MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Shea Charles, City Manager
DATE: July 15, 2026
RE: Bagley Parking Deck Funding Discussion
Action Requested: That the City Commission discuss funding options for the potential parking deck
on Bagley.
Background: At the August 3, 2026, meeting, City Commission will be asked to consider a resolution
to place a debt millage request on the November 3, 2026, ballot. This request would fund bonds to
finance the City’s half of a potential parking deck on Bagley Street in partnership with East Grand
Rapids Public Schools.
City Commission has requested a discussion on funding options prior to the August 3 meeting. Below
is a discussion of options for City Commission’s consideration.
Funding public improvements can be done in few ways. In this situation there are two options:
1) Pay for the project from existing resources, or
2) Issue debt in the form of General Obligation Bonds
Given the City’s portion could be $7-8 million, reallocating existing resources would be difficult.
The City has two ways to approach the second option of issuing debt for the potential Bagley Lot.
The first is with voter-approved Unlimited Tax General Obligation (UTGO) bonds. The second is
with non-voter-approved Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) bonds. With the first option, the
City levies an additional millage to cover the cost of annual debt service. With the second option
involving LTGOs, the City uses existing General Fund revenue to fund the bonds.
The advantage of a voter-approved issuance is this: If the economy experiences a downturn, and
general fund revenues drop, the City does not have resources tied up in debt service, which must
always be paid. With the Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) option, bonds are repaid using the
City's existing General Fund revenues, so they do not require a new property tax (millage).
The current projected interest rate for a 20-year $8 million bond issuance is 3.91% and the bonds
would carry an average annual debt service of $575,000. With any bond issuance, actual interest rates
will not be known until the day of the sale. The City’s financial advisor, Municipal Finance
Consultants (MFCI), has updated their earlier projections with current market rates. MFCI has
indicated there would be a minor difference between LTGO and UTGO rates of a few basis points.
Procedurally, before the City can issue these bonds, Michigan law requires the City Commission to
approve a Notice of Intent resolution. After the notice is published, there is a 45-day period during
which residents may petition to require a public vote on the bonds before they can be issued.
To place the issue on the ballot, the petition must be signed by at least 10% of the City's registered
voters. If enough valid signatures are collected, the bond proposal must be submitted to voters at a
future election.
CITY REVENUES – ROAD FUNDING
In 2025, the State of Michigan adopted a new road funding package that provides additional
resources to local Act 51 agencies. The new funds are designated Neighborhood Road Funds (NRF)
and carry the same use restrictions as Major & Local street funds received through Act 51. This
question has been posed: Can the City use these new funds to offset the current $1 million General
Fund transfer to the municipal street fund, thus freeing that resource to be used for the potential
Bagley Parking Deck.
The short answer is yes; with an understanding these revenues are still in question due to an ongoing
legal challenge to the marijuana tax part of the formula. February 2026 estimates showed that East
Grand Rapids will receive the following NRF amounts.
Estimated Revenues Fiscal Estimated Revenues Estimated Revenues
City/Village Year 2026 Fiscal Year 2027 Fiscal Year 2028
East Grand Rapids 429,861.97 537,468.31 593,243.33
As part of the new road funding package, the State’s 6% sales tax on fuel was eliminated resulting in
an annual loss 10% loss in constitutional revenue sharing – a roughly $110,000 reduction to the
General Fund. The chart below accounts for this loss of constitutional revenue sharing.
NET - Estimated Revenues NET - Estimated NET - Estimated
Fiscal Year 2026 Revenues Fiscal Year Revenues Fiscal Year
City/Village 2027 2028
East Grand Rapids 319,861.97 427,468.31 483,243.33
As of July 14th, neither the City nor any other local agency has received any new funding. The delay
was expected as Public Act 20 of 2025 required other funding sources to be filled before local
agencies received their funds.
In May 2026, MDOT shared an update stating that enough revenue has been collected to fund the
required $100 million in local bridge funds. (email attached).
TOTAL ROAD FUNDING
The City receives both local and major street funds through Act 51. Before the new road funding
package, the City received about $1.5 million annually ($1.1 million Majors Streets, $421,000 local).
These funds are supplemented by the $1 million General Fund transfer and $2 million street millage
revenue. Total revenues of $4.5 million. Compare this to $1.8 million the City was investing in 2015.
These additional resources have greatly improved our overall street network as demonstrated by our
annual PASER Ratings.

