Award bids - construction of employee residence at the Water Treatment Plant
This was the time and place set to award the bid for the construction of the employee
residence located at the Water Treatment Plant.
City Manager Evans stated that the Director of Public Service (Works) has reviewed the
bids and has recommended that the bids be rejected and the project be rebid or that the base
bid plus Alternate Nos. 1 and 3 submitted by J. R. Baker Construction Company be accepted.
The City Manager stated that acceptance of the bid, plus architect's fees would be $9,025.00
over the amount approved by the Commission for construction of the house. The Di rector of
Finance has reviewed the balance of the Water System Revenue Bond issue and indicates there
are sufficient monies to cover this additional expense. The City Manager then recommended the
Commission accept the bid and authorize expenditure of the additional $9,025.00 to cover the
costs.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the City employee will pay the utility costs of the
residence.
City Manager Evans stated that the employee pays all utilities. The City Manager then
noted that the rental rate for the new house must be set. He stated that the mutual con-
venience of the employee and the City must be considered in setting that rental rate and stated
that the current rental rate for the Waste Water Treatment Plant and the house at the water-
shed is $150.00 per month.
I Mayor Stiff stated concern that the cost of constructing the house is 20 percent higher
than the amount allocated.
City Manager Evans stated that the projected cost estimate was optimistic. Also, he
stated the cost of building materials has risen dramatically in the past two months.

Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Stiff; those

Discussion - investigation fees and license fees for boilerroom operations
Assistant City Manager Barrick stated the City Attorney has indicated the language of
the Ordinance concerning investigation fees can be interpreted administratively to include the
applicant and any other supervisory personnel. He noted the people operating the telephones
are usually from the immediate area. The Assistant City Manager noted that Beartooth Produc-
tions, Inc., paid the $200.00 investigation fee on Ms. Barbara Garritson and recommended that
the Commission authorize the refunding of $150.00 of that fee, as they have with the gambling
license investigations.
City Manager Evans then recommended that the license fee be maintained at the current
level.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission authorize the refund of $150.00 of the investigation fee paid by Beartooth Produc-
tions, Inc., for the boilerroom license. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote:
those voting Aye being Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson,
Commissioner Mathre and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
Ms. Barbara Garritson, Beartooth Productions, Inc., stated she has contacted various
nonprofit organizations in Bozeman concerning the license fee for boilerroom operations. She
stated the consensus of those organizations is that the $100.00 per week license fee exercises
control over those persons involved in boilerroom operations who purchase City licenses. How-
ever, she noted there are boilerroom operations which operate within the city without a license I
and those that operate outside the corporate limits of the city and, therefore, are not required
to purchase a license. She requested that the Commission leave the bond amount at its current
level and reduce the license fee from $100.00 per week to $20.00 or $40.00 per week, so that it
is equal to other license fees around the state.
Commissioner Weaver asked what the old license fee was and if it had been effect since
1933.
Assistant City Manager Barrick stated that the old license fee was $20.00 for a boiler-
room operation having one to seven telephones and $50.00 per week for those having eight or
more telephones. The Ordinance providing for a boilerroom operation license was originally
adopted in 1979.
City Attorney Crumbaker-Smith stated that administering the license fee based on the
number of telephones can be difficult. She recommended that a set I icense fee per week be
establ ished.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
business license fee for boilerroom operations be set at $50.00 per week and that the City
Attorney be instructed to prepare an Ordinance to be brought to the Commission at ,next week's
meeting. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commis-
sioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and Mayor
Stiff; those voting No, none.
Request - permission to conduct "Crazy Days" sale on Friday, July 22, as well as Saturday, I
July 23, 1983 - Conradls, 101-103 East Main Street
City Manager presented to the Commission a request on behalf of Conrad's, 101-103 East
Main Street, for permission to conduct their "Crazy Days" sale on Friday, July 22, as well as
on Saturday, July 23, 1983. The City Manager recommended that the Commission approve the
request and allow any merchant who wishes to conduct the "Crazy Days" sale on Friday, July
22, as well as on Saturday, July 23, 1983, to do so.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission approve the request submitted by Conrad IS, 101-103 East Main Street, to conduct

"Crazy Days" sale on Friday, July 22, as well as on Saturday, July 23, 1983, and allow any
other business in the downtown area to observe the same dates for "Crazy Days" sales if they
so desire. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull and
Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.

