Re: 2001/2002 Rock Salt Offer
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Award rock salt bid to Morton International at a cost of $35.95/ton,
delivered, October 20, 2001 through April 30, 2002.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$82,400 budgeted.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None. Funds provided in Highway budgets will purchase 2,292 tons.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Accept offer.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
To: The City Commission through the City Manager
From: Robert H. Kuhn, Director of Public Works
Date: September 19, 2001
Subject: Rock Salt Bid
Bids to provide rock salt for the 2001/2002 winter were solicited in The Muskegon
Chronicle, and notices were mailed to six interested vendors. Two bids were received
received:
Morton International $35.95/ton delivered, 50-ton minimum
$35.95/ton pick-up, 10-ton minimum
Cargill Salt $37.25/ton delivered, 50-ton minimum
$36.00/ton pick-up, 10-ton minimum
Morton International has provided the salt for the last two winters at $26.00/ton,
delivered. This past winter 4,390 tons of rock salt were purchased.
Although our bid requested pricing on 5,000 tons, we are not obligated to purchase that
amount. We will, however, have up to that amount available should winter weather be
severe.
Current Highway budgets---locals, majors, and State trunkline---include $82,400 for rock
salt purchases, which would purchase 2,292 tons at the $35.95/ton, 50-ton minimum,
delivered quote from Morton International. If we should need more than 2,292 tons of
salt, a budget adjustment will be needed.
It is recommended that the rock salt vendor for the 2001/2002 winter be Morton
International.

Staff Report [EXCERPT]
CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
September 13, 2001
Hearing; Case 2001-32: Reqnest for the vacation of Jiroch St., between Forest and
Sonthern Aves., by Hackley Hospital.
BACKGROUND
Hackley Hospital is requesting that Jiroch St., between Forest and Southern Aves. be vacated.
The only properties located on this block of Jiroch are a parking lot owned by and used for
Hackley Hospital (west side of street), and Muskegon County Mental Health (east side of street).
Muskegon County Mental Health has a Southern Ave. address, but the only access to their
parking lot is off of Jiroch ( see photos below).
The City Engineer has stated that "as long as it is understood and agreed upon that this section of
Jiroch would not be built over and the City's rights to enter that section for repair and/or
replacement of public utilities is preserved", he would not object to the request. "I feel that from
a snow removal operation this vacation would make it easier, one less dead end."
The Fire Marshal is opposed to the request, stating "This is our access to the west side of
Northwood Center and a second means of ingress/egress from the emergency department area.
This can not happen. We have already vacated Forest. Now, we propose to have no public
access into the area?"

RE: Correct the Special Assessment Roll on Windsor
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
It is requested that the street special assessment roll adopted September 11 th of 2001 for
the Windsor construction project from Barclay to Henry be corrected to reflect the
following;
1. 971 Windsor (Parcel # 24-175-000-0107-00) be assessed for 16' instead of 39' for a
total assessment of $576.00 instead of $1,417.65.
2. 972 Windsor (Parcel# 24-500-000-0013-00) be for 42.3' instead of 50' for a total
assessment of $1,537.61 instead of $1,817.50.
3. 990 Windsor (Parcel# 24-500-000-0012-00) be for 75' instead of 100' for a total
assessment of $2,726.25 instead of $3,635.00.
4. 993 Windsor (Parcel# 24-175-000-0135-00) be assessed for 35.5' instead of 44.5' for
a total assessment of $1,290.43 instead of $1,617.58.
These corrections are necessary due to an oversight on our part to recognize that
alignment of Dowd not being straight north & south of Windsor. Furthermore, the property
owners affected by the proposed corrections have been contacted.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A total of $74,225.91 (instead of $76,573.35) would be spread against the fourty-five (45)
parcels abutting the project .
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None,
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Re: Backhoe Purchase
Bob, below is the final quote for the purchase of a Case Super M Backhoe, As
you know we rented 1his backhoe for the summer months of 2001. Wolverine Tractor and
Equipment has offered to apply 85% of the rental fees paid to them over the summer
months.
The cost ofa 580 Super M Backhoe to fit our specifications is $62,500.00, Below
is a breakdown of savings to us:
Rental: $2500.00 X 6mo. = $15000 00
Rental Applied: $15,000.00 X 85% ~ $12,750.00
Final Co31: $62,500.00- $12,750.00 = $49,750.00
Our other three backhoes arc also Case models and all of the Case engines
take the same peripheral parts, which makes it bcnelicial in stockingsparc parls.
In purchasing this machine we will be reducing the amount of rental fees we arc
paying each year,

