Presentation re planning of a 9-1-1 emergency telephone system for the entire county - Clark
Robi nson
City Manager Wysocki stated that Mr. Clark Robinson, who has been working on planning
of the 9-1-1 emergency telephone system for Gallatin County, is present to provide an update on
this project.
Mr. Clark Robinson stated that 9-1-1 is an easy to remember and easy to dial telephone
number which Mountain Bell set aside several years ago as an emergency number. He noted that
the call reaches a lIpublic safety answering pointll (PSAP) when dialed; and the dispatcher must
then dispatch the needed emergency services or relay or transfer the call to the appropriate I
agency.
Mr. Robinson stated that at the present time, the City of Bozeman Police Department, the
Gallatin County Sheriffls Office and the Town of West Yellowstone Police Department have the
9-1-1 system. He noted that during this presentation, and possibly during the initial planning
process, the Town of West Yellowstone wi II not be included.
Clark Robinson indicated there are eight central offices for Mountain Bell within Gallatin
County. He noted that under the existing telephone system, the jurisdictional boundaries of the
various governmental entities and the boundary lines for the telephone system are not the same.
He indicated that to split the calls for the City of Bozeman and Gallatin County would require
the installation of specialized equipment at the Mountain Bell central office in Bozeman, at an
initial cost of $200,000 to $300,000, which is not feasible.
Mr. Robinson then stated that the equipment in most of the seven smaller central offices
in the county would require upgrading to allow the 9-1-1 system. He noted that under 1985 leg-
islative action, a tax of 25 cents is charged against each telephone line per month; and those
monies are to be utilized in the implementation and administration of a 9-1-1 system. He noted
in Gallatin County that would be approximately $87,000 per year, to be distributed on a per capi-
ta basis. He further indicated that the State has budgeted $200,000 per year for equipment con-
version costs; and they have received plans which include $230,000 in conversion costs to date.
He stated that the estimated cost of upgrading the equipment in the four central offices in the
county is $23,000 each.
Mr. Robinson indicated that under the State Legislature's action, any political subdivision I
may apply for a 9-1-1 system. He noted a preliminary plan must be submitted, which the State
has three months to review; a final plan must then be submitted, which the State has six months
to review and approve or deny; then the system is implemented, including any equipment conver-
sion which may be necessary. He stated that the item before the Commission today is a request
for authorization to enter into an agreement for planning of a 9-1-1 system for the entire
county.
Mayor Mathre asked for an estimate of costs for operating the system.
Mr. Robinson stated he does not have an estimated cost for operations. He noted that
10-26-87
44S
since the City is already paying for additional lines for the 9-1-1 system, the revenues gener-
ated through the 25-cent tax per line per month should cover the increased costs.
It was moved by Commissioner Stiff, seconded by Commissioner Martel, that the Commis-
sion authorize the City Manager to sign an agreement for planning of a 9-1-1 emergency tele-
phone system for the entire county. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote:
those voting Aye being Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Vant Hull, Com-
I missioner Jordan and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none.
the Bozeman Swim Center Renovation
ange In contract tIme
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a copy of Change Order No. 2 for the
Bozeman Swim Center Renovation project. He noted that this Change Order adds $5,600 to the
contract amount, with no change in the contract period.
Mr. Dick Prugh, architect for the project, stated that this change order includes two
separate items. He noted the contractor has found that the conduit through which the electrical
wire was run is rusted out; and he cannot pull the wire out. He further noted that only two
wires were run through, with the conduit being used as the ground for the electrical system.
Mr. Prugh stated that new plastic conduit must be surface-mounted; and grounded wire is to be
run through the conduit for the electrical system.
Dick Prugh stated that the second item included in the change order is additional in-
sulation, necessary to plug extra holes found above the suspended ceiling. He noted this is
necessary to create an adequate vapor barrier. Mr. Prugh then indicated that the contractor
has opened all of the areas to be completed in this renovation project, so there should be no
more hidden items. He noted that any future change orders would be for small overages cur-
rently not anticipated.
It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Com-
mission approve Change Order No. 2 for the Bozeman Swim Center Renovation project, adding
I $5,600.00 to the contract price, and ratify the City Managerls signature on the document. 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.
Municipal Code to increase the
City Manager Wysocki presented Ordinance No. 1248, as prepared by the City Attorney,
entitled:
ORDINANCE NO. 1248
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, AMENDING SECTION
18.66.010 OF THE BOZEMAN MUNICIPAL CODE INCREASING THE NUMBER OF
MEMBERS ON THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT FROM FIVE TO SIX MEMBERS.
The City Manager reminded the Commissioners that the Chairman of the Board of Adjust-
ment had submitted a letter recommending that the Commission take the necessary action to ex-
pand the Board of Adjustment from five members to six members. He noted that this ordinance
must be adopted to implement that increase in membership.