City Manager Evans presented Commission Resolution No. 2466, as prepared by the City
Attorney, entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2466
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, REVISING CEMETERY
FEES.
The City Manager noted that this Resolution provides for increased cemetery fees, to be
effective September 1, 1983, as recommended by the Cemetery Board. He then recommended
that the Commission adopt the Resolution as. submitted.
I t was moved by Comm iss ioner Anderson, seconded by Comm iss ioner Mathre, that the
Commission adopt Commission Resolution No. 2466, revising the cemetery fees for Sunset Hills
Cemetery. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull and
Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
Discussion - draft letter to Mr. Jafay re convention center
Commissioner Anderson reviewed the chronology of events concerning Mr. Jafayls interest
in developing a convention center in Bozeman. She noted that on August 16, 1982 the Commis-
sion considered an invitation to attend a non-public meeting on August 29 with the developers.
The Commissioners stated they would not attend the meeting but authorized the City Manager
I and Assistant City Manager to attend. On August 30, 1982, City Manager Evans reported on
the meeting, noting the developer would then determine whether or not to perform a feasibility
study. She noted that the next mention of this proposed convention center was in the Bozeman
Daily Chronicle on Sunday, July 10, 1983.
Commissioner Anderson then stated concern that all information the Commission has
received has been on a second-hand basis and not directly from Mr. Jafay. She stated she
feels the private sector should be acknowledged and considered rather than the Commission
writing a letter to Mr. Jafay directly. She then indicated she would like to hear from the
Chamber of Commerce since they have been involved from the beginning in the consideration of
a convention center. Commissioner Anderson also stated that on numerous occasions the
Commission has expressed an abiding interest in a convention center. She then presented to
the Commissioners a copy of a letter she had drafted to the Chamber of Commerce for considera-
tion in place of the draft letter prepared by Commissioner Weaver to Mr. Jafay which was sub-
mitted in the Commissioners' packets on Friday.
Mr. Sam Kimbrell, Executive Di rector of the Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Chamber
is continuing to work with Mr. Jafay on the development of a convention center. He stated the
Chamber is developing various items which they wish to have in place before strongly pursuing
development of a convention center. He indicated those should be completed by the beginning
of 1984. Mr. Kimbrell stated he has no problem with the Commission writing a letter to Mr.
Jafay if they so desire.
Commissioner Weaver noted that Mr. Jafay has the impression that someone in government
I does not care whether or not he bui Ids a convention center. The Commissioner noted that
impression is not correct. He stated the Commission has been asked to attend meetings and
perform activities that are improper for a local government. He feels much of the problem is
due to miscommunication.
City Manager Evans stated he feels it would be more appropriate for the private sector,
represented by the Chamber of Commerce, to deal wtth the possible construction of a convention
center rather than the City. He noted that the City has expressed a desire to have a convention
center if it is feasible.

Commissioner Weaver stated he would like to see the City act on the matter, stating that
the local government supports the development of a convention center in Bozeman.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that Assistant Planner Mike Money submitted a report on
economic growth after attending a workshop on the subject. She noted that the Chamber of
Commerce, private businesses and local government should work together to promote economic
growth in an area. The Commissioner then stated she would not be opposed to the Commission I
approving a letter to be sent to Mr. Jafay. She also noted the taxable value has declined the
past two years, and development inside the city I imits should be encouraged.
Commissioner Weaver stated he would support sending a letter to the Chamber of Commerce.
He noted he would like an opportunity to revise the letter and present it to the Commission
next week for further consideration.
Mr. Bob Correa, former President of the Chamber of Commerce, stated that development
of a convention center is the type of project handled by the Chamber. He noted they have
several committees that work on such items. He noted the Commission had adopted a Resolution
stating support of economic development within the city. He suggested the Commission might
consider adoption of a more specific Resolution stating support of development of a convention
center which the Chamber of Commerce could forward to anyone interested in developing a con-
vention center. He noted that the City and the Chamber of Commerce should avoid aligning
with anyone developer but should consider all proposals submitted. Mr. Correa then stated
that at the meeting held in August, he felt those present had indicated a sincere interest in
Mr. Jafay's proposal; and he noted the City had been represented at that meeting. He then
stated he felt the responsibility for continuation of the project lies with Mr. Jafay as a result of
that meeting.
