MINUTES OF THE JOINT MEETING

October 12, 2016 8:00 AM City Hall, Conference Room A

I. Call to Order

The meeting was called to order by TIFA Board Chair Tim Driessnack at 8:01 am. Present (TIFA): Tim Driessnack (Chair), Margaret McAvoy, Rick McGuirk, Nancy Ridley, Rich Swindlehurst (Vice-Chair), Brad Wahr Absent (TIFA): Tim Coscarelly, John Hunter, Tom Krapohl, Lisa Orlando, Jeff Smith Present (DDB): Rachel Blizzard, Peggy Bongard, Sarah Christensen (Vice-Chair), Paul Fox, Allison Quast-Lents (Chair), Rick Swindlehurst Absent (DDB): Tim Brockman, Pat Gallagher Also attending: (Staff): Mary Ann Kornexl, William Mrdeza, Michelle Sponseller

II. Approval of Agenda

Quast-Lents noted that Char Young had resigned from the DDB Board and should no longer be listed as a member on the Agenda. Mrdeza noted the change for future agendas. It was moved by McAvoy, seconded by Rich Swindlehurst, to approve the agenda with the amendment to remove Char Young. The motion passed unanimously.

III. Old and New Business

A. Finalize Downtown Capital Improvement Priorities and Any Additional Capital Requests

Sponseller reviewed the capital project list and noted areas of change as agreed to at the last joint meeting. These included:

· Removal of Bike Shelters and Corrals from the capital budget · Reduce the cost of Banner Poles to $1,000 and focus these funds on finding a

solution to hang banners between buildings

2



· Eliminate Pedestrian Lighting from the capital plan and rely on grant funding opportunities to implement this item

· Removal of Wayfinding from the capital budget

Sponseller asked if there were any additional adjustments to the six year capital improvements plan besides those listed above. Ridley suggested adding upgrades to the water services to properties downtown that would allow for those wishing to create upper story residences to comply with the fire code. The current code requires the full building to have sprinkler protection when creating residences above commercial uses; many of the properties are currently served by water mains that would not allow for this increase in water demand. The cost of this was estimated at approximately $30,000 per property. Ridley also suggested identifying funds for a yet-to-be determined Town Center redevelopment project as previously discussed. Swindlehurst inquired as to the status of work on Town Center since the original parking lot reconstruction was postponed a year while time was taken to consider other potential redevelopment options. Staff indicated that research into options was on-going, but without a development proposal to market, finding a viable project was difficult. Lents suggested creating a Master Plan for downtown that would include data gathering and a coordinated approach which would involve an economic mix analysis, identify best practices to increase the tax base, conduct a parking study, and outline year to year implementation strategies that would lead to a reinvigorated downtown district. She indicated that she was prepared to propose this idea at an upcoming City Commission meeting and was led to believe there were funds available through the state to help fund this type of effort. Additional discussion ensued around the idea of a downtown master plan as well as other options to consider for the Capital Plan. McGuirk indicated that from his experience, attracting a mixed use development which includes multi-story residential development is difficult; Swindlehurst remarked that it is challenging to get support for parking options proposed outside of what is perceived as downtown proper. Lents suggested that consideration should be made to dedicate TIFA funds for capital improvement projects and to have the General Fund support the salary for the Downtown Development Director. After further discussion, Sponseller summarized the additional changes to the capital improvements plan for downtown as expressed by Board members. These included:

· Set aside funds for parking lot maintenance only in the next few years · Postpone scheduling parking lot restoration activities in the near-term · Add approximately $100,000 for water service upgrades to assist downtown

property owners meet fire suppression requirements in instances where they were creating upper story residences

· Include matching funds for grant-funded projects and plan on streetscape improvements beginning in 2020

3



Sponseller and Kornexl reiterated that even with the above adjustments, there would not be enough capture generated to complete all of the capital needs proposed in the capital plan. There was general consensus that the above adjustments to the downtown capital plan captured the discussion at the meeting and directed Sponseller to adjust the plan to reflect those suggestions.

B. Discuss Options for Board Coordination/Restructuring

Mrdeza reported that the City Commission had discussed the idea of possibly separating the CBD TIFA Board from the DDA Board and combining the TIFA and Downtown Development Board (DDB). He indicated that there was some concern that the DDA’s focus was on the Mission/Pickard corridor which has different objectives than downtown and therefore should be a separate entity. Lents added that since previous research indicated combining the DDB and TIFA Board into one entity was legally not possible, one option was to convene one meeting during which the DDB and TIFA boards each would conduct their separate business, but could also share common information regarding downtown issues at that time. There was additional discussion regarding the proposal which explored the pros and cons of such a rearrangement. Swindlehurst and several others suggested quarterly meetings as an alternative to increasing communication between the DDB and TIFA Boards. After some additional discussion, it was the consensus of the group to support the concept of regular quarterly meetings rather than a restructuring of the Boards. Mrdeza indicated that he would pass along this input to the City Commission ahead of their meeting where this issue would be addressed further.

IV. Other Business

There was no other business proposed for consideration at this time. V. Public Comments

There were no public comments received or offered.

