Finance Report
Chris presented the FY18 year-end financials as of June 30, 2018. He highlighted that revenues
ended up by $6,000 over budget while total expenses were approximately $15,000 below
expectations. Chris explained that was in part since he intentionally underestimates revenues
and overestimates expenses when drafting the budget. He concluded by noting that the year-end assessment balance was in excess of $110,000, but accounting for the $44,000 in board
approved project expenses the net year-end balance of cash on-hand was $67,000.
Chris also provided the September finance report showing expected revenue and expenses for
the first 10 weeks of the fiscal year.
The board had no questions about the finance report.

Discussion and Decision Item
Downtown Plan Update
Chris gave a brief update about the rescheduled Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan events. He said the consultant team will be presenting the draft framework and concepts on
October 29, 30, and 31st. In addition to at least three public events, there will be a series of
stakeholder work sessions including: downtown boards, various citizen advisory boards, city
staff, and downtown property and business owners.
Eric Nelson suggested that the BID and URD boards meet together with the consultant team and others agreed that would be a good idea.
