summarized the plans for the development of that park. He emphasized that the group was
I concerned with getting the project accomplished this fall so that the seeding would get the
full benefit of the spring moisture.
Commissioner Anderson questioned whether the use of City equipment could be used in
the development of this park since it was in fact a City park. She inquired of City Attorney

Continued discussion - donation of City time and equipment re Van Winkle Stadium renovation
(sewer and water connections)
Mr. Lowell Springer, on behalf of the Hawk Booster Club, addressed the Commission
and summarized the things that need to be done In the renovation of the Van Winkle Stadium.
He stated that Don Strang had looked into the water service and sewer line and estimated
that it would take approximately $2,200 In labor and $526 in material to complete them. He
stated they plan to strip back the sod from the field and place and spread approximately 500 I
yards of sand before replacing the sod.
Mayor Stiff inquired of Mr. Springer as to what amount of the labor and material the
Boosters expect the City to donate. Mr. Springer replied that they were hoping for the City
to donate the total materials and one-third of the labor.
Commissioner Vant Hull questioned Mr. Springer as to the price of the sand. Mr.
Springer responded that 500 yards of good quality sand would cost approximately $3,000.
Commissioner Anderson inquired of Attorney Planalp as to what type of liability the
City would assume If City equipment Is used. City Attorney Planalp answered that the City
needs to tie down specifically what happens if the operating machinery breaks down. He
pointed out that the machinery is part of the sewer and water divisions, which are not
necessarily governmental functions but proprietary functions. He added that the Commission
needs to decide who should be responsible for that type of liability. He pointed out that the
Commission should also decide whether the proprietary funds should be compensated by the
general fund, not by anyone, or by the Club. Mr. Planalp stressed that it should be
decided where the risk of loss lies, with the Commission or with the person who Is using the
equipment.
Commissioner Anderson asked If there have been any precedents set in the past. City
Attorney Planalp replied that the soft ball complex had been developed with the use of City
equipment but that he knew of no other time City equipment has been used for a non- City
function.
Mr. Springer informed the Commission that the project would tie up the use of a front- I
end loader and trucks for approximately five to six hours.
Commissioner Anderson inquired whether the Boosters would assume the responsibility
of damage insurance to cover the City equipment to be used.
City Attorney Planalp suggested that perhaps a rider could be applied to the Boosters'
Insurance policy to cover that liability.
Mr. Springer stated that he believes the Boosters do have a liability policy which
covers any type activity undertaken by the Club. He stated that when the track was redone,
the City had gone through this same procedure.
Commissioner Weaver questioned whether the Booster Club feels comfortable assuming
the responsibility for liability Insurance. Mr. Springer replied that it did, with the exception
of ordinary breakdown of the equipment.
City Attorney Planalp stated that he was concerned only with damages that may occur
In the case of misuse, perhaps a chipped blade or if an engine burns out.
City Manager Evans stated that he does not feel the City should expend any monies
for supplies or labor. He stated the work could be done by a City employee volunteering his
own time. He noted that there Is no money In the budget for projects of this type.
Mr. Springer stated they had requested help from the City In the renovation of this
field since it is used occasionally for City programs.
Commissioner Weaver asked Mr. Springer If the Boosters are expecting the City to
contribute the sand. Mr. Springer responded that the Boosters were hoping that the City
would supply the sand, all materials and labor for the sewer and water service, or any port- I
ion thereof. He stated that the total cost of the project is estimated will be between $179,000
and $198,000, so the vast majority of the funds are being provided by the Booster Club. He
added that the Club will also desire the use of a backhoe when installing the sewer and water
service.
Commissioner Vant Hull questioned Mr. Springer whether the project is 100 percent
"green go" or If it is still in the planning stage. Mr. Springer responded that as far as the
09-20-82
165
Boosters are concerned, now is the time for the project to be accomplished. He stated that
with two different schools and two different programs using the same field, It Is anticipated
that conflicts will be occurring in the future schedule of the field. He stated that the school
district has not given the Club a go ahead.
Commissioner Anderson asked Mr. Springer if the City does not supply the sand, If
the Club has other resources to obtain it. Mr. Springer replied in the affirmative.
