens, bathrooms, laundry facilities, etc. This type of use actually happens
under the radar quite often, with inspectors finding them periodically in the
City. Sometimes these non-permitted uses have the owner living on-site,
sometimes they do not. Through research, staff have discovered that the term
"boarding house" is often associated with a use where the owner or manager
lives on-site and rents out rooms with common amenities. The term "single-room
occupancy" is often associated with a use where neither the owner nor a
manager resides on site and rents out rooms with common amenities. Our
current zoning ordinance does not have a definition for single-room
occupancy, but it does have a definition for "rooming house", although they
are only allowed in RM-2 and RM-3 zoning districts and only up to five people
are allowed in the house. It also does not require the owner or manager to live
on site. See definition below.
Rooming House: A dwelling structure having single rooms for rent and having
no common areas except common places for the taking of meals, or baths, or
laundry facilities, and not defined as a tourist home, or state-licensed residential
facility.
Staff recommend amending this definition to require the owner or manager to
reside on-site, to distinguish it from the proposed single-occupancy ordinance.
Staff also recommend creating a new section in the ordinance that regulates
both "rooming houses" and "SRO's."
Most requests for SRO buildings will likely be for former assembly buildings, such
as schools and churches, or potentially commercial/office buildings. Most
schools and churches have an R, Neighborhood Residential zoning. The master
plan recommends allowing higher density for adaptive reuse of these types of
buildings. Staff recommend that SRO's be allowed in RM-1, Low Density Multi-
Family districts. This would require rezoning most of these types of buildings, but
would be supported by the master plan because it allows different types of
residential uses, so they would not be considered spot zones. The density
requirement proposed for these SRO's also closely resembles that of the RM-1
districts. Staff also recommend that we amend the ordinance at a later date to
allow "rooming houses," where the owner lives on site, in the R, Neighborhood
Page 11 of 14
Page 76 of 159
Residential and FBC, Urban Residential districts, with stricter guidelines on
spacing and fewer allowed roomers, so that traditional houses do not become
overcrowded and stressed. A "rooming house" would be for fewer people and
be allowed in more traditional houses while an "SRO" would be for more people
and be required to be in larger buildings more equipped for density.
Proposed definitions:
Rooming House: A dwelling structure having single rooms for rent and having
no common areas except common places for the taking of meals, or baths, or
laundry facilities, and not defined as a tourist home, or state-licensed residential
facility. The owner or manager of the property must live on-site.
Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Home: A dwelling structure having single
bedrooms for rent by tenants and having common areas such as kitchens,
bathrooms, or laundry facilities available to all tenants. The owner of the
property or manager may or may not live on-site. This does not include uses
defined as a tourist home, or state-licensed residential facility.
Proposed ordinance:
Section 2318: Single-Use Occupancies & Rooming Houses
Rooming Houses are allowed as a principal use permitted in R, Neighborhood
Residential, FBC, Urban Residential and RM-1 districts under the following
conditions:
1. The owner or property manager must live on site.
2. There may be up to two people per bedroom. A bedroom must have at
least 100 sf of space for a single tenant and at least 200 sf of space for two
tenants.
3. Houses at least 2,000 sf in size may allow up to six people to live on-site.
Houses at least 2,500 sf may allow up to eight people to live on-site.
4. Parking requirements of the zoning district must be followed.
Single-Room Occupancy Homes are allowed as a special use permitted in RM-
1 districts under the following conditions:
1. The property owner or manager may or may not live on site.
2. There may be up to two people per bedroom. A bedroom must have at
least 100 sf of space for a single tenant and at least 200 sf of space for two
tenants.
3. There shall not be more than 20 bedrooms per building.
4. There shall not be more than 25 people per building, regardless of the
number of two-bedrooms available.
5. There shall only be one building that houses people per parcel.
6. All bedroom occupants shall have access to common areas and amenities
such as kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, etc.
7. At least 90% of the SRO units shall be occupied by the same tenants for a
continuous period of at least 90 days.
8. One parking space is required for every 3 bedrooms.

the zoning ordinance to create regulations for single-room occupancy and

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: June 10, 2025 Title: Fresh Coast Climate Solutions - Climate
Action Plan
Submitted by: Peter Wills, Director of Department: Manager's Office
Governmental Relations
Brief Summary:
Staff to present and seek adoption of the City's Government Operations Climate Action Plan (CAP)
as prepared by Fresh Coast Climate Solutions. A CAP exists for assets owned and operated by the
City. The CAP establishes a roadmap for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
municipal operations 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 were intended to inform the development of a Climate Action Plan.
This CAP’s content is organized into 5 focus areas, 18 objectives, and 97 actions.
Understanding which facilities are the highest contributors to the city’s organizational GHG emissions
can inform investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and operational improvements to
maximize emissions reductions.
The City received a $75,000 Community Energy Management Program grant through EGLE to offset
the cost of the contract.
Documents related to Climate Action can be found here.

Commission Meeting Date: June 10, 2025 Title: Social Media Policy & Guidelines
Submitted by: Deborah Sweet, Community Department: Community Engagement
Engagement Manager
Brief Summary:
Staff recommends the approval of the attached Social Media Use Policy and Guidelines.
Detailed Summary & Background:
To address the evolving landscape of online communication and ensure responsible, effective, and
consistent use of social media by the City of Muskegon, a comprehensive Social Media Use Policy
and Guidelines has been developed. This Policy establishes protocols for social media use by City
officials and employees, ensuring communications are properly authorized, formatted, and legally
compliant, particularly considering rulings such as Lindke v. Freed, 601 U.S. 187 (2024).
At the May 28, 2025 Legislative Policy Committee Meeting, Commissioners reviewed a draft social
media policy. Based on their feedback, staff made two clarifying updates:
1. Elected Official Pages (Page 2): Updated language encourages officials to distinguish their
elected pages from personal ones and understand legal responsibilities. A previous request to
separate campaign and official pages was removed, recognizing that incumbents may use
official pages for campaigning.
2. Oversight and Enforcement (Page 3): Corrected wording to specify that City-controlled
pages—not individual staff or officials—are prohibited from posting certain types of content,
including confidential information, copyright violations, offensive language, partisan political
views, and commercial content.