Commissioner Weaver suggested the Commission write a letter rather than a Resolution
for the Chamber of Commerce to send any interested developer.
Commissioner Anderson once again stated she felt it would be inapproriate for the City
to contact the developer personally. I
Mayor Stiff requested that Commissioner Anderson and Commissioner Weaver revise the
proposed letter to the Chamber of Commerce, to be reviewed at next week's meeting.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that a letter
to the Chamber of Commerce be prepared for Commission signature, expressing the City's con-
tinued interest in the economic development of the city, especially in the area of tourism, and
that a convention center would be conducive to that end. The motion carried by the following
Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner
Vant Hull, Commissioner Mathre and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
Break - 5:10 to 5:20 p.m.
Mayor Stiff declared a break at 5:10 p.m., to reconvene at 5:20 p.m., in accordance with
Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983.
Discussion - handicapped parking signing - letter from Bob Kerns dated June 21, 1983
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that she and Mayor Stiff had indicated concern about the
signing for handicapped parking stalls. She suggested the City paint the posts at handicapped
parking stalls to make them more visible.
Assistant City Manager Barrick stated that a Scout had contacted him about the possi-
bility of painting the posts for handicapped parking as a project. He had indicated that the
project must be approved by the Scout Council, which could take thirty to sixty days. The
Assistant City Manager noted that approximately thirty days have elapsed since the Scout's I
initial visit.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested directing the Staff to paint the posts or to put verti-
cal lettering on them to make the handicapped parking stalls more visible.
Commissioner Weaver stated that he would follow up on the Scout project to see where it
currently stands. He also noted that City resources are usually used for this type of project.
City Manager Evans stated that the City will do something innovative to make the handi-
capped parking stalls more visible.

Mayor Stiff then asked how the lay-down curb project is progressing.
Assistant City Manager Barrick stated that he has not heard from Mrs. Shirley Sedivy,
who is coordinating the project.
Mayor Stiff stated that Mrs. Sedivy has had health problems recently and suggested that
someone else carry the project forward.
I Commissioner Anderson stated that the City should install the lay-down curbs along Main
Street as soon as possible, using City funds. She indicated that monies in the Trust Fund
could be utilized for lay-down curbs at other intersections in the downtown area.
Discussion - City planters and flower beds
Commissioner Vant Hull stated she had requested that this item be placed on the agenda
as several people have commented that the City Hall should have flowers in the planters,
especially during the Centennial year. She stated Mr. Don Visser has about fifty geraniums
available at 75 cents each and asked if the City could afford to purchase the geraniums to put
in the planters.
Mayor Stiff stated that small items which add to the aesthetics of the community have
been deleted in recent years. He then indicated the alley program is one that has been cut.
He stated many of the alleys are difficult to travel through because of holes and garbage. He
also noted concern that elimination of the landfill assessment may be creating a portion of that
problem.
City Manager Evans noted the Street Division has one less employee than it had twenty
years ago. He also stated that the City is severely limited in taking action on garbage
problems located on private property.
Commissioner Mathre stated she had ridden through some of the alleys on her bicycle,
and she feels the shrubbery creates more problems than the garbage and the holes in the alley.
City Manager Evans stated that a City employee will check the condition of the alleys.
I He noted the resources must then be considered in determining what maintenance can be done
on the alleys. The City Manager then stated that if it is the consensus of the Commission, he
wi II have the staff proceed with purchase and planting of flowers in the City Hall planters.
Executive Session - litigation
Mayor Stiff called an Executive Session of the Commission at 5:35 p.m. for the purpose
of discussing matters of litigation, and requested that all persons except the Commissioners,
City Manager Evans, Assistant City Manager Barrick, City Attorney Crumbaker-Smith, Di rector
of Finance Swan, former City Attorney Bob Planalp and the Clerk of the Commission leave the
room.