I Mr. Joe McKethen, Athletics Director at the High School, informed the Commission that
help is needed In renovating Van Winkle Stadium. He stated that the school does not have
the availability of trucks, tractors, etc.
Commissioner Weaver asked City Manager Evans if he would be troubled by the use of
City equipment by a City employee at no cost to the City so long as some other party assumes
the cost of all aspects of liability.
City Manager Evans replied that he was concerned only about non-ordinary breakdowns
and the donation of materials.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that it should be noted also that the equipment should
be used for the project only at times that it is not needed for City projects.
Mayor Stiff noted that It might be inappropriate to charge the Club if a engine were to
burn out.
City Manager Evans stated that he was only concerned about liability for an accident
or personal injury. He stated that he is confident of the capability of the City operator. He
stated he Is not concerned with ordinary wear and tear. He stated that if a engine were to
burn out when the machinery is being operated at the proposed project site, it would have
burned out whether being used there or on City time. He added that there is a gray area
between normal wear and tear and an irresponsible act.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that if a
qualified City employee volunteers to do the labor on his own time, authorization will be given
for the use of City equipment during times that such equipment is not needed by the City
I staff and that all liablJlty for damages and personal Injury will be assumed by the Booster
Club, with the understanding that no donation of any type material will be made by the City.
The motion carried with the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver, and Commissioner Vant Hull; those
voting No, Mayor Stiff.
Authorize Mayor to sign - contracts with Con'eer Engineering, Inc. - for retrofit of Swim
Center
City Manager Evans noted to the Commission that the necessary revisions had been
made to the Con1eer Engineering contracts and asked that the Commission authorize the Mayor
to sign them.
Commissioner Mathre questioned City Attorney Planalp whether Con'eer Engineering had
any liability since the $50,000 liablJity clause had been deleted from the original contract.
City Attorney Planalp answered that since the $50,000 clause had been stricken, that Con'eer
Engineering now has unlimited liability.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the
Mayor be authorized to sign the revised contracts with Con'eer Engineering for the retro-
fitting of the Swim Center. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those
voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull, Com-
missioner Anderson and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
I Staff report - status of removal of the American Legion housing bulJdings
City Manager Evans stated that he had driven by the site of the American Legion
housing buildings on the previous Friday evening and had noted that two buildings had been
demolished. He added that the successful contractor had furnished the City with the re-
quired bond for the demolition.
Bob Dixon, representing the American Legion, informed the Commission that he had
been out of town for the past two weeks. He stated that upon his return he had been in-

formed that the bid had been let and that the successful bidder had secured all bonds and
permits and was to proceed with the work. He stated that upon his inspection of the site, it
was apparent that someone had been knocking down buildings.
Commissioner Weaver inquired when the demolition would be completed.
Val Dietz, representing American Legion, stated that the contract calls for the demoli-
tion to be completed In 30 days.
Mr. Dixon informed the Commission that the legion was uncertain where the money will I
come from to pay for the demolition. He stated the legion only has $5,000 set aside for the
demolition and the accepted bid is for over $14,000. He stated that the legion could possibly
borrow the money from a ban k to pay the contractor. He stated this project does have the
support of the organization and the contractor will get paid. He questioned the possibility of
Block Grant money being alloted for demolition.
City Manager Evans informed the Commission that the Block Grant money is all gone
and the Grant is closed out.
Ted Koterwas, 624 North Tracy, addressed the Commission and inquired whether any
direction had been given to the contractor demolishing the legion buildings as far as saving
trees. Mr. Dixon answered that nothing is in the contract concerning the saving of the
shrubbery. He stated however that the contractor had verbally agreed to make every effort
possible to save the trees and shrubs. He noted that in some cases the Iliac bushes have
grown so close to the buildings that it Is Impossible to demolish the buildings without harming
the bushes. He stated he did note that it looks as if the contractor is making an honest
effort to save the shrubbery.
Mayor Stiff questioned whether it might be appropriate If a City employee were to visit
the contractor at the demolition site and suggest that an effort be made to save the shrubbery.
