TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2017

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: RECEIVE INFORMATION AND RESPONSE FROM PRINCIPAL SHOPPING DISTRICT AND THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCE AUTHORITY FOR DOWNTOWN BARRIER-FREE PARKING SPACES

Attached for your reference is the information provided in the January 9 packet in regard to the request of the Human Rights Committee to add on-street barrier-free parking spaces downtown. This matter was referred to the downtown boards to review and make a recommendation on if, where and how many barrier free spaces should be considered.

Attached is the memo from Downtown Development Director Michelle Sponseller outlining the research done by the downtown boards and their recommendation.

I’ve shared the recommendation of the downtown boards with Ann Swift who was the Human Rights Committee member who first brought this issue to you.

I would suggest we obtain a response/input from the Human Rights Committee before the City Commission decides on next steps.

NJR/ap

Excerpt from January 9, 2017 E-Packet

To: City Commission

From: Nancy Ridley, City Manager

Subject: Barrier Free Parking

Earlier this year Ann Swift addressed the City Commission on behalf of the Isabella County Human Rights Committee requesting that barrier free parking be added to the on-street parking along Broadway and Main Street. This memo will provide some general information and request direction on next steps

ü The ends of the angled parking areas would be the best location to convert spaces to barrier free if desired ü To convert an angled parking space to a barrier free space requires adjacent loading space and the installation of sidewalk ramps from the loading area ü Estimated cost to convert two angled spaces to one barrier free space is approximately $2,600 per location (Note: cost may vary dependent on existing grades and/or tree and tree grate locations. Trees may have to be moved or removed depending on the location) ü Available locations would be : o South side of the 100 block of East Broadway o East side of the 100 and 200 blocks of South Main ü Act 51 funds for Major Streets can be used for the cost to convert the parking spaces ü Regulations require barrier free spaces in parking lots, but not for on-street.

Options for converting parallel parking spaces in the downtown to barrier free would be very limited, if any, due to current requirements for 5 feet of space between the vehicle and the curb (as well as 5 feet in front of or behind the vehicle) OR 5 feet between the vehicle and the drive lane for the required access aisles. See attached diagram (Note: the current barrier free spaces on Main and University do not comply with current requirements)

As Ms. Swift noted during her comments, barrier free spaces exist in all of the parking lots but currently none exist for on-street parking.

To add on-street barrier free parking on Main and Broadway there are six potential angled parking areas where the conversion could occur. A map indicating the six potential parking areas is attached. Staff is looking for direction on how many on-street barrier free spaces are desired and the preferred locations.

The City Commission can either provide initial preferences and ask the Downtown TIFA and Principal Shopping District boards for input on those preferences or the Commission could request recommendations from the Downtown TIFA and PSD boards. Once recommended locations area greed to, staff can complete a review of the locations and provide a more fine- tuned estimate for consideration.

Excerpt from January 9, 2017 E-Packet

Excerpt from January 9, 2017 E-Packet Date: March 20, 2017 To: Nancy Ridley, City Manager CC: William Mrdeza, Community Services Division Director From: Michelle Sponseller, Downtown Development Director Re: Barrier-Free Parking Request

Last fall City Commission requested both the TIFA and PSD boards review a request by the Isabella County Human Rights Committee Disability sub-committee that barrier free parking be added to the on- street parking along Broadway and Main street in two specific areas – the south side of the 100 block of East Broadway and the East side of the 100 and 200 blocks of Main.

Although on-street barrier-free spaces are not required by code, TIFA and PSD members wanted due diligence on the matter, conducting usage counts of existing barrier-free spaces in parking lots and have discussions with property and business owners along Broadway and Main street in the targeted area to gain their input.

Over the past two months TIFA and PSD members counted usage of barrier-free spaces within municipal lots and discussed the request with businesses along Broadway and Main to gather information on who would like to have barrier-free parking in these areas and if they had suggestions on where they wish to have the barrier-free parking installed.

Findings of the TIFA and PSD are as follows: · Of the businesses along Broadway and Main street, only two desire to convert on-street spaces to barrier-free. o Listening Ear (107 East Illinois) o Vitality (128 East Broadway) · Existing-barrier free spaces found in municipal parking lots are being used on average of 50% of the time. · Many of the businesses in the south and north sides of the 100 block of East Broadway and the East side of the 100 and 200 blocks of Main are accessible from the rear of the buildings by either the 1.) sidewalk along the rear of the building, accessible from University street to the back entrances or 2.) private parking spaces at the rear of the building.

At the March TIFA and PSD meeting both boards passed motions to leave angle parking spaces as is, with no additional barrier-free spaces on Broadway or Main street. However, the TIFA and PSD boards are supportive of the addition of one or two barrier-free spaces at the south-east end of parking lot 5.

CITY OF MOUNT PLEASANT CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION 320 W. BROADWAY MT. PLEASANT, MICHIGAN 48858

Dear Honorable Members of the City Council and Planning Commission,

I write on behalf of Oasis Wellness Center (OWC) regarding the discussion before this joint session of the City Council of Mount Pleasant and the Planning Commission related to the recently enacted Public Acts 281, 282 and 283 of 2016. In 2008, a state proposal and voter initiative birthed the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA). For the City of Mount Pleasant, over seventy-one percent (71%) of its citizens voted in support of the voter initiate and every precinct in the city voted in the majority for the state proposal. The caregiver-patient model created under the MMMA was ideal at its conception, but it was soon discovered that its practical application created major problems for the state. Therefore, in September 2016, the Michigan Legislature passed a set of public acts supported by a bipartisan consensus which created a new regulated commercial component allowing for licensed commercial growing, processing, safety compliance, secure transporting, and the provisioning of medical marihuana. The bulk of the legislation regulating the commercial marijuana industry is Public Act 281 of 2016, titled as the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (MMFLA). One of the five type of licenses permitted under the MMFLA are grow facilities and these commercial operations are clandestine, innocuous, and low-traffic facilities where their impact on the industry is entirely as a supply chain to the provisioning centers. These facilities have no retail component and will not advertise its service to the general public. Their impact on a community when placed in an industrial or agricultural district is often no different than that connected to a tool-and-die shop or a shirt printing factory. On the other hand, provisioning centers are the retail licensee under the MMFLA and will be the only licensed facility permitted to dispense and sell medical marihuana to qualified and registered patients and caregivers. Ideally, the number of provisioning centers within a community should be limited to one (1) or two (2) facilities and which can be administrated through a vigorous Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The purpose and legislative intent of MMFLA is to provide a safe and regulated environment for patients to purchase their medicine and allow market forces to drive illegal home growing operations out of the basements. We strongly encourage Mount Pleasant to be part of the solution and vote in the affirmative to move a carefully thought out ordinance forward. The ordinance should allow for multiple grow facilities in the industrial or agricultural districts, and a very limited number of provisioning centers.

Sincerely, /s/ Paul Weisberger Oasis Wellness Center

Mount Pleasant City Commission 320 W. Broadway St, Mount Pleasant, MI 48858

Dear Commissioners,

1 am reaching out to you today in regards to the Medical Marijuana Task Force that was proposed during the meeting that took place on Monday, March 13th. 2017. ln my experience from being on the MPPS Board of Education, task force or committees such as these usually comprises people to represent all of the different stakeholders. The obvious stakeholders regarding medical marijuana establishments are the general public, medical marijuana patients, potential business owners and law enforcement. I'm sure there are more.

I would ask that I be considered to be on this task force. Not only do I represent a potential business owner, I also represent medical marijuana patients and I'm a lifelong community member. I have my thumb on the pulse of the medical marijuana community, including the industry. I believe the aforementioned, along with my personal experiences working with the Medical Marijuana Act of 2008 puts me in a position to bring a unique and valuable perspective to the task force. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Brandon McQueen From: Justin Dunaskiss Sent: Friday, March 17, 2017 10:49 AM To: city manager Cc: Jenn Zielinski Subject: Follow Up from Mondays' Joint Meeting Attachments: Model Medical Marihuana Facilities Ordinance.pdf; MMFLA Summary for Municipalities.pdf

Introduction Michigan passed laws on September 21, 2016 to create a controlled process for medical marijuana cultivation and distribution (HB 4209, 4210 & 4827). These laws require the State of Michigan to develop a highly-regulated tracking system for the product; from seed to cultivation to transportation and to the sale of qualified patients. Additionally, a structured licensing program was included to provide licensing for the following types of Medical Marijuana Facilities: growing, processing, provisioning, secure transport and safety compliance.

Licensing Public Act 281, entitled Medical Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act (MMFLA), allows municipalities the choice to opt-in or out with regards to Medical Marijuana Facilities. A municipality that choses to opt-in has the right to limit the number of licenses available as well as the type of license(s) available. Additionally, if a municipality elects to opt-in, the municipality will be required to adopt an ordinance for one or more of the licenses (listed below) authorizing medical marijuana facility(ies) to operate in their community before the State will issue a license. The State will begin accepting applications on December 15, 2017 and approval of requested licenses is expected to begin late in the first quarter of 2018. Under the MMFLA there are five types of licenses a medical marijuana facility can apply for:

 Grower o Class A: 1 to 500 Plants o Class B: 500 to 1000 Plants o Class C: 1,000 to 1,500 Plants  Processor (Extraction/Manufacturing)  Provisioning Center (Dispensary)  Secure Transporter  Safety Compliance Facility (Laboratory Testing)

Zoning The MMFLA is silent as to the zoning requirements for Processors, Provisioning Centers, Secure Transporters and Safety Compliance Facilities. However, the MMFLA specifically states that a Grower license application will not be approved unless it is located in an area zoned for:

 Industrial  Agricultural

Regulations The State of Michigan is creating an entirely new administration under the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, (LARA). LARA will partner with the newly created administration, the Marijuana Licensing Board and the Marijuana Advisory Panel to develop a formalized system for ensuring public safety, licensing, regulation and the tracking of all medical marihuana in Michigan. These rules and regulations will be coupled with the building and implementation of a state-of-the-art, real-time internet- based Statewide Monitoring System to track the movement of all marijuana 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Items that will be regulated and/or tracked included, but are not limited to:

 Qualification requirements and restrictions for all persons involved with the operation of a medical marihuana facility (including rigorous background checks)  Minimum insurance requirements  Minimum security systems  Inventory control  Facility and equipment standards  Operating regulations for each license type to ensure the health, safety and security of the product, facility, employee, patients and citizens  Secured transport complying with security, traceability and accountability  Testing standards  Standards for cultivating, manufacturing, transporting, storage and sale  Tracking from “seed to sale”  Packaging and label standards  Marketing and advertising restrictions  Waste management  Quality control  Chain of custody standards  Daily purchase limits  Maximum THC standards for infused products  Qualified/registered patient database

Application Process The MMFLA advises that when the State receives any application for the licensure of a medical marijuana facility it will request the following from the local municipality:

 Ordinance authorizing marijuana facility(ies)  Zoning regulations applicable to the proposed marijuana facility(ies)  A description of any violation of the authorizing or zoning ordinance by the applicant

Revenue The MMFLA will create a Medical Marijuana Excise Fund; from the funds that are collected 60% will be distributed locally. The funds in the Medical Marijuana Excise Fund are generated through a 3% tax on the gross retail receipts of all Provisioning Centers and is dispersed, at the close of each fiscal year, in the following manner:

 25% to municipalities o Municipalities are allocated a share of 25% in proportion to the number of facilities operating within the municipality  30% to the county o Counties are allocated a share of 25% in proportion to the number of facilities operating within the county  5% to the County Sheriff o This is directly allocated to the County Sheriff

The remaining 40% is allocated in the following manner:

 30% to the state  5% to the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards  5% to the State Police

The projected annual revenue for a municipality, assuming 500 licenses are issued by the state, could generate a significant revenue source for a municipality:

Estimated Sales Tax Revenue: $837 million Estimated Excise Tax Revenue: $24 million

Estimated annual revenue analysis for local municipalities that opt in:

$24 million in excise tax X 25% for local municipalities $6 million to appropriate to municipalities that have opted-in

If 500 licenses are issued, municipalities would be entitled to receive $12,000 per license.

