Commission Chambers Electronics Update – City Clerk
The City Clerk updated the Commissioner on the project of updating the commission
chambers audio and visual equipment to enhance the training experience for our
election inspectors. Keith Roelfsema and Ward LaDuke from Vizidef explained what is
being done. Commissioners can expect better video, better video quality, better video
reliability, as well as a better audio experience for all. Vizidef recommends using
YouTube for our streaming service for several reasons – their platform is specifically
designed for sharing video.
Village at Jackson Hill PILOT – Planning
General Capital (“GCG”) is under contract to purchase the Village at Jackson Hill, a 40-
unit senior tax credit apartment complex constructed about 15 years ago at 557
McLaren Avenue. GCG intends to apply to MSHDA for 9% tax credits to rehabilitate the
project. In order for the project to receive a high enough score to be competitive to
receive an allocation of credits, they are asking that the City consider adopting a new
PILOT for the program. The existing 4% PILOT terminates in 2027 and MSHDA
requires a PILOT with a longer term to receive the PILOT points.
If successful in receiving a tax credit award, GCG intends to rehabilitate the project.
They anticipate spending approximately $48,000 per unit in hard construction costs.
The rehabilitation will include creating visitable and truly handicap accessible units. In
addition, if successful in receiving an award of the credits the Area Median Income
(“AMI”) unit mix of the project will expand. Currently, the project has 2 60% AMI units,
18 45% AMI units, and 20 40% AMI units. With a new tax credit award, the unit AMI mix
will shift to 5 units at 30% AMI, 5 units at 40% AMI, 1 unit at 50% AMI, 16 units at 40%
AMI, and 13 units at 80% AMI.
With the change in unit mix the gross potential rental revenue at the project will increase
from approximately $260,000 to $330,000. This increase will happen over time, as the
current tenants will not be displaced. Rents will increase in the same manner they have
in the past. As new tenants take occupancy, the rents will increase to the new AMI
limits.
The current owners are paying a 4% PILOT and it expires in 2027. GCG is requesting to
extend the PILOT 25 years (until 2046) and is willing to adjust the PILOT payments to
include a municipal services fee.
Jake Eckholm, Economic Development, provided a summary of the project to the City
Commission. Josh Haffron, GCG, also provided information on the project.
Discussion took place.
Body Camera Purchase – Public Safety
The Public Safety Department (Police) is requesting permission to purchase
Motorla/WatchGuard Body Worn Cameras and In-Car Video Systems for our marked
police cars.
The Public Safety Department (Police) is requesting to contract with
Motorola/WatchGuard to purchase seventy (70) body worn cameras to be worn by
Muskegon Police Offices. In order to integrate our systems, twenty-four (24) in car video
systems will also be purchased, replacing our current L-3/SafeFleet in car systems. We
will be able to merge audio/video files from both body worn camera and in-car video to
be stored and viewed in one file. We would not have this capability if we stayed with L-
3/SafeFleet’s product. In consulting with IT, we were experiencing more long term
technical issues with the performance of our current L-3/SafeFleet product and it was
recommended we upgrade to the Motorola/WatchGuard system. We were able to
negotiate a significant discount to cover the remaining product life of our current system.
Public Safety Director – Chief Jeff Lewis, Captain Dennis Lord, and Mike Muskovin from
Motorola provided an overview of the request and answered questions from the
Commission.
Discussion ensued. This item will be placed before the Commission on Tuesday,
December 8, 2020 for consideration.
Paid Parking Proposal – Development Services
Staff is seeking input on the proposal for paid parking at the city’s beach parks for 2021.
The proposal includes staff recommendations for General Information, Residents/Non-
Residents, Rates, Enforcement, and Communication.
Commissioners made suggestions, asked questions, and discussed the proposal.
Staff will do more work on the proposal to attempt to incorporate recommendations from
the discussion. Another proposal will be presented at a later date.
Convention Center Naming Rights – City Manager
Staff is seeking approval of two agreements: authorizing the City to enter into the
Convention Center Naming Rights and Sponsorship Agreement with VanDyk Mortgage
Corporation; and approving corresponding amendment to the Convention Center
Management Agreement with Parkland.
In an effort to raise additional capital to ensure the highest quality convention center
without levying additional taxes or fees, on November 26, 2019, staff was authorized to
identify strategic advertising partners within the new convention center, the goal was to
raise at least $1 Million over a period not to exceed 20 years.
Staff is pleased to present a naming-rights agreement with VanDyk Mortgage that will
generate $150,000 annually for the next 10 years. Over that 10-year period, the city will
net approximately $1 Million after paying sellers commissions, installing signage, and
compensating Parkland $2,000 per month for convention center operation costs
associated with the VanDyk Agreement. The net income from the initial sponsor
commitment has exceeded expectations and will be used to offset approximately $2
Million in unexpected cost overruns at the facility. Staff intends to seek out other
strategic partners to name/sponsor interior signage.
City Manager Frank Peterson provided a summary of the request for approval of
Convention Center Naming Rights agreement. This item will be considered at the
regular City Commission meeting on Tuesday, December 8, 2020.
Parkland Properties Marina Agreement – City Manager
Staff is seeking approval of the development agreement with Parkland Properties to
construct a dry marina on property mutually encumbered by the City of Muskegon and
Parkland Properties.
Many years ago, as part of the development of the SPX corporate headquarters, a
piece of the land was encumbered for mutual benefit of the property owner and the
public. The result of the agreement is that the land be perpetually used as a parking lot.
Over time, the hotel was developed and the ownership interests of SPX now belong to
Parkland Properties. In an effort to find a higher and better user for the property, staff
worked with Parkland Properties to create a development agreement that results in
redevelopment of the site to accommodate a dry marina and replace the public parking
spaces along the Terrace Point Drive median. The development would also include the
construction of townhomes overlooking Terrace Point Drive and the Shoreline Inn.
The Developer will invest in excess of $4 Million in initial costs to construct the dry
marina and improve the parking along Terrace Point Drive from Shoreline drive to the
Terrace Pointe Traffic Circle. The Developer will also invest in excess of $5 Million in
new residential development on the Parkland-owned property located at 650 Terrace
Point Drive. The project could take as long as 5 years, depending on State and Federal
approval processes.
City Manager Frank Peterson and John Rooks, owner of Parkland Properties, provided
a summary of the proposed agreement. Discussion took place. This item will be
considered at the regular City Commission meeting on Tuesday, December 8, 2020.
Public Comments – No Public Comments were received.
The Worksession Meeting adjourned at 7:52 p.m.

