STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
      D. Sale of Buildable Vacant Lot on Lawrence Avenue.             PLANNING &
         ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the sale of a vacant buildable lot at 1536
Lawrence Avenue (Parcel #24-610-000-0043-00) to Gloria Fisher of 430 Glen Oaks
Drive, Apt. 3B, Muskegon, Ml. The lot is 80 x 132 ft. and is being offered to Ms.
Fisher for $6,750. The details of the home are not confirmed as of this date, but
she will conform to all standard requirements of the City-owned property policy.
The True Cash Value (TCV) for the property listed in the Assessor's Office is $9,000,
so our price is set at $6,750 which is 75% of that amount.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The sale of this lot for construction of a new home will
generate additional tax revenue for the City and will place the property back
on the City's tax rolls, thus relieving the City of continued maintenance costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution and to authorize both the
Mayor and the Clerk to sign said resolution and deed.
      E. 18-Month Extension to Complete Construction of 4 Homes. PLANNING
         & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve an 18-month extension to allow Mr. Bill
Ingalls extra time to complete construction of four single-family homes on Miner
Avenue. The original agreement between the City and Mr. Ingalls stipulated
that construction of four homes was to be completed within 18 months. The City
has customarily granted extensions to persons who have shown that they are
dedicated to completing construction and contributing to the beautification of
the City's residential areas. Mr. Ingalls has constructed two homes on the site
and has a contract to begin the third. Since the 18-month time period typically
pertains to people building one single family home, it makes sense that more
time can be allowed for several homes to be built.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the time extension,
as well as authorization for both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign the resolution
and deed.

Service, 2691 Hall Road, Muskegon, for the low bid of $12,500. The CNS

are 814 Murphy (66 x 140), 265 Walton (99 x 140), and 243 Walton (297 x 140).
After the sites have been cleared, the CNS Office in partnership with
Neighborhood Investment Corp. and Fifth/Third Bank are proposing to build 4 to
6 homes on the site.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding will be disbursed from previously approved HOME
funds.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the low bid by Andy's Tree Service and
direct the CNS to develop a contract with Andy's Tree Service for $12,500.

MOTION PASSES
2004-73 UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
     A. Approval of Purchase Agreement for City/State Lots on Clay Avenue -
        City of Muskegon and Brenda Moore. PLANNING & ECONOMIC
        DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Brenda Moore has purchased the former Freres Gas
Station on Laketon Avenue. She would like to move the building to a lot owned
by the City of Muskegon on Clay Avenue and the adjacent lot (now owned by
the State, but requested for purchase by the City). The purchase agreement
allows the lots to be sold to Ms. Moore, on the condition that the City obtain the
deed for the State-owned lot by December 31, 2004. After closing on the
property, Ms. Moore will have 18 months to move the building to the site and
make improvements. She will provide a $30,000 performance bond, in the
event the improvements are not made within the time allotted. Ms. Moore
intends to improve the building for a commercial/retail use.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will receive $2,500 for the lots. The purchase price
takes into consideration that the building is a historic structure being moved into
a Heritage District and will be appropriately placed in this location.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Real Estate Purchase Agreement
and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract.
Motion by Vice Mayor Larson, second by Commissioner Davis to approve the

Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Vice Mayor Larson to adopt the

sales.

2004-74 NEW BUSINESS:
      A. Consideration of Bids - Nims Street Tank Painting. ENGINEERING

