Discussion - protest of SI D's - Walter and Gretchen Woodhull, 1915 West College
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a letter of complaint received from
Walter and Gretchen Woodhull, 1915 West College, regarding SID's assessed against their proper-
ty in Mountain Vista Subdivision.
Commissioner Weaver noted that he had received an inquiry from the Woodhulls on January
10, 1983, expressing concern with the status of Special Improvement Districts on their property. I
The Commissioner stated that he referred the matter to the City Staff, and the Commissioners
have been provided with the staff reports.
Mr. Walter (Jack) Woodhull stated that their letter dated November 29, 1982, presents
their case rather thoroughly. He feels that the basic problem is the deviation from the
standard. He noted that their property is currently being assessed for Special Improvement
District Nos. 502, 505 and 561, which provide water and paving of South Twentieth Avenue.
The property has 320 feet bordering on South Twentieth; and their total bill for all three
SID's is between $11,000.00 and $12,000.00. Mr. Woodhull stated that he owned the property
I at the time SID No. 561, for paving, was created; but he did not protest the creation of the
SID because he is a single-family owner and did not feel that his protest would kill the
I
proposed SID. Mr. Woodhull stated that the zoning of his tract of land would allow construc-
tion of two four-plexes. However, his Single-family residence has a well and septic tank.
The property does have access to water, but no sewer trunk line has been extended to his
property. He feels that the sewer line should have been extended prior to paving of South
Twentieth Avenue; because to install a sewer line at this time will require tearing up the
paving, installing the sewer trunk line, and repaving the street, which will now cost two to
eight times the amount it would have if the consulting engineers' specifications had included
installation of the sewer at the time the SID was created. Mr. Woodhull stated he had two
requests: (1) that the City waive the accelerated assessment if he pays the annual assess-
ments for 1981 and 1982; and (2) that he be provided a means of hooking up to City sewer
without paying an exorbitant amount. Mr. Woodhull noted that Mr. Buz Cowdrey is now develop- I
ing his property across the street and is privately installing a sewer line. That wi II leave
the Woodhull property as the only parcel in the area that is unable to hook up to a City
sewer trunk line without a lot of hassle andlor expense; and he feels that this is a violation
of his rights as a property owner.
Commissioner Weaver asked if the Woodhull property has benefitted from the installation
of water trunk lines and the paving of South Twentieth Avenue.

Mr. Woodhull stated that the improvements have not benefitted him as the current
property owner. He noted that these improvements will enhance the property at the time of
sale; but the fact that a sewer trunk line is not available will greatly detract from the
property.
Mr. Woodhull noted that the water table in the area is high, and the paving of South
Twentieth has affected it. He stated that Mr. Cowdrey's construction of apartment units
I across the street will also affect the water table. Mr. Woodhull feels that the increased
effects on the already high water table will affect his septic tank system; and he will be
required to connect to the City sewer.
Mayor Stiff asked where the nearest sewer trunk line is located.
Mr. Woodhull stated that the nearest sewer trunk is located along South Nineteenth
Avenue; but he would need easements from two property owners and he does not feel that
they would give those easements. The other sewer trunk line in the area is located along
South Twentieth Avenue; and ends at West Dickerson Street. That line is approximately 300
feet from his northern property line, and would require tearing up South Twentieth Avenue
for extension and connection.
Commissioner Mathre noted that the City does not alter requests for Special Improve-
ment Districts when they are presented to the Commission.
Mr. Woodhull stated that he feels that the consulting engineers and City Engineer
should review the requests for SID's and suggest changes that would provide for the long-
range future in the best possible manner. He also noted that when the paving of South
Twentieth Avenue was done, no curb cuts were provided to his property.
Director of Public Service (Works) Holmes stated that curb cuts are provided during
construction when a driveway exists or an owner requests that a curb cut be installed. If a
property owner desires a curb cut after the improvement is completed, he may submit a request
to the City Engineer's office.
