CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET MESSAGE
July 1, 2015
Bozeman City Commission:
I am pleased to present to you the Approved Budget for Fiscal Year 2015-2016 (FY16).
This plan was developed after presenting and discussing the City Manager's Recommended
Budget at public meetings in May and June, with adoption of a Approved Budget taking
place on the evening of June 22, 2015.
Commission Goals and the Approved Budget
The City Commission recently updated its priorities for staff to focus on in the coming
months. Many of these priorities require budgetary support and have been incorporated
into our recommended spending plan for FY16. The following list describes the priorities
with significant budgetary implications; a full listing of the adopted priorities can be found
on page 27.
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 approximately$2
million has been approved by the State Revolving Loan Fund in order to design and install a
system to limit the migration of VOCs off the landfill.The program provides a 20-year loan at 3%
annual interest, secured by the City's Stormwater Fund. This budget includes a tax levy
dedication of 1.74 mills ($140,000)for the estimated required annual loan payment.
The city continues to address claims filed by property owners in this matter. At this time,
insurance coverage is uncertain; the City's insurers have provided defense, and insurance
coverage continues to be litigated. This budget includes spending$280,000 for ongoing
insurance coverage and litigation matters.
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. This budget includes the proceeds from the Sale of North Park, net of easement costs,
as a deposit to the Post-Closure Mitigation and Monitoring Fund in the amount of$1,130,000.
2. Transportation System Improvements
Over the past 12 months, numerous policy discussions have taken place surrounding the plans
and funding structure for street expansions, reconstruction, and maintenance. Transportation
issues were cited as the number one concern by citizens responding to last year's Online City
Hall budget priorities question. This Approved Budget substantially increases funding for
transportation projects by adding a new Street Arterial and Collector Assessment fund and
City of Bozeman, MT 12 FY16 Approved Budget
increasing the dollars for pavement maintenance in the current Street Maintenance Fund. In
addition, numerous other projects and efforts that enhance pedestrian and vehicle
transportation are included in the budget.
a. NEW! The creation of a new Street Arterial and Collector Assessment District. The
Arterial and Collector streets represent the major road-ways through the City. This
district would provide dollars to construct portions of the transportation network
(including the local share of intersections, and missing areas along City-owned parks)
from all property owners via an annual special assessment. Money would be combined
with Impact Fee dollars for the completion of projects; it would replace the 5 mills
(approx. $475,000) in property tax dollars that were dedicated for local share of streets
in FY15. Our goal is to increase this Arterial and Collector Assessment to $2
Million/year, phased in over the next 3 years. This budget contains$578,000 in new
Arterial and Collector assessments. The money will first go to complete the Baxter and
Davis intersection project in FY16. Future years' capital projects will be incorporated
into the annual CIP.
b. Increase in Street Maintenance Assessments for pavement maintenance. Our goal is to
increase street maintenance funding by$1 Million/year, phased in over the next 3 years.
This budget contains an additional$287,000 for pavement maintenance.
c. Capacity-expanding projects within our Street Impact Fee Fund. We are budgeting to
spend over$8 Million on capacity expanding projects around the city. Projects
include:
a. SIF48—Cottonwood (Fallon to Alpha Drive) $2,540,000
b. SIF64—Durston (Cottonwood to Western City Limits) $1,012,000
c. SIF54—Ferguson (Baxter to Oak) $900,000
d. SIF50—Laurel Parkway(Durston to Babcock) $700,000
e. SIF42—Intersection of Baxter and Davis$675,000, additional.
f. Numerous Design contracts totaling nearly$2 Million
d. Street Reconstruction Project. We will be working on North Wallace as the next
Special Improvement District (SID) Reconstruction project. We estimate $626,500 in
Street Maintenance funding and $626,500 in SID funding paid by adjacent property
owners.
e. Gas Tax revenues are estimated to provide$662,400 in funding for pavement
maintenance commodities(primarily asphalt and chip seal.)
f. Main Street Streetscape Special Improvement District. The Downtown Tax Increment
District has been working to bring together numerous reconstruction projects in the
downtown area for sidewalks, lighting, and other streetscape amenities. This coming
year,we have budgeted to issue $4.5 Million in Special Improvement District(SID)
bonds for the streetscape project.
g. Sidewalk Replacements. Under state law,the city may order the installation and
reconstruction of deteriorated sidewalks. We began sending notices to property
owners last summer. We now expect to install$400,000 in sidewalks,to be financed
with an Intercap loan, by adjacent property owners over a 5-year period.
City of Bozeman, MT 13 FY16 Approved Budget
3. Water & Sewer Systems
a. We have recently adopted an update to the Wastewater Collection System master plan
document. As a result of the update,we have included two critical projects for FY16 that were
not previously on the Capital Plan.
South University District Wastewater Project(Total cost estimate of$1,120,000)
Bridger Drive Extension Wastewater Project(Total cost estimate of$400,000)
Both of these projects are necessary to serve existing and growing development around town,
and are funded by a combination of Wastewater utility and impact fee funds.
b. We have also updated our Water and Sewer rate models for the next 5 years. The Approved
Budget is based on adopting two-year rate increases in the Water Fund (2.5% in FY16 and 2.5%
in FY17), and in the Sewer Fund (3% in FY16 and 3% in FY17). The rate increases will help keep
our utility operations and capital projects moving forward, with the required reserves and cash
flow for borrowing, as necessary.
c. We will be borrowing$6.6 Million for the construction of a 5.3 Million gallon water storage
reservoir. The water rates will need to be pledged to repay this loan, as we cannot borrow
against impact fee revenues. This added water storage is a capacity-expanding project that is
necessary for continued development in the city.
4. Storm Water Utility
In 2012 the city created its Storm Water Utility. During the last three years,we have been
working to identify assessment methodologies, infrastructure locations and conditions, and
develop a funding plan for future storm water improvements. On April 13th 2015,the City
Commission adopted Resolution No.4590 establishing rates for stormwater service based on a
more equitable "impervious surface" method.The new rates will go into effect in May and
December of 2015. With the implementation of the new rate model, additional staff
previously approved in the FY15 budget(but were not hired)are again included in the FY16
budget. Until the full cash flow under the new model is established (in FY17,)annual deferred
maintenance& pipe rehabilitation have been scaled back to design phases. The FY16 budget
focuses on design of future pipe rehabilitations and specific system upgrades.
5. Broadband Infrastructure
The Bozeman Fiber Initiative is moving forward.The non-profit was created in May and will
secure the private funding needed for system build-out. A number of the City's Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) Districts adopted work plans that play a role in funding infrastructure within their
boundaries. The Commission incorporated those work plans into the Approved Budget.
City of Bozeman, MT 14 FY16 Approved Budget
6. Affordable Housing
In November 2014,the City hired a consultant to perform an Affordable Housing Survey. The work
will assist in determining alternatives for the City to consider when drafting an updated Affordable
Housing Ordinance.The previous ordinance was suspended during the recession, and has not been
readopted. In February 2015, the consultant presented their study and recommended regulatory
changes:
a. Affordable housing requirements for new construction should be reinstated with a new set
of rules;
b. Regulatory incentives from previous ordinances should be retained and strengthened;
c. Some of the strongest incentives depend upon increased City funding of affordable housing.
After discussing the study, the City Commission asked staff to draft a revised ordinance, taking into
account the recommendations and Commission concerns. This budget contains an increase in the
amount of tax revenues that will be deposited to the Community Housing fund; increasing from 1.0
mills to 3.0 mills(increasing from$86,000 to$240,000.)
7. Police & Municipal Courts Building
In the fall of 2014, residents declined to approve the ballot measures that were needed to construct
and operate a new Municipal Police and Courts building. However, a new, or improved, space is still
necessary to accommodate the growing needs of the Police department, Courts, and other justice
services. The City joined a taskforce with Gallatin County to explore options for a facility, moving
forward.This joint taskforce is expected to recommend a construction strategy around July 15t,
2015. This budget contains$50,000 for consultant work in the Police Department for steps that
might progress as a result of the taskforce's recommendations. It also holds an additional
$452,000 in the General Fund reserve for future use, if needed. Future allocation will require a
Budget Amendment.
8. Vision - Mission - Strategy
This budget contains$125,000 for consulting work in the City Manager's department for the
development of a City Strategic Plan.
9. Unified Development Code Design
The Unified Development ordinance was last adopted on November 24, 2003.The Ordinance
adopted a new Unified Development Code, which replaced existing zoning and subdivision
regulations that govern the use and development of land. In recent months,the Community
Development department has updated planning fees and reorganized its divisions in order to better
assist the City of Bozeman residents. Along with these changes, new revisions to the Unified
Development Code are needed to better address modern development within our rapidly growing
city.This budget includes spending$300,000 for the design and adoption of a new Unified
Development Code.
City of Bozeman, MT 15 FY16 Approved Budget
10. Aquatics Facility
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. This budget includes an additional$10,000 for architects to continue work on the
design of a new outdoor aquatic facility.
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.

