Here is a quick outline of the items on our agenda(s):
REGULAR MEETING
1. Under the consent agenda, we are asking the Commission for approval of the following:
a. Last meeting’s minutes.
b. As we work toward the official issuance of the liquor license for the Farmers Market, we
have a number of approvals that the LCC is requesting. The approvals are related to
outdoor seating and Sunday sales.
c. After an exhaustive search that yielded many great candidates, we have offered the
position of Treasurer to Sarah Petersen. Sarah current serves as the Treasurer of
Roosevelt Park. She will be a great addition to our team, and we are looking forward to
her joining us at city hall. The City Commission appoints this position.
d. We are replacing the current beach tractor with a new unit from J&J Farm Sales.

the Mi Deal State Contract. The total cost for the three units is $105,738.
f. As we continue to work through our list of deferred maintenance at the LC Walker
Arena, we uncovered a need to replace the plumbing in the shower units in in locker
rooms A-F. These locker room service all transient users – Junior Jacks, many visiting
teams, the Risers, the Ironmen, etc. These locker rooms do not service the Reese
Puffer of Lumberjack teams. In addition to these repairs, our facilities crew will be
replacing tile in most of the shower areas over the summer.
g. We are rebidding the demolition at 1290 Wood Street. The Commission previously
voted to remove all structures from the site. Upon further review, we are asking to
save one of the garages, which we expect to use for city purposes.
h. We will be accepting and signing the MDNR Grant agreement for Pere Marquette
Park. These funds are to be utilized for upgrades to the existing bathhouse and play
structure. The City’s match for the project is $147,100.

specifications. These were last updated in 2010. The changes will allow us to
incorporate new materials and construction methods that have changed since 2010.
j. Rezoning 1361 S Getty from B-1 to B-4. The owner has requested a special use
permit to operate a car sales lot at this site.

2017-59 NEW BUSINESS:
A. Arena Lease – Rad Dad’s City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: City Staff has been working with a group of local
business owners interested in creating a restaurant and bar to service the LC
Walker Arena and also provide more daily food/beverage options to the
downtown community. Rad Dad’s Taco and Tequila Bar is originally proposed to
lease approximately 3,500 square feet of concourse space in the arena and 500
square feet of outdoor space to provide outdoor dining space at the corner of
Western Avenue and 4th Street. The group is now proposing to lease
approximately 5,300 square feet. The owners would like to open by September
1, 2017.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Build-out costs are expected to be less than $350,000. If
build out costs are at $350,000, the tenant’s initial lease rate will be $12.50/sf
($66,250 annually for both interior and outdoor space. In the event that costs fall
below or exceed $350,000, any amount over or under $350,000, will be added to
or subtracted from the tenant’s lease rate as follows: for every dollar of
variance, the tenant’s annual rent will increase/decrease by 12.5 cents per
year. Regardless of savings, rent will be no less than $53,000 annually.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: $350,000 Capital Improvement is expected; a
budget adjustment will be included as part of the 1st quarter budget reforecast,

B. Arena Rink Alterations City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: There are a number of repairs needed to the dasher
boards at the LC Walker Arena. Rather than simply repairing and replacing the
boards, arena management is proposing to upgrade the dasher boards behind
both goalie areas to accommodate indoor soccer goals. The new boards will
allow for an imbedded 14x18 soccer goal. These goals will accommodate the
Muskegon Risers indoor soccer club, as well as a number of exhibition games
planned in 2017 – 18. The goals will also make it possible to add indoor soccer
tournaments and leagues during the hockey offseason.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The new dasherboards are provided and installed by
Rink Systems at a cost of $24,250. The concrete work will be provided by RW
Concrete Sawing, Inc. at a cost of $4,155. Additional costs may arise as arena
staff explores seating options for the area directly adjacent to the soccer goals.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: A budget adjustment will be included as part of
the 1st quarter budget reforecast, with the proceeds coming from the Public
Improvement Fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request and authorize the
installation of the new dasher board system at a cost not to exceed $30,000.
Motion by Commissioner German, second by Commissioner Warren, to approve
the request and authorize the installation of the new dasher board system at a
cost not to exceed $30,000.