Former City Attorney Planalp and City Attorney Crumbaker-Smith updated the Commission
on all pending litigation and the status of each item.
Mayor Stiff declared the Executive Session of the Commission closed at 6: 25 p.m. and
reconvened the meeting.
Recess - 6:25 p.m.
Mayor Stiff declared a recess at 6:25 p.m., to reconvene at 7:00 p.m. for the purpose
of conducting the scheduled public hearing and completing the routine business items.
Reconvene - 7:05 p.m.
Mayor Stiff reconvened the Commission meeting at 7:05 p.m. for the purpose of conduct-
I ing the scheduled public hearing and completing the routine business items.
Public hearing - proposed uses of Federal Revenue Sharing Fund monies and the relationship to
the "City Managerls Estimate of Expenditures and Revenues for FY 1983-84"
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the proposed uses of Federal
Revenue Sharing Fund monies and the relationship to the "City Managerls Estimate of Expendi-
tures and Revenues for Fiscal Year 1983-84."
Mayor Stiff opened the public hearing.
07-18-83
198
City Manager Evans reviewed the City Manager's recommendation for the use of Federal
Revenue Sharing monies. He noted that $112,000.00 in Federal Revenue Sharing monies have
been carried over from Fiscal Year 1982-83; and the City will receive $87,973.00 in the fourth
quarter allocation, for a total of $199,973.00 in available Federal Revenue Sharing monies. The
City Manager stated the current Federal Revenue Sharing program will expire on September 30,
1983. He noted proposals have been submitted to Congress for a five-year re-enactment of the I
program, but no action has been taken. Therefore, he stated, the potential revenue from this
source cannot be estimated because it is uncertain. City Manager Evans then recommended the
Commission appropriate $61,500.00 of the Federal Revenue Sharing monies for Police and Fire
Division salaries and $138,293.00 to the Capital Improvements Program. He stated if the
Commission does not wish to appropriate the monies to the Capital Improvements Program, the
$138,293.00 could be appropriated to the Unallocated Reserve for future contingencies.
Mayor Stiff asked how the decreased value of the mi II would affect the use of Federal
Revenue Sharing Fund monies.
City Manager Evans stated the Commission could reduce the amount to be allocated to the
Capital Improvements Program and use a larger amount of the Federal Revenue Sharing Fund
monies to support the Police and Fire Division salaries.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that several letters have been received stating support of
the development of zoning regulations for a historic district and developing a view conservation
strip along the hills surrounding the city. She noted that costs for these two projects have
been estimated at slightly more than $4,000.00. She indicated that Federal Revenue Sharing
monies could possibly be used for these items.
No one was present to speak in support of or in opposition to the proposed uses of the
Federal Revenue Sharing Fund monies for Fiscal Year 1983-84.
Mayor Stiff closed the public hearing.
City Manager Evans recommended that the Commission establish the Tentative ApproprIa-
tion Ordinance. He stated the Commission must hold a public hearing on the Tentative Appro- I
priation Ordinance, at which time the public may once again request specific uses of the Federal
Revenue Sharing Fund monies.
Work session - Tentative Appropriation Ordinance
City Manager Evans stated that the Commission must prepare the Tentative Appropriation
Ordinance, which then becomes the budget for the City for Fiscal Year 1983-84. He stated the
Director of Finance, the Controller and he have reviewed the revenue estimates and have re-
viewed updated data. He stated they all feel the revenue estimates presented are as accurate
as possible. The City Manager recommended that the Commission accept the revenue estimates
as submitted in the "City Manager's Estimate of Expenditures and Revenues for Fiscal Year
1983-84."
The Commission then reviewed the items that had not been completed at Wednesday's
special Commission meeting with the division/department heads.
A-17 Library
City Manager Evans stated that he has not received any information on the Countyls
intentions regarding the mill levy for libraries.
Mrs. Beverly Knapp, Chairperson of the Library Board of Trustees, stated that John
Parker talked to Joy Nash, one of the County Commissioners. As of this meeting, Mr. Parker
has not received any information on the County's intentions.
