Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting November 7, 2019
I. Chair Hoenig called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Present: Dailey, Friedrich, Hoenig, Horgan, Irwin, Liesch, Ortman, Rise. Absent: Kostrzewa.
Staff: Kain, Murphy
II. Approval of Agenda:
Motion by Liesch, support by Rise, to approve the agenda.
Motion approved unanimously.
III. Approval of Minutes
A. October 3, 2019
Motion by Friedrich, support by Ortman, to approve the minutes from the October 3, 2019 regular meeting.
Motion approved unanimously.
IV. Zoning Board of Appeals Report for October:
Commissioner Friedrich reported that the Zoning Board heard one case in October submitted by Roxanne & Justin Fleer at 416 S. Fancher. The request was for a variance from Section 154.405A to reconstruct a shared driveway on a parcel that exceeds the maximum allowable 55% of impervious surface. Commissioner Friedrich explained that the reconstruction of the driveway would reduce the amount of non-conformity from 60% to 57% (but would still be above the allowable 55%). He further noted the request would help alleviate water drainage problems at both the subject property and the neighbor’s property. In addition, the driveway, after reconstruction, would be wide enough for two vehicles where currently anyone parked at the end of the driveway blocks other vehicles from getting around them. This will be made possible by the widening of the driveway being mostly on the neighbor’s property which would still be below the threshold for impervious surface. Due to the unique topography of this site and the fact that a non-conformity is being reduced, the Board voted unanimously to approve the variance.
V. Communications:
Kain reported that communications were received from Doug LaBelle II and Brandon LaBelle, which were included in the packet. Two additional communications were received following packet distribution which have been placed on the dais. These communications included additional correspondence from Doug LaBelle II and one from the Home Builders Association that was addressed to the City Commission.

bam Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission Minutes of Work Session November 7, 2019
Present: Dailey, Friedrich, Hoenig, Horgan, Irwin, Liesch, Ortman, Rise.
Absent: Kostrzewa.
Staff: Kain, Murphy
A: Two-Family Dwelling Standards
Kain reviewed the regulatory history for two-family dwellings in the City. Kain provided information on the number of existing units, the year built or converted, information regarding regulations in surrounding communities, and information on the approval history from the year 2000 through present.
Following the discussion that ensued, the consensus was to leave the current standards in place.
B. Permitted and Special Uses
The Board reviewed the current use table, paying special attention to the Special Regulated Uses. Discussion ensued on the reasoning behind certain uses being categorized as such. Following discussion, consensus was that based on the small number of requests received, there would be no benefit in making changes at this time. Kain suggested that the Commission review the Use Table and bring any questions or recommendations forward to him.
C. Master Plan
Kain reminded the Board that he needs comments back by November 15th on the 70% plan so he can get comments back to the consultant. There were questions on whether there would be additional opportunities for public input.
He noted that the purpose of the 70% plan is to get feedback from the Planning Commission and City Commission. He explained that once we receive the next draft the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Commission to release the plan for public comment. The public comment period will last for 63 days and there will be a minimum of three public hearings.
Discussion ensued on the Master Plan being a visionary document which is meant to offer guidance and a long-term vision that policy makers can utilize over several years and decades to implement policy and development. It was also noted that the consultant relied heavily on the public input when they developed the plan and there was a diverse group of people who showed up to those sessions.
Kain noted that it is ultimately the responsibility of the Planning Commission and City Commission to determine if the plan sets an appropriate vision for the future of the community.
Motion by Dailey, support by Liesch to adjourn.
Work session adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

Thank you Nancy for the reply. I do agree that Mount Pleasant needs fairly restrictive requirements for rental licenses, especially considering how many really old buildings are used for student rentals to larger number of students. Obviously I supported those regulations while serving on the ZBA. My question has to do with the same regulations impacting situations like the one I described where someone has their prope1iy listed for sale and has already relocated. Rather than leave the home vacant, perhaps inviting vandalism or squatters or other damage, allowing the home to rented to single families (not multiple residents, like students) is an appropriate temporary use. As you know homes often take months to sell in Mount Pleasant, and I suppose having a house on Main Street contributes to that problem, even though it is a very well kept and up-to-date home. It would be way too much to reconstruct the house to meet the requirements than someone could ever sell it for, unless it was being offered as a rental investment, which is not likely to happen in that zoning area.