C. MERS Defined Contribution Plan Adoption Agreements Addendum
Finance
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: MERS of Michigan, our Pension Plan Administrator, is
asking all clients to complete and update plan adoption agreements so they
can ensure the details of our plans are accurately documented. Staff is seeking
your approval of the Defined Contribution Plan Agreement Addendums
presented.
MERS of Michigan is asking the City of Muskegon to review and update our
Defined Contribution Plan Adoption Agreements for each of our seven division,
Non-Union, Clerical, 517m DPW, Police Patrol, Command and Fire. I have
attached the Plan Adoption Agreement Addendums for each division. Please
note we have not changed any of the provisions of our plans, this is a MERS
request so they can ensure accuracy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the MERS Contribution Benefit Plan
Adoption Agreement Addendums as presented.
D. Non-Union Pay/Benefits City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of the 2021 Non-Union
Employee Wage and Benefit Program as detailed below.
The following changes are proposed:
1. With CPI below 1% and unknown long-term impacts of COVID-19, we
are seeking an equivalent 0.75% lump sum payment to all non-union
staff in lieu of a cost-of-living adjustment. The payments would be
equalized so all eligible employees received the same lump sum
amount of $500. Based on 52 eligible employees, the total cost of this
benefit is estimated at $26,000, plus applicable payroll taxes and
benefits equal to $5,200.
2. Every March, employees are able to cash out a portion of the value of
their accrued and unused sick time. To receive the full value, the
employee is required to deposit the proceeds directly into a retirement
savings account or a dependent college savings fund. We are asking
to make an exception this year and remove the requirement to invest
those funds into either of those savings accounts. This should be cost-
neutral to the city. We would recommend that this be a one-year
benefit change.

No budget amendment will be necessary.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $31,200 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $31,200
FUND OR ACCOUNT: Various
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the non-union pay employee wage
and benefit program as detailed.
F. Beach Warning System Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Authorize staff to contract with SwimSmart Warning
Systems to provide and install a beach warning system at Pere Marquette Park
and to contract with Windemueller Electric to provide electrician services to
assist with the installation.
Staff has been working on the proposal with Jacob Soter from SwimSmart
Warning Systems that will include installation of beach hazard warning systems
at two locations within Pere Marquette Park. The locations will be at the
bathhouse and at the kite shack building. At each location a wood pole will be
installed with a dome light mounted to the pole, in addition a smaller set of lights
will be mounted on the side of the building facing out towards the parking lot.
The pole mounted light will be a red strobe light that will blink only during high
hazard days on the beach, and we can install a shield if needed to shield the
east side of the lights away from the houses along Beach Street though I would
propose to do this later only if it becomes an issue. Based on preliminary
information the two lights will provide a visual cue for the area from the Water
Filtration Plant north to the Breakwater arms. No audible warning is included. The
building mounted light will be a smaller three colored light in red/yellow/green
that will indicate the NOAA supplied swim conditions for the day. The building
mounted lights are smaller and meant to provide information to beach users as
they move from the parking areas to the beach. Both lights will be wired into the
electric service at each building and will be automatically controlled based on
information provided through the NOAA website. This system will provide
immediate updates supported by NOAA on a consistent basis and eliminate the
need for staff to continuously monitor and adjust throughout the day.
If approved the system would be proposed for installation in the Spring of 2021
and operational for beach season.
Funding is proposed to be drawn from the Parks Department Contractual
Services budget that is currently under budget based on the reduced expenses
incurred to date during the current fiscal year.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $13,600 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
$7,600 SwimSmart Warning Systems
$6,000 Windemueller Electric

FUND OR ACCOUNT: 101-70751-5346
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to contract with SwimSmart Beach
Warning Systems and Windemueller Electric for the installation of a beach
hazard warning system at Pere Marquette Park.
G. CZM Grant Application Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Authorize staff to submit a grant application to the
Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (MDEGLE)
through the Coastal Zone Management Program and provide resolution of
support along with a commitment of matching funds.
The State of Michigan is making available funding through the Coastal Zone
Management (CZM) program to assist communities in supporting Great Lakes
Coastal Zones. Staff would like to pursue a grant application within the program
which requires a 50/50 match. The grant application would be focused on
Grand Trunk Access Site.
If awarded the grant would be used to fund completion of design plans related
to the attached improvements that were previously submitted for an MDNR
Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant which was later retracted. The
proposed plan represents an overall investment of approximately $1.5 Million
dollars into improvements at the site and would be a potential project for
multiple MDNR and USFWS grant opportunities. The estimated cost to prepare
design plans is $100,000.
The goal of the grant would be to prepare a further refined and biddable
design that could be used to pursue additional grant funding opportunities
related to the construction of the proposed improvements for the site.
The earliest grant funding would be available is October 1, 2021 so any match
dollars would be required within the 21/22 budget year.
Submission of the grant application requires a commitment of matching funds
and resolution of support from the City Commission.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $50,000 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $50,000 (FY21/22)
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 404
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve staff to submit a Coastal Zone
Management Grant through the State of Michigan Department of Environment,
Great Lakes, and Energy for improvements at Grand Trunk Access site and
authorize the clerk to sign the resolution providing for support and commitment
of matching funds.
H. DWAM Grant Application Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Authorize staff to submit a grant application to the
Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (MDEGLE)
Page 4 of 17
through the Drinking Water Asset Management Program.
The State of Michigan is making available funding through the Drinking Water
Asset Management (DWAM) program to assist communities in supporting the
goals of asset management. Staff would like to pursue a grant application in the
first quarter (due by January 1). Staff is still working to finalize the details of the
application but it will likely include some or all of the following items:
• Condition verification, and GPS point collection of all hydrants and
valves and incorporation into city GIS system for improved record
keeping and maintenance.
• Field verification of lead service lines. Assistance to perform
excavation and physical verification of questionable areas to guide
future investment.
• Updates to the water main information in the GIS System. The
sanitary sewer and storm sewers were nearly fully collected during
the previous funding cycle (SAW). This would get our water system
at or above the same level of accuracy.
• Update to the system wide hydraulic model. Perform routine
update to the hydraulic model that helps identify solutions to
problem areas and guide future investment to maximize efficiency.
• Update to the financial analysis and verification of rate study for
future years.
The funding for this program comes from the $500M Clean Water investment
announced by the State of Michigan earlier this year. The program offers a total
of $36.5M statewide for these efforts. There is zero match dollars required for this
grant application. No formal resolution of support is required, however we
wanted to make you aware of our intention to apply and offer an opportunity
for comment.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $0 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 591
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to submit for a Drinking Water
Assent Management Grant through the State of Michigan Department of
Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy in the 1st Quarter Application Period.

K. Westwood Change Order #002 Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking authorization to approve Change Order
#002 to the sewer project work on Westwood Street in the Glenside
Neighborhood.
Final quantity measurements have been completed for the water and sewer
work conducted primarily on Westwood Street in the Glenside neighborhood
and the project has been recommended for final acceptance and closeout
Change Order #002 represents an increase to the Contract value of $23,247.87.
Combined with the previously approved Change Order #001 the total change
order value for the project stands at $36,602.20 on an original contract value of
$1,245,042.00 for a net final increase of 2.9%. The approved project budgets
contained a contingency of ~6% so this final balancing does not exceed the
budgeted contingency. Future reforecasts will reduce the total budgeted cost
of this project.
Page 6 of 17
The change order is a result of additional expenses incurred to reconnect the
irrigation at McGraft Park that were not originally anticipated, and various other
small changes throughout the course of the project.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $0 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 590/591-91855
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to approve Change order #002 to

