questions that needed to be cleared up. When we did not hear anything by

funds will be spent for community gardens at Marquette School, Aamodt Park and
Steele School. They are working on some additional projects, as well. The attached
Agreement outlines the process for reimbursement.

II.     BACKGROUND:
In March of 2009, PHMC was awarded funding from NACCHO to support the formation of a
Community Health Action and Response Team (CHART) in the neighborhood of Jackson Hill in
the City of Muskegon. Under this agreement, PHMC partnered with Jackson Hill neighborhood
residents as well as the City of Muskegon and attended a series of trainings (coaches meeting in
April 2009 and a CHART meeting in July of 2009) targeted at introducing and encouraging the
understanding of the relationship between the current and future health status of residents and
how current environmental conditions can play a role in the health of residents. As a final
deliverable for the grant of March 2009, the CHART was asked to produce a Community Action
Plan (CAP) to address community needs. The approved CAP is attached to this Agreement and
incorporated by reference.

PHMC was awarded funding to support the implementation of the CAP as approved by
NACCHO. For reasons of efficiency, PHMC has requested that the City of Muskegon provide
oversight of activities and expenditures as well as provide needed services at cost to the
Muskegon Jackson Hill CHART to implement and execute the NACCHO approved CAP.

III.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
PHMC will reimburse the City of Muskegon for all associated costs up to the amount of
$23,750.00 as described in the approved CAP. These activities include, but are not limited to,

fees, and printing. The City of Muskegon should reference account number 6443 when
requesting reimbursement from PHMC.

reimbursement, must include initials (signifying approval) of CHART president, treasurer, and
secretary.

IV.     AGREEMENT TERM:
The term of this agreement shall begin October 1, 2009 and shall continue in effect until

Re:      Selection of Vinyl Siding Supplier for
         Fiscal Year 2010 – 2011
____________________________________________________________

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the Community and Neighborhood
Services department’s selection of the Vinyl Siding Supplier for 2010 – 2011 fiscal
year. After reviewing all bids, the department selected the bid from Keene
Lumber, located at 346 W. Laketon Avenue, Muskegon, MI, for the price of $48.00
(forty-eight dollars) per building square for white and $50.00 (fifty dollars) per
square for color.

The Community and Neighborhood Services department received three additional
bids from:
• Premier Building Products                   $53.75 for white
   2151 S. Harvey, Muskegon                   $53.75 for color
• Sethco Lumber                               $69.99 for white
   4566 Apple Ave, Muskegon                   $72.99 for color
• Weber Lumber Co.                            $51.00 for white
   465 Ottawa, Muskegon                       $51.00 for color

The above documentation shows the closeness of all the bids; but, because of the
long-term relationship with Keene Lumber as well as them being located in the
City of Muskegon, CNS has selected Keene Lumber to be the 2010-2011 Vinyl
Siding supplier for this fiscal year.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding will be disbursed from the 2010 – 2011
Community Development Block Grant Vinyl Siding fund.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve request.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The funding for the Vinyl Siding Program
was approved by the Commission during the 2010 – 2011 allocation period last
April.

                                 MEMORANDUM

                                      8/18/10

TO:           M. AL-SHATEL, DIRECTOR

FROM:        R. VENEKLASEN, WATER FILTRATION

RE:           HIGH SERVICE PUMP #5 MOTOR BEARING REPLACEMENT


High service pump #5 is one of seven pumps of differing capacities that pump
the finished drinking water to the City’s water distribution system. The pump
motor is a 450 Hp of medium voltage (1289 volt) and weighs 4,580 pounds.
Pump #5 is rated at 10 million gallons per day capacity. This pump was installed
as part of the 2004 improvements project but is past its warranty period.

Plant staff has previously attempted to solicit bids for the bearing replacement
and have experienced reconsiderations from motor repair contractors due to the
difficulty of removing the motor from the pump and subsequent handling to
remove it from the building.

As a result we have released a price bid request to insure all participants are
bidding on the same project requirements. The bid request is attached.

The bids received are as follows:

Wylie Electric Motor Service Inc.         $8,321.62
331 Carmen Drive
Ferrysburg, MI 49409

Jones Electric                            $8,750.00
1965 Sanford St.
Muskegon, MI 49441

EMS Grand Rapids                          $12,408.15
1057 Cottage Grove
Grand Rapids, MI 49507

Please note the bid from Jones Electric is their original dated 8/11/10. They did
not respond to the “Request for Price Quotation” with an updated bid.

Based on the bids received it is my recommendation that we have Wylie Electric
perform the bearing replacement on high service pump #5 at the Water Filtration
Plant for a cost of $8,321.62.

with the findings of the Housing Board of Appeals that the structure located at
1237 PINE ST Area 11 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

Case# & Project Address: # EN100051 - 1237 PINE ST

State Equalized value:     $ 9,500(Entire property)

Estimated cost to repair: $10,000 Exterior Only

SUMMARY FOR: 1237 PINE ST


This property is a wood framed, two story, single family dwelling.
This building was damaged in a fire in April 2010.
The attached garage was extensively damaged in the fire and caused damage to the main
structure, including the roof and exterior siding, an interior inspection was requested but
none has occurred as of this date.
There has been no attempt by the property owner to effect the necessary repairs, and the
home is becoming an attractive nuisance. If left in its current state, it is unlikely that this
building will be rehabilitated and will continue to be a blighting influence on the
neighborhood.
