Executive Summary
June 22, 2020
Bozeman City Residents and City Commission:
We are pleased to present to you the Approved Budget for Fiscal Year 2020‐2021 (FY21). This budget represents
the thoughtful work of dozens of people in developing the spending plan for our organization for the coming fiscal
year. Bozeman is a vital, growing, and changing city. The City’s total budget this year is estimated to be $121.8
million. This will support 460.11 full‐time equivalent employees and $20.7 million in capital spending. The FY21
budget estimates an annual increase in taxes and assessments for the typical residential property owner of $64.64,
or $5.39 per month. This includes a full year payment of Bozeman Public Safety Center bonds, the new Parks &
Trails District assessment and other changes based on recent rate studies, growth, inflation, and Strategic Plan
objectives.
COVID‐19 Financial Challenges and Outlook
With the response to COVID‐19 the United States’ economy has fallen into a recession and in some areas is moving
into recovery. There is still a possibility the economy could fall into a depression. This economic downturn is unlike
any other our economy has seen with its swift changes. As to what type of recession we will have has yet to be
entirely predicted but is not expected to fall into a depression at this time. A recession more similar to the one the
U.S. encountered in the 1950’s is predicted, where we would have a sharp downturn for the next several months,
followed by rapid growth in early 2021. We could also be headed towards a recession which follows the pattern of
the Great Recession that started in 2008. This budget assumes the first more “U” shaped recession and recovery
but we continue to monitor and plan for a possible longer recession.
We w ill continue to watch all cash flow in all funds and from a ll sources. We are looking
in greater detail at the funding that is based on charges for services and fines such as
water/sewer/solid waste/recreation programs/parking tickets. In addition, we are
tracking our costs for COVID‐19 in total and for what is eligible for reimbursement from
Federal and State grants. With this extreme uncertainty of how this recession will work
preparing different solutions for each scenario will be needed as we move into FY21.
This time has also emphasized the need for healthy reserves to ensure the City’s ability
to weather these types of economic down turns.
Parks & Trails District
May 5, 2020 the Citizens of Bozeman voted to approve the creation of a Parks & Trails District. The plan for this
district have been in the works for years and developed first with consultants and furthered in the most recent
Capital Improvement Plan and internal staffing plan. A citywide park and trail district is an effort to solve three
major issues:
Deferred Maintenance: The cost of deferred maintenance in our parks and trails is currently ~$6.8 million.
This includes assets that need to be repaired or replaced because they are beyond their useful life.
Will continue to
monitor the impact
of COVID‐19 on City
Expenditures and the
economy
1
Operations and Maintenance: Our current level of service for park and trail maintenance is reactionary in
nature. The District will provide a funding source for current city parks and trails, new park projects coming
on‐line soon (Story Mill Park, Sports Park, Path to the M, etc.) and 235 acres of neighborhood parks and
trails throughout the city that property owners associations are currently maintaining. The Commission
determined a five‐year phase in plan of s silver level of services across all parks.
Equity: The district eliminates the need for homeowner associations (HOAs) to maintain city parks and trails
in their subdivision through HOA fees. These city property owners who currently pay both general taxes
and HOA fees for park and trail maintenance will no longer be paying a higher share of the system costs.
All city property owners will pay an annual assessment for park and trail maintenance.
The first steps will be taking on the HOA parks and maintaining them at our current level of service. As we move
into years two‐five we will address deferred maintenance and un der the five year ramp up it will take us a little over
ten years to address our current back log. In addition, over the next five years we will be increasing the level service
and will hope to achieve silver level of service by year‐ 5 for all City owned parks.
Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan significantly informs the items Approved in the FY21 budget. The FY19 budget began the first
steps in accomplishing this plan, while FY20 increased the focus throughout the City. Below are some of the efforts
towards the strategic plan with the Top 7 Commission Priorities highlighted (greater detail regarding strategic plan
efforts by division can be found in the Activity Detail section of this document):
1) An Engaged Community. Fostering successful collaboration with other public agencies and
building on our successes, which is being achieved through City‐County Regional Planning and
other areas such as the CATS (EPIC‐N) program with MSU. We are continuing our work to foster a
culture of civic engagement by using our newly adopted communication plan for the organization\
to expand Community Outreach.
2) An Innovative Economy. Supporting retention and growth of both the traded and local business
sectors in coordination with the Economic Development Plan that is budgeted to be updated.
Working with our urban renewal districts we are strategically investing in infrastructure as a
me c h a n i s m t o e n c o u r a g e e c o n o m i c d e v e l o p m e n t . W e a r e r e v i e w i n g policy and will aid the
Commission in developing its steps towards its priority of Tax Fairness and Affordability.
Year 1‐ Take on HOA
Parks
Year 2‐ Begin
addressing deferred
maintenance
Year 3‐ Start to bring up
all Parks to a higher
level of service
Year 4‐Continue
deferred maintenance
work and raising level of
service
Year 5‐Silver level of
services

