                      Resolution to Request a Renaissance Recovery Zone


WHEREAS, the City of Muskegon desires to promote economic activity and maintain/increase
the number of jobs available to residents of the area, and;

WHEREAS, certain industries in the state are facing difficult times and the tool and die industry,
in particular, has sustained losses due to foreign competition and increased productivity;

WHEREAS, the designation of a Renaissance Recovery Zone will temporarily reduce the tax
burden paid by the business enabling it to reposition itself to compete globally, and;

WHEREAS, the business has entered into a collaborative agreement with other business entities
having the appropriate North American industrial classification, and;

WHEREAS, the qualified tool and die business property is property leased or owned by a tool
and die business and used primmily for tool and die operations;

WHEREAS, should the area be designated a Renaissance Recovery Zone, property within that
zone will be exempt from taxes levied by the city, county, and other units of government as
provided under this Act, and;

WHEREAS, we estimate that the tax revenue lost, which is estimated on the attached schedule,
would be a small fraction of the benefits the designation of a Renaissance Recovery Zone will
bring the community.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Muskegon requests that the State of
Michigan designate Aero Foil International, Inc., 1839 6'h Street, Muskegon MI 49441, Propetiy

responsibility. Federal Aid may be withheld until such time as deficiencies in regulations have

        8.      The performance of the entire PROJECT under this contract, whether Federally
funded or not, will be subject to the provisions and requirements of PART II that are applicable
to a Federally funded project.

        9.     The REQUESTING PARTY certifies that a) it is a person under 1995 PA 71 and
is not aware of and has no reason to believe that the prope1iy is a facility as defined in MSA
13A.20101(1)(1); b) the REQUESTING PARTY further certifies that it has completed the tasks
required by MCL 324.20126 (3)(h); MSA 13A.20126(3)(h); c) it conducted a visual inspection
of prope11y within the existing right of way on which construction is to be performed to
determine if any hazardous substances were present; and at sites on which historically were
located businesses that involved hazardous substances, it performed a reasonable investigation to
determine whether hazardous substances exist. This reasonable investigation should include, at a
minimum, contact with local, state and federal environmental agencies to determine if the site
has been identified as, or potentially as, a site containing hazardous substances; d) it did not
cause or contribute to the release or threat of release of any hazardous substance found within the
PROJECT limits.

        The REQUESTING PARTY also certifies that, in addition to repmiing the presence of
any hazardous substances to the Department of Environmental Quality, it has advised the
DEPARTMENT of the presence of any and all hazardous substances which the REQUESTING
PARTY found within the PROJECT limits, as a result of performing the investigation and visual
inspection required herein. The REQUESTING PARTY also certifies that it has been unable to
identify any entity who may be liable for the cost of remediation. As a result, the
REQUESTING PARTY has included all estimated costs of remediation of such hazardous
substances in its estimated cost of construction of the PROJECT.

         I 0.   If, subsequent to execution of this contract, previously unknown hazardous
substances are discovered within the PROJECT limits, which require environmental remediation
pursuant to either state or federal law, the REQUESTING PARTY, in addition to reporting that
fact to the Department of Environmental Quality, shall immediately notify the DEPARTMENT,
both orally and in writing of such discovery. The DEPARTMENT shall consult with the
REQUESTING PARTY to determine if it is willing to pay for the cost of remediation and, with
the FHWA, to determine the eligibility, for reimbursement, of the remediation costs. The
REQUESTING PARTY shall be charged for and shall pay all costs associated with such
remediation, including all delay costs of the contractor for the PROJECT, in the event that
remediation and delay costs are not deemed eligible by the FHWA. If the REQUESTING
PARTY refuses to participate in the cost of remediation, the DEPARTMENT shall terminate the
PROJECT. The parties agree that any costs or damages that the DEPARTMENT incurs as a
result of such termination shall be considered a PROJECT COST.

        II.     If federal and/or state funds administered by the DEPARTMENT are used to pay
the cost of remediating any hazardous substances discovered after the execution of this contract
and if there is a reasonable likelihood of recovery, the REQUESTING PARTY, in cooperation
with the Department of Environmental Quality and the DEPARTMENT, shall make a diligent
effort to recover such costs from all other possible entities. If recovery is made, the
DEPARTMENT shall be reimbursed from such recovery for the proportionate share of the
09/06190 STP.FOR 71712006                           5
amount paid by the FHWA and/or the DEPARTMENT and the DEPARTMENT shall credit
such sums to the appropriate funding source.

