CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET MESSAGE
June 24th, 2014
Bozeman City Commission:
I am pleased to present the Approved Budget for Fiscal Year 2014-2015 (FY15), effective
July 1, 2014.
This year, creation of the budget recommendation has been influenced by a handful of
recent events that have financial impacts for the City. First and foremost, significant
development and construction activities are once again growing the number of families,
workers, and businesses within the City. This growth drives increasing workloads in
Community Development, Engineering, and Building Inspection, Water/Sewer Operations
(water and sewer service lines), Information Technology and GIS Divisions, Street
Maintenance, and utility clerks, as we bring these new properties on-line with City
services. Fiscal Year 2015 marks the third and final payment the City owes to the Montana
Municipal Interlocal Authority (MMIA) for the Delaney judgment. And, we continue to
work to fulfill our obligations as a "good neighbor" at the Story Mill Landfill. Striking the
right balance between the financial plans and funding these three items alone has been a
challenging task.
We also look ahead with excitement about what will be accomplished with the Trails Open
Space and Parks (TOPs) bond funds and are hopeful about our plans for voter-approval of a
new Police and Court facility this fall.
All-in-all, this is the first year our City's budget has exceeded the $100 Million dollar mark;
budgeted expenditures across all funds total over $108 Million.
Commission Goals and the Approved Budget
The City Commission recently updated its priorities for the coming months. Below we have
described the priorities and how this Approved Budget seeks to address them:
2014 - 2015 Adopted Priorities
1. Story Mill Landfill Project
In October of 2012,the City, as part of ongoing monitoring efforts, detected volatile organic
compounds (VOC's) in the soil at the Story Mill landfill. A loan to the City for$2.135 million has
been approved by the State Revolving Loan Fund in order to identify and put in place a system
to limit the migration of VOCs off the landfill.The program provided a 20-year loan at 3%annual
interest,secured by the City's Stormwater Fund. Approved Budget: The budget includes $1.7
City of Bozeman 9 FY15 Approved Budget
million for engineering and construction of the system. Also, a tax levy dedication of 1.57 mills
($140,000)for repayment of the loan is included in this budget.
During 2013,the city installed numerous mitigation systems in homes near the landfill.
Subsequent testing has shown these systems to be effective. The city continues to address
claims filed by property owners in this matter. At this time, insurance coverage is uncertain;
however, based on the claims as presented, we believe the city's insurers will be required to
provide a defense and coverage. Approved Budget: This budget includes spending$525,000
with an anticipated reimbursement of FY14 and FY15 defense costs of$646,000.
To date, our investigation, mitigation, and other costs have been paid from the Post-Closure
Mitigation and Monitoring fund. The sale of the North Park industrial property in the coming
months could replenish this fund and assist in future legal, project, and ongoing monitoring
costs. Without reimbursement of defense costs or the Sale of North Park,the Post Closure
Mitigation and Monitoring fund will have a negative balance of approximately($400,000) by the
end of FY15. At this time,we have not included any projected budget amounts related to the
Sale of North Park. However, at final budget time,there may be more information concerning
the likelihood of sale.
2. Police & Municipal Courts Building
This spring we have been working to complete the land exchange with the Montana
Department of Transportation (MDOT) and finish developmental design of this critical building.
Previous budgets have approved $1.75 Million for these steps. In November 2014, we will be
asking the voters to approve approximately$22 Million in General Obligation bonds plus an
operations levy to build the facility and operate into the future.Approved Budget: The budget
includes$28,400 in election costs,which will cover the amount necessary for the bond
election this fall. The budget assumes voter approval and includes$22 Million in bond
revenues and construction expenditures for this project. (Any authorized tax levies would
begin in the next budget year, FY16.)
3. Transportation System
The City's network of streets, sidewalks, and intersections continues to be a significant concern.
In the developing areas of the City, expansion and completion of the system is a hurdle; in the
older areas of town, reconstruction and replacement are our pressing tasks. In either case,the
financial resources that we have available are not sufficient—and are a mixed bag of numerous
different taxes, assessments, and fees. Bringing all of this together into an integrated, efficient
system of maintenance and construction is a considerable challenge.
City of Bozeman 10 FY15 Approved Budget
Approved Budget contains:
Expiration of the 1995 G.O.Transportation Bond debt service: When originally approved,
voters paid over 14 mills/year. As the community grew,the annual payment decreased to 5
mills. The last principal and interest payment on this bond was completed in fiscal year 2014.
Going forward,there will be no tax levy for this bond.
New! Proposed Street Local Share Tax Levy: With the expiration of the 1995 G.O.
Transportation bond, we have included from our general tax authority(within our existing
levy cap) 5 mills-$445,000 for the local portion of street intersections. This will net with the
reduced bond levy and appear as"no change"to the property tax payer. From this money,
we have budgeted to spend $300,000 for the local share of the intersection control at Baxter
& Davis Lane. Future intersections were included in the Capital Improvements Plan and
include: Main & Broadway, Ferguson & Durston, and Ferguson and Babcock.
Street Reconstruction: $50,000 dedicated to spot repair of street curbs, and $650,000 for
street and curb replacement projects. We anticipate that this project will be an SID/Street
Maintenance combination, similar to Story Street. The specific project will be identified based
on the pavement condition assessment.
Street Impact Fees: $100,000 for right of way acquisition, $200,000 for the expansion of
Cottonwood (Babcock to Oak St.), $125,000 to update the Transportation Plan, $100,000 for
the expansion of Ferguson (Baxter to Oak St.), $275,000 for the expansion of South 11th Ave
(Opportunity to Arnold St.), and $450,000 for intersection control at Baxter& Davis Lane.
Increase in Street Maintenance Assessments of 10%for a general revenue increase of
$300,000, including adding$200,000/year for pavement maintenance (chip seals, overlay,
patching.)
4. Trails & Open Space Bond
In November 2012, city voters approved $15 Million in General Obligation bonds to fund Trail,
Open Space, and Park (TOP) projects. In December 2013, we issued $9.9M of those bonds.
Since that time, nearly$14 Million has been allocated to specific projects through a TOP
application process. We will be working over the coming months to complete land acquisition
and project construction. Approved Budget: We anticipate issuing the remaining$5.1 Million
bonds in FY15 to complete the funding of approved projects. We also have budgeted to
expend the full $15 Million by the end of the fiscal year. The tax levy for FY15 includes the
debt service owing on $9.9 Million. (Debt service owing on the addition $5.1 Million will be
added to the tax rolls in FY16.)
City of Bozeman 11 FY15 Approved Budget
5. Storm water Utility
In 2012 the city created its Storm Water Utility. During the last two years, we have been
working to identify assessment methodologies, infrastructure locations and conditions, and
develop a funding plan for future storm water improvements. Recently, the Commission heard
the Public Works Department's recommendation for funding operations and storm water
improvements. This recommendation included changing our current "meter-sized" assessment
method to a more equitable "impervious surface" method. Approved Budget: This budget
includes increasing the Storm water Program to our"bronze level"funding of$1.2 Million
annually, beginning mid-year, once an impervious surface assessment method can be adopted.
From July—December,we will be funding our current"basic program" and developing the
impervious surface data layer.
6. Family Aquatics Center
Previous studies have identified the limited life-span of Bogert pool,the city's only public
outdoor swimming pool. The FY14 budget contained $125,000 to begin the design of a
replacement for Bogert Pool. The Commission also set aside, in reserve, $225,000 for additional
design work. Approved Budget:This budget appropriates the $225,000 from reserves for
expenditure in FY15, so that a voter-approved bond measure could be considered in the future.
Significant changes during the past 12 months
Continued Growth in Construction Sector. Our Building Inspection division has seen
strong permit issuance over the past 12 months.

