MOTION PASSES
2006-10 NEW BUSINESS:
A. FIRST READING: 2006 Parking Fine Adjustments. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff proposes the following changes to the City's
Parking Ordinance:
• Increase in the fine for launching a boat without a permit. The current fine
is $17.50 and the cost of a daily permit is $10.00. Some boaters may feel
the $7.50 additional cost is sufficiently low to make it worth the risk of
launching without a permit. Staff believes that considerable revenue is
being lost because of this. We propose increasing the base fine to the
cost of an annual launch ramp permit ($55.00)
• Increase the base handicap violation fine from $50.00 to $100.00. This will
improve handicap parking compliance. The current $50.00 fine is at the
low end of the range of fines assessed by area communities:
o Grand Haven $50.00
o Grand Rapids $75.00
o Holland $52.00
o Kentwood $100.00
o Norton Shores $50.00
o Walker $100.00
o Wyoming $1 00.00
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Increased compliance with launch ramp permit
requirements will increase revenues to the city's Marina & Launch Ramp fund.
Increased compliance with handicap parking regulations will result from the
increase in this fine category.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the recommended increases in parking
fines for boat launch and handicap parking violations.
Motion by Vice Mayor Gawron, second by Commissioner Davis to approve the
increases in parking fines for boat launch and handicap parking violations.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Spataro, Warmington, Wierengo, Carter, Davis, Gawron, and
Shepherd
Nays: None
MOTION PASSES

services that the Muskegon Police Department will provide as a member of this
collaborative effort. This agreement will be administered within the provisions of
the policies and procedures set forth by the Weed and Seed Steering
Committee and the United States Department of Justice.

Memo
To: Bob Kuhn
From: Dan Gomez
Cc: Doug Sayles
Date: 01-12-06
Re: Sign Materials & Services: Annual Contract
Again this year we are requesting permission to bid jointly for our sign materials and services with the
Muskegon County Road Commission as we have done the last sixteen years. They are getting ready
to go out for bids on the following items and thus we do not have any actual quotes for 2006.
For sign blanks:
2002 2003 2004 2005
sign blanks -7 $1.40/sq. ft. $1.34/sq. It $1.56/sq. It $1.85/sq. It
For sign posts:
2002 2003 2004 2005
2# x 11' posts -7 $ 6.15/ea. $6.08/ea. $9.24/ea. $10.10
3# x 12' posts -7 $10.08/ea. $9.96/ea. $15.12/ea. $16.53
Steel prices shot up in 2004 52%, considerably increasing cost for sign posts and some
increase in aluminum sign blanks. They tapered off in 2005 with a marginal increase.
For sheeting: Our standard has always been 3M sheeting, they are the only bid usually received by
MCRC, they like us, use 3M sheeting exclusively, however we recently purchased our 3M roller, as did
MCRC, and no longer have to buy a minimum order to keep the roller they originally gave to us to
maintain the warranty on their sheeting. Other competitive sources are also bidded out.
Finished Signs: Most finished signs were purchased through competitive venders, but MCRC is
starting to purchase these signs in the bid system for a considerable savings. We have purchased
some signs this way the last three years and will continue to do so when purchasing in quantities.
• Page 1
Centerline painting: Before 1997, we contracted with the MCRC for this work. In 1997 they sold their
equipment and we jointly bid with all other cities and townships in the County. In 1997 M&M Pavement
Marking, Inc. was awarded the bid and has since been extended the contract every year since at the
same unit prices up until 2004 when a 6% increased incurred to cover rising fuel and material costs.
Our overall cost since 1998 has been higher because we painted over significant amounts of faded
permanent pavement marking and decided not to put down as much PPM after new construction.
Painting the roads is cheaper and looks more uniform and avoids skipping around these areas to paint.
2002 2003 2004 2005

