cussion.
Report from Daria Joyner, Chamber of Commerce, re CNFR Roundup activities
Acting City Manager Barrick stated that Daria Joyner has requested an opportunity to
provide the Commission with a report on the College National Finals Rodeo "Roundup" activities
I which were conducted on Main Street following the parade.
I
Ms. Daria Joyner, Executive Di rector of the Chamber of Commerce, submitted a letter
dated July 1, 1985 to the Commission indicating items that the Convention and Visitors Bureau
Roundup Committee feel could improve the activity. Ms. Joyner then asked the Commission for
support for this event next year as well because she wants to seek support and advertising bene-
fit through the CN FR if it is to be a part of the community rodeo activities. She then indi-
cated the Chamber will submit a specific proposal for next year's event in January 1986 for
Commission consideration.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that opposition to the waiver of the open container or-
dinance was expressed at the last Commission meeting, when she was absent. She then asked
if there were any problems with the waiver. I
Daria Joyner stated they did not have any problems on the street as a result of the
waiver of the open container ordinance, besides the fact that people started carrying open
containers prior to 3: 30 p. m. on that date.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission acknowledge receipt of the July 1, 1985 letter from the Bozeman Area Chamber of
Commerce concerning the CNFR Roundup activities. The motion carried by the following Aye
and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commis-
sioner Anderson, Commissioner Jordan and Mayor Weaver; those voting No, none.
Anti ue Fair in Soroptimist Park - Au ust 2, 3 and 4, 1985 -
Acting City Manager Barrick presented to the Commission a request submitted by Terri
Sullivan, Brass and Wood, to conduct an Antique Fair in Soroptimist Park on August 2, 3 and
4, 1985.
Ms. Terri SuJl ivan stated she is a member of the Downtown Bozeman Association, as well
as owner of the Brass and Wood. She then indicated the DBA has discussed this item and adopted
a resolution stating support for the use of Soroptimist Park for commercial events because of its
proximity to the central business district and because such use would encourage greater usage
of the park by the public, a copy of which she submitted to the Commissioners. Ms. Sullivan
indicated the Antique Fair would be held in conjunction with the Sweet Pea activities, with the
booths being open from 8:00 a.m. to dark. She also stated that security will be provided for I
the park area, noting that twelve to twenty booths wi II be avai lable for various antique dealers.
She also indicated that the Fair would include various entertaining groups and would be set in
a fair-type atmosphere rather than strictly as a commercial venture.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the Sweet Pea Board of Directors has considered this
request.
Terri Sullivan stated she has submitted this request to the Commission first for action.
She then stated that a couple of years ago, Sweet Pea invited antique dealers to set up booths
07-01-85
251
in Lindley Park. She noted that most of the items for sale at Sweet Pea are completed by the
individual marketing the product, which is not true of antique dealers; and Sweet Pea deter-
mined that participants should be limited to those who have created their products. Ms.
Sullivan stated she feels there is a market for antique items, since the theme of the Sweet Pea
is old times. She also noted that having an Antique Fair in the Soroptimist Park would en-
courage people to come into the central business district. Ms. Sullivan then indicated that if
I this request is approved, she will submit the request to the Sweet Pea Board of Directors for
consideration and possible incorporation in their schedule of activities.
Commissioner Anderson expressed concern about the use of public parks for commercial
ventures. She also noted this type of activity usually indicates donations to a nonprofit or-
ganization, which has not been included in this proposal. Ms. Sullivan stated she does not feel
the Antique Fair would be any different from Farmersl Market or Sweet Pea, in which indivi-
duals sell items and keep all of the monies.
Mayor Weaver suggested that the Commission consider whether it wishes to allow the use
of Soroptimist Park for occasional commercial activities, as supported by the DBA.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated support for using Soroptimist Park for occasional com-
mercial activities. She indicated she would like to attract as many people as possible to the
downtown area, into the Soroptimist Park as well as the downtown business area. She then
suggested that one possible restriction would be that 10 percent of the proceeds be donated to
a nonprofit organization.
Mayor Weaver expressed concern about some of the commercial ventures which may wish
to use the park.
Commissioner Jordan stated he would like to maintain the policy currently in effect for
all parks. He also noted that having activities which will attract people will have an effect on
the grass and will change the character of the park.
Commissioner Mathre noted that Farmers' Market and Sweet Pea are similar; and both have
been approved by the Commission. She then expressed concern about this request because of
I the commercial nature of the proposal.
The Commission then concurred that the requested Antique Fair does not meet the Com-
mission's policy for use of the park because it is not a not-for-profit venture.
Commissioner Mathre noted the Commission has recently received more requests from
commercial-type ventures for use of the public parks and rights-of-way. She also noted the
Commission has slightly relaxed its policy by allowing four sidewalk sales per year. The Com-
missioner then suggested that this activity may more appropriately be conducted at the Gallatin
County Fairgrounds.
Commissioner Jordan stated he feels the Recreation and Parks Divisions should review
this item and submit a recommendation prior to Commission action.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that that
the Commission refer the current policy for use of public parks to the City staff and the
Recreation Advisory Board for review and a recommendation on whether the policy should be
changed to allow the Soroptimist Park to be used for commercial downtown activities, particu-
larly considering the legality of such a policy and the park's capabilities, with a report to be
submitted to the Commission within thirty days. The motion carried by the following Aye and
No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner
Jordan, Commissioner Mathre and Mayor Weaver; those voting No, none.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission ask Commissioner Vant Hull to draft a letter to the Sweet Pea Board of Directors
asking for their general policy statement on activities in conjunction with or complementary to
I the Sweet Pea activities. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting
Aye being Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner
Math re and Mayor Weaver; those voting No, none.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission table action on the request submitted by Terri Sullivan, Brass and Wood, for per-
mission to conduct an Antique Fair in Soroptimist Park on August 2, 3, and 4, 1985 until the
policy statement is received from the Sweet Pea Board of Directors and a recommendation on the
use of Soroptimist Park is received from the City staff and Recreation Advisory Board. The
07-01-85
252
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Weaver; those voting No being
Commissioner Jordan.
Mayor Weaver noted that the motion effectively denies the request, since there is not
sufficient time to return this item to the agenda before the proposed dates.
Discussion - proposed cemetery fees as recommended by the Cemetery Board and City staff I
Acting City Manager Barrick submitted to the Commission a draft Commission Resolution
containing the proposed cemetery fees recommended by the Cemetery Board and the City staff.
He noted this item is simply for discussion at this time, with an Ordinance revising the struc-
ture of the Cemetery Board to be adopted prior to adoption of the Resolution.
The Acting City Manager then briefly reviewed the proposed changes in the fees. He
noted the major change, which will result in a large increase in available revenues, will be
addressed in another Resolution, which will change the name from "Cemetery Perpetual Care" to
"Maintenance Fee," with most of the monies being placed in a maintenance account to be used
immediately and a small portion being placed in the Cemetery Perpetual Care, which is a trust
fund. He indicated the increased revenues from the two Resolutions should be about $24,000.00,
which will nearly double those revenues.
Commissioner Anderson asked if the proposed fees will provide adequate revenues to pay
the costs of maintaining the cemetery. The Acting City Manager indicated the fees will not
provide adequate revenues to maintain the cemetery.
Commissioner Vant Hull indicated interest in receiving a report from the City staff on
the costs of maintaining the cemetery and the anticipated revenues with the proposed changes.
Commissioner Vant Hull then asked about the opening and closing fees for the County
and MSU. The Acting City Manager stated the County and MSU do not pay for the lots; and
the County lots are used as paupers graves and the MSU lots are used for the WAMI program.
Mayor Weaver asked that this item be placed on the agenda in sixty days for further
consideration. I
Break - 4:55 to 5:05 p.m.
Mayor Weaver declared a break from 4:55 p.m. to 5:05 p.m., in accordance with Commission
policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983.
Discussion - first two sections of the Housing Committee Report, entitled IINeedsll and "Roles"
Acting City Manager Barrick noted the Commission has received the report submitted by
the Housing Committee and has requested that the first two sections of that report, entitled
"Needs" and "Roles," be placed on this agenda for discussion.
Commissioner Vant Hull, liaison member on the Housing Committee, noted she had submit-
ted a memo in the packet with questions she felt the Commissioners should consider while read-
ing the first two sections.
Commissioner Anderson, liaison member on the Housing Committee, stated the Housing
Committee would like feedback from the Commission about any concerns they may have with items
contained in the report. She also noted that after the Commission has reviewed and approved
the items in the report, it will be submitted to the Chronicle to be published in the newspaper.
The Commissioner also stated she feels that review of housing needs in Bozeman should be an
on-going process, possibly being completed once or twice a year.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted there have been changes in the housing situation in Boze-
man recently. She noted there are a large number of expensive apartments available; and enroll- I
ment at the University is decreasing, but there is still a shortage of safe, affordable housing
for low- and moderate-income persons. The Commissioner then stated the Housing Committee
concurs there is a shortage of safe, affordable housing which will continue; and they request
that the Commission concur in that determination.
Mayor Weaver noted that anything valued is in short supply. He stated one of the con-
cerns the Commission must confront is not whether there is a need for safe, affordable housing,
but whether the need compels the commitment of resources.

Commissioner Anderson noted that the CDBG rehab program is currently upgrading 44
units to make safe, affordable housing for low- and moderate-income persons.
Commissioner Mathre suggested that review of the CDBG program may be a way to assess
housing needs, if the program continues. She then asked if the City will be eligible to apply
for a grant this year.
Senior Planner Mike Money stated that 75 percent of the monies from a previous program
I must be spent prior to application for another grant. He indicated that 75 percent of the
monies will not spent by the September 1985 application submittal date; but will be by the
March 1986 submittal date. He noted the program will extend for one more year, but the future
of the program is questionable. The Senior Planner then stated the revenues from the loans
being made at this time will be turned over in the community in future years. He noted the
projection of revenues for next year is about $37,000.00; and if the loans are continued rather
than the monies being used for a non-revenue activity, the City may be able to build a pot of
monies to constantly address housing needs.
Senior Planner Money stated some people are not willing to use CDBG monies to upgrade
rental units because they can rent substandard housing for $300.00 per month, but would get
only $25.00 to $50.00 per month more by participating in the program. He noted many people
do not feel it is worth becoming involved in a federal program to increase their revenues such a
small amount. He then noted there are indications of softening of the rental market at the
upper levels; but the amount of substandard and deteriorating housing that is being rented
indicates a need for low- and moderate-income housing.
Mr. Chris Pazder, member of the Housing Committee, stated he wrote the needs assess-
ment portion of the report. He noted that his conclusion after preparing that report is the
same as in the past--that more safe, affordable housing is needed in Bozeman. He also noted
that he worked with various programs for low- and moderate-income people; and housing was
the primary issue: He noted one and one-half year waiting lists for subsidized housing are not
uncommon. Mr. Pazder then noted the Master Plan indicates that housing is to be provided for
I everyone; and possibly it is the role of government to determine how to address that item.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted the next section to be reviewed concerns possible changes
in zoning. She suggested the Commission may wish to consider conducting a public hearing on
that item, since there is public interest in the topic. The Commissioner then indicated that she
would b~ interested in receiving comments on the first two sections from the other Commissioners.
Commissioner Jordan indicated he has a number of concerns, which he will submit in
writing. He then asked if the Zoning Commission has indicated support for the concepts listed
in the zoning section of the report, or if the Planning Staff supports the proposals.
Senior Planner Money stated the Housing Committee prepared the draft report and sub-
mitted it to the Planning Staff for review. He indicated they met two or three times and sub-
mitted input, after which the report was redrafted. The Senior Planner stated that the Plan-
ning Staff has hesitated to support any particular item until they receive guidance from the
Zoning Commission or the City Commission.
The third section of the Housing Committee report, entitled "Zoning, II will be placed on
next week's agenda for discussion.
Selection of projects to be funded through the Energy Conservation CIP for FY86 - up to
$30,000.00
Acting City Manager Barrick presented to the Commission a list of proposed projects for
the Energy Conservation Capital Improvement Program. He noted the Commission must select
the projects which it wishes to be completed during Fiscal Year 1986, with the total not to
I exceed $30,000.00. He also indicated the list contains the estimated payback in years, as
requested by Commissioner Mathre. The Acting City Manager then noted the items listed under
Fire Station No. 2 include the cost of materials only because the firemen would complete the
work.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated the lighting in City buildings should be once again re-
viewed, because she feels there is excess lighting and energy savings could be realized.
Acting City Manager Barrick indicated he is waiting for a report from a firm which in-
07-01-85
25lt
stalls reflective devices in the light so that the number of bulbs can be decreased while main-
taining adequate lighting, but that report is not yet back.
Commissioner Mathre noted that during the initial energy conservation studies, emphasis
was placed on doing projects with the quickest paybacks. She then noted several projects with
short paybacks have a low cost and could be easily done.
Mayor Weaver indicated he would like staff input on the selection of the projects.
Acting City Manager Barrick suggested two possible alternatives. He indicated the Com- I
mission could select all projects costing $15,000.00 or less, which would total $26,250.00. The
second alternative would to be use a portion of the available funds for energy conservation
projects and maintain the remainder in a reserve. He then indicated that if the Resolution
which created the Energy Conservation C I P were revised, the budgeted amounts for energy costs
could be based on average costs rather than worst case scenario, with those reserves being
used to supplement the budget if necessary during a bad winter.
The Commission then selected the proposed projects costing less than $1,000.00, with the
staff to bring back a recommendation for use of the remainder of the funds in two weeks.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the follow-
ing items be included in the Energy Conservation Capital Improvement Program, with a staff
recommendation for the use of the remainder of the funds to be submitted in two weeks, and
that the staff be directed to pursue obtaining the lighting report if possible:
City Hall
Tune boiler--twice during heating season $ 500.00
Fire Station No. 1
Install storm windows on second floor 400.00
Fire Station No. 2
Insulation for exterior walls 600.00
Three fans for cathedral ceilings 225.00
Relamp incandescent lighting--16 fixtures 525.00
City Shop I
Install electronic switch to shut off heaters
when doors are open $ 400.00
Carnegie Building
Reset and recaulk storm windows 300.00
TOTAL $ 2,950.00
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Jordan, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Weaver;
those voting No, none.
Discussion - attendance of Commissioner Mathre at the Center for 1m rovement of Public
anagement
Acting City Manager Barrick presented to the Commission a memorandum from City Mana-
ger Wysocki recommending that the Commission approve the attendance of Commissioner Mathre
at the Center for Improvement of Public Management.
Commissioner Mathre indicated the registration fee is $1,500.00; and a scholarship can be
obtained for one-half or two-thirds of that cost. She indicated she would submit an application
for a scholarship for two-thirds of the cost, so the City would pay $500.00 plus transportation.
The Commissioner also stated the school, which is sponsored by the University of Colorado, will
be held from August 1-10, 1985.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the Commis- I
sion approve the attendance of Commissioner Mathre at the Center for Improvement of Public
Management on August 1-10,1985; and, it being in the public interest, that up to $1,000.00 to
appropriated to cover registration and transportation costs. The motion carried by the follow-
ing Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Anderson,
Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Weaver; those voting No, none. Commissioner Mathre abstained.

Mayor Pro Tempore Mathre opened the public hearing.
Senior Planner Mike Money stated a memo was included in the packet suggesting that the
public hearing be continued for one month at the developer's request to allow sufficient time to
address the minor items listed in the staff report and to determine how to address the major
items. The Senior Planner then noted the Zoning Commission will discuss the application
further at its next meeting.
Mr. Mike Kirwan, attorney for the developers, stated he appeared before the Zoning
Commission last week and requested a continuance for one month to address the items in the
staff report, as indicated by Senior Planner Money.

requested by Rodney Hobaugh for Joseph Mahurin to allow construction of a 40-foot by 60-foot
repair shop on Lot 6A of the I ndustrial Properties in the Northeast Annexation. This site is

for the application and recommended that they acknowledge receipt of that letter.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the
Commission acknowledge receipt of the letter submitted by Rodney Hobaugh, withdrawing the

- allow
I This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit
requested by Rodney Hobaugh for Joe and Rebecca Mahurin to allow construction of two ware-
house units on Lot 12 of the McChesney I ndustrial Park Addition. This site is more commonly
known as being located at 2011 Gilkerson Drive.
Mayor Pro Tempore Mathre opened the public hearing.
Assistant Planner Dave Skelton presented the Staff Report. He noted the subject site is
located in an M-2- T District, which requires a Conditional Use Permit. The Assistant Planner
07-01-85

then stated the proposed project will contain two structures housing twelve warehouse storage
un i ts .
Assistant Planner Skelton then stated three items must be considered under the "T"
designation in the subject area. First, any properties that abut another district shall provide
sufficient landscaping or buffering, an item which was not addressed in the original submittal.
He stated that the applicant has indicated he will plant a caragana hedge along the west
property line. Second, signing must meet specific guidelines; however, in this instance no I
signs are proposed for the project. Third, access to the central sewer system, since a portion
of this district is located outside City limits. He then noted that the applicant does not
propose to hook to the sanitary sewer system at this time, since no restrooms will be installed
due to the nature of the project.
The Assistant Planner then stated the Zoning Commission expressed three general con-
cerns: (1) the 26-foot aisle between buildings and the hammer-head turn-around at the end of
the project, (2) the storage for snow removal not indicated on the site plan, and (3) no indi-
cation of a trash enclosure, which is not required in this district.
Assistant Planner Skelton then stated the Zoning Commission reviewed the application and
recommended approval, subject to twelve conditions. They also recommended that the City
Commission defer action on this item until the applicant has submitted additional information to
the Planning Staff for adequate review of the proposal. Dave Skelton indicated that the appl j-
cant has submitted the additional information, which addresses the first seven conditions recom-
mended by the Zoning Commission.
Commissioner Jordan expressed concern about the 26-foot aisle between the buildings and
the hammer-head turn-around, noting that large trucks will be required to back into or out of
the project. He then asked if there are any covenants or design criteria for projects within
the McChesney Industrial Park.
The Assistant Planner indicated there are no covenants or design criteria.
Mr. Rodney Hobaugh, applicant, stated he does not feel there will be many large vehicles
trying to gain access to this project. He indicated that he has met the requirements placed on I
this project by the Zoning Commission.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the requested Conditional Use Permit.
Mayor Pro Tempore Mathre closed the public hearing. A decision will be forthcoming in
one week.