While never completely stopping, building construction significantly slowed during the recession. For
the current fiscal year to date (July-April),the total value of Building Permits for New Construction is
City of Bozeman 12 FY15 Approved Budget
136%of the same time frame during the previous year. We have added building inspection staff and
outside contracts mid-year to keep up workload demands.
Increased Citizen Participation with Online City Hall Budget Forum. Online
City Hall is a new interactive tool for citizens to provide feedback to the City on a variety of topics. The
forum was installed this past year as a way to utilize social media features to "welcome citizen
involvement",furthering our core value of Teamwork.
We specifically asked for citizens to rank responses to: "How would you prioritize the City Manager's
recommended budget?" Approximately 130 people viewed the forum, with 40 making priority lists.
This equates to roughly 2 hours of public comment, if it were to have been made during a public
meeting. Considering that we rarely have more than 3-5 people commenting at a budget hearing, the
forum provided significantly more input on the budget than we have received during past years.
Forum responders were asked to rank the following six priorities. The average priorities, in order,were:
1. Transportation System Upgrades
2. Economic Development
3. Emphasis on Cleaning and Improving our Storm Water System
4. Police/Municipal Courts Building
5. Improve Technology
6. Sustainability and Reduction of Green-House Gas Emissions
7. Family Aquatics Center
Energy Saving Projects. The FY14 budget funded an in-depth audit of City buildings and
facilities for potential energy savings. The firm McKinstry was selected as the energy performance
contractor for this assessment. They have very recently delivered a preliminary report that outlines a
number of energy-saving projects and identifies estimated "payback" periods, where energy savings will
cover the costs of the improvements. They also expect to issue another report in the fall that will add
projects to the analysis that couldn't be considered due to time constraints this spring. The budget
contains over$516,000 in funding for the following projects, based on McKinstry's reports:
1. Street Lighting LED retro-fit Project ($226,000)
2. Parking Garage LED Lighting Project (up to $200,000)
3. Senior Center Facility and Hot Water System Project ($22,000)
4. Water Reclamation Facility Lighting Project ($18,000)
Last Year for MMIA Settlement payments. In December 2009,the Montana Supreme
Court ruled against the City in our appeal of Delaney v. City of Bozeman. At issue was the City's
purchase of the Mandeville Farm property in 2003. Delaney was awarded $3 Million. The City and
MMIA sought judicial determination on the amounts owed by each party. In April 2012, a District Court
in Helena determined that the City owed the full amount. The City filed an appeal with the Montana
Supreme Court. Prior to a determination by the Court, the City and MMIA settled the case. Under the
terms of the settlement,the City needed to pay the MMIA a total of$2 Million. FY15 marks the third
City of Bozeman 13 FY15 Approved Budget
and final payment of approximately$675,000 to the MMIA.
City Voters do not approve Study Commission in June 2014. The Recommended
Budget included revenues and expenditures related to the potential voter-approval of a Local
Government Study Commission. On June 3rd, city voters opted not to approve the measure. As a
result,the program is not included in this Approved Budget.
Gallatin College received voter support. On November 4th, 2013, Gallatin County voters
passed a modest property tax increase to support and expand job-training and two-year education at
Gallatin College.The 1.5 mill levy will cost a median home owner$4.15/year, raising$370,000/year to
support the College.This levy also fulfills a requirement set by the Montana Board of Regents in 2010
when the board approved putting the MSU-Bozeman campus in charge of the two-year program. As
result of voter approval,the City is no longer budgeting 1.5 mills out of our all purpose levy/general fund
this year.
2013 Bond Rating held at Aa3. Moody's Investors Service assigned an Aa3 rating to the
City of Bozeman's General Obligation Bonds, Series 2013, expected to be issued in the amount of$9.9
million. As of November 22, 2013, Moody's affirmed the Aa3 rating on the city's previously issued
general obligation debt totaling$13.36 million.The current offering is secured by the city's full faith,
credit, and unlimited property tax pledge.
Moody's identified strengths for the city as: 1) Bozeman's moderately sized tax base that did not
decline during the recession; 2) our recent wealth measures from the American Community Survey
indicate a solid improvement in wealth; 3) Montana State University provides a stable employer base
and institutional presence, and 4) Low debt burden. They saw the City's Challenges as: 1) our draw
down of reserve levels due to one-time litigation payouts (MMIA Settlement) and 2) our moderate
taxpayer concentration risk(the top ten taxpayers comprise approximately 10%of our tax base.)
Moody's stated that our bond rating would move down if there were: 1) protracted decline in the city's
taxable valuation, or 2) a sustained trend of deteriorated financial operations. They stated that our
bond rating would move up if there were: 1) significant improvement in the city's financial position
from current year(FY14) levels, or 2) continued growth in the city's full valuation combined with solid
expansion of local economy.
We expect our next rating to occur in November 2014 for the issuance of the next Trails, Open Space
and Parks bond series.
2013 Refinance of Water &Wastewater System Loans Saves over $3
Million. The City has outstanding loans with the Montana Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation (DNRC)to finance the construction of the Water Plant and the Water Reclamation Facility.
In August 2013,the DNRC approved, and the City adopted, an interest rate reduction from 3.75%to
3.00%.The decrease will save the Water Fund an average of$83,535 per year,totaling$1,670,694 over
the remaining life of the loan. The decrease will save the Wastewater Fund an average of$99,047 per
year,totaling$1,782,853 over the remaining life of the loan.

The General Fund:
The City's General Fund supports the majority of administration, public safety and public welfare
operations. It's most significant source of revenue comes from local property taxes. As a result, the
General Fund's operating budget and fund balance are critically important to the financial health of the
city.

FY15 Approved-General Fund Budget 1
As shown in the above graph, Police and Fire services combined comprise 51% ($13.7 Million) of the
General Fund's spending. The next largest departments are grouped together, each spending roughly
$1.5-$2.5 Million and each comprising 5-8%of the budget: Administrative Services, Recreation,
Library, Parks, and Facilities Maintenance. Nine other departments/areas comprise the balance of
General Fund Expenditures.
General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance:
The City's charter requires an established minimum level of General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance,
in accordance with the Government Finance Officers'Association (GFOA) Best Practices. GFOA's Best
Practice Recommendation was adopted and our required minimum reserve balance is 16 2/3%of
budgeted revenues. As discussed in more detail on page 75, this budget meets the required minimum
reserve of approximately$4,700,000 (17.9%) at the end of Fiscal Year 2015.
City of Bozeman 17 FY15 Approved Budget
Additional Debt:
As discussed previously,the voters approved the issuance of up to $15 Million in General Obligation
bonds for the purposes of parks,trails, and open space projects. We issued $9.9 Million in FY14 and
expect to issue the remaining$5.1 Million in FY15.
If voters authorize, we will issue up to $22 Million in General Obligation Bonds for the construction of a
Police & Municipal Court facility in FY15.
We expect to issue $2.1 Million in a Stormwater Utility revenue bond to fund the Story Mill Landfill
project. This loan is backed by the Stormwater Utility and will be paid for through an allocation of the
City's all-purpose tax levy.
Mill Levy Comparisons:
Our levy remained 7th for comparable communities in our state last year. This Approved Budget, with a
total estimated levy of 187.72 Mills,would position Bozeman in 5th place if other cities made no changes
to their levies this year(which is unlikely.)The table below shows the city tax levy for a number of
communities in Montana.
West Yellowstone and Whitefish both utilize Local Option Resort Taxes as an alternative or supplement
to property taxes,which the City of Bozeman is currently prohibited from by state law.

Residential City Property Taxes for FY13, FY14, and FY15
In November 2012,the voters approved this issuance of up to$15 Million in General Obligation Bonds
under for the purpose of expanding, creating new, and improving existing parks,trails, athletic fields
and natural areas. At the time of the vote,we estimated that a $15 Million bond will cost the typical
household less than $45/year. We issued $9.9M of that debt this past December, and will be adding a
levy of 8.02 mills($29.75/yr for the median residence)this year.
City of Bozeman 18 FY15 Approved Budget
In total,the Approved Budget will levy 187.72 mills on all taxable property within the City limits. This
represents an increase of 14.64 mills over last year; approximately$55.78/year increase in property
taxes. This increased levy is attributable to numerous issues, including:

2. Addition of mill levy for our Story Mill Landfill Loan of 1.57 mills
3. Addition to our Workforce Housing levy from 0.5 mills to 1.0 mills.
4. Expiration of the Transportation GO Bond Levy of 5.19 mills.
5. Approximately $275,000 in General Fund dollars not budgeted (under our
statutory cap), amounting to a reduction of 3.11 mills this year. Last year, $1.3

*Restated for FY15 reported "Median Home"value& homestead exemption
The median home "assessed market value" represents the value on the tax roll for a home within the
Bozeman city limits. This is the value of the property after the "homestead exemption" is applied.
Median simply means that half of the homes in the city have a higher value and half have a lower value.
Each year the Median Home value changes slightly. For the coming tax year,the median residential
property will have a taxable market value of$146,000.The median home will pay$3.60 in City property
taxes for every mill levied in Fiscal Year 2015. Residents living in the median home will pay an estimated
$675 in annual property taxes to the City.
General Taxes - Cost per Mill
For FY14,we estimated a 2.0% increase in the city's value of taxable property. Actual taxable values,
upon certification in August, showed a 2.9% increase over the previous year. For FY15, due to continued
strong subdivision and building permit issuance,we are estimating a 4.0%increase in taxable values.
Taxable values for the City have had an average increase of 2.9% per year for the past 5 years, and 5.7%
per year over the past 10 years.
Citywide Street and Tree Maintenance Assessments
City property owners pay annual street and tree assessments based on the square footage of the lot
they own. These assessments are the major funding for Street Maintenance and Forestry Divisions.
With the Commission's focused goal of addressing deferred maintenance,we have been undertaking a 3
year increase to the Street Maintenance Assessment. The approved budget is based on a 10% increase
City of Bozeman 19 FY15 Approved Budget
in the Street assessment, resulting in an annual assessment of$133.79 for the average sized lot. This
increase is a result of the following:
Increase in Other Operating needs, including adding $200,000 for increased
pavement projects. (10%, —$300,000 annual increase)
The Tree Maintenance District is in need of a 2% increase for base operating needs. There was no
increase to this assessment in the past three fiscal years.
Combined,the annual increase in special assessments over the previous year is$12.51 for owners of an
averaged sized lot in the city.

