1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Jim Smiertka moved to approve the Minutes of a Special LBA Meeting on October 14,
1997; supported by Mr. Rubley; approved by 3-0 vote.
2. GROESBECK GOLF COURSE RENOVATIONS
Doug Rubley gave a brief overview of this project and indicated the renovations are 99%
complete. Of the original bond proceeds, assuming that the bond costs come in at the original
estimate of 1.32 million, 1.3 million dollars has been expended. Mr. Rubley indicated that we
have $65,000 which could be returned to the bond interest income fund. Of the 1.303 million,
$50,000-$80,000 is needed to close out this project.
Jim Smiertka asked if storm shelters are on the golf course and Mr. Ballard indicated there are
two shelters and a maintenance facility. Mr. Ballard provided the members of LBA with items
which are needed to improve the golf course to a special caliber of golf course. Mr. Ballard
indicated that if money is available,the 9th hole will be the signature hole of the Lansing area.
Also, there is an overgrown thicket at the fenceline and improvements are requested to
accomplish the clean up and improvements for that hole as well.
Jim Smiertka requested an overview of the flow of monies for this project. Mr. Swanson
indicated that green fees will go toward payment of the debt service. The increased fee of$2.00
per round would go to pay for debt service. Jim Smiertka asked who is responsible for
advertising Groesbeck after the improvements have been completed. Bob Swanson advised that
would be the City's responsibility. Don Ballard indicated that more monies are being requested
in the FY99 golf course account for marketing and advertising.
Doug Rubley advised that the new monies will be not seen until the course has been running for
awhile. Representatives from Parks and Recreation will come back to an LBA meeting at a later
date with a list of additional items which need funding and the LBA can address the funding at
that time.
Don Ballard indicated that as to the approximate charge of$1.75,they are planning to start the
golf course at a higher charge than just the extra$1.75 surcharge, with the understanding that the
golf course will need improved maintenance. The current green-fee charges are $20 on
weekdays and $22 on weekends. Royal Scott charges $22 on weekdays and $24 on weekends
and after improvements have been made at Groesbeck, it will be a much nicer course at a lower
cost to patrons. Doug Rubley suggested a motion be made to get some sort of guaranty from the
County that the course is acceptable to the City for lost revenues.
Jim Smiertka moved to request the Parks and Recreation Department work with the Law
Department to facilitate the final payments to the county to insure that our interests are
protected; supported by Bob Swanson; motion approved 3-0.
The members of LBA requested that Parks and Recreation provide a list of improvements they
are recommending which are over and above the original base construction costs.
2. 1998 LANSING BUILDING AUTHORITY MEETING SCHEDULE:
James Smiertka moved to approve the 1998 Meeting Schedule; supported by Bob Swanson;
approved 3-0.
3. Other Business:
a) LANSING BUILDING AUTHORITY RESOLUTION APPROVING
CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES
Re: Fire Station Improvements; New Fire Department Training Station
including modular classrooms, blacktop, and burn room and
equipment, a new Police Department Firearms Training Range and
necessary site improvements, and appurtenant properties and.
facilities necessary or convenient for the effective use of the facilities
On December 8, 1997 the Lansing City Council approved Resolution#677: "Resolution
approving Notice of Intention of Entering into Building Authority Contract for Public Safety
Facilities" (the improvements are listed above). The Resolution before the LBA today is for
approval by the Lansing Building Authority of the Contract for Public Safety Facilities regarding
the Fire Station improvements, specifically named above.
The first thing that will need to be done is to identify a site for the construction of the Fire Station
Improvements. Mr. Rubley indicated that this seems pretty straightforward as to the financing
since City Council has already approved the Contract of Lease.
Bob Swanson moved to approve the Resolution Approving Contract For Public Safety
Facilities; Jim Smiertka provided support to the motion; approved 3-0.
2. Pere Marquette- Interstate Foods
Dave Berridge indicated that at the October 1997 meeting,the LBA authorized the Purchase of
Interstate Foods. Emil Winnicker asked if it is a Council Action which is necessary for this to
proceed. Mr. Berridge indicated that the funding for this project is in part of the 1990 LBA
parking bonds. Mr. Winnicker asked if the prior Council action is sufficient to move forward.
Mr. Smiertka indicated that LBA has been authorized to acquire properties and this purchase was
from excess lease payment to the City.
Jim Smiertka indicated that the Charter does not apply to this issue as LBA is operating under the
authority of State statute.
Emil Winnicker indicated that this property does not fall within the parameters of the original
area in the 1990 bond issue. Mr. Smiertka requested clarification as to this funding. Mr. Rubley
indicated he assumes LBA would license the Transportation Division to run this lot. Mr.
Smiertka indicated parking is an authorized purpose under the Lease which LBA can proceed
with. Mr. Berridge indicated that Transportation Division has been given authority by way of
approval via motions at LBA meetings, but no formal agreements have been entered into
regarding this lot. This acquisition was purchased with unrestricted funds for parking and
therefore is authorized by state statute. Bob Swanson indicated that at such time as may occur
that any profits from this lot should be returned to the LBA for other permissible actions.
Bob Swanson moved that at such time as parking fees are acquired through LBA,
unrestricted funds become profit that these monies be returned to LBA; supported by
James Smiertka; approved 3-0.
c) Balance of 1990 Bond Proceeds:
Doug Rubley indicated that action needs to be taken as to the balance of the 1990 Bond proceeds;
also, he indicated that he believes that the statute of limitations has run out on a couple of court
cases. Mr. Swanson asked Mr. Danhof from Miller, Canfield, et al. to make recommendations
on the proceeds of the 1990 bond proceeds.
d) Baseball Stadium -- Misc. Action regarding Deeds
Mr. Rubley indicated that he believes there are technical aspects of the deeds on the Stadium
Plaza and the Alley which have not been completed. Mr. Smiertka indicated that this matter has
been assigned to Assistant City Attorney Brian Bevez and he will discuss the matter with him.
PUBLIC COMMENT: None