Present: Tim Driessnack (Chair), Tom Krapohl, John Hunter, Mary Ann Kornexl (for Nancy Ridley), Margaret McAvoy, Nancy Ridley, Jeff Smith, Rich Swindlehurst (Vice-Chair), Brad Wahr Absent: Tim Coscarelly, Rick McGuirk, Lisa Orlando, Also attending: (Staff): William Mrdeza, Michelle Sponseller

II. Approval of Agenda

It was moved by Krapohl, seconded by Swindlehurst, to approve the agenda as presented. The motion passed unanimously.

III. Approval of the November 1, 2016 Special Meeting Minutes

It was moved by Swindlehurst, seconded by Wahr, to approve the November 1, 2016 special meeting minutes as presented. The motion passed unanimously.

IV. Old and New Business

A. TIFA

1. Approval of 2016 TIFA Amended Budget Kornexl presented the following highlights to the 2016 TIFA budget and requested the Board consider approving the final amended budget as presented:

· Added $20,000 under Working Capital to account for donations for downtown light curtains on building facades

· Increased the Downtown Development Director’s line item to account for training and computer replacement

2



· Reduced the amount allocated for façade improvement based on demand need · Reduced the amount allocated for capital improvements based on an

approved reduction in projects and associated costs; added $40,000 for downtown light curtain matching program

Based on the above adjustments, Kornexl noted that the ending balance for the final amended 2016 CBD-TIFA budget was $589,500. Kornexl indicated that there were no changes in the final Industrial Park North TIFA budget. It was moved by McAvoy, seconded by Swindlehurst, to approve the 2016 CBD-TIFA and Industrial Park North TIFA amended budgets. The motion passed unanimously.

2. Approval of an Amendment to the Capital Improvement Plan

Kornexl and Sponseller explained that on June 13th the City Commission approved the 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Earlier this summer the Downtown Development Board (DDB) and CBD-TIFA Board met jointly to review the priority of these projects. At the October 12th joint meeting, the boards adopted an amended Capital Improvement Plan for 2017-2021. This amended Capital Improvement Plan eliminated bike shelters and corrals, pedestrian lighting (unless grant funded), and wayfinding signage. The amended plan added a project to address the fire suppression deficiency that has been identified as hindering the development of second floor apartments as well as the purchase of downtown Christmas lights that was approved at the November 1st special CBD-TIFA meeting. The funds allocated to banner poles was reduced to $1,000 and reconstruction of the Town Center parking lot was delayed. Because of the price associated with the fire suppression deficiency and its potential to be funded by future state grant programs, the City was encouraged to amend the CIP in order to be eligible to apply for state grant funds at a future date. It was moved by Swindlehurst, seconded by Krapohl, to amend the CIP for downtown and to recommend the City Commission adopt the amended CIP at their November 28th meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

B. DDA

1. Approval of 2016 DDA Amended Budget

Kornexl presented the following highlights to the 2016 DDA budget and requested the Board consider approving the final amended budget as presented:

· Added $9,464 (which shows as a deficit) to the Tax Tribunal Judgment line in anticipation of an additional loss in this line item due to judgments

· Slightly increased the amount allocated to Pedestrian and Traffic Safety to include the Campus Commons grid street project and Broomfield intersection lighting

· Slightly decreased the amount available for economic incentives based on awarded amounts

3



Based on the above adjustments, Kornexl noted that the ending balance for the final amended 2016 DDA budget was $312,205. It was moved by Swindlehurst, seconded by Hunter, to approve the 2016 DDA amended budget. The motion passed unanimously.

2. Continued Discussion of the Next Steps for Amending and Extending the DDA

Financing Plan and Amending the Development Plan

Mrdeza reminded the Board that the City’s legal staff was currently working on outlining the steps necessary to extend the ending date of the Financing Plan for the Mission/Pickard DDA District as well as amending the Development Plan to add any new projects which have been identified since the last amendment in 2010. Mrdeza distributed a timeline prepared by the City’s attorney of the scheduled steps necessary to follow during the amendment process. To date, Mrdeza had not received any additional project suggestions to be added to the Development Plan beyond decorative street lighting on Mission and Pickard, alley maintenance and reconstruction activities along Mission Street, and the development of a proposed Mission Street corridor plan. In order to keep the process moving forward, he asked the Board members to provide him with any additional project suggestions for the Development Plan by Monday, November 28th. After that date, he will begin working with the City’s legal staff to include an updated project listing in the Development Plan and to begin the process of amending both the Development and Financing Plans. It is anticipated that the process will be completed early in the next Fiscal Year in order to allow for adequate budget and project planning. Mrdeza provided the following cost estimates to the Board for their consideration regarding potentially identified projects:

· Decorative corridor lighting: $1,656,000 · Alley maintenance and repair: $ 420,000 · Mission Street corridor plan: $ 90,000

During the discussion, Board members suggested that as information is provided during the required input and comment periods, reasons for amending the DDA plan should be provided. One such reason discussed involved consistency between the ending dates of the Finance and Development Plans. Mrdeza indicated that this information would be included in the outreach materials.

3. Reminder of the Planapalooza Session

Mrdeza reminded Board members of the upcoming Planapalooza public input sessions on the City’s new zoning ordinance beginning Friday evening November 18th through the weekend and concluding with a summary and wrap up on Monday evening, November 21st. As the community begins work on a character- or form-based code, this is an opportunity for Board members as well as residents to provide input into desired elements that will shape the character of the community for years to come. Mrdeza indicated that while one of the sessions on Saturday, November 19th will focus on corridor design, input is welcome anytime during the weekend as

schedules permit. Mrdeza encouraged Board members to refer to the handout in the packet for more information.

