06:09:31 PM (00:10:20)Jan Strout, Public Comment
Jan Straut was with the Gallatin Friends of Cuba and thought that this was great way to address the
secretary deputy ambassador of Cuba's visit. For the past 20-25 years equal pay for equal work was in
the Cuban constitution.Along with paid family leave and prohibitions against discrimination against
gender, race,and sexual orientation. Cuba offers another options to consider and explore.This visit
signified the first time diplomatic staff of Cuba and the U.S.were able to travel in over a decade.
06:12:42 PM (00:13:32)Hans Deernfelt Public Comment
Thanked the Mayor for his proclamation in welcoming the Deputy Secretary Fraga.This was an important
step to build relations between citizens in Montana and Cuba. From an economic and educational
standpoint Montana was poised to have the potentially the most prosperous relationship with Cuba,more
so than with any other state.The opportunities were numerous;from tourism,shared cultural values and
the arts. The opportunities were numerous between the two nations that could lead to an era of
prosperity,growth, and mutual respect.
06:14:32 PM (00:15:22)Doug Wells,Public Comment
Stated that he appreciated this opportunity to come and talk in regards to Fraga as a musician.
Normalization has been way over due and this was a great way to building relationships.There were
musicians from all over in support of creating relationships with Cuba.
06:16:38 PM (00:17:27)Margarita McClargy, Public Comment
Recognized that the city commission was trying to do the right thing with this proclamation but found it
too bland and insufficient. Concerns about immigration raids were discussed Sanctuary cities were safer
and expressed concern about people being hauled away from their families due to immigration raids.
Community dialogue about what is going on in our communities was requested.
06:19:20 PM (00:20:10)Dr. Edwardo Duran,Public Comment
Stated that he is a veteran and himself with other veterans the reason they served was to make this a
sanctuary country. Asked that if the commission decided to keep the proclamation addressed as a

welcome, that there be a caveat that you are welcome at your own risk. Wanted to offer a spiritual
understanding of where Bozeman as being sacred land comes from. This land where we are was known
as valley of the flowers. As the hostilities grew a spirit asked people to stop and asked people not to be
violence and asked the city make this as a social political sanctuary for anyone who lives here and anyone
who wants to come visit here.
06:22:20 PM (00:23:09)Patty Dickerson,Public Comment
Did not feel that the proclamation was enough.The enforcement that currently existed did not not do
enough to address the concerns of those that have children in the schools and asked that the
commission consider making Bozeman a sanctuary city.
06:24:34 PM (00:25:24)Don McLarty,Public Comment
Would like this to be claimed as a sanctuary city because we have a history of witch hunts because of the
is
lies of others. Mr. McLarty read a quote to the commission that spoke to not speaking out on an issue
because a situation doesn't personally affect that person. Mr. McLarty stated that this quote could be
used in many different ways to scapegoat things that are going on now and requested that Bozeman
consider becoming a sanctuary city. Mr. McLarty did not want to see families lives destroyed due to the
absence of a sanctuary city.
06:29:15 PM (00:30:05)Steve Kirchoff,Public Comment
Asked the commission to adopt a resolution to declare Bozeman as a sanctuary city. He realized that these
types of meeting could be often times difficult and emotions could run high. However he felt that
recognizing those difficulties were important to weigh the difficulty of the experience versus the value of
the statement. We all live in the same place and this issue was personal and would hazard to guess that
there were more people who were known as an immigrants that not. He hoped that this meeting would
occur. t
06:32:28 PM (00:33:18)Daniel Larson, Public Comment
Stated that he appreciated the proclamation that the Mayor gave. There needed to be a reorganization
of the fact that the absence of laws by the commission needed to be clearer. The statue that talks about
losing federal money would not apply to the city of Bozeman.A measure needed to be passed and defined
more clearly.
06:36:03 PM (00:36:53)Keagan Noshion,Public Comment
Stated that she spent a lot of time working with refuges and would ask the commission to consider making
the City of Bozeman a sanctuary city. This word would mean a lot to have this as a sanctuary city. She
talked about a refuge teenager that she knew who would like to come to America in order to know what
it meant to give the type of hope that she experienced.
06:38:39 PM (00:39:29)Debora McKas, Public Comment
Stated that it was nice to see the chief of police and Mayor stand for the values that Bozeman embodies;
respect,diversity,quality and kindness.This proclamation was a platitude but being a sanctuary city would
Page 5 of 13

i
I�.
Bozeman City Commission Minutes,February 13,2017
be more of a commitment to these values. In a next door neighborhood post,she found that about 2/3 of
the people that she knew supported the city as a sanctuary city. Others were against a sanctuary city.
Education needs to happen so that people can have a constructive conversation about having a sanctuary
city.

