Reports from Boards and City Officers
13.540 Contract for Cathodic Protection System Repairs for 48th
Street Power Plant
Board of Public Works report was presented advising that the cathodic protection system at our 48th Street location is
failing and not providing corrosion protection to our underground piping. Thirty one anodes will be replaced to improve that protection. The existing galvanic cathodic protection system was installed during original construction in 1992. During the annual survey of the voltage readings that are indicative of the level of protection, we are seeing the voltage levels rising above the industry accepted criteria of -0.85 volts when measured with a copper-copper sulfate half-cell. Voltage readings should be more negative than -0.85 volts. Since the anodes of a cathodic protection system are sacrificial in nature this decline in protection is expected and the anodes will need periodic replacing. Our galvanic anodes have lasted 21 years. The life of an anode is a function of the quality of coating on the pipe it is protecting, the length of pipe is it protecting and any unrepaired damage from nearby construction activities. The contract with Corrpro Companies, Inc. will provide material, labor and equipment to replace thirty one of the existing 60 anodes in our system. They will install magnesium anodes into a vacuum excavated hole and tie the anode lead wire into the existing test station. Vacuum excavation has been specified to eliminate unwanted damage to other underground facilities. A geotextile containment barrier liner surrounding the fuel oil tanks will be penetrated to access the tank anodes. Included in Corrpro’s price below is a $5000 allowance added to Corrpro’s base bid to subcontract the barrier liner repair to MPC Containment International, the manufacture of the liner. Final in-service testing will also be performed to verify the protection level has been returned to an acceptable level. Corrpro Companies, Inc. is the recommended contractor on this project based on evaluation of the bids received from four contractors. Cost results are listed below.
Mears Group, Inc. $88,581.38 Corrpro Companies, Inc. $79,325.00 National Pipeline Services Declined to bid Cathodic Protection Management Declined to bid
It was recommended to approve a contract with Corrpro Companies, Inc. in the amount of $79,325.00, with a 10% contingency of $7,932.00, for a total of $87,257.00 pending approval as to form from the City Attorney.
A motion was made by Council Member Trethewey, 2nd
by Council Member De Boer, To adopt the recommendation
Upon ROLL CALL, the motion carried unanimously.
13.541 Service Contract with Siemens
Board of Public Works report was presented advising that the HBPW is required by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) to perform regular maintenance on breakers on the 138kV system. The breakers on the 138kV system must be inspected, rebuilt, or replaced every 20 years. Maintenance work like this is performed every year throughout our system, but this is the first time we are performing the work on three breakers simultaneously. Due to the specialized nature of the equipment and its criticality, we have deemed this a sole source project and have the manufacturer perform the work. We have not found another vendor that has an equivalent level of expertise or equipment. It was recommended to approve the Service Contract with Siemens to perform maintenance on three Siemens Type TCP Power Circuit Breakers for a total cost of $54,051.00, pending City Attorney approval of the terms and conditions.
A motion was made by Council Member Trethewey, 2nd
by Council Member De Boer, To adopt the recommendation
Upon ROLL CALL, the motion carried unanimously.

13.542 Demolition of Atmospheric Processing Plant at 110 Fairbanks
Board of Public Works report was presented advising that demolition of the Atmospheric Processing plant at 110 Fairbanks needs to be accomplished prior to beginning construction of the new Energy Center. As there are numerous environmental issues, regulations, and requirements that will need to be addressed when deconstructing this facility, HBPW staff have concluded that having a firm such as ERM manage the demolition will provide the most cost effective and risk adverse approach to dealing with this property. ERM has managed demolition projects on environmentally impaired projects for over 20 years and will bring their experience and expertise to bear on this complex project. It was recommended to enter into a professional services purchase order with Environmental Resources Management, for $50,900, to provide demolition management services for the building and associated assets located at 110 Fairbanks Avenue, Holland, Michigan.
A motion was made by Council Member Trethewey, 2nd
by Council Member De Boer, To adopt the recommendation
Upon ROLL CALL, the motion carried unanimously.
13.543 Unit 7 & Unit 8 Control System Replacement
Board of Public Works report was presented advising that Combustion Turbine Generating Units 7 & 8 were installed in 1992 and have been serving the HBPW in a peaking capacity since commissioning. General Electric, the OEM, has discontinued support for both the turbine and generator controls and declared them obsolete. Third party repairs and components are available for the generator controls; however they have not proven to be a reliable solution. Combustion Turbine Units 7 & 8 were installed in 1992. They have the original control systems that were supplied with the units from General Electric. The control systems have functioned well throughout their life but are at the end of their life cycle. The reliability of the systems has been decreasing. The turbine control systems have experienced some failures during the past few peaking seasons resulting in lengthy forced outages. Over the last 20 years, microprocessors and electronic technology have advanced so much that the original manufacturers of the components that make parts for the General Electric Speedtronic Mark IV control system no longer make or supply those parts. This has forced GE to discontinue production of the Mark IV control system and made it nearly impossible for them to continue the parts support. Due to General Electric’s lack of support for the existing control system, HBPW has been forced to seek out third party control system card repair shops and vendors. These cards and repairs have proven to be unreliable as oftentimes rebuilt cards do not work. Currently, HBPW does not stock every card or processor in the system; but HBPW researched the cost of purchasing a set of used or new old stock (NOS) cards for inventory. Purchasing a partial set for inventory to reduce downtime caused by card failures would cost approximately $110,000. By having inventory it would not reduce the number of failures or trips, but would reduce the length of time the unit is out of service--from weeks to a day or two. General Electric has provided a solution to customers, which includes upgrading all of the processing cards and electronics to the latest SpeedTronic Mark Ve Control System and the latest EX2100e Generator Control system. This is a viable option but has a significant cost. Due to the cost and proprietary nature of the system, other options have also been evaluated. Siemens and Emerson Process Management were invited to provide proposals for a cost effective turnkey control system replacement solution for both units. Siemens and Emerson both provided bids for a Distributed Control System (DCS) that would control the turbine and Generator/Excitation control systems. Typically DCS-type control systems are used in large, more complex systems such as coal fired power plants or combined cycle power plants. These systems are medium-priced options that offer a good solution but are not a perfect fit. Emerson’s bid was the lowest. The Emerson proposal did not include a historian, remote support capability, spare parts pricing, or training for the excitation system. The estimated cost of adding these is significantly more than the next competitive bid provided by TTS. The best option for the HBPW on cost, completeness, and technology is the proposal provided by Turbine Technology Services Corporation (TTS). The processors are made by Allen Bradley and are utilized across numerous process control and manufacturing industries. This means there is a large support network and replacement components can be procured locally. The Generator Control TTS is proposing are still industry specific, however, Basler Electric’s DECS400 system is a very popular aftermarket solution that has been proven on numerous generators in the industry, including HBPW’s Unit 4, 5 & 6 generators. TTS was contracted to supply and install a new control system on Unit 6 combustion turbine generator in 2001. Replacing the aged control system will provide HBPW an opportunity to integrate numerous system improvements and upgrades. Following is a brief overview of those upgrades and added functionality that will increase reliability and work efficiency:
1. Sequence of Events / Historian a. The new system will be purchased with a historian that records all of the critical values while the turbine is
online. When an issue occurs, the data can be recalled and studied to pinpoint issues and identify corrective actions that may be needed. Currently this capacity is very limited and mostly non-existent.
2. Standard Industry Control Components and Programming Language

a. The new control system will utilize many common components and a programming language that is not proprietary to one industry or piece of equipment but is instead common and found in numerous industries where controls and automation are used. This will mean that support from local vendors, suppliers, and technicians will be easier to procure and result in quicker, lower cost responses should an issue arise.
3. NERC Compliance a. The new control system will be compliant with NERC CIP and PRC standards from the beginning. Upgrading
the relaying, excitation, and generator controls will allow for reduced maintenance frequencies and cost to maintain compliance with NERC Standard PRC-005, Testing and Maintenance of Protective Systems. The new control system will also be compliant with NERC Cyber Security Standards. Locating, understanding, and reporting equipment malfunctions to NERC will be much more accurate and reduce HBPW’s non-compliance risk.
4. Digital Relaying and Excitation a. TTS has included in their proposal Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories digital generator protective relaying.
These new relays will replace dozens of electro-mechanical relays with a couple of modules. The new relays will be capable of trending sequences of events and recording what happened should a disturbance occur on the electrical grid and cause a generator issue. This ability will increase the ease of NERC compliance.
5. Operator & Technician Training a. This project has included training for operators, technicians and plant staff. The visual user interface of the
new turbine control system will improve operator’s and technician’s ease of operating and working on the turbine generators.
6. Life Cycle Points of Note a. The existing control system will have lasted 22 years at the time of the upgrade. b. Unit 7 and Unit 8 Turbine Generators have an anticipated remaining life of 20+ years based on the life of
peaking Unit 6. c. The new control system is anticipated to last 20+ years. d. The original control system on Unit 6 lasted 26 years. e. The TTS control system installed in Unit 6 is 12 years old now.
The bids were evaluated on contractor experience, equipment evaluation, proposal detail, completeness, and cost.

13.544 Real Property Purchase
Board of Public Works report was presented advising that this recommendation is for the procurement of additional real properties that will comprise the area identified as the home to the community’s newest electric generating resource. While the Atmospheric Processing, Inc. property will provide a significant portion of the footprint needed for the power plant project, additional properties are required to meet design requirements. Each Offer of Just Compensation (OJC) was prepared by the City Attorney with appraisal services provided by Van Noord and Associates. Each residential property that is owner occupied is provided an additional 25% compensation as required by statute. If a residential owner was willing to commit to our offer within 30 days, an Offer of Compromise (OC) equal to 15% of the OJC was given as an incentive. For commercial properties the OJC is the appraised value of the property and the OC equals 5% of the OJC. Relocation expense reimbursement is provided as required by Michigan law. Please note that additional OJC’s will be brought to the Board as they are executed by property owners. It was recommended to approve the included Offers of Just Compensation, as prepared by the City Attorney, for several parcels of land. Additionally, provide authorization for the Mayor and Deputy City Clerk to sign each Offer of Just Compensation.

Planning Commission
13.545 Rezoning of 51 and 61 Country Club Road from the R-1 One Family Residential District to the PRD Planned Residential Development District with Final Reading to be held on October 16, 2013
Planning report was presented advising that Covenant Development LLC has requested that 51 and 61 Country Club Road be rezoned from the R-1 One Family Residential District to the PRD Planned Residential Development District. This property comprises the uplands area of the old Holland Country Club and is approximately 25 areas in size. The applicant requests the rezoning of the subject properties to the PRD District in order to create a 68 unit zero-step residential condominium community with clubhouse, pool and associated amenities. The applicant has also requested and the Planning Commission has conditionally approved the Villas of Holland Development Plan through a Resolution describing the plan as approved with a variety of conditions. However, said Plan approval by the Planning Commission is only valid if City Council approves the requested rezoning. The Villas of Holland Development Plan is briefly described and summarized with the following:
- Sixty-eight (68) single-family “zero step” attached dwelling units in the form of fifteen 4-unit buildings and four 2-unit buildings.
- One clubhouse and outdoor pool and patio area. - Overall proposed residential density of 2.73 dwelling units to the acre (gross), and 3.78 dwelling units per acre
(net, minus wooded ravine area). - 6.9 acre private woodland preserve. - Private street system that will align with Legion Park Drive at the Country Club Road intersection. It was
recommended that the intersection become a four-way STOP (requires subsequent traffic control order approval from Council).
- Public sidewalk/trail access to the Ottawa County Macatawa Greenspace via a dedicated easement to the City. On September 10, 2013 the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed rezoning. There were six residents that spoke during the public hearing and four letters were received and entered into the public record. Numerous questions were posed by area residents and Commissioners to the applicant and staff primarily regarding drainage and water quality issues and soil geo-technical issues. The Planning Commission then tabled any action on the proposed rezoning and development plan until the September 24 meeting to provide staff and the applicant adequate time to provide answers to the various questions and to finish work on the Resolution that is meant to govern
6
the many aspects of the Plan. During the September 24 meeting, the applicant provided answers to several questions that were posed from the previous meeting. Staff reviewed their reports and recommendations and reviewed a proposed Resolution regarding the Villas of Holland development plan. The Commission then allowed additional public comment regarding the proposed rezoning and development plan. Comments included making sure the developer provides adequate landscaping and buffering around the site and its perimeter; encouraged use of stormwater best management practices; questions regarding the impacts on area street and utility infrastructure and impacts on property values; a statement that one resident had visited the developers’ Villas at Rivertown development and is supportive of this request; and comments that PRD zoning should not be used for this development and it should not be approved. The Commission also received several letters that were entered into the record. The Planning Commission then noted the detailed staff report that recommends approval of the proposed rezoning. Following Commission discussion, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend the rezoning to City Council. Their conditional approval of the Development Plan followed their approval of the rezoning recommendation. It was recommended by the Planning Commission that City Council accept and placed on first reading the proposed zoning ordinance amendment to rezone 51 and 61 Country Club Road from the R-1 One Family Residential District to the PRD Planned Residential Development District with the final reading to be held on October 16, 2013 Council regular meeting.

