Decision - Zone Map Change - Rea and Scoffield - R-3 to R-O, Lot 58 of Amended Subdivision
Plat of Lot 5, Block 4, Kirk's Second SuDalvlslon TNW quaarant of West Beall and North 15th)
This was the time and place set for a decision on a request on behalf of Rea and
Scoffleld for a Zone Map Change from R-3 to R-O for Lot 5B of Amended Subdivision Plat of
Lot 5, Block 4, Kirk's Second Subdivision, more commonly known as the northwest corner of
West Beall Street and North Fifteenth Avenue. City Manager Evans recommended approval of
the request.
Commissioner Mathre noted that the Staff Report addresses the possibility of spot
zoning. She noted that the proposed zoning is not in conflict with the comprehensive zoning
plan. However, the fact that covenants have been applied to the property indicates that not
all of the uses allowed in the R-O zone are compatible with the area. She also noted that the
City has no authority to uphold the restrictive covenants established for this parcel. I
Commissioner Mathre feels that this is a small parcel being singled out for special treatment.
She also noted that this rezoning will place another R-O parcel in a predominantly R-3 zone.
She stated that she feels that there are sufficient R-O zones to meet the needs of the
community.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that the neighbors feel that the proposed use is better
than the use presently located on this site.
City Attorney Planalp asked if more than 25 percent of the property owners located in
the immediate vicinity of the site have submitted opposition to the zone change.
Assistant City Manager Barrick stated that no opposition has been received.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
request on behalf of Rea and Scoffield for a Zone Map Change from R-3 to R-O for Lot 5B of
Amended Subdivision Plat of Lot 5, Block 4, Kirk's Second Subdivision, more commonly known
as the northwest corner of West Beall Street and North Fifteenth Avenue, be approved. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and Mayor Stiff; those voting No
being Commissioner Mathre.

floor of North Hedges for waiver of the open container ordinance in Cooper Park on October 15,
10-12-82
2_. ;
1982, from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The City Manager noted that this request had been pre-
sented at last week's meeting but had been deferred for a period of one week to allow an op-
portunity to speak with the group requesting the waiver. He noted that one of the main con-
cerns is that there are no restroom facilities at Cooper Park, and the waiver is requested for
the hours of 4:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Mr. Ron Taylor, representing the second floor of North Hedges, stated that their
group is planning a road rally to be held on October 15, 1982, with the termination point at I
Cooper Park. He stated that the participants in the rally will be at the park for approximate-
ly 40 to 80 minutes while the race is completed, the winners are determined and the trophies
a re distributed. Mr. Taylor also noted that no alcoholic beverages will be consumed prior to
the race, or the pa rticipant wi II be disqualified. He further noted that the extended period
of time requested on the waiver is for those involved in setting up the race and determining
winners in the event that they may have a beer while working.
Mr. Taylor also stated that the rally group would be willing to accept the waiver of
the open container for another park but would prefer not to move the entire group for such a
short period of time.
Commissioner Weaver asked if the restroom facilities at Bogert Park would be open.
City Manager Evans stated that the only open restroom facilities are located at Lindley
Park and Kirk Park.
The City Manager recommended that the Commission approve the request for waiver of
the open container ordinance for Cooper Park because the activity will not be in the park for
an extended period of time.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson. seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
waiver of the open container ordinance requested by the residents of the second floor of
North Hedges, Montana State University, for the completion of a road rally to be held in
Cooper Pa rk on October 15, 1982, between the hou rs of 4: 30 p. m. and 8: 00 p. m., be approved
because of the short duration involved. The motion carried by the following Aye and No
vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner I
Weaver. Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
Request - extension of temporary location of Rainbow Auto Sales at 2514 West Main for one year
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request for extension of the temporary
location of Rainbow Auto Sales at 2514 West Main Street for one year. The City Manager
noted that approval for the temporary location of Rainbow Auto Sales had been granted on
August 5, 1981, for a one-year period. That time has now elapsed; and Mr. Gene Cook,
current owner of the property, is requesting an additional one-year extension to September
10, 1983. The City Manager concurred in the Planning Staff's recommendation that an extension
be granted to August 1, 1983.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that Mr. Cook has several outstanding delinquent Special
Improvement District payments and asked if approval or disapproval of this request could be
establ ished on that basis.
City Attorney Planalp noted that in this case, one process would be held until per-
formance of another obligation has been fulfilled. He further noted that it would be difficult
to base a decision on that criteria. The City Attorney further noted that if a decision is
made on that basis in this case, the same criteria would have to be used for all other similar
requests.
Commissioner Mathre stated that the Commission has adopted a Resolution providing
that if a Special Improvement District becomes delinquent. the entire outstanding amount may I
be called due and payable immediately, with penalties and interest accruing on the entire
outstanding amount.