green line projects road conditions through the 10-year period of the Street & Sidewalk
Millage using the additional 2.0 mills approved by EGR residents. The red line shows current
ratings with approved millage.
HOW COULD THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING BE USED?
Streets, like any public infrastructure, require ongoing maintenance and investment. With additional
funds – both the renewed millage and new state road funding – the City will be able to take a more
comprehensive approach to street rehabilitation projects.
With recent projects such as Hall Street and Cambridge Boulevard, the City was able to address
design issues with the existing medians. In the past, to assure we addressed every street in ten years,
many smaller issues were not looked at while we focused on pavement smoothness. As we begin
another investment cycle, the additional resources mean we are:
• Able to keep up with ongoing inflationary pressure,
• Able to address smaller issues when we rehabilitate a street, and
• Undertake more intensive rehabilitations, including the resolution of issues such as storm
water drainage throughout the City, where there are residential driveway approaches that
experience ponding after rain events (referred to as bird baths). More intensive rehabilitations
also include addressing road base issues and funding full reconstructions when warranted.
Next Steps
At the August 3rd City Commission meeting we will be presenting the final parking design concept
and updated estimates. At the meeting, the City Commission could make the following decisions:
1) Place the parking deck funding proposal on the ballot for voters to decide.
2) Delay a decision until additional information is available.
3) Decide not to move forward with the project.
4) Move forward with the project by financing it with non-voter-approved bonds.
City staff will be available to discuss these options and answer questions.

Neighborhood Roads Fund (NRF) Revenue Update
To All Counties, Cities, and Villages
Before any Neighborhood Roads Fund (NRF) dollars can be distributed to counties, cities, or villages,
several statutory carveouts must be met. The first $100 million is allocated to the Local Critical Bridge
Program. The next $40 million is directed to the Local Grade Separation Fund. Following that, $100
million supports Public Transportation, with $35 million going to the Comprehensive Transportation
Fund and $65 million to the Infrastructure Projects Authority Fund.
Once these carveouts have been satisfied, the remaining funds are divided with 80 percent going to
Local Agencies and 20 percent to the State Trunkline Fund. Of the 80 percent distributed to Local
Agencies, 65 percent will go to Counties and 35 percent to Cities and Villages. These distributions will
follow the formulas specified in Act 51, Sections 12 and 13.

Since this is the first month MDOT has received the new wholesale marihuana revenue, we have just
begun funding the first $100 million required for the Local Critical Bridge Program. Please refer to the

2026-130. Provide staff with feedback related to their preference of Middle School Athletics
pricing Option #1, Option #2 or Option #3 as outlined in the memo.
Parks and Recreation Director Melville reviewed the request.
Commissioner Groff-Blaszak asked how we will be subsidizing families in need and
what if they don’t qualify for free/reduced lunches. Director Melville said that the
program guide now includes verbiage about funding through the Schools’s
Foundation and noted that the form is online and noted that the Foundation could take
circumstances into consideration.
Commissioner Burdick asked about a button for donations on the website. Director
Melville stated that currently our software does not allow this, but we would have to
look into this.
Commissioner Schwartz asked how the high school structures their fees and if there
have been any complaints. Director Melville stated that they charge a flat fee of $250
for all school funded sports and he has not had any complaints about this, but he
probably would not be the one to hear about them. He also noted that a flat rate is
pretty consistent throughout schools districts.
Nyal Deems, 701 Laurel Circle, feels that the fees are too much for middle school
sports.
Commissioner Schwartz is between Option 2 and Option 3 but is leaning toward the
flat fee to be consistent with the high school.
Commissioner Wessely feels Option 3 is the fairest.

Commissioner Burdick is between Option 2 and Option 3 and noted that it is still
more affordable than outside club sports. He would like to revisit in one year.

