A. Approval of Minutes City Clerk
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the minutes for the November 23, 2021
Regular Meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the minutes.
B. Fireworks Display Permit for City of Muskegon City Clerk
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is requesting permission to sign an agreement with
Pyrotecnico Fireworks and spend up to $60,000 for expenses related to a
fireworks show in downtown Muskegon. If granted, Pyrotecnico Fireworks is
requesting approval of a fireworks display permit for Saturday, July 2, 2022 in
downtown Muskegon. The fire Marshall will inspect the fireworks on the day of
the event.
The proposed location of the fireworks is in the attached map. Both property
owners have been contacted and are willing to let us close off their property
within the yellow circle for the duration of the day and red circle during the
event.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: Up to $60,000 FUND OR ACCOUNT: DPW
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize the clerk to sign the agreement for
fireworks in downtown Muskegon with Pyrotecnico and authorize the
expenditures not to exceed $60,000.
C. Farmers Market Heating & HVAC City Clerk
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Tim Harvey, or builder, sought quotes to replace the
heating and HVAC at the Farmers Market at an amount of $24,420.
Tim was only able to receive on quote. Currently the barn has no air
conditioning and the heat source does not work as well as it should. Replacing
the current system will help us with future plans to revamp the barn as an all year
facility to rent to local vendors including farmers, Kitchen 242 users, and vendors
looking to move downtown. This is not a budgeted item and would come out of
the Farmers Market budget.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: Up to $30,000 FUND OR ACCOUNT: Farmers Market
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize staff to proceed in upgrading the
heating/HVAC at the Farmers market with Jewett Heating and Cooling at a cost
not to exceed $30,000.

employment services. The current agreement expires on December 31, 2021.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the agreement with GoodTemps
Temporary Staffing Services, Inc. and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign
the agreement extension.
F. Non-Union Part Time and Limited Term Wage Matrix EEO & Employee
Relations
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The 2022 wage matrix has been updated to reflect the
anticipated part time and limited term positions for next year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the updated wage matrix for the non-
union part time limited term employees for 2022.
G. MDOT Property Purchase Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking formal resolution confirming purchase of
excess property from MDOT for use as a public open space.
The parcel in question is located along the southwest side of 9th Street between
Muskegon Avenue and Webster Avenue. The property is legally owned and
controlled by the State of Michigan (MDOT) as a part of the limited access
highway right-of-way for Shoreline Drive.
City staff has pursued purchase of this parcel from MDOT for consideration as a
skate park site. Recently alternative sites have been identified that are a better
fit for locating a skate park and this site is no longer planned for use in that
fashion. However, the work had been done to acquire the excess property and
staff would like to see that through.
The immediate plans for this site involve retaining the site as a public open
space, with potential consideration for alternative uses if/when the 10-year
reverter clause is released.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $5,000 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
FUND OR ACCOUNT: 101-70751-5703
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Resolution for purchase of the
excess property from MDOT and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign.
H. National Highway System (NHS) Revisions Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking to have portions of Peck Street, Sanford
Street, and Terrace Street reclassified in terms of their NHS (National Highway
System) and NFC (National Functional Classifications) status.
Staff has been working for several years with the West Michigan Shoreline
Regional Development Commission (WMSRDC), the Michigan Department of
Transportation (MDOT), and the City of Muskegon Heights to have several
segments of street reclassified to better suit their current use.
Page 3 of 13
Historically Sanford, Peck and Terrace have served as state highways, and as
critical routes to key Department of Defense industrial sites in the area
(Continental Motors). This importance led to the streets being classified as NHS
routes which in turn requires them to be constructed with wider lanes and
heavier pavement to accommodate larger and heavier traffic.
As times have changed the need for these roads to be classified as NHS routes
has also changed. The proposal would remove these routes from the NHS
entirely. In addition, the roads will be reduced in classification from their current
standing as principal arterial routes down to a more appropriate level of minor
arterial.
This change does not impact our Act 51 funding, and the roads will remain
eligible for federal aid. The benefit derived from making this change is that the
roads can be designed and reconstructed in such a way that does not require
overly wide lanes that encourage speeding and heavy pavement designs
which increase project costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Support the change in NHS and NFC
designations for Peck, Sanford and Terrace Streets and authorize the City
Manager to sign the letter formally requesting the changes.
I. Project 91851(Spring & Yuba Streets) – Change Orders & Engineering
Services Amendment Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of Final Contract Modifications
#004 and #005 with Jackson-Merkey Contractors and for approval of a Final
Amendment (#004) of the Engineering Services Agreement with ENG, Inc. for
Project 91851 (Spring/Yuba Street).
Contract Modifications #004 and #005 with Jackson-Merkey Contractors detail
all of the changes to specific work items that were required to successfully
complete the project. There were a number of changes necessary due to the
complex nature of the project along with unforeseen underground conditions in
this oldest area of town. The project has required commission approval for
Change Orders starting with Change order #003 which added the work on
Yuba Street and was above the staff approval threshold. If Contract
Modification #004 and #005 are approved the final project contract amount will
be $3,477,719 on an original project amount of $3,075,529 representing a 13%
increase of which over 5% is a result of the additional Local Streets work on Yuba
Street not related to the original project.