Subject: FW: letter for the City Commission

From: Cil Lorand [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2017 10:05 PM To: Ridley, Nancy <NRIDLEY@mt‐pleasant.org> Cc: Kathy Ling <[email protected]> Subject: letter for the City Commission

To the City Commission:

I am writing to request that you read (or reread) the Feb. 8, Morning Sun editorial. It details important reasons for developing a forward-looking energy policy, which would increase our competitive edge and attract young residents to our area.

One first step in this direction would be an energy audit to help City officials know exactly how we’re doing at present and what the possibilities are for greater efficiency and increased sustainability in the future.

Thanks for giving this your attention.

Cil Lorand 1351 Tomah Drive Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858 email: [email protected]

Here’s a link to the editorial: http://www.themorningsun.com/opinion/20170208/other-views-common-ground-shared-vision For your convenience I’m also including the editorial below:

Common ground, shared vision

Although our country seems to be in uncharted political territory, there remains a bedrock of shared values and common ground. These values are especially important for local initiatives like creating the vision for a vibrant community bustling with excited entrepreneurs, families, and students. Mt. Pleasant and the central Michigan area have a chance to create an electrifying future for the city and county.

In November Mt. Pleasant City Commission invited and received significant public input on both residential and business considerations for the rewriting of its zoning ordinance during Planapalooza. The proposed transformations are summarized in the

2

November 21st planning finale (http://tinyurl.com/planapalooza) (video on the city’s website). Mt. Pleasant can work to make living areas more compatible for families and students and to make Mission Street a safer, more pleasant, multi-use corridor while retaining the city’s character and the character of neighborhoods. Making the area walkable and bikeable was a priority. The suggestions of the consultant certainly would make a more attractive, safer city.

Another concern for the city, also discussed in the planning, is attracting and retaining permanent, especially young, residents. A walkable, bikeable, attractive, safe city appeals to many people. Those qualities, however, miss an important piece of the economic picture—the piece needed for 21st century realities—the clean energy that sparks the imagination of young people who want a cleaner world to live in. According to Yale’s Climate Opinion Maps (https://environment.yale.edu/poe/v2014/), 77% of Isabella County residents support funding research into renewable energy sources, 74% support regulating CO2 as a pollutant, and 61% support requiring utilities to produce 20% electricity from renewable sources. Numerous polls indicate higher numbers among millennials (ages 18-35), as high as 80% for requiring utilities to produce 20, 30, or 50% from renewables.

Another ongoing concern for the city is attracting businesses and entrepreneurs. The following information from Deloitte (http://tinyurl.com/millennials-energy-survey) is instructive:

“The strong desire of residential consumers for clean-energy options, coupled with the increasing cost-effectiveness of solar and wind, are driving growing opportunities for utilities and businesses to explore ways to expand deployment of renewables,” … “This trend is really being led by the millennial generation, whose wants and needs are not only relevant, but increasingly an influential

factor in the transformation of electricity providers.” “We see similar trends on the business side as we do with residential consumers, with customers leading the way for companies to be resourceful and demanding greater environmental stewardship,” … “Containing electricity consumption remains an essential aspect of corporate strategy and a competitive advantage from both a cost-reduction and image standpoint. Utilizing renewables is increasingly a part of this success equation.”

Thus it would seem that planning for clean, renewable energy would be an important factor for the future. Already, local companies as large as American Mitsuba and as small as a coffee shop have indicated interest in rooftop solar, not to mention many homeowners. There’s also talk of expanding wind energy in the area.

A Chamber of Commerce forum on energy options for the future like one recently held in Grand Rapids would go a long way to providing businesses with the information they need. Joint planning by county municipalities, higher education, townships, and the county would provide economy of scale and save on duplication of time and effort. Blueprints (http://tinyurl.com/local-actions-guidebook) for this process are already available. We could follow the other cities and areas in Michigan from Traverse City to Ypsilanti that have already designed (http://tinyurl.com/energy-goals) their sustainability and clean energy goals.

With other areas of the country already experiencing extreme heat, floods, and rising sea levels, we would do well to anticipate the influx of people seeking a more pleasant and less threatening place to live and do business. Michigan is ideally situated to be one of those places. Obviously plentiful, clean water is an important draw. Clean energy already in place, ready for business, would be another.

As divisive as some aspects of national politics are, on the local level, lots of conversation in lots of places could develop this clean energy vision for central Michigan as an area anticipating the future with positive, productive plans. Business and governmental leaders

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: BIDS AND QUOTATIONS a. Sewer Relining

Bids were recently received for the relining of various sewers. As the attached memo from DPW Director John Zang indicates, the bid prices were very favorable and we are therefore recommending a not-to-exceed contract of $200,000 to Insituform Technologies USA, Inc. of Chesterfield, MO to complete additional required relinings. The budgeted amount for this project was approximately $219,000. Recommended Motion: Move to award the contract for sewer relinings to Insituform Technologies USA, Inc. in a not-to-exceed contract of $200,000.

b. Sand and Gravel

Bids were recently received by the Department of Public Works for the purchase of sand and gravel material to be used by the Street Department for various street repairs. Fisher Transportation Company is the low bidder. We are recommending award of contract to Fisher Transportation Company of Mt. Pleasant in the amount of $17,750. Recommended Motion: Move to award the contract for 2017 Sand and Gravel to Fisher Transportation in the amount of $17,750.

c. Crack Sealing

The attached memo recommends a contract with Wolverine Sealcoating and Asphalt for a not-to-exceed contract of $40,275. The amount above the bid price will be for additional crack sealing on more streets and will also include the approximately $5,000 crack sealing planned for in the Mission/Pickard alleys that were approved as part of the Operating Budget but were inadvertently left off the bid document.

