From: Dave Alexander, DMN executive director
Re: Comments/background on Jan. 24 agenda items
Date: Jan. 20, 2017
Election of officers: At our Nov. 22 meeting, the board informally agreed to continue with its
current leadership of Doug Pollock as chairman and Justin Clark as vice chairman. On Tuesday, |
will start the meeting, call for nominations and conduct the vote. The elected chairman will run
the remainder of the meeting.
Financial report: The BID financial report as of Jan. 20 shows that we have $41,304 in our
account, an amount yet to show the $20,407 in assessment revenues for 2016 not yet received
but also not reflecting a total of $16,000 in sidewalk snow removal services not paid the city for
December and January.
As of the time that the unpaid assessments were put on the 2017 winter tax bills, $20,407 was
owed by 28 property owners in the BID. That is 17.7 percent of the $115,223 generated by the
BID in 2016 and 21.3 percent of the 131 total property payers. The BID will receive the $20,407
in assessments paid by Feb. 14 and the $115,223 in 2017 assessments paid in the winter tax
bills as of Feb. 14 sometime in late February or early March. The unpaid assessments as of Feb.
14 will become delinquent and subject to a Muskegon County delinquent property tax bond.
The BID’s share of those bond revenues will be distributed to us sometime in June.
Sidewalk snow removal update: We have been blessed as a BID with moderate snow early in
the winter and a very warm January. | have in your packet the signed letter of understanding on
sidewalk snow removal between the BID and the city DPW. Also, Mohammed Al-Shatel has
provided us a financial summary of city costs through Jan. 13.
First, | want to recognize what | have found as the fine service of city staff. Especially responsive
has been DPW’s Kevin Santos who | work with on downtown issues. The city staff has been
responsive and customer service oriented. A case in point, is the request ofJerviss-Fethke
Insurance and Burger King for service on the east end of the BID. Two streets were added by
Frank and DPW at no cost to address those two business’ concerns. Besides those two
businesses, | have not received one phone call or email on sidewalk issues, Every morning when
the 2-inch trigger has been reached, the sidewalks are cleared and salted if conditions warrant.
As for our financial standing, we are paying $8,000 a month for Monday-Saturday service and
time and materials for Sunday. Mo has provide us an accounting showing a city expenditure of
$9,227 through Jan. 13 with $1,804 coming in additional costs. Mo as waived the additional
$1,804, accepting as full payment the $16,000 for December and January. That leaves us with
approximately $4,400 unspent from the budget for the first two months of the year for
potential additional charges for time and materials not covered in the monthly payment the
rest of the year. | will also raise with Frank Peterson at our Tuesday meeting the potential of
moving some of our budget snow removal over to landscaping if such a mild winter continues. |
would point out the transparency of it all, these are internal financial statements no private
contractor would ever be willing to divulge.
2017 DMN-BID letter of understanding: The two organizations signed a letter in 2016. With the
extension of the BID, the letter needs updating for 2017. A proposed update is included in the
packet showing the changes in bold, mainly acknowledging the $25,000 administration fee the
BID is paying DMN for its services. The DMN board already as unanimously approved the 2017
letter.
2017 Landscaping: | have added to your packed the 2016 landscaping RFP, H&H landscaping
contract and the O’le Henry planter contract (services delivered separately without a RFP). |
need direction for 2017.
As has been the case with sidewalk snow removal, | want to explore city providing landscape
services for 2017. The end of 2016 showed what the city is capable of if it is willing to continue
such attention on downtown. The problem with the city and H&H last year was overlapping
efforts that were not really coordinated. Another letter of understanding between the BID and
the city DPW might provide the best use of the $16,000 budgeted for landscaping. That budget
includes the 27 planters. If the city is not interested in the planters portion of the downtown
landscaping, | would like to bid that work out separately. We spent $1,900 for the materials and
initial planting and $4,200 for weekly watering and maintenance. | think O’le Henry did a fine
job as many expressed pleasure with the planters in 2016. However, | want to make sure we get
the best bang for our buck with a new RFPif the city does not provide that service. Likewise, |
would want to do another RFP for the overall landscaping if we do not go with the city.
First Friday contribution: BID is being asked to financially support the initial three First Fridays
in 2017. Please see the poster that | have included in the packet. BID gave $2,500 in 2016.