received four (4) bids from qualified contractors to paint the Nims Street Tank

MOTION PASSES
      B. Proposed Charter Amendments to Change City's Fiscal Year. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: As set in the City Charter, the City's fiscal year is
currently the same as the calendar year (January 1 - December 31). This is
inconsistent with the federal, state and virtually all other Michigan municipal
fiscal years. Staff has weighed the pros and cons of changing fiscal years and
believes that there are sufficient benefits to make it worthwhile to propose a
Charter amendment. Accordingly, the two resolutions have been prepared
which, if approved by the Commission, would place the following two questions
on November's ballot:
   1. Shall the Muskegon City Charter be amended to provide that the fiscal
      year for the City be established by an ordinance adopted by the City
      Commission? The Charter now provides that the fiscal year shall begin
      January 1.
   2. Shall the Muskegon City Charter be amended to provide that the date
      the City Manager submits the budget to the City Commission and the
      date the City Commission adopts the budget shall be set by ordinance?
      The Charter now provides that the City Manager must submit the budget
      by September 1 and the City Commission must adopt it by September 25.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Placing this item on the November general election ballot
avoids the costs of a special election. If approved, the change in fiscal years
will provide a onetime boost to the City's general fund and will facilitate other
efficiencies in the handling of City finances.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolutions.
Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Commissioner Shepherd to
approve the resolutions for a proposed Charter Amendment to change the City's
fiscal year.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Shepherd, Spataro, Warmington, Carter, Davis, Gawron,
           Larson
            Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
      C. Zoning Administration Assistance        Contract-LSL.      PLANNING    &
         ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: With the departure of Brian Lazor, Acting Zoning
Administrator, there is a need to provide assistance in the zoning administration
area, until a new Zoning Administrator is hired. Staff sought proposals from two
firms. One (the only local firm that may have been able to assist) did not have
the time or staff available at this point. The other, LSL, was able to provide the
type of assistance needed. LSL will provide a staff person, Joe Kinney, for two
days a week in the office. Joe will also be available for consultation by phone.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:        Costs to the City will be $53/hr. for Joe's services.
Additional services (e.g., writing zoning amendments) will be an additional cost.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the contract between the City of
Muskegon and LSL Associates, Inc., and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign
the contract.
Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Commissioner Gawron to approve
the contract between the City of Muskegon and LSL Associates, Inc.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Spataro,     Warmington,    Carter,   Davis,    Gawron,   Larson,

MOTION PASSES
         637 Amity - Area 11
CASE# & PROJECT ADDRESS: #EN030174- 637 Amity.
LOCATION AND OWNERSHIP: This structure is located on Amity between Scott
and Kenneth and is owned by Gustav Buchholz. The house was damaged by
fire in 2002 and the City holds $6,437 in escrow until the repairs are completed or
demolition occurs.
STAFF CORRESPONDENCE: The owner was notified by the Fire Marshal on
6/12/02 of the insurance money being deposited in escrow. A board up notice
was issued 3/11 /02 and 4/21 /03. A dangerous building inspection report was
written 11 /20/03 and Notice and Order to repair or remove was issued 12/3/03.
On 1/8/04 the HBA declared the house substandard and dangerous.
OWNER CONTACT: The owner (at that time Jeanette Casson) was present at
the 1/8/04 HBA meeting with a potential buyer (Gustav Buchholz) of the
property who stated he intends to repair and live in the house. They were told
at that time that even though the house was being declared, they would have
30 days in which the potential owner could bring in proof of ownership, schedule
an interior inspection and submit a timetable for repairs.           Mr. Buchholz
scheduled an interior inspection for 1/29 /04, but had to cancel and reschedule
for personal reasons. The interior inspection was scheduled for 2/20/04. That
inspection was also canceled and rescheduled for 2/24/04. This case has been
scheduled to go before the City Commission on 2/24/04, but was removed from
the agenda when the interior inspection was conducted. The owner was
notified that permits had to be pulled by 3/31 /04, 30 day progress inspections,
and a completion date of 9/1 /04. On 4/5/04 Mr. Buchholz applied for a building
permit, but disagreed with the value of $40,000 for repairs and did not take the
permit out. He stated he would be back within a week and bring in estimates
from his contractors to show what he believed to be the real value for the
building permit. He was told at that time that he was already beyond the
deadline date for pulling a permit and we could not promise him that in another
week he would still be allowed to pull the permit. He left and came back
4/15/04 and dropped off estimates from a Wyoming building contractor for all of
the work to be completed. The estimates given were from a contractor who is
not registered with the City who has a "repair service" and his estimates were for
electrical, mechanical and plumbing which he is not licensed to do. Mr.
Buchholz applied for the building permit 4/27/04 and was given 90 days due to
the fact that he had already used up 2 of the 6 months originally given. He was
told at the time of issuance that if significant progress was made the permit
could be extended . On 7/22/04 an electrical permit was issued. No plumbing
or mechanical permits have been pulled and no inspections called for.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of demolition will be paid with money that is
escrowed from the fire.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
SEV: $21,200
STAFF RECOMMENDATION :       To concur with the Housing Board of Appeals

     Dear Applicant,
          Baaed on information you supplied, and assuming your operations will be aa
     stated in your application for recognition of exemption, we have determined you
     are exempt from federal income tax undez' section 501 (a) of the Intarnal Revenue
     Code aa an organization described J.n section 50l(c) (3).

          Because you are a newly created a:rgantzatJ.on, we are not now ma.king a
     final determination of your foundation status unde~ aection 509(a) of the Code.
     However, we have determined that you can reasonably expect to be a publicly
     supported organization deac1."'ibed in sections 509 (a) {l) and 170 (b) (l) {A) {vi).

