The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. None of the Commissioners requested that any of the Consent Items be removed from the agenda for discussion. Mi nutes It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the minutes of the regular meeting of August 4, 1986, be approved as amended. 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. Decision - Commission Resolution No. 2613 - intent to create SID No. 652 - water, sewer, paving in a portion of Graf's Second Subdivision This was the time and place set for the decision on Commission Resolution No. 652, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2613 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, DECLARING IT TO BE THE INTENTION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN TO CREATE SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 652 FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACCOMPLISHING THE ENGINEERING DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, IN- STALLATION, INSPECTION AND ENGINEERING CERTIFICATION OF STREETS, I CURB AND GUTTER, SIDEWALKS, STORM DRAINAGE, SANITARY SEWER MAINS, WATER MAINS AND ALL OTHER NECESSARY APPURTENANCES TO SERVE PARTICULAR PROPERTIES WITHIN GRAF'S SECOND SUBDIVISION. Acting City Manager Barrick submitted to the Commission a memo from City Manager Wysocki listing four options that could be considered in making the decision, including (1) denial; (2) use of current policy for standard special improvement districts; (3) use of a special improve- ment district not backed by the City; and (4) create a special improvement district for two of the three improvements, requiring the property owners to cover the costs of the other one. Commissioner Vant Hull suggested a fifth option would be to defer action until after the SID pol icy has been reviewed. Commissioner Stiff stated he does not feel the third option should be considered. He then read a letter from Gene Hufford, Senior Vice President of the D .A. Davidson office in Great Falls, as follows: "You have asked about the marketability of SI D bonds issued without the backing of the City's Revolving Fund. In my opinion, bond dealers will not bid on SID bonds offered by the City unless the City offers the additional security of its Revolving Fund. II He noted that he feels to approve the third option would be to effectively deny the use of the SID mechanism while giving the property owners, who are prominent businessmen in the community, hope that the process will be successful. Commissioner Vant Hull noted that last week Mr. Graf indicated that he had sold lots to distribute ownership and lower the risk to the City, with the result being that private financ- ing is not possible because of the diverse ownership. She then noted that a non-City backed I SID could provide the needed mechanism to provide long-term financing for the project. She indicated that the July 28, 1985 newspaper contains an extensive listing of delinquent taxes; and that list contains a variety of individuals, including prominent businessmen, friends and neighbors. Commissioner Martel noted that Initiative 27 has effectively deferred all SID bond sales; and at the present time, the Commission would simply be going through the motions of creating the requested SID. He then indicated that he feels a non-City bad,ed SID is the most palatable alternative, noting that the City has no balance in the Revolving Fund with which to back any 08-11-86 358 new special improvement district. He then suggested that the property owners form a limited partnership and secure private funding for the project. Commissioner Jordan noted that everyone has expressed concern about the delinquent assessments in one major development. He reminded the Commission that a review of the over 200 SI D's created during the past years shows that only two of those created problems. The Commissioner noted that every two years, the composition of the Commission changes through the election process; and with those changes as well as changes in attitude toward development I and the economy, the policies for approval of new SIDls change. He then stated he feel s that to stop the creation of SID's will also stop many people from purchasing homes. Commissioner Jordan noted the subject SID Is located in a fairly exclusive subdivision; and the property owners could probably obtain financing from a bank; however, others on lower incomes would not be able to do so. He then stated that the State Statutes provide the SID mechanism for financing of improvements; and the City has utilized that process in the past, with a high success ratio. The Commissioner then expressed support for creating the special improvement district under the existing policies. Mayor Mathre reminded the Commission that Mr. Graf had requested that the Commission proceed with creation of the SID to the point of the bond sale, recognizing that the bond sale would be best conducted after the November election. The Mayor then noted that the State Statutes refer to an SID being in the public interest; but it does not define that term, thus leaving it open for interpretation. She reminded the Commission that the Valley Unit Sub- division SID's were approved at a time when growth was healthy; and the downturn in the economy was not anticipated. She then noted that the recent Annie Subdivision SID's were approved because it provided mobile home lots, which were determined in the public interest. The Mayor then indicated the Commissioners must decide for themselves whether public interests are involved and whether there is a need for the improved lots. Commissioner Stiff noted it is easy now to view Valley Unit as a bad mistake; however, the Commission made its decision on the information available at that time, including a personal guarantee from individuals with a net worth of more than $20 million. The Commissioner then I indicated he would support denial of the creation of the SID rather than giving the property owners false hope for City assistance in funding of the improvements. Commissioner Jordan asked if the property owners will be able to build on the lots if the City does not approve the requested SI D. Planning Director Lere stated that the zoning regulations require that all improvements be installed before the lot is developed. He then noted this is the only subdivision within the city limits in which the improvements have not yet been installed, even though a majority of the lots have been sold. Commissioner Jordan reminded the Commissioners that 5 percent of the SID costs on all new SI D's are contributed to the SID Revolving Fund. He also noted that the City has success- fully sold SID bonds over the past few years with little or no balance in that fund. It was moved by Commissioner Stiff that the Commission deny the request for creation of Special Improvement District No. 652 until the Commission has had time to examine the process. The motion died for the lack of a second. It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Commis- sion approve the creation of Special Improvement District No. 652, with the provision that the bonds for the SID not be backed by the City's SID Revolving Fund, and authorize and direct the staff to proceed with preparing the Resolution of creation. The motion carried by the follow- ing Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Mathre; those voting No being Commissioner Jordan and Commissioner Stiff. authorizin placement of arkland exchan e in Graf's Fourth I Acting City Manager Barrick presented Commission Resolution No. 2619, as prepared by the City Attorney, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2619 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, AUTHORIZING THE TRADE OF A PORTION OF THE PARK KNOWN AS EAST GRAF PARK FOR PARK LAND KNOWN AS A PORTION OF THE 08-11-86 359 SOURDOUGH TRAIL AND PLACING THE TRADE ON THE BALLOT FOR APPROVAL BY THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN. Acting City Manager Barrick reminded the Commission that this item was discussed at last week's meeting; and this Resolution is now before the Commission for consideration, per instructions. Commissioner Stiff noted that neither City Attorney Crumbaker-Smith nor Mr. Gene Graf I is present at the meeting. He then stated the Resolution does not address allowing credit for the difference between the two parcels being considered in the parkland trade; and he feels those individuals should have the opportunity to address that issue prior to a Commission decision. Mrs. Lynell Martel, 2516 Spring Creek Drive, submitted to the Commission three pictures taken along the Sourdough Trail. She expressed concern that a tall chain link fence has been built along the trail; several boats have been parked along the railroad right-of-way which is to become a portion of the trail, and other messy areas exist as well; and a portion of the trail is along the pavement of Fairway Drive. Mrs. Martel stated she enjoys the Sourdough Trail; but she does not feel these pictures portray a desirable appearance. She noted that the beauty of the existing trail lies in the fact that one is able to walk through undeveloped land; and she does not want to see it become an alley between subdivisions. Mrs. Martel then noted that the boundaries of Graf Park are not defined, which they should be; but she does not support having the area fenced. She indicated that parks with limited access are seldom used, citing the park between Spring Creek Drive and Ci rcle Drive as an example. Planning Director Steve Lere stated that the City-County Planning Board has instructed the staff to prepare a request, to be submitted to the Commission for action, to provide a moritorium on development along the Milwaukee Railroad right-of-way, as well as other portions of the trail, including fences, until the Planning Staff has had an opportunity to develop an overlay zoning district for that area which will protect the neighborhoods as well as the I individuals using the trail. Commissioner Jordan indicated he supports the Resolution as it is written, providing no credit for the difference in the areas under consideration. Commissioner Vant Hull stated concurrence with Commissioner Jordan's comment, indicating that she feels the proposed land trade would have a better chance of being approved by the voters if no credit is given. She then indicated that she does not feel the 4.8156-acre right- of-way for the Sourdough Trail is worth the $247,000.00 quoted in the applicant's letter. The Commissioner stated the main question to be answered by the voters is whether they would rather retain the Sourdough Trail or the 14-acre park. Commissioner Jordan asked if the Commission can adopt this Resolution and instruct the staff to negotiate with the applicant or if the details must be completed prior to action. Planning Director Steve Lere stated that the legal descriptions for the subject parcels are included in the Resolution; and they must be accurate. He then noted that Mr. Graf has indicated that he wants credit for the two-acre difference in land areas. Commissioner Martel noted that many people anticipate a 15-foot strip for the trail; however, the site visitation on Thursday revealed that the only 15-foot easement extends south from Graf Street for approximately 150 feet; and the remainder is generally much wider. Mr. Paul Kinshella, Sanderson/Stewart/Gaston Engineering, Inc., noted that the Resolution contains legal descriptions for two tracts of land to be included in the trade from Mr. Graf to the City. He noted the second description, which has not yet been addressed during this meeting, involves a 15-foot-wide strip lying between the existing Graf Park and the south side of Graf I Street. Mr. John Miller, purchaser of the property lying just south and east of Graf Park, stated he currently owns the 15-foot-strip between the park and the street. He noted that maintaining private ownership of that strip would create very limited access to the park while being of no real value. He then stated the last indication he had from Gene Graf is that he wants credit for the additional land involved in the trade. Following discussion, it became the consensus of the Commission to approve Commission Resolution No. 2619 as written. The Commissioners further concurred that action be deferred 08-11-86 360 for a period of one week to allow Mr. Graf an opportunity to review the Resolution and submit his reactions at next week's meeting. It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the Com- mission table action on Commission Resolution No. 2619 for a period of one week to allow the applicant an opportunity to review the document. 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. I Break - 3:30 to 3:45 p.m. Mayor Mathre declared a break from 3:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m., in accordance with Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983. placement of arkland exchan e in Thom son's Acting City Manager Barrick presented Commission Resolution No. 2620, as prepared by the City Attorney, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2620 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, AUTHORIZING THE TRADE OF A PORTION OF THE PARK KNOWN AS LANGOHR PARK FOR A TRACT OF LAND WHICH SHALL BECOME A PORTION OF LANGOHR PARK AND PLACING THE TRADE ON THE BALLOT FOR APPROVAL BY THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN. The Acting City Manager reminded the Commission that this Resolution was prepared by the staff at the Commission's direction. Mr. John Parker, resident of Woodbrook PUD, noted the subject portion of Langohr Park is located immediately across the street from where he lives. He then stated the proposed land exchange would seriously deteriorate the aesthetic value of his property. Mr. Parker also indicated concern about potential development of that area as commercial; and requested that the Commission not place this item on the ballot. I Mr. Lowell Springer stated he lives in a portion of that area which was excluded from the Woodbrook PUD; and he is the original developer, architect and designer of the over-all project. He reminded the Commission that the Woodbrook PUD originally contained an area for professional offices and a commercial area; however, those areas were later changed to resi- dential because of neighborhood concern as well as the greater need for residential area. Mr. Springer noted that the stream running through the project and the adjacent park are factors which have entered into the Wood brook PUD being a successful project. He stated he does not feel the proposed parkland exchange is in the best interests of the community and requested that the Commission not place the matter on the ballot. Mr. Bob MacDonald, resident of Wood brook , stated opposition to the proposed land trade. Mrs. Doris Ward, resident of Woodbrook, stated they reside across from the parcel in question. She stated she does not feel the proposed land exchange would benefit the general public. She also noted that their living area faces directly toward the subject portion of Langohr Park; and any development of that site would destroy their view, as well as an aspen grove being lost. She encouraged the Commission to not approve the request to place this item on the ballot. Mrs. Ward then presented to the Commission a letter from Ken LeClair, contractor for Woodbrook as well as a resident, stating opposition to the proposed land exchange. Mrs. Nancy Lapeyre, 1704 South Willson Avenue, stated opposition to the proposed land trade, noting she has lived at this address for 23 years. She noted the neighborhood has been very protective of Langohr Park, which has been used by children in an unorganized manner. I Mr. Jack Myers, 1710 South Wi IIson Avenue, indicated his property backs up to the area under consideration in this land trade. He stated support for the comments which have been made; and he feels that the proposed land trade would create a fragmentation of the park which would not meet the park's intended use. Mr. Roy Rinker, resident of Woodbrook, stated opposition to the proposed land trade. Mr. Ernie Ahrendes, resident of Wood brook , stated support for the previous statements of opposition. 08-11-86 361 Mr. Allan Roush, resident of Wood brook , indicated opposition to the proposed land trade, questioning the value of having the park extend to South Willson Avenue through the subject tract. Mrs. Edith Harrington, resident of Woodbrook, stated opposition to the land trade. Commissioner Jordan noted that reference has been made to aspen trees in that area. He stated that some of the aspens are located on the portion of Langohr Park under considera- I tion; and many of them in the background are located on the tract of land that would become parkland if the exchange were approved. Commissioner Stiff noted that the City Manager had indicated at last week's meeting that the Director of Public Service has stated concern about the proposed land trade and the maintenance that would be involved. Commissioner Vant Hull expressed concern about the fact that she feels this request, as well as the previous request, should have been reviewed by the Recreation Advisory Board and the City-County Planning Board before being submitted to the Commission for consideration. Commissioner Martel noted that the City should receive equal or greater value in a land trade; and in this instance, the developer would be receiving an equal amount of land which has much greater value for development. Mayor Mathre reminded the Commission that this land trade was submitted to the Commission at the request of some of the landowners in that area. The Mayor noted this proposed land trade does not seem to be of any perceived benefit to the community as a whole. It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the Commission not adopt Commission Resolution No. 2620, which would place a parkland exchange in Thompson's Fourth Addition on the ballot. 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. Resolution No. 2621 - authorizin placement of mill lev for economic development on I Acting City Manager Barrick presented Commission Resolution No. 2621, as prepared by the City Attorney, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2621 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, INDICATING THE CITY'S INTENT TO LEVY ONE MILL FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES FOR EACH OF THE NEXT FIVE YEARS UPON APPROVAL OF A MAJORITY OF THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF THE MUNICIPALITY AT THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION. The Acting City Manager reminded the Commission that they had directed the staff to prepare a Resolution to authorize placement of a one-mill levy each year for five successive years for economic development on the ballot. Commissioner Stiff noted that a substantial portion of the most recent Western Business publication was devoted to growth. He stated one article refers to two grants which the City of Butte has received for economic development and revital ization. He also noted that two "FYI" items he placed in the packet address economic growth in Montana. The Commissioner stated he feels that economic development Is important in the Bozeman area, particularly in view of the competition from other communities in the state. He indicated that he will support placing this issue on the ballot; however, he still feels that a one-mill levy for the entire county would be more beneficial than the one-mill levy for Bozeman only, due to the difference in the value of a mi II. Commissioner Jordan expressed support for placing the issue on the ballot; but he does I not support the proposed budget which was submitted to the Commission last week. He indicated that he feels 80 to 85 percent of the monies generated from this levy should be placed in an escrow account to be possibly used to attract a specific project rather than for payment of salaries or general promotion, if that type of use could be accommodated under the State Statutes. It was moved by Commissioner Martel, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Com- e mission adopt Commission Resolution No. 2621, authorizing the placement of a mill levy for economic development on the ballot. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those 08-11-86 362 . voting Aye being Commissioner Martel, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Stiff and Mayor Mathre; those voting No, none. Discussion - request for City to be sponsoring agency for grant from the Montana Arts Council Tor fne Loft Community Theatre Acting City Manager Barrick presented to the Commission a letter from the Loft Community Theatre requesting that the City be the sponsoring agency for a grant from the Montana Arts I Counci I. The Acting City Manager indicated that the grant proposal would be in the amount of $12,000 each for Fiscal Years 1987-88 and 1988-89, with the monies to be used for operational support. He noted a governmental entity must sponsor the grant request; and the City would serve as a pass-through for the grant monies to assure proper use. He then reminded the Com- mission that the Beall Park Arts Center has received a similar grant, set up in the same manner. He then recommended that the Commission approve the request, noting that the deadline for applications is August 29, 1986. Mayor Mathre read to the Commission a letter submitted by Mr. George Mattson. She noted that a portion of the grant monies would be utilized to pay a part-time manager for the Loft Community Theatre to keep it a viable community activity. It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the Com- mission authorize the City of Bozeman to be the sponsoring agency for a grant application to the Montana Arts Council for the Loft Community Theatre. 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 - problem with knapweed in various parts of the community Acting City Manager Barrick stated that Commissioner Vant Hull had requested this item be placed on the agenda. He then submitted booklets from the Cooperative Extension Service to the Commission concerning knapweed. Commissioner Vant Hull indicated that she had requested information and an application I for assistance from the Green Thumb unit in Great Falls; but she has not yet received that infor- mation. Mr. Noah Poritz, technician with the U.S.D.A. lab at Montana State University, stated he works in research on biological controls for exotic weeds. Mr. Poritz stated that biological controls have been implemented in western Montana because knapweed is a much greater problem there. He noted four different insects have been introduced in that area; and two could now be relocated here to help control the weed, but it would take many years for that method to become effective. He indicated that he is concerned about the problem in this area, particularly because of the weed's rapid growth and spreading capabilities. Mr. Poritz noted that one of the primary reasons that knapweed has become a problem is because its natural enemies were not transported from Europe with the plant. He indicated that its leaves fall to the ground, sterilizing the area so that no other plants can grow there. He emphasized that any method of stressing the plant, including pulling and the use of weed killers, should be encouraged. He noted the plant is often found in areas where the ground has been disturbed or in areas receiving heavy public use. Commissioner Jordan asked if the insects used to control the knapweed would have any negative impacts on the other plants in the area. Mr. Poritz indicated they would not, indi- cating that they are intensively screened before being distributed into the natural area. Commissioner Jordan then asked Mr. Poritz if his office cooperates with the Gallatin County Weed Office. Mr. Poritz indicated that he does work with Mr. Reeves Petroff on various weeds, but that has not included knapweed to date. I Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the area around the new water tank has a substantial amount of knap.w.eed, as well as the Milwaukee Railroad right-Of-way. Mr. Poritz stated that he is interested in a weed awareness program for the community. He noted a volunteer program could be effective, but that program should be coordinated through the County Weed Office. Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the City does have an ordinance which addresses weeds which provide a hazard to sight distances and traffic. She then asked if a more restrictive 08-11-86 383 ordinance addressing noxious weeds would be beneficial. Mr. Poritz stated that the State Statutes address the issue. He also noted that an ordinance could be helpful in making people aware of the problem; but it would be extremely difficult to enforce. Mr. Poritz then indicated that a portion of the monies from the sale of pest control products in Montana is used to fund grants for weed control. He suggested that a grant could possibly be received through a cooperative effort with the County Weed Office; and those I monies could be used for public education. Commissioner Vant Hull asked about the different varieties of knapweed. Mr. Poritz indicated the three varieties are spotted, Russian and diffuse; and the spotted knapweed is the major problem in this area. Mr. Bernard VanHoorn, 429 North Black Avenue, noted that a lot of people don't know what Russian knapweed looks like, showing the Commission a bag full of the weed which he pulled while walking along two blocks from his house. He stated that he feels a publ ic education program would be beneficial in controlling the weed. Mayor Mathre asked that this item be placed back on the agenda when Commissioner Vant Hull receives the information she has requested. Commission Resolution No. 2622 - 1986 sidewalk construction program Acting City Manager Barrick presented Commission Resolution No. 2622, as prepared by the City Attorney, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2622 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, RELATING TO THE 1986 SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM; AUTHORIZING AND PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL WARRANTS, IN THE AMOUNT OF $144,000.00, FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINANCING THE ENGINEERING DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, INSTALLATION, INSPECTION AND ENGINEERING CERTIFICATION OF SIDEWALKS ALONG PARTICULAR STREETS IN THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA. The Acting City Manager reminded the Commission that they had instructed the staff to I proceed with the 1986 sidewalk construction program. He then recommended that the Commission adopt Commission Resolution No. 2622, which establishes the program and authorizes the staff to proceed with the sale of special warrants to cover the costs of the project. It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the Commission adopt Commission Resolution No. 2622, establishing the 1986 sidewalk construction program and authorizing the sale of special warrants to cover the costs of the project. 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. Discussion - FYI items Acting City Manager Barrick presented to the Commission the following "For Your I nforma- tion" items. (1) Copies of letters from Commissioner Stiff to Coopers and Lybrand and Cresap, McCormick and Paget concerning information submitted to him concerning the management audit concept. (2) A two-part article on economic development, as submitted by Commissioner Stiff.

(4) Agenda and packet for the August meeting of the City-County Planning Board. (5) Mayor Mathre stated that the I nteragency Breakfast for August has been cancelled because very few persons could attend. I (6) Commissioner Vant Hull noted she had placed copies of the agenda for the Friday meeting of the Legislative Committee for the League on the desk. She then suggested that some of the Commissioners may wish to attend that meeting with the Director of Finance; and she en- couraged the Commissioners to call him with any ideas or suggestions if they are unable to attend the meeting. (7) Commissioner Vant Hull submitted to the Commission two copies of articles from the Billings Gazette, one pertaining to a slide show on downtown projects and one on the volunteer band holding free band concerts. The Commission asked that the Clerk of the Commission contact 08-11-86 361t the City of Billings to see if the slide show would be available for the Commission to review.