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
Forest Ave., Davis to Ruddiman
The construction of a new curb & gutter street on Forest Ave. Davis & Ruddiman was proposed
on the adopted 2006 CIP by sta!T in an effort to incorporate the established goal of eliminating
gravel streets fi'Om the City's street system into our proposed work. Additional criteria for the
selection were:
I. The need to reduce maintenance cost associated with the upkeep of thin surface coat of
asphalt
2. Enhance the appearance of that area
3. improve the drainage facility
The combination of the above reasons makes the selection of this street for improvements an
ideal one.
A memorandum from the Assessor's office, which addresses appraisal and benefits to abutting
properties, is attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is $60,000 with the length of
the project being approximately 285 lineal feet (project length) or 296.5'of assessable footage.
This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $202.00 per assessable foot. The
assessment figure will be at a cost not to exceed $32.00 per assessable foot as established in the
2006 Special Assessment Rates for this type of improvement

I Mr. AI-Shatel:
In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment
I district entailing the new construction of Forest Ave between Montgomery Street and
Davis Street. The purpose of this analysis is to document the reasonableness of this
special assessment district by identifying and quantifying any accrued benefits. It is
I subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power and
eminent domain. The effective date is January 9, 2006.
I In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this
project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated value enhancement
'
and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in property values due
to an improved quality oflife created by the proposed project. As previously
presented, the proposed special assessment district encompasses primarily residential
I properties. The front foot rate of$32.00 for the new construction of the above
mentioned project area appears reasonable in light of an analysis that indicates a
possible enhancement of $33.00. The conclusions are based upon the data presented
I within this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my
files.
Sincerely,
II

The City of Muskegon is asking for your support for improvement of the street adjoining your
property located at PROPERTY ADDRESS.
The City of Muskegon believes that by making the proposed street improvements you will
have less road noise, dust, and wear and tear on your vehicle. In addition, street
improvements provide easier access for delivery of services such as snow plowing, mail
delivery, and bus service.
Called a special assessment district, the largest percentage of the proposed street
improvement will be paid for by the City of Muskegon (via local funds and or grants); however,
it will be necessary for you to cover a share of the cost (which you can spread over a period of
ten years) based on the amount of property you own bordering the street. A description of the
project, including the associated cost to you and the City, is located in the documents
attached to this letter.
While the City of Muskegon believes that the proposed improvements will result in a safer and
cleaner street while adding curb appeal to your property, you do have the right to ask further
questions or protest participation in this particular project. Please carefully review the
enclosed materials and call the City's Engineering Department at 724-6707 if you require
more information.
A public hearing is also scheduled for this project on JANUARY 24, 2006. If you attend this
public hearing you will be given an opportunity to make comments on the proposed special
assessment district to the commission.
Also located in this packet of materials is a Special Assessment Hearing Response Card. If
mailed back to the City of Muskegon City Clerk's Office before the scheduled public hearing
your vote will be added to the tabulation of votes during the public hearing. If you do not send
in this form your vote counts as "in favor" of the project.
Thank you for your participation in improving the quality of life in the Muskegon community.

NOTICE OF HEARING ON SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
Dear Property Owner:
The Muskegon City Commission is considering whether or not to create a special

FOREST AVE .. RUDDIMAN ST. TO DAVIS ST.
The proposed special assessment district will be located as follows:
All parcels abutting Forest Ave. from Ruddiman St. to Davis St.
It is proposed that a portion of the above improvement will be paid by special

estimated cost of the assessment. You may also appear, as above, in lieu of, or in

appearances must be made at or prior to the hearing. NOTE: THE SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT WILL BE CREATED OR NULLIFIED AT THIS HEARING. IT IS

OPINION COUNTED FOR THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT.
A second public hearing will be held, if the district is created, to confirm the special
assessment roll after the project is completed. You will be mailed a separate notice for
the second hearing. At this second hearing the special assessment costs will be spread
on the affected properties accordingly. YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT YOU
HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTEST YOUR ASSESSMENT AMOUNT AGAINST YOUR