I still own a home in Denver and the one we now live in, in Santa Fe was a rental we brought a few years ago. In neither location do we need a rental license to rent to single families. We would if they were boarding houses or multiple residents (like student housing in Mount Pleasant.)
We do have some furniture still in the house on Main Street and I stay there when in town for work with the University, which is good since for insurance purposes it counts as a seasonal home. If it were completely vacant, it could not be insured which adds to the potential loss if something were to happen. As a temporary rental, it can be insured while awaiting a buyer. And of course in the zone we have our house, it cannot be rented to more than two um-elated adults. It would be attractive to a family only.
Hopefully, someone will come along soon and buy it, but I am not holding my breath. It is a beautiful home with many updates, including all the windows, electrical, etc. But it is designed for single families, not students. We certainly enjoyed living there and have great memories.
Best wishes for the upcoming Holiday season and New Year.

Steve- You are correct that in order for the home to be rented either by you as a private individual or through a property management company requires that it be licensed for rental according to the City Code of Ordinances. The housing licensing code applies to all rental units within the City. lt was put into place to set minimum requirements for health and safety for rental units within the city, regardless of who the occupants of the residential dwelling are. Over the decades
1 since it has been in place we have often heard about the expense of alterations needed for some homes to meet the standards of the housing licensing code and it is not uncommon for older homes to have higher costs. Since the housing licensing ordinance was first put in place, our community has felt that due to the sometimes transient nature of our community that applying the minimum standards results in improved overall safety and welfare. The standards also apply to "short term rentals" (such as AirBn Bs) in the City too.
To my knowledge the elected officials have not previously bad serious conversation about setting different minimum requirements for rental licensing dependent on the intended occupant. Based on your inquiry, though, l will share your communication with the elected officials to see if this is a matter that they would want to consider discussing in the coming year.

Nancy, I sent the email thread before to Paul Lauria and Tony Kulick back in October. To date I have not received a response from anyone about the concern. Just wondering if this was being referred to anyone for consideration or not.
My house on Main Street is still empty, although l do use it when in town working with the University, but that is only episodic. It seems there ought to be a provision in the rental codes to allow people like me to rent a home that is on the market to single families. I realize any change likely won't help me, but it may assist others in the same situation in the future. Our house has been on the market since April 2019. We moved in mid-June.

Good Morning Steven .....
Regarding the concerns you raised below about the rental program, it really is an issue that should be directed to the Department of Public Safety who administer the rental program. I would suggest contacting the Director, Paul Lauria to discuss and possibly updated the email below to the City Commission.

Brian,
Please pass on my concerns to the appropriate offices and the Planning Commission.
As you know we relocated to Santa Fe in June and have been trying to sell our home at 602 S Main since April I st with no success, even though we have lowered the price from $225K to $195K in the last week. I suspect it has a lot to do with having a ·fraternity next door as well as the surplus of homes on the market. We thought we might rent the home to a single family while trying to sell, but as you know in Mount Pleasant one must have a license. I discovered that the regulations governing new rental prope1ties would cost me probably $20,000 or more, which of course doesn't 1m1ke sense since there is no intent to turn the home into a permanent rental. The deficits deal with window sizes in the three bedrooms on the second floor plus the finished basement windows, and some other deficits. None of these affect the egress or safety of the home for purposes of selling to a private party. In fact a ll of the windows have adequate egress to the outside even though they are double hung windows. The basement family room also has two windows that are large enough to exit. The requirements though would mean enlarging the openings on the second floor and putting in casement windows; and for the basement, having to cut into the foundation wall and enlarge at least one of the windows and again replacing the double hung windows with casement windows. The other items have to do with railings and sheetrocking under the basement stairs.
As I understand it we cannot under City ordinance rent to a private party, even a single family, without having a license. lfwe continue to have it listed, the real estate agent could be held liable ifwe do not have a license; and ifwe hire a property manager, having the license is a requirement. I assume this all correct?
