Discussion - rescheduling of free dump day
City Manager Wysocki stated that Commissioner Martel had requested this item be placed
on the agenda.
Commissioner Martel noted that the weather on Saturday, April 30, was not conducive to
spring clean-up activities. He then suggested that the Commission should reschedule the second
free dump day for city residents for Saturday, May 7, noting that the City had previously indi-
I cated that two days would be set aside for clean-up projects.
It was moved by Commissioner Goehrung, seconded by Commissioner Hawks, that the Com-
mission reschedule the second free dump day for city residents for Saturday, May 7, 1988. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Goehrung, Commissioner Hawks, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Martel and Mayor Stiff;
those voting No, none.
Discussion - setting of goals for Fiscal Year 1988-89
City Manager Wysocki stated that a number of items pertaining to this agenda item were
distributed in the Commissioners' packets, including a listing of all of the goals, a ballot in-
cluding those goals which received the highest ranking in each category, and several memos from
staff members suggesting possible goals to be added to the list. The City Manager noted that
both the Recreation Superintendent and Director of Libraries are concerned about being included
under lIamenities" and concurred in their suggestion that they be split into a separate category.
Following a brief discussion, the Commissioners concurred that the I isting should stand as
established at last week's meeting; and that goals concerning the library and recreation were ap-
propriately placed. The Commissioners acknowledged that these two provide basic services even
though they have been listed under a heading entitled "culture, recreation and amenities."
The Commissioners then concurred that most of those items contained in the information
submitted by staff are addressed through the capital improvement program and, therefore,
should not be incorporated into this process.
I Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that after the Commissioners prioritize the top goals for
the upcoming fiscal year, they should go back through the list and determine whether a majority
of the Commissioners support each individual goal. She indicated those goals not receiving at
least three votes would then be dropped from the list, since they do not reflect the total Com-
mission's interests.
City Manager Wysocki expressed concern that some of the items contained on last year's
list do not appear on this year's list. He noted that the staff is currently working on several of
those goals; and he feels some of those should be retained rather than dropped for new ones.
Several of the Commissioners indicated that they had voted for goals that had not ap-
peared on last year's list, noting that they had considered those currently in process would still
receive attention and consideration.
Commissioner Goehrung suggested that five new headings be established as follows, noting
that all of the goals listed would fall under those headings. He indicated those headings could
then be prioritized as the Commission deems appropriate. (1) Commitment to quality government;
(2) pursue financial options for the City; (3) create and implement City traffic plan; (4) plan-
ning and zoning; and (5) beautification.
Mayor Stiff indicated he had taken a similar approach, suggesting that the following four
major challenges must be addressed separately: (1) movement of traffic; (2) movement of water;
(3) sewage problems; and (4) sol id waste matters.
The Commissioners then redistributed the twenty-six goals ranked at last week's meeting
into five categories, as follows:
I COMMITMENT TO QUALITY GOVERNMENT
Open staff/management/commission
Revise/review ordinances as necessary
- snow shoveling
Timely update of
- business license ordinance

City employee reward/award; resident incentives

PLANNING AND ZONING I
Streamlining, i.e., multiple use
An nexations--agg ress ive
Restrict obnoxious or hazardous industrial plants
Mayor Stiff noted these goals represent Commission policy. He then noted that some of
the goals contained on the original list, as well as the above list, would take little staff time to
accomplish, citing handicapped parking as an example. He then suggested that those requiring
little time could possibly be accomplished, even if they are not on the finalized list.
Commissioner Martel asked about the goal under "commitment to quality government" stat-
ing "open staff/management/commission." Commissioner Hawks indicated that he had placed that
item on the list as re-enforcement for the existing format, not to indicate a need for change.
Mayor Stiff stated that the City did have an employee awards program established at one
point in time; and he feels that could be revitalized with a minimum of effort.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that the Commissioners may wish to simply reaffirm the
existing goals, rather than voting for them at this time; and the Commissioners concurred that
process should be followed.
Commissioner Hawks asked when the proposed goals for the upcoming fiscal year are to be
submitted for a public hearing. Following discussion, the Commissioners determined that a pub-
lic hearing is not necessary; therefore, they will proceed with choosing the top goals from those
listed.
The Commissioners then selected the top six goals for Fiscal Year 1988-89, as follows: I
Rank Vote Tie Tie
- - -
I 5 Road funding mechanism
- local