Building Permit Construction Value Chart 1
While never completely stopping, building construction significantly slowed during the recession. For
the current fiscal year to date (July-March),the total value of Building Permits for New Construction is
110%of the same time frame during the previous year. Building permit values are more than double
what they were for the same period ending April 2011. With this continued growth, additional staff was
added to the building team mid-year in FY15.This additional staff included 2.0 FTE Building Inspectors,
1.0 FTE Permit Technician and a 1.0 FTE Senior Plans Examiner; all of these positions are funded with
building permit revenues.
State-wide Reappraisal of Property Values
In November we received preliminary data for the property reappraisal that the State of Montana is
conducting and implementing for our FY16 fiscal year(2015 tax year). We will not receive the final
Certified Taxable Values until July 2015;this necessitates using the preliminary information for a
calculation of property tax levies in our budget.
City of Bozeman, MT 16 FY16 Approved Budget
The State has projected a dramatic decrease in assessed values for both commercial (19.25% decrease)
and residential (3.52%decrease) property in Bozeman. They attribute this change to the timing of
appraisal cycles and the Great Recession. Under existing laws, the City is both allowed and required to
increase its number of mills in order to off-set decreased tax dollar collections that come about from
decreased assessed property values. The State estimates that the value of one mill, levied city-wide
after Tax Increments are excluded, will be$80,331 in FY16. This represents an 8.6%decrease in the
city's mill value in FY15.
For levies that are required to be established at certain dollar values (i.e. debt service), we will need to
raise our mills to bring in the same number of dollars.
For levies that were approved at set mill amounts (i.e. Fire Capital & Equipment levy), we will yield fewer
dollars due to reappraisal.
Staffing Level Changes
General Fund/Community Development Positions
Approved FY16 staffing for the General Fund and the Community Development fund includes adding the
following positions. One Full-Time Equivalent(FTE) customarily works 2080 hours per year. These
funds are analyzed together because the Community Development Fund relies on an annual transfer of
dollars from the General Fund in order to remain solvent.
Fund Position Full-Time
Equivalent
General Fund Parks Maintenance Worker—added FTE I 1.00
General Fund Animal Control Officer—increased FTE to .40 .15
General Fund Library Assistant I—increased FTE to 0.38 .38
General Fund Librarian I—Supervisory—increased FTE to 1.0 .50
Community Development Planner II—added FTE 1.00
Total 3.03
Needs for increased staffing at the Library and for increased Animal Control work have resulted in
approval to add portions of FTE's to those departments. The addition of the Parks Maintenance Worker
relates to our continued acquisition of park-land with the Trails, Open Space, and Parks Bonds (TOP
Bonds). The additional Planner position has been added to keep up with projects and applications in the
Community Development Department.
Enterprise & Other Fund Positions
The following positions were approved to be added in Water and Sewer funds.
Fund Position Full-Time Equivalent
Water Fund Water Conservation Technician 1.0
Wastewater Fund City Service Worker—WRF 1.0
Total Other Funds 2.0
In order to continue to grow our water conservation program,we are recommending adding a
Technician. We are also in need to one additional worker at the Water Reclamation Facility.
City of Bozeman, MT 17 FY16 Approved Budget
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.
This year's General Fund budget has $27.1 Million in expenditures, in the following areas:
General Fund

