Date: July 10, 2001
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: City Treasurer
RE: Revenue/Collections Administrator Position
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To reclassify the current Deputy Treasurer position to
Revenue/Collections Administrator along with the salary pay range from range X to
range VIII of the non-represented employees' salary schedule.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff expects that the costs of the position changes will be
more than offset by:
1) Reduction in accounts receivable days and improvement in the city's cash
flow.
2) Reduction in bad debts that are written off.
3) Improved collections due to the knowledge of debtors ("slow-pays") that
the City is focusing more attention to this area.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request to reclassify the position.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Civil Service Commission approved the
job description at their meeting on May 22, 2001.
City of Muskegon
Treasurer's Office
Memo
To: Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Derrick Smith, City Treasurer
Date: June 27, 2001
Re: Revenue/Collections Administrator Position
We are proposing to reclassify the Deputy Treasurer posttion in the Treasurer's Office to
Revenue/Collections Administrator. A driving force behind the proposed change is the need to
focus more attention to the City's accounts receivable area. In fact, in reviewing the City
Commission / Department Goals for 2000-2001, the proposed change would be in line w~h two of
the goals. The first goal which is to "continue efforts to improve the City's AIR (accounts
receivable) collections by reducing AIR days and enhancing cash flow would be better served with
the reclassified position. The second goal to "implement an aggressive plan to reduce the
delinquency rate on personal property taxes" would also be addressed by the proposed change.
In 1997, the City offered an early retirement incentive program for certain non-union
employees. At that time both the City Treasurer and the Water Billing Office Supervisor
decided to accept the early retirement offer. With this, it was decided to consolidate the two
separate offices and replace two management positions with a single department head. In
addition, at that time it was decided that a recently vacated account clerk I position would
remain unfilled due to staff cross training efficiencies expected to be gained. The net result
was that two full-time positions were eliminated and personnel costs, along with total
department costs, for the combined department have been much lower than before the
restructuring.
The Deputy Treasurer's position has been open since February 5, 2001. In order for the City
to be more competitive in attracting qualified candidates to fill the new Revenue/Collections
Administrator position, we are requesting that the salary range be approved at range VI 11 of
the non-represented employees' salary schedule. The former Deputy Treasurer position was
at range X of the non-represented employees' salary schedule.
We believe that the proposed plan best serves the needs of the City while complimenting the
other staff within the department. Please feel free to contact me should you have any
questions regarding the requested change.

RE: Kamasi Ghana
Sister City Program
In September of this year I will be venturing to Kamasi Ghana on a mission trip through
my church. (Crosswinds Fellowship of North Muskegon). I will be the program
coordinator for this trip that includes the construction of two houses with Habitat for
Humanity International, as well as an immunization support program with the major
hospital in Accra Ghana (national capitol). We will also be establishing a distribution
center in Kamasi for the future distribution of donated clothing and materials. Our contact
in Ghana has arranged for me to meet with my Public Works counterparts in the Kamasi
reg10n.
Recently there has been much interest regionally in pursuing the feasibility of obtaining
Sister City status with Kamasi Ghana and the Muskegon area. The Sister Cities group is
seriously considering sending a representative with our contingent.
I am requesting the City Commission's approval to allow me to represent the City of
Muskegon ifwe are able to arrange a meeting with the Kamasi Metropolitan Agency. I
will discuss with them the potential of establishing a Sister-City relationship with
Muskegon.
With the City of Muskegon's Afro-American population increasing to over 31 % in the
2000 census, a cultural relationship with Ghana would get much support within our
community. In addition, there are other things coming together with this mission trip that
could very well bring national attention to Muskegon. At this time I am not at liberty to
elaborate on the specific details.
I am personally very excited about this trip and its potential for both Muskegon and the
city ofKamasi. I will be present at the City Commission meeting to answer any
additional questions. I can assure you that I am willing to do everything I can to represent
my city with pride.
Sincerely;
Robert H. Kuhn

