Memorandum
To: Mayor and Commissioners
From: Frank Peterson
Re: City Commission Meeting
Date: April 9, 2015
We have a number of items on the agenda, and I thought you could use a little background on some of
them as you prepare for our meeting next week.
1. Under Honors and Awards, we will present the 2014 Outstanding Citizenship Awards. We’re
lucky to have many people working to make our community a great place to live, work, and visit.
This is a great way to acknowledge and honor some of the efforts by our community members.
2. Representatives from the West Michigan Lake Hawks will be in attendance to present the
Commission with a token of appreciation for their support of the Lake Hawks’ 2014-15 season.
3. Under the consent agenda, we are asking the Commission to approve:
a. Last meeting’s minutes.
b. A Resolution acknowledging National Bike to Work Week – this is approved annually by the
Muskegon City Commission.
c. A request by The Sons of Norway to fly the Norwegian Flag. This request is considered
annually by the Muskegon City Commission.
d. Approval of a concession contract for Rix Stix Pronto Pups and Rix Stix Eats.
e. Approval of 2015-16 water treatment sodium hypochlorite bids.
f. A traffic control order adding a stop sign to the corner of Indiana Ave and Harbor Towne
Circle.
g. Approval of construction agreement with MDOT for Henry Street (Sherman to Hackley).
While the engineer’s estimate was slightly over $800,000, the actual bids came in slightly
over $900,000. We are proposing to proceed with the project as bid rather than rebidding
the project, as our staff feels that the bids are unlikely to return more favorably.
Additionally, we feel that construction for this project needs to begin soon, and not be
postponed to late summer or fall.
h. Approve the bids for the 2015 pavement marking program - this is approved annually by
the Muskegon City Commission.
i. Approval of the 2015 bids for miscellaneous highway maintenance materials concrete - this
is approved annually by the Muskegon City Commission.
j. Approval of the purchase of two Ford Interceptor Sport Utility Vehicles for the police
department. The vehicles were budgeted and planned for in 2015.
k. Approval of the purchase of DPW Fleet Vehicles. These vehicles will be used as
replacements to vehicles that are retired or soon-to-be retired. One vehicle will be used in
the Parks Department and another will be used in the Highway Department.
4. Under Hearings/Other/New Business we have four topics for discussion:
a. Approval of the sale of 1581 Division. This CNS project was originally approved for sale to
another buyer earlier in 2015. That sale fell through, and we now have a new buyer under
contract. We are recommending approval.
b. We are asking for an increase in the public relations budget. The increase requested is
$40,000. We would like to use most of the new funds to purchase/install banners on light
poles in the downtown area. We have a number of poles with brackets that haven’t had
banners installed on them in a number of years. Additionally, we have a number of
brackets missing and/or broken. These funds will cover the costs to purchase/install
banners and brackets (as needed). The remaining funds will be used to design a new logo
for the city (as that was identified by our image committee as a high priority), and design
some items to be sold and/or handed out at special events. This is more of a long-term
investment, as many of the expenses will last over multiple fiscal years. I recommend
approval. It’s important to note that this is only one aspect of our plan to improve our
image. We continue to focus resources on crime reduction, blight abatement, and overall
quality of life – we also plan to present a proposal to begin updating our aging housing
stock in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we need to adequately market our
community as great place to live/work/visit.
If there are questions on any agenda items, please try to let staff know in advance, and we will be sure
to have the appropriate data/research available at the meeting.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the minutes.
B. SECOND READING: Amendment to the Mobile Food Vending
Ordinance. CITY CLERK
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: In 2014 the City adopted a Mobile Food Vending
Ordinance. Staff encountered no issues and received no complaints. Staff
believes mobile food vending units are a benefit to our City and downtown and
would like to encourage more participation.
We are requesting to amend the ordinance to (1) change the amount of time a
mobile food vending truck may stay in one place from 15 minutes to 30 minutes
without a permit; and (2) change the distance a mobile food vending service
may be parked within an existing brick and mortar restaurant from 150 feet to 50
feet.
Further, to encourage more participation, we are asking to lower the permit fees
from $300 a unit, $150 for existing restaurants in the City of Muskegon, and $50
for restaurants in the Downtown Development area to be changed from a
monthly fee to an annual fee.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To adopt the ordinance amendment and update
the fee schedule as indicated.
C. SECOND READING: Amendment to the Special Event Parking
Downtown Ordinance. CITY CLERK
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: In 2014 the City adopted a Special Event Parking
Downtown Ordinance to require businesses to offer public restrooms during
special events. Once it was implemented for a season, we were able to ask for
input from those businesses it impacted.
Based on the feedback, staff is requesting to modify the ordinance to remove
the requirement the first port-a-jon be an ADA accessible facility and include a
hand washing unit. Staff is also requesting to change the language to indicate
public restrooms be available within 100 feet of the parcel.
Staff is also requesting the fee schedule be changed to indicate no permit is
needed for those parking under 50 vehicles and offering an annual permit of
$125. A $50 per event fee will still be offered to those businesses who wish to pay
a per event fee.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To adopt the ordinance amendment and update
the fee schedule as indicated.

owners are also subject to a municipal civil infraction if any of the provisions of
the ordinance are violated.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To adopt the ordinance amendment.
E. SECOND READING: Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. PLANNING

FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the zoning ordinance amendment.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission unanimously
recommended approval of the request at their special meeting in February.
F. SECOND READING: Lakeshore Smartzone LDFA – Plan Amendment.
PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City of Muskegon Local Development Finance
Authority (LDFA) and City Commission approved The Lakeshore Smartzone Local
Development Finance Authority and Tax Increment Financing Plan (“Plan”) in
2002. The State of Michigan recently provided the opportunity to extend the Tax
Increment Finance (TIF) capture for an additional five years, if the Smartzone
LDFA Plans are amended to include additional projects, job creation,
cooperation with other regional entities, and/or additional reporting. As this
additional five years of TIF capture will assist the City in paying back the bonds
that were issued for development of the MAREC facility, an amendment to the
Plan was prepared. The amendment was approved by the LDFA and the Plan
has been forwarded to the City Commission.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The additional five years of tax capture will allow for the
generation of approximately $175,330 in revenues from school taxes (in addition
to the $331,035 generated from local taxes).
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission approve the resolution
amending the Plan.
G. New Special Event Request – “Standup for the Cure” Stand-up
Paddleboard Event & Expo – July 11, 2015. PLANNING & ECONOMIC

Komen foundation. They would like to add Muskegon’s Harbour Towne beach
as their third event site this year, in addition to Newport Beach, CA and Miami
FL. In addition to stand-up paddle boarding, they would like to have an expo-

a craft beer brewing company, and they are requesting to serve beer and

Memorandum
To: Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Finance Director
Date: April 8, 2015
Re: Public Act 422 of 2014
With the signing of Public Act 422 of 2014 by Governor Snyder, it is now possible for the City
to consider creating a fund at the Community Foundation for Muskegon County to house its
cemetery perpetual care funds. Public Act 422 of 2014 is the culmination of years of effort
that began with an idea of the City’s former Finance Director and the work of the City
Attorney, Community Foundation, and others to make it possible. Senator Goeff Hansen
sponsored Senate Bill 1125 which was enacted as Public Act 422 of 2014.
The bill amended Public Act 215 of 1937, which authorizes municipalities to own or control
cemetery or burial grounds, to do the following:
- Allow a municipality to establish an endowment and perpetual care fund for a
municipally owned cemetery as part of an agreement with a community foundation.
- Require the community foundation annually to authorize two distributions of earnings
from the fund to the municipality for care and maintenance of the cemetery.
- Require the cemetery to maintain records regarding the use of earnings from the
fund.
- Allow the community foundation’s fees and costs associated with the agreement to
be paid from the principal of the fund.
- Specify information that the community foundation must submit to the municipality in
an annual fund statement.
It is anticipated that an agreement between the community foundation and city will be
included on the agenda for a future City Commission meeting.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

initial property of the Fund.
2. Property of the Fund. The Fund shall include the property received to establish the
Fund, such property as may later be transferred to the Foundation by the CITY or from
any other source for inclusion in the Fund and accepted by the Foundation, and all
undistributed income from the Fund. The Fund shall be the Foundation’s property held
by it in its corporate capacity and shall not be deemed a trust Fund held by it in a trustee
capacity. The Foundation shall have the ultimate authority and control over all property in

Incorporation and Bylaws of the Foundation (as they may be amended from time to time),
and the terms of this Agreement applied in a manner not inconsistent with said Articles
and Bylaws.
3. Designation of Purposes. The Fund shall be used for the care and maintenance of the

contributions made by the CITY plus allocated investment realized/unrealized gains
and/or losses to such portion. Recommendations of the CITY’s Commission shall be
solely advisory and not binding on the Foundation.
6. Successors to the Donor.
a. The Fund will continue for the exclusive use and benefit of the successor or surviving
organization if the CITY merges or consolidates with another entity which is also a
tax-exempt organization.
b. Upon dissolution of the CITY, the Fund shall continue for the benefit of such other tax
exempt organization as identified by the CITY Commission, providing such
identification is consistent with the charitable purposes of the Foundation. Any
designation made under this section shall be in writing and shall be delivered by the
CITY to the Foundation prior to the filing of legal dissolution of the CITY.
c. If the CITY fails to identify such other tax-exempt organization or such identification is
not consistent with the tax-exempt status of the Foundation, the Fund shall become a
part of the Unrestricted Endowment of the Foundation.
7. Variance.
a. The Foundation agrees that if its Board of Trustees proposes to exercise the variance
power under Article VIII, Section (8) of the Foundation’s Bylaws, the exercise of such
power shall not be effective earlier than at least 30 days after the Foundation notifies
CITY in writing of (i) its intent to exercise such power and (ii) the manner in which the
Foundation proposes to vary the purposes, uses, or methods of administration of the
Fund. During the notice period, CITY may advise the Foundation of its views
regarding the proposed exercise of the power and take such other action as it deems
appropriate. If the Foundation becomes aware of any other action instituted or
proposed by any person to vary the purposes, uses, or methods of administration of
the Fund, it will promptly notify the CITY Commission.
b. If the Foundation ceases to be a qualified charitable organization or if the Foundation
proposes to dissolve, the assets of the Fund shall, after payment or making provision
for payment of any liabilities, properly chargeable to the Fund, be distributed to CITY.
If the CITY is not then a qualified tax-exempt organization, said assets shall be
distributed in such manner and to such organization or organizations in Muskegon
County as satisfies the requirements of a qualified tax-exempt organization and
serves purposes similar to those of the CITY.
c. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement or in the Foundation’s Articles or Bylaws
to the contrary, the Foundation agrees not to exercise the modification provisions
contained in Article VIII of its Bylaws except to the extent and as may be required
from time to time by the laws of the State of Michigan or by the Internal Revenue
Code, including the rules and regulations with respect thereto, in order to qualify the
Organization Endowment Fund as a component part of the Foundation. Internal
Revenue Service regulations presently require that any restriction or condition may
be modified if it becomes unnecessary, incapable of fulfillment, or inconsistent with
the charitable needs of the Muskegon County area.
8. Definitions and Construction.
a. As used in this agreement:
i. “Qualified charitable organization” means an organization described in
§501(c)(3) and which is other than a private foundation under §509(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code.
ii. References to any provision of the Internal Revenue Code shall be deemed
