SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2026
The Special Meeting of the Grand Haven City Council was called to order at 6:30 p.m. by Mayor
Bob Monetza in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 519 Washington Ave.
Present:
Council Members Mayor Pro-tem Mike Dora, Mike Fritz, Sarah Kallio, Erin Lyon,
Mayor Bob Monetza.
Absent:
Others Present:
City Manager Ashley Latsch, Assistant City Manager Dana Kollewehr,
and Waterfront & Events Manager Brian Jarosz.
PUBLIC HEARING
Mayor Monetza opened the public hearing regarding a resolution to request the
Department of Natural Resources to investigate and hold a public hearing to determine the
need for speed control on the Grand River adjacent to the frontage of Eastpointe RV
Resort Marina located at 200 N Beechtree St.
Derek Gajdos introduced the resolution request. The proposed resolution would extend the
current no-wake-zone on the Grand River from Eastpointe RV Resort Marina’s easterly
boundary at Beechtree Street to their southern boundary. After this public hearing, and if the
resolution passes, the DNR will conduct their own investigation.
Joel Walker from Eastpointe RV Resort presented further information on this request stating they
are requesting a clearly defined controlled speed area immediately adjacent to East Point RV
Marina, consistent with the protections provided to other nearby marinas, primarily for safety.
John Bigma from Bar Associates briefly spoke about the boundary map.
Mike Joseph, 7170 Pine Valley Dr: Commented on the proposed no-wake-zone.
Jim Van Tall, 15749 Kitchel Ln: Commented on the proposed no-wake-zone.
Email correspondence from Rob Rogers, Maureen and Gary Pawlak, Jason Van Ittersum, Leda
Vander Laan, and Todd Neil regarding the proposed no-wake-zone was accepted and is attached
hereto.

No wake
From Rob Rogers <[email protected]>
Date Sun 9/20/2026 11:14 AM
To
Derek Gajdos <[email protected]>
I wanted to comment regarding the proposed no wake extension by the Eastpoint Campground. First I
oppose extending the no-wake zone any further than it already is. That marina is empty - never is
there more than a handful of boats and when there are boats they park near the most eastern end.
What you should consider is extending the no wake for boats over 26’ further west from where it starts
now upriver near Dermo Bayou - pontoon boats and fishing boats on plane make minimal wake - it is
the much larger power boats that create the most wake. While I am opposed to any extension of the
no wake - if you do extend it you should probably continue it all the way down Lost Channel to the
marina where a no wake starts back up. While we are on it - is there ever a plan to improve the Flahive
Launch? It’s getting shallow and many down trees/branches. Thanks for your time and asking for
feedback.

NO to the Extension Request that was submitted by Eastpointe RV Resort
From Maureen Pawlak <[email protected]>
Date Sun 9/20/2026 3:24 PM
To
Derek Gajdos <[email protected]>
Derek,
We are unable to attend the public hearing tomorrow evening regarding the extension request
submitted by Eastpoint RV Resort.
My husband and I want to make it clear that we do not support the requested extension, nor do we
support adding additional no-wake areas along the Grand River.
Eastpoint RV Resort chose to build docks along the Grand River knowing that this area was designated
as a wake area. Changing the rules after the fact seems unfair to those who have enjoyed and relied
on the existing regulations.
To me, this is similar to purchasing a home near an airport and then later requesting that the airport
restrict its operations because of the noise. The existing conditions were known when the decision to
build or purchase was made.
We respectfully ask that you consider our position and deny the extension request.
Thank you in advance, Maureen (Allen) and Gary Pawlak

Eastpointe RV park no-wake zone extension request
From Jason Van Ittersum <[email protected]>
Date Mon 9/21/2026 10:53 AM
To
Derek Gajdos <[email protected]>
I am writing to express my opposition to this proposal. I have a seasonal boat slip in Grand
Haven and a home upriver, and frequently use this section of river for both recreation and
transit.
If approved, this would add 10-20 minutes of round-trip travel to an already painfully long nowake zone to every boater; this is an unreasonable inconvenience to impose on the general
boating public to benefit a single private developer.
This would also eliminate a valuable recreational area currently used for tubing and waterskiing,
and force more congestion into already limited areas where these can be safely done.
The landowner made an extremely ill-advised decision to develop a marina in a location wellknown to be subjected to significant wave action; their grievance is self-inflicted, and the
remedy should not come at the expense of the rest of the boating community. It is the
equivalent of someone moving next to an established farm then requesting the farm be shut
down because they object to the smell.
Sincerely,
Jason Van Ittersum

