Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission February 6, 2020 Page 2 VI. Communications:

Kain reported that we received one communication from Doug LaBelle II which was included in packets.

VII. Public Hearings: SUP-20-02 & SPR-20-02 – 1011 S. Washington

Kain introduced SUP-20-02 & SPR-20-02 submitted by Jacqueline Pelletier, with a request to increase the licensed occupancy of an existing rooming dwelling from 3 to 5 occupants. Kain shared photos of the site and reviewed the property’s zoning and other characteristics as well as the current use, zoning, and future land use of adjacent properties. Kain reported that the rooming dwelling use is allowed in the CD-4 district subject to a special use permit. Kain reviewed the special use permit criteria for rooming dwellings, noting that the proposal is consistent with these SUP conditions. Kain provided some background on the property, noting that the Planning Commission considered an application in 2007 to permit 6 occupants. Under site conditions and City ordinances at that time the site qualified only for 3 occupants and was approved as such. Kain reported that in September of 2019, the Fire Department received a complaint from a tenant of the subject property. Upon inspection the Fire Department determined the property had 5 occupants. Subsequently City staff has worked with the applicant to prepare the application under consideration to bring the occupancy into compliance. Kain noted that as part of the request, the site would be brought into compliance with current site standards. Kain noted that currently the existing driveway encroaches onto the neighboring property; therefore, one of the recommendations from staff is that the applicant obtain an easement from the neighbor for the encroachment or remove it. Kain reported that the proposal includes six existing parking spaces and the addition of bicycle parking and landscaping. The applicant is not proposing any modifications to the existing building. Kain concluded his report recommending approval with several conditions as noted in the staff report. Commissioner Friedrich asked if there was sufficient square footage to allow five occupants. Kain noted that there is. He further commented that since 2007 the requirement for ceiling height was reduced, which brings the subject property’s finished basement into compliance. Commissioner Rise asked if other properties that have been found to be over-occupied have been offered the same solutions. Kain responded that this one is somewhat unusual in that it was over-occupied but qualified for a special use permit for a higher occupancy. In most cases of over-occupancy, the property is already licensed at or beyond what would be allowed under current standards. Connie Houk, representing the applicant, and Jacqueline Pelletier, applicant, addressed the Board offering to answer questions.

Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission February 6, 2020 Page 3

Commissioner Dailey asked how they could lease to five when the property was licensed for 3. Ms. Houk commented that at one time the property was licensed for 7, then reduced to 6, then 5. Commissioner Irwin questioned why the applicant allowed five occupants when it was only approved for 3 and if the owner receives a certificate noting the allowed occupancy. Commissioner Irwin further questioned whether there were actually five on the lease. Ms. Pelletier stated there were five on the lease and she felt this was all due to an oversight and based on conversations with someone who was previously on the Fire Department but was no longer working for the City. Ms. Pelletier also commented that the property is inspected every year and has passed those inspections each year. Chair Hoenig asked if she was informed that the occupancy had been reduced to 3 following the 2007 meeting. Ms. Pelletier indicated that the occupancy is listed on the inspection sheet, however, reiterated that the property passed inspection each year. Kain noted that applicants to the Planning Commission receive a letter regarding the outcome of their application, which was true in this case as well. However, he noted that subsequent to that, the applicant had a conversation with the Fire Department, which apparently created some confusion. Kain also noted that the applicant has been working in good faith with staff to bring the site into compliance since the over-occupancy was brought to light. Commissioner Irwin questioned how the applicant or landlord knows what the occupancy is supposed to be, and questioned how this got missed for so long. Kain explained the software used by the departments, which shows occupancy and classification for each rental. He further commented that the Fire Department inspects thousands of units each year and there are only so many reliable means to determine over-occupancy. He noted that the Fire Department brought this particular issue to our attention. Vice-Chair Horgan asked what the tenant’s complaint was that prompted this latest inspection. Ms. Pelletier responded that she wanted out of the lease. Commissioner Rise asked if other communities have occupancy limits and questioned the definition of “family,” noting that there are non-traditional family units. Kain noted that occupancy limits are common, especially in college communities. He noted the definition of “family” in our ordinance is very inclusive. Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Rise commented that she feels it is reasonable to assume if a home has six bedrooms that 6 tenants would be allowed and noted that our regulations can be confusing to new buyers. Chair Hoenig commented that isn’t relevant to this case as the applicant has owned the property for several years. Motion by Dailey, support by Friedrich, to approve Special Use Permit 20-02 and Site Plan 20-02 subject to the following conditions:

1. The applicant shall obtain an easement for the existing driveway encroachment or work with the neighbor to remove the encroachment.