5 licenses = $ 60,000 10 licenses = $120,000 15 licenses = $180,000

The MMFLA also provides that municipalities may impose an annual fee not to exceed $5,000 per license to defray associated administrative and enforcement costs.

Additionally, a municipality also levy various other fees associated with the licensing process, i.e. application fee, business license fee, annual inspection fee, etc.

Michigan Medical Marijuana Act Public Act 283 (HB 4210) amended the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA) of 2008. The amendment was written to allow for the manufacture and use of marijuana-infused products (such products known as “medibles”) by qualifying patients. The MMMA entitles qualifying patients the opportunity to grow their own plants (up to 12) or elect to have a Primary Caregiver assist them with growing medical marijuana. A Primary Caregiver can cultivate medical marijuana plants for up to a total of 6 patients; allowing the Primary Caregiver to grow up to 72 plants (12 per patient). The MMMA is separate from the Medical Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act, whereas it does not require a Patient or a Primary Caregiver to obtain permission from the municipality to cultivate marijuana. However, some municipalities have developed Home Occupation ordinances/amendments to regulate Caregiving and patient cultivation in homes. Additionally, some municipalities have ordinances that specifically address and allow caregivers to cultivate in industrial / commercial properties.

I am submitting this e-mail because I will be unable to attend the open hearing on this matter scheduled for Monday, March 27.

I do not object to the proposed fee increases, although I do have concerns with regard to the categorization of rental dwellings and the inspection process itself.

My situation is this: I own a duplex in the city and live in one of the units. The other unit is a licensed rental. Under the fee guidelines, I am assessed the fee for a two unit dwelling. Why? I have only one rental unit. I believe I should be categorized the same as a single unit dwelling since only one unit is a rental. Assessing my property the same as a duplex which has two units which are rented strikes me as unreasonable and unfair. I request reconsideration of the fee structure so that it levies fees according to the number of dwelling spaces which are rented-- not how many could be rented.

I also have an issue with the inspectors inspecting my home. My home, the unrented side of the duplex, should not be subject to inspection as a licensed rental unit. It is not being rented! When I queried the inspector as to why my home was also being inspected, he responded that "You could rent it." Well, of course, I could seek to license it as a rental, but I haven't done so, and therefore should not be subject to inspection. If my home is subject to a rental inspection because some day I might desire to rent it, then every owner-occupied home in the city should also be inspected because the owner might some day seek to rent it.

Thank you for considering my concerns. I wish I could present them in person but scheduling conflicts prevent my attendance at the March 27 meeting.

Jon Darrow 232 N. Cooley St., Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858 989-763-8750 From: Karen Rau To: city manager Cc: Dunham, Mike Subject: FW: Notice of Public Hearing - Rental Housing Licensing Fees Date: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 4:33:57 PM

Thank you for the notice regarding an increase in rental house licensing fees. Our agency, the Central Michigan Mental Health Facilities Board, is only affected by the increase to “multi-family dwelling” and “single-family dwelling.” Although I am not opposed to an increase, I feel the increase to the single-family dwelling of 90 percent is high. The multi-family dwelling fee increased 39 percent, which seems more reasonable. If the single-family dwelling increased as the same percentage as multi-family dwelling, the fee would be $61, which seems much better than going from $44 to $84. Thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback.

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MARCH 8, 2017

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: RECEIVE RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION ON RENTAL HOUSING LICENSING RATES AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR MARCH 27, 2017 ON THE SAME

During the 2017 Operating Budget discussion, the City Commission requested additional analysis of the cost of the rental licensing processes. In November 2017 there was general agreement to have an analysis done to set the licensing fees at an amount to cover the full direct cost of licensing, as well as the appropriate overhead amount. In order to complete that analysis, staff analyzed the amount of time given to schedule, inspect and conduct appropriate follow-up on each type of rental unit.

The result of that analysis was shared during the February 27, 2017 work session. Based on the February work session it was recommended that a resolution be drafted to implement the new rates effective July 1, 2017. Due to the significant number of properties in the City that will be impacted, it was suggested that a public hearing be scheduled on the proposed rates prior to City Commission consideration.

The drafted resolution also includes a recommendation to change the late fee to $25 or 9% instead of the current fee of $10 or 9% plus the certified mailing fee.

It is recommended the City Commission set a public hearing for March 27 on the proposed rental housing licensing fees.

Recommended motion: Move to set a public hearing for March 27, 2017 for rental housing licensing fees to be implemented July 1, 2017.

At the January 9, 2017 City Commission meeting action was postponed on an ordinance to amend Sections 152.008 and 152.999 of the Code of Ordinances. The draft ordinance included some changes to provide better clarity and allowed for a penalty to either the owner or an agent of the property when an unlicensed rental is identified.

After holding the public hearing in January the City Commission seemed to be in agreement with all of the proposed changes with the exception of the penalty amounts. At the work session on February 27, 2017 general agreement was reached to reintroduce the ordinance amendment with penalty amounts of $50 for the first occurrence, $2,500 for the second occurrence or if the property owner or property manager has other units in the City; and $5,000 for the next occurrence.

Attached for reference is a redline version of the proposed changes introduced in December as well as a clean version with the new penalty amounts.

Because of the new penalty amounts, it is necessary to hold another public hearing on the proposed ordinance amendment. It is therefore recommended that a public hearing be set for March 27, 2017.

The Parks Department is intending to apply for a Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) “Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grant” for the proposed 2018 Island Park Fitness Trail & Bridge Project. As part of the grant application process the state requires applicants to hold a public hearing on their application and pass a resolution as part of the completed grant package.

The pursuit of grants continue to be a resource to help provide additional funds for park projects. Parks staff looks at upcoming projects and analyzes the best funding opportunities that exist with our best fit for our proposed projects.

All MDNR Grants carry an April 1 application Deadline and awards are announced early the following year. With these grants being awarded next year; funded projects cannot start until the following spring at the earliest. Due to this year long grant cycle staff must select applicable projects planned for the 2018 construction season and apply now to be part of the approved applicant pool.

Staff looked at upcoming projects outlined in our 2018-2022 Capital Improvement Plan for those projects with a high need and best fit for the MDNR Grant Programs. The project selected for the MNRTF Grant is the combined Island Park Fitness Trail & Vets Memorial Bridge projects proposed for 2018. A major priority for the Trust Fund Grant program is trails. Extra points are given for trail projects especially those projects which connect existing trail loops and multiple parks which are major components of the Island Park Fitness Trail & Vets Memorial Bridge Project combination. The application proposes to use the $165,000 budgeted for the Vets Memorial Bridge replacement as match for the $153,000 Fitness Trail Component for a total project cost of $318,000.

At this time all that is needed is for the City Commission to set a public hearing for their next regular meeting to meet the application requirements.

REQUESTED ACTION Staff requests that the City Commission set a public hearing for their March 27 regular meeting to gather public input on the MNRTF grant proposal as required by the MDNR.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT (ICE) GRANT APPLICATION AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND ANTI-DISPLACEMENT PLAN ON THE SAME

Attached is the communication from the March 13 City Commission packet when this matter was set for public hearing.

The second and third documents are required attachments to the application which requires City Commission endorsement. The development plan is merely a summary of the relevant portions of the Master Plan as well as some additional details related to the water tower construction. The anti-displacement and relocation plan is necessary, although not relevant to this project since no residences or dwelling units will be displaced.

After holding the public hearing it is recommended the City Commission approve all three documents.

Recommended motion: Move to approve the resolution, community development plan and anti-displacement and relocation assistance plan related to the Infrastructure Capacity Enhancement (ICE) grant application for a water tower as presented.

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation recently released guidelines for the next round of Community Development Block Grant funding for Infrastructure Capacity Enhancements (ICE) grants. Grant applications are due by April 7, 2017.

Based on a review of the guidelines and current capital projects, staff has been working on a grant application for funding for the construction of a new elevated water tower to be located at the southeast end of Mt. Pleasant. This project is in the Capital Improvement Plan and is needed to maintain appropriate pressure in the system. This new tank will also support future growth and development in the southeast section of the City.

One of the grant requirements is to hold a public hearing allowing public comment on the desire and need for project funding. It is therefore recommended the City Commission set a public hearing for March 27, 2017 on the proposed grant application.

Recommended motion: Move to set a public hearing on the (ICE) grant submission of a water tower for March 27, 2017.

Subject: Approve Resolution, Community Development Plan and Anti-Displacement Plan for Community Development Block Grant Application

Purchase\Contract Recommendation Summary

Request: The City Commission is requested to approve a resolution, Community Development Plan and Anti-Displacement Plan for inclusion in a 2017 Community Development Block Grant application.

Purpose: In February 2017, Public Works was notified of the availability of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for infrastructure capacity enhancement projects through the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. Grant funding is available for projects of $500,000 to $2M. One on the requirements for the 2017 grant is that the submitted project be part of an approved Capital Improvement Plan. Public Works is applying for a $2M grant for the construction of a new 0.5M gallon elevated water storage tank.

In 2015, a water system reliability study was performed to evaluate and update the City’s water capital plan. Historically, the south end of the City has had lower water pressure due its 70-foot higher elevation. The study recommended an additional tank be constructed to address the lower pressure issues. Therefore, this project was selected for the grant due to its high cost and projected benefit.

As part of the application process, we must include documentation that the Commission approved the resolution to request the funding, the Community Development Plan (CDP) and Anti-Displacement Plan. The CDP states the City has assessed the needs and problems of the community, and created strategies to address those needs. The CDP, which is part one of Attachment F, was previously adopted by the Commission in 2010 as part of a CDBG grant application for the Pickard-Harris Sewer Relining Project; it has not changed since then. Parts two through five list additional information that is required for the 2017 application.

The Anti-Displacement Plan states that no persons shall be displaced as part of the water tower project, and approval of such is specific for this grant application only. We are not seeking to establish a City-wide policy. If the City is awarded grant funding, the water

Page | 1 storage tank will be constructed on City-owned property in an unoccupied area near Theunissen Stadium.

Recommendation: I recommend the Commission approve the attached resolution, Community Development Plan, and Anti-Displacement Plan for inclusion in the 2017 CDBG grant application.

I. ASSESSING THE NEEDS AND PROBLEMS OF THE COMMUNITY

The City of Mt. Pleasant is primarily a residential community with service-oriented businesses. Very few industrial facilities are located within the city, and the city has a commitment to a strong, livable, walkable downtown and neighborhoods. There are a number of factors particular to Mt. Pleasant that produce a level of interest in this area that may be higher than in other communities. The first is the impact that Central Michigan University and its students have on the city’s neighborhoods and the proliferation of multiple-family and rental housing. Other factors include the age of the community and housing, enforcement activity, and similar typical of a built-up community. The city’s master plan includes a number of general goals for both neighborhood and downtown preservation and growth.

