entitled:
ORDINANCE NO. 1181
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, AMENDING SECTION 5.06.050 OF THE BOZEMAN MUNICIPAL CODE I
AND ADDING SECTIONS 5.06.042,5.06.44,5.06.055,5.56.143 AND 5.56.146 TO
THE BOZEMAN MUNICIPAL CODE, REVISING THE FEE STRUCTURE FOR
BUSINESS LICENSES ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE "MONTANA CARD GAMES
ACTII OR THE "BINGO AND RAFFLES ACT" AND ESTABLISHING THE FEE
STRUCTURE FOR LICENSES ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE IIVIDEO DRAW POKER
MACHINE CONTROL LAW OF 1985."
City Manager Wysocki noted that the Commission provisionally adopted Ordinance No.
1181 on May 28, 1985 and conducted a public hearing on the ordinance at last week's meeting.
He noted revisions were made in the license fees for card tables and the aggregate total of card
tables and machines allowed to operate simultaneously in a business location. He then
recommended that the Commission finally adopt the ordinance as revised.
Mayor Weaver noted that the title of Section 5.56.146 conflicts with the section and
suggested it be revised to conform with the text of the section, which establishes an aggregate
limit of seven card tables and machines to exist simultaneously in a business location. The City
Attorney concurred that was an error and noted the same error exists in the Preamble.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that, although she would prefer higher license fees, she
supports those which have been established in this ordinance. She then stated she feels the
fee schedules should be established next year before the gaming licenses become due. The
Commission concurred the fees should be reviewed; and Mayor Weaver requested this item be
placed on the agenda on or around May 1, 1986.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the
Commission finally adopt Ordinance No. 1181, with the corrections noted above. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, I
Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and Mayor Weaver; those voting No, none.
Request - permission to use Soro timist Park for Craz Sprin hill
ursery
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a request from Heisel Springhill
Nursery for permission to use Soroptimist Park for Crazy Day activi~ies. The City Manager
noted that in the past, Heisel Springhill Nursery has requested and received authorization to
use the parking space and sidewalk along the Main Street side of Soroptimist Park during Crazy
Days. He noted this year's request is for permission to use those areas as well as the sidewalk
back to the fountain in the park, which is what they did last year.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if Heisels has a current City business license. The City
Manager indicated a current City business license was issued on January 3, 1985.
Commissioner Vant Hull then questioned if this request is any different from other
requests which have been received recently for use of parks. She suggested that if this
request is approved, other organizations or businesses should also be allowed to operate in
Soroptimist Park during Crazy Days.
Commissioner Anderson stated she would prefer that Heisel's activities during Crazy
Days be limited to a flatbed trailer parked on Main Street and the sidewalk area only, as it was
originally.
Mayor Weaver expressed concern about using the park for a profit-making venture,
indicating he would have no problem with the use of the sidewalk and parking area in front of I
the park.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission approve the use of the parking area and sidewalk along ~ast Main Street in front of
the Soroptimist Park by Heisel Springhi II Nursery for Crazy Days activities, but deny any use
of the park for those activities. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those
voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull and
Mayor Weaver; those voti ng No, none.

Acknowledge receipt of request submitted by Friends of Figgins for development of Jarrett Park
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a request submitted by Friends of
Figgins for development of Jarrett Park. He recommended that the Commission acknowledge
receipt of the request and proposal for development of the park and refer it to staff for review
and a recommendation to be submitted back to the Commission. He indicated that this item is
on the agenda for the Recreation Advisory Council meeting to be held on June 18, 1985.
I Mayor Weaver asked that the staff provide cost estimates in its recommendation back to
the Commission. He then asked if Parkland Trust Fund monies would be used to develop the
park. The City Manager noted that is a possibility.
Commissioner Anderson suggested that the Friends of Figgins consider attempting to
obtain federal matching funds to help defray the costs of the development of Jarrett Park.
Mrs. Kathy Hansen-Bristow, 2525 Landoe Street, gave the Commission a brief history of
Jarrett Park. She stated the residents in Figgins Addition have been interested in developing
the park for quite a few years, especially with the number of children in that area. She
indicated that the Friends of Figgins distributed copies of the landscape design plan initially
developed by Dick Pohl's architecture class to all residents in Figgins Addition, after which a
meeting was held on May 22. The plan was revised at that meeting and redistributed, after
which a few minor revisions were added. Mrs. Hansen-Bristow stated the proposed play area
would be developed for small chi Idren, and the multi-use area would be developed for use by
older chi Idren.
Kathy Hansen-Bristow then stated the Friends of Figgins would like to see the weeds
killed and grass planted, which would require providing water to the area. She noted
maintenance of the park could then be through volunteers or small donations from the residents
of Figgins Addition to pay for a child in the area to mow.
Commissioner Anderson suggested that the Friends of Figgins contact various service
organizations to see if they are willing to donate to development of the park.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the City has a master plan for development and up-
I grading of the various park areas within the city. City Manager Wysocki stated that Dick
Pohl's architecture classes have prepared design sketches for improvement of various parkland
areas on two different occasions, but he is not certain there is an overall master plan.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the
Commission acknowledge receipt of the request submitted by Friends of Figgins for development

Discussion - re ort from Terr Novak, Cit re trans ortation I
0 nterstate 90
City Manager Wysocki stated the Commission had requested this item be placed on the
agenda for discussion at last week1s meeting but was deferred to this week.
Commissioner Anderson stated support for placing this item on the program for the
League of Cities and Towns Convention to be held in September. She then noted that the
report from Terry Novak asks for endorsement of a research project to be conducted at Eastern

Washington College. The Commissioner stated she feels this is a place to begin compiling
information and preparing an inventory of hazardous materials being transported along the
interstate system, as well as along railroad lines. She noted the most hazardous material,
which is commonly transported, is gasoline.
Commissioner Mathre stated the report seems to be requesting a contact person in the
community.
I Mayor Weaver expressed concern that there is a lot of ambiguity in the report and the
proposed form letter at the back, including possible endorsement of a research project for
which someone will have to pay.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that the City should have someone who can serve as a
contact person; but a paragraph should also be included which indicates that no financial
commitment will be made.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission authorize and direct the City Manager to write a letter to Terry Novak, City Manager
of Spokane, Washington, indicating that the City is interested in obtaining more information
about the proposed project, and requesting that the City be kept informed about what action is
being taken; indicating that the City is not, at this time, prepared to make a financial commit-
ment to the project; and suggesting the idea of having a workshop at the September annual
convention of the Montana League of Cities and Towns for those participants interested in the
proposed project. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye
being Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Weaver;
those voti ng No, none.
to the Technical Advisor
ontinuing ransportation
City Manager Wysocki stated the Commission had requested this item be placed on the
I agenda for discussion at last week's meeting but was deferred to this week.
Mayor Weaver noted that the Commission recently reviewed the section of the Memo-
randum of Agreement for Continuing Transportation Planning in the Bozeman Urban Area dated
May 25, 1977, to determine the method of appointing a replacement for Richard McConnen, who
resigned from the Technical Advisory Committee. He noted during that review that the section
providing for a Citizen Advisory Committee was noted, and the Commission asked the City staff
to review the matter and determine if that committee has functioned in the past.
Commissioner Anderson stated she feels that activating the Citizen Advisory Committee
could be very helpful, especially considering the problems which arose between citizens and the
Technical Advisory Committee during improvement of Kagy Boulevard from Highland Boulevard
to South Third Avenue.
Mayor Weaver asked how the formation of a new committee would affect the role and
responsibility of the Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee, which is also established under this
Agreement. Commissioner Anderson indicated she feels it would have no effect on the
Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated she would like to see the Pedestrian/Traffic Safety
Committee provide more direct input to the Technical Advisory Committee.
Mayor Weaver noted that if more citizen input is wanted, it might be better to expand
the membership of the P/TSC rather than create a new committee. He also suggested that the
role and responsibility of that committee could also be redefined if needed. Commissioner
Anderson indicated she would prefer to see another Citizen Advisory Committee created.
I Mr. James Goehrung, resident of Bozeman, noted he feels City staff does not have
sufficient time to address some of the traffic concerns expressed by residents. He also noted
there are times that he feels additional citizen input would be beneficial, whether through an
expanded Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee or a Citizen Advisory Committee.
Mayor Weaver stated he feels that members of the Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee
should have an opportunity to provide input before the Commission makes a decision on this
issue.
The Mayor then suggested that the Commission direct the staff to research this item
further, checking the history of the various committees involved, the composition of those

committees and why they occurred. Commissioner Anderson asked that the staggering of terms
on the Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee, the membership of that committee and a copy of the
By-Laws be included in the staff research also. The Mayor then asked that when this item is
brought back for discussion, the Chair of the P/TSC be invited to attend, and possibly a
representative of T AC as well.
Commissioner Anderson indicated she will check with other cities to determine how they
handle input on transportation systems. She also indicated she will contact those who might be I
interested in attending the meeting when this item is discussed.
Mayor Weaver requested that this item be placed on the July 8 agenda for further
discussion.
Commission review of goals and policies established during the summer of 1984
City Manager Wysocki stated a list of goals and policies, along with action statements
dated May 21, 1984, was included in this week1s packet. He suggested that the Commission
determine if any additional items should be included or if any of the items included in this list
should be moved up in priority.