4 Obviously few of the existing student housing in the neighborhood probably meet these requirements, but then they are grandfathered in unless they want to make significant renovations. That is beside the point though. It seems to me that the City ought to amend the ordinance to allow situations like ours to either not need a license or not have to meet the restrictive requirements, which make sense for houses and buildings rented to students, especially multiple students in the house; but probably are over kill when renting to private individuals/families. The alternative right now is that our house is likely to be vacant all winter, inviting vandalism or other damage, and perhaps worst. That probably is not in the interest of the City.
I still own our home in Lakewood, Colorado and prior to relocating, lhe house we own in New Mexico. In neither case are we required to have a license when renting to a single person or family. The same people have been renting our house in Colorado for 12 years now. That house has had minor update.s over the years. Our home here in Mount Pleasant has had signific::int renovations over the past 12 years including replacement of all the windows ::ibout IO years ago, as well as installation of a centralized fire alarm system and updated electrical systems. I would think most professionals would consider it more than safe for families.
I know having the Planning Commission look at this issue likely won't change our situation in the short term, but might help others in our situation in the future. If there is a legal way to rent to a single family now, that would be great, but not at the expense of the significant changes suggested by the fire inspector.
There were a couple of families interested in renting, but unfortunately we couldn't do so under the circumstances.
Thanks

Nancy Ridley, City Manager Jacob Kain, AICP Planning & Community Development 320 W. Broadway Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858
Dear Nancy & Jacob:
Thank you for taking the time to address the concerns of our members at your commission meeting on November 11, 2019. Unfortunately, this letter comes to you once again as we have yet to receive a response from the Planning commission on the many concerns we have with the new Zoning Ordinance. Following the directives of the City Commissioners, stating that this is a Planning commission issue, we have submitted our concerns to the Planning Commission, multiple times. However, we have failed to receive any official response from the Planning Commission. Given this impasse, we are unsure of what steps to take next and request clarification.
At the November City Commission meeting and in the October 17th Memo regarding communications received regarding the zoning ordinance it is stated “All specific items of concern related to the Zoning Ordinance which have previously been brought forward have been referred to the Planning Commission and have been addressed with the exception of the residential garage/accessory buildings”, which is definitely not the case and I respectfully disagree. We have been forced to repeatedly bring this back given the many problems we foresee, and the ramifications of this Ordinance, which hinders residential and commercial building, as well as remodeling and simple upgrades in the City of Mt. Pleasant.
The Home Builders Association of Central Michigan has five (5) main concerns that we do not feel have been adequately addressed.
1. Roof Pitch: The zoning regulates roof pitch in a similar manner to the 1984 ordinance, whereas the building codes regulate design loads and use of building materials to comply with the loading criteria. The 1984 zoning code included standards for door location, minimum width, minimum square footage, etc. The 1984 Zoning Ordinance regulated roof pitch with allowances for roof pitches that were shallower than 8/12, all the way down to a flat roofed home. The new zoning ordinance essentially outlaws the construction of a residential home with a roof pitch that is shallower than an 8/12 pitch. You say you addressed this by allowing homes to also be built with a 7/12 roof pitch. That still essentially outlaws a number of roof pitch options that home buyers desire.
2. Garage Orientation: Although it was stated that this was once again a Planning Commission issue and would be full dealt with by them at their December meeting, it was not.
3. Set-backs and Orientation: There was some confusion as to what this was referring given the different residential zones in the city that all have different setbacks and orientation requirements. Our members find this very confusing and burdensome. Certainly, there must be a way to simplify set-backs and orientation across the zones.
4. Commercial Frontage and set-backs: This is in reference to the requirements on Mission Street for new commercial development that has also been brought to your attention from some of the local developers.
5. Parking lots: This is in reference to the cost of resurfacing existing parking lots or new construction of parking lots in order to comply with the new zoning and waste water plans. While there is an exception as of September 2019, that only applies to parking lots less than 2600 square feet, or by my understanding, parking lots with less than 10 parking spaces.
We have also been informed that the zoning ordinance creates a direct conflict with the construction standards set in law across the State of Michigan. According to Lee Schwartz, the Vice President of Government Relations for the Home Builders Association of Michigan,
“Once a municipality adopts state building code it may not unilaterally impose more restrictive conditions than set forth in code”, and we find that this Ordinance violates this multiple counts.
