Re: Staff comments on agenda items for Nov. 3 special meeti
The Lakeside BID board has a special meeting Wednesday Nov. 2 at 9 a.m. in the
Muskegon City Commission chambers at City Hall, 933 Terrace. The board needs
four members for a quorum. Here are staff comments on agenda items:
Finances: Although the city account shows about $9,800 “in the bank,” staff
believes that the special assessments for the next three years will generate
approximately $22,000 annually and the BID will receive a one-time payment of
$35,000 on the construction settlement with the Lakeshore Drive contractor. That
would be $33,666 annually for the next three years. The BID has sidewalk snow
removal and Christmas decorations on its work plan. Over the three years of the
current BID assessment, the BID cannot spend any more than $101,000. The BID
already has spent about $2,000 of that amount for six portable basketball hoops.
Snow removal proposals: The Lakeside BID has two proposal from the city’s
Requests for Proposals. The RFP and the two responses from Elite and from
Summit are in the agenda packet.
Christmas Decoration Proposal: The Lakeside BID also has a proposal from
Christmas Creations by Bailey for $5,100 for wrapping and greens on 60 light
poles in the district along Lakeshore Drive. Lit seasonal wreaths can be purchased
at $125 a pole as ordered.
2022 Lakeside BID meetings: Staff recommends three meetings next year or at
the call of the chair. One in January to review snow removal services, one in April
to discuss the upcoming summer/landscaping and one in October for snow
removal services. It is up to the members as to what day of the month and time of
the day to meet.

AGENDA ITEMS
1. Discussion Item: Snow Removal BID Timeline
Jake Eckholm hopes to have bids for snow removal soon to discuss at the October meeting. A lot of
contractors have said they will wait to bid because of the warm weather that has allowed them to
continue other types of work. Jake adjusted the deadline to accommodate. The group discussed the
boundaries of the BID and where the snow removal will occur. The question was asked why the
residents weren’t assessed a fee even though their properties were zoned commercial. Jake answered
that the law that allows BIDs does not specify zoning codes. He explained that Dave Alexander will take
over Lakeside BID at the October meeting.
2. Discussion Item: Lakeside Business Event in October
Small Business Saturday was discussed. Business need to be open. Holidays in Lakeside will be the
following Saturday. Louise Hopson would like to set up a planning committee for events. Dave
Alexander asked if the Lakeside District Association would then continue on as the planning committee
for events essentially. Louise agreed that it would and said that Danielle, Shirley Green and Andrea
Riegler would participate. Christmas decorations were discussed. Brackets are up for banners, an issue
with lighting was mentioned, and Dave mentioned that Terry Puffer from Five Star Realty is planning to
donate $10k towards the decorations downtown. Dave said that we’d like to do $30k. Louise said that
she believes that past year’s budgets have been approximately $2k but she will have to confirm with
Cathy Brubaker-Clarke, who has the past budgets. Louise said she will bring a proposed budget into the
next meeting. She also brought up the subject of the “Come to Lakeside” ad that the group have done in
the past. There was a motion that followed:
Motion by M. Flermoen, supported by D. Ghezzi, to approve a $1700 budget for a half page ad for the Visitors
Guide. Vote: 5 yays, 0 nays, 0 abstentions
MOTION PASSES
NEW BUSINESS
None
OTHER
L. Hopson brought up the point that the group needs different planning committee to orchestrate different
events and ventures. She believes that local business owners will be willing to help and that having a “go-to”
person will help resolve any future issues.
D. Alexander talked about marketing and graphics in the future can be paid for through the CIA and contract
with someone to meet those needs. LDA is currently paying for the website but now can be paid for by the CIA.
D. Alexander asked the group what the signature events does the group want the BID-CIA to be responsible for
—are they existing events or do they want to create new. He asked the group to consider the season of the event
as well and what would serve best. A. Serio stated that his opinion is that they do not use an existing event, but
maybe consider a Spring into Lakeside event to kick-start the season. L. Hopson said that they should consider
an October Fest event.
ADJOURN
Motion by R. Jenkins, supported by A. Serio, to adjourn the meeting.
Vote: 5 yays, 0 nays, 0 abstentions
MOTION PASSES
Meeting adjourned by L. Hopson at 10:15am.

Snow will be plowed and ice melt applied at the discretion of Summit Lawn Care & Snow Plowing, Inc. We will
make every effort to have snow removed before 8 am; however, this may not be possible if 1" of snow has not
fallen before 2 am. When customer agrees to deicing as needed, deicing will occur at the discretion of Summit
Lawn Care & Snow Plowing, Inc. to designated areas when slippery and/or icy conditions warrant, regardless of
snowfall totals. If snow stacking or hauling is necessary, the customer will be notified for approval and will be
charged at an hourly rate. If diesel or gas prices go over $4.50 per gallon we may find it necessary to apply a fuel
surcharge. Requests to return to clear walks after city plows may be counted as a full-service visit. Snow clearing
during extreme snow events of 5" or more in a 12-hour period may count as multiple visits. Salt prices are based
on 2021 pre-purchase prices negotiated by Summit Lawn Care & Snow Plowing with suppliers. In the event an
unexpected salt shortage occurs, customer may be notified regarding price increases. In the event that salt prices
decrease, customer may be notified of a price decrease.

Dave it looks like Bronner's is going to be the best source for those lights you mentioned. | don't think we can get any better price than what
you mentioned. However, | was looking at the banner brackets currently mounted on the poles and we could hang a matching fresh pine
wreath on the brackets and wrap the wreath in LED lights. It would not be reusable because it's made with fresh pine but it'd be cheaper than
purchasing the decorations from Bronner's. We can do the wreath for $125 each. If you figure the lights decorations have a 3-5 year life
expectancy it'd be a similar cost and you'd get a new one every year. Just a thought...
Attached is the contract with light pole and wreath costs. Let me know what you think.
Thanks

OVERVIEW
Christmas Creations by Bailey has been decorating communities across the Northern Midwest for decades. In fact,
our company was started right in Downtown Muskegon as we decorated the buildings and streets of old Western

past five years as we decorated Western Avenue, Farmer’s Market, Western Market, Lakeside and several local
businesses.
Our classical decorations feature fresh, locally grown pine and bright red handcrafted bows. Our goal is to create a
holiday environment that brings out the spirit of the holidays for all Downtown visitors as they enjoy the local
