Public comment
JP Pomnichowski, Planning Board President, brought up some topics that the Planning Board
wants to pursue to consider the greater growth area, such as parks, trails, and open space.
Special Presentation
Sally Broughton, teacher from Monforton Elementary School, and her 6lh grade class gave a
presentation from Project Citizen regarding restrooms in the downtown area.
Members of the class presented three suggestions. The first being a restroom in Soroptimist Park,
the second being to post signs and maps showing where the restrooms are in the downtown area, and the
third being that there should be a public restroom in the new parking garage.
The class favored the third suggestion and noted advantages such as a lower cost, because we are
already going to be building the garage. Disadvantages however were that it will take up room in the
garage, as well as possible vandalism and that the restroom wouldn't be open at all hours. The also noted
that there would need to be signs posted on Main Street to indicate that the restroom was available.
Mayor Krauss stated that this presentation was equal to presentations that come from professionals,
but that in order for action, they must have a public hearing and take input from the community. He noted
that they take the recommendations seriously and Cr. Jacobson will take it to the downtown business
boards.
Introduction
City Manager Kukulski introduced to the Commission, Mr. Brit Fontenot, the new City Clerk who
started on May 16, 2006.

Public Hearinl!s
1. Wastewater
This was the time and place for the public hearing on the update of the Wastewater Facility Plan.
Mayor Krauss opened the public hearing.
Project Engineer Bob Murray presented the staff report. He noted that staff has reviewed the
application in light of the applicable criteria and staff's findings are contained in the staff report. Staff has
forwarded a recommendation that the Commission adopt the plan. He noted that two weeks ago, they gave
a presentation on the Wastewater Facilities Plan (WWFP), and that the consultants will present tonight.
James Nicholson, Morrison and Maierle, introduced the presentation and stated the scope of the
study and the study area. They estimated 5% per year population growth over 20 years. The conclusions
are that the improvements are driven by growth.
Amanda McInnis stated that the Department of Environmental Quality, DEQ, hasn't gotten back
to us on the final restrictions of the permit, but that the first phase will remove more of the harmful
chemicals.
Bob Morrison summarized the treatment statistics. He noted that the 2025 projections will be an
increase of about 165% from where we are now. He stated that they feel the present discharge location is
the only possible location at this time. He added that the treatment level is needed no matter what the
future might bring. He concluded by stating that the proposed system doesn't limit the City in the future.
The following people spoke at the public hearing:
Steve Kelley, 4750 Jordan Spur Road
Paul Levine, DEQ
Joe Gudcowski, President of Montana River Action
Steve Hunt
Dale Spartus, Nelson Road
Responding to Cr. Becker, Mr. Nicholson responded that the 5% projection is a guess based on
trends. He also responded that we are not anticipating connecting our facility to other facilities.
Engineer Bob Murray noted that if we built out to the expected area, we'll be at about 200,000
people, and that will require a new facility plan.
Responding to Cr. Kirchhoff, Ms. McInnis noted that we currently make up about 25% of the E.
Gallatin River today. If that stayed consistent, in 2020, at 92,000 population, we will make about 50%,
at the lowest flow during a 10 year period. That is the number that DEQ uses for their discharge permit.
There is only one other plant in the state that remove the chemicals we will be removing.
05-22-2006
Page 4
Responding to Cr. Kirchhoff, Mr. Morrison responded that Phase 2 increases capacity and also
brings in effluent filtration, to further remove harmful stuff, however he noted that thc plant now does a
good job of removing bad stuff.
Ms. McInnis added that we have other places we can discharge the water instead of the river.
Responding to Cr. Kirchhoff, Dave Clark, responded that we are a long distance from a large
receiving body of water, and thinks the costs would escalate faster than the benefits for a regional plant.
Responding to Cr. Kirchhoff, Mr. Kukulski noted that we have concerns about the restrictions and
we're spending tens of millions of dollars and there isn't a lot being done for septic systems, package
plants, and smaller districts.
Responding to Cr. Rupp, Ms. McInnis noted we are very close to meeting the standards right now,
and Phase I deals primarily with the discharge. This plan gets us to the highest level of treatment that is
being done in the state.
Responding to Cr. Rupp, Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director, noted the rate increases will pay for
2/3 and impact fees will pay for 1/3.
Ms. McInnis noted there will be a rate study and impact fee study done to be sure the distribution
will be equitable.
Discussion
Cr. Beckcr noted that the advent of TDR and county zoning issues will address a lot of these, but
this is clearly the first part we have to do right now.
Mayor Krauss noted this is the best step we can take in the right direction to remove chemicals, but
stated that he's content to wait for the rate study to see what we might be looking at. He noted that we're
spending a lot of money on real science and engineering, and we're moving towards state of the art. He
stated that we're addressing this in a responsible way and he will support it.
Decision
It was moved by Cr. Rupp, seconded by Cr. Kirchhoff, to adopt the update of the Wastewater
Facility Plan.
The motion carried. Those voting Aye being Crs. Rupp, Kirchhoff, Jacobson, Becker, and Mayor
Krauss. Those voting No being none.
2. Samoson COAlADRlDev

