To: Muskegon Downtown Improvement District Board members
From: Dave Alexander, executive director of Downtown Muskegon Now (staff)
Re: Background on items for the February 23, 2016 meeting
BID Update: We agreed in January to gather back to evaluate the beginning of the BID with the
mailing of the assessments and start of the expanded sidewalk snow removal contract with
H&H. The financials show that more than $4,200 has been received from at least eight assessed
properties in the initial two weeks since the assessments arrived. It has been a light winter for
snow.
Landscaping: Next up is our landscaping contract for the spring and the fall. Here is the RFP
from last year and the winning bid from H&H. The mowing of the three DMDC lots on West
Western Avenue need to be bid separately and paid by the DMDC as that is not a BID expense
as it was a condo association expense last year that could be wrapped into overall contract. The
flowers and flower planter upkeep in the district has been handled separately. Jonathan
Seyferth suggests that for such small contract that we again hire Ole Henry Gardens to handle
that. | will walk the district with Ole Henry Gardens and have them provide a quote outside the
RFPif that is acceptable. My goal is to get the RFP out in early March and have a contract set by
April 1.
Outside of snow/landscaping: DMN staff wants to brief you on events and projects outside of
snow removal and landscaping for potential funding as 2016 progresses. First Fridays and the
map sign would be specific future requests. We have no specific requests for the sculpture
competition and GusMacker as we are only providing staff support. Both are not our initiatives.
BID Board meetings for 2016: | request that we change the BID Board from the third Tuesday of
each month to the fourth Tuesday as it provides me with a better monthly work flow with the
other two boards | staff-DMDC and DMN — have second week of the month meetings. This will
need board action if we have a quorum.

Authorize Chairman Doug Pollock to sign the city’s promissory note for $45,000 on
behalf of the BID board.
Motion: Frank Peterson
Support: Bob Tarrant
Vote: Allin favor
The DMN had sought through a Request for Proposals expanded BID sidewalk snow
removal services at the end of October. Only one proposal was received from H&H
Lawn Service & Snowplowing of North Muskegon. Due to the delay in approval of the
BID assessments by Muskegon City Commission, the H&H proposal needed to be
resubmitted.
Authorize DMN Executive Director Dave Alexander to sign a BID snow removal contract
with H&H from February 1, 2016 through April 15, 2016 not to exceed $24,000 with
potential additional charges for salt and snow hauling with loader and dump truck.
Discussion included a request to have at least holes cut into the snow banks at mid-
blocks to allow clear access from the sidewalk to the street. Another suggestion was to
remove snow from between the street and sidewalks when available and to coordinate
that work with the city of Muskegon DPW.
Motion: Frank Peterson
Support: Mike Hennessy
Vote: All in favor
Appointment of a treasurer. Nomination was for Connie Taylor to serve as treasurer and
that she be authorized to be signatory to any BID bank accounts.