Similarly, this $2,500 request would come from the 2017 events and marketing account of the
BID, which has been budgeted at $24,000. Helping out First Fridays now will assist us in our
transition with Ellen Berends leaving.
Downtown message signs: | sent you an email concerning the $3,000 in foundation grants
DMN received. | want to spend those on downtown message sign boards through the BID and
its streetscape fund. | need to know how you want me to proceed.
Pop-up Shops: Cindy Larsen and Frank will make a pitch for BID participation. If comfortable
with the expenditure, | would suggest the funds — $5,000 request — come out of the $13,000
BID streetscape account.
Western Avenue condo association: Gary Post will make a formal request for the BID to help
with the public space expenses along Third Street. The condo groups is meeting in the near
future and Gary would like to report the BID’s response back to them. | think the request is
legitimate but the BID could only commit to helping out one year at this point.
DMN events-promotion position: | will update you on changes within my agency at the
meeting. Please find the job description for Ellen’s position in the packet.

Meeting Minutes
Nov. 22, 2016
380 W. Western Ave., Suite 202 Muskegon, MI at 4 PM
1) Call to Order: 4:04 PM
Attendance:
Doug Pollock (Chair), Gary Post, John Riegler, Bruce Lindstrom, Mike Hennessy, Bob
Tarrant and Frank Peterson
Excused Absent(s): Connie Taylor and Justin Clark (VC)
Guests: Dave Alexander, Downtown Muskegon Now director; Ellen Berends, DMN

3) Consent Agenda
a) Approval of Agenda, minutes from Sept. 27, 2016 meetings, acceptance of the
financial statements as of Nov. 15, 2016,
Motion: Gary Post
Support: John Riegler
Vote: All voted in favor
Public Comment (on an agenda item) — None. The board chose to leave the floor open for
the whole meeting allowing attendees to participate as they like.
5) Unfinished Business
a) The BID board had before it the final approval of a Letter of Understanding between
the BID and the city Department of Public Works for downtown sidewalk snow removal
for 2016-17. H&H continues to provide parking lot and alley snow removal per the BID
request for proposals. The topic generated many questions, comments and debate.
Doug Pollock wanted the letter to reflect the BID not paying for the entire month of
November since no snow removal services were needed. Bob Tarrant agreed. John
Riegler said that the beginning of the season has backed the BID board into a corner
on this issue. The proposed agreement results in a lot less service and a lot more cost
than last winter with a private contractor, Doug Pollock said. He wants to bid out the
service next year to determine what the best competitive cost is.
Gary Post pointed out the compromise of a 1.5 inch trigger to a 2 inch trigger for all
days of the week and weekends. Mohammed Al-Shatel said that the city and the
downtown BID property owners are all in this together. He suggested a $7,500 a
month December through March for downtown sidewalk snow removal as proposed.
1
Gary Post said that is an arbitrary number because no really knows the exact costs of
sidewalk snow removal. Mohammed Al-Shatel said he'd like to try it the next four
months.
Doug Pollock said he is suspicious with government having a “pot of money” and that
the BID should be stingy with its resources. Mohammed Al-Shatel said this is “not a
money-making” proposition for the city. DPW wants to do the best job possible. BID
was sold on sidewalk clearing, Mike Hennessy said.
Mohammed A\l-Shatel said that weekend coverage should be on the major downtown
arteries of Clay, Western, Morris and Third. He said DPW would handle Monday
through Saturday for a flat fee of $8,000 a month with Sunday be additional on a time
and materials basis. The weekend service would be Western from Terrace to
Seventh, Clay from Terrace to Third, Morris from Terrace to Third and Third from
Morris to Merrill.
Such a compromise with $8,000 a month flat fee for December through March for
Monday to Saturday service and Sundays on an as-needed basis for the cost of time
and materials. The weekday service map would be as proposed and the weekend
service map as outlined above by Mohammed Al-Shatel. This will be put into a letter of
understanding written by Dave Alexander and signed by the BID board and the city.
