SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City has available through the Enterprise Community Grant

Western Avenue. This purchase was approved last summer by the Enterprise
Community Task Force. The Planning Department staff has been working with
Consumer's Energy to select appropriate light fixtures to be installed and maintained by
Consumer's. This project is the beginning of a streetscape plan the Planning
Department hopes to continue with other grant money sometime in the future. City
Commission needs to give their approval for the installation, since the lights will be
located in the City right-of-way.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The lights will be maintained by Consumers Energy.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: For the Mayor and Clerk to sign the resolution approving of
the installation of the lights in the City right-of-way on Western Avenue.

approved this request in June of 2002.
f. Approval to Resubmit Notice of Intent (NOi) for Partnership for
Traditional Neighborhood Redevelopment (ParTNeR) Program - New
Project PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The NOi was submitted for the ParTNeR Program, and staff has
since met with the MEDC staff. The MEDC and their partners (MSHDA and MSHPO would
like us to resubmit our project for Western Avenue. MEDC believes that Western
Avenue is well into it's renaissance, and a project in this area has the most chance of
success at this time. In addition, they believe they can better appeal to MDOT for
approval of our Enhancement Grant, if the project is on Western Avenue. The primary
project identified is the redevelopment of the Boiler Works building and the small
Depot, at the intersection of Western Avenue and Eighth Street. Therefore, the project
proposed is to acquire the property at the SE corner of Western and Eighth, demolish
the building (which is not historic) and create parking. With the developments along
Western Avenue, parking is becoming a much-needed commodity. This project would
greatly assist developments in the area.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: If approved for the grant, the funds will be used to cover the costs
of a consultant to conduct a plan for the identified area and to purchase two buildings
on Third Street for demolition and/or renovation. In addition, funds will be used for
streetscape improvements. The amount being applied for may exceed $400,000, since
the project is more costly. The local match must be 10 percent, or $40,00 plus. The
City would pledge $20,000 in CDBG funds, and the Community Foundation for Muskegon
County would pledge $20,000 from their MSHDA funds. In addition, we can use
matching funds from the Transportation Enhancement Grant, in the amount of $271,000
and $30,000 for the new street lighting on Western Avenue (Enterprise community
funds), for our local match.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution and authorize the Mayor and Clerk
to sign.
g. Brownfield Consulting Contract - Anne Couture PLANNING AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City of Muskegon has been contracting with Anne Couture,
of Couture Environmental Strategies LLC, during the last five years, to assist us with our
Brownfield activities. She has excellent contacts at the Department of Environmental
Quality, since she worked there several years ago. She has also successfully assisted the
City in securing grant funding for several projects. Ms. Couture works closely with our
City Staff and Brownfield applicants for Brownfield Redevelopment Plan amendments.
The fee charged for the application process helps to defray the contract costs. Funds
for Ms. Couture's current contract have been expended. Therefore, the Commission is
asked to approve the current proposal from Ms. Couture.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Costs to the City will not exceed $10,000. It is expected that this
amount will allow for one to two years of service.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the proposal between the City of Muskegon and
Couture Environmental Strategies LLC, and authorize the Mayor to sign the proposal.

d. Relocation of Power Line - Terrace Lot PLANNING AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: It is necessary at some point to relocate the Consumer's power
line located at the NW corner of the Terrace Lot property owned by the City. If the
City works with Westwood (who owns the adjacent property) to relocate the lines at the
present time, the total cost will be approximately $246,000 (with a possible 3-5%
inflation increase). Westwood has agreed to pay for $100,000, or a 40% contribution of
the cost. If the City chooses not to participate at this time, the cost to relocate the
power line in the future will be $246,000 plus. This cost will be necessary for a future
owner to develop the property, and thus, will be an added expense for them after
purchasing the lot from the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: If the City were to participate at this time, under the terms outlined
in the correspondence from Westwood, the cost would be approximately $146,000 (plus
an additional 3-5% possible, due to inflation since Consumers first quoted this cost). It
is anticipated that this cost will be recouped from the future sale of the property.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: The City has no fund identified to cover the cost at this
time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To deny the request, as proposed by Westwood.
Motion by Commissioner Larson, second by Commissioner Gawron to enter into an
agreement with Westwood for the relocation of Consumers Energy power line on the
Terrace lot, and furthermore, this agreement is conditional on granting the
necessary easements to install the power line system along the Westwood property
and the City property.

Re: Request of Add Space to 1163 E. Laketon Ave, Muskegon, MI.
The Muskegon Police Department has received a request from the Michigan Liquor
Control Commission for an investigation from applicant PNS#9, Inc. for Add Space in
2001 Class C-SDM licensed business with Official Permit (food).
The listed location is that of Flamingo II bar and restaurant. Anita Loera is the license
holder and her father, Al Loera is the current owner. We have spoken with Mr. Loera
who stated that approximately two (2) years ago the business was in need of a larger
walk-in cooler/freezer. The proper building permits were obtained from the City of
Muskegon and an addition was added to the business for the coolers. Mr. Loera stated
that he was not advised that L.C.C. needed notification of this addition. After the
addition was completed and some time had gone by, L.C.C. did an inspection of the
building and discovered that they had not given permission for the addition. This request
form is in need of completion in order to have the proper forms 011 file with L.C.C.
After speaking with Mr. Loera we find 110 reason to deny this request.

