Award bid for interior renovations at the Bozeman Senior Center - Risinq Structures, Bozeman,
Montana - base bid plus Alternate No. 2, totaling $69,214.00
City Manager Johnson noted that Commissioner Brown had requested this item be removed from
the Consent Items because of the way it was listed on the agenda. He indicated that the base bid from
Rising Structures is in the amount of $74,940.00, and Alternate No. 2 deletes all interior priming and
painting, for a deduction of $5,726.00, with the net result being $69,214.00. He then forwarded staff's
recommendation for award of the bid.
Commissioner Brown noted that the Senior Center has attempted to keep the costs of this project
as Iow as possible. He stated that the Board felt it was important to have the contractor cut the new
doorway through the concrete wall, so they chose not to recommend acceptance of Alternate No. 1;
however, they felt that they could do the painting and thus save monies by accepting Alternate No. 2.
It was moved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Cetraro, that the bid for interior
renovations at the Bozeman Senior Center be awarded to Rising Structures, Bozeman, Montana, in the
base bid amount of $74,940.00 and Alternate No. 2, deducting $5,726.00, for a total of $69,214.00. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Brown,
Commissioner Cetraro, CommissionerYoungman, Commissioner Hietala and Mayor Kirchhoff; those voting
No, none.
Presentation of Grant Application to the Montana Board of Crime Control for the Victim Witness
Assistance Proqram - Gloria Edwards, Director
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of the grant application to the Montana Board
of Crime Control for the Victim Witness Assistance Program.
Ms. Gloria Edwards, Victim Witness Program Director, noted this is the ninth year of the program,
and the eighth year the City has been involved. She stated that last year, 510 primary victims of violent
crime were assisted through the program, and a large number of those were city residents. She highlighted
the grant application for the upcoming fiscal year, which is in the total amount of $82,696. She indicated
that the 25 percent local match is to be shared on a 65/35 split between the County and the City, with the
County paying $13,438 and the City paying $7,236. Since the amount of funding available through the grant
is frozen, Ms. Edwards noted they are also requesting additional funding in the amount of $4,322, for a total
02-11-2002
-3-
of $11,558 in City assistance for the upcoming year. She indicated that, with the revenues generated by
the surcharge established by the State, the City can easily fund this request from that source; and the
remainder of those revenues can remain in an account for possible future funding needs since the
surcharge can only be expended for this type of program.
It was moved by Commissioner Cetraro, seconded by Commissioner Youngman, that the
Commission approve the grant application for the Victim Witness Assistance Program for Fiscal Year 2002-
2003 as presented. The motion carded by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Cetraro, CommissionerYoungman, Commissioner Hietala, Commissioner Brown and Mayor
Kirchhoff; those voting No, none.
Commission Resolution No. 3510- adopting land use facilitated meetin(~ program
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of Commission Resolution No. 3510, as
approved by the City Attorney, entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 3510
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE LAND USE FACILITATED MEETING
PROGRAM.
Assistant City Manager Ron Brey gave a brief history of the development of this program, noting that
in the Fall 2000, the Community Mediation Center (CMC) found grant monies to develop a program for
facilitated discussions on land use issues and, in November 2000, the Commission approved their proposal
and directed staff to work with CMC on developing that program. He, Planning Director Epple, Staff
Attorney Tim Cooper and then Mayor Marcia Youngman served on the committee and, in November 2001,
the proposed program was presented to a community group. Based on the input from that meeting, the
committee finalized the program that is before the Commission at this time. He noted that the grant to
develop the program expired at the end of December; the CMC is seeking grant funds for their operations
through June, and they will be approaching the City for monies to proceed with the program next year.
The Assistant City Manager identified one revision to the program attached to Commission
Resolution No. 3510, noting that on Page 3, a last bullet should be added under "Facilitated Dialogue" to
read "Meetings are voluntary" to ensure consistency in the program description.
Ms. Kathryn Strickland, Community Mediation Center, distributed copies of brochures on the
program. She noted that this program includes facilitated information meetings, which are to be completed
eady in the process, even before submittal to the City, and are designed for proactive information exchange
to prevent conflict; and facilitated dialogues, which can be conducted at any time during the review process,
and are designed to address conflicts and issues in a neutral and constructive manner. She outlined the
differences in the two types of meetings, which include: (1) timing of the meeting; (2) emphasis; (3) costs;
and (4) who can request the meeting. Similarities in the two types of meetings include: (1) the services are
voluntary; (2) neutral facilitators run the meeting; (3) the reporting process; (4) results are advisory; (5) the
services are in addition to the public hearing process; and (6) the meetings are conducted in a neutral,
informal setting and are to be non-adversarial with all parties talking about issues respectfully and, hopefully,
in depth.
Commissioner Brown suggested that, for clarification, the heading at the top of Page 2 be changed
to read "Cost to Applicant"; that "concerned parties" be defined at the bottom of Page 2; and that the third
bullet under "Reporting" on Page 4 be revised to say "Any recommended action plans are signed by all
participants".
ReSponding to Mayor Kirchhoff, Ms. Strickland estimated the annual cost of this program at $3,000
to $5,000. She indicated that they have submitted one grant application and will be submitting two more
applications next week for funding of the pilot program, and she anticipates funding for a continuing program
will be requested from the City.