These goals include the following: • Retain the historical character of the city where possible; • Encourage and prioritize neighborhood preservation and property maintenance; • Improve street conditions and traffic controls to ensure neighborhood safety and aesthetics; • Improve neighborhood services and encourage creation of neighborhood organizations

Goals specific to downtown include the following: • Create a greater focus on historic buildings within downtown, particularly the preservation of historic structure; • Investigate methods of drawing more people to the downtown throughout the year; • Encourage public and private partnerships to improve the downtown.

Some of the strategies that have been adopted by the City of Mt. Pleasant to achieve neighborhood preservation and growth include the following: • Inform city residents of grants, programs, and incentives for low to moderate income residents, senior citizens, and other appropriate groups to repair or clean- up their homes; • Creation of Owner-Occupied Housing Incentive program that is focused on assisting homeowners purchase rental units for conversion back to single family homes; • Improve code enforcement activities throughout the city by providing additional resources for this important function; • Encourage neighborhoods associations and identify key people to lead them; • Improve street conditions and traffic control to ensure neighborhood safety and aesthetics; • Provide sidewalks and bicycle paths throughout city; • Continue to develop public facilities and infrastructure to serve the needs of city residents and visitors; ATTACHMENT F – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR .5MG ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK

• Identify neighborhoods that do not have adequate pedestrian access, and prioritize missing links for future sidewalk construction.

II. SUMMARY LIST OF POSSIBLE LONG-TERM ACTIVITIES TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND PROBLEMS

The City of Mt. Pleasant annually prepares a capital improvement plan with a goal to identify specific capital projects within a five-year period to meet community’s goals and infrastructure needs. The City’s current capital plan and operating budget covers the time period from 2016 to 2021. Projects included under the capital plan, to meet the identified needs of the community, include the following: • Elevated water tank construction to provide more water pressure and safety for residents; • Water clarifier repair to prevent future deterioration; • Resurfacing and reconstruction of major and local streets; • Deteriorated sidewalk replacement and new sidewalk construction; • Sanitary sewer reconstruction and relining to provide reliable sanitary sewer service; and • Water well rehabilitation and water distribution main replacement to maintain water services to the community.

III. SUMMARY LIST OF POSSIBLE SHORT-TERM ACTIVITIES TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND PROBLEMS

The City of Mt. Pleasant has established the following programs and policies to address the short-term activities to address identified needs and problems:

• Notifying new businesses to install pumps to supplement fire protection pressure requirements until the elevated water storage tank is built; • Looping underground pipes to allow volume and pressure to feed locations from two directions to increase water volume and pressure; and • Continuously monitoring at Water Treatment Plant to ensure existing pumps run as near peak performance as possible and rebuild or replace pumps as needed.

IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFECT THE PROPOSED CDBG PROJECT WILL HAVE ON THE COMMUNITY

Because the water towers are a principle source of water storage and pressure for the City water system, the proposed water tower will impact all of the residents and businesses within in the City. One of the primary goals of this projects is to assure a safe and adequate supply of water to all of the residents of the City at affordable rates. Currently, the State of Michigan DEQ says that the City’s water pressure is too low. A letter describing this issue is included as ‘Attachment L.' This project would provide increased safety for all residents by providing sufficient water pressure for fire protection. It would increase safety for all residents by keeping water pressure in distribution lines above the ATTACHMENT F – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR .5MG ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK

10 state standard.

CDBG funding will help to provide the needed water pressure upgrade without further increasing expenses to the many low and moderate income residents served by the system. The Mt. Pleasant Water Department functions as an enterprise fund as do most municipal water departments. This means that the only source of revenue for capital projects and operations is from the rates paid by users of the system. Without outside assistance, the money needed for this project will have to be generated by an increase in water use rates.

V. PLAN FOR MINIMIZING THE DISPLACEMENT OF PERSONS AS A RESULT OF GRANT-ASSISTED ACTIVITIES

The proposed .5MG Elevated Water Storage Tank project will not result in the displacement of any persons. ATTACHMENT K – ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN FOR .5MG ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK

Minimize Displacement

Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the City of Mt. Pleasant will take the following steps to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes: (The steps below are the actions the City will take based on local needs and priorities related to the .5MG elevated water storage tank project).

A. Evaluate housing codes and rehabilitation standards in reinvestment areas to prevent their placing undue financial burden on long-established owners or tenants of multi- family buildings.

B. Establish facilities to house persons who must be relocated temporarily during rehabilitation.

C. Adopt policies which provide reasonable protections for tenants faced with conversion to a condominium or cooperative.

D. Establish counseling centers to provide homeowners and renters with information on the assistance available to help them remain in their neighborhood in the face of revitalization pressures.

This project was reviewed for displacement effects. It was reconfirmed that no residents will be displaced or relocated as a result of the .5MG elevated water storage tank project.

Relocation Assistance to Displaced Persons

The City of Mt. Pleasant will provide relocation assistance for lower-income tenants who, in connection with the .5MG elevated water storage tank project, assisted under the CDBG Program, move permanently or move personal property from real property as a direct result of the demolition of any dwelling unit or the conversion of a lower-income dwelling unit in accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 42.350. A displaced person who is not a lower-income tenant, will be provided relocation assistance in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and implementing regulations at 49 CFR Part 24.

No residents will be displaced or relocated as a result of this project.

One-for-One Replacement of Lower-Income Dwelling Units

The City of Mt. Pleasant will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low and moderate income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low and moderate income housing in connection with any activity related to the .5MG elevated water storage tank project assisted with funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, as described in 24 CFR 570.488 (c) in Subpart I. ATTACHMENT K – ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN FOR .5MG ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK

Before entering into a contract committing the City of Mt. Pleasant to provide funds for any activity related to the .5MG elevated water storage tank project that will directly result in demolition or conversion, the City of Mt. Pleasant will make public by publication in a newspaper of general circulation and submit to Grants Administration the following information in writing:

C. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion;

D. The location on a map and the number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units. If such data are not available at the time of the general submission, the City of Mt. Pleasant will identify the general location on an area map and the approximate number of dwellings units by size and provide information identifying the specific location and number of dwelling units by size as soon as it is available;

E. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of the replacement dwelling units;

F. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low and moderate income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy;

G. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of dwelling units with smaller dwelling units (e.g. one 2-bedroom unit with two 1-bedroom units) is consistent with the housing needs of lower income households in the jurisdiction.

COMMISSION LETTER #070-17 MEETING DATE: MARCH 27, 2017

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2017

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: BIDS AND QUOTATIONS a. Overlays

This year’s street overlay project includes various locations throughout the City. As outlined by DPW Director John Zang in attached memo, the adjacent sidewalk ramps will be replaced to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In addition to the various street locations listed above, there are four alleys that were approved in 2016 for special assessment districts that would provide for the application of asphalt overlays to extend the life of the alleys.

We are recommending award of the bid to Central Asphalt for $142,771 which is adjusted for the one alley that was inadvertently left out of the bid documents.

Recommended Motion: Move to award a contract to Central Asphalt for 2016 alley and street overlay for $142,771. b. Tractor

Bids were recently received for the purchase of a tractor backhoe as part of Motor Pool’s scheduled equipment replacement. As explained in the attached memo from DPW Director John Zang, Michigan CAT was the only company to submit a bid per the City’s specifications. Staff therefore recommends award to Michigan CAT of Grand Rapids in the amount of $105,500, less trade-in amount of $18,000 for a net cost of $87,500.

Recommended Motion: Move to award the 2017 Tractor Backhoe bid to Michigan CAT in the amount of $105,500, less trade-in amount of $18,000 for a net cost of $87,500.

COMMISSION LETTER #070-17 MEETING DATE: MARCH 27, 2017 Page 2 c. Airport Farming

During 2016 the City requested bids for farming at the airport. The City Commission may recall that approval was granted to negotiate appropriate terms with one of the farmers interested in the project. After working through the details of the contract, it soon became apparent there were a number of issues relative to farming at the airport and we were not able to resolve all of the issues so no contract was executed.

Based on what was learned during the 2016 bidding process, a new set of requirements was established for the bid process for 2017. One responsive bid was received from MAK Enterprises to farm 100 acres of the airport land for hay. Staff has met with the farmer, and the Airport Advisory Board has reviewed the recommendation and supports the authorization of a contract for this farming process.

As the memo indicates, the farmer will pay the City $420 per month for the use of the land to farm hay. In addition, we have the option of contracting with the farmer to mow additional acreage at the airport at a cost of $26 per acre. The actual areas to be mowed will be determined by the Airport Manager and we anticipate that approximately 50 acres of land may be requested to be mowed at various times throughout the year.

This contract will greatly reduce the annual expenses for mowing at the airport, resulting in a positive impact to the bottom line. It is recommended the City Commission authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract as presented. This contract has been reviewed by the City Attorney.

Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the farm lease agreement with MAK Enterprises for farming at the airport.

d. Server

The attached memo from Information Technology Director/Assistant Finance Director Chris Saladine outlines the bids received for the replacement of the servers used to house the majority of the city computing systems and data. Based on a detailed evaluation of the bids submitted, the bid specifications, and the current computer network infrastructure, Mr. Saladine and the IT staff are confident that the slightly revised bid from Yeo and Yeo for two servers and the related equipment and installation is the best option. The budgeted amount for this project was $73,600 so award of the revised bid will allow COMMISSION LETTER #070-17 MEETING DATE: MARCH 27, 2017 Page 3 for the remaining budgeted amount to be used for the necessary software purchases and miscellaneous items needed to complete the entire project.

Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the award of a revised bid to Yeo and Yeo Consulting for $58,725 for two servers and components.

Purchase\Contract Recommendation Summary Request: The City Commission is requested to award the 2017 4WD Tractor Backhoe bid to Michigan CAT, of Grand Rapids, in the amount of $105,500.

Reason for Purchase: The 2017 4WD Tractor Backhoe bid is part of the scheduled equipment replacement in the Motor Pool’s Capital Replacement Plan. It will replace Unit 426, a 2002 Komatsu WB-1402N, backhoe currently used by the Street Department for snow removal in the downtown area, material handling, tree planting and removal, water main and service line work, etc. An amount of $101,000 has been budgeted to replace this unit.

From: John Zang, DPW Director

Subject: Approve Airport Farming Contract with MAK Enterprises

Purchase\Contract Recommendation Summary

Request: The Airport Advisory Board requests the City Commission approve a contract with MAK Enterprises, of Mt. Pleasant, for farming hay at the Mt. Pleasant Municipal Airport.

Reason for Purchase: In February 2017, bids were sought for farming approximately 100 tillable acres of airport property as a means to generate revenue. This area requires many hours of grass mowing by the Street Department staff during the growing season at considerable expense to the City. The designated farming areas (attachment 1) are located adjacent to both runways, east of the terminal building, and west of the T-hangars. It is to be used by the tenant exclusively for farming hay using commonly accepted and sound farmland management practices. This will eliminate the need for mowing in this area at our expense. The term of this contract will be for five years from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2022, with first right of refusal for an additional five year term.

On February 14, 2017, DPW received one bid for farming from MAK Enterprises of Mt. Pleasant. MAK will pay the City $420.00 per month to farm hay. As part of the contract, the City will pay MAK $26.00 per acre for grass mowing, reducing the need for the Street Department to do so.

At the meeting held March 9, 2017, the Airport Advisory Board approved the attached contract with MAK.

Process: Method of Purchase: MAK Enterprises Contract 1955 E. Walton Road Shepherd, MI 48883

Recommendation: It is recommended the City Commission approve a contract with MAK Enterprises for farming hay on 100 tillable acres at the airport.