Recommended Motion: Move to approve award of contract to Wolverine Sealcoating & Asphalt for a not-to-exceed cost of $40,275.

d. Spring Trees

The attached memo recommends the award of the spring tree bid to Bay Landscaping of Essexville, MI at a price of $19,843. This bid includes the purchase of 210 new trees of varying types as outlined in the bid documents. 200 of these trees will be placed in the street right-of-ways and the remaining 10 trees will go to the downtown business district. Although this bid amount is approximately $3,000 over the budgeted amount, adequate funds exist in the Major and Local Street Fund to cover this small overage. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the purchase of 210 trees from Bay Landscaping at a price of $19,843.

e. Water Meters

Late last year bids were approved for the purchase of small water meters but we indicated a need to re-bid the larger meters because the responding bidders did not meet the specifications. The attached memo outlines the bid prices received which meet the required specifications. Recommended Motion: Move to approve award a contract with Ferguson Waterworks for the purchase of 1 ½” to 6” meters as presented.

Recommendation: Due to the bid coming in well below the budgeted amount, I recommend award of the 2017 Sanitary Sewer Relining project to Insituform Technologies, USA, for a not-to-exceed amount of $200,000. The extra funds will be used to complete additional sections of sanitary sewer in need of relining. Funds are available in the Sewer Line Replacement Reserve.

Reason for Purchase: Pavement crack sealing for selected city streets is determined by the Street Department’s Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) system. Crack sealing prevents water from entering and damaging the road base, and helps extend the life of the roadway by several years. Process: On February 7, 2017, the following bids were received. Wolverine Sealcoating & Asphalt Jackson, MI $31,743.00 Scodeller Construction Wixom, MI $31,860.00 Fahrner Asphalt Sealers, LLC Saginaw, MI $34,830.00 Asphalt Restoration, Inc.

Contract Jackson, MI 49201 The low bidder is Wolverine Sealcoating and Asphalt. The City contracted with Wolverine in 2015 and 2016 for crack sealing, and they completed the work according to the City’s specifications. Because Wolverine’s bid was under the budgeted amount, additional crack sealing can be completed this year. The DDA will also fund up to $5,000 for alley crack sealing along the Mission Street corridor. This amount is included in the not-to-exceed amount of $40,275.

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER PURCHASE-BUYBACK PROGRAM WITH KRAPOHL FORD

FOR THE RENEWAL PURCHASE OF A TRUCK In 2015 the City Commission authorized the first contract with Krapohl Ford under the purchase-buyback program for some of our municipal trucks. As you know, based on additional approvals throughout the years, we have found this program to be quite successful. The initial truck was renewed in 2016 and is up for renewal again. It is desired to get this truck on the same replacement schedule as the other trucks in the program. We are therefore recommending the City Commission authorize the purchase-buyback of a 2017 pickup truck at a not-to-exceed cost of $33,409. Later this year when the other trucks are up for renewal, Krapohl Ford will purchase back this truck at the same price that we pay this month. It is recommended the City Commission authorize the purchase and the execution of the appropriate contract for this purchase-buyback program. Recommended motion: Move to authorize the purchase-buyback of a 2017 truck for a not to exceed price of $33,409. NJR/ap

To: Nancy Ridley, City Manager 2/23/2017 From: John Zang, DPW Director Subject: Approve Continuation of Purchase-Buyback Agreement for Unit 466

Purchase\Contract Recommendation Summary Request: The City Commission is requested to approve a continuation of the purchase-buyback agreement with Krapohl Ford Lincoln, of Mt. Pleasant, for a 2017 model F-250 pickup truck used by the Parks Department, for a not-to-exceed amount of $33,409. Reason for Purchase: On January 11, 2016, the Commission approved the continuation of a purchase-buyback agreement with Krapohl Ford for a 2016 model Ford F-250 pickup truck (Unit 466) used by the Parks Department. You may remember that Unit 466 was the pilot vehicle for the purchase-buyback program that began in 2015. Our original plan was to defer the replacement of Unit 466 until later this year when the buyback agreements expire for the large group Motor Pool trucks so that one request would be submitted to the Commission at that time. However, Krapohl has informed us the 2016 model cannot be deferred until then. Krapohl’s stated the truck would be a model year older, 2016 versus 2017, and it would negatively affect the resale value on their end. Therefore, we are requesting approval to continue the purchase-buyback agreement and replace the truck with a 2017 model. Once the 2017 model is secured, it can be included with the other Motor Pool trucks and replaced for a 2018 model later this year. Unit 466 is the only unit that will be replaced twice this year in order to have it on the same replacement schedule as the larger group of trucks. Under the current agreement, Krapohl’s will buy back Unit 466 for the original purchase price of $31,601, minus $240 for documentation and title fees. Per Krapohl’s, the 2017 model will cost $33,409 or less, and will have the same agreement for an equivalent buyback price. Vendor Name and Address: Reason for Selection: Krapohl Ford Lincoln Continuation of Agreement 1415 E. Pickard St. Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858 Recommendation: I recommend the City Commission approve the continuation of the purchase-buyback agreement with Krapohl Ford for Unit 466 to replace the 2016 model with a 2017 model truck, for a not-to-exceed price of $33,409. Funds are available in the 2017 Motor Pool Budget.



FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO THE CONSUMERS ENERGY STANDARD

LIGHTING CONTRACT Last fall the City Commission requested that a review of the lighting at the crossing guard location at the intersection of Michigan and Franklin Streets occur. It was suggested that it might be a good opportunity to review all of our crossing guard locations simultaneously. Since that time each of the crossing guard locations have been reviewed by members of the police department, engineering staff and Consumers Energy. Based on that review, the attached memo from City Engineer Stacie Tewari outlines the recommended lighting improvements for the eight locations to change and increase lighting for improved safety at the crossing locations. The 2017 Operating Budget includes an allocation of $120,000 for improved neighborhood pedestrian lighting. The 2017 project was for one side of Broadway Street from the bridge heading west. Engineering had not been completed so the approved budget indicates the lighting would be from the bridge to either Harris Street or Adams Street. As the attached memo indicates, it is possible with the existing budget to fund the improved lighting at the eight crossing guard locations at a cost of $18,862 and install lights on Broadway Street from the bridge to Harris Street. The bridge to Harris Street installation has not been bid yet, but the estimates we have indicate that section can be completed within the approved budget. The remaining sections to the west could be accomplished with the 2018 budget allocation. Based on the increased safety at the crossing guard locations, it is recommended the City Commission authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the required documents with Consumers Energy to complete the upgrades at the eight identified locations as well as the appropriate amended street lighting contract. Recommended motion: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the required Consumers Energy documents for upgraded lighting at the eight crossing guard locations. NJR/ap

MEMO TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager February 14, 2017 FROM: Stacie Tewari, City Engineer SUBJECT: Approval of School Crossing Guard Intersection Lighting Improvements by

Consumers Energy Sacred Heart Academy has requested safety improvements at the intersection of Michigan and Franklin following a crossing guard accident in the fall of 2016. The crossing guard accident was caused by a distracted driver. Since the time of the accident, all of the school crossing guards have received improved lighted signs and additional safety training. The City Traffic Control Committee and some of the school faculty members and parents have recommended lighting improvements at the intersection. The Engineering Department has worked with Consumers Energy on pricing for lighting improvements at this intersection and also the seven other crossing guard intersection locations throughout the city. Below is the quote from Consumers Energy for each intersection along with a description of the proposed lighting improvements:

1. Kinney/High: Removal of existing center suspension light and install (2) 110W LED cobra head lights at NE and SW corner, angled toward intersection per your request. $4,062.00

2. Broadway/Brown: Replace existing cobra head with 213W LED on SW corner and new 213W LED cobra head on NE corner with new pole. $2,322.00

3. Brown/Illinois: Replace existing cobra head with 72W LED on SE corner and install new 72WLED and new pole on NE corner. $1,662.00

4. Crawford/Country Way: remove existing cobra head, and fiberglass pole, install new fiberglass pole and 72W LED cobra head on angle to intersection. $4,016.00

5. Preston/Watson: Remove existing center suspension and install 2 72W LED cobra heads, on NE and SW corner: $2,042.00

6. Broadway/Adams: remove existing cobra head and install 110W LED cobra head on NE corner, install new 110W LED cobra head on SW corner: $1,565.00

7. Adams/Fessenden: remove existing cobra head and install new 110W LED cobra head on NW corner: $1,406.00

8. Michigan/Franklin: Replace existing cobra head with 213W LED cobra head on NW corner and install new 110W LED cobra head on NE side of road: $1,787.00

The total cost for all eight intersections would be $18,862.00. This would include converting all existing lights to LED, adding 8 fixtures, and removing 2 center suspension fixtures. The approximate yearly increase to the city electric bill for street lighting would be $2,160.00 for all of the intersection improvements as proposed above.

Page | 2

The 2017 budget includes $120,000 for installation of new pedestrian lights. This money is currently allocated to install pedestrian lights on one side of Broadway Road. If a portion of these lighting funds are allocated to the crossing guard intersection lighting improvements, the Broadway pedestrian lighting project would be from the bridge to Harris Street. Consumers Energy requires approval of changes to the existing city lighting contract prior to beginning work and a resolution from City Commission authorizing the work and changes to the contract. We recommend that the City Commission authorize the mayor and clerk to sign the required Consumers Energy authorization, resolution and contract amendment for the proposed intersection lighting work.

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: RECEIVE AMENDED RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE MT.