Commissioner Martel noted that the ordinance requires that three members live within the
city limits. He then suggested this should possibly be increased to four, since a vast majority
of the cases considered by that board deal with properties lying within the city limits.
Commissioner Jordan stated he does not support the increase in the number of members.
I He noted that if absences become a problem for holding meetings, the Commission may need to
reconsider who is serving on the board at that time. He stated he does not support increasing
the number of members to ensure that four will be present at each meeting.
Mayor Mathre noted one concern which has been expressed is that four positive votes are
needed to approve a variance.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that she has attended Board of Adjustment meetings in the
past; and she has sometimes felt that a good application has been denied because only four mem-
bers were present at the meeting and one voted against the application. She noted that if more
members are present, an applicant would have a better chance of getting four affirmative votes.

Mayor Mathre reminded the Commissioners that some people feel the Board of Adjustment
is too lenient already.
City Manager Wysocki stated that Chairman Jim Banks indicated that the Board suggested
that the membership be increased to six, noting that a substantial majority is still needed for
approval of a variance if all six members are present. He then recommended that the Commission
provisionally adopt the ordinance at this time. He noted that any revisions can be made prior to
final adoption in two weeks. I
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the Com-
mission provisionally adopt Ordinance No. 1248, increasing the number of members on the Board
of Adjustment from five members to six members, and that it be brought back in two weeks for
final adoption. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Martel and Mayor Mathre; those voting
No being Commissioner Jordan.
Commission Resolution No. 2682
vIew
Ity
City Manager Wysocki presented Commission Resolution No. 2682, as prepared by the City
Attorney, entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2682
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION DESIGNATING THE COMMUNITY DE-
VELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT LOAN REVIEW COMMITTEE AS REVIEWING BODY FOR
SUBORDINATION REQUESTS AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OR THE CITY MANA-
GER TO EXECUTE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENTS.
The City Manager noted that this Resolution was prepared by the City Attorney at the
Commission's direction. He then recommended that it be adopted at this time.
Commissioner Martel asked if actions by the Loan Review Committee wi II be placed on the
consent agenda for ratification by the City Commission.
City Attorney Becker stated he did not anticipate that the Committee's decision would be I
ratified by the City Commission. He noted that after the Committee.s action, the Mayor or the
City Manager must execute the subordination agreement.
Commissioner Martel expressed concern about the Loan Review Committee being given the
power to make the final decision. He noted that such action could result in the Commission in-
curring problems for actions about which it knows nothing.
City Manager Wysocki indicated he will provide a ufor your informationu item to the Com-
missioners when a subordination agreement is signed.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the Commis-
sion adopt Commission Resolution No. 2682, designating the Loan Review Committee as the review-
ing body for subordination requests and authorizing the Mayor or City Manager to execute subor-
d i nation ag reements. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye
being Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Vant Hull and
Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none.
Continued discussion - revisions to the business license ordinance
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that included in their packets was a sum-
mary of the questionnaires they had returned. He noted that Commissioner Stiff was absent last
week; therefore, the summary reflects only four responses. He stated that this summary is de-
signed to serve as a basis for discussion only.
Administrative Services Di rector Miral Gamradt reminded the Commissioners that the staff
had prepared the questionnaires to determine how the Commission feels on various issues. He I
noted the staff made seven recommendations for changes and asked eight policy questions; and
those were the basis of the questionnaire. He then reviewed the summary of questionnaires, as
follows:
Recommendation #1. Maintain the same basic business license fee structure. A majority of the
Commissioners concurred.
Recommendation #2. Establish three categories of fees for transportation firms. A majority of
the Commissioners concurred.
Recommendation #3. Establish an additional flat fee for businesses which utilize vehicles in their
business operations. A majority of the Commissioners concurred.
10-26-87
447
Recommendation #4. The section of the ordinance which deals with transient vendors should be
reduced to one general category. A majority of the Commissioners concurred.
Recommendation #5. The sections of the ordinance pertaining to pool and billiard tables and
transfer fees should be eliminated. A majority of the Commissioners concurred.
Recommendation #6. Modify the going-out-of-business license section to reduce the possibilities
of abuse. A majority of the Commissioners concurred.
I Recommendation #7. Change the wording in the section which grants exceptions to sole
propri.etors or independent agents. A majority of the Commissioners concurred. The Adminis-
trative Services Director stated that under this section, the wording would be changed from "...
conducting a business from a residence ... II to "... conducting a business in a residence ..."
Recommendation' #8. Establish two categories and license fees for contractors. A majority of the
Commissioners concurred.
Question #1. Should the City increase the minimum and maximum license fees for retail
businesses? A majority of the Commissioners support an increase in the minimum license fee from
$40 to $50 and an increase in the maximum license fee from $150 to $400 for retail businesses.
