Introductory Comments to Reorganized City Commission by Mayor Stiff Mayor Stiff stated that, as I ncoming Mayor, he had a few observations, challenges I and criticisms to make. He noted that he does not consider himself a politician, nor does he desi re to be placed in that type of a position. The Mayor feels that the City Commission is the Board of Oi rectors of one of the biggest and most successful businesses in Bozeman. Mayor Stiff then noted that this reorganized City Commission is possibly one of the best educated City Commissions in the State of Montana. With this education, come a number of possible problems. He noted that there is a genuine concern that people can be well edu- cated, but narrowly educated and not responsive to the community. He further noted that there is a deg ree of affluence in the present City Commission, which could cause concern in the general public. Also, all of the City Commissioners are from the south side of the City. Most of the City Commissioners are from the University. And, the fact that the City Com- mission now has three female members is a first. Mayor Stiff stated he feels that these three are Commissioners first and women second, so this should pose no problems. Mayor Stiff noted that his main concern is the misquoting which has taken place, es- pecially during the past week; and he wants this misquoting stopped immediately. He strong Iy suggested that those concerned clean up thei r acts. The Mayor further noted that the question of compensation for City Commissioners I was on the front page of the Gazette. He stated that if a Commissioner does the job, there is no way the City of Bozeman can afford that person. He also stated he does not feel that Ken Weaver should be asked to return his sa lary as City Commissioner to the University. The Mayor stated that he and Commissioner Mathre had voted against the increase in salary 219 in July 1981; and he suggested that the Commission consider moving the salaries back to what they were prior to the increase and take the difference in the salary budget and apply it toward an employee incentive program. Commissioner Mathre stated that she would like to discuss this matter at the end of the agenda for this meeting or at next week's meeting.

The budgeted amount for all alterations to the Battered Women's Network Shelter is $33,179.00. M rs.

The City Manager concurred in the recommendation of the City Staff that the bid be awarded to Robert A. Taylor Construction, Inc. It was moved by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mathre, that the Commission accept the Base Bid and Alternate Nos. 1, 2 and 3 from Robert A.

')? ' "~'u Commission Resolution No. 2385 - Vacation of South Sixteenth Avenue south of West Koch Street City Manager Evans presented Commission Resolution No. 2385, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2385 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN VACATING ALL THAT PORTION OF SOUTH 16TH AVENUE LYING SOUTH OF THE SOUTH RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF WEST KOCH STREET IN THE CITY OF I BOZEMAN, MONTANA. Assistant City Manager Barrick stated that this Commission Resolution is simply a housekeeping detail which must be completed. This portion of South Sixteenth Avenue is located in Richards Subdivision. The area in question was platted as a park, with a street included in the platting. However, the City was unable to obtain any more land adjacent to this area to add to the park. The Court then returned the land to the developer, for a cash-in-I ieu payment to the City of Bozeman. The City must vacate this platted portion of South Sixteenth Avenue so that it may return to the developer.

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. Commission Resolution No. 2386 - Designate Alfred M. Stiff, Mayor, as official signator on I all EPA documents City Manager Evans presented Commission Resolution No. 2386, entitled: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2386 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN OES- IGNATING ALFRED M. STIFF, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, AS OFFI- CIAL SIGNATOR ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN ON ALL NECESSARY AND PROPER OOCUMENTS TO BE FILED WITH THE UNITED STATES EN- VIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY.