City Manager
13.547 Downtown Parking Operations & Maintenance Assessment – Resolution to Schedule Public Hearing on Assessment for October 16, 2013
City Manager report was presented advising that following is a report required by Section 15.10 and 15.11 of the City Charter regarding the annual special assessments for operating and maintaining City-owned and leased off-street parking facilities in the Downtown area. The parking assessment district includes properties within 400 feet of a public parking lot and generally within the area bounded by 5
th Street on the north, Columbia Avenue on the east, 11
th Street on the south,
and Pine Avenue on the west. The parking assessment policy as amended in 2008 changes the base formula from a building’s front footage to its square footage. 5% of the base assessment is then levied for each upper level that is vacant or used for storage; 60% for upper levels used for offices; 100% for upper levels used for retail or restaurants; and 15% for upper levels used for overnight sleeping rooms in a hotel or inn. Non-profit uses, unless otherwise exempted by the policy, are assessed at a rate that is 50% of the typical assessment. Residential uses are exempt in the revised policy. The policy provides a $100 credit against the assessable amount for each private parking space provided; up to 70% of the total assessment. The amount assessed during FY2013 was $181,248.51 (base first floor square footage rate of $.322) a 3% increase over the previous year. The assessment for FY2014 begins with a base first floor square footage rate of $.330 and the total assessment is $188,182.79. The assessment will apply to 146 properties. The increased total amount is due to an approximate 3% adjustment to revenue and adjustments to property uses changed within the past year. This percentage increase has been the practice over the recent past in order to avoid large periodic increases. It was recommended that City Council adopt a resolution scheduling a public hearing for October 16, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at City Hall to consider the final roll for Downtown Parking Operations and Maintenance Assessment; and that the Deputy City Clerk be instructed to publish and mail the required notices.

13.548 Downtown Principal Shopping District (PSD) Assessment – Resolution to Schedule Public Hearing on Assessment for October 16, 2013
City Manager report was presented advising that following is the report required by Section 15.10 and 15.11 of the City Charter regarding the annual special assessments for the Principal Shopping District (PSD). The PSD was created by ordinance in 1998 with the purpose of providing a comprehensive, coordinated approach to promotional activities in the downtown as well as a stable funding mechanism for these activities. The PSD assessment policy, as approved by City Council, is based on building square footage and the assessment rates for FY 2014 are proposed to be the same as for FY 2013. The FY 2013 assessment generated $181,080.19 in revenues and the FY 2014 assessment will generate $179,733.20. This assessment will include 178 properties.
Assessment Per Square Foot Core first floor $.22 Upper floor retail or restaurant .22 Upper floor other uses .08 Edge first floor .14 Upper floor retail or restaurant .14 Upper floor other uses .08
On September 18, 2013, the City Council held the public hearing of necessity and approved the necessity of this assessment and directed the development of the final assessment roll. It was recommended that City Council adopt a resolution scheduling a public hearing on the final roll for the Downtown Principal Shopping District Assessment for Wednesday, October 16, 2013, at 7:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers at City Hall; and that the Deputy City Clerk be instructed to publish and mail the required notices.

13.549 Downtown Snowmelt Operations Assessment – Resolution to Schedule Public Hearing on Assessment for October 16, 2013
City Manager report was presented advising that following is the report required by Section 15.10 and 15.11 of the City Charter regarding the annual special assessments for operating and maintaining the downtown snowmelt system. In accordance with the snowmelt policy, assessments are levied against any properties receiving direct or incremental benefit from the system. The assessment area includes properties along both sides of 8th Street from Maple Avenue to Columbia Avenues. In 2006, the area was expanded to include the properties along both sides of River Avenue between 7th and 12th Streets that have snowmelt beneath the adjacent sidewalk. Some of these River Avenue properties had new snowmelt constructed as part of the River Avenue improvement project. Other properties had been linked to a private boiler system and are now connected to the public system. During the spring of 2009, the snowmelt system was expanded to 7th Street between College and Columbia Avenue and along College and Columbia between 7th and 8th Street. This extension primarily serves the new Downtown Parking Deck, the sidewalk on the north side of 7
th Street; and
the sidewalk that connects the 8th Street Plaza. The snowmelt assessments are all based on property front footage and
there are two (2) front footage rates that are applied within the assessment area. The first rate is for properties adjacent to sidewalks and streets that have snowmelt beneath them. This applies primarily to properties along 8th Street. The second rate is for properties adjacent to sidewalks that have snowmelt, but the adjacent street does not. These properties are primarily along Pine, River, 7
th Street and along the avenues between 7
th and 9
th Street. The snowmelt system also
serves a number of public spaces such as downtown parking lots and deck, the large circle area of the 8th Street Market Place, the parking lots and parking deck behind the Police / Court Complex on 8th Street, and radiant floor heat in the Police Complex. These areas are not special assessed, but are charged a lump sum annual fee based on a per square foot cost. The proposed rate for FY 14 is $.2233 per square foot. This is 5% above the FY 13 rate. The FY 14 front footage rate for snowmelt provided beneath sidewalks and streets is proposed to be $14.0514, a 5% increase from the FY 13 rate, primarily due to anticipated increased energy costs and the need bring fund revenues more in-line with expenses. The FY 14 rate for snowmelt provided beneath only sidewalks is proposed to be $4.6799 which is about 1/3 of the base rate. This is also a 5% increase above the FY 13 rate. The total assessed amount is $109,525.79. There are 135 properties in this special assessment district. On September 18, 2013, the City Council held the public hearing of necessity and approved the necessity of this assessment and directed the development of the final assessment roll. It was recommended that City Council adopt a resolution scheduling a public hearing on the Downtown Snowmelt Operations Assessment Roll for Wednesday, October 16, 2013, at 7:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers at City Hall; and that the Deputy City Clerk be instructed to publish and mail the required notices.

13.550 2014 City Calendar – Printing Bid Approval
City Manager report was presented advising that on September 5, 2013, bids were solicited for printing and mailing services of 10,000 City calendars (2014). Four (4) bids were received. Council approval of the low bid from Holland Litho Services at a cost of $6,778.15 plus approximate postage costs of $2,720 for a total cost of $9,498.15 is requested. Results are as follows:
Bidder Printing 10,000 units Mailing Services Total Holland Litho Serv. $6,436 $342.15 $6,778.15 Spartan Graphics $7,050 $395.00 $7,445.00 Grandville Printing $6,543 $643.00 $7,186.00 The Printery $8,258 $587.00 $8,845.00
The 2013 budget for the calendar was $9,000.00. $6,937.00 was spent, not including postage. The 2014 budget for the calendar is $9,000.00. As noted above, $6,778.15 will be spent representing a decrease of $158.85. Postage will be an additional cost. Based on the estimates for mailing 8,500 pieces, the cost of postage is anticipated to be in the range of $ .28 to $ .32 per piece. This totals between $2,380 and $2,720 for the actual postage, for a projected maximum grand total of $9,498.15. Funds for the calendar are paid from the Solid Waste Fund. Our plan is to have the calendar at the printer by no later than October 4, 2013. It was recommended that City Council approve the bid from Holland Litho Services for the printing and mailing of 2014 City calendars at a cost of $6,778.15 plus estimated postage costs of $2,720 for a total cost of $9,498.15 for a total cost to be paid from the Solid Waste Fund.

13.551 Calendar Year 2014 Rental Housing Program Fee Schedule Adjustments
City Manager report was presented advising that Council is being requested to approve a new fee structure for the City’s Rental Housing program. Typically all City Fees for Services are approved by City Council in one motion later in the calendar year. However, this year, staff is asking City Council to address the Rental Fees as a separate motion to ensure that staff has sufficient time to distribute the annual rental Invoices to the appropriate billing parties as well as address ongoing issues with multiple re-inspections. This distribution normally occurs at the end of October. Included is the proposed Rental Housing Schedule of Fees for calendar year 2014. Staff is requesting increases to several of the fees associated with the City’s Rental program. These increases are needed to fully fund and staff the City’s Rental program, including rental inspectors, support staff, prosecution and overhead costs as discussed at your September 25, 2013 Study Session. Specifically, the following fees are proposed to be increased:
- The Comprehensive Annual Rental Fee for the first dwelling unit will be increased to $150 and the fee for additional dwelling units will be increased to $55 (units on one property). This means that the owner of a single family rental will pay $150 a year to be in the rental business and the owner of a two family rental will pay $205 a year to be in the rental business.
- The re-Inspection fees are being doubled to $200 for the first re-inspection, $400.00 for the second re-inspection and $600 for the third re-inspection. These increases are being implemented to better deal with landlords who continually violate our housing codes and require more attention from City staff.
- Staff is introducing a new administrative fee to cover the costs when we must engage the City Attorney on repetitive problem properties. This fee is $600 and will work to cover the costs of the City Attorney.
It was recommended that City Council approve the proposed fee schedule for the Calendar Year 2014 Rental Housing Program Fee Adjustments as discussed at the City Council study session on September 25, 2013.

13.552 Windmill Island Gardens Fundraising Report and Capital Pledges from the City of Holland and Holland Charter Township
City Manager report was presented advising that The City Council reviewed the following report at the pre-Council meeting on September 18, 2013 and referred to the September 25, 2013 Study Session for review and discussion. On September 25, 2013, the following questions were discussed:
1. Does the City Council want to allocate some of the new Legacy Funds to the Windmill Island Strategic Plan realization (a share of $600,000); and
2. What percentage of the above target should be the City of Holland’s responsibility and what portion should be shared with Holland Charter Township?
The information below is intended to answer these questions for Council consideration. The Township Manager and Township Supervisor concur with the cost share model as recommended in this report. The City Council approved a Windmill Island Gardens Strategic Plan on February 20, 2013 inclusive of three (3) parts:
DeZwaan Windmill and Dutch Artifacts Restoration $ 825,000 Pathways to DeZwaan from South 450,000 Bridge and Paths across the Macatawa River 850,000
Total $2,125,000
City Council approved a consulting services agreement with John Nordstrom to assist with a Windmill Island Gardens fundraising campaign on May 15, 2013. Activity has been robust. The State of Michigan is now preparing a grant. As of September 18, 2013, the status of the fundraising campaign is as follows:

More Fundraising Needed per Each Strategic Plan Element:
The number highlighted in yellow above of $600,000 is the reason for this Study Session. We arrived at this number for several reasons:
1. It is less than originally expected by each of the municipalities; 2. It recognizes that significant fund-raising already occurred; 3. It is within the means of both Holland Charter Township and the City of Holland; 4. It is thought that this use of Legacy Funds for a City of Holland icon like Windmill Island Gardens is appropriate
as per prior Council discussions about the use of Legacy Funds; 5. Cost sharing these generational improvements will be good for intergovernmental cooperation; these
improvements will figuratively and literally bring our communities closer together; and 6. This is a lower Legacy Fund amount than was once thought to be necessary.
I met with Don Komejan, Township Manager today and looked at three models to divide up the pro-rata shares of this $600,000. Our conclusion is to recommend a model that has each community splitting the bridge costs to the north at 50% each and sharing 25% of the connecting pathway costs in the other’s community. The path work in the City that would be cost shared would be the City’s southern entrance onto Windmill Island Gardens. The path work in Holland Charter Township that would be cost shared includes the pathway from the Bridge to Scott’s Drive. The total percentage to each than becomes a 59% to 41% split respectively -- based on the amount of work in each other’s community.
This breaks down into a possible City Share of $357,000 and a Holland Charter Township share of $243,000. (These numbers assume fundraising will provide for another $725,000 and no Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant as noted more above.)
Alternative Cost Share Models:
An alternative formula would have the City and Township to share 50% on the bridge and nothing else. This would lead to a 62%/38% split of the total dollars needed to do this bridge and pathway project as per a spreadsheet to be provided at the meeting. A final alternative is to share the bridge and connecting walkways 50% for both. This would lead to a 56%/44% cost share. You can see that the recommended share of 59% - 41% above is in-between the above two approaches and is therefore recommended. (The total estimated Legacy Fund balance as of June 30, 2014 is currently $1,143,435.) It is recommended that City Council accept the Windmill Island Gardens Fundraising report as information; as per cost sharing with Holland Charter Township according to the 59% to 41% model; and as per the three-year pledge programs (and other fundraising activities) to secure the remainder of $725,000.