We hope that continued discussion may eventually lead us to some solutions and a formal response as to what actions will be taken next to solve the many issues that have developed through this Zoning Ordinance.
Sincerely,
Kevin Keating

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION JANAUARY 8, 2020
FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: BIDS AND QUOTATIONS a. Street Sweeping Disposal The attached memo from Interim DPW Director Jason Moore recommends a contract with Fisher Transportation in the amount of $24.38 per ton for the disposal of street sweepings for 2020 and 2021. This contact transports the sweepings to an appropriate Class II landfill.
Recommended Motion: Move to award a contract to Fisher Transportation for street sweepings disposal in the amount of $24.38/ton for 2020 and 2021. b. Grounds Mowing Bids were requested for mowing, trimming and weed whipping for street island/boulevard areas, drainage areas, Industrial Park South (including a right-of- way for a parcel owned by the Economic Development Corporation) and the former Mt. Pleasant Center. The attached memo from Interim DPW Director Jason Moore recommends a contract with the sole responder, Green Scene Landscaping, for 2020 and 2021 at the listed bid prices per week. It should be noted the contract is for 22 weeks of mowing per year and we anticipate it will be above the $20,000 threshold requiring City Commission approval.
Recommended Motion: Move to approve the bid from Green Scene Landscaping for 2020 and 2021 grounds mowing in the amount of $315 per week for street boulevards, islands and drain areas, and $385 per week for the former Mt. Pleasant Center Property. c. Wastewater Generators (2) As outlined in the attached memo from Interim DPW Director Jason Moore, the generators at the Wastewater Treatment Plant and Pickard Street Lift Station are in need of replacement. Bids were sent out for the removal and replacement of both generators and four bids were received. Funds of $225,000 were originally budgeted in 2019 for this work but the project was carried forward to 2020. It is recommended the City Commission award the contract for the removal and replacement of two generators, (1-Wastewater Treatment Plant and 1-Pickard COMMISSION LETTER #004-20 MEETING DATE: JANUARY 13, 2020 Page 2 Street Lift Station) to Ted’s Electric Service, Inc. for $207,245 and authorize a budget allocation for 2020. It should be noted that Tribal 2% funds in the amount $137,500 was received for the project.
Recommended Motion: Move to award the contract for the removal and replacement of two generators for the Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Pickard Street Lift Station to Ted’s Electric Service, Inc. at a cost of $207,245 and authorize the budget amendment.

Memorandum Mt. Pleara-""t [ meet here]
TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager
FROM: Jason Moore, Interim DPW Director
DATE: January 2, 2020
SUBJECT: Award Contract for 2020-2021 Street Sweepings Disposal Bid
Request The City Commission is requested to award the contract for the 2020-2021 Street Sweepings Disposal bid to Fisher Transportation, for $24.38 per ton.
Reason Approximately 1,500 tons of waste is collected from the street sweeping process each cleaning season. In accordance with the state’s disposal regulations, the sweepings must be disposed of in a state-approved class II landfill. The contract for hauling and disposal of the sweepings is bid on an annual basis. In order to retain the best pricing, this year the bid included a multi-year contract for the 2020 and 2021 cleaning seasons.
On November 26, 2019, the following bids were received. For reference, the 2019 bids are listed in parentheses.
Price per Ton 1,500 Tons (est.) Total Bid R & T Murphy Trucking, Mt. Pleasant $21.40 (no bid in 2019) $32,100.00 Fisher Transportation, Mt. Pleasant $24.38 ($20.28) $36,570.00
The apparent low bidder is R & T Murphy Trucking. However, R & T Murphy’s bid did not meet the City’s specifications because they did not submit the required bid bond or deposit with their bid. Therefore, Public Works is recommending award of the bid to Fisher Transportation. Fisher was the awarded contractor in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Their bid of $24.38 per ton for the 2020-2021 contract is $4.10 higher than the 2019 contract price of $20.28 per ton due to increased landfill tip fees.