Further responding to the Mayor, Ms. Strickland reviewed the rationale for the fee for facilitated
information meetings, noting that people tend to have a more vested interest in something they pay for. She
stated those fees will be used to cover the incidental costs of the meeting, including name tags and
refreshments. She then stressed that, in addition to the fees listed, the applicant will be required to pay the
costs of mailing invitations for the meetings--a requirement based on the existing zoning processes.
Responding to Commissioner Brown, Planning Director Epple stated he anticipates an even mix
between developers and single property owners requesting these services. He then indicated that the costs
of the in-house work and CMC work on this program are not yet known, but a year of operating the program
should provide that information. At that time, the fees for the program can be re-evaluated and a
determination made on the amount of costs that should be recovered through those fees.
Ms. Strickland noted that the CMC has handled the small claims cases for Gallatin County since
1995, serving 150 citizens per year at a cost of approximately $5,000.
Responding to questions from Commissioner Youngman, the Planning Director suggested that the
fees at the top of Page 2 could be revised to include "... $50 for minor site plan or minor subdivision, $75
for major site plan or major subdivision", noting that planned unit developments fall under the major site
plan review.
It was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner Hietala, that Commission
Resolution No. 3510, adopting the land use facilitated meeting program, be adopted as revised to include
the header "Cost to applicant" at the top of Page 2; additions of "minor subdivision" and "major
subdivision" in the fee structure; clarification on Page 3 to add a bullet that reads "Meetings are
voluntary"; clarification on Page 4 to read "Any recommended action plans are signed by all participants";
and reference to the zone code definition of concerned party. The motion carried by the following Aye and
No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Hietala, Commissioner Brown,
Commissioner Cetraro and Mayor Kirchhoff; those voting No, none.
Ordinance No. 1556 - amendinq the zoning desi.qnation from "R-I" to "B-I" on 4.97 acres located

intersection of Kagy Boulevard and South Third Avenue, be provisionally adopted and that it be brought

Mayor Kirchhoff; those voting No, none.