      12.     The DEPARTMENT'S sole reason for entering into this contract is to enable the
REQUESTING PARTY to obtain and use funds provided by the Federal Highway
Administration pursuant to Title 23 ofthe United States Code.

        Any and all approvals of, reviews of, and recommendations regarding contracts,
agreements, permits, plans, specifications, or documents, of any nature, or any inspections of
work by the DEPARTMENT or its agents pursuant to the terms of this contract are done to assist
the REQUESTING PARTY in meeting program guidelines in order to qualify for available
funds. Such approvals, reviews, inspections, and recommendations by the DEPARTMENT shall
not relieve the REQUESTING PARTY of its ultimate control and shall not be construed as a
warranty of their propriety or that the DEPARTMENT is assuming any liability, control, or
jurisdiction.

        The providing of recommendations or advice by the DEPARTMENT or its agents does
not relieve the REQUESTING PARTY and the local agencies, as applicable of their exclusive
jurisdiction of any of their highways and responsibility under MCL 691.1402, MSA 3.996(102).

     When providing approvals, reviews and recommendations under this contract, the
DEPARTMENT or its agents is performing a goverrunental function, as that term is defined in
MCL 691.1401; MSA 3 .996(1 01 ), which is incidental to the completion of the PROJECT.

        13.    The DEPARTMENT, by executing this contract, and rendering services pursuant
to this contract, has not and does not assume jurisdiction of any REQUESTING PARTY
highway for purposes of MCL 691.1402; MSA 3.996(102). Exclusive jurisdiction of such
highway for the purposes of MCL 691.1402; MSA 3.996(102) rests with the REQUESTING
PARTY and other local agencies having respective jurisdiction.

         14.    The REQUESTING PARTY agrees that the costs repmied to the DEPARTMENT
for this contract will represent only those items that are properly chargeable in accordance with
this contract. The REQUESTING PARTY also certifies that it has read the contract terms and
has made itself aware of the applicable laws, regulations, and terms of this contract that apply to
the reporting of costs incurred under the terms of this contract.

        15.    The parties shall promptly provide comprehensive assistance and cooperation in
defending and resolving any claims brought against the DEPARTMENT by the contractor,
vendors or suppliers as a result of the DEPARTMENT'S award of the construction contract for
the PROJECT. Costs incurred by the DEPARTMENT in defending or resolving such claims
shall be considered PROJECT COSTS.

       16.     The DEPARTMENT shall require the contractor who is awarded the contract for
the construction of the PROJECT to provide insurance in the amounts specified and in
accordance with the DEPARTMENT'S current Standard Specifications for Construction and to:

                   REQUESTING PARTY and any other county, county road commission,
                   or municipality in whose jurisdiction the PROJECT is located, and their
                   employees, for the duration of the PROJECT and to provide, upon request,
                   copies of certificates of insurance to the insureds. It is understood that the
                   DEPARTMENT does not assume either ownership of any portion of the
                   PROJECT or jurisdiction of any REQUESTING PARTY highway as a
                   result of being named as an insured on the owner's protective liability
                   insurance policy.

             C.    Comply with the requirements of notice of cancellation and reduction of
                   insurance set forth in the current standard specifications for construction
                   and to provide, upon request, copies of notices and reports prepared to
                   those insured.

      work performance, may cancel the PROJECT, or any portion thereof, and upon written
      notice to the parties this contract shall be void and of no effect with respect to that cancelled
      portion of the PROJECT. Any PROJECT deposits previously made by the parties on the
      cancelled portions of the PROJECT will be promptly refunded.

             RECORDS at any reasonable time after giving reasonable notice.

             If any part of the work is subcontracted, the REQUESTING PARTY shall assure
             compliance with the above for all subcontracted work.

             In the event that an audit performed by or on behalf of the D EP AR TMENT indicates
             an adjustment to the costs reported under this contract, or questions the allowability
             of an item of expense, the DEPARTMENT shall promptly submit to the
             REQUESTING PARTY, a Notice of Audit Results and a copy of the audit report
             which may supplement or modifY any tentative findings verbally communicated to
             the REQUESTING PARTY at the completion of an audit.