2. The applicant shall provide a code compliant landscape plan for all private landscaping, screens, and streetscaping.

3. The applicant shall provide details for the proposed bicycle parking which demonstrate compliance with City specifications.

4. The applicant shall provide a specification for screening of waste containers consistent with the requirements of the CD-4 district.

5. Comply with the requirements of the Divisions of Public Works and Public Safety. Motion approved unanimously.

VIII. Public Comments

Chair Hoenig opened the floor for public comments. There being no one who wished to speak the public comments session was closed.

IX. Site Plan Reviews:

None

X. Unfinished Business:

None

XI. New Business:

A. Recommend a Planning Commission Representative to the Zoning Board of Appeals:

Kain reported that each year the Planning Commission recommends a member to serve as a crossover member to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). Kain noted that the City Commission will receive the recommendation and make the appointment.

Motion by Dailey, support by Horgan, to nominate Commissioner Friedrich to serve as crossover member to the Zoning Board of Appeals. There were no other nominations. Nominations were closed and there was a unanimous vote to recommend that the City Commission appoint Commissioner Friedrich as crossover member to the ZBA.

B. Joint Meeting: Kain noted that each year, the Planning Commission traditionally holds a joint meeting with the City Commission to discuss the annual report, goals for the year, and other topics of interest. It is recommended that the joint meeting be set for Thursday, April 9, 2020 at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Commission Chambers. Motion by Liesch, support by Friedrich, to set a joint meeting with the City Commission on Thursday, April 9, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Hall Commission Chambers. Motion approved unanimously. C. Follow-up to January 9, 2020 Work Session:

Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission February 6, 2020 Page 5

Kain referred to the Work Session held on January 9, 2020 that was in response to a request by Joe Olivieri and Doug LaBelle II to meet with the Planning Commission and discuss the City’s residential building standards. Kain stated he was looking for direction from the Planning Commission on whether they needed additional information as a result of that meeting, if they would like to provide direction on an amendment to the ordinance, or if they prefer to take no action at this time. Commissioner Dailey clarified that if no action was taken at this time, they could still choose to revisit it later. Commissioner Rise commented that she feels property owners should have the right to put things where they wish; however, she stated that under current setbacks having the garages in the front would not leave sufficient room for cars to park in the driveway. Commissioner Liesch commented that he doesn’t feel that there is a need to make any changes at this time, but would be willing to revisit it in a few years. Vice Chair Horgan asked if there was any interest in looking at a compromise on the placement of the garage that would acknowledge Mr. Olivieri’s comments but still respect the desired community outcomes that were identified during the process of creating the code. Commissioner Liesch responded that Building Official Brian Kench asked Mr. Olivieri and Mr. LaBelle at the work session if they could recommend a compromise solution and they had no answer. Commissioner Irwin asked if it would be possible to get a list of changes that would have to be made to go back to the prior residential standards. Kain noted that garage orientation is integral to the form-based code and changing that would be more complicated than other prior amendments that the Planning Commission has recommended – such as to roof pitch requirements – since garage orientation impacts a variety of other standards. Chair Hoenig commented that we would be defeating the whole purpose of a form-based code. Commissioner Rise commented she would like to see evidence of houses being built in the next few months and if the permits drop then perhaps we should then look at making some changes. Commissioner Liesch responded that there are other things that come into play such as demographics. If the population isn’t growing, then we can’t expect a lot of new homes being built. A variety of variables, including labor and construction material costs, impact construction. Kain noted that the vast majority of new homes being built in the last few years have been built by one builder who is currently not building single family homes in the city. Commissioner Irwin asked how many buildable lots are available in the City. Kain noted that his analysis shows approximately 73 buildable lots, with several hundred acres of vacant land that could be platted for development in the future. The Board consensus was to maintain the standards as they exist at this time. The Board requested that a work session be held in early 2021 to revisit the topic. Kain noted he would invite Mr. Kench to attend that discussion.