supported by Mr. Rubley; approved by 2-0 vote.
2. INTERSTATE PARKING LOT-ACQUISITION
Doug Rubley indicated David Berridge was present to review the memo he provided to the members of
LBA regarding the parking lot at Interstate Foods. Mr. Berridge advised that the City has received a
written offer to sell the Interstate Foods Parking Lot(#50)from the attorney representing the owners of
the property. The purchase price for the lot is $15,000. Mr. Smiertka asked about the value of the
property and what ramifications it has on the License Agreement the LBA has with Interstate Foods. Mr.
Berridge advised that the License Agreement would become null and void. Mr. Smiertka also asked why
Interstate Foods want to sell the lot. Mr.Berridge advised that there is an underground storage tank on
the property and Interstate Foods is fearful of litigation if the City will not remove the tank at the City's cost.
The benefits of purchasing the property is that(1)the City has already invested$40,000 and(2)even if
the City does not purchase the lot,the City is still responsible to pay for removal of the tank since the
property originally was given from the City to Interstate Foods as part of the property settlement for
acquisition of property for the baseball stadium.
Mr. Smiertka moved to appropriate $24,500 for the Interstate Foods Parking Lot acquisition
(which includes a$3,200 contingency) from unexpended fund balance to account number 513
453660-974000-12064; Mr. Smiertka further moved these monies would be utilized for the
approved acquisition of this lot by the LBA for a purchase price of$15,000,contingent upon: (1)
termination of the License Agreement;(2)removal of the underground storage tank by SME for
an amount not to exceed$6,300 which would include removal of the tank,backfilling of the hole,
patching the lot and preparing the required environmental reports; and(4)certification as to the
availability of funds by the Finance Director; supported by Mr. Rubley; motions carried 2-0.

present.
1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Jim Smiertka moved to approve the Minutes of a Special LBA Meeting on April 9, 1997;
supported by Mr. Swanson; approved by 2-0 vote. (Doug Rubley abstained from voting as he
was not an LBA member at the time of the 4/9/97 meeting.
2. B-1 SITE - STATUS REPORT
David Berridge updated the members of LBA regarding the B-1 Site and provided two estimates for
the construction. One estimate was submitted by Walker Parking Consultants for potential basement
level in the amount of$2,788,875.50, with a 10% contingency. Dave Berridge advised that all of
the costs are not included with the Walker estimate and that an additional$400,000 (approximately)
can be expected.
Bob Swanson and Doug Rubley discussed the specifics of the construction plans and the drawings
provided by Mr. Berridge. Mr. Berridge indicated there is no platform level and it appears LBA has
no money at this time.
The second estimate provided by Jonna Construction Company and is for an amount of 4.3 million
dollars approximately, with a 5% contingency. This project submitted by Jonna is considered a
Union project.
LBA previously approved the B-1 Site for an amount of$2.6 million dollars in bond residuals and
there are some other sources to tap for funding. It appears the cost for this project will be somewhere
between 2.8 million and 4.3 million dollars.
Mr. Berridge advised that Luckenbach Ziegelman and Partners,Inc. is ready to move into the design
and build phase. LBA has no specific contract with them.

