Special assessment rates: 4 cents/sf and 2 cents/sf capped at $1,600 4. Specific special assessments: Per the assessment roll 5. How to be assessed: Winter property tax bills 6. A recommendation of this being the final three years of the BID A separate motion would needed: 1. How will the funds be spent: Per budget and work plan If approved, the next steps would be: 1.

Send out the special assessment notice and ability of property owners to vote their support or objection. 5. Have the commission take final action by Oct. 31 for assessments on the 2023 winter tax bills To our Downtown Muskegon neighbors: The City of Muskegon in conjunction with Lakeside stakeholders is proposing to renew the Lakeside Business Improvement District (BID) assessment for three more years, starting in January of 2024. The BID board -- appointed by the Muskegon City Commission of BID assessment paying property owners – is recommending this renewal. Funds from the BID assessments from 2021-2023 have enabled us to pay for many items which improved the Lakeside business district which include the following: snow removal from sidewalks; Christmas decorations and holiday tree lighting, landscaping and maintenance; Lakeside events; advertisement in the Visitors Guide and Lake Hawks basketball hoops. It is so important that we continue supporting these much-needed services in Lakeside so that we can continue to preserve the value of our district. Lakeside has never looked so good and we should continue to keep this positivity going! This is not the time to back off on supporting downtown but instead continuing to support continued growth. We are asking you to help keep this momentum by supporting the BID district for 2024-2026 at a reduced special assessment rate. Please review the enclosed letter for details, including your proposed assessment amount. The Lakeside BID Board has proposed a significant reduction in the district footprint to better align with downtown benefits, reducing the assessment rates and a continued budget and work plan to reflect the district. The 2024-2026 BID documents, including the Benefit Analysis Summary, can be viewed in the Clerk’s Office on the first floor at City Hall, or on the City’s website at www.shorelinecity.com. Sincerely, Contessa Alexander Contessa Alexander City of Muskegon Development Analyst 2024-2026 Assessment From: Contessa Alexander, BID-CIA staff Date: May 17, 2023 To: Muskegon City Clerk/City Commission From: Lakeside Business Improvement District Board Overview: The three-year Lakeside Business Improvement District special assessment district ends on Dec. 31, 2023. It has been successful in providing an essential service in sidewalk snow removal, allowing for a transition from the Lakeside District Association to the Corridor Improvement Authority and establishing a future of quality public services to a critical commercial district between downtown and the beach. As time goes on, the CIA’s tax increment financing revenues will grow to replace the BID revenues. The Lakeside Business Improvement District Board recommends that the BID be renewed for a final three years, 2024-2026 so as to complete the transition to the CIA, continuing with current district boundaries, placing the special assessments on the winter tax bills and recommending that this be the final BID renewal request. The rate based upon square footage of land of the assessed commercial properties, Lakeside BID recommends 2 cents the established rate for industrial, automotive and utility properties that do not gain as much benefit from the district as the other commercial uses. The Lakeside BID recommends a 4-cent rate for the next three years based upon financial analysis of revenues and expenditures. Based upon conservative assumptions, the recommended rate maintains current services and discretionary funds for the three years, offers a 20 percent reduction in special assessments and puts the CIA in a position to continue current services in 2027 and beyond. 2024 - 2026 Assessments: - “Class A” Properties, as defined in the BID Bylaws, shall be assessed annually assessment of $0.04/sf with no assessment to exceed $1,600. Contiguous properties with the same use and same owner shall be assessed as one property. Property lot size on record with the City Assessor shall be used in determining the square footage of properties. - “Class B” properties as defined in the BID Bylaws be assessed annually assessment of $0.02/sf with no assessment to exceed $1600. Contiguous properties with the same use and same owner shall be assessed as one property. Property lot size on record with the City Assessor shall be used in determining the square footage of properties. - Based on this assessment structure, approximately $21,334.04 will be expected to support services for businesses and property owners within the Lakeside BID during 2024-2026. - The assessment shall be placed on the 2024, 2025 and 2026 winter property tax bills. This is the final special assessment the BID is recommending. - The 2024-2026 Lakeside BID district, assessment rolls and collection methods were discussed at Lakeside BID Board meetings on April 12, 2023 and May 17, 2023. A resolution supporting the above recommendation was voted on at the May 17, 2023 Lakeside BID Board meeting. The vote result was as follows: 2024-26 BID Recommendation Vote: Member Yes No Abstention Motion/Support Absent Chair Mark Flermoen Melanie Lyonnais Ron Jenkins Louise Hopson Kathy Fearnley Dick Ghezzi Andrea Chambers Allen Serio Jonathan Seyferth Lakeside Business Improvement District Budget Recommendation & Explanation Date: May 17, 2023 To: Muskegon City Clerk/City Commission From: Lakeside Business Improvement District Board Budget Recommendation: This is a proposed budget for the Lakeside Business Improvement District for 2024-2026. Based on a two-tier assessment where “Class A” Properties pay $0.04/sf annually and “Class B” Properties pay $0.02/sf annually the Lakeside BID can expect to generate $21,334.04 during 2024.
