Ordinance No. 1538 - changing the names of various streets, including streets within the Durston
Meadows Subdivision and Harvest Creek Subdivision, the old Highland Boulevard and the new Oak
Street
Previously distributed in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of Ordinance No. 1538, as
approved by the City Attorney, entitled:
ORDINANCE NO. 1538
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
CHANGING THE NAMES OF VARIOUS STREETS, INCLUDING STREETS WITHIN THE
DURSTON MEADOWS SUBDIVISION AND HARVEST CREEK SUBDIVISION, THE OLD
HIGHLAND BOULEVARD AND THE NEW OAK STREET IN THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA.
It was moved by Commissioner Smiley, seconded by Commissioner Kirchhoff, that Ordinance
No. 1538, changing the names of various streets, be finally adopted. The motion carried by the
following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Smiley, Commissioner Kirchhoff,
Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Frost and Mayor Youngman; those voting No, none.
Ordinance No. 1540 - vacating east/west alley in Block 19, Capitol Hill Addition, lying between the
north/south alley and South 6th Avenue
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of Ordinance No. 1540, as approved by
the City Attorney, entitled:
ORDINANCE NO. 1540
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
VACATING AND ABANDONING THE EAST/WEST ALLEY IN BLOCK 19, CAPITOL HILL
ADDITION, LYING BETWEEN THE NORTH/SOUTH ALLEY AND SOUTH 6TH AVENUE,
IN THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA.
Engineering Assistant Andy Kerr reminded the Commissioners that the subject alley is located
between South 6th Avenue and the north/south alley to the east and between West Cleveland Street
and West Arthur Street. He noted one of the conditions of the alley vacation was that the adjacent
property owners would provide utility easements, and two of the property owners would sign a
mutual access easement for use of a portion of the vacated alley as a shared driveway. Those
easements were just approved under the Consent Items, so the Commission may now adopt this
ordinance vacating the alley. The Engineering Assistant noted that the alley has essentially been
taken over by the neighbors for a number of years, so it could not be used as an alley.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, the Engineering Assistant stated that the north/south alley
is still blocked on the north end, and indicated that the neighbors can be required to remove the
blockages if the Commission so directs.
Commissioner Frost responded it would be a good idea to have the north/south alley opened
again, particularly since the east/west alley is being vacated.
It was moved by Commissioner Kirchhoff, seconded by Commissioner Brown, that Ordinance
No. 1540, vacating the east/west alley in Block 19, Capitol Hill Addition, lying between the
north/south alley and South 6th Avenue, be provisionally adopted and that it be brought back in two
weeks for final adoption. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye

being Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Smiley and
Mayor Youngman; those voting No, none.
Concept plan review - Madison Place {60-unit condominium project at southwest corner of Durston
Road and Michael Grove Avenue) (I-01 24)
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a memo from Assistant Planner Jami Morris,
dated May 29, forwarding background information and proposed plans for the condominium project.
Assistant Planner Morris noted that the subject property, at the southwest corner of the
intersection of Durston Road and Michael Grove Avenue, is zoned "R-4", Residential--High-density;
and the applicant proposes to construct 60 condominium/townhouse units. Proposed setbacks for
the project include 25-foot setbacks from Durston Road, 20-foot front and rear setbacks, and 5-foot
side yard setbacks. The applicant also proposes 26-foot-wide drive aisles and 177 parking spaces
plus 3 disabled parking spaces, while the zone code requires 170 parking spaces plus 6 disabled
parking spaces. The Assistant Planner indicated that one of the issues which arose during
Development Review Committee review was the potential of street cuts for additional water and
sewer services while a street cut moratorium still remains on Michael Grove Avenue.
Mr. Sean Shahan, applicant, indicated that Madison Place is designed as a high-density
affordable housing project. He noted they have purchased three lots in the North Meadows
Subdivision; and those lots are surrounded by four-plex apartment buildings and a school to the west,
four-plexes to the east, and a single-family residential development to the north. He projected that
this development would be completed in three phases.
Mr. Shahan stated that a review of properties on the market revealed there are currently 20
properties in Bozeman for $105,000 or less; 13 of those are mobile homes, 5 are condominiums, and
2 are townhouses. Of those units, the newest was constructed in 1996.
Responding to Commissioner Brown, Mr. Shahan stated the units are to contain 1,100 square
feet on two floors.
Responding to Commissioner Smiley, Mr. Dennis Foreman, consulting engineer, stated that a
56-unit apartment complex was previously approved for this subject property. He noted that, since
Michael Grove Avenue is less than seven years old, it is subject to the street cut moratorium. He
indicated that a mechanism has been identified for providing adequate water and sewer services
without cutting the street. He then drew the Commission's attention to the fact that a 5-foot setback
from the adjoining park is proposed for one of the buildings to provide adequate space for parking,
and asked for Commissioner input on that issue.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, Mr. Foreman stated that one parking space is provided in
the garage and one space on the parking pad for each unit. In addition, there are parking areas within
the development and 10 on-street parking spaces on Michael Grove Avenue, for a total of 180 parking
spaces for the entire project.
Further responding to Commissioner Frost, Mr. Shahan stated that first-time homebuyers are
typically young couples or single professionals. He recognized, however, that some could be families
with small children and, as a result, a small playground area has been proposed in the common area,
which is close to the existing park.
Mayor Youngman suggested that the play area be located adjacent to the park, noting the
result would be to amplify both areas.
Commissioner Frost suggested that access to the park be provided through the development,
so that children aren't required to walk in the street to reach the playground or park area. As a result
of discussion, the Commissioners suggested that adequate pedestrian circulation could be
accomplished through the use of different materials or different colors if concrete is used.
06-04-2001

