$60,000 accomplishes. He asked for a list of completed street reconstruction projects how many are left
to complete.

the surplus of the street and curb reconstruction project over five years and asked about more funding
to offset costs.

Deputy Mayor-Chris Mehl: Motion
06:12:12 PM (00:14:46) Discussion

Page 4 of 21
Bozeman City Commission Meeting Minutes,November 18,2019
Cr. Krauss commented it appears to be a placeholder to augment the Special Improvement District (SID)
money, and they are not stand alone projects.
Cr. Pomeroy it makes sense, and she will support the motion.
Cr. Cunningham is comfortable with not knowing which project is associated with which funds,so he
will support the motion.
DM Mehl stated in fairness the$50,000 is not concurrent, and those are stand-alone projects.
06:18:48 PM (00:21:22)Amendment to the Motion to increase the Annual Curb Replacement and
Concrete Repair Program to$100,000 a year for the five years in the CIP.
Deputy Mayor-Chris Mehl: Motion
Commissioner-Jeff Krauss: 2nd
06:18:57 PM (00:21:31) Discussion
DM Mehl stated this is important for the curbs and concrete and this fund is in good shape.
Cr. Krauss doesn't thinks it's comparable to the bike trails and lanes item. He stated everything else on
the program is a specific project, but this is for augmenting an SID.
Cr. Cunningham wishes it were supported with a staff recommendation of what$100,000 versus
$60,000 produces and will see where the vote leads.
Mayor Andrus supports this because it gets us closer to the$150,000 and because there is plenty of
money, adding that amount should work fine.
DM Mehl stated because of the surplus,the additional$40,000 should be more than sufficient.
06:22:09 PM (00:24:43) Vote on the Amendment to the Motion to increase the Annual Curb
Replacement and Concrete Repair Program to$100,000 a year for the five years in the CIP. The motion