Recommendation for award of Repurchase Agreement for the period January 1982 to January 1983 - City Manager Evans presented to the Commission the Staff's recommendation for the award of the Repurchase Agreement for the period from January 1982 to January 1983, as I submitted by the Director of Finance. The City Manager noted that three banks had sub- mitted bids on the Repurchase Ag reement, and he concurred with the recommendation of the Director of Finance that the bid be awarded to Montana Bank at the fixed rate of 12.252 percent accrued daily and paid quarterly, it being the best bid received. 221 Commissioner Weaver asked Mayor Stiff to explain the differences between the bids and the benefit to the City of taking a fixed rate rather than a variable rate. Mayor Stiff noted that it is a gamble to use either a fixed rate or a variable rate. However, at this time the interest rates are very volatile. He noted that six-month money market certificates have a present interest rate of 12 to 13 percent. He further stated that, I in acceptance of a 12.252 percent interest rate, the City is gaining interest on monies which it has not earned interest on in the past as it was in a checking account and on monies which were in passbook accounts, and earning approximately 5 percent. I t was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Commission award the Repurchase Agreement for the period January 1982 to January 1983 to Montana Bank of Bozeman, N.A., at the fixed rate of 12,252 percent, accrued daily and paid quarterly. it being the best bid received. 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. Confirmation of Police Officer Joy Petersen Police Chief George Tate reported that Police Officer Joy Petersen has satisfactorily completed the required one-year probationary period and recommended that Police Officer Petersen be confirmed as a regular officer of the Bozeman Police Department effective January 1, 1982. I City Manager Evans stated he concurred with the recommendation of the Police Chief with a great deal of pleasure. He noted that Joy Petersen is the first female Pol ice Officer to be confi rmed by the City of Bozeman. Mayor Stiff offered his congratulations to Police Officer Joy Petersen in her con- firmation as a Police Officer. It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the confirmation of Police Officer Joy Petersen be approved and she be congratulated upon completing the one-year probationary period. 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. Discussion - Orientation Meeting (date, time and place) City Manager Evans stated that he feels an orientation meeting for the new City Commissioners would be very desirable. Mayor Stiff noted that there are a number of reasons to hold an orientation meeting without much delay. The Mayor also noted that he feels it would be best to hold at least I two sessions, rather than attempt to hold one all-day session. Commissioner Vant Hull suggested that the City Commission consider holding these meetings on Saturdays. Mayor Stiff appointed Commissioner Mathre and Commissioner Vant Hull to meet with City Manager Evans and develop a schedu Ie of subject matter for the orientation meetings. ') ') ':") ",~'\'- The Mayor then suggested that orientation meetings be scheduled for January 23 and January 30, 1982, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, in the Commission Room in the City Hall Building. Mayor Stiff also noted that these will be open meetings. Discussion - Regular meeting time of City Commission City Manager Evans stated that there has been discussion that perhaps the particular I day and time at which the City Commission meets could be changed to accommodate more public participation. He noted that it is a responsibility of the City Commission to establish the day and time for the regular City Commission meetings. The City Manager noted that the administration maintains a neutral position on the day and time of the City Commission meetings. He did note that administrative professiona Is and executive employees do not receive overtime pay. However, he feels that if these employees are required to attend a City Commission meeting after regular business hours, they should be granted compensatory time. He does not see any great cost to the City ultimately. The City Manager noted that the agendas wi II have to be carefully planned, and the City Staff wi II need to be notified, as for most City employees, the evening is their time. As it is now with afternoon meetings, the City Staff is readily available to answer any questions which might arise. Commissioner Weaver noted that, after reading the letter from City Judge Bryan, it seems that on Tuesdays and Thursdays until at least 6:00 p.m., and possibly later, the City Commission Room would not be available for meetings. City Manager Evans noted that the facility is considered a Commission Room first and I a Court Room second. He noted that the City is obligated to provide a suitable place for the Cou rt to function. However, the scheduling of the room is determined by the City Commission. City Attorney Planafp stated the purpose of the letter from the City Judge is to let the Commissioners know that commitments have been made. He interpreted the letter to say that it is difficult to set trials because of time I imitations on the avai lable room. He noted that if the City provides other facilities, they should be spacious, well-lighted, and condu- cive to judicial matters. City Attorney Planalp also noted that City Judge Bryan has been willing to work with the City Staff in the past on efforts which have required cooperation. City Court Clerk Myrna Orton stated the biggest problem in setting jury trials is the work which the Court must do in preparation for the trial. She stated that, if the City Commission were to meet on a Tuesday or Thursday, it would cause jury trials to be held on two consecutive days, which would not allow adequate time to prepare for the second trial. Commissioner Weaver noted concern about the City Court holding trials in a facility other than the Commission/Court Room presently being used. He noted that environment is very important in judicial matters. I Mayor Stiff noted that the Commission should first consider the conceptual aspect of the question. He suggested that the question of what time would be in the best interests of the community should be addressed first. 