RE: lnstallation of 10 Decorative Lights on Western Avenue
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The City has available through the Enterprise Community grant from 1994 $30,000
earmarked for the purchase and installation of decorative lighting on Western Avenue.
This purchase was approved last summer by the Enterprise Community Task Force.
The Planning Department staff has been working with Consumer's Energy to select
appropriate light fixtures to be installed and maintained by Consumer's. Attached is a
picture of the three lamp styles we have to choose from. This project is the beginning
of a streetscape plan the Planning Department hopes to continue with other grant
money sometime in the future. City Commission needs to give their approval for the
installation, since the lights will be located in the City right-of-way.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The lights will be maintained by Consumer's Energy.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
For the Mayor and Clerk to sign the attached resolution approving of the installation of
the lights in the City right-of-way on Western Avenue.

2002.

RE: Approval to resubmit Notice of Intent (NOi) for
Partnership for Traditional Neighborhood
Redevelopment (ParTNeR) Program- New Project
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The NOi was submitted for the ParTNeR Program, and staff has
since meet with the MEDC staff. The MEDC and their partners (MSHDA and MSHPO) would
like us to resubmit our project for Western Avenue. MEDC believes that Western Avenue is
well into it's renaissance, and a project in this area has the most chance of success at this
time. In addition, they believe they can better appeal to MOOT for approval of our
Enhancement Grant, if the project is on Western Avenue. The primary project identified is
the redevelopment of the Boiler Works building and the small Depot, at the intersection of
Western Avenue and Eighth Street. Therefore, the project proposed is to acquire the
property at the SE corner of Western and Eighth, demolish the building (which is not historic)
and create parking. With the developments along Western Avenue, parking is becoming a
much-needed commodity. This project would greatly assist developments in the area.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: If approved for the grant, the funds will be used to cover the costs of a
consultant to conduct a plan for the identified area (see map attached) and to purchase two
buildings on Third Street for demolition and/or renovation. In addition, funds will be used for
streetscape improvements. The amount being applied for may exceed $400,000, since the
project is more costly. The local match must be 10 percent, or $40,000+. The City would
pledge $20,000 in CDBG funds, and the Community Foundation for Muskegon County would
pledge $20,000 from their MSHDA funds. In addition, we can use matching funds from the
Transportation Enhancement grant, in the amount of $271 ,000 and $30,000 for the new
streetlighting on Western Avenue (Enterprise Community funds), for our local match.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the attached resolution and authorize the Mayor
and Clerk to sign.

Office (SHPO), is requesting Notice of Intent (NOi) submissions for the ParTNeR program; and
WHEREAS, the City of Muskegon has been invited to submit a NOi, as the central city of the
County of Muskegon; and
WHEREAS, funds are available through the Community Development Block Grant Program,
through the County of Muskegon , for economic development infrastructure projects, and
WHEREAS, the proposed area for the ParTNeR program includes the commercial corridors along
Western Avenue between Third and Eighth Streets; and Third Street between Western Avenue
and Merrill Streets, and the residential areas bounded by Third Street, Muskegon Avenue,
Shoreline Drive and Eight Street; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City that the Project will include a comprehensive
neighborhood revitalization planning process, as well as an infrastructure project that involves the
acquisition of property at the SE corner of Western Avenue and Eighth Street, with the building to
be demolished, and parking lot improvements made, and streetscape improvements added along
Fifth Street, between Webster and Western Avenues;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the City Commission authorizes staff to submit
an NOi to the MEDC, and if approved for the ParTNeR project, to coordinate the project with the
County of Muskegon and the Community Foundation of Muskegon County,
AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT the City Commission authorizes the expenditure of

RE: Brownfield Consulting Contract- Anne Couture
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City of Muskegon has been contracting
with Anne Couture, of Couture Environmental Strategies LLC, during the
last five years, to assist us with our Brownfield activities. She has
excellent contacts at the Department of Environmental Quality, since
she worked there several years ago. She has also successfully assisted
the City in securing grant funding for several projects. Ms. Couture
works closely with our City Staff and brownfield applicants for Brownfield
Redevelopment Plan amendments. The fee charged for the application
process helps to defray the contract costs. Funds for Ms. Couture's
current contract have been expended. Therefore, the Commission is
asked to approve the current proposal from Ms. Couture.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Costs to the City will not exceed $10,000. It is
expected that this amount will allow for one to two years of service.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the attached proposal
between the City of Muskegon and Couture Environmental Strategies
LLC, and authorize the Mayor to sign the proposal.