PLEASANT MUNICIPAL AIRPORT AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE SAME

As discussed during the February 13, 2017 work session, the Airport Advisory Board is recommending an update to the Airport Rules and Regulations for the Mt. Pleasant Municipal Airport. The Airport Advisory Board has been reviewing these rules over the last year as they have previously not been updated since 2003. The primary change to the rules and regulations allows for a mechanic to operate at the airport as a commercial operator instead of being required to be a fixed base operator. This provides more flexibility and opportunity for a mechanic to be available to service planes that are based at the airport. During the work session the City Commission requested the addition of a provision to require a review of these rules and recommendations at least every three years by the Airport Advisory Board. That provision has been added. It is recommended the City Commission approve the updated Rules and Regulations for the Mt. Pleasant Municipal Airport as recommended by the Airport Advisory Board with the one amendment noted above. Recommended motion: Move to approve the proposed Rules and Regulations for the Mt. Pleasant Municipal Airport as presented. NJR/ap

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION TO APPROVE FACILITY LICENSE

AGREEMENTS At the February 13 City Commission meeting action was postponed on the recommended resolution to approve facility license agreements. The City Commission requested additional information which is included in the attached communication from Director of Parks and Public Spaces Chris Bundy. Staff feels it is very important for contracts outlining the mutual expectations be approved as outlined in the original memo recommending the contracts. The reason for postponement seemed to be centered around whether a fee per game should be implemented for the reserved usage of the public fields and the direct costs of preparing the fields. The fees recommended for 2017 for Mt. Pleasant Little League and Girls Fast Pitch Softball was based on the direct costs of Parks staff to handle the preparation work. Implementation of such fees was recommended to be consistent with what was approved in 2016 regarding charging for reserved field use by individual groups and for tournaments. Staff concurs that the partnership that has existed with these two groups is very positive and very valuable to the community. The decision regarding whether to charge a fee to the programs to cover the direct cost of the preparation work is a policy decision for the City Commission to make. The following recommended motions provide two options for consideration: Recommended motion: Move to approve the resolution for facility license agreements as recommended by staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission as presented. OR Move to approve the facility license agreements as recommended by staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission with an amendment to paragraph three to change the per

game fee to $0 for 2017 on each of the agreements for Mt. Pleasant Little League and Girls Fast Pitch Softball. NJR/ap




FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION TO APPROVE FACILITY LICENSE

AGREEMENTS As the attached memo from Parks and Recreation staff outlines, the City has a long history of successful partnerships with Mt. Pleasant Little League, Mt. Pleasant Baseball Association and Mt. Pleasant Girls Softball and our community has been well served. The partnerships have had a positive impact on youth, as well as high school sports teams and have also resulted in Mt. Pleasant serving as a host for numerous tournaments over the years. Developing standard agreements has been a pending staff task for a couple of years. Even though basic agreements exist from the 1970’s, much has changed since then and most matters have only been dealt with verbally, which can often lead to misunderstandings and unmet expectations. Based on research completed, conversations with the partners and legal review, staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission are recommending a standard template to use going forward. In addition, specific agreements for 2017 for Little League and Fast Pitch Softball have been developed. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed all of these materials at their January meeting and unanimously recommend approval to the City Commission. The attached resolution would approve the template, authorize staff to sign the standard agreements and approve the specific agreements for 2017 for Little League and Fast Pitch Softball. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the resolution regarding facility license agreements as presented. NJR/ap

MEMO TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager FROM: Chris Bundy, Director of Parks & Public Spaces Ryan Longoria, Director of Recreation Steve Hofer, Recreation Coordinator DATE: February 8, 2017 SUBJECT: City Park Youth Sports Agreements CC: Bill Mrdeza, Director of Community Services For over 40 years the City Parks and Recreation Departments have worked closely with area youth sports leagues to help facilitate strong programs and quality facilities for our community. Mt. Pleasant’s recreational youth softball and baseball programs including Mt. Pleasant Girls’ Youth Softball, Mt. Pleasant Little League Baseball, and Mt. Pleasant Baseball Association are envied throughout mid-Michigan and known locally for great youth participation and quality facilities. These “grass roots” programs were created years ago by dedicated community members and have maintained consistent community involvement over the years up to the present day and have continued to flourish with the combined support of the City and dedicated community members. Basic use agreements were established in the 1970’s between the City and youth services organizations covering items such as facility use, cost sharing for utilities, and youth participation but are no longer relevant today. Over the years with the ongoing succession of volunteers and City staff coupled with program changes, liability requirements, facility upgrades, flood damage and repairs etc. the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff feels it is imperative to update and formalize our facility youth sports agreements to:

Provide a modern level of consistency to all league agreements Insure ongoing communication and input with each organization

o Board members change over the seasons, and keeping everyone updated and engaged is the key to collaboration success

Insure accountability and reduce liability for use of City facilities o Assure that all leagues using City facilities are conducting appropriate

coach/volunteer background checks o Assure proper liability insurance is in place for each activity and appropriate risk

management documents are received Specifically outline the scope of services needed/desired for each facility and league and

identify who and how work will be completed Establish an appropriate cost recovery system to support a sustainable facility

maintenance program Better assure that local youth have access to quality City Recreation facilities well into

the future Staff has worked with legal counsel to create a general template to be used by outside athletic organizations requesting use of the city’s facilities for athletic programming and events. The agreements for Little League and Girls’ Youth softball (attached) were created using this template. Staff has been in communication with our league partners and have discussed the need for updated agreements and associated costs and they are aware of potential upcoming changes. Each league that utilizes City facilities has different needs and level of care and assistance from