13.553 Technology Services – Bids for Video Server City Manager report was presented advising that bids have been requested for an Ultra Nexus video server and PEG Vault video appliance as part of the Fiscal Year 2014 budget. This equipment will dramatically improve the workflow and efficiency of the City’s public television broadcasting. This new server will allow staff to record video directly into the broadcast system, pull real time content (weather, news, etc.) from the internet, and stream video back to the web. It will also give staff the ability to better brand City channels with the logo on the screen and a lower graphic to display what is playing. Most importantly, the system provides the ability to broadcast live video, making the system extremely portable. One bid was received for this equipment and this was from BlueWater Technologies in the amount of $18,584.55. This equipment will be funded through the public television fund. It was recommended that City Council accept the bid received from BlueWater Technologies in the amount of $18,584.55 for the public television equipment described in this report; and that this equipment be funded through the CATV Public Access TV Fund.

13.554 City Hall – Bids for Parking Lot Improvements
City Manager report was presented advising that on September 26, 2013, the City of Holland’s Transportation Department opened bids for the construction project referenced above. A total of two (2) bids were received. The engineer’s estimate for the entire project was $82,043. The following is a summary of the bids:
Company City Hall Lot Herrick District Library Lot
Bid Alternate #1 11
th St. Driveway
Improvements 1. Black Gold Transport, Inc.
$45,097.85 $25,391.50 $7,550.00
2. Michigan Paving & Materials
$45,808.96 $33,660.31 $13,580.00
Work at the City Hall parking lot will include milling and resurfacing the HMA pavement within the lot, reconstruction of two (2) of the catch basin inlets and restoration around these two (2) inlets with pervious concrete. Two (2) existing catch basins will remain, as they appear to be in good condition and the two (2) new catch basins will be leaching type. Work under bid alternate #1 includes some rework of the 11
th Street driveway approach to improve drainage and the ride quality
of the approach. Work at the Herrick District Library parking Lot will include milling and resurfacing the HMA pavement within the lot. There is one (1) area, near the drop box, where there appears to be some underlying distress in the pavement. The work does include a provision to address that area. Both lots will be finished off with new pavement markings. While more bidders for the project would have been welcome, staff believes the bids received were both fair and competitive. HMA pricing can vary significantly depending on a number of factors including the price of oil and even though we may have a more favorable bidding environment this coming spring, Interim Director of Transportation Services Dept. Brian White recommends that the City proceeds with the project, including the bid alternate, this fall to avoid a possible increase in HMA pricing this spring. Herrick District Library is in agreement with recommendation and City staff plans to invoice them for their share of the project at completion. A budget for the project is included which includes the Herrick District Library’s contribution as well as the contribution from the City. It was recommended that City Council award the City Hall and Herrick District Library Parking Lot Resurfacing project to the low bidder Black Gold Transport, Inc. in the amount of $78,039.35; that the Mayor and Deputy City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary documents on behalf of the City; that the included budget be approved; and the project be funded as indicated above.

City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Public Hearing – Revocation of the Public Lodging License for the Economy Inn, 409 US 31 South Summary A new Public Hearing on the revocation of this Public Lodging License was set for the November 6, 2013 meeting. A new inspection was conducted on October 31, 2013. Attached is the revised list of previous violations found at this property. Seventeen (17) out of eighty (80) rooms were found to be in compliance. Background On December 11, 2012, an inspection was conducted of the entire Economy Inn facility. On December 14, 2012, a 22 page violation letter was issued. Since then, progress on correcting the violations has been spotty at best. Plumbing permit 130051 for fixture replacement has expired without final inspection. Police calls continue, and the rooms remain deteriorated, filthy, and insect infested. Several follow‐up inspections have been conducted where some corrections have been made but full compliance has not been achieved. After review of the file regarding the licensing of the Economy Inn at 409 NB US 31 and the lack of progress on compliance with our ordinances, the Department of Community and Neighborhood Services came to the conclusion that there is no choice but to suspend the public lodging license for the Economy Inn at 409 NB US 31. Notice of this suspension (attached) was served to the owner on August 29, 2013. On September 18, 2013, City Council scheduled a public hearing for October 16 to hear public comments and to consider the revocation of the public lodging license. Another facility inspection conducted on October 9, 2013 revealed numerous violations and unsanitary conditions persist. A communication to the owner including a nine‐page list of outstanding violations is attached. In addition, during this period, police calls have persisted. A copy of the list of police calls is also attached.
8A
Section 17‐20 of the Holland City Ordinance describes the appeal process. This public hearing has been scheduled at the request of the property manager, to appeal the decision to suspend the license and avoid revocation of the license by City Council. Recommendation It is recommended that City Council revoke the Public Lodging License for the Economy Inn at 409 NB US‐31 and direct the City Manager to take the appropriate actions to post the motel for no occupancy until 100% compliance is achieved.

City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: On‐Street Overnight Trial Parking Program Summary Since City Council gave the directive to move forward with an overnight on‐street parking program for the summer of 2014, discussions have been occurring with staff and others on the best way to implement this. Following is a summary of where we stand with the various elements of the pilot program.
1. Ordinance revisions: Attached is a proposed ordinance change that will allow certain
vehicles to park on the street overnight from May 15 – September 30, 2104.
a. May 15 will avoid potential conflicts with Tulip Time. The September date will
create challenges for Hope College students who will be able to park on the
street for 4 or 5 weeks of school and then not thereafter.
b. Only licensed and operable passenger vehicles, motorcycles and trucks not
exceeding 2 tons (consistent with zoning ordinance language) can park on the
streets overnight.
c. Since this is a pilot program, the ordinance terminates on September 30, 2014.
2. Signs: Also attached are the proposed signs that will be located at the 30 +/‐ entrances
to the City and the between 15 and 20 signs defining the downtown no‐parking zone.
These signs will be placed at entry points to the downtown. It is estimated that it will
cost about $10,000 to make and install the signs.
3. Staff work: Assistant City Manager Greg Robinson has met with streets, planning and
police staff to review their comments and what changes they may need to make in
order to conduct their work.
4. Committees: Greg has also reviewed the overnight parking plans with the Downtown
Development Authority (DDA), Neighborhood Improvement Committee (NIC) and City
Planning Commission. The DDA is fine with the plans, provided that much of the
downtown is excluded (map attached). There were mixed comments from the NIC, but
they were asked only for comments, not to vote on the matter. The primary reasons for
9A
meeting with these groups were to be sure they are aware of the plans and to provide
an opportunity to comment.
5. Timing: The intent is to have Council approve the ordinance revision in
October/November 2013, so that it is effective by the end of 2013. This will provide
staff the time to order the signs, install them and provide information to the public.
6. Public information: Staff has not defined the details of this yet, but an information
campaign will need to be conducted in the spring and then again in fall 2014.
7. Evaluation Criteria: This is the most subjective element of the program. Some possible
criteria could be –
a. Comparison of the number of tickets issued.
b. Police activity.
c. Citizen comments.
d. Staff comments.
e. Hope College comments.
f. Neighborhood Improvement Committee comments.
g. Observations of the number of cars parked on the street and whether this is a
positive or negative.
Recommendation It is recommended that City Council place on First Reading an ordinance that will allow a pilot overnight on‐street parking program from May 15, 2014 through September 30, 2014; provided that the described downtown area be excluded.

PLANNING COMMISSION CITY HALL
HOLLAND, MICHIGAN
Planning Commission Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Rezoning of 51 and 61 Country Club Road from the R‐1 One Family Residential
District to the PRD Planned Residential Development District with Final Reading to be held on November 6, 2013
Summary
The Report provided to the City Council previously for the October 16 meeting remains the appropriate background and recommendation. That recommendation is provided again below. At the Planning Commission’s October 22 meeting, the Commission voted to amend the Resolution approving the development plan for the project in two areas following further work with staff on drainage issues and in accordance with the developer’s willingness to further limit the number of rentals that could be occurring within the development at any one time. The revised Resolution as approved is attached. Those amendments are found in Section 4.i.5 regarding Surface Water Drainage and Section 4.r regarding the Rental of Dwelling Units. This is provided for Council information but requires no further action. Additional information A number of further questions and comments were raised during the Public Hearing at the last Council meeting. Answers are provided below:
1. One individual voiced that the PRD Planned Residential Development District should not be used in this case when seemingly nothing would prohibit land development pursuant to the existing R‐1 District requirements. This is a rationale that has been raised before yet it does not push the developer or the Planning Commission and City Council to work together for a more refined level of land development that will provide better outcomes for all players, be them the developer, adjacent property owners, residents that will live in the new development and the larger City. An example of this in the Villas of Holland plan is allowing a transfer of development rights from the seven (7) acre wooded ravine area to the other area of the site. The PRD zoning process provides a legal means for the preservation of the high slope environmentally sensitive wooded area that has a high public benefit, while also
10A
providing a legal means and economic incentive to the developer to preserve the seven (7) acre wooded area by being able to build the dwelling units on other areas of the site.
The PRD rezoning and specifically the development plan process also provides the City with an opportunity to request certain amenities such as a public pedestrian connection to the Ottawa County park, storm water quality improvements that exceed the base Ottawa County drainage standards, additional landscaping requirements, etc., that otherwise we could not realistically request of the developer through a customary subdivision plat approval procedure.
2. Another comment spoke to a potential “bait and switch” scenario where the land owner
or developer promises one thing, and does another. While many of us believe that happened, albeit due to changing residential market conditions 5‐6 years ago with a certain PRD development on 16th Street, that scenario cannot take place now with this Villas of Holland project unless the City allows it.
What does that mean?
If the PRD zoning is approved, thereby validating the development plan that has already been approved by the Planning Commission, the land owner (Macatawa Bank) and the developer (Covenant Development) are locked into building the development as approved. If for some reason development does not commence, and the development plan expires after 18 months of non‐activity, then the land remains zoned PRD District. This is the point in this scenario where some residents get anxious because any other developer theoretically can pick up the property and make application to the Planning Commission for any permitted use in the PRD District, which allows everything from single family detached homes to high‐density apartments. The residents are worried that a future Planning Commission may not be as sensitive to adjacent residents as the existing Commission, and they are worried that the Commission may view itself as having its hands tied regarding allowable uses, because the PRD District says the full range of residential uses are permitted. While theoretically this scenario could occur, staff submits that a future Planning Commission if not legally bound to only allow the same or very similar permitted uses per the original approval, is certainly duty bound to do the same and not to do an end run around the original approvals and the Master Planning designations for this area. Additionally, should the development plan expire without any activity having taken place, the Planning Commission and/or City Council carry a large “hammer” as they have the ability to initiate the rezoning of the subject property back to the R‐1 District, therefore compelling adherence to the City’s approved vision for development in this area.
3. Another individual questioned the proposed housing density, believing it is too high for
the site and the density allowance being considered is flawed as it is based on an R‐1 District “by‐right” plan that inflates the number of dwelling units that can actually be built on the site.
Staff and the Planning Commission reviewed the R‐1 District “by‐right” subdivision plan that the developer submitted early in the review process to help guide the Planning Commission in establishing the allowable housing density for this site. That plan (it is in the developer’s narrative information) covers the entire site with residential lots and streets/right‐of‐ways, which is completely allowable under the R‐1 District zoning and the City Subdivision Ordinance. The developer came up with 71 lots, which over the subject 25 acres, equates to 2.72 dwelling units per acre. While staff did not do a comprehensive and exhaustive review of this by‐right plan, we did spend a considerable amount of time reviewing it for compliance with the R‐1 District requirements and those of our Subdivision Ordinance. The “by‐right” plan exercise provided the Planning Commission with a housing density target of 2.72 dwelling units per acre that they were comfortable with and was ultimately recommended to City Council.
4. Another individual discussed saving the trees on the developable portion of the
property and asked that the rezoning be denied so as to save the trees and hopefully work with another developer that would fully integrate the existing trees into a development plan.
Hundreds of trees will be permanently saved from development loss in the seven (7) acre wooded ravine area by allowing the developer to transfer development rights from that area to the more developable area of the site. Note: The City does not have a local tree removal ordinance that applies to private property. Private property owners have the right to remove trees on their own property with the possible exception of tree removal in regulated wetland areas. Please also take note of the many trees and other vegetation that will be planted by the developer.
5. A couple of individuals noted that the Outdoor Discovery Center Macatawa Greenway made an offer on the property a year or so ago and the owner turned it down. The impression was given that if the ODCMG would have been successful in acquiring the property, that there then would have been more open space on the site and it may have developed in a totally different character. Staff believes the rationale of some residents who bring this point up then follows that if City Council denies this PRD rezoning, that the current owner may then be more willing to accept another offer from the ODCMG, thus assuring a different character of development that some area residents would rather see. The City Council does not control the sale of this private property. This commentary is not meant to rebut the October 16th public hearing comments, yet it is meant to provide Council members with the rationale and criteria used by the Planning Commission and supporting staff in reviewing this development.
Recommendation It is recommended that City Council adopt the proposed zoning ordinance amendment rezoning 51 and 61 Country Club Road from the R‐1 One Family Residential District to the PRD Planned Residential Development District as recommended by the Planning Commission.