City Attorney Planalp suggested that the City wants to stay out of this situation as
much as possible. He stated that if an effort to save the trees are made, it could Increase
the cost of the project. He stated that a suggestion by the City to save the trees could
imply that the City should participate in the funding. I
City Manager Evans stated that he was In agreement with City Attorney Planalp regard-
Ing this matter.
Staff report - status of Mystic lake Dam
City Manager Evans stated that on the previous Wednesday he had viewed aT. V. scan
of the outlet pipe at Mystic lake Dam, which showing had been attended by a large number
of people, including the U.S. Forest Service, Christian, Spring and Slelbach and City
employees. He stated that the viewing had been enlightening; that it had shown the large
volume of water that comes into the dam. He stated that the pipe itself Is quite pitted and
that the joints look as If they could go at any time. He stated that all three engineers
present testified that the dam was a hazard. As a result of the T. V. viewing, It was the
intention of the water users association to have a special meeting on October 1. He stated
that a due legal notice of 10 days is required to be mailed for vote of this magnitude to take
place to breach the dam. He stated that after the meeting, the water users association will
come before the Commission with a recommendation. The Commission should name a delegate
to the association meeting and Instruct the delegate how to vote the City shares. He stated
that hopefully by next Monday the City should have a fairly good estimate on the costs
involved. He estimated the costs would be between $3,000 and $10,000. He stated that the
City owns 10 shares. He informed the Commission that each shareholder will bear the cost in
relationship to the total number of shares.
Mayor Stiff questioned whether this project would be let out for bid. City Manager I
Evans answered that this would be the water users responsibility and not the City's.
Mayor Stiff asked the name of the company building the logging roads in the vicinity
of the dam.
Jim Moore, attorney representing the Bozeman Creek Reservoir Association, Informed
the Commission that Arco had been the successful bidder on the logging to be conducted in
the vicinity of Mystic lake Dam.

Commissioner Anderson questioned how long the project would take once the equipment
Is In place.
City Engineer Arthur Van1t Hul responded that the Forest Service and Bob Gemmell of
Christian, Spring and Slelbach, both agree that partial breaching is the best way of handling
the situation at this time. He stated that the breach would be cut 25 feet from the crest of
the dam, which would allow a one-to-one slope to be maintained on that side, with a possible
I three-to-one slope maintained on the other side. He said a small piece of fabric, a filter
fabric, would be placed at the end of the trench to filter the water going downstream. He
noted that the trench would essentially be flat. He stated that according to Garth Sime, a
local contractor, cutting the trench should take a little less than two days. He Informed the
Commission that S & K Construction is the construction firm building the logging roads In the
vicinity of the dam but that he had been unable to get In contact with them to date due to
the fact the crew is living In a mobile home placed at the Moser Creek site. He stated that
the labor for this breach is expected to be in the neighborhood of $3,000, with the cost of
material being $103. He stated that the Forest Service will be writing a letter to the City
giving the specific elevation to which they agree. He stated that if the Forest Service does
not go along with the partial breach, the cost will be twice as much.
Mr. Moore informed the Commission that once Mystic Lake Dam Is repaired, It will be
rebuilt to a greater height, which means additional water will be stored. He suggested that
the City should make application for this additional water.
City Manager Evans noted that this item will be on the Commission agenda next week
for further update.
City Manager's report - purchase of Chapman property, northwest corner of Rouse and Lamme
City Manager Evans Informed the Commission that the real estate transaction In the
purchase of the Ella M. Chapman property located at the northwest corner of Rouse and
Lamme had been closed at the negotiated price of $10,000 and that the City is now the owner
I of that property. He stated that American Land and Title Company were to record the deed
this day (Monday) and that a coPy of the deed and buy-sell wi II be forwarded to the City
after the deed Is recorded. He added that the City Attorney Is handling the matter of
eviction notice so that the property can be without tenants.
City Manager Evans stated that a notice of solicitation for salvage will be placed in the
media to determine If anyone is interested In the salvage of the existing structures on that
site. He added that he had discussed the matter of demolishing the existing structures with
Clinton Gee and Mr. Gee had informed him that it should take a crew not more than a couple
of hours to demolish the structures and haul away the debris.
Commissioner Vant Hull questioned whether the Fire Department could possibly burn
the structures as a practice burn. City Manager Evans informed her that a fire would harm
the surrounding trees.