UNLESS YOU PROTEST AT THE INITIAL HEARING OR AT THE SECOND HEARING
CONFIRMING THE ROLL, EITHER IN PERSON, BY AGENT, OR IN WRITING
BEFORE OR AT THE HEARING, YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL TO THE MICHIGAN TAX
TRIBUNAL WILL BE LOST.
By City Charter, if the owners of more than one-half of the properties to be assessed
shall object to the assessment in writing at or before the hearing, the improvement shall
not be made unless the City Commission determines by affirmative vote of all its
members that the safety or health of the public necessitates the improvement.
Estimated Costs
The total estimated cost of the street portion of the project is $60,000.00 of which
approximately 15.81% ($9,488.00) will be paid by special assessment to property
owners. Your property's estimated share of the special assessment is shown on the
attached hearing response card. The remaining costs will be paid by the City.
The street assessment, which covers improvements to the roadway, may be paid in
installments over a period of up to ten (10) years. Any work on drive approaches or
sidewalks will be assessed to the property at actual contract prices and these costs may
also be paid in installments over ten (10) years. Please note this work is in addition to
the street special assessment.
Please refer to the enclosed sheet entitled Special Assessment Payment Options for

Special Assessment Payment Options
Property owners in the City of Muskegon who are being specially assessed for street, sidewalk or other public
improvements may pay their assessment in the following ways:
I. Lump Sum Payment in Full
Assessments may be paid in full within sixty (60) days of the confirmation of the special assessment roll
without interest.
II. Installment Pavments
Assessments not paid within the first sixty (60) days may be paid in installments over several years as follows:
Street and Alley Assessments- Ten (1 0) years equal annual principal payments. For example, if the
amount of your assessment is $850.00, you will be billed $85.00 per year plus applicable interest as
described below.
Driveway, Sidewalk, and Approach Assessments- Ten (1 0) years equal annual principal payments
plus applicable interest as described below.
Interest- Simple interest is charged at the rate of 5.00% per year unless the City has borrowed money
to complete the project for which you are assessed and has pledged you assessments for repayment of
the borrowed money. In such cases, the interest you are charged is equal to the interest rate the City
must pay on the borrowed money plus 1.00%.
Ill. Special Assessment Deferral (Low Income Seniors and Disabled Persons)
To qualify for a special assessment deferral you or your spouse (if jointly owned) must:
• Be 65 years or older or be totally or permanently disabled.

property in favor of the State of Michigan. Repayment to the State must be made at the time the property is
sold or transferred or after the death of the owner(s). During the time the special assessment is deferred

after the improvements have been made. The City Commission determines that the
assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the value of the properties to be
assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the improvement
thereby constitutes a benefit to the property.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The City Commission hereby declares a special assessment district to include the
property set forth in Exhibit A attached to this resolution.
2. The City Commission determines to proceed with the improvements as set forth in the
feasibility study and estimates of costs, and directs the City Engineer to proceed with
project design, preparation of specifications and the bidding process. If appropriate and
if bonds are to be sold for the purposes of financing the improvements, the Finance
Department shall prepare plans for financing including submission of application to the
Michigan Department of Treasury and the beginning of bond proceedings.
3. The City Commission hereby appoints a Board of Assessors consisting of City
Commissioners Spataro and ----=G.:c.:.a...:;.w~ro.::..:n:..::..___ _ _ __ _
and the City Assessor who are hereby directed to prepare an assessment roll.
Assessments shall be made upon front foot basis.
4. Based on the City's Special Assessment policy and preliminary estimates it is expected
that approximately 16.57% of the cost of the street improvement will be paid by special
assessments.
5. Upon submission of the special assessment roll, the City staff is hereby directed to notify
all owners and persons interested in properties to be assessed of the hearing at which the
City Commission will consider confirmation of the special assessment roll.