Re: Proposal for Continuation of Services
Brownfield Redevelopment Activities
Dear Cathy:
Couture Environmental Strategies LLC is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of
Muskegon ("City") to continue to provide the City with assistance on various brownfield
redevelopment activities. This effort primarily involves working with the City, developers,
businesses, and state officials to utilize all available brownfield redevelopment tools that
provide incentives to redevelop brownfield properties within the City. This includes
adding sites to the Muskegon Brownfield Plan through amendments to the Plan, as well
as pursuing additional grants and loans that may become available to the City to
facilitate its brownfield redevelopment efforts.
Scope of Work
The Scope of Work for the proposed services of Couture Environmental Strategies LLC
includes the following:
• Based on referrals obtained from the City, work with developers, property owners,
their attorneys and environmental consultants to evaluate the eligibility of properties
to be included in the City of Muskegon's Brownfield Plan.
• Provide recommendations to the City regarding Brownfield Plan amendments, or
recommend use of other incentives available to the City to redevelop Brownfield
properties.
• Upon concurrence by the City or its Brownfield Authority, prepare amendments to the
Brownfield Plan, with advice and counsel from City attorneys.
• Prepare brownfield grant or loan applications, as directed by the City.
• Undertake other brownfield redevelopment activities as directed by the City.

Cost Estimate
The services of Couture Environmental Strategies LLC will be billed to the City on an
hourly basis; my 2003 hourly rate is $150/hour. Time will be billed based on actual
hours worked and direct costs incurred. Costs to the City for these services will not
exceed $10,000 unless specifically authorized by the City. This amount of funding is
likely to be sufficient to fund over a year of brownfield redevelopment support activities.
Agreement
Attached to the letter are Provisions for Representation by Couture Environmental
Strategies LLC ("Provisions"). This letter and the attached Provisions constitute a
contractual agreement for services. If these terms and conditions are acceptable, I
would appreciate your acknowledging acceptance of them by signing and returning the
enclosed copy of this letter. Please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions.

RE: CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM REPLACEMENT AND
INSPECTION- ELEVATED TANKS & CLAIRIFIERS
BACKGROUND
The City's three one-million gallon elevated storage tanks and the two upflow
clairifiers at the Water Filtration Plant are equipped with cathodic protection
systems. These systems are designed to change the flow of electrical current
(electrons) from the steel structure to sacrificial anodes. This process deters the
corrosion, or rusting, of the immersed steel. Thereby, retaining the integrity of
the structure where it is in contact with the water. The elevated tank systems
have been in service for over 24 years
INSPECTION
The annual inspection and calibration performed by Corrpro Waterworks last
year indicated the need for replacement of two of the rectifier units, and one
anode/cathode system. Further, the inspection recommended consideration for
replacement of the remaining elevated tank and clairifier units in the near future.
We elected to find the results of this-years inspection and construction plans prior
to replacing the remaining systems.
Corrpro Waterworks is the only mid-west vendor recommended by our
consultant, Ira Gabin of Dixon Engineering. They are the firm that installed our
• present systems and has invariably been the lowest responsible bidder for the
annual inspections.
BUDGET
The Water Filtration Plant budget includes funding for replacement of the two
rectifiers and one anode/cathode system and an inspection and calibration this
year. A request for a price quotation was made to Corrpro Waterworks to
perform replacements and inspections. The response is included.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend we bring this issue before the Mayor and City Commission for their
review and approval of Corrpro Waterworks to perform the work as indicated.

should not form the basis for a finding of default.
3.5 The bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.
3 .6 The failure to pay any and all taxes and assessments levied on the
Company's property or any other taxes, local, state or federal, including but not
limited to City income taxes and the withholding of said City income taxes from
employees as required by the City Income Tax Ordinance.
3. 7 The performance or omission of any act which would lead to revocation
under MCLA 207.565, being §15 of the Act.
3.8 The violation of any provisions, promises, commitments, considerations or
covenants of this Agreement.
4. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. In the event of any of the above defaults the City
shall have the following remedies which it may invoke without notice, except as may be
reasonably required by the Company's rights to due process:
4.1 In the event of closing as determined after investigation of the facts and a
public hearing, the Company shall be immediately liable for penalties to be paid
forthwith to the city as determined as follows:
4.1.1 The Company shall pay to the City for prorata distribution to the
taxing units experiencing the abatement, an amount equal to the difference
between the industrial facilities tax which it has paid, and the total
property taxes to the relevant taxing units which it would have paid, given
its installations of improvements and equipment, during the years for
which the ce1tificate was in effect.
4.1.2 Immediate Revocation. The Company hereby consents to
revocation to the !FT certificate before the State Tax Commission, without
hearing, and the City shall submit a copy of this Agreement to the State
Tax Commission in connection with its revocation procedure, giving
Page4
notice that the default has occuned and immediate revocation should
occur.
4.2 In the event the improvements and equipment have not been installed before
the two (2) year period, in addition to the revocation procedures before the State
Tax Commission, the abatement should immediately be reduced by the City
proportionately, and any installations which have not been finished at the end of
said two (2) year period shall not be eligible for the abatement thereafter and shall
be placed on the regular tax roll.
4.3 Failure to Expend the Funds Represented. In the event, (whether or not the
installations have been completed), the Company has not expended the funds it
has represented on its application that it would invest for the installation of
equipment, the abatement shall be reduced prorata, and any remaining value of
equipment shall be placed on the regular tax roll, unless the company can show,
through receipts, etc. that the cost of the equipment was actually less than the
amount estimated by the company (i.e., the same equipment was purchased
as listed in the IFT application, but the bids came in less then expected).
4.4 Job Creation and Retention. In the event the promised number of jobs have
not been created or retained at the end of the two (2) years after the grant of the
certificate by the State Tax Commission, the abatement shall be proportionately
reduced, unless the company can show that the loss of jobs, or inability to hire
as many people as expected, is due to circumstances beyond the control of the
company (such as an economic downturn).
4.5 Affirmative Action Goals. In the event, after one (I) year from the grant of
the certificate by the State Tax Commission, the affirmative action goals of the
City for additional jobs have not been met on a prorata basis, the abatement shall
be revoked.
4.6 For other violations of this Agreement or for actions or omissions by the
Company amounting to grounds for revocation by statue, the City shall
recommend to the State Tax Commission immediate revocation of the certificate.
4.7 Special Assessment. For any amount due to be paid to the City, under this
Section 4, the Company consents that the City shall have a personal action against
the Company for the said amount, and in addition, cumulatively, and not by
election, the City shall have a special assessment lien on all the propeiiy of the
Company personal and real, located in the City, for the collection of the amounts
due as and in the manner of property taxes and in such case the collection of the
said special assessment shall be accomplished by addition by the City to the
Company's property tax statement regularly rendered.