Water, Sewer, and Stormwater Utility Rates
Water & Sewer: City property owners are by and large required to utilize the City's water and
sewer treatment systems. The adopted facility plans outline large capital projects that will need to be
funded in the coming years.
In the spring of 2013,with the near completion of the Water Treatment Plant construction, we updated
our 5 year study of both Water and Sewer Rates. We presented this detailed analysis to the Commission
during the spring for decision making on rate changes effective September 1, 2013. The Commission
chose to increase rates for Wastewater(sewer) service, but to hold water rates flat for the next two
years. As with the street system, we developed a recommendation that aggressively addressed the
issue of deferred pipe maintenance. Our recommendation also included adding staff positions that
were deferred when building activity slowed down.
Stormwater: The Stormwater rates were instituted in FY13, with a 4%increase adopted for FY14.
When originally adopted,we developed a very meager, "start-up" budget that would serve to pay for
initial investigation of the system so that we could build a better program and assessment strategy.
Mid-year, during FY15,we expect a significant change in the Stormwater budget and customer rate
structure.The current Stormwater Utility rate will remain in effect through the end of the 2014 calendar
year.
During final budget discussions, the Commission adopted the "Bronze Level of Service" model to be
implemented in January 2015. The new model allocates $1.2 million in annual funding to support 5.5
FTE staff(only 3.25 FTE's in the first year, due to the timing of hire),with deferred maintenance and
City of Bozeman 20 FY15 Approved Budget
system enhancements made over a 15 year period. There was discussion about how staff might be
allocated, with an eye to maximize system maintenance to achieve nearly the Silver Level. Final
decisions on the exact positions hired will be made as the program is refined this fall. We expect rates
to increase on January 2015 from $1.75 to an estimated $5 per month for residential customers.
Commercial rate increases will vary.
In Total: For FY15, a residential customer utilizing 10 hundred cubic feet (HCF) of water each month
will see an estimated combined monthly increase for these services of$1.37/month, during July through
December. From January to June,the monthly increase would grow an additional $3.25/month for the
Stormwater rate increase.

Capital Improvement Impact on Operating Budget
The City annually prepares a Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); most recently adopted for FY15-
FY19 this past winter. The items that are scheduled in that plan each spring become the starting point
for budget requests at budget development time. This year, capital expenditures total over$42 Million.
A complete listing of capital project is included in the Appendix to this budget document. The five
largest capital total over$35 Million. They are described below. A complete list of Capital Improvement