             Within sixty (60) days after the date of the Notice of Audit Results, the
             REQUESTING PARTY shall: (a) respond in writing to the responsible Bureau or the
             DEPARTMENT indicating whether or not it concurs with the audit report, (b) clearly
             explain the nature and basis for any disagreement as to a disallowed item of expense
             and, (c) submit to the DEPARTMENT a written explanation as to any questioned or
             no opinion expressed item of expense, hereinafter referred to as the "RESPONSE".
             The RESPONSE shall be clearly stated and provide any supporting documentation
             necessary to resolve any disagreement or questioned or no opinion expressed item of
             expense. Where the documentation is voluminous, the REQUESTING PARTY may
             supply appropriate excerpts and make alternate arrangements to conveniently and


03-15-93                                       7
           reasonably make that documentation available for review by the DEPARTME~T.
           The RESPONSE shall refer to and apply the language of the contract. The
           REQUESTING PARTY agrees that failure to submit a RESPONSE within the sixty
           (60) day period constitutes agreement with any disallowance of an item of expense
           and authorizes the DEPARTMENT to finally disallow any items of questioned or no
           opinion expressed cost.

           The DEPARTMENT shall make its decision with regard to any Notice of Audit
           Results and RESPONSE within one hundred twenty ( 120) days after the date of the
           Notice of Audit Results. If the DEPARTMENT determines that an overpayment has
           been made to the REQUESTING PARTY, the REQUESTING PARTY shall repay
           that amount to the DEPARTMENT or reach agreement with the DEPARTMENT on
           a repayment schedule within thirty (30) days after the date of an invoice from the
           DEPARTMENT. If the REQUESTING PARTY fails to repay the overpayment or
           reach agreement with the DEPARTMENT on a repayment schedule within the thirty
           (30) day period, the REQUESTING PARTY agrees that the DEPARTMENT shall
           deduct all or a portion of the overpayment from any funds then or thereafter payable
           by the DEPARTMENT to the REQUESTING PARTY under this contract or any
           other agreement, or payable to the REQUESTING PARTY under the terms ofl951
           PA 51, as applicable. Interest will be assessed on any partial payments or repayment
           schedules based on the unpaid balance at the end of each month until the balance is
           paid in full. The assessment of interest will begin thirty (30) days from the date of
           the invoice. The rate of interest will be based on the Michigan Department of
           Treasury common cash funds interest earnings. The rate of interest will be reviewed
           annually by the DEPARTMENT and adjusted as necessary based on the Michigan
           Department of Treasury common cash funds interest earnings. The REQUESTING
           PARTY expressly consents to this withholding or offsetting of funds under those
           circumstances, reserving the right to file a lawsuit in the Court of Claims to contest
           the DEPARTMENT'S decision only as to any item of expense the disallowance of
           which was disputed by the REQUESTING PARTY in a timely filed RESPONSE.

           The REQUESTING PARTY shall comply with the Single Audit Act of 1984, P.L.
           98-502.

              DEPARTMENT incurred portion of the PROJECT work exceeds the estimated cost
              therefor as established by this contract, the REQUESTING PARTY may be advised
              and billed for the additional amount of its share.

C.     General Conditions:

       I.     The DEPARTMENT, in accordance with its procedures in existence and covering
              the time period involved, shall make payment for interest earned on the balance of

              interest incurred, the REQUESTING PARTY promises and shall promptly pay the
              DEPARTMENT said amount.

      2.     Pmsuant to the authority granted by law, the REQUESTING PARTY hereby
             irrevocably pledges a sufficient amount of funds received by it from the Michigan
             Transportation Fund to meet its obligations as specified in PART I and PART II. If
             the REQUESTING PARTY shall fail to make any of its required payments when
             due, as specified herein, the DEPARTMENT shall immediately notifY the
             REQUESTING PARTY and the State Treasurer of the State of Michigan or such
             other state officer or agency having charge and control over disbursement of the
             Michigan Transportation Fund, pursuant to law, of the fact of such default and the
             amount thereof, and, if such default is not cured by payment within ten (I 0) days,
             said State Treasurer or other state officer or agency is then authorized and directed
             to withhold from the first of such monies thereafter allocated by law to the
             REQUESTING PARTY from the Michigan Transportation Fund sufficient monies
             to remove the default, and to credit the REQUESTING PARTY with payment
             thereof, and to notifY the REQUESTING PARTY in writing of such fact.