After researching each of the submitted bids, none of the proposals met all of the criteria in a cost effective manner. The alternate bid from Yeo & Yeo Computer Consulting, LLC for $69,809.00 provides the best combination of current generation hardware as well as the most robust backup solution and met more of the original bid criteria. The bid had a three server cluster with SAN (storage area network that houses active data in raided array) and NAS (network attached storage that acts as primary backup if the SAN were to fail). Staff is confident two servers and a SAN with NAS are capable of providing the necessary performance over the next several years while also providing invaluable redundancy. As such, Yeo & Yeo has agreed to keep the per server price the same for two servers instead of three, SAN and NAS for a total revised bid price of $58,725. I recommend the City Commission consider approval of the revised bid from Yeo & Yeo Computer Consulting, LLC at a cost of $58,725. Funds for this purchase were allocated in the 2017 Operating Budget.

COMMISSION LETTER #071-17 MEETING DATE: MARCH 27, 2017

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2017

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF SECURITY CAMERAS

During the 2017 budget discussion, general agreement was reached to install security cameras of the exterior of the Borden Building to protect the facility and provide coverage for the parking lot areas. City staff has reviewed the layout and has had discussions with our insurance carrier and is recommending the purchase of five cameras and a digital video recorder (dvr) to hold the recordings.

The attached memo from Information Technology Director/ Assistant Finance Director Chris Saladine outlines the two quotes received for the project. It is recommended the system be purchased from CMS Internet at a cost not-to-exceed $6,820. We anticipate receiving reimbursement form the City’s insurance carrier for one-half of the cost.

As the memo indicates, additional work will be done regarding the interior of the building as well as security at the Division of Public Works building and Wastewater Treatment Plant. If it is determined additional cameras are needed, this system is expandable.

Recommended motion: Move to authorize the award of the security camera project to CMS Internet at a not-to- exceed cost of $6,820.

MEMO TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager

FROM: Chris Saladine, Information Technology Director/Assistant Finance Director

DATE: March 15, 2017

SUBJECT: City Hall Security Cameras

The City recently requested quotes for purchase and installation of a security camera system that would cover the exterior of the City Hall. The system would entail five cameras with night vision capability that would cover the parking lot and public entrance as well as a DVR that would store video for at least two weeks.

After reaching out to likely vendors, they City received two quotes:

Vendor FINAL BID CMS Internet, LLC. (Mt. Pleasant, MI) $6,820.00 Tyco Integrated Security (Grand Rapids, MI) $20,263.84

After researching each of the submitted quotes, staff is confident the solution proposed by CMS Internet, LLC is sufficient to provide video coverage of the parking lot and public entrance. This project is the first phase of addressing security concerns at City buildings. The next phase will be additional security measures at City Hall. The final step will be addressing security at DPW and the Wastewater plant. The quoted camera system is expandable and can handle additional cameras if needed for the next phases. The quote from CMS is a not to exceed quote. If labor setup costs are less than anticipated, we will be billed for the lower actual install cost. Additionally, our liability insurer has indicated the project is very likely to qualify for a grant that covers 50% of the cost up to $5,000. I recommend the City Commission consider approval of the bid from CMS Internet, LLC for $6,820.00. Funds for this purchase were allocated in the 2017 Operating Budget.

NJR/ap

Date: March 20, 2017 To: Nancy Ridley, City Manager CC: William Mrdeza, Community Services Division Director From: Michelle Sponseller, Downtown Development Director Re: Downtown Sidewalk License Policy Changes The Principal Shopping District Board (PSD) and Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) have reviewed and approved the following changes to the existing Sidewalk License Policy:

The most substantial change to the existing policy is the recommendation to split it into two separate policies – one for retailers who are interested in displaying merchandise on the sidewalk and the second for dining establishments who wish to have outdoor dining areas either on the sidewalk or the temporary conversion of parking spaces. The TIFA and PSD boards, along with staff, believe it is best to separate them as the audiences are significantly different from one another, to reduce the confusion on what portion of the policy applies to whom, and have specific visual examples applicable for each.

Below are the highlights of the changes made to both policies and those specific to the merchandise displays and outdoor dining respectively.

1. Changes made to both new policies: · Summarized the process for applications, including a timeframe for approval is included. · Renewals (with no changes or less than 3 complaints) are recommended for staff approval rather than go to city commission. Renewals with layout changes or complaints for either merchandise displays or outdoor dining will go to city commission. · General guidelines – both new policies have been completely reworked to provide a clearer expectation on what we want the displays and outdoor dining to look like to maintain an attractive downtown. · Removal of line-by-line repetition of existing code that must be followed has been streamlined to read “The owner of the business shall be responsible for compliance with all city, state and federal ordinances and codes. Questions on applicable building and fire code can be directed to the Building Official at (989) 779-5301.” · Visuals included to show best practices.

2. Highlights of the Merchandise Display Policy · Temporary parking space use is limited to three days, twice per year. · Added in an additional page of visuals – one on what we don’t want to see. · Items displayed shall be limited to merchandise sold by the business. · Merchandise and merchandise display fixtures, shall be limited to 6 feet tall and 3 feet deep – this means the merchandise and display fixtures shall be located in the area between the ground or sidewalk and 6 feet above it and protrude no more than 3 feet from building. · All merchandise and display fixtures shall be located so as to provide the pedestrian access required by the American with Disabilities Act. An unobstructed, minimum walkway width of 36” shall be maintained from the exterior border of the merchandise display to the interior edge of the curb of the adjacent street, or to any curb, ramp, or crosswalk, or to any fixed obstruction (i.e. streetlight pole, street tree, planting area, planter pot, parking meter, newspaper rack, mail box, etc.) at all times. · In no case shall the location of a merchandise display occur within an area required for vehicular traffic flow, parking or loading, or emergency vehicle access. · License of public right-of-way shall not be permitted if the proposed merchandise display area results in sight obstructions for vehicles or pedestrians or result in the obstruction of normal traffic flow. Any outdoor lighting shall be arranged in such a manner so as not to create a hazard for vehicular traffic or a nuisance to residential land uses in the area. · Umbrellas or shade structures cannot be used on public sidewalks if vertical clearance is less than 80 inches, as to cause a hazard to blind or visually impaired persons. · No merchandise display may be located adjacent to a designated handicapped parking space. · Merchandise and display fixtures shall be compatible with the character of the adjacent buildings and area. Merchandise displays utilizing card tables, cardboard cartons, plastic milk crates, plastic storage bins and containers, plywood boxes or pallets are not permitted. Freestanding mannequins and dress-forms, in good condition, are permitted. · Merchandise and display fixtures shall be of good quality, durable materials and construction, and shall be maintained in such a manner as to enhance the downtown area. Merchandise and display fixtures shall be organized and maintained in an orderly and attractive manner at all times. · Merchandise display fixtures shall not serve as extra storage space for materials that do not fit inside the store. Other than fresh or potted flowers and fresh produce, displays of bulk materials (e.g. dog food, water softener salt, potting soil, shoes, etc.) are prohibited. · Merchandise and display fixtures are to be used only during hours of operation for the associated business and shall be removed by the close of the business day. · No signs or other forms of advertising may be included as part of an outdoor display. This includes, but is not limited to “sale” signs on boards, balloons, pinwheels, paper, clothing, streamers, or merchandise affixed to the outdoor display.

3. Highlights of the Outdoor Dining Policy · Application fee is $50 for sidewalk dining or $250 per space for parking spaces for regardless of a new, renewal or temporary application. · Dining allowed on sidewalks year-round, dining areas using parking spaces are from March 15 to November 15. · ADA accessibility a. All outdoor dining shall be located so as to provide the pedestrian access required by the American with Disabilities Act. An unobstructed, walkway of 36” shall be maintained from the exterior border of the seating to the interior edge of the curb of the adjacent street, or to any curb, ramp, or crosswalk, or to any fixed obstruction (i.e. streetlight pole, street tree, planting area, planter pot, parking meter, newspaper rack, mail box, etc.) at all times. i.

GENERAL TERMS - LAYOUT, MAINTENANCE, AND HOURS OF OPERATION Outdoor dining offers a unique opportunity for cities and downtowns to improve the public realm and create spaces for pedestrians to socialize and linger. Though modest in size, outdoor dining platforms and spaces are significant in their representation of prioritizing people over automobiles. However, outdoor dining platforms and spaces could also result in a cluttered and unattractive appearance and create obstructions for pedestrians and vehicles. The following guidelines were developed to support the efforts of our downtown business community and keep it attractive and safe.

Outdoor dining is allowed in downtown (Central Business District and/or Principal Shopping District), subject to the following guidelines:

1. The owner of the business shall be responsible for compliance with all city, state and federal ordinances and codes. Questions on applicable building and fire code can be directed to the Building Official at (989) 779-5301. 2.

GENERAL TERMS - LAYOUT, MAINTENANCE, AND HOURS OF OPERATION Merchandise displays in the downtown can create an interesting shopping environment that promotes walking and supports our local businesses. However, merchandise displays can also result in a cluttered and unattractive appearance and create obstructions for pedestrians. The following guidelines were developed to support the efforts of our downtown business community and keep it attractive and safe.

Merchandise displays are allowed in downtown (Central Business District and/or Principal Shopping District), subject to the following guidelines:

1. Items displayed shall be limited to merchandise sold by the business. 2. Merchandise and display fixtures shall be located within the business’ frontage and must be placed next to the building only. 3. Merchandise and merchandise display fixtures, shall be limited to 6 feet tall and 3 feet deep – this means the merchandise and display fixtures shall be located in the area between the ground or sidewalk and 6 feet above it and protrude no more than 3 feet from building. 4. All merchandise and display fixtures shall be located so as to provide the pedestrian access required by the American with Disabilities Act. An unobstructed, minimum walkway width of 36” shall be maintained from the exterior border of the merchandise display to the interior edge of the curb of the adjacent street, or to any curb, ramp, or crosswalk, or to any fixed obstruction (i.e. streetlight pole, street tree, planting area, planter pot, parking meter, newspaper rack, mail box, etc.) at all times. 5. In no case shall the location of a merchandise display occur within an area required for vehicular traffic flow, parking or loading, or emergency vehicle access. 6. License of public right-of-way shall not be permitted if the proposed merchandise display area results in sight obstructions for vehicles or pedestrians or result in the obstruction of normal traffic flow. Any outdoor lighting shall be arranged in such a manner so as not to create a hazard for vehicular traffic or a nuisance to residential land uses in the area. 7. Umbrellas or shade structures cannot be used on public sidewalks if vertical clearance is less than 80 inches, as to cause a hazard to blind or visually impaired persons. 8. The owner of the business shall be responsible for compliance with all city, state and federal ordinances and codes. Questions on applicable building and fire code can be directed to the Building Official at (989) 779-5301.

Merchandise Display Policy and Application Procedure (2017 DRAFT) Page 7 of 7 COMMISSION LETTER #074-17 MEETING DATE: MARCH 27, 2017

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2017

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: RECEIVE RECOMMENDATION FROM PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FOR TIMBER TOWN 2.0 DONATION AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE SAME

The City Commission will likely remember the generous financial support received from the community and from grant requests for the Timber Town 2.0 project. At the end of the fundraising campaign, the additional $155,900 was raised to fund the high-design option that had been recommended by the Timber Town 2.0 Committee. The fund raising and grants also provided an additional $61,384 toward the project, above and beyond the high-design option.

