                                                            Case No. 313264008EO


    Dear Applicant:

         Based on information supplied, and assuming your operations will be as stated
    in your application for recognition of exemption, we have determined you are exempt
    from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

         We have further determined that you are not a private foundation within the
    meaning of section 509(a) of the Code, because you are an organization described
    in section 509(a)(l) and 170(b)(l)(A)(vi).
         If your sources of support, or your purposes, character, or method of operation
    change, please let us know so we can consider the effect of the change on your
    exempt status and foundation status. Also, you should inform us of all changes in
    your name or address.

         Generally, you are not liable for social security (FICA) taxes unless you file
    a waiver of exemption certificate as provided in the Federal Insurance Contributions
    Act. If you have paid FICA taxes without filing the waiver, you should contact us.
    You are not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA).

         Since you are not a private foundation, you are not subject to the excise taxes
    under Chapter 42 of the Code. However, you are not automatically exempt from other
    Federal excise taxes. If you have any questions about excise, imployment, or other
    Federal taxes, please let us know.

         Donors may deduct contributions to you as provided in section 170 of the Code.
    Bequests. legacies, devises, transfers, or -gifts ·to you or for ·your use ate
    deductible for Federal estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the applicable
    provisions of sections 2055, 2106, and 2522 of the Code.

         The box checked in the heading of this letter shows whether you must file
    Form 990, Return or Organization Exempt from Income tax. If Yes is checked, you
    are required to file Form 990 only if your gross receipts each year are normally
    more than $10,000. If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th day of
    of the fifth month after the end of your annual accounting period. The law imposes
    a penalty of $10 a day, up to a maximum of $5,000, when a return is filed late,
    unless there is reasonable cause for the delay.

          Mohammed-
          Thank you for your help.

          I wanted to review a couple of points from our conversation earlier today.

          Appropriate marking & signage would be installed to signify a private underground
          conduit.

          The reasons we would like to connect these properties underground -
          1) Reduction of maintenance.
          2) Near elimination of potential lightning problems.
          3) Cost.

                             Ruddiman Creek Remediation - Fact Sheet


The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and Earth Tech, Inc. are working together to remove
impacted sediments in Ruddiman Creek. This Fact Sheet has been completed to inform residents and interested
parties of the work slated to occur in the Ruddiman Creek area during 2004.

Why are Remedial Activities taking place along Ruddima,1 Creek?
Investigations performed in 2000 and 200 I identify areas of the Ruddiman Creek Pond and the Main Branch
which exceed site criteria for cadmium, chromium, PCBs, lead, and benzo(a)pyrene. In 2002/2003 a Focused
Feasibility Study was conducted to identify appropriate remedial actions for the impacted sediments. Removal
was chosen as the final recommendation. Therefore, sediment removal activities are being undertaken to
remediate areas identified to be impacted with cadmium, chromium, PCBs, lead, and benzo(a)pyrene at levels
exceeding the site criteria.

What areas will be affected and when?
Ruddiman Pond and portions of the Main Branch ofRuddiman Creek will be affected and are identified as shaded
areas on the map below. Removal activities are currently slated to take place in the summer or fall of 2004.

What type of access will the contl'Octors need to complete the work?
The chosen contractor will likely access Ruddiman Pond and the Main Brach at main road crossings whenever
possible. When other access points are required, the specific landowner will be approached for access.

How will the work be completed?
Work areas will be delineated with orange construction fence prior to the start of work. For their own safety, area
residents and the general public will be restricted from all work areas. Sediments will either be mechanically
removed, or will be pumped to a holding area. All removed sediments will be disposed of at a licensed landfill.
Once the impacted sediments have been removed, samples will be taken to verify that remediation goals have
been met.

Who do I contact with questio11s?
Interested parties may contact either Mike Alexander of the MDEQ at (517) 335-4189 or Tamara Buitendorp of
Earth Tech at (616) 940-4415.