C. Authorization to Repair/Refurbish 1999 Olympia City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City owns and operates a 1999 Olympia Ice
Resurfacing machine (often referred to as a Zamboni). The Olympia has
required significant repairs over the past three hockey seasons, and almost in
the inability to finish a Lumberjack’s playoff game earlier this year. A
replacement Olympia would likely cost between $75,000 and $125,000,
depending on the age of the unit. Staff is seeking permission to send the current
Page 6 of 7
Olympia to be refurbished. The cost of the project is dependent upon the
components that are ultimately replaced. Arena management expect this cost
to be between $30,000 and $35,000, as a number of major components have
already been replaced in the past year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Not to exceed $35,000
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: A budget adjustment will be included as part of
the 1st quarter budget reforecast, with the proceeds coming from the Arena
Fund.

gasket must be correctly positioned within the groove. Check with fingers to
be sure of correct placement. Lubricate the gasket over its entire inner surface;
as well as to the bevel of the plain end. The joint should be assembled with
both pipes reasonably straight alignment. Any deflection should be made after
the joint is assembled. On any field cut pipe, the outside edge must be beveled
and smoothed as any sharp corner may cause gasket damage. Straight
alignment is especially important when assembling field cut pipe. Field
inspection by the Engineer must be accomplished before a field cut pipe may
be joined. During cold weather installations, keep gaskets warm prior to
placement within the bell, to reduce their stiffness.
13.03.10 Mechanical Joint Assembly
The inside of the bell and the plain end of the pipe must be thoroughly
cleaned of foreign matter and wire brushed if necessary. All surfaces and
gaskets should be brushed over with soapy water. A rubbed gasket and
follower gland should be placed on the plain end “seated” in the mechanical
flanged bell; and then the gasket firmly and evenly pressed into the bell. After
the gland is in position for bolting, insert all bolts and make all nuts finger-
tight. Keeping the plain end centrally located within the bell, begin tightening
bolts, bringing all bolts up evenly at all points around the bell flange.
Alternate bolts from side to side until all bolts are uniformly tight within the
correct range of torque of 75 to 90 foot pounds (4” thru 24” sizes). If effective
sealing is not attained at the maximum torque level, the joint should be
disassembled and reassembled after thorough cleaning. Megalug style retainer
glands shall be used on all mechanical joints, after all gland bolts are tight,
bring all retainer bolts hp evenly around the pipe, tighten all retainer bolts by