Planning Director Epple stated it is his administrative position that the required setback adjacent
to parkland is critical, and that it is even more important when a multi-family structure and a small
parkland area are involved. He cautioned that allowing a 5-foot setback will either result in conflicts
between the buildings and park uses or a significant portion of the park being unusable because
people will tend to stay away from the building. He recognized that if the 20-foot setback is required,
it will mean a loss of parking spaces and probably a loss of dwelling units.
Mr. Shahan voiced concern that the loss of even one or two dwelling units will result in higher
prices, which is a big issue when trying to provide affordable units. He then proposed the
construction of a privacy fence between the park and the building if a 5-foot setback is allowed.
After discussion, the Commissioners indicated they cannot support a 5-foot setback from the
park area; rather, the required 20-foot setback is to be provided.
In response to questions from Mayor Youngman about the color of the buildings, Mr. Shahan
showed the Commissioners some samples of the colors to be used. He noted the siding is to be
Arcadia green, and a light off-white is to be used for the trim. He indicated, however, that he would
be willing to consider some different colors to help break up the appearance of the project.
Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, Mr. Foreman stated there are to be two accesses plus
an emergency access to the subject property.
Commissioner Frost asked that trees be included in the landscape planters.
Commissioner Kirchhoff requested that the fronts of the buildings, rather than the backs or
sides of the buildings, be oriented toward the Michael Grove Avenue and Durston Road frontages.
He indicated that, if that cannot be accomplished, the back of a building can be oriented toward the
street as long as it is designed to look like the front of the building.
Commissioner Frost stated he does not want to see fences along Michael Grove Avenue or
Durston Road, noting that they are not pedestrian friendly.
The Commissioners concluded the discussion by thanking the applicants for this opportunity
to provide input on the proposed development.
Break - 6:57 to 7:03 p.m.
Mayor Youngman declared a break from 6:57 p.m. to 7:03 p.m., in accordance
Commission policy.

This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Major Site Plan with Certificate
of Appropriateness requested by Osco Drug for David and Lou Ann Wallin, under Application No.
Z-01043, to allow demolition of the existing automobile dealership and construction of a drug store