3) A Safe, Welcoming Community. Support increased capacity of the Community‐based Crisis
Response Program with partners as the program is continually refined and with the intent to add
an additional community‐based therapist co‐responder in 2020 with the assistance of a grant
obtained by Western Montana Mental Health‐Gallatin.
4) A Well‐Planned City. We have developed a Comprehensive Parks Maintenance and Facilities
Funding Program and with the recent voter approval of the Parks & Trails District we will be
implementing the District. Community Housing will be continuing the implementation of its action
plan with refining project selection and designing funding options such as loan programs, which
will provide more Affordable Housing opportunities. We have Planning & Land Use
Initiatives with the City County Regional Planning, NCOD Update Part II and a Historic
Preservation Plan. We will continue moving forward with our Annexation Analysis & Study
with bringing back the extension of services plan to the Commission and recommendations for
next steps.
5 ) A C r e a t i ve , L e a r n i n g C u l t u r e . Developing an ordinance to create a program for all public
buildings built to have 1% of the construction costs to be set aside for art in that public space. This
type of program provides a guaranteed funding mechanism for the acquisition of artwork for new
public facilities and civic spaces.
6) A Sustainable Environment. This Approved Budget looks at Climate Action and increases the
Sustainability Divisions’ budget by 400%, funding such programs as:
Economic Analysis for Community Renewable Energy ‐ This will help inform Commission policy
and planning, this inter‐local study involving the communities of Bozeman, Missoula, and
Helena will model the environmental benefits and rate impacts associated with pursuing utility‐
scale clean energy by 2030.
UDC/Compact Development Standards for EV & Building Electrification‐ With battery prices
declining, Electric Vehicle (EV) sales have the potential to surge again following the current
pandemic. The City can ensure that the engineering standards for future developments are
capable of accommodating future technology.
7) A High Performance Organization. “utilizing key performance and cost measures to monitor,
track, and improve the planning and delivery of City programs and services, and promote greater
accountability, effectiveness and efficiency” (Strategy 7.4 – Performance Metrics).
Specific Performance Measures are updated annually to compliment the budget. These
measures help communicate trends and justify additional resources needed to maintain an
acceptable level of service.
Plans for additional qualitative measures will be implemented in FY21 through a broad
community survey. Information collected through customer satisfaction and citizen surveys
will be used to provide valuable perspective complimentary to the quantitative measures.

FY21 Approved Budget
The City of Bozeman’s Fiscal Year 2021 budget shows decreases when comparing it to FY20 and one reason for this
was the bond issuance and the construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center (BPSC) in FY20. As compared to
past budgets and FY20 without the BPSC the FY21 budget is increasing.
Revenues
Property Taxes‐ With the addition of the Parks & Trails District the Parks budget moves outside the general
fund mills, we recommend a decrease in the property tax mill levy. This year, is the
first full bond payment for the Bozeman Public Safety Center, the levy in total is
recommended at 169.52 mills on all taxable property within city limits. To calculate
property tax revenues, a 3.2% growth rate is assumed from new construction,
leaving the estimated value of a mill at $129,408. The total annual property tax for
the median home is estimated to be $817.10, an $86.57 decrease from the prior year.
Special Assessments‐ City property owners pay annual Street maintenance,
Arterial Street, Tree maintenance and the new Parks & Trails assessments based on
the square footage of the lot they own. With the growth of the street network and
other rising costs, the Street Maintenance FY21 budget is larger; therefore, 8% is
the increase in the assessment. With the gas tax funding decreasing and inflation
c ost s th e re is a 3% i nc rease Ap p roved for Art e ri al & Col l e ct or fund. For Tree
Maintenance we needed an inflationary increase of 2%. Parks & Trails is the initial
rate as presented to the Commission of $0.017 per square foot.
Utility Rates‐ the City completed a water and sewer system rate study in FY20 and
adopted rates for FY21, which adjusted both water and sewer rates for all user
classes based on costs of services. The residential customer is not seeing any
change for water and sewer rates but the other categories do see an increase
ranging from 2% to 20%. For Stormwater we are recommending a 5% increase in the Stormwater fees to keep
up with growth and construction costs, we have a rate study planned to form recommendations going forward.
Expenditures
Staffing‐ Budgets for personnel expenditures include both increases in wages and benefit costs, and the
addition of some positions to our work teams. With the highly competitive job market in Bozeman, extremely
low unemployment and surrounding areas, we will need to make pay adjustments that attempt to keep up with
the wage inflation of our competitors. In order to take a strategic approach to staffing, we develop a three‐
year plan to address staffing levels across all departments in the organization. With the creation of the Parks
District we will be adding 5.9 FTE and we have 8 FTE being added to Public Works to continue our level of service
as the City grows. We are recommending a total addition of 19.43 FTE.