As the attached memo from Director of Parks and Public Spaces Chris Bundy indicates, we committed to report back to the City Commission on the recommended use of the additional funds after discussions with donors and the Timber Town 2.0 Committee occurred. The attached memo recommends the allocation of the additional funds to cover costs based on some overages as a result of the demolition project which amounted to $20,800. The proposed enhancements to the project include $33,000 of projects including additional signage, rubberized walkways and patio area and the rehabilitation of the original wooden lodge and covered seating areas. The rubberized walkways and rehab of the lodge and seating areas will result in a reduction of annual maintenance costs of the project. The recommended use of these funds is supported by the Timber Town 2.0 Committee as well as the Parks and Recreation Commission. Therefore, it is recommended the City Commission authorize the use of $53,800 of the donated funds toward the recommended items. This will leave a contingency of just under $7,600 for the project.

Conversations are currently occurring regarding potential in-kind donations for concrete footings necessary for the project. If those donations are received for the concrete, it is recommended the savings from that piece be used to purchase and install the rock-n-raft feature as presented in the memo. The rock-n-raft would not be purchased until the in-kind donation is confirmed.

COMMISSION LETTER #074-17 MEETING DATE: MARCH 27, 2017 Page 2

Recommended motion #1: Move to authorize the allocation of $53,800 of donated funds to the proposed items for Timber Town 2.0 as presented plus a contingency of $7,600 and the related budget amendments.

Recommended motion #2: Move to authorize the purchase of a Rock-N-Raft wheelchair accessible play feature from GameTime as a sole source purchase at a not-to-exceed cost of $26,000 if additional in-kind donations are received for the project.

MEMO TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager

FROM: Chris Bundy, Director of Parks & Public Spaces

DATE: March 16, 2017

SUBJECT: Timber Town 2.0 Project

CC: Bill Mrdeza

As I last reported to the City Commission at their November 28 regular meeting the TimberTown 2.0 Committee, the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff continued to work toward successful completion of the Island Park Playscape project and had completed the following in 2016: • April – Selected Sinclair Recreation and GameTime Playground equipment for design/construction/equipment contractor. • May – Conducted Design days at local elementary schools with over 240 area children participating and developed a base design with additional desires. • July – Adjusted build date from fall 2016 to spring 2017 to allow for fundraising efforts due to enhancements requested by the public and potential donors beyond the base design. • November – Ended successful fundraising campaign which exceeded our goal.

Additionally, as planned, in December the existing 23 year old structure was removed and we took delivery of the core playground equipment for the May 2017 build.

In November I also reported the community was both generous and passionate towards this project and the committee markedly exceeded the fundraising goal receiving additional project enhancement requests from community stakeholders and donors. In an effort to keep the process moving and meet our build date deadline we recommended the purchase and delivery of equipment needed to construct the highest design proposed during the design phase. Once that original equipment had been ordered we recommended addressing the additional project enhancement requests with the City Commission at a later date.

Now that the TimberTown 2.0 Committee, the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff has had the opportunity to meet with partners/donors to review desired enhancements, four main component areas were requested beyond the current design including: 1) Saving the original wooden lodge structure and up to three of the covered seating areas updating and integrating them into the project design. The lodge update requested to reflect Anishinaabe culture in a natural flow with the rest of the surrounding play components in joint cooperation with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. 2) Enhanced signage recognizing the history of the original project. 3) Creation of additional universally accessible elements within the existing project footprint including: a. Accessible poured in place rubberized walkways b. Accessible poured in place rubberized patio play area c. Rock-N-Raft additional wheelchair accessible participation play feature

4) Permanent Story-Walk feature integrated into the existing design and footprint in joint cooperation with the Chippewa River District Library and WCMU Public Television. (see attachment for Story-Walk description)

The fundraising efforts and in-kind donations minus the landfill costs at the end of 2016 provides 2017 funds of $61,384. The attached Project Summary & Budget Chart shows requested elements above the current design. Also attached is a site plan that shows the added elements highlighted within the overall project design.

Recommendation:

Based on the input received, funds available, and desire to keep the design within the same overall project footprint the TimberTown 2.0 Committee, The Parks and Recreation Commission and staff recommends:

1) Balance of needed concrete footings and replacement sidewalks - $20,800 2) Purchase and installation of enhanced signage highlighting project history - $3,000. 3) Saving the original wooden lodge structure and up to three of the covered seating areas. Updating the lodge to reflect Anishinaabe culture in a natural flow with the rest of the surrounding play components in joint cooperation with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe - $12,000. 4) Installation of accessible poured in place rubberized walkways and patio area with sub-base $18,000. 5) Maintaining $7,584 project contingency with balance of remaining funds at project completion to go towards a TimberTown 2.0 maintenance fund. 6) At a future date work with the Chippewa River District Library and WCMU Public Television to pursue a permanent Story-Walk feature at or near Timber Town using a separate funding mechanism.

Additionally if the TimberTown 2.0 Committee is able to secure an in-kind donation for concrete listed in Item 1 above the further recommendation is to:

7) Purchase and install Rock-N-Raft additional wheelchair accessible feature - $26,000 8) Still maintain at least a $7,584 project contingency with balance of any remaining funds to go towards a Timber Town 2.0 maintenance fund.

Staff is requesting approval of a 2017 budget amendment of $61,384 allocating donated funds for completion of the above recommended items with the exception of item 6.

StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for children — and adults! — to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. LARGE size pages from children's books are laminated or developed into changeable signs and attached temporary or permanent to wooden stakes or sign bases. These book pages are then installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, or walkway you're directed to the next page in the story. This type of element when added to a playground area gives children an additional opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and read with a friend or with the help of an adult in a fun safe atmosphere. This can help many children especially those with special needs to interact with others or take some quiet time away from the playground and still be close by.

COMMISSION LETTER #075-17 MEETING DATE: MARCH 27, 2017

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2017

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION EXTENDING MORATORIUM ON NEW BROWNFIELD REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS

At the January 23, 2017 City Commission meeting, the Commission passed a resolution placing a temporary moratorium on the approval of new brownfield plans, brownfield plan amendments and related brownfield reimbursement agreements (copy attached for reference). The City Commission and Brownfield Redevelopment Authority held a joint meeting February 27 to discuss parameters for the new policy. Staff is drafting the policy to present to the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and then to the City Commission. The new policy will obviously not be completed by April 1 so the City Commission may want to consider an extension of the moratorium. A resolution has been drafted for consideration if an extension is desired. The desired extension would move the expiration date from April 1 to May 31, 2017 or when the policy is approved, whichever occurs first.

Recommended motion: Move to approve the resolution as drafted extending the temporary moratorium on new brownfields.

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF INFORMATION ON AD-HOC COMMITTEE ON MICHIGAN MEDICAL MARIHUANA FACILITIES LICENSING ACT (MMMFLA)

During the joint meeting of the Planning Commission and City Commission on March 13, it was suggested that an ad-hoc committee be initiated to further research the Michigan Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (MMMFLA) and make a recommendation to the City Commission for opting in to the act.

The attached document provides a recommendation of the composition of the ad-hoc committee, specific charge of the committee and a timeline for their work to be completed.

Based on discussions with the Mayor, it is recommended the committee be a nine person committee to make it manageable for scheduling and that the committee consult with a number of interested or impacted stakeholders before making any recommendations. The attached document outlines a number of stakeholders that should be consulted with during the process. It is also recommended the committee make some preliminary recommendations the end of July regarding the parameters of a potential ordinance. After the City Commission has endorsed the parameters, the committee would take the next step of working with City Attorney to draft an ordinance for consideration.

Assuming the City Commission endorses the attached document, the next step would be to collect names of interested individuals to serve in the City Commission, Planning Commission and City resident seats of the committee. The Mayor could make appointments for those six seats on the committee at the April 10 City Commission meeting.

Recommended motion: Approve the Ad-Hoc Committee on MMMFLA membership, charge and timeline as presented.

Background

The Mission/Pickard Downtown Development Authority (DDA) has been considering an amendment to the District's Tax Increment Financing Plan which would extend its sunset date from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2025, consistent with the Development Plan. In addition, the DDA Board also considered amendments to the Development Plan which include the installation of decorative street lighting in the corridor, maintenance of public alleys along Mission Street, and the creation of a corridor plan to guide future structural improvements in the transportation infrastructure which add value to the business nature of the district. A more complete description of these initiatives are included in the attached project list. The costs associated with the projects are estimations and will be refined over time through the annual budgeting process. No change in the 28% capture rate was contemplated in this proposed Third Amendment to the plan.

At their March 9, 2017 regular meeting, the DDA Board discussed amendments to both the Finance and Development Plans and adopted the attached resolution recommending City Commission Approval. Before the City Commission can act on an ordinance which adopts the plan amendment, it is necessary to provide adequate notice as required by state statute and hold a public hearing.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The City of Mt. Pleasant acquired almost 300 acres of land in 2011 from the State of Michigan after the closure of the Mt. Pleasant Center. Since that time, the City has spent $5.5 million demolishing Mt. Pleasant Center buildings and tunnels that were determined to have no contributing historical value by the State Historic Preservation Office, have no viable re-use and were creating an attractive nuisance. The demolition was funded primarily by City resources with assistance from state grants and one state loan.

Throughout the demolition process Tribal representatives were consulted and kept apprised of the progress. An archaeological monitor was present during the removal of some roads and parking lots as recommended by the State Historic Preservation Office and Tribal Historic Preservation Office.

Redevelopment of the City-owned land is expected to bring long-term benefit to the community including the creation of jobs and an increase of the of the City’s tax base.

The City is sensitive to the potential archaeological concerns of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe in relation to the former Mt. Pleasant Industrial Indian Boarding School (MIIBS). The City, Tribe and CMU have carried out two memorandums of understandings for archaeological field schools run by Dr. Surface-Evans at specific locations on the City-owned land. In consultation with Tribal representatives, a Discovery Plan was completed and followed during all demolition activities.

The City plans to conduct additional archaeological investigations on additional areas of the City-owned land. This request would provide partial funding toward those investigations.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

The additional investigative work would benefit the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe by either identifying areas that may need further archaeological study related to the prior MIIBS or give assurance that potential underground archaeological resources are not present. The benefit to both the City and Tribe would be to identify areas that are ready for redevelopment based on the clearance of archaeological concerns. This would allow for development if interested purchasers are identified to help attain the original goals of jobs and increased tax base. It would appropriately address any areas that may have underground archaeological significance prior to development occurring in those locations.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

Long-term funding is unknown at this point as the findings from the initial investigations will determine what, if any, additional archaeological surveys or work is recommended.

D. ITEMIZED BUDGET FOR REQUEST:

No itemized budget exists. The estimates are based on an assumption of investigation needed on one- half to two-thirds of the approximately 300 acres owned by the City.

The initial work could include a walking survey with appropriate shovel testing of the 30 acres on the southwest corner. It is expected that this work might cost $10,000. The remaining work would address the appropriate investigation of the rest of the City-owned property and could be $100,000. This request is for one-half of that estimated potential cost.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The City of Mt. Pleasant wishes to collaborate with community partners to pursue the development and launch of a community-wide brand (also known as a place brand) to make the Mt. Pleasant area more desirable to visit, call home or start a business.

Potential partners in this project include (but are not limited to):  Central Michigan University  Charter Township of Union  Isabella County  McLaren Central Michigan  Middle Michigan Development Corporation  Mt. Pleasant Area Convention & Visitor’s Bureau  Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce  Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe

The funds requested would finance the hiring of a professional branding company/firm to lead the project in order to ensure a compelling, unique and successful brand strategy is created.