Commissioner Vant Hull Inquired as to the size of the lot. Assistant Manager Barrick
stated that the lot was approximately 68' x 128.51.
Discussion - format for public hearings at evening session
City Manager Evans noted to the Commission that because of the agenda for the public
hearing items this evening, he thought It might be beneficial if some type of format is estab-
lished prior to the hearings.
Mayor Stiff questioned City Attorney Planalp if there is any limit to the number of
times a Chairman must call for input. City Attorney Planalp replied that there is no set
I number; that the number of calls is at the Commission's discretion. Attorney Planalp
suggested that It might speed testimony if no questions are asked by the Commission until the
proponents are heard in their entirety.
Commissioner Anderson stated that possibly a sign-up method to speak might help
avoid unnecessary repetition.
Commissioner Mathre asked if a person is not signed up to speak, if that person would
stili be allowed to speak. Mayor Stiff replied in the affirmative.

Mayor Stiff Inquired of City Attorney Planalp whether the public hearing can be legally

Planalp responded in the affirmative.
Mayor Stiff Instructed the Acting Clerk of the Commission to prepare sign-up sheets
for this evening's meeting for the proponents and opponents of the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital's

Commissioner Vant Hull Inquired that since the creek is located there. If a future
building could be constructed too close to the stream bank. Planning Director John Moss
responded that there would be no problem with this, as it would be taken care of under the
setback requirements.
City Manager Evans Informed the Commission that the recommendations of the City-
County Piannlng Director and City Engineer found no fault with the requested vacations.
I There was no one present to speak In opposition to the requested vacations.
Mayor Stiff closed the public hearing of this request. A decision will be forthcoming
in one week.
Public hearlnfi - request for vacation - Bozeman Deaconess Hospital - portions of West Beall
and North WI son; and development of off-street parking
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on behalf of Bozeman Deaconess
Hospital of the request for vacation of portions of West Beall and North Willson and develop-
ment of off-street parking.
Mr. Ed Dahlberg, representing Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, addressed the Commission
and presented the backg round information on the requested vacation. He stated that the
vacations of the streets are necessary for the planned expansion of the hospital. He stated
the planned expansion evolves from the State Public Health Department declaring the hospital
defective as relating to Medicare and Medicad programs. He stated that If the vacations are
denied, the hospital will have to seek an alternative site. Mr. Dahlberg stated that the
proposed expansion presents the most economical solution. He stated that the hospital had
hired a firm in Minneapolis to help in the physical plant evaluations. He stated that a survey
taken In Gallatin Valley had reflected that 49.9 percent of the persons interviewed indicated a
desire that the hospital remain at its present location. Mr. Dahlberg stated that it was the
consensus of the hospital that it would be best located In the proximity of the medical clinics
and offices.
I Mr. Dahlberg stated that In relation to expansion of the hospital to the east, the first
consideration of the hospital board was the distance created between the hospital and support
services. He added that it would also cause the nursing home operations to be located between
the hospital and support services. This would involve that central services pass through the
nursing home. Mr. Dahlberg pointed out that this would Increase time for transportation
services and would in turn require additional personnel. He noted that a lumber yard lies to
the south and pointed out that if the hospital were expanded in this direction, the lumber
yard would present a hazard In the terms of fire safety and heavy traffic.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that the hospital would object to and find issue with any plan to
develop North Willson into a main arterial next to a medical campus. He suggested that
Black, Grand or Tracy would make better thoroughfares as they all intersect with Tamarack,
whereas Willson deadends at Cottonwood.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that a street bridge Is not feasible and referred to a letter from
the president of Bi lIings Deaconess Hospital which listed the drawbacks of that hospital's
street bridge. He stated that an additional cost of $215,000 would be incurred for such a
bridge. He added that the bridge would also Increase staff travel time.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that a plan to elevate the hospital functions by one floor would
cost an additional $1.5 million.
Commissioner Vant Hull questioned if the hospital could be expanded to the east,
perhaps building in the street, which would cause the distance to be less. Mr. Dahlberg
replied that the problem of passing through the nursing home would stili have to be faced.