Investigations performed in 2000 and 2001 identify areas of the Ruddiman Creek Pond and the Main Branch
which exceed site criteria for cadmium, chromium, PCBs, lead, and benzo(a)pyrene. In 2002/2003 a Focused
Feasibility Study was conducted to identify appropriate remedial actions for the impacted sediments. Removal
was chosen as the final recommendation. Therefore, sediment removal activities are being undertaken to
remediate areas identified to be impacted with cadmium, chromium, PCBs, lead, and benzo(a)pyrene at levels
exceeding the site criteria.

What areas will be affected and when?
Ruddiman Pond and portions of the Main Branch ofRuddiman Creek will be affected and are identified as shaded
areas on the map below. Removal activities are currently slated to take place in the summer or fall of 2004.

What type of access will the contractors need to complete the work?
The chosen contractor will likely access Ruddiman Pond and the Main Brach at main road crossings whenever
possible. When other access points are required, the specific landowner will be approached for access.

How will tlte work be completed?
Work areas will be delineated with orange construction fence prior to the start of work. For their own safety, area
residents and the general public will be restricted from all work areas. Sediments will either be mechanically
removed, or will be pumped to a holding area. All removed sediments will be disposed of at a licensed landfill.
Once the impacted sediments have been removed, samples will be taken to verify that remediation goals have
been met.

Who do I contact with questions?
Interested parties may contact either Mike Alexander of the MDEQ at (517) 335-4189 or Tamara Buitendorp of
Earth Tech at (616) 940-4415.

RE:         Denial of Parking Ramp Proposal


SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City distributed a Request for
Proposals for the City Parking Ramp this fall. The proposals were due
in late November. The only proposal received was from St. Mary's
Catholic Church. They proposed a real-estate "swap", which included
the City demolishing the existing City ramp, then swapping the land with
St. Mary's for their parking lot on the SW corner of Jefferson and
Webster (see attached proposal). It is recommended that the proposal
be denied, as the City would be responsible for the expense of
demolishing the parking ramp.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: None (if the proposal is denied), which the
exception that the City will continue to provide minimal maintenance on
the facility until it is reused or sold at a later date.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To deny the proposal from St. Mary's
Church.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None.

         November 24, 2003

         Mr. Joel Fitzpatrick
         Planning and Economic Development Department
         Muskegon City Hall
         933 Terrace Street
         P.O. Box536
         Muskegon, MI 49443

         Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick,

         St. Mary's Catholic Church is pleased to present the Planning and Economic Development
         Department of the City of Muskegon our proposal for the purchase and redevelopment of the City
         owned parking ramp. We are eager and interested to participate in the dynamic changes occurring
         in Downtown Muskegon.

         We see these changes as an opportunity to continue the long-standing relationship, which exists
         between St. Mary's and the City of Muskegon. St. Mary's was the first church built in Muskegon
         in 1856. This church was quickly outgrown and the existing church building on the comer of First
         and Webster was built in 1886. This was the tallest building in Muskegon at the time. The City of
         Muskegon along with its citizens purchased the bell for the church and had it installed. The bell
         not only called the faithful to Mass but also rang out the hourly time and was used in emergencies
         to alert citizens of a fire or other danger. The inscription on the bell confirms the contribution
         from the City of Muskegon and it's citizens to St. Mary's.

         We request the Planning and Economic Development Department look favorably upon our
         proposal. We feel this proposal will benefit the City of Muskegon, downtown businesses,
         employees, customers, visitors, St. Mary's Church and parishioners.

         We realize your department will be reviewing hundreds of proposals regarding the parking ramp.
         Representatives from St. Mary's are available to meet with you to discuss and explain the
         proposal. We look forward to hearing from you and we thank you in advance for giving our
         proposal consideration.


         Sincerely in Christ,

          ~v     }ks~✓
         Rev. James B. Wyse
                           u;,~                                   Rev. Ernest J. Bernot!
       Proposal for the Purchase and Redevelopment
            of the City Owned Parking Ramp

I.     Offering Price
       St. Mary's Catholic Church proposes a real-estate swap. We currently have
       title to the fenced in parking lot on the SW corner of Jefferson and Webster
       Ave. Several years ago city officials including representatives from the fire
       department inquired about acquiring the lot in order to build a new fire station.
       The need was due to the current fire station being located in the Historical
       district with no ability for expansion. The lot (see attachment "A" for real
       estate appraisal) was appraised at a value of $350,000 in 1994. Both parcels
       have approximately the same square footage. For the real-estate swap to be
       complete, St. Mary's requires the city to tear down the ramp and asphalt pave
       the lot.

II.    Proposed Use of the Property

       In the immediate future, the property would be used as a parking lot. With the
       downtown area losing the mall and several hundred parking spaces, St.
       Mary's believes the need for restricted, controlled and approved parking for
       downtown businesses will be in high demand. The new parking lot would also
       serve as over flow parking for Sunday Masses, special events at St. Mary's or
       anywhere else in the downtown area.

III.   Timetable for Redevelopment

       Immediately - based on acceptance by the City of Muskegon and approval of
       the Diocese of Grand Rapids.

IV.    Consistency of Proposed Development with City Plans

       The development of a new parking lot in the place of the parking ramp in
       addition to the City's acquisition of a parcel of property close to other city
       government buildings provides a consistent development theme for the
       downtown area. The City will have a more accessible lot to constmct a new
       fire barn, other facility or sell the lot to another developer.
V.    Compatibility with Surrounding Properties

      A new, landscaped parking lot next to St. Mary's on First Street will be very
      compatible with the surrounding properties. St. Mary's will streetscape the
      sidewalks and landscape the parking lot to fit any new look created by the new
      downtown construction or recommendation by the City. The parking lot will
      benefit local businesses by providing employees with a place to park.

VI.   Background and Description of Bidder's Development
      Experience
      Whereas St. Mary's Church does not have development experience, interested
      parishioners (members) who have development experience contribute their
      time and talent for any new acquisition, building or major
      renovation/restoration project. When the talent pool does not equal the
      demands of the new acquisition, building or project, St. Mary's out-sources
      necessary work in order to accomplish the goal.

VII. Estimated Number of Jobs to be Created
      A new parking lot next St. Mary's on First Street will not create any long-
      term employment or jobs. Short term contractual work necessary to take the
      parking ramp down, asphalt the lot and install the landscaping/street-scaping
      will result in other companies keeping current employees working with the
      potential of new hire being added. On the other hand, if the City accepts this
      proposal and builds a new municipal building such as a fire station on the
      Webster lot, the City of Muskegon would need to provide the number of
      newly created jobs.

VIII. Estimated Amount of Investment
      St. Mary's total investment associated with this proposal includes the cost to
      landscape, streetscape and light the new parking lot on First Street across from
      St. Mary's. This range has been estimated to be from $30,000.00 to
      $40,000.00 depending on any special requirements as directed by the City.
      Additional fees tied to the investment include any real estate and attorney fees
      associated with the acceptance of this proposal, which are unknown at this
      time.

                                  Resolution #        2004-04(e)




WHEREAS, Nugent Sand Company located in the City of Norton Shores, excavates, processes
and supplies specialty sands to foundries all over the country; and

WHEREAS, in the course of extracting sand Nugent has created two water-filled quarries, North
Lake and South Lake. The raw sand that is excavated must be washed and chemically treated to
produce a material that meets the foundry industry's needs. In this process the clays, silts and
natural organic debris are washed out with North Lake Water, then carbonates are removed by
the addition of PAMAK, a commercial food grade fatty acid, which allows carbonates to float
off the sand. Then pine oil is used to coagulate the floating carbonates so that they can be
skimmed off, and

WHEREAS, in the past, Nugent Sand Company has been discharging all process wastewaters to
the groundwater leaving the well water in the area with increased amounts of iron and
manganese, making it undesirable for use by the residents. The MDEQ wants the discharge of
wastes to groundwater to cease. To comply with this Nugent is proposing to construct a 36"
steel pipe through the barrier dune to Lake Michigan by the bore and jack method. This pipe
would be some 700 feet in length and would terminate with an outlet structure and rip-rap in the
vicinity of the beach. The structure will be made of tons of rock and riprap, 65' long and 35'        ~-        )
wide.                                                                                                '-- -~!.


NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Steve Warmington, Mayor of the City of
Muskegon, speaking on behalf of the City Commission and our citizens do hereby declare our
strong opposition to the construction of a pipeline through the barrier dune to Lake Michigan for
the following reasons:
                                                                                                       1' '




        I. The construction of the pipeline through the dune creates the potential for collapse of
            the dune during construction.
       2. The volume of water discharge at the outfall is likely to destabilize and increase
            erosion of the dune bluff, fore dune and beach area.
       3. The discharge during the winter months when Lake Michigan freezes that the
            discharge may flood the beach and cause even more erosion.
       4. It will cause destabilization and increase erosion of the dune bluff and severe
           damages to the beach and the Lake Michigan bottom.
       5. The structures and dispersement process created on the Lake Michigan side of the
           dune will be unsightly and create a serious impediment to the enjoyment and natural
           beauty of the beach.
       6. The concern over the quality and quantity of water discharged to Lake Michigan and
           the aesthetics of a potential plume in Lake Michigan.

Re:          Concurrence with the Housing Board of Appeals Notice & Order to
             Demolish. Dangerous building case #01-051-Address: 1166 W.
             Grand.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:                This is to request City Commission
concurrence with the findings of the Housing Board of Appeals that the structure
located at 1166 W. Grand (Area 12) is unsafe, substandard, a public nuisance
and that it be demolished within thirty (30) days.

It is further requested that administration be directed to obtain bids for the
demolition of the structure and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized and
directed to execute a contract for demolition with the lowest responsible bidder.

Case# & Project Address: #01-051 - 1166 W. Grand - Area 12

Location and ownership: This structure is located on W. Grand west of Barclay
at the end of the cul de sac. It was owned by Kenneth & Maryjane Sanford and
they sold it on a land contract to James & Tamara Ward. An inspection was
conducted on 11 /15/01 due to complaints regarding the exterior condition of the
home. A notice and order to repair or remove was issued 2/26/02. The case
was heard before the HBA on May 2, 2002 and it was tabled for 180 days. At
that time it was ordered that the repairs to the front of the house be completed
within 30 days and the exterior repairs be completed within 90 days. It was
stated if the conditions were met, the case would not be brought back to the
HBA. The exterior repairs were not completed and the case was heard again
before the HBA on 12/5/02. The Wards were not present, but they called the
office on 11 /27 /02 and stated they had been working inside and spent a large
amount of money on the electrical work and that the front of the house would be
completed within 60 days.      There has been no contact with the owners since
that date. The HBA declared it dangerous and substandard on 12/5/02. The
case was brought before City Commission on 3/25/03 and was tabled indefinitely
to give the Wards an opportunity to repair. In September 2003 they had a
furnace installed, with the help of CNS. On 11 /17 /03 a complaint notice was
issued regarding junk on the front porch and reissued 12/1 /03. On 12/18/03 a
$100 civil infraction was issued for storing rubbish on the porch. On this date it
was discovered that the gas had been shut off for non-payment and the Wards
had moved to Florida and they are renting the house out. An officer attempted to
speak to someone at the house due to neighbor complaints, but got no answer.
He was able to see a small propane stove inside on the kitchen counter.
Another exterior inspection was conducted 1/2/04.
Staff Correspondence: A dangerous building inspection report was written
11 /15/01 and Notice and Order to repair or remove was issued 2/26/02. On
5/2/02 the HBA tabled the case for 180 days to allow the owner to complete
repairs. On 12/5/02 the HBA declared the house substandard and dangerous.
On 3/25/03 the City Commission heard the case and tabled it indefinitely.

Owner Contact: The owners were present at the 5/2/02 HBA meeting and stated
they wanted to repair the house. A progress inspection was ordered by the City
Commission 3/25/03 and was conducted 4/10/03. The Wards have not
contacted the Inspection Department since then, but have been in Contact with
CNS for financial help with the furnace.

Financial Impact:   The cost of demolition will be paid with general funds.

Budget Action Required:      None

SEV: $26,500

Staff Recommendation:        To concur with the Housing Board of Appeals
decision to demolish.

Estimated Cost of Repairs:          $25,000

City Commission Recommendation:          The Commission will consider this item
at it's meeting on Tuesday, January 13, 2004.