There are several steps in a branding/identity campaign. The following provides a general overview of the process:

1. RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS - The first step is research. This is a crucial step in a branding campaign as its purpose is to understand the community’s internal and external stakeholders’ views of the Mt. Pleasant area. What makes the Mt. Pleasant community different from neighboring towns? Why do residents choose to make it their home? Why do people choose to visit? Involving stakeholders to answer these questions and more is key in identifying the essence of the Mt. Pleasant community lays the foundation on which to build the brand.

Involving stakeholders also creates buy-in. Those who participate are much more likely to embrace and promote the brand, which is essential to its success. A number of methods will be used to collect this information, such as surveys, focus groups, and community forums. After the research is collected, the data will be analyzed and the findings will be presented to the City branding team and the community partners.

2. STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT - A brand is much more than a name, a logo and some advertising. A community’s brand describes the emotions and experiences stakeholders have when they interact with that place.

Based on the findings of the research, the branding company/firm will help the branding team and its project partners determine what the Mt. Pleasant community’s brand represents today and what it should represent in the future. Goals and a unified vision will be developed, along with strong, key messages and words that can be embraced and conveyed by all of the community’s stakeholders.

3. CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT - With the research, values and messages defined earlier in the process, the branding company/firm will create an updated visual identity for the community. This includes a logo, tagline and guide outlining the proper use of the new visuals. The City branding team and project partners will work closely with the company/firm to review, revise and finalize the visual identity.

4. LAUNCH - A campaign will be planned and put into action to bring awareness of the brand to the Mt. Pleasant area’s internal and external stakeholders. Campaign tactics will be recommended by the branding company/firm, but may include a special event to launch the brand, advertisements and more. 3

Ongoing marketing strategies will also be created to make certain the messaging remains strong and coherent, and the community continues to adopt the brand.

Project Timeframe: 6 months - 1 year.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY, AND GOVERNMENTAL SERVICE AREAS:

For those who live, work and play in the Mt. Pleasant area, it is easy to recognize the rich culture and history that exist with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe; the active lifestyle that is encouraged with the scenic parks and miles of trails; the vitality and opportunities generated by Central Michigan University; and the countless other appealing features and offerings of the community.

Unfortunately, many of these attributes are overshadowed by common misconceptions of the area, such as “There’s nothing to do in Mt. Pleasant,” and “It’s in the middle of nowhere.”

A successful brand strategy for the Mt. Pleasant community would leverage the unique strengths of the area to provide a relevant and captivating promise to target audiences. It would be more than a logo and tagline as it would build a deeper, more emotionally shared vision that influences actions.

For the Mt. Pleasant community, a strong brand could:  Shift perceptions and eliminate negative stereotypes  Create a common vision for the future of the community  Provide a consistent representation of the area  Foster a sense of pride and satisfaction for current residents  Enhance local, regional, global awareness of the Mt. Pleasant area  Recruit and retain talent, making our community an even better place to live for the next generation  Increase tourism, bringing outside dollars to the community, and, as a result, create and sustain additional jobs  Attract new businesses, spurring economic development. (A branding/identity campaign is essentially an economic development plan for the community.)  Engages residents and business owners to have conversations about what they love about Mt. Pleasant

C. LONG-TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

The two-percent funds requested for this project will support half of the cost of hiring a professional branding company/firm to facilitate the research, strategy development, creative development and launch recommendations of the brand. The City has earmarked funds to put toward this effort, and each project partner would also be expected to fund a portion of the project.

Long-term funding will be required for the implementation of the brand. The implementation can take multiple years and may include the updating of websites and promotional materials, advertisements, events/campaigns to promote the new brand, and more.

Entities partnering in this project will be responsible for financing the implementation as it relates to their respective organizations. For example, if the City of Mt. Pleasant chooses to overhaul its website to reflect the new brand, the City would fund that effort. It’s difficult to estimate the costs of these updates because the implementation will be ongoing and will vary by entity.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

This proposal is for the construction of a year-round outdoor multipurpose community amphitheater in Island Park. The amphitheater proposal was initially presented to The City by Mt. Pleasant High School student Taylor Idema as part of United Way sponsored “Pitch-Er This” competition which challenged students within Isabella County to develop a proposal for a project that would benefit their community. Taylor’s proposal won over six other projects presented to a panel of community judges. As the winning idea Ms. Idema won $5,000 toward implementation of her idea which the City matched with the Park Partnership Fund. The City Commission also endorsed City staff to facilitate additional fundraising and grant opportunities working with Ms. Idema and her mentors to help make the project a reality.

The amphitheater project seeks to address the current lack of community outdoor staging area for fine arts and events in the area. This project will have a major impact on the community in that it will provide a venue for local citizens of all ages to perform, participate in, and enjoy a myriad of events while staying close to home. The project design will be finalized in early 2017 and the total project funds are expected to be raised by December 2017. Construction of the amphitheater will begin in the summer of 2018. Here is a list of possible year-round uses for a community amphitheater which includes, but is not limited to: • Outdoor Music Performances (professional/university/k-12school/clubs) • Outdoor Theatre (professional/university/k-12 schools/ clubs) • Outdoor Dance Performances (professional/university/k-12 school/clubs) • Outdoor Cultural Events • Ceremonies (i.e. Veterans Day, scouting, small graduations • Art Displays (i.e. Art Reach, art shows, craft shows) • Public Speeches (MLK day, mayoral address, clubs, contests) • Holiday Events (Easter Bunny, Santa Claus) • Holiday Displays • Religious Services • Children’s Programming (i.e. magic shows/puppet shows) • Outdoor Movies • Auctions • Farmers Market • Starting point for walks/runs • Winter Festivals (Ice sculpture contest, snowman contest, sled obstacle course) • Weddings • Historical Reenactments • Public Nature Talks

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

Community members of all ages, talents, interests, and abilities would benefit from this facility. The amphitheater will give community members a year round outdoor multipurpose staging area for residents and entertainers to gather for events and activities and to showcase their talents to the community. The amphitheater could also serve as an additional venue to enhance and expand the offerings of local festivals and events (e.g. Art Walk, concert series, pow-wow, festivals, fundraisers, etc.). Having events at the amphitheater will also encourage community members to stay local who might otherwise travel to larger cities for such quality events (i.e. Midland, East Lansing, Ann Arbor). 2 The amphitheater would help make Island Park a destination park for the mid-Michigan region. The amphitheater will be open to all, making it very accessible from the youngest in the community the oldest. It will be a community gathering place for generations to come where residents can have fun, experience cultural events, learn new skills, and enjoy the arts.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

If all funds are raised to build the Community Amphitheater, the City will provide ongoing maintenance funds for upkeep. With proper maintenance the project is anticipated to serve the community for generations to come.

D. ITEMIZED BUDGET FOR REQUEST:

The total project budget goal is $150,000 with $10,000 already raised including $5,000 from the United Way “PitchEr This” competition, matched by the City’s $5,000 Park Partnership Program funds. It is hoped that the remaining balance of the projects will come from many community donors including (community partners, private donators, local business, civic groups, state and matching grants) all combining to make the amphitheater a reality.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The PEAK program stands for Partners Empowering All Kids and is a partnership between the City of Mt. Pleasant, Mt. Pleasant Public Schools and Isabella County United Way of Gratiot and Isabella Counties. PEAK has worked collaboratively with the United Way of Gratiot and Isabella Counties on multiple special events. Events such as PEAK’s Super Summer Showcase is preceded by a “penny war” that the program uses to raise funds for United Way in order to teach children about community service and helping those in need. In addition, the PEAK program holds an annual community service day – held in partnership with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe’s and Central Michigan University’s Office of Native American Programs – that brings children, families and the community together in order to provide food and other household necessities for those in need in the Mt. Pleasant community. The PEAK program has put a renewed focus on enrichment opportunities through collaborative efforts, unique community partnerships and the importance and understanding of cultural diversity. PEAK is entering its 18th year of operation and has become a staple for children’s services that the community and school system relies on to keep area children safe, educated and enriched.

The PEAK After-School program operates at all five Mount Pleasant Public School elementary schools (Fancher, Ganiard, McGuire, Pullen, Vowles) and West Intermediate every school day for two hours – serving area children grades K-8. The PEAK Summer Camp program operates for 8-10 weeks during the summer at Mount Pleasant elementary schools and West Intermediate from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Historically, PEAK has submitted separate 2% applications for the elementary school age group (grades k-6) and the middle school age group (grades 7-8). However, after extensive program evaluation in 2015, these groups have been combined in order to provide consistency and commonality across the PEAK program. This restructuring will provide the program with more financial and procedural oversight that will create more consistent programming and operation from top to bottom.

PEAK provides mentorship and enrichment programming for up to 200 elementary school students every day after school and for over 300 students daily during PEAK Summer Camp through educational, recreational, physical and social-based programming in collaboration with Mt. Pleasant Discovery Museum, Central Michigan University’s recreational, educational and athletics programs, John Ball Zoo, The Jump Station, Therapy Dogs International and many other area businesses and organizations. We are currently working with CMU’s Office of Native American Programs and the Niijkewehn Mentoring Program on a number of projects where we will continue to collaborate and work together for a stronger community through cultural understanding and inclusion. We have also been successful in implementing Native American cultural programming into our after-school curriculum though SCIT music and arts presentations and teachings. The goal of this programming is to increase cultural awareness of the community’s Native American population. An increased focus has also been put on MPPS involvement from principals, teachers and other administrative staff in areas of hiring, program development and expectations in order to lay a foundation for continued program growth and strength.

In addition to the general education students, PEAK also staffs Special Needs Assistants at each site in order to provide the same high-quality programming for students with educational, emotional and physical disabilities. It’s very important to the program and to the community that we are able to meet the needs of every child, regardless of their limitations. Inclusivity of all children is a major component of the PEAK program. 2

The PEAK staff consists of 45 highly-qualified individuals, most of which are CMU students majoring in general education, special education, recreation and other related fields. Another major component of the PEAK program is not simply to have staff, but to have qualified and trained staff who are capable of providing the children in the program with the care they need and deserve. In order to achieve this high-level of training and qualified staff, PEAK partners with the Children and Family Enrichment Child Advocacy Center of Isabella County, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and other agencies to achieve the highest level of training possible.

One of the goals of the PEAK program is to ensure that every child is able to participate, regardless of their ability to pay. Scholarship assistance is available to ensure that every child has the opportunity to participate in the program and enjoy all the benefits – regardless of their ability to pay.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

While there are literally thousands of studies and statistics to support the long-term benefits of quality after-school and summer programming for children, the simple answer to why PEAK is so important is that there is a great number of area children who simply do not have a place to go after school. For those who do have a place to go, many times that place is not safe and/or conducive to educational, physical and social growth. PEAK is able to provide students of all walks of life and backgrounds the opportunity to grow in ways that will set them up for future success by means of quality programming, positive role models and a safe and enriching environment. Quite simply, without the PEAK program, hundreds of children would have no place to go after school and could be put in dangerous positions and situations that would compromise their safety and the safety of others. PEAK provides the program participants, their parents and the community as a whole with a sense of security, knowing that their children are well cared for in an environment that will help develop good educational and social habits to ensure future growth and success.

In addition to the school day and summer camp curriculum, PEAK also puts a strong focus on teaching children the importance of community and of giving back. Each summer, special events such as Community Service Day, Super Summer Showcase and the Penny War highlight the relationship with United Way and the community by having children generate monetary funds and thousands of food items and school supplies that they then give back to those who are in need. We feel that this is a benefit to the children by teaching to them the importance of giving back to those in need, while meeting critical needs in the community.