City Manager Evans noted that the Commission must consider input from the property
I owner and the City staff and then determine whether or not it has the power to provide an
alternative solution or if it would be best handled in a court of law. The City Manager also
noted that he feels that benefit from the current Special Improvement Districts to the prop-
erty in question has already been established.
Commissioner Weaver noted that the City cannot create Special Improvement Districts
for people who have not petitioned for them. He then asked when the sewer trunk which ends
at West Dickerson Street was installed; and who would have paid for the extension of the
sewer trunk line if that had been completed.
City Manager Evans stated that, according to City Engineer Van1t Hulls memo, the
sewer trunk line was installed several years prior to the paving of South Twentieth Avenue.
Mr. Woodhull noted that the same people who are currently paying for the paving of
South Twentieth Avenue could have paid for the extension of the sewer line.
Commissioner Anderson asked if Mr. George McClure, who has provided engineering
consultant services for the Woodhulls, has contacted Mr. Buz Cowdrey about the possibility of
hooking to his extension of the sewer trunk line and extending it across South Twentieth to
their property.
Mr. George McClure stated that he had talked to Mr. Jim Cummings, Thomas, Dean and
Hoskins, Inc., about a possible sewer trunk hook-up. Mr. Cummings suggested that he talk
to Mr. Buz Cowdrey about the possibility of hooking into the sewer line and extending it.
Mr. McClure noted that the Woodhulls provided easements for water and the street, but the
sewer trunk line has not been extended to their property. He stated that the matter is not
I one of applying for an SI D, but one of engineering judgment.
Director of Public Service (Works) Holmes stated that Mr. Buz Cowdrey is privately
installing the sewer I ine to his development. Once the work is completed and has passed
inspections from various agencies, the sewer I ine will become the City's.
Mr. McClure asked if it would be possible to extend the sanitary sewer line after it,
becomes the City's.

Mr. Woodhull stated that Mr. Cowdrey had approached him about the possibility of
sharing costs of installing the sewer line. However, Mr. Woodhull indicated that he was meet-
ing with the City Commission and would wait to see the outcome prior to pursuing this possi-
bility. Mr. Woodhull then asked if it would be possible to tap into the sewer line that Mr.
Cowdrey is installing after it becomes the City's; cut the street; and run the line to the
north end of his property, after which he could extend the line as necessary on his own
property. I
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if a Special Improvement District can be formed for one
person. She also asked if the City has a policy for elimination of septic tanks within the city
limits.
City Manager Evans stated that the City has no policy on the elimination of septic
tanks because a sewer line must be made available to each parcel of land. He noted that it is
possible to have a one-owner SID, which would provide a means of financing a project over a
number of years.
Director of Public Service (Works) Holmes suggested that since Mr. Cowdrey is fi-
nancing the entire cost of installation of a sanitary sewer line, an attorney should review the
proposal to determine if someone hooking to the extension would be required to pay a portion
of the initial costs. He further noted that the elevation variation between the parcels of the
property must also be determined.
City Manager Evans stated that the City Staff will pursue possible hookup to the sewer
line Mr. Cowdrey is running to this property and the costs that would be involved. He stated
that the City Staff could then meet with Mr. Woodhull and attempt to resolve his problems.
Commissioner Weaver noted that the last paragraph of Woodhull's letter indicates that
until sewer service is provided, the current SID's cause an undue and unnecessary hardship.
City Manager Evans stated that he does not recognize any linkage between the three
current Special Improvement Districts, which Mr. Woodhull has stated do benefit his property,
and the request that sewer service be provided to his property.
City Manager Evans then stated that, under the provisions of the City ordinance, upon I
payment of the delinquent assessments on an SID, the remainder of the SID will be reinstated
to the City.s books and will revert to the original schedule for payment. The City Manager
further noted that the legal process for protest of taxes is to pay the taxes under protest
and then request court action within sixty days.
Mrs. Woodhull stated that the only notice of acceleration of SI D's she received was
through a display advertisement in the newspaper. She wrote a letter and submitted it to the
Clerk of the Commission's office and felt that the letter was adequate protest.
