Discussion - request for restoration of alley in Block B of the Oriqinal Townsite to its oriqinal
site (behind First Bank J - W. J. -Sullivan, Allied Manufacturing Corporation
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a letter from Mr. W. J. Sullivan,
Allied Manufacturing Corporation, along with a copy of the Alley Agreement between the First
National Bank and the City of Bozeman, dated September 8, 1970, and a memo from City Attorney
Crumbaker-Smith. The City Manager indicated that the City staff reviewed the two parking
spaces which were recently striped along the east side of the retaining wall and determined that
those parking spaces are on the bank's private property. He then stated he feels the only I
City involvement at this time would occur if someone were to park outside the striped lines, on
alley right-of-way. The City Manager further indicated that under the Alley Agreement, the
location of the alley was diverted from the straight east/west line to run through the bank
parking lot to East Babcock Street. He noted this alley situation is similar to that found in the
First Security Bank parking lot.
Mr. Jim Kommers, Attorney representing Mr. Sullivan, stated that this request has been
submitted to the Commission because the large semi trucks, ranging from 40-foot trailers to
61-foot trai lers, now used for in-town deliveries are unable to gain access to All ied Manufac-
turing Corporation through the alley as it now exists. He noted that in an Alley Agreement
dated February 22, 1981, signed by all parties involved, the final paragraph indicates that if
the bank encounters problems in providing alley access, 11 . . .. then and in that event the First
National Bank in Bozeman agrees to restore said alley and entrance to Slack Street as the same
now exists. 11
Mr. Kommers noted that the smaller delivery trucks which have been used by various
freight companies until recently were usually able to utilize the alley; but the large trucks do
not have the necessary turning radius in the alley. He stated that Mr. Sullivan's company
receives heavy barrels of chemicals and supplies; and it places an additional burden on the
delivery men when they are required to move 660-pound drums on handtrucks through the
alley. Mr. Kommers then stated that Mr. Sullivan is not requesting that the alley be restored
to its original location, but that relocation or removal of the hedge along the retaining wall and I
removal of the two newly-striped parking stalls would provide an adequate turning radius for
the large trucks; and would restore the same capabilities as the alley formerly provided.
Mr. Sullivan stated the area which has been recently striped for two parking stalls does
not belong to the bank but was deeded for alley use in 1970, while Mr. Tiegen owned the
property.
Mr. Kommers noted that the bank has undertaken projects since 1970 which were not
considered in the development plans at that time.

Mayor Weaver asked if Mr. Sullivan has discussed this matter with the bank. Mr.
Kommers stated that under the Alley Agreement, he does not feel his client has the right to
approach the bank, but that the City must initiate the process.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the bank still has the leasehold interest on Lots 16, 17
and 18, as referred to in the Alley Agreement. Mr. Kommers indicated that the bank now owns
those lots.
I City Manager Wysocki suggested the Commission may wish to request that Mr. Kommers
approach legal counsel for the bank in an attempt to resolve this situation.
Mr. Kommers stated he feels the City should approach the bank, since it is signatory to
the agreement. He noted that his only position with the bank would be a legal threat, which is
not practical in this situation. He indicated he and his client would prefer that the City
request that the bank remove the two newly-striped parking stalls and remove or relocate its
hedge.
City Manager Wysocki stated he would like the City Attorney to review the agreement
signed by the various property owners along the alley prior to action on this item.
Mr. Mark Refling, Attorney for the First Bank, stated the bank would be willing to meet
with Mr. Kommers and Mr. Sullivan to discuss this matter.
Mayor Weaver requested that this item be placed on next week's agenda for further
discussion.
Request for variance to curb cut policy - Don Cowles, 117 Heritage Drive
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a request submitted by Don Cowles
for a variance to the curb cut policy at 117 Heritage Drive. The City Manager stated that the
Engineering Officer and the Director of Public Service have previously reviewed and denied this
request because it does not conform with the City's current policy to allow one curb cut per
residence. He then noted that policy has remained as an unwritten policy since implementation
and suggested the Commission may wish to reduce the policy to writing. The City Manager
I then noted that Section 18.50.040 of the Bozeman Municipal Code provides that the Commission
may grant variances to the City's curb cut policies.
Mr. Gary Mesz. architectural representative for Mr. Cowles, stated the requested two
curb cuts would allow construction of a horseshoe drive and would eliminate any need for
backing onto the street. He noted the subject site contains two lots; and Mr. Cowles plans to
build only one house on those lots. He also noted that a 20-foot curb cut is allowed; and this
proposal would allow one 12-foot curb cut and one 16-foot curb cut. He stated the applicant
plans to complete extensive landscaping on the site; and well over 75 percent of the front yard
will be landscaped. Mr. Mesz stated he does not feel the two proposed curb cuts would create
a traffic hazard on the street.
Mr. Don Cowles. applicant, stated he has lived on Wagon Wheel Road, which is outside
city limits, on Iy about 150 feet from the subject site, for the past eight years. He indicated he
has a U-shaped driveway at that residence also; and it has proven practical and has not created
any safety problems.
Commissioner Anderson noted the sketch submitted to the Commission with the request
indicates there is quite a distance between other driveways and the proposed curb cuts for this
site. She also noted that Heritage Drive is a quiet cul-de-sac street.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked about the frontage of the subject lots along Heritage
Drive. Mr. Cowles indicated the frontage is 210 feet.
City Manager Wysocki noted that Heritage Drive does have a limited number of vehicles
because it is a cul-de-sac. He also noted two lots are involved in this request. The City
I Manager then recommended that the Commission approve the request, with limitations on the
width of curb cuts allowed. He further recommended that the Commission consider establishing
a written residential curb cut policy.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the
Commission approve the request submitted by Don Cowles. 117 Heritage Drive, for a variance to
the City of Bozeman curb cut policy. to allow two curb cuts, one not to exceed 16 feet and one
not to exceed 12 feet in width. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those

voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and
Mayor Weaver; those voting No, none.
It was then moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that
the Commission direct staff to review the existing curb cut policy and submit a recommendation
back to the Commission within ninety days. 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 voting No, none. I
Authorize City Manager to sign - Loan Servicinq Aqreement with State Capitol Employees' Credit
Union (l lH(. monres)
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission the revised Loan Servicing Agreement
with State Capitol Employees' Credit Union. He noted this agreement will provide the necessary
banking services for the Community Development Block Grant loans. The City Manager then
recommended that the Commission authorize him to sign the agreement.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked what changes have been made from the original agreement.
Mr. Tom Moss, Housing Development Associates, stated that just before this item was
submitted to the Commission two weeks ago, the staff received indications that a single loan
closing might be possible, which would reduce the costs. He noted that option has been pursued
but deemed not practical. Mr. Moss noted that the schedule for closing costs has been slightly
revised. and there are some minor wording changes in the revised agreement.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the fees for these loans seem to be high. She then
asked Mr. Moss how these figures compare with others with which he is familiar. She also
noted that the $7.50 monthly service charge seems quite high.
Mr. Moss stated that the typical loan origination fee will be $180.00. He noted that is
$30.00 higher than the last fees negotiated. which was two years ago. Mr. Moss then indicated
that the monthly fee includes the mailing of notices for payment as well as any late notices
which may be required. He noted that banks face hard costs for these loans; and financial
institutions seem less wi lIing to provide bargains than they have in the past. Mr. Moss then I
stated that for the City to handle the loans would be much more expensive than allowing a
financial institution to do it.
Commissioner Anderson noted that the monies from the loans are placed in a non-
interest-bearing program income escrow account. Mr. Moss indicated that federal regulations do
not allow monies to be placed in an interest-bearing account during the life of the Grant. He
noted that one of the recommendations is that as soon as the Grant is closed, the monies be
transferred to an interest-bearing account.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission authorize the City Manager to sign the Loan Servicing Agreement with the State
Capitol Employees' Credit Union for the Community Development Block Grant program. 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 voting No, none.

I Mayor Weaver declared a break from 4:55 to 5:05 p.m., in accordance with Commission

Ordinance No. 1187 - Salary Ordinance for FY 86
City Manager Wysocki presented Ordinance No. 1187, as reviewed by the City Attorney.
entitled:
ORDINANCE NO. 1187
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, FIXING THE
MONTHLY SALARY AND OFFICIAL BOND OF THE HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS,
CITY JUDGE AND THE EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF BOZEMAN AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that this Ordinance was provisionally
adopted on August 12, 1985. He then indicated the Ordinance has now been revised to include
a salary for the Director of Finance, since he has recently hired an individual for that position.
He noted that he may request an increase for this position later in the fiscal year if it is
deemed appropriate. The City Manager recommended that the Commission finally adopt Ordinance
No. 1187 as revised.
Commissioner Vant Hull requested that the Commission consider tabling action on this
item for one week since Commissioner Jordan is not present. She also noted that Commissioner
Jordan had asked for information about the workload and hours spent, but that information has
not yet been received. The Commissioner then stated she feels that an elected public official
should not receive a salary increase every year, but that the salary should remain the same
I during the term of office.
City Manager Wysocki stated he has received the following information from City Judge
Bryan. Court sessions were estimated at two hours per day, based on 48 weeks. totalling 480
hou rs. Out-of-court time, including talking to people and preparation for trials, was estimated
at 2! hours per week, based on 48 weeks, totalling 120 hours. The Judge also listed two
weeks of court school, totalling 112 hours. These figures total 712 hours, which converts to
sl ightly under $25.00 per hour.
Mayor Weaver noted the proposed salary increase for the Judge, or for any other City
employee, does not include a merit raise but only represents a basic salary adjustment.
The City Manager then stated he asked the City Judge about different types of cases
and workload he is confronting, and received the following information. He noted there are
more private attorneys appearing for hearings and challenging citations; there are more motions
being filed; and there are more court-appointed attorneys being made available for indigents.
The Judge also indicated that the number of DU I, assault, and suspended license cases does
not appear to be increasing, but the cases seem to be taking more time. The City Manager also
indicated that the use of substitute judges was discussed, with the following information
submitted. A substitute judge is paid $50.00 for the first hour and $30.00 for each succeeding
hour or part thereof. Court-appointed attorneys are also paid $30.00 per hour. The Judge
estimated that a substitute judge is used fifteen to twenty times per year.
The Mayor stated that failure to adjust an employee's salary, based on the consumer
price index, erodes that individual's buying power. The Mayor then asked why the salary
I increase proposed for the City Judge is 3 percent, while the remainder of the employees
received 3! percent.
City Manager Wysocki indicated that the Commission gave him a guideline under which to
work while negotiating salary increases. He noted that each division's budget was balanced on
that 31 percent overall increase. In the City Court budget, an extraordinary request for
salary increase was submitted for one of the staff members; but the overall increase was held at
08-26-85
332
the 3i percent. The City Manager noted that remaining within the guidelines while accommoda-
ting the request resulted in a reduction in the amount budgeted for overtime as well as the
increase recommended for the City Judge.
Commissioner Anderson stated she feels that $25.00 per hour is not overly competitive,
especially considering what an attorney can earn in private practice. She indicated no problem
with the proposed salary, assuming that the 712 hours reported is an accurate reflection of the
time spent. I
Mayor Weaver noted that the monetary difference between a 3!-percent raise and the
proposed 3-percent raise for the City Judge is $85.00 per year. He then expressed appre-
ciation that the City Manager acted within the guidelines established by the Commission. The
Mayor stated that the increases given are basically a consumer price index adjustment. Also.
the judicial branch is independent of the legislative and executive branches; and he does not
feel that the judicial branch should be treated any differently than the other branches. He,
therefore, recommended that the Commission restore the $85.00 per annum difference to the City
Judge's salary to maintain an even-handed approach. Mayor Weaver then indicated he will
support adoption of the ordinance as submitted; but he strenuously objects to treating the City
Judge differently from other employees at the same level.
City Manager Wysocki expressed concern about tying the salary increases to the consumer
price index. He stated he feels the salary adjustments are just that and should not be tied
into any particular item, such as the CPI, but only to the costs incurred by the City.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission finally adopt Ordinance No. 1187. the salary ordinance for fiscal Year 1986. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson.
Commissioner Mathre and Mayor Weaver; those voting No being Commissioner Vant Hull.

Holmes. He noted that there has been no change in the flows in Lyman Creek or Bozeman I
Creek during the past week. He also noted that the City has used approximately 12.4 acre feet
per day during the past week. The City Manager then noted that the City has received authori-
zation to acquire rights to an additional 50 acre feet from Mr. Walker, which will increase the
amount of water available to the City in the future.
The City Manager then noted the City has 996 acre feet of water yet available in Hyalite
Reservoir. He indicated that, while the water consumption recently has been well under the
18-acre-foot maximum, he feels the dry weather currently being experienced will increase

FY 1985-86 bud et; Tentative A pro-
m rovement
City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commissioners a proposed calendar of events for
adoption of the budget for Fiscal Year 1985-86. He noted the proposal contains two options and
recommended that the Commission consider following the first option. The City Manager noted
that the County Assessor's office has requested that the mill levy be submitted by mid-
September; and the fl rst option wou Id accommodate that request.
The City Manager then presented to the Commission a brief overview of his recommen-
dations for the FY1985-86 budget. He noted that the value of a mill is approximately I
$22,480.00, which is $1,300.00 higher than last year's value. He also indicated that the
General Fund budget has been balanced at $3,788,337.00; and the overall budget is proposed at
$8,355,045.00. The proposed mill levy is 111.64 mills, which is slightly below the 111.90
certified mill levy received from the County; therefore, a Resolution of intention to exceed the
certified mill levy is not necessary this year.
The City Manager then indicated that the proposed 5.0-mill levy for the SID Revolving
Fund will generate about $110,000.00. He noted this will not increase the balance in that fund
to the amount required by State Law; but it indicates the City's good faith in attempting to
correct that problem. He also stated that the potential of resolving litigation during this fiscal
year seems good at this time.
City Manager Wysocki then reviewed the summary of estimated expenditures, noting that
A-33, Snow Removal, is a new budget unit this year. He noted this budget will cover the
costs incurred by the City for enforcement of the sidewalk snow removal policy; and revenues
from fines under this program should cover any additional costs. Some of the Commissioners
expressed concern about the newly-adopted sidewalk snow removal policy and suggested they
may wish to review this item prior to snowfall.
The City Manager then indicated that the employer's share of contributions to the Police
Retirement and the Firefighters' Unified Retirement has dropped; therefore, the amount budgeted
has decreased from last year.
City Manager Wysocki then indicated that several loans made from the General Fund to I
various other funds have been repaid under the proposed budget. He noted one of those loan
repayments is $30,000.00 from the Garbage Fund back to the General Fund.
The City Manager reviewed the summary of estimated revenues. He noted that the
County has budgeted $5,000.00 for the Recreation Department and $6.300.00 from Revenue
Sharing monies for the Library since preparation of his recommendations. He further noted
that the Gas Tax Apportionment monies total $334,000.00. He indicated the operations budget
includes $278,000.00 of those monies; and the remaining $56.000.00 will be budgeted in the CIP
budget if his recommendations are utilized.
08-26-85
335
City Manager Wysocki indicated that the proposed budget anticipates only two more
quarters of Revenue Sharing, although a one-year extension of the program seems likely. He
noted no final action has been taken on the matter to date; therefore, only the known amounts
can be used. If the Revenue Sharing program is re-enacted for one year, he suggested that
the Commission consider appropriating those monies in the Capital Improvements Program later
in the fiscal year. He noted under his recommendations, $158,000.00 of the Revenue Sharing
I monies would be utilized for Police Division salaries and the purchase of small capital items.
Commissioner Vant Hull expressed concern about the use of Revenue Sharing monies to
cover Police Division salaries and indicated she feels that the mill levy should possibly be
increased. The City Manager reminded her that his recommendations include a mill levy which
is only slightly below the certified mill levy. He also noted that the proposed budget for the
General Fund is $5,000.00 below the amount available under the 105 percent rule.
The City Manager noted the carry-over into last year's budget was $102,800.00; and he
has proposed that a $103,000.00 carry-over be utilized to balance this year's budget.
City Manager Wysocki reviewed the breakdown of the proposed mill levy, comparisons of
mill levies and mill values for the past five years, and four funding options for this budget.
The City Manager then briefly reviewed the various special revenue funds, noting that
repayments of loans from the General Fund are included as follows: $1,313.00 from the Police
Retirement; $22,759.00 from the Employees. Health/Medical Insurance; and partial repayment of
$30,000.00 from I ntergovernmental Supply.
City Manager Wysocki then suggested that the Commission review the specific budget
units at the next work session. He noted that has been set for 2: 00 p. m. on Tuesday,
September 3, in the proposed calendar of events. The Commission concurred that further
discussion should be continued until 2:00 p.m. on September 3.
City Manager Wysocki then presented the Tentative Appropriation Ordinance for Fiscal
Year 1985-86 entitled:
