January 31 through February 7, 1987 and waive the fee for said license.
Mayor Mathre noted that the annual license fee for a Bingo License is $250.00; and she

waiving the entire fee.

sioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Commission approve the application

Request from Battered Women's Network - negotiation of condition in warranty deed that requires
that property remain on the tax rolls
Acting City Manager Gamradt presented to the Commission a letter from the Battered
Women's Network requesting negotiation of the condition in the warranty deed that requires
their property to remain on the tax rolls. He reminded the Commission that they had approved
signing of the warranty deed to transfer the subject property from the City of Bozeman to the
Battered Women's Network at its regular meeting held on November 3, 1986. He noted that I.
Condition No. 3 in that deed requires "That the NETWORK shall not take any action to remove i
the property from the tax rolls of Gallatin County so long as they occupy the real property;" '
and reminded the Commission that this same condition was contained in the original lease signed
in 1981.
Ms. Phyllis Bock, President of the Board of Di rectors for the Battered Women's Network,
stated that the minutes from the meeting of November 3 indicate that if the Network desired, it
could request negotiation of the subject condition. She then stated that the property taxes on
02-02-87
J7-r
the subject property increased from $600 to $850 this year, creating a hardship on their limited
budget.
Ms. Bock stated she has discussed the possibility of filing for tax exemption with the
State of Montana Department of Revenue and was assured that the Network could file even though
the restriction has been placed in the deed. She indicated that she felt she should approach
the Commission first, however, rather than simply filing the application. She also indicated an
I interest in paying the City a portion of the property taxes if the tax exempt status is granted.
City Attorney Becker noted that the State Department of Revenue must make the decision
on whether the subject property qualifies for tax exempt status. He then questioned whether
the property taxes could be divided. with the Network paying on the City portion of the
assessment.
Mayor Mathre noted that if the tax exempt status is approved, the Network would make a
payment-In-lieu of taxes for City services, rather paying through the tax assessment process.
Commissioner Vant Hull questioned whether the City could enter into an agreement for
payment-in-lieu of taxes, noting that legislation introduced during the last session to provide
for such payments did not pass. She then indicated that she still feels it would be a good idea
for the State to adopt enabling legislation to allow cities to enter into such an agreement with
nonprofit organizations who own their property. The Commissioner then asked what proportion
of the property taxes goes to the City.
Ms. Bock stated she does not have a copy of the tax notice with her, but she will provide
that information to the City.
Commissioner Martel stated he sympathizes with the Network over the increase in taxes
due to the reappraisal; but he feels they fall into the same category as individuals on low fixed
incomes. He indicated that he feels the City cannot make an exception in this instance.
Commissioner Martel then asked Ms. Bock if she had made application for an appeal when
the reappraisal notice was received. Ms. Bock stated that she did not receive the notice from
the executive director of the Network until after the deadline date. She then stated that the
I Network paid the taxes under protest; however, none of the paperwork had been submitted for
an appeal.
Commissioner Jordan asked if the Network had paid rent under the lease agreement during
the period 1981 through 1986. Ms. Bock stated they did not pay any rent; however, they did
pay the property taxes under the lease agreement.
Commissioner Jordan stated he would like additional information on the State's process
for granting a tax exempt status and whether the conditions in the warranty deed preclude such
action on the part of the State.
Ms. Bock stated the Network would be willing to enter into an agreement with the City
for cash-in-lieu payments if it does file for and receive a tax exempt status.
Commissioner Stiff expressed concern about the possibility of setting a precedent if this
request is approved, especially in light of the revenue problems. He then asked how many other
properties in Bozeman could possibly be affected through action on this item.
Commissioner Jordan stated he could support the Network's request as long as they are
willing to reimburse the City for the costs of providing services.
Ms. Bock stated the deadline for filing an application for tax exempt status is March 1,
1987.
Mayor Mathre requested that this item be placed on the agenda for further discussion
after the requested information has been obtained.
Discussion - draft letter for local governments as prepared by
I omrnlSSloner ant u
Acting City Manager Gamradt noted that the Commissioners had received copies of a draft
letter to legislators, as prepared by Commissioner Vant Hull, in their packets. He noted that
this is a result of last week's discussion under "FYI Items. II
Commissioner Vant Hull stated she feels it is important for the legislators to know that
the City supports them and to remind them that the local governments still need help on revenue
sources. She indicated the basic tone of the letter, which contains support, a reminder of
prior promises made, an indication that help is still needed, and a reminder that there is not a
02-02-87
078
lot of fat in local government, needs to be maintained; however, she would entertain any
suggestions for revision. The Commissioner then stated she feels it is important for the entire
Commission, or at least a majority of the Commission, to send a letter to the legislators remind-
ing them of local government problems and concerns,
Mayor Mathre noted that legislators need to be reminded that they must address local
government problems; but she is not sure how they feel about promises made by previous legisla-
tive bodies. The Mayor also expressed reservation about sending a letter to all legislators, I
indicating that she would support sending letters to the local legislators only.
Commissioner Jordan noted that the legislators don't seem to care about promises made
by other legislative bodies.
Following discussion, the Commissioners concurred that they were not willing to send a
letter to all legislators signed by all Commissioners; however, the individual Commissioners may
do whatever they deem appropriate.