Dear Muskegon Downtown Improvement District property owner:
Please find your 2016 Muskegon Downtown Improvement District assessment bill
enclosed.
After a public hearing, you may be aware that the Muskegon City Commission
unanimously gave its second approval of the 2016 assessment roll for the district
at its Jan. 12, 2016 meeting. The commission-approved, nine-member Business
Improvement District Board met Jan. 19, 2016 and reaffirmed the district budget
for this first year to include specific parking lot, alleyway and sidewalk snow
removal; spring and fall landscape services for the district; and downtown events
and marketing, among other items.
The Business Improvement District Board is requesting at least half payment of
the 2016 assessment before July 1 so that services can begin to be delivered. A
second assessment billing will be sent out July 1 reflecting any unpaid balance.
The assessment payment is due in full by Oct. 31, 2016. After that date, any
balance due on the 2016 Muskegon Downtown Improvement District assessment
will be applied to the 2016 winter property taxes for your property, due Feb. 14,
2017. After that date, unpaid assessments become a delinquent property tax
subject to penalties and interest.
Thank you for your ongoing support of development and improvements in
downtown Muskegon.
Sincerely,
The Muskegon Downtown Improvement District Board
Downtown Muskegon Business Improvement District
Budget Recommendation & Explanation
Date: October 2015
To: Muskegon City Clerk/City Commission
From: Downtown Muskegon Business Improvement District Board
Budget Recommendation:
Based on a two tier assessment where “Class A” Properties pay $0.08/sf annual and “Class B” Properties pay
$0.02/sf annual the Downtown Muskegon BID can expect to bring in $128,467.36 during 2016. Based on this
Assessment the below budget is recommended.
2016 Downtown Muskegon BID Budget
Downtown Beauitification/Enhancements
Spring/Fall Clean-up & Summer Landscaping | $ 16,000.00
Holiday Decorating $2,500.00
Banners & Directional Signs $7,000.00
Snowplowing & Salt $72,000.00
Marketing, Advertising & Development
Advertising/Marketing & Events $ 24,000.00
Art $2,000.00
Reserve Funds $4,967.36
Total | $128,467.36
Budget Note:
Allline items, with the exception of Snowplowing & Salt and Spring/Fall Clean-up & Summer Landscaping,
will be locked and no funds expended until specific board action is taken to release those funds. This is to
ensure proper funds are available for projects.
All unused funds will go into cash reserves.
Budget Explanation:
Downtown Beautification/Enhancements
Spring/Fall Clean-up & Summer Landscaping
The Downtown Muskegon BID will contract with one or more third party landscaping companies to conduct a
spring cleanup of common area planning beds within the BID, and general cleanup of grounds as a result from
winter wear and tear. Summer Landscaping includes the wedding and fertilization of common areas throughout
the BID (grass cutting is done by the city). This line item also includes the planting and maintenance of flower
planters throughout the BID (this item could be completed by a different vendor than the one doing the
landscaping and clean up). Fall clean-up will consist of removal of leaves from the BID district and preparation
of the planning beds for the winter.
Holiday Decorating
Funds in this line item will be used to purchase holiday decorations which can be displayed within the BID.
These could be used to complement existing decorations in Hackley Park or expand displays to other areas of
the BID.
Banners & Directional Signs
In an effort to support exiting businesses and help downtown visitors navigate downtown, new directional
signage (wayfinding) needs to be updated throughout the BID. Funds in this line item will be used to
update/create wayfinding and used to brand downtown.
Snowplowing & Salt
The BID’s largest line item is dedicated to snowplowing and salt application along sidewalks within the BID
where the majority of the Class A properties are located along portions of W. Western Ave., Clay Ave., Morris
Ave., Terrace St., Jefferson, 15, 274, 3°97, 6" & 7" Streets. Funds will also be used to clear parking areas which
are generally used by the public — specifically the two lots between 2"! and 3 Streets accessed off of Morris
Ave.
Marketing, Advertising & Development
Advertising/Marketing & Events
In an effort to encourage new and repeat visitors to Downtown Muskegon funds will be dedicated to advertising
Downtown Muskegon within the Muskegon metro area. Advertising will focus on billboards and web based
advertising including, but not limited to, internet based advertising on various local/regional websites and
Facebook. The BID will also look at partnering with existing campaigns and marking efforts to try and leverage
additional exposure for Downtown Muskegon. If possible, based on budget constraints, cable TV and Radio
advertising could also be considered. Print advertising in specific tourism and/or trade based publications could
also be considered based on budget restrictions.
The goal with this advertising and marketing effort is to inform the Greater Muskegon Community about the
various shops, services, restaurants, activities and cultural amenities available in downtown Muskegon.
Portions of this budget will also be used to help create new downtown events or enhance existing events
specifically designed to bring individuals into downtown Muskegon businesses. It is expected that some of
these events will be partnerships with other downtown entities.
Art
A key aspect of a downtown experience is one’s sense of place. A strong sense of place can encourage
visitors to linger and explore longer. One way to achieve this sense of place is with public art. Other downtown
partners, including the Community Foundation for Muskegon County, the City of Muskegon, The Muskegon
Museum of Art (among others) have made a strong commitment to enhancing our downtown’s
public/community art. This can be seen in the historical downtown mural project and the various sculptures
scattered throughout the downtown. This art serves as an additional draw to the downtown.
In an effort to support additional public art within the BID, this line item will be used to create a fund which will
set aside monies each year and used to help create, support and/or enhance public art activities within
downtown Muskegon ~ monies in this line item do not need to be spent each year. Funds would be distributed
at the discretion of the BID Board with the understanding that the art funded in part or fully by the BID Art Fund
be in free public areas of the downtown and displayed in a way that enhances the downtown experience.

