Bozeman Creek Floodplain Update
The City of Bozeman Engineering Department, Allied Engineering, and FEMA continue to negotiate the use of our locally funded and produced floodplain data. The most recent version of the proposed floodplain map shows more accurate (and therefore less impactful) flood ways and
areas. An official revised FEMA floodplain map is expected to be release during the first quarter
of 2019.

https://www.bozeman.net/city-projects/ncod-review Downtown Strategic Parking Management Plan
Strategies 1 through 5 have been completed.
Strategies 6 (Cash-in-Lieu), 7 (UDC Parking Requirements), and 8 (SID 565) are scheduled to
be addressed in 2018. I am working with City staff to develop a timeline. Strategy 10, focusing on data collection and analysis, was in part completed with the release of the 2017 Downtown Parking Study conducted by WTI.
Strategies 12, 13, and 14, which focus on signage, branding and wayfinding associated with
parking will be completed in 2018.
Strategy 15 (upgrade the parking technology systems at the garage and used for on-street management) the new T2 parking management system is completely “live” in use.
Discussion and Decision Items
Parking Projects & Budget Considerations
Chris updated the board that the URD term contract team had been selected consisting of Sanderson Stewart, A&E Architecture, DCI Engineering, and Carl Walker Parking. The first two
task orders for the team to work on will include: 1) Feasibility analysis of expanding Bridger Park
Garage; and 2) Feasibility analysis of additional structure parking sites.
Chris reminded the board that the second task order has $50,000 budgeted in the current URD
fiscal year, but the garage expansion project was not specifically budgeted for. He proposed paying for the additional feasibility analysis from the “public parking improvements” budget item
and had already discussed the option with the City Parking Manager. The board agreed that this
would be appropriate as the garage expansion is an improvement to an existing parking asset.
Downtown Plan Update Chris reminded the board that the draft framework presentations for the Downtown Bozeman
Improvement Plan had been rescheduled to October 29, 30, and 31st. He presented the board
with the specific event schedule which includes: three public events and stakeholder work
sessions for downtown boards, downtown business and property owners, other citizen advisory
boards, and city staff. Chris encouraged the board to attend the downtown board stakeholder meeting and/or any of the public sessions.
Meeting was adjourned at 1:05 pm