Attachment 1
We are interested in adding additional coiling, winding, heat
treatment, and gauging capabilities to improve our competitive position
in the electronics and medical industries. To do this, we would like to
purchase new equipment that is leading edge technology. The first items
are two coiling machines that will coil wire less than .001" in diameter.
As a reference, the diameter of a human hair is .003". The third piece of
equipment is a winding machine. This is a new process for Motion
Dynamics, but one that is necessary for many products currently used
in the medical field. This equipment will allow us to coil more than one
wire together, forming a part that looks like a long spring, but allows
doctors to attach multiple electronic measurement devices for collecting
data through one opening. These are known as multi-filars.
Along with these core-processing capabilities, we would like to
add a new heat treatment oven that allows us to use an inert gas
environment versus air. Inert gases are gases such as Nitrogen and
Argon. These create an atmosphere that does not allow any oxidation or
contamination to form on the part during the heat treatment process.
This is required on fine wire springs. We also need a Shot Peener that
will remove burrs, or metal fragments, from the ends of springs. The
last item we are considering is a vision system used in the measurement
of micro sized springs. This will give us the ability to measure down to
.0001".

To whom it may concern;
Along with my application for obsolete property rehabilitation exemption certificate, I
am sending this letter to address the appropriate items listed in the criteria section of the
handout.
There would be minimal impacts on public right of way and general circulation
patterns. There are adequate parking spaces and sufficient room to pull in and pull out
without impeding traffic. Entrance to the parking lot is off Alpha St, which runs E and W
connecting Peck and Sanford.
By demolishing the unattached garage, we would triple the parking area. When this is
done, new paving would be put down to replace the cracked and upheaved concrete
parking that currently exist. A landscaped, or green area will be provided per site plan.
Currently, no green area or vegetation exists. There is an old signage frame that is
mounted on the roof. It is unsightly and not in use. This will be removed and new
signage will be installed on the building. We have no proposed signs at this time; some
tenant issues must be addressed upon completion of the project. At that time we will
submit the proposal in an effort to get the permit.
As the applicant, I am further stating that I have a good standing with the City as far as
history in payment of taxes, water bills or any other obligations to the City.
As required, the rehabilitation of the facility will not be undertaken without the receipt
of the exemption certificate.
The location of the proposed improvements is 1871 Peck St. To my knowledge, this
area has not already been designated as an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation District. I
believe, however, that the area qualifies for such a designation.
The property was purchased for $8,000 and the projected expense of the rehabilitation
is $25,000.
Property values in the general area would be positively impacted. To what extent, is
not known.
The project will be consistent with all adopted codes, ordinances and plans. Permits
and inspections will be timely.
In closing, I would like to state that the project will enhance the community not only
in appearance, but will create approximately 8 new jobs in the City. The tenants under
consideration currently have existing offices, which are not within the City of
Muskegon's limits.
Thank you .. ~ __

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
Alpha Ave. between Commerce & Jefferson
In an effort to incorporate the established goals of eliminating gravel streets from the City system
into our proposed work, we are proposing the construction of a new curb & gutter street in Alpha
between Commerce & Jefferson. In addition to the aforementioned, this proposal was initiated
by the City due to :
1. That section of Alpha is gravel, therefore, in keeping with the City's goals of eliminating all
gravel roads made this road a leading candidate for roadway construction.
2. The need to reduce maintenance cost associated with upkeep of the gravel road
3. Enhance the appearance of that area
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 approximately $65,000 with
the length of the project being approximately 600 lineal feet or 499 of assessable footage. This
translates into an estimated improvement cost of$ 13 0 per assessable foot. The assessment
figure will be at a cost not to exceed $35.35 per assessable foot as established in the 2003 Special
Assessment for this type of improvement.

