Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Natalie Meyer, Sustainability Program Manager
SUBJECT: First Addendum to License Agreement with NorthWestern Energy for the
Bozeman Solar Project at the Water Reclamation Facility
MEETING DATE: August 15, 2016
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize City Manager to sign the First Addendum to the Bozeman
Solar Project License Agreement with NorthWestern Energy, updating the description of the
licensed property, and replacing Exhibit A with an updated survey drawing of the property.
BACKGROUND: On February 8, 2016 the City Commission approved a memorandum of
understanding and license agreement with NorthWestern Energy (NWE), whereby the City
licensed approximately 2.5 acres at the Water Reclamation Facility for the Bozeman Solar Pilot
Project. Since then, NWE has finalized the design of the project site and provided the City with
a drawing prepared by a surveyor which accurately depicts the licensed property, includes a legal
description, and provides an accurate measurement of the licensed area (2.296 acres). The
Addendum revises the description of the licensed property in Section 2 and replaces Exhibit A
with the survey drawing. All other terms of the approved license agreement remain in effect.
Further background on the Bozeman Solar Pilot Project can be found in the February 8, 2016
staff memo.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None.
ALTERNATIVES: As recommended by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The Addendum does not amend the financial terms of the license
agreement.
Attachment: First Addendum to Solar Project License Agreement