I Commissioner Anderson Inquired of Mr. Dahlberg whether any conceptual plan had
been made for expansion to the east. Mr. Dahlberg responded that the hospital had determined
that west was the only direction to expand in order to accomplish their goals and long term
plans.
Mayor Stiff questioned Mr. Dahlberg as to why no mention of the development of off-
street parking had been made thus far at this public hearing. Mr. Dahlberg replied that the
hospital had decided to break .the request into two separate issues. He stated that the
09-20-82
17'
hospital would wait until action has been taken on their request for vacation of Willson and
Beall before pursuing the development of off-street parking.
Commissioner Mathre questioned whether it would be feasible to build a passageway
underneath the street. Mr. Dahlberg responded that the utilities under the street have to be
tunneled and cannot be rerouted. He added that the ground water level would also have to
be taken Into account.
Commissioner Vant Hull stated that she did not feel enough details had been given as I
to why the hospital cannot expand to the east. Mr. Dahberg stated that any proposal for
expansion except to the west adds dollars to the construction costs. He stressed that any
additional funds spent on hospital expansion would detract from patient care facilities.
Mayor Stiff questioned whether the expansion could be constructed with only walkways
across Willson, with the c10su re of the streets foresta lied until the second or thl rd phase of
expansion is initiated. Mr. Dahlberg stated that he was strong on the position that the need
to know would require the streets be closed immediately.
Mayor Stiff asked City Attorney Planalp If the Commission could commit itself on a
definite date of closure to vacate the streets in the year 2000. City Attorney Planalp replied
that so long as State laws remain unchanged, that the Commission has the authority to close a
street.
Mr. Roger Craft, representing the Downtown Development Association, addressed the
Commission and presented a 300-signature petition which had been placed at various downtown
businesses. He expressed his support for the hospital expansion and closure of the streets.
Mr. Ted Koterwas, 624 North Tracy, addressed the Commission as a resident in the
vicinity and stated he has no objection to the proposed expansion and vacation of the streets.
Mr. Cory Dogterom, a member of the hospital's Board of Directors, addressed the
Com- mission and stated that if the streets are not closed there should at least be a reduced
traffic sign of 5 m. p. h. He stated that the Board has determined that expansion to the west
Is the most cost-effective plan for the citizens of Bozeman.
Commissioner Vant Hull Inquired about the possibility of expanding the hospital to the I
north and utilizing the Medical Arts Center as hospital facilities. The architect for the
hospital replied that the Medical Arts Center would require major remodeling in order to be
used for hospital facilities. It stated that the center would not easily convert to the
adaptation and would cause additional dollars to be spent.
Dr. Richard Ritter, chairman of the hospital's institutional planning committee,
addressed the Commission and stated that the hospital has only limited financial resources.
He stated that the hospital Is strapping themselves with the proposed project. He stated
there Is a limit as to how much money can be raised for construction purposes.
Mr. Bob Duntsch, a member of the hospital's Board of Directors, addressed the Com-
mission and informed the Commission that at one time, the Hillcrest vicinity was being
considered as an alternate site for the hospital. He stated that because of the unavailability
of sewer and water lines and access by roads the Hillcrest site was dismissed. He stated that
the proposed project Is contingent upon the closing of Willson. Mr. Duntsch stated that the
medical community is ready to support the expansion If the hospital remains at Its present
location.
Mr. Bill Walter addressed the Commission and presented a letter from Rev. John
Soderberg supporting the proposed expansion of the hospital. The letter was accepted by
the Acting Clerk of the Commission and is to be made a part of this record.
Mr. Jim Bangs, President of the Downtown Businessmen's Association, addressed the
Commission and expressed that association's support of the hospital's request.
Dr. Robert Towers addressed the Commission and stated that the present hospital Is at I
its limit as far as space is concerned. He stated that relocation of the hospital would require
that the entire facility be replaced rather than just two-thirds In the proposed plan, creating
an additional $8 million cost over 10 years, or $40 to $45 per patient per day.