FY16 Recommended-General Fund Budget 1
As shown in the above graph, Police and Fire services combined comprise 51% ($13.9 Million) of the
General Fund's spending. The next largest departments are grouped together, each spending roughly
$1.4-$2.4 Million and each comprising 5-9%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 72, this budget exceeds the required minimum
reserve of approximately$4,560,000 (16.67%) at the end of Fiscal Year 2016. Estimated ending
Undesignated Fund Balances is$5,318,000 (19.4%).
City of Bozeman, MT 19 FY16 Approved Budget
Additional Debt:
We expect to issue $2 Million in a Stormwater Utility revenue bond to fund the Story Mill Landfill
project. The loan was budgeted in FY15, and will close in late FY15. This loan is backed by the
Stormwater Utility and will be paid for through an allocation of the City's all-purpose tax levy. We also
intend to borrow$400,000 from the State's Intercap program to finance sidewalk reconstructions. This
debt will be repaid by the property owners, but guaranteed by the General Fund.
We expect to issue $6.6 Million in Water Revenue bonds to construct the Water Storage Reservoir. This
debt can be repaid by Water Impact fees, once collected.
We also expect to issue Special Improvement District bonds totaling$4.5 Million for the Downtown
Streetscape projects. This debt will be repaid by adjacent property owners.
Residential City Property Taxes for FY14, FY15, and FY16
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 in December 2013, and the remaining$5.1
Million in November of 2014.
In total,the Approved Budget would levy an estimated 222.20 mills on all taxable property within the
City limits. Details of the estimated levy can be found on page 50. This represents an increase of 33.44
mills over last year. This increased levy is attributable to numerous issues, including:
1. The effects of reappraisal and the need to increase (float) mills to offset decreased taxable
values.
2. Addition of the TOP Bond debt service levy of 5.33 mills.
3. Addition to our Workforce Housing levy from 1.0 mills to 3.0 mills.
4. Approximately$363,000 in General Fund dollars is not recommended to be budgeted (under
our statutory cap), amounting to a tax reduction of 4.52 mills.