LAKESHORE ART FESTIVAL
SCULPTURE COMPETITION PROPOSAL
For Downtown Muskegon
OVERVIEW
Lakeshore Art Festival is pleased to submit this proposal for a sculpture competition in the heart of our
downtown area. We would like to invite sculptors to present their work on the streets of Downtown
Muskegon, where they will be on sale and on display for one year.
The Objective
The objective of this project is to promote art and sculpture in our downtown atmosphere. To bring 8-10
new sculptures to Muskegon for one year, with hopes of one becoming a permanent fixture.
The Opportunity
This project gives Downtown Muskegon the opportunity to expand its art scene. We would be able to
have a bigger draw to the city by providing a positive setting for artists and art admirers. This also gives
the opportunity for the Lakeshore Art Festival to partner with Downtown Muskegon and the Muskegon Art
Museum to create a positive atmosphere for kicking off this project.
OUR PROPOSAL
This is a plan that would invite well-versed artists to compete with one another for cash prizes as well as
exposure in the Muskegon area.
This would be a competition where winners would be recognized on a large scale, as well as the option to
display the art in our town for one year after winning their prize. We would use this competition to
compliment Lakeshore Art Festival and to enhance the existing art in Muskegon.
With this proposal we would also focus on making sure these artists and their work would be featured in
our art walk brochures that are handed out during the Lakeshore Art Festival, and year round through
Downtown Muskegon Now, Muskegon Museum of Art and other partners.
Rationale
« After growing success with the Lakeshore Art Festival, it is clear that art is a topic that many here in
Muskegon are interested in. That interest is also sparked outside of Muskegon, as many visitors and
exhibitors travel from out of city and even out of state to visit our Art Festival. To add an attraction
from a sculpting competition would only ignite further interest.
e The Muskegon Museum of Art is local gem, historic landmark and nationally recognized museum.
This project can help enhance and support their mission of... “The Muskegon Museum of Art,
founded on a tradition of aesthetic excellence, is committed to fostering the life-long study and
appreciation of the visual arts by strengthening, preserving, and exhibiting its collections; offering a
wide range of traditional and contemporary exhibitions; stimulating learning and creativity through
diverse public and educational programming; and enhancing community involvement and support in
a safe, accessible, and welcoming environment.”
« This proposal can be similar in scope to the Muskegon Museum of Art, Avian Avatars projects. The
Avian Avatar sculptures were scheduled to be in Muskegon for just over one year before relocation.
There was overwhelming positive response to these sculptures being in Muskegon.
Timeline for Execution
The timeline for this project would begin the summer before the art is to be revealed here in Muskegon.
This gives the artists one year to work on and complete their sculptures. This would also give us a year to
incorporate the artists into the programs, art walks, and Lakeshore Art Festival plans.
Dates below are best-quess estimates and are subject to change until an exact plan is determined.

EXPECTED RESULTS

« Support of local businesses from tourists and overall growth of those coming into Muskegon
» More attention to Muskegon Museum of Art and Downtown Muskegon

e Cultural growth in the city
PRICING
The following table details the tentative pricing for this sculpture project. It is mostly estimated with great room for
adjustments.
Project Costs Price
Unveiling team at LAF (volunteer based) $0.00
Construction and installation (estimate based on installation of similar $10,000
sculptures in the area)
Maintenance $2,000
Marketing $10,000
Award money $10,000
Miscellaneous/Other $3,000
Disclaimer; The prices listed in the preceding table are an estimate for the services discussed. This summary is not a
warranty of final price. Estimates are subject to change if project specifications are changed or costs for outsourced
services change before a contract is executed
CONCLUSION
Overall, this sculpture competition would be a great addition to the growing Downtown Muskegon
landscape. As we continue our efforts to improve our art scene and Watch Muskegon, this plan will truly
compliment that and line up with that mission. We would be creating a bigger draw to the city and
Downtown’s “Main Street” by providing a positive setting for artists and art admirers alike.
To continue with this project will be a smart investment and great plan. This is especially true if we can
collaborate with the Lakeshore Art Festival, Downtown Muskegon, and Muskegon’s Museum of Art to
promote and launch this yearly tradition.
Thank you,
Lakeshore Art Festival