05-22-2006
Page 5
at 427 West Curtiss Street, with two deviations, as requested by Lawrence and Carrie Sampson, under
application Z-06071.
Mayor Krauss opened the public hearing.
Planner Knight presented the staff report. He noted that staff has reviewed the application in light
of the applicable criteria and staff's findings are contained in the staff report. Staff has forwarded a
rccommendation of conditional approval. He noted that the structure is historically significant in the
neighborhood conservation overlay district, but the garage isn't. He also noted that there are numerous
similar structures in the neighborhood with similar encroachment.
Responding to Cr. Rupp, Mr. Knight responded that the setback will remain the same, but the
driveway will be lengthened.
The following people spoke at the public hearing:
Lawrence Sampson, 427 E. Curtiss
Decision
It was moved by Cr. Kirchhoff, seconded by Cr. Jacobson, that the Commission approve the request

the remaining area as parks, open space, streets, and alleys, located west of Cottonwood Road and south
of Huffine Lane, with two variances requested, under application P-060 14. Has been preliminarily
approved for zoning, and noted that there will be 25 single household RSLs, and one lO-unit multi-
household lot.
Planner Kozub presented the staff report. She noted that staff has reviewed the application in light
of the applicable criteria and staff's findings are contained in the staff report. Staff has forwarded a
recommendation of conditional approval for the requested variance from ** 18.42.060.D.4 and
18.42.080.C, and denial of the requested variance from ~ 18.44.080, and that the Commission approve the
Final Plat with the above recommended variations. She noted that there is one letter opposing the sidewalk
variance from the public. She also noted that all advisory boards recommended conditional approval.
Rob Pertzborn, Intrinsic Architecture, representing the landowner, stated that they have relocated
the mature trees, and the water course was relocated out of the Cottonwood Road right-of-way.
Responding to Cr. Rupp, Mr. Pertzborn noted they can put some of the stormwater into the
detention pond and later into the ditch.
Responding to Cr. Becker, Mr. Pertzborn noted they don't have plans for the park space credit they
will gain, they just want the ability to use it later.
Discussion
Responding to Cr. Rupp, Mr. Murray noted they don't have to discharge stormwater into the ditch.
If they can't get the permission to use the canal, they could run it to the norther potion of the subdivision,
and those issues won't exist.
Planner Susan Kozub noted they wouldn't need a variance if they don't discharge into the ditch.

4. Cottonwood Silos SP/COA
This was the time and place for the public hearing on the request for Site Plan and Certificate of
Appropriateness to allow redevelopment of property located on the south side of East Cottonwood Street's
500 Block, into eight single-household residences on individual lots, with three deviations, as requested
by ThinkTank Design Group Inc., for Mill District Silo's LLC, under application Z-06074.
Planner Bristor presented the staff report. She noted that staff has reviewed the application in light
of the applicable criteria and staff's findings are contained in the staff report. Staff has forwarded a
recommendation of conditional approval. She added that the silos are historically significant, and staff
finds the silo encroachment to be historically significant and supports it.
Responding to Cr. Becker, Ms. Bristor responded that, for parking reasons, the basements have to
be unfinished because staff felt the need to be on the safe side for parking.
Responding to Cr. Jacobson, Ms. Bristor noted the silos will be lived in. The design is the living
room and entry way, and the applicant will answer in better detail.
Eric Nelson, ThinkTank, representing the applicant, stated that this is part of the NURD. The
existing silos were built in the 1940's for the war effort to store grain, and to serve the Montana Flour Mill.
He added that there is no sidewalk on the south side of Cottonwood. He added that there is a significant
amount of mature vegetation on the site, and they intend on preserving the healthy trees.
Responding to Cr. Rupp, Mr. Nelson noted that all the structures will have three rooms. He thinks
that if they add one bedroom to the basement, they will still be within code conformance, but their
estimation is to use the basement for storage space.
Responding to Cr. Jacobson, Mr. Nelson noted that people will be prohibited from turning their
basements into more bedrooms.
The following people spoke at the public hearing:
Steve Barber, 513 E. Cottonwood
Rich Taps 517 E. Cottonwood
Velma McMeegan, 425 E. Cottonwood
Sherlie Addin, 717 N. Church
05-22-2006
Page 12
Responding to public comment, Mr. Nelson, stated that overall the metal siding will be non-
reflective. He noted that there are two builders who are qualified and will be purchasing the lot and the
set of plans to build, and they will have to build that design. He also mentioned that ss far as the density
issues, he thinks it's important to note that these are conforming city lots, and they are only seeking a
deviation to preserve the silo form, and the remaining designs are in complete conformance.
Discussion
Cr. Rupp complimented the applicant on doing a good job.