There was discussion about different sports and keeping and giving back uniforms.
City Manager Charles said that the proposed fees have been reviewed by the Parks
and Recreation Commission and finance. There is flexibility to revisit this in the
future.
Yeas: Burdick, Groff-Blaszak, Schwartz, and Favale – 4
Nays: Wessely - 1
2026-131. Consider approval of the Waterfront Park Phase II conceptual plan and authorize City
staff and consultants to proceed with final design efforts.
Parks and Recreation Director Melville reviewed the request.
Commissioner Schwartz asked about the process and if the final design would come
back to us and wondered what the surface of the parking lot would be. Director
Melville stated that it would come back to the Commission and the material for the
parking lot is not decided yet.
Commissioner Burdick said that in the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting,
they focused on making sure that the trails would be ADA compatible for all types of
users, not spooking all the birds away, making the trails exclusively walking trails
and using the history of the property as a teaching tool.
Mayor Favale asked when a decision about the trails being walkable only gets made
and wondered if the playground was part of the original grant. Director Melville the
trails were something that could certainly be discussed and voted on and the
playground was not included in the original grant application because it would not
help with the scoring.
4
Commissioner Wessely asked if the DNR grant was final. Director Melville stated
that it would not be final until final plans were drawn, EGLE permit obtained and
agreement was signed.
Commissioner Groff-Blaszak asked what degree of certainty there is to be within the
grant amount and if it ends up costing more, do we have the option of pulling money
from elsewhere. Director Melville stated that there is no degree of certainty until cost
estimates are done. City Manager Charles said that if more money is needed, it will
come back to the Commission.
Commissioner Groff-Blaszak asked about the level of accessibility and does not see
the need for more parking and would like it to be scaled back. Director Melville said
that all elements have to be ADA accessible and will be reviewed by the DNR. He
noted that there was some level of interest in added parking and that it was up for
discussion.
Commissioner Schwartz thought parking was part of the grant. Director Melville said
that it was on the application and noted that some ADA spots would have to be added.
Judy Baxter, Hall St., spoke about Phase I when she was on the Parks and Recreation
Commission, spoke about the parking in the new plan and asked for the consideration
of wildlife.
Nyal Deems, 701 Laurel Circle, says his comments were not incorporated in the
community engagement. He does not want changes to the park.
Commissioner Wessely would like to see dedicated trailer parking.
Commissioner Burdick said that the land is in bad shape, is in support of everything,
but doesn’t like more surface parking, but understands we have a grant, likes the pull
through and angled parking.
Commissioner Schwartz is enthusiastic about rejuvenating the area back to native
species, wants to protect natural areas with toddler friendly playground, wants kids in
nature with logs to walk on, tree teepees, natural elements and noted that the survey
showed wanting more parking in this area. She likes the in and out drives and is a hard
no on trailer parking.
Commissioner Groff-Blaszak said that expansion of the parking is a sticking point for
her and is concerned about the scope of the project.
City Manager Charles noted that there could be future discussions on parking and
Director Melville noted that the EGLE permit can be scaled back.
Mayor Favale loves the plan, noted that buckhorns are everywhere, native species are
needed, this has been talked about for decades and doesn’t want to lose the grant due to
parking.

