        2.     The cost of alteration, reconstruction and relocation, including plans thereof, of
certain publicly owned facilities and utilities which may be required for the construction of the
PROJECT, shall be included in the PROJECT COST; provided, however, that any part of such
cost determined by the DEPARTMENT, prior to the commencement of the work, to constitute a
betterment to such facility or utility, shall be borne wholly by the owner thereof.

        3.     The CITY shall make available to the PROJECT, at no cost, all lands required
thereof, now owned by it or under its control for purpose of completing said PROJECT. The
CITY shall approve all plans and specifications to be used on that portion of this PROJECT that

PROJECT which lies within the right of way under the control or ownership by the CITY shall
become part of the CITY facility upon completion and acceptance of the PROJECT and shall be
maintained by the CITY in accordance with standard practice at no cost to the DEPARTMENT.

       5.        The PROJECT COST shall be met in part by contributions from agencies of the
Federal Government. The balance of the PROJECT COST shall be charged to and paid by the
DEPARTMENT and the CITY in the following proportions and in the manner and at the times
hereinafter set ·forth:

from the total PROJECT COST prior to determining the CITY'S share. Such deduction will be
established from the applicable Federal-Aid matching ratio current at the time of acquisition.

this contract, the CITY shall make prompt payments of its share of the PROJECT COST upon
receipt of progress billings from the DEPARTMENT as herein provided. The CITY shall be
billed for their share of the preliminary engineering costs upon award of the PROJECT. All
payments will be made within 30 days ofreceipt of billings from the DEPARTMENT. Billings

sufficient amount of funds received by it from the Michigan Transportation Fund to meet its

herein, the DEPARTMENT shall immediately notify the CITY 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 (10) days, said
State Treasurer or other state officer or agency is then authorized and directed to withhold from
the first of such moneys thereafter allocated by law to the CITY from the Michigan
transportation Fund sufficient moneys to remove the default, and to credit the CITY with
payment thereof, and to notify the CITY in writing of such fact.

        10.     The DEPARTMENT shall secure from the Federal Government approval of
plans, specifications, and such cost estimates as may be required for the completion of the
PROJECT; and shall take all necessary steps to qualify for Federal Aid such costs of acquisition
of rights of way, construction, and reconstruction, including cost of surveys, design, construction
engineering, and inspection for the PROJECT as deemed appropriate. The DEPARTMENT may
elect not to apply for Federal Aid for portions of the PROJECT COST.

      11.    This contract is not intended to increase or decrease either party's liability, or
immunity from, tort claims.

       12.     All of the PROJECT work shall be done by the DEPARTMENT.

                                                  APPENDIXB

During the performance of this contract, the contractor, for itself, its assignees, and successors in interest
(hereinafter referred to as the "contractor") agrees as follows:

        nondiscrimination in Federally assisted programs of the Department of Transportation, Title 49, Code
        of Federal Regulations, Part 27, as they may be amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as
        the Regulations), which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract.

2.      Nondiscrimination: The contractor, with regard to the work performed by it during the contract, shall
        not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, or natural origin in the selection and retention of
        subcontractors, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment. The contractor shall not
        participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by Section 21.5 of the
        Regulations, including employment practices when the contract covers a program set forth in Appendix
        B of the Regulations.

3.      Solicitations for Subcontracts, Including Procurements of Materials and Equipment: In all solicitations
        either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the contractor for work to be performed under a
        subcontract, including procurements of materials or leases of equipment, each potential subcontractor
        or supplier shall be notified by the contractor of the contractor's obligations under this contract and the
        Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin.

4.      Information and Reports: The contractor shall provide all information and reports required by the

        such Regulations or directives. Where any information required of a contractor is in the exclusive
        possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish this information, the contractor shall so certify to
        the Michigan Department of Transportation, or the Federal Highway Administration as appropriate,
        and shall set forth what efforts it has made to obtain the information.

