Memorandum
To:      Mayor and Commissioners

From: Frank Peterson

Re:      City Commission Meeting

Date: October 4, 2018

Here is a quick outline of the items on our very full agenda(s):

WORK SESSION

      1. Dave Alexander will be in attendance to give the Commission an update on happenings
         downtown.
      2. Staff has come to a tentative agreement with the SEIU clerical unit related to their
         contract, which is expiring at the end of 2019. You’ll notice similar themes in this contract
         as we have seen in others (pension changes, vacation changes, residency bonuses, etc.).
         This group has historically be one of the lower compensated groups. As part of this
         agreement, we are implementing a wage realignment that eliminates the five lowest
         steps in the wage scale. Previously, we have had to start our clerical staff at $12.98 an
         hour, and that has made it difficult to attract talent in today’s job market. The new
         agreement will allow us to start clerical staff at $15.60 an hour and top out at $20.26 an
         hour. For comparison purposes, a laborer in the public works department will start at
         $17.24 an hour in 2019 and top out at $19.85 an hour.
      3. Staff is asking that the Commission consider making an amendment to the water supply
         agreement with Roosevelt Park, North Muskegon, and Muskegon County. We are asking
         to a temporary reduction in the multiplier charged to these municipalities.
      4. We need to have a conversation about the roof and HVAC/Dehumidification at the arena.
         We have about $1.5 Million in repairs needed.
      5. Staff would like to have a discussion on attached housing in the downtown and near
         downtown neighborhoods. This topic is also on the Planning Commission agenda. Staff
         is looking for a little direction to follow over the next 1-5 years. Staff believes that our
         downtown neighborhoods can and should support a wide variety of housing – both
         market rate and income restricted. Projects like affordable housing (especially LIHTC-
         funded housing) typically needs to be planned/approved a number of years before it can
         be completed and made available to residents; knowing that, if we believe there is a need
      for this type of housing in the next five years, decisions would likely be needed in 2019
      and 2020.
   6. The season is coming to an end at Fisherman’s Landing. We’d like to talk about how the
      season went and how we think we can further improve the camping experience in
      Muskegon.

REGULAR MEETING

   1. Under Honors and Awards Oneata will be here to talk about the city’s new lead grant.
   2. Under the Consent Agenda, we are asking the Commission to consider the following:
         a. Approval of meeting minutes from the most-recent City Commission meeting.
         b. Authorization to purchase and install ice protection equipment for the farmer’s
             market roof.
         c. Purchase of a leaf blower for the public works department
         d. Authorization to enter into an agreement to undertake sewer lining on Evanston
             and Oak Grove sewers.
         e. Authorization to replace a pump at the Getty Street Lift Station
         f. Authorization to enter into a construction and maintenance agreement with
             MDOT for Remembrance Drive.
         g. Authorization to begin waste water collection system evaluation.
         h. Approval of first amendment to the municipal water supply agreement.
         i. Approval of the collective bargaining agreement with SEIU – Clerical Division.

   3. Under Public Hearings we will accept comments and are requesting approval of a
      resolution granting an Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate for KLO Acquisitions for
      a term of twelve (12) years for real property.


Let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns

       WHEREAS, Muskegon, North Muskegon, Roosevelt Park and County are parties to an Agreement
For Municipal Water Supply, dated as of October 1, 2012 (“Agreement”); and

        WHEREAS, Muskegon raised its residential water rates 4% effective July 1, 2018 and will increase
an additional 4% on July 1, 2019, July 1, 2020, July 1, 2021, and July 1, 2022; and

      WHEREAS, Muskegon, North Muskegon, Roosevelt Park and County wish to amend the
Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in this First Amendment (“First Amendment”).

       NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

       1.       INCORPORATION OF RECITALS AND DEFINED TERMS. The above recitals are hereby
incorporated into this First Amendment as if fully set forth herein.