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
Montgomery St., Laketon Ave. to Sonthern Ave.
The reconstruction of Southern between Laketon & Southern, see attached exhibit for location,
was initiated by the City and approved for over $315,000 of federal funds due to the conditions
of the pavement, drainage facilities and other underground utilities (water & sewer) as well as
it's designation as a collector street. The existing pavement has deteriorated to a level where, we
believe, a total reconstruction is necessary. This section of road has not had, to the best of our
records, any major work since 1957 when it was resurfaced. The proposed improvements
(reconstruction) consist of following;
I. Complete removal of existing pavement and replace with a new asphalt street section that
would include curb & gutter and a proposed width of 32' back to back.
2. Sanitary sewer replacement- spot repairs.
3. Water & Sanitary Services replacement.
4. Storm sewer replacement (drainage facilities)
5. Restrict on street-parking to the westerly side of the street to meet the act-51 requirements.
A memo from the Assessor's office, which addresses the appraisal and benefit information, is
attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is $545,777 with the length of
the project being approximately 2066lineal feet (project length) or 2898'of assessable footage.
This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $188 per assessable foot. The assessment
figure will be at a cost not to exceed $32.00 per assessable foot as established in the 2006 Special
Assessment Rates for this type of improvement

Mr. Al-Shatel:
In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment
district entailing the reconstruction of Montgomery Ave between Laketon Ave and
Southern Avenue. The purpose of this analysis is to document the reasonableness of
this special assessment district by identifying and quantifYing any accrued benefits. It
is subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power
and eminent domain. The effective date is January 91h 2006.
h1 conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this
project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated value enhancement
and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in property values due
to an improved quality oflife created by the proposed project. As previously
presented, the proposed special assessment district encompasses primarily residential
properties. The front foot rate of$32.00 for the reconstruction of the above
mentioned project area appears reasonable in light of an analysis that indicates a
possible enhancement of $35.00. The conclusions are based upon the data presented
within this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my
files.
Sincerely,

The City of Muskegon is asking for your support for improvement of the street adjoining your
property located at PROPERTY ADDRESS.
The City of Muskegon believes that by making the proposed street improvements you will
have less road noise, dust, and wear and tear on your vehicle. In addition, street
improvements provide easier access for delivery of services such as snow plowing, mail
delivery, and bus service.
Called a special assessment district, the largest percentage of the proposed street
improvement will be paid for by the City of Muskegon (via local funds and or grants); however,
it will be necessary for you to cover a share of the cost (which you can spread over a period of
ten years) based on the amount of property you own bordering the street. A description of the
project, including the associated cost to you and the City, is located in the documents
attached to this letter.
While the City of Muskegon believes that the proposed improvements will result in a safer and
cleaner street while adding curb appeal to your property, you do have the right to ask further
questions or protest participation in this particular project. Please carefully review the
enclosed materials and call the City's Engineering Department at 724-6707 if you require
more information.
A public hearing is also scheduled for this project on JANUARY 24, 2006. If you attend this
public hearing you will be given an opportunity to make comments on the proposed special
assessment district to the commission.
Also located in this packet of materials is a Special Assessment Hearing Response Card. If
mailed back to the City of Muskegon City Clerk's Office before the scheduled public hearing
your vote will be added to the tabulation of votes during the public hearing. If you do not send
in this form your vote counts as "in favor" of the project.
Thank you for your participation in improving the quality of life in the Muskegon community.