          Accordingly, du.ring an advance rulirlg period you will be traa.tad as a
     publicly suppo1·t.ed organization, and not a.a a private foundation. Thia advance
     ruling period begins and ends on th~ date~ shown above.
          Within 90 daya after the end of your advance ruling period, you must
     aend ue the information needed to determine whether you have met the require-
     ments of tbe applicable support test~ O.ut•ing the advance ruling period. If you
     establish that you have been a publicly supported organization, wa will classi-
     fy you as a section 509(a) (1) or 509(a) (2) organization aa long as you continue
     to m@e:t the requirements of the applicable support t.~at.. If you do not meet
     the public support requirements du-rJng the advance ruling period. we wi.11
     classify you as a private. foundation for future period.a. Also, if we classify
     you ae a private foundation, we will treat you as a private foundation from
     your beginning date for purposes of section 507(d) and 4940.
               #'

          Granto:c·s and contributors may rely on our determination that. you are not a
     private foundation until 90 daya after the end of your advanc., ruling period.
     If you send ua the required information within the 90 days, gra.ntore and
     contributors may continue to rely on the advance detennination until we make

                                                                         L~ttgr 10~5 (00/CG)

      act or failure to act, that resulted in your loss of such status, that person
      may not rely on this determination from the date of the act or failure to act.
      Aleo, if a grantor or contributor learned that we had given notice that you
      would be removed from claeaificatton ae a publicly supported organization, then
      that person may not rely on this determination as of the date he or she
      acquired such knowledge.

To:           Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners

From:         Planning & Economic Development
RE:           18-Month Extension to Complete Construction of 4 Homes


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

To approve an 18-month extension to allow Mr. Bill Ingalls extra time to complete
construction of four single-family homes on Miner Avenue. The original agreement
between the City and Mr. Ingalls stipulated that construction of four homes was to be
completed within 18 months. The City has customarily granted extensions to persons
who have shown that they are dedicated to completing construction and contributing to
the beautification of the City's residential areas. Mr. Ingalls has constructed two homes
on the site and has a contract to begin the third. Since the 18-month time period
typically pertains to people building one single family home, it makes sense that more
time can be allowed for several homes to be built.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

None.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the time extension, as well as authorization for both the
Mayor and the Clerk to sign the attached resolution and deed.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

None.

RE:           Approval of Purchase Agreement for City/State
              Lots on Clay Avenue- City of Muskegon and
              Brenda Moore


SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Brenda Moore has purchased the former Freres Gas
Station on Laketon Avenue. She would like to move the building to a lot owned by
the City of Muskegon on Clay Avenue (see attached map) and the adjacent lot (now
owned by the State, but requested for purchase by the City). The attached purchase
agreement allows the lots to be sold to Ms. Moore, on the condition that the City
obtain the deed for the State-owned lot by December 31, 2004. After closing on the
property, Ms. Moore will have 18 months to move the building to the site and make
improvements. She will provide a $30,000 performance bond, in the event the
improvements are not made within the time allotted. Ms. Moore intends to improve
the building for a commercial/retail use.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will receive $2,500 for the lots. The purchase price
takes into consideration that the building is a historic structure being moved into a
Heritage District and will be appropriately placed in this location.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the attached Real Estate Purchase
Agreement and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract.

and specifically described in Exhibit A subject to the reservations, restrictions and easements of
record, provided said reservations, restrictions and easements of record are acceptable to Buyer
upon disclosure and review of the same, and subject to any governmental inspections required by
law. The Premises consists of two parcels. Parcel A is a buildable lot presently owned by the
State of Michigan. Seller is in the process of attempting to gain ownership of such. Parcel B is a
non-buildable lot owned by Seller. Seller is unwilling to sell, and Buyer refuses to buy, Parcel B
without Parcel A.

