NEW BUSINESS
I. BRA: Brownfield Plan Amendment, 1937 Lakeshore Dr. — Randers
Engineers and Constructors, INC Economic Development
The Brownfield Plan Amendment will help facilitate the redevelopment of the
former Harbor Theatre site located at 1937 Lakeshore Dr. This amendment will
enable the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to reimburse Randers Engineers
and Constructors, INC for eligible environmental and site redevelopment
activities supporting the creation of new housing units and a commercial
space.
The former Harbor Theater, now known as the Encore, has remained vacant
and blighted for quite some time and will be programmed into a three-story, 11-
unit mixed-use building, with the lower level acting as commercial space with
parking. These market rate units will be three 1-bed units, seven 2-bed units, and
one 3-bed unit. The total project investment is $3,750,000.
Eligible activities: The plan covers a wide range of eligible activities necessary
for site redevelopment, including:
• Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Necessary to Support Housing —
$525,000
• Demoliton--$165,000
• Brownfield Plan Amendment Preparation — $20,000
• Brownfield Plan Amendment Implementation — $10,000
• Contingency - $103,500
• Authority Administration Cost — $62,314
• Local Brownfield Revolving Fund (LBRF) — $360,460
The reimbursement period is anticipated to last until 2052, with collection of TIF
revenues beginning in 2027. The LBRF could potentially start collecting revenue
in 2049. The timeline of the reimbursement period may be adjusted pending
approval of a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) certificate or an Obsolete
Property Rehabilitation (OPRA) certificate.

would take ownership of them. Several of the lamps and wiring need to be
repaired, and the estimated cost of repair is $6,000. The city's entire budget for
street lighting repairs this year is $10,000 leaving little for the rest of the city after
the Heritage Village lamp expense.

V. DDA: Economic Development Director Position Economic Development
The Development Services Division has not had the Economic Development
Director department head role filled since 2021. We decided to grow the
operations of ED from the bottom up and created the Development Analyst
position to serve as board liaison to various entities and conduct outreach to
the city's various commercial corridors. That initiative has proven very fruitful,
and the workload has grown beyond the capacity of 2 FTEs. The intention since
2021 has always been to build capacity in conducting community-wide
economic development services and programming in order to justify the
Economic Development Director role, and this has been successful.
A pivot that we are faced with is that we wish to be responsive to the DDA's
expressed desire to have a full-time Development Analyst focused solely on the
DDA area and BRA work. We are proposing that the City of Muskegon fund 75%
of the Economic Development Director role, with the DDA funding the other
Page 4 of 6
Page 6 of 43
25%. As a result, this individual will take the additional outreach and liaison
responsibilities for smaller corridors from one Analyst role and allow a full-time
DDA/BRA focused FTE. Additionally, this person will be the direct supervisor for
the DDA/BRA Analyst, so they will be working on its behalf as well. They will also
have primary responsibility for business retention, expansion, and attraction
projects in the DDA. Budgeting conservatively at the top of the wage schedule,
the pay and benefits for this department head role will cost $192,000. We
propose the DDA/BRA cover $48,000 of this budgeted expense and the city
fund the remainder. This would be incorporated into the upcoming fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2026.
Motion by K. Reid, second by B. Hastings, to agree to incorporate 25% of the
Economic Development Director role salaries and wages into the Muskegon
DDA budget as presented.