In Conclusion
We know that there are differences of opinion among our community members and citizens about how
to best prioritize issues such as levels of customer service,financial position and reserves, and service
delivery and expansion. We have worked hard during this past spring to develop a budget that will move
our community forward—and, at the same time, continue to meet the obligations we have accrued
from the past.
This Approved Budget represents the thoughtful consideration of dozens of staff members and citizen
advisors. We look forward to Commission and community discussions regarding its improvement and
adoption.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
The overall goal of the City's financial policies is to establish and maintain effective management of the
City's financial resources. Formal policy statements and major objectives provide the foundation for
achieving this goal. Accordingly,this section outlines the policies used in guiding the preparation and
management of the City's overall budget and the major objectives to be accomplished. In addition,the
rationale which led to the establishment of the fiscal policy statements is also identified.
Budget Development & Administration
1. A comprehensive annual budget will be prepared for all funds expended by the City.
State law provides that"no money shall be drawn from the treasury of the municipality nor shall
any obligation for the expenditure of money be incurred except pursuant to the appropriation made by
the commission." Inclusion of all funds in the budget enables the commission,the administration, and
the public to consider all financial aspects of city government when preparing, modifying, and
monitoring the budget, rather than deal with the City's finances on a "piece meal" basis.
2. The budget will be prepared in such a manner as to facilitate its understanding by
citizens and elected officials.
One of the stated purposes of the budget is to present a picture of the City government
operations and intentions for the year to the citizens of Bozeman. Presenting a budget document that is
understandable to the citizens furthers the goal of effectively communicating local government finance
issues to both elected officials and the public.
3. Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing those basic municipal services which
provide the maximum level of services, to the most citizens, in the most cost effective
manner, with due consideration being given to all costs--economic, fiscal, and social.
Adherence to this basic philosophy provides the citizens of Bozeman assurance that its
government and elected officials are responsive to the basic needs of the citizens and that its
government is operated in an economical and efficient manner.
4. The budget will provide for adequate maintenance of capital, plant, and equipment
and for their orderly replacement.
All governments experience prosperous times as well as periods of economic decline. In periods
of economic decline, proper maintenance and replacement of capital, plant, and equipment is generally
postponed or eliminated as a first means of balancing the budget. Recognition of the need for adequate
maintenance and replacement of capital, plant, and equipment, regardless of the economic conditions,
will assist in maintaining the government's equipment and infrastructure in good operating condition.
City of Bozeman 31 FY15 Approved Budget
5. The City will avoid budgetary practices that balance current expenditures at the
expense of meeting future years' expenses.
Budgetary practices such as postponing capital expenditures, accruing future years' revenues, or
rolling over short-term debt are budgetary practices which can solve short-term financial problems;
however,they can create much larger financial problems for future administrations and commissions.
Avoidance of these budgetary practices will assure citizens that current problems are not simply being
delayed to a future year.
6. The City will give highest priority in the use of one-time revenues to the funding of
capital assets or other non-recurring expenditures.
Utilizing one-time revenues to fund on-going expenditures results in incurring annual
expenditure obligations which may be unfunded in future years. Using one-time revenues to fund
capital assets or other non-recurring expenditures better enables future administrations and
commissions to cope with the financial problems when these revenue sources are discontinued, since
these types of expenditures can more easily be eliminated.
7. The City will maintain a budgetary control system to help it adhere to the established
budget.
The budget passed by the Commission establishes the legal spending limits for the City. A
budgetary control system is essential in order to insure legal compliance with the City's budget.
8. The City will exercise budgetary control (maximum spending authority) through City
Commission approval of appropriation authority for each appropriated budget unit.
Exercising budgetary control for each appropriated budget unit satisfies requirements of State
law. It also assists the commission in monitoring current year operations and acts as an early warning
mechanism when departments deviate in any substantive way from the original budget.
9. Reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts will be
prepared monthly.
The City's budget is ineffective without a system to regularly monitor actual spending and
revenue collections with those anticipated at the beginning of the year. Monthly reports comparing
actual revenues and expenditures to budget amounts provide the mechanism for the Commission and
the administration to regularly monitor compliance with the adopted budget.
Revenue Collection
1. The City will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base.
A city dependent upon a few volatile revenue sources is frequently forced to suddenly adjust tax
rates or alter expenditure levels to coincide with revenue collections. Establishment of a diversified and
stable revenue base, however, serves to protect the City from short-term fluctuations in any one major
revenue source.
City of Bozeman 32 FY15 Approved Budget
2. The City will estimate revenues in a realistic and conservative manner.
Aggressive revenue estimates significantly increase the chances of budgetary shortfalls
occurring during the year--resulting in either deficit spending or required spending reductions. Realistic
and conservative revenue estimates, on the other hand, will serve to minimize the adverse impact of
revenue shortfalls and will also reduce the need for mid-year spending reductions.
3. The City will pursue an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
An aggressive policy of collecting revenues will help to ensure the City's revenue estimates are
met, all taxpayers are treated fairly and consistently, and delinquencies are kept to a minimum.
4. The City will aggressively pursue opportunities for Federal or State grant funding.
An aggressive policy of pursuing opportunities for federal or state grant funding provides
citizens assurance that the City is striving to obtain all state and federal funds to which it is entitled,
thereby reducing dependence on local taxpayers for the support of local public services.
5. User fees and charges will be used, as opposed to general taxes, when distinct
beneficiary populations or interest groups can be identified.
User fees and charges are preferable to general taxes because user charges can provide clear
demand signals which assist in determining what services to offer,their quantity, and their quality. User
charges are also more equitable, since only those who use the service must pay--thereby eliminating the
subsidy provided by nonusers to users, which is inherent in general tax financing.
6. User fees will be collected only if it is cost-effective and administratively feasible to do
so.
User fees are often times costly to administer. Prior to establishing user fees,the costs to
establish and administer the fees will be considered in order to provide assurance that the city's
collection mechanisms are being operated in an efficient manner.
Expenditures and Payments
1. On-going expenditures will be limited to levels which can be supported by current
revenues.
Utilization of reserves to fund on-going expenditures will produce a balanced budget; however,
this practice will eventually cause severe financial problems. Once reserve levels are depleted,the City
would face elimination of on-going costs in order to balance the budget. Therefore, the funding of on-
going expenditures will be limited to current revenues.
2. Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects, which primarily benefit current
residents, will be financed from current revenues.
Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects represent relatively small costs of an on-
going nature, and therefore, should be financed with current revenues rather than utilizing debt
City of Bozeman 33 FY15 Approved Budget
financing. This policy also reflects the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for
the project.
3. Major capital projects, which benefit future as well as current residents, will be
financed with current revenues as well as other financing sources (e.g. debt financing).
This policy reflects the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for the
project.
4. Major capital projects, which benefit future residents, will be financed with other
financing sources (e.g. debt financing).
Major capital projects represent large expenditures of a non-recurring nature which primarily
benefit future residents. Debt financing provides a means of generating sufficient funds to pay for the
costs of major projects. Debt financing also enables the costs of the project to be supported by those
who benefit from the project, since debt service payments will be funded through charges to future
residents.
5. Construction projects and capital purchases of$10,000 or more will be included in the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP);minor capital outlays of less than $10,000 will be
included in the regular operating budget.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) differentiates the financing of high cost long-lived physical
improvements from low cost "consumable" equipment items contained in the operating budget. CIP
items may be funded through debt financing or current revenues while operating budget items are
annual or routine in nature and should only be financed from current revenues.
6. Spending Policy:
The City will spend its resources in the following order. Resources will be categorized according to
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)for state and local governments, with the following
general definitions:
Restricted --Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers
(such as grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government) through
constitutional provisions or by enabling legislation.
Committed --Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City
Commission; to be reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any
other purpose unless the City Commission takes action to remove or change
the constraint.
Assigned --Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can
be expressed by the Commission or by an official or body to which the
Commission delegates the authority. The City Commission delegates this
authority to the City Manager.
Unassigned --Amounts that are available for any purpose; these amounts are
reported only in the General Fund.
City of Bozeman 34 FY15 Approved Budget
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, spending will occur in the following
order,for the identified fund types:
Fund Type Order of Spending
General Fund 1. Restricted
2.Committed
3.Assigned
4. Unassigned
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in the General Fund.
Special Revenue 1. Restricted
Funds 2. Committed
3. Assigned
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in Special Revenue Funds.
Debt Service Funds 1. Assigned
2. Committed
3. Restricted
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in Debt Service Funds.
Capital Projects 1. Restricted
Funds 2. Committed
3. Assigned
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in Capital Project Funds.
Debt Administration
1. The City will limit long-term debt to capital improvements which cannot be financed
from current revenues.
Incurring long-term debt serves to obligate future taxpayers. Excess reliance on long-term debt
can cause debt levels to reach or exceed the government's ability to pay. Therefore, conscientious use
of long-term debt will provide assurance that future residents will be able service the debt obligations
left by former residents.
2. The City will repay borrowed funds, used for capital projects, within a period not to
exceed the expected useful life of the project.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a project should pay for the
project. Adherence to this policy will also help prevent the government from over-extending itself with
regard to the incurrence of future debt.
City of Bozeman 35 FY15 Approved Budget
3. The City will not use long-term debt for financing current operations.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a service should pay for the
service. Utilization of long-term debt to support current operations would result in future residents
supporting services provided to current residents.
4. The City of Bozeman will adhere to a policy of full public disclosure with regard to the
issuance of debt.
Full public disclosure with regard to the issuance of debt provides assurance that the incurrence
of debt,for which the public is responsible, is based upon a genuine need and is consistent with
underwriters'guidelines.
Reserves and Fund Balances
1. Reserves and Fund Balances will be properly designated into the following
categories:
Nonspendable fund balance --Amounts that are not in a spendable form (such as
inventory) or are required to be maintained intact (such as the corpus of an endowment
fund).
Restricted fund balance --Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers
(such as grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government) through constitutional
provisions or by enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance --Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City
Commission; to be reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose
unless the City Commission takes action to remove or change the constraint.
Assigned fund balance --Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent
can be expressed by the Commission or by an official or body to which the Commission
delegates the authority.
Unassigned fund balance --Amounts that are available for any purpose; these
amounts are reported only in the General Fund.
2. A minimum level of General Fund reserve equal to 16.67% of annual revenues will be
maintained by the City. This reserve is committed to be used for: cash flow purposes,
accrued employee payroll benefits which are not shown as a liability, unanticipated
equipment acquisition and replacement, and to enable the city to meet unexpected
expenditure demands or revenue shortfalls.
Property taxes represent the City's primary source of general fund revenue. Property taxes are
collected in November and May of each fiscal year. Since the City's fiscal year begins on July 1st,the City
must maintain an adequate cash balance in order to meet its expenditure obligations between July 1st
and the commencement of the collection of property taxes in November.
Accrued employee payroll benefits represent a bona fide obligation of the City. The City will
maintain sufficient reserves to meet its annual expenditure obligations.
The City recognizes the need to maintain adequate equipment in order to carry out required
public services. Equipment acquisition and replacement represent on-going costs of a relatively minor
nature, as compared to major capital purchases. We plan for equipment replacement within our Capital
City of Bozeman 36 FY15 Approved Budget
Improvement Program. However, unforeseen equipment problems will arise. The reserve will provide
resources for the immediate, unanticipated replacement of critical equipment.
The City is subject to revenue shortfalls and unexpected expenditure demands during the fiscal
year. An undesignated General Fund reserve will be maintained to be able to offset these revenue
shortfalls or meet unexpected demands occurring during the year, without suddenly adjusting tax rates
or reducing expenditures.
Financial Reporting & Accounting
1. The City will manage and account for its financial activity in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as set forth by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
GASB is recognized as the authority with respect to governmental accounting. Managing the
City's finances in accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the rules set forth by GASB provides
Bozeman citizens assurance that their public funds are being accounted for in a proper manner.
2. The City will maintain its accounting records for general governmental operations on
a modified accrual basis, with revenues recorded when available and measurable, and
expenditures recorded when services or goods are received and liabilities incurred.
Accounting records for proprietary fund types and similar trust funds will be maintained
on an accrual basis, with all revenues recorded when earned and expenses recorded at
the time liabilities are incurred, without regard to receipt or payment of cash.
Adherence to this policy will enable the City to prepare its financial statements in accordance
with GAAP as set forth by the GASB.
3. The City of Bozeman will prepare a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The report will be
made available to the general public. The CAFR shall be prepared in accordance with the
standards established by the GFOA for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting Program
The Certificate of Achievement represents a significant accomplishment for a government and
its financial management. The program encourages governments to prepare and publish an easily
readable and understandable comprehensive annual financial report covering all funds and financial
transactions of the government during the year. The CAFR provides users with a wide variety of
information useful in evaluating the financial condition of a government. The program also encourages
continued improvement in the City's financial reporting practices.
4. The City will ensure the conduct of timely, effective, and annual audit coverage of all
financial records in compliance the local, state, and federal law.
Audits of the City's financial records provide the public assurance that its funds are being
expended in accordance with Local, State, and Federal law and in accordance with GAAP. Audits also
provide management and the Commission with suggestions for improvement in its financial operations
from independent experts in the accounting field.
City of Bozeman 37 FY15 Approved Budget
5. The City of Bozeman will maintain a policy of full and open public disclosure of all
financial activity.
Full and open public disclosure of all financial activity provides the public with assurance that its
elected officials and administrators communicate fully all financial matters affecting the public.
6. The modified accrual basis of accounting and budgeting is used for the governmental
funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when
susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available. Available means collectible
within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the
current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related liability is incurred.
Employee compensated absences and principal and interest on long-term debt
expenditures are recorded when due in the current period. The accrual basis of
accounting is used for proprietary funds. Under this method, revenues are recorded
when earned and expenses are recorded when the related liability is incurred. For
budget preparation and presentation, the proprietary funds' expenses are converted to
expenditures and follow the same budget format as the government fund types. Capital
outlays in the enterprise funds are presented as expenses for budget basis, but are
recorded as assets along with associated depreciation expense on the GAAP basis. Debt
service principal payments in the enterprise funds are accounted for as expenses for
budget purposes, but are reported as reduction of long-term debt liability on the GAAP
basis.
Recording capital outlays as expenditures and principal payments on long-term debt for budget
purposes, presents a clearer picture of the City's financial operations, is easier to administer for cash
flow purposes, and is easier for the lay person to understand.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
To better understand this budget document a basic understanding of the structure, often-used terms,
and fund types is helpful.
The City's operating expenditures are organized in to the following hierarchical categories: Activities,
Departments, Divisions, and Budget Units.
Activity: Activity represents the highest level of summarization used in the City's financial structure.
This level is primarily used for entity-wide financial reporting and for summarization in this budget
document.
Activities
General Government
Public Safety
Public Service
Public Welfare
Other
Department: Department is the second level of summarization used in the City's financial structure.
The function classification represents a grouping of related operations and programs aimed at
accomplishing a broad goal or providing a major service.
Division: Department can be further split into divisions which are usually associated with functioning
work groups that have more limited sets of work responsibilities. Their primary purpose is
organizational and budgetary accountability.
Budget Unit: Divisions may be further subdivided into budget units. A budget unit is used to
account for a specific service performed within a division in the pursuit of individual goals and
objectives. A budget unit is aimed at accomplishing a specific service or regulatory program for which a
government is responsible.
For example, to account for the expenses of constructing a new Wastewater Treatment Plant the City
uses the following financial structure:
Activity: Public Service
Department: Wastewater Plant
Division: Operations
Budget Unit: Construction
The following table lists the Department and corresponding divisions within the City for the current
fiscal year.

