2012-48 NEW BUSINESS:
A. Proposed Betten Development Agreement Changes/Promissory Note
with BRA. CITY MANAGER
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City’s Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA) is
obligated to reimburse Betten Automotive Group for eligible costs incurred in
the redevelopment of their Henry Street project plus 6.5% interest. Total
reimbursable costs (plus interest to date) amount to $1,681,590. Under terms of
the original development agreement, these costs would be paid by the BRA
over several years as tax increment revenues were collected. Interest would
continue to accrue on the unpaid balance.
As described more fully, this proposal is for the City to loan the BRA $1.66 million
to pay off Betten now. The benefits are as follows:
• Benefit to BRA: reduce interest costs from 6.5% to 3.25% payable
to City instead of developer
• Benefit to City: rate of return higher than can be achieved on
investments like CD’s or US Treasuries
• Benefit to Developer: cash received up front to help facilitate
further development of Henry Street corridor (also benefits the
City and BRA)
The City would be repaid over thirteen years (or sooner) at a rate of 3.25% from
BRA tax increment proceeds.
5
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City’s loan to the BRA would be carried equally by the
following City funds having adequate cash reserves: General Insurance Fund,
Equipment Fund and Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund. The 3.25% interest is much
better than can be earned on CD’s, US Treasuries or other investment
instruments.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: The BRA budget will be amended to reflect loan
payments to the City instead of reimbursements to developer.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1.) Approval of proposed development agreement
changes and, 2.) execution of the related promissory note between the City
and the BRA.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The BRA met on May 29th and approved the
proposed development agreement changes and promissory note.
Motion by Vice Mayor Gawron, second by Commissioner Hood to approve the
proposed development agreement changes with Betten Development and
execute the related promissory note between the City and the BRA.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Turnquist, Warmington, Hood, Spataro, German, Gawron, and
Wierengo

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total Cost $ 10,500
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve purchase
MEMORANDUM

From: Kelly DeFrench, Public Utility Superintendent

Re: Mueller CL-12 Tapping Machine Equipment Repair Purchase
Mohammed,
We’ve been experiencing mechanical problems with our Mueller
CL- 12 tapping machine. Recently we have noticed that the carbide
teeth on the shell cutters have been breaking off prematurely, this
could be the result of a problem with the Automatic travel / the feed
rate, a gear, or possibly a worn boring bar.
The Mueller CL- 12 tapping machine is used exclusively to make
large watermain taps from 4” thru 12 ” The CL-12 is a specialized
piece of equipment and must be sent to the original equipment
manufacturer, Mueller Co of Decatur Ill, for repairs. The Muller Co.
has estimated reconditioning and a rebuild will be around
$10,500.00. The rebuild will include new internal parts and a new
boring bar.
A new machine would cost around $23,500.00, which is essentially
what we will have when ours is completed. Experts in the field who I
have spoken to recommended rebuilding our machine as opposed to
purchasing a new one.

RE: Purchase of GPS Units
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Authorize staff to purchase between forty and fifty GPS units from networkfleet to be
installed on a number of city owned vehicle/trucks operated by DPW and other
departments.
The proposal calls for the city to trade in the Shadowtracker units the city owns at this
time and invest up to $26,000 (budgeted in the 2012/2013 CIP) for the proposed units
which would be used, at minimum, to track trips, idling and required vehicle
maintenance. The recommendation to purchase from networkfleet is the result of
evaluating various other products (fleetmatics) and having networkfleet’s product for the
last six month and found them to be exactly what we need in addition to submitting the
lowest price.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Invest between $24,000 & $26,000 the first year which includes the purchase of the units
and an annual investment of $25.95/month/unit after the first year.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None at this time, however, future budget will include a $25.95/month/unit for
maintenance and technical support.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to enter into an agreement with networkfleet to purchase the GPS units and
the annual subscription fee for an additional two years.

Excerpted from Section 2101: Development Options
Planned Unit Development (PUD) Purpose
The purpose of this option is to permit flexibility in the regulation of land development; encourage
innovation in land use and variety in design, layout, and type of structures constructed; achieve
economy and efficiency in the use of land, natural resources and utilities; encourage provision of
useful open space; provide adequate housing, employment, and shopping opportunities
particularly suited to the needs of the residents of the City of Muskegon and encourage the use,
reuse, and improvement of existing sites and buildings when the uniform regulations contained in
zoning districts do not provide adequate protection and safeguards for the site or surrounding area.
This option is intended to accommodate developments with mixed or varied uses, to allow some
degree of flexibility in the application of standards and regulations in this Ordinance to achieve
innovation to development on sites with unusual topography or unique settings within the
community, or on land which exhibits difficult or costly development problems, and shall not be
allowed where this option is sought primarily to avoid the imposition of standards and requirements