NOTICE OF HEARING ON SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
Dear Property Owner:
The Muskegon City Commission is considering whether or not to create a special
assessment district which would assess your property for the following paving project:
MONTGOMERY ST., LAKETON AVE. TO SOUTHERN AVE.
The proposed special assessment district will be located as follows:
All parcels abutting Montgomery St. from Laketon Ave. to Southern Ave.
It is proposed that a portion of the above improvement will be paid by special
assessment against properties in the aforementioned district. Following are conditions
of the proposed special assessment which are important to you.
Public Hearings
An initial public hearing to consider the creation of a special assessment district will be
held at the City of Muskegon City Commission Chambers on JANUARY 24, 2006 at
5:30P.M. You are encouraged to appear at this hearing, either in person, by agent or
in writing to express your opinion, approval, or objection concerning the proposed
special assessment. We are enclosing a Hearing Response Card for you to indicate
your agreement or opposition to the special assessment. This card includes the
property identification and description, assessable footage per City policy, and the
estimated cost of the assessment. You may also appear, as above, in lieu of, or in
addition to mailing your response card to the City Clerk. Written objections or
appearances must be made at or prior to the hearing. NOTE: THE SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT WILL BE CREATED OR NULLIFIED AT THIS HEARING. IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO COMMENT AT THIS HEARING IF YOU WANT YOUR
OPINION COUNTED FOR THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT.
A second public hearing will be held, if the district is created, to confirm the special
assessment roll after the project is completed. You will be mailed a separate notice for
the second hearing. At this second hearing the special assessment costs will be spread
on the affected properties accordingly. YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT YOU
HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTEST YOUR ASSESSMENT AMOUNT AGAINST YOUR
PARCEL EITHER IN WRITING OR IN PERSON AT THIS HEARING. IF THE SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT ROLL IS CONFIRMED AT THE SECOND HEARING, YOU WILL HAVE
THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF CONFIRMATION OF THE ROLL TO FILE A
WRITTEN APPEAL WITH THE MICHIGAN STATE TAX TRIBUNAL. HOWEVER,
UNLESS YOU PROTEST AT THE INITIAL HEARING OR AT THE SECOND HEARING
CONFIRMING THE ROLL, EITHER IN PERSON, BY AGENT, OR IN WRITING
BEFORE OR AT THE HEARING, YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL TO THE MICHIGAN TAX
TRIBUNAL WILL BE LOST.
By City Charter, if the owners of more than one-half of the properties to be assessed
shall object to the assessment in writing at or before the hearing, the improvement shall
not be made unless the City Commission determines by affirmative vote of all its
members that the safety or health of the public necessitates the improvement.
Estimated Costs
The total estimated cost of the street portion of the project is $545,777.00 of which
approximately 16.99% ($92,736.00) will be paid by special assessment to property
owners. Your property's estimated share of the special assessment is shown on the
attached hearing response card. The remaining costs will be paid by the City.
The street assessment, which covers improvements to the roadway, may be paid in
installments over a period of up to ten (10) years. Any work on drive approaches or
sidewalks will be assessed to the property at actual contract prices and these costs may
also be paid in installments over ten (10) years. Please note this work is in addition to
the street special assessment.
Please refer to the enclosed sheet entitled Special Assessment Payment Options for
more information on the payment options and financial assistance programs available.
I urge you to return the enclosed hearing response card indicating your preference and

improvements may pay their assessment in the following ways:
I. Lump Sum Payment in Full
Assessments may be paid in full within sixty (60) days of the confirmation of the special assessment roll
without interest.
II. Installment Payments
Assessments not paid within the first sixty (60) days may be paid in installments over several years as follows:
Street and Alley Assessments- Ten (1 0) years equal annual principal payments. For example, if the

described below.
Driveway, Sidewalk, and Approach Assessments- Ten (10) years equal annual principal payments
plus applicable interest as described below.
Interest- Simple interest is charged at the rate of 5.00% per year unless the City has borrowed money
to complete the project for which you are assessed and has pledged you assessments for repayment of
the borrowed money. In such cases, the interest you are charged is equal to the interest rate the City
must pay on the borrowed money plus 1.00%.
Ill. Special Assessment Deferral (Low Income Seniors and Disabled Persons)
To qualify for a special assessment deferral you or your spouse {if jointly owned) must:

RE: Montgomery Road Project
Date: January 16, 2006
Dear City Commissioners and Honorable Mayor Warmington:
I support the city's efforts in upgrading streets, sewers, and water lines. Upgrades are critical to
maintaining our quality of life in Muskegon. However, in the city's latest efforts with the
Montgomery road project I find myself somewhat perplexed. In speaking with a number of
Montgomery neighbors we share many of the same concerns which include:
• Speed control
• Lack of adequate parking space
• Widening of the street/ impact on the trees
• Ruddiman/Montgomery Street traffic circle
I am voting "no" on this project, because these issues need to be discussed with area residents
prior to city commission approval of this project, in spite of the fact that there is up to $315,000 of
grant funds for the road work.
Unfortunately, I will be out of town on January 24th 2006. I am asking that my letter be read as
part of the public hearing.
Sincerely •. __