USEFUL TERMS
To better assist readers in understanding the budget document, a basic knowledge of the following
terms is useful:
A FUND is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash, and other
financial resources,together with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and changes
therein. Funds are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain
objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. Funds in the government
model are classified into three broad categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary.
The most common reason for establishing a fund is to separately account for restricted-use revenue or
to comply with State or Federal law.
An ACCOUNT is an organizational or budgetary breakdown which is found within city funds. Each
department serves a specific function as a distinct organizational unit of government within the given
fund. Its primary purpose is to facilitate organizational and budgetary accountability.
An OBJECT OF EXPENDITURE refers to specific, detailed expenditure classification. It relates to
a specific type of item purchased or service obtained. Examples of objects of expenditure include
salaries, supplies, contracted service,travel, etc.
The City's financial operations and fund structure conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP). The funds are grouped under governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary fund types. The City's
fund structure is comprised of the following funds, all of which are budgeted.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
General Fund: The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for
those required to be accounted for in another fund. The General Fund supports such basic services as
the Legislative Branch,Judicial Branch, General Administration, Police, Fire, Finance, Engineering,
Recreation, and Library services.
Revenue Sources: The City's General Fund is financed primarily by property taxes which provide
nearly half of the General Fund revenue. Other revenue sources include: licenses and permits,
intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, fines and forfeitures, interest on investments,
operating transfers, and miscellaneous revenues.
Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific
revenue sources (other than special assessments, expendable trusts, or for major capital projects)that
are legally restricted to expenditure for specific purposes. Special Revenue Funds support insurance
costs, retirement costs, planning functions, and other services legally restricted for specific purposes.
Revenue Sources: Special Revenue Funds are supported either through property taxes or
through grants or other restricted revenue sources. Examples of Special Revenue Funds supported by
City of Bozeman 41 FY15 Approved Budget
property taxes include employee health and comprehensive insurance funds. Examples of Special
Revenue Funds supported by grants or other restricted revenue sources include Community
Development Block Grant, Housing and Urban Development, and Gas Tax Apportionment.
Debt Service Funds: Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources
for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal and interest. Debt Service Funds provide
financing for the City's two general obligation bonds—trails, open space and parks (TOPS) and library
facilities.
Revenue Sources: Debt Service Funds are financed through property taxes and interest income.
Capital Project Funds: Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources to be
used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by
proprietary funds).
Revenue Sources: Capital Project Funds are supported by special assessments, long term debt
proceeds, donations, and grants.
PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Internal Service Funds: Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or
services provided by one department to other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis. Internal
Service Funds account for the City's vehicle maintenance functions.
Revenue Sources: Internal Service Funds are supported through billings to other departments
based on the sale of goods and the services provided.
Enterprise Funds: Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises--where the intent of the governing body is
that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on
a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. Enterprise Funds account
for the City's water,waste water, solid waste, stormwater and parking services.
Revenue Sources: Enterprise Funds are financed by user charges, penalties, and interest
income.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES
Trust Funds: Trust Funds are used to account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee
capacity. These include (a) expendable trust funds, (b) permanent trust funds, and (c) pension trust
funds
Revenue Sources: Trust Funds are supported by donations and interest income.

THE BUDGET PROCESS
The City of Bozeman budget serves several purposes.
For the Citizens of the City of Bozeman, it presents a picture of
the city government operations and intentions for the year.
For the City Commission, it serves as a policy tool and as an
expression of goals and objectives.
For City Management, it is used as an operating guide and a
control mechanism.
State statute provides the "Local Government Budget Act" in MCA 7-6-4001. This section of the law
was adopted by the 2001 Legislature to replace the "Municipal Budget Law" and other various sections
of code that related to city finances. The new law limits the amount of expenditures to approved
appropriations, requires reporting to the State after final budgets and tax levies are adopted, and
provides for a detailed preliminary and final budget adoption within the confines of the State
determined property tax assessment time-table.
The City's budget encompasses both the operating budget and the capital improvement budget. Each
budget unit includes amounts appropriated for both operating expenses and capital items. The
accompanying narrative explanation for each budget unit provides an explanation of capital items
included in the budget.
BASIS OF BUDGETING
The City's accounts are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate entity.
The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that
comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses.
Governmental funds (the General Fund, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects Funds) use
the modified accrual basis of budgeting and accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting
period in which they become available and measurable. Expenditures are recognized when liabilities are
incurred.
Proprietary funds (Enterprise and Internal Service Funds) are budgeted on a modified accrual basis
which does not include depreciation or compensated absences. Each fund's financial statements,which
can be found in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), are reported on the full
accrual basis. In the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in
which they are earned. Expenses are recognized in the accounting period in which they occur.
City of Bozeman 43 FY15 Approved Budget
BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
In the past,the City Manager's Recommended Budget served as the preliminary budget and is normally
adopted as such in June following six months of development and analysis by staff and the City
Commission. In 2013,we developed a revised budget calendar that will NOT have us adopting a
preliminary budget in June and a final budget in August. Instead,we will adopt a final budget in June
and only amend the budget in August if our taxable value estimates were significantly different from our
Certified Values received from the State. The Approved Budget document will be issued after Taxable
Values are received in August, and the final tax levy is set.
After submitting the City Manager's Recommended Budget to the City Commission, public work sessions
may be held by the Commissioners at which time the City Manager, Administrative Services Director,
and department staff explain the budget recommendations and underlying justification for the requests.
The Commission also reviews departmental requests which could not be funded, as an indication of
unmet needs. During or following the work sessions,the Commissioners may make adjustments to the
proposed budget. Following any adjustments to the City Manager's budget recommendation, a
tentative appropriation ordinance is prepared and a public hearing is held. The Commission may again
make adjustments to the budget following the public hearing, after which time,the Commission passes
the appropriation ordinance in final form.
MCA 7-6-4030 Final budget--resolution--appropriations. (1) The governing body may
amend the preliminary budget after the public hearing and after considering any public
comment.
(2) The amended budget constitutes the final budget. The final budget must be balanced so
that appropriations do not exceed the projected beginning balance plus the estimated revenue
of each fund for the fiscal year.
(3) The governing body shall adopt the final budget by resolution. The resolution must:
(a) authorize appropriations to defray the expenses or liabilities for the fiscal
year;and
(b) establish legal spending limits at the level of detail in the resolution.
(4) The effective date of the resolution is July 1 of the fiscal year, even if the resolution is
adopted after that date.
Appropriations are established by budget unit. The accounting system, budgeting system, and the
budget document itself, however, break these classes into subclasses--thereby providing more detailed
information. As an example, operating supplies,gas and oil, and subscriptions are all classified as
operating expenses. The accounting and budgeting systems provide detail for these specific sub-classes.
However, appropriation control is exercised only at the budget unit level.
City of Bozeman 44 FY15 Approved Budget
PERFORMANCE BUDGETING
Beginning with the fiscal year 1998-99 budget,the City of Bozeman started the development of a
performance budget. The move to a performance budget resulted in a shift in emphasis away from
describing what will be purchased (inputs)towards describing what will be accomplished (outputs and
outcomes). That process continues today with both an organization-wide and budget-unit specific focus
on outcomes.
PRESENTATION
The text of the budget document customarily contains five sections of information for each division.
Some divisions also include highlights or accomplishments for the prior year and/or the coming year.
The first section provides a description of the division.
The second section describes its major objectives to be
accomplished.
The third section provides detailed financial information.
The fourth section identifies the division's performance measures
for the coming budget year and the past three years.
The fifth section lists the workload indicators for the division.
The financial information includes expenditure information for the last completed fiscal year,the
appropriated amounts for the current year, and the recommended amounts covered by the budget.
Costs are segregated into five basic classifications: salaries,wages, &benefits; operating expenses;
capital; debt service; and transfers. Appropriation control is exercised only at the budget unit level and not
at the individual object of expenditure level.
The narrative information is presented together with the financial detail to assist readers in
understanding the planned outcomes for each division,the purpose of each budget unit, and major
changes or expenditures for the coming year.
MONITORING AND REPORTING PROCESS
As the budget year proceeds, individual departments and the Finance Department have dual
responsibility for monitoring the status of each budget unit. Department staff has primary responsibility
for monitoring the status of expenditures against their budget. This responsibility includes informing
the Finance Department of any significant departures from the plans anticipated in the budget.
The Finance Department has overall responsibility for monitoring the status of all departments and
funds. This is accomplished primarily through analysis of computerized budget performance reports
which compare appropriation amounts on a line-item basis with actual expenditures throughout the
year. These reports aid department staff in controlling costs and act as an early warning system for the
Finance Department. Department staff may exercise their judgment in exceeding expenditures by
object code, as long as they do not exceed the total amount appropriated for the budget unit.
City of Bozeman 45 FY15 Approved Budget
The Finance Department reviews the budget reports on a monthly basis and discusses any variances
from expected performance with the department staff. The Finance Department conducts in-depth
quarterly budget reviews of all expenditures and revenues.
Significant changes in either expenditures or revenues require a budget revision. Recommendations
are also made by the Administrative Services Director for any corrective actions believed necessary.
BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS
State statute provides a number of different ways to amend the budget. The first involves a
reallocation of existing appropriations among the line items within a specific fund. The second defines
a series of scenarios where the governing body has authority to amend the budget without a hearing for
donations, land sales, and fee-based budgets. All other increases in appropriation authority that are not
specifically permitted by statute must be approved through a public hearing process.
MCA 7-6-4031 Budget amendment procedures. (1) The final budget resolution may
authorize the governing body or a designated official to transfer appropriations between items
within the same fund.
(2) The annual budget appropriations may be amended as provided in 7-6-4006 (3) and 7-6-
4012.
(3) Except as provided in 7-6-4006, 7-6-4011, 7-6-4012, 7-6-4015, and 7-6-4032, or in case of
an emergency under Title 10, chapter 3, a public hearing is required for an overall increase in
appropriation authority.
The Administrative Services Director is responsible for ensuring compliance with spending limitations
imposed by the budget. Accordingly,the Administrative Services Director submits a Budget Status
Report to the City Commission after three, six, nine, and twelve month periods which evaluates overall
revenues and expenditures in comparison to the budgeted amounts. In cases where it appears the
original spending authority authorized will not prove sufficient,transfers of spending authority or
additional spending authority are requested together with explanations for the requests. Public
hearings for budget amendments are held as necessary.