Recommendation I recommend award of the 2020-2021 Street Sweepings Disposal bid to Fisher Transportation for $24.38 per ton. Funds are available in the 2020 Local and Major Street operating budgets
Memorandum Mt. Pleara-""t [ meet here]
TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager
FROM: Jason Moore, Interim DPW Director
DATE: January 2, 2020
SUBJECT: Award 2020-2021 Grounds Mowing Bid
Request: The City Commission is requested to award the 2020-2021 Grounds Mowing bid to Green Scene Landscaping, of Mt. Pleasant, for the bid prices stated.
Reason: The City contracts with a private firm on an annual basis for grass mowing, weed whipping, and trimming in the following areas: 1. Street islands A. Maple and Elizabeth Streets B. Crescent and Center Streets C. Hopkins and Highland Streets 2. Drainage Areas A. Upton Drain area along Glen Street B. City Outlot A (retention pond) near the southwest corner of Country Way and Orchard Lane 3. Industrial Park South A. Street island at entrance B. Right of way along Isabella Road for parcel owned by EDC 4. Former Mt. Pleasant Center A. Area along both sides of the sidewalk on the north side of Pickard Street from N. Crawford Road to Bamber Road B. 50’ section adjacent to the property owned by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe C. Field area surrounding the emergency tower on Bamber Road near West Pickard
The contract is based on an estimated 22 weeks of mowing between May 1 and September 30, subject to weather and growing conditions, and is managed by the Street Department superintendent.
On November 26, 2019, the following bids were received. For reference, the 2019 pricing is in parentheses.
Bid Item Bid Price City boulevards, street islands, Outlot A, Industrial Park $315.00/week South island, and Upton Drain area ($315.00/week) Former Mt. Pleasant Center and the field surrounding $385.00/week the emergency tower (on Bamber Road) ($385.00/week)
Right-of-way on Isabella Road in front of EDC-owned
property $250.00/month
Green Scene Landscaping was the sole bidder. The City has contracted with Green Scene for grounds mowing for the past several years, and they have completed the work in a satisfactory manner and according to City specifications.
Mowing in front of the EDC-owned property will be performed once per month for six months, from May until October. Funds in the amount of $1,500 are available in the 2020 Economic Development budget.
Recommendation: I recommend the City Commission award the contract for the 2020-2021 Grounds Mowing bid to Green Scene Landscaping for the above listed bid prices for the City- owned property, and a not-to-exceed amount of $1,500 for the EDC-owned property . Funds for this work have been included in the 2020 Local and Major Streets, Land Development, and Economic Development budgets.

DATE: January 6, 2020
SUBJECT: Award Contract for Wastewater Generator Replacements
Request: The City Commission is requested to award the contract for the removal and replacement of two generators for wastewater to Ted’s Electric Service, Inc., of Rhodes, Michigan, for $207,245.
Reason: The City of Mt. Pleasant currently operates generators at the wastewater treatment plant and Pickard Street lift station. This project consists of the removal and replacement of the generators at both locations. The generators currently in use have reached the end of their useful life.
The City contracted with C2AE for bid letting and evaluation. On Tuesday, December 10, 2019, the following bids were received.
Ted’s Electric Service, Inc., Rhodes $207,245.00 Windemuller, Midland $216,500.00 J. Ranck Electric, Inc., Mt. Pleasant $236,603.00 Block Electric Company, Weidman $338,000.00
C2AE conducted post bid interviews with the two lowest bidders and found both bids in line with the bid documents. C2AE recommends award of the contract to Ted’s Electric Service.
Recommendation: I recommend the City Commission award the contract to Ted’s Electric Service, Inc. for $207,245 for removal and replacement of the generators at the wastewater treatment plant and Pickard Street lift station. Funds are available from a Tribal 2% grant and the Wastewater Plant Reserve.
COMMISSION LETTER #005-20 MEETING DATE: JANUARY 13, 2020
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION JANAUARY 8, 2020
FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDER CONTRACT ADDENDUM WITH MCKENNA FOR ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES
In September 2018 the City approved a contract with McKenna for the creation of a new master plan. The award to McKenna was based on a review of eight responses received through the RFP process. The original budget for the master plan was $203,500 but was amended to the awarded contract amount of $150,000.