RE: Large Meter Replacement
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To Approve the proposal with Metron Farnier to
replace 400 large meters 1 1/2 inch through 8 inch at the cost of $946,798.00
FINANCIAL IMPACT: $ 946,798.00 Water/ Sewer Fund
BUDGETED-: None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: Initial cost will be made with cash on hand
from water and sewer funds. A budget adjustment will be made during the
second quarter budget reforecast. The meter replacement program is expected
to pay for itself with recovered revenue in two to five years
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the proposal from Metron Farnier to
replace 400 Large meters at the cost of$ 946,798.00
Memorandum
To: Bob Kuhn, Director of Public Works
Cc: Tim Paul, Ken Meyer, Derrick Smith
From: Kelly DeFrench, Public Utility Supervisor
Date: 06/28/0 I
Re: Large Meter Replacement Proposal
As you know we have been installing Metron single jet water meters for commercial
use for about 3 years now. Until this type of meter was introduced, we have had to
use compound and turbine type meters for services 2" and larger, with turbine
meters primarily used for irrigation. Compound meters measure a wide range
initially, but are not as accurate as single jet meters and require extensive
maintenance over time. Turbine type meters are more reliable than compound
meters, but they do not cover a wide range of flow as the single jet type
manufactured by Metron.
We have Eighty (80) new Metron meters currently in our system. We performed a
revenue analysis by comparing revenues collected from Twelve (12) of these new
Metron meters, with revenue generated from the old meters. In order to do a fair
comparison, figures were used from the same months for adjacent years. The results
were quite significant. The report (see attached) reveals a projected increase in
revenue of $94,320 in one year for these twelve meters
Metron Farnier sent a proposal to replace 400 of our large meters 1/1/2 - 8" at a cost
of $946,798.00. The turnkey project cost of $946,798 includes meters and
appurtenances, installation and drive by radio AMR hardware and software. The
cost of the meter replacement proposal includes changing out 2 master meters for
the City of Roosevelt Park and I master meter for the City of North Muskegon.
Agreements that we have in place with both communities provide for reimbursement
to the city for replacement of master meters. The replacement cost for Roosevelt
Park would be$ 20,970.00, and $9,000.00 for the City of North Muskegon. The
total recovered amount of$ 29,970.00 from both communities would put our actual
cost for the project at $916,828.00.
1
June 28, 2001
Results of our "12" meter study" indicate an apparent payback time of3 months.
While this payback would not hold true for all meters, a payback time for the entire
system of about two (2) years does seem realistic. Metron estimates the replacement
of the 400 large meters will yield a revenue increase of at least$ 395,000 per year.
At the project cost of$ 946,798, this would yield a payback of just over two (2)
years.
Performing the large meter replacement program with city forces would overextend
our staff and delay implementation of this money saving effort. Changing out large
meters can be risky, old pipes can break causing extensive damage to property and
could result in personnel injury. Older large meters are extremely heavy and difficult
to move. 4" compound meters weigh between 500 and 700-lbs. 6" compound meters
weigh between 800 and I 000 lbs. Depending on manufacturer. Getting these out of a
building or vault can be quite a task and back injuries are highly probable. We
believe that these risks to our employees, together with the delay in implementing
this revenue producing measure justify completing the meter installation under
contract.
Representatives from Metron estimate that the replacement of the 400 large meters
will take approximately ninety days. To insure that our installation standards and
specifications are followed, Ron Archer and Matt Holmes of our department would
supervise the installation.