BROWNFIELD PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS BROWNFIELD PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
(the "Agreement"), is entered into on , 2026, between the CITY OF
MUSKEGON BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, a Michigan public
body corporate established pursuant to Act 381 of the Public Acts of 1996, as amended, MCL
125.2651 et seq. ("Act 381"), whose address is 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan 49440
(the "Authority"), and LAKESIDE DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES, LLC a Michigan
limited liability company, whose address is 3597 Henry Street, Suite 200, Muskegon, Michigan
49441 (the "Developer").
RECITALS
A. The Authority was created by the City of Muskegon (the “City”) pursuant to the
Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act, Act 381 of the Public Acts of Michigan of
1996, as amended (“Act 381”). Pursuant to Act 381, the Authority has prepared a
Brownfield Plan, which was duly approved by the City of Muskegon Board of
Commissioners (the “Brownfield Plan”).
B. The Developer owns approximately 0.21 acres of property in the City of Muskegon at street
addresses 1937 Lakeshore Drive, Muskegon, Muskegon County, Michigan (the
“Property”), which is legally described in the attached Brownfield Plan Amendment (the
“Plan Amendment”) attached as Exhibit A, and which is a “housing property” as defined in
Act 381.
C. The Plan Amendment was recommended for approval by the MBRA on April 14, 2026,
and approved by the City of Muskegon Board of Commissioners on May 12, 2026.
D. The Developer proposes to repurpose the existing structure into a three-story, mixed-use
building including lower-level commercial space and integrated parking with upper levels
comprised of 11 owner-occupied, market rate residential units. The Project will have the
effect of assisting in the redevelopment of the Property, increasing housing inventory,
increasing the tax base, creating jobs, otherwise enhancing the economic vitality and quality
of life in the County.
E. Act 381 permits the Authority to capture and use the property tax revenues generated from
the incremental increase in property value of a redeveloped brownfield site constituting an
“eligible property” under Act 381 to pay or to reimburse the payment of costs of conducting
activities that meet the requirements under Act 381 of “eligible activities” (hereinafter the
“Eligible Costs”).
F. By undertaking the Project, the Developer incurred and will incur Eligible Costs, which
include costs associated with building demolition, infrastructure improvements to support
housing activities, Plan Amendment preparation and development, and Plan Amendment
implementation, all as defined in the Plan Amendment.
1
Page 11 of 43
G. The Authority has incurred and will incur certain eligible administrative expenses
associated with the Plan Amendment (the “Administrative Costs”), for which it seeks
reimbursement from Local Tax Increment Revenue (“Local TIR”), including Plan
Amendment implementation.
H. Following reimbursement of all amounts due the Developer and all amounts payable to the
Authority as Administrative Costs from applicable Local TIR (as defined below), additional
tax increment revenues will be deposited into the local brownfield revolving fund for up to
five full years, which is in accordance with Section 13(5) of Act 381, which limits such
deposits to be made for no more than five years after the time that capture is required to pay
the Eligible Costs.
I. In accordance with Act 381 and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the parties desire to
use the Local TIR that are generated from an increase in the taxable value of the real and
personal property resulting from the redevelopment of the Property to which the Authority
is entitled to receive (the “Tax Increment Revenues”) to reimburse the Developer for the
Eligible Costs, to pay the Authority for Administrative Costs and to fund a local brownfield
revolving fund pursuant to Act 381.
J. The parties are entering into this Agreement to establish the procedure for such
reimbursement and funding.
2
Page 12 of 43
Terms and Conditions
Therefore, in exchange for the consideration in, and referred to, by this Agreement, the parties
agree as follows:
1. Capture of Taxes: During the Term of this Agreement, the Authority shall capture only
those Tax Increment Revenues that are lawfully eligible for capture under Act 381 and that are
specifically authorized for capture in the Brownfield Plan and any approved Plan Amendment for the
Property all available Tax Increment Revenues from the Property and use those Tax Increment
Revenues as provided in this Agreement.
2. Submission of Costs: For those Eligible Costs for which the Developer seeks
reimbursement from the Authority, the Developer shall submit to the Authority:
(a) a written statement detailing the costs;
(b) a written explanation as to why they are Eligible Costs;
(c) copies of invoices from contractors, engineers or others who provided such service,
or, for the Developer's personnel for whose services reimbursement is being sought,
detailed time records showing the work performed by such individuals; and
(d) copy of occupancy permit
(e) copies of local required building permits, inspection reports, and any other
information which may be required by the Authority or its auditors.
3. Payments:
a. The Tax Increment Revenues received by the Authority shall be paid to the Developer
to reimburse it for Eligible Costs actually paid by the Developer. Local TIR generated
from the Property shall first be retained by the Authority in an amount equal to 5% of
the annual Tax Increment Revenues up to the maximum amount allowed annually for
Administrative Costs under Act 381 for all Authority projects. After retention of such
Local TIR, Tax Increment Revenues shall be used to reimburse the Developer for
Eligible Costs, provided, however, if Developer has not paid any applicable professional
fees and costs (legal, environmental, etc.) incurred by the Authority related to
3
Page 13 of 43
Developer’s request to use Project Tax Increment Revenues to reimburse it for Eligible
Costs within 30 days of being invoiced for such costs, the Authority is authorized to pay
such costs from Project Tax Increment Revenues before such Project Tax Increment
Revenues are used to reimburse Developer. The amount of Project Tax Increment
Revenues used to pay such costs shall be subtracted from Developer total Eligible Costs
and Developer shall not be entitled to reimbursement of such amount. The Authority
shall have no obligation to reimburse the Developer for Eligible Costs from Tax
Increment Revenues captured and received by the Authority after the 22-year Developer
reimbursement period. Tax Increment Revenues shall be distributed according to the
Cost Table included as Exhibit B.
b. Unless the Authority disputes whether such costs are Eligible Costs or the accuracy of
such costs, the Authority shall, after review by an Authority Board member or the City
Economic Development Coordinator and approval by the Authority Board, pay to the
Developer the amounts for which submissions have been made pursuant to Section 2 of
this Agreement within 30 days after the Authority Board has approved such payment
provided Tax Increment Revenues have been received from which the submission may
be wholly or partially paid and provided, further, an occupancy permit shall have been
issued for those portions of the Project for which there are Eligible Costs. If a partial
payment is made by the Authority because of insufficient Tax Increment Revenues, the
Authority shall make additional payments toward the remaining amount within 30 days
of its receipt of additional Tax Increment Revenues until all of the amounts, for which
submissions have been made, have been fully paid to the Developer or to December 31,
2048, whichever occurs first.
c. Adjustments: If, due to an appeal of any tax assessment or reassessment of any portion
of the Property or for any other reason, including but not limited to fraud,
misrepresentation, use of funds for ineligible costs, failure to complete the Project as
approved, the Authority is required to reimburse any Tax Increment Revenues to the
County, City, or any other tax levying unit of government, the Authority may deduct
the amount of any such reimbursement, including interest and penalties, from any
amounts due and owing the Developer. If all amounts due the Developer under this
Agreement have been fully paid or the Authority is no longer obligated to make any
further payments to the Developer, the Authority shall invoice the Developer for the
4
Page 14 of 43
amount of such reimbursement and the Developer shall pay the Authority such invoiced
amount within 30 days of the Developer's receipt of the invoice. Amounts invoiced and
paid to the Authority by the Developer pursuant to this paragraph shall be reinstated as
Eligible Costs for which the Developer shall have the opportunity to be reimbursed in
accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement. Nothing in
this Agreement shall limit the right of the Developer to appeal any tax assessment.
4. Reporting:
a. The Developer shall provide to the Authority, within 30 days after the Project
receives an occupancy permit, and annually thereafter no later than May 1 of each
year during the Term of reimbursement under this Agreement, a report of the