Operating‐ Many factors have caused changes in operational budgets, which vary by fund. Growth, inflation,
capital projects, and Strategic Plan priorities have influenced increases in operating costs. For FY21, operational
costs total $45 million, which is a 6% increase from FY20. This increase is in many areas and throughout most
departments. A large increase does come from the Parks & Trails district with continued efforts with our newer
larger parks and taking over Home Owner Association parks.
Capital‐ FY21 has over $20.7 million in capital expenditures, which is a 72% decrease over FY20. FY 20 had the
Bozeman Public Safety Center’s $40 million construction. There are major roads
funded through the Street Impact Fee Fund and Arterial Collector District totaling
in $7.5 million. Water and Sewer projects total $6.5 million. Road maintenance,
vehicle replacements, and building improvements are in the plan as well. Parks will
be adding parking to the Storymill Community Park, and Pickleball courts at Bogert
Park. COVID‐19 has not caused us to delay any capital projects and many we want
to get moving quickly to aid in the local economy recovery efforts.
Reserves
The FY21 budget has a $345,586 decrease in total fund balances. The Commission voted to remain at their current
reserve level of 16.67% of annual revenues. We recommended that the Commission move towards the Government
Finance Officer Association’s updated best practice with a risk‐based approach. Using the risk based approach, see
appendix D, we have determined a reserve 17% of expenditures as the minimum and also recommended, an
additional amount for unexpected expenditures and to aid in economic down turns. With economic changes we
need to proceed with caution with the Bozeman Public Safety Center’s budget counting on the sale of Fire Station
1 to be at least $2.5 million and with other charges for services in the General fund that might be impacted if there
is a resurgence of COVID‐19. Due to the current economic factors the Commission felt at this time the City should
not move to a new reserve policy. In Special Revenue and Enterprise funds, efforts have been made to maintain a
reasonable fund balance based on the operating conditions and circumstances of the fund.
FY21 Citizen Impact
A typical residential property owner will see taxes and assessment increases of $64.64 for the year, or $5.39 per
month. The estimated cost per mill is $4.82. The typical resident is calculated using an average sized lot (7,500s
qft), median home of $354,000 (this was the median home taxable value at last appraisal cycle in FY20) and water
use of 10‐HCF (would be charged tier 2):

Looking Forward
In developing this year’s spending plan, we realize that there are a number of projects on the near horizon that will
impact our budget in the coming years. We have been doing the work to plan for them at the financial and
operational level, and they represent exciting opportunities and significant challenges for our community and
organization.
Bozeman Public Safety Center full bond payments levy and operational mills – Fiscal Year 2022 the City will begin
funding operational costs for the building, including added staff. Added costs are expected to be approximately
$524,000. The funding would come from a General Fund mill levy increase and we have shown in the Mill Levy
calculation in the Budget Summary section to reserve this needed mill capacity.
Landfill Monitoring‐ We use general fund mill levies to fund continued monitoring of the former landfill. We
continue to monitor and we are seeing an increase in funding to keep compliance. We will be taking a longer look
and include this in our upcoming capital plan. This might include future debt financing for certain projects and the
general fund mills will be funding debt payments and other needed expenditures.
COVID‐19‐ The COVID‐19 response and impact will continue well into FY21 and could impact future years with the
economic changes. This is why we have emphasized the need to align with best practices for minimum reserves and
some cushioning beyond to aid with any short falls from the viruses impact.
Conclusion
In closing, we are thankful to the Commission, community members, and staff who participated in the many
processes that resulted in this budget. Staff spent many hours discussing the FY21 budget, designing many
scenarios and options to plan for economic changes due to COVID‐19. Working together, we have consistently found
innovative ways to deliver services and invest in our community in fiscally responsible ways. We believe that the
FY21 Approved Budget will allow us to continue to operate and advance the City of Bozeman.
We are a resilient, enterprising, and creative community. The FY21 Approved Budget is an achievable plan to
provide efficient and effective services, and to achieve the Commission’s vision and priorities set out in the Strategic
Plan for the City of Bozeman.
Respectfully,
Jeff Mihelich City Manager