             repay the DEPARTMENT for any disallowed items of costs previously disbursed by
             the DEPARTMENT. The REQUESTING PARTY pledges its future receipts from
             the Michigan Transportation Fund for repayment of all disallowed items and, upon
             failure to make repayment for any disallowed items within ninety (90) days of
             demand made by the DEPARTMENT, the DEPARTMENT is hereby authorized to
             withhold an equal amount from the REQUESTING PARTY'S share of any future
             distribution of Michigan Transportation Funds in settlement of said claim.

                                         SECTION IV

                             MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION


A.    Upon completion of construction of each part of the PROJECT, at no cost to the
      DEPARTMENT or the PROJECT, each of the parties hereto, within their respective
      jurisdictions, will make the following provisions for the maintenance and operation of the
      completed PROJECT:

       I.    All Projects:

             Properly maintain and operate each part of the project, making ample provisions each
             year for the performance of such maintenance work as may be required, except as
             qualified in paragraph 2b of this section.

      2.     Projects Financed in Part with Federal Monies:

             a.      Sign and mark each part of the PROJECT, in accordance with the current
                     Michigan Manual ofUniform Traffic control Devices, and will not install, or
                     permit to be installed, any signs, signals or markings not in conformance with
                     the standards approved by the FHWA, pursuant to 23 USC I 09( d).

             b.      Remove, prior to completion of the PROJECT, all encroachments from the
                     roadway right-of-way within the limits of each part of the PROJECT.

                     With respect to new or existing utility installations within the right-of-way
                     of Federal Aid projects and pursuant to FAPG (23 CFR 645B): Occupancy
                     of non-limited access right-of-waymay be allowed based on consideration for
                     traffic safety and necessary preservation of roadside space and aesthetic
                     quality. Longitudinal occupancy of non-limited access right-of-way by
                     private lines will require a finding of significant economic hardship, the
                     unavailability of practicable alternatives or other extenuating circumstances.

             c.     Cause to be enacted, maintained and enforced, ordinances and regulations for
                    proper traffic operations in accordance with the plans of the PROJECT.

             d.     Make no changes to ordinances or regulations enacted, or traffic controls
                    installed in conjunction with the PROJECT work without prior review by the
                    DEPARTMENT and approval of the FHWA, if required.




03-15-93                                      13
B.     On projects for the removal of roadside obstacles, the parties', upon completion of
       construction of each part of the PROJECT, at no cost to the PROJECT or the
       DEPARTMENT, will, within their respective jurisdictions, take such action as is necessary
       to assure that the roadway right-of-way, cleared as the PROJECT, will be maintained free
       of such obstacles.

C.     On projects for the construction of bikeways, the parties will enact no ordinances or
       regulations prohibiting the use of bicycles on the facility hereinbefore described as the
       PROJECT, and will amend any existing restrictive ordinances in this regard so as to allow
       use of this facility by bicycles. No motorized vehicles shall be permitted on such bikeways
       or walkways constructed as the PROJECT except those for maintenance purposes.

D.    Failure of the parties hereto to fulfill their respective responsibilities as outlined herein may
      disqualifY that party from future Federal-aid participation in projects on roads or streets for
      which it has maintenance responsibility. Federal Aid may be withheld until such time as
      deficiencies in regulations have been corrected, and the improvements constructed as the
      PROJECT are brought to a satisfactory condition of maintenance.

      will require similar covenants on the part of any contractor or subcontractor employed in the
      performance of this contract.

E.    The parties will carry out the applicable requirements of the DEPARTMENT'S

                           Getty Street, Keating Ave. to Hovey Ave.

The reconstruction of Getty Street between Keating Ave. & Hovey Ave., see attached exhibit for
location, was initiated by both the City of Muskegon and Muskegon HTS due to surface
conditions. this project was approved for over $560,000 in federal and state grants. The existing
pavement has deteriorated to a level where, we believe, a total reconstruction is necessary. The
proposed improvements (reconstruction) consist of following;

1. Complete removal of existing pavement and replace with a new asphalt street section that
   would include curb & gutter on both sides and a proposed width (matching existing) of 44'
   back to back .
2. New storm sewer where needed.
3. Sanitary sewer repairs by Muskegon HTS.
4. Minor water works

A memo from the Assessor's office, which addresses the appraisal and benefit infonnation, is
attached.

