Incentive Program Awards
City Manager Evans stated that the committee considered two suggestions for the
Incentive Awards Program. However, both suggestions have either been adopted or in the
process of being adopted. The committee felt that an award should not be made, but would

the proposals submitted to determine if additional cash awards should be made.
Staff recommendation - award of bids for janitorial services for Municipal Complex and
Carnegie Building
I City Manager Evans presented to the Commission the staff recommendation for the
award of a bid for janitorial services for the Municipal Complex and Carnegie Building. The
City Manager recommended that the Commission accept the low bid of Davis Maintenance
Company, Bozeman, Montana, in the amount of $557. SO/month for the Municipal Complex and
$165.00/month for the Carnegie Building, for a total of $722.50/month. The City Manager
stated that Davis Maintenance Company has been working in the Helena area, and all of their
references were satisfied with their work. The company is now expanding into the Bozeman
a rea. The City Manager stated that the janitorial service is scheduled to begin at the
Carnegie Building on July 1 and at the Municipal Complex on August 1, when the present
custodian retires.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
bid for janitorial services for the Municipal Complex and the Carnegie Building be awarded to
Davis Maintenance Company, Bozeman, Montana, in the total bid amount of $722. SO/month, it
being the lowest and best bid. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those

and others from the Wall B am Caravan to the Mayor and Commission
-
Mr. Wayne Gibson stated that some of the people from the Wally Byam Caravan have
I been in Bozeman since May 17, 1982. He then introduced International President Harmon
Vaughn, California; First Vice President Jerry Crapnell, Florida; Third Vice President George
Morgan, Pennsylvania; Executive Secretary Car' Locke, Ohio; Recording Secretary Teressa
Taylor, California; and the newest Past President Andy Kaiser, Texas.
International President Harmon Vaughn noted that the Wally Byam Caravan will set up

that this is the third rally in Bozeman, and they hope to come back again.
. ")'"

Mayor Stiff thanked the Wally Byam people for being in Bozeman once again. He a I so
noted that moving such a large number of trailers and people into Bozeman has virtually no
impact upon the city because it is so well organized.
Past President Andy Kaiser stated that he has had an opportunity to meet with
Chambers of Commerce during the past eight years. In no place were the Chamber of
Commerce and community diligent and energetic as in Bozeman.
ht service warehouse fad lities I
This was the time and place set for a decision on a request on behalf of Mr. Neal
Ganser for a Conditional Use Permit to construct six (amended from the eight originally
requested) service warehouse facilities on Lot 11, Bomont Center Subdivision, more commonly
known as 1408 Gold Avenue.
City Manager Evans recommended approval of the request, subject to the conditions
established by the Planning Staff.
Commissioner Mathre expressed concern that the Zoning Commission did not make a
recommendation on the request as revised by the appl icant.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that
the Commission approve the request for a Conditional Use Permit on behalf of Mr. Neal Ganser
to construct six service warehouse facilities on Lot 11, Bomont Center Subdivision, more
commonly known as 1408 Gold Avenue, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the paving, drainage and access plans be reviewed and approved by the
City Engineer prior to final site plan approval.
2. That security lighting be incorporated into the plan that will be in compliance
with Section 18.84.040, Item 4(d) of the Zoning Regulations.
3. That all signs be nonreflective and nonilluminous in nature.
4. The applicant is in violation of the Conditional Use Permit filed on Lot 10 of this
subdivision, which adjoins the proposed project site to the south. The stream I
bank in this area has been graded and stripped of its riprap, vegetation and
shrubbery. Plans, including drawings, and a list of materials to be used in the
restoration of the stream bank shall be submitted to, and approved by, the Soil
Conservation Service and City Engineer prior to issuance of the Conditional Use
Permit, with work to be completed in conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit

MSU Master Plan Briefing - Craig Roloff and Tom Nopper
Mr. Tom Nopper, Di rector of Administration at Montana State University, stated that
021
approximately one year ago the University began a Master Plan, to coordinate with the new
Bozeman Area Master Plan. Mr. Nopper expressed appreciation for the cooperation between
the City and University during the past year in working on this plan. He noted that this
plan will provide the framework for making future decisions. He stated that many controver-
sial items will be mentioned; however, no definite decisions have been made.
Mr. Craig Roloff, Assistant Director of Facility Planning at MSU, stated that the plan-
I ning process has made MSU aware of the benefits a master plan can provide. He stated that
the University has just completed the Phase I Master Plan and plans to use this as a basis for
the Phase II Master Plan study. Mr. Roloff then presented a slide show which provided a
summary of the Master Plan. This plan is divided into fourteen sections:
1. Community Analysis
2. Campus Population
3. Campus Land Use
4. Vehicular Circulation
5. Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation
6. Parking Facilities
7. Site Development
8. Handicapped Accessibility
9. Campus Housing
10. Educationa I / Academic Faci Iities
11. Classroom Utilization
12. Class Laboratory Requirements
13. Support Facilities
14. Future Planning Activities
Mr. Roloff stated that part of the Plan is for a pedestrian-centered campus. He noted
that this includes closing a portion of South Eleventh Avenue and addresses the need to
develop additional City arterial streets. He does not want to see undue delay for improving
pedestrian traffic safety on campus; and he expressed a University wi llingness to help the
City in possibly obtaining funding for the extension of Kagy Boulevard from South Eleventh
Avenue to South Nineteenth Avenue.
Mr. Roloff stated that when the preparation of the Master Plan was begun, question-
I naires were sent to all department heads. He received a number of comments about parking
problems and about the problems of pedestrian traffic and vehicular traffic on campus. He
noted that much of the campus housing, some of the classroom buildings and two parking
areas are located on the west side of South Eleventh Avenue, while the remainder of the
campus lies east of South Eleventh. He noted that many students cross the street, but not
at any specific location, so an overpass or underpass for the students would not be feasible.
Mr. Nopper indicated that it may be possible to close South Eleventh through the
campus area during the major daytime hours and open the street during the remainder of the
day.
Mr. Roloff noted that in the Master Plan is a series of development ideas that will be
phased. He noted that the Master Plan gives a statement of where the University wishes to
be ultimately, and does not deal with exact details.
Mayor Stiff asked how the University would drain the fieldhouse or stadium if South
Eleventh Avenue were closed.
Mr. Nopper noted that the assumption is that Kagy Boulevard will be extended and
could handle traffic. He noted that if South Eleventh Avenue were closed now, the
University would have problems with major events. He noted that the concept is for a
pedestrian campus, and the plans must be made based on 17,000 students.
Mr. Roloff stated that the University does not want to try to provide housing for all
of the students. He noted that plans are being made to provide about 90 units of new hous-
ing within the next few years, with possible plans to remove some of the older housing units.
I He noted that older units are removed when the rent does not meet the costs of necessary
maintenance if at all possible.
Mayor Stiff noted that businesses in that area are extremely concerned about the
possible closure of South Eleventh Avenue. He noted that the impact could be severe if this
closure is made before Kagy Boulevard is extended. He noted that it would be in the commu-
nity's best interests to have the street opened during at least a portion of the day.
Mr. Nopper feels that too much emphasis is placed on that portion of the Master Plan.
/] I ..
U i..t_
He noted that the planning is for the future. He stated that if all conditions were to remain
as they are now, there may not be any problems. However, plans and faci lities are changing,
and the number of students and the traffic is projected to increase; and something must be
done.
Mr. Roloff stated that the Museum of the Rockies is considering expansion of its
facilities. As part of the changes, the entrance may be changed from South Seventh Avenue