J. Beach Street Expanded Parking Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Authorize staff to approve Amendment #001 to the
contract with DLZ to provide the design engineering services related to design
and construction oversight of the proposed expansion of parking and
Page 8 of 17
construction of a pedestrian boardwalk along Beach Street within Pere
Marquette Park.
Following up on a topic from earlier in November staff has solicited a proposal to
provide engineering services related to constructing additional parking and a
pedestrian boardwalk along Beach Street as a part of the currently active
county water main project.
DLZ provided the original engineering for the project and this amendment
includes the design work necessary to complete a design as shown in the
attachment. DPW reviewed the proposal from DLZ and was unable to provide a
matching service in house based on prior commitments for Engineering
Department staff. The proposed amendment was reviewed and deemed
reasonable based on the estimated cost of the project.
If approved, DLZ will complete the attached design and work with the current
contractor (Hallack Contracting) to prepare a detailed change order for the
additional work.
After design work is completed staff would return to Commission with
Amendment #002 to the DLZ Contract for the Construction Engineering Services
($36,500 as shown in attached proposal) and with a change order for Hallack
Contracting for a TBD amount to amend the existing contract for the Bach

Q. Convention Center Naming Rights City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of two agreements:
authorizing the City to enter the Convention Center Naming Rights and
Sponsorship Agreement with VanDyk Mortgage Corporation; and approving
corresponding amendment to the Convention Center Management
Page 11 of 17
Agreement with Parkland.
In an effort to raise additional capital to ensure the highest quality convention
center without levying additional taxes or fees, on November 26, 2019, staff was
authorized to identify strategic advertising partners within the new convention
center. The goal was to raise at least $1 Million over a period not to exceed 20
years.
Staff is please to present a naming-rights agreement with VanDyk Mortgage
that will generate $150,000 annually for the next 10 years. Over that 10-year
period, the city will net approximately $1 Million after paying sellers commissions,
installing signage, and compensating Parkland $2,000 per month for convention
center operation costs associated with the VanDyk Agreement. The net income
from the initial sponsor commitment has exceeded expectations and will be
used to offset approximately $2 million in unexpected cost overruns at the
facility. Staff intends to seek out other strategic partners to name/sponsor interior
signage.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Naming Rights and Sponsorship
Agreement with VanDyk Mortgage and approve the corresponding 1st
Amendment to the Convention Center Management Agreement with Parkland,
and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreements.
Mario Flores, VanDyk Mortgage, provided some information about the
company and answered questions from Commissioners. VanDyk Mortgage is

2020-94 NEW BUSINESS:
A. Community EnCompass Infill Housing Development Agreement and
Funding Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Community EnCompass has committed their share of
funding for this project through an approved resolution of the Board of Directors.
Staff recommends approving the use of $250,000 of HOME Funds to couple with
Page 15 of 17
$320,000 in contributions from Community EnCompass and retain Community
EnCompass as the builders and marketers of the homes.
In an attempt to further our Economic Equity efforts and to create diversity of
housing price points as we build infill, we have been working for quite some time
with Community EnCompass to try and construct a deal within the Brownfield TIF
and their institutional capacity to construct homes that would be specifically for
buyers at or below 80% AMI. The attached development agreement is based on
other residential construction agreements the City has used and is reflective of
the anticipated costs to construct 3 single family homes on city owned lots at
180 Houston, 1141 Jefferson, and 1259 Sanford. A map is attached with the
locations highlighted. Community EnCompass already receives HOME funds
each year from the City’s CDBG programming as the only Community Housing
Development Organization (CHDO) in the area. This item would increase their
20/21 allotment as well as allocate existing program income for this
development. The total project would have a not-to-exceed budget of
$570,000, with Community EnCompass to be repaid first by proceeds from sales,
and the city second. Any losses incurred by the City would be recouped
through Brownfield TIF.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $250,000
AMOUNT BUDGETED: Consistent with CNS Program Development Plan,
budget amendment required at quarterly reforecast.
FUND OR ACCOUNT: CDBG HOME Funds (Current and previous year
carryover/program income)
Commissioner Rinsema-Sybenga stated a conflict of interest and recused
himself from discussing and voting on this item as his spouse is employed by
Community EnCompass.
Commissioner Ramsey stated a conflict of interest and recused himself from
discussing and voting on this item as he is employed by Community
EnCompass.
Motion by Commissioner Johnson, second by Commissioner Emory, to accept
the development agreement as amended and authorize the Finance
Department to release funds for construction to Community Encompass upon the
signing of the development agreement and meeting the stipulations thereof. The
City Commission deems this to be in the best interest of the City. The Mayor and
Clerk are authorized to sign the development agreement upon waiver of any
conflict by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: Jan 12, 2021 Title: FY2020-21 Sewer Rate Adjustment
Submitted By: Beth Lewis Department: Finance
Brief Summary: As the FY2019-20 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report was finalized it
became evident that the Sewer Fund was in a $3.5 million deficit. This deficit will require an
immediate rate increase of 20% effective January 1, 2021.
Detailed Summary: In FY2018-2019 the Sewer fund had a $979,425 operating loss and in
FY2019-20 had an operating loss of $1,435,021. These losses were directly related to the high
water level and infiltration into our system and have created a deficit of $3,595,965 in the Sewer
Fund.
During the calendar year 2019 the City billed about 1.7 million units of sewage usage which equals
1,271,600,000 gallons, in the same period the county treated and billed us for 2,090,510,000
gallons. This means we are paying to treat 1.64 gallons for every gallon we bill. From FY2018-19
to FY2019-20 our costs to the County for treatment increased 19.5% however during the same
period of time our revenues increased only 2.2%
The sewer rate has increased by 5% in each of the last two fiscal years and as you recall staff had
proposed an 8% increase for the current fiscal year however the Commission only approved a 5%
increase. At this time staff is proposing a 20% increase. For the current fiscal year this increase is
expected to generate an additional $900,000 in revenue. For the current year we are hopeful that
the increase will create an operational surplus and lower the deficit in the Sewer, however there
will still be a deficit in the sewer fund for the current fiscal year. We are hopeful the deficit will go
away in FY21-22.
I have attached an updated budget reforecast that only includes the operational budget for the
current fiscal year for the Sewer Fund. Unfortunately our usage is down which is why the revenue
reforecast increase is less than $900,000. The 2nd Quarter Budget Reforecast will be presented to
the Commission at the first meeting in February.
Amount Requested: Amount Budgeted:
Fund(s) or Account(s): 590 Fund(s) or Account(s): 590
Recommended Motion: To approve the resolution to adjust the FY2020-21 Sewer Rate by 20%.

At a regular meeting of the City Commission of Muskegon, Michigan, held electronically in the City of Muskegon
on January 12, 2021.
RECITALS
A review of the rates for sewer service has been accomplished by the city's staff, recommendations received, and
the City Commission has determined that the following rate changes are justified. Accordingly, this resolution is

THEREFORE, THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MUSKEGON HEREBY RESOLVES:

28, 2020.
2. Charges for residential sewer service shall be changed from a rate per unit (100 cubic feet) of $4.35 to a rate
per unit of $5.22. The change will be effective on January 1, 2021.
3. Charges for commercial/industrial sewer service shall continue to be billed at a rate of 1.25 times (1.25x) the
city rate for residential sewer service. The monthly sewer administration charge shall remain unchanged to $3.00.
4. Charges for all non-metered residential sewer customers will be calculated based on an assumed usage rate
of 12 hundred cu. ft. per month.
5. Unless there is a separate agreement specifying a different billing method, non-resident users of the city sewer
system will be billed at a rate that is double (2x) the city rate for that class of user.
The above changes to be effective as noted above.
This resolution adopted.