It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Brown, that the public
hearing be continued to July 9, to give the advisory bodies an opportunity to review the revised plans
and forward their recommendations. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those
voting Aye being Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner
Smiley and Mayor Youngman; those voting No, none.
Public hearing - Certificate of AoDroDriateness - to allow for expansion of existing garage in rear yard
setback, construction of 19-foot by 24-foot addition with porches to connect house and garage, and
new sidewalks and entrance landing, with deviations from Sections 18.18.050, 18.50.060.C. and
18.50.060, Bozeman Municipal Code, to allow height of .qara.qe which encroaches 20 feet into
required 20-foot rear yard setback to be increased by 4 feet, allow side porch addition to encroach
6 feet into required 15-foot corner side yard setback and allow concrete walkway with steps and
landing area to extend more than 5 feet into required 15-foot corner side yard setback on Lots 7-10,
Block 15, Capitol Hill Addition - Scott and Lori Lawson, 405 West Cleveland Street (Z-01038)
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the Certificate of Appropriateness
requested by Scott and Lori Lawson under Application No. Z-01038, to allow for expansion of the
existing garage, construction of a 19-foot by 24-foot addition with porches to connect the house and
garage, and new sidewalks and entrance landing on Lots 7 through 10, Block 15, Capitol Hill
Addition. In conjunction with this application is a request for deviations from Sections 18.18.050,
18.50.060.C. and 18.50.060 of the Bozeman Municipal Code to allow the height of the existing
garage, which encroaches 20 feet into required 20-foot rear yard setback, to be increased by 4 feet,
allow the side porch addition to encroach 6 feet into the required 15-foot corner side yard setback,
and allow a concrete walkway with steps and landing area to extend more than 5 feet into the
required 15-foot corner side yard setback. The subject property is located at 405 West Cleveland
Street.
Mayor Youngman opened the public hearing.
Historic Preservation Planner Derek Strahn presented the staff report. He noted that several
modifications are being proposed to the existing site, including increasing the height of the existing
garage by four feet, adding porches and a new entrance landing on the existing house, and
construction of an addition which connects the existing house and garage. He indicated that these
improvements will require several deviations to permit encroachments into the various setbacks.
The Historic Preservation Planner stressed that the main entrance to the home will still be on
West Cleveland Street; and the appearance of the home from that frontage will remain essentially the
same. He noted that the proposed addition will front on South 4th Avenue, which is a far less
traveled street than West Cleveland Street.
Historic Preservation Planner Strahn noted that staff is supportive of this application, with
conditions which ensure that the project will be historically appropriate and meet the criteria for
deviations. He characterized this project as significantly different from other projects recently
considered. The addition, in comparison to the existing house and garage, is substantially smaller;
and it also fronts on South 4th Avenue. The project will not impact any mature vegetation on the
site; and, with conditions, staff has determined it is in conformance with the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards. Staff has received only one written comment on this project, and it was in
support.
Responding to Commissioner Brown, the Historic Preservation Planner stated that use of the
space over the garage has not yet been identified, but it will not be used as a living unit. He
suggested that the bathroom in close proximity to the garage could be for the convenience of anyone
who might be staying above the garage.
Mr. Scott Lawson, applicant, stated they plan to use the space over the garage for storage,
but they may wish to improve it for additional living space or a bedroom at some time in the future.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the proposed project.

Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Youngman closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Smiley, that the
Commission approve the Certificate of Appropriateness requested by Scott and Lori Lawson under
Application No. Z-01038, to allow for the expansion of the existing garage, construction of a 19-foot
by 24-foot addition with porches to connect the house and garage, and new sidewalks and entrance
landing, with deviations from Sections 18.18.050, 18.50.060.C. and 18.50.060 of the Bozeman
Municipal Code to allow the height of the existing garage, which encroaches 20 feet into required 20-
foot rear yard setback, to be increased by 4 feet, allow the side porch addition to encroach 6 feet into
the required 15-foot corner side yard setback and allow a concrete walkway with steps and landing
area to extend more than 5 feet into the required 15-foot corner side yard setback on Lots 7 through
10, Block 15, Capitol Hill Addition, subject to the following conditions:
To better accentuate the South Fourth Avenue entrance and stay in keeping
with the character-defining features of the Mediterranean Revival style, the
proposed porch railing on the connecting addition shall be constructed of
decorative ironwork rather than wood.
The specific design of the proposed second story windows on the modified
existing garage as the overall character and appearance of the garage's north
elevation will be subject to the administrative design review of the Historic
Preservation Planner, prior to the issuance of a building permit.
To better ensure that the proposed roofing materials are generally compatible
with the architectural style and overall character of this historic residence, the
final selection for roofing materials will be subject to the administrative review
and approval of the Historic Preservation Planner, prior to the issuance of a
building permit.
The applicant will obtain a building permit within one year of Certificate of
Appropriateness approval or this approval shall become null and void.
This project shall be constructed as approved and conditioned in the Certificate
of Appropriateness application. Any modifications to the submitted and
approved drawings shall invalidate the project's approval unless the applicant
submits the proposed modifications for review and approval by the Planning
Office prior to undertaking said modifications, as required by Section 18.62.040
of the Bozeman zoning ordinance.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Brown,
Commissioner Smiley, Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Frost and Mayor Youngman; those