Commissioner Weaver expressed concern about linking two separate Items in dealing
with one specific request.
Mayor Stiff noted that delinquent Special Improvement District payments have become a
problem for the City and supported Commissioner Vant Hull's suggestion.
10-12-82

City Manager Evans noted that linking two separate items on this matter could be self-
defeating. He reminded the Commission that the City is currently negotiating with Mr. Cook
on other matters that might be defeated by such action. He also reminded the Commission of
the newly-established policy for delinquent Special Improvement District payments.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the re-
quest for an extension of the temporary location of Rainbow Auto Sales at 2514 West Main for
I a one-year period, ending on August 1, 1983, be approved. The motion 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.
Request - exemption from landfill fees - Worthy Cause Store
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission on behalf of the Worthy Cause Store
a request for exemption from landfill fees. The City Manager noted that the Worthy Cause
Store performs a worthwhile function to the community, and they operate on a very limited
budget. However, he is concerned that other organizations will also request a waiver of the
landfill fees, and the Commission wi II be required to make judgment calls. The City Manager
stated that he would hesitantly recommend an exemption of the landfill fees for the Worthy
Cause Store.
Commissioner Mathre asked if the Worthy Cause Store has had garbage collection ser-
vice in the past.
Ms. Susan Ault, Manager of the Worthy Cause Store, stated that she has taken a
pickup load to the dump per week. Until July of this year, she used a dump permit for the
garbage disposal. Ms. Ault stated that she has been billed at the rate of $4.50 per week
since the first of July but has not yet paid the bill.
Mayor Stiff noted that the Salvation Army accepts donated items also. He asked If any
other organizations accept donated items for resale.
I Ms. Ault stated that she does not know of any other organizations that accept donated
items.
Mayor Stiff suggested that the motion include conditions that would set the criteria for
those organizations which are exempt from the landfill fees.
City Manager Evans recommended that the Commission consider a year-to-year waiver
of the landfill fees so that the matter may be reviewed.
Assistant City Manager Barrick stated that Sanitation Superintendent Gee has stated
that the waiving of the landfill fees would have no significant impact on the landfill.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission approve the request for an exemption from landfill fees for the Worthy Cause
Store for the one-year period beginning July 1, 1982 and ending June 30, 1983, and that all
requests for exemption of the landfill fees meet the following criteria:
1. That the request be submitted by a nonprofit organization;
2. That the organization is providing a community service that, if not provided
by that organization, would fall directly on the governmental entity to
perform;
3. That the costs of landfill fees that are waived do not exceed the social gain
or benefit provided the community; and
4. That the organization is one which continues year after year and is in no way
temporary in nature.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
I Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and Mayor
Stiff; those voting No, none.
Discussion. - application for monies for housing rehabilitation assistance for low- and moderate-
income rental housing
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission the possibility of the City filing an
application for monies for housing rehabilitation assistance for low- and moderate-income rental

housing. The City Manager noted that a local architect has requested that the City consider
applying for a grant, as only governmental entities may apply. The City Manager feels that
the grant would have some potential and noted that it would be compatible with the review of
low-income housing in Bozeman which is being done.
Mr. Dave Leavengood, Architect, stated that the Section 8 program is for rehabilitation
of existing structures. He stated that four structures in Livingston are currently being re-
habilitated into living structures under this program. Mr. Leavengood noted that between I
twenty and forty units of Section 8 rehabilitation which have been allocated to various towns
in Montana may be returned for reallocation in the near future. Mr. Leavengood requested
that the City consider applying for forty units of the Section 8 monies for rehabilitation of
living units in Bozeman for the elderly. Mr. Leavengood then showed slides of the structures
that are being rehabilitated in Livingston.
Mr. Leavengood stated that he has identified a building in the central business district
of Bozeman which he feels could be rehabilitated with 40 units of Section 8 monies. He noted
that normally commercial financing would be used if the program is deemed financially viable.
Mr. Leavengood also stated that the rent on the units would then be subsidized. He noted
that the project could be developed for the elderly, for families, or for a combination of the
two.
Mr. Leavengood stated that the City would incur administrative costs in this project.
The State will pay $250.00 per unit for those administrative costs. This is a one-time fee.
Commissioner Weaver asked who would pay the subsidy for these units.
Mr. Ed Stern, Community Director in Livingston, stated that the tenants pay 25 to 30
percent of the fair market value of the rental unit directly to the landlord. The balance of
the rent Is paid to the landlord by the federal government on a monthly basis.
Mr. Leavengood also noted that a onetime advertising cost would be incurred by the
City for the project. He noted that bids would be submitted to and evaluated by the Commis-
sion.