Budget Summary
Municipal budgets serve a number of important functions. In addition to laying out a spending plan for the city, and
allocating resources to meet the diverse needs of the community, Bozeman’s budget:
Is a principal policy and management tool for the city’s administration, reflecting and defining the annual
work program;
Provides a framework for the city to accomplish its vision and strategic plan; and
Reflects core city values of integrity, leadership, service, and teamwork.
This Budget Summary provides information about the city, along with information about the budget process,

Background
The City of Bozeman is located on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains and is the county seat of Gallatin
County, Montana. Gallatin County encompasses over 2,500 square miles, bordering Yellowstone National Park to
its south. The City encompasses an area over 18 square miles with its next‐closest municipality being the City of
Belgrade, approximately 7 miles from our outermost boundary. Bozeman is located 143 miles west of Billings and
200 miles east of Missoula. Named after one of its early settlers, John Bozeman, the town was incorporated in 1874
and declared a city in 1883 before Montana was admitted into the United State in 1889. Bozeman is home to
Montana State University – Bozeman and the Fighting Bobcats. Th e local newspaper is the Bozeman Daily Chronicle,
and the City is served by Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport at Gallatin Field.
Today, Bozeman is the fourth largest city in the state and is the principal city of the Bozeman micropolitan area,
which consists of all of Gallatin County. The
City is named after John M. Bozeman, founder

13
FY2021 Goals
The Commission reviewed the five priorities from FY20 and added to addition priorities. The seven priorities guiding
the FY21 budget are:
Community Outreach
Affordable Housing
Planning & Land Use Initiatives
Annexation Analysis & Study
Parks Maintenance District
Climate Action
Tax Fairness and Affordability
Performance Measures
Specific Performance Measures are updated annually to compliment the budget. These measures help
communicate trends and justify additional resources needed to maintain an acceptable level of serivce. Most
charts include a “target” or “standard”, describing the overall goal or instustry norm, respectively.
Extensive effort is made each year to identify relevant metrics to support decisions throughout the City’s budget
process. At least three years of data is used to demonstrate trends in order to provide valuable context as it
relates to an overall increase or decrease over time. Current fiscal year “Approved” figures represent previously
adopted estimates, while future fiscal year “Recommended” figures represent estimates based on projected
changes for the upcoming budget cycle.
Estimates for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) were established prior to the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Changes in both FY20 & FY21 projections are likely to be experienced across all Divisions.
Measures that are at risk include a graphical footnote as a placeholder while a thorough effort
is made over the coming year to analyze any impact.
Budget metrics improve confidence in municipal management, ensuring that limited resources are focused on the
most pressing issues, including againg infrastructure and new growth.
FY2021 Economic Outlook
The population of the City has been growing over the last ten years. There were 245 new single family homes and
546 multi‐family residential units built in Bozeman in 2019. This growth has increased the need for City services
and infrastructure. Montana State University has seen a steady growth of enrollment over the last three years as
well.
With the response to COVID‐19 the United States’ (U.S.) economy has fallen into a recession and could fall into a
depression. This economic downturn is unlike any other our economy has seen with its swift changes. As to what
type of recession we will have has yet to be entirely predicted but is not expected to fall into a depression at this
time. A recession more similar to the one the U.S. encountered in the 1950’s is predicted, where we would have a
sharp downturn for the next several months, followed by rapid growth in early 2021. We could also be headed
towards a recession, which follows the pattern of the Great Recession that started in 2008. This would be a result
of drawn out response to COVID‐19 that would increase the odds that the U.S. could have a much more severe
recession, which lasts a long time with only slow growth on the rebound. For this budget we have estimated a u‐
shaped recovery.
14
The Consumer Price Index has grown over the last 10 years for the united State and particularly for the Western
States. For FY19 the three year average change was 2.04% while the Western State CPI‐U is showing 3.25% three
year average change.
Before COVID‐19 the unemployment rate is 2.4% and per capita income is $29,097. The median home price for
2019 was $429,000. The top three major employers are Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, Oracle America and Bozeman
School District #7.
See Appendix A for more statistical details about the City’s demographics and tax base.
Budget Process
The City plans for the long‐term needs of our community through a number of efforts and studies. Consultants
and staff, with numerous public hearings and advisory board meetings prior to their formal adoption by the
Commission, usually develop these documents. Once adopted, we work diligently to implement the
recommendations and changes outlined in the plans. The starting point is the Strategic Plan and then the other
master plans that have been developed for each area of concern or study. Along with these documents, the
capital improvement plan is used to budget for capital projects. The following chart outlines our process and
timing for the budget:

Funding Structure
To better understand this budget document a basic understanding of the structure, often‐used terms, and fund
types is helpful. The City’s operating expenditures are organized into the following hierarchical categories:
Activities, Departments, Divisions, and Budget Units.
Activity: Activity represents the highest level of summarization used in the City’s financial structure. This
level is primarily used for entity‐wide financial reporting and for summarization in this budget document.
Department: Department is the second level of summarization used in the City’s financial structure. This
function classification represents a grouping of related operations and programs aimed at accomplishing a
broad goal or providing a major service.
Division: Department can be further split into divisions, which are usually associated with functioning work
groups that have more limited sets of work responsibilities. Their primary purpose is organizational and
budgetary accountability.
Budget Unit: Divisions may be further subdivided into budget units. A budget unit is used to account for
a specific service performed within a division in the pursuit of individual goals and objectives. A budget
unit is aimed at accomplishing a specific service or regulatory program for which a government is
responsible.
Funds:
The activities are funded through various means that are accounted for within specific funds. The City has a
comprehensive fund plan for financial accounting in accordance with the provisions of the recommendations of the
National Council on Governmental Accounting as outlined in their publication Governmental Accounting, Auditing,
and Financial Reporting (GAAFR), which is the standard accounting guide for local governments.

Governmental funds are a group of funds that account for activities associated with the City's basic operations. This
group of funds uses a modified accrual basis of accounting and focuses on operating revenues and expenditures.
General Fund: The General Fund is used to account for all
financial resources of the City, except for those required to be
accounted for in another fund. The General Fund supports
such basic services as the Legislative Branch, Judicial Branch,
General Administration, Police, Fire, Finance, Engineering,
Recreation, and Library services. The City's General Fund is
financed heavily by property taxes, which provide nearly half
of the General Fund revenue.
Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue Funds are used to
account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other
than expendable trusts, or for major capital projects) that are
legally restricted to expenditure for specific purposes.
Debt Service Funds: Debt Service Funds are used to account
for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of,
general long‐term debt principal and interest.
Capital Project Funds: Capital Project Funds are used to
account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition
or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds).
Proprietary Fund Types
Proprietary funds are a group of funds that account for activities that are often seen in the private sector and are
operated in a similar manner as in the private sector. This group of funds uses a full accrual basis of accounting and
focuses on net income and capital maintenance.
Internal Service Funds: Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services
provided by one department to other departments on a cost‐reimbursement basis.
Enterprise Funds: Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises‐‐where the intent of the governing body is that the costs
(expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis
be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Fiduciary Fund Types
Fiduciary funds are trust and agency funds that account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee capacity
or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governmental units, or other funds. These include
expendable trust funds, non‐ expendable trust funds, pension trust funds, and agency funds.
Trust Funds: Trust Funds are used to account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee capacity.
These include (a) expendable trust funds, (b) permanent trust funds, and (c) pension trust funds. Trust
Funds are supported by donations and interest income.