Support for Grand River No Wake Extension
From Leda Vander Laan <[email protected]>
Date Mon 9/21/2026 11:57 AM
To
Derek Gajdos <[email protected]>
Good morning Derek,
I am writing to express my full support for the proposed Grand River No Wake extension east past
Eastpointe RV Resort.
My husband and I are currently purchasing a condo slip within the existing No Wake area, and we
have personally witnessed how frequently the current restrictions are disregarded by boaters as
members at Grand Isle since 2021. Extending the No Wake zone would be a welcome improvement for
the safety of everyone enjoying this stretch of the river, while also helping protect boats, docks, and
waterfront property from unnecessary wake damage.
We would love to see this extension approved and implemented in time for the 2027 boating season.
Thank you for your time and consideration!

Message:
Dear Mayor and City Council members,
I am writing regarding tonight’s public hearing concerning the proposed extension of the no wake zone
along the Grand River adjacent to East End RV. I use the Grand River regularly for transportation and
have concerns about changing the existing wake zone after development has already occurred. East End
RV invested to develop along this stretch of river, and I believe the impacts and operating conditions
associated with boat traffic should have been evaluated as part of the planning and approval process
before that investment. The Scott Flahive boat launch at East Grand River Park and adjacent properties
have operated within the existing wake zone the entire time. In addition, between East End RV and
Coastal Zone Marina, there is a fishing dock and another boat launch also operating in this stretch. If the
concern is wake impacts, I believe the City and DNR should evaluate the entire section of river and apply
consistent criteria to all existing boat launches, fishing docks, marinas, and river users. As a river user, I
rely on predictable rules, not shifting restrictions after the fact. Thank you for considering my comments.
Sincerely, Todd Neil.

DATE:

SUBJECT: Operating Agreement with Mulligan’s Hollow Ski Bowl Association
The City of Grand Haven has historically contracted with the Mulligan’s Hollow Ski Bowl
Association to manage and operate the Mulligan’s Hollow Ski Bowl during the winter season. The
City owns the land, buildings, and equipment associated with the Ski Bowl, while the Association
provides the staffing, programming, and day-to-day operational oversight necessary to operate
the facility. The current agreement originated in 2019 and has been updated to better reflect
current operations, responsibilities, and expectations of both parties.
Attached for City Council’s consideration is a revised Management and Operations Agreement
between the City and the Association, with an effective date of November 1, 2026. The proposed
agreement establishes a term through April 1, 2032, with the ability for the parties to
subsequently extend the agreement through additional one-year terms.
Agreement Overview
The revised agreement more clearly defines the respective responsibilities of the City and the
Association and updates the agreement to reflect actual operating practices. The Association will
continue to manage and operate the Ski Bowl during the defined winter season and will be
responsible for staffing, regulatory compliance, safety practices, programming, equipment
maintenance, facility upkeep during its operating season, financial accounting, and collection of
operating revenues.
The agreement further clarifies the financial relationship between the parties. The Association
will account for revenues generated through Ski Bowl operations and reimburse the City for
specified utility and insurance costs, subject to the terms of the agreement. As in the past,
operating revenue exceeding $10,000 that is not used within the City fiscal year will be
transferred to the Mulligan’s Hollow fund maintained through the Grand Haven Area Community
Foundation for future equipment or capital improvements.
The City will continue to provide certain support for the facility, including payment of regular
utility bills, maintenance and snow plowing of the access drive and parking areas, insurance
coverage, and maintenance of the Capital Improvement Fund through the Grand Haven Area
Community Foundation.
Overall, the revised agreement is intended to provide clearer expectations for both parties,
appropriately distinguish responsibilities during and outside of the winter operating season, and
establish greater consistency between the written agreement and the manner in which the Ski
Bowl is currently operated.