Public hearing - Conditional Use Permit with Certificate of Appropriateness - Allied Engineering for
Gallatin Center Limited Partnership - allow construction of 8,584-square-foot restaurant which serves
alcoholic beverages on Lot 4, Gallatin Center Subdivision Planned Unit Development, Phase I {Johnny
Carino's Restaurant, 2159 Burke Street) (Z-01046)
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on a Conditional Use Permit with
Certificate of Appropriateness, as requested by Allied Engineering for the Gallatin Center Limited
Partnership under Application No. Z-01046, to allow the construction of an 8,584-square-foot
restaurant which serves alcoholic beverages on Lot 4, Gallatin Center Subdivision, Phase I. The
subject property is located at 2159 Burke Street and is to house Johnny Carino's Restaurant.
Mayor Youngman opened the public hearing.
Assistant Planner Jeff Monroe presented the staff report. He stated that under this application,
an 8,584-square-foot restaurant is to be constructed on a lot in the Gallatin Center which is slightly
06-04-2001
-7-
over two acres in size. He indicated that, in conjunction with this restaurant, the applicant proposes
to sell alcoholic beverages and to have less than fifteen gambling machines. Staff has reviewed this
application in light of the criteria set forth in the zone code, and staff's comprehensive findings are
contained in the written staff report. As a result of that review, staff is forwarding a recommendation
for approval, subject to several conditions.
Responding to Commissioner Brown, the Assistant Planner indicated the definition of a casino
is fifteen or more gambling machines and signage. Since the applicant is proposing less than fifteen
machines and no signage, it is not considered a casino under the City's zone code.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, the Assistant Planner stated the proposed access onto
Valley Center Drive is slightly over 250 feet from its intersection with North 19th Avenue. He noted
that, since Valley Center Drive is a State highway, the Montana Department of Transportation must
approve the access; however, it does meet the City's guidelines.
Planning Director Epple stated that staff, applicant and the developer of Gallatin Center met
with representatives from the Montana Department of Transportation today; and they will not approve
the requested access onto Valley Center Drive because of stacking at the intersection.
Mr. Gene Graf, developer, stated there are two accesses into the bank which is immediately
adjacent to this project. He noted that one of the recommended conditions requires the installation
of a stop sign for those leaving the parking lot for this restaurant and exiting onto one of those drives.
He asked that the proposed lantern lights be allowed on the exterior of the building, with darker glass
panels and possibly Iow wattage bulbs, because they are more in keeping with the style of the
building than a shielded light would be. He stated that only beer and wine will be sold in the
restaurant, not all alcoholic beverages. He concluded by asking that Condition No. 16 be modified
to allow for the access off Burke Street to conform with the requirements of the planned unit
development, which include a radius on the curves rather than straight access points.
Mr. Paul Ward, applicant, showed the Commissioners some pictures of the proposed lighting
fixtures which were taken at night. He stated the lanterns are decorative and add to the character
of the building. He noted that he and his wife are Bozeman natives and have been in the retail
business for twenty years, owning two different businesses in the Gallatin Valley Mall. He stated they
now want to focus on this restaurant, which serves Northern Italian cuisine in a family dining
atmosphere, with large portions at a moderate price.
Responding to Mayor Youngman, Mrs. Karen Ward, applicant, stated they are proposing the
installation of gambling machines to help offset the $230,000 cost of the beer and wine license.
In response to concerns voiced by Commissioner Frost, Planning Director Epple suggested that
Condition No. 6 could be revised to state "...shall be replaced, unless specifically approved by the
Administrative Design Review staff". He noted that, if staff finds the amber glass panels in the
lantern style light are dark enough to meet the intent of the code, they could allow those light fixtures
to remain rather than being replaced with shielded fixtures.
Mr. Dick Shanahan, architect, showed the Commission a color rendering of the building, along
with a sample board of the materials to be used. He stated that the total structure will be viewed
from various street frontages, and the standard design for this franchise has been revised to provide
attractive appearances from all streets as well as comply with the code requirements. He indicated
that the design also meets the covenants of the Gallatin Center. He noted that the materials to be
used on the building are common in the community, and allowing the lantern lights to remain will help
to make it a unique structure.
Mr. Chris Budeski, Allied Engineering, voiced concern about the type of driveway approach
required under Condition No. 16, noting it does not lend itself to commercial development. He asked,
rather, that the radius approach for the Gallatin Center development be allowed.
06-04-2001

Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, Planning Director Epple stated that improvements to
Valley Center Drive and North 19th Avenue are triggered with Phase II of Gallatin Center; and this
restaurant is located in Phase I.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, the Planning Director stated that smaller canopy street
trees are proposed for this site; and that is in keeping with the guidelines for development within this
planned unit development.
Responding to Commissioner Smiley, the Planning Director suggested that Condition No. 16
could be revised to read "...driveway approaches in accordance with ... or in accordance with the
adopted guidelines for Gallatin Center PUD, Phase 1". He indicated that this change in condition will
require a similar change in Condition No. 22.
Commissioner Frost reviewed alternative language for Condition No. 6, as provided by City
Attorney Luwe, which adds "and as specifically approved by the ADR staff" at the end of the
condition.
No one spoke in opposition to this proposed development.
Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Youngman closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Smiley, seconded by Commissioner Kirchhoff, that the
Conditional Use Permit with Certificate of Appropriateness, as requested by Allied Engineering for the
Gallatin Center Limited Partnership under Application No. Z-01046, to allow the construction of an
8-584-square-foot restaurant which serves alcoholic beverages on Lot 4, Gallatin Center Subdivision
Planned Unit Development, Phase I, be approved, subject to the following conditions:

the Gallatin Center PUD Guidelines, that a typical detail with specifications of
the trail improvements be provided on the site plan, and that written approval
of the trail corridor shall be obtained from the Bozeman Planning Department
prior to final site plan approval.
Stormwater runoff retention ponds may not be permitted in the greenway
corridor or any required yard setback unless they are designed in an organic
form and do not exceed a maximum slope of 1:4 or a maximum depth of 1 ~
feet and are reviewed and approved by the Planning Office prior to final site
plan approval.
Cash-in-lieu of water rights must be paid ($2,381.50) before final site plan
approval.
All landscape areas shall be grass turf unless otherwise specifically noted on the
landscape plan. The greenway corridor shall be seeded with a drought resistant
"native grass" as outlined in Section 18.54.110.F.l.b of the zoning ordinance
and all retention ponds located in the required yard setbacks shall be
landscaped with grass turf or other similar live vegetation, and not washed
gravel or other similar organic rock, unless approved by the Planning Office prior
to final site plan approval.

