Assessor’s Office Move.
Muskegon County has approached the City of Muskegon asking that the city’s assessing office

staff.

used as a driveway for trucks to access the loading dock area at the side of their

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The construction cost of $105,584.25 plus engineering cost which
is estimated at an additional 15%.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: This project was budgeted at $85,000 thus the budget

but with a smaller pump motor, 15hp instead of the 25hp. The 15hp motor will
adequately irrigate Evergreen Cemetery. The only additional cost will be to upgrade
the electric service at Evergreen Cemetery from a 100 amp service to a 200 amp
service to accommodate the new well pump for an estimated cost of $2,000.

fire engine. The engine would be a standard front-line engine which would replace

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds for this purchase would be drawn from the City’s Public
Improvement Fund.

RE:        Gaming License Request

Foundation is requesting a resolution recognizing them as a non-profit

RE: Paying Agent Services


SUMMARY OF REQUEST: When the City issues bonds, it hires a “paying agent”
bank to do the recordkeeping and process principal/interest payments to bondholders over
the life of the issue. This has become a niche market and only a couple of banks currently
offer this service in the Midwest. We recently looked into consolidating our bond issues at a
single bank and, in the process, were offered an extraordinary deal by Bank of New York.
BONY is willing to perform paying agent services for an annual fee of $100/issue ($75/issue if
paid in advance). We had been considering consolidating at US Bank in conjunction with
Muskegon County for a fee of $300/issue. In further discussions with US Bank, it was clear
that they were not prepared to match BONY’s proposal.
                                                                                                                                              Proposed  Proposed Fees