HOLLAND, MICHIGAN
To: Mayor Dykstra and the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: WWTP Secondary Clarifier No. 5 Repairs
OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT Introduction: This recommendation is for the transfer of funds from contingency for the emergency repair of the drive on Secondary Clarifier No. 5 at the Holland Area Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Recommendation: Approve a transfer from contingency in the amount of $33,618. Description: Secondary Clarifier No. 5 is one of four units that provide settlement of solids following aeration at the WWTP’s West Plant. Solids that are settled in the clarifier are moved by a rake arm supported and moved by a drive assembly on the center column of the clarifier. The rake arm assembly is equipped with suction lines that draw up sludge from the bottom of the tank as necessary for the biological process. If solids are not handled in this manner, they will accumulate at the bottom of the tank where they go septic and/or overflow the weirs, upsetting the treatment process. In late August, the rake arm on Secondary Clarifier No. 5 was found to have failed and the tank was taken out of service. Initially the failure was suspected to be a shear pin failure and a replacement pin was ordered. When the drive was placed back into service with the new shear pin in early September, it was quickly noted that the problem was more severe. At that time Allied Mechanical was called to the site to remove the drive for further investigation. The removed drive was found to have a seal failure and badly worn bearings.
14.A.1*
Once the issues with the clarifier were identified the drive was sent to Emerald Tool for repair. The drive was sent to Emerald in early September and returned to the site on October 11th. The drive was reinstalled by the mechanical contractor on October 17th and returned to service by staff on October 18th. Costs associated with the emergency repair are as follows:
Contractor Service Anticipated Cost
Allied Mechanical Removal and Reinstallation of Clarifier Drive
$12,000.00
Emerald Tool Clarifier Drive Repair $21,618.00
Total: $33,618.00
With proper maintenance, the refurbishment of the drive is expected to last 10+ years. Respectfully submitted, David G.

HOLLAND, MICHIGAN To: Mayor Dykstra and the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Special Counsel Services for New Power Plant BUSINESS SERVICES DEPARTMENT Introduction: The HBPW will be directly purchasing equipment and negotiating contracts for the CCGT power plant. The total value of purchases and contracts will exceed $150 million. Recommendation: Enter into a Special Counsel services contract with Barnes and Thornburg LLP, on a time and material basis not to exceed $350,000, to provide legal services for various commercial activities related to the new natural gas fired combined cycle power plant. Description: The HBPW will be making significant purchases and entering into contracts with large firms that have experienced and sophisticated personnel on their side of the contract/purchase order negotiations. Additionally, it is imperative that the coordination of these contracts, warranties and purchase orders is completed in a manner that eliminates any gaps or confusion as to responsibility. To mitigate the overall risk exposure generated by these activities, HBPW staff and the City Attorney recommends engaging an attorney/firm that has demonstrated experience specifically within the electric utility industry and the construction of large power projects. Over the last three months, HBPW staff has interviewed four law firms capable of performing this work. We believe that Barnes and Thornburg provides the best economic and technical solution.

Proposal for Legal Services1. Background: Scope of Engagement
The Holland Board of Public Works (HBPW) has the need of a special counsel(beyond the City Attorney) in connection with the preparation and negotiation ofcertain agreements relating to a new 120 MW gas-fired combined-cyclegenerating facility. More particularly, we understand that the HBPW needsassistance in negotiating and drafting agreements relating to the:
acquisition of the combustion turbine generator (CTG),
acquisition of the steam turbine generator (STG),
acquisition of the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG),
acquisition of other equipment including the transformers, cooling tower,natural gas compressor,
balance of plant engineering, procurement and construction.
The HBPW and the Owner’s Engineer, HDR, are currently engaged in theRFQ/RFP process and the HBPW and HDR will select the vendors andcontractors for negotiation.
For purposes of preparing a preliminary estimate of effort required, Barnes &Thornburg makes the following assumptions regarding the scope of these speciallegal counsel services:
1. In connection with the procurement of identified equipment from aselected vendor, counsel will either be reviewing draft agreementsproposed by each vendor or reviewing each vendor’s comments toHBPW’s purchase order and general and special conditions. Counselwill also be participating in commercial negotiations and undertaking therevision of documents as necessary.
2. It will be Counsel’s responsibility to negotiate the legal/commercialaspects of the agreements to reflect the business understanding ofHBPW as it evolves during each negotiation and as it is communicatedto them by HBPW and its consultants. Counsel will not be responsiblefor the technical specifications, performance standards, permits,insurance requirements, site-related issues, other technical andscheduling project-specific exhibits or for dollar determinations.
3. Counsel’s Phase I task will be to comment on and revise, as necessary,the standard purchase order, general conditions and special conditionsthat are being prepared for acquisition of equipment for this project.
4. Counsel’s Phase II task will be to support the negotiation of equipmentagreements for the acquisition of the CTG, STG and HRSG.
5. Counsel’s Phase III work will be to support the negotiation of otherequipment agreements. The negotiation of these agreements can beexpected to involve fewer steps, be completed in less time, and requireless attorney effort, especially if the equipment is purchased from thesame vendor.
6. Counsel’s Phase IV work will involve the development and negotiation ofthe EPC Agreement.

2. Phase I Task: Comment on and revise, as necessary, the standardpurchase order, general conditions and special conditions that arebeing prepared for acquisition of equipment for this project.
In the first phase of the transaction, Barnes & Thornburg proposes to draft thestandard purchase order, general conditions and special conditions that shouldbe used for the acquisition of equipment for this project. This phase will involvethe following tasks, estimated hours and costs:

In the second phase of the transaction, Barnes & Thornburg will support thenegotiation of equipment agreements for the acquisition of the CTG, STG andHRSG. While we anticipate HPBW using the Barnes & Thornburg-draftedequipment acquisition agreements, we recognize that HBPW may approve theuse of vendor drafted agreement as the negotiations proceed. We estimate thatPhase II will involve the following steps and associated costs:

4. Phase III Task: Support the negotiation of other equipment agreements.
In the third phase of the transaction, Barnes & Thornburg will support thenegotiation of other equipment agreements. The negotiation of theseagreements can be expected to involve fewer steps, be completed in significantlyless time, and hopefully require less attorney time. We estimate that Phase IIIwill involve some of the same tasks as Phase II, but at a fraction of the time andcosts, particularly if HBPW elects to purchase all three turbines from the samemanufacturer:

Firm OverviewAs one of Barnes & Thornburg’s valued clients, you gain access to a firm of morethan 600 legal professionals throughout 12 offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Delaware,Indiana, Los Angeles, Michigan, Minneapolis, Ohio and Washington, D.C. Weare among the 100 largest firms in the nation and have experience in virtually allthe legal practice areas required to do business in today's global marketplace.
The attorneys at Barnes & Thornburg serve clients from more than 50 dedicatedpractice and industry areas. Our main areas of focus include litigation, intellectualproperty, labor and employment, white collar crime, corporate law, governmentalservices and finance, energy, telecommunications, transportation and utilities,environmental, real estate, health care, creditors’ rights and construction law.
ConstructionOur Construction Law Practice Group, which consists of over 85 attorneys,provides legal support for clients that are embarking on, or encountering disputesrelated to, virtually any kind of construction project or facility renovation.
The timely resolution of a legal dispute can determine the success or failure ofany construction project. So while we are more than prepared to go to court foryou, we also understand your need to avoid a prolonged and costly lawsuit. Tothat end, we’ll pursue any and all avenues to help you seek an early agreementon the best terms possible. Often, that means negotiating a favorable settlementon your behalf.
We often resolve construction claims through the use of alternative disputeresolution methods, including mediation and arbitration, and our attorneys alsoserve as construction-related mediators and arbitrators. If litigation is the bestcourse of action, however, we bring a strong track record and formidableresources into court with us.
As effective as we can be at resolving construction disputes, however, we preferhelping you stay out of them in the first place. Thus, as part of a comprehensiveapproach to meeting our clients’ needs, we help them assess their risks andadvise them on their rights, obligations, and options.
In addition, our group provides advice on how best to pursue insurance coveragein the construction claim context and, when necessary, we litigate insuranceclaims on behalf of our construction industry clients against insurancecompanies. We understand legal nuances of late notice provisions, thecomplexity of whether a claim involves covered “property damage” caused by an“occurrence,” and how to determine if potentially applicable policy exclusions orexceptions may apply. We often are able to obtain an insurance funded defenseand/or settlement when construction defect claims are brought against ourclients.
Additional Representative Experience
We recently served as lead counsel for a Michigan general contractor inconnection with construction claims and related insurance coverage issuesarising out of the design, fabrication and installation of a five-story rackingsystem in three large freezer warehouses located in Indiana. Thousands ofpallets of frozen food items were stored in the warehouses; the rackingsystem designed, supplied and installed by our client’s subcontractor wasfailing, and our client became involved in litigation and alternative disputeresolution proceedings involving six parties with claims worth millions ofdollars.

businessobjectives andwhat we view

We helped our client successfully manage these serious claims by activelylitigating the matter, actively pursuing alternative dispute resolution at theappropriate time, and by actively pursuing coverage from insurance carriers.
We succeeded in settling the claim with the primary plaintiff at mediation, andproceeded with litigation against five other parties. We completed tworounds of mediation with parties from four states, and successfully settled allremaining claims. We also successfully concluded a final settlement with ourclient’s insurance carriers to recover most of our client’s defense costs andthe settlement amount paid.
We represented a major consumer appliance company in connection withclaims against its warehouse service provider arising out of the collapse of aroof at a facility located in Pennsylvania. Our investigation revealed that alarge amount of snow and ice had accumulated on the roof, and that this wasa concurrent cause of the roof collapse. We then successfully persuaded thearbitrator to reject the service provider’s argument that it was not liablebecause the roof collapse was also caused by a defect in the roof. Thearbitrator therefore awarded our client approximately $2.4 million, which wasthe majority of the damages sought.
We recently successfully concluded a matter for a Florida client that designsand installs exterior glazing products on high rise buildings. The complexcase involved breach of contract, acceleration, and disruption claims arisingout of the construction of a 28-story apartment building in downtownChicago. We also handled insurance coverage issues related to theseclaims, including litigation that was filed by the insurance company in Florida.
With respect to the construction claims, two separate lawsuits were filedinvolving the project owner, the general contractor, our clients, a primesubcontractor, and our client’s installation subcontractor. After resolvingcomplex procedural hurdles before the courts, the matter proceeded toarbitration before the American Arbitration Association. During thoseproceedings, we were able to settle the construction claims favorably for ourclient, including a significant payment. We then also resolved the insuranceclaims pending in Florida on favorable terms for our client.