(10) Director of Public Service Debbie Arkell noted that the "no parking" signs were removed
from North Wallace Avenue on Wednesday; and Jerry Perkins, Karst Stage, has called to voice
concerns that parking on both sides of the street makes it difficult for buses to enter or exit the
parking lot. As a result, he has requested that no parking be allowed in front of his business for the
safety of those cars. She stated that Engineering Assistant Andy Kerr has reviewed the site and
concurs with that request; as a result, she is seeking authority to restrict parking on the west side of
the street adjacent to Karst Stage.
After discussion, the Commissioners agreed that Mr. Perkins should meet with the
neighborhood to see if an agreeable solution can be reached.
(11) Director of Public Service Arkell stated that perpendicular parking is occurring on both
North Wallace Avenue and East Cottonwood Street. She noted that the Bozeman Municipal Code
allows perpendicular parking only if the area is signed for such parking; and staff suggests that the
parking officer be sent to that area to personally notify the drivers, rather than simply sending letters
or ticketing the cars. She concluded by stating she has written a letter regarding the encroachments
at the truss plant; and she plans to personally visit the business owners rather than simply sending
the letter.
(12) Director of Public Service Arkell reminded the Commissioners that petitions for creation
of lighting districts have been received for both Ferguson Meadows and Allison Subdivision, Phase
II, as required under the conditions for plat approval for those subdivisions. She noted that the City
has also executed agreements with Montana Power Company for installation of those lights; and
creation of those districts is now needed.
Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, the Director of Public Service stated the type, spacing
and wattage of those lights is included in the executed agreements.
(13) The Director of Public Service provided a brief update on water usage, noting that
Hyalite Lake is full, and Sourdough Creek is running close to what it was at this time last year. She
then provided comparisons between the amount of water treated during the past week for both this
year and last year, concluding by noting that the amount treated was consistently 2 to 3 million
gallons more per day this year than for the same day last year. She stated the Water Treatment Plant
personnel are monitoring the water levels on a daily basis, and if they identify problems, the first step
will be education, followed by odd/even watering restrictions if necessary. She indicated the
educational efforts could include newspaper ads and possibly a coordinated television effort with
Butte.
Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, the Director of Public Service stated that about 50
percent of the City's water usage is from Hyalite Reservoir, with the remainder coming from
Sourdough Creek. She then indicated that Lyman Creek will not be back on line this year, but
hopefully will be for next year.
(14) Director of Public Service Arkell stated that she and Planning Director Epple met with
several developers in the North 19th Avenue corridor today to discuss future development and the
timing of road improvements.

Cooper completed his initial research on big box stores; and he has requested additional research and

opportunity to appear before the Commission next week to make another presentation and hopefully
gain support through the signing of a proclamation. The Commissioners indicated a willingness to
listen to their presentation.
(19) Commissioner Smiley announced that the Gallatin County Trails Advisory Board has
finished eighteen months of categorizing trails and preparing maps, which are now available on CD.
She indicated that this information is to be posted on the City's web site; and the next step will be
for the County to create a formal board responsible for getting the trails built.
(20) Responding to Commissioner Brown, City Manager Johnson stated the Beall Parks Arts
Center has approached him about a five-year extension of their lease. He noted that he has met with
them and will be bringing forward a lease agreement for Commission consideration which includes
increased rent and maintenance responsibilities.
(21) Mayor Youngman stated that a presentation on the living wage is scheduled for next
Monday evening. She suggested that both this issue and the smoke free ordinance be submitted to
the Community Mediation Center (CMC) for facilitated discussion after the initial presentations to the
Commission, noting that this process could result in a more widely accepted document being
submitted to the Commission for consideration.
City Attorney Luwe cautioned that he has not had an opportunity to look at the living wage
ordinance that has been prepared and submitted to the Commission for consideration. He asked that
his staff be given an opportunity to research the issues and prepare the ordinance for Commission
action.
(22) Director of Public Service Arkell announced that a public hearing has been scheduled
for 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 12, on the proposed designs for improvements to South 19th
Avenue and its intersection with West Main Street.
(23) Mr. Nick Hines, 1114 South 6th Avenue, voiced concerns about the lack of recycling
opportunities in Bozeman, and suggested that a curbside recycling program could be beneficial even
though it may not be cost effective.
Following Mayor Youngman's response, during which she identified the various recycling
options available and the efforts of the Headwaters Recycling program, Director of Public Service
Arkell indicated a willingness to discuss the issue further with Mr. Hines.
Break - 8:35 p.m. to 8:40 p.m.
Mayor Youngman declared a break from 8:35 p.m. to 8:40 p.m.,

Executive session re litigation
Mayor Youngman announced her intent to close the meeting and enter into executive session,
under Section 2-3-203(4), M.C.A., for the purpose of discussing litigation, noting that if the issue
were discussed in open meeting, it would have a detrimental effect on the litigating position of the
City.
At 8:40 p.m., Mayor Youngman called an executive session for the purpose of discussing
litigation strategy and asked all of the persons except the City Manager, City Attorney, Staff Attorney
and Clerk of the Commission to leave the room.
At 9:50 p.m., Mayor Youngman closed the executive session and reconvened the open
meeting.