Commissioner Weaver noted that the ordinance provides for application for exemption
from acceleration if the ownerlresident is financially unable to pay the SID assessment. He
noted that is not the basis of Woodhull's letter. He further noted that the Woodhulls were
one year in arrears prior to this year's assessments; and are now two years delinquent.
Mayor Stiff noted that the Woodhulls have had beneficial enjoyment of their money for
two years because of their non-payment of the Special Improvement District assessments. He
also noted that the penalty and interest have not changed dramatically since certification to
the County in December.
City Manager Evans once again stated that he and Director of Public Service (Works)
Holmes will review the situation and work with the Woodhulls in an attempt to extend sewer
service to their property at 1915 West College.
Request - permission to conduct run - Story Centennial Fun Run - Saturday, April 30, 1983,
10:00 a.m. I
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request on behalf of the Story
Centennial Fun Run for permission to conduct an eight-kilometer run on Saturday, April 30,
1983, at 10: 00 a. m. City Manager Evans noted that Chief of Police Tate has expressed ap-
proval of the run; and recommended that the Commission approve the request.
It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission grant approval of the request for permission to conduct the Story Centennial Fun

Run on Saturday, April 30, 1983, at 10:00 a.m. 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.
Preliminary Subdivision Plat Approval - Cottonwood Cove Townhouse Subdivision
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission the Pre I iminary Subdivision Plat for
I Cottonwood Cove Townhouse Subdivision. The City Manager noted that the City-County Planning
Board has conducted a public hearing on the Preliminary Subdivision Plat and has recommended
conditional approval.
Assistant Planner Mike Money stated that at its regular meeting held on February 10,
1983, the City-County Planning Board reviewed the Preliminary Subdivision Plat for the Cotton-
wood Cove Townhouse Subdivision, located between South Nineteenth Avenue and South Eighteenth
Avenue along the south side of West Olive Street. The applicant has previously applied for
and received conditional approval for a minor Planned Unit Development. The appl icant now
wishes to divide the site into seven townhouse lots. The Assistant Planner noted that the
three streets bordering the site have placed several constraints on the use of the site. After
discussion of the site constraints and the effects on traffic on South Nineteenth Avenue, the
Planning Board recommended approval, subject to three conditions. The Planning Board also
suggested an advisory note suggesting that screening be placed along the western property
boundary to shield the units from the traffic along South Nineteenth Avenue.
Commissioner Vant Hull asked if the City will incur any problem with allowing private
streets within the city limits.
Assistant Planner Mike Money noted that South Eighteenth Avenue is a City street.
Both South Seventeenth and South Eighteenth Avenues were designed as cul-de-sac streets to
allow for Planned Unit Developments in that area. He further noted that when the Planning
Staff reviews a plat that includes private streets, they check for possible traffic circulation
problems and the possible need for collector streets.
I Commissioner Anderson asked jf the Planning Board's advisory comment is an enforce-
able requirement.
The Assistant Planner stated that the advisory comment is not enforceable. However,
the City-County Planning Board felt that it would be to the developer's advantage to provide
screening along South Nineteenth Avenue to prevent the possibility of car headlights from
shining through the windows within the units.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that
the Preliminary Subdivision Plat for Cottonwood Cove Townhouse Subdivision be approved
subject to the following conditions, as recommended by the City-County Planning Board:
1. That the design for relocating the ditch be reviewed and approved by
the District Soil Conservationist prior to final plat approval.
2. That prior to final plat approval, the developer must enter into an Im-
provements Agreement with the City of Bozeman guaranteeing the instal-
lation of all scheduled site improvements.
3. That sidewalks be installed along the development's boundaries of West
Olive Street and South Eighteenth Avenue.
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.