APPROPRIATIONS BY TYPE
Expenditures, often called "Appropriations," are classified under one of six major categories: Personnel
& Benefits, Operating Expense, Capital, Debt Service,Transfers, and Other Financing Uses. The graph
below shows the relative percentage of FY15 budget expenditures for the six major categories in all
funds, combined.

Appropriations by Type-All Funds FY15
In governmental agencies, salaries, wages (personnel) and benefits normally represent the largest of
these categories. However, due to the significant investment in infrastructure, cities have a much higher
percentage of the budget devoted to operating and capital costs than most other governmental
agencies. Transportation projects are included under contracted services,which are operating costs.
APPROPRIATIONS BY TYPE: GENERAL FUND ONLY— Using those same classifications of
expenditure type,the relative percentages of budgeted expenditures for the General Fund are shown
below. As you can see,the General Fund is comprised of a much higher percentage of Personnel &
Benefit costs compared to all funds, as a whole. The General Fund supports very little capital
improvements, compared to all funds, as a whole.

LEGAL DEBT LIMIT & BOND RATINGS
General Obligation (G.O.) Debt Limit: The City's legal debt limit for general obligation (G.O.)
indebtedness is established by state statute. Total general obligations may not exceed 2.5%of the City's
total market value, as established each August by the Department of Revenue. Our most recent
valuation showed Total Market Value of$3.38 Billion. We are estimating an increase of 4.0%for the
coming year.
Anticipated borrowing this Fiscal Year: For FY15 we anticipate borrowing the remaining$5.1
Million for the voter-approved Trails, Open Space & Parks bonds. We also anticipate borrowing the
full $22 Million for construction of a Police& Municipal Court facility, which will be on the ballot for
voter approval November 2014. After both bonds are issued,the city would have consumed
approximately 44% of its total authorized G.O. borrowing capacity; borrowing$39.5 Million of the $88
Million authorized. $47 million dollars of future borrowing capacity would remain.
General Obligation Bond Rating: The City's most recent general obligation bond rating was done
in connection with the issuance of the Trails, Open Space & Parks bonds in December 2013. Moody's
rated that issue an "Aa3", stating: "The rating reflects the City's moderately-sized, stable tax base that is
more than double the size of the national Aa3 rated city median nationally, sound financial operations
and healthy reserve levels that will be drawn down to still sound levels due to a litigation payout,
improved wealth measures, and a limited debt burden that is expected to increase over the near term"
Revenue-backed Debt: There remains no statutory cumulative limit on the amount of debt a city can
issue that is backed by the revenue streams of various operations, known as "Revenue Bonds". The City
plans to borrow a total of$2.1 Million for the Landfill Project,guaranteed by the Stormwater Fund.
Special District Debt: There is no statutory limit on the amount of debt a city can issue that is
backed by assessments from special improvement districts (including lighting districts) known as "SID or
SLID Bonds". Other Special District Debt is subject to specific limitations, set forth in statute. In
December 2007,the City issued $6.27 Million in Tax Increment Urban Renewal Revenue Bonds for the
Downtown Intermodal Parking Facility. This bond issue was initially rated BBB by Standard & Poor's.
The rating was upgraded by Standard & Poor's to BBB+ in the spring of 2010.

General Fund Revenue
The changes in General Fund revenue, depicted in the graph above, reflect the following trends:
The approved mill levy for police and firefighter staff and equipment. That levy
allows permanent increases in property tax levies, beginning in FY09.
Beginning in the late 1990's, the rapid growth in new construction and
annexations increased property taxes collected. However, the significant decline
in local construction that began in 2008 reduced tax dollars from new
construction. Fiscal Year 2010 saw 5.5% increase in taxable value. For FY11
there was a 2.7% increase in taxable values. In FY12 there is a 2.1% increase in
City of Bozeman 61 FY15 Approved Budget
taxable values. For FY13, there was a 1.4% increase; the smallest increase in
the past 10 years. We are estimating a 4.0% increase in FY15.
No State Entitlement Share growth for FY12 or FY13 —previously, this had been
a steady source of revenue growth. For FY14 & FY15, the share will grow by
3.5%.
Increase in tax levies to nearly the statutory maximum cap.
STREET MAINTENANCE FUND
The Street Maintenance District Special Revenue Fund's revenue history is shown below. Revenues, in
the form of special assessments on real property, pay for the City's street maintenance and
reconstruction program. We are estimating a total of$3.74 Million in total revenues this fiscal year.

Street Maintenance Fund Revenue
Beginning with FY12, we expanded the program to include major street
reconstruction projects; the first being the reconstruction of South 8th Avenue.
This project required the borrowing of approximately $1.2 Million from the State
of Montana, which results in a substantial increase in budgeted revenues from
Other Sources in FY12.
For FY13 & FY14, there were no revenues from Other Sources, but an increase
in assessments to continue to build resources for reconstruction and curb
replacements.
FY15 has adopted a 10% rate increase for general street maintenance projects.
The City Commission directed City Staff to pursue borrowing $226,642 to finance
the Mckinstry LED streetlighting project.

WATER FUND
Shown on the graph on the following page are total water fund revenues, estimated at$8.2 Million for
the budget year. As depicted by the graph, water fund revenues have steadily increased as the result of
both an increase in the customer base and as the result of regular rate changes.

Water Fund Revenues
In updating our rate study for slower customer growth in recent years, decreased impact fee collections
and new estimates of Water Plant costs,we estimated needing a 4.5%water rate increase for FY11
through FY13 in order to fund plant construction and other scheduled operations and maintenance
costs.
The Commission adopted a two-year rate resolution of 4.5% increase in FY12 and
4.5% increase in FY13.
FY13 revenues include loan proceeds of$19.5 Million to fund the reconstruction
of our Water Treatment Plant, which got underway towards the end of FY11.
FY14 revenues are coming from Utility rates, without the high levels of proceeds
of long-term debt previously budgeted. The Commission voted to hold water
rates steady for FY14 (no rate increase).
Discounts for ACH payments were discontinued in FY14.
In FY15, the Public Works Department budget will be charged to the Water
Fund. This department's administrative overhead is charged out to the
departments that use their services, which is a significant increase in the Water
Fund revenues.
WATER IMPACT FEE FUND
The Water Impact Fee Fund's source of revenue is water system development impact fees. The fees are
charged to development projects as they place demand for new capacity on the water treatment and
distribution systems. As the recession has impacted construction and development, you can see the
decrease in the collection of these fees. Based on the newly adopted Impact Fees in April 2013, and
City of Bozeman 63 FY15 Approved Budget
increased construction, rates and revenues increased significantly in FY13. Our budgets continue to be
based on a 5 year average collections.

SOLID WASTE FUND
Revenues in the Solid Waste Fund were significantly affected by the closing of the City Landfill in 2007.
During fiscal year 2006, the Commission discussed how the City would continue solid waste disposal
services as our landfill was nearing its capacity. In a measure to reserve the remaining cell space for
residential use only, the Commission closed the landfill to tipping by commercial customers and non-city
residents and to any construction and demolition waste. The Landfill officially closed in June 2008.

The Solid Waste Collection Division continues to operate residential and
commercial collection, and in FY09 we began to provide curb-side recycling
collection services.
For FY11 garbage rates increased 5%, to cover fuel costs, employee salary and
benefit increases, and the assumption of costs that were once shared with the
Disposal division.
During the recession, the slowdown in local construction activity decreased
demand for "roll-off' containers and the associated hauling and tipping services.
Solid waste fund revenues, including curbside recycling fees for the year, are
estimated at $2.8 Million. An estimated 8% growth will increase revenue by
$120,000 over FY14.
Increase in the rate for 35 gallon totes to full cost-recovery in FY15.
STORMWATER FUND
The Stormwater Fund was created in FY13 to rejuvenate and protect local waterways from water that
flows over hard surfaces(stormwater).The City Stormwater Utility Enhancement program was proposed
to the City Commission and a utility was created. In FY15 we plan to significantly increase operations
with additional staff, maintenance, and capital enhancements.The increased level of service requires
$1.2 million in annual funding.The new rates and services are expected to be implemented in January
2015.