Budget Policies
State statute provides the “Local Government Budget Act” in MCA 7‐6‐4001. This section of the law was adopted
by the 2001 Legislature to replace the “Municipal Budget Law” and other various sections of code that related to
city finances. See detailed Budget and Fiscal Policies in Appendix B. The law limits the amount of expenditures to
recommended appropriations, requires reporting to the State after final budgets and tax levies are adopted, and
provides for a detailed preliminary and final budget adoption within the confines of the State determined property
tax assessment time‐table. The Budget must be “balanced,” and the City can use fund balance as a resource to
balance the budget. Fund balance should not be used as a long‐term approach to balancing the budget. Planned
uses of fund balances should be limited.
It is also appropriate to use fund balance when fund balances have increased beyond the reserve requirements due
to higher than anticipated revenues. In this circumstance, the use of fund balances will be used for one‐time
expenditures, not ongoing operating costs. In all circumstances, it is important to retain sufficient undesignated
fund balance for unforeseen circumstances. The City's budget encompasses both the operating budget and the
capital improvement budget. Each budget unit includes amounts appropriated for both operating expenses and
capital items
Basis of Budgeting
The basis of budgeting and accounting refers to when a transaction or related event is recognized in an agency’s
budget, or in the operating statement, both of which follow GAAP principles. All governmental funds (including the
general, special revenue, debt service and capital projects funds) use modified accrual as both the basis of budgeting
and for accounting/financial reporting. Under the modified accrual system, revenues are recognized in the
accounting period in which they become “measurable and available.” “Measurable” means the amount of the
transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Property tax is reported as a receivable and deferred revenue
when the levy is certified and as a revenue when due for collection in the subsequent year. An allowance for
estimated uncollectible taxes is included in the estimated tax needed to balance the budget.
The basis of accounting for proprietary funds is full accrual, where revenues are recognized when earned and
expenditures when they are incurred. The basis of budgeting for proprietary funds is full accrual with the exceptions
of depreciation and amortization. For capital assets and capital purchases, funds are budgeted from a perspective
of the actual cash outlay required (cash basis).
Financial and Reserve Polices
The following financial policies are established to provide direction in the fulfilling of duties and responsibilities for
the City of Bozeman. The following is a summary of the policies that have a direct impact on the budget process; a
complete listing of Fiscal Policies to be adopted with the budget are in Appendix B.
Long‐range Planning
The City needs to have the ability to anticipate future challenges in revenue and expense imbalances so that
corrective action can be taken before a crisis develops. To pro vide city officials with pertinent data to make decisions
for multi‐year policy direction, the Finance Director prepares revenue and expenditure forecasts. These forecasts
will identify changes in revenue and expenditures due to projected new development in the City, program changes,
collective bargaining agreements, asset replacement schedules and capital projects coming online.
18
Capital Planning, and Asset Inventory and Condition Assessment
The City annually prepares its Capital Improvement Program to plan capital projects and equipment needs for a
five‐year period. The plan is created on the fund basis and reviews all capital needs greater than $10,000. The plan
can be found on the city website.
Revenue Policies
The City values a diversified mix of revenue sources to mitigate the risk of volatility. The major source of revenue
for the General Fund is property tax, which comprises 56% percent of total General Fund revenue in 2019. Since
property values are impacted by the economy and housing market, it is important to make every effort to improve
the diversity of the City’s revenue sources. Tax dollars should support essential city services that benefit and are
available to everyone in the community (such as parks, police and fire protection). For services that largely or solely
benefit individuals, the City should recover full or partial costs of service delivery through user fees.
Use of One‐time and Unpredictable Revenues ‐ One‐time revenues should be used only for one‐time
expenditures and not for ongoing expenditures. By definition, one‐time revenues cannot be relied on in future
budget years. Appropriate uses of one‐time revenues include early debt retirement, capital expenditures that
will reduce operating costs or address deferred capital needs, and special projects that will not incur ongoing
operating costs.
Expenditure Policies
Expenses should always be for City operations and strategic goals. Department heads and the Finance Department
monitor expenditures. All expenditures must comply with City laws, rules and regulations and have proper support
and authorization.
Debt Capacity, Issuance and Management
The City shall evaluate and consider the following factors in analyzing, reviewing and recommending the issuance
of obligations before presenting a proposal to the Commission and voters as needed:
1. Purpose, feasibility and public benefit of the project
2. Impact on debt ratios generally applied by rating agencies
3. Availability of appropriate revenue stream(s)
4. Aggregate debt burden upon the City's tax base, including other entities' tax supported debt
5. Analysis of financing and funding alternatives, including
available reserves from other City funds
Awards and Accomplishments
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and
Canada (GFOA) presented an award of Distinguished Budget
Presentation to the City of Bozeman for its annual budget for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 2019. The City has received this award for each
budget it has prepared in the past 28 years.
In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a
budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document,
as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a communications
device.

FY2021 Revenues
Overall, revenues are estimated at $121.4 million, a $64 million decrease or 34%, over the prior year. The large
difference is mainly due to the bond issuance for the Bozeman Public Safety Center, along with water and sewer
capacity projects being funded through financing that occurred in FY20. Charges for services make up 47% of
revenues, followed by taxes at 23%.
For the General Fund, taxes make up 51% of the revenue sources followed by intergovernmental revenue.