BARNES & THORNBURG LLPSTANDARD TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES
This statement sets forth the standard terms upon which Barnes & Thornburg LLP accepts engagements toact on behalf of its clients. Unless modified in writing by mutual agreement, these terms will be an integral part ofour agreement with you. Therefore, we ask that you review this statement carefully and write us promptly if youhave any questions. We suggest that you retain this statement in your file.
Our Client
The person or entity that we represent is the person or entity identified in our engagement letter anddoes not include any affiliates or relatives of such person or entity. This means that, unless we specifically agreeotherwise, we do not have any lawyer-client relationship with your subsidiaries, parent company or other businessentities in a commonly controlled group, nor with your owners, shareholders, members, managers, partners,directors, officers, employees or agents, nor, if you are an individual, with your spouse, children or other familymembers. Therefore, our representation of you will not impair our ability to represent another client with interestsadverse to any such affiliate or family member without obtaining your consent.
Particularly in the case of business entities that are part of complex corporate structures, we are veryfrequently not in a position to determine what entities may be affiliated with a client, or what the nature of thataffiliation may be. So we understand that you agree that we will not have a client relationship with any of youraffiliates as described above, regardless of any internal arrangements for the management and affairs betweenour client and any such affiliate, or any operational commonality among such entities such as consolidatedadministrative services, common in-house legal functions, or any overlapping officers, directorships or ownership.If you have any concerns about this agreement or its implications, you should bring this to our attention forthwith.
The Scope of Our Work
With new clients, we follow the practice of describing the scope of our initial engagement in the letter wesend accepting employment. With existing clients, we may not provide a description as to new matters upon whichwe are asked to provide services depending on the circumstances, but we will always be willing to provide such adescription if asked. In any engagement we will limit our services to those you ask us to perform and those wedeem reasonably necessary to accomplish the requested services. By way of illustration, we will not investigate oropine on claims against third parties or insurance coverage that is or may be available unless it is so stated in ourengagement letter or you have specifically requested that we do so. Where you request specific services or advice orotherwise limit our engagement, we will confine our activities to those limitations. In that event, you shouldunderstand we will not investigate or advise you on other areas of law or potential consequences or issues arisingoutside these parameters. We will likewise limit our engagement and scope of services as requested toaccommodate instructions to avoid incurring costs or to limit the amount of fees we incur. Such limitations mayresult in our not taking steps or performing work that we would otherwise consider advisable.
At times we are asked by our clients to express our opinion as to the outcome of the matters on which weare working. Such evaluations are necessarily limited by our knowledge of the facts and are based on the state of thelaw at the time they are expressed. The outcome of legal matters and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.
Who Will Provide the Services
Customarily, each client of our Firm is served by a principal lawyer contact. The principal lawyer shouldbe someone in whom you have confidence and with whom you enjoy working. You are free to request a change ofprincipal lawyer at any time. Under the supervision of the principal lawyer, your work or parts of it may beperformed by other lawyers and legal assistants in the Firm. This delegation may be for the purpose of involvinglawyers, legal assistants, or other professionals with experience and knowledge in a given area or for the purpose ofproviding services on the most efficient and timely basis. Whenever practicable, we will advise you of the names ofthose lawyers, legal assistants and other professionals who work on your matters.
-2-
Our legal assistants and other professionals are not lawyers but possess training, experience and skills thatenable them to assist our lawyers in discharging their responsibilities. They include law clerks (typically lawstudents), paralegals, lobbyists, investigators, patent agents, research librarians, environmental analysts, translators,draftsmen and other technical (non-legal) specialists.
How Fees Will Be Set
In determining the fees we will charge for the legal services we will render for you, we will consider anumber of factors, including:
The time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skillrequisite to perform the legal services properly;
The amount of money or value of property involved and the results obtained;
The time limitations imposed by you as our client or by the circumstances of the engagement;
The experience, reputation and ability of the lawyers performing the services; and
The likelihood that the employment will preclude other employment by our Firm.
Among these factors, the time and effort required are typically weighted most heavily. We will keep records of thetime we devote to your work, including conferences (both in person and over the telephone), negotiations, courtappearances, factual and legal research and analysis, document preparation and revision, and other related matters.We strongly believe that peer discussion and review is an important element of providing quality services, andso our time records will often reflect discussions between lawyers within our Firm concerning the matters in whichwe have been engaged.
The hourly rates of our lawyers and legal assistants applicable to the type of engagement have an importantbearing on the fees we charge but are not necessarily the sole basis on which those fees are charged. Even wherehourly rates are used as the primary basis of computing our fees, they can and will be adjusted up or down accordingto the circumstances. Our hourly rates are reviewed at least annually and may be changed periodically to reflectcurrent levels of experience of the lawyers and legal assistants involved, changes in overhead costs, and otherfactors. Our statements based on hourly rates will reflect our applicable rates at the date of the statement, regardlesswhen the work covered by the statement was performed.
We are sometimes requested to estimate the amount of fees and costs likely to be incurred in connectionwith a particular matter. Whenever possible we will furnish such an estimate, but always with a clear understandingthat it is not a maximum or fixed fee quotation. The ultimate cost is invariably more or less than the amountestimated.
Other Charges
In representing our clients, there typically are other charges in addition to our fees that we itemizeseparately and bill to them. These include fees charged by government agencies and charges from servicevendors, as well as clerical charges. Typical of such charges are messenger, courier and express delivery charges;photocopying, desktop publishing or printing and reproduction charges; filing fees and charges, including chargesfor electronic filings with governmental agencies and courts; court reporter fees for deposition transcripts and thelike; witness fees; travel expenses; computerized legal research charges; and charges made by outside experts andconsultants, including accountants, appraisers and other legal counsel (unless arrangements have been made for suchoutside experts and consultants to bill the client directly). Certain of these other charges may represent morethan our direct cost to contribute toward covering our overhead expenses. We incur outside charges as agentsfor our clients, who agree that these charges will always be paid on a regular basis. We may require that you paysignificant expenses directly or in advance.
-3-
In some engagements that raise issues of foreign law it is necessary for us or the client to engage foreigncounsel. If we engage foreign counsel on your behalf, we will typically require you to pay us for the foreigncounsel’s anticipated fees and charges before we remit payment to foreign counsel, and potentially before we engagethem. We are not guarantors of the work of foreign counsel nor are we in a position to review the adequacy of theirlegal work or translation of documents. We engage foreign counsel to assist us specifically because we are notlicensed or familiar with the applicable legal system and therefore are not in a position to provide thoselegal services or judge their adequacy. If you wish to participate in the selection of foreign counsel, you may do so.
Terms of Payment
We will bill you on a regular basis, normally each month, for both fees and other charges. We rely on youto pay us promptly. Our fees and charges are due when you receive our statement. Also, if you do not pay us within30 days of our statement or as otherwise agreed, you agree that we may discontinue providing services immediatelyand withdraw from representing you after providing reasonable notice of our intention to do so. After withdrawal,we may pursue collection of your account. You also agree that until we are paid in full on all of your legalmatters, and except to the extent otherwise prohibited or limited by law, we shall have a lien on all papers andfiles in our possession related to any of the matters in which we have represented you, and any property recoveredor obtained as a result of our work on your behalf. You agree to pay the costs of collecting the debt, including courtcosts, filing fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
The Firm also reserves the right in its sole discretion to require an advance deposit at any time basedon past payment history, creditworthiness or other factors that may cause the Firm to conclude it is appropriate to doso.
Advance Deposits
New clients of our Firm will ordinarily be asked to make an advance deposit with the Firm. Existingclients may also be required to provide advance deposits for particular matters if the Firm believes that is appropriateunder the circumstances. Typically, the advance deposit is equal to the fees and other charges likely to be incurredduring a two-month period. The advance deposit is charged for fees and other charges as our legal services areprovided. Regular statements will be furnished to you for purposes of disclosing the fees and other charges whichhave been deducted from the advance deposit and the amount which must be paid to replenish the advance depositto the agreed level. If the advance deposit proves insufficient to cover current fees and other charges on thebasis stipulated, we may request that the balance be increased. At the conclusion of our legal representation or atsuch time as the advance deposit is no longer necessary or is appropriately reduced, the remaining balance ofit will be returned to you.
Any advance deposit we receive from you will be held in our trust account until it is charged for fees andother charges for your account or is returned to you. No interest is paid on amounts held by us in our trust account.In particular, court rules in jurisdictions in which we practice require that interest earned on pooled client trustaccounts is payable to a charitable foundation established in accordance with the court’s rule. While your advancedeposit is held by us in our trust account, it remains your property. However, by making the initial advance depositand by replenishing or increasing it from time to time, you grant us a security interest in the balance of the advancedeposit we hold in our trust account from time to time to secure payment of incurred fees and other charges forwhich you are responsible. You authorize us to apply the deposit to any fees and charges that you owe us for anyservices we have provided.
Other deposits that we receive to cover specific items will also be held by us in our general trust account(without interest) and disbursed as provided in our agreement with you, and you will be notified from time to timeof the amounts applied or withdrawn. Any amount remaining after disbursement will be returned to you.
Waiver of Certain Potential Conflicts of Interest
As you are aware, we have over 500 lawyers and other professionals representing thousands of clients invarious states, so it is foreseeable that our representation of our other clients may be or become directly adverse to
-4-
your interests from time to time in matters on which our firm is not representing you. The Rules of ProfessionalConduct governing lawyers generally prohibit a lawyer or law firm from representing one client in a matter directlyadverse to another client unless the affected clients provide informed consent confirmed in writing. In accordancewith such Rules, by agreeing to our engagement letter, you consent that our Firm may represent any other clients inmatters that are not substantially related to the matters on which we are representing you, even where ourrepresentation of such clients may be or become directly adverse to your interests. For example, suchrepresentations may include advising our other clients (i) on the scope of your property rights, (ii) in transactionswith you or negotiating or interpreting legal documents that affect your rights; (iii) on the existence, assertion ordefense of legal claims against you or that you may have against our other clients; or (iv) on any disputes with you,even in court. You should bear in mind that your consent authorizes us to take on unrelated representations forother parties or entities to whom we are adverse in matters, transactions or disputes on which we representyou. Of course, the foregoing consent does not affect our obligation to protect confidential information you sharewith us in connection with our representation of you and not to use such information to your detriment.
Services We Expressly Do Not Provide

To: Mayor Dykstra and the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Real Property Purchase
BUSINESS SERVICES DEPARTMENT Introduction: This recommendation is for the procurement of additional real properties that will comprise the area identified as the home to the community’s newest electric generating resource. Recommendation: Approve the attached Offers of Just Compensation, as prepared by the City Attorney, for several parcels of land. Additionally, provide authorization for the Mayor and Deputy City Clerk to sign each Offer of Just Compensation. Description: While the Atmospheric Processing, Inc. property will provide a significant portion of the footprint needed for the power plant project, additional properties are required to meet design requirements. Each Offer of Just Compensation (OJC) was prepared by the City Attorney with appraisal services provided by Van Noord and Associates. Each residential property that is owner occupied is provided an additional 25% compensation as required by statute. If a residential owner was willing to commit to our offer within 30 days, an Offer of Compromise (OC) equal to 15% of the OJC was given as an incentive. For commercial properties the OJC is the appraised value of the property and the OC equals 5% of the OJC. Relocation expense reimbursement is provided as required by Michigan law. Please note that additional OJC’s will be brought to the Board as they are executed by property owners.

City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Amendments to Chapter 19: Inappropriate Storage of Items in Unenclosed Areas of Residentially Used Properties Summary Council is being requested to approve an ordinance amendment to chapter 19: Nuisances that will better identify and remedy the inappropriate storage of items on the exterior premises of residentially used properties. This ordinance has been a continuing concern as our Code Enforcement Staff has struggled to adequately respond to resident complaints and concerns when neighbors have taken to utilizing their porch, their yard, their carport, etc. as a place to store various items including: interior household furniture, appliances (if the doors are removed), excess construction materials, and so forth. Earlier this year during city staff’s physical survey of the Central Neighborhood housing stock, staff noticed several properties where the front porches and yards appeared to be used for storage. This storage included used car tires, a piano, and indoor furniture among other items. During the survey, staff was even approached by a resident inquiring if we could get their neighbor to clean the “junk” off their porch. Staff believes this accumulation of stuff results in a less attractive neighborhood. During the development of the “Holland Advantage” document this idea of better regulating outside storage was addressed as it related to front porches under the Property Appearance and Improvement section. This document was shared with City Council at a recent study session. During this same time, City Code Enforcement Staff and the Neighborhood Improvement Committee created the attached ordinance to regulate items not just on the front porch but on all of unenclosed areas on a residentially used property. At their August 21st meeting the Neighborhood Improvement Committee approved a motion by an 8‐2 vote recommending that that City Council adopt the attached ordinance. Recommendation It is recommended that City Council place the proposed ordinance amendment to Chapter 19 on first reading with a final adoption of ordinance on November 20, 2013.