City Manager Evans stated that the Library Board of Trustees has requested $14,964.00
more than the City Manager's recommendation to cover additional salary obligations and reflect I
the headquarterls portion of the Broad Valleys Federation of Libraries monies. The City
Manager noted the Commission has five alternatives to consider on this request: (1) use
Revenue Sharing monies; (2) use Unallocated Reserve monies; (3) raise the mill levy; (4) deny;
(5) hold in abeyance and consider for a Budget Amendment if the County does not provide
additional funding. City Manager Evans stated that he would like to see the County Commission
raise the mill levy to County residents because 40 percent of the Library's usage is by County
residents.
07-18-83
189
Mrs. Knapp stated she had reviewed the figures presented to the Commission at the special
meeting held last Wednesday and had found that the additional amount requested for salaries
was incorrect. She stated the correct amount is $13,105.00, increasing the total for Salaries,
Wages and Benefits to $97,771.00.
Mayor Stiff asked what the County has been assessing County residents for the libraries.
I Mrs. Knapp stated that last year, they levied 1.41 mills, which was split among all of
the libraries of incorporated cities around the County. She stated that levy raised approxi-
mately $32,000.00 for the Bozeman Public Library. She stated with non-payment of taxes, the
actual amount received from the County was approximately $29,000.00. She stated the ceiling
for tax levies for libraries was set at 3.0 mi lis. During the last Legislative Session, she stated
that ceiling was raised substantially, but she is uncertain of the present ceiling.
A- 1 City Commission
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that at the first meeting of the new Commission, they had
decreased the salary from $70.00 per meeting to $50.00 per meeting and had used the monies
remaining for projects they felt should be supported. She stated she feels the salary should be
increased to the previous level to compensate those serving and to attract good candidates for a
position on the Commission.
Commissioner Anderson stated opposition to increasing the Commissioners' salaries. She
also indicated that people should not run for the Commission because of an economic incentive,
but because of phi losophies.
Commissioner Mathre stated she had called the three other larger Cities in Montana that
have the Commission-Manager form of government. She found the following rates: Billings -
same as Bozeman; Great Falls - Commissioners, $300.00/month; Mayor, $450.00/month; plus
$50.00/month for expenses for each person; Helena - Commissioners, $350.00/month; Mayor,
$450.00 I month. The Commissioner then stated she would not support an increase in the
Commissioners' salaries, but if salaries were increased, they should not exceed those in the
I three cities noted.
Commissioner Weaver noted that if the salaries were increased to $75. OO/meeting, they
would be at the same level as two years ago plus the average increase granted to City employees
for last fiscal year. He stated support of the increase to $75. OO/meeting.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission restore the Commissioners' salaries to the level set two years ago plus the 7 percent
interim adjustment, setting the salary at $75. OO/meeting, and that the Mayor be paid one and
one-half times that rate per meeting, and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an
Ordinance. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Stiff; those voting No being Commissioner
Anderson and Commissioner Mathre.
City Manager Evans noted this increase in salaries will cause an increase in the Salaries,
Wages and Benefits category in the amount of $7,214.00, increasing the total to $22,887.00.
Mayor Stiff then stated the Commission should consider adding to the Operations section
of the budget to cover costs of searching for a new City Manager.
Commissioner Anderson suggested that the Commission consider sending one or more Commis-
sioner to the communities in which the top candidates for the City Manager position currently
reside. She noted the School Board had used this procedure in hiring a new Superintendent
and found it to be helpful.
Commissioner Weaver expressed grave reservations about sending Commissioners to various
cities. He noted that the telephone can be as helpful, at much less expense.
I The Commission then added $4,500.00 to the "Other" line item in the Operations section
of the budget to cover costs of searching for a new City Manager, increasing the total of that
section to $30,425.00 and increasing the total City Commission budget unit from $41,598.00 to
$53,312.00.
B rea k - 8: 1 5 to 8: 20 p. m .
Mayor Stiff declared a five-minute break at 8:15 p.m., to reconvene at 8:20 p.m., in
accordance with Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983.

Work session (continued) - Tentative Appropriation Ordinance
A- 2 Clerk of the Commission
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that telephone interruptions break the train of thought and
suggested the switchboard operator be instructed to take messages rather than transferring calls
to the Clerk of the Commission. She noted this could provide more efficiency in completing the
minutes each week.
