It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the Tentative Appropriation Ordinance be removed from the table and further discussed. The mo- tion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Mayor Stiff noted that information from Coopers and Lybrand on a management audit has been distributed to the Commission. He also noted that Coopers and Lybrand would conduct an Initial meeting at which they would outline their proposal and give a more definite estimate of cost. This meeting would be at no cost to the City. The Mayor noted that the proposed management study would be administrative/financial. The management study should consider what relationship each position has to the administration. Mr. Gray noted that the audit could be completed by October. The current estimate for this management study Is $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 plus out-of-pocket expenses, which would probably not exceed $1,000.00. Commissioner Anderson feels that the cost of a management study should not be taken from the allocation for a Director of Public Service (Works). She stated that If the manage- ment study Is completed by October, the removal of funds could detract from the position It- self. She noted that the Commission would need to review the budget and find the money to conduct such a management study. I Mayor Stiff noted that there Is a possibility that when the study Is completed, there may be changes that would improve efficiency and would make the creation of the position inappropriate. Commissioner Weaver stated that the City currently has a City Manager who has been in that position for less than 1 t years. During that time he has made many changes and foresees many more changes. Also, three Commissioners have six months' experience. He feels that a broad range study Is premature. The Commissioner does not feel that the Commission should duck the issue by contracting for a management study. Commissioner Anderson stated that she has seen too many studies done. She wants to be convinced that the money is being spent for something with tangible value, rather than creating one more study to review. Commissioner Vant Hull noted that, because of the relatively short time that the City Manager and three of the Commissioners have served, It might be a good time to conduct a management study and make recommended changes. Commissioner Weaver stated that the City currently does not have an adequate manage- ment structure. He also noted that additional human resources are needed. He further stated that several of the people he has talked to feel that the issues such as landfill rates and operation of the swimming pool have not had adequate management attention. Commissioner Weaver stated that he feels a management audit is a good Idea, but he feels that an adequate management structure should be in place prior to an audit. Commissioner Mathre stated that she Is not convinced that a study is necessary at this I time. She supports the idea of a management study in the future, possibly two years after the position of Director of Public Service (Works) is filled. It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the Commission adopt the Tentative Appropriation Ordinance. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Anderson and Commissioner Mathre; those voting No being Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Stiff. 08-09-82 1 ~,' ~' 4." I ..,I.,,~ . Request for curb cut - Mrs. Margaret M. Hausser - Kagy Boulevard City Manager Evans presented to the Commission the request for a curb cut on behalf of Mrs. Margaret M. Hausser, which had been continued from last week. The City Manager stated that the Highway Department Is currently negotiating for a right-of-way through the area and will take the necessary steps to provide access to the property If the City approves the curb cut. City Manager Evans recommended approval of the request. Mr. Dona Id Reichmuth, engineer for Mrs. Hausser, stated that the Highway Department I will not negotiate for the construction of an approach unless the curb cut is approved. He stated that the approval for a curb cut is the first step in the process. It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the Commission approve the request for a curb cut on behalf of Mrs. Margaret Hausser for access to her property located along Kagy Boulevard. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commis- sioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.

