RE: Ordinance Setting Fiscal Year and Budget Calendar


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:                 Last November, voters approved charter amendments that gave the
City Commission authority to set the City’s fiscal year and change the budget adoption process. The
attached ordinance is intended to implement these changes. The proposed ordinance sets the City’s fiscal
year as of July 1 (starting in 2010) and also lays out a budget adoption process that eliminates the
requirement we have had in the past of adopting a budget months in advance of the start of the fiscal year.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The change in fiscal years will help stabilize city finances and make the City’s
fiscal period consistent with the majority of Michigan’s city governments. The change in budget process will
help ensure the City’s budget is prepared with the most current information available and does not become
outdated before the fiscal year begins.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of the attached ordinance.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None.

RE:        Resolution of Support for the Michigan Port
           Collaborative


SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Michigan Port Collaborative is a
coalition of Michigan waterfront communities. They are holding a
Summit in Muskegon May 20-21, 2010.             The intention of the

as “the membership application for the City of Muskegon”. At this time,
the only direct requirements of the Community are to provide an
inventory of local resources and assets (which the Port of Muskegon
volunteer committee is currently completing) and name a community
individual as its liaison to the Collaborative.


FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.


BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.


STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the attached resolution and
authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign.

                                 Muskegon City Commission

                           RESOLUTION OF
       COMMUNITY COMMITMENT FOR THE MICHIGAN PORT COLLABORATIVE

   WHEREAS, the mission of the Michigan Port Collaborative is to elevate the recognition
and economic vitality of our State’s Great Lakes port communities by protecting and
promoting our Great Lakes and developing our coastal communities as the “Michigan’s Front
Door”; and

   WHEREAS, the Michigan Port Collaborative defines a Michigan Port Community as
a Great Lakes coastal community that hosts a marine cargo shipping port, a marine
commercial port (non-cargo), and / or a recreational harbor; and

  WHEREAS the City of Muskegon is home to a marine cargo shipping port, a
marine commercial port (non-cargo), and a recreational harbor and therefore clearly
meets the Michigan Port Collaborative definition of a Port Community; and

   WHEREAS the City of Muskegon recognizes that membership in the Michigan Port
Collaborative will benefit and enable this and other Michigan port communities, our private
and non-profit partners, as well as State and federal leaders to:

 •   Speak with a clear voice in Lansing and Washington, D.C. on Michigan port funding and
     policy priorities;
 •   Effectively market and promote each Great Lakes community and its region;
 •   Leverage and enhance port and regional assets and funding to maximum advantage;
 •   Access the growing information, experience, creativity, talent and knowledge of the
     Collaborative and its individual public, private and non-profit sector members; AND

   WHEREAS, the City of Muskegon is committed to the long term goals of the Michigan
Port Collaborative, which require that Collaborative Member Communities demonstrate that
they are working to develop their Port and region in ways that protect and promote:

 •   Our Great Lakes, their unique coastal habitats, and citizen stewardship of them;
 •   Exceptional and diverse recreational and educational opportunities;
 •   Attractive, user-friendly public access to port activities, which must be effectively linked
     to local assets and the community business districts, with emphasis on walk-ability,
     integrated and effective transportation service, and signage;
 •   Universal, barrier free and remote access to Michigan Ports, their services and
     activities;
 •   Public awareness and respect for Michigan’s rich maritime culture and history, from the
     pre-historic days of indigenous people, through Michigan’s settlement era and through
     modern time;
 •   Environmentally sustainable practices, including reducing waste and pollution in the port
     community, including marinas, tourism businesses, commercial, cargo shipping and
     other operations in the port Community;
 •   Wise land use planning and redevelopment of contaminated properties along our Great
     Lakes waterfront and in our Port Communities; and
 •   Effective strategic and marketing planning; AND

   WHEREAS, the Michigan Port Collaborative requires Michigan port communities seeking
membership in the Collaborative to apply to the Collaborative and submit within six months of
application both of the following:

 1) An inventory of local and regional assets, resources and needs that will enable the port
    community to provide a maritime tourism and working water front experience for their
    port businesses, residents and
 2) A resolution adopted by the community’s governing body that demonstrates the port
    community’s commitment to:
       Build effective public / private / non-profit partnerships at the local and regional level;
       Achieve the long term goals and meet the membership criteria of the Collaborative;
       Actively participate in the Michigan Port Collaborative and its mission; and
       Name a community individual as its liaison to the Collaborative.

    WHEREAS the Michigan Port Collaborative is working to create a governing structure to
further refine and develop member proposals and support for both short- and long-term
membership criteria and the concept of a Michigan Port Collaborative designation process
which may include incentives and rewards for Collaborative members, as well as ways to
help the public readily identify Collaborative members and positively “brand” the
Collaborative and its partners.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT this resolution serves as the
membership application for the City of Muskegon to the Michigan Port Collaborative
and conveys to the Collaborative this Port Community’s commitment to prepare a
community and regional asset inventory, in conjunction with Muskegon Area First and
the Muskegon Chamber of Commerce, as well as meet the Collaborative’s
membership requirements within six months of the effective date of this resolution;
and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT the City of Muskegon
will make certain that this resolution shall be entered in the public record and a copy of
this resolution shall be promptly conveyed to the Michigan Port Collaborative and the
county, regional, state and federal officials who will benefit from this Port Community’s
membership in the Collaborative.

SUMMARY FOR: 439 HOUSTON AVE

This is a two story wood framed, single family dwelling. This structure is currently
vacant and partially exposed to the weather. Permits were issued in 2006 to renovate
this building, but were allowed to expire in 2007. Since that time it appears that the
project has been abandoned. This building if allowed to remain in this condition will
continue to deteriorate.

income fund.