During 2019 McKenna Associates held the five-day public engagement charrette and completed hundreds of online surveys to obtain public input. Presentations outlining the status of the draft plan were provided in both June and October to each of the following boards: . Mission/Pickard Downtown Development Authority . Planning Commission . Parks and Recreation Commission . City Commission
During the City Commission 2020 goals setting discussion, the City Commission adopted a goal to finish the master plan in an inclusive and effective manner and secure adoption. One of the strategies of the goal was to ensure that residents understand the importance of the master plan process and are aware of the opportunities to participate and share their views about their perceptions of a desirable community before arriving at the final approval stage.
In addition, over the last couple of months some stakeholders have indicated to the City Commission they were unaware of the process and felt that many in the community were not aware of what was being proposed in the plan.
Based on the stated 2020 goal and the feedback received, attached is a memo from City Planner Jacob Kain recommending a contract amendment with McKenna to schedule and conduct three public open houses during the public comment period. As the memo outlines, these open houses would be held in a variety of venues, days and times to increase opportunities for participation.
COMMISSION LETTER #005-20 MEETING DATE: JANUARY 13, 2020 Page 2
We believe these additional public open houses will increase public awareness and knowledge of the proposed plan prior to the more formalized public hearing process. We therefore recommend the City Commission authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract amendment with McKenna for the addition of three public open houses and approve an additional budget allocation of $12,500 from the Unassigned Fund Balance.
Recommended motion: Move to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract amendment with McKenna Associates and authorize a budget allocation of $12,500 from the Unassigned Fund for the same.

FROM: Jacob Kain City Planner
DATE: December 30, 2019
SUBJECT: Master Plan contract addendum
As you know, McKenna is currently preparing the 100% draft of the City Master Plan. Staff will recommend that the Planning Commission and City Commission officially release the 100% draft plan for public review, consistent with the requirements of the Michigan Planning Enabling Act, in the near future.
I understand that to finish the new Master Plan in an inclusive and effective manner and secure adoption is a priority goal of the City Commission for 2020.
To that end, the proposed contract addendum with McKenna would provide for 3 public open houses during that public review period. This would offer the community additional opportunities to learn about the proposed plan and ask questions of staff and the project consultants. I believe these additional services would expand the public’s knowledge about the proposed master plan and decrease the potential for surprises during the official adoption process.
If approved by the City Commission, staff will work with McKenna to schedule the open houses in March or April. The events will be scheduled to maximize opportunities for participation by utilizing a variety of venues, days, and times of day.
REQUESTED ACTION:
Approve the contract addendum with McKenna for $12,500 and authorize the Mayor to sign the same.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTIONS #1 AND #2 TO COMMENCE THE PROCEEDINGS FOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENT, TENTATIVELY DETERMINE THE NECESSITY, AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JANUARY 27, 2020, REGARDING THE NECESSITY OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT #1-20
During the development of the 2019 Operating Budget, decisions were made to reduce the downtown Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) capture rate to 0% and have downtown infrastructure projects be handled similarly to other infrastructure projects throughout the rest of the City. The decision was based on two primary factors, the TIFA capture did not generate enough funds to maintain and enhance the infrastructure within the district over the long term and the City Commission desired more control over the setting of City-wide infrastructure priorities. The policy decision was incorporated into the approved 2019 Operating Budget, the 2020-2025 Capital Improvement Plan and the 2020 Operating Budget.
One of the downtown infrastructure projects planned for 2020 includes the reconstruction of Michigan Street from Oak Street to Washington Street. The project also includes limited streetscape enhancements to include stamped concrete in the furniture zone, benches, bike racks, trash cans, trees and tree grates and enhanced pedestrian lighting to include banner poles and hanging baskets. Consistent with other such projects, the street reconstruction will be funded with Local Street funds. The streetscape enhancements will be funded with Capital Improvement funds and the pedestrian lighting enhancements will be funded with a combination of Special Assessment and Capital Improvement funds.
Attached is a memo from Finance Director Mary Ann Kornexl which outlines the background of pedestrian lighting in the City since 2014 and the recommended special assessment for this 2020 pedestrian lighting project. Also attached is an excerpt from the bid documents which depicts the preliminary layout of where the 16 new pedestrian lights would be installed.