5.      Sanctions for Noncompliance:          In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the

       Regulations, or directives issued pursuant thereto. The contractor shall take such action with respect
       to any subcontract or procurement as the Michigan Department of Transportation or the Federal
       Highway Administration may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions fornon-
       compliance; provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with,
       litigation with a subcontractor or supplier as a result of such direction, the contractor may request the
       Michigan Department of Transportation to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the State,
       and, in addition, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the
       interests of the United States.
                                     APPENDIXC

              TO BE INCLUDED IN ALL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
                  AGREEMENTS WITH LOCAL AGENCIES

               Assurance that Recipients and Contractors Must Make
                (Excerpts from US DOT Regulation 49 CFR 26.13)


A.   Each financial assistance agreement signed with a DOT operating administration (or
     a primary recipient) must include the following assurance:

           The recipient shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
           national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any US
           DOT-assisted contract or in the administration of its DBE
           program or the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26. The recipient
           shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part
           26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration
           of US DOT-assisted contracts. The recipient's DBE program, as
           required by 49 CFR Part 26 and as approved by US DOT, is
           incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of
           this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its
           terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon
           notification to the recipient ofits failure to carry out its approved
           program, the department may impose sanctions as provided for
           under Part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for
           enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud
           Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.).

B.   Each contract MOOT signs with a contractor (and each subcontract the prime
     contractor signs with a subcontractor) must include the following assurance:

           The contractor, sub recipient or subcontractor shall not
           discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in
           the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out
           applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and
           administration of US DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the
           contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach
           of this contract, which may result in the termination of this
           contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems
           appropriate.

RE:           Request to Vacate Public Utility Rights and Abandon In
              Place Existing Utilities in Seaway Industrial Park


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

The City has vacated the public alleys located within the Seaway Industrial Park (see

acquired by the City to establish new parcels for industial development. As is policy in
the City, we retained easement rights in these alleys at the time they were vacated. It
is now necessary for construction on the effected parcels to take place, to vacate these
utility rights and abandon all in-place existing utilities in these vacated alleys.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

None.

For the Mayor and Clerk to sign the attached resolution approving the vacation of the
public utility rights and abandoning the in-place existing utilities.

I hereby_certify th~t the foregoing constitutes a true and complete copy of a resolution adopted
by the Ctty Comm1ss10n of the City of Muskegon, County of Muskegon, Michigan, at a regular
meetmg held on November 9, 2004.

Date:           November 9, 2004

To:             Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners

From:           Finance Director

RE:             Notice of Intent and Reimbursement Resolution - Possible Capital
                Improvement Bond Issue



SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City is faced with a number of important capital
project needs that likely will require debt financing: 1) new central fire station, 2) matching
funds for $1 million marina improvements grant, 3) funds to complete the lakeshore trail
project, 4) possible second ice sheet to replace Arena Annex ard help reduce Arena's
operating deficit, 5) funds for Fisherman's Landing facilities. The two attached resolutions
represent the first step in the bonding process and serve two purposes: 1) the "notice of intent
resolution" provides the necessary legal notice to the public of the possible bond issue and,
2) the "reimbursement resolution" provides a legal basis for the city to be reimbused from
bond proceeds for project costs incurred prior to bond issuance.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The only immediate cost associated with this action is the cost of
publication in the Chronicle. If bonds are issued, the projected amount will be $7 million to be
repaid over 20 years. Annual debt service is estimated to be $530,000 per year. The size of
the bond issue may be reduced by possible grant funding and/or land sale proceeds. Annual
debt service will be covered by a combination of sources including marina revenues (pending
state approval of our request for more seasonal slips); DOA tax increment revenues for
eligible projects located in the ODA area (i.e. annex, portion of trail), and general fund
resources anticipated to be made available by reducing/eliminating the LC Walker operating
deficit.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time. The cost of the newspaper
publication can be covered within the current budget. Once bonds are sold, debt service will
be budgeted over the life of the bonds (20 years).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the attached resolution.

         Dear Tim:

                I am sending you herewith attached and by regular mail a suggested form of
         reimbursement resolution and notice of intent resolution for the City's proposed bond
         project. The reimbursement resolution will protect the City up to $7,000,000 in
         previously incurred expenditures and I have assumed that you will want to place this on
         the agenda at the November 9th Commission meeting. If my assumption is incorrect,
         please advise and I will supply you with a resolution with a different date.

                Although it is possible to issue Building Authority bonds to pay for the projects
         that you have in mind, I think the most expeditious and cost effective means of financing
         would be the issuance of capital improvement bonds pursuant to Act 34 of the Public
         Acts of 200 l, as amended.