The Commissioners concurred that they would defer the listing of goals under solid waste,
sewer and water until after the public hearings to be held during the evening session.
Fifth Monday discussions
Mayor Stiff noted that much of this discussion was held during the goal setting process.
He then suggested that due to the late hour, no additional discussion should take place at this
time.
Discussion - FYI Items
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission the following "For Your Information"
items.
(1) A letter from an anonymous dog owner suggesting that a City employee canvass
the community for unlicensed dogs.
(2) Agenda for the Board of Adjustment meeting to be held on May 2, 1988.
I (3 ) Memos from Director of Public Service Holmes and City Attorney Becker concerning
local preference in the "Request for Proposals" for an engineering study for the North 19th Ave-
nue interchange.
The City Attorney stated that after last week's meeting, he reviewed the statute to de-
termine whether local preference can be given when reviewing requests for proposals for engi-
neering studies. He then cited the statute as it defines resident bidder: "any person who has
been a resident of the state for a period of more than one year immediately prior to the bid-
ding." He noted that the statute also indicates that it appl ies to political subdivisions of the
State. He then concluded that under the statute, the City may not limit its request for propos-
als for the location study for the North 19th Avenue interchange to Bozeman firms only.
The City Attorney stated that the statute does set forth the minimum criteria for selection
of the firm; and since the City has not adopted others, it must follow those listed. He indicated
that location is listed as the third criteria; therefore, it can become a factor in the selection
process.
City Attorney Becker stated that under the request for proposals, cost is not a factor.
He noted that is negotiated with the firm selected after review of the criteria has been com-
pleted. He indicated that if a satisfactory price cannot be reached, the City may break negoti-
ations with that firm and begin the process with another firm.
Commissioner Martel noted that public contracts usually contain language that protects the
governing body, stating that the owner reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to ac-
cept that which is most beneficial to the owner. He suggested that same language be included in
I the request for proposals. He then indicated concern about this process, indicating that he
feels preference should be given to qualified local firms.
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commissioners that federal or state monies could be-
come involved in this project. He then cautioned them to be careful to meet those guidelines as
well as the statutory requirements in an attempt to avoid a duplication of work and costs.
The Commission concurred that the request for proposals must be made available to all
interested engineering firms within the State.
Commissioner Martel noted the majority of the Commission does support accepting propos-
als from engineering firms within the State; however, he feels a better approach could be taken.

(4) The City Manager indicated that Planning Director Andy Epple will be attending
the Highway Commission meeting on Friday.
(5) The City Manager reminded the Commission that the CNFR Parade Committee has
requested that he and the Commissioners serve as Grand Marshall for this year's parade. He
noted that the entry form must be submitted shortly and asked that those interested in parti-
cipating contact him.
(6) The City Manager reminded the Commissioners that I nteragency Breakfast will be I
held on Wednesday, May 11, at 7: 00 a. m. at the Baxter.
(7) Mayor Stiff indicated he is impressed with the water report for the end of March.
(8) Mayor Stiff stated he has received a letter from the School District indicating that
they will be holding a charrette on May 21 and has asked that a couple City Commissioners be
involved. He then indicated he will be unable to attend and asked that those Commissioners in-
terested in participating contact the Clerk of the Commission by Thursday.

ess, fully realizing that the delinquency does exist.
Mr. Mike Rodrique, property owner within the proposed district, noted that the City has
requested that at least 80 percent of the property owners within the proposed district sign an

Public hearing - Subdivision Regulation Amendment - Planning Staff - amend Section 16.38. 020D (2)
to delete requirement that subsequent relocations of common boundaries go through the subdivi-
sion process
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Subdivision Regulation Amend-
ment, as requested by the Planning Staff, amending Section 16.38.020D(2) of the Bozeman Munici-
pal Code to delete the requirement that subsequent relocations of common lot boundaries go
through the subdivision process.
Mayor Stiff opened the public hearing.
Planner Bill Murdock presented the Staff Report. He stated that the Subdivision Regula-
tions contain provisions for exemption to the Subdivision Review Act. He noted that the Plan-
ning Staff has recommended, and the City-County Planning Board has concurred, that the sub-
ject exemption could be deleted.
The Planner noted that even with this deletion, the staff must review the plat; and the
Director of Public Service must sign it. He indicated that at the present time, a common lot
boundary may be relocated once without going through the Subdivision Review Act; and this amend-
ment will simply allow subsequent relocations without going through the entire review process.
He stated that this amendment will not allow the formation of a new lot without going through the
appropriate review process. Planner Murdock also noted that all zoning regulations must also be
met in the lot line relocation process.
I Commissioner Martel asked if this proposed amendment would allow a neighbor to sell a
portion of his lot to allow another individual to meet the zoning regulations.
Planner Murdock stated that such a transaction would be possible, as long as both proper-
ties meet the zoning regulations for that district.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the proposed Subdivision Regulation Amend-
ment.
Mayor Stiff closed the public hearing.
