I Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Jordan, City Manager
Wysocki, Assistant City Manager Barrick, City Attorney Crumbaker-Smith and Clerk of the
Commission Sullivan.
The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence.
The minutes of the regular meeting of Apri I 15, 1985, were approved as amended.
Mayor Weaver asked if any of the Commissioners wished to remove any of the Consent
Items for discussion. Commissioner Jordan requested that the request for waiver of the open
container ordinance submitted by the MSU Chapter of the AI ChE for June 1, 1985, be removed
for discussion.
Award bid - six copier systems for specific City government locations
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a memorandum from Director of Finance
McKinney dated April 19, 1985, recommending that the Commission reject the bids submitted and
authorize the staff to proceed with the rebidding process. The City Manager stated problems
have arisen with the language in the specifications and the basis for the recommendation sub-
mitted by the staff; and he feels it is in the City's best interests to begin the process over.
He then concurred in the Director of Finance's recommendation.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that all of
the five bids for the six copier systems for specific City government locations be rejected, and
that the staff be authorized and directed to proceed with the rebidding process. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commis-
I sioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Jordan and Mayor Weaver; those voting
No, none.
Remarks by Superintendent Chambers re Willson Auditorium
City Manager Wysocki stated that Mayor Weaver had requested this item be placed on the
agenda.
Mayor Weaver reminded the Commissioners that they are scheduled to attend the School
Board of Trustees meeting, which is being held at the Willson School Board Room this evening,
for the purpose of discussing possible renovation of the Willson School Auditorium. He stated
Dr. Chambers is present at this Commission meeting in preparation for the School Board meeting
to be held later this evening.
Dr. Keith Chambers, Superintendent of Schools, submitted to the Commission a written
report on the project of renovating the Wi IIson Auditorium. He noted the Wi IIson School is the
middle school and houses the fifth and sixth grades. He stated those students use the auditorium
as a part of the school program; and the junior high school and high school students use the
auditorium for musical programs and other productions.
Dr. Chambers stated the aging building does not comply with current codes on safety
and fire; and he briefly reviewed some of the items which no longer comply. Dr. Chambers then
noted that of the 60 major events held in the Willson Auditorium in 1984, 34 were nonschool-
related events; and 26 were school events. The Superintendent of Schools then stated prelimi-
nary estimates for renovation of the auditorium total approximately $500,000.00 and includes
I $200,000.00 to upgrade the facility to meet safety and fire codes, $200,000.00 to resolve the
interior seating and lobby problems and $100,000.00 to renovate the stage area to make this a
quality community facility.
Dr. Chambers stated the School District does not have any solutions to the problems at
this time. He noted the upgrading could be completed through a school district bond issue, or
this could become a joint community/school district project. He then reviewed the foreseeable
steps in this project, which include: (1) hire consultants to do engineering and acoustical
studies; (2) determine more precisely the costs from the completed studies; (3) identify means
04-22-85
132
of funding the project; (4) involve the appropriate persons to proceed with the project; and
(5) get the funding and proceed with the necessary renovation.
Dr. Chambers stated he feels the renovation involves more than the School District; and
he asked the Commissioners to participate in the discussion on this item at the School Board
meeting.
Commissioner Anderson gave a brief history of community use of the Willson Auditorium.
She noted that the auditorium seats over 1100 persons, whi Ie the Ellen Theatre seats approxi- I
mately 850 persons, and the MSU performing arts facility seats about 350 persons. She stated
that without the Willson Auditorium, community concerts and other cultural events would not be
able to perform in Bozeman. She indicated that approximately ten years ago, a drive was
organized for a performing arts building, but it ran into competition with other drives, such as
the new library; and the drive was abandoned. The Commissioner stated that renovation of the
Ellen Theatre was also considered, but the costs were prohibitive; and the seating capacity was
not adequate for some of the larger events. She noted those involved in performing arts at this
time realize that a new facility is much too expensive to construct; and renovation of the Willson
Auditorium is the only feasible manner in which to provide an adequate facility.
Commissioner Anderson then suggested that other groups who use the Willson Auditorium
may be interested in this renovation project. She also suggested that a group entitled "Friends
of the Willson Auditorium" might generate additional interest and support for this project.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the area served by the Willson Auditorium is larger
than either the City of Bozeman or School District No.7. She suggested that Dr. Chambers
contact the County Commission in an effort to generate support from that governmental entity
as well.
Mayor Weaver asked about the anticipated costs of the engineering and acoustical studies.
Dr. Chambers stated the studies are anticipated to cost about $18,000.00. He noted at
this time that is the only portion of the project being considered.
Mayor Weaver stated the Commission indicates interest in the renovation of the Willson
Auditorium, even if that interest is not in a tangible form. He also indicated the Commission is I
willing to help the School Board explore the possibility of renovating the facility.
Authorize loan from the Cemetery Per etual Care Fund to the General Fund to cover the costs
0 the copier systems
City Manager Wysocki noted the Commission had received a memorandum from Di rector of
Finance McKinney, dated April 15, 1985 at last week1s meeting recommending that the Commission
authorize this loan. He reminded the Commission that action on this item was tabled at that
time until action on the award of bids was completed. The Citly Manager then recommended that
action on this item be deferred until the rebidding process ha$ been completed and the bids
have been awarded.
The Mayor noted that since this item has been tabled until a specific action is completed,
no Commission action is necessary at this time.
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a memorandum from Director of Finance
McKinney dated April 22, 1985, indicating that the City received two proposals for the nego-
tiated bond sale for SID No. 647. The City Manager reminded the Commission that the bid
opening for the bond sale on this SID was held on April 1, 1985; and the bid from Grande and
Company, Seattle, Washington, in the net effective rate of 11.1612 percent, was rejected. The
proposals received during this negotiated bond sale include one from D. A. Davidson Company, I
Great Falls, Montana, in the net effective rate of 9.429 percent and one from Dain Bosworth,
Inc., Denver, Colorado, in the net effective rate of 9.2985 percent. He noted the proposals
requi re that on or before January 1, 1987, the City and the hospital must payoff $790,000.00,
wh ich represent thei r portions of the 5 ID costs.
The City Manager also submitted to the Commission a letter from the Bozeman Deaconess
Hospital indicating a commitment to paying its portion of the Special Improvement District costs
on December 31,1986. He noted the letter also addresses a 3 percent fee for the Revolving
04-22-85
133
Fund and requests a waiver of the 3 percent administrative fee; but he feels those items should
be addressed at a later date.
City Manager Wysocki then reminded the Commission that the lower interest rates have
been submitted because the majority of this bond issue is to be paid off within two years,
rather than the entire amount being based on the twenty-year life of a normal Special
Improvement District. He then concurred in the Director of Finance's recommendation that the
I bond sale be awarded to Dain Bosworth, I nc., at the negotiated interest rate of 9.2985 percent.
Commissioner Jordan asked for a breakdown of the costs involved in this SI D, based on
the $900,000.00 bond issue. Mayor Weaver concurred that the breakdown of costs would be useful.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the proposal
for the negotiated bond sale for Special Improvement District No. 647 be awarded to Dain
Bosworth, I nc., Denver, Colorado, in the net effective rate of 9.2985 percent, with the stipu-
lation that $790,000.00 be paid on or before January 1, 1987. The motion carried by the follow-
ing Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Jordan, Commis-
sioner Mathre and Mayor Weaver; those voting No being Commissioner Vant Hull.
City Manager Wysocki then stated the Director of Finance also included in his memo a
request that the Commission authorize a ten-year loan from the Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund
to the General Fund at an effective interest rate of 1/2 percent over the interest being earned
by the CPC, adjusted annually, to cover the City's portion of the costs. The City Manager
recommended that the Commission authorize the loan.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the Commission
authorize a ten-year loan from the Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund to the General Fund at an effec-
tive interest rate of 112 percent over the interest being earned by the CPC, adjusted annually,
to cover the City's costs for its portion of Special Improvement District No. 647. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Jordan, Commis-
sioner Mathre, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Weaver; those voting No being Commissioner
Vant Hull.
I Award construction bid - SID No. 647 - realignment of Highland Boulevard and installation of
sanitary sewer main along northern portion of the right-of-way
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that these bids were opened on March 25,
1985; and at its regular meeting held on April 1, 1985, the Commission tabled awarding of the
construction bid until the negotiated bond sale had been completed. The City Manager noted
that in the above item, the bonds were awarded; and award of the construction bid can now be
considered.
City Manager Wysocki then submitted to the Commission a tabulation of the bids opened
to remind them of the bids received, along with a letter from Woody Germany, Sorenson and
Company, recommending that the bid be awarded to Long Construction Company, Billings, Montana,
in the base bid amount for Highland Boulevard of $648,472.50 and for Alternate No.1 for the
right turn bay on North Eleventh Avenue at Main Street in the amount of $11,150.00, for a total
of $659,622.50. The City Manager concurred in that recommendation.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the con-
struction bid for Special Improvement District No. 647 be awarded to Long Construction Company,
Billings, Montana, in the bid amount of $648,472.50, and for the right-turn bay on North Eleventh
Avenue at Main Street in the bid amount of $11,150.00, it being the best bid received. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre,

Request - Commission review of the Community Development Block Grant program management
plan - Mike Money
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a program management plan as pre-
pared by Housing Development Associates.
Senior Planner Money stated that the Commission must adopt a program management plan
before any requests for drawdowns can be processed by the Department of Commerce. The Senior
Planner then reviewed the proposed plan, noting it contains three sections: (1) administrative
structure, (2) financial management and (3) project management. He noted the plan provides a
I clear understanding of the responsibilities of each position involved in administration of the
grant.
Senior Planner Mike Money stated that he has been appointed the Project Coodinator and
has been assigned the primary responsibility for the implementation of the program and will be
the contact person with the Department of Commerce. He stated he is in the process of hiring
a Community Project Specialist, who will work full-time under his supervision on the grant
program.
The Senior Planner then stated that Director of Finance McKinney will be responsible for
the drawdown of monies and internal control of all CDBG funds. All of the financial files for
this program will be maintained in his office. The Director of Finance will also serve as the
contact person between the City and the Department of Commerce on all financial matters asso-
ciated with the grant.
Senior Planner Money stated the rehabilitation projects, particularly for owner-occupied
units, have generated a large amount of interest; and he feels those monies will be expended in
a short period of time. He stated a Loan Committee will review all loan applications and make
recommendations to the Project Coordinator. The loans will be low-interest and possibly de-
ferred payment loans for owner-occupied units; and loans at near market rates for rental units.
The Senior Planner indicated he will seek local financial institutions to handle the paperwork for
these loans and the responsibility for collection of payments.
The Senior Planner also noted that two public facilities projects are included in the loan
program--revitalization of specific water lines in the target area and construction of a ramp at
I the Beall Park building to provide access for the handicapped. He stated an engineering firm
has been retained to prepare design standards and specifications for the water line revitaliza-
tion; and he will prepare needed documentation for the handicapped ramp.
Senior Planner Money stated this is the last action required prior to requesting draw-
downs and requested that the Commission adopt the management plan so that a drawdown can be
requested to cover the expenses incurred by the City to date.
Commissioner Jordan asked about the recapturing and recycling of loaned monies.
04-22-85
138
Senior Planner Mike Money stated the recaptured monies will be used for other appro-
priate projects under the CDBC program. He noted those projects could include other housing
rehabilitation programs and public facilities revitalization programs. He noted if the monies are
used for rehabilitation, the monies can once again be recaptured to continue the program.
Commissioner Jordan then asked if there is a time limit on spending the monies once a
drawdown is received. Senior Planner Money stated the City has three days to spend the money
once it is received. He then indicated the City will submit requests for drawdowns after the I
monies have been spent; so that time limit will create no problems.
City Manager Wysocki stated the City will try to get all possible monies obligated as soon
as possible so the City can apply for another grant. The Senior Planner noted that 75 percent
of the current grant monies must be expended before another grant application can be submitted.
Commissioner Anderson asked Mike Money if the administrative fees will pay a portion of
his salary. She also asked if Housing Development Associates will be paid a portion of the
administrative fees. Senior Planner Money stated that a portion of his salary will be paid from
the 15 percent administrative fee for the project; and the full-time individual wi II be paid totally
from that fee. He then indicated that Housing Development Associates will receive a majority of
the administrative fee derived from the grant.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the City budgeted for a fourth planner; and one of
the highest priority items was updating the zoning regulations to conform with the newly adopted
Master Plan. She expressed concern that the high priority work items wi II be delayed because
of the time requirements involved in administering programs such as this.
Senior Planner Money stated his activities will not center around the Community Develop-
ment Block Grant program or the Historic Preservation program, which he also oversees. He
noted long-range planning is his primary work item, and programs such as these are only temporary.
He also noted the full-time positions under those programs are also temporary positions.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked how the financial institution will be selected. Di rector of
Finance McKinney stated he will initially use the financial institution which has the City's re-
purchase agreement. If he finds that the City would benefit from using another institution, he I
wi II move the monies and transfer them as necessary to cover disbursements.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the insulation requirements included in the management
plan list R-38 in the ceiling and R-19 in the walls. She then asked if energy conservation
measures, including super-insulation, would be encouraged through this grant. Senior Planner
Money stated that the purpose of the rehabilitation program is to bring the housing up to codes
and to provide safe and sanitary housing. He noted that those items above the code are dis-
cretionary; and the final decision is made by the Project Coordinator. He then noted that items
which are well above the standard or codes would probably be frowned upon.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the Commis-
sion approve the Community Development Block Grant program management plan, as presented
by Senior Planner Mike Money. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those
voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner
Vant Hull and Mayor Weaver; those voting No, none.
Appointments to Recreation Advisory Board
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a letter from Superintendent of Schools
Chambers listing the School Board's recommendations for appointments to the Recreation Advisory
Board. He noted one of the recommendations is a current applicant, but the other recommendation
has not submitted an application. He indicated he feels that is a technicality which could be
waived if the Commission so desires.
Mayor Weaver asked when the deadline for applications was. The Clerk of the Commission I
indicated the deadline was March 29, 1985.
City Manager Wysocki then stated the County Commission has not submitted any recommenda-
tions for appoi ntments.
Commissioner Mathre asked if the second School Board recommendation should be asked
to complete an application form. Following a brief discussion, the Commission concurred that
the nomination by the School Board constitutes a valid application. However, they requested
that the Clerk of the Commission send an application form to that individual and request that he

complete it so that the information is on file, as well as any recommendations from the County
who have not completed application forms.
The Commission then requested that this item be placed on next week's agenda for
appointment.

Preparation of worksheet for the City Commission budget for anticipated ex enditures for FY
19 -8

by Clerk of the Commission Sullivan. He noted that staff review during these early budgeting
procedures revealed that costs for the Board of Adjustment are currently being charged under
I the City Commission budget. These revised figures reflect the removal of those costs and plac-
ing them under the Building Inspection Division.

providing security for community events are included in this line item.
City Manager Wysocki then stated he had requested that the cost of a four-drawer fire-
proof file cabinet also be included in the Commission budget this year. He noted the files in

year; and a new file wi II provide sufficient file space for several more years.

10:00 p.m.,
City Manager Wysocki stated that Commissioner Jordan had requested this item be removed

I It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the Commis-
sion approve the request for waiver of the open container ordinance requested by the Montana

see if the City would qualify for an incinerator.