The city charter and ordinances outline a specific process for special assessments to ensure that affected property owners who will be billed for a share of the improvement, have adequate notice and opportunity to comment on the project. The process requires holding two public hearings. COMMISSION LETTER #007-19 MEETING DATE: JANUARY 8, 2020 Page 2 Resolutions #1 and #2 have been prepared to initiate the process for 2020. Resolution #1 initiates the process indicating a desire for the public improvement. The 2020-2025 Capital Improvement Plan pages 80-81 provide the report that is referenced in that resolution (a copy of those pages from the approved plan is attached). Resolution #2 sets a public hearing to allow for comment on the need for the project.
It is recommended the City Commission approve Resolutions #1 and #2 as presented to start the process. Assuming they are both approved, individual notices will be mailed to each property owner in the assessment district informing them of the public hearing date. Although not required, the notice also includes the estimated assessment amount and potential repayment terms.
Although an assessment roll is not expected to be prepared until after the first public hearing according to our ordinance, we have found it beneficial to prepare the roll ahead of time and provide it during the beginning of the process. The draft roll is attached for your reference.
Recommended motion: Move to approve Resolutions #1 and #2 for Special Assessment District #1-2020 as presented.

Memorandum Mt. Pleara-""t [ meet here]
TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager
FROM: Mary Ann Kornexl, Finance Director
DATE: December 16, 2019
SUBJECT: 1-20 Pedestrian Lighting Special Assessment
The 2020 Operating Budget includes the continuation of the Neighborhood Pedestrian Street Lighting project by installing lighting on both sides of Michigan Street between Oak and Washington Streets. Lights have been installed on Washington, Franklin, Lansing, Douglas & University streets in 2014 and 2016; on Broadway Street from the bridge to Bradley in 2017 and 2018; and on Pleasant, Clayton, Gaylord and May Streets in 2019.
During 2019 a significant reorganization of the funding sources for downtown was implemented as part of the approved budget. It was recommended and approved as part of the Capital Improvement Plan that all future neighborhood pedestrian lighting projects in the downtown would be treated in the same manner as other pedestrian lighting projects in other areas of the City due to the elimination of the future TIFA capture. Therefore, it was anticipated that a special assessment district would be created for the 2020 project. The prior special assessments for pedestrian lighting assessed 70% of the project cost for M-1 and M-2 zoned properties and the new zoning districts of CD-4 and CD-5. This allocation is based on the assertion that the property owners are specially benefitted because statistical and anecdotal information demonstrates that well-lit areas are safer with fewer reported incidents and the lighting makes them feel safer. Increased safety and feelings of safety are especially important in these areas. The general public at large is also benefitted and therefore the Capital Improvement Fund covers 30% of the cost.
During the 2020 budget work session, it was confirmed that the project would be a special assessment. Also, during the discussion, it was re-iterated that the new lights would be the less decorative black pedestrian lights that have been installed in other areas of the City. Sixteen lights will be installed (instead of the current 10) to provide better and more consistent lighting. A question was raised whether the salvage value of the existing lights could be applied toward the project cost. Our research revealed that the existing lights were purchased using TIFA funds and any salvage value should, therefore, be returned to the TIFA. The estimated salvage is $500-$1000 for all poles and $2,000-$3,000 for the heads. We recommend the heads be retained for parts for other lights in the downtown and that the poles be scrapped.
The attached resolutions 1 and 2 initiate the special assessment process for this district and schedule the first of two public hearings on this matter. The 2020-2025 Capital Improvement Plan outlines the plan and background for the Neighborhood Pedestrian Street Lighting Project and serves as the report referenced in the first resolution. Also attached is a draft assessment roll that is the subject of the second public hearing. After the second public hearing, the City Commission sets the payback terms. We will be proposing the repayment terms be consistent with prior pedestrian lighting special assessments which is also in accordance with the alley paving guidelines. Those terms are 3% interest with a payback period to result in payments of an average $500 per year. For this roll the payback period would be eleven (11) installments.