Engineering services Amendment #004 includes increased engineering costs
required to provide engineering oversight and support on the project, which
took considerably more time, and effort than originally budgeted. If approved,
the Engineering Cost for this project will be $364,105 which represents
approximately 11% of the Construction Contract value and is in alignment with
industry and expected standards for a project of this scope and scale.
Page 4 of 13
All of the SRF/DWRF project carried a budgeted contingency of 6%. Approval of
these Change orders and the Engineering Services Amendment will not exceed
the budgeted contingency on the project package as a whole as several other
projects completed well below their contingency amounts.
For reference, if approved, the project will have remaining expenses estimated
at $973,111.40 and a remaining budget of $975,607.00, no future reforecasts are
anticipated.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: AMOUNT BUDGETED:
Change Order #004 - $156,367.69 $975,607 Remaining
Change Order #005 - $104,697.69 (202/203/590/591-91851)
ESA #004 - $63,700.00
FUND OR ACCOUNT: Various-91851-5346
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to approve Change Orders #004
and #005 with Jackson-Merkey Contractors , and authorize staff to approve
Engineering Services Amendment #004 with ENG, Inc. for the work on Spring and
Yuba Streets.
J. Edgewater Resources Engineering Services Agreement Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of two (2) Engineering Services
Agreements with Edgewater Resources related to the development of public
infrastructure at Adelaide Pointe.
Both of these Engineering Services Agreements cover items for development
that are partially funded by the City and partially funded by the Developer. As
such, the standard purchasing policy was not used for procurement. The
proposal was requested from the developers engineer as they are the best
suited to complete this joint investment portion of the project based on their
prior work at the site. The remaining public infrastructure items (streets, water,
sewer, etc…) will be recommended for Commission Approval via a Request for
Proposals process at a later date.
• The work contained within the first ESA encompasses the permitting
required for the work in the East Basin (Formerly the Hartshorn Marina Small
Boat Basin). The project work will require completion of a Joint Permit
Application to MDEGLE with concurrence and review from the USACE and
USCG.
• The work contained within the second ESA encompasses the design,
bidding and construction engineering for the lift well and launch ramp
elements of the east basin. As noted above, these are considered public
infrastructure improvements per the Development Agreement and
Brownfield Plan.
Page 5 of 13
In conjunction with the work outlined in these two ESA documents Edgewater
Resources will also be completing permitting and engineering for the non-public
portions of the work at developer’s expense within the east basin which includes
additional dredging, construction of shopper docks, and other items.
Staff is recommending that these ESA’s be approved conditional to the sale for
the bonds to finance the public infrastructure on the site.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: AMOUNT BUDGETED:
Permitting ESA = $15,000 Estimated $10M Bond Revenue for Public
Lift Well & Ramp ESA = $85,000 Infrastructure at a TBD Future Date
FUND OR ACCOUNT: TBD Brownfield Fund
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to execute the Engineering
Services Agreements from Edgewater Resources related to the work in the East
Basin, contingent upon successful sale and closure of the bonds for the public
infrastructure at this site.
K. Project 92002 Change Order #003 - Peck Street from Merrill to Apple Public
Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval of Final Contract Modifications
#003 with McCormick Sand for their work on the northern portion of the Peck
Street project.
Contract Modifications #003 represents the final adjustment of quantities and
cost for the project to bring it to final completion. The project as a whole will
finish at $874,335.87 which represents an increase of $31,197.05 over the As-Bid
amount ($843,138.82) representing an increase of 3.7%
The largest increase was a result of requiring additional length of water line to
replace the water services along the project (>$24K). Under the new state
guidelines we must replace the service line to a point within the house and
inconvenience the property owner a minimum number of times.
The project will finish very near the programmed budget once final engineering
and testing costs are accounted. A slight adjustment via a future reforecast is
possible to match the final project amounts.
This change order is brought for Commission consideration as it exceeds the staff
approval threshold of $30K. The previous two change orders were within the staff
approval limits.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: AMOUNT BUDGETED:
Change Order #003 - $35,929.16 $650,000 (202-92002)
$300,000 (591-92002)
FUND OR ACCOUNT: Various-91851-5346
Page 6 of 13
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to approve Change Orders #003
with McCormick Sand for the work on City project 92002 (Peck Street – Merrill to
Apple).
N. Social District 2022 Fee Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City Commission is asked to consider the
2022 fee for Muskegon Downtown Social District stickers.
The city charges for social district stickers placed on establishments’ branded
cups that allow patrons to take and consume alcoholic drinks in the Social
District Common Area. The first year the city charged two fees, one for regular
days and a higher fee for special events. The average cost of fees were 60
cents with 62 percent of the stickers sold at the special event prices. With
consensus support of the establishments, staff recommends a sing 75-cent
sticker fee for the entire year. This same fee would be charged to Lakeside
Social District establishments. The downtown fee is estimated to raise $92,250
with the 25 percent increase needed to help cover city costs of producing
special events in the downtown social district and startup costs in Lakeside. All
sticker revenues will cover direct social district costs or indirect city special event
costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve a 75-cent city social district sticker
fee for the 2022 calendar year.