In March, community development would have drafts of the UDC and Design standards.There would be
internal works on these drafts. This would then be presented to the community and then to the

2. 07:00:03 PM (01:00:52) City Manager Recommendation on Regulations for Mobile Vending
and Commission Direction (Kukulski) , G
07:00:23 PM (01:01:13)Staff presentation
City Manager Chris Kukulski gave a presentation on mobile vending. There was a deliberate absence of a
draft ordinance. The goal was to have an opportunity to hear public feedback from the public as well as
the commission.There had been an attempt to get clarity about what policy would be beneficial to both
mobile vendors and brick and motor restaurants. The protection of public health, general public safety
and welfare was at the core of creating these regulations. Benefits were discussed, concerns, parking,
regulations, fees, location, hours (6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.), requirements (licenses), and considerations
were discussed.
The city manager talked about locations where mobile vending would be prohibited (in B2 and B3 zoning
districts, mobile vendors may operate from 6:00 a.m.to 2:30 a.m., except that on Main Street between
Church Avenue and Grand Avenue mobile vendors may only operate from 6:00 a.m.to 10:00 a.m. and
9:00 p.m.to 2:30 a.m.The time limitation for Main Street is not applicable to a sidewalk vending cart as
defined in 34.05.020 which has been issued a sidewalk encroachment permit by the city and presents to
the city the written authorization of the owner of the property in front of which the sidewalk vending
cart intends to operate). Operational guidelines such as sales made toward sidewalks and away from the
right away was discussed. Exclusive use permits were discussed (mobile vendors cannot park where
exclusive use permits currently exist).
Mobile vending units must not be longer than 36 feet and utilities must be self-contained. Fee structure
(if approved)would be$25 for a business license,$225 for additional inspections, and$250 for operating
downtown.

07:18:44 PM (01:19:34) questions for Staff
CR Pomeroy asked what kind of restrictions the city could impose on food trucks and the width.
Staff stated public safety, health and general welfare. As far as width,state law states that the truck could
be no wider than 102 inches.These regulations also go for non-food trucks
CR Pomeroy asked the chief of police about the 9:30pm to tam and the issues of night hours when the
weather got nicer.There were no real issues that law enforcement saw.
DM Andrus asked about the recommended hours of 6:00 a.m. - 11p.m. and the reasons for them.
The City Manager stated that Main Street had the benefit of 11k vehicles a day running through Main
Street. Parking would be tight during those hours and based on a parking study, an 85% threshold on
parking capacity the city should manage that issue better. Peak times and congestion and safety were
what lead to recommended operating times
s
DM Andrus asked about parking on private property.The city managergave an example where the vendor
i
on private property had not created a problem as far as accessibility for a business.Staff sated that if there
was a problem generated a site plan modification could be asked for and granted if the site still functioned
as normal. Otherwise there would be a zoning violation. Fees were discussed in detail.
CR Mehl asked about Babcock and Mendenhall;why they did not have a similar time consideration being 1
narrow streets. The city manager stated that the traffic volume as a main consideration was lower. Staff
stated they wanted to spread business north and south to free up congestion on Main Street.
Mayor Taylor asked if they would need to pay fees to the city health department. Staff stated yes that
was correct. An additional valuation fee would be assed as well. A clarification was asked regarding what
60 decibels sounded like for noise compliance. The city manager stated that 60 decibels would be like a
generator that campers use. Noise regulations have a limit with music and they need to follow the current
nuisance laws. Agreements between food trucks and brick and motor restaurants was discussed.
07:39:02 PM (01:39:52) Recess
Mayor Taylor declared a commission recess until 10 minutes to 8. l