RE: ER-96-169 Demolition of 186 Strong, Muskegon, Muskegon County (HUD)
Dear Inspection Services:
Under the authority of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, we
have reviewed the above-cited undertaking at the location noted above. Based on the information
provided for our review, it is the opinion of the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) that the
proposed undertaking will have an adverse effect on 186 Strong, a contributing structure to the Campus
Historic District Extension, which appears to meet the criteria for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places.
This undertaking meets the criteria of adverse effect because: the undertaking may alter, directly or
indirectly, any of the characteristics ofa historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the
National Register in a manner that would diminish the integrity of the property's location, design, setting,
materials, workmanship,feeling, or association [36 CFR § 800.5(a)(l)J Specifically, the undertaking
will result in:
• Physical destruction of or damage to all or part of the property.
The finding of adverse effect will prompt HUD, hereinafter referred to as "Agency", to consult further to
resolve the adverse effect pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.6 by proceeding with the following steps:
(!) Per 36 CFR § 800.6(a), the Agency shall continue consultation with the SHPO and other consulting
parties to develop and evaluate alternatives or modifications to the undertaking that could avoid,
minimize or mitigate adverse effects on historic properties. The Agency shall submit a case study
outlining these efforts for review by the SHPO.
(2) In accordance with 36 CFR § 800.6(a)(4), the Agency shall make information regarding this finding
available to the public, providing the public with an opportunity to express their views on resolving
advers.1; effects of the undertaking. Pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.1 l(e), copies or summaries of any views
provided by consulting parties and the public shall be made available to the SHPO as part of the case
study outlined in (1).
(3) Th_e Agency shall immediately notify the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (Advisory
Council), Old Post Office Building, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 809, Washington, D.C.
20004, of the adverse effect finding per 36 CFR §_ 800.6 (a)(l). The notification to the Advisory Council
should be similar to the proJect mformalton submitted to this office and should include the following
documentation as outlined in 36 CFR § 800.1 l(e).
• A description of the undertaking, specifying the federal involvement, and its area of potential effects
including photographs, maps and drawings, as necessary. '
• A description of the steps taken to identify historic properties.
• A description of the affected historic properties, including information on the characteristics that
qualify them for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
• A description of the undertaking's effects on historic properties.
• An explanation of why the criteria of adverse effect were found applicable or inapplicable, including
any conditions or future actions to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects.
• Copies or summaries of any views provided by consulting parties and the public.
(4) The Agency shall invite the Advisory Council to participate in consultation if the undertaking will
affect a National Historic Landmark, if a Programmatic Agreement will be developed as a result of the
finding of adverse effect, or if the Agency wants the Advisory Council to participate in consultation. The
Advisory Council will advise of its decision to participate in consultation within fifteen (15) days of
receipt of this notification or other request. If the Advisory Council chooses not to participate in
consultation, the Agency shall resolve the adverse effect without Advisory Council participation and
pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.6(b)(l).
( 5) If the Agency, the SHPO and, if applicable, the Advisory Council agree on how the adverse effects
will be resolved, they shall execute a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.6(c).
(6) If the Agency and the SHPO fail to agree on the terms of the MOA, the Agency shall request the
Advisory Council to join the consultation. If the Advisory Council decides to join the consultation, the
Agency shall proceed in accordance with 36 CFR § 800.6(b)(2). If the Advisory Council decides not to
join the consultation, the Advisory Council will notify the Agency and proceed to comment in
accordance with 36 CFR § 800.7.
The views of the public are essential to informed decision making in the Section I 06 process. Federal
Agency Officials or their delegated authorities must plan to involve the public in a manner that reflects
the nature and complexity of the undertaking, its effects on historic properties and other provisions per
36 CFR § 800.2(d). We remind you that Federal Agency Officials or their delegated authorities are
required to consult with the appropriate Indian tribe and/or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO)
when the undertaking may occur on or affect any historic properties on tribal lands. In all cases,
whether the project occurs on tribal lands or not, Federal Agency Officials or their delegated authorities
are also required to make a reasonable and good faith effort to identify any Indian tribes or Native
Hawaiian organizations that might attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties in the
area of potential effects and invite them to be consulting parties per 36 CFR § 800.2(c).
)
Please note that the Section I 06 process will not conclude according to 36 CFR § 800."6 "Resolution of
Adverse Effects" until the consultation process is complete, an MOA is developed, executed and
implemented, and, if applicable, the formal comments of the Advisory Council have been received.
The State Historic Preservation Office is not the office of record for this undertaking. You are therefore
asked to maintain a copy of this letter with your environmental review record for this undertaking. If the
scope of work changes in any way, or if artifacts or bones are discovered, please notify this office
immediately.
If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth Szufuar, Environmental Review Assistant, at
(517) 335-2723. Please reference our project number in all communication with this office
regarding this undertaking. Thank you for this opportunity to review and comment, and for your
cooperation.

History: Grabinski stated that this was a house that was brought to us by our
housing inspector in that area. We have had a change in ownership. This guy
Mr. Esh said that he was going to fix it. Since that time nothing has happened, I
went out there today, there's walls torn down inside, the garage is wide open the
roof is still deteriorated and the reason we went out there the first time is because
it smelled of cats. It still smells of cats bad. •,,,
Staff recommendation: Declare the structure a dangerous building, substandard

been no contact from the owner. Commissioner Shepherd and some
neighborhood residents had brought this property to the attention of the
Inspection Department. According to the commissioner and the neighbors, 186
½ is being used for drug activity. The evidence at the structure proves that that
is probably the case. The same thing with 186 however we have not boarded
that one. There has been no contact with the owner or a representative.
Staff Recommendation: To declare the structure unsafe, substandard, a public
nuisance and forward the case to the City Commission for concurrence.

have stayed, we would have had a short discussion on his observation and
based upon his observation how he expects us to work together. Not saying that
it can't be done. He said he would try to make the next meeting also. Borgman
thinks it will be helpful in making them a little more understanding of what reality
( is and that we can't save everything.
Grabinski said that he would be interested in hearing what Mr. Seeback's
observations were.