Mr. Ed Stern stated that the City applies for the grant and covers the administration I
through the rehabilitation. However, the main contract is between the owner and the federal
government, with the City acting as the pass-through. Mr. Stern also noted that the City is
involved because it can most easily coordinate the program with the needs of that community.
Mr. Stern stated that the City is also responsible for inspection of the rehabilitation work and
making sure that the contractor is meeting all of the requirements of the contract. When the
project is completed, the State reviews the work and approves it. The City is then through
with its responsibllity, and the contract is between the owner of the project and the federal
and state governments.
Planning Director John Moss has spoken with Mr. Pederson in Helena. He stated that
the City would be reimbursed for the staff time involved in the project. The Planning Director
noted that it would require two to three weeks of one man's time initially and up to one-fourth
of a man's time during the term of the project. Planning Director Moss noted that to add this
type of project to the Planning Staff at this time would require reshuffling of work com-
mitments and a possible hiring of a part-time person.
City Manager Evans recommended that, if Planning Director Moss will assume the ad-
ministration of the program, the City proceed with an application for Section 8 funds for re-
habilitation.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that
the Commission authorize and direct Planning Director Moss to prepare a proposal for a Section
8 Housing Rehabilitation Assistance Grant. The motion carried by the following Aye and No
vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner I
Mathre, Commissioner Weaver and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
Authorization to proceed with water line replacement - approximate cost of $30,000.00 (budgeted
Iteml
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request for authorization to proceed
with water line replacement at an approximate cost of $30,000.00. The City Manager noted
10-12-82
215
that $20,000.00 has been budgeted for the replacement of this line, which Is the transmission
line from the Lyman Creek Reservoir.
Water Superintendent Strang stated that it is Imperative that this line be replaced and
recommended that the Commission authorize the consulting engineers to prepare specifications
for bidding of the project. The Water Superintendent noted that one of the lines has been
ruptured since Spring 1981; however, there was no money in the budget to repair the line.
I He also stated that the City does not have the equipment to handle the large lines nor to dig
deep enough to bury the lines.
City Manager Evans noted that there is sufficient flexibility In the Water Enterprise
Fund to pay the additional costs above the budgeted amount. He also noted that the City
needs to complete construction of the 3D-inch transmission line along Sourdough Road. He
noted that if both of the current old lines were to rupture, the city would be without water.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission authorize and direct the City Staff to proceed with the necessary steps for the
water line replacement from Lyman Creek Reservoir. The motion carried by the following Aye
and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commis-
sioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
Report on Mystic Lake Dam
City Manager Evans stated that Northern Testing Laboratories have recorded a slight
movement in the dam. They do not know If the total slide moved or if just the area around
the pipe in the dam has moved. Northern Testing Laboratories will complete another series of
research efforts to determine whether or not the area is stable enough to repair the dam.
The City Manager noted that the City does not have any monies available for further studies
and suggested that the City pursue any possible means of getting monies from the State for
further testing. He also noted that a meeting of the Bozeman Creek Reservoir Association
should be held to determine what the shareholders wish to do.
I City Engineer Van't Hul stated that the slope inclinometer installed by Northern
Testing Laboratories showed a slight movement between 104 and 108 feet below the surface.
He stated that this could be an adjustment of the slide. He does not feel that this wllJ create
a large problem, but it could. He noted that if the slide were a critical one that indicated
that the entire slide is still moving, the dam would have been destroyed years ago.
The City Engineer stated that the Department of Natural Resources is continuing the
independent survey of the area and review of the report submitted by Christian, Spring,
Slelbach and Associates. The men hope to have the review process completed by November 1,
1982.
City Engineer Van't Hul stated that the estimated costs for further studies of the
movement will cost approximately $29,069.50. He noted that it is important from a safety
standpoint to determine if the detected movement is local or Is part of a mass movement.
City Manager Evans suggested that the Commissioners speak with the local Legislators
about any possible available monies to complete the study. He a I so noted that $60,000.00 of
State monies have been invested in studies on the feasibility of repairing the dam to date.
City Engineer Van't Hul noted that approval of a grant for further study will be ap-
proved through the Governor's Office.
Mayor Stiff instructed the Staff to prepare a letter requesting grant monies for further
study of the ground activities around the slide to the Governor's Office, with copies to be
sent to each of the Legislators and legislative candidates, to be brought to the meeting next
week for review and signature by each and every Commissioner.
I Authorize Call for Bids - Schedule I, Sanitary Sewer Improvements (EPA)
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request for authorization to call for
bids for construction of Schedule I of the Sanitary Sewer Improvements. The City Manager
noted that the sanitary sewer line will cross the Burlington Northern Railroad right of way,
and the City has received approval for this crossing. He further noted that this is a portion
of the EPA project. If the bids are not awarded by the November 1, 1982 deadline, the City
will lose the 75 percent matching funds from EPA for construction of this line.