Mayor Taylor opened public comment.
07:50:47 PM (01:51:37)Marley McKenna, Public Comment
Stated that she appreciated the time and consideration taken on this.The parameters of the hours were
really positive and felt that there was an impact on parking on the side streets. Parking and safety was
extremely important. Enforcing hours were needed. Traffic flow needed to be taken into consideration.
07:53:59 PM (01:54:48)Bobs Noel, Public Comment
Public Safety and health was discussed as well as parking. Mary Vant Hulls words were spoken to the
commission about her ideas on ordinance enforcement.

Bozeman City Commission Minutes,February 13,2017
07:56:22 PM (01:57:12)Mark Bannhman,Public Comment
Wondered when parking became okay to use privately for mobile vending. Exclusive use permits were
discussed. Was the city willing to incur after hour health inspections? More discussion needs to be done.
07:59:13 PM (02:00:03)KelsyShurg, Public Comment
Owns a merchandise truck and stated that as a fashion truck she agreed that they needed to be
regulated but felt that retail was different than food.The 10-9 slot would effect a retail clothing hour.
Asked for an amendment for retail specifically in order to recognize that merchandise trucks operated
differently than food trucks.
08:01:31 PM (02:02:21)David Josef,Public Comment
There was a study done on property taxes.The only way to pay property taxes, brick and motor stores
pay more to the city in order to have the parking needed for their businesses. When do people use the
parking spaces during peak hours?This issue came up when businesses need these spaces and how
many are utilized.
08:06:15 PM (02:07:05)Joe Cobb,Public Comment
Asked the city how they planned to handle 2 hour parking violations and if it had been discussed? If a
mobile vendor parked in front of their business was there a concern for public safety or warfare?Was it
okay for a truck to take up two parking spots?Was the city contradicting codes that were already in
place?These are questions posed to staff and the commission.
08:08:36 PM (02:09:26) Public Comment Closed
Mayor Taylor closed public comment.
08:08:44 PM (02:09:34)Questions of Staff
DM Andrus asked about commercial vehicle parking restrictions. Staff stated that commercial vehicles
had to comply with all parking restrictions. A question was also asked about food trucks only paying for
parking tickets and staying in place.Staff stated that they have heard that this was happening.There were
conversations where had with mobile vendors about this issue.
CR Pomeroy asked about side streets and how the issue of food trucks parking in the customers' parking
spot.Staff stated that there was currently no regulations on side streets however,the new proposed rules
would have mobile vendors adhering to the parking rules.
CR Mehl asked staff to respond to the scenario of a food truck parking into a restaurants' encroachment
area. The city attorney stated that congestion on the sidewalk was looked at and discussed. It was
recommended that a need to maintain a clear path of pedestrian traffic.
Mayor Taylor asked about encroachments and public safety.The city recognized that he property owner
gave exclusive use to the encroachment space. Parking to hold a space before opening was asked and
discussed. Compliance with all parking regulations was something that staff stressed needed to happen
but recognized that it would evolve with the current changes in downtown. The city attorney gave an
explanation of the difference between exclusive use and encroachment permits and how the plan was
drawn up.

CR Mehl stated that this was a good approach when and where mobile vending was allowed in terms of
the recommendations.
DM Andrus thanked everyone who tried to have a discussion about this as well as staff who worked on
this. The choices were to do nothing or they could decide to approve the recommendation by the city
manager.She would approve them because so much time has been put into drafting this.This was a good
compromise and starting place.As the liaison to the parking commission, parking was a work in progress.
f:
Surface lots was something that she would like to see back at the parking commission.
Mayor Taylor stated that he failed to see the difference between encroachments and exclusive use
permits. Asked for an amendment to include language of encroachments in the same place as the
exclusive use permits. Health inspections and looking at parking with the parking commission was
discussed.
CR Pomeroy stated that she understood both sides of food trucks and restaurants. And asked staff to
amend the motion to come back after one year of study how it affects current restaurants. k
CR Mehl asked there be two suggested changes;one to require a report to come in a year from the time
of enactment to give the community time to adapt to it.