FY2021 Appropriations
Expenditures, often called “Appropriations,” are classified under one of six major categories: Personnel & Benefits,
Operating Expense, Capital, Debt Service, Transfers, and Other Financing Uses. The graph below shows the relative
percentage of the FY21 budget expenditures for all funds. Operations makes up 37%, followed by Personnel at 34%
and Capital at 17%.
In general, governmental agencies see their largest percentage of expenditures as personnel. With our growing
City, there is a need for more infrastructure spending. The General Fund personnel expenses are a much higher
percentage, at 67%. There are fewer capital items in the General Fund than all the funds as a whole.

Fund Summaries
The purpose of fund summaries is to capture and detail the financial condition of each City fund. A fund summary
provides information on revenues, expenditures and ending funds available. In addition, it functions as a planning
mechanism, as it allows expenditures to be matched to available revenues and/or fund balance. Fund summaries
also identify components of funds available and anticipated uses. It is important to note that sources and uses are
always balanced because a fund’s sources either are expended, become restricted, committed or assigned, or
become unrestricted (unreserved or undesignated) funds available.
City funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. By
maintaining separate funds, the City is able to comply with laws that require certain money to be spent for specific
purposes.

General Fund
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for those required to be accounted
for in another fund. The General Fund supports such basic services as the General Administration, Police, Fire,
Finance, Recreation, and Library services. Over the past ten years, the average percent increase in revenue is 2%
while expenditure change is 4%.
Revenues
The City's General Fund is financed heavily by property taxes, which provide nearly half of the General Fund
revenue. Other revenue sources include: licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services,
fines and forfeitures, interest on investments, operating transfers, and miscellaneous revenues. For the budget, we
have estimated 3.2% growth and have proposed reducing mills with Parks operations being funded through the
new District. Other revenues are estimated with some impact from COIVD‐19. We are estimating the General Fund
to generate $32.8 million in total revenue, with 51% is from property taxes, 25% from the State Entitlement share

Fund Balance
The City adopted policy for General Fund Reserve is to maintain at least 16.67% of the year’s revenue in ending
fund balance. This was based on former Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) best practice. We have
done an analysis based on GFOA new recommended risk based approach. Based on this analysis, see Appendix D,
we are recommending 17% of expenditures be the minimum reserve. Due to the current economic factors the
Commission felt at this time the City should not move to a new reserve policy.

Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted
to expenditure for specific purposes. The revenue is generated in different ways; some have assessments on
properties, property taxes, charges for services, and some are funded through grants or donations. The City
currently has 119 special revenue funds with a total of $36.6 million expenditures planned in FY21. Information on
the programs funded or partially funded by these Special Revenue Funds can be found in the description by division
in the Activity/Division Detail section. Highlighted in the following discussion are our Transportation special revenue
funds and some of our major program special revenue funds, followed by the financial information for all special
revenue funds.
Transportation Special Revenue funds
Street Maintenance Fund relies on assessments for revenue generation for street maintenance and reconstruction.
The City expanded, the Streets program starting in FY16 to include increased maintenance. The City has seen an
increase in the quantity of streets to maintain as well. This year we are increasing the assessment by 8% again to
be able to adjust to growth and the increased costs.
The Street Maintenance fund budget includes increased amounts of pavement maintenance, capital projects, and
the addition of Streets workers. This trend will continue with the Capital Improvement Plan and the three‐year
staffing plan showing increases for further growth.

Arterial & Collector Street District Fund is a relatively new fund and has seen a phase‐in approach with funding.
Many of the projects funded help in the Street Impact Fee program’s efforts. Due to the role Street Impact Fees
play in the expansion of our Arterial & Collector streets, the A&CD capital plan is tied to projects on the Street
Impact Fee CIP. Most projects receive funding from both sources. The District will be providing the “local share” of
some projects in advance of development. The city intends to create a payback district to recover the “local share”
once an adjacent project is developed. This payback will be deposited to the Arterial & Collector Fund. The passing
of the new gas tax reduced rates in FY19. We are recommending a 3% rate increase in FY21. This is needed for the
costs of projects and for the reduction in gas tax revenues we are predicted to receive.
The appropriations are mainly planned from the Capital Improvement Plan and the project listing can be found in
the Capital Expenditures Summary Section.
Gas Tax Fund accounts for revenues from State gasoline taxes apportioned fr om the State
of Montana Department of Transportation. These go towards street maintenance projects
and projects associated with the above arterial and collector fund. The total appropriation
for FY21 is $2.1 million. It is estimated that with the Impacts of COVID‐19 that we will see
about 50% less in Gas Tax revenue. With fund balance due to conservative estimate and
the rate increase described is the above Arterial & Collector fund we are able to keep all
projects planned in the Capital Improvement Plan.
Street Impact Fee Fund‐ Street Impact Fees go towards capacity expanding road improvements. The appropriations
are based on the Capital Improvement Plan and total $6.2 million. Both the Capital Improvement Plan and the
project listing can be found in the Capital Expenditures Summary Section.