Requested Action:
Please include the following resolutions for consideration on the January 13th City Commission agenda to start the special assessment process and set the first public hearing for January 27th

WHEREAS, pursuant to provisions of the City Charter of the City of Mt. Pleasant and Chapter 33: TAXATION, Section 33.17 “Authority to Assess”, of the Code of Ordinances, the City Commission of the City of Mt. Pleasant may commence proceedings for the making of local public improvements within the City and determine the tentative necessity thereof; and,
WHEREAS, the City Commission has tentatively deemed it to be in the public interest, health and welfare to install pedestrian street lights on Michigan St. between Washington St. and Oak St. in the City Special Assessment District No. 1-20;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT:
• The City Manager is directed to cause to be prepared a report which shall include all analysis and information required by Section 33.20 “Survey and Report”, of the Code of Ordinances.
• When the aforesaid report is completed, the City Manager shall file the same with the City Clerk for presentation to the Commission.
• All resolutions and parts of resolutions insofar as they conflict with the provisions of this resolution be and the same hereby are rescinded.
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Title Neighborhood Pedestrian Street Lighting
Source of Department Public Works Funding Capital Improvement Fund/Special Assessment/Grant
Year Program Proposed 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Capital Cost $120,000 $120,000 $120,000 $120,000 $120,000 $120,000
1. Description and Location This project installs decorative pedestrian lights in residential neighborhoods in the city to provide illumination of the public sidewalks.
Costs included in this estimate are the lighting fixtures and poles, wiring, conduit and new electrical service and meters. In addition, the projects would include costs for surveys and engineering to assure that lighting levels would be designed to meet industry standards and to appropriately design around driveways and street tree locations. Construction administration and inspection are also factored in.
Michigan Street, Illinois Street and all public space lighting going forward will use the standard black direct bury concrete poles to match all other existing neighborhood pedestrian street lighting.
2. History and Plans At the goal setting retreat in 2013, the City Commission prioritized the installation of pedestrian lighting in additional areas of the city. Below is a list where additional street lighting was installed.
2014 Washington: South of High (70/30 Special Assessment) - $81,900
2015 Washington: North of High - $175,500
2016 S. Franklin, S. Lansing, S. University and Douglas (70/30 Special Assessment) - $201,600
2017 Broadway: Bridge to Maxwell - $130,000
2018 Broadway: Maxwell to Bradley (Tribal 2%) - $97,000
The cost estimates provided reflect the use of the same poles and fixtures selected for the Main Street Downtown to Campus Connection lighting. These poles and fixtures were selected due to their similar design to those in the downtown, but are distinguished in color and material. The estimates provided assume an illumination level similar to the Main Street project and are generally based on providing illumination on two long or four short city blocks. Because block lengths vary, the assumed service area is 600 feet long with 18 poles and fixtures. Once service areas are recommended, annual estimates can be updated to reflect the true conditions of the planned service area.
80 2019 Installation of pedestrian lighting recommended for future years in the following priority order:
1. May, Clayton, Pleasant and Gaylord (70/30 Special Assessment CD-4) (2019 Project) 2. STMichigan (both sides): Washington to Oak (70/30 Special Assessment) 3. STIllinois (north side): Main to Fancher (70/30 Special Assessment) 4. University (west side): High to Michigan 5. West Campus (west side): Bellows to Preston 6. Preston (north side): Mission to Crapo
3. Need and Impact The project will enhance walkability, safety and nighttime activity in city neighborhoods.
Linkage to vision: We will work together toward being a community… With well-maintained, livable and desirable neighborhoods. That is safe, clean and healthy.
4. Related Cost Details While black concrete poles were selected for the lighting project for their durability and low maintenance, it is anticipated that there will be long-term maintenance costs associated with the poles. Those costs are not known at this time.
LED lamps also have a finite life span. Industry estimates vary widely from about 8 to 15 years, but because the oldest LED lights in the city are still only a couple of years old, there is no local track record on lamp life. It will be necessary to budget future funds for these replacements. With technology changes, the costs of lamps are also changing rapidly. Current costs for lamp replacement are around $900 each.
It will also be necessary to budget for annual operating costs for electricity. These costs can be better estimated on a project-by-project basis, but a rough estimate of costs based on the broad assumptions included in this write-up puts the annual cost to operate a long block at approximately $1,100.
5. Future Funds Needed There will be additional installation, maintenance and operational costs as lighting is added to
more neighborhood blocks in future.