I This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit re-
quested by John and Kathy Sobrepena to allow the development of a single-family residence in
an R-3- T district. The subject residence is located at 1415 South Church Avenue.
Mayor Mathre opened the public hearing.
Senior Planner Marcia Elkins presented the Staff Report. She stated the application
would allow construction of a single-family residence on a 4.46-acre tract known as Tract 18 of
the Bozeman Creek Annexation. She indicated the site is described as a portion of the south-
west quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 18, Township 2 South, Range 6 East, Montana
Principal Meridian, and is more commonly known as 1415 and 141St South Church Avenue. She
stated the subject parcel currently contains one single-fami Iy residence, a manufactured home
and seven accessory structures. The tract lies in an R-3-T, Residential--Single-family--
Medium-density-- Transitional Overlay, District, which was adopted by the Commission in
November 1984.
Senior Planner Elkins stated that the three criteria for the "T" district, as well as the
six criteria for Conditional Use Permits, were reviewed for this application. She noted that
particular areas of concern included location of development within the SOO-year floodplain, soils
limitations in the area, and access to South Church Avenue. The Senior Planner stated that
the Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on this application and concurred in the Planning
Staff's recommendation for approval, subject to eleven conditions.
Mr. John Sobrepena, applicant, stated that he agrees with all of the conditions which
I have been recommended by the Zoning Commission.
Commissioner Martel noted that, although Sourdough Road is designated as an arterial
street in the Master Plan, it does not enjoy the required right-of-way for that designation.
Senior Planner Elkins noted that additional right-of-way will need to be purchased before
the roadway can be developed to an arterial standard. She then indicated that when reviewing
a plan, the designated standard for the street is used in determining setbacks to assure that
the structure wi II remain viable after the roadway has been improved.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the proposed Conditional Use Permit.
Mayor Mathre closed the public hearing.

