We are at a point now of making a final recommendation to the city commission. Any motion
would need to address these issues with your current consensus listed:
   1.   District boundaries: As shown on map
   2.   Special assessment timeframe: Three years 2024-2026
   3.   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. Gather the materials for the county’s Benefit Analysis and letter of certifying need.
   2. Put the documents into a renewal plan and make an initial presentation at a city
      commission work session.
   3. Establish two public hearings on the district and the tax roll for commission meetings in
      August and September.
   4. 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

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:
