      G. Procurement of Police Patrol Rifles. PUBLIC SAFETY

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Muskegon Police Department currently has in its
possession two (2) Thompson and four (4) Uzi machine guns. The department has
been in possession of these weapons for many yeprs. While these weapons are of
great interest to collectors, they are useless as to our needs. At this same time, we
are in need of replacing our current stock of patrol shotguns and there are a number
of reasons for doing so.

First, the shotguns are aging and require a great deal of care. Secondly, the shotgun
is heavy and can be difficult for many of us to handle. In this regard, I also have
concerns about the control of pellets or a slug when the shotgun is fired. Finally, our
current patrol-level tactical training calls for the use of a rifle. We are currently
training patrol officers in what is known as "Active Shooter" situations. Primarily
designed to prepare officers to respond to shooting incidents in schools or businesses,
it calls for the use of an accurate shoulder-fired weapon. The shotgun does not
meet this need.

Realizing that we do not have the funds to purchase such weapons, our Firearms
Training Team has been talking with collectors and dealers. Some have offered to
purchase the machine guns while others have offered to us a variety of trades.
Recently we were contacted by Cinema Weaponry LLC of Glendale, California. This
company provides weapons for the movie industry. Cinema Weaponry has offered
to trade to us twenty (20) new Colt Law enforcement M4 semi-automatic carbines
with accessories in return for the six machine guns. They would also pay for the
shipping costs. Our firearms team had already settled on the M4 as the rifle of choice
and has recommended to me that this trade would meet our needs. The purchase
price of an M4 is approximately $950. Therefore, this trade would result in a savings to
us of $19,000 if we were to have to purchase these rifles.

We have been in contact with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in
regards to this transaction. They have advised us that this trade is legal and will
provide guidance with the appropriate paperwork. I have also asked our City
Attorney to review this transaction and to assist us with the appropriate legal
agreement.

To us during these tight budget times it makes sense to trade these weapons that we
will never be able to use for weapons that we can use.              We ask for your
consideration in approving this trade.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.

This section of road was identified by staff due to its surface and subsurface conditions. The road surface has a lot of patches due to poor drainage and utility work. As for the subsurface conditions, the existing watermain system has required numerous calls for repairs to the services as well as the main itself. The age and type of sub-surface soils (clay) have played a significant roll in the deterioration of both surface & sub- service conditions. The proposed work consists of removal of the sub-base material (aggregate) and saving the existing curbs, for the most part, unless replacement is necessary to enhance drainage or to facilitate the construction of a sidewalk ramps. The proposed improvements (Major-Rehabilitation) consist of following; 1. Complete removal of existing pavement, without removing curbs & gutters) and replace with a new asphalt street section that would include new sub-base material. 2. replace water main and services 3. minor storm sewer work 4. minor sanitary sewer work Completing this proposed project would address at least the following 2004-2005 goals; 1. Develop & Maintain City's infrastructure and facilities 2. Maintain & enhance the residential neighborhood of the City 3. Blight Fight A memo from the Assessor's ot1ice, which addresses the appraisal and benefit information, is attached. The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is $121,000 with the length of the project being approximately 1100 lineal feet (project length) or 1594.82 of assessable footage. This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $76 per assessable foot. The assessment figure will be at a cost not to exceed $29.00 per assessable foot as established in the 2005 Special Assessment Rates for this type of improvement Similar to Pine Street, It is worth stating that the final assessment at the time of spreading the roll (upon completion of the construction) is expected to be well below the $29 per foot due to the newly enacted policy of not assessing more than 25% of the actual costs associated with the project pavement. As you can see in the resolution, the percentage is well above the 25% limits and therefore, upon completion and when spreading the roll comes up, I fully expect the per foot cost to drop down the mid twenty dollars per assessable foot MUSKEGON COUNTY M c H G A N BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Paul T.

Buzzell District 2 Muskegon, MI 49443 Mr. Al-Shatel: James J. Derezinski District 4 In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment Marvin R. Engle district entailing the major rehabilitation oflreland Avenue between Franklin Street District 5 and Davis Street. The purpose of this analysis is to document the reasonableness of this special assessment district by identifYing and quantifYing any accrued benefits. It Louis A. McMurray District 9 is subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power and eminent domain. The effective date is March 9, 2005. Robert Scolnik District 11 In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this I. John Snider II project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated value enhancement District 3 and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in property values due Nancy A. Waters to an improved quality oflife created by the proposed project. As previously District 6 presented, the proposed special assessment district encompasses primarily residential Stephen R. Wisniewski properties. The front foot rate of $29.00 for the above mentioned project area appears District 1 reasonable in light of an analysis that indicates a possible enhancement of$31.25. The conclusions are based upon the data presented within this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my files.