To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Windmill Island Gardens –Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT)
Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) Grant Application for $419,131.24
Summary The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) is a competitive grant program that uses federal transportation funds designated by Congress for specific activities that reduce automobile usage and provide safe alternative transportation options. Each year there is approximately $16.5 million available through a competitive grant process administered by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). With a 71 percent local match, the Windmill Island Gardens Non‐Motorize Bridge and Regional Trail Project will be a competitive grant application to the Michigan Department of Transportation. This project will also be competitive because the trail at Windmill Island Gardens will help create new connections to regional trails, create safe routes for intermodal transportation, benefit state and local tourism, and will provide unique scenic areas of the Island. The trail and bridge project on the Island will also serve as an important trail connector for the Macatawa Greenway Regional Trail, the Lakeshore Trail, and the Beeline Trail. These regional trails will allow pedestrians and riders to travel between Grand Haven, Holland, Saugatuck, Zeeland, and Grand Rapids through non‐motorized paths. A decision on the City of Holland’s grant application to the Transportation Alternatives Program could be expected by January 2014. Recommendation It is recommended that City Council approve a ratification of authorization to submit a grant application to the Michigan Department of Transportation in the amount of $419,131.24 for the Windmill Island Gardens Non‐Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail Project.

Depending on the exact crossing location the bridge will be a clear span bridge or a longer bridge requiring piers in the river and connecting boardwalks. Exact bridge crossing location is dependent on favorable outcomes regarding any necessary property easements. 2. A section of trail will be built on the north side of the river to connect the bridge to Holland Township and to connect the trail system to 68 miles of Holland Township residential bike routes. Connections will be made to Scotts Drive, Roost Avenue or River Hills Drive. A retaining wall and fence may also be needed along this pathway. 3. A 10 foot wide concrete path will be constructed along the entrance causeway into Windmill Island Gardens. A 3 foot high retaining wall will be added to stabilize a section of trail (830 feet long) and a trailhead node will greet guests to the trail. The trail will lead into the Windmill Island Gardens and will connect to existing trails on the island. 4. Window on the Waterfront Trails will be repaired, overlaid, and widened to 10 feet in all areas of the trail. This section of trail will help create a smooth connection to local and regional trails in the west as well as connecting to the Beeline trail in the south. 5. Existing trails on Windmill Island Gardens will be repaved and overlaid with new asphalt. These trails are original to the island and are in desperate need of repair. The new connection through a pedestrian bridge to Holland Township would allow the present pedestrian pathway from Kollen Park, to Window on the Waterfront, and on to Windmill Island Gardens to connect with Holland Charter Township's 68 miles of bike paths. The bridge will allow Holland Charter Township residents increased access to the beauty and history of the Island in a way that promotes healthy recreation and enjoyment of the beauty of the Macatawa River Wetlands. Community members have long dreamed of creating a pedestrian link to the greater Holland area through Windmill Island, making the park more accessible to the region. More than 86,488 residents live in the City of Holland, Holland Township, and Park Township area (2010 Census). Holland Township has recognized the significance of this project to their community and has committed their leadership, time, and financial support to this project since its inception. The bridge will better connect our units of government, people, places, and ideals. The trail and bridge will create a north and south connection between the City of Holland and Holland Township. The connection will also allow residents to travel as far north as Grand Haven by way of the Lakeshore Trail and far south as Saugatuck by way of the Beeline Trail. The addition of a pedestrian bridge will also increase access to existing east and west connections to regional trails eastward reaching Grand Rapids through the Fred Meijer Kenowa Trail and the Windmill Island Gardens connector trail. The creation of a pedestrian link from Downtown Holland into Windmill Island Gardens is also recognized by the community for the many economic and safety benefits it will provide. Windmill Island Gardens was originally designed as a tourist destination with infrastructure for automobile traffic. The new trail along the entrance causeway to Windmill Island Gardens will create new connections to Downtown Holland and to existing trail networks in the region.

The Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail Project will be competitive for Transportation Alternatives Program funding for several important reasons. The trail and bridge project on the Island will serve as an important trail connector for the Macatawa Greenway Regional Trail, the Lakeshore Trail, and the Beeline Trail. These regional trails will allow pedestrians and riders to travel between Grand Haven, Holland, Saugatuck, Zeeland, and Grand Rapids through non-motorized paths (See attached Document 12). The Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail will also benefit state and local tourism. The Windmill Island Gardens is already a popular tourist destination. The trail at Windmill Island Gardens will help make the park a destination for bicycle tourists as well as create new connections reaching in multiple directions. The economic impact of bicycle touring is significant. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has shown that bicycle tourism and recreation contributes more than $925 million to the state economy. The Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail Project will help create regional trail connections that will attract riders seeking an enjoyable scenic ride along with nearby attractions. Historic sites and parks are popular destinations for bicycle tourists. The historic 252 year old Dutch windmill (DeZwaan) is an authentic experience of Dutch history and culture which sees as many as 60,000 visitors a year. The trail at Windmill Island Gardens will create a new connection through the Island allowing visitors to experience a safe, scenic, and quiet ride. The Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Trail will also have significant local benefits for intermodal transportation and the local economy. The Macatawa Area Express (MAX) public bus system currently has nine bus routes, all of which stop within 600 feet of the entrance to the Windmill Island Gardens (see attached Document 13). Public transit riders from the City of Holland, Holland Township, and the City of Zeeland will be able to take advantage of a safe and convenient non-motorized trail that will serve as an important transportation connection for the region and provide greater access to the park. MAX bus users frequently use bicycles along with the public busing system to get to where they are going. 86% of local public transit users take their bike with them on the bus. This high percentage of bike and bus riders shows how important this regional trail connection will be for intermodal transportation and commuter routes. Clark Harder, Executive Director of the Michigan Public Transportation Association said, "People ride public transit to either make money or spend money." The creation of a regional trail connection at Windmill Island Gardens will allow for users of different forms of transportation to get to work or go out and spend money in the local economy. The non-motorized bridge and trail on Windmill Island Gardens will also provide additional views of a highly unique natural area located in the heart of the City. Windmill Island Gardens is a place where the natural conditions of greater Holland cross the quiet natural conditions of the Macatawa River System. The non-motorized bridge and trail will provide additional views of the historic Dutch windmill, Macatawa River, and the wetlands critical to river delta. The new bridge and trail will provide new and better views of the unique natural areas and watershed which would otherwise go unseen. The bridge and pathway will allow residents, tourists, and students a chance to learn and enjoy the wetlands and natural areas in ways they never could before. The addition of new unique scenic views will also have new benefits for tourism at the park.

Please describe:
Proper permits and procedures will be completed by Prein and Newhof, engineers for this project. Permitting for the bridge and trail will include a MDEQ permit for Inland Lakes and Streams. If bridge piers are in the floodway, a Floodplain/Floodway section as well as the Wetlands section will need to be completed as well. This project was reviewed and conceptually approved by Ms. Holly Vickers of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, during a site review with Scott Post of Prein and Newhof and Brian White from the City of Holland Transportation Department. Tree removal will be necessary but will be minor. Anticipated tree removal is for less than twenty trees in the 6 inch to 12 inch diameter range. An environmental report will be conducted on the site along with a review of any potential endangered species. Mitigation measures will be put in place as necessary in order to reduce any potential impacts construction of pathway and bridge may have on potentially endangered species. Mitigation measures will also be taken to reduce the impacts construction will have on the floodplains and wetlands. Property easement acquisition will be needed to build a bridge along the Boar's Head property. Additional options include a 5/6th Street bike path route to Roost Ave and a route West of Boar's Head to River Hills Drive.

Adjacent property owners north of the Macatawa River in Holland Township may experience some impacts from the construction and use of the Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail. Adjacent property owners may be able to see walkers and riders passing by their property on the trail. Property owners may also experience some minor inconvenience during the construction of the northern trail section. Adjacent property owners will be informed of the public input process and will be kept informed of the plans through direct mailings. Property owners will have a chance throughout the process to give their input and express their concerns about the project.

How did you facilitate stakeholder engagement in the development of this project concept and
On August 22, 2012, Mayor Kurt Dykstra of the City of Holland appointed a Windmill Island Gardens Strategic Planning Committee to imagine a 50 year vision for the park and gardens. The committee was made of the following community and civic stakeholders: Jodi Syens, Recreation and Transportation Department Director Dave Hoekstra (City Council) and Nancy DeBoer (City Council) Don Komejan, Holland Charter Township Manager Meghann Reynolds, Holland Township Assistant Planner and Zoning Administrator Gwen Auwerda, Tulip Time Festival, Inc. Sally Laukitis, Convention and Visitors Bureau Gordon Van Wylen, Riverview Group Greg Holcombe, Riverview Group and Macatawa Greenway Bill Johnson, Landscape Architect (and partner with Prein and Newhof engineers on this project) Dale Wyngarden, Retired City Department leader Ex-Officio Members: Kurt Dykstra, Holland City Mayor Ryan Cotton, Holland City Manager Phil Meyer, Holland City Department Director, Community and Neighborhood Services Ad van den Akker, Windmill Island Gardens Manager The committee met on a weekly basis from the end of September until the middle of December in 2012, to discuss plans for making the Island a "Park of Parks" as well the financial plan for the Dutch Windmill on the Island. In order to create a Park of Parks on Windmill Island Gardens, plans were made to make the park more welcoming and more accessible to members of all surrounding communities. During the strategic planning meetings stakeholders discussed how the Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail could best allow members of surrounding communities to enter Windmill Island Gardens from the north and south so they can enjoy all the park has to offer. Don Komejan, the Holland Charter Township Manager has been involved in the development of the trail plans since the beginning of the project. Holland Charter Township will potentially budget $243,000 from the Township's Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 2015 (based on favorable outcomes regarding any necessary property easements, favorable fund raising efforts, and subject to Township Board review and approval). Travis Williams and Greg Holcombe, representatives from the Macatawa Greenway Regional Trail system, have also been involved throughout the planning process for this trail. Public comment was solicited during each of the strategic planning committee meetings (See attached Document 11 for Minutes). A final report was submitted by the committee to the Holland City Council at a regular City Council meeting on February 20, 2013 (See Document 5 and Document 3). The report was accepted as information by the council by a unanimous vote.

The Windmill Island Gardens Strategic Planning Committee received input from the mayor and council, other municipal leaders, and landscape architects. Public comment was solicited during each of the strategic planning sessions held by the committee. The Windmill Island Gardens Strategic Planning Committee received input from committee members who are on staff in Holland Township and the City of Holland. The committee was also made up of members from the community at large who share a desire to see the park opened up to different forms of transportation. The input at these meetings helped shape the outcomes of the final report presented and accepted as information at the February 20, 2013 Holland City Council meeting. The input gathered from these critical stakeholders helped to create a plan that will help make Windmill Island Gardens more accessible through non-motorized methods of transportation from the new northern entrance to the park and the new trail along the existing causeway in the south. The committee helped to shape the vision for the park into a set of clear cut goals that will help to connect Windmill Island Gardens to regional trails and make the park more accessible and more inviting to the entire region. One example of how public input shaped the project concept is that during the public comment session of a committee meeting a member of the community suggested making the entrance to the bridge connector trail as inviting as possible. As a result of this input, a trailhead node will be added at the northern and south entrance to the Windmill Island Gardens Trail.

The Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail Project will act as an important connector piece to the Macatawa River Greenway Regional Trail system. The Windmill Island Gardens Trail will help create new connections going north and south as well as east and west (See attached Document 12). The Regional Trail Network Map shows existing connections and planned connections that will allow area residents and visitors to travel as far as Grand Haven in the north and Saugatuck in the South through Windmill Island Gardens. The map also shows how pedestrians and bikers will be able to travel from Grand Rapids in the east all the way to Lake Michigan in Holland's Park Township in the west. The City of Holland and Holland Township are both in the process of updating the Parks and Recreation 5 year Master Plan and will contain the Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail Project as a top priority goal for the new Community Parks and Recreation Master Plan (please see attached Document 8). Holland Charter Township has the following draft language for the 2014 Community Parks and Recreation Plan, "Work in partnership with the City of Holland to develop and construct a north/south non-motorized pathway and bridge connection from Windmill Island Gardens in the City, north across the Macatawa River, to connect with Scotts Drive or Roost Avenue in Holland Township." The City of Holland Parks and Recreation plan will have identical language as well and will work in close partnership on this project. The Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail Project began as a plan to develop boardwalks on Windmill Island with overlooks adjacent to the Macatawa Greenway Trail as well as create non-motorized trails into the Island. Over the years the vision was refined to provide new linkages to Holland Township and Grand Haven in the north and Downtown Holland and Saugatuck in the south. The 2010 Community Parks and Recreation Master Plan contains the following goals and potential actions as it relates to this project (Also see attached Document 7, 2010 Community Parks and Recreation Master Plan Goals and Objectives): GOAL: Develop new parks and recreational facilities to further expand the standards and range of the recreational opportunities available to City and area residents. Objectives:. * Provide trail linkages and greenways between existing and new properties and residential areas. Objectives: * Develop continuous waterfront walkway from Kollen Park to Window-on-the-Waterfront and Windmill Island, extending to the east City boundary at Paw Paw Park. Potential Actions: * Develop overlook areas adjacent to the bike path along Lake Macatawa. * Develop greenbelt/riverwalk along Macatawa River (Macatawa Greenway). * Develop boardwalk from Window-on-the-Waterfront and Downtown area to Windmill Island. GOAL: Preserve, protect, and improve natural, scenic, or environmentally sensitive areas for appropriate public use and enjoyment and habitat protection. Potential Actions: * Develop appropriate pedestrian and non-motorized access along the Macatawa River and within the Macatawa Marsh Area. GOAL: Strive to connect recreational facilities to schools, residential areas, and to one another with non-motorized trails that provide safe, pleasant, and satisfying recreational experiences. Objectives: *Provide pedestrian/bike trails throughout the City, linking recreational, residential, and school facilities. *Work with the Macatawa Greenway Partnership to link existing parks and recreational lands through bike paths, walking paths, and green space.

The Windmill Island Gardens Non-Motorized Bridge and Regional Trail project is designed to ensure safe and convenient access for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders in and out of Windmill Island and to connect to regional trails. Ensuring there is a safe and convenient transportation network for all users is an important element of the City of Holland's Complete Streets Policy (See attached Document 9, City of Holland Complete Streets Resolution). The Windmill Island Gardens Trail will allow pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit users to safely enter the park from the north, south, and east (upon completion of Macatawa Greenway) and to continue on to other safe and convenient regional trail routes. The Macatawa Area Express (MAX) bus system currently has nine bus routes that stop within 600 feet of the entrance to Windmill Island Gardens (See attached Document 13). This project is essential in providing a safe route for those riding the public transit system, walking, or riding a bicycle and will create connections to existing and planned safe regional trail systems. This project will also increase active transportation opportunities which will allow for improved public health, economic development, a cleaner environment, reduced transportation costs, enhanced community connections, social equality, and will help create a more livable community. Increasing active transportation is a major goal of the City of Holland's Complete Street Policy. The Windmill Island Gardens Trail will increase access to active transportation in the City of Holland, Holland Township, the City of Zeeland, Zeeland Township, and many more communities in Ottawa County.

For more than a decade, the City of Holland has been aggressive about examining "complete streets" issues in all of its street construction, reconstruction, sidewalk improvement, and bike facility efforts as a matter of normal course of doing business. These issues, often involve the participation of neighborhood residents, business, and other property owners, is well considered in the context of both of the specific conditions of a particular project, as well as in the context of the larger City-wide (and beyond) network. Streets and planning staff members from the City of Holland have also attended MDOT sponsored training on complete streets as well as programs conducted by the Lakeshore Disability Network on livable communities and complete streets. The reconstruction of 40th street, in the City of Holland, is a positive example of a two lane road project with bike lanes, sidewalks, sidewalk bulb-outs and median crossing islands. Holland Charter Township is also aggressive in providing non-motorized transportation options. Holland Charter Township contains more than 68 miles of sidewalks and bike paths.

The non-motorized pedestrian bridge will need to be inspected every two years and will cost approximately $1,000 for a bridge with no fracture critical elements and $5,000 for a bridge with fracture critical elements (depending on location and length of bridge). The City of Holland will take the lead on bridge maintenance and inspection with a 50/50 cost share between the City of Holland and Holland Charter Township. Annualized maintenance costs are estimated at $9,000 per year over the life of the bridge. Power washing will be done on a semiannual basis on areas of the trail and bridge that are needed. Regular maintenance of the connector trail north of the bridge in Holland Charter Township will be the responsibility of Holland Charter Township. The Windmill Island Gardens pathways and the entrance trail from the south will be the responsibility of the City of Holland. The costs will be in-kind and will involve the normal wages for City and Township maintenance workers and supply costs. Ongoing preventative maintenance procedures such as: painting of lines (if needed), weeding, mowing, tree trimming, and sweeping will be done on regular basis. Cleanup and department labor costs will be handled by the corresponding municipality responsible for the trail section. Costs for this will also be normal working wages and supply costs and will be on an in-kind basis as well. Asphalt on Windmill Island Gardens Trail will need to be resurfaced every 15 years (annualized cost of $6,586). Asphalt on Window on the Waterfront will also need to be resurfaced every 15 years and will have an annualized cost of $3,800. The cost for resurfacing will be handled in the same way as above.

City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Finance – Quarterly Investment Report Summary Attached is the quarterly investment report for the first quarter of the fiscal year (July – September 2013) as required by Public Act 20. Although accrued investment earnings are nearly identical to the prior fiscal year fluctuations in market values of the securities held are impacted by “market write up (down),” governmental accounting standards require that the assets are valued at market prices, even though these will be held to maturity. As interest rates have begun to thaw in the past few months, various longer‐term government securities have been purchased as opposed to CDs which are not subject to valuation changes. Threats for a government shutdown at the end of this reporting period (September 30) provided some volatility in interest rates, but staff is convinced that these purchases provide better diversification, balance and opportunity to earn better yields than have been trended in the past few years. Accrued earnings are nearly identical to prior year and staff believes that the trough may have been reached. Securities purchased in the past few months have higher interest rates than the past couple of years, but slightly longer terms than what has been held in the portfolio recently. As shown, the year to date accrued interest is $37,690 compared to $37,505 in same period of FY13. The current annualized rate is .429% compared to .4823% in FY13. There was a higher average daily balance in FY14 than FY13, resulting in more earnings. Recommendation It is recommended that Council receive the quarterly investment report as presented.

City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Finance – Annual Adjustments of Interest Rates for Certain Special
Assessments Summary On October 20, 1999, City Council adopted a policy on interest rates for special assessment projects. Prior to October 20, 1999, the interest rate was 10% for all special assessment projects. However, this rate was adjusted only when the City sold bonds for a project. The revised interest rate was then set between .5 and 1% above the rate for which the bonds were sold. On all special assessment projects not funded from bond issues, especially small projects funded from various revolving funds within the General City and the BPW, the interest rate would remain at 10%. The policy for the non‐bonded projects, as of October 20, 1999, was based on interest rates determined by the prime rate of major U.S. banks, as printed in the Wall Street Journal, minus 1.5%. This resulted in interest rates as follows:
Year Rate
11‐1‐1999 6.75% (8.25% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2000 8.00% (9.5% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2001 5.00% (5.5% minus1.5%)
11‐1‐2002 3.25% (4.75% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2003 2.50% (4.0% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2004 3.25% (4.75% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2005 5.50% (7% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2006 6.75% (8.25% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2007 6.00% (7.50% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2008 2.50% (4.00% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2009 2.00% (3.25% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2010 2.00% (3.25% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2011 2.00% (3.25% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2012 2.00% (3.25% minus 1.5%)
11‐1‐2013 2.00% Minimum Rate 2% (3.25% minus 1.5%)
14E3.3*
Under the policy established by the City Council, the new rate must be evaluated annually. The policy was initially adopted with a 10% maximum and a 5% minimum; however, the Council changed the minimum to 2% in 2002. The current prime rate is 3.25%, which would result in an interest rate on bonded special assessments at the minimum rate of 2.00% (3.25% minus 1.5% = 1.75%). Recommendation It is recommended that the interest rate for non‐bonded capital improvement special assessment rolls be set at 2.00%, effective November 6, 2013. It is further recommended that the interest rate on special assessments for the fill‐in‐the‐gap program be set at 2% for this year, also effective November 6, 2013.

Re: Annual Adjustment of Interest Rate for Certain Special Assessment Rolls
At the November 6, 2013 Council Meeting
By Council Action 99.755 dated October 20, 1999 (and later amended by Council Action 02.719 dated November 6, 2002), an interest rate policy was established for special assessment rolls that are not pledged to special assessment bonded debt (a.k.a., unbonded special assessment rolls). The policy states that the adjustment shall be equivalent to the Prime Rate of major U.S. banks, as printed in The Wall Street Journal, minus one-and-one-half percent (1.5%). Parameters include an interest rate ceiling of 10% and a minimum rate of 2%.
In conformance with this policy, the interest rate on unbonded special assessments is to be adjusted at the first City Council meeting of November each year.
Presently, the interest rate applied to such special assessment rolls is 2.00%. The current Prime Rate as listed in The Wall Street Journal is 3.25% (effective 12/16/08).
Based upon this information, it is requested that City Council retain the interest rate on unbonded special assessments at 2.00% (3.25% minus 1.5% = 1.75%, use minimum rate though) effective November 6, 2013. It is further recommended that City Council also retain the interest rate on assessments for the fill-in-the-gap program at 2.00% for this year, also effective November 6, 2013.
Thank you.
Note: We will monitor the Prime Rate up to November 6 as listed in the Wall Street Journal for any revision that may impact this action.
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER CITY HALL
HOLLAND, MICHIGAN
City Manager Report To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Centralized Vehicle/Equipment Fund – Award Bids for Vehicles Summary Sealed bids for the purchase of four (4) replacement vehicles, for use in various City Departments as included in the FY14 budget, were opened on October 29, 2013. Council approval to purchase one (1) Ford F‐350 from Signature Ford, low bidder, at a cost of $21,426, one (1) Ford F‐450 (4x4) from Signature Ford, low bidder, at a cost of $30,511, one (1) Ford F‐150 from Signature Ford, low bidder, at a cost of $20,147 is requested. No Council action regarding the bids for a sedan is requested at this time. The FY14 budget includes $32,300 to replace one (1) 13,200 GVW truck w/dual rear wheels for use in the Parks Department with a stake body and lift gate to be installed by City upon receipt. It also includes $32,300 for a 16,500 GVW truck w/dual rear wheels for use in Parks and Forestry that will have a 9 ft. dump box installed. Two alternates were bid for that truck; one for 4x4 and one rear wheel drive only. The budget includes $21,000 for a 6800 GVW (1/2 ton) pickup truck for use by Police Department in code enforcement (animal control). Finally the budget includes $18,500 for an unmarked sedan to be used in the Police Division for investigative work. Bids are as follows: Vehicle Signature Ford Barber Ford Berger Chevrolet 13,200 GVW *$21,426 (F‐350) $22,270 (F‐350) No Bid 16,500 GVW (4x2) $27,393 (F‐450) $28,593 (F‐450) No bid 16,500 GVW (4x4) *$30,511 (F‐450) $31,712 (F‐450) No bid 6800 GVW *$20,147 (F‐150) $23,897 (F‐150) $22,896 (Silverado 1500) Sedan $17,709 (Fusion) *$17,654 (Fusion) $18,825 (Malibu) *Recommended bid The total budget for these vehicles is $104,100. Although bid prices total $89,703 reflecting a savings of $14,397 from the budget, an estimated additional $14,000 to replace a stake box and lift gate on the F‐350 and a new 9’ dump box for use on the F‐450, will leave a net balance of $397 under the budgeted amounts for these vehicles. The disposal of vehicles will be handled at a separate time and Council declaration as surplus will be requested at that time.
14E3.4* REV
At the request of the City Manager, bid pricing to purchase a hybrid sedan will be pursued as an alternative to the regular engine specified originally. No Council action on the sedan bids is requested until those bids are received. It is expected that the alternate hybrid vehicle bids will be included on the December 4 meeting agenda. Recommendation It is recommended that City Council: 1. Accept the low bid from Signature Ford for a 2014 Ford F‐350 at a cost of $21,426 for use in
the Parks Department; 2. Accept the alternate low bid from Signature Ford for a 2014 Ford F‐450 (4x4) at a cost of