City staff. The attached agreements and fees reflect the level and scope of the City’s participation for each league during the upcoming 2017 season. At this time staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission are recommending that these be annual agreements between the City and the participating organizations to assure ongoing communication with each league and allow for annual evaluation and input. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed and discussed the general template, agreements, and fees and made the following motion at their regular January 2017 meeting: The Mt. Pleasant Parks and Recreation Commission recommends the City Commission adopt the general template and 2017 facility use agreements that accurately reflect operations and maintenance for:

Mt. Pleasant Little League Baseball with per game fee of $18.00 in 2017 Mt. Pleasant Girls Youth Softball with per game fee of $20.00 in 2017, including a tiered

increase in 2018 to better reflect actual costs of the league.

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ISABELLA COUNTY

HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN In prior years the City has adopted the Isabella County Emergency Operations Plan. A component of that plan under federal law is for a Hazard Mitigation Plan. Consistent with the Emergency Operation Plan, the City has partnered with Isabella County on the development and review of the recommended plan. The attached memo from Fire Chief Rick Beltinck outlines some background on the plan and how it was developed. This plan does not obligate the City for any specific response but makes the City eligible for potential funding for the mitigation of the hazards. The plan itself is 178 pages long and is therefore not included in the packet. The Table of Contents which outlines the content of the plan is included for reference. If the City Commission should desire a copy of the entire plan, please let us know. It is recommended the City Commission approve the resolution to adopt the plan as presented. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the resolution adopting the Isabella County Hazard Mitigation Plan as presented. NJR/ap

MEMORANDUM

Date: February 9th 2017 To: Paul Lauria, Director of Public Safety From: Rick Beltinck, Fire Chief Re: Adoption of the Isabella County Hazard Mitigation Plan Under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, state and local governments are required to develop local hazard mitigation plans in order to be eligible for pre- and post-disaster funding from the federal government. The Plan was prepared in accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) documents: Local Mitigation Handbook and the Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide, and the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division (MSP/EMD) publication 207: Local Hazard Mitigation Workbook.

The Isabella County Hazard Mitigation Plan serves as the foundation for hazard mitigation activities within the community. Implementation of the plan’s recommendations will assist in the reduction of injuries, loss of life, and destruction of property due to natural and technological hazards. The Plan provides a path toward continuous, proactive reduction of vulnerability to the most frequent hazards that result in repetitive and often severe social, economic and physical damage. The ideal end-state would be the total integration of hazard mitigation activities, programs, capabilities, and actions into normal, day-to-day governmental functions and management practices.

Isabella County Emergency Management Director and the Local Emergency Planning Commission (LEPC) worked with the East Michigan Council of Governments (EMCOG) and the MSP/EMD to develop this Plan. The intent of the Plan is to work with those familiar with Isabella County to describe the County, and to create an action plan to protect the health, safety, and economic interests of residents through hazard mitigation, planning, awareness, and implementation. Recommend that the City Commission adopts The Isabella County Hazard Mitigation Plan as an official plan of the city of Mt Pleasant.

Hazard Mitigation Plan WHEREAS the City of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan is at risk from hazards that could

damage commercial, residential, and public properties, displace citizens and businesses, close streets and bridges, divide the community both physically and emotionally, and present general public health and safety concerns; and

WHEREAS the community has prepared a Hazard Mitigation Plan that outlines the community’s options to reduce overall damage and impact from natural and technological hazards; and

WHEREAS representatives of the community, residents, and businesses have reviewed the Hazard Mitigation Plan and it meets the federal, state, and local guidelines.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Isabella County Hazardous Mitigation Plan is hereby adopted as an official plan by the City of Mt. Pleasant.




SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZATION OF A LETTER OF INTENT AS PART OF

THE STAFFING FOR ADEQUATE FIRE & EMERGENCY RESPONSE (SAFER) GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS

Public Safety staff has identified a federal grant opportunity and has completed the paperwork for a grant request. This grant would cover partial funding for three years of an additional firefighter in the Fire Department. As the attached memo from Fire Chief Rick Beltinck outlines, the anticipated grant amount is $150,000 and would require a local contribution of approximately $100,000 over the three years. The reason this grant application is before the City Commission is that the application requires the City to make a commitment for no layoffs or reduction in staffing levels in the Fire Department during the three-year term of the grant. After the grant ends, the City has the full authority to determine the appropriate ongoing staffing. This grant could be used for a firefighter position that would assist with emergency response which is the focus of the grant. In addition, the position could be utilized to assist with the increasing workload in the Fire Department particularly related to rental housing inspections. Also, over the next three years, three members of the current staff will be eligible for retirement. Having this additional position would allow for training and/or potential to replace a vacancy if one or more of those retirements occurs at the end of the three years. It is recommended the City Commission authorize the Mayor to sign the letter of intent regarding the commitment of no layoffs during the three-year period of the grant. These grants will be awarded in the fall of 2017 with a start date in 2018. Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the Mayor to sign the letter of intent regarding staffing for the firefighter safety grant as presented. NJR/ap