It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the
Commission authorize the Call for Bids for Schedule I of the Sanitary Sewer Improvements to
be covered under the EPA projects and that the bid opening date be set for November 1,
1982. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being

and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
Review of draft letter re low-income housing; report on number of applications received for I
Committee
City Manager Evans stated that six applications have been received for the serving on
the Citizens' Committee to Study Low-Income Housing. He noted that three or four applications
are currently outstanding. The deadline for filing of applications is October 25, 1982.
Commissioner Anderson presented to the Commission the draft letter which she had
been requested to prepare. She noted that the letter is basically a position paper which
provides a chronological list of events dealing with low-income housing matters.
Ms. Marcia Youngman, member of the Bozeman Fair Housing Coalition, stated that their
appl icatlon to the Youth Project Foundation is their first request for funding. She also noted
that they have been established as a membership organization.
Mayor Stiff noted concern that the City and the Bozeman Fair Housing Coalition may be
establishing two entities that would be in competition, yet attempting to accomplish the same
goal. He noted that not many applications have been received for the City's committee. The
Mayor also noted that if the City desires to file an application for Community Development
Block Grant Funds, that application should be completed within the next four to five months.
Commissioner Anderson stated that the Bozeman Fair Housing Coalition is an advocacy
group; while the Citizens' Committee would be attempting to deal with the City's lack of low-
income housing possibly through an enforceable Uniform Housing Code.
Ms. Youngman noted that the Coalition should be represented on the Citizens' Committee;
however, she feels that the Coalition can move forward faster than the City's committee. She I
also feels that the City should be represented in the Coalition.
Commissioner Vant Hull supports the formation of two separate committees because she
feels that they can work in the same areas on some items but need to go their separate ways
on other items.
Commissioner Anderson asked if she should send the letter as a Commissioner, if the
Commission as an entire group should send the letter, or if she should send the letter per-
sonally.
Commissioner Weaver noted that the Commission is being asked to endorse the Coalition.
He is reluctant to take such a step until an advisory committee has been formed by the Com-
mission and makes a recommendation on whether such action should be taken.
Ms. Youngman noted that monies are available for low-income groups that are not
available for the City. She also noted that it is important for low- and moderate-income
people to work together to help solve the housing problems.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
the letter, as drafted by Commissioner Anderson, be approved and sent from the entire Com-
mission.. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Com-
missioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Mathre and Commissioner Anderson; those voting No being
Commissioner Weaver and Mayor Stiff.
Commission Resolution No. 2431 - Mill Levy Resolution
City Manager Evans presented Commission Resolution No. 2431, entitled: I
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2431
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, ESTABLISHING AND AFFIXING THE NUMBER OF MILLS TO BE
CHARGED AGAINST THE ASSESSED VALUATION OF ALL TAXABLE
PROPERTY SITUATED WITHIN THE CORPORATE JURISDICTIONAL
BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY FOR FISCAL YEAR 1982-1983.
10-12-82
217
City Manager Evans stated that the proposed Resolution sets a total mill levy of 104.89
mills, or 1.22 mills more than was proposed in the City Manager's Estimate of Expenditures
and Revenues, which was prepared in May. The City Manager also noted that the taxable
valuation dropped 8.81 percent from last year's valuation and is lower than the taxable
valuation was two years ago. The drop in valuation is due primarily to the adjustment in the
licensing of vehicles and the 12 percent rollback in commercial property valuations. The City
I Manager stated that the Commission could pass the Resolution today or could consider it for a
period of one week prior to passage and submission to the County Assessor's Office to be
placed on the tax rolls.
City Manager Evans also noted that the County Assessor's Office has submitted a cer-
tified mill levy of 111.11 mills, so the City is well within the possible mill levy taxation.
Commissioner Weaver noted that, even though the mill levy has increased from 96.51
mills last year to the proposed 104.89 mills this year, the total income from the property
taxes will be approximately $20,000.00 less than last year.
City Manager Evans noted that the income from the property tax has remained almost
constant for the past three years. However, use of Revenue Sharing Funds has supplemented
the budget. The City Manager noted that the Commission should be aware of the possibility
that the Revenue Sharing program may end after September 30, 1983.
Mayor Stiff asked If the City Manager had considered reducing the budget rather than
increasing the mill levy.
The City Manager stated that he had considered reducing the budget, but did not
know where to cut it.
Commissioner Weaver noted that the lack of increase in property tax dollars shows that
the City is dealing with Inflation very well.
Mayor Stiff requested that the Resolution be placed on next week's agenda for further
consideration and action.