City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Human Resources – 2013 Health Insurance Rates
Summary
The City currently has a flexible benefit program for its non‐union employees which allows each employee to choose a combination of fringe benefits which best fits personal needs. Part of this program is health insurance. Currently, there are three (3) health plan options, a dental option, and an opt‐out alternative. The base plan for which the City funds 80% of the premium is the PPO‐10 plan. If the employee does not successfully complete the City’s Wellness program, then the City share is 60% of the premium. The City’s Employee Health Insurance program is basically self‐funded. However, the program is self‐insured up to $100,000 on a per individual basis and there is a group limit which is adjusted annually. Therefore, the City has insurance coverage if individual or group aggregate costs are exceeded. Priority Health is the City’s Third Party Administrator (TPA) and administers the employee health and dental insurance claims. The current Administrative Fee per contract per month has remained the same at $49.00. The medical specific and aggregate stop loss insurance for 2013 is $66.25 per employee per month, for 2014 we have decided to include prescription drugs in the specific stop loss which adjusts the specific and aggregate premium to $78.52 per month per employee, this addition of the prescription drugs in the stop loss has the potential to save the City approximately $57,000. We had good news this year at our annual renewal meeting with Priority Health. The Health Plan illustrative rates were decreased by 1.37% for the PPO‐10 base plan and decreased up to 10.88% for the Health Savings Account plan, with all three plans seeing a decrease in cost. In 2014, the City is required to pay mandatory Affordable Care Act regulatory fees which include Affordable Care Act taxes and a Michigan 1% sales tax. These fees are costs to run the health insurance plan and therefore will be incorporated into the Priority Health illustrative rates. Following is a table indicating the 2013 health and dental base plan insurance rates and the proposed rates for 2014:

City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council. Date: November 6, 2013. Subject: Renaming the Community Energy Strategies Steering Committee to the Community
Energy Plan Steering Committee and Adoption of a Community Energy Plan
Summary The City’s Education and Outreach Task Force for the Community Energy Strategies is poised to apply for a $75,000 Funders Grant for Livability to potentially create a permanent Sustainability Institute in Holland. This potential grant would leverage another $150,000 to fund the staff needed to create a $3 million endowment. The goals of the Education and Outreach Task Force of the Community Energy Strategies process are to:
1. Create a permanent energy and sustainability resource for the Holland area;
2. Use this resource to: a. Educate citizens; b. Further sustainability research; and c. Brainstorm/educate on policy solutions – both state and local; and
3. Endow such a resource at Hope College.
Need One requirement of the Funders Grant for sustainability is to operate according to a Community Energy Plan. See the first item on the second page of the attached list of steps from Sustainable Strategies. The so‐called Garforth Plan has been serving as the resource document for the City Council‐approved Community Energy Strategies as per the attached Resolution adopted on July 18, 2012. Replacing the word “strategies” with the word “plan” will not change the process or functioning of the existing Steering Committee yet will eliminate a potential competitive challenge to succeeding in securing this $75,000 grant. The Community Energy Strategies Committee recommends this change. Note: First, there is no intent by staff to assume any additional authority for energy actions based on this Council action requested tonight. There remains a need for the duly‐elected City representatives to authorize each change associated with this Plan. No element of the Plan will be implemented unless there is discrete and individual Council action to authorize the same. Second, all policy actions will
14E5.5*
continue to be vetted by the respective citizen Task Force and the Community Energy Steering (or Plan) Committee before coming to Council for your review. The above statements need to be explicitly made part of the record so there is no misunderstanding that future City Council actions will be needed for approval, or disapproval, depending on future Council policy preferences and determinations associated with the specific conditions at the time. Recommendation Following a pre‐Council meeting discussion, the City Council may make a motion to rename the Community Energy Strategies Steering Committee to the Community Energy Plan Steering Committee, as well as rename the Community Energy Strategies as it is now known to the Community Energy Plan, with the caveat that each of the goals and outcomes of the Plan need to be individually acted upon by the City Council after specific policy discussions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager Ryan Cotton FROM: Matt Ward DATE: July 12, 2013 SUBJECT: Funders Network/Local Sustainability Matching Grant for
“Holland Sustainability Institute”
This memorandum provide an initial recommended gameplan for obtaining a “Local Sustainability Matching Fund” grant from The Funders Network for Smart Growth & Livable Communities (TFN) to launch a “Holland Sustainability Institute” that, among other things, would be a lead entity for the implementation of the Holland Community Energy Plan (CEP).
BACKGROUND ON SUSTAINABILITY MATCHING FUND The Fund provides investments of up to $75,000 from national foundations on a competitive basis, matched on a 50:50 basis by a place-based foundation, to build partnerships between local sustainability directors and the community foundation on discrete sustainability initiatives that are based on community support and engagement. TFN is partnered with an organization called the Local Sustainability Directors Network (LSDN) on this project. TFN expects to hold its 4th round of this grant in fall 2013, and to provide around 10 grants in such round. The grant is not opened yet, but should be opened in August or early September. After the grant announcement, there will be around ~6 weeks before required submission, and ~12 weeks before grant announcement. This could mean a grant due date of around October 1, and funding provided around January 2014. Funded projects typically have a 12-month timeframe.
There are some pre-requisites to obtain a Fund grant that Holland should consider: Must have an officially established sustainability, conservation, or energy plan. The
Holland CEP will function well for this, but Holland should also consider how to associate the CEP with the Holland Sustainability Framework, and how to integrate the proposed Holland Sustainability Institute.
Must have a “sustainability director” which is either a USDN member or a person who leads a community-wide or multi-department sustainability initiative.
Eligible recipient is place-based foundation, a 501(c)(3) created by the City, or a partnering non-profit organization
Must fit one of 7 priorities (these could change for Round 4) which, in Round 3, included “Comprehensive Neighborhood Sustainability Projects, and projects to mobilize business and resident actions that advanced sustainability, including in energy.
KEY TASKS
1.) Confirm Fit: Determine whether the Matching Fund fits Holland’s needs for the Sustainability Institute and CEP implementation, and whether Holland can confirm to the requirements of the grant. Lead: Ryan Cotton in consultation with [??]
2.) Establish Institute Gameplan: Create initial gameplan for how the Holland Sustainability Institute/CEP project would operate (functions, budget, organization, staffing, timeline, etc.). Lead: Ryan Cotton with [??]
3.) Sustainability Committee: Present idea at July 15 Sustainability Committee meeting
4.) Briefing Sheet: Produce 2-page briefing sheet that provides vision and plan for Sustainability Institute, describes the role of the Institute in CEP implementation, and that describes plan for seeking TFN and community foundation matching fund resources. Lead: Matt Ward
5.) Community Foundation: Approach a community-based foundation in Holland to propose matching fund partnership for Sustainability Institute.
6.) Hope College: Coordinate with Hope College on proposed project, including goals, organization, staffing, space, resource contributions.
7.) TFG / LSDN Coordination: Call with Funders Network Ann Wallace, and with Local Sustainability Directors Network coordinator Julia Parzen. Also consider calls with national foundation staff involved in Matching Fund program. Lead: Matt Ward
8.) Application: There is no reason that we should not fill out the grant application now, as it will prepare us for the fall submission. Lead: Matt Ward

City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Appointment of a City of Holland Energy and Sustainability Manager
Summary The Funders Grant for Livable Communities in Washington, D.C. will potentially provide a $75,000 grant to the City, BPW and Hope College to create a permanent Sustainability Institute. The grant pre‐conditions include the need for the City to have appointed an Energy and Sustainability Manager. Discussion The Sustainability Committee and the Community Energy Plan Steering Committee support this potential appointment. The position can be filled by a community volunteer until, or if, the City and the Board of Public Works decides to budget a salary in future fiscal years. The chairperson of the Sustainability Committee can hold this title by virtue of his current activities in that role already. Paul Lilly holds this position now and is not seeking for it to be funded. Given his support and Council’s support tonight, City staff will be able to move forward in seeking this grant and leveraging other resources to hopefully create an endowed Sustainability Institute in the foreseeable future. Recommendation After pre‐Council meeting discussion, the City Council may approve the attached Administrative Plan that depicts this new voluntary position and how it would function vis‐à‐vis the Community Energy Plan Steering Committee, the City and BPW and also authorize the City Manager thereby to appoint an Energy and Sustainability Manager accordingly.

City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Statement Regarding Council Policy and Direction on the Home Energy Retrofit Task
Force’s Activities
Summary The Home Energy Retrofit Task is a duly‐constituted citizen team authorized by Council in last year’s Community Energy Strategies’ resolution. The Task Force was authorized to work with Schneider Electric in February to develop a pilot project plan. Such plan was created. Two hundred home owners were found to be interested in the potential Home Energy Retrofit program. The major rub is the need for pending statewide enabling legislation to create an on‐bill repayment mechanism for eligible homeowners. Similar legislation exists in Kentucky, Kansas and Oregon. Discussion Several Council members asked that the City Council discuss an interim statement regarding your policy preferences and expectations that could be made to the Home Energy Retrofit Task Force and to the two hundred homeowners. The following language is suggested:
The City Council appreciates the work of the Home Energy Retrofit Task Force for bringing us a program that encourages Holland home owner investments in energy retrofits. The City Council is enthusiastic about the potential 50% energy improvements to home owners along with the increased capacity and livability for the city via such a program. City Staff, Task Force leadership and Holland legislators are encouraged to continue working through the current legislative barriers and are also authorized to begin work on establishing a Home Energy Trust in the meantime. It remains the City Council’s hope to initiate a significant pilot project during calendar year 2014 once these obstacles are removed.
Recommendation After a pre‐Council meeting discussion, the City Council can move to approve the above statement and authorize its release to the Home Energy Retrofit Task Force and to the two hundred interested homeowners.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER CITY HALL
HOLLAND, MICHIGAN
City Manager Report
To: Mayor Dykstra and Members of the Holland City Council Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Human Resources ‐ MERS Closed Division Transfer Resolution
Summary
The City of Holland and Holland Board of Public Works provide defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) retirement pensions to employees through the Municipal Employees’ Retirement System of Michigan (MERS). Currently, MERS administers seven DB retirement divisions for the City/HBPW. Five of these seven DB retirement divisions are closed to new hires. New hires into these employee groups are instead provided with a DC pension benefit similar to a 401(k) plan. The closed DB pension groups are summarized below:
Division # Employee Group Status as of 12/31/2012
7001‐01 City Non‐Union Closed to new participants
7001‐02 Public Safety Command Closed to new participants
7001‐11 HBPW – Union Closed to new participants
7001‐13 HBPW Non‐Union Closed to new participants
7001‐14 HBPW Clerical Closed to new participants
Prior to 2007, if the employer transferred an employee from one employee group to another and if the employee was in a closed DB division, the employee was allowed to transfer from closed division to closed division. For example, if an HBPW union employee in Division 7001‐11 was promoted into a non‐union position, he or she was moved into Division 7001‐13. In 2007, MERS revised its procedures to define a closed division as being closed to any and all additional participants (not just new hires). This meant that an HBPW union employee in Division 7001‐11 would have their DB pension suspended and would be moved to the DC pension plan upon accepting promotion into a non‐union position.
14E5.8*
In late 2010, at the request of its employer members, MERS reversed itself on this matter. MERS is once again allowing an employer to move existing employees between closed pension divisions after the employer formally adopts an appropriate resolution. The HBPW has found the current restriction on transfers between closed pension divisions to be a significant deterrent to qualified utility union employees who may be considering applying for non‐union positions, including technical and supervisory opportunities. The HBPW is also currently attempting to amicably resolve a labor agreement grievance that directly relates to this matter. Because this issue involves individuals who are already participants in the City/HBPW DB pension system, adopting the attached resolution will not expand the number of individuals eligible for DB pension benefits through the City/HBPW. Recommendation It is recommended that City Council adopt and approve the attached MERS Employer Resolution Establishing Uniform Transfer Provision with the additional stipulation that the employee option to move between closed divisions is reserved solely for employees in situations where the benefit multiplier in the receiving division is equal to or less than the benefit multiplier in the originating division.