* 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 Department of
City of Bozeman, MT 20 FY16 Approved Budget
Revenue and the State Legislature have made significant changes to tax policy. At this time, we have
relied on the preliminary property tax information and will update the Commission as we move forward.
It is currently estimated that the median home will pay$3.45 in City property taxes for every mill levied
in Fiscal Year 2016. Residents living in the median home are estimated $767 in annual property taxes to
the City.
General Taxes - Cost per Mill
Last year,we estimated a 4.0% increase in the city's value of taxable property. Actual taxable values,
upon certification in August 2014, showed a 2.6% increase over the previous year. For the coming fiscal
year, due to the uncertainties related to property tax reappraisal, we are using the State's estimate of an
8.6%decrease in taxable values. Taking into account the large projected decrease this year,taxable
values for the City would have an average increase of only 0.1% per year for the past 5 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.
The approved budget is based on a 10% increase in the Street Maintenance assessment, resulting in an
annual assessment of$147.17 for the average sized lot. The majority of this increase is attributed to the
phase-in of an added $1 Million in annual pavement maintenance over the next 3 years.
NEW! We are proposing to create a new Arterial and Collector Street Assessment District. The intent is
to phase-in an additional $2 Million in construction on arterial and collector streets over the next 3
years. For FY16, we are recommending an assessment of$0.002873 per square foot of assessable area.
For the average sized residential lot, the annual assessment would be$21.54 for the year.
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. There was actually a small decrease to the
assessment last year, based on revised assessment methods adopted in July 2014.
Combined,the annual increase in special assessments over the previous year is$35.25 for owners of an
averaged sized lot in the city.

Utility Rates
Water & Sewer: City property owners are by and large required to utilize the City's water and
sewer treatment systems. We have updated our 5 year funding models for both Water and Sewer
Rates. The budget approved a 2.5% increase in Water rates and a 2.5% increase in sewer rates, effective
September 1, 2015. We would like the Commission to advertise and adopt 2-year rate resolutions this
summer; we will propose an added 2.5% in Water and 3%in Sewer rates for FY17.
Stormwater: The Stormwater rates were adopted in April 2015. The new base charges take effect
in May 2015 and the variable charges and credits take effect in December 2015, based on impervious
area and existing infrastructure.
In Total: By December 2015, a residential customer utilizing 10 hundred cubic feet (HCF) of water
each month will see an estimated combined monthly increase for these services of$5.08/month. Over
half of the monthly the increase is attributed to the adopted Stormwater charges.

Capital Improvement Impact on Operating Budget
The City annually prepares a Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); most recently adopted for FY16-
FY20. The items that are scheduled in that plan become the starting point for budget requests at budget
development time. This year, capital expenditures total over$34 Million. A complete listing of capital
project is included in the Appendix to this budget document. The five largest capital total over$16
Million.
Project Amount
Water Storage Reservoir $6.6 Million
The Water Storage Reservoir has been factored into the rate models
for the Water Fund; both the annual operating expenditures and the
debt service. See the Water Fund Financial Summary.
Downtown Streetscape SID Project $4.5 Million
This project will add lighting and replace curbs and sidewalk segments
in the Downtown. The lighting districts will see yield savings by
replacing some incandescent fixtures with LED fixtures.
Cottonwood Road Project (Fallon to Alpha Drive) $2.5 Million
This road project will increase the lane-miles of roadway for the
Street Maintenance District to maintain.
City of Bozeman, MT 22 FY16 Approved Budget
Water System Renovations $2.0 Million
The renovation projects have been factored into our rage models for
the Water Fund. Going forward,system renovations have a positive
(downward) impact on the water budget by reducing emergency
repair costs when pipes fail.

