priated through the Capital Improvement Program. He noted that the apparent low bid must be
rejected because it was not accompanied by the required bid bond. He then concurred in the

Commission Resolution No. 2652 - authorizinq. participation in the NTERCAP Program through the
Montana Eco~omic Development_Board and approving the -Commitme ,t Aqreement
City Manager presented Commission Resolution No. 2652. as reviewed by the City Attorney,
entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2652
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY 'OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, RELATING TO THE MONTANA ECONOMIC DEVEtLOPMENT BOARD'S
INTERCAP PROGRAM; APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION THEREIN
AND APPROVING THE COMMITMENT AGREEMENT.
The City Manager stated that the application for I NTERCAP monies would be in the approxi-
mate amount of $80,000. which would be used to buyout the existing Citicorp financing on the
IBM System/38 computer. He noted that the current loan rate is f.J. 9 percent; and the new loan
would be at 5.625 percent for the first year, adjusted annually. The City Manager then
recommended that the Commission adopt Commission Resolution No. 2652, authorizing participation
in I NTERCAP.
Commissioner Martel asked what the original amount of the Joan was and how much has
been paid off. He then questioned how much the City would actually save on interest through
I NTERCAP, since the Agreement calls for a 1.5 percent administr~tive fee per year and a 1 percent
loan origination fee. I
Director of Finance Gamradt responded to the questions as follows. He noted the original
loan was for $137,355.46; to date roughly $57,355.46 has been repaid; and the payoff is approxi-
mately $80,000.00. The Director of Finance then stated that the loan through INTERCAP would
extend over the remaining life of the existing loan; and the City would, based on the 5.625
percent interest rate which has been guaranteed for the first year, save approximately
$8,000.00 during that period of time, less the $800.00 origination .fee. He noted that the 1.5
percent administrative fee referred to in the Agreement is a part 'of the quoted interest rate.

Commissioner Stiff expressed concern about the use of $200,000.00 in City reserves to
payoff the City's portion of the costs for installation of Highland Boulevard and asked if this
type of financing could be used instead.
Director of Finance Gamradt stated that the I NTERCAP funding may extend only over the
remaining life of the existing financing; however, in no case may it be more than five years.
He also indicated that he would need to review the guidelines for the program to determine if
I special improvement districts are excluded from the program and will bring a report back to the
Commission.
It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that the Commission
adopt Commission Resolution No. 2652, authorizing participation in I NTERCAP. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Stiff, Commis-
sioner Martel, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Jordan and Mayor Mathre; those voting No.
none.
Request for authorization to expend Library Trust Fund monies - submitted by the Library
Board of Trustees - $11,236 to be used for specified equipment and furniture
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a memo from Director of the Library
Steve Cottrell indicating that the Library Board of Trustees has approved a proposal for
expenditure of $11,236 from the Library Trust Fund for specified equipment and furniture items
and requesting that the City Commission approve such expenditures.
The City Manager stated that the Director of Finance and the Computer Programmer have
reviewed the list of equipment to be purchased. He noted that the models of computers listed
may not be the ones actually purchased, due to recent model changes. He then suggested that
the Commission approve the request to expend Library Trust Fund monies, recognizing the fact
that the specific models listed may not be the ones actually purchased.
It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission authorize expenditure of $11,236 in Library Trust Fund monies for specified
I equipment and furniture, as requested by the Library Board of Trustees.
Commissioner Martel expressed reservation about the requested use of Library Trust Fund
monies. He stated concern that the monies are to be used for purchase of equipment and
furniture instead of books, as it has been in the past. He further questioned the need for two
personal computers and stated he would be more comfortable in approving such an expenditure if
he knew the exact model to be purchased and its actual cost.
The City Manager reminded the Commission that the Library Board of Trustees has reviewed
this item prior to submitting its request. He then noted that if the amount to be expended
exceeds the amount authorized, the Board must seek Commission approval for the additional
monies.
Commissioner Jordan suggested that this matter be referred back to the Library Board of
Trustees for review and any possible revisions prior to Commission action.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that action on
this item be tabled until the Library Board of Trustees has made a final determination on the
type of equipment to be purchased and submitted its recommendation to the Commission. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Jordan,
Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Stiff and Mayor Mathre; those voting
No, none.
Request for authorization to write off uncollectible utility accounts as of December 31, 1986 -
$674.99
I City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a memo to Director of Finance Gamradt.
along with a list of uncollectible accounts totaling $674.99 to be written off. The City Manager
recommended approval for writing off of the uncollectible accounts. noting that efforts will still
be made to collect those monies whenever possible.
