DDA Agenda Item VI.A



                        Muskegon Downtown Development Authority
                               Agenda Item VI-A for 1-9-24

                    Acceptance of Financial Statement December 31, 2023




Requesting party: City Economic Development

Outline of the request: Staff is asking the DDA board to review and accept the financial
statements for December 31, 2023.

Staff comments:

There has not been a significant change in the status of the DDA financials since the December
meeting.

The statements have been added to the agenda packet.

Looking at the DDA report, several significant financial events will happen in the third and
fourth quarters of the 2023-24 fiscal year prior to June 30, 2024. The tax increment income has
yet to be posted and is anticipated at $480,000, $80,000 more than initially budgeted. At the
same time, the budgeted $80,000 in revenues for the end of the Business Improvement District
will not materialize. Those two financial events should cancel each other to have a minimal
impact on the year-end fund balance. Finally, the $130,000 expenditure Trinity Health Arena
bond payment will be posted later in the fiscal year.

The events financial statement will inform agenda item VI-B.

Staff recommendation: To accept the December 31, 2023 DDA and events financial statements.

Suggested motion: I move to accept the December 31, 2023 DDA and events financial
statements.

                     Fa~ade Grant applications for The Leonard Building
                               And West Side Art Collective




Requesting party: City economic development

Outline of the request: Staff has received two applications for DDA fa<;ade grants that need
DDA approval because they are more than $10,000. One is for The Leonard (292 W. Western
Ave) and one for the West Side Art Collective (238 Houston).

Staff comments:

The applications are attached, an historic-looking blade-type exterior sign for The Leonard and
exterior siding for a building damaged in a 2019 fire at 238 Houston. The review committee of
city staff and a DDA member have reviewed the applications and have provided its approval for
the DDA board's final decision. The fa<;ade improvement grant fund has sufficient resources to
fund both applications.

Staff recommendation: To approve both the Leonard and West Side Art Collective fa<;ade grant
applications.

Suggested motions:

I move to approve Corey Leonard's request for $15,000 in a fa<;ade improvement grant.

I move to approve the West Side Art Collective LLC request for $15,000 in a fa<;ade
improvement grant.

 Statement of Intent/Need for Funding:
 I wanted to do a internally lit Blade Type Sign similar to the Frauenthal and Amazon Building.
 Carrying through that old school look in my end of town will help give visual continuity to Western
 Ave. Corridor. Hopefully it will inspire other building owners to do the same. The cost is substantial
 so The $15,000 would help this be feasible to do.

 Description of Project-Attach: Photos, Project Plans & 2 Competitive Bids:
 36"w x 412"h Blade Sign with individual internally lit letters. Each Letter will also be halo lit.




 Project Timeline/Estimated Completion Date:
Completion By June of 2024 pending DOA approval.

maintenance and certifies the ability to fund the project to completion before grant funds
reimbursements are made.

 Statement of Intent/Need for Funding:
We intend to use the funds to install siding for the first and second floor of the building (entire building). The building
was damaged from fire in 2019 and since then we have financed the entire project without a financial institution or
private money lenders, but from funds we make by liquidating our other assets and savings. We are at a point now
where we need financial support to complete the project. The facade grant will greatly help in reaching that goal;
allowing us to complete the project, and more importantly, give the neighborhood a beautifully refurbuished building to
look at and use.

 Description of Project..Attach: Photos, Project Plans & 2 Competitive Bids:
Please see attached architectural drawings and quotes. We have selected EAS Contractors for
the work.




 Project Timeline/Estimated Completion Date:
Our estimated start date is January of 2024 and estimated completion date is February 2024




 By signing the grant application, if awarded, applicant commits to future property
 maintenance and certifies the ability to fund the project to completion before grant funds
 reimbursements are made.