D. 2050 Master Plan:

Page 10: Regular Meeting of the City Commission Tuesday, May 26 ...May 26, 2020  · Principal Shopping District. Investigate for next assessment roll whether new businesses can be granted

Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission February 6, 2020 Page 6

Kain reported that the 100% draft of the proposed master plan draft is complete and available on the project website. In order to move the project forward, Planning Commission is being asked tonight to refer the plan to the City Commission for release. The City Commission is required by state law to release the plan to specified local and regional entities for a period of 63 days upon referral from the Planning Commission. Kain noted that this 63-day review period must precede any public hearings on the plan. Kain reminded the Board that the City Commission approved a contract addendum with McKenna to provide for three public open houses. The schedule for these open houses is as follows: Wednesday, March 25th, from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the Rotunda Room on CMU campus. Thursday, April 23rd from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at Cops & Donuts Thursday, April 23rd from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. in the City Hall Commission Chambers. Kain noted the open houses will provide the public with an opportunity to see the results of last year’s public process and interact with the consultant and staff. He further noted that the 100% draft plan is substantially the same as the 70% plan presented to the Planning Commission in October 2019. Kain reported that following the 63-day review period and prior to adoption, a minimum of three public hearings would be required, one each before the Planning Commission, Parks & Recreation Commission, and City Commission. Commissioner Rise expressed confusion on why they are voting on the plan before the public hearing process. Kain explained that the requested action is to refer the plan to the City Commission so that they may release it to the public for the required 63-day review period. Motion by Friedrich, support by Liesch, to refer the proposed master plan to the City Commission for their consideration and release for review and comment consistent with the requirements of the Michigan Planning Enabling Act. Motion approved 6:1 with Rise voting nay.

XII. Other: A. Staff Report:

March Meeting: Kain reported we would be seeing a Special Use Permit for a truck rental business. He further stated he would ask Assistant Fire Chief Doug Lobsinger to attend and talk about the Housing Licensing program.

XIII. Adjournment: Motion by Friedrich, support by Rise, to adjourn. Motion approved unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 8:07 p.m.

2019 IFT Memo

To: Mt. Pleasant City Commission From: James McBryde, President and CEO Middle Michigan Development Corporation Date: March 16, 2020 Subject: 2019 IFT Report I am forwarding this report for 2019 of job creation and retention for companies that received tax abatements from the City of Mt. Pleasant last year and in prior years. These tax abatements issued by the City of Mt. Pleasant were approved for the construction of buildings or additions to existing buildings either classified as real property or the purchase of non-real estate assets that would be classified as personal property. Non-real estate assets were primarily for machinery and equipment or assets of similar status. In addition to the 40 new jobs that were created by all companies that received these tax abatements as listed on the attached report, another 234 jobs were retained by these companies since these abatements were issued by the Commission. Please note that we have removed expired tax abatements that had appeared in prior IFT reports in an effort to have accurate job totals for the abatements that are still in effect. The actions by the City Commission to approve these tax abatements clearly was instrumental to the decisions of these area companies to remain here and further invest in our local economy. I also have no doubt that the tax abatements approved by the City of Mt. Pleasant in prior years have continued to play a major role in the strengthening of our local economy. We hope to see more job growth and investment as a result of these tax abatements as we progress through 2020.

DATE: May 18, 2020

SUBJECT: Riverside Cemetery Mausoleum Roof Replacement

CC: Bill Mrdeza

Request: The City Commission is requested to authorize award of the contract for “Riverside Cemetery Mausoleum Roof Replacement” to IRT Commercial Services of Traverse City for a bid price with alternate of $27,425 per bid specifications. Staff also requests a $2,425 budget amendment to cover the total project cost.

Reason for Purchase: $25,000 was budgeted for this project in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan which replaces the roof system and understructure with a goal to include a 20 year warrantee. The membrane roof was last replaced in 1980. This project plus alternate completely replaces the roof substructure and installs a modern roofing system which includes a 20+ year warrantee.

Process: On March 9, 2020, three bids were received through the City’s competitive bid process two of the tree bidders did not include the required bid bonds as outlined below:

Company Name Address

Base Bid

Base Bid with Alternate

IRT Commercial Services 2464 S. M-37 South Traverse City, MI 49685

$14,795 $27,425

*Ostrander Windows, Siding & Roofing

9019 W. Belding Rd. Belding, MI 48809

$18,750 -0-

*C&J Building Maint., Inc. 1895 – 15 Mile Rd NE Sparta, MI 49345 $28,440 -0-

*These Bids were not complete as they did not include the required Bid Bonds requested in the bid documents. The base bid included replacement of a portion of the understructure and new roof system but bidders only included a 12 year warrantee with this option. Base bid with Alternate included full replacement of the roof understructure with a 20 year warrantee. Staff is recommending award of the contract to IRT Commercial Services for a not to exceed bid of $27,425. IRT was the only bidder with a complete bid package that included required bid bonds and alternate that provided full replacement of the roof understructure and complete roofing system based bid specifications and met all goals of the project. Staff has checked references provided by IRT Commercial Services as part of their bid and we feel comfortable that the project is well within their project experience and scope capability. Further, staff feels confident about their ability to complete the

project successfully and provide the full warranty as specified in coordination with the roofing system manufacturer.

Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Commission authorize the award of the contract for the Riverside Cemetery Mausoleum Roof Replacement to IRT Commercial Services of Traverse City for a not to exceed price with alternate of $27,425 to include a $2,425 budget amendment to cover the total project cost to be financed from 2020 Capital Improvement Funds.

COMMISSION LETTER #073-20 MEETING DATE: MAY 26, 2020

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MAY 20, 2020

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: RECEIPT OF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FINANCE AUTHORITY AND

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY INFORMATION AND ABILITY TO PROVIDE GRANTS TO LOCAL BUSINESSES

At the work session of April 27, additional information was requested on the capture figures from the Mission/Pickard Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and the CMU Smartzone Local Development Finance Authority (LDFA). Information was also requested about the ability to use those captured funds for potential grants for local businesses. Attached is a one page summary for each the Mission Pickard DDA and the CMU Smartzone LDFA. These summaries provide information on the taxable values, the 2019 captured values, December 31, 2019 working capital balances and 2020 approved budget expenditures. The approved budgets for 2020 are based on a continuation of the same capture rates (28% for the Mission Pickard DDA and 40% for the CMU Smartzone LDFA). As previously indicated, if any changes to the 2020 capture rates are anticipated, it would be important to allow each of the authority boards the opportunity to provide input before those budgets are amended. In the Mission/Pickard DDA, commitments or contracts have already been executed for the 2020 expenditure budget, except for the $62,000 of economic incentives. For the CMU Smartzone LDFA, contracts have already been executed for all of the items in the 2020 expenditure budget. Therefore, any changes to the capture rates for 2020 would require a reallocation of funds from the fund balances and/or working capital of each of those entities to cover the previously approved expenditures. Also attached is a communication from City Attorney Mike Homier indicating that the use of captured funds or other tax dollars cannot be used for creating a grant program for local businesses for operational expenditures. There is no action required on this information unless the City Commission wants to provide direction to have the staff receive input from either board regarding potentially changing the capture rate for 2020. Recommended Motion: No action is recommended on this item.

TO: Nancy Ridley

FROM: Michael D. Homier

DATE: May 19, 2020

RE: Economic Tools for Businesses Affected by COVID-19

The City of Mt. Pleasant has asked us to research whether captured tax revenue of the City of

Mt. Pleasant Downtown Development Authority (“DDA”) or the Local Development Financing

Authority (“LDFA”) can be used to provide unrestricted grants to private businesses affected by

COVID-19. Similarly, the City has asked whether general fund tax revenue (even those that may

come back to the City if the capture was lessened by the DDA and LDFA) may be used for the

same purpose.

In researching this issue, we are of course guided by constitutional and statutory authority that

would permit the DDA, LDFA or the City to expend public resources for private purposes.

Without specific authority, the DDA, LDFA and the City are precluded from spending public

funds for private purposes. While there are some narrow exceptions to this general rule, those

exceptions do not appear to be within the scope of how the City would use public resources in

this instance for economic relief for private businesses. Unfortunately, the City, like all local

municipalities, is simply constrained by law when it comes to the use of public funds and private

purposes. In other words, the DDA, LDFA and the City may only spend public money for public

purposes as defined by statute.

We are aware that other jurisdictions may be using tax captured moneys in the manner proposed

here by the City. We are also aware that others have declined to do so because they have

similarly concluded that use of tax captured funds to provide general economic relief to private

business is not authorized by law. We do not believe that unrestricted grants to local businesses

is a valid public purpose; instead, it is a private purpose and not authorized by law.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MAY 20, 2020

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION CONFIRMING ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS

REGARDING RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA LICENSING DATES The attached memo from City Clerk Jeremy Howard provides the updated status of deadlines for recreational marijuana applications received. The proposed resolution confirms the actions we have taken regarding the deadlines which have already been communicated to the applicants. You will notice that instead of indicating a certain date, we tied the due date to a number of days after the State of Emergency declaration ends or when the current Executive Orders are appropriately amended. A communication will be sent to all of the applicants indicating the deadline once one of those events occurs. It is recommended the City Commission approve the resolution as drafted by the City Attorney. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the resolution confirming recreational marijuana application dates as presented. NJR/ap

TO: Nancy Ridley City Manager FROM: Jeremy Howard City Clerk DATE: May 18, 2020 SUBJECT: Resolution Confirming Administrative Actions Regarding

Recreational Marijuana Licensing Dates At the April 13th City Commission meeting, a resolution was approved granting the City Manager authority to make administrative decisions that are necessary in response to Coronavirus pandemic. At the April 27th City Commission meeting, the commission confirmed the administrative decision to extend MRTMA deadline dates as follows:

• For supplementary applications to May 27, 2020 at 4:30 p.m. • For Stash Ventures, LLC to file Special Use Permit application to the City and

Phase II approval application to LARA related to their conditional authorization for a Class C Grower License until June 1, 2020.

Since that time, Governor Whitmer has extended the state of emergency for the state and issued several executive orders which limit economic activities across the state. In response and based on City Attorney recommendations, staff has issued additional extensions to these deadlines. Given the uncertainty of future events, the recently-issued extensions are not date-specific. The extensions allow for staff to provide appropriate notice to applicants of a new deadline date when either of the following occurs: the state of emergency declaration ends or executive orders are amended or rescinded such that the steps necessary to complete and file the supplementary applications are permissible. The attached resolution confirms those administrative decisions. I recommend the City Commission approve the resolution as presented confirming the above actions.

COMMISSION LETTER #075-20 MEETING DATE: MAY 26, 2020

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MAY 20, 2020

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION TEMPORARILY PERMITTING OUTDOOR

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Over the last few weeks staff have been reviewing the Executive Orders and the recommended reopening practices for the different industries. In many cases, reopening businesses requires a reduction in building occupancy and it may make sense for businesses to move some of their operations to adjacent outdoor space. Depending on the location of the business, that outdoor space may be public space (such as sidewalks and parking spaces) or private space (sidewalks, parking spaces or green space). In an effort to help businesses with planning for this reopening, we are recommending the City Commission approve a resolution to temporarily increase the amount of outdoor business activity allowed and expedite any approval processes for the utilization of such outdoor space. The attached resolution accomplishes the objectives outlined in the attached memo from City Planner Jacob Kain. In general, the resolution would accomplish the following:

• Allow property owners to utilize private outdoor space for existing business activities at that location.

• Allow City staff to approve any uses of public space for outdoor dining or outdoor merchandise displays (Current policy requires new applications to have City Commission approval. This resolution would allow staff to make such approvals.)

• Allow staff to authorize tent permits for greater than 30 days. • Allow the Director of Public Safety to approve plans for sale and consumption of

alcohol in outdoor areas. • Puts appropriate restrictions on the use of outdoor space to ensure appropriate

safety and access and other such necessary restrictions. • Waives the following fees:

o Outdoor dining license-This fee was previously waived for businesses in the downtown area but inclusion in this resolution allows for it to be included in one resolution and clarifies that it applies to all outdoor dining licenses.

o Outdoor merchandise displays o Tent permits

• These temporary policy changes would be in place through September 30. This would allow time to evaluate the effectiveness of the outdoor space, the approval

process and where we are with the COVID-19 pandemic to determine if any of these policy changes should be extended past September 30.