Case# 97-43 -1133 Third, Duane & Rose Armstrong, 5920 Vine Street,
Muskegon Ml 49442
History: Grabinski Stated that the process was started in 1997. Since then there
have been no permits since the time we gave them to complete the repairs and
we have not been called for inspections.
Staff Recommendation: To declare the structure at 1133 Third Street a -....,
dangerous building, substandard a public nuisance and forward the case to the
city commission for concurrence.
Motion: Randy Mackie, supported by John Warner, made a motion to accept
staff's recommendation.
Discussion: Mr. Kroes asked if nothing has been done. Grabinski said from
staffs prospective, we don't know because they haven't pulled any permits and
they haven't called for inspections. Even if they have done something we don't
know if it is right.

History: Grabinski reminded the board that a timetable was given on this case
last month. Ms. Morris did not adhere to her own schedule and it is being
brought back for review. Grabinski showed some pictures that were taken on
4/5/01 in the morning. He stated that it was not a bad house, it sits along Irwin
and is in fairly decent shape. The problem is that it is boarded up, the structure
is square, the foundation looked in pretty good shape, however if something is
not done soon, and the home will deteriorate and cause problems.
Staff Recommendation: Because of history with the owner, declare the structure,
substandard, unsafe, a public nuisance, however, because of the condition of the
( property, to give a maximum of 90 days before the case will be brought to the city

commission and within those 90 days, repairs must be complete in order to stop
( it from going to the commission.
The board asked if staff has done an interior inspection. Grabinski said no.
Warner asked if all repairs are including exterior and interior repairs. Grabinski
stated that completion of all repairs is including interior and exterior is to be
complete in 90 days or the case will go to commission. Nielsen asked what if all
repairs are complete except for one. Grabinski stated that it would depend oo.'"
the seriousness of the repair. If it is serious it will go before commission.
Grabinski stated that if the board agrees to accept staffs recommendation, the
next step is commission, however, if repairs are not complete, it is staffs
responsibility to decide the seriousness of any repairs remaining at the end of the
90 day and if it will be brought to commission.

conducted and roughly ten items were found to be wrong. Mr. Grabinski still
thought 90 days to complete all interior and exterior repairs would be plenty of
time. The inspectors agreed.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners

Date: July 3, 2001
Re: Core Communities Fund - Seawall & Boardwalk on Former Teledyne Property
The Core Communities Fund (CCF) was established by the Michigan State Legislature
in 2000, to provide gap-financing assistance in the form of loans, grants, sales, or cash
flow participation agreements, guarantees, or any combination thereof, to urban core
communities. Eligible activities include the financing of land, property acquisition, and
assembly; demolition, site development, utility modifications and improvements, street
and road improvements, telecommunications infrastructure, site location/relocation, and
infrastructure improvements.
The City of Muskegon CCF request is for $1 million to assist in the development of a
seawall and public boardwalk along Muskegon Lake on the former Teledyne property.
The benefit of this project will be to provide public access to the waterfront in the form
of a boardwalk and public transient boat slips. Further, the seawall serves a public
purpose by containing the site and groundwater contamination from flowing into
Muskegon Lake. The total project cost is in excess of $2 million. The remaining cost
of the project will be funded by private developers on the former Teledyne site.
In March of 2001, the City Commission approved the submission of a Notice of Intent to
apply for $1,000,000 from the Core Communities Fund. On June 20, 2001, the City
received notice that the boardwalk project had been selected for the submission of a
full application. The Michigan Economic Development Corporation must commit the
Core Communities Fund assets by July 20, 2001. The submission of the application is
not a guarantee of approval of loan funds but rather places the City's request in the
pool for commitment of fund assets by the July 20 date. Final agreement for the
acceptance of the loan would be made at a later date. The City has been informed that
the funds, if approved, would be in the form a low-interest loan not as a grant.