Action Items
1. Authorize the purchase of the Bozeman Public Librarv. located at 220 East Lamme.
This item was continued from May 15th.
City Manager Kukulski presented the details of the proposed purchase.
Cr. Rupp noted he's in favor of the purchase even though we don't have all the data, and he has
concern for how we pay for it, and thinks it should be spread out more.
Mr. Kukulski noted that as we move forward with the solid waste situation, he wants to be included
in the discussion as to what the best alternative is. He noted that by utilizing the solid waste fund to
purchase this, we would not be limited. He noted that we have moved out of the landfill business, and are
joining the regional system, therefore, with the fund set aside for post closure cost, and still retaining funds,
he would be supportive of that direction. He stated that there are state caps on how we can pay for those
services and enterprise funds don't have these caps.
Cr. Jacobson noted that the motion would take $1 million from the general fund's unreserved fund,
and we can't use that fund for salaries anyways.
Mr. Kukulski responded that we can take funds from the general fund cash reserve for salaries, as
well as for maintenance operations.
Cr. Jacobson noted that we could take it out of the unreserved fund, and it wouldn't be wise.
Mr. Kukulski noted that if we spend the $1 million, our reserve will be 12%, and this will affect
decisions we will make in the future.

Mr. Kukulski noted our budget will increase by about 6.6%, and about $400,000 is needed to fund
the same personnel from the previous year.
Ms. Rosenberry noted that if we are going to take money out of the General Fund reserve, it
requires a formal budget hearing, but with the enterprise fund, the authority has been given to the City
Manager. She stated that we would be back, probably on June 5, with a budget amendment.
Mr. Kukulski noted that our direction was to target an 18% cash reserve with the proposed budget
we will hear tonight.
Responding to Cr. Jacobson, Mr. Kukulski noted that our reserve has been going down over the
last few years.
Cr. Kirchhoff noted if we take the money from an enterprise fund, then we are saying that the rate
payers from solid waste are going to pay for our library. He stated that his thinking is that a rate payer
should pay a share of the service they enjoy, and the money in Solid Waste Fund is the accumulation of
those rate payers. He stated that he can endorse the motion tonight, with $1.5 million from the Solid Waste
Fund. He concluded by stating that the General Fund is community wide issues.
Mr. Mr. Kukulski noted that the reason he would advise against the Valley Unit Funds is that those
funds are earmarked for the renovations of the buildings that will house the Police Department and the
possible move of City Hall.
Responding to Cr. Becker, Mr. Kukulski responded that we could have this building be the property
of the Solid Waste Fund.
Cr. Secker noted that it's clear that to pull the million dollars from the General Fund will place an
undue burden and he can't support taking the money from the General Fund at this time, but taking this
money from the Solid Waste Fund will not jeopardize the solid waste position.
Mayor Krauss noted he will vote no as well. Spending $1 million from the General Fund will
create a huge deficit and it's fiscally irresponsible to do deficit spending. He noted that there are numerous
demands on general funds that include civic service and it's important to listen to the City Manager and
Finance Director and the other city staff. He concluded that the Commission has made a lot of sacrifices
to build that reserve and he can't see spending it now.
Cr. Jacobson stated that she doesn't agree with the Mayor, and that we're not doing deficit spending
here, because we're taking it out of the unreserved fund. She added that if we have some sort of
emergency, we will still be able to draw on the Solid Waste Fund. She noted that we're not deficit
spending, and to call it that misleads the public.
Mayor Krauss disagreed by citing his 15 years experience in public accounting, and we're
increasing our expenditures above the revenue we're taking in.

Mr. Kukulski noted that the only area he wants to emphasize is that as we look into the future, the
ability to take care of facility needs, and for the Police Department, and we're in pretty good shape with
the Stiff Building.
