      Staff recommends increasing tier 1 – corner from $678 to $700, tier 1

7.h   Amend Ordinance Chapter 6, Animals - City Manager's Office
      The City Commission at their December 2022 LPC meeting directed staff
      to update the Animal Ordinance to remove all specific references to any
      one type of dog breed.
      There were several references to “pit bull dog” in the ordinance. Those
      were all removed. The language that remains references “dangerous
      dogs” or “dangerous animals.”
      Staff also updated the definitions of Dangerous Animal and Vicious
      Animal.
      Staff believes this update achieves the directive of the Commission.
      It should be noted, legal counsel reviewed the update. It was point out that
      by having “pit bull” in the ordinance it does make it more straight forward
      to enforce on that breed if there’s an issue (the burden of proof on the City
      is less because a specific breed is called out). This update could create
      another step in the process for that breed. However, it now becomes
      uniform for all breed types. This is simply bring provided for context and
      transparency.
      STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the amendment to the City
      Code of Ordinances for Chapter 6, Animals, as presented.
7.i   Ordinance to Establish Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee -
      Department of Public Works - REMOVED PER STAFF REQUEST
7.j   1095 Third Street Termination of Purchase Agreement - Economic
      Development
      The due-diligence and closing deadline for the purchase agreement
      between the City and Suburban Properties for the redevelopment of the
      former Catholic Charities site has expired, and staff recommends formally
      terminating the approved purchase agreement.



                                    4
      We have been in regular contact with Mr. Shaun Burket of Suburban
      Properties since the August 2022 approval of the purchase agreement by
      the City Commission. Unfortunately, the lending environment along with
      construction costs and delays with other active projects by Suburban
      Properties has caused us to reach a point of mutual separation. We are
      still working collaboratively with Suburban on a potential infill housing
      project, so we anticipate future partnerships are likely. We will consider
      proposals from other developers who have been waiting for a turn at this
      property most of the time it has been under option by Mr. Burket in
      another agenda item.
      STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Termination of Purchase
      Agreement as presented and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign.

      The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has requested the City
      authorize their work on our property to repair a storm sewer serving the
      U.S. Army Reserve base in the City. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
      (USACE), on behalf of the U.S. Army Reserve base located at 1430
      Parslow Drive, plans to repair a storm sewer outlet that has severely
      eroded the bank of Ruddiman Creek. The storm sewer passes through
      the City’s property on it’s way to the creek. The storm sewer sits in an
      easement; however, the scope of the repair is larger than the easement.
      The USACE has requested the City sign a Right of Entry (ROE) document
      authorizing them to work on the City’s property to make the repair.
      STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Grant Right of Entry to the U.S. Army

      to leaks.
      The current roof is beyond life expectancy and some minor leaking is

      compromised if corrective action is not taken. Three bids have been
      obtained. Two were in excess of $60,000 but the third from Schmidt
      Roofing for $29,284.00 is recommended for acceptance.
      Funding will be provided through the McGraft Endowment fund, which
      performed very well in the market last year and contributed approximately
      $120,000 to fund improvements to the park this year and next.
      AMOUNT REQUESTED: $29,284
      AMOUNT BUDGETED: $100,000 (All Building Repair)
      FUND OR ACCOUNT: McGraft Endowment - 101-757-986

      To modify the Rules of the City Commission under E. Citizen Participation
      (2) and remove the option for groups to be allowed to speak ten minutes.

      communicate at meetings including the ability to call in on meetings that
      are televised live, the ability to watch a meeting by zoom for those not
      televised, and the addition of community engagement forums.
      Because of the increase in public participation, many residents wait
      beyond what can be considered a reasonable timeframe to address the
      Commission.
      The Legislative Committee advises the option for groups to speak ten
      minutes be eliminated and allow all groups and citizens to speak up to
      three minutes so all those wishing to address the Commission can do so
      in a timely manner.

      Commission to eliminate the option for groups to speak ten minutes.

           that Muskegon staff will be operating the Muskegon Heights plant for 10 to

           not negatively impact staffing at the Muskegon water filtration plant.
           Muskegon Heights will be charged $100 per hour per operator. Muskegon
           will pay the operators out of the funds received from the City of Muskegon

      resolution.
      Adelaide Pointe QOZB, LLC has submitted a Brownfield Plan Amendment
      (2nd Amendment) for the Adelaide Pointe Project – a 35-acre mixed use
      waterfront development project including winter boat storage, marina
      space, In/Out forklift boat storage, commercial/retail, and up to 400
      housing units.


      This 2nd Amendment BPA has been prepared due to the developer no
      longer seeking the City of Muskegon’s bonds to pay for eligible costs
      related to public infrastructure. The developer will pay for the following
      public infrastructure costs: public roadways, a reconfiguration of West
      Western Ave, as well as water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer
      utilities. This will cause a shift in the Brownfield Tax Increment Funds to
      allow for the developer to receive 100% reimbursement for eligible
      activities. The BRA will be meeting on the morning of March 14. The
      public hearing has been scheduled and is under the assumption that the
      BRA will approve this 2nd amendment.


      The BPA for APQ was approved by the BRA on Oct. 12, 2021 and by City
      Commission on Oct. 26, 2021. The 1st Amendment to the BPA for APQ

10.d 1095 Third Street Proposal Reviews - Economic Development
     Two Low Income Housing Tax Credit firms and one market rate developer
     have all approached us on the Catholic Charities parcel, and we have
     solicited proposals on their concepts for staff and commission review.
     We have received consistent interest in this site over the past 8-10
     months, but it has been under contract with another developer. Now that
     firm has bowed out due to market conditions, and we have proposals from
     other entities that wish to complete infill housing and/or mixed-use projects
     at the site. The building currently sits empty, and we have our facilities
     team routinely checking it for utility issues and any potential
     dumping/blight/vandalism problems. Thus far we have been quite lucky
     and there are minimal issues. We did just have a boiler component fail, so


                                   13
             we cut off the gas and turned off the water to the building to avoid any
             damage.
             The building should not sit vacant under our ownership for another year as
             it will continue to deteriorate, and it presents a powerful opportunity to
             address the housing shortage we are experiencing in the community. To
             that end, staff has requested the various firms that have inquired about the
             building to show us what they are proposing, and would like commission
             feedback in selecting a preferred firm. As this was not a formal RFP,
             rather than make a specific recommendation staff will review each
             proposal and highlight pros and cons from each. We hope to move
             forward with direction on a preferred private sector partner from the
             commission’s perspective as they all offer different scopes, and will return
             to you with a proposed development agreement in an upcoming meeting.
             STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To accept the proposal from
             (_______________) as presented and direct the Development Services
             Director to negotiate a purchase and development agreement for 1095
             Third Street for commission consideration.
