IV. Bid Agenda Items
A. BID Financial Statement as of 11-30-25 - As of November 30, 2025, the fund balance is $3,172.19.
Posted expenses include: Fall Fest haybales, Special Events fee, and Shoreline Insurance. To note, a
transfer to the Communications account was duplicated but was reversed. The account is nearly whole,
with an upcoming second payment for snow removal requiring a transfer from the CIA. S. Wilson made
a motion to approve the Lakeside Business Improvement District financial statement. Supported by M.
Smith. Roll call was taken:
Aye: M. Lyonnais, M. Smith, L. Hopson, M. Flermoen, C. Castle, E. Bodman, S. Wilson
Nay: None
B. Placer AI report – The Placer AI report did not include foot traffic for the business within the district.
An updated report was presented to the board for review. Discussion only
C. Lakeside Façade Improvement Grant Program - Last month, staff presented three potential ways for
Lakeside to support businesses within the district. The board expressed interest in creating a facade
improvement program modeled after the DDA’s program. Staff has drafted a preliminary version of a
Lakeside facade improvement grant for the board to review. Staff is seeking direction on logistics,
funding levels, and whether the program should be administered under the CIA, given that the BID
expires in January 2027.
D. BID Budget 2026 Draft – Review of the 2026 Lakeside Bid Budget and includes the 2025 revenue
and expenses. L. Hopson motioned to approve the drafted BID budget for 2026. Supported by E.
Bodman. Roll call was taken:
Aye: M. Lyonnais, M. Smith, L. Hopson, M. Flermoen, C. Castle, E. Bodman, S. Wilson
Nay: None
E. 2026 Meeting Dates - At the board chair’s direction, staff reviewed the City Manager’s availability for
attending Lakeside BID/CIA meetings. Staff confirmed that 9 AM on Tuesdays works for the City
Manager, which would shift our regular meeting dates beginning in 2026. With that change, the next
meeting would fall on January 6, 2026, only two weeks after the upcoming meeting. Staff is not
anticipating a large January agenda, so the board may wish to discuss whether a meeting is needed.
Meeting dates are traditionally approved at the first meeting of the year, and staff has prepared a draft
2026 schedule for when the board is ready to review it. L. Hopson motioned to approve the 2026
meeting dates and canceling January. E. Bodman supported. Roll call was taken:
Aye: M. Lyonnais, M. Smith, L. Hopson, M. Flermoen, C. Castle, E. Bodman, S. Wilson

the upcoming snow removal and second payment due by December 31, a transfer from the CIA
account of $11,500 will float the BID account until special assessments in the spring. M. Smith

November 30, 2025 and initiate the transfer from CIA to the BID in the amount of $11,500.

Brief Summary:
Staff received two bids for the Lakeshore Drive Landscaping RFP and is seeking the board’s direction
on next steps.
Detailed Summary & Background:
At the request of the Lakeside Board and Chair, staff explored landscaping enhancement options for
the Lakeshore Drive corridor. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for the installation and maintenance of 20
corridor planters was issued in December. Staff received responses in January from Advantage
Landscaping & Turf Management and Barry’s Greenhouses and Landscaping. The bids are being
presented for board review and direction on next steps.
Barry’s base pricing includes large pots at $25 each, with an estimated $3,000 upgrade cost for
higher-tier planter options. Barry’s total bid for furnishing and maintaining 20 planters is $6,525. Staff is
currently seeking clarification on which planter units would require the upgrade.
Advantage’s proposal includes 38-inch extra-large planters at $850 per pot, with seasonal planting
and watering services at $1,700 per planter. Advantage’s total bid for 20 planters is $51,000.

Introduction
Page 15 of 49
The City of Muskegon’s Economic Development Department on behalf of the Lakeside Business
Improvement District and Corridor Improvement Authority is seeking quotes from qualified
landscaping vendors for seasonal decorative planters along Lakeshore Drive within the Lakeside
Business District. A map is linked and attached with the locations of the planters pinned.
The BID/CIA is exploring options and gathering cost information. While there are roughly 20
potential planter locations identified, the final number purchased may be significantly lower
depending on pricing, durability, and available budget. Submission of a quote does not guarantee
award, and the BID/CIA may choose to scale the project up, scale it down, or not move forward.
Scope of Quote
Vendors are asked to provide a comprehensive quote that includes:
1. Planter Options
a. Images of proposed planter models
b. Material, size, and color options
c. Unit pricing
d. Notes of durability for year-round outdoor exposure
e. Suitability for remaining outdoors during winter months
2. Planting Options
a. Recommended plant species for the summer season (Memorial Day – Labor Day)
b. Cost per fully planted planter
c. Optional perennial or low-maintenance layouts
3. Installation
a. Delivery timeline
b. Cost per planter for installation
c. Any site preparation requirements
d. Recommendations for placement, longevity, irrigation considerations, and long-
term care
4. Seasonal Maintenance (Summer Season Only)
a. Watering schedule and frequency
b. Dead plant replacement and cost
Non-Permanent / Removable Planter Options (Snowplow Consideration)
Lakeshore Drive sidewalks are regularly snowplowed during the winter. The BID/CIA may need
to temporarily remove or relocate planters to prevent damage. Vendors are encouraged to
propose:
• Non-permanent, movable, or modular planter options
• Notes on ease of seasonal relocation
• Any labor or equipment needed for removal
• Cost differences between permanent and non-permanent models
Page 16 of 49
Please clearly label whether each planter option is permanent or removable.
Vendor Requirements
Quotes must include:
• Business name, address, primary contact
• Examples/photos of similar work
• Proposed timeline