This was the time and place set for the public hearing on Commission Resolution No. 2644, I
entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2644
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, DECLARING IT TO BE THE INTENTION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
THE INHABITANTS THEREOF AND THE INHABITANTS OF A TRACT OF LAND
CONTIGUOUS TO SAID CITY OF BOZEMAN AND HEREIN MORE PAR.TICULARLY
DESCRIBED, TO EXTEND THE BOUNDARIES OF SAID CITY OF BOZEMAN SO AS
02-02-87
u81
TO INCLUDE SAID CONTIGUOUS TRACTS WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS
THEREOF.
Mayor Mathre opened the public hearing.
Senior Planner Marcia Elkins gave a brief synopsis of the Staff Report, which was
presented to the Commission on November 17, 1986. She noted the applicants have requested
annexation of approximately 40 acres, described as Tract A of Certificate of Survey No. 1215,
I located in the northwest one-quarter of Section 1, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana
Principal Meridian. The subject parcel is more commonly located at the southeast corner of the
intersection of Baxter Lane and North 19th Avenue extended.
The Senior Planner noted that the subject parcel is now surrounded by city limits on
three sides, with completion of the Perkins, Saccoccia and Tschache Annexation at last week's
meeting. She stated the land is currently zoned AS, Agricultural Suburban; and the Master
Plan land use designation is medium-density residential.
Senior Planner Elkins then stated that the applicant has requested a Master Plan Amend-
ment to allow light industrial and commercial development on a portion of the subject tract. She
noted that the staff recommended approval of the light industrial and denial of the commercial;
and the City-County Planning Board continued the public hearing on this item until the Master
Plan update has been completed. She then reminded the Commission of its policy that any Master
Plan Amendment on a parcel be completed before the annexation process is completed.
The Senior Planner stated that extensive street systems must be installed, as well as
water and sewer systems, before development may be started in the area. She noted that one
of the recommendations contained in the Staff Report is that the relationship between installation
of the improvements and development of the site be tied together.
Mr. Paul Kinshella, Sanderson/Stewart/Gaston Engineering, Inc., indicated that he repre-
sents the applicant. He noted that this tract was to have been included in the original annexa-
tion, which was completed last week; however, the applicant had not bought out the underlying
mortgage on the property until after that process started. He then noted that the annexation
I completed last week provides the right-of-way for a major portion of the realignment of Baxter
Lane; and annexation of this parcel will allow for completion of that realignment on a smooth
curve.
Mr. Kinshella then stated that the applicant proceeded with this annexation request prior
to completion of the Master Plan Amendment because he felt it could be important to the City's
discussions with the State Department of Highways concerning the North 19th Avenue interchange.
He further requested that the Commission proceed with the annexation process for this subject
tract, since it will take time to complete the necessary paperwork.
Planning Director Steve Lere noted that the applicant has submitted a letter indicating
that he would like to proceed with that portion of the Master Plan Amendment for light industrial,
allowing the commercial portion to wait until the update has been completed.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the requested annexation.
Mayor Mathre closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Commis-
sion waive the customary one-week waiting interval. The motion failed by the following Aye and
No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Martel and Commissioner Vant Hull; those voting
No being Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff and Mayor Mathre.
A decision will be forthcoming in one week.
Public hearing - Tentative Appropriation Ordinance for Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal
Year 1986-87
I This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Tentative Appropriation
Ordinance for the Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 1986-87, entitled:
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, APPROPRIATING CITY
FUNDS FOR VARIOUS CAPITAL ITEM EXPENDITURES FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1,

082
Acting City Manager Gamradt reminded the Commission that City Manager Wysocki had
completed a comprehensive review of the listed projects prior to adoption of this Tentative
Appropriation Ordinance at the January 12, 1987 meeting. He then noted that two questions
were raised during that meeting to which he will now respond.
87-205 Hazardous Materials van equipment - Phase II.
The County will pay its portion of the costs from its Revenue Sharing monies. He noted
that Commissioner Vant Hull had expressed concern that if the County paid its portion from the I
General Fund, City taxpayers would be paying for the equipment twice.
84-308 Water /Sewer capacity analysis.
This study would review the capacity of the water and sewer service lines, projecting
how many additional hookups could be accommodated with the existing lines. He noted this is
different from the analysis which was completed on the treatment plants.
Commissioner Martel asked if adoption of the Ordinance In its current tabulated form
would create a ranking of projects within the various categories.
The Acting City Manager stated that there is adequate funding for all of the projects;
and they will be completed based on need and timetables required in the bidding process.
Commissioner Martel then expressed reservations about the amount budgeted for rehabili-
tation of the Swim Center. He indicated that he feels a comprehensive study should be
completed prior to any construction work.
Acting City Manager Gamradt stated that an engineering firm will be hired to complete a
comprehensive review of the facility prior to any work. He noted that the monies for that