SUBJECT: Development Agreement – Diesel Plant
The City previously entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Redevelopment of
Real Estate associated with the former Diesel Plant property at 518 S. Harbor Drive. Since
executing that agreement, the City has completed the sale of the property, and the
developer has continued to evaluate and refine the redevelopment plan.
The agreement before City Council has therefore been substantially revised to reflect the
property's and project's current status. Importantly, the document is no longer intended
to serve as a purchase agreement. The property has already been conveyed, and the
revised agreement is intended to serve as the Development Agreement (Agreement)
governing the parties’ respective obligations for the property’s redevelopment. The
Agreement expressly recognizes that the prior due diligence period has expired and that
the City has completed its sale of the property.
Revised Development Agreement
Following Council direction, the revised Agreement, drafted by the City Attorney,
removes many of the provisions associated with the original real estate transaction,
including provisions concerning the purchase price, earnest money, due diligence, closing,
delivery of the deed, and other matters that are no longer applicable following the
completed sale. The remaining and revised provisions are focused primarily on
establishing the expectations and obligations associated with redevelopment of the site.
Notably, the Agreement establishes an updated redevelopment concept for the property.
Exhibit B currently contemplates approximately 12,000 square feet of commercial space,
associated parking, and 15–20 residential condominium units. The developer is also
expected to make a good-faith effort to reach an agreement with the Grand Haven
Children’s Museum for use of a portion of the commercial space.
The Agreement also establishes a timeframe for commencement of construction and
defines commencement as substantive site preparation and construction activity rather
than demolition or razing of the existing structure alone. The proposed Agreement
further addresses the City's rights if the development does not proceed as required,
including revisions to the City's existing repurchase provisions.

Agreement, within fourteen (14) months after the date of this Agreement (the "Commencement
Date”). Demolition or razing of the existing structure or any part thereof shall NOT be deemed to
satisfy the requirement of commencement of construction. Rather, commencement of
construction means site preparation and at least the excavation of a footing trench and the pouring
of footings or the structural equivalent thereof. Buyer further covenants and agrees that upon
commencement, Buyer will proceed in good faith to complete construction of the Project in a
commercially reasonable timeframe. Exhibit B includes a narrative description of the Project, but
the parties understand and agree that more formal renderings, construction drawings and a site
plan, all of which shall be generally consistent with the content of Exhibit B will all need to be
completed and submitted and approved by Seller’s Planning Commission and/or its zoning and/or
building officials.
6.
Right of First Refusal. Buyer's ownership of the Property shall be subject to the following
Right of First Refusal ("ROFR"). If at any time prior to completion of the Project Buyer receives a
bona fide offer from a third party to purchase all or substantially all of the Property (a “Third-Party
Offer”) which Third-Party Offer Buyer wishes to accept, Buyer shall first promptly deliver a copy
of the Third-Party Offer to Seller. Seller shall have 21 days from receipt of same to exercise its
right to purchase the Property by agreeing to match the exact price, terms, and conditions set
forth in the Third-Party Offer. If Seller timely exercises its right in writing, the parties shall proceed
to closing pursuant to the terms of the Third-Party Offer. If Seller fails to timely exercise its right
or waives same in writing, Buyer shall have the right to sell the Property to the third party under
terms no less favorable than those offered to Seller. If but only if such sale to the third party does
not close according to the terms of the Third-Party Offer, this ROFR shall revive and apply to any
subsequent offers. For purposes of clarity, the parties do NOT intend the ROFR to apply to the
individual condominium units expected to be established as part of the completed Project, but
only to a sale of all or substantially all of the Property. The ROFR shall be confirmed with a
document recorded with the Ottawa County Register of Deeds (the “OCROD”). In order to
facilitate Buyer's financing of the Project, Seller shall subordinate any and all of its rights under
the ROFR to any lender or investment partner upon Buyer’s request. Seller’s subordination
obligation is subject to Seller’s right to approve any successor developer of the Property and the
development plan for the Property, which approvals will not be unreasonably withheld. Seller’s
ROFR shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon Buyer’s substantial completion of
the Project, and in such event Seller shall promptly and at its cost and expense, record with the
OCROD such instrument as is necessary to discharge the ROFR and clear Buyer’s title to the
Property of same. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the phrase “substantial completion”
shall not be deemed to require the build-out of the interior of the commercial space reference in
Exhibit B.