RE: Leaf Vacuum
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Approval to purchase 1 Giant Vac. Model 6500HW leaf
vacuum from the Power Shop.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: $9,500.00
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: $7000.00 was budgeted for this item. The extra
$2,500.00 will be taken from other line items that were under budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the purchase of one (1) model 6500HW Giant
leaf vacuum from the power shop.
Memorandum
To: Robert Kuhn
From: Jerry McIntyre
Date: 09/13/01
RE: LeafVac Replacement
Bob,
I would recommend the purchase of one LeafVac machine for $9500.00.
In researching the past budget allowances, I notice in 1998 we allowed $8000.00
for the purchase of a vac that priced at $8480.00. In the 2001 budget we allowed
$7000.00.
The "Giant" Company, a manufacturer that makes leaf vacuums has been
purchased by the Simplicity Co. In doing so, the Simplicity Co. has left the name of
Giant on the machines and are using the Wisconsin engines. According to Simplicity,
Wisconsin has raised their prices tremendously on their engines and that is the reason for
the large price increase.
With these machines steadily rising we should budget for at least 2 machines in
our future budget, if at all possible.
We have three machines now.
These machines are maintenance intensive, but one of the best means to deal with
leaves in the parks and cemetery.

Grabinski reminded the Board that they tabled this case for 30 days at the June,
2000 meeting to allow time for completion of repairs and/or sale of property.
There has been no change in ownership and no progress made on repairs.
Mrs. Hoople attended the meeting with her Real-estate Agent. The agent stated
that the property is still marketed for sale at $15,000.00. An interested buyer is
on vacation out of town right now and the Agent wasn't sure when she would talk
with him again. Ms. Hoople's daughter was speaking with the Agent regarding
renovating the building and renting it out. The agent and Mrs. Hoople requested
more time to come up with a buyer.
Some discussion took place regarding the proceedings if the Board moved to
condemn it would be forwarded to the city commission in 30 days.
Mr. Mayor made a motion, supported by John Warner, to table the case for 6
weeks to give time for a buyer of the property. The case will be reviewed at the
10/5/2000 meeting.

Mrs. Bonna Hoople attended the meeting. She stated that her late husband,
Donald Hoople passed away in Jan of 1992 and left the property to her. This is
commercial property. She has been trying to sell it with no luck. She had been
through three different real-estate agencies that did absolutely nothing and now has
a new agent with the hopes of selling it soon. The real-estate agent. Laura Hammer
with Remax of Muskegon attended the meeting with Mrs. Hoople. Laura stated that
Mrs. Hoople would like an extension of 30 days so they could find out what is
happening with the other commercial properties on the block. The property is
currently actively for sale.
Bob Grabinski recommended that the board extend for 30 days because Laura and
Mrs. Hoople have been cooperative and have been working with the inspections
department.
John Warner, supported by Randy Mackie, made a motion to extend 30 days and
review the case on 8/6/00. A roll call vote was taken.

Mental Health for $6 1 500 per year, aproximately half of our annual
income. The rest comes from donationa, fund-raisers and yard aales.
Both fund-raisers and yard sales are held away from the Jeffereon
Street address, If we can obtain the licensing for the Laa Vega •
Ni9ht, the proceeds. will pay winter-time utility bills,
We thank you tor your time in dealing with this matt.er. You arill ..