EXPENDITURE TRENDS &ANALYSIS
This section provides a historical trend analysis of the expenditures of the largest funds of the City.
Increases and decreases in fund expenditure levels is a natural occurrence. The most important point is
to understand what factors are causing fund expenditure levels to change. General Fund expenditures
tend to be more stable, due to the fact that most costs are personnel that are both predictable and
steady. In enterprise funds and construction funds, large fluctuations will occur due to the fact that
these funds are infrastructure intense and large expenditures are sporadic, depending on the projects
involved. The eight funds described below encompass $52 Million (48%) of the total expenditures for
FY15.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for those required to
be accounted for in another fund. Major functions supported by General Fund revenues include: City
Administration, Police and Fire services, Court, Parks, Recreation, and Library. Expenditures total $26.8
Million for this fiscal year.

General Fund Expenditures
The increase in expenditure levels of the General Fund can be tied to the growth trend of our
community. With this increase in property and population,there is a need for additional General Fund
services. Staffing increases to handle citizen demands bring salary and health insurance expenditure
increases. Expanding our buildings to accommodate more citizens and employees results in an increase
to building maintenance costs.
City of Bozeman 69 FY15 Approved Budget
Expenditures in Library Services increased significantly in 2007 due to the
operations of the new Library facility.
For FY08 we decreased expenditures on 911 Dispatch services by over $700,000,
due to the assumption of this program by the county.
Over the past six years, we have increased expenditures in Police and Fire
Services.
For FY15, the General Fund will support our last payment of$675,000 to MMIA
(previous payments in FY13 & FY14 were also supported by the General Fund).
STREET MAINTENANCE FUND
The Street Maintenance District Fund's expenditure history is shown below. Expenditures pay for the

Beginning in FY12, we expanded the program to include major street
reconstruction projects; the first being the reconstruction of South 8th Avenue.
Expenditures in FY14 are budgeted at $3.8 Million and include $900,000 of
expenditures from our recently established Street Reconstruction and Curb
Replacement monies.
Expenditures in FY15 are budgeted at $4.3 Million and include monies for a
reconstruction project, chip sealing streets according to the Pavement Condition
Survey, and Capital Improvement vehicles/equipment to aid in the Pavement
Preservation Program.
The Mckinstry Energy project of replacing 200 City owned street lights with
LED light bulbs was added to the Street Maintenance budget for FY15. The
project will be funded by an Intercap loan, to be paid back with the energy
savings resulting from the project.

In 2004, we began design and construction on the Hyalite Transmission Main,
which greatly improved service for the City's water supply from Hyalite
reservoir. That project was completed in FY06.
FY12 expenditures total roughly $14.5 Million, and included spending on the
first year of construction of our new Water Treatment Facility, according to our
long-rang Water Facility Plan.
FY12 also saw a concerted improvement in our water distribution pipe
replacement program, replacing rehabilitation projects "every-two-years" with an
annual program (doubling our efforts).
FY13 includes the majority of construction costs for the Treatment Facility.
Expenditures for FY14 are expected to fall to normal operating levels and total
$6 Million.
FY15 expenditures are budgeted at $8.4 million. The Water Fund will include
the Department of Public Works beginning in FY15, so expenditures (in
correlation with revenues) will increase significantly (previously in the General
Fund)

WATER IMPACT FEE FUND
The Water Impact Fee Fund accounts for the spending of water system development impact fees. The
fees are required to be spent on capital projects that expand the capacity of the City's water treatment
and water distribution systems. As such, spending is sporadic and related to planned capital projects.
In 2006,the Fund paid for improvements to the Hyalite Water Transmission Main. In FY12, 13, and 14,
the Fund has assisted with the construction the new Water Treatment Facility.
The budget for FY15 includes two CIP items—the design of a concrete water storage reservoir and an
update to the Water Master Plan.The remaining budget is to assist in paying off the Water Treatment
Plant debt.

Expenditures in the Solid Waste Fund increased significantly during 2005-2007
due to the City's investment in the Mandeville Farm property, Transfer Station
design, and the Old Library Property.
Costs also increased in FY06 when the City decided to direct-haul collection
trash to the County Landfill.
The FY09 budget included the cap and closure costs on the City's existing landfill
cell, curb-side recycling start-up, and funding our regular garbage collection
routes.
Expenditures for FY15 are estimated at $2.8 Million. The slight decrease from
FY14 is attributed to fewer Capital Improvement items. Operating costs are
slightly higher than FY14.

There are two fund types that are used to account for the City's operating funds. One is governmental
fund types and the other is proprietary fund types. The best measure of a governmental fund types'
financial condition is fund balance (assets minus liabilities). The best measure of a propriety fund types'
financial condition is working capital (current assets minus current liabilities).
This section provides a historical trend analysis of the fund balance and working capital balances of the
major funds of the City. Increases and decreases in a funds' financial position is a natural occurrence.
The most important point is to understand what factors are causing a funds' financial position to
change. General Fund balances will generally be more stable, due to the fact that most costs are
personnel that are both predictable and steady. In enterprise funds, large fluctuations will occur due to
the fact that these funds are infrastructure intense and large expenditures are sporadic.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for those required to
be accounted for in another fund. Major functions supported by General Fund revenues include: City
Administration, Police and Fire services, Court, Parks, Recreation, and Library.
The graph below shows that the city has maintained its General Fund balance between $2.5 and $7.5
Million over the past ten years.

General Fund-Fund Balance-FY15
Increases in fund balance in FY08 occurred as the result of unexpected revenues
and vacancy savings (most significant in FY08).
City of Bozeman 76 FY15 Approved Budget
The decline in FY07 is attributed to the City's share of the purchase of the
Lamme Library property for $1 Million.
FY09 saw an increase due, in part, to unfinished capital projects (Swim Center
AV System and Fire Department equipment purchases) that were carried over
into the FY10 year and spent.
The FY12 budget year ended with a fund balance level of over $7 Million, due to
vacancy savings in the Police Department, and other departmental budget
savings.
The FY13 ended with over $7 Million in fund balance, of which $700,000 was
earmarked for payment of the City's second payment to the MMIA for the
settlement of the declaratory action & over $1 Million earmarked for a tax
decrease in FY14
The FY15 Budget is developed to end the fiscal year slightly above the required
minimum $4 Million fund balance (4.7 Million). We will be relying on $675,000 of
budget savings & $225,000 of pool reserves to assist in making payments in
FY15.
The next graph shows the General Fund's fund balance in relation to the annual operating revenue of
the fund. In May 2011, the City adopted GFOA's Best Practice for Unreserved Fund Balance in the
General Fund into its Budget Administration Ordinance, which requires a 16.7% balance. If that is not
achieved,the Commission must hold a separate hearing to specifically address why the balance has not
been met and what will be done going forward.
The reserve minimum will be met with an estimated 17.9% reserve.

There is considerable overlap between the City's "backward looking" CAFR (Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report) and "forward looking" annual budget. During the budget process, before a fiscal year

is completed,we are forced to estimate how much both the current (FY14) and future (FY15) reserve
amounts will be.

We accumulated, and are now utilizing, dollars for plant design and construction. FY14 budget projected
an ending balance of$9 Million, and FY15 projects an ending balance of$8.9 Million.
WASTEWATER FUND
The FY09 spending on plant construction brings the working capital balance to its lowest level in ten
years. This is to be expected, considering that the treatment plant project represents the most
substantial investment in the City's Wastewater Facility in years. FY13 saw the end of construction and
the opening of the new facility.The FY15 ending working capital balance is projected to be$1.8 Million.

Solid Waste Fund-Working Capital
In FY07, $1.5M was utilized to purchase the Lamme Library Property, after the
City Commission decided to discontinue land-filling operations, and to join the
County's regional Solid Waste District.
The FY09 budget anticipated closing and capping the Landfill and beginning a
curbside recycling program in addition to the current garbage collection services.
The new recycling program required investments in a new recycling truck and
bins for customers which were funded in FY08.
FY10 shows the results of utilizing approximately $370,000 for the addition of
office and vehicle storage space to meet the long term needs of the division.
The increased revenue from 35 gallon totes and expanding customer base,
combined with a reduction in expenditures will see a slight increase in the FY15
ending working capital - $997,000.

STORMWATER FUND
The Stormwater utility was created in FY13. Being a newer utility,the working capital balance has not
had time to accumulate and grow.With the implementation of the "Silver Level of Service" model in
January 2015, part of the accumulated working capital will be used to assist in implementing the
infrastructure improvements.The ending working capital balance for the Stormwater Fund is projected
to be approximately$31,000, and is projected to steadily increase moving forward.

LOCAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK & CITY LONG RANGE FINANCIAL PLANS
Local Economic Outlook
The Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) is the research and public service branch of the
University of Montana's School of Business Administration. The Bureau is regularly involved in a wide
variety of activities including economic analysis and forecasting. Excerpts from the Bureau's forecasts
contained in the Montana Business Quarterly from 2008 through 2013 relating to Gallatin County and
the City of Bozeman are summarized below.
The Gallatin County economy was significantly impacted by the Great Recession
throughout 2008, 2009, and 2010.
By mid-2009 construction employment was down 30% from mid-2008 levels.
There were sizeable declines in retail trade, transportation, and business
services in early 2009.
The national recession impacted non-resident travel to the area with spending
declining significantly during 2008 and 2009. Recovery of this sector began in
2010 and 2011.
By 2011 the outlook for the City and the County began to change. Bozeman and
Gallatin County's base of high-tech industries continued to expand.
In 2012 it was clear that recession impacts were concentrated in the
homebuilding, construction, and non-residential travel industries.
The Bozeman area is evolving into a regional trade center. Retail trade
customers from the surrounding rural areas are now shopping in Bozeman
rather than commuting to the Billings area.
The BBER is forecasting moderate 3.2% growth from 2012-2015, which is down
sharply from the 6% forecast in the 2001-2007 period. Despite estimated future
growth remaining moderate, the area is projected to remain among one of the
fastest growing urban areas in the State.
As of 2013, job and income growth in the recovery for Bozeman and surrounding
areas has been particularly impressive as it was achieved without contribution
from the construction sector.
Steady growth within Montana State University, particularly its research
activities; good prospects for high-tech manufacturing and services; and an
improved outlook for real estate and construction have combined to make the
BBER's forecast for overall growth in the area higher than any other major
urban area in the state.
Excerpt from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, May 31st, 2014 edition: "The city of
Bozeman planning department got a hefty delivery last Thursday from its
upstairs neighbor, the building department—27 building permit applications,
the most ever received in a single day." This record supports the growth trending
in Bozeman after the recession. Building and permit revenues have been steadily
increasing, and are projected to continue to do so through Fiscal Year 2015.
City of Bozeman 99 FY15 Approved Budget
In summary,there are good reasons to remain bullish on Bozeman in the coming years as the economy
continues to indicate, not only stabilization, but growth.
City Long Range Financial Plan
Capital Plans: For more than a decade the City has prepared a 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP). The plan is prepared in the fall for the ensuing five (5) fiscal years. This fall, we will be preparing
the FY16-FY20 Capital Improvement Plan.
The FY15-19 CIP contained scheduled projects totaling$120.8 Million, and unscheduled projects of
$133.2 Million. The full plan can be found at http://www.bozeman.net/Business/Budgets-and-
Financials.
Over the years, the plan has grown to encompass capital improvement and replacement plans for all of
the City's funds that require capital spending:
■ General Fund ■ Vehicle Maintenance
■ Building Inspection Fund Fund
■ Library Capital ■ Water Impact Fee Fund
Replacement Fund ■ Wastewater Impact Fee
■ Fire Capital & Equipment Fund
Fund ■ Fire Impact Fee Fund
■ Street Maintenance Fund ■ Street Impact Fee Fund
■ Tree Maintenance Fund ■ CTEP (Community
■ Water Fund Transportation
■ Wastewater Fund Enhancement Program)
■ Stormwater Fund ■ Park & Trail Bond Fund
■ Solid Waste Fund
5-year Financial Plans:_Each year,the City also prepares and maintains financial plans for the
current year and the ensuing 5 years for the following funds:
Street Maintenance Fund Wastewater Fund
Tree Maintenance Fund Stormwater Fund
Water Fund Solid Waste Fund
These plans are developed as a part of the annual budget process and are based on current and future estimates of
staffing levels, estimated increases in operating costs such as supplies, fuel, and chemicals, and approved the capital
plans. The plans project revenue requirements, expenditure levels, and estimated reserve levels for each of the five
years.
These 5-year plans are included in the budget work sessions and show the Commissions, staff and the public the
projected increases in fee and assessment levels required to fund the programs.

Department: PARKING
Activity: Public Safety
PROGRAM INFORMATION
Program Description:
Effective July 1,2013 the Parking Enterprise Fund, under the authority of the Bozeman Parking Commission (BPC), now consists of
the entire city of Bozeman and not just the Downtown Parking,the MSU Residential Parking District,and the High School
Residential Parking District. Additional jurisdiction of the BPC includes Bridger Park Downtown,the City's 435-space parking garage.
The BPC directly supervises the City's parking manager,who, in turn,oversees the Parking Enforcement staff(5.0 FTE).There are
four sources of revenue: citations, permits for the MSU and high school residential districts, monthly leases in surface lots and
Bridger Park Downtown's daily and monthly incomes. Parking expenses include wages for the parking manager, parking clerk, and
enforcement staff; maintenance and utilities of surface lots and Bridger Park Downtown; citation notifications;vehicle expenses and
seasonal snow removal. While primary responsibility of each enforcement person is to a specific area,they exercise flexibility daily
to meet the ever changing needs of the department to respond whenever and wherever needed.
Major Objectives:
MISSION:The Bozeman Parking Commission is responsible for managing and regulating public parking in its districts to best serve
the needs of its customers, businesses, residents, employees,and visitors.
GOALS: • Improve and maintain public parking assets to best serve the needs of the public. • Seek to acquire additional public
parking as needed. • Make the parking operations fiscally sound and self-sufficient. • Provide consistent parking enforcement and
educate public whenever possible to minimize parking conflicts. • Make parking options and areas functional and attractive. • Plan
for and respond to changing parking needs in the districts. • Provide parking alternatives for bicycles, motorcycles,and other
transportation methods. •Work cooperatively with local government partners. • Provide for the safe movement of pedestrian and
vehicle traffic.
Budget Highlights:
No significant budget highlights for FY15.
Accomplishments:
Anticipated for FY15:Will start with the loss of 2 most senior employees,and thus allow the department to restructure the
workloads and shifts to create opportunity for improvement and efficiency,and a redesign of the departmental processes. FY14 is
projected to have a positive bottom line as is the FY14 budget,with the expectation that the BPC can build a reserve fund for future
capital expenditures .These positive numbers are in contrast to many years of operating in the red.As the services and parking
options provided to the public and business community improve,so does the positive public perception of the parking department.
FY14 has continued to see increased awareness and usage of the public parking facilities, especially the Downtown garage. Permit
sales in surface lots and the parking garage have continued to increase as general usage increases from local businesses,downtown
employees,and general visitors. Overall, parking has seen a noticeable improvement in both services provided and the public
perception while achieving a positive financial outcome.
Adopted Work Plan Items:
The Bozeman Parking Commission governs and sets the Work Plan for Parking Operations. For the coming years,the work items
include: Developing a RFP for surface lot redesign to update and improve each lot,while developing an overall standard for public
parking lots and to work with the BPC to develop an outline for the future of parking to help guide decisions moving forward.

PROGRAM INFORMATION
Program Description:
GOAL:The goal of the street maintenance division is to help provide for a network of safe roadways for the traveling public and
access to desired destinations such as emergency services,schools, employment,shopping,community services, or other facilities in
a quick,convenient,safe and comfortable manner while minimizing harmful effects on the environment.STREET MAINTENANCE
FUND:The street maintenance district division accounts for the expenditure of special assessments on property in the City for the
repair and upkeep of the City's streets.Section 7-12-4401 MCA authorizes the City to create street maintenance districts for the
purpose of maintaining its streets,alleys, and other public places.The maintenance districts were first created during fiscal year
1990-91.Assessments are levied on each piece of property within the City limits and are recorded on the property owners SID
notices annually.Collection takes place in November and May and provide the revenues for the street maintenance district
program.Any unexpended balances are available for reappropriation next fiscal year.The costs incurred in maintaining streets,
alleys, and other public places within the maintenance district are assessed against each property within the district based on the
assessable area of the property as a percentage of the entire assessable area of the district,exclusive of streets, avenues,alleys,and
public places. GAS TAX FUND:The gas tax division accounts for the expenditure of the City's share of state collected gas tax funds
allocated to the City by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT).Section 15-70-101 MCA provides that MDT shall allocate
gas tax revenues to cities,towns, and counties. One-half of the City's allocation is based on population and one-half is based on
street and alley mileage.The funds may be used only for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and repair of streets and alleys.
The funds may not be used for equipment purchases.
Major Objectives:
• Implement an efficient pavement management plan, in turn creating yearly maintenance programs for failing street infrastructure.
• Utilize pavement condition assessment for planning and scheduling our repairs from potholes to complete reconstruction •
Maintain streets and alley right-of-ways to allow traffic to move in a safe and prudent manner. • Improve the quality of summer and
winter street maintenance work and communicate to the citizens so that they may be better informed and plan for it. • Continued
use of alternative fuels when available and affordable such as biodiesel and ethanol in our fleet. • Institute a City-wide curb
replacement program with assistance from the Engineering Dept. • Expand our cooperative efforts with the County Road