Commissioner Weaver stated that bunching of telephone calls can help efficiency when I
working on a specific project. He stated interest in trying that system.
Mayor Stiff asked about possible improvement of the work area in which the Displaywriter
is located.
City Manager Evans stated that improvements could be considered in the City Hall Complex
operations budget unit. He agreed it would be helpful to have a better work station than is
currently available and stated he would pursue the possibility of constructing partitions to
provide a better work area.
Commissioner Mathre stated that people call City Hall to get specific answers. She
stated she would like to leave the operations as they currently exist because she feels that the
citizens should be able to get answers when they call. She noted she would place the item as
high, or higher than, completion of minutes on the priority list.
A- 7 City Court
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a memo prepared by the City Attorney
stating what benefits are provided for elected officials. He noted the City has paid Worker's
Compensation and Unemployment Compensation in the past, but the City Attorney interprets the
State Statute to provide that those benefits are not extended to elected officials. The City
Manager then stated he feels there is sufficient money in the City Court budget item to cover
all costs of that operation.
A-24 City-County Planning Department Transfer
Commissioner Vant Hull stated she had talked to some of the residents along South Willson I
Avenue and along the east side of town about the historical zoning and view protection zoning,
which were possible programs submitted by the Planning Staff. She noted these items did not
receive a high priority rating from the Commission, but she feels that these items should be
considered. She noted that the two items would cost less than $5,000.00 and suggested the
Planning Department budget be increased to cover the two projects.
Commissioner Weaver stated that Planning Director John Moss tabulated the priorities
submitted by the Commission and listed those as priority items. He stated he also feels the
Planning Director should provide input prior to budgeting for additional items because he feels
the appropriation of monies would also assign tasks to be completed.
Commissioner Mathre noted the priority items listed would use the available manhours for
such projects. She expressed concern that the projects would not be completed if the monies
were appropriated.
City Manager Evans stated the Commission could change the priority of the projects to
be completed. He stated the Planning Department has sufficient money to operate for the fiscal
year and recommended that the Commission not appropriate more monies to that budget unit.
Commissioner Vant Hull then suggested the Commission appropriate some of the Federal
Revenue Sharing monies to supplement the additions to the budget rather than increasing the
mill levy by a large amount.
Mayor Stiff suggested that the Commission resolve the salaries to be set in the Salary
Ordinance prior to determining the source of the additional monies to fund the increases in the
proposed budget. I

City Manager Evans recommended that the Commission establish the salaries of the six
positions covered by the Salary Ordinance and provisionally adopt the Ordinance.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the
Commission set the salaries for those positions listed, based on the 4 percent increase provided
for other City staff, as follows, and that the Commission provisionally adopt Ordinance No.

The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Weaver, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and Mayor Stiff; those voting No being
Commissioner Vant Hull.
Work session (continued) - Tentative Appropriation Ordinance
Mayor Stiff stated that the Commission had increased the proposed expenditures by
$11,714.00.
City Manager Evans noted that the Commission must increase the proposed revenues to
cover that increase. He also noted that his estimate on the mill levy to support the proposed
expenditures was based on a mill value of $20,500.00. Mr. Evans stated that last week the City
had received the certified mill value, which is $19,863.00. He stated that to support the
revised expenditures, the Commission must consider a possible mill levy increase of 3.37 mills to
I cover the lower mill value and .59 mill to cover the increased expenditures, for a total mill levy
of 110.70 mills.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that during the past Legislative Session, the Commission
repeatedly indicated that property taxes would be increased if the Legislature did not provide
relief to local governments.
B rea k - 9: 1 0 to 9: 20 p. m .
Mayor Stiff declared a break at 9:10 p.m., to reconvene at 9:20 p.m., in accordance with
Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983.
Work session (continued) - Tentative Appropriation Ordinance
Director of Finance Swan presented to the Commission a memorandum on the estimated
General Fund Reserve as of June 30, 1983. She then reviewed that memorandum with the Commission.
The Director of Finance stated that no textbook or reference book tells how to analyze a
reserve. She stated she had called the City of Great Falls, the City of Billings and the State
of Montana Local Government Services offices, but had been unable to find how to determine the
minimum balance for a reserve account. She noted the State Statute provides that a City may
carry a reserve balance not in excess of one-third of the budget. She stated it does not how-
ever address a minimum balance.