SOCIAL MEDIA USE POLICY AND GUIDELINES
DATE: 06/02/2025
Page 91 of 159
PURPOSE/OVERVIEW
This document outlines the Social Networking and Social Media Use Policy for the City of Muskegon (“the City”). In response to the
fast-evolving landscape of digital communication and the increasing role of social media in how residents access information and
engage with local government, this Policy establishes clear guidelines for the City’s presence and activity on social platforms.
The purpose of this Social Media Use Policy and Guidelines (“the Policy”) is to define standards for the responsible and effective use
of social media by City officials and employees. It ensures that all communications made on behalf of the City are authorized,
professional, legally compliant, and aligned with public expectations. This includes adherence to relevant court rulings—such as
Lindke v. Freed, 601 U.S. 187 (2024)—and compliance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including Michigan’s
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
SCOPE
This Policy applies to all social media use by or on behalf of the City of Muskegon, including but not limited to staff, elected officials,
appointed officials, committees, and departments. Employees of the Muskegon Police Department shall adhere to their department-
specific social media policies. In areas where those policies do not address City specific issues, or for cross-departmental matters,
this City policy shall apply.
TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA USE
PERSONAL PAGES
All staff, elected officials, appointed officials and board and committee members may have personal social media sites. These sites
shall remain personal in nature and be used to share personal opinions or non-work-related information. Following this principle
helps ensure a distinction between sharing personal and City views. Personal pages shall not use City e-mail accounts or passwords
in conjunction with a personal social media site. Campaign social media sites fall under this category, however, if a campaign social
media page is converted/renamed into an elected official social media page it would be reclassified as an Elected Official Page.
The following guidance is for City employees who decide to have a personal social media account and who decide to comment on or
share posts about City business:
1. Use a disclaimer such as: “This is the personal (or campaign) page of [official/employee]” or “the views expressed are
strictly my own and do not reflect or represent the views of my employer.”
2. Employees shall not use or disclose any information, photographs, video, or other recording obtained or accessible as a
result of employment or appointment with the City without the express authorization of the City Manager and/or their
authorized designee.
3. Employees may share or repost City information, such as updates on leaf pickup, City events, public meetings, emergency
notices, and other relevant announcements, to help keep the community informed.
PROFESSIONAL PAGES
The City recognizes two types of professional social media accounts used for City-related communication: City-Controlled Pages and
Elected Official Pages. By law, both are considered tools for public engagement and must reflect the values, transparency, and
professionalism expected of public service. These pages are distinct from personal or campaign accounts.
City-Controlled Pages are social media accounts created, owned, and managed by the City. These accounts represent the City as a
whole, its departments, specific leadership positions, or specific initiatives, and are used to provide public information, communicate
City services, and promote community events.
All City-related communication through these social media pages shall remain professional in nature and should always be
conducted in accordance with this Policy and the City’s Community Engagement Handbook. All content must maintain neutrality,
and comply with legal standards for public communication, including accessibility, records retention, and privacy policies. All City-
Controlled pages must be registered as outlined below.
City-Controlled Pages shall not be used for political purposes, to conduct private transactions, or to engage in private business
activities. Inappropriate use of City-Controlled social media can be grounds for disciplinary action.
Only individuals authorized by the City may publish content to a City website or City social media account.
Page 1 of 5
Page 92 of 159
Examples of these accounts include: City of Muskegon Government on Facebook, Muskegon City Parks & Recreation on Instagram,
and the Muskegon Farmers Market on Facebook.
Elected Official Pages are social media accounts created and managed by elected officials (e.g., Mayor, City Commissioners) in their
formal, public roles. Among other purposes, these accounts are used to share information and engage with the public on topics
related to their duties within the City.
Although Elected Official Pages are not subject to internal City oversight, elected officials are individually responsible for managing
these accounts in accordance with applicable laws. Content that involves the discussion or facilitation of City business may be
considered public record and subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or the Open Meetings Act (OMA).
Improper use—such as blocking constituents, deleting comments based on viewpoint, or mixing political campaigning with public
duties—can create legal liability for both the official and the City.
Elected officials are encouraged to clearly distinguish these pages from personal pages, and to understand the legal risks and
responsibilities that come with using social media in an official capacity.
REGISTERED CITY PAGES
All City-Controlled social media sites shall be listed on one page on the City’s website. The link to that webpage is:
https://muskegon-mi.gov/social-media-accounts/
REGISTERING A NEW PAGE
All City-Controlled social media sites shall be (1) approved by the City Manager and/or designee, (2) published using approved social
networking platforms and tools, and (3) be administered by the approved staff member(s).
The City Manager and/or their designee, and the IT department, will be granted administrative access to all City-controlled social
media pages.
DEREGISTERING AN EXISTING PAGE
If a City-Controlled social media page is no longer of use, (1) notify the City Manager and/or designee. (2) Ensure records have been
archived according to City guidelines. (3) Set a timeline for deactivating the account. (4) Develop a farewell message to post on the
account that includes when the account will be closed and where followers can go for information in the future. (5) Consult with the
Community Engagement Manager to determine whether to protect the account name by keeping it active to prevent use of the
City’s name for improper purposes. If a decision is made to protect the account name, take all necessary action to do so. (6)
Unpublish or delete the page. (7) Update the list of official social media accounts listed online on https://muskegon-mi.gov/social-
media-accounts/.
Considerations for Deregistering:
Considerations for deciding whether to deregister a City social media account may include, but are not limited to:
• Merging an account into another City social media account.
• It is no longer needed to accomplish a department’s goals.
• It does not align with the City’s mission, vision, or values.
• It does not comply with these procedures.
• It is not currently being used or is being underutilized with no original posts for at least 60 days.
• It is not being monitored.