Plat - Valle Unit No. II City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request on behalf of Mr. Joe Sabol, I Attorney, for reconsideration of the request for extension of the Preliminary Plat for Valley Unit No. II Mobile Home Subdivision. The Commission had denied the request for extension at its regular meeting held on July 26, 1982 because no reason for the request was submitted. The City Manager stated that Mr. Sabol has since that time presented reasons and recommended that the Commission consider the request for reconsideration. Mr. Joe Sabol, Attorney for the developer, noted that in July 1981 the Preliminary Plat was conditionally approved by the City Commission and the County Commission. He noted that requests for a two-year extension were submitted to the City Commission and the County Com- mission in July 1982. The City Commission denied the request, and the County Commission granted a one-year extension to the Preliminary Plat approval. Mr. Sabol stated that the letter of denial for the extension revealed apparent mis- information. He noted that the Preliminary Plat for Valley Unit No. II has not existed. The Preliminary Plat that did lapse was for Valley Unit, Phases II, III and IV. He further noted that the proposed mobile home subdivision has always been set apart from the city limits. That situation has not altered. Mr. Sabol stated that the developer had originally Intended to request hookup to City water and sewer services. Thomas, Dean and Hoskins, Inc., the developer's consulting en- gineers, suggested that an on-site central sewer system be Installed. The plans reflect the central sewer system. Mr. Sabol also noted that the developer had stated a willingness to pay hookup charges and an additional fee for City services. However, the State statutes do does I not provide for charging of such fees. He stated that the developer has waited to see if the pOlley would change to allow hookup to City services. During the past year, very little has been done on the site. Until the Final Plat Is flied, the developer is not allowed to begin work on the site. To file the Final Plat, an Improvements Agreement must be signed. This has not been completed. Mr. Sabol stated that the Final Plat has been completed and Is ready for filing when the Improvements Agreement is signed. 08-09-82 115 City Manager Evans stated that currently no city In Montana has been authorized to charge a hookup fee for City water or sewer services. He noted that this authorization must come from the Public Service Commission. It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the Com- mission reconsider the request for extension of the Preliminary Plat for Valley Unit No. II Mobi Ie Home Subdivision at Its regular meeting to be held on August 16, 1982. The motion I carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. - American Le ion, Gallatin Post No. 14 - seekin City cooperation In removal of OUStng City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request on behalf of the American Legion, Gallatin Post No. 14, seeking City cooperation In the removal of the Legion Housing located on parkland at the corner of North Tracy Avenue and West Cottonwood Street. The City Manager stated that all units are vacant, and vandalism has been taking place In many of the units. He noted that it may be possible to reduce the costs of demolition if the Fire Department .were to burn some or all of the structures. Deputy Fire Chief Ed Welch stated that he has contacted the Sheriff's Department, and they have no objections to burning of the structures. He also contacted Helena about the air quality requirements. Open burning has been almost totally opened during the period from the end of April to the end of August. If the Fire Departments calls the day before the burn is to be done, they can receive Information about the weather conditions and air currents. Deputy Chief Welch also stated that the Gallatin Fire Council has requested that they be allowed to train in this exercise. He noted that these structures, particularly those with two stories, would be good for training. He stated that fi re wou Id bu rn the wood products and would leave the wiring, plumbing and foundations. I Commissioner Vant Hull asked If the existing trees and shrubs could be saved with a controlled burn. Deputy Fire Chief Welch stated that those shrubs and trees near the buildings probably couldn't be saved. Those which are a distance from the buildings could probably be saved with the use of water. Commissioner Anderson asked If the $5,000.00 which the American Legion Is required to pay for demolition, as set forth in the original agreement, would cover the costs for removal of the rubble If the buildings were burned. Assistant City Manager Barrick stated that the $5,000.00 should almost cover the re- moval of the rubble. Commissioner Vant Hull asked how long It would take the American Legion to salvage the good Items and prepare the buildings for the Fire Department. Mr. Bob Dixon, American Legion, stated that volunteers are presently removing the good stoves and hot water heaters. He stated that no firm bid for demolition has been re- ceived because the request for waiving of the landfill fees has not yet been considered by the Commission. Mr. Ted Koterwas, 624 North Tracy, noted that the American Legion apparently does not have the money to demolish the nine structures the way they should be. Mr. Koterwas stated that residents of the neighborhood want the buildings removed. He stated that the residents are willing to have the buildings burned, if the American Legion or the City will accept the liability for fire damage or smoke damage or odors, If they last for an extended I period of time. Mr. Koterwas stated that the residents In the neighborhood request that the buildings closest to other residences be demolished or pulled to an area further away before being burned. Mr. Koterwas also proposed that the American Legion consider the possibility of digging a hole and burying the concrete blocks, bricks and ashes. A mound could be formed, with a northeast exposure, and be used in the winter for sliding. He noted that groundwater con- tamination would need to be considered in this proposal. 