Commission Resolution No. 3509 - amending the Commission's rules of procedure to chanqe
Commission meetinq times
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of Commission Resolution No. 3509, as
approved by the City Attorney, entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 3509
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
AMENDING THE RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE CONDUCT OF CITY COMMISSION
BUSINESS.
City Attorney Luwe noted that the resolution reflects the changes discussed at last week's meeting.
He indicated that, since a resolution becomes effective immediately upon adoption unless it includes a
delayed effective date, the new meeting schedule will be in effect for next week's meeting.
It was moved by Commissioner Cetraro, seconded by Commissioner Youngman, that Commission
Resolution No. 3509, amending the Commission's rules of procedure, be adopted. The motion carried by
the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Cetraro, Commissioner Youngman,
Commissioner Hietala, Commissioner Brown and Mayor Kirchhoff; those voting No, none.
Discussion re interqovernmental agreement with County for coordination between the City and the
County concerninq the manaqement of development in the Bozeman area
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of the draft intergovernmental agreement, as
forwarded by the City Planning Board and the County Planning Board.
Planning Director Andy Epple noted that when the City-County planning program was dissolved two
years ago, both Commissions recognized the need to replace that program with an instrument that provides
for cooperative land use planning in the former jurisdictional area. After he, Assistant City Manager Eon
Brey, County Commissioner Bill Murdock and Mayor Steve Kirchhoff had completed initial drafts of an
intergovernmental agreement, they submitted it to the respective Planning Boards for their consideration.
He noted that over a period of six months, those boards worked to revise the document, which reflects the
new growth plans; and the Presidents of the Planning Boards have jointly forwarded the agreement to the
Commissions for review.
Assistant City Manager Brey noted that the cover letter from the Boards provides valuable
background information on the items considered as this proposed agreement was developed. He stated
the agreement is designed to address those items that are of common concern for the two entities. He
identified the benefits for the City, which include the requirement for annexation prior to development
whenever possible; proper integration into city facilities upon annexation; and proper dispersion of parkland
in the area adjacent to the city. Benefits for the County include encouraging urban density development in
nodes or close to existing municipalities; annexation prior to development, thus allowing the city to provide
the services needed for urban density development; and clarification of road right-of-way or easement
responsibilities. He concluded by cautioning that this document has not been subjected to legal review by
either the City or County staff, and the County Commission has not yet reviewed the document. He
stressed that, to be effective and binding, the City Commission and County Commission must adopt the
same document.
Associate Planner Chris Saunders posted the map that accompanies the agreement, noting that the
old zoning jurisdiction, which is now the County's 201 zoning district, is identified for reference purposes
only. The boundary of the 2020 plan is also identified and is the area which is subject to the provisions of
this agreement. He stated this agreement addresses how the City and the County will deal with each other
when development occurs outside city limits but within the urban land use area. He stated that any
development in the city is approved by the City Commission and any development in the urban land use
area is approved by the County Commission, but this agreement does provide for exchange of information
within this area.
02-11-2002
-7-
Planning Director Epple stated that the main feature of this agreement is that the County would
require a developer to approach the City with any proposal for development, and the City must determine
if services are available. If services are not available, the property can then be developed in the county.
He noted that the two Planning Boards understood and supported this concept.
Associate Planner Saunders stated that many of the provisions in this agreement are included in
the State laws. He then indicated that this agreement includes a sunset provision and provides for periodic
review to determine if it is working as needed.
Responding to Commissioner Hietala, Associate Planner Saunders stated that staff and the Planning
Boards wanted to have adoption of the growth policies slightly ahead of consideration of this document, to
ensure that it is in compliance with any changes that may have been made in the growth policies. He noted
the first adoption period is ten years, to give an opportunity to test the program, although biennial reviews
are required to monitor progress under this agreement.
Responding to Mayor Kirchhoff, the Associate Planner stated that urban density development should
occur where urban services are available. He then noted that the County's growth plan is being developed
in two pieces, with a general plan that covers the entire county and a neighborhood plan for the area around
the city that provides for a more detailed level of planning.
Commissioner Brown stated it appears this agreement reflects a change in direction, to a more
aggressive approach to annexation. Planning Director Epple responded by characterizing the City's position
on annexation as passive/aggressive because, while the City does not actively seek annexations, it does
everything possible to annex a parcel upon the property owner's request. He noted that the added twist
under this agreement is the County referring people to the City, which it already does, as evidenced by the
recent requests for annexation of the Baxter Meadows and Laurel Glen properties.
Commissioner Youngman suggested that the Commission send a letter to the County Commission
encouraging them to review and approve this agreement, subsequent to their legal staff reviewing the
document.
It was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner Hietala, that the
Commission endorse the agreement, recognizing it has not yet received legal review, and communicate to
the County Commission the City Commission's willingness to talk regarding any outstanding concerns; and
direct staff to complete legal review and prepare a document for Commission consideration and signature.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Youngman,
Commissioner Hietala, Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Cetraro and Mayor Kirchhoff; those voting No,
none.

$300 donation from the City to help defray the costs of this seminar; and voiced his willingness to pay those
costs to show town and gown cooperation.
The Commissioners requested this item be placed on next week's agenda for consideration.
(13) City Manager Johnson stated that he and two Commissioners attended the solid waste
meeting in Belgrade on Wednesday evening.
Commissioner Brown asked if there will be more solid waste district meetings in other towns; the City
Manager responded he does not know.
Commissioner Brown characterized the meeting as two hours of the County representatives taking
turns throwing pot shots. He noted that, in the long term, the City and County will probably both be putting
their solid waste at Logan; however, the City cannot walk away from its landfill without having the closing
costs covered.
(14) The City Manager asked for Commission guidance on proceeding with the budget process.
He noted there is some discretion and flexibility in the budgeting process, with the ability to put emphasis
on a specific area, if the Commission so chooses. He identified some of the issues that could be addressed
in the budget, but noted he has received no Commission direction at this time. He cautioned that many of
those items involve additional personnel and indicated an interest in receiving Commission direction on that
issue.

applicant has indicated a willingness to withdraw the application for rezoning. He indicated that, if the
02-11-2002
-9-

amendments, which are to be processed in the next month or six weeks.
A majority of the Commissioners indicated support for processing this amendment in the first round
of zone code amendments.
(16) Planning Director Epple noted that the housing tour was conducted on Friday, with members
from the Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board and the Commission in attendance. He noted that
they looked at thirty housing developments covedng a wide vadety of housing types.
(17) The Planning Director stated that, as a result of informal discussions on stream corridor
setbacks and revisions to the zone code and subdivision regulations to bring those documents into
conformance with the new Bozeman 2020 Community Plan, staff has identified several items to be included
in the first round of revisions. He voiced interest in Commission input on those items prior to beginning the
amendment process, possibly in a work session at next week's meeting; the Commissioners concurred.
(18) Director of Public Service Debbie Arkell submitted the following. (1) Reminded the
Commissioners of the first meeting of the solid waste task force, scheduled for 7:00 p.m. tomorrow at the
Professional Building. (2) Noted that staff is preparing for the household hazardous waste collection on June

on a merit badge, similar to the boy scout in attendance at tonight's meeting.