Application for Raffle License and request for waiver of fee - Xi Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma
Phi April 9, 1983
I City Manager Evans presented to the Commission an application for Raffle License, along
with the required fee, on behalf of the Xi Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, for a raffle to
be held on Apri I 9, 1983. To be raffled are two gift certificates valued at $200.00. City
Manager Evans noted that this Chapter had requested that the fee be waived due to the fact
that the Chapter is a nonprofit organization. The City Manager then recommended that the
Commission approve the application for Raffle License, but deny the request for waiver of the
02-2Q-83
1+4 G
fee. He noted that many nonprofit organizations obtain Raffle Licenses, but no fees have
been waived.
It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the
Commission approve the application for Raffle License, with no waiver of the fee, on behalf of
the Xi Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi for a raffle to be held April 9, 1983. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Anderson,
Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull and Mayor Stiff; those I
voting No, none.
Request - permission to attend - City Manager Evans and Director of Finance Swan - Great
Open Space City Management Association (GOSCMA) Meeting - Casper, Wyoming - March 17-19,
1983
-
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission a request for permission for the City
Manager Evans and Director of Finance Swan to attend the Great Open Space City Management
Association (GOSCMA) meeting to be held in Casper, Wyoming, on March 17 through 19, 1983.
The City Manager stated that any Commissioner wishing to attend is also invited to
attend. He noted that GOSCMA is a management association, not limited to City Managers.
Mayor Stiff requested that the City Manager present a report on the meeting. The
Mayor then noted that the Commission had considered, but not acted upon, a request for
permission for the Director of Finance to attend a risk management seminar. He asked if the
matter of risk management training is still being considered.
City Manager Evans noted that the Independent Insurance Agents of Bozeman, Montana,
have submitted a letter stating how their association has handled insurance coverage for
public entities in the past. The City Manager stated he feels that the City does need to
develop in-house expertise on risk management.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the Commis-
sion authorize the City Manager and the Director of Finance to attend the Great Open Space
City Management Association (GOSCMA) meeting to be held in Casper, Wyoming, on March 17-19, I
1983 and, it being in the public interest, their expenses be paid out of the appropriate
funds. 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.
Discussion - air quality - re smoking
City Manager Evans noted this item had been placed on the agenda at Commissioner
Vant Hull's request, following Dr. King's presentation on air quality at last week's Commission
meeti ng .
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that the Commission establish a "no smoking" policy
in the Commission Room during Commission meetings; establish a blanket "no smoking" policy
in the Commission Room; or request that other groups using the Commission Room institute a
"no smoking" policy as well. She also suggested the possibility of polling the City Hall
employees about banning smoking in the entire building.
Commissioner Mathre noted interest in a Legislative bill submitted by Representative
Bob Ellerd concerning smoking in public buildings. She noted that the bill would provide for
designated nonsmoking areas in all public buildings. Commissioner Mathre also noted that the
circulation in the Commission Room appears to be good.
Commissioner Anderson stated she feels that the people involved should be allowed an
opportunity for input.
Mayor Stiff noted that for some people with respiratory problems, being around smoking I
areas can be a real problem.
Commissioner Weaver stated that he would like to incorporate a ban on smoking during
Commission meetings, but the policy should include provisions for those who wish to smoke.
The Commissioner stated he feels that the Commission Room is too small and confined to
accommodate smoki ng .
02-2a-83

City Manager Evans noted that it is simply a matter of time until designated smoking
and nonsmoking areas must be provided in public buildings. He stated that during City Court
sessions, smoking is not allowed in the Commission/Court Room. He also noted that Commission
meetings are generally quite lengthy, and he feels that a break period might be desirable.
City Manager Evans then stated that the Staff will review the alternatives and present a
recommendation to the Commission in the near future.
I Commissioner Anderson reiterated her request from last week that a public meeting be
held under the auspices of the City-County Health Board to permit public input concerning
air quality.
Discussion - format for evaluation of Commission employees
City Manager Evans noted that this item had been continued from the February 22, 1983,
Commission meeting.