Approval of this resolution will assist businesses with planning an upcoming reopening when allowed by changes to Executive Orders from Governor Whitmer. It also allows the opportunity to provide a safe environment with additional occupancy options and will provided protections for the customers or public who utilize the businesses. We recommend you approve the attached resolution to allow these temporary changes. The resolution has been reviewed by City Attorney Mike Homier. We previously mentioned that consideration of potentially closing downtown streets was being investigated. There seems to be some interest by some downtown businesses to try the closure of streets in limited circumstances. We are still gathering additional information from other downtown businesses before approving such a closure. We believe this street closure issue is separate from the items outlined in this resolution for the expanded use of outdoor spaces and should be handled separately. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the resolution temporarily permitting outdoor business activities as presented. NJR/ap

Downtown Development Director FROM: Jacob Kain

City Planner DATE: May 19, 2020 SUBJECT: Resolution temporarily permitting outdoor business activities

The attached draft resolution is in response to the potential for expanded outdoor business activities in

response to COVID-19. Required or desired social distancing measures may impact the ability of some

business in the City to operate as they have in the past. Outdoor business activities (particularly during the

summer months) may support social distancing efforts while allowing businesses to operate at a rate

closer to pre-COVID averages.

In general, the resolution waives certain standards related to outdoor business activities; expands

administrative authority to issue tent, outdoor dining, and merchandise display permits; waives certain

fees; and seeks to mitigate any new issues that might be created under these temporary allowances.

Requested Action:

The City Commission adopt the attached resolution as presented.

Attachment:

1. Resolution temporarily permitting outdoor business activities

operations to continue or resume in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations and

guidelines.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of Mount Pleasant as follows:

1. The use of private outdoor parking areas, lawns, or other open spaces for sales, service, or

other types of work is temporarily permitted as an accessory use to such activities otherwise

required to occur within an enclosed building to promote social distancing.

2. The $50 application fee and all related space utilization fees for a Downtown Outdoor Dining

License are waived. Downtown Outdoor Dining Licenses may be utilized to provide for

merchandise sales or other similar activities in on-street parking spaces. The Downtown

Development Director may issue initial outdoor dining licenses to expedite approvals. The

Director may place conditions on such approvals.

3. For businesses outside the Downtown that do not have on-site parking areas, the use of

City-maintained on-street parking areas for temporary outdoor business activity may be

approved by the Downtown Development Director by applying for a Downtown Outdoor

Dining License. Any such applications must show the proposed parking area to be utilized.

The Director may place conditions on such approvals.

4. The $50 fee to obtain a Downtown Merchandise Display License is waived. The Downtown

Development Director may issue initial sidewalk licenses to expedite approvals. The Director

may place conditions on such approvals.

5. The $100 fee to obtain a tent permit is waived when associated with temporary business

activity by a business otherwise operating within an enclosed building, and the Building

Official may extend time limits on such permits beyond the typical 30-day limit on a case-by-

case basis.

6. The maximum occupancy of the outdoor space, public or private, shall not exceed the

comparable reduction in the maximum occupancy of the enclosed building below the rated

occupancy, and the expansion of outdoor business activities shall not constitute an increase

in overall business activity beyond the level existing prior to the start of such activity.

7. Alcohol sales and consumption may be permitted in outdoor areas by the Director of Public

Safety in association with a valid license issued by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission.

The Director may place conditions on such approvals, including but not limited to limitations

on the days and times of sales and consumption and access control measures such as

temporary fencing to prevent alcohol served on-site from being consumed off-site and

access to alcohol by individuals under the age of 21.