The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is $650,000 with the length of
the project being approximately 2700 lineal feet (project length) or 2258.94'of assessable
footage. This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $33 per assessable foot. The
assessment figure will be at a cost not to exceed $32.00 per assessable foot as established in the
2006 Special Assessment Rates for this type of improvement

I   Mr. AI-Shatel:
    In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment

I   district entailing the reconstruction of Getty Street between Keating Avenue and
    Hovey Avenue. The purpose of this analysis is to document the reasonableness of this
    special assessment district by identifYing and quantifYing any accrued benefits. It is
I   subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power and
    eminent domain. The effective date is July 25, 2006.
    In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
I   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 commercial
    properties. The front foot rate of$32.00 for the reconstruction of the above
    mentioned project area appears reasonable in light of an analysis that indicates a
    possible enhancement of$33.00. The conclusions are based upon the data presented
    within this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my
    files.

The City of Muskegon is asking for your support for improvement of the street adjoining your
property located at PROPERTY ADDRESS.

The City of Muskegon believes that by making the proposed street improvements you will
have less road noise, dust, and wear and tear on your vehicle. In addition, street
improvements provide easier access for delivery of services such as snow plowing, mail
delivery, and bus service.

Called a special assessment district, the largest percentage of the proposed street
improvement will be paid for by the City of Muskegon (via local funds and or grants); however,
it will be necessary for you to cover a share of the cost (which you can spread over a period of
ten years) based on the amount of property you own bordering the street. A description of the
project, including the associated cost to you and the City, is located in the documents
attached to this letter.

While the City of Muskegon believes that the proposed improvements will result in a safer and
cleaner street while adding curb appeal to your property, you do have the right to ask further
questions or protest participation in this particular project. Please carefully review the
enclosed materials and call the City's Engineering Department at 724-6707 if you require
more information.

A public hearing is also scheduled for this project on AUGUST 8, 2006. If you attend this
public hearing you will be given an opportunity to make comments on the proposed special
assessment district to the commission.

Also located in this packet of materials is a Special Assessment Hearing Response Card. If
mailed back to the City of Muskegon City Clerk's Office before the scheduled public hearing
your vote will be added to the tabulation of votes during the public hearing. If you do not send
in this form your vote counts as "in favor" of the project.

Thank you for your participation in improving the quality of life in the Muskegon community.

street improvements. In addition, you will be assessed $1312.36 for driveway approach and/or sidewalk
improvements made to your property for a total special assessment cost of $2744.31 Following are the
terms of the special assessment:

                                 Assessment Period: Ten (10) Years
                                       Interest Rate: 5% per year

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

II. Installment Payments
Assessments not paid within the first sixty (60) days may be paid in installments over several years as follows:

       Street and Alley Assessments- Ten (1 0) years equal annual principal payments. For example, if the
       amount of your assessment is $850.00, you will be billed $85.00 per year plus applicable interest as
       described below.

       Driveway, Sidewalk, and Approach Assessments- Ten (1 O) 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.

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.

       Assessments shall be made upon front foot basis.

4.     Based on the City's Special Assessment policy and preliminary estimates it is expected
       that no more than 25% of the cost of the street improvement will be paid by special
       assessments.

5.     Upon submission of the special assessment roll, the City staff is hereby directed to notify
       all owners and persons interested in properties to be assessed of the hearing at which the
       City Commission will consider confinnation of the special assessment roll.

improvements made to your property for a total special assessment cost of $3102.64 Following are the
terms of the special assessment:

                                 Assessment Period: Ten (10) Years

II. Installment Payments
Assessments not paid within the first sixty (60) days may be paid in installments over several years as follows:

           Driveway, Sidewalk, and Approach Assessments- Ten (1 0) years equal annual principal payments
           plus applicable interest as described below.

           Interest- Simple interest is charged at the rate of 5.00% per year unless the City has borrowed money
           to complete the project for which you are assessed and has pledged you assessments for repayment of
           the borrowed money. In such cases, the interest you are charged is equal to the interest rate the City

                     Resolution At First Hearing Creating Special Assessment District
                                   For Forest Ave., Davis to Ruddiman
                          Location and Description of Properties to be Assessed:
                                 See Exhibit A attached to this resolution


 RECITALS:

 I.        A hearing has been held on January 24, 2006 at 5:30 o'clock p.m. at the City
           Commission Chambers. Notice was given by mail and publication as required by
           law.