       2.       RATES FOR WATER SUPPLY. The rate to be charged by Muskegon to North Muskegon,
Roosevelt Park and County as provided in Paragraph 3 of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:

       For the period of October 1, 2012 through June 30, 2018, the water supplied by Muskegon shall
       be paid for by each Buyer at a rate of 1.25 times the rate Muskegon charges a majority of its own
       commercial/industrial/residential customers within its corporate limits. For the period of July 1,
       2018 through June 30, 2023, the water supplied by Muskegon shall be paid for by each Buyer at
       a rate of 1.21 times the rate Muskegon charges a majority of its own
       commercial/industrial/residential customers within its corporate limits. For the period of Jul 1,
       2023 through June 30, 2024, the water supplied by Muskegon shall be paid for by each Buyer at
       a rate of 1.23 times the rate Muskegon charges a majority of its own
       commercial/industrial/residential customers within its corporate limits. For the period of July 1,
        2024, the water supplied by Muskegon shall be paid for by each Buyer at a rate of 1.25 times the
        rate Muskegon charges a majority of its own commercial/industrial/residential customers within
        its corporate limits. The charges for water supply shall be determined using the metered volume
        of water supplied to each Buyer.

                 3.1     Muskegon reserves the right to increase its rates to its own customers for water
        service, and in such event, Buyer’s rate shall increase as provided above.

                3.2    Any rate increase shall not be effective, unless otherwise agreed, until Muskegon
        has given Buyers 90 days written notice thereof.

                3.3     In the event any of the master meters fail to register the supply of water due to
        a breakdown or other failure, the charge for the water supply shall be determined by utilizing the
        average of the 30 day period prior to the breakdown. In the event the said measure is inaccurate
        because of a progressive breakdown or other reason, Muskegon reserves the right to use an
        average derived from a period of up to one year prior to the breakdown, in order to determine
        the charge for water supplied to that meter.

                 3.4    The current water rate-setting methodology employed by the City of Muskegon
        does not include a ready-to-serve (RTS) component. Should the City opt to return to a rate format
        that includes an RTS charge, the Parties may negotiate a new rate multiplier.

                3.5      The Parties may renegotiate the rate if Muskegon secures a substantial new
        municipal water customer (municipality). Muskegon may agree to sell water from its distribution
        system to any person or entity (including any municipal corporation or authority) outside
        Muskegon at a lesser rate than that payable hereunder, unless Buyer gives Muskegon written
        notice of unanimous disapproval within 90 days of receipt of a copy of the proposed agreement.
        In no event shall Muskegon sell water for less than Muskegon’s cost to produce and pump finished
        water.

         3.       Intermediary. Muskegon, North Muskegon and Roosevelt Park acknowledge that
Parmenter Law has represented Muskegon, North Muskegon and Roosevelt Park for many years and all
three parties consent to Parmenter law acting as an intermediary in providing legal services on this First
Amendment. County acknowledges that Parmenter Law does not represent the County. County had the
advice of legal counsel (or an opportunity to obtain the same) before entering into this First Amendment
and it is to be interpreted as if it were mutually drafted.

         Rule 2.2 of the Rules of Professional Conduct allows Parmenter Law to act as an intermediary in
this transaction provided that Parmenter Law consulted with each party concerning the decisions to be
made and the considerations relevant in making them, so that each party can make adequately
informed decisions.

        Parmenter Law reserves the right to withdraw from its representation in the event continued
representation of any party, in the sole opinion of Parmenter Law, would adversely affect its
relationship with any other party.
        4.     MISCELLANEOUS.
               4.1     Entire Agreement. This is the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the
subject matter of this First Amendment. It may not be modified or amended except in a written
amendment executed by both Parties.

                4.2      Construction. The terms of this First Amendment amend and modify the
Agreement as if fully stated therein.

                4.3    Ratification. All other provisions of the Agreement not specifically modified by
this First Amendment are preserved, confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.

                 4.4      Counterparts. This First Amendment may be signed in counterparts and delivered
electronically or by facsimile, and each such counterpart and delivery will be a binding and valid execution
and delivery of this First Amendment.

               4.5      Binding Nature. This First Amendment shall be binding upon the Parties and their
subrogees, successors, and permitted assigns.

                 4.6    Authority. Each of the undersigned who execute this document on behalf of an
entity represent and warrant that they are authorized by the appropriate agents, members, managers,
directors or stockholders of the entity for the purpose of binding the entity to the obligations of this Third
Amendment.

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT IS HEREBY EXECUTED ON THE DATE IDENTIFIED ABOVE.

I hereby certify that the foregoing constitutes a true and complete a resolution adopted by the Muskegon City
Commission, County of Muskegon, Michigan, at a regular meeting held on October 9, 2018.