Mr. Ralph W. Zimmer, representing the Bozeman Technical Advisory Committee (TAC),
addressed the Commission and Informed them that T AC had voted unanimously to oppose the
requested vacation of Willson and Beall. He stated that the Committee had decided that if the
09-20-82
171
streets were vacated, an alternate thoroughfare would have to be developed. Mr. Zimmer
stated that the hospital should pay for the costs of developing an alternate arterial, including
construction and right-of-way acquisitions. He stated that the closure of Beall would not
present nearly as much of a problem as closing Willson. Mr. Zimmer also questioned who
would pay for the required one-block paving of Villard Street.
Mr. Zimmer stated that Willson has long been designated to handle north-south traffic,
I particularly as traffic is increased on the northside when North 7th Is Improved. He pointed
out that alternative north-south routes, such as Grand and Tracy, are much narrower and
would have to be widened If used for a main arterial. He stated that If no alternative route
is developed, the traffic in residential neighborhoods will increase.
Commissioner Weaver questioned whether a north-south arterial Is needed at that
location as much of the traffic In that area probably goes to the hospital.
Commissioner Mathre questioned City Attorney Planalp whether the City could vacate
the proposed streets with the condition attached that should the hospital ever cease to exist
at that location, the request would be rescinded. City Attorney Planalp replied that it is not
always possible to go back to square one. He said he would research this matter if so re-
quested.
Mr. Dick Milledge addressed the Commission and stated he felt that any street closure
should receive serious thought and consideration.
When questioned as to how long the hospital expects to remain at its present location,
Mr. Dahlberg stated that the proposed plan calls for the eventual replacement of the hospital's
existing structures. He stated the hospital, under the proposed plan, would have sufficient
room for expansion to remain at its present site for at least 30 years. Mr. Dahlberg added
that the hospital would have an Investment of approximately $20 to $25 million Invested If the
expansion Is accomplished as proposed.
Commissioner Mathre questioned how long It would take the City staff to collect the
costs of developing an alternate street as an arterial. City Manager Evans responded that
I the costs could probably be gathered in one week; however, it would be necessary for this
public hearing to be continued for two weeks due to the schedule of public hearings on the
first and third weeks.
Mayor Stiff continued the public hearing for two weeks and instructed the City staff to
research and estimate the cost of an alternative traffic route to North Willson.

This was the time and place set for the public hearing on behalf of Joyce Rasmussen
for the Master Plan Amendment to change land use designation from Residential-Low Density
to light Industrial (Bohart Lane and L Street, east quadrant).

No one was present to speak In support of, or opposition to, the final adoption of
Commission Resolution 2410.
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a letter submitted by Mr. Joseph
Sabol, Attorney, which was hand delivered to City Hall at 3: 15 this date. The letter objected
to the assessments of Special Improvement Districts 621, 622, 623, 624, 625, 626, 627, 629
and 630. Mr. Evans indicated he desired the letter to be made a part of the record. He
I added that the City staff had worked in the interim since receiving the letter and were ready
to answer any questions concerning the objections.
City Manager Evans also distributed to the Commission waivers of protest signed by
Mr. and Mrs. Jahnke for the creation of Special I mprovement Districts 621, 622, 623, 624 and
625 and requested that they be made a pa rt of the record.
Commissioner Weaver inquired as to the allegation made by Mr. Sabol in his letter that
the City had no established formula to be used in determining the assessment of each lot or
parcel within said district, such formula to include but not be limited to the Items to be con-
sidered as set forth in 7-12-4161 through 7-12-4165, M.C.A.
City Attorney Planalp replied that apparently Mr. Sabol was miscontrulng that law, in
that it applys to off-street parking and not a Special Improvment District itself.
Commissioner Weaver questioned the allegation made by Mr. Sabol that the amount of
each partial payment to be made by the owner of record of each lot, tract, parcel or block
within the district was not set forth in, nor attached to any of the Resolutions for the above-
mentioned Special Improvement Districts.
Finance Di rector Amy Swan responded to the question, stating that Mr. Sabol was
correct In stating that the schedule attached to each resolution on August 30 was a summary
schedule. She stated that the summary schedule contained each property owner, description
of the lot, total amount of principal to be assessed over the life of the District and the total
life of the District. Ms. Swan stated that the reason the individual asssessment schedules
were not attached to the resolutions on August 30 was because of their voluminous existence.