The People of the State of Michigan enact: Sec. 315. (1) The department, by order, in accordance with section 301, may prescribe active traffic control devices to warn of the approach of trains about to cross a street or highway at public railroad grade crossings consisting of signals with signs, circuitry, or crossing gates and other appurtenances as depicted in the Michigan manual of uniform traffic control devices. A detennination shall detail the number, type, and location of signals with signs, circuitry, or gates and appurtenances, which, however, shall confonn as closely as possible with generally recognized national standards. (2) Except as otherwise provided for in this act, the cost of anY installation, alteration, or modernization of active traffic control devices shall be at equal expense of the railroad and road authority. (3) A.fter initial installation, all active traffic control devices, circuitry, and appurtenances at crossings shall be maintained, enhanced, renewed, and replaced by the railroad at its own expense, except that the road authority shall pay $760.00 for flashing signals on a single track, $830.00 for flashing signals and gates on a single track, $895.00 for flashing signals with cantilever ann on a single track, $1,215.00 for flashing signals with cantilever ann with gates on a single track, $1,230.00 for flashing signals and gates on multiple tracks, $1,630.00 for flashing signals with cantilever anns and gates on a multiple track, $725.00 for flashing signals on a multiple track, and $1,005.00 for flashing signals with cantilever arms on a multiple track annually for maintenance to the railroad for each crossing with active traffic control devices not covered by existing or future railroad-road authority agreements. The railroad shall furnish standard equipment uniform for all railroads at a cost and installation basis consistent for all railroads. By January 1, 2010 and every 10 years after 2010, the department shall complete a study to detennine the cost of maintenance of active trclffic control devices and shall forward a copy of the study to the members of the house and senate committees that consider railroad legislation. (4) Standard active railroad-highway traffic control devices consisting of side of street flashing light signals with or without half-roadway gates and cantilevers shall include the railroad crossing (crossbuck) sign, "stop on red signal'' sign, and number of tracks sign located, designed, and maintained on the signal support as prescribed by the Michigan manual of uniform traffic control devices. The railroad shall perform actual installation and maintenance of these signs. The railroad shall also install, renew, and maintain any signs placed on cantilevered signal supports. Whenever active traffic control devices are installed at any crossing, they shall be so arranged that for every train or switching movement over the grade crossing, the active trJ.ffic control device shall be in operation for a period of not less than (2) '·· 20 seconds or more than 60 seconds in advance of the train movement reaching the nearest established rurb line Qr highway shoulder and the devices shall continue to operate until the train movement has passed the established curb line or shoulder on the far side of the highway. (5) The department may order a railroad, at the railroad's expense, to stop and flag a crossing for normal train service or when active traffic control devices may become inoperable. This act is ordered to take immediate effect. Clerk of the House of Representatives. Secretary of the Senate.

RC Productions is opposed to granting of such permission based upon the following: I. The City of Muskegon has in the past in connection with the business operated by RC Productions and other businesses in the area, been strict in the enforcement of its sign ordinances. RC Productions was required to "jump through several hoops" just to get its sign approved which is on site and well outside of the right- of-way area. The City should not now decide to change its policies with which everybody else has had to comply with. 2. The location of the sign in the public right-of-way creates not only clutter but also with its close proximity with the roadway creates a dangerous situation for traffic. 3. Alternate sites are available to Lake Express for the construction and maintenance of a sign which do not involve encroaching on public right-of-way and therefore no hardship or necessity exists. City of Muskegon March 8, 2005 Page 2 4. The request does not meet the criteria for a permit. We are requesting that you advise us in writing as to time and place of any hearing to be held on the above application. WRS/hb CC: Bryon L.

Memo To: Lee Slaughter, City of Muskegon From: Linda Riepma, Muskegon Public Schools, phone 720-2039, email lriepma@mpsk 12.net Date: March 28, 2005 Thank you for consenting to discuss the City of Muskegon becoming a partner in a new federal competitive GEAR UP 2011 proposal I am writing on behalf of seventh grade cohorts of students at Bunker, Steele, Muskegon Heights, and Holton Middle Schools. As you know, we will propose using the LEAD 2005 model to work with students and their families in this expanded program. I have asked the Muskegon Heights and Holton participants to contact their local governments for partnering as well. As we put this proposal together, we are not so concerned with the amount of in kind match the partners bring to the table as we are having the appropriate partners to show that the success of this project is a community effort; in effect, "it takes a village to raise a child". We would like the City of Muskegon to considering the following services and activities within the partnership over the six years of the project, and to have the City determine the appropriate match dollar values of portions of staff members' time and the costs of particular activities proposed. I offer the suggestions and examples below without actually knowing how particular city responsibilities and activities work, of course. • Dedicating a portion of time of a city staff member as a liaison with the GEAR UP 2011 program to coordinate individual student job shadowing and career mentoring requests in years 3 through 6 of the project, as many of our students are interested in an array of public service careers. We would coordinate with that person so that students' needs would be met without over-taxing city staff members. • Providing a venue and collaborative coordination for an event in years 1 and 2 for students and parents that would tie in with a City sponsored event: Summer Celebration, hockey game, special meeting, ribbon-cutting, etc. Cost would be for the time of a City staff person as collaborator, any costs for "rent" of a venue that would be waived, or other small contributed items( for example, if we had a family picnic at Heritage Landing in June and gave away a couple of donated Summer Celebration concert tickets in a drawing). • Providing two mini-leadership skills seminars for students during two summers, likely in year two and four, including presentations and knowledge about city government, citizen voice, and operations of various Boards and departments. Seminar to include student presence at appropriate city meetings. Costs would be for the time of a city staff member to coordinate and various other city staffers to make mini-presentations. Being in a seminar like this would be a great line on a student's college entrance application. • In return for city services above, GEAR UP 2011 students would provide volunteer services at City activities, as they need good experiences in volunteering to build community and contribute to their accomplishments.