MEMORANDUM

Date: February 15, 2017 To: Paul Lauria, Director of Public Safety From: Rick Beltinck, Fire Chief Re: Staffing for Adequate Fire & Emergency Response Grant The SAFER Grant intends to improve local fire departments’ staffing and deployment capabilities so they may more effectively respond to emergencies. If awarded the grant, the additional staffing will help us assure that an appropriate number of trained personnel will respond to an incident scene. Upon receipt of the grant, it is our desire that the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department hires one (1) additional firefighter to assist with an increasing workload as well as adding another person on scene with the first responding engine. This additional firefighter increases our initial response numbers allowing us to make rapid offensive attacks more often and in a safer method. As you are aware, the Neighborhood Resource Unit (NRU) is made up of a unique team of personnel from the Fire and Police Departments as well as Code Enforcement. If awarded, the additional person would be assigned to the NRU. The SAFER Grant funds this position for a three year period, up to a total of $150,000. The City’s commitment over that period is estimated to be approximately $100,000. In addition, the City Commission has to commit to no layoffs in the Fire Department during the duration of the grant (see attached letter) and a Letter of Agreement between the City and the Fire Union (POLC) will have to be negotiated. I am recommending that the City Commission authorize Mayor Ling to sign the attached letter of intent, committing to no layoffs in the Fire Department for the duration of the grant.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN EXTENSION TO THE EXPIRATION

DATE FOR 2016 SIDEWALK LICENSES FROM OCTOBER 31, 2016 TO APRIL 30, 2017

Throughout 2016 the City Commission approved three sidewalk dining licenses under the existing policy for sidewalk displays and food/beverage consumption as last amended April 27, 2015. The Principal Shopping District Board had discussions during 2016 about potential amendments to the policy. One of the amendments being considered is to allow for licensing year-round as opposed to limiting it to the April through October time period. Due to the reconfiguration of the downtown boards the policy review and a recommendation has not been completed and is scheduled for discussion at their March meeting. Any proposed changes to the policy would be made to the City Commission at the second meeting in March. Because of the unseasonably warm weather a request has been made to extend the sidewalk dining 2016 licenses through April 30 of this year. This would not apply to merchandise displays or patio dining. Such an extension would allow individual businesses to determine if the weather is appropriate for the outdoor dining. Recommended motion: Move to authorize the extension of the three sidewalk dining 2016 sidewalk licenses to expire April 30, 2017. NJR/ap

MEMORANDUM

TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager

CC: Bill Mrdeza, Community Services Division Director Principal Shopping District Board

FROM: Michelle Sponseller, Downtown Development Director

DATE: February 20, 2017

SUBJECT: Downtown Sidewalk License Policy – Licensing Period Extension Request BACKGROUND: The Sidewalk License Policy for Merchandise Displays, Food and Alcohol is designed to allow sidewalk merchandise displays, cafes or outdoor seating on public property in locations where they are determined to be appropriate by the City Commission. These general goals include, among others, the following specific purposes:

(1) To attract residents and non-residents to downtown Mt. Pleasant; (2) To provide an additional way for retailers, restaurants, bar establishments, or other

businesses within the Principal Shopping District / Central Business District to expand their operations;

(3) To promote sidewalks as useful and properly planned visual amenities; (4) To provide adequate space for pedestrians on the sidewalk adjacent to sidewalk

displays, cafes or outdoor seating and to insure access to adjacent commercial and retail uses;

The City Commission may license City rights-of-way for merchandise displays, food and alcohol service. Licenses are good from April 1 to October 30. However, since the PSD has been without a board until recently they were unable to begin discussions on the outdoor dining policy until last week. The biggest theme of discussion and consensus was to request outdoor dining year-round provided access is maintained during the snowy season. With the unseasonably warm weather staff is requesting a temporary extension of the licensing period expiration date from October 31 until April 30 to allow businesses licensed in 2016 to make the most of the warm weather. Although there have been no discussions with business owners for new licenses to date, staff would work with any new applicant to apply under the new policy in April. Please note that this requested license expiration date extension is for those businesses whose dining is located on sidewalks, not for dining patios as they potentially could obstruct snow removal yet this season. The PSD has the full policy review and update scheduled for their March 16 meeting. Extension of the expiration date will provide time for city commission to review the new policy at the March 27 meeting and businesses to begin applying at the April 10th meeting. Businesses currently licensed for outdoor dining on sidewalks:

· Coffee Room (110 East Broadway) · Max and Emily’s (125 East Broadway) · Pleasant City Coffee (207 West Broadway)

REQUESTED ACTION: Review and consider approval of the temporary Sidewalk License policy licensing period to expire on April 30, 2017.




SUBJECT: CONSIDER SETTING A SPECIAL MEETING FOR MONDAY, MAY 15,

2017 AT 5:00 P.M. FOR A WORK SESSION ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

Prior to the 2018-2022 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) being approved at the first meeting in June, a work session for discussion on the proposed plan is typically held. At the last City Commission meeting general consensus was to hold the work session for the 2018-2022 CIP on an evening separate from a City Commission meeting night. A poll was created and yielded Monday, May 15, 2107 at 5:00 p.m. as the best date/time combination for the special meeting to be held. Recommended motion: Move to set a special meeting for Monday, May 15, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. for discussion on the Capital Improvement Plan. NJR/ap
