RE: Amended language for Resolution 5053—Calling for a Referendum on the Creation
of Parks and Trails Special District
Please consider the following adjustments to Section 9 of Resolution 5053. I show the additional
language below as underlined and the deleted language by strikethrough. I recommended the
following motion to implement this change: "I move to adopt Resolution 5053 submitting to the
voters on May 5, 2020, a referendum on creation of the Parks and Trails Special District and
amend Section 9 as provided for in the City Attorney's Memorandum dated December 2, 2019."
The amended ballot language, if amended and adopted, would read:
"Shall the proposition to organize the City of Bozeman Parks and Trails Special District
47 be adopted?
o Yes
o No
(By voting yes,you support creation of City of Bozeman Parks and Trails Special District and
authorize the City to annually levy assessments for the purpose of providing maintenance,
purchasing, and improving services for City-owned or managed parks, open space and trails,
related amenities and facilities, !and, personnel, supplies, and equipment under the
responsibility and care of the City of Bozeman Parks &Recreation Department and providing
for other matters properly relating thereto.)"