Motion by Commissioner Johnson, second by Vice Mayor Hood, to accept the
consent agenda as presented minus items, D, L, and M.

L. Arena Vending City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking approval to purchase three vending
machines for Mercy Health Arena.
Arena staff has been unable to consistently open the concession stands in a
profitable manner during small events such as youth hockey, high school
hockey, etc. Staff is recommending that three vending machines be purchased
to provide snacks, cold drinks, and hot drinks during these times. Staff has
received a number of quotes, and it is likely that multiple vendors will be used to
complete the purchase(s). We are seeking approval to expend $25,000 to
purchase the three machines. A sample of the machine types and costs is
attached.
Although this specific purchase was not budgeted, staff feels that the purchase
can fit within the current Mercy Health Arena budget.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $25,000 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $25,000
FUND OR ACCOUNT: Mercy Health Arena
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the purchase of three vending
machines for Mercy Health Arena at a combined cost not to exceed $25,000.

M. CSXT Purchase Agreement City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is seeking authorization to enter into an
agreement with CSXT.
For the past 5+ years, staff has been working to complete the purchase and
removal of the CSXT railroad line that runs from the former YMCA through
Lakeside to the Jaycees Launch Ramp. The attached agreement would allow
for a portion of the line to be converted into a trail via a trail use agreement,
and the remainder of the line to be used for redevelopment.
The purchase price is $1,648,000. We anticipate $40,000 in filing fees as well. As
part of the due diligence period, we will have the entire line surveyed. We do
not have a cost for the survey, and instead will use a billable hourly rate model.
Staff has a tight timeline to complete due diligence and prepare for Federal
Approval. As such, we will be requesting authorization to both sign the
agreement and formally complete the sale at the end of the due diligence
period. We are using a combined not-to-exceed budget number of $2 Million.
We are proposing to utilize ARPA dollars to complete the purchase, but we
foresee opportunities to recoup most/all of this investment via a combination of
Brownfield TIF and allowing the buy-out of the various crossing agreements that
we will inherit.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $2 Million AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
FUND OR ACCOUNT: State/Federal Grants
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To authorize the City Manager to sign the
Agreement and complete the transaction upon successful completion of the
due diligence, and thereafter to return to the City Commission for final approval
of transaction prior to closing.
Motion by Commissioner German, second by Commissioner Rinsema-Sybenga,
to authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement and complete the
transaction upon successful completion of the due diligence, and thereafter to
return to the City Commission for final approval of transaction prior to closing.

2021-110 PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Infill Housing Project Brownfield Plan Public Hearing (3rd Amendment)
Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To hold a public hearing and approve the resolution
which seeks to adopt an amendment to the City’s Brownfield Plan (Infill Housing
Page 9 of 13
Project, 3rd Amendment). On November 30, 2021, the BRA approved the Plan
Amendment and further recommends that the Muskegon City Commission
approve the Plan Amendment.
City staff has prepared a brownfield plan to include an additional 386 parcels
beyond the 119 parcels previously adopted in the 2nd Amendment. This brings
the total to 505 Eligible Properties for this project and the lots are scattered
throughout the city. The City Commission approve the Plan’s 1st Amendment on
7/28/2020 and 2nd Amendment on 12/8/2020. This Amendment seeks to modify
the plan by adding in all of the government-owned, vacant residential
properties in the City.
The 3rd Amendment also includes the following updates:
• Developer’s Reimbursement Costs: Infill Housing - $13,557,000; Mixed-use
projects-$1,000,000; Total reimbursement costs - $14,557,000
• Estimated Total Capital Investment: Infill Housing - $127,000,000; Home
rehab - $500,000; Mixed Use developments: $26,000,000; Total Estimated
Capital Investment - $153,500,000
• The Plan anticipates eligible activities, paid through future capture of tax
increments, to include $11,780,000 for cost of sale/seller concessions;
$2,000,000 for demolition and potential costs of abatement; $777,000 to
construct public infrastructure at the former farmers market; $20,000 for
brownfield plan preparation and development; a 15% plan contingency
fee of $2,603,100; and which reflects total eligible activities to be paid
under this plan at $19,957,100. The eligible activities will also be reimbursed
with interest at 5%.
• The Authority intends to enter into Development & Reimbursement
Agreements with future property owners/developers of properties
included in the Plan to reimburse them for costs of eligible activities.
• The duration of this Plan does not exceed 30 years and complete
recapture of eligible costs through tax increment revenue are expected
to occur within this period. The duration of the tax capture began in 20209
and does not “reset” with the adoption of this 3rd Amendment.
• The plan contemplates continued five-year capture of tax increments for
a local Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund if there is time left in the 30-year
plan after eligible costs are covered.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To close the public hearing and approve the
resolution of the Brownfield Plan Amendment for the City’s Infill Housing Project