Mayor Stiff stated that he is the last of the Commission members to review the infor-
mation on evaluation of employees, and he feels that the material is excellent. He noted that
an evaluation should be essentially a building process and a cross-evaluation. He also stated
that City Manager Evans is a definite part of the evaluation process; and he has not been
given an opportunity to review the material. The Mayor stated that the information in the
booklet for evaluation of the City Manager indicates that the evaluation should be performed
outside the regular course of business. The booklet also indicated that each community
should establish its own evaluation process, improve the process when possible, and perform
the evaluation every six months. The goal setting process may be a co-product of the evalua-
tion, but it is a different function. Mayor Stiff also noted that one's initial thought is that
an evaluation is threatening. However, it is a learning process, and the Commissioners will
probably learn to be better in their roles.
Commissioner Anderson noted that an employee evaluation creates a better team effort.
She also stated that she would like to see the list of goals the Commission discussed during
I the meeting with Larry Sprecher in its final form. She noted that this may aid the Commis-
sion in setting goals to solve problems and establish long-term and short-term objectives.
Commissioner Anderson also noted that the Commission should review its goals and objectives
every six months to see if they should be revised.
Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that the Commission review the questionnaire form
used by Billings in their evaluation process and see if any changes should be made. The
questionnaire could then be used as a spring board for discussion.
Mayor Stiff noted that he will be absent from the meeting on March 14; and Commissioner
Weaver will be absent from the meeting on March 21, 1983. The evaluation of Commission
employees will be completed as soon as possible after they have returned.
Information item - meeting to be conducted by Montana State Highway Department - re West
Main Street traffic - Thursday, March 3, 1983, 7:00 p.m., Commission Room
City Manager Evans informed the Commission that he has received verification that the
Montana State Highway Department will conduct a meeting regarding the traffic study on West
Main Street on Thursday, March 3, 1983, at 7:00 p.m. in the Commission Room at City Hall.
City Manager Evans stated the Highway Department had requested the meeting be held in the
Commission Room at City Hall as no other meeting place is available for that date. He stated
this will be the State Highway Department's meeting, and they will conduct it as they deter-
mine best.
Commissioner Anderson noted that the memo from the Clerk of the Commission indicates
I that representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee and
Main Mall will be present. She feels that employees of Main Mall and members of the com-
munity should be aware that this is an open meeting; and anyone is free to attend.
Commissioner Anderson then asked if the meeting will be tape recorded or if someone
will be recording comments made during the meeting.
City Manager Evans once again noted that this meeting is being conducted by the State
of Montana Department of Highways, and not the City. He noted that for the City to tape
02-~-83
1+48
record the meeting or have someone present to take official minutes would be improper.
I nformation item - City of Bozeman, Capital for a Day - Friday, March 25, 1983
City Manager Evans informed the Commission that on Saturday, March 26, 1983, the
City will be 100 years old, as March 26, 1883, is the date the voters ratified the action of the
territorial legislature. Last week, Mr. Mark Bisom, Administrative Assistant to the Governor,
met with City officials to discuss whether or not the City Hall would be able to accommodate I
the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and his staff on Friday, March 25. The City Manager re-
quested that the Commission confirm the Staff1s suggestions, which include placing Governor
Schwinden in the Conference Room and his receptionist in the adjacent office and placing
Lieutenant Governor Turman in the Commissioners' Office. He noted that the City Staff can
utilize the Commission Room for any meetings that might be held on that day.
City Manager Evans noted that Governor Schwinden has tentatively scheduled a meeting
with the local government leaders from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and will then take appointments
with individual citizens for the remainder of the day.
Mayor Stiff noted that the proposal for Bozeman being Capital for a Day on Friday,
March 25, 1983 is a great idea. He also noted that the Museum of the Rockies will be holding
a reception from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on March 25 in conjunction with the City's centennial.
Legislative Update
City Manager Evans noted that Legislative Bulletin Number 7, dated February 25, 1983,
has just been received from the League of Cities. He noted that there has been little activity
due to the break the Legislature has taken during the past week.
