Audi t Committee - present function__~~<!_~eeration of ~.?_~~!!.t~_e; furt~.!__c.?E..t~~uaD~~of c<?"n:!,~!!.t~.!.
I Commissioner Stiff addressed the question of the Audit Committee and its function. He
stated that he feels the committee should be continued. especially with the audit of the
Water and Sewer Funds and the requests for pertinent bond information.
Harry Newlon stated that he feels it is important to continue the Audit Committee.
The stated that it is a common occurrence in the private sector to have an audit committee
that reports to the Board of Directors of the organization. He also stated that it is good
for the City to have outside perspectives regarding the financial position of the City.
He also stated that with the high turnover on the City staff at the present time. he
feels it would not be comfortable to make more changes at this time. He also questioned
the makeup of the Committee and suggesten that it might be hetter to make the City Manager
and Director of Finance ex-officio members of the Committee. rather than members. He
stated that there were times when it was hard to state what one felt with the City staff
present.
Mr. Newlon also stated that he feels that the makeup of the Committee gives a broad
view of the whole situation. He then suggested that the appointments to the Committee
I should not be permanent. but rather for a two-year term. staggered so that there was one
new person on the Committee each year.
Gil Crain also questioned the appropriateness of the City ~.1anager and Director of
Finance as members of the Audit Committee. He questione,l whether the auditors would
state what they really thought or if they may soft pedal their comments with members of ,
the City staff present. He feels that it has been a good year and that the Committee has
302
come a long way, even though it has been a loose knit organization. He also stated that
it was not the intention of the Committee to get involved in the Manager's role in the audit
process.
Commissioner Vollmer stated that he felt the Committee could function through the
end of the year. I
Commissioner Stiff stated that he felt it would be in the best interests of both the City
and the Audit Committee to convene a meeting fairly soon to define the procedu'res and opera-
tion of the Committee and who is the liaison between the auditors and the City.
Harry Newlon stated that the role of the Audit Committee is strictly advisory to
the Commission. He feels it should avoid getting involved in the day-to-day operations
of the City staff. This, he felt was one of the problems faced by the Committee, rather
than the overall operations and procedures.
Commissioner Swanson suggested a delay in a decision on the Audit Committee until
such time as the authority and makeup of the Committee is redefined. He felt that this
would make the Committee more comfortable and that they would know in what areas they
were to work.
Commissioner Vollmer appointed Commissioner Swanson and GiJ Crain to work from
the draft that was followed last year by the Audit Committee and make revisions and modi-
fications in it for the coming year. He also suggested that Interim City Manager Evans
contact the auditing firm and get a date for them to meet with the City Commission regarding I
this year's audit.
Interim City Manager Evans stated that he was responsible to the City Commission
only. He stated that the Audit Committee is an advisory organization only, and that the
City Manager has no responsibility to that organization.
Comrnissioner Vollmer continued the matter for a period of one week to allow time to
make the modifications and revisions to the draft organization of the A udit Committee.
Decision - Zone M~Qha!.lJLe- Virgil Jahnke :.~.:.? to R-:?...:-~_
This was the time and place for the decision upon the request for a zone map
change from R-2 to R-2-A by Mr. Virgil Jahnke. This zone change would allow a smaller
lot size than is now permitted in the R-2 zone.
The Zoning Commission had recommended approval of this zone map change request.
Commissioner Stiff stated his concern over the possible overloading of the streets in
the area, which are already not in the best condition, and already have a heavy traffic
load on them. The City Engineer stated that the water and sewer in the area had already
been stubbed in as the plans are now shown, and he felt that it would. be rather expensive I
to the developer to change the lot sizes at this point.
It was moved by Commissioner Mathre, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the zone
map change request from R-2 to R-2-A by Virgil Jahnke for Blocks 20, 21, 29 and 30 in
Valley Unit No. 1 Subdivision be approved. The motion carried by the following Aye and

Commissioner Vollmer declared the public hearing on a BMX track opened. Recrea-
tion Director A. Glen White gave a brief introduction to the subject and stated what events
had talcen place up to now. He stated that this would be a track for non-motorized small
wheeled bicycles. He also stated that the County Commission had given approval for a
site located at the Law and Justice Center and a track was started there. However, now
I the County Commission desires to put a detention center in that location, so has requested
that the track be moved to another location. He also stated that the area for the track
now being proposed would be 200 feet by 250 feet and would be located. irl the southeast
corner of Langohr Park, south of Mason Street. Mr. White also stated that the County had
agre(~d to haul 200 yards of dirt from the Law and Justice Center to Langohr Park for the
trac k .
Commissioner Vollmer then opened the hearing to supporters of the BMX track and
its proposed location in Langohr Park.
Dan Ardesson stated that he was in favor of the track. He also stated that he would
like to hear what the opposition had to say, so that they would know where the problems
were and could then answer them.
Commissioner Vollmer then opened the hearing to those in opposition to the BMX
track arld its location.