SUBJECT: Transfer of Commercial Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate
In November 2025, the City approved a Commercial Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate for
Beechtree Leasing LLC to rehabilitate and redevelop the property at 1445 Columbus Street. The
State Tax Commission (STC) did not issue the certificate before renewing the Commercial
Rehabilitation Act (Act) in the summer of 2026, after it had sunsetted at the end of 2025.
Before the certificate’s approval at the STC, the LLC changed its ownership name to 1445
Columbus LLC. As a result, the STC is asking that the City approve the updated application to
accurately reflect the current LLC.
The property remains under the same development team, project scope, and property
associated with the approved certificate. The requested transfer reflects a change in the LLC that
now holds the property and development.
The transfer does not modify the terms, duration, or benefits of the previously approved
Commercial Rehabilitation Exemption Certificate. Rather, it updates the certificate holder to
accurately reflect the current legal entity associated with the property.
City Council is being asked to approve the current Commercial Rehabilitation Exemption
Certificate name change from Beechtree Leasing LLC to 1445 Columbus LLC, subject to any
required documentation and processing by the State of Michigan State Tax Commission.

SUBJECT:
Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-saving
Transportation Program (PROTECT) grant program
______________________________________________________________________________
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program provides funding to plan for and make surface
transportation more resilient to current and future weather events, natural disasters,
and changing conditions, such as severe storms, flooding, drought, levee and dam
failures, wildfire, rockslides, mudslides, sea level rise, extreme weather, including
extreme temperatures, and earthquakes. Its current funding cycle is open until October
9, 2026 and funding is available for Planning and Resilience construction activities.
The City has identified several areas where data is missing regarding current
vulnerabilities, especially as it relates to storm sewers, streets, groundwater and water
modeling for it to effectively design future projects. This grant would provide 100% of
funding to procure the data needed to plan and design future infrastructure in the city. It
would also help position the city well for future implementation grant funds. The grant
tasks would help the city investigate:
Proposed Tasks
1. Project management and grant administration. Schedule, reporting, invoicing,
regular meetings.
2. Existing conditions. Compile as-builts, dated failure and repair records, and
closures citywide. Camera-inspect priority areas’ storm sewers to help determine
the cause of failures that contribute to damage to roadway assets. Check for
storm sewer flow during dry weather. Screen the citywide road and storm
network using the asset management plans to identify other vulnerable areas.
3. Hazards and future conditions. Identify rainfall standard to which the pipes were
built and identify future projections. Identify Lake Michigan and Grand River
levels at outfalls and low-lying roads, including Harbor Island. Estimate seasonal
water table from soil survey data. Primarily a desktop review exercise.
4. Groundwater monitoring. Wells and continuous loggers along Grant Avenue
and at other priority locations through at least one fall-to-spring season.
5. Geotechnical investigation. Borings, soil testing, and void checks at failure
locations. Identifies cause of soil loss, provides data to be used in design,
identifies whether nature-based solutions are feasible, and can be used for
ongoing monitoring.
6. Storm sewer H&H model. Storm sewer data collection and H&H model. Collect
data needed in priority areas identified by the citywide screening (Grant Avenue,
Harbor Island, the east side, others). Modeling would show flow with current
and future rainfall, outfall water levels, and seasonal groundwater. Models show
where system is undersized for current weather/groundwater effects.
7. Vulnerability finding. Separate weather and groundwater effects from age and
condition. Rank segments citywide. Model closure and detour scenarios for
schools, businesses, emergency response, and the US-31 crossings at Grant
Avenue and Harbor Island Drive.
8. Strategies and conceptual design. Alternatives covering pipe size, joints and
bedding, underdrains, road base, inlets, roadway elevation at Harbor Island, and
nature-based options (such as bioretention, vegetated swales, detention, and
pavement removal, as used in RIDOT's Turning the Tide application). Develop
conceptual cost estimates and design criteria for the City's final design.
9. Emergency response and detours. A closure and detour plan with Public Safety
and Ottawa County Emergency Management.
10. Implementation plan and method guide. Funding strategy and phasing. A short
guide for other Great Lakes cities with high lake levels, sandy soils, and seasonal
groundwater, shared through WMSRDC and MIO TAC.
Applying to the PROTECT grant would also aid the city in meeting requirements from the PreDevelopment Accelerator Program grant award to apply to a federal funding source within a
year of its award.