this

approximately$400,000.
3. B-1 SITE - TRANSFER OF FUNDS FOR ADDITIONAL SOIL TESTING
Mr. Berridge provided a memo dated June 5, 1997 regarding additional soils testing services for the
B-1 Site. Attached to the memo is a proposed agreement with Soils and Materials Engineers (SME)
for this service for an additional amount of $13,000. These services are required to provide
information to the design consultants about the soils conditions so that final foundation design can
proceed on the project. The LBA will be reimbursed by Lansing Community College for a portion
of these expenses since SME will be analyzing the possibility of excavating for a basement level on
the site to be paid for and used by LCC.
Mr. Berridge recommended that LBA appropriate
1390001 for
0 to the B 1 Parking Ramp Design
project from Fund Balance Account No. 513 000000
Services Account No. 513 933690 974003 55001.
Jim Smiertka asked if this was covered by a purchase order and Mr. Berridge advised that the
blanket purchase order with SME expired April 30, 1997. Mr. Smiertka asked if approving this
transfer meets with the bidding requirements of the City of Lansing's purchasing ordinance; Mr.
Berridge answered, "no", as this project has not been bid out. Bob Swanson indicated that LBA is
exempt from the purchasing ordinance and fizrther indicated that the Agreement Jonna has with SME

SME is currently working across the street from the project site, and that LBA appropriate
$13,000 for the geotechnical services for the additional soil testing from Fund Balance Account

Agreement with Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone relating to the B-1 Site;
supported by Mr. Swanson; approved by 2-0 vote.
2. B-1 SITE - LANSING BUILDING AUTHORITY RESOLUTION
Bob Swanson indicated that City Council adopted a resolution on Monday, April 7,
1997 for approval of the B-1 Site; LBA has a resolution before it today for approval
regarding the same matter. Jim Smiertka asked if this bond issue is for an amount
not to exceed 2.6 million dollars which includes all costs such as architects,
consultants, etc. Mr. Swanson indicated that approximately $10,000-$15,000 of
interest will be accruing per month. Jim Smiertka and Bob Swanson discussed the
terms of the resolution as to construction. The resolution approves the B-1 Site for
construction of a parking deck and includes a structural premium. This Resolution
does not authorize any Agreements. Chris Demboski, Attorney from Miller, Canfield
for the Lansing Building Authority, was present to speak regarding this bond issue
and indicated that the parking issue content in this resolution is a proper use of
public monies which is for public parking. There may be some private use issues
that will need to be addressed as to where you get parking for the public/private use
matter associated with Jonna. Bob Swanson moved to approve this resolution;
seconded by Jim Smiertka; Resolution approved by 2-0 roll call vote.
B-1 SITE (Continued)
Pre-Design Agreements
Dave Berridge indicated that last week proposed agreements were submitted from
Jonna; specifically, four pre-design agreements to determine the logistical and
financial issues associated with this ramp and potential private use. The four
agreements for preliminary design of the B-1 Project are with the following
companies: Jonna Construction Company; Luckenbach Ziegelman &Partners; Walker
Parking Consultants Engineers; and Soils and Materials Engineers (SME) . Jim
Smiertka moved that all four pre-design agreements be approved subject to approval
by the City Attorney's office for a total amount not to exceed $50,000; and further
moved that approval of a Building Authority transfer in the amount of $50,000 be
made from the 1990 Bond Fund Balance (Retained Earnings) 513 000000 390001 0 to
the B-1 Parking Ramp Design Services Account 513 453660 974003 55001; supported
by Bob Swanson; motion approved by 2-0 roll call vote.
John Roberts, Deputy City Attorney, asked that the ramifications of some of the
proposals from Jonna is that they are subject to Council approval. Negotiations have
been ongoing concerning availability of parking, and the City bond compliance issues
remain in that regard. Mr. Roberts indicated that Chris Demboski submitted a letter
from Miller Canfield, et al. regarding private use vs. public use funds. Mr. Roberts
asked Mr. Demboski about that concept and how to structure the language to enable
the City to continue with this project and stay in compliance with the bond
requirements. Discussion ensued regarding the specific requirements of the bond
proceeds and Mr. Demboski indicated that up to 10% of the bond proceeds can be
used for private use; that revenues from the baseball stadium can be divided by the
costs so, therefore, approximately 1/6 of revenues are accounted for.
Mr. Smiertka moved to adjourn at 3:55 p.m. ; supported and adjourned.