Commission Meeting Date: January 12, 2021 Title: Electricity Upgrade at Western Market
Submitted By: Ann Meisch Department: City Clerk
Brief Summary: Our electrician has indicated that we need to upgrade our power at the chalets to
accommodate vendor needs. We have received a quote to install a new 100 amp weather proof service.
The power source is approximately 300’ feet away that the condo association behind the chalets is allowing
us to continue to use.
Detailed Summary: The power that was originally installed was not intended to support heaters and air
conditioners. We quickly learned it was necessary to allow both depending on the season but we are using
more power than the system was designed for. We also have a business interested in joining us in 2021
and, if approved by the committee, they need additional power beyond the two outlets currently offered.
With this proposal, we could accommodate a business with this need now and in the future.
Amount Requested: $6500 Amount Budgeted: $0
Fund(s) or Account(s): General Fund Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A
Recommended Motion: To authorize the City Clerk to hire Lakeshore Electric to upgrade the electricity at
Western Market for a cost of $6500.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: January 12, 2021 Title: Special Event Fees
Submitted By: Ann Meisch Department: City Clerk
Brief Summary: Staff is requesting those events held in 2019 ONLY be allowed a 50% discount up to the
amount of their 2019 invoice for DPW Services, to waive their application fee this year, and allow the City
Manager and Public Safety Director to evaluate policing services actually provided after each event and
determine if a discount may be given. This waiver/reduction of fees does not apply to new events or events
that did not take place in 2019 or events that are not paid up-to-date with previous events.
Detailed Summary: The City recognizes that our established events in Muskegon have been seriously
impacted this past year and some may not be back. Several staff members met with many leaders of such
events to listen to their needs. Staff then met to develop ideas how we may assist understanding staff is
also running with less resources. Staff’s recommendation is to allow a 50% discount for DPW services (ex. If
the invoice for 2019 services was $4,000, the discount can be as much as $2,000. If their 2021 invoice is
$5,000, they receive a $2,000 discount). Police Department services are different because they are actual
costs that the City does incur. The Public Safety Director has indicated he is willing to evaluate the services
needed, if the event had a well thought out plan for safety that was implemented and followed the
guidelines set by the police department. Larger events are required to have a meeting with staff to cover
such details. These changes are only suggested for 2021.
Amount Requested: Amount Budgeted: $0
Fund(s) or Account(s): General Fund Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A
Recommended Motion: To authorize staff to reduce 2021 fees for DPW services for special events up to
50% based on the fees billed in 2019, to waive the application fee, and allow the City Manager and Public
Safety Director to evaluate each event after it has occurred and determine a discount. Any
discounts/waiver of fees apply only to events held in 2019 who wish to continue in 2021.

negotiated, Broker may deposit the funds by interpleader with a court of proper jurisdiction or await further actions by Buyer and Seller.
In the event of litigation involving the deposit, in whole or in part, either the Seller or the Buyer that is not the prevailing party, as
determined by the court, will reimburse the other for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the litigation,
and will reimburse the Broker for any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with any interpleader action
instituted. If the entity holding the Earnest Money Deposit is not the Broker, then to the extent that the terms of any escrow agreement

made by Seller or any real estate salesperson (whether intentionally or negligently) regarding any aspect of the Property or this sale
transaction, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, a written amendment to this Agreement, or a disclosure statement
separately signed by Seller.

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: January 12, 2020 Title: Convention Center Agreements
Submitted By: Frank Peterson Department: City Manager
Brief Summary: Staff is seeking approval of an updated Convention Center Naming Rights and
Sponsorship Agreement with VanDyk Mortgage Corporation.
Detailed Summary: In December, the City Commission approved a naming rights agreement with
VanDyk Mortgage. As we worked toward formal implementation, a number of issues came to our
attention. The items were easy to correct, but both sides felt the cleanest way to correct the
agreement was to resubmit it in its entirety for commission approval. Changes of note are as follows:
1. The costs for VanDyk remain unchanged, with the exception of the rent payment for the
month of January 2021. Because signage installation is not predicted to take longer than
expected, we mutually agreed that their monthly payments should begin January 1. Rent
payments will begin once all exterior signage is installed.
2. Mortgage-related advertising and marketing is heavily regulated to ensure fair and non-
discriminatory lending practices. Accordingly, we needed to make significant changes to
industry exclusivity language, marketing language, trademark usage language, and other
language that gave the city permission to use the VanDyk Mortgage name on promotional
materials. The changes provide more input from VanDyk’s legal team throughout the
process to insure compliance.
3. We recharacterized the future partnership with VanDyk because they cannot be our preferred
vendor for the same reasons listed in #2, but instead, they should be listed as a strategic
partner. All marketing needs to be clear that buyers may use their lender of choice.
4. We cleaned up the liability language specific to liability claims. Parkland, as the operator,
will need to hold VanDyk harmless. The City will agree to work to have VanDyk released
from those types of suits in the event they happen, with the understanding that the City cannot
legally indemnify VanDyk or any other entity. We also increased Parkland’s insurance
requirements to account for this.
Amount Requested: $0 Amount Budgeted: $0
Fund(s) or Account(s): Fund(s) or Account(s):
Recommended Motion: Approve the Naming Rights and Sponsorship Agreement with VanDyk
Mortgage and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreements.

Agenda Item Review Form
Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: 01/12/2021 Title: Marshall Street Elevated Tank Painting
Submitted By: Joe Buthker Department: Public Works - Filtration
Brief Summary: Staff is requesting authorization to contract with Dixon Engineering for professional
services related to painting and repairing the Marshall Street elevated tank.
Detailed Summary:
Staff has worked with Dixon Engineering on a proposal for professional services to oversee the
design, bidding, construction, and post-construction phases of the Marshall Street elevated tank
project. Dixon Engineering has extensive knowledge of the city’s elevated water tanks and has
managed many of our past elevated tank projects and inspections.
Located in the Jackson Hill neighborhood, the Marshall Street tank is highly visible from the Moses
J. Jones Parkway. The exterior tank coating continues to chalk, fade, and lose its gloss. More
importantly, the exterior and interior coatings are beyond their expected lifetimes, and a 2019
inspection found coating deterioration with spot failures and topcoat delamination.
The largest part of this project will include repairs to the interior coating of the tank and a complete
overcoat of the tank exterior. Additionally, the cathodic protection system that prevents corrosion of
the tank has failed and needs to be repaired. Other minor modifications will take place on the tank
to bring it into compliance with safety standards and drinking water regulations.
Dixon Engineering will prepare design plans for the project and assist the city in soliciting bids from
contractors to perform the work. Bids for the contractors will be brought back to the commission
for consideration after they are received.
Amount Requested: $49,750 Amount Budgeted: $325,000
Fund(s) or Account(s): 591-92035 Fund(s) or Account(s): 591-92035
Recommended Motion:
Authorize staff to contract with Dixon Engineering in the amount of $49,750 for professional
services to oversee the painting and repairs of the Marshall Street elevated tank.