Question #2. Should the City charge home occupations a business license fee? A majority of the
Commissioners concurred that home occupations should be charged a business license.
Question #3. Should the City charge apartment owners a business license fee? The Com-
missioners are undecided on this question.
Question #4. Should the City require businesses which are located on the MSU campus to obtain
a city business license? A majority of the Commissioners concur that profit-making business on
the MSU campus should pay a business license fee.
Question #5. Should the City charge movie theaters for each viewing area? A majority of the
Commissioners concur that the flat rate for movie theatres should be revised, based on the total
number of seats located within the structure, regardless of the number of screens.
Question #6. Should the City establish a separate fee for coin-operated machines that depict
sexual activity? A majority of the Commissioners agree that a fee for coin-operated machines
depicting sexual activity should be established; however, the suggested license fee varies.
Question #7. Should the City increase the fees for electronic amusement games? A majority of
I the Commissioners concur that the license fee for electronic amusement games should be
increased.
The Commissioners then discussed various points, as follows:
Commissioner Martel noted that at last week1s meeting, Administrative Services Director
Miral Gamradt had indicated that the purpose of the suggested and proposed revisions was to
equalize the license fees, not as a revenue-generating tool. He then asked what license fees are
to be decreased to ensure that the revenues generated do not increase as a result of the
changes.
The Administrative Services Director stated that the major purpose of the revisions is to
equalize the license fees; however, with the licensing of additional businesses, the revenues
generated may increase slightly. He then reminded the Commissioners that the business license
fee is based on the use of specific City services, which are police, fire and streets.
Commissioner Stiff noted that during the past several years, the City has incurred higher
on-going costs of operation. He then indicated that hopefully the modifications under consid-
eration will cover those additional costs.
City Manager Wysocki stated that during its review, the staff assumed that the base li-
cense fee was alright and limited the review to specific areas of concern where problems seemed
to rise. He noted that the staff did not enter the review with an intent to increase the reve-
nues; however, the licensing of additional businesses that should have obtained licenses in the
past will result in a slight increase in revenues.
Administrative Services Director Gamradt noted that the Commission has concurred with
I the staff recommendation that three different categories be established for transportation firms
and that the fee structure be changed. He then asked if the Commissioners wish to establish a
$600 fee cap on the license fees for this category; and the Commissioners concurred.
Commissioner Stiff asked if rental car agencies at the airport can be licensed by the City,
since a majority of the cars rented do travel into the city.
The Administrative Services Director stated that if the cars are operated within the city,
a business license can be required.
Commissioner Stiff asked if the base rate for the business license fee for retail businesses
is to be raised sufficiently to cover the first vehicle being operated for the business or if it
10-26-87

should be increased more. He also asked if charging a fee for each additional vehicle would cre-
ate an administrative nightmare. The Commissioner then suggested that when applications for
business license renewals are distributed, the base license fee, plus an additional fee to cover
possibly five vehicles, could be listed with the business being required to show why a downward
adjustment is appropriate.
Following a brief discussion, the Commissioners concurred that an additional fee should be
required for vehicles used in a business. I
The Commissioners then reviewed the proposed revisions for transient vendors. Following
discussion, they concurred that the license fee should be established for "5 days or less - $125"
and "90 days or more - $350." They noted this may allow transient vendors on a very limited
basis, whi Ie protecting those who operate businesses in the community on a year round basis.
Commissioner Jordan noted that businesses like Schwannls are transient; however, they
operate in the community on a year round basis and their home base is known. He asked if
those can be split from the actual transient vendor.
The City Manager stated that the "90 days or more" section would accommodate that oper-
ation.
Commissioner Martel asked how this revision would affect the Farmer's Market. The City
Attorney indicated that the ordinance currently contains an exemption for that type of activity.
Commissioner Stiff expressed concern that if a transient vendor is required to obtain a
bond before operating within the city limits, the five-day period for the initial license may be
too short. He then asked what would happen if a vendor were to arrive late on Friday after-
noon and wish to operate through the weekend.
The City Manager indicated that if the vendor does not have the appropriate bonding and
business license, he would not be allowed to operate during the weekend.
Commissioner Martel questioned the need to change the wording from "... conduct a bus-
iness from a residence ..." to "... conduct a business in a residence ... " The City Attorney
indicated that the proposed language clarifies the location of the business. He cited plumbers,
who travel to another location to do their business, versus a financial consultant, who uses one I
room in his home as an office, as an example.
The Commissioners concurred that licenses for contractors should be split, based on the
number of employees within the firm. Following discussion, they further concurred that the
split should refer to "full time equivalents" rather than "employees" due to the seasonal nature
of the business.
Commissioner Stiff suggested that possibly an additional $10 should be added to the pro-
posed minimum license fee to cover the first vehicle operated in the retai I business. The City
Manager expressed concern that the staff has already suggested a $10 increase; and the addi-
tional $10 would result in a 50 percent increase.