to an extension of Greek Way. This would then allow South Seventh Avenue to be improved I
and possibly extended further south.
Mr. Roloff stated that he has enjoyed working with the City and the Planning Staff in
preparing this Master Plan. He noted that a spirit of cooperation has been developed between
the City and the University, and he hopes to see this cooperation continue.
Mr. Dave Penwell, Attorney for Theatre Operators, Incorporated, thanked the University
for establishing a Master Plan. He stated that any action which would affect traffic on South
Eleventh would affect the Campus Square, which is located just west of the Fieldhouse. He
noted that TOI did not know that a Master Plan was being prepared until ten days ago. He
also stated that if TOI had had any idea that a closure of South Eleventh was being con-
sidered, they probably would not have built the Campus Square. Mr. Penwell also noted that
South Eleventh is the only through access from Main Street to Kagy Boulevard between South
Willson and South Nineteenth. He also noted that the extension of Kagy Boulevard is a key
issue in this proposed closure, and the right-of-way has not yet been obtained.
Mr. Penwell then asked what entity would make the ultimate decision on the closure of
South Eleventh Avenue. He then noted that when Capitol Hill Subdivision was platted, all of
the streets within the subdivision were donated to public use forever. In 1956, Montana
State College petitioned the City Commission to vacate a portion of Lincoln Street, where the
Health and PE Complex is located. The approval of that petition also accepted the conditions
that Montana State College would improve and maintain South Eleventh Avenue from West
Grant to West Lincoln as an all-weather thoroughfare, and that the College would not prohibit
or restrict the use of West Grant, West Garfield and South Eleventh where they pass through I
the campus. Violation of these provisions would void the vacation of the portion of Lincoln
Street which was vacated for construction of the Health and PE Complex, and that portion of
the street would revert to the City.
Mr. Tim Warner, Manager of TO I, stated opposition to the closure of South Eleventh
A venue. He stated that closure of South Eleventh now would create problems in draining the
theaters, Fieldhouse or Stad ium. He also stated that TOI and several of the small businesses
would like an opportunity to provide input into the Master Plan. Mr. Warner stated that the
Campus Square has children's matinees and senior citizens' shows during the day.
Mr. Mike Miles, member of the Board of Directors of the South Willson Improvement
Association, noted concern with the possible closure of South Eleventh. He noted that South
Eleventh is one of the major arterials in Bozeman. He stated that c10su re of South Eleventh
would create more traffic on South Willson. He noted that residents along South Willson
Avenue are permanent residents of the city, many of them with small children. Mr. Miles
stated that the residents along South Willson are also concerned about the aesthetics. He
noted that South Willson is the only street in Bozeman, and possibly in Montana, on the
National Historic Register. He noted that the big picture must be considered in the closure
of streets, and not just one small area.
Mayor Stiff thanked Mr. Nopper and Mr. Roloff for presenting the University's Master
Plan to the City.
Report on B road Valleys Federation of Libraries - John Parker I
Mr. John Parker, Chairman of the Library Board, presented to the Commission a
report on the Broad Valleys Federation of Libraries, what it is, what it does, where the
monies come from and where it currently stands. He stated that the Federation consists of 24
libraries located in 12 western Montana counties. It provides a way to borrow books from
several different places, which saves each library purchasing a book which is requested.
The monies to support this program are provided through the Coal Severance Tax money.
023
The budget is approximately $100,000.00 per year, with the headquarters library receiving a
15 percent administrative fee. The Federation is controlled by a coordinator, Peg Hileman,
because the headquarters library is located in Bozeman. The libraries in Butte and Helena
would now like to become the headquarters library. Mr. Parker stated that some people feel
that the Federation has outlived its usefulness and is caught in its own bureacracy. They
suggest establishing a non-profit corporation to administer the program.
I Mr. Parker then requested that the parking lot on the east side of the creek be
smoothed out for parking. He noted that the parking lot on the west side of the library