Page 93 of 159
OVERSIGHT AND ENFORCEMENT
City-Controlled social media outlets or participating in social media features on City websites shall maintain a high level of ethical
conduct and professional decorum. Failure to do so is grounds for revoking the privilege to participate in City social media sites or
other social media features.
Information shall be presented following professional standards for good grammar, spelling, brevity, clarity and accuracy, and avoid
jargon, obscure terminology, or acronyms. City-Controlled sites shall be clear and precise and follow industry best practices for
posting updates. All content posted to City-Controlled social media should be:
1. Relevant – Information that engages residents and pertains to their daily lives
2. Timely – Pertains to deadlines, upcoming events, or current news
3. Actionable – Prompts residents to take action
4. Informative – Posts should encourage residents to visit a specific City webpage for additional details, resources, or updates
related to the content shared.
Social media shall not be used to circumvent other City communication policies, including news media policy requirements. City-
controlled pages shall not publish information on any social media sites that include:
1. Confidential information
2. Copyright violations
3. Profanity, racist, sexist, or derogatory content or comments
4. Partisan political views
5. Commercial endorsements or SPAM
Time of Use: City-Controlled social media accounts are not monitored 24/7, and as such, posts and responses should not be
immediately expected. Accounts are traditionally monitored during normal business hours, designated as Monday-Thursday from
7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., excluding holidays.
COMMENT AND PRIVATE MESSAGE GUIDELINES
City-controlled pages shall decide and be consistent with their commenting and private message guidelines. Whether comments or
private messages are allowed or not, the pages shall remain consistent.
If comments are turned off on one post, they shall always be turned off on all posts when possible. Acknowledging that the
“comment off function” is manual, and happens after the post is made, there is potential for a comment or two to be posted before
the comment function is turned off. If that happens and a few comments are made, continue to turn the comments off and
comment as the page to notify of the comment guidelines outlined in this policy. If the comment function is accidently not turned
off and many comments are made, leave the commenting feature on for that post.
City-Controlled pages that allow comments may reply to comments or questions as long as it’s following archiving rules and this
policy. It’s encouraged that comments link back to information on an official City website. Refer to the “Moderation of Third-Party
Content” section for commenting removal guidelines.
SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT AUDITS
Annual audits of City-Controlled account activity and the effectiveness of the content being posted will be performed by the
Community Engagement Manager in collaboration with the staff managing the page(s).

City will sell and Developer will purchase and develop the Project Property. Developer intends to develop
on each of the Project Property one (1) single-family home, for a total of five (5) single-family homes. (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 $8,400.00,
which shall be paid in cash or other immediately available funds at Closing (defined below) less the $500
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 twenty-four (24) 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

Alley-loaded parcel 20%
Shutter or other acceptable window 20%
treatments
Underground Sprinkling 20%

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 home on each of the

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 single-family homes.
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.
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
Page 100 of 159
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

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
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
Page 101 of 159
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

(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

information provided to or to be provided by City (except as specifically provided in this Agreement). If

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

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: June 10, 2025 Title: Kruse Park Nature Scape Playground Award
Submitted by: Kyle Karczewski, Parks and Department: DPW- Parks
Recreation Director
Brief Summary:
Staff requests approval to enter into a contract with Nature Playscapes in the amount of $152,597 for
a "nature scape" playground at Kruse Park based on their innovation, sustainability, qualifications and
experience building nature scapes in Michigan.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Through our park master planning efforts, the community identified Kruse Park as the perfect location
for a Nature Scape Playground. A nature scape playground (also known as a natural playground or
nature-based play area) is a play environment that uses natural elements—such as trees, rocks, sand,
water, logs, and native plants—instead of traditional playground equipment like plastic slides and
metal swings. Natural materials (wood, boulders, plants, soil), unstructured elements that encourage
creative play (e.g., tree stumps for jumping, logs for balancing), integration with the natural
landscape, and design reflecting the local ecosystem emphasize open-ended play rather than fixed
play. Several proposals provided a nice playground design but failed to represent a true natural
playground. Out of the 4 bids we received, Nature Playscapes shows the most innovative and
sustainable design that fits into the natural playground criteria. This playground was budgeted at
$160,000. The bid tab is shown below.
Nature Playscapes - $152,927