                As you will recall, the procedure begins with the adoption of a notice of intent
         resolution with the consequent 45-day referendum period.

                I have taken the liberty of drafting a resolution which speaks to the issuance of not
         to exceed $7,500,000 in bonds. I know this is more than you presently intend on
         borrowing. However, by using a higher amount, we reserve the option should the City's
         plans change.

                I have also drafted a notice of intent for the November 9 th meeting. Again, if you
         wish to change the date, please advise and I will supply with you with a new resolution.
                                  MILLER, CANFIELD, PADDOCK AND STONE, P.L.C.

Mr. Timothy J. Paul                                    -2-                      October 28, 2004


       As you will recall, the notice of intent, which is found in the body of the
resolution, must be published once in your local paper taking up no less than one-quarter
of the page upon which it appears. Act 34 is quite specific in that the notice must take up
no less than one-quarter of the page upon which it appears.

      After adoption of the several resolutions, I would ask that you return a certified
copy of same to me along with three affidavits of publication of the notice of intent.

          I will send out our customary form of engagement letter under separate cover.

       Should you have any questions concerning this, of if I may be of other assistance
to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

                                       Very truly yours,

                                       MILLER, CANFIELD, PADDOCK AND STONE, P.L.c.

           WHEREAS, the City of Muskegon, County of Muskegon, State of Michigan (the "City")
    intends to cause to be issued and sold bonds or other obligations, in one or more series, in
    amounts not to exceed Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) for the purpose of paying the cost of

~
~          WHEREAS, the City intends, at this time to state its intentions to be reimbursed from
~   proceeds of the bonds or other obligations for any expenditures undertaken by the City for the
•   Projects prior to issuance of the bonds or other obligations.

          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:


          1.    The City makes the following declarations for the purpose of complying with the
    reimbursement rules of Treas. Reg.§ 1.150-2 pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
    amended:
                (a)     As of the date hereof, the City reasonably expects to reimburse itself for the
          expenditures described in (b) below with proceeds of debt to be incurred by the City or
          on behalf of the City.

                 (b)    The expenditures described in this paragraph (b) are for the costs of
          acquiring the Projects together with appurtenances and attachments thereto to serve the
          City which were or will be paid subsequent to six months prior to the date hereof.
              (c)     The maximum principal amount of debt expected to be issued for the
       Projects, including issuance costs, is $7,000,000.

               (d)     A reimbursement allocation of the expenditures described in (b) above with
       the proceeds of the borrowing described herein will occur not later than 18 months after
       the later of (i) the date on which the expenditure is paid, or (ii) the date the Projects are
       placed in service, but in no event more than three (3) years after the original expenditure
       is paid. A reimbursement allocation is an allocation in writing that evidences the City's
       use of the proceeds of the debt to be issued for the Projects to reimburse the City for a
       capital expenditure made pursuant to this Resolution.

              (e)    The expenditures described in (b) above are "capital expenditures" as
       defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.150-l(b), which are any costs of a type which are properly

       the application of the definition of placed in service under Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2(c))
       under general Federal income tax principles (as determined at the time the expenditure is
       paid).

              (t)    No proceeds of the borrowing paid to the City in reimbursement pursuant to
       this Resolution will be used in a manner described in Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2(b) with
       respect to abusive uses of such proceeds, including, but not limited to, using funds
       corresponding to the proceeds of the borrowing in a manner that results in the creation of
       replacement proceeds (within Treas. Reg. § 1.148-1) within one year of the
       reimbursement allocation described in (d) above.

             (g)    Expenditures for the Projects to be reimbursed for the proceeds of the
      borrowing for purposes of this Resolution do not include costs for the issuance of the
      debt or an amount not in excess of the lesser of$100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of
      the borrowing, or preliminary expenditure not exceeding twenty (20) percent of the issue
      price of the borrowing, within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2(t) (such preliminary
      expenditures include architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing and similar costs
      incurred prior to construction of the Projects, but do not include land acquisition, site
      preparation, and similar costs incident to commencement of construction).

2. All resolutions and parts of resolutions insofar as they conflict with the provisions of this
resolution be and the same herby are rescinded.