Commissioner Martel noted all but one of the final statements are dated in 1985 and asked
why they are just now being written off.
The City Manager noted that sufficient time must pass before the accounts are determined
uncollectible; and when the accounts were written off in 1986, some of the final bills had been
04-13-87
142
sent only two months before.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the City collects a deposit for utility services and asked
if that deposit should be increased.
The City Manager stated that the PSC ruling has set the amount of deposit that can be
collected for utility services.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the Commis-
sion authorize the writing off of uncollectible utility accounts as of December 31, 1986, totaling I
$674.99. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commis-
sioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Martel and Mayor Mathre;
those voting no. none.
Preparation of City Commission's budget unit for FY1987-88
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that they had begun discussion on this
item at last week's meeting and then voted to table action for a period of one week.
Mayor Mathre noted that the Commission is to decide whether to leave the budget as
proposed or to decrease it.
Commissioner Stiff stated he would like to review the items contained in the "contracted
services," "subscriptions and dues," "travel and schools," and "other" line items to determine if
any of those amounts can be decreased. He noted that all of the other line items seem to be
budgeted as closely as possible.
The City Manager and Clerk of the Commission rf1!sponded, noting that contracted services
includes an update of the Bozeman Municipal Code. at an estimated cost of $5,000, plus $500 to
cover any costs which the Commission may incur for a study or other service during the fiscal
year. The subscriptions and dues includes dues to the National League of Cities and the
Montana League of Cities and Towns as well as purchasing a copy of the City directory. The
Clerk of the Commission noted that the proposed budget is just under $100 higher than last
year's actual expenditures in anticipation of a dues increase for the NLC. The travel and
schools line item contains monies for all five Commissioners to attend the Montana League of I
Cities and Towns convention, plus one Commissioner to attend the National League of Cities
Congress of Cities. There may be a slight amount left after those expenditures, which would
cover miscellaneous Commissioner travel. The other line item has covered various costs in the
past and basically serves as a contingency for unanticipated Commission expense during the
upcoming fiscal year.
Commissioner Stiff noted that it appears the contracted services line item must remain at
the proposed level.
The Commissioner then questioned whether the City's membership in the N LC is actually
worth the nearly $1,000 spent for dues. He noted that he, Commissioner Vant Hull and Clerk of
the Commission Sullivan have all requested information during the past year and received no
response or a call requesting that the individual prepare the information requested and submit a
copy to the N LC.
City Manager Wysocki suggested that, rather than dropping membership at this time, a
letter be written to the NLC citing the specific incidents and expressing concern that requests
for information are not being addressed. He noted that the City does get information from thlt
organization on a regular basis; and he does not feel now is an appropriate time to delete a
source of information. I
Mayor Mathre reminded the Commissioners that the Nation's Cities Weekly is an NLC
publication. She also noted that various meetings are held througllJout the year; and one
Commissioner usually attends one meeting during the year. She st~ted that, although a
Commissioner may attend at a higher registration fee even if the City is not a member, it is I
sometimes difficult to know when and where those meetings are sinCf;e the City would receive no
notification of them.
Commissioner Jordan stated that the NLC does provide a way for the City to lobby in
Washington, D. C., where the City has little lobbying capability. The Commissioner stated he
does not believe the City should eliminate any sourCIl of informatiorll or lobbying power at this
time.
04-13-87

Commissioner Stiff then noted that no Commissioner has submitted a claim for all of his or
her expenses in attending any meetings. He suggested that the City pay only the registration
fees for a meeting or conference, with the attending Commissioner picking up all additional
expenses. The Commissioner then stated he feels the $2.000 contingency in the other line item
is too much and suggested it be cut to $100. He noted if the Commission decides a study or
other unanticipated expenditure is in the City's best interests, it should make a conscious
I decision to do so through a budget amendment.
Commissioner Jordan expressed concern that if the City pays only registration costs, the
lower income Commissioners will be unable to attend any meetings.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that she feels if the Commissioners decide to leave their
salaries at the current level, those monies will cover any expenses they may incur through their
positions.
The Commission concurred that the amount to be budgeted under travel and schools should
be decreased from $3,000.00 to $600.00 and the amou nt to be budgeted under other shou Id be
decreased from $2.000.00 to $100.00. They further concurred that the amounts to be budgeted
for all other line items should remain as proposed.