223 Commissioner Anderson noted that evenings are the most convenient time for the public. She noted that Monday or Wednesday evening would be the best. Mayor Stiff noted that apparently the City has not had tremendous attendance at night meetings in the past. He noted that, as a retired C.P.A., he comes from a sector in which business hours are prime time. The Mayor further noted concern that a change in the I time of the Commission meetings may move important items from prime time to non-prime time for the citizens of Bozeman. Commissioner Vant Hull noted that one man1s prime time is another man's low time. She noted that many people feel that evening hours would be better. She noted that the Commission should consider the change in meeting time as an experiment for a period of six months. Mayor Stiff noted reservations about the assertion that this time change is an im- provement. He further noted that the Fire Chief has indicated that the City Commission will not be allowed to crowd people into the Commission Room. Commissioner Anderson noted that Bozeman is the only municipality of its size that does not conduct night meetings. She noted that the Bozeman City Commission should be able to attempt the same. Mayor Stiff stated that he hopes the City of Bozeman can do things better than other Montana communities. The Mayor also noted that this community is geared to doing business during business hours. Other activities are pursued during the off hours. He further I stated that he has not heard one person state that he has been excluded from participating in a City Commission meeting because of the time at which it is held. Commissioner Anderson noted that the School Board is not much different from the City Commission. Mayor Stiff stated that he hopes the City Commission has more responsibility than the School Board. Commissioner Mathre noted that she had proposed a motion to change the time of the City Commission meeting when she first took office. That motion died for lack of a second. She noted that personally she prefers the afternoon meetings, partially due to the fact that she is not tired and is better able to concentrate on the matters before the Commission. She does not feel that meeting time exists for her convenience, however. She noted a desire to try evening meetings. Commissioner Weaver noted that a principle is involved--the access of the community to the government. He also asked if it would be possible to separate the consent agenda from the substantive agenda. City Manager Evans noted that the City Commission must consider the City Court I schedule. He stated that the City Commission does have priority for use of the City Com- mission Chambers. He also noted that the Community Room at the New Publ ic Library is avai 'able for governmental functions. Mayor Stiff noted that the City administration could have problems preparing for a Monday evening Commission meeting. He also noted that the City wi II lose lead time on some ') .") ~, "- " things which require a great deal of study. He further noted that Wednesday evening is in conflict with any church activities throughout the community. Commissioner Mathre suggested Monday evening meetings with the agenda being sent out on Friday evenings. She then asked if a split meeting is being considered for Mondays. Mayor Stiff asked what would be accomplished prior to recessing for a dinner hour if the meeting is split. I Commissioner Vant Hull suggested the possibility of 7: 00 p. m. on Monday evenings for the City Commission meetings. Commissioner Anderson asked what the State Statutes require to change the time of the City Commission meetings. She asked if a publ ic notice is required. City Attorney Planalp stated that an ordinance or resolution does not become effective until thirty days after its enactment. If a decision is reached during this meeting, an ordinance can be prepared for next week's meeting, and then it will be thirty days before the ordinance becomes effective. He further noted that there are presently items which have been and are to be publicized with Wednesday afternoon meeting dates set up for the remainder of January. Commissioner Weaver noted the possibility of starting in the late afternoon and taking care of as much of the agenda as possible. The Commission could then recess and reconvene at 6:00 p.m., or perhaps earlier. This would allow the Commission the opportunity of completing its meeting before the wee hou rs of the morning. Commissioner Mathre noted that the City staff would also be available at 4:00 p.m. I Mayor Stiff stated that the City is not paying overtime. He noted that the possibility arises that a staff person may be gone during the regular business day on compensatory time when he is needed in his office. City Attorney Planalp noted that, when considering the possibility of a split meeting, the Commission should decide what matters will be considered in which segment because of publ ic notices. He noted that times must be listed in advertisements for construction bids and public hearings. He noted that those items for which the City staff is needed are also items of a public nature. City Manager Evans noted that 4: 00 p. m. would be a better time for the opening of bids. He stated that contractors and other businessmen work simi lar hou rs to those of City employees. The City Manager noted that publ ic hearings could be set for the later hour. Mayor Stiff noted that the possibility could arise where the City Commission meets in the afternoon, recesses and reconvenes for one item, which may take only ten minutes. He noted that this is poor stewardship of time. Commissioner Anderson noted that convenience and efficiency are not what is impor- tant. The important factor is the accommodation of the greatest number of the public. I It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the City Commission change its regular meeting time as follows: (1) routine business be conducted, beginning at 4:00 p.m. on each Monday, recessing until 7:00 p.m. for items of a 225 public nature; (2) if, in the afternoon session any controversial areas arise or any segment of the public is heard from, those items be held until the 7:00 p.m. portion of the meeting to be discussed and/or acted upon; and (3) that the Staff be instructed to prepare for next week's meeting a resolution, and to prepare any and all necessary public notices. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant I Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Reappointments Mayor Stiff announced his appointment to the Board of Adjustment as follows: Board of Adjustment - Duncan S. MacNab to replace William Hunt to December 31, 1984 (3 years) Mayor Stiff noted that, at the present time, the Board of Adjustment does not have a member who has been a Bozeman downtown businessman. He also noted that Ouncan MacNab would like to serve the City in this capacity. Commissioner Vant Hull stated that she has received comments from severa' people, stating concern about the manner in which appointments are made and requesting change. Commissioner Anderson asked if other persons had applied who were as well qualified as Mr. MacNab. She also noted a disagreement with the process by which people are appointed to boards and commissions. Mayor Stiff noted that some of the other appl icants had some of the qualifications, but I none of them had all of the qualifications which Mr. MacNab has. The Mayor then asked the City Attorney to list the process to be followed in appointments to boards and commissions and to note any discrepancies in the manner in which they have been done. City Attorney Planalp stated that the State Code provides that, under the City Man- ager form of government, the Mayor makes appointments to the various boards and com- missions, subject to confirmation by the City Commission. He also noted that the confirma- tion is by a majority vote, with the Mayor casting a vote toward that majority vote. He noted that the Mayor must propose the name for appointment or reappointment. Commissioner Vant Hull noted she feels that information on the various applicants for a position on a board or commission should be available prior to the City Commission meet- ing. It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the Commission concur in the Mayor's appointment. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, Commissioner Vant Hull and Commissioner Anderson. I Authorize Mayor to sign - Change Order No. 1 - Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements - Edsall Construction Co. - Add $2,191.00 The City Manager presented to the Commission Change Order No. 1 for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements for Edsall Construction Company, to add $2,191.00, for the ')?C~ . i,I,-. '" I installation of an intercom system to the maintenance building and a scum trailer tank drain door. It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Vant Hull, that the Commission authorize the Mayor to sign Change Order No. 1 for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements for Edsall Construction Company, to add $2,191.00. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner I Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Authorize Mayor to sign - Request for Reimbursement from EPA - Wastewater Treatment Plant - $182,382.00 City Manager Evans presented a Request for Reimbursement from EPA for the Waste- water Treatment Plant in the amount of $182,382.00. It was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the Commission authorize the Mayor to sign the Request for Reimbursement from EPA for the Wastewater Treatment Plant in the amount of $182,382.00. The motion carried by the follow- ing Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Vant Hull, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre, Commissioner Weaver and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Oiscussion - Compensation for City Commissioners Mayor Stiff noted that at the beginning of the meeting he had suggested the possibi 1- ity of lowering the salaries of the City Commissioners to the level they were prior to the I July 1981 increase, and using the difference in the salary budget for an employee incentive program. He noted this would be a suggestion incentive program, dealing with increased efficiency, increased productivity, increased revenues and reductions in expenditures. He suggested that the Commission could act as a committee as a whole to distribute the money as it sees fit. If no suggestions warrant compensation, the money would remain in the budget. This proposal would eliminate all Department Heads, the City Manager and the Assistant City Manager. Commissioner Weaver noted that he feels this type of program would have a beneficial effect on the City staff. City Manager Evans stated that the suggestion has merit. He further noted that employees of the City are under the executive branch. Due to this fact, he feels the City Manager should have a say in the program that is devised and the award of any monies. Commissioner Vant Hull noted that in some organizations, where an employee's sug- gestion leads to a savings in money, a percentage of the amount saved is given to that employee. She noted that this type of funding could possibly be used for the incentive program. She further noted that she was expecting to receive the money that was budgeted. I She stated if the Commission wishes to reduce the salaries, she would agree. 227 City Manager Evans stated that it is possible for an employee incentive prog ram to work. He noted that if this type of plan is implemented, he feels an equivalent amount of money could be funded from another source. The City Manager further noted that there is no way the City Commission can be compensated for the number of hours which they put in. He further noted that the other City employees receive sa lary increases each year. City I Manager Evans stated that he feels the concept of decreasing the City Commission salaries to the pre-July 1981 level is very noble. The City Manager noted, however, that if the sa la ries are not increased from time to time, it may take an exorbitant increase to catch up with inflationary costs. He also noted that the load upon the Commission has increased due to the change in the times and the requirements placed upon City Commissioners. The City Manager stated he feels these factors should also be considered. Commissioner Mathre suggested the creation of an incentive program for City employees during this fiscal year, with a review of the program at the end of the fiscal year. It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the Commission approve the inception of an employee incentive plan, and that the City Manager be instructed to prepare an outline to be reviewed by the City Commission. 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. City Manager Evans noted that funding from a reduction in wages to the City Commis- I sioners or from other sources within the budget must be considered. Commissioner Vant Hull once again noted that actual savings have been awarded in part to employees. Mayor Stiff noted that this can be done if restricted only to efficiency. He stated he hopes that the incentive prog ram in the City of Bozeman will be more encompassing. Commissioner Weaver noted that he does not want to create a bureaucracy to go along with the incentive program. It was moved by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the Commission decrease the salary of the City Commissioners to the pre-July 1981 level of $50.00 per Commission meeting, with the appropriate compensation for the Mayor; and that the City staff be instructed to prepare an ordinance for adoption at next week's meeting. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Weaver, Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Mathre and Mayor Stiff; those voting No, none. Commissioner Vant Hull abstained. Adjournment - 3:50 p.m. I There being no further business to come before the Commission at this time, it was moved by Commissioner Vant Hull, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the meeting be adjourned.