Exhibits: A, C, GP, IR Contract No: 22-61-06-03
EXHIBIT C: Agreement Between
Owner and DIXON
BASIS OF FEES, INVOICING AND PAYMENT
General Provisions of Article 4 of the Agreement has been moved to this EXHIBIT C:
Part 1 BASIS OF FEES
C1.00 Owner’s Responsibility:
A. Owner shall pay DIXON for Basic (Project Management and Contract Administration), Resident
Project Representative (RPR), and Additional Services as detailed below and as summarized in
Attachment 1 to EXHIBIT C. (Exhibit C-1).
C1.01 Basis:
A. Hourly rates of DIXON’s employee are per classification in the Standard Hourly Rate and
Reimbursable Expense Schedule included in this Exhibit C as Exhibit C Attachment 2. (Ex C-2)
A classification that has a range of fees, reflects varying levels of experience within that
classification. DIXON reserves the right to select the level of RPR and classification. This
decision is at DIXON’s discretion only and will be dependent primarily on experience with Owner
selected Contractor as well as other factors.
1. Reimbursable expenses are those expenses directly related to and resulting from this Project.
These expenses are primarily living expenses and mileage.
C1.02 Methods of Rate Calculation and Definitions including Limitations:
A. Standard Hourly Rate (SHR) Method: An amount equal to the cumulative hours charged to the
Project by each classification of DIXON’s personnel, times Standard Hourly Rates and Overtime
rates for each applicable billing classification. (Exhibit C-2)
1. The SHR method may be used for all services. It is more commonly used on portions of
various Phase Services where scheduling and speed are controlled by the Contractor or
unforeseen project expenses. (Phase 3 Construction, Basic, and RPR services, and for
Additional Services during all phases. Overtime rates apply on weekends, holiday, and over
40 hours per week. When accounting for the 40 hours it applies over 40 hours worked
between Monday and Friday, weekend rates are already at Overtime rate. Holiday pay also
does not contribute toward the accounting for 40 hours.)
2. The SHR charged by DIXON constitutes full and complete compensation for DIXON services
including labor costs, overhead, and profit but not Reimbursable Expenses.
3. The Standard Hourly Rates per employee classification listed in Attachment C-2 do not
include reimbursable expenses. The estimated Reimbursable Expenses are NOT calculated and
averaged over the classification rate.
a. The estimator calculates the number of days a project is expected to require and calculates
manpower required to match number of hours and services required.
b. The estimator then calculates Reimbursable Expenses based on the same criteria.
c. Both the total manpower estimate, and Reimbursable Expenses total estimate are added.
And the total estimate is included in the fee schedule shown in Attachment C-1.
B. Lump Sum (LS) Method: One agreed fee for completing an agreed defined scope of services. The
Lump Sum Method fee charged by DIXON constitute full and completed compensation for
DIXON’s services including labor costs, overhead, and profit, and reimbursable expenses.
C. The Lump Sum Method is more commonly used by DIXON for portions of the Phases where
DIXON has control over a greater percentage of unknowns, such as the Technical Specifications,
Bidding and Contract Documents, and Post Construction Phases excluding fees for Additional
Services.
1. DIXON may use a Lump Sum for the entire project.
Agreement Owner: City of Muskegon Page 9 of 20
Exhibits: A, C, GP, IR Contract No: 22-61-06-03
D. Unit Price (UP) Method: Can be considered individual Lump Sum amounts. Reimbursable
expenses are calculated and included in Unit Price methods.
1. The Unit Price Method is used when DIXON completes Hold Point Observations, Project
Progress or Preconstruction Meetings, known, controlled portions of the Contract and
unknown Post Construction (Additional Services).
2. Exhibit J Amendment: If Amendment changes Scope of Services then Additional Services
may be negotiated Lump Sum or Standard Hourly Rate Method.
2. Exhibit K Addendum: Addenda items (if any) may be negotiated according to any agreed
method.
3. Subconsultants or Subcontractor Service Fees are not included in the SHR, LS, or UP
methods. DIXON will invoice for Subconsultant’s or Subcontractor’s actual invoiced amount
times a factor of 1.20. The 1.20 factor includes DIXON’s overhead and profit associated with
DIXON’s responsibility for the administration of such services.
E. Not every Method of Rate Calculation may be used in this or any Contract, but every contract may
be amended by using Exhibit K. If additional Work proposed in Exhibit K involves a different
Method of Rate Calculation, it will be clearly defined herein.
C1.03 Definitions including Limitations:
A. Basic Services to be performed are identified as Basic Services in Exhibit A, or by reference, in
the General Conditions (GC-700-18) of the Owner/Contractor Construction Documents. Basic
Services are generally calculated using the SHR method. These services are contracted services
and thus are prior authorized.
B. RPR Services contractually agreed services per Exhibit A or by reference, in the General
Conditions (GC-700-18) of the Owner/Contractor Construction Document RPR services. These
services are primarily observation during the Construction phase. RPR Services are generally
calculated using the SHR method for Full Time or Daily services and by Unit Price for Hold Point
Observations. Often a Contract for RPR services involves a combination of the SHR and the Unit
Price method. These are contracted services and thus are prior authorized.
C. Contingent Services some services are Basic to every contract such as Preconstruction Meeting
and review of Final Pay Request. Other Basic Services and the Project Manager’s time associated
with them are unknown. Some services are not used on all projects, such as review of multiple
Pay Requests, Change Orders, Field Orders, and Work Change Directives. These are services
which may or may not be needed, and thus Contingent. Contingent Services are generally
calculated using the SHR method but may be Lump Sum or Unit Price method. These are
contracted services and thus are prior authorized.
D. Additional Services are services outside of the Scope of Services as defined in Exhibit A. These
are NOT contracted services and prior authorization in the form of Exhibit K- Addendum to
Agreement is required. The calculation of fees is Work dependent and may be calculated by the
SHR method, or Lump Sum or Unit Price.
E. Antenna Services are defined in Ex B and authorized by Exhibit K – Antenna Addendum. The
calculation of the services is usually a combination of Unit Price and SHR methods. These are
contracted services (by addendum) and thus are prior authorized.
C1.04 Fees:
A. Contracted Fees are detailed in this Exhibit C Attachment 1.
B. Contingency Allowance Fees if identified or requested, are intended to allow the flexibility to
continue the Project and Services, without the need for an Addendum for additional fees.
Contingent Fees may be transferred within the Project Phase or transferred to other project Phases
as needed. Transfer does not require prior authorization. It is intended that any fees in this
Contingency be used when other accounts are exhausted or minor Additional Services are
required. Contingency fees unused will not be invoiced. Basic and/or RPR Fees may be increased
to accomplish the same benefits of a Contingency Allowance.
Agreement Owner: City of Muskegon Page 10 of 20
Exhibits: A, C, GP, IR Contract No: 22-61-06-03
C. Set-Off Fees contractual Set-off: (Applies to Construction and Post Construction Phases only) as
defined in the Technical Specifications and General Conditions of the Owner/Contractor Contract,
is a Contractually agreed remedy for small violations or nonadherence of the Contract terms which
result in extra or unnecessary expenses to the Owner. The cost for these unnecessary expenses are
not foreseen and cannot be calculated. They are the same SHR or Unit Price method, that had the
service been necessary would have been invoiced to Owner. These services generally do not
require prior approval of Owner, because they are required in the administration of the Contract.
Set-off fees are invoiced to the Owner, who pays DIXON. The Owner can then Set-off these
charges from amounts owed to the Contractor.
1. A few examples of Set-off Fees are when the Owner has incurred extra charges or engineering
costs related to:
a. Excessive submittal review,
b. Excessive evaluations of proposed substitutes,
c. Tests and inspections, or return Hold Point Observations to complete Field Work that were
determined to be a failed inspection and,
d. Work is defective, require correction or replacement including additional inspection costs.
2. Set-off is only used during the Construction and Post Construction Phases where additional
Observation or engineering services are required to correct failed Work.
C1.05 Estimated Fee:
A. The SHR Method of Rate Calculation is an estimate. The SHR Method is prepared based on
extensive experience and is intended to be conservative.
1. Calculating SHR includes, DIXON’s estimate of the amounts that will become payable for
specified services are only estimates for planning purposes, are not binding on the parties, and
are not the minimum or maximum amounts payable to DIXON under the agreement.
2. When estimated compensation amounts have been stated herein and it subsequently becomes
apparent to DIXON that the total compensation amount thus estimated will be exceeded,
DIXON shall give Owner notice thereof, allowing Owner to consider its options, including
suspension or termination of DIXON's services for Owner's Convenience. Upon notice,
Owner and DIXON promptly shall review the matter of services remaining to be performed
and compensation for such services. Owner shall either exercise its right to suspend or
terminate DIXON's services for Owner's convenience, agree to such compensation exceeding
said estimated amount, or agree to a reduction in the remaining services to be rendered by
DIXON, so that total compensation for such services will not exceed said estimated amount
when such services are completed. If Owner decides not to suspend DIXON's services during
the negotiations and DIXON exceeds the estimated amount before Owner and DIXON have
agreed to an increase in the compensation due DIXON or a reduction in the remaining
services, then DIXON shall be paid for all services rendered hereunder.
3. The requirements of minimum work hours and weeks shall remain in effect through
negotiations and the minimum requirements of these paragraphs are not negotiable. An RPR
is a professional, and if he remains on Site, he is guaranteed the minimum number of hours.
Negotiations may Full Time or Daily RPR to Hold Point Observation Services or reduce the
number of Daily Inspections. Then minimum hour requirements apply only to demobilization
if RPR was Full Time.
C1.06 DIXON’s Reimbursable Expenses Schedule and Standard Hourly and Overtime Rates:
A. Attached to this EXHIBIT C is Attachment C-2, Standard Hourly Rate and Reimbursable Expense
Schedule
B. Annual Cost Adjustment – January 1 each year.
1. The Standard Hourly Rates and Reimbursable Expenses Schedule will be adjusted annually as
of the first January 1 date past expiration date printed on Attachment C-2 to reflect equitable