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
SIXTH STREET FROM HOUSTON TO MUSKEGON
The reconstruction of Sixth Street between Houston Ave. & Muskegon Ave., see attached
location map, was initiated by the City Commission due to the conditions which has deteriorated
to a level where other type of improvements are applicable. The improvement being proposed
consists of a complete removal of all existing pavements including curb and gutter and the
placement of a new street pavement that will include a new curb and gutter.
A memo fi·om the Assessor's office, which addresses the appraisal and benefit information is
attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $99,000 with
the length of the project being approximately 284 lineal feet or 311.50 of assessable front
footage. This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $317 per assessable foot. The
assessment tigure will be at a cost not to exceed $32.00 per front foot.

Mohammed Al-Shatel, City Engineer

Muskegon,MI49443
Mr. Al-Shatel:
In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment
district entailing the reconstruction of Sixth Street between Muskegon Avenue and
Houston Avenue. The purpose of this analysis is to document the reasonableness of
this special assessment district by identifying and quantifying any accrued benefits. It
is subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power
and eminent domain. The effective date is Janumy 9 111 , 2006.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this
project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated value enhancement
and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in prope1ty values due
to an improved quality of life created by the proposed project. As previously
presented, the proposed special assessment district encompasses primarily residential
properties. The front foot rate of$32.00 for the new construction of the above
mentioned project area appears reasonable in light of an analysis that indicates a
possible enhancement of $32.96. The conclusions arc based upon the data presented
within this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my
files.
Sincerely,

The City of Muskegon is asking for your support for improvement of the street adjoining your
property located at PROPERTY ADDRESS.
The City of Muskegon believes that by making the proposed street improvements you will
have less road noise, dust, and wear and tear on your vehicle. In addition, street
improvements provide easier access for delivery of services such as snow plowing, mail
delivery, and bus service.
Called a special assessment district, the largest percentage of the proposed street
improvement will be paid for by the City of Muskegon (via local funds and or grants); however,
it will be necessary for you to cover a share of the cost (which you can spread over a period of
ten years) based on the amount of property you own bordering the street. A description of the
project, including the associated cost to you and the City, is located in the documents
attached to this letter.
While the City of Muskegon believes that the proposed improvements will result in a safer and
cleaner street while adding curb appeal to your property, you do have the right to ask further
questions or protest participation in this particular project. Please carefully review the
enclosed materials and call the City's Engineering Department at 724-6707 if you require
more information.
A public hearing is also scheduled for this project on JANUARY 24, 2006. If you attend this
public hearing you will be given an opportunity to make comments on the proposed special
assessment district to the commission.
Also located in this packet of materials is a Special Assessment Hearing Response Card. If
mailed back to the City of Muskegon City Clerk's Office before the scheduled public hearing
your vote will be added to the tabulation of votes during the public hearing. If you do not send
in this form your vote counts as "in favor" of the project.
Thank you for your participation in improving the quality of life in the Muskegon community.

The final projected cost of the street improvement portion of the project is $530,487.00 of which
$98,204.80 will be paid by special assessment. If the special assessment is confirmed, your property will
be assessed $2400 based on 75 feet assessable front footage at $32 per assessable foot for the street
improvements. In addition, you will be assessed $0 for driveway approach and/or sidewalk
improvements made to your property for a total special assessment cost of $2400 Following are the
terms of the special assessment:
Assessment Period: Ten (10) Years
Interest Rate: 5% per year
First Installment: $240 PER YEAR
Due Date: March 24'", 2006
The total assessment may be paid in full any time prior to the due date shown above

I. Lump Sum Pavment in Full
Assessments may be paid in full within sixty (60) days of the confirmation of the special assessment roll
without interest.

Assessments not paid within the first sixty (60) days may be paid in installments over several years as follows:
Street and Alley Assessments- Ten (1 0) years equal annual principal payments. For example, if the
amount of your assessment is $850.00, you will be billed $85.00 per year plus applicable interest as
described below.
Driveway, Sidewalk, and Approach Assessments- Ten (1 0) years equal annual principal payments
plus applicable interest as described below.
Interest- Simple interest is charged at the rate of 5.00% per year unless the City has borrowed money
to complete the project for which you are assessed and has pledged you assessments for repayment of
the borrowed money. In such cases, the interest you are charged is equal to the interest rate the City
must pay on the borrowed money plus 1.00%.
Ill. Special Assessment Deferral (Low Income Seniors and Disabled Persons)

Resolution At First Hearing Creating Special Assessment District
For Southern Ave., Sixth St. to Seaway Dr.
Location and Description of Properties to be Assessed:
See Exhibit A attached to this resolution
RECITALS:
1. A hearing has been held on January 25, 2005 at 5:30 o'clock p.m. at the City
Commission Chambers. Notice was given by mail and publication as required by
law.
2. That estimates of costs of the project, a feasibility report and valuation and benefit
information are on file with the City and have been reviewed for this hearing.
3. At the hearing held January 25, 2005, there were 22.69% objections by the owners of
the property in the district registered at the hearing either in writing received before or at
the hearing or by owners or agents present at the hearing, and the Commission has
considered the advisability of proceeding with the project.
FINDINGS:
1. The City Commission has examined the estimates of cost to construct the project
including all assessable expenses and determines them to be reasonable.
2. The City Commission has considered the value of the property to be assessed and the
value of the benefit to be received by each property proposed to be assessed in the district
after the improvements have been made. The City Commission determines that the
assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the value of the properties to be
assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the improvement
thereby constitutes a benefit to the property.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The City Commission hereby declares a special assessment district to include the
property set forth in Exhibit A attached to this resolution.
2. The City Commission determines to proceed with the improvements as set forth in the
feasibility study and estimates of costs, and directs the City Engineer to proceed with
project design, preparation of specifications and the bidding process. If appropriate and
if bonds are to be sold for the purposes of financing the improvements, the Finance
Department shall prepare plans for financing including submission of application to the
Michigan Department of Treasury and the beginning of bond proceedings.
3. The City Commission hereby appoints a Board of Assessors consisting of City
Commissioners Spataro and Shepherd and the City Assessor who are hereby directed to
prepare an assessment roll. Assessments shall be made upon front foot basis.
4. Based on the City's Special Assessment policy and preliminary estimates it is expected
that approximately 16.57% of the cost of the street improvement will be paid by special
assessments.
5. Upon submission of the special assessment roll, the City staff is hereby directed to notify
all owners and persons interested in properties to be assessed of the hearing at which the
City Commission will consider confirmation of the special assessment roll.
This resolution adopted.

RE: 2006 Parking Fine Adjustments
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff proposes the following changes to the City's
Parking Ordinance:
• Increase in the fine for launching a boat without a permit. The current fine is
$17.50 and the cost of a daily permit is $10.00. Some boaters may feel the
$7.50 additional cost is sufficiently low to make it worth the risk of launching
without a permit. Staff believes that considerable revenue is being lost
because of this. We propose increasing the base fine to the cost of an annual
launch ramp permit ($55.00)
• Increase the base handicap violation fine from $50.00 to $100.00. This will
improve handicap parking compliance. The current $50.00 fine is at the low
end of the range of fines assessed by area communities:
o Grand Haven $50.00
o Grand Rapids $75.00
o Holland $52.00
o Kentwood $100.00
o Norton Shores $50.00
o Walker $100.00
o Wyoming $100.00
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Increased compliance with launch ramp permit
requirements will increase revenues to the city's Marina & Launch Ramp fund.
Increased compliance with handicap parking regulations will result from the increase
in this fine category.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the recommended increases in
parking fines for boat launch and handicap parking violations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None.