John Parker, 1612 South Tracy, stated that the proposed location of the track would
be next to a commercial zone. He then stated several proble'ns he could see with this 10-
I cation, including noise and congestion. Mr. Parker also read a petition opposing the track,
1
and containing B6 signatures from persons located in the area around Langohr Park and
presented it to the Commission. The petition stated that the und.ersigned were not opposed.
to the BMX track, but to the appropria.teness of Langohr Park as its location. Mr. Parker
stated that he had also received four calls from people whose signahlres did. not appear
on the petition but who agreed with its concept. He also stated other problems involved
with the track, which included dust, parking, littering, appearance, and the fact that
most of the park is a marsh.
304
Dr. Dick Pohl, 1716 South Rouse, represented the Homeowners Association of the
Thompson's Fourth Addition and University Subdivision. He distributed two documents to
the Commission. The first was a copy of a letter dated November 5. 1979. regarding the
development of Langohr Park; and the second was a drawing dated September 25. 1979.
showing the proposed development of Langohr Park. He stated that the intentions in de- I
veloping the park were to preserve the south area for natural terrain and study. He feels
there should be a natural preserve within the city limits.
Jerry Lapeyre. 1704 South Willson. also stated that he felt parking would be a
problem. He also stated that there were no restroom facilities in the area. He feels there
would be no reason to haul more dirt to the park. He stated that there are already motor-
cycles in the area already. and the track would simply increase the number of motorcycles
in the IHrk.
Ken Tiahrt. 204 East Lincoln. stated that this is a natural area. He stated that
the track would attract too large a number of people al'1d suggested finding a more suitable
site for it.
Nancy Lapeyre. 1704 South Willson. stated that her children had enjoyed playing
in the park and the spontaneity of the park was good for them. She stated that it stirs
the children's imaginations.
Morris J af fe . 1311 South Black. stated three reasons that he felt would not be
compatible with the track. He mentioned the fishing stream running through the park; I
the fact that bikes are being used in the area now on a non-competitive basis; and
there is presently a large playground in the area with a 3-diamond baseball field. He
feels this would be overloading the area.
Bob Gemmell, 1508 South Willson. also brought up the traffic problem. He stated
that this was to be a low maintenance park. He also stated that it is in a deteriorating
con ell tion. He stated that dirt is drifting into the stream. There is only one ingress-
egress intu the area.
John Braaksma. Woodbrook. also stated a concern over the parking problem. He
also stated that this is a nice residential area--one of the best in town. He also stated
that there would be a traffic problem with bicycles on South Willson going to the track.
He supports the program but feels the track should be in a different location.
Dan Grooms. an avid BMX'er. stated that he wouldn't want a track in his back
yard either. He feels this is not the place for the track.
Lou Spain. 1405 South Black. stated that he has had the support and encouragement
for this program from the start from the Police. Sheriff. and the Highway Patrol. He
also stated that it was not the intention of anyone supporting the program to irritate any- I
one. and they would gladly look for another location.
Interim City Manager Evans stated that he had received a call from John Onstad.
Gallatin County Sheriff. stating that he would be unable to attend the meeting but that
he wished his message conveyed to the Commission. He is neither for or against the loca-
tion . He also wanted to state that in the time the track was located on Gallatin County
property. they had had no problems.
:lO5
Jim Sinclair, 409 East Story, an avid BMX'er, stated that he wants to see the track
placed somewhere else where there would be less hassle from the residents of the area.
John May, 610 South Willson, Track Director in Bozeman, stated that they are not
trying to hurt people's feelings. He stated that the BMX'ers must follow certain rules and
I regula tions to race. He stated that regulations allow the track to he no more than
1200 feet in length. Also, there is a maximum of six bikes racing at anyone time, so
there is not any dust created. The racers are also required to clean up any litter in the
area after the race is over. He also stated that no alcoholic beverages are allowed anywhere
near the race according to the rules, otherwise they lose their sanction. He also stated
that there is no loud public address system involved. It is very quietly officiated. He
also said that everybody wants the track in somebody else's back yard.
Delbert High, Manager of the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, backs the conduct of
the children involved in BMX. He was questioned about the possibility of placing the track
in a corner of the fairgrounds. He stated that the Fair Board. plans to place a large multi-
purpose building on the land close to that area, and that there would be the need for
additional parking, which would include the area requested for the nMX track.
Several of the people who spoke suggested the possibility of putting the IHiX track
at the Recreation Complex located on Haggerty Lane. They feel that since this is a sports
area, it would be the best location. The main problem mentioned in connection with this
I is the possible traffic congestion on weekends with the possibility of softball tournaments
and BMX races going on at the same time.
There were also several people present who backed what the protestors said, but
who did not speak themselves.
Interim City Manager Evans recommended that the public hearing be closecl.
Commissioner Vollmer closed the public hearing. He also referred the matter to
the Staff and requested that they look for any available sites.