In Conclusion
We understand the effects this budget will have on preserving and improving property values and the
quality of life around town, as well as the financial impacts to residents, businesses, and property
owners. To summarize, a typical residential property owner will likely see taxes and assessments
increase by$174.81 for the year, or$14.57 per month. *Final Property Tax amounts will be determined
in August 2015.
Typical Resident: Annual Increase Approved
Street Maintenance Assessments $13.38

Population: Bozeman's population has been growing steadily since 2000. The rate of population
increase peaked in 2006 at an estimated 5.7%annual growth. The official 2010 Census puts Bozeman's
population count below the Census estimates of 2007, 2008, 2009, an indication of how difficult it can
be to estimate the population changes of relatively fast-growing communities. A total citizenry of
39,860 for 2013 indicates a total 41.9% increase since the year 2000. Source: US Census Bureau

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.
5. The City will avoid budgetary practices that balance current expenditures at the
expense of meeting future years' expenses.
City of Bozeman, MT 32 FY16 Approved Budget
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.
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
City of Bozeman, MT 33 FY16 Approved Budget
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
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).
City of Bozeman, MT 34 FY16 Approved Budget
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, MT 35 FY16 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 r 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.

Capital Projects 1. Restricted

3. Assigned
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to

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.
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
City of Bozeman, MT 36 FY16 Approved Budget
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
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
City of Bozeman, MT 37 FY16 Approved Budget
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.
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.
City of Bozeman, MT 38 FY16 Approved Budget
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, MT 42 FY16 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.
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
City of Bozeman, MT 44 FY16 Approved Budget
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.
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.
City of Bozeman, MT 45 FY16 Approved Budget
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.
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.
City of Bozeman, MT 46 FY16 Approved Budget
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.

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.
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

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$3.6 Billion. We are estimating an increase of 3.0%for the
coming year.
Anticipated borrowing this Fiscal Year: During FY15 we borrowed the remaining$5.1 Million for
the voter-approved Trails, Open Space & Parks bonds. In the coming fiscal year, anticipate borrowing
$400,000 in the form of a loan from the State's Intercap program to finance sidewalk improvements.
After this debt is issued,the city would have consumed approximately 18%of its total authorized G.O.
borrowing capacity; borrowing$16.5 Million of the$92 Million authorized. $76 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 October 2014. Moody's
rated that issue an "Aa3", stating: "The rating reflects the City's fairly large, stable tax base, improved
wealth measures, a trend of sound financial operations and healthy reserve levels that largely remained
intact despite a recent litigation payout, 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$6.6 Million for the Sourdough Water Tank project, guaranteed by the Water
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". This budget includes anticipated borrowing of$4.5 million for Special Improvement
District (SID) debt for the Downtown Streetscape SID. 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 in 2010 and reaffirmed by Standard & Poor's
to BBB+/Stable in the spring of 2015.

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 the rate of local
construction that began in 2008 reduced tax dollars from new construction. For FY13,there
City of Bozeman, MT 61 FY16 Approved Budget
was a 1.4% increase in property values; the smallest increase in the prior 10 years. The
State is estimating a net decrease of 8.6% in property values due to reappraisal in FY16.

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 adopted a 6.4% rate increase for general street maintenance projects.
FY16 budget approves increasing street assessments 10%-which includes a significant
increase for pavement maintenance. This is intended to add $1 Million over 3 years for
additional construction projects.
WATER FUND
Shown on the graph on the following page are total water fund revenues, estimated at$8.9 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
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.
Discounts for ACH payments were discontinued in FY14.
Beginning in FY15,the Public Works Department budget is 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.
The FY16 budget approves a rate increase of 2.5%to continue to cover costs of the utility.
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
increased construction, rates and revenues increased significantly in FY13. Our budgets continue to be
based on a 5 year average collections.

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.

$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.
Increased customer base is estimated for FY16,with no tote rate increases.
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 planned 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 fully implemented in
December 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 $60.3 Million (58%) of the total expenditures for
FY16.
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 $27.1
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.
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.
In FY15,the General Fund supported our last payment of$675,000 to MMIA.
The FY16 recommended budget has a decrease in expenditures from FY15.