6. PUBLIC HEARING - PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PHASE I FINAL PLAN FOR 515
LAKESIDE DR (GASLIGHT INVESTORS).
Attorney Mike Roth gave an update regarding the lawsuit and stated that it does not provide a stay
regarding the final plans moving forward. The lawsuit is narrow and relates to a procedural issue. We are
in the middle of the discovery phase. Mr. Roth did notify the Plaintiff’s attorney that Phase I final site
plan was being brought to the Planning Commission and noted to them that it was up to the Plaintiff to
file a motion to stop it from proceeding. They have chosen not to do this.
Zoning Administrator Jay Gianotti reviewed the Phase 1 final plan, reviewed the standards and why/how
they are met and if they could be met, wayfinding signage, street names and access points.
Mr. Gianotti reviewed the landscaping, maintenance, stormwater, adequate lighting, and trash collection.
The Planning Commission had the following questions.
Chairperson Mapes: Asked about the landscaping on Lakeside to deter pedestrians from crossing
in an unsafe location that could be added.
Gianotti: Reviewed the map to show the area of concern.
Commissioner Rosmarin: Asked about the easement.
City Manager Charles: The two parties are in negotiations. The easement has to be in place
prior to building permits being issued.
Commissioner Feyen: Asked about the HOA being responsible for maintenance and wondered if
that was enforceable.
La Fave: That is something that is addressed in the HOA agreement.
Commissioner Schwartz: Asked what happens if the easement is not agreed upon.
City Manager Charles: said that it was an ongoing matter of discussion.
Commissioner Feyen: asked if it could prevent the bike pathway
City Manager Charles: said that it was in negotiations.
Mike Corby, Integrated Architecture, reviewed the proposed buildings and changes that have been
implemented since the previous meeting. Each unit will have one secure space per unit and one space per
bedroom for parking. The plan will have a bike path even if the location has to be shifted. A bike rack was
added, along with green space and two-tiered landscaping.
Commissioner Tilma: Wondered if building G and F could be moved five feet to allow for a wider
sidewalk.
Corby: This is not the main walkway and runs behind the buildings, so they feel this is fine.
Commissioner Schwartz: There has been some criticism about the choice of materials on
buildings G and H. People feel it is a little too trendy and modern.
Corby: The bottom of the buildings is brick and the top is stone. It is mid-century modern,
timeless, which is very popular on the east side of the state. They prioritized a lot of glass and
want to stay with more neutral colors.
Chairperson Mapes: Asked if they thought the materials would get time stamped.
Corby: Does not think they will.
Commissioner Michell: He likes the design and materials.
Commissioner Feyen: Wondered if they had given any thought to a rooftop area with a rain
garden or something.
Corby: They have to look at the affordability of something like this and said that there is not a
large number of units to amortize something like this, but they did look at it.
Commissioner Tilma: Asked if the pedestrian path would be cleared in the winter.
Corby: Yes, it would be.
Public Hearing opened at 6:29 p.m.
Koller Stanley, 2235 Boston, likes the building design and would consider these buildings to be a
trend.
Judy Frey noted that there is no place in the City for a museum and would like to bring history to
the development with street names and maybe a history park or story walk.
David Decker, 925 Bellclaire, spoke about the protest petitions and the number of votes needed at
the City Commission level.
Judy Baxter, Hall St, spoke about the project being too big and noted the Planning Commission’s
duty.
John Chronowski, 775 Bagley, spoke about the lawsuit, development and noted that the parking
garage being an unnecessary tax.
Nancy Pattison, 2104 Gorham, thinks the development looks like a concrete jungle. She wants to
know where the ecological studies are and urges everyone to take a step back.
Jerry Anderson, 435 Edgemere, very few people object to this part of the plan and spoke about
parking.
Nyal Deems, 701 Laurel Circle, wants everything locked in place before moving forward.
Public Hearing closed at 6:53 p.m.
Commissioner Schwartz asked if we could see other materials on the same façade as she wants to make
sure they get it right.
Commissioner Feyen is happy to see a mixture of single family and multi-family housing. Would like to
see a little smoother curve in the bike lane.
Commissioner Rosmarin is supportive of the development and doesn’t feel the need to see other materials
and noted that they have the ability to make changes in future phases.
Commissioner Michell echoes Commissioner Rosmarin’s comments. We are only charged with phase 1
now and will look at phase 2 when that comes. He likes the design and the materials.
Commissioner Metz took a tour of Southfield which he said is the best place for mid-century modern. He
feels the design is right on track with very good materials, great for the City, high-end materials and proud
that it is in our town. He said that you will see more buildings emulating this in the future.
Commissioner Schwartz likes the idea of story walk of history.
Commissioner Tilma said that the narrow walking path feels like an afterthought.
Commissioner Rosmarin is ready to move for a vote.
Commissioner Metz is ready to move for a vote.
City Manager Charles mentioned that there is not a draft development agreement and he would encourage
this to come back to the Commission for a vote at a future meeting.
Commissioner Michell questioned if they would not defer to the City Commission until the agreement is
received.
City Manager Charles stated that was correct.
Commissioner Schwartz asked about the storm water going to Reeds Lake.
Deputy City Manager La Fave said that pre-treatment is required and said that there is no open pipe that
leads to Reeds Lake.
Commissioner Feyen asked where storm water enters Reeds Lake.
Deputy City Manager showed the area on a map.
Commissioner Tilma confirmed that existing infrastructure would be used.
Deputy City Manager La Fave stated that it would. It has been there since the early 2000’s and has a
sixty-year life span.
Commissioner Schwartz would like to look at the triangle park but not sure if that would be development
issue or City issue.
City Manager Charles said that they will have to research that.
Commissioner Schwartz is still stuck on the easement and would like to know more to make a decision.
City Manager Charles said that this will be brought back to the July meeting.
Commissioner Michell asked if there would be another public hearing.
Deputy City Manager La Fave said that statutory was met with the public hearing tonight, but we will
take public comment like normal.
Mike Corby was not aware of the agreement requirement. He asked for a motion on the plan tonight and
the agreement at a future meeting.
Attorney Mike Roth referred to Sec. 5.48 (c) of Article 6 that states the PUD site plan shall be
accompanied by the agreement and is to be reviewed by the City Attorney. This is a technical issue, but
the obligation is set forth in the ordinance. He recommends that it not be separated.
7. REPORT OF THE CITY COMMISSION
Commissioner Schwartz: City Commission approved Safe Routes to School project for a pathway on
the south side of Reeds Lake Blvd as part of a Federal grant that will go out to bid later this month.
Commissioner Michell asked if there was a traffic circle going in by the rock at Reeds Lake Blvd.
Deputy City Manager La Fave said that there was, but this was part of a local project.