The increased focus on MPPS involvement will also help ensure that the PEAK program serves as an extension of what teachers are trying to accomplish during the school day. Consistent communication with teachers and parents of the children enrolled in the PEAK program allows PEAK to put a focus on and meet the most challenging aspects of the school curriculum. PEAK offers one-on-one tutoring and homework help that can be targeted to specific areas of the school day that children find most challenging. Through the relationship with CMU, PEAK hires CMU students in education, recreation and other related fields so that they can gain real-life experience to better prepare them for both their professional and personal life after graduation.

The PEAK program has been working very hard with members and organizations of the Tribe on implementing Native American cultural components into our after-school programming. We aim to increase cultural awareness and understanding of our local cultures in order to create more accepting, 3 understanding and culturally-educated students. Cultural diversity is a part of the Mt. Pleasant community that we are blessed to have and we feel this should be celebrated by working directly with the Tribe and their affiliated organizations to create fun, engaging and culturally enriching opportunities for both the Tribe and our PEAK students.

We are currently working with the Niijkewehn Mentoring Program and hoping to team up with them to bring more cultural awareness and experiences to PEAK. Our goal is to work collaboratively with Niijikewehn once a month at Mary McGuire Elementary School. This will be a time where children in the PEAK program can work alongside children in the Niijkewehn mentoring program and learn more about the history and culture of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, while creating a sense of unity and building new friendships.

In addition, we are planning a field trip to the Ziibiwing Center for our PEAK Summer Camp sites. We are looking forward to experiencing the bbaamoseg gitiganing (all will walk about the plants that grow) exhibit and learning about plants used traditionally by the Anishinabe people. Through these experiences we hope increase the knowledge of the youth of our city and expose them to different cultural components and opportunities that currently exist in our shared community. If awarded, a portion of this grant will be used in order for us to attend this field trip and others like it.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

The 21st Century Grant that was awarded in 2000 only covered the first five years of operation. Since then, the program has relied heavily on funding from outside sources in order to keep program fees low, without having to sacrifice the quality of care being offered to local school children. The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe has been instrumental in allowing this program to exist in a manner that allows children of all economic and social backgrounds to participate – regardless of their ability to pay.

Historically, one-half of the PEAK program budget came in the form of Tribal 2% funds. Tribal support is extremely important to the overall quality and long-term health of the PEAK program and all the children and families it serves and over time, efforts have been made to control expenses program-wide. The remaining PEAK budget is made up of program fees and support from entities such as United Way have provided the remaining funding needs. Program fees are kept at a minimum and are based on family income and a family’s ability to pay. Over $60,000 is made available annually in form of scholarship assistance to ensure that every child is able to participate in PEAK – regardless of their ability to pay.

It has been the goal of PEAK to increase the amount of revenue generated from the PEAK K-8 program through fees, fundraising and other available grants while decreasing the portion requested form the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. Without the continued support of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe through 2% allocations, the PEAK program would need to undergo a comprehensive evaluation in order to determine if this is a program that is economically feasible. Therefore, the PEAK program is requesting approximately 30 percent of the total funds needed to continue to provide the K-8 grade PEAK program to children and families in the community as it currently exists.

Specific to this application, a seven (7) person "street team" (BAYANET-North Team) specializes in major crimes and narcotics investigations within Clare, Gladwin and Isabella counties. This team is dedicated to the specific purpose of addressing those individuals who would take advantage of the financial opportunities within tribal lands. The sale and distribution of illicit drugs continues to impact the family structure, financial status, and overall social structure of the Native Americans who are preyed upon by this specialized criminal element. It is imperative that we recognize the motivation for drug dealers is nothing more than mere greed. With that understanding, we can aggressively investigate and mitigate the opportunity for financial gain.

BAYANET Detectives are a continued valuable resource for Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police when investigating all narcotics investigations along with major crimes, such as; armed robbery, physical and sexual assaults, home invasions, and homicide. Narcotics dealers from Saginaw, Flint and Grand Rapids continue to recognize the economic impact that tribal monies play into the distribution of narcotics throughout BAYANET's area of responsibility, believed to be a contributing factor leading to the significant rise in heroin investigations.

In 2016, Detectives investigated a high level of heroin cases as the State of Michigan continues to see a rise in heroin abuse. Preliminary Data collected statewide through November of 2016 indicates that heroin seizures are up 2% and narcan incidents have increased 6% from the same reporting period in 2015. A key statistic is the 27% increase in narcan incidents from July to September of 2016. Investigations done by Detectives continue to focus on the source of the heroin, not the user. In 2016 BAYANET formed a heroin response protocol to assist and work with local agencies when investigating heroin overdoses. Detectives are responding directly to the scenes, collecting information, and furthering the investigations. This has resulted in successful prosecution of individuals from source cities that supply heroin to Isabella County.

Methamphetamine abuse continues to strain resources from local agencies and the communities they serve. In 2015, BAYANET responded to 64 meth incidents, compared to 28 the previous year- it was a 128% increase. Of those in 2015, 35 were laboratories, 21 were dump sites and the remaining 8 were assists to other agencies. In 2016, BAYANET has responded to 41 meth incidents, 32 were laboratories, 12 assists to other agencies and 4 dump sites. Ongoing investigations verified to BAYANET and other law enforcement agencies, indicated that the distribution of illegal narcotics into the Isabella County region stretches far beyond Michigan's borders.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

BAYANET currently has investigations reaching throughout the State of Michigan, and beyond. These investigations, specifically address the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe and surrounding communities. The benefit of a team dedicated primarily to the tribal lands is significant. In 2016 from January to December, 85% of complaints investigated by BAYANET-North Team and 84% of arrests made by BAYANET officers, in Isabella County, were on the Tribal Reservation lands.

This grant provides for us the ability to maintain an office in the Mt. Pleasant community, which keeps the law enforcement resources here and local. The Michigan State Police (MSP) provides a Detective Lieutenant and Detective Sergeant as supervisors to this team. MSP has also assigned a Detective Trooper to BAYANET - North Team from the Mt. Pleasant Post. MSP pays 100% for the wages/benefits and vehicles for the supervisors and trooper. In addition to this, MSP provides the computers, IT support, police radios, user's fees and additional support staff for property management and administrative processes. This is a $548,076 value and is provided at no additional cost.

(Note: In 2016 MSP assigned an Intelligence Analyst to BAYANET to focus specifically on heroin investigations. This is an added value of $120,000 provided at no additional cost, making the total value of assets provided by MSP at over $668,000.)

In conjunction with criminal investigations, BAYANET officers have continually advocated the benefits of education when it comes to deterring citizens from controlled substance use. We have actively pursued opportunities and prepared informational presentations in order to assist potential victims in making the right choice when confronted with a dilemma involving illicit drugs as well as the new Designer Drugs. In 2016 from January to December, the BAYANET North Team has presented drug education and awareness information to over 254 people in Clare and Isabella Counties. These presentations have focused on Opiate (Heroin, Fentanyl, Carfentanyl) and methamphetamine awareness. Many of these classes have been presented to members of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe.

Activity for North Team from January- December 2016 Tribal Land:

Complaints investigated in Isabella County 102

Complaints investigated on Tribal Lands 87

Total Percentage of time spent on Tribal Land 85%

Total Arrests in Isabella County 85

Arrests on Tribal Lands 71

Total Percentage of Arrests on Tribal Land 84%

Total Percentage of Arrest Counts on Tribal 82% Land

Street Value of Drugs Seized in 2016: BAYANET as a whole seized a street value of $2,955,585.28 in illegal narcotics for 2016.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

The investigations conducted by and the social problems addressed by BAYANET are not ending. With the neutralization of one criminal enterprise, comes the opportunity for alternative criminal enterprises to continue the attack on those weakened by their dependence on controlled substances. Although culmination of a long-term investigation provides disruption to these individuals and the accompanying source for illicit narcotics, it is the constant and unrelenting pressure from covert operations that keep these individuals from setting up permanent business.

While the financial obligations of these operations are at times augmented by forfeiture, long-term funding sources are a necessity. (Note: in recent years close to $600,000 in forfeiture money has been used to offset North Team cost.)

As forfeiture seizures drop and expenses increase, we have had to make adjustments to our operations and ask our partnering agencies to pick up additional costs. They too understand the value of BAYANET, the vital partnership that the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe provides with the generous gift of 2% money and they (Central Michigan University Police Department, Clare County Sheriff Department, Isabella County Sheriff Department, and Mt. Pleasant City Police Department) continue to dedicate funding and human resources to BAYANET. The partnership of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe, local law enforcement partners and the MSP is truly a value added service to this community.

Value of 2% Grant: The 2% grant is the starting point for the true value of the BAYANET/Saginaw Chippewa Tribe partnership. Along with the receivership of the 2% grant, MSP commits another $548,076 in resources for vehicles, computers and personnel. Central Michigan University Police Department, Clare County Sheriff Department, Isabella County Sheriff Department, and Mt. Pleasant City Police Department commit personnel to the team - a value of well over $325,000.

This grant continues to return over one million dollars in benefit to the local area. This would not be possible without the generous 2% gift provided by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe.

PLEASE SEE PAGE TWO FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Youth and Community Services Unit is a collaborative effort of police, schools, parents, business and community members working together to positively impact our youth and their environment. Police officers with the Youth and Community Services Unit are involved with our kids at an early age establishing relationships and continuing those throughout their school years, interacting with kids in an encouraging manner and providing guidance and support when needed. Members of the unit serve as positive role models through leadership, education, guidance and intervention. Officers are involved in school and community events ensuring high visibility and being approachable to citizens as well as guests.

The officers serve as a liaison between Mt. Pleasant Public Schools, businesses, private organizations, law enforcement agencies, Juvenile/Probate Court, Adult and Tribal Courts, prosecutors, media, Community Mental Health (CMH), Department of Human Services (DHS), Partners Empowering All Kids (PEAK) and Central Michigan University (CMU).

Officers work with the school staff and Native American Advocates to mentor, coach and educate students on various topics, including internet safety, bullying, school violence, problem solving, and tobacco, drug and alcohol abuse. Youth and Community Services officers work in conjunction with residents, apartment managers and neighborhood groups to reduce and prevent crime in their neighborhoods and apartment complexes. They coordinate efforts with Code Enforcement and the Fire Department through the Neighborhood Resource Unit (NRU) to eliminate code violations and blight in our neighborhoods providing a safer and cleaner community.

Funding requested is crucial for this unit to deliver a high level of service. In order to design, conduct and participate in events that benefit our kids and community and stave off further cuts, Two-Percent funding is needed. Two-Percent funding would allow us to keep officers in the schools, at after school functions, be present at community events and neighborhood meetings, while also being proactive in reducing, preventing and responding to crime.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

The primary focus is on our youth, participating in their lives as both professionals and mentors to enhance their ability to learn, enjoy life and thrive as members of our community. The majority of our student contact is through the Mt. Pleasant Schools which serves approximately 4,367 students the latest count indicates 483 are Native American students. The Youth and Community Services Unit further strives in making our community a safe, clean and inviting environment for all who live, work and visit. The Youth and Community Services Unit will continue to lead and participate in programs which benefit not only our children, but our entire community.

Studies have shown the most effective deterrent to school violence is a police presence in schools. For this reason, amongst others it is important that we keep this resource available. A consistent police presence will help achieve a safe learning environment while students attend class. More time spent with the students strengthens our relationships and builds trust and confidence with each other.