COMMISSION LETTER #076-20 MEETING DATE: MAY 26, 2020

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MAY 20, 2020

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF AMENDING FEES FOR

SUMMER 2020 PEAK. PEAK staff have been working on plans to offer six weeks of PEAK programming for a reduced number of participants this summer once it is deemed safe to do so. The current plan calls for the potential to begin offering the program June 22 through the end of July. Simultaneously staff applied for and has been tentatively awarded a grant to help cover costs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the requirements of the grant is to reduce the fees charged by at least 10%. The attached memo from Recreation Director Ryan Longoria recommends that the fees be reduced by more than 10% so that the new weekly fees are more in line with what would have been paid over the course of the six week “bundle package” that is typically charged. When comparing the weekly rates, the following chart shows the comparison. Resident/MPPS Non-Resident/Non -MPPS Scholarship-

Resident/MPPS Scholarship- Non-Resident/Non-MPPS

Current rates

$125 $150 $75 $90

Proposed 2020

$100 $125 $50 $65

Staff discussed the above fee recommendations with the Parks and Recreation Commission on May 19, 2020 and the board was supportive of the proposed fees. It is recommended the City Commission approve a temporary reduction to the PEAK fees for summer 2020 as proposed due to the availability of the grant funds. Based on our projections, the fees collected, plus the grant and Tribal 2% funds previously received will cover the full cost of the summer 2020 program. Approval of the fees at this time will allow us to have the fee structure in place assuming we are able to offer a program this summer. Recommended Motion: Move to approve resolution approving a temporary reduction in weekly summer 2020 PEAK fees as presented. NJR/ap

Page 62: Regular Meeting of the City Commission Tuesday, May 26 ...May 26, 2020  · Principal Shopping District. Investigate for next assessment roll whether new businesses can be granted

TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager FROM: Ryan Longoria DATE: May 19, 2020 SUBJECT: PEAK Summer Camp Fee Reduction CC: Bill Mrdeza Request: The Recreation Department is seeking to approval to reduce the fees for the 2020 PEAK Summer Camp to the following weekly rates:

o $100 resident/MPPS; $125 non-resident/non-MPPS (regular) o $50 resident/MPPS - $65 non-resident/non-MPPS (scholarship)

Current approved weekly rates: $125 resident/MPPS; $150 non-res/non-MPPS (regular) $75 resident/MPPS; $90 non-resident/non-MPPS

(scholarship) This request is based on the assumption that the 2020 PEAK Summer Camp will be only be offered in a safe and healthy setting, which is still being evaluated and developed. This request is not a commitment to guarantee that PEAK Summer Camp will be offered, but rather to have fees in place in the event we are able to offer the program starting in late June. Reason for Request: The City of Mt. Pleasant has obtained a grant from the State of Michigan’s Child Care Relief Fund. The Child Care Relief Fund is a non-competitive grant program that helps child care providers in Michigan cover costs during the COVID-19 state of emergency. Currently, the City has been granted $34,200 for April, and is set to receive $28,200 for May and $28,200 for June, for a total of $90,600. However, one of the stipulations of the grant funding is that grant recipients must commit to reducing their weekly rates for families by at least 10 percent. Because of this, PEAK would be required to adjust the weekly rates for families before taking any registrations. The reason the proposed rates have been adjusted more than the required minimum of 10 percent is so families who may be enrolling for all six weeks of PEAK Summer Camp would be paying a cost closer to the usual six week rates. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, PEAK would have charged weekly rates for the week of June 15th and the first three weeks of August and a flat rate for the full six weeks in between. However, that structure has had to be revised and the six week camp will now be offered in a weekly format in order to provide families more flexibility with their scheduling. Additionally, a weekly rate also would eliminate no-shows that could affect staffing levels and keep some registrants from not being able to attend.

Page 63: Regular Meeting of the City Commission Tuesday, May 26 ...May 26, 2020  · Principal Shopping District. Investigate for next assessment roll whether new businesses can be granted

The way that PEAK Summer Camp would be offered this summer would allow for 170 total campers. It is important to note that even at the lower rates, the grant funding the City would be receiving would still significantly outweigh the reduction in revenue – even if all 170 campers were to register at the scholarship rate, which would never be the case. Recommendation: In an effort to provide quality services at affordable rates, as well as to adhere to the State of Michigan’s Child Care Relief Fund grant guidelines, staff recommends that the 2020 PEAK Summer Camp weekly fees be adjusted to the rates outlined above.
