draw up a form of joint agreement providing therein all matters required by applicable statutes,
and further setting forth in such agreement all other authorized provisions as may be necessary
or oonvenient. '!he form of agreement to further provide for renewal at the end of each year by
concurrent action of the two governing bodies if there are no ohanges in the terms, end provid-
ing further that if there are such changes. a new agreement should be prepared. Due to the fact
:{'J
" ,
that the amount to be raised by taxes for the fiscal year 1955-56 was approximately
$1,190.00, the Ci~ Commissioners agreed to deposit in the joint fUnd during the next
fisoal year, the amount of $500.00. On motion made by Commissioner Stucky and seoonded by
Commissioner Cramer and unanimously carried, the Board of County Commissioners aocepted
the proposed amount of $500.00, considering the fact that it was approximately one-half the
I amount to be raised by taxation."
Reference is made to the minutes of the special meeting of the City Commission held on July 28,
1955. It is directed by the City Commission that the minutes of the meeting now in session show that,
at the meeting on July 28th the County Commiesioners presented a proposed "Airport" Budget totaling
$34,346.00 of which $2,715.64 would be required to be raised from taxes. The proposal made by the
City, which was accepted by the County Commissioners, was that the Ci~ will make a flat payment,
from receipts of taxes levied in 1955, to the Airport Fund of Gallatin County, of Five hundred
Dollars a8 its proportionate share of the 1955-56 budget for Gallatin Field. This offer and acceptance
was made without any referenoe as to the percentage it would represent of the total budget and it
should definitely not be construed as setting any precedent as to any proportionate share of the
budget for Gallatin Field which the Ci~ of Bozeman should pay in addition to what its citizens
regularly pay through their share of the levy made by Gallatin County for its Airport Fund.