        2.      Purchase Price and Manner of Payment. The purchase price for the Premises
shall be Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). In addition, Buyer and Seller

the location, boundaries and area of the Premises and improvements thereon without regard to
any representations that may have been made by Seller or any other person. In the event that a
survey by a registered land surveyor made prior to closing discloses an encroachment or
substantial variation from the presumed land boundaries or area, Seller shall have the option of
effecting a remedy within thirty (30) days after disclosure, or tendering Buyer's deposit in full
termination of this Purchase Agreement, and paying the cost of such survey. Buyer may elect to

matter independent of any representation from the law firm of Parmenter O'Toole. The parties

past in various matters. However, Parmenter O'Toole has never in any capacity represented
either party in this transaction or in any negotiations between Seller and Buyer. The parties have
requested that Parmenter O'Toole draft this Agreement consistent with their agreement and
Parmenter O'Toole has agreed to do so acting only as a scrivener. Parmenter O'Toole has drafted
this Agreement on behalf of neither party, but it may contain provisions that may be adverse to
Buyer or Seller. Both parties are strongly encouraged to retain independent counsel to review
the documents and advise the parties. Both parties agree they have not retained Parmenter
O'Toole in this transaction other than to put their agreement in writing and neither shall depend
on Parmenter O'Toole for legal advice with regard to this transaction.

City Attorney about the language and that is provided below. Since the language is the same in all residential districts
except the MHP, Mobile Home Park district, staff feels to be consistent the language if approved should be applied to all

City of Muskegon Planning Commission ~ 7/15/04
L. Spataro stated that he felt this is good. He suggested some time restraints for renewal of the Special Use Pennits that
this would be effective in. He had suggested every 3 years. P. Sartorius felt this should be a condition on a case by case
basis. T. Johnson stated that this should be approved by the LCC. He has a problem with the idea as a whole. He felt that
they were taking 1 situation and changing it for all the zoning areas proposed. He felt that this could cause a real problem.
T. Harryman stated that he understands the concerns. He looks at trying to keep the small stores in the neighborhood. He
would like to keep this at the Planning Commission level. T. Johnson explained the reason behind the current zoning
language. L. Spataro understood the need for a legacy store in residential zoning districts. He also added that there aren't
that many left in the City. S. Norman stated that he lives near 407 Marquette. He has seen how the times have changed and
this neighborhood is good and stable. The previous owner promised that there would be no alcohol or lotto sales. He
described the area surround this store. He would be opposed to changing the language to allow for the sale of alcohol. P.
Sartorius explained that this isn't just for the 1 property, it would be allowed in all the residential zones. C. Shepherd stated
that she understood the dilemma the commission members are in. She also understands why this came up. She didn't feel
this needed to be discussed and doesn't feel this should be changed. She is opposed to changing the language. B. Joy-
Holmes stated that she also didn't want to see alcohol sales in the Jackson Hill neighborhood. P. Sartorius stated that if the
zoning language were to change, the owner of 407 Marquette would need to apply for a Special Use Penni! and there would
be a public hearing to address any concerns that the neighbors may have regarding the sale at that location. L. Spataro
explained how the zoning language change had come about. He explained the difference between rezoning a property or
having the sale of alcohol as a SUP in a residential zoning district. Should a property be rezoned for business, then they
would be allowed to sell alcohol. If the zoning language for a residential zoning district is changed to include alcohol sales
under a SUP, then they would need to go before the PC and it would need to be approved. At that time, the public may
comment, conditions can be placed on the SUP (hours of operation was an example given), and if the conditions of the SUP
are violated, it may be revoked. S. Nonnan felt that the neighborhood should have a say in any time limits that are placed
on it.

A motion to close the public hearing was made by L. Spataro, supported by T. Hanyman and unanimously approved.

T. Johnson stated his concerns and asked if this were to pass, what would happen with 407 Marquette at the City
Commission level for the rezoning request. L. Spataro explained that the rezoning request was put on hold pending his
request. He felt that this was a better compromise. T. Harryman stated that he would prefer the language change over the
rezoning of a property to allow for it. T. Michalski stated that the PC can revoke an SUP. He felt that if they limit the
hours of operation, then they should be consistent with the time no matter which neighborhood it is in. This will help
strengthen a neighborhood. B. Mazade stated that based on the previous meeting minutes and discussions, this would be a
good compromise. The commission members discussed changes to the language and they are as follows:

RE: Notice of Award and Agreement

We have reviewed the bids for the painting of the 1,000,000-gallon Nims Street
tank. We recommend award of the project to M.K. Painting, Inc, the apparent low
bidder, with his bid of $359,550. M.K. Painting, Inc, is on our prequalified list of
tank painting contractors.

The Engineers estimate for the project was $440,000. The prices received were
very competitive as the bidders were aggressive with their pricing. We highly
recommend awarding the project for the fall. It is very unlikely you will receive
better pricing by bidding next spring.