Mayor Mathre noted there are some meetings where the Commission has very little business
and suggested they may wish to consider holding only two meetings each month. She also noted
the Commission has asked that the fifth Monday meetings, which occur only four times each year.
be set aside for general discussion purposes; however, there have been enough business items
placed on those agendas that such discussions have not occurred. The Mayor then asked if the
business items could be moved a week one way or the other, with only those items requiring
attention at the fifth Monday meeting, such as claims, being placed on the agenda along with
discussion items. Mayor Mathre requested that discussion on the format for fifth Monday
meetings be placed on the agenda for additional discussion in the near future.
It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that the Commission
approve its budget unit for Fiscal year 1987-88 as revised. The motion carried by the following
I Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Martel and Commissioner
Vant Hull; those voting No being Commissioner Jordan and Mayor Mathre.
Break - 3:00 to 3:10 p.m.
Mayor Mathre declared a break from 3:00 p.m. to 3:10 p.m., in accordance with Commission
policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983.
Responses to Local Government Study Commission report
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a copy of the responses to the Local
Government Study Commission report of May 31, 1986, containing the revisions requested by the
Commission at its January 19, 1987 meeting.
Mayor Mathre reminded the Commission that it must submit its responses to the Local
Government Study Commission within one year from receipt. She then asked the Commissioners
if they have any questions about the responses as revised.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if review of self-government powers has been placed in the
tickler file for the last quarter of this calendar year; and the Clerk of the Commission indicated
it has.
Commissioner Vant HuH then noted that one recommendation concerns review of all
advisory boards. She suggested that the chairmen of the various boards and commissions be
asked to address the Commission during the May meetings, which will address this recom-
mendation while providing an opportunity for communication between the boards and the
I Commission. The Commission concurred.
Commissioner Stiff asked about the status of hiring a personnel director lassistant. City
Manager Wysocki stated that he has decided to wait until after the Legislature has completed it
session to determi ne avai lable revenues. He noted that it would be unfair to fill the position at
this time and then determine during the budgeting process that the position would need to be
eliminated again due to lack of funds.
It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission approve the responses as revised and submit those responses to the Local Government
04-13-87

Study Commission. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff and Mayor
Mathre; those voting No, none.
Continued discussion - feasibility of management audit for the City
City Manager Wysocki noted that a copy of the letter from Clerk of the Commission
Sullivan to the NLC as well as information from ICMA showing six different firms which conduct I
management audits and the name of a local firm providing such services have been included in
the Commissioners' packets.
Commissioner Stiff noted that he is the Commissioner who suggested the possibility of a
management audit, after attending an NLC conference in San Antonio and listening to Mr. Bill
Evans. He then indicated that he has reviewed the information he has available on management
audits and productivity engagements. The Commissioner stated that for a productivity engage-
ment to be successful, all the Commissioners as well as the City Manager must be committed to
the project. He noted that the six key individuals seem to be deeply divided on the subject,
which may create a self-fulfilling prophesy that the study would fail. Commissioner Stiff then
recommended that the Commission forget the idea at this time.
Commissioner Vant Hull submitted to the Commission a newspaper clipping indicating that
the City of Spokane has completed management studies of police and fire services and is pleased
with the results. She indicated that dropping the idea of a management audit at this time does
not mean that it may not be suggested again in the future.
Commissioner Martel indicated he will support dropping the idea at this time. with the
understanding it may be brought up again.
Mayor Mathre noted that Mr. Evans indicated that management audits are done for one of
two reasons: (1) because a speci fic area or function needs to be addressed; or (2) overall
review for efficiency, which will possibly result in improvement of productivity. The Mayor
further noted that Mr. Evans stated on his initial visit that he could probably submit
recommendations that would save the City $500,000. I
Mayor Mathre then reminded the Commission that the City has lost $330,000 in Federal
Revenue Sharing monies. She expressed skepticism that an additional $500,000 could be cut
through increased productivity whi Ie not hurting the service levels being provided. She further
noted that the police and fire areas are the ones usually targeted; and locally those departments
are just rebuilding from decreases incurred in 1979.
The Mayor encouraged the City Manager and the City Commission to seek possibilities for
increasing productivity.
Discussion - Code of Ethics for the City
City Manager Wysocki stated that City Attorney Becker had requested copies of codes of
ethics from various comlTlunities in the state; and a copy of those responses has been included in
the Commissioners' packets.
City Attorney Becker noted that none of the codes appear to take into consideration what
happens if somebody engages in a conflict of interest. He noted that one of the codes calls for
voluntary resignation and questioned how that policy would be enforced.