I She stated that the assessment schedules consist of eight or nine Inches of computer printouts.
She stated that these schedules are on file in the City offices and are available for public
Inspection.
Finance Director Swan stated that she had contacted the nine or ten property owners
within the Valley Unit Subdivision and had informed them that full documentation was available
In her office. She stated she had not received any questions from anyone other than Mr.
Sabol on these Districts.
Commissioner Weaver questioned the staff In respect to the allegation that the
Commission had attempted to alter the number of installment payments from those previously
advertised, agreed upon and adopted by the resolution creating the District.
Director of Finance Swan replied that when these Districts were created in 1980, It was
assumed that the Districts would be finalized within one year after creation and thus the
bonds would be due on January 1, 1981. Ms. Swan stated the first bond payment was set up
for January 1, 1981. She stated that theoretically if the City had assessed these In 20
annual installments over a period of 19 years, the City would have been right on schedule.
She pointed out however that last year the Commission had deferred the Installments for one
year and the assessments had not been mailed to the taxpayers. Ms. Swan stated that any
money paid by the taxpayers had been refunded and no bonds had been called after January 1,
1981. She noted that this action threw the entire bond schedule off one year. She stated
that based upon discussions with representatives of D. A. Davidson, all the City has done is
adjusted the assessment schedule in accordance with the bond retirement schedule. She
I stated If the assessment schedules had not been adjusted, the City would be paying bonds off
a year before the final assessment is levied.
Commissioner Weaver questioned the staff regarding the assertion that in respect to
incidental expenses, since the adoption of the resolution, that no objectively verifiable,
itemized accounting of the costs and expenses connected with the above protested Special
I mprovement Districts has been submitted.
Finance Director Swan stated that it is true that the City has no actual hourly time
09-20-82
17<
sheets for the work involved In these Special Improvement Districts. She pointed out that
the direct allocation method of indirect costs is justifiable under accounting theory. Ms.
Swan added that theory states that historical practices are a justifiable method for deter-
mining indirect costs allocation and is common practice in Industry.
Commissioner Weaver queried If that answer would also speak for the assertion that an
Itemized breakdown of the City engineering costs, administrative fees and legal fees should be
suppl ied for review prior to the final adoption of the protested Special I mprovement Districts. I
Finance Director Swan replied in the affirmative. She stated that 100 percent accuracy
is theoretically impossible. She pointed out that these projects first came before the City In
May 1980. She added that these projects have consumed 28 months of City administrative time
and the districts are still not finalized and assessed.
Commissioner Weaver Inquired as to the protested item concerning the recomputation of
the Special Improvement District base, on what was referred to as miscalculation of the square
footage involved.
City Engineer Arthur Van't Hul responded that at the time a Special Improvement
District is put together, the figures used are based on a preliminary plat of the area. He
stated that the final figures are taken from the recorded plat, therefore, creating small
differences taking Into account that surveys never come o~t exactly 5,280 feet to a mile. He
stated the difference In these projects amounted to -1 of 1 percent. He pointed out that the
original Special Improvement Districts for this project were prepared by Mr. Sabol.
Commissioner Weaver questioned with respect to certified costs, why the $578,886.89
difference existed between the contracted bid price and the finalized costs.
City Engineer Van't Hul answered that the difference Is that between the bid price and
the finalized costs with engineering, administrative and publishing costs added.
Finance Director Swan stated that she would like to point out that while the Valley
Unit Special I mprovement Districts were created for a total of $4,525,000, the actual finalized
costs come to $3,698,278.
Finance Director Swan also noted that Mr. Jahnke was aware of the Clty's 6 percent I
surcharge for administrative costs when the Special I mprovement Districts were created and
had signed a waiver of any protest at that time. Ms. Swan noted that half of the 6 percent
surcharge Is deposited in the general fund to cover administrative costs and the remainder is
placed in the Special Improvement District revolving fund to protect the City from nonpayment
of Special I mprovement District assessments.
City Manager Evans stated that the staff feels the objections made by Mr. Sabol are
irrelevant and of an insignificant nature. Mr. Evans stated at this point he feels the the
City must proceed with the special assessments.
Mayor Stiff closed the public hearing. A decision will be forthcoming in one week.