sometimes is filled, and people need another place to park. He also asked if the City has
requested that the County levy the full 1.5 mills on county residents to support the library
during the next fiscal year.
Discussion - Dave Ward - protest of sidewalk assessment
City Manager Evans stated that the applicant has requested that this item be removed
from the agenda for this week. He noted that the applicant has left Bozeman due to a death
in his family and has requested that this item be placed on a future agenda.
Discussion - payment to contractors on SID's when the bonds for financing are not sold
City Manager Evans stated that the engineering firm of Morrison-Maierle, Inc., did
engineering work on SID Nos. 615 and 632, for a sanitary sewer trunk and sanitary sewer
lines in Burrup Annexation. The cost of these engineering services is $19,500.00 for SID
No. 615 and $6,500.00 for SID No. 632, for a total cost of $26,000.00. Bonds for these two
SID's have not been sold. The City Manager stated that the decision must be made on whether
or not to pay the engineering costs, and whether or not the engineering costs can be
assessed to the property owners. City Manager Evans recommended that the Commission
resolve this problem and establish a policy for future actions.
Mayor Stiff stated that the engineering costs for SID's are not a City expense. The
I Mayor noted that this problem points to some of the deficiencies in SID policies.
City Attorney Planalp noted that this issue has developed in a number of cities, and
each has handled the problem in a different manner. He stated that the courts in Montana
have not dealt with this issue. The City Attorney noted that the City has signed a contract
that states that the City will pay the engineering costs on the SID's. However, under the
SI D portion of the State Codes the City is considered to be a conduit for funds passing from
one party to another, with no liabilities incurred.
City Attorney Planalp then stated that if the City pays the engineering costs
voluntarily or by court order, it must then determine if the costs will be assessed to the
property owners involved. He noted that under State Statute, the property owners can be
assessed all costs which benefit the district. Those benefits are split into intangible benefits
and tangible benefits. He noted that no case law in Montana applies to these questions.
Commissioner Weaver asked who benefits from the services provided by the engineering
firm.
City Attorney Planalp stated that the property owners benefit because they receive the
benefit of the engineering, and the engineering firm benefits because of the costs involved.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked the City Engineer to provide a brief history of SID Nos.
615 and 632.
City Engineer Van't Hul stated that SID No. 615, for the sanitary sewer trunk to the
Burrup Annexation, was requested by basically one individual for the development of a parcel
of land lying between Interstate 90 and Highway No. 10 on the eastern edge of Bozeman. He
I stated that the SI D process was discussed with most of the property owners in this annexation.
He noted that the property owners were aware that once the resolution creating the district is
adopted, they agreed to support the project and would incur costs. The City Engineer
stated that he feels that engineering services are tangible benefits.- He noted that the
engineering work is now complete, except revising the estimated cost, and the property
owners should absorb the costs.
Commissioner Weaver asked if this SID would be completed.
024
City Engineer Van't Hul stated that the bond market is not good at the present time.
He feels that a one-time assessment could be set against the properties to pay for the
engineering costs, which would reduce the cost of a sanitary sewer trunk in the future.
City Attorney Planalp stated that the special improvement district must be recreated if
the price of materials rises. He also stated that if the City makes the payment for
engineering services, it should assess the property.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if it would be difficult to get the property owners to I
pay this assessment.
City Attorney Planalp recommended that the resolution of assessment be adopted as
soon as possible so that any possible court challenge may be completed before November 30,
1982.
Commissioner Mathre feels that the property owners should be assessed.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
discussion on payment of engineering services on Special Improvement Districts be tabled for
a period of one week. 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.