changes in the compensation payable to DIXON. Proposals sent after August 1st will have
Attachment C-2 with effective rates through December 31 of the subsequent year.
2. Unit Price for Hold Point observations and Lump Sum items shall be increased at the same
time as hourly rate by the same percentage increase as Standard Hourly Rates.
3. Notification of these cost adjustments, or the issuance of an Addendum or Change Order are not
required, but DIXON shall endeavor to so advise. Failure to supply notification does not waive
the right for implementing rate increases.
PART 2 INVOICING AND PAYMENT for Services in EXHIBIT A per EXHIBIT C-1:
A. Preparation and Submittal of Invoices: DIXON will prepare invoices in accordance with its
standard invoicing practices and the terms of this EXHIBIT C and Attachments C-1 and C-2.
DIXON will submit its invoices to Owner on a monthly basis. Invoices are due and payable
within 30 days of receipt. Small monthly invoices may be held by DIXON only, for a month or
more and combined.
B. Application to Interest and Principal: Payment will be credited first to any interest owed to DIXON
and then to principal.
C. Failure to Pay: If Owner fails to make any payment due DIXON for services and expenses within 30
days after receipt of DIXON’s invoice, then:
1. Amounts due DIXON will be increased at the rate of 1.0% per month (or the maximum rate of
interest permitted by law, if less) from said 30th day.
D. Disputed Invoices: If Owner disputes an invoice, either as to amount or entitlement, then Owner

Submitted By: Mike Franzak Department: Planning
Brief Summary: Request to amend the PILOT at the Village of Jackson Hill, by General Capital.
Detailed Summary:
General Capital (“GCG”) is under contract to purchase the Village at Jackson Hill, a 40-unit senior tax
credit apartment complex constructed about 15 years ago at 557 McLaren Avenue. GCG intends to
apply to MSHDA for 9% tax credits to rehabilitate the project. In order for the project receive a high
enough score to be competitive to receive an allocation of credits, they are asking that the City consider
adopting a new PILOT for the program. The existing 4% PILOT terminates in 2027 and MSHDA
requires a PILOT with a longer term to receive the PILOT points.
If successful in receiving a tax credit award, GCG intends to rehabilitate the project. They anticipate
spending approximately $48,000 per unit in hard construction costs. The rehabilitation will include
creating visitable and truly handicap accessible units. In addition, if successful in receiving an award of
the credits the Area Median Income (“AMI”) unit mix of the project will expand. Currently, the project
has 2 60% AMI units 18 45% AMI units and 20 40% AMI units. With a new tax credit award, the unit
AMI mix will shift to 5 units at 30% AMI, 5 units at 40% AMI, 1 unit at 50% AMI, 16 units at 40% AMI
and 13 units at 80% AMI.
With the change in unit mix the gross potential rental revenue at the project will increase from
approximately $260,000 to $330,000. This increase will happen over time, as the current tenants will not
be displaced. Rents will increase in the same manner they have in the past. As new tenants take
occupancy, the rents will increase to the new AMI limits.
The current owners are paying a 4% PILOT and it expires in 2027. GCG is requesting to extend the
PILOT 25 years (until 2046) and is willing to adjust the PILOT payments to include a municipal services
fee.
In addition, it also appears that a corner of one of the buildings encroaches onto City ROW. The applicant
is seeking an encroachment easement that will help with any liability with the building location.
Amount Requested: Amount Budgeted:
Fund(s) or Account(s): Fund(s) or Account(s):
Recommended Motion: To approve the amended PILOT, including the Municipal Services
Agreement. Also, to approve the encroachment easement.