• Any warranties on materials or installation
• Itemized cost breakdown

FACADE IMPROVEMENT GRANT
2026 - 2027

City of Muskegon – Lakeside CIA
2026-27 Façade Improvement Grant Program Guidelines
Goal:
To upgrade the look and function of commercial buildings within the Lakeside Corridor Improvement
Authority (CIA) by encouraging tenant businesses or building owners to make exterior improvements. Such
improvements will enhance the individual property’s value; and uplift the block in which the property is
located and the overall district.
Available Funding:
The Lakeside CIA has budgeted $10,000 for the 2026-27 fiscal year, to be available to applicants on a first-
come, first-serve basis. The number of grants will be limited by the budgeted amount.
Terms:
The Building Façade Improvement Grants are for up to $2,500, with an applicant match of one to one. Thus, a
$1,000 grant would need to have the applicant propose a project of at least $2,000. This is a reimbursement-
oriented program to ensure that proposed work is done appropriately and consistent with the character of
the Lakeside business district.
Eligibility:
• Applicant must be a business or commercial building owner located within the Lakeside business
district. Leaseholder businesses must receive the written permission of the building owner.
• The building must be an existing commercial structure at the sidewalk level, but can be mixed-use on
the floors above. Grants can assist redevelopment, remodeling or renovations to existing commercial
buildings but are not for new buildings.
• All city taxes and other city accounts must be current.
• All work must be done in compliance with all city regulations and ordinances, including obtaining
necessary building permits and the approval of the Historic District Commission when applicable.
• All work must be done by a licensed contractor.
• All changes in access to a building must strictly comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities
Act.
• Work receiving grant funding must not begin until a grant is awarded and work must be completed in
12 months. The applicant can request a 6-month extension in writing if the project is not completed
within 12 months of the approval date.
• Properties or businesses that receive Façade Improvement Grant funding are eligible to apply again
after a three-year period.
Eligible Costs:
The Lakeside CIA board will have the final decision on the eligibility of any items receiving grant funding.
Improvements must be to the exterior of the building and may include:
Exterior walls, windows, doors, exterior brick staining, cleaning or tuck-pointing of masonry or
stone, ADA improvements to exits and entrances, awnings, decorative signs improving the
aesthetics of the building, exterior lighting for safety and aesthetics and unique exterior
architectural features
Page 44 of 49
Exterior Brick Staining:
This item is eligible only if there is noticeable paint deterioration present. Proof must be provided with your
application.
Ineligible Costs:
Among other items, grants are not available for:
Property acquisition, site plans, building fees, appraisal or attorney fees, business equipment taxed as
personal property, wages associated with the project paid the applicant or applicant’s relatives,
parking lots and landscaping. (Although parking lot improvements and landscaping are encouraged,
they are not grant eligible.)
Application Process:
• Provide a brief statement of intent demonstrating the need for financial assistance; how the project
will improve the building, its block and the district; and a commitment to future property maintenance.
• Provide a description of the proposed project, submitting photos of the existing building and if
available drawings of the improvement.
• Provide detailed cost estimates with at least two competitive quotes from licensed contractors and
their suppliers.
• Provide a timeline for commencing the project and its completion.
• Provide evidence of financial ability to complete the project with the understanding that the grant
funds will only be disbursed upon completion of the project.
Review/Approval Process:
Applications received in the City of Muskegon’s Development Services Division Office (Muskegon City Hall, 933
Terrace St, Room 202) will be reviewed by city staff. Grants must receive final approval by the Lakeside CIA
board.
All reviews will consider the grant program goals, along with the long-term economic development benefits to
the Lakeside business district and the enhancement of the architectural appeal of the applicant building.
Changes in project scope or design must be Lakeside BID/CIA approved for final reimbursement. If approved,
City staff will request an update on each project after 6 months of the approval date.
Project Reimbursement:
Upon completion of the project, grant recipient must submit final invoices marked as paid along with copies
of grant recipient proof of payment to the contractors and/or suppliers.
Program Authority:
The Lakeside CIA board has final decisions on all matters related to the Building Façade Improvement Grant
Program. Any decision by the Lakeside CIA board is final.
