David Kack, Director of Smaller Urban and Rural Livability Center at Montana State University introduced himself and gave a brief description of his project. He is working on starting a transportation demand management program, which will look at getting people to destinations (work, etc.) more efficiently. More on the demand side and less on the supply side of parking. Corey Lawrence gave an update on the Armory project. E. Presentation by Brit Fontenot and David Fine (COB, Economic Development) on proposed changes to parking requirements in Midtown. Midtown is now zoned B2M, between Babcock and Oak as well as most of the commercial areas. A problem in this area is that there is too much parking. There are huge parking lots in front of all the businesses, due to the prior code that required large setbacks from the street. Also, many of the buildings are old and being torn down. The setback and parking requirements in this area are being changed to allow for expanded economic development of this land and make it easier to encourage investors to develop this area. F. Presentation from Bill Clem (Kerbspace Inc.) regarding utilization of a clean energy grant to place two electric vehicle charging stations in the Rouse Street parking lot; provide direction to staff on how to proceed with this issue. (See Attachment Exhibit 2) Moved to a later meeting. G. Action Items 1. Resolution 2017-02 “Recommending the Bozeman City Commission adopt new rates for the Montana State University and Bozeman High School Residential Districts.” (See Attachment Exhibit 3) Bring to the City Commission as an action item. The Bozeman Parking Commission approved Resolution 2017-02 for the permit fee to change from $10 to $20.

Discuss/Approve/Deny Professional Services Agreement with Rick Williams Consulting Inc. (See Attachment Exhibit 4) Currently the City of Bozeman does not have a contract with Rick Williams.

Discuss/Approve/Deny “Temporary On-Street Parking Permit” program. (See Attachment Exhibit 7) Downtown parking permits for contractors have been in place since 2009-2010 (roughly), the cost is $10 per day or $50 for two weeks. The requirements for these are limited. There is no time limit nor a limit on the number of permits that can be purchased. This program is currently not codified in the Bozeman Municipal Code. Bozeman Parking Enforcement staff recommends that is becomes a city code with a few more restrictions and that a resolution be passed to adopt the fee at $20 per day. These fees will not be prorated and would only be good from 1 to 30 days. Trailers will not be able to purchase permits and all vehicles that purchase permits will need to still obey all parking ordnances. Bozeman Parking Commission moved to request that staff move forward to implement guidelines 1-10 now. Then, in the near future, work with the City Attorney’s office to get it codified and put a resolution in front of the City Commission to set the rate at $20.

Parking Manager Report & FY 18 Budget Preparation Update (See Attachment Exhibit 8) Monthly reports will continued to be updated for Bozeman Parking Commission meetings. I. New Business City Commission would like the Bozeman Parking Commission to review all side street parking restrictions. Ed is working with the GIS department and Engineering to see where the inconsistencies exist and have it mapped out within the appropriate time period to give to the City Commission. How are parking requirements being met with future building projects? Ed will continue to work closely with Community Development to see how parking will play out in future developments. J. Adjournment. 9:35:41 AM The next Bozeman Parking Commission meeting will be held May 11th, 2017 at 7:30am at City Hall. Bozeman Parking Commission meetings are open to all members of the public.
