AGENDA ITEMS


   1.    Discussion Item: Review of 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.

   Motion by K. Fearnly, supported by L. Hopson, to acknowledge the status of the finances currently.
   Vote: 6 yays, 0 nays, 0 abstentions

   public sidewalk snow and ice control bid including: clear snow from sidewalks, salting, and plowing. Their
   price was $30,000 per year and $1,100 per service price charged after 30 full services. Elite’s proposal was
   for a three-year time period for the same services for a cost of $26,880.00 per year.

    Motion made by A. Serio, supported by L. Hopson, to approve the 3-year seasonal snow and ice control bid

AGENDA ITEMS


   1.   Discussion Item: Consideration of a CIA development and tax increment finance plan


   Jake E. gave an overview of the CIA development and tax increment finance plan and answered questions
   concerning general provisions, powers of the CIA, the need for the plan, and plan development process as
   part of the plan background. Development and tax increment financing plan benefits were outlined to the
   CIA, along with: legal basis of the plan, requirements of the development plan, the plan schedule and
   budget, duration of the plan, reimbursement of excess tax capture, and project descriptions (design,
   economic restructuring, organization and promotion/marketing).     Jake outlined 13 broad categories of
   projects within the four areas. He also outlined sources of CIA financing and the tax increment financing
   plan (overview, maximum amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred and duration of the CIA and TIF
   through 2051). A list of 104 CIA properties and their current taxable value was presented.

   The CIA’s tax increment financing represents a taxable base of $6.6 million (zero base as of Dec. 31, 2021)
   which is estimated to have a first-year tax capture of $4,600.

   Jake E. and the board discussed the transition from the BID to the CIA over the next three to five years.

   If approved, the plan would be sent to the Muskegon City Commission for a public hearing and potential
   passage at the commission’s Dec. 14 meeting.

   Motion by Ron J. and supported by Louise H.:

   I move to adopt the Muskegon Lakeside Corridor Improvement Authority’s development and tax increment
   financing plan as presented and recommend the Muskegon City Commission approve it.

Re: BID Finances


Date: 2-10-22




The financial statement from Jan. 31 shows that of the first year of three years of special
assessments, $9,900 of an anticipated $24,011 has been received by the city treasurer. Those
2021 assessments not paid were put on the winter tax bills along with all of the 2022
assessments. The Lakeside BID will receive those funds in an April timeframe. Those
assessments that are delinquent after Feb. 15 will be made part of the Muskegon County
Delinquent Tax Bond Issue and funds forward to the Lakeside BID in a June timeframe.

The Lakeside BID expects to receive $35,000 from the construction settlement on the
Lakeshore Drive project. The Lakeside District Association is to pay the BID $2,500 for half the
cost of the 2021 Christmas decorations. The CIA can expect to generate an estimated total of
$7,400 for the district in 2022 and 2023.

One other suggested revenue source would be to ask the city/DPW for a contribution to the
annual sidewalk snow removal service for the Lakeside district based upon sidewalks on city
property. The BID is paying Elite Snow Removal $26,880 annually for three years to clear and
salt 11,248 feet of sidewalk. Of that total, city property has 1,601 feet of sidewalk being
serviced, or 14.2 percent of the total. The city share of the side walk contract would be $3,816
for each of the three years.

The Lakeside BID could formally ask for the city contribution to the sidewalk snow removal
services. A suggested motion:

        | move that the Lakeside Business Improvement District asks the City of Muskegon to
        contribute $3,816 for 2021, 2022 and 2023 to the BID to cover the cost of sidewalk
        snow removal for city property. That is based upon the city’s 14.2 percent of the
        sidewalks being serviced for an annual contract of $26,880.

The Lakeside BID-CIA would have estimated total revenues of $118,948 over three years or
39,649 annually. After paying for snow removal services, the BID-CIA would have an estimated
annual fund balance of $12,769.

This analysis provides the BID-CIA board information on which to make future financial
decisions. Your packet includes the initial budget and work plan for the Lakeside BID approved
by the Muskegon City Commission in October 2020.
        Lakeside Business Improvement District Proposed
                          Program Budget and Detail

INTRODUCTION


The Lakeside BID Board has recommended a special assessment rate and district boundary to
the City Commission of the City of Muskegon. In the event that this district is created and
revenues are subsequently generated through a special assessment tax, the following is a
summary of programming that will be funded and implemented by the BID.


PROGRAMS


Sidewalk Snow Removal
Estimated Annual Cost: $12,000
The Bid Board plans to conduct a competitive bid process and retain a contractor for a 3-year
contract to conduct snow removal on the sidewalk system on Lakeshore Drive. This will include
plowing and salting as needed.


Landscaping
Estimated Annual Cost: $4,500
Working with the City of Muskegon Department Public Works, the BID Board desires to
maintain and expand on the new flower beds and landscaping that has been installed in the
corridor. The current plans call for a private contractor that would be competitively bid for a 3-
year contract.


Promotions/Marketing/Decorations
Estimated Annual Cost: $4,000
Similar to downtown Muskegon, the BID Board seeks to install seasonal decorations such as
holiday lighting, specialized seasonal floral installations, and banner poles. There is also a
working strategy to actively market the businesses and attractions in the district in regional
markets.


Administration
Estimated Annual Costs: $3,750
The Director of Economic Development is the city staff member assigned to advise, assist, and
prepare documents for the Lakeside BID. This is an estimate of value of annual hours worked
that the BID will pay to the City for administrative services.


Contingency      $683