I have enclosed three copies of the Notice of Award and four copies of the
Contract Agreement. The Notice of Award requires dating and signature. The
three copies of the Notice of Award (signed and dated) and the Contract
Agreement (unsigned) shall be sent to the Contractor. The Contractor shall be
instructed to sign and deliver the Notice of Award, Contract Agreement and
submit the required bonds and insurance certificate. The Contractor shall keep one
copy of the Notice of Award for his records.

The Owner will execute the Contract Agreement after receiving and reviewing the
required bonds and insurance certificate. NTEC will compile and prepare the fully
executed Contract Document package for each party.

RE:       Proposed Charter Amendment to Change City's Fiscal Year



SUMMARY OF REQUEST: As set in city charter, the city's fiscal year is currently the
same as the calendar year (January 1 - December 31). This is inconsistent with the federal,
state and virtually all other Michigan municipal fiscal years. Staff has weighed the pros and
cons of changing fiscal years and believes that there are sufficient benefits to male it
worthwhile to propose a charter amendment. Accordingly, the two attached resolutions have
been prepared which, if approved by the Commission, would place the following two
questions on November's ballot:

1. Shall the Muskegon City Charter be amended to provide that the fiscal year for the City
    be established by an ordinance adopted by the City Commission?           The Charter now
    provides that the fiscal year shall begin January 1.

2. Shall the Muskegon City Charter be amended to provide that the date the City Manager
    submits the budget to the City Commission and the date the City Commission adopts the
    budget shall be set by ordinance? The Charter now provides that the City Manager must
    submit the budget by September 1 and the City Commission must adopt it by SeptenlDer
    25.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Placing this item on the November general election ballot avoids
the costs of a special election. If approved, the change in fiscal years will provide a onetime
boost to the city's general fund and will facilitate other efficiercies in the handling of city
finances (see accompanying memo).

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the attached resolutions.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: There is no committee recommendation at
this time.
                                                                                Finance

Memo
To:        City Commission                   City Manager
From:Finance Director
Date: August 2, 2004
Re:        Fiscal Year Change


Chapter VIII, Section 1 of the City Charter provides that "(t)he fiscal year of the City
shall begin January first." To the best of my knowledge, this provision has not
changed since the charter was adopted in 1919. The current budget challenges
facing the city have prompted staff to explore whether changing fiscal years could
provide practical and/or financial benefits that outweigh the political and
administrative costs of making such a change. We have concluded that it is in the
city's best interest to change fiscal years; however, it is not yet clear which fiscal
year alternative is best for the city.

Theoretically, any date could serve as the city's fiscal year-end. However,
September 30 or June 30 fiscal year-ends are the two most logical options.
Following are some of the issues weighing for and against each alternative:

September 30 Fiscal Year-end

Pros:

•    Consistent with federal, state and Muskegon County fiscal years - this would
     facilitate the city's grant accounting and revenue budgeting functions. As an
     example, as we prepare the city's 2005 budget, we have no official state
     projections of state shared revenues beyond September 30, 2005.




• Page 1




C:\Documents and Settings\boeslj\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKB\I\IIEMO - CITY COMMISSION FY CHANGE.doc
•   Probable one-time increase to fund balance - Since city property taxes are
    collected entirely at the start of our present fiscal year (i.e. winter), a transitional
    9-month fiscal period would include a full year's property taxes. This should
    provide an increase to our beginning fund balance for a new fiscal period starting
    October 1. Assuming other property tax collecting bodies (e.g. ODA, LDFA, and
    TIFA) under the city's aegis also change fiscal years, similar one-time benefits
    would be realized by them.

    However, it must be cautioned that the property tax benefit would be somewhat
    offset by these negative factors:

           •   State-shared revenues - Based on historical payment patterns, it is
               estimated that we would receive only about 67% of our annual state
               shared revenues during the 9-month stub year (75% of full-year) period.
               ($376,000 loss)

           •   CATV Franchise - We would receive only one payment (50%) during the
               9-month period. ($67,500 loss)

           •   Summer spending - Spending for general fund activities peaks in the
               summer months with special events overtime, seasonal labor, and parks
               & recreation activities. A September 30 fiscal year would include all of
               this peak spending.

    Staff reviewed last year's data and estimates that had the city ended its fiscal
    year on September 30 2003, the general fund fund balance would have been
    about $613,000 higher than the actual results for December 31 , 2003:

                                      Actual FY Ended        Estimated FY Ended
                                    December 31 , 2003       September 30, 2003

     Revenues                               23,328,756                 17,826,939

     Expenditures                           23,705,334                 17,590,408

     Ending Fund Balance                    $2,431,418                 $3,044,527



•   Lower Audit Fees - the current December 31 fiscal year-end means that the
    annual independent audit is conducted during the first four months of the
    calendar year or, in other words, tax preparation season. Changing from a




• Page 2
    December 31 year-end would very likely result in more competition for the city's
    audit contract and lower audit fees.