Commissioner Anderson stated that she has a list of key people in the Senate Finance
and Claims Committee to lobby for the Governor's Block Grant proposal. She has noted that
HB 614, which would provide a one percent per month penalty on delinquent taxes, has been
tabled. Commissioner Mathre noted that HB 641, which would accomplish the same thing, has
passed the House. Commissioner Anderson stated that HB 689, the lobbyist disclosure bill, I
has passed the House.
Mayor Stiff stated that he attended the Eggs and Issues at the Elks Club on Saturday
morning; and he spoke with John Vincent, Dorothy Eck, Norm Wallin and Paul Boylan about
the City's financial concerns. He noted that all of the Legislators appeared to be receptive.
Commissioner Mathre noted that a bill apparently passed in the 1975 Legislative Session
that would allow local governments to negotiate with local State-owned lands and institutions
for reimbursement for fire and police services provided. She stated that Dorothy Eck wi II
talk to the Department of Administration about how to begin the negotiating process. The
Commissioner also noted that if the Commissioners have not written to the Representatives
about the Governor's Block Grant, they should do so now.
Commissioner Vant Hull noted that a hearing will be held tomorrow on S8 411, sub-
mitted by Dorothy Eck, that would authorize the County governing bodies to provide impact
taxes to municipalities and schools if a large employer or industry is located within the county
and not inside city limits.
Absence of Commissioner Weaver - meeting of March 21, 1983
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
absence of Commissioner Weaver from the March 21, 1983 meeting be authorized in compliance
with Section 7-3-4322, M.C.A. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those
voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson and
Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Commissioner Weaver abstained. I
Discussion - possible issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds for construction of
Bozeman Deaconess Hospital facilities
Mayor Stiff asked if the Commission can consider the proposed location of the Bozeman
Deaconess Hospital facilities when voting on the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue
Bonds for the construction.
02-2g-83
~ It 3
City Attorney Crumbaker-Smith stated that the Commission must look at the entire
presentation and the proposed use of the funds in its decision-making process. She noted
that the proposal must stand or fall on its own merits, no matter what the proposed location
is. She also noted that the Commission must consider all of the effects upon the City.
Mayor Stiff stated that some of the items that must be done to maintain the Hospital in
its present location and to utilize the current facility must be done for any possible use.
I Commissioner Weaver stated that he would hate to have any surprises concerning impacts
on City services after the Hospital reaches its decision on a site. He feels that Mr. Dahlberg
understands the need to study impacts upon the taxpayers as well as the Hospital when consider-
ing a possible site. He then asked if the City has seen an action on the Hospital zoning re-
quests.
City Manager Evans and Assistant City Manager Barrick stated that no requests have
been submitted to date.
City Manager Evans noted that the base I ine in considering issuance of an Industrial
Development Revenue Bond issue is public interest. The City Manager also stated that it is
not the City's role to choose a site for the Hospital.
Mayor Stiff feels that the site of the Hospital must be chosen prior to requesting an
Industrial Development Revenue Bond issue so that the City can be aware of what costs might
be involved.
City Manager Evans noted that the Hospital's location should be stated at the public
hearing for I DR bonds.
Application for Raffle License - Retired Senior Volunteer Program - May 25, 1983
City Manager Evans presented to the Commission an application for Raffle License,
along with the required fee, on behalf of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, for a raffle
to be held on May 25, 1983. To be raffled are a quilt, a baby quilt and a pillow valued at
$125.00.
I It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the
Commission approve the application for Raffle License on behalf of the Retired Senior
Volunteer Program for a raffle to be held May 25, 1983. 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.
File report - Broad Valleys Federation of Libraries for January 1983
City Manager Evans stated that the monthly report for the Broad Valleys Federation of
Libraries for January 1983 appeared to be in order and recommended that it be accepted and
ordered fi led.
It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that
the Commission accept the monthly report for Broad Valleys Federation of Libraries for
January 1983 and that it be ordered filed. 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.
Adjournment - 6:15 p.m.
There being no further business to come before the Commission at this time, it was
moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the meeting be ad-
journed. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Vant Hull
I and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none.