Juneteenth Flags
Submitted by: Ken Johnson, Mayor, Jonathan Department: Manager's Office
Seyferth, City Manager
Brief Summary:
A proposal to adopt two additional Official City Flags modeled on the Intersex Pride Flag & the
Juneteenth Flag (see attached).
Detailed Summary & Background:
Cities across the country have taken steps to ensure inclusive symbols can be used in their cities. One
way to achieve this is by adopting multiple official city flags that can be flown at any time. It is
proposed that the City of Muskegon adopt two additional city flags based on the Intersex Pride Flag,
with the city's tile "M" in the lower right corner of the flag. And another flag based on the Official
Juneteenth Flag with the city's time "M" in the upper left corner of the flag. Illustrative examples of
both follow this memo.

c/o Jonathan Seyferth
City of Muskegon
933 Terrace Street
Muskegon, MI 49442
Re: Charter Amendment: Initiatory Petition
Dear Mayor and City Commission:
This letter is a follow-up to our letter of April 30, 2025.
City charters may be amended in accordance with the Home Rule City Act either by the
City Commission adopting a Resolution or by an initiatory petition. The City Clerk
received initiatory petitions seeking to amend Chapter III, Section 3 of the Charter. The
Clerk has determined that the petitions contain a sufficient number of signatures of
qualified and registered electors.
The stated purpose of the Charter Amendment is to establish a 12- year term limit for
City Commissioners. Specifically, the Petition seeks to amend Chapter III, Section 3, to
read as follows:
A person may not serve on the city commission for terms or partial terms that
combined total more than 12 years. The city commissioners elected at large shall
be electors of the city and shall have resided therein at least one year
immediately preceding their election and shall remain electors of the city
throughout their term of office. The city commissioners elected from the
respective wards shall have resided within their respective wards throughout their
term of office. They shall not during their term of office hold any other city office
unless specifically provided in this Charter. They shall be elected at the regular
city election. At the first regular city election held after November 2, 1982, one
commissioner shall be elected from each of the four wards for a term of four
years and shall serve with the remaining three commissioners who shall serve
the balance of their unexpired term. At the next succeeding regular city election
following the election of the commissioners for each of the four wards, three
commissioners shall be elected at large for a term of four years. Thereafter their
successors shall be elected for a term of four years. They shall take office on the
first day of January following their election.1
The petition did not contain proposed ballot language. As such, the City Commission
prepares the proposed ballot language. A Resolution with proposed ballot language is
attached.
1 Deletions are marked with a strike through, and additions are marked with a highlight.
Page 155 of 159
If there are sufficient signatures, the initiatory petition is submitted to the Governor for
consideration. However, even if the Governor does not approve the initiatory petition,
the proposal is submitted to the electorate. MCL Section 117.22.
The ballot language is limited to 100 words, not including the caption. MCL Section
117.21(2). The Attorney General is required to review the ballot language to determine if
it is a true and impartial statement of the Charter amendment’s purpose. MCL Section
117.21(2).
Upon adoption of the Resolution, we will forward the initiatory petition and Resolution
with ballot language to the Governor and the Attorney General. The proposed Charter
Amendment will be submitted to the electorate on November 11, 2025, which is the next
regular municipal election or general state election. MCL Section 117.21. A primary
election is not a regular municipal election or general state election. Millard ex rel.
Reuter v Bay City, 334 Mich 514 (1952).