Department will make the tap using City equipment. The Contractor will
assist as necessary. No charges shall be made to the Contractor by the City for
such described work.
13.08 Permeation
Every effort will be made to identify any contaminated areas before
any work proceeds, but should the contractor encounter any contaminated
area, work shall cease and the specialized gaskets for use in contaminated
areas will be used. Refer to AWWA C600 section 4.1 (Permeation), for
instructions about how to proceed in contaminated work areas.
.
13.09 CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
13.09.01 Flushing
After the hydrostatic tests have been satisfactorily completed, the pipe
lines shall be cleaned and flushed by introducing water from the city water-
W-15
DIVISION 13
WATERMAIN
mains into the completed line and the water allowed to flow from the far end
of the section and flushed until it runs clear. Before the main is chlorinated, it
shall be flushed with potable water to remove air pockets and particulates.
The flushing velocity in the main shall not be less than 3.0 ft/sec in
accordance with AWWA C651-14, Section 4.4.2. Each section tested shall be
flushed separately. All disinfecting shall be done in accordance with AWWA
Standard C651-14.
13.09.02 Disinfecting
Disinfect the pipe lines with chlorine. The preferable point of
application of the chlorinating agent is at the beginning of the new pipe line,
or any valve section of it, and through the stand pipe or a corporation cock
inserted in the horizontal axis of the newly laid pipe. Water from existing
watermains should be controlled to flow very slowly into the newly laid pipe
during application of chlorine. Partially open the end-most hydrant or valve on
the section of pipe line under treatment to permit the flow of water through the
pipe line. Continue treatment until the water flowing from the far end of the
main contains a chlorine residual of at least 25 parts per million. Stop the flow
of water and chlorine by closing appropriate openings. (See Sections 13.09.05
and 13.09.06 for information on chlorine products and methods of application)
A field test shall be done for determining that the proper amount of chlorine
residual is in the new pipe line, the test shall be done by the Contractor with
testing equipment approved by the Engineer.
13.09.03 Disinfecting Duration
Permit the treated water to remain in the pipe line for at least 24
hours, after which, there should be a free chlorine residual of not less than 10
ppm. A field test shall be done for determining that the proper amount of
chlorine residual is in the new pipe line, the test shall be done by the
contractor with testing equipment approved by the Engineer. The main shall
then be thoroughly flushed until all of the heavily chlorinated water is
removed to the point of a residual chlorine content not to exceed 2 ppm, or a
residual acceptable to the City of Muskegon Department of Public Works. The
Contractor will test the water to see that this has been accomplished. (See
AWWA C651-14, Section 4.9)
13.09.04 Sampling
The Engineer will schedule with the water filtration plant for sample
pick-ups. (First sample pick-ups shall be done Monday through Thursday, no
first sampling will be done Friday through Sunday) An initial set of samples
will be taken after 16 hours without any water use. Then collect, using the
sampling site procedures outlined and without flushing the main, two sets of
samples a minimum of 15 min apart while the sampling taps are left running.
Both sets of samples must pass for the main to be approved for release. A 48
hour test is required for each sample. If the results of the samples are unsafe, a
W-16
DIVISION 13
WATERMAIN
repeat of the chlorine treatment and sampling is necessary. A set of samples
includes all samples collected along the length of the pipeline. For new
mains, sets of samples shall be collected every 1200 feet of the new
watermain, plus one set from the end of the line, and at least one from each
branch greater than one pipe length. Sampling should never be collected from
hoses or fire hydrants, Sampling shall be from stand pipes or a corporation tap
with a copper pipe extension. Sampling points shall have a valve and a copper
gooseneck assembly. Cost of collecting samples and laboratory analysis shall
be paid for by the City of Muskegon, up to a maximum of two tests per
section. Any additional testing will be at the Contractors expense. All
materials, labor, equipment and tools for conducting the cleaning and
disinfecting treatment shall be furnished by
the Contractor without cost to the City. All sampling shall be done in
accordance with AWWA C651-14, section 5.1, Bacteriological Tests.
13.09.05 Chlorine Products
Chlorine products for disinfecting watermains are available in several
forms. Refer to AWWA C651-14, Sec. 4.1 for the forms of chlorine which
may be used in the watermain disinfection operation, and the proper methods
of handling and feeding different types of chlorine into the watermain. The
most convenient forms are as follows:
A. Liquid Chlorine (gas) conforming to ANSI/AWWA B301
contains 100 percent available chlorine and is packaged in steel containers
usually of 100-lb, 150-lb, or 1-ton net chlorine weight. The pressure of the
chlorine in the cylinder varies with the outside temperature and will usually be
found to vary between 40 and 140 lbs. per square inch.
B. Calcium hypochlorite conforming to ANSI/AWWA B300 is
available in granular form or in 5-g tablets and must contain approximately 65
percent chlorine by weight. The material should be stored in a cool, dry, and
dark place to minimize its deterioration.
CAUTION: Tablets dissolve in approximately 7 hr and must be given
adequate contact time. Do not use calcium hypochlorite intended for
swimming pool disinfection, as this material has been sequestered and is
extremely difficult to eliminate from the pipe after the desired contact time
has been achieved.
C.
13.09.06 Calcium hypochlorite Application
A solution of water and approved chlorine should be applied to
watermains by means of solution feed chlorinating device with a power
operated booster pump. High test calcium hypochlorite must be prepared as a
water mixture for introduction into the watermains. The powder should be
W-17
DIVISION 13
WATERMAIN
made into a paste and then thinned to about a 1% chlorine solution (10,000
parts per million). The preparation of a 1% chlorine solution requires the
following proportions of powder to water.

Planning Commission packet excerpt:
SUMMARY
1. The property is located on the corner of Getty St and Catawba St and is roughly a
quarter acre in size. A 1,250 sf office building is located on site. The building has
been vacant since 2010.
2. The property is zoned B-1, Limited Business District. The properties to the north are
zoned B-4. General Business District. The properties to the south are zoned R-2,
Single Family Medium Density Residential. The B-1 District in this area serve as a
buffer between the residential neighborhoods and the more intense businesses in the
B-4, General Business District. However, many of the properties in these B-1
Districts are actually homes with the ability to operate limited businesses. The
property at 1361 S Getty fits the characteristics of B-4 zoning because of the
commercial building on site. The B-1 zoning designation limits the usage of the
property, which is evident from its long vacancy.
3. The applicant would like to operate a car sales lot at this location, which requires a
B-4, General Business District designation and a Special Use Permit.
4. Written notice was mailed to all property owners and tenants within 300 feet. At the
time of this writing, staff had not received any input on the request.
5. Please see the zoning ordinance excerpts for B-1 and B-4 Districts.