2. Square footage of new construction or renovation, whether residential,

3. New jobs created.
4. Total number of housing units.
5. Other information required to be reported to the State of Michigan to
verify compliance with Act 381 unless that information is readily
available to the Muskegon County Treasurer.
5. Interpretation: This is the entire agreement between the parties as to its subject. It
shall not be amended or modified except in writing signed by the parties. It shall not be affected by
any course of dealing and the waiver of any breach shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same or any other provision.
6. Assignment - Binding Effect: This Agreement and the rights and obligations under
this Agreement shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the consent of the
other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, the Developer may assign
its interest in this Agreement to an affiliate without the prior written consent of the Authority, provided,
5
Page 15 of 43
any such assignee shall acknowledge to the Authority in writing on or prior to the effective date of
such assignment its obligations upon assignment under this Agreement, provided, further, that the
Developer may make a collateral assignment of the Tax Increment Revenues after review of such
assignment and consent by the Authority’s legal counsel and approval of the Authority. As used in
this paragraph, “affiliate” means any corporation, company, partnership, limited liability company,
trust, sole proprietorship or other individual or entity which (a) is owned or controlled by the
Developer, (b) owns or controls the Developer or (c) is under common ownership or control with the
Developer. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successors or permitted assigns of the parties.
7. Indemnification: Developer agrees to indemnify and hold City of Muskegon, the City
of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, as well as all officers, agents, employees, and
assigns thereof harmless, including attorneys fees, against (a) any and all claims by any person claiming

provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and/or (b) claims by any third parties which may
arise out of, or be related to, the Developer’s redevelopment of the Property pursuant to this Agreement.
Developer shall not be obligated to indemnify any persons under this section if the liability arises out
of the person’s negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement or the negligence or willful
misconduct of any person or entity acting by, through or under any such persons.
8. Term: This Agreement shall terminate when all reimbursements and payments
contemplated under this Agreement have been paid or DATE.

Muskegon Downtown Development

Commission Meeting Date: May 12, 2026 Title: DDA: Michigan Makers Market/Girlfriends
Getaway Weekend Sponsorship
Submitted by: Jocelyn Hines, Development Department: Economic Development
Analyst
Brief Summary:
The organizers of Michigan Makers Market/Girlfriends Getaway Weekend are requesting sponsorship
for their Michigan Makers Market/Girlfriends Getaway Weekend.
Detailed Summary & Background:
The organizers of Girlfriends Getaway Weekend/Michigan Makers Market have reached out
regarding a potential sponsorship for their event taking place November 13–15, 2026, at the Delta
Hotel and VanDyk Mortgage Convention Center.
The event is designed to bring women together for a weekend of shopping, creative workshops, and
participation in the Michigan Makers Market on Saturday, November 14. Organizers also aim to
promote and feature downtown Muskegon businesses, encouraging attendees to explore all that
downtown has to offer.
Last year, DDA members and City staff attended the event, and the DDA’s vendor booth was utilized
by one of our Chalet vendors. Depending on the sponsorship level selected, there may be an
opportunity to offer similar support again this year.
The DDA supported the event last year in the amount of $5,000. Depending on the proposed
sponsorship level, additional support could be considered as part of the FY 2026–2027 budget
discussions.
Goal/Action Item:
2027 GOAL 3: COMMUNITY CONNECTION - More connected and cohesive community