•   Budget Calendar - A September 30 fiscal year could fit with the city's current
    budget calendar - i.e. budget submitted by September 1 and adopted by
    September 25 for year beginning October 1.

Cons:

•   Complicates budgeting/accounting for capital projects since most · projects are
    undertaken in the summer months but are not completed by September 30.



June 30 Fiscal Year-end

Pros:

•   Consistent with most other Michigan cities' fiscal years - this would have little
    direct advantage other than to make data comparisons with other cities more
    meaningful.

•   One-time increase to fund balance - The one-time effect would be more
    pronounced with a June 30 fiscal year since a full year's property taxes would be
    compressed into just a six-month stub period. Also, some of the offsets
    experienced with a September 30 fiscal year (e.g. summer spending) are
    avoided.

    Again, staff reviewed last year's data and estimates that had the city ended its
    fiscal year on June 30 2003, the general fund fund balance would have been
    about $1,486,000 higher than the actual results for December 31 , 2003:

                                   Actual FY Ended      Estimated FY Ended
                                 December 31, 2003            June 30, 2003

     Beginning Fund Balance              $2,807,996               $2,807,996

     Revenues                            23,328,756               12,853,018

     Expenditures                        23,705,334               11,743,041

     Ending Fund Balance                 $2,431,418               $3,91 7,973

•   Lower Audit Fees - Again, the impact would likely be greater since the summer
    months are the slowest period for most CPA firms.

•   There is rumor of the state changing to an all-summer, unified property tax bill. If
    this were to be mandated, a June 30 fiscal year would be preferable from a
    cashflow standpoint. With a September 30 fiscal year, summer property taxes
    would be collected at the end of the year potentially requiring the city to borrow
    for cashflow purposes.

Cons:

•   Not consistent with state or federal fiscal years.



Staff believes it is in the city's best interest to propose a charter amendment that
gives the city commission authority to set the fiscal year by ordinance. This will
provide the necessary flexibility for future commissions to deal with state mandates
(such as the unified summer tax bill). The city attorney has prepared resolutions to
place this issue on the November general election ballot. This will avoid the cost of
a special charter election.

If the ballot proposition is successful, the city commission could adopt ordinances in
December 2004 to effect a fiscal year change in 2005.

Finally, it must be emphasized that changing the city's fiscal year does not in
anyway raises taxes or fees on citizens. Property taxes will still be levied as
they currently are. The proposed change is purely administrative and allows
city finances to be handled more efficiently and effectively.

Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

stated he was denied a permit. The board again explained the city ordinance
requires an interior inspection on dangerous buildings before any permits will be
issued. He has refused to allow the interior inspection. On 8/2/04 the building

 which the potential owner could bring in proof of ownership, schedule an interior
 inspection and submit a timetable for repairs. Mr. Buchholz scheduled an interior
 inspection for 1/29/04, but had to cancel and reschedule for personal reasons.
 The interior inspection was scheduled for 2/20/04. That inspection was also
 canceled and rescheduled for 2/24/04. This case had been scheduled to go
 before the City Commission on 2/24/04, but was removed from the agenda when
 the interior inspection was conducted. The owner was notified that permits had
 to be pulled by 3/31/04, 30 day progress inspections, and a completion date of
 9/1/04. On 4/5/04 Mr. Buchholz applied for a building permit, but disagreed with
 the value of $40,000 for repairs and did not take the permit out. He stated he
 would be back within a week and bring in estimates from his contractors to show
 what he believed to be the real value for the building permit. He was told at that
 time that he was already beyond the deadline date for pulling a permit and we
could not promise him that in another week he would still be allowed to pull the
permit. He left and came back 4/15/04 and dropped off estimates from a
Wyoming building contractor for all of the work to be completed. The estimates
given were from a contractor who is not registered with the city who has a "repair
service" and his estimates were for electrical, mechanical and plumbing which he
is not licensed to do. Mr. Buchholz applied for the building permit 4/27/04 and
was given 90 days due to the fact that he had already used up 2 of the 6 months
originally given. He was told at the time of issuance that if significant progress
was made the permit could be extended. On 7/22/04 an electrical permit was
issued. No plumbing or mechanical permits have been pulled and no inspections
called for.