PAID PARKING POLICY
JANUARY 2021
OVERVIEW:
The City of Muskegon instituted paid parking at all beaches in the summer of 2020 with the goal
to offset intense maintenance costs at these extremely popular parks. Among the parks,
maintenance includes beach and sand grading, pavement repair, trash clean up and removal,
public restroom facilities, playgrounds, boardwalk repair, patrol, equipment costs, snow removal,
and administration. Due to the popularity of the beaches, a large percentage of the overall Parks
Department budget was spent on just five of the city’s 34 parks. Over the years, other city parks
have suffered because funding was inadequate to cover the maintenance, operational, and
capital needs.
The kiosks used to collect payment at the beaches were also installed at the city’s boat launches
to provide a more convenient and accurate process for collecting fees. While the boating season
is typically April through November, and the enforcement of payment at the city’s launches
matches that season, several launch sites and Harbour Towne beach are used heavily by ice
fishers.
The City of Muskegon maintains this policy with the objectives of:
• increasing revenue for parks and launches,
• providing for improved amenities at parks and launches citywide,
• encouraging healthy outdoor activities,
• enhancing the city’s image
• enhancing our ability to attract visitors, residents and businesses to our community
BEACH PARKING PASSES AND LAUNCH PERMITS:
General
All resident and seasonal beach parking passes and seasonal launch permits will be
stickers which must be affixed to the vehicle’s windshield.
Beach parking passes can be purchased in person at Treasury, Police Records, and Public
Works or by calling Treasury.
Launch permits can be purchased in person at Treasury and Public Works or by calling
Public Works.
Kiosk receipts can be traded for stickers at Treasury, Police Records, Public Works and
participating vendors.
Residents
If requested between February 1 and April 30, two beach parking passes will be allowed
per address.

Hello Jake,
I am writing today to oppose Lakeshore Federal Credit Union, FKA Central Paper Employees FCU,
being included in the Lakeside BID program. I understand the BID, and our previous CEO was on the
BID committee that is trying to bring the BID program to Lakeside. However, I believe the BID should
end at the business district which has always been considered McCracken. None of the business
west of McCracken are the type of businesses that would benefit directly from the BID in my opinion
other than having our sidewalks plowed in the winter. Our board of directors agree that $1882.21 is
a hefty bill for sidewalk plowing. I do not see the mill property being developed in the next 3 years
to warrant the few businesses west of McCracken as an actually business district. I have been told it
is a done deal but still wanted to make my opinion as the CEO of the credit union known.
We have been Lakeshore Federal Credit Union since 1998, I will have to figure out getting our name
changed I guess with the tax/zoning/tax department. Thank you for listening to me and we of
course will abide by what is ultimately decided. Our Parcel Number is 61-24-205-597-0017-00

Deb

I am Sheila Thorsen and own properties 1748 and 1945 Lakeshore Drive. I hereby
are notifying you that I object to the assessed amount against my property at 1945
Lakeshore Drive. The city has been given ample opportunities to collect money from
property owners astronomical times therefore the city should bear these costs.
Timing under covid restrictions is not a smart economical opportunity when people

Jake,
John and I have already notified you by email about our answer to the lakeside business
improvement district. The answer then was "no". If you are required to send the second and
final notice out to the neighborhood, then this is our answer this time. No. We will not be
able to attend the virtual live meeting on January 12th. Even though your letter states our
assessment will be "0", we do not have much faith in the voting system.

Agreement
Submitted By: LeighAnn Mikesell Department: Development Services
Brief Summary: Staff is seeking approval of the development agreement and associated PILOT
and municipal services agreements with the Muskegon Housing Commission.
Detailed Summary: The proposed agreement is based on Low Income Housing Tax Credits being
awarded by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority for work at Hartford Terrace. If the
LIHTC is not awarded by March 31, 2022, the agreement is voided. The proposed PILOT rate is 2% of
contract rents with a municipal services fee of an additional 2% of contract rents. The city can expect
to more than double the annual payment received from this development.
Hartford Terrace serves some of the most vulnerable of our city’s population, including elderly, persons
with disabilities, and those making 30% or less of the area median income. The developer is planning
to invest $18,000,000 into the property including major building systems, elevators, apartment
interiors, common areas, windows, and sitework. Ten of the existing 160 apartments are currently
accessible, and the renovation will add another 6 accessible units.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Agreement between HARTFORD TERRACE LIMITED DIVIDEND
HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, 1080 Hartford Street, Muskegon,
Michigan, (“Hartford LDHA”), and MUSKEGON HOUSING COMMISION, 1080 Hartford,
Muskegon, Michigan (“MHC”) (Hartford LDHA and MHC are jointly referred to as
“Developer”) and CITY OF MUSKEGON, 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan (“City”)
is made pursuant to the following terms:
Background
A. MHC was a department of City. The City owned Hartford Terrace, a housing
development located at 1080 Hartford Street in Muskegon, Michigan for persons with
an annual income of less than 30% of the county’s average medium income at the
time of initial occupancy and are either elderly or have a disability (“Hartford
Terrace”), and a scattered site housing program. MHC operated Hartford Terrace, the
scattered site housing project and Section 8 housing vouchers, which was a program
to pay private landlords to rent properties to eligible individuals at below market rate.
B. With adoption of Public Act 338 of 1996, being MCL Section 125.661a, MHC
became a separate legal entity and real property owned by City and managed by
MHC was transferred to MHC. Contemporaneous with the separation, the City and
MHC entered into an agreement whereby MHC would pay an annual service fee
equal to 10% of “annual shelter rents” to the City, which included rents from both
Hartford Terrace and the scattered sites.
C. All of the above referenced programs are funded, at least in part, by the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). HUD is proposing to
have the MHC convert Hartford Terrace from a grant funded housing project to a
Section 8 rental subsidy in the form of project based vouchers, through the federal
Rental Assistance Demonstration (“RAD”) process.
D. As part of the current proposed RAD transition, MHC has applied to the Michigan
State Housing Development Authority (“MSHDA”) for federal Low Income Housing
Tax Credits (“LIHTC”). The rehabilitation, through securing and investment in the
LIHTC, will result in approximately an $18 million investment in Hartford Terrace.
E. Contingent upon MSHDA awarding approximately $1,440,000.00 in LIHTC, the
current Muskegon City Code Section 18-83 and agreement to pay an annual service
fee shall be limited to assets held by MHC, but specifically excluding Hartford
Terrace.
F. Contingent upon MSHDA awarding approximately $1,440,000.00 in LIHTC to
Hartford LDHA, a Contract for Housing Exemption Agreement (“PILOT”) and a
Municipal Services Agreement between Hartford LDHA and City shall become
effective.
Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. City shall amend Muskegon Code Section 18-83 to exclude Hartford Terrace from the
annual service fee. The Amendment shall become effective only after MSHDA awards
approximately $1,440,000.00 in LIHTC. If such award is not made March 31, 2022, the
ordinance amendment shall be voided nunc pro tunc. A form of the ordinance
amendment is attached as Exhibit 1.
2. City and Developer shall execute a PILOT Agreement, which shall become effective only
after MSHDA awards approximately $1,440,000.00 in LIHTC to Hartford LDHA. If
such award is not made by March 31, 2022, the PILOT Agreement shall be voided. The
PILOT Agreement shall require an annual payment of 2% of “contract rents” less
“utilities”. “Contract rents” and “Utilities” shall be defined as provided in Muskegon
Code Section 82-46 in effect as of January 1, 2021. A form of the PILOT Agreement is
attached as Exhibit 2.
3. City and Developer shall execute a Municipal Services Agreement. The Municipal
Services Agreement shall become effective only after MSHDA awards approximately
$1,440,000.00 in LIHTC to Hartford LDHA. The Municipal Services Agreement shall
require an annual payment of 2% of “contract rents” less “utilities”. “Contract rents” and
“utilities” shall be defined as provided in Muskegon Code Section 82-46 in effect as of
January 1, 2021. A form of the Municipal Services Agreement is attached as Exhibit 3.
4. If MSHDA does not award approximately $1,440,000.00 in LIHTC to Hartford LDHA
by March 31, 2022, this Development Agreement shall be terminated and any obligations
pursuant to this Agreement shall be null and void.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Agreement on the dates indicated
below.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: January 12, 2021 Title: Amendment to the PUD at Harbor 31
Submitted By: Mike Franzak Department: Planning
Brief Summary: Request to amend the final Planned Unit Development at 600 Shoreline Dr
(Harbor 31), by Harbor 31, LLC.
Detailed Summary:
Staff consulted with the attorneys at Miller Canfield regarding the public boardwalk issue. It does
not appear that Condominium documents make the Boardwalk Easement available for public use. If
the easement had a public use component, the Master Deed would have had to stated that
expressly. The Master Deed does suggest that tenants of the units, guests, employees, and invitees
are permitted to use the easement. Since the developer owns most of the land in the condo
agreement, it appears that guests of future developments will be able to access the entire boardwalk.
Also, the developer proposes to develop the entire shoreline with boat slips. Units A, B, H and I have
what appear to be identical riparian rights under Riparian easements recorded in 2006, which grant each
unit owner the right to use the entire lakeshore “to the same extent as if the Benefitted Parcel was
adjacent to the Lake,” including for the installation of permanent docks and marinas. The land area
described as falling with the easement area, however, is the “Common Areas” of the condominium
project, an apparent (though not certain) reference to the General Common Elements, which consist of
the Boardwalk Easement running along the shoreline and the Walkway Easement between units H and
I. Unless Units A, B, H and I are all owned by the developer of the marina, the developer’s right to
develop beyond the shoreline running parallel to units owned by the developer appears to be an open
question.
A motion was made to request to amend the final Planned Unit Development at 600 Shoreline Dr be
recommended for approval to the City Commission, with the following conditions as listed in the staff
recommendation: 1) that public easements for access to the existing boardwalk and new waterfront
gathering space shall be recorded with the Register of Deeds before any building permits are issued,
and 2) each separate use/building needs to individually obtain site plan approval. Any variation from the
PUD, in terms of use or building placement, is acceptable as long as it meets the underlying zoning
(FBC, Mainstreet Waterfront) requirements. The motion was unanimously approved.
Amount Requested: Amount Budgeted:
Fund(s) or Account(s): Fund(s) or Account(s):