Program Special Revenue Funds
Parks & Trails District Fund accounts for special assessment revenues levied, received, and expended for the Parks
& Trails district. This is a new fund with the voter approval on the District that came in May 2020 for the creation
of the District for FY21. The plan as approved by the Commission is a five‐year ramp up to Silver level of service.
This first year the District will take on the Parks currently maintained by the Home Owner Associations and all the
City Parks including the two recent large additions of the Sports Park and the Storymill Community Park. Normal
Parks capital is included in the budget and deferred maintenance will be added in future years as we continue the
ramp up of the District.
Tree Maintenance Fund a c c o u n t s f o r s p e c i a l a s s e s s m e n t r e v e n u e s l e v i e d , r e c e i v e d , a n d expended for tree
maintenance provided in the public right of way. In previous years, we raised the assessment by 15% to aid working
towards the Urban Forestry Management Plan. The desired reserve levels are being achieved and with basic
inflation of costs and staffing, we are recommending an inflationary increase of 2% that is the same increase as last
year fiscal year.
The Tree Maintenance fund budget includes operating and personnel expenditures and no capital items are
planned.

Community Development Planning Fund is a special revenue fund that accounts for revenues and expenditures
related to community planning and zoning operations. There are two major revenue sources for the fund, mills from
the general mill levy along with planning fees. During the end of FY20 and into FY21 Planning fees are being
reviewed. The total planned expenditures are $2.4 million.
Building Inspection Fund is supported entirely by the revenue from building fees and
permits. Revenues and expenditures are statutorily restricted to amounts that support
the building safety program. We are currently examining Building fees and will adjust
based on costs. This fund is dependent on construction in the City and therefore is
monitored based on economic conditions. In addition, it is reported in the quarterly report
to the Commission. Total planned expenditures are $3.2 million which includes new
software to aid in the efficiency and effectiveness of the Division.

The Community Housing Fund is where our affordable housing program is accounted for. Affor dable Housing is part
of our Strategic Plan and a priority for FY21. With the hiring of the Program Manager, the City is forming an updated
plan to be recommended by the Commission. The fund receives three mills of the general mill levy as well as cash‐
in‐lieu of affordable housing for projects.

Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are used to account for efforts that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private
business enterprises‐‐where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of
providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through
user charges. The following is a discussion of some of the major enterprise funds and ones with larger changes for
FY21, followed by all Enterprise Fund financials.
Water Fund‐ City property owners are, by and large, required to use the City’s Water treatment systems. The City
recently underwent a rate study that included water conservation rate examination, and drought rate and reserve
design. The Commission adopted rates for FY20 and FY21 in Resolution 5065. The rates were based on a rate study
adopted in August 2019. For FY21 the rates in all user classes increase with the exception of residential. Then rates
will change based on user class:
With these changes, appropriate users classes will be charged based on their cost of service and the City will be able
to achieve and maintain appropriate revenue levels and reserves. Overall, the fund has maintained a healthy reserve
and improved, as well as maintained, the City’s water system.

Wastewater Fund‐ City Property owners are, by and large, required to use the City’s Sewer treatment systems. The
Commission adopted rates for FY20 and FY21 in Resolution 5066. The rates were based on a rate study adopted in
August 2019. Rates vary by user class with all increases except residential:
With these changes, appropriate users classes will be charged based on their cost of service and the City will be able
to achieve and maintain appropriate revenue levels and reserves. Overall, the fund has maintained a healthy reserve
and improved as well as maintained the City’s sewer system. The fund balance needs growth as the infrastructure
is starting to age.

Stormwater Fund‐ The City’s Stormwater fund started in 2013 and had its current rate structure set in April 2015,
rates are based on impervious area, and existing infrastructure. The rate has not changed since the
2015 restructure. With inflation costs and growth, