MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE CITY COMMISSION
BOZEMAN, MONT ANA
December 23, 1985
************************
The Commission of the City of Bozeman met in regular session in the Commission Room,
Municipal Building, December 23, 1985, at 4:00 p.m. Present were Mayor Weaver, Commissioner
I Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Jordan, City Manager
Wysocki, Assistant City Manager Barrick and Clerk of the Commission Sullivan.
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 for
discussion.
Minutes - December 16, 1985
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
minutes of the regular Commission meeting held on December 16, 1985 be approved as amended.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Jordan and Mayor Weaver;
those voting No, none.
This was the time and place set for the decision on the Master Plan Amendment requested
by Jerry Perkins to change the presently designated Medium-density Residential District to
include a Light Industrial District and a General Highway Commercial District on Tracts 2 and 3
of Certificate of Survey No. 1215, located in Section 1, Township 2 South, Range 5 East,
I Montana Principal Meridian. The subject 65. 2572-acre tract is bounded on the north by Baxter
Lane, on the east by North Eleventh Avenue extended, on the south by West Oak Street extended
and on the west by North Seventeenth Avenue extended.
Mayor Weaver reminded the Commission that at last week's meeting the following motion
was placed on the floor and subsequently tabled to this week's meeting: It was moved by
Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that the Commission approve the
Master Plan Amendment requested by Jerry Perkins to change the presently designated Medium-
density Residential District to include a Light Industrial District and a General Highway
Commercial District on Tracts 2 and 3 of Certificate of Survey No. 1215.
City Manager Wysocki noted that various items have been discussed in conjunction with
this Master Plan Amendment and the annexation request, which is listed in the next agenda
item. He noted that through the Master Plan Amendment, annexation and Zone Map Change
processes, the applicant would dedicate an 80-foot right-of-way for the extension of West Oak
Street, which would ultimately reduce the costs of improvements for the first priority project
for FAU funding and help to complete that project in a more timely manner. Also, the County
has indicated interest in extending North 19th Avenue from West Oak Street to Baxter Lane;
and the annexation process would provide three-fourths of the needed right-of-way for that
project. Completion of that roadway would also alleviate some of the traffic problems on Baxter
Lane, particularly at its intersection with North 7th Avenue. The City Manager then recommended
that the Commission approve the requested Master Plan Amendment.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the packet of information for the recent City-County
I Planning Board meeting lists five criteria for consideration of a Master Plan Amendment, noting
that she feels the positive effect on the transportation system should be considered on this
application.
Commissioner Jordan expressed reservations about approving of the Master Plan Amendment,
noting that he realizes the Master Plan is not a static document, but must be changed
periodically. The Commissioner then noted that in the past, many of the requested Master Plan
Amendments which have been approved have resulted in benefits to the developer; and he feels
that any future changes must benefit the City as well as the' developer. He then stated that he
12-23-85
492
feels this Master Plan Amendment will benefit the City as well as the developer and indicated
that he will support the requested change.
Commissioner Anderson stated support for the requested Master Plan Amendment, noting
that the proposed roadway system provides an attractive traffic circulation pattern.
Commissioner Mathre indicated support for the proposed Amendment because it will
correct a traffic problem through the rerouting of Baxter Lane, as well as enabling the con-
struction of West Oak Street and North 19th Avenue. She also noted that the light industrial I
land use designation between the interstate and rerouted Baxter Lane makes more sense than
the existing residential designation.
Mayor Weaver indicated support for the proposed Master Plan Amendment because of its
contribution to improvement of the north side traffic system and because it does help to round
out the land use designation in the area.
The motion to approve the Master Plan Amendment from Medium-density Residential to
Light Industrial and General Highway Commercial on portions of Tracts 2 and 3 of COS No.
1215, as set forth above, then 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.
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that the subject 139. 9983-acre tract
contains properties under three separate ownerships: the Tschache parcel contains 32.5 acres;
the Saccoccia parcel contains 42.2408 acres; and the Perkins parcel contains 65.2572 acres. He
noted the properties are basically bounded by North 11th Avenue extended, Baxter Lane, North
23rd Avenue extended and West Oak Street extended.
Mayor Weaver reminded the Commission that the following motion was placed on the floor
at last week's meeting and was subsequently tabled to this week's meeting: It was moved by I
Commissioner Mathre. seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Commission indicate its
intent to proceed with the annexation procedure for the subject annexation request.
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commissioners that they had requested information
concerning the amount of city water available and the amount which is required to serve the
existing community as well as those annexations which have been approved but not yet developed.
He then submitted to the Commission a memo from Assistant Planner Elkins indicating that a
30-foot right-of-way has been dedicated for North 19th Avenue north of Baxter Road for a
distance of 3061.6 feet, widening to a 60-foot right-of-way for a distance of 1031 feet. He a I so
submitted to the Commission a memo from Assistant City Manager Barrick indicating that the
City currently has 12,703 acre feet of water available per year; and improvements to the water
system, including the expansion of Hyalite Reservoir, a presedimentation basin. storage expan-
sion at Lyman Creek, restoration of Mystic Lake and taking the parks off the domestic water
system, could increase that by an additional 10,390 acre feet. The City Manager noted that the
existing development plus future development of the existing annexations as well as the subject
annexation will require the existing water available as well as most of the water to be gained
through expansion of Hyalite Reservoir. He then stated that any of the other increases in the
water supply would also result in an expenditure; but the City should begin to consider those
items as well.
The City Manager then stated that the sewer lines in the subject area are currently at
approximately one-half capacity, so the existing system could adequi'itely service the subject
properties. I
City Manager Wysocki then noted that the applicants have indicated a willingness to
dedicate one-half the rights-of-way for perimeter streets as well as the rights-of-way for all
interior streets, as well as entering into Waivers of Protest for the Creation of Special Improve-
ment Districts for the improvement of those roadways to a local street standard. He further
noted that during the Master Plan Amendment considered above, Mr. Perkins indicated a willing-
ness to dedicate an 80-foot right-of-way for the extension of West Oak Street and the relocation
of Baxter Lane to alleviate the traffic problems at the existing intersection of Baxter Lane and
12-23-85
493
North Seventh Avenue; and the other applicants have indicated a willingness to participate as
well. The City Manager then reminded the Commission that Mr. Tschache had submitted a
request for annexation of his parcel only earlier this year; and the Commission had denied that
request, asking Mr. Tschache to contact the property owners to the east in an attempt to
alleviate access problems to that parcel.
City Manager Wysocki then recommended that the Commission authorize and direct the
I staff to proceed with the annexation process for this request.
Commissioner Anderson asked about the impact that this annexation will have on the
existing water system. The City Manager noted that water rights or a cash-in-lieu payment is
required prior to development, since the subject parcel is more than ten acres in size. He a I so
noted that development will be a slow process, which can be accommodated as it happens through
improvements to the water system in the most advantageous sequence possible.
Commissioner Anderson then noted that three water courses cross the subject parcels
and asked if the 35-foot setback for each will be maintained. The City Manager indicated that
the 35-foot setback requirement will be maintained for those designated as live streams during
the development process.
The motion, as set forth above, then carried by the following Aye and No vote: those
voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner
Jordan and Mayor Weaver; those voting No, none.

Preliminary Plat review - Endowment and Alumni Foundation, MSU - a portion of Tract C, cas
No. 1243, located in the NW! and NE!, Section 14, T2S, R5E, MPM (75.1-acre tract located
south of West College Street and west of South 19th A venue)
I This was the time and place set for review of the Preliminary Plat submitted by the
Endowment and Alumni Foundation of Montana State University for a portion of Tract C, Certi-
ficate of Survey No. 1243, located in the northwest one-quarter and northeast one-quarter of
Section 14, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Montana Principal Meridian. This site contains
75.1 acres and is commonly known as being located south of West College Street and west of
South 19th Avenue.
Assistant Planner Dave Skelton presented the Staff Report through a slide presentation.
He reminded the Commission that the applicant has requested rezoning of this parcel from PLI,
Public Lands and Institutions, to TR, Technology Research, and B-1, Neighborhood Business;
and that process has not yet been completed. The applicant has also submitted an application
for a Planned Unit Development, which contains developmental guidelines for the project; and
the Zoning Commission and the City Commission will conduct the public hearings on that item in
the near future.
The Assistant Planner stated that under the proposed Prel iminary Plat, the 75. 1-acre
tract will be divided into 20 TR-zoned lots and 2 B-1-zoned lots. The primary access to the
subdivision will be from West College Street, with a secondary access from West Garfield Street
extended.
Assistant Planner Skelton stated that three waterways traverse the subject property; and
one waterway borders the west side of the subdivision. Groundwater in the area is also quite
high; and the Planning Board indicated its concern about that problem. The Assistant Planner
also noted there is no storm sewer system in that area; and the applicant proposes to install
I detention ponds on each lot, with a drainage easement provided to Farmer's Canal for any
waters not drained through percolation.
The Assistant Planner reviewed the roadway system for the project, noting that three
roads will be provided in the subdivision; and the applicant will improve West College Street
from its intersection with South 19th Avenue to its intersection with West Main Street during
various phases of development. He noted that improvement includes dedication of 70 feet of
right-of-way, since Farmer's Canal lies along the north side of that roadway. Also, the appli-
cant will install a five-foot graveled bikeway and walkway along the south side of West College
Street, which will line up with the existing walkway located along West College Street east of
South 19th Avenue. The Assistant Planner then stated that the Department of Highways has
reviewed the traffic impacts and does not anticipate additional problems, noting that a signal is
already warranted at the intersection of West College Street and West Main Street. He stated a
traffic signal is not warranted at the intersection of West College Street and South 19th Avenue
at this time; but this project would help to warrant a signal.
Assistant Planner Skelton then reviewed the eight public interest criteria considered
during the Preliminary Plat review, noting there is a need for additional areas in which tech-
nology research establishments can be located. He also noted that, although the project will
affect the local services, the improvements to West College Street wi II benefit the entire
community. Development of the project will also increase the tax base in the community.
The Assistant Planner then stated that the City-County Planning Board has conducted
I its public hearing on this item and recommended approval, subject to fifteen conditions.
Break - 5:08 to 5:17 p.m.
Mayor Weaver declared a break from 5:08 p.m. to 5:17 p.m., in accordance with Commission
policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983.

Preliminary Plat review - Endowment and Alumni Foundation, MSU - a portion of Tract C, cas
No. 1243, located in the NW! and NEt. Section 14, T2S, R5E, MPM (75.1-acre tract located
south of West College Street and west of South 19th A venue)
Commissioner Vant Hull noted a uno accessu strip is to be required along West College
Street and asked how that differs from not providing driveways to the various lots. The
Planning Director stated that if a uno access" strip were not required, the curb and gutter
could be cut and a driveway installed to West College Street.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked about taxation of any development within this subdivision, I
since the Endowment and Alumni Foundation at Montana State University is a tax exempt entity.
City Manager Wysocki stated that one of the conditions of approval is that a method of taxation
is to be developed. He noted that while the land remains vacant, there will be no taxation; but
after the site has been developed, the method established for taxation will apply to both the
land and the improvements.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated the recent water and sewer rate study indicates that those
establishments discharging stronger effluent should pay higher rates and asked if manholes will
be provided for each establishment so that the City may check the effluent. The City Manager
reminded the Commission that the City has an ordinance addressing pretreatment of effluent;
and the City staff must be able to enforce that ordinance. He indicated that a manhole would
not be required, but the effluent could be captured in another manner. He further noted that
the City may wish to require an establishment to dispose of specific items in a manner other
than through the City's sewage disposal system.
Commissioner Jordan expressed concern that the extension of South 23rd Avenue changes
names as it crosses into this subdivision. Assistant Planner Skelton stated the City staff has
discussed that item; and the Engineering Officer indicated that he could accept the change to
Technology Boulevard, since it carries out the theme in that subdivision.
Commissioner Jordan asked if there was any discussion on installation of stop lights at
the intersections of West College Street and South 19th Avenue as well as West College Street
and South 8th Avenue. The Assistant Planner noted that a traffic signal is not warranted at
the intersection of West College Street and South 19th Avenue; and there was no discussion of I
a traffic signal at South 8th Avenue.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted the Staff Report indicates a need for additional TR
property and asked about the area located in Valley Unit Subdivision. The Assistant Planner
stated that there are no improvements to the TR-zoned property in Valley Unit; and most
establishments seek a site with the improvements already installed.
Commissioner Vant Hull then stated the Commission does not review the final plat and
questioned how the Commission could be certain that the formula established for taxation is
satisfactory. Planning Director Lere stated that the formula for taxation will be established in
the developmental guidelines, which will be reviewed by the City Commission within the next
couple months.
Commissioner Vant Hull reminded the Commission that Commission Resolution No. 2357,
adopted in 1981, encourages economic growth compatible with our area's natural amenities within
the community; and the recently-adopted guidelines for issuance of Industrial Development
Revenue bonds also encourage economic growth with protection for our natural amenities. She
then distributed copies of those documents to the Commission.
Mr. Don Gustafson, President of the Endowment and Alumni Foundation at Montana State
University, stated that MSU is a land grant college and has been in the forefront on technology;
and he feels this technology research project is a continuation of the University's tradition. He
also noted that this project will support the City as well as the County through additional tax
revenues as the lots are developed. Mr. Gustofson stated that the lots wi II either be sold or I
leased, or the Endowment and Alumni Foundation may construct a building and lease it to an
establishment. He then indicated that no matter what method is used to develop the various
lots, once the lot has been developed and generates revenue, payment of taxes or cash-in-Iieu
of taxes will begin.
Mr. Jerry Gaston, Sanderson/Stewart/Gaston Engineering, Inc., representing the applicant,
indicated that he would address any questions from the Commission.
Commissioner Anderson asked if any additional precautions will be taken for installation
of underground storage tanks since the groundwater is quite high and moving rapidly. Mr.
12-23-85
48/
Gaston stated that he does not know of any proposed underground storage tanks at this time.
He noted that the developmental guidelines do not address that item; but any tanks installed
would meet state and federal guidelines. He then indicated that the Solid Wastes Bureau in
Helena is presently developing a program for disposal of hazardous wastes in Montana; and that
program should be in operation before any of this project is developed. He noted that the
developmental guidelines address the disposal of hazardous wastes. Also, the Endowment and
I Alumni Foundation retains the right to inspect any of the buildings on a spot check basis and
to sample the effluent into the sewage system. He noted that the existing ordinance provides
for a surcharge so the City can recover the costs of treating extra strength effluent.
Mayor Weaver asked if any specific requirements for monitoring of the sewage discharged
from each facility will be contained in the developmental guidelines. Mr. Gaston stated there
will not be; however, sampling points will be required for each business so that the City and
the State may conduct its activities on an impromptu basis.
Commissioner Vant Hull expressed concern that if each business located within the tech-
nology research park had just under the federal limit for hazardous wastes, the City landfill
may not be able to accommodate all of those wastes. She then asked if more stringent require-
ments should be placed in the developmental guidelines. Jerry Gaston indicated that he does
not feel more stringent requirements should be placed in the guidelines. He did, however,
suggest that the developmental guidelines contain a statement that if more stringent federal or
state guidelines are implemented, they would apply to those businesses located within this
project.
Commissioner Anderson asked if there is any data on the speed of the groundwater
movement. Mr. Gaston indicated there is not any at this time. He then noted that, although
the water movement is to the north, the Farmer's Canal provides a natural barrier. He then
stated that development on this property should not increase the groundwater level because of
the amount of land which will be covered by structures and paved parking lots. He indicated
that, at the same time, the groundwater level should not be lowered any more than three or
I four feet at the most; therefore, the wells in the area should not be adversely impacted by
development within this subdivision.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked about the difference between a boulevard sidewalk, which
is proposed for this project, and a regular sidewalk. Mr. Gaston stated a boulevard sidewalk
is one which has a boulevard between the street and the sidewalk, which is typically found in
the residential areas. A regular sidewalk is one which is located immediately adjacent to the
street, such as is found in the business districts.
Mayor Weaver asked if the sidewalks along West College Street will be installed during
improvement of that roadway, noting that sidewalks should alleviate some of the conflicts
between vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles. Mr. Gaston stated that the sidewalk to be installed
along West College Street is not to be located on the public right-of-way, but will be located on
private property.
Mayor Weaver asked what mechanism will be utilized to begin the taxation process. City
Manager Wysocki stated that once a building has been completed, the County Assessor will place
a value on the building and the property; and the taxes or payment-in-lieu of taxes will be
based on that valuation.
Mr. Don Weaver, 2404 Spring Creek Drive, spoke in support of the proposed subdi-
vision. He noted that development of the technology research park could generate a substantial
amount of income for the University as well as the City, citing Stanford University in Palo Alto,
California, as an example. He indicated that it is difficult to get companies to locate in
Bozeman because of its location, but he feels that development of this subdivision could lure
I them.
The City Manager noted that discussions have centered around bringing new businesses
into Bozeman; but the City should also encourage those currently in Bozeman to stay. He
suggested that development of this subdivision may help to keep existing businesses here.
Commissioner Jordan asked if the Commission will review development of the individual
lots through the Planned Unit Development process. Planning Director Lere stated that under
the major Planned Unit Development application recently submitted, a set of developmental
guidelines is established; and proposals for development of each lot will be submitted for staff
. 12-23-85

review prior to issuance of a building permit. He indicated that only proposals for which the
staff or the Zoning Commission feels a public hearing is warranted will come before the Commis-
sion for consideration.
City Manager Wysocki concurred in the City-County Planning Board' recommendation for
approval of the Preliminary Plat, subject to fifteen conditions.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission approve the Preliminary Plat submitted by the Endowment and Alumni Foundation of I
Montana State University for a portion of Tract C of Certificate of Survey 1243, subject to the
following conditions as recommended by the Planning Board:

the narrative improvements agreement. Further, that the existing gravel
approach to Lot 1, Block 2, from College Street be designated as a
temporary access for Phase I.
6. That a break-away barrier for emergency access to Lot 1, Block 2, from

191, and that portion of West Garfield Street from South 19th Avenue to
the west boundary of Phase V.
9. That the developers will provide waivers of protest for future area-wide

Request for abatement of penalty and interest on delinquent 1984 SID assessments - Mark
Penland, 115 Circle Drive
I City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a request for abatement of penalty
and interest on delinquent 1984 Special Improvement District assessments for 115 Circle Drive,
as submitted by Mark J. Penland, along with the receipts dated November 29, 1985, for his
payment of the 1984 and 1985 assessments.
Mr. Mark Penland stated that he and his wife purchased this home on November 12,
1984; and at that time the seller assured him that he had paid the SI D's. He further noted
that during the closing, American Land Title Company did not bring the fact that he was
responsible for the 1984 assessments to his attention; and the previous property owner had
received the notice. Mr. Penland then indicated that he did not receive a notice for the 1985
assessments and on November 29, he telephoned the City Hall to find out if any SID payment
was due this year. He stated at that time, he was informed that the assessments were delin-
quent; and the 1985 assessment was due immediately as well as the 1984 assessment plus penalty
and interest. Mr. Penland then indicated that the non-payment of the 1984 assessment was an
oversight due to unfamiliarity with the process as well as the fact he had received no notice
and requested that the Commission abate the $48.63 in penalty and $242.48 in interest on the
1984 assessment.
City Manager Wysocki stated that Mr. Penland had approached him about this matter;
and he had indicated that he did not have any authority to abate the penalty and interest. He
noted that the closing statement for the property indicates a credit to the buyer for that
portion of the SI D's not paid by the seller. He then stated that he can understand Mr.
Penland's position; however, the City has a policy regarding prompt payment of SI D assess-
I ments, and he does not feel that policy should be compromised. The City Manager further
indicated that the City has incurred expenses through the late payment of the 1984 assessments
because it carried that balance rather than having the monies to invest. City Manager Wysocki
then recommended that the Commission not abate the penalty or the interest on the 1984 assess-
ment.
Following a brief discussion, the Commission concurred in the City Manager's recommen-
dation; and no action was taken on the request to abate the penalty and interest on the 1984
assessments for the property located at 115 Ci rcle Drive.
Abatement of 1985 taxes
City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission a summary of the requests for abatement
of special assessments for Fiscal Year 1985-86. The City Manager stated that Director of
Finance Gamradt has reviewed the requests for abatement and found them to be correct, as
follows:
Tax No. Name Address Amount Type Reason
347 Sadie I. Welton 420 N. 3rd $ 28.50 Garbage House vacant 10/10/85 thru 4/10/86
661 Rose Eagle Menzel 1106 S. 3rd 41.18 Garbage House vacant 4/11/85 thru 11/7/85
981 Katherine Jordan 305 S. 14th 62.70 Garbage No garbage collection at this house--
confirmed with Clinton Gee, Sanitation
Department
1609 Loren G. Winks 116 E. Dickerson 33.60 Garbage House vacant 10/15/85 thru 5/1/86
I TOTAL $165.98
The City Manager then expressed concern about the abatement policy, questioning whether
the City should abate a portion of the garbage assessment simply because the individual leaves
the area for a portion of the year. He noted that the garbage truck still drives by the resi-
dence and the service remains available all year long.

The Commissioners concurred that the abatement of taxes has been a long-standing
policy which should be reviewed rather than abruptly ended at this time. They then requested
that the staff review the matter and submit a recommendation for change if deemed appropriate.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
applications for abatement of special assessments listed above be approved, and the Director of
Finance be authorized and directed to enter the abatements on the tax record. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commis- I
sioner Vant Hull and Mayor Weaver; those voting No being Commissioner Anderson. Commissioner
Jordan abstained.

Continued discussion - street salting strategies
City Manager Wysocki noted this discussion was continued from last week's meeting to
allow the Commission an opportunity to review additional information submitted by Director of
Public Service Holmes.
Mr. Taplin, 221 West Hayes Street, suggested that the City find out how other cities in
the state are resolving the salt problem. He noted that he personally opposes the use of salt,
and suggested that the Commission may wish to conduct some type of survey to determine how
many people oppose the use of salt and how many do not. Mr. Taplin noted that if the cost of
snow removal increases due to the elimination of salt, he feels most people would agree to pay
the additional costs involved.
Mr. Ira Slingsby, 3575 Stucky Road, stated opposition to the use of salt. He suggested
that possibly a petition should be considered to place this issue on the ballot and let the people
of the community and the county determine whether salt should be used. Mr. SI ingsby then
noted that the State and the University also use salt, so this becomes a three-pronged issue.
He then noted that the Director of Public Service has expressed concern about the increased
costs of snow removal if salt is eliminated; but people are now absorbing additional costs
through the deterioration to their vehicles.
Commissioner Jordan stated he had initially raised this subject in an effort to find a
practical way in which to use a minimum amount of salt to maintain safe streets. He stated that
the elimination of salt will not happen, noting that the monies saved in car deterioration would I
probably be paid in lawsuits against the City due to serious accidents, since the City is respon-
sible for the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the community. The Commissioner
stated he does not feel a two-cent-per-gallon gas tax will succeed in getting on the ballot for at
least four years; and the City must take steps to assure the safest possible streets in the
meantime.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested the City may wish to determine the costs of con-
tracting out snow removal, as well as working out the mechanics and a formula for distribution
of the revenues prior to approaching the County Commission on the gas tax; and that newspaper
reports that County Commissioners are opposed cannot be accepted as definitive.
Mayor Weaver noted that the City is currently using approximately 75 tons of salt per
year, which is one-half that used in 1980. He further noted that information on the use of salt
has indicated various cities along the highline have attempted to eliminate the use of salt; but
those attempts have been short lived because of the dramatic increase in major traffic accidents.
He then stated that no suitable chemical substitute for salt is available at this time.
The Mayor stated that the Commission is responsible for the health, safety and welfare
of the community; and the use of salt must be determined by the Commission, not the voters.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the decrease in the amount of salt used has increased
the manpower and equipment costs. The City Manager indicated that the City does not have
the information necessary to determine the answer. He further noted that the number of streets
and intersections to be maintained has increased over the years. He then stated that if a salt
substitute is to be ready for commercial use in two to three years, he does not feel the City I
should purchase any additional snow removal equipment at this time. He indicated that possible
methods of gaining additional revenues for snow removal would be through a gas tax or possibly
a city-wide district for street maintenance, which would require that all streets be treated
equally.
Mayor Weaver noted that the Commission has asked that (1) the staff continue to pursue
the decreased use of salt at the critical intersections; (2) the city management continue to
monitor the progress of CMA (calcium magnesium acetate) as it is being developed in Iowa; (3)
12-23-85
5~-C) 3
the city management pursue a political plan to approach the County Commission concerning the
placing of a two-cent-per-gallon gas tax on the ballot to fund additional costs of alternative
snow removal techniques; and (4) the city management further explore the costs and opportuni-
ties for contract snow removal.
The Mayor then noted that it is difficult for the residents to understand that government
must provide for the safety of the community. He stated that all of the information received
I indicates that to cease using salt would be to dangerously increase the hazards at critical
intersections; and the Commission is not willing to take those steps.
Mr. Greg Beardslee asked how many signatures would be required on a petition submitted
to the County Commission indicating support for a two-cent-per-gallon gas tax. The Mayor
indicated that a petition containing signatures of 15 percent of the registered voters in Gallatin
County would implement the initiative process; and the question would then be placed on the
ballot.
Mr. Beardslee then noted that he has read the information which has been submitted to
the Commission; and the various reports indicate that the use of salt is to be used in conjunc-
tion with a good plowing program. He noted that to further decrease the use of salt, the City
should implement more plowing and snow removal; and the monies are not currently available for
such a program. Mr. Beardslee then noted that the State recently auctioned a large amount of
snow removal equipment in Helena and suggested the City may be able to acquire equipment
through that process rather than purchasing new equipment.
Mr. Bob Woodburn once again spoke in opposition to the use of salt. He further noted
that when the main streets are cleared through the use of salt and plowing, people tend to be
less cautious on those streets which are not clear.
Mayor Weaver closed the discussion, noting that the Commission has asked the staff to
review four items, as listed above.
Discussion - attendance of Commissioner Jordan at the Center for Improvement of Public
I Management
.City Manager Wysocki suggested that this discussion be deferred for a period of one
week, due to the length of this meeting.
The Commission concurred; and Mayor Weaver requested that this item be placed on next

Staff report - re third interchange for Bozeman
City Manager Wysocki suggested that this discussion also be deferred for a period of one
week, due to the length of this meeting.
Commissioner Vant Hull distributed to the Commissioners a draft letter to the State
Department of Highways and asked them to review the letter. She also asked for authorization
to distribute copies to other entities as well for their review prior to next week's meeting.
The Commission concurred that Commissioner Vant Hull should distribute copies of the
draft letter to other entities for review during the upcoming week. Mayor Weaver then re-
quested that this item be placed on next week's agenda.