Director of Finance Swan then reviewed the preliminary estimate of the General Fund
Reserve as of June 30, 1983. She stated that she had used the General Fund cash balance as
I of June 30, 1982, as shown on the audited financial statements, in the amount of $925,715.00,
had added the receivable from the Sewer Operating Fund in the amount of $289,000.00 and then
subtracted outstanding warrants as of June 30, 1982, transfers to SI D's as authorized by the
Commission and budget amendments approved by the Commission in the amount of $516,659.00,
which left a preliminary General Fund Reserve balance of $698,056.00 as of June 30, 1983.
Amy Swan then stated the Attorney General has ruled that the Municipal Budget Act does
not apply to the Commission-Manager, general powers, form of government. However, she noted
.

..
202
the Act does contain information that the City can draw upon. She stated one of the items re-
quired in that Act is that a City must anticipate receiving 100 percent of the taxes assessed.
She noted that through May, the City has received 71 percent of the taxes levied, and the
County does not anticipate a large payment to the City for June. She stated that last year,
the City received 87.5 percent of the taxes assessed.
Commissioner Weaver noted that it is important for the City to have enough reserve to I
carry through the most serious cash shortfall.
The Director of Finance noted that cash flow problems are most serious during the
period of July through November, when the first half taxes are received from the County. She
noted that the low point in cash balance is probably reached in November.
Commissioner Weaver noted when he checked the balance of the Reserve in December, it
was approximately $500,000.00. He noted it is important to maintain a Reserve that will carry
through the low point in the cash balance without registering warrants.
Commissioner Mathre asked if there are times when the City is operating without a
reserve.
City Manager Evans stated that during the City's financial problems in late 1978, the
City registered warrants internally. He noted that when a City registers warrants, it loses the
interest on the cash balance and loses the interest that it must pay to register the warrants.
He stated when those two interest rates are combined, a City currently loses approximately 20
percent in interest when registering warrants. The City Manager also stated that if the City
had not had a sizable reserve, the Water System Revenue Bonds would not have been sold at
the equivalent of a AAA bond rating. He stated the balance in the Reserve is judgmental, but
if the City begins dipping into its Reserve, it will soon face the same problems as were dealt
with in November 1978.
Director of Finance Swan stated the City has not had a history of the Reserve balance.
She indicated that in November, she will have one full year of daily cash balances, which will
indicate the high and low points and the average cash balance. She stated when those figures I
are available, the minimum Reserve balance should be easily determined.
City Manager Evans then stated there is a high probability that Revenue Sharing will be
re-enacted. He suggested that if unanticipated Revenue Sharing monies are received, they be
appropriated to the Capital Improvement Program. He urged the Commission not to rely on Reserve
monies or Revenue Sharing monies to support City operations. He noted the Commission should
attempt to consider budgeting for the upcoming two fiscal years when making a decision on the
current budget.
Commissioner Weaver stated he would like to confront the taxpayers with the unsubsidized
costs of operating the essential City services. He stated he would also like to have all Revenue
Sharing monies removed from the City's operating budget because it is not a definite source of
revenue. He indicated he would prefer using some of the Reserve monies to support the budget
if necessary rather than using Revenue Sharing monies and cutting into the Capital Improvements
Prog ram.
Commissioner Anderson stated she does not feel the Reserve balance should be depleted.
Mayor Stiff asked if the $280,000.00 refund of motor vehicle replacement fees has been
considered in the preliminary estimate of the General Fund Reserve. He noted that if it has
not been considered, it wi II affect the percentage of taxes to be received and the actual cash
balance in the Reserve. He stated with that potential decrease, he does not feel that the
Reserve balance is too high.
Director of Finance Swan stated she hopes to set up a model for Reserve analysis. She
noted that will help monitor the reserves and determine the optimum level for the General Fund I
Reserve.
Mayor Stiff stated he feels the Commission should receive information in a more timely
manner. He noted that with upgraded financial statements., determining the Reserve balance
should be easier than it has been in the past.