FY13 includes the majority of construction costs for the Treatment Facility.
Expenditures for FY14 fell to normal operating levels of$6 Million.
FY15 expenditures were budgeted at$8.4 million. The Water Fund includes the Department
of Public Works beginning in FY15, so expenditures (in correlation with revenues)will
increase significantly (previously in the General Fund)
The FY16 recommended budget includes increased debt payments for the Water Treatment
Plant loans.There is also an additional 1.0 FTE included for a Water Conservation
Technician.

FUND BALANCES/WORKING CAPITAL TRENDS &ANALYSIS
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.

Increases in fund balance in FY08 occurred as the result of unexpected revenues and
vacancy savings (most significant in FY08).
City of Bozeman, MT 75 FY16 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 FY16 Budget is estimated to end the fiscal year above the required minimum ($4.5
Million)fund balance, at$5.3 Million.
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.

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 -
$789,000.
The negative ending working capital in FY16 is expected, due to the timing of capital
purchases. With the replacement of a front-load truck, a side-load truck and recycling truck,
the fund is projected to end with -$34,000. Based on a 5 year Capital Improvement Plan,this
is the only year with a negative ending working capital.

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 "Bronze Level of Service" model in
May 2015, part of the accumulated working capital will be used to assist in implementing the
infrastructure improvements.

Stormwater Fund-Working Capital
The Bronze plan was initially projected to be implemented in January 2015. However,
due to timing issues,the plan was delayed. Without the revenue from new rates, capital
projects and the hiring of additional staff members was delayed as well.
The working capital remaining at the end of FY15 will be used to implement the capital
projects in FY16.
FY16 will be the first full year of the new rate model for Stormwater.

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.

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.

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,and the City's 435-space parking
garage.The Assistant City Manager directly supervises the administrative responsibilities of the City's parking manager,who, in
turn, oversees the Parking Enforcement staff(4.0 FTE). The Parking Clerk is not supervised or evaluated by the Parking Manager,
but rather by the City Treasurer. 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:
• CIP Item P001-Willson Lot Redesign & Improvements-$150,000; • CIP Item P004-Surface Parking Lot Hardware&Software
Systems-$50,000; • CIP Item P005- Portable Radio Replacement-$18,000; • CIP Item P007-Sidewalk Repalcement& Lighting
Install-Black,Armory&Willson Lots-$150,000; • CIP Item P014-Parking Garage Crack Maintenance& Repair-$20,000.
Accomplishments:
Anticipated for FY16: FY15 is again projected to have a positive bottom line as is the FY14 actual and FY15 budget,with the
expectation that the BPC can begin 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. FY15 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. FY16 will
temporarily lose parking spaces while several in-fill projects are underway. Afterward,the increase in garage and lot leases will
significantly add to the bottom line of the department.
Adopted Work Plan Items:
The Bozeman Parking Commission governs and sets the Overall Work Plan for the Parking Department. For the coming years,the
work items include:Working with the contracted firm to develop the overall standard for public parking lots(lighting,signage,
layout)and begin by completing one surface lot project and to work with the BPC to do an RFP for the future of parking to help
guide decisions moving forward as the demand has grown and the projected needs cannot be met with existing resources.

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 Department and MDT.

The Water Reclamation Facility(WRF) budget accounts for the costs associated with the treatment of the City's domestic,
commercial, and industrial wastewater.The WRF is an award-winning plant that serves to protect and enhance the water quality of
the East Gallatin River. PURPOSE: Ensure strict environmental compliance by discharging thoroughly treated water meeting or
surpassing all state and federal environmental standards.Through its beneficial reuse program,the WRF also maintains compliance
with EPA Part 503 Bio-solids regulations.All plant bio-solids are thoroughly digested and then land applied as a beneficial fertilizer
or composted for soil enhancement.The WRF is now at 99%completion of a significant plant expansion and technology upgrade
that will meet the growing demand for waste water services in our community.This plant enhancement has also enabled the
facility to begin removing nitrogen and phosphorus compounds as well as conventional pollutants.To the extent possible,these
plant improvements have been funded, in part, by economic stimulus(ARRA)grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and through wastewater impact fees.
Major Objectives:
• Protect and enhance the water quality of the East Gallatin River. • Consistently achieve compliance with all aspects of the city's
Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) permit administered by the Department of Environmental Quality. •
Maintain the mechanical reliability of the water reclamation facility to ensure uninterrupted operations. • Optimize the operational
performance of each treatment process and maximize removal efficiency. • Comply with all EPA 503 Bio-solids land application
requirements and regulations. • Minimize unpleasant odors.