Ill Mr. Al-Shatel:
II In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special
assessment district entailing the reconstn1ction of Alpha Avenue located between
•II C01runerce Street and Jefferson Street. The purpose of this analysis is to
document the reasonableness of this special assessment district by identifying
and quantifying any accrned benefits. It is subject to the nonnal governmental
restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power and eminent domain. The effective
date is April 29, 2003.
II In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accn1ed benefits to the properties encompassed by this
project. The amounts reflect the sum of the i1mnediate estimated value
II enhancement and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in
•II
property values due to an improved quality of life created by the proposed
project. As previously presented, the proposed special assessment district
encompasses a mixture of properties, but the front foot rate of$ 35.50 appears
reasonable in light of our analysis that indicates a probable enhancement of
$3 7 .35. The conclusions are based upon the data presented within this li1nited
analysis in restricted fonnat, and on supporting infonnation in my files.
II Sincerely,

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:
ALPHA AVE., COMMERCE ST. TO JEFFERSON ST.
The proposed special assessment district will be located as follows:
All parcels abutting Alpha Ave., Commerce St. to Jefferson St.
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 MAY 13, 2003 at 5:30
P.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 $65,000.00 of which
approximately 27.03% ($17,572.50) 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

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 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 (10) 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 (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:
• Be 65 years or older or be totally or permanently disabled.
• Have been a Michigan resident for five (5) years or more and have owned and occupied the homestead
being assessed for five (5) years or more.
• Be a citizen of the U.S.
• Have a total household income not in excess of $16,823.00
• Have a special assessment of $300.00 or more.
Under this program the State of Michigan will pay the entire balance owing of the special assessment,
including delinquent, current, and further installments. At the time of payment a lien will be recorded on your
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
interest is accrued at the rate of 6.00% per year.
IV. Further Information About the Above Programs
Further information about any of the above payment options may be obtained by calling either the City
Assessor's Office at 724-6708 or the City Treasurer's Office at 724-6720. Applications may be obtained at
the Muskegon County Equalization Office in the Muskegon County building or City of Muskegon Assessor's
Office in City Hall.
V. Additional Special Assessment Payment Assistance
Qualified low and moderate income homeowners who are being assessed may be eligible for payment
assistance through the City of Muskegon Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Assistance
from this program will be available to the extent that funds are available. To obtain further information and

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
FRANKLIN ST. FROM WASHINGTON AVE. TO MICHIGAN
The proposed reconstruction of Franklin, Washington to Michigan, see attached location map,
was initiated by the City due to:
1. the conditions of the road
2. the need to renew the sanitary sewer
3. this section is close to the Washington, Franklin to Lakeshore Dr. Project which was awarded
to Prince Bridge & Marines. Shonld the district be created, this project can be added to the
aforementioned contract as a change order which wonld save the City a lot of Money.
4. The drainage in this section of Franklin is in bad shape that requires an ongoing and costly
maintenance that is not solving the problem.
The proposed project consists of a total 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. In
addition to the roadway work, a new 15" sanitary sewer is being proposed.
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 approximately $80,000 with
the length of the project being approximately 340 lineal feet or 495 of assessable front footage.
This translates into an estimated improvement cost of$ 161 per assessable foot. The assessment
figure will be at a cost not to exceed $35.50 per front foot as established in the 2003 Special
Assessment for this type of improvement.

II Mr. Al-Shatel:
In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment district
entailing the reconstruction of Franklin Street between Michigan Ave and Washington Ave.
II 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
•II governmental restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power and eminent domain. The
effective date is April 29, 2003.
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 of life created
by the proposed project. As previously presented, the proposed special assessment district
encompasses primarily residential properties. The front foot rate of$35.S0 for the
reconstruction of the above mentioned project area appears reasonable in light of an analysis
that indicates a possible enhancement of$36.38. The conclusions are based upon the data
presented within this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my
files.

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:
FRANKLIN ST., WASHINGTON AVE. TO MICHIGAN AVE.
The proposed special assessment district will be located as follows:
All parcels abutting Franklin St.., Washington Ave. to Michigan 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 MAY 13,
2003 at 5:30 P.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 $80,000.00 of which
approximately 22.14% ($17,714.50) 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
to attend the scheduled public hearing. Your views are important to the City and to your
neighbors. Additional information, including preliminary project plans and cost
estimates is available in the Engineering Department located on the second floor of City
Hall. Regular business hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday

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 Payment§.