Mayor Mathre noted the Commission had previously reviewed the City of Billings' code of
ethics. She reminded them that the code established a Board of Ethics, which had never been
created. She then indicated support for the City of Helena's code.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated she likes the City of Helena's code also; however, she feels
some of the ideas from the City of Billings' Code should be incorporated into it. The Commis-
sioner then noted that under the conflict of interest section of the City of Helena's policy, it I
addresses soliciting of personal gifts; and she feels that should be expanded to read accepting
or soliciting. She then asked if the Commission should address membership on the board of
directors for a nonprofit organization so that all Commissioners fall under the same guidelines
rather than their own personal interpretations.
Commissioner Martel noted that the code of ethics from the City of Billings as well as the
one from the City of Helena simply amplify what is contained in the State Statute. He then
04-13-87
145
questioned the necessity of having the City Attorney work on a code of ethics, since the subject
is already addressed through state law.
Commissioner Jordan stated support for Commissioner Vant Hull's suggestion to address
membership on a board of directors of a non-profit organization. He indicated that a written
policy would establish the guideline rather than a Commissioner's individual viewpoint.
The Commission requested that the City Attorney prepare a draft code of ethics for
I consideration, based on the City of Helena's code and including various Items from the City of
Billings' code.
Appointment of sub-committee to review Pledged Securities as of March 31, 1987
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that the pledged securities must be re-
viewed quarterly in accordance with State Statute.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that Commis-
sioner Vant Hull and Commissioner Martel be appointed to review the pledged securities as of
March 31,1987. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Martel and Mayor
Mathre; those voting No, none.
Discussion - FYI Items
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission the following "For Your Information"
items:
(1) A copy of responses to the recommendations in the management letter submitted by
Coopers and Lybrand for Fiscal Year 1985-86, as prepared by Director of Finance Gamradt.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the same response, liThe recommendation will be im-
plemented as time permits, II has been used for twelve items in a row. She then asked if the
Commission should place this item on the agenda for discussion, with the staff providing an
update on the status of each recommendation.
I Director of Finance Gamradt stated that the City has contracted with a computer
programmer for specific projects. which should relieve the full-time programmer. He further
noted that implementation of some of the recommendations is currently underway.
Mayor Mathre suggested that the staff provide the Commission with an update on the
status of the various recommendations in early October.
(2) A copy of the proposed Commission Resolution establishing a revised Special
Improvement District policy. The City Manager reminded the Commission that the public hearing
on this item will be held at next week's meeting.
(3) The City Manager stated that HB743, which will shorten the redemption period on
properties with delinquent SID assessments, has come out of the Senate Taxation Committee with
an amendment to extend the period from twelve months to eighteen months. He noted the bill is
on the Senate floor for second reading; and if it passes, it must return to conference committee
and then back to the House floor for a vote on the amendment.
(4) The City Manager indicated that HB782, providing for a sales tax or a local option
income tax, was tabled at the Senate Taxation Committee and appears to be dead.
(5) The City Manager then stated that the resort tax bi II seems to have been lost. He
noted that Senator Story has indicated he will attempt to locate the bill.
(6) The City Manager stated that the new ladder fire truck has arrived in Bozeman;
however. the engine is not working properly. He noted that the City will not accept the truck
until it is satisfied that all parts are in proper working order.
(7) Commissioner Vant Hull noted that last week's joint City-County Planning Board/Zoning
I Commission meeting was lengthy and urged the Commissioners to help make the public hearing
before the Commission next week as efficient as possible.
(8) Commissioner Vant Hull distributed to the Commissioners a newspaper article from the
January 22, 1987 issue of the Billings Gazette. The Commissioner then noted that the article
indicates that the block grant which funds a portion of the motor vehicle income to local
governments could be cut in half; and Senator Ed Smith has introduced a bill to replace that
source of revenue. She then suggested that the Commissioners contact the legislators soliciting
support for the bill.

(9) Commissioner Vant Hull stated she has been recycling newspapers and aluminum cans
for the Humane Society and has found that computer paper is worth 3 cents per pound compared
to 1 cent for newspapers. She then asked all Commissioners to bring their unwanted computer
listings to her; and she will recycle them as well.
(10) Commissioner Vant Hull noted the Commissioners received brochures on a conference
on government privatization and contracting out government services. She then indicated she
feels someone should attend the meeting, with the City paying the registration fee. I
City Manager Wysocki stated he has directed a couple of the City staff to attend the
conference. He then suggested that any interested Commissioners contact him.
(11) Mayor Mathre suggested that the current year's goals as well as a copy of the
questionnaire be published in this week's newspaper, possibly in the Wednesday or the Friday
issue. She also requested that the letter sent to the various civic organizations be sent to the
chairmen of the various City boards and commissions as well.
The Mayor then noted that Dave Sharp will serve as facilitator one night; and Gene
Surber will serve the other night.