Supplies and training are needed for our day to day activities, this information, whether it is in the form of a handout, presentation or counseling is passed along to students, faculty and parents. Crossing guards are required at certain intersections near our elementary schools. They help ensure the safety of our young children crossing streets when arriving and leaving school.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

There are ongoing funding requirements for the program. The entire unit is comprised of three police officers, as well as having crossing guards at most schools. The City’s General Fund covers one-half of the total cost of the unit. The remaining half of the program is currently funded through Tribal Two-Percent funds and donations. The Youth and Community Services Unit has partnered with the Mt. Pleasant Public Schools to seek funding from various sources.

Mt. Pleasant Municipal Airport

Project Supervisor: Bill Brickner, Airport Manager

Project Name: Airport Operations Support

Amount Requested: $40,000

Signature: ______Date:______

NOTE: If your project includes multiple organization participation and funding sources, a Memorandum of Understanding, signed by each board representative, must be attached to the application.

PLEASE SEE PAGE TWO FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

This funding request is to provide funds to support the basic operation of the airport for the next year. Due to economic climate in Michigan, airport traffic has declined, but costs to operate the airport at current service levels have not. The airport continues to spend $150,000 per year in capital improvement from federal and state funds, but the operations budget is underfunded.

In order to provide the necessary funds for the basic operation of the Mt. Pleasant Municipal Airport, the City has had to contribute $40,000 - $80,000 per year from the General Fund. The subsidy is increasing due to a decline in revenue from T-Hanger rentals and reductions in fuel sales. Because of State revenue sharing reductions and increased cost pressures, the City continues to face a budget challenge such that the increasing needs of the airport compete with other City services.

The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe has provided funding for airport operations on a regular basis. Without ongoing funding from Tribal 2% allocations, the service levels at the airport could not be maintained.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

The airport is an economic driver for economic development and business growth. The Mt. Pleasant Airport is a major gateway to the Tribal community’s casino and resort operations. Many entertainers appreciate the convenience and service that they experience at the airport when coming to perform at the resort. The additional funding from the Tribe would remove a portion of the operational subsidy from being dependent on the city’s general fund. If the basic funding of the airport is cut, then the ability to provide essential services to the Tribal community’s visitors and business associates will have to be reduced.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

Exploring partnerships to share costs, oversite and management with potential partners including the Count, Townships, CMU, and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe.

Project Name: Alley Storm Water Improvement Initiative-Phase II

Amount Requested: $100,000

Signature: ______Date:______

NOTE: If your project includes multiple organization participation and funding sources, a Memorandum of Understanding, signed by each board representative, must be attached to the application.

PLEASE SEE PAGE TWO FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

In 2016, the City’s Engineering Department completed an evaluation of all of the alleys within the city. This evaluation was based upon the maintenance required to maintain a quality driving surface. Of the total number of alleys, 9.9 miles are gravel, which contributes to storm water pollution runoff, including sediment, vehicle oil and fluids, etc. Storm water from streets, alleys, and driveways flow into the City’s storm sewer drains, which empty directly into the Chippewa River. Through the Alley Storm Water Improvement Initiative, the City proposes to retrofit 54 gravel alley approaches with concrete material. Paving the approaches will improve the quality of storm water runoff into the Chippewa River by reducing sediment and other pollutants from entering surface waters. The paved approaches will also reduce the annual maintenance requirements by City crews, such as grading and re-graveling of the alleys.

Currently, the City does not have funding available for this project, as the alleys are not part of the street system and no Federal or State funding is available to maintain them. The cost for each paved approach is $4,500, and the total cost of the project is $243,000. The entire project is likely to take several years to complete unless additional funding can be secured. A prior 2% contribution will allow us to complete 11 approaches this year. An additional 2% grant of $100,000 for Phase Ii will allow us to complete another 22 approaches, and complete about 80% of the project.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

The aesthetic appearance of the alley entrances and surrounding neighborhoods will be improved. The entire community will benefit from the reduction in the amount of sediment and pollutants discharged into the Chippewa River, which will help protect and sustain the river’s vitality.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

PLEASE SEE PAGE TWO FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Several years ago, the City’s Engineering Department completed an evaluation of all of the streets within the city limits. This evaluation was based upon the maintenance needed to restore the streets to a good quality surface. Many streets need preventative maintenance to improve their condition and prevent further deterioration. If the streets are left unattended, they will eventually need to be reconstructed. For every mile of street that must be reconstructed, nearly nine miles can be overlaid for the same cost. With a 2% contribution by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, one additional mile of street can be resurfaced, and streets that are scheduled to be resurfaced in 2018 and 2019 can be completed in 2017.

In addition, the Americans with Disabilities Act requires that sidewalk ramps be made compliant any time the adjacent street is rebuilt or modified. This requirement means additional monies are required to complete the project.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

The Tribal community and community at large will benefit from improved street conditions. Safety will be improved with the elimination of potholes and sections that hold water. The aesthetic appearance of the City will also improve as the street conditions improve.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

There are no long-term funding requirements applicable.

D. ITEMIZED BUDGET FOR REQUEST:

The City plans to allocate approximately $377,000 over the next two years for street resurfacing and sidewalk ramp replacement. A 2% Tribal contribution would allow additional streets to be resurfaced earlier than scheduled. Please see the attached bid tab for the 2016 Street Overlay Project.

Amount Requested: $60,000

Signature: ______Date:______

NOTE: If your project includes multiple organization participation and funding sources, a Memorandum of Understanding, signed by each board representative, must be attached to the application.

PLEASE SEE PAGE TWO FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The scope of this project includes the installation of decorative pedestrian lights in residential neighborhoods in the City to provide illumination of the public sidewalks. In 2017, lighting will be installed on West Broadway Street from the bridge near Nelson Park west to Harris Street. In future years, we would continue the lighting west to Bradley Street. Two percent funding will allow for installation past Harris Street in 2017. The total cost of the project is $120,000.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

The project will benefit the entire community by providing illuminated walkways and increasing nighttime safety in city neighborhoods. Dark areas along the sidewalk can be a result of the lack of lighting, trees, buildings, etc. Vision is negatively affected when walking, biking, or driving in areas that are dark, then lighted and then dark again. Driver’s vision is negatively impacted by the dark spots because they are unable to see potential side hazards or pedestrian crossing areas. With the installation of additional lighting along Broadway Street, pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers will benefit by travelling through a continuously lighted area. Residents and visitors alike will have a safe, comfortable pathway in which to travel to housing, local businesses, shops and community events.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

There will be additional installation, maintenance and operational costs as lighting is added to more neighborhood blocks in the future. The City budget will cover the maintenance costs.

D. ITEMIZED BUDGET FOR REQUEST:

We are requesting $60,000 to assist with the installation of decorative LED pedestrian lights on Broadway Street from the bridge west to Adams Street.

Project Name: School Crossing Flashing LED, Solar-Powered Signs

Amount Requested: $37,440

Signature: ______Date:______

NOTE: If your project includes multiple organization participation and funding sources, a Memorandum of Understanding, signed by each board representative, must be attached to the application.

PLEASE SEE PAGE TWO FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The scope of this project includes upgrading the school crossing signs in advance of each crossing guard location in the City of Mt. Pleasant, one for each direction of travel. The current signage is not lighted. The upgraded signs would be flashing LED, edge-lit, solar-powered school crossing signs. There are eight crossing guard locations, for a total of 16 signs. An example of the proposed sign is pictured below.

In the fall of 2016, a crossing guard was hit and injured by a distracted driver on the corner of Michigan and Franklin near Sacred Heart Academy. Since the time of the accident, all of the school crossing guards have received improved hand-held signs and additional safety training. At the recommendation of the City’s Traffic Control Committee, along with staff and parents from Sacred Heart Academy, the City Commission approved $19,000 in city lighting funds to improve the street lighting at all eight school crossing intersections. The improvements include upgrading the existing lights to LED and adding lights as needed. This work will be completed in the spring of 2017. This project would provide an additional level of safety to alert drivers of pedestrians crossing during school drop-off and pick-up times.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

The project will benefit the entire community by providing additional safety for pedestrians crossing the streets at school zones. The lights would be timed to operate during school drop-off and pickup times to alert drivers of the crossing guard and pedestrians. The proposed lights are LED and solar-powered, providing a sustainable technology with a savings in energy costs to traditional flashing signs.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

There will be future maintenance costs on the signs that would be paid for by the City.

D. ITEMIZED BUDGET FOR REQUEST:

Per the attached quote, the cost for each sign is $2,190. The cost for each sign post is $50. The signs would be installed by City staff at a cost of $100 per sign. The total cost for each sign is $2,340; 16 signs would cost $37,440.

NOTE: If your project includes multiple organization participation and funding sources, a Memorandum of Understanding, signed by each board representative, must be attached to the application.

PLEASE SEE PAGE TWO FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

There are approximately 80 miles of sidewalk within the city limits. Of this total, 24 miles of sidewalk require replacement. In addition, the sidewalk ramps in various locations should be upgraded to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Many of the older ramps do not have raised plates. The plates are warning devices so that the visually impaired will know they are close to traffic.

The amount of sidewalk that needs to be replaced far exceeds the City's sidewalk budget for any given year. A 2% Tribal contribution of $50,000 will allow us to replace an additional half mile of sidewalk this year.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

Replacing the sidewalk when needed helps to keep the traveled areas free of trip and fall hazards. It also benefits the greater community as a whole, including the Tribal community, by providing a safe access pathway to area retailers, schools, churches, and parks. Having attractive, easily accessible public spaces within the community is a key component to encourage and increase pedestrian traffic. The health benefits derived from a walking program are well documented.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

None

D. ITEMIZED BUDGET FOR REQUEST:

A budget amount of $50,000 is requested to replace sidewalks this year. Please see the attached 2015 Sidewalk Replacement bid results.

PLEASE SEE PAGE TWO FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The City of Mt. Pleasant’s Street Department plants approximately 100 trees each year throughout the City in an effort to establish a diverse population of street trees. This diversification is necessary to establish a healthy tree canopy so that a single species is not lost due to diseases and pests. Over the last two years, we have had to remove over 400 dead or dying trees due to disease or pest infestation, storm damage, or age. Past Tribal 2% funding has allowed us to increase the number of replacement trees purchased and planted. This year’s spring tree bid exceeded the amount budgeted, and additional funds were allocated to the program. This request for funding would allow the City to purchase additional trees to make further progress on replacing the ones previously removed.

B. PROJECT BENEFITS TO THE TRIBE, COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AREAS:

The entire Mt. Pleasant community will benefit from tree planting in a number of ways. First, planting trees and maintaining a healthy canopy enhance the aesthetic appeal of our streets, parks, and neighborhoods. Planting different varieties will help to ensure the community has a well-diversified tree inventory that future generations may enjoy for years to come. The aesthetic appearance of the community will improve as more diseased and dying trees are removed and new trees are planted. Healthy trees prevent erosion, thereby reducing the amount of sand and other, potentially harmful, substances from washing into the storm sewer system and carried to the Chippewa River. Trees also help cool the streets by providing shade, and reduce the amount of UV-B exposure for children by providing a protective canopy for outdoor activities.

C. LONG TERM FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND HOW THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET:

Long-term funding needs consist of routine maintenance (pruning, fertilization, watering, etc.). Funding for tree maintenance is budgeted annually and included in the Street Department budget.

D. ITEMIZED BUDGET FOR REQUEST:

Please see the attached bid results for the 2017 Spring Tree bid.