Street and Alley Assessments- Ten (10) 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 (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/

Staff Report [EXCERPT)
CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
April I 0, 2003
Hearing; Case 2003-10: Staff-initiated request to rezone multiple properties in the portion
of the city bounded by Washington Ave., Seaway Dr., Southern Ave. and Peck St.
BACKGROUND
This rezoning is a continuation of the 'Area IO' rezoning which was done last fall. At that time,
the City Commission asked staff to look into the possibility of continuing the rezoning to the
area south of Washington Ave., which was left mostly zoned as 'RT, Two-Family Residential' at
that time. Staff has followed the same process as before in terms of conducting a land-use survey
of the area and proposing downzoning for the residential, commercial and industrial properties in
the area.
Staff visually inspected every one of the 219 parcels within what is being called 'Area !Ob'.
Each parcel was given a land-use designation (see enclosed land use map of Area !Ob):
C .. ............. Commercial
CP ............ Cemetery/Park
I ............... .Industrial
IC ............ .Institutional-Church
IG ............ .Institutional-Government
IS ............. .Institutional-School
P ............... Parking
Rl ............. One-Family Residential
R2 ............. Two-Family Residential
R3 ............. Three-Family Residential
R4 ............. Four-Family Residential
RC ......... ... Residential/Commercial
RM ........... Multiple-Family Residential
V ............... Vacant
VB ............ Vacant Business
As before, staff has sent letters to each of the property owners asking them to verify that the land
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 4/10/03
use designation for their property(ies) has been con-ectly identified. This effort is ongoing, but
staff anticipates having a complete and accurate picture of the current land uses to add to the
existing land use study previously done in Area 10.
Based in part on the land use information gained so far by the survey, and on what the Master
Plan and recent planning eff01is have stated for this general area, staff is proposing that most of
the properties within Area I Ob be rezoned. A mailing has been sent to every property owner and
tenant of record, both within Area !Ob and within 300 feet of the boundaries of Area !Ob,
informing them that this rezoning is being proposed and discussed by the Planning and City
Commissions.
The current zoning of most of the residential properties within Area I Ob (see enclosed map
labeled 'Current Zoning') is RT, Two-Family Residential. There is a small amount ofRM-1,
Low Density Multiple-Family Residential, zoning along Peck St. The land use survey showed
that although there are some existing multi-family dwellings within the area, the majority of
residential properties do contain single-family homes. Therefore, staff is proposing to rezone
most of the residential prope1iies to R-1, Single-Family Residential. Any existing multi-family
units would be permitted to remain as legal nonconforming uses, but no further single-family
homes would be able to be converted to multi-family units.
The small stretch of Peck St. would be zoned as RM- I, consistent with the rest of Peck St. Staff
is proposing that the Clock Funeral Home prope1iy be left as B-1 zoning and that the zoning be
aligned with the existing parcel boundaries. The Muskegon High School property was rezoned
as part of the earlier, Area 10, process, so is not included in the current request.
The existing industries on the west side of Area I Ob would either be left zoned as I-1, Light
Industrial, or rezoned from I-2, General Industrial, to I-1. There is one parcel currently zoned as
B-4, General Business. Staff is proposing that this property be downzoned to B-2, Convenience
& Comparison Business. The current use, a roofing contractor, would still be permitted in the B-
2 district under Special Use Permit.
Please see the enclosed map labeled 'Proposed Zoning' for the specifics of what staff is
proposing for the entire Area I Ob.
DELIBERATION
Criteria-based questions typically asked during a rezoning include:
I . What, if any, identifiable conditions related to the petition have changed which justify the
petitioned change in zoning.
2. What are the precedents and the possible effects of precedent which might result from the
approval or denial of the petition.
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 4/10/03 2
3. What is the impact of the amendment on the ability of the city to provide adequate public
services and facilities and/or programs that might reasonably be required in the future if the
petition is approved.
4. Does the petitioned zoning change adversely affect the environmental conditions or value of
the surrounding property.
5. Does the petitioned zoning change generally comply with the adopted Future Land Use
Plan of the City.
6. Are there any significant negative environmental impacts which would reasonably occur if
the petitioned zoning change and resulting allowed structures were built such as:
a. Surface water drainage problems
b. Waste water disposal problems
c. Adverse effect on surface or subsurface water quality
d. The loss of valuable natural resources such as forest, wetland, historic
sites, or wildlife areas.
7. Is the proposed zoning change a "Spot Zone"?
a. Is the parcel small in size relative to its surroundings?
a. Would the zoning change allow uses that are inconsistent with those
allowed in the vicinity?
b. Would the zoning change confer a benefit to the property owner that is
not generally available to other properties in the area?
c. A spot zone is appropriate if it complies with the Master Plan.

. RE: Relocation of Power Line- Terrace Lot
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: It is necessary at some point to relocate the
Consumer's Power line located at the NW corner of the Terrace Lot property owned
by the City. If the City works with Westwood (who owns the adjacent property) to
relocate the lines at the present time, the total cost will be approximately $256,000
(with a possible 3-5% inflation increase). Westwood has agreed to pay for $120,000,
or a 47% contribution, of the cost. The City will pay $136,000 (53%). If the costs are
less than $256,000, we will share in the savings, based on percentage of
contribution. If the costs exceed $256,000, up to 5% more, we will share in the
additional costs. If the costs exceed 5%, we will not proceed with the project
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost for the City will be approximately $136,000 .
. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: The funds will come from the City's Development
Fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request, as outlined.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Working Session of the City Commission
will review this matter at their May 12, 2003 meeting, and recommended that staff
attempt to negotiate a deal with Westwood.