The Director of Finance stated she feels the first part of May would be a good time to
prepare an estimate of the Reserve balance because that is just prior to receipt of the second
half taxes from the County.
07-18-83
2U3
Mayor Stiff noted the question now facing the Commission is whether to levy the entire
110.70 mills or use a portion of the $138,293.00 which has been proposed for the Capital
Improvements Program. He stated he would like to levy the entire amount and use any availa-
ble Federal Revenue Sharing Fund monies for some of the projects listed in the Transportation
Plan.
I Commissioner Weaver stated that the amount of revenue needed to meet the expenditures
is approximately $113,000.00.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested levying for one-half of the amount and using Federal
Revenue Sharing Fund monies to cover the other one-half of the amount needed. Commissioner
Anderson stated support of that option.
Break - 10:20 to 10:30 p.m.
Mayor Stiff declared a break at 10:20 p.m., to reconvene at 10:30 p.m., in accordance
with Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983.
Work session (continued) - Tentative Appropriation Ordinance
Commissioner Weaver suggested the Commission increase the mill levy to 109 mills and
absorb the 1.7 mills by using Federal Revenue Sharing monies, which would decrease the amount
to be used in the Capital Improvements Program by $33,767.00. He noted the increase in the
mill levy would then reflect the amount of revenue lost through elimination of the business
inventory tax during the last Legislative Session.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the Commission would consider the addition of one police
officer.
Commissioner Anderson and Commissioner Weaver stated they would not consider an addi-
tional police officer in this year's budget. Commissioner Weaver stated he would like to see
documentation from the Police Division showing the need for an additional officer.
I Mayor Stiff stated concern about using additional Federal Revenue Sharing Fund monies
in the Operations budget. He noted the City should be living within its means and should be
able to base the budget on other revenues received.
Commissioner Anderson asked how the City will fund the $13,105.00 difference in the
Library budget if the County does not increase its share to the City.
City Manager Evans cautioned that the Commission should consider that amount at a later
date. He indicated there will be sufficient money in the Unallocated Reserve to cover that cost
if necessary.
Commissioner Mathre stated support of Commissioner Weaver's suggestion for providing
the revenues.
City Manager Evans stated he felt Commissioner Weaver's suggestion was a good compro-
mise. He expressed optimism that the Federal Revenue Sharing program will be re-enacted for
a five year period, possibly with an increase of up to 16 percent. He noted the City should
know whether or not the program will be re-enacted prior to adoption of a Capital Improvement
Prog ram budget.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the
Commission adopt the Tentative Appropriation Ordinance, in the total General Fund amount of
$3,291,408.00, setting the mill levy not to exceed 109 mills and increasing the amount of Federal
Revenue Sharing monies by $33,767.00, to be used in the Police and Fire Division salaries.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Weaver, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and Commissioner Vant Hull; those voting
I No being Mayor Stiff.
Work session - advertisement to be placed in ICMA Newsletter and various newspapers for City
Manager position
City Manager Evans stated that Clerk of the Commission Sullivan had checked the cost of
placing advertisements in the ICMA Newsletter and the Nation's Cities Weekly. He noted that
the International City Management Association will publish the advertisement at no charge. The
Nation's Cities Weekly charges $5.00 per 60-character line per insertion; and if the ad is run
07-18-83
201;.
three times, the National League of Cities will publish it the fourth time at no charge. The
City Manager then noted that the Commission has just changed the salary and suggested the
Commission may wish to change the advertisement.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission accept the revised advertisement as submitted in the packets and direct the Clerk of
the Commission to publish the advertisement in the ICMA Newsletter, Nation1s Cities Weekly and I
various newspapers throughout the state as soon as possible. The motion carried by the follow-
ing Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre,
Commissioner Weaver and Mayor Stiff; those voting No being Commissioner Vant Hull.
Depository Securities as of June 30, 1983
In compliance with the provisions of Section 7-6-201 to 7-6-612, M.C.A., Commissioner
Anderson and Commissioner Vant Hull had examined the receipts of Depository Bonds and Securities
held by the Director of Finance as security for City funds deposited in Bozeman banks. The
Depository Bonds and Securities were found to be in order.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the Depository