 2.        That estimates of costs of the project, a feasibility report and valuation and benefit
           information are on file with the City and have been reviewed for this hearing.

 3.        At the hearing held January 24,2006, there were 17.67% objections by the owners of
           the property in the district registered at the hearing either in writing received before or at
           the hearing or by owners or agents present at the hearing, and the Commission has
           considered the advisability of proceeding with the project.

 FINDINGS:

 I.        The City Commission has examined the estimates of cost to construct the project
           including all assessable expenses and determines them to be reasonable.

 2.        The City Commission has considered the value of the property to be assessed and the
           value of the benefit to be received by each prope1iy proposed to be assessed in the district
           after the improvements have been made. The City Commission detennines that the
           assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the value of the prope1iies to be
           assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the improvement
           thereby constitutes a benefit to the property.

 THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

 1.        The City Commission hereby declares a special assessment district to include the
           property set forth in Exhibit A attached to this resolution.

 2.        The City Commission determines to proceed with the improvements as set forth in the
           feasibility study and estimates of costs, and directs the City Engineer to proceed with
           project design, preparation of specifications and the bidding process. If appropriate and
           if bonds are to be sold for the purposes of financing the improvements, the Finance
           Department shall prepare plans for financing including submission of application to the
           Michigan Department of Treasury and the beginning of bond proceedings.
 3.        The City Commission hereby appoints a Board of Assessors consisting of City
       Commissioners      Davis                              and _ _,_,_
                                                                      W""'"ie~r""'e"'-'n"-.:g"-"o"-------
       and the City Assessor who are hereby directed to prepare an assessment roll.
       Assessments shall be made upon front foot basis.

4.     Based on the City's Special Assessment policy and preliminary estimates it is expected
       that approximately 15.81% of the cost of the street improvement will be paid by special
       assessments.

5.     Upon submission ofthe special assessment roll, the City staff is hereby directed to notify
       all owners and persons interested in properties to be assessed of the hearing at which the
       City Commission will consider confirmation of the special assessment roll.

\ENOINE~'_~:~~ENT~                             Resolution No. 2006-09 (c)


                        Resolution At First Hearing Creating Special Assessment District
                                 For Sixth Street from Houston to Muskegon
                             Location and Description of Properties to be Assessed:
                                    See Exhibit A attached to this resolution


        RECITALS:

        I.    A hearing has been held on January 24, 2006 at 5:30 o'clock p.m. at the City
              Commission Chambers. Notice was given by mail and publication as required by
              law.

        2.   That estimates of costs of the project, a feasibility report and valuation and benefit
             information are on file with the City and have been reviewed for this hearing.

        3.   At the hearing held January 24,2006, there were 27.61% objections by the owners of
             the property in the district registered at the hearing either in writing received before or at
             the hearing or by owners or agents present at the hearing, and the Commission has
             considered the advisability of proceeding with the project.

        FINDINGS:

        I.   The City Commission has examined the estimates of cost to construct the project
             including all assessable expenses and detennines them to be reasonable.

        2.   The City Commission has considered the value of the property to be assessed and the
             value of the benefit to be received by each property proposed to be assessed in the district
             after the improvements have been made. The City Commission determines that the
             assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the value of the properties to be
             assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the improvement
             thereby constitutes a benefit to the property.

        THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

             prope1ty set fmth in Exhibit A attached to this resolution.

        2.   The City Commission determines to proceed with the improvements as set forth in the
             feasibility study and estimates of costs, and directs the City Engineer to proceed with
             project design, preparation of specifications and the bidding process. If appropriate and
             if bonds are to be sold for the purposes of financing the improvements, the Finance
             Department shall prepare plans for financing including submission of application to the
             Michigan Department of Treasury and the beginning of bond proceedings.
        3.   The City Commission hereby appoints a Board of Assessors consisting of City
             Commissioners          carter                             and __S::ch:::.e::_opcch.:ce:..::r:..::d:___

       and the City Assessor who are hereby directed to prepare an assessment roll.