Re: Relocation of Power Linc on City-Owned Tcm1ce Lot
As part of the development of Shoreline Drive and the Terrace Lots, it is necessary to relocate major
power lines owned by Consumer's Power, TI1ese plans were known prior to the sale of the first Terrace
Lot to Westwood for development of National City. At the time, Westwood agreed to finance the entire
power Jjnc relocation, in the ammmt of approximately $246,000, since the lines were being relocated on
thcTcrrace Lot property, for Westwood's benefit. The new pole will be located in the NW portion of the
second Tetrace Lot. TI1c City has retained ownership of this lot. Since the City is not selling this second
lot to Westwood at this time, Westwood no longer has an interest in paying for the entire power line
relocation•. In order to obtain power for the National City site, a connection can be made from the new
pole on the City-owned Terrace Lot, across Terrace Street, to the lot owned by Westwood. Westwood
,vouldpay for this extension to their site. TI1eir cost would be approximately $110,000 to $122,000.
If the extension is made only to the Westwood property at this time, either the City or the new owner of the
Terrace Lot will be required to relocate the pole from the NW comer, to the South of the property, where
additional power lines will be added. TI1c cost to relocate the power line at that point will be at least
$246,000 (which is in addition to tl1e $110,000+ that Westwood would spend now). However, if tl1e entire
relocation occurs now, the total cost would be appro,imatcly $246,000 (possible inflation of3-5%).
In a letter from Westwood, dated April 24, 2003 (see auached), tl1ey agree to$ 100,000 (altl10ugh in a
meeting Mohammed and Cathy had witl1 Westwood, we discussed splitting the cost). If the City agrees to
pay for part of the relocation now, we could be reimbursed through the sale of the property at a later date.
If the City chooses not to participate at tllis tin1e, the value of the property may decrease due to the
necessity to move the power line. In addition, the new owners would be required to relocate the power
line at tl1eir own expense (which would add $246,000+ to the cost of the land purchase).
The City Conmlission is asked to review Westwood's request, altl10ugh staff is recommending tllllt the
proposal from Westwood be denied.

RE: Consumer's Electric Transmission Line Relocation on Terrace Dr. from the power
sub-station to the new National City Bank Building
Dear Mr. Mazade:
I am writing this letter following my meeting last Friday with Ken King and John Brack
of Consumer's Electric and Cathy Brubaker-Clarke and Mohammed S. Al-Shale! of the
City. At that meeting, we discussed the power line relocation that was previously
approved to get power to our new building and at the same time removing the existing
power lines from the remaining 9 .3 acre site. The original cost for the relocation was to
be $246,000. That number is now increased by 3-5% due to the lapse of time.
When we thought that we were acquiring the 9.3 acre site, this number made economic
sense since the cost could be spread over the entire 11 acres. Since that is no longer
possible, we need to seek either a dollar sharing arrangement with the City to complete
the relocation or we need to obtain an alternative method to get the power relocated to
our site using the existing lines.
In our Friday discussion, we could leave the existing poles and pay approximately
$110,000 to $122,000 to relocate the lines. The lines would then need to be relocated a
second time at an estimated additional cost of $246,000 by either the City or the eventual
developer of the remaining 9.3 acre property when it is sold.
It is our feeling that doing the relocation now, and only once, is in the best interests of
Consumers, the City, and ourselves. This would allow all the relocation problems to be
resolved for the whole area at this time. It would permit the city to increase the price of
the property since neither they nor the new developer would be paying $246,000 for
another relocation at a later date. It would also allow for the power clean up of the area
in concert with all the associated improvements that are being completed for the Terrace
and Shoreline Drive projects.

To expedite the process, Terrace Development, L.L.C. would be willing to make a capital
contribution of$100,000, or a 40% contribution toward the entire power relocation ifit
can be done at this time. We feel that this contribution is equitable since we only own
approximately 15% of the land being improved. The city land (85%) will have its value
enhanced by over $209,000 of added value for an approximate capital contribution of
$150,000. This represents a 39% return on your capital.
As per our meeting of last week, we understand that the Council will need to decide this
issue. We would be happy to appear to discuss the issue with either city officials or the
Council. Consumer's is the driving force in our need to receive direction in the next
week. They need to start engineering and place us in the constrnction schedule as soon as
possible. Right now, the earliest that the work can be scheduled is late August of this
year. We need to have the building open for the bank no later that October 30, 2003.
Once the relocation is complete, we need 45 days to complete the remainder of the site
work and the paving for the parking lot. This cannot be accomplished until we are able to
remove the existing poles from our property, which, in tum, can be done until the
relocation is finished.
Should you wish to discuss this further with either myself or Michael Bowen, please feel
free to call us. Also, as soon as you are able to have an internal decision as to staff
recommendation to the Council, please advise us so we can complete discussions with
Consumer's.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Respectfully,