                                                            ______________________________

                         CONTRACT FOR TAX ABATEMENT
                             Act 198 Public Acts of 1974


       AGREEMENT between CITY OF MUSKEGON, a municipal corporation of 933
Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan 49441, (“City”) and KLO Acquisition, LLC.
(“Company”).
Recitals:

A.      The Company has applied to City for the establishment of an industrial
development district or industrial rehabilitation district pursuant to the provisions of Act
198 of the Public Acts of 1974, as amended, which act requires a contract between the
City and the Company to be agreed and submitted with the Company’s subsequent
anticipated application for an industrial facilities exemption certificate.

B.       That in addition to the statutory requirement, the City has determined that it is in
the best interests of the taxpayers, property owners and residents of the City that this
Agreement be approved and executed prior to the establishment of the requested district,
and the City deems this Contract, together with the conditions set forth in the said Act to
constitute a necessary element in the City’s determination whether or not to create the
district.

C.      The Company intends to install the project set forth in its application (“project”)
which it believes qualifies for the process of establishing the district and the application
for industrial facilities exemption certificate.

D.      The City, provided this Agreement is executed, will determine whether to create
the district based upon the potential for the production of permanent jobs, the
continuation or increase of economic activity, planning and zoning considerations and the
City’s general plan and intentions regarding economic development. In addition to the
City policy considerations and predictions that the Company’s proposed district and
certificate benefit the community in those ways, the City has further determined that the
contractual commitments made by the Company to thereby assist the community shall be
binding on the Company and necessary to continue the tax exemption made possible by
the certificate.

       NOW THEREFORE THE PARTIES AGREE:

1.     COMPANY AGREEMENT.                  The Company irrevocably commits to the
investment, job retention and job creation promises made in its application, a copy of
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein. In particular the Company agrees:




                                                                                      Page 1
1.1    That 100% of the jobs shall be filled and in existence with full-time
employees by a date no later than two (2) years from the date of the granting of
the certificate by the State Tax Commission.

1.2     The Company shall meet the affirmative action goal included in the
application or in any documents supplied by the City and utilized by the

on or before the date two (2) years after the granting of the certificate by the State
Tax Commission. It shall maintain the said levels of employment diversity during
the period of the certificate.

1.3 The Company, by the end of two (2) years from the date of the grant of the
certificate by the State Tax Commission shall have completed the investment of
$17,166,206 in real property improvements as shown in the application.

1.4 That the improvements and equipment to receive the tax abatement treatment
shall be completed on or before the date two (2) years from the date of granting of

1.6 The Company shall not appeal the valuation of any real or personal property
at the facility to the Michigan Tax Tribunal or the State Tax Commission.

1.7     The Company shall fully cooperate with the City representatives in

Company’s premises where the said improvements and equipment have been
installed and where the said jobs are performed.

1.8 The Company shall maintain, during the entire period for which the tax
abatement is granted, the level of jobs, affirmative action goals, production and
utilization of the improvements and equipment at the site where the district has
been created and for which the tax exemption has been granted.

1.9 The Company shall not cause or fail to cure the release of any hazardous
substance, or the violation of any environmental law on its premises in the City.

and complete manner, and provide copies of said report documentation to the

having authority.

1.10 The Company shall maintain the equipment and improvements so as to
minimize physical or functional obsolescence.



                                                                              Page 2
       1.11 The Company shall continue to operate its business location in the City,
       containing the same number of and type of jobs, for the term of the certificate.

2.      AGREEMENT BY THE CITY. Provided this contract has been executed and
further provided all applications to create the district and achieve the industrial facility
exemption certificate have been properly filed, the City shall, in a timely manner,
determine in a public meeting to create the district and receive, process, and approve
thereafter the Company’s application for an industrial facilities exemption certificate.
The City may consider this contract in a meeting separate from and prior to the meeting

certificate. Further, the City shall require the submission of this contract signed by the
Company together with its applications, before creating the district.

considered events of default by the Company:

       3.1 Failure to meet any of the commitments set forth above.

       purpose of this Agreement, the removal, without transfer to another site within the

       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:



                                                                                     Page 3
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 certificate was in effect.

       4.1.2     Immediate Revocation. The Company hereby consents to
       revocation to the IFT 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
       notice that the default has occurred 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.

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.

4.5 Affirmative Action Goals. In the event, after one (1) 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.




                                                                              Page 4
     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 property 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.

5. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of Michigan applicable to contracts made and to be
performed within the State of Michigan.

Notwithstanding such execution all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same

respective parties, their successors and personal representatives.

Michigan Tax Commission grants the company at Industrial Facilities Exemption