PROHIBITING PUBLIC DISPLAY OR EXHIBITION OF BEER OR LIQUOR
IN CERTAIN PUBLIC PLACES IN THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA;
DEFINING LIQUOR AND BEER, PUBLIC PLACES, PUBLIC DRINKING,
AND PUBLIC DISPLAY OR EXHIBITION.
Mayor Stiff stated concern because writing of a citation for violation of this ordinance
is at the discretion of a police officer.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission adopt Ordinance No. 1109, prohibiting public display or public consumption of
a Icoholic beverages. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye

Mrs. Pat O'Brien, President of the Bedpan Cup Committee at Bozeman Deaconess
Hospital, requested,that the Commission consider a request for waiver of the open container
ordinance in conjunction with the Bedpan Race to be held on Sunday, June 27, 1982.
Assistant City Manager Barrick noted that the requested event would be three days
after the present moratorium on consideration of requests for waiver of the open container
ordinance expires. The Assistant City Manager stated that this item was not placed on this
week's agenda because the motion on the moratorium reads, II ... that the Commission es-
tablish a thirty-day moratorium on any and all applications for waiver of the open container
ordinance, ... II
Mayor Stiff stated that the Commission could remove the moratorium. I
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that
the Commission remove the thirty-day moratorium on any and all applications for waiver of the
open container ordinance. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those
voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Com-
missioner Weaver and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
025
City Manager Evans recommended that action on the request for a waiver of the open
container ordinance on behalf of the Bedpan Committee be deferred for a period of one week.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the group has had any enforcement problems in the
past.
Mrs. O'Brien stated that the Fire and Police Departments have participated in the
race, and wi II participate this year as well. She stated that 300 to 350 people attended last
I yea r.
Discussion - reallocation of office space in City Hall
City Manager Evans stated that the reallocation of office space in the City Hall had
been discussed two weeks ago and was deferred until this meeting. He noted that the
Commission has previously authorized a budget amendment to provide monies to build par-
titions in the present machine room and Building Inspection and Engineering Departments. He
stated that, when the space is reallocated, everyone should be basically satisfied with the
arrangement. The City Manager also noted that the workspace should be provided for the
employees that will lead to the most production possible. City Manager Evans also feels that
the Commissioners should have an office, since the City Hall has adequate office space.
Mayor Stiff had asked Director of Finance Swan earlier in the meeting if she is com-
fortable with having an office in the front of the building.
Director of Finance Swan feels that she should be close to the Finance Department.
She stated that she would be more comfortable in the front of the building.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that the Commissioners could use the Law Library when
they need office space.
Commissioner Anderson suggested putting the Law Library and Commissioners' office in
the vacant Building Inspection and Engineering Departments vault.
City Manager Evans stated that the vault has been reserved for future use. He a I so
noted that where people are located can be changed as long the basic concept is not des-
I troyed. The City Manager stated that after the machine room and the Building Inspection and
Engineering Departments have been moved, the doors will be locked, and the carpenters will
be able to complete the work.
Report - Findings of committee to study low-income housing
Commissioner Anderson stated that the committee held its first meeting this morning.
She stated that the committee will try to make an inventory of available housing and arrive at
a maximum dollar amount for low-income housing. She also noted that the committee will meet
on Friday to interview an intern, who wi II help gather information for the study. Commissioner
Anderson stated that the committee will be better prepared to make a report in about two
weeks.

portion of East Grant Street lying east of South Willson Avenue and west of the old Milwaukee
Railroad right-of-way, between their respective properties. The City Manager recommended
that the Commission acknowledge receipt of the petition and set the public hearing date.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission acknowledge receipt of the petition for vacation of a portion of East Grant Street,
I as submitted by Kenneth J. and Lola I. Swenson, 1322 South Wi Ilson, and Phi I Schneider,

Request - permission to spearhead drive to solicit funds - American Red Cross
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request on behalf of the Five
Rivers Chapter of the American Red Cross for permission to spearhead a drive to solicit
funds for a pool blanket for the Bogert Pool. The City Manager recommended approval of the
request.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that it will take approximately two months to get the pool
cover once it is ordered. She asked how long the drive to solicit funds will be, and if the I
City could order the pool cover now.
City Manager Evans noted that there may be a shortfall in the funds raised. He feels
that the pool cover could be ordered now.
Commissioner Mathre noted that figures suggest that approximately $4,000.00 in energy
costs could be saved in two months with use of a pool cover. She also noted that a pool
cover will cost approximately $13,000.00.
Mayor Stiff suggested that the City consider a $4,000.00 contribution toward the pool
cover.