As a follow-up to my letter dated Jj!nuazy 11, 2002 and your letter dated April 16,
2002 (copies attached), Consumers Energy would like to relocate the 46kV power
line this summer. We have severaj poles in the line that we need to move for the
proposed Shoreline Drive and ifwr do these projects together, your cost would be
greatly reduced. The estimated co~t for your portion is $158,000, instead of
$205,000. In order for Conswners•Energy to give you this cost savings, we need the
following conditions met '
1. Consumers receives a $10,000 ~ayment from Westwood Construction by

· Dear Mr. Brendel
I
As requested from our meeting on Jan*ary I 0, 2002, the cost estimate to relocate the
primary overhead and underground di~tribution lines is $98,000. These costs are for the
relocation of the primary overhead distribution lines that are currently underbuilt on the
46 kV transmission line poles and the primary underground distribution cables that run
along the east side of Terrace Avenue fowards the railroad tracks.
11tis estimate is strictly conceptual in 1111ture and is our best guess estimate based on a
conceptual design, The actual final co~t is dependent on several parameters, including
final route, labor bids, materials, etc. 'the actual amount billed will be based on a more
accurate work order estimate (prepare1 after the design is complete).
These costs are based on the followin~ conditions:
l. The relocation of the overhead[primary distribution line that is currently built
underneath the 46 kV transmis~ion line. The new route will start at a mid span
pole located near the intersectibn of Western Ave and Pine Street and follow lhe
proposed 46 kV transmission line along Westem Avenue, then west on Terrace
Street to a riser pole, which fe~ds the underground primary distribution line.
2. The relocation of the undergroiind primary distribution line that currently follows
the property line along Terrac~ Avenue. The new line would follow the contour
of the new property line betwefn the new riser pole and the train track.
3. The estimate does not include ~y associated charges for supplying service to the
proposed building. Please cont~ct Henry Murphy 727-6515 for pricing.
!
4. Easements will be given to Co~sumers Energy at no cost.
5. The City of Muskegon will have rhe eastern side of Terrace Street closed west of
Morris Avenue to allow for th~ relocation of the underground primary distribution
line.,

Re: Muskegon City Hall
Boiler Selection
Architect Project No.: 01-867
Dear JR:
It was good to hear from you and we are encouraged to learn that City of Muskegon is proceeding with more
of the recommendations defined in our TEA report. We have reviewed the infonnation which you faxed to
us defining the several boiler options which have been proposed by your contractor. Based on our recent
experience, we have found several acceptable products among the non-condensing boilers of the low-mass
configuration. The type with fan assisted combustion and straight-through heat exchanger design provides
the best value for retrofit heating applications. On that basis, the PENNANT Series by Laars (we use
Lochinvar as our basis of design) would be our first choice if Tower Pinkster Titus were to be the designer of
record.
We recognize that there are two different sizes of the PENNANT model in the information which you faxed
to us. Selecting between these two is a design element of which we currently have no knowledge. We
recommend that services of a qualified design professional be secured relative to this part of the project. At
the very least, the City of Muskegon would benefit from involvement of such an entity in such matters of
design document and shop drawing submittal review. Tower Pinkster Titus would be pleased to develop a
proposal for such a work scope at your direction.

RE; Shoreline Drive Underground Storage Tank Removal
Muskegon, Michigan
Dear Mohammed;
Attached ls the revised bid tabulation, and the original proposals, for the above referenced project.
As shown on the attached table, the volume of liquid has been revised to more accurately depict
actual volumes. The change in volumes changed estimated fees significantly and Young's
Environmental Cleanup, Inc. is now the low bidder, with a base bid of $10,053.65.
We recommend that the contr<1ct for the Parcel 7S underground storage tank (UST) removal project
be awarded to the low bidder, Young's Environmental Cleanup, Inc. Northern A-1 has already been
informed of the change,
Upon council approval, please execute an agreement with Young's. If using their standard
conditions, it is our recommendation that you have the bracketed section under item 3 changed to
read that they shall perform in conformance with all current State and local regulations, including, but
not limited to OSHA, MODT, and MDEQ. In the meantime, we will be finalizing paperwork with the
State of Michigan. If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,

Re: Liquor License Request
Chief Kleibecker,
The Muskegon Police Department has received a request from the Michigan Liquor
Control Commission for an investigation from applicant Thomas A. Harris, 441 W.
Western, Muskegon, MI. 49440.
Thomas Harris is requesting a new full year Class C license issued under Downtown
Development Authority and to include the following: Dance-Entertainment Permit,
Official Permit (food), 2 bars, and Add Outdoor Service. Mr. Ha1Tis has made prior
application for ownership of another licensed alcohol service establishment, 450 W.
Western, and has prior experience in business ownership. Mr. Hanis has been made
aware of the Muskegon Police Departments position on enforcing local alcohol laws and
ordinances.
The City of Muskegon has already approved the liquor license under D.D.A. but approval
is needed for the Add Outdoor Service Permit. A check of MPD records and Criminal
History showed no reason to deny this request.
Respectfully submitted,
Det. Kmi Dylrman