Commission Action
Hearing, Case 2020-28: Request to amend the final Planned Unit Development at 600 Shoreline Dr (Harbor 31), by
Harbor 31, LLC.
SUMMARY
1. In the year 2000, Lakefront Development LLC was approved for a mixed-use PUD at this site. Only a couple of
the developments from the plan were built and the remaining developable lots were sold to a new developer.
2. While the original site plan cannot be located, the enclosed resolution states the conditions put on the PUD for
approval.
3. The original PUD also described the publicly accessible boardwalk, however, staff cannot located any actual
recording of the said publicly accessible land. This proposed development project meets most of the standards
of the underlying zoning (FBC, Mainstreet Waterfront), however, the original PUD should still be honored
because of the publicly accessible boardwalk agreement.
4. Please see the enclosed Project Narrative and Site Plans.
5. The plan calls for two public access points to the water. One to the boardwalk, located north of the traffic
circle. The other to a seating area west of the traffic circle, between buildings G and H.
6. The plan assumes the successful vacation of a portion of Viridian Dr, which is the topic of the following case.
7. Additional staff comments will be presented at the meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following conditions:
1. Public easements for access to the existing boardwalk and new waterfront gathering space shall be recorded
with the Register of Deeds before any building permits are issued.
2. Each separate use/building needs to individually obtain site plan approval. Any variation from the PUD, in
terms of use or building placement, is acceptable as long as it meets the underlying zoning (FBC, Mainstreet
Waterfront) requirements.

PROJECT NARRATIVE HARBOR 31 PUD AMENDMENT
Located on the Shores of Muskegon Lake in Muskegon Michigan, Harbor 31 (H31) will create
various residential living opportunities as well as provide additional Hotel and Retail and Office
space. H31 will incorporate the scale and materials of a traditional central business district in a
contemporary architectural style.
The connectivity to Muskegon Lake is a key component of the Harbor 31 project. H31 will create
additional public connectivity to the Lake as well as establish the Harbor 31 marina to serve the
residents of Harbor 31 as well as the public. As part of this effort, our plan is to create an in-out
boat storage and retail sales facility as an added amenity.
Harbor 31 master plan will consist of the following projects:
• Viridian Shores:
o 15 single family homes and 16 duplex units adjacent to the boardwalk with direct
access to boat docks. A community pool will be built to serve the Viridian Shores
and Viridian Place projects
• Boardwalk Flats:
o Four Story / 130 units market rate apartments with views of Muskegon Lake and
direct access to the marina.
• Harbor 31 Dry Dock:
o Interior boat storage building and a separate retail boat sales and rental building
• Trilogy Assisted Living:
o 105 Bed Assisted Living Facility
• Harbor 31 Commons:
o Four story / Mixed use. Ground floor retail with 88 apartment units above.
• Viridian Place:
o 48 Unit Multi Story Residential Townhouse project
• Hotel:
o Flag hotel with proximity to the new Muskegon Convention Center
• Office Building:
o 16,000 square foot multi-tenant office building
• Harbor 31 Marina:
o 100+/- Boat docks
Harbor 31 will bring additional residents and services to the rapidly growing downtown
Muskegon market. Our goal is to develop a project that will add to the reimagined shoreline and
be a vital component of downtown Muskegon.

RE: Harbor 31, proposed PUD Amendment.
Dear Mr. Franzak:
Please be advised that the law firm of Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge represents Lake Front
Condominium Association, Inc., who owns property affected by the proposed Harbor 31 PUD
Amendment. I write to you now regarding the hearing to take place later this afternoon regarding the
proposed amendment. In reviewing the proposal, I note the applicant is proposing a marina allowing for
100+/- boat docks. From what I can see the proposed boat docks appear to trespass upon my client’s
riparian rights.
Please note for the record that my client objects to the proposed amendment and I submit it would be
irresponsible for the City to approve the PUD Amendment without the benefit of a riparian survey. The
City should require that the applicant provide the planning department with a certified riparian survey
prior to acting on the application. Failure to do so will only invite unnecessary litigation that could
potentially be avoided by addressing this issue now rather than later.
Mr. Thomas Vitale from my office will be participating in the hearing this afternoon and will be
available to answer any questions regarding any of the foregoing or to address any issues that might
come up during the hearing.
Sincerely,
Kevin B. Even
KBE