Motion: Mike Hennessy
Support: Frank Peterson
Vote: All voted in favor
6) New Business
a) Dave Alexander presented a 2017 BID budget and work plan that was from the
originals approved in the BID by the city commission. However, the $150,000
expenditure budget -- with revenues including fund balance from 2016 -- for city
accounting purposes was divided into two halves Jan. 1-June 30 and July 1-Dec. 31.
The budget was divided and the Jan. 1-June 30 was before the BID board for
approval.
Motion: Bruce Lindstrom
Support: Bob Tarrant
Vote: All voted in favor
b) The BID board discussed the assessment district going forward beyond 2017, which
already has been approved by the Muskegon City Commission. Chairman Doug
Pollock appointed himself, Bob Tarrant and Mike Hennessy to work with Dave
Alexander to arrive with a recommendation for the BID board for its March 28 meeting.
Subsequently, the BID board will need to make a recommendation to the Muskegon
City Commission.
7) Other Business
a) Ellen Berends updated the BID board on events and decorations for the end of 2016.
DMN partnered with the city for a highly successful Halloween event Saturday Oct. 29.
The final First Friday event was Nov. 4 at the Lakeshore Museum of Art. First Fridays
will pick back up in February 2017 with the downtown Snowfest celebration of the
Muskegon Greater Jaycees. Plans are set for Holidays in the City and the Community
Christmas Tree Lighting Nov. 26. Christmas decorations this year are being provided
to the BID and the city for downtown by the Bailey Family company on a seasonal
rental arrangement. The BID will contribute its $2,500 budgeted for Christmas
decorations with the remainder paid for by the city of Muskegon.
b) The board discussed its chairmanship. The consensus was to remain with current
board leadership in 2017. A formal vote will be the first meeting in 2017.
c) The next meeting is Tuesday Jan. 24, 2016 4 p.m. in the chamber training room, 380
W. Western. The meeting schedule would follow every other month with 2017 meeting

Letter of Understanding
City of Muskegon DPW and Muskegon downtown Business Improvement District
This is a Letter of Understanding between the Muskegon downtown Business Improvement District (BID)
and city of Muskegon Department of Public Works (city) concerning the snowplowing of downtown
sidewalks for the winter season from Dec. 1, 2016 to April 1, 2017. City and BID officials will work
together to provide superior snow removal services the most efficient, cost-effective way.
The BID board voted on Sept. 27, 2016 to seek sidewalk snow plowing services from the city for the
upcoming winter season. H&H Landscaping and Snowplowing Services of North Muskegon will continue
providing parking lot and alleyway snow removal this coming season as they have in previous winters.
For December 2016 through March 2017, the BID will pay the city a total of $32,000 as a retainer to
provide the outlined services below for Monday through Saturday. Sunday sidewalk services from
December 2016 through March 2017 will be requested on an “as needed” basis and billed by the city for
time and materials.
Monthly costs and invoices will be sent to Downtown Muskegon Now as managers of the BID and paid
by the city Finance Department with BID funds to the DPW. Muskegon DPW will provide DMN a monthly
accounting of the downtown sidewalk activity and expenses, reports that will be shared with BID board
members.
Sidewalk snowplowing, salting (as needed) and snow pile removal (as needed) will be provided by the
city when fresh snow accumulations are 2 inches or greater measured at Third Street and West Western
Avenue each morning. The goal with overnight snowfalls is to clear the sidewalks by 10 a.m. the next
morning starting along Western Avenue, if possible. Sidewalk snowplowing services provided by the city
on Sundays and holidays will result in higher charges due to overtime and will be triggered by downtown
needs. Sidewalk snow clearing is more limited on Saturdays as outlined below. The goal on Saturdays is
to have the sidewalks on the main streets of Western, Clay, Morris and Third cleared by noon or as
needed.
The area of sidewalk snow removal services is shown on the attached maps.
Sidewalk Snow Removal for weekdays (Monday-Friday map)
Unless otherwise noted, BOTH sides of the following streets should be plowed
- W.Western Ave. between 7" Street and Pine Street (approximately 1.6 miles total for both sides
of Western).
- _W. Clay Ave. between 3” St. and Terrace St. (approximately 0.8 miles total for both sides of
Clay)
- Webster Ave from 3” St. to 2” St. - only the northside of Webster should be plowed
- Morris St between 3” St. and Terrace St. (approximately 0.6 miles total for both sides of the
