Date: October 11, 2011 To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners From: Finance Director RE: Five-Year Contract for Copiers/Printers SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City’s current contract for copiers/printers expires in December. Staff recently conducted a review process to identify the company best suited to meet the City’s document management needs for the next five-years. This process included in-depth interviews with six companies conducted by a panel of City staff. Companies were ranked by the panel prior to the opening of price proposals. Rather than simply focusing on replacing the current equipment fleet at the lowest cost, we focused instead on finding the company that could provide the best overall value to the City in terms of analyzing our needs and recommending cost-effective and flexible document management solutions for our rapidly changing organization. Following is a summary of the results of this process, including comparative pricing for replacement of the current equipment fleet. Staff is recommending that Applied Imaging be selected and that staff be authorized to work with them to modify and optimize the copier and printer equipment placed at the City. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff anticipates the new contract will save $40,000 per year over current costs. In large part this is due to lower copy/printing volumes and reduced equipment needs as staff has downsized and technology has made document scanning/distribution more pervasive. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to enter into a five-year agreement with Applied Imaging 1 Commission Meeting Date: October 11, 2011 Date: October 4, 2011 To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission From: Community and Neighborhood Services Department Re: Selection of Vinyl Siding Supplier for Fiscal Year 2011 – 2012 ____________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the Community and Neighborhood Services department’s selection of the Vinyl Siding Supplier for 2011 – 2012 fiscal year.

Warmington Mayor ATTEST: __________________________________ Ann Cummings Clerk CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that the foregoing constitutes a true and complete copy of a resolution adopted by the Muskegon City Commission, County of Muskegon, Michigan, at a regular meeting held on October 11, 2011. ______________________________ Ann Cummings Clerk 10/6/11 Commission Meeting Date: October 11, 2011 Date: October 4, 2011 To: Honorable Mayor & City Commission From: Planning & Economic Development Department RE: Youth Basketball League and Open Gym Proposal- Muskegon Public Schools SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City of Muskegon contracted with the Muskegon Public Schools (“Schools”) for the 2010-2011 school year to provide management of the Youth Basketball League and Open Gym & Swim (formerly supervised by the City Leisure Services Department). The program was successful (see attached report) and the Schools would like to manage the program for the 2011-2012 school year. In fact, they are prepared to start the program this October. The Commission is requested to approve the attached proposal and authorize staff to enter into an agreement with the Schools for oversight of the basketball program and the Open Gym program. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The actual program cost was greater than expected in 2010- 2011, particularly due to the costs of keeping the pool available for Open Swim (due to State requirements for a pool custodian, cleaning locker rooms, and lifeguards). However, the Schools can maintain the 2010-2011 costs of $18,500, if there is no Open Swim. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: Funds are available through the Leisure Services budget. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the “Youth Basketball League and Open Gym Proposal” and authorize staff to enter into a formal agreement with the Schools. September 19, 2011 Youth Basketball League Proposal From: Muskegon Public Schools To: The City of Muskegon Muskegon Community Education is continually looking for new ways to “reach out and change lives” in our community. Collaborating with the City of Muskegon to offer safe, positive after school recreational opportunities for our students offers that opportunity. Last year's Youth Basketball and Open Gym and Swim program established a successful foundation to sustain this collaborative effort. Based on a review of expenses our current proposal is as follows: 1) The MPS Youth Support Services Office located @ MCEC, Room 214 would administer the following programs: Open Gym, and the Youth Basketball League. These programs would run between October 2011 and March 2012. 2) The City of Muskegon would contribute $18,500 towards this partnership. The money would be used for the following: program administration and supervision, custodial services, supplies/materials and support personnel (i.e. referees). Program Descriptions: Youth Basketball League 1) Boy’s and girl’s basketball seasons would run consecutively for a six-week regular game schedule and a two-week tournament schedule to conclude the season. 2) Student registration fee would remain at $25 per student to include: game t- shirt and trophies tournament champion team. (Shorts can be purchased for an additional $7.) 3) Muskegon Community Education will accept responsibility for all administrative and supervisory obligations for the Youth Basketball League program. Open Gym 1) Open Gym will be offered for three hours every Saturday for an eight-week period of time. 2) Muskegon Community Education will accept responsibility for all administrative and supervisory obligations for the Open Gym program. Muskegon Public Schools looks forward to further conversation regarding this proposal. It is in the interest of both agencies that we offer quality programming to our community without duplicating services. It is the policy of the Public Schools of the City of Muskegon that no person shall, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex, age, disability, height, weight, or marital status be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination during any program or activity or in employment.