Commissioner Jordan suggested that language for the base license fee be revised to indi-
cate that it includes the first vehicle under 6,000 pounds used in the business; and the Commis-
sion concurred.
Commissioner Jordan then asked if the maximum fee includes all vehicles. The City Mana-
ger indicated that the maximum fee includes only the first vehicle; and the Commissioners con-
curred that should be noted.
B rea k - 4: 02 to 4: 1 5 p. m .
Mayor Mathre declared a break from 4:02 p.m. to 4:15 p.m., in accordance with Commis-
sion policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983.
Continued discussion (continued) - revisions to the business license ordinance I
City Attorney Bruce Becker reviewed the definition for home occupations in the current
ordinance. Following discussion, the Commissioners concurred that all home occupations should
be licensed, recognizing that sole proprietors are exempt under the current ordinance.
The Commissioners then discussed whether a business license fee should be established
for apartments. Points of discussion included the fact that trailer courts are currently licensed;
concerns about the vacancy rates which are beginning to occur; the fluctuation in the market
due to the university students; and questions about property taxes on mobi Ie homes versus
apartments.
10-26-87
449
Following the discussion, the Commissioners were split on whether to drop this item from
the business license ordinance; and the decision is to be made after public input on the issue
has been received.
The Commissioners concurred that the staff should review the various businesses located
on the MSU campus to determine if there are any for-profit businesses. They noted if there
are, they should be required to obtain a business license since they are in direct competition
I with businesses located in other areas of the community.
Following a brief discussion, the Commissioners concurred that a license fee for coin-
operated machines depicting sexual activity should be established. They then asked the staff to
review the police records to determine the license fee which can be justified, based on city
services provided.
The Commissioners concurred that the license fee for electronic amusement games should
be increased from $15 per game to $20 per game.
City Manager Wysocki noted that under the current ordinance, the business with the elec-
tronic amusement game is required to license that machine; and the City has received inconsis-
tent payments as a result. He indicated that Mr. Randy Leep, D and R Music, has indicated he
owns most of the machines within the city limits and may be willing to be responsible for the
payment of those I icense fees.
Mr. Larry Witt, President of the Bozeman Landlords' Association, stated opposition to the
proposed I icense fee for apartments. He noted that apartment owners already pay property
taxes and garbage collection fees for those facilities; and they cannot afford the addition of a
license fee. Mr. Witt then noted that when a business leases a site, it must obtain a business
license; and he does not feel it is fair to charge the property owner a license fee for an apart-
ment which is leased to someone else.
Mr. Witt then reminded the Commissioners that property taxes have been raised recently
to cover the costs of the fire truck which was recently purchased.
Mr. Randy Leep, D and R Music, stated he has no opposition to the proposed increase in
I the minimum license fee for retail businesses. He did, however, express opposition to the pro-
posed increase in the license fee for electronic amusement games. He noted that his business
currently operates 150 to 200 games. He also stated that the electronic amusement games at the
MSU game room are currently not licensed; and if they are charged, he will be responsible for
those license fees under his contract with the State.
Mr. Leep stated that police reports resulting from electronic amusement games are very
low; therefore, they have I ittle impact on city services. He then indicated that he would be
willing to pay the license fees for the electronic amusement games, possibly averaging the num-
ber of machines in operation in the city limits during a calendar year, which would provide a
more consistent payment for the actual number of machines in operation. He noted it would also
eliminate much of the paperwork for the City.
Commissioner Stiff left the meeting at 5:12 p.m.
Commissioner Jordan asked if the electronic amusement games at the MSU game room cost
the same as those downtown.
Randy Leep indicated the cost is the same. He then stated that the game room is now
strictly for MSU students, with no one else allowed to enter.
Mr. Leep then indicated that the use of video amusement games has decreased dramati-
cally, presently being about 20 percent of what it was five to six years ago.
City Manager Wysocki indicated that the staff may bring back some questions for clari-
fication at next weekls meeting. He noted that staff will then draft an ordinance including the
proposed revisions for consideration in two weeks.

Staff update re drilling of well in Bogert Park
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commissioners a memo from Director of Public Ser-
vice Dick Holmes concerning the status of the well drilling project at Bogert Park. He reminded
the Commission that $20,000 has been appropriated through the Capital Improvement Program for
drilling of the subject well. He noted that the well has been dri lied; and test pumping wi II be
completed later this week.
I The City Manager then indicated that the well at Bogert Park is anticipated to cost a total
of $15,300, leaving an unobligated balance of $4.700. He noted that the well dri lIer and con-
sultant have agreed to complete a test well up to 300 feet in depth at the cemetery for a total
cost of $1,400. He then recommended that the Commission authorize the drilling of this addi-
tional test well under the current Capital Improvement Project appropriation.
