REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Rick Hixson, City Engineer
Kellen Gamradt, Engineer II
SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Protests for Special Improvement District (SID) No.
739 and Adoption of Resolution 4762 - a resolution of the Bozeman City Commission
to create SID No. 739 for the purpose of undertaking certain local improvements to
East Olive Street between South Black and South Church Avenue, and South Church
Avenue between East Babcock and East Olive Street and financing the costs thereof.
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
MEETING DATE: February 27, 2017
RECOMMENDED MOTION: After hearing all protests, and finding them to be insufficient
under law to bar further proceedings, I hereby move to adopt Resolution 4762 creating Special
Improvement District No. 739 for the purpose of undertaking certain local improvements to East
Olive Street between South Black and South Church Avenue, and South Church Avenue
between East Babcock and East Olive Street and financing the costs thereof.
BACKGROUND: At its January 23, 2017 meeting the City Commission adopted Resolution
4761, declaring it to be the intention of the City Commission to create Special Improvement
District (SID) No. 739, for the purpose of undertaking certain local improvements to East Olive
Street between South Black and South Church Avenue, and South Church Avenue between East
Babcock and East Olive Street and financing the costs thereof. In accordance with Montana
Code Annotated (MCA) Title 7-12 Part 41, notice of the passage of this Resolution was made on
January 29, 2017 and February 5, 2017. This established the "Protest Period" as January 29,
2017 to February 13, 2017 at 5:00 PM.
Pursuant to Section 7-12-4113, MCA, no further proceedings may be taken on creation of a
Special Improvement District if the Commission finds protest has been made by the owners of
property in the district to be assessed for more than 50% of the cost of the proposed work.
Within the Protest Period, protests were filed with the City Clerk by the property owners of two
parcels, representing 3.8% percent of the total costs of the improvements to be assessed
against properties in the District, as proposed.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The total estimated costs of the improvements are $933,000. The City has
committed $793,050 from the Street Maintenance District fund to reduce the costs to the SID,
161
leaving $139,950 of the costs to be funded by the district. In addition, the district will be
responsible for an estimated $1,000 in incidental costs related to the creation of the district for a
total of $140,950. Based on the recommended method of assessment, that is, lot frontage, for a
typical residential lot with 65 ft. of frontage, the total estimated assessment would be $3,111.44.
These costs would be financed over 20 years. At the current estimated interest rate of 1.5%, a
typical residence would be assessed approximately $180.65 annually, equivalent to
$15.05/month.
The City’s Special Improvement District (SID) Revolving Fund has cash in excess of the
statutorily required amount (10% of our outstanding SID debt). This excess will be used to
underwrite the SID costs; the Revolving Fund will loan the District the money, rather than have a
bond sale. The City used this type of underwriting for the Story Street and Wallace SID, also.
This has a number of benefits: 1. Lower interest rate for the District property owners, 2.
Avoidance of the costs and time-consuming work of underwriting and bond sale, 3. Revolving
Fund will be “paid back” as property owners make their payments over time, with interest.
The City’s SID Revolving Fund has total cash of $2.9 million. State law requires the fund to
have a balance of $112,070. Proceeding to underwrite this project, cash will immediately be
decreased by $140,950. Beginning in November, annual assessments will be paid back into the
fund. Over the life of the loan, the Revolving Fund will receive approximately $22,700 in
interest earnings. These earnings can be used to underwrite other projects in the future –
growing our ability to complete SID projects.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of
Bozeman, Montana, as follows:
Section 1
Passage of Resolution of Intention. This Commission, on January 23, 2017, adopted the
Resolution of Intention, pursuant to which this Commission declared its intention to create the

Protests. Within the Protest Period, protests were filed with the City Clerk by the property
owners of two parcels, representing 3.8% percent of the total costs of the Improvements to be
assessed against properties in the District, as proposed.
Section 4
Creation of the District; Insufficiency of Protests. The Commission determines the District
is hereby created on the terms and conditions set forth herein and otherwise in accordance
with the Resolution of Intention, as modified hereby. The protests against the creation of
the District or the making of the Improvements filed during the Protest Period are hereby
found to be insufficient. The findings and determinations made in the Resolution of Intention,
including, without limitation, those relating to benefits conferred, costs associated with the
borrowing of funds from the City's special improvement district revolving fund, and for the
creation and administration of the District, are hereby ratified and confirmed.
Section 5
Reimbursement Expenditures.
5.01. Declaration of Intent. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures
made for costs of the Improvements out of the proceeds of the Loan from the City's
special improvement district revolving loan fund in an estimated maximum aggregate
principal amount of $140,950.00 after the date of payment of all or a portion of the costs
of the Improvements. All reimbursed expenditures shall be capital expenditures, a cost
of issuance of the Loan, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement.
The Commission intends to assess the District to reimburse the special improvement
district revolving loan fund in an amount equal to the principal of the Loan of
$140,950.00 to the District plus interest at approximately 1.5% annually. Over the 20-
year term of the Loan from the revolving fund to the District, interest earnings of up to
$22,722 are estimated to be paid from the District property owners and deposited to
165
Resolution 4762, Creation of SID 739 - 2017 Street Reconstruction of East Olive and Portions of Church
Page 4 of 5
the special improvement district revolving fund. In addition to reimbursing the
revolving fund on interest the revolving fund would otherwise earn, these interest
earnings are intended to satisfy any revolving fund contribution from the district
that may be required under 7-12-4222(l)(b), MCA.
5.02. Budgetary Matters. As of the date hereof, there are no City funds reserved,
allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside (or reasonably expected to be
reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside) to provide permanent
financing for the expenditures related to the Improvements, other than pursuant to
the Loan from the City's special improvement district revolving loan fund. The
statement of intent contained in this resolution, therefore, is determined to be
consistent with the City's budgetary and financial circumstances as they exist or are
reasonably foreseeable on the date hereof.
5.03. Reimbursement Allocations. The City's financial officer shall be responsible
for making the "reimbursement allocations" described in the Resolution of Intention
being generally the transfer of the appropriate amount of proceeds of the Loan to
reimburse the source of temporary financing used by the City to make prior payment
of the costs of the Improvements. Each allocation shall be evidenced by an entry
on the official books and records of the City maintained for the Loan or the
Improvements and shall specifically identify the actual original expenditure being
reimbursed.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Commission of the City of
Bozeman, Montana, at a regular session thereof held on the 27th
day of February, 2017.