08-09-82 118 Commissioner Mathre asked If smoke damage could be a problem In the area. Deputy Fire Chief Welch stated that smoke odors could be an Immediate problem, but he does not foresee any permanent damage. City Manager Evans stated that If the City were to burn the structures, the American Legion should get an Insurance policy to cover possible smoke damage in the area. He does not feel that the City should accept the liability for possible damage. City Attorney Planalp stated that the American Legion is requesting a waiver of landfill I fees for the demolition materials. He also stated that the City should maintain Its posture as landlord. He noted that the more the City participates In the removal of the housing, the fuzzier the lines become. He does not want to confuse lines that have been adhered to until now. The City Attorney noted that confusion of responsibility could lead to confusion of lia- bility in the case of possible damage. Commissioner Mathre suggested that the City consider possibly demolishing those struc- tures close to other residences and burning the Interior structures. She supported the waiving of the landfill fee. Commissioner Weaver stated that he wants to set a nominal fee for use of the landfill for demolition material. This would clearly show that the City Is providing a service for a consid- eration and would keep the role of the City separate from that of the American Legion. It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Commission assess a $100.00 one-time landfill fee to the American Legion, to be effective through August 31, 1982, for dumping of the rubble from the Legion Housing located at the corner of North Tracy Avenue and West Cottonwood Street. 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. It was then moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the Commission instruct the staff to review the matter and make the necessary arrange- ments to facilitate the burning of those buildings for which It is deemed safe to do so and to make other provisions for removal of the remainder of the structures, with proper Insurance I for burning of any structures to be supplied by the American Legion. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.

It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the Commission approve the request for a sign variance on behalf of Jones and Company, Ltd., to place a wood sign at 27 East Main Street.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, ESTABLISHING AN APPLICATION FEE AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES FOR ALL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BOND ISSUES PRESENTED TO THE CITY COMMISSION FOR APPROVAL. City Attorney Planalp feels that the last paragraph In Section 2 is unnecessarily binding on the administration. He noted that this Is a policy statement and will provide a guide for the Commission when considering bond issues. This Commission Resolution should recognize that all costs associated with the Issuance and review of the bonds shall be directed to the General Fund, and the balance of funds after the close-out of the bond issue shall be placed In a Capital Improvement Fund. The City Attorney also stated that he feels the sliding scale of administrative fees Is not too high. He stated that the Commission may consider the fees when considering the total I bond Issue. If the fee seems too high, the Commission may lower it at that time. City At- torney Planalp also noted that with a large issue the City may incur large costs, i.e., costs Incurred by professionals spending time In research on the matter. City Attorney Plana Ip suggested that the following change be made: Remove: "Said monies shall be deposited in the following manner: $500 Into the General Fund; balance Into the Capital Improvement Fund." Replace with: "Sald monies shall be deposited In the following manner: From time to time the monies so received shall be used to reimburse the General Fund for all costs associated with the issuance and periodic reviews of the issue, and the balance of the monies will be retained in the Capital Improvement Fund." Mayor Stiff instructed the Staff to make the necessary changes and to bring the Com- mission Resolution back In final form next week for action by the Commission.

The garden site would be 64 feet wide and 300 feet long, with 30 plots of 600 square feet each. These lots would be rented for $20.00 per year. Commissioner Anderson noted that residents in the area have suggested a two-year trial period for this program. Also, she suggested that a flower border be placed around the end near Mason Street to screen the gardens. Mr. Hehn stated that If the gardens are not successful In the first year, he would recommend that the site be seeded with grass. He also noted that the benefits of family gardening are largely recreational and would be justifiable on undeveloped parkland. 08-09-82 liE Mr. Hehn suggested that the Water Division Install a water line and the Park Division be responsible for preparation of the ground and placement of an above-ground irrigation line. He further suggested that the Recreation Division be responsible for renting the lots and col- lecting the monies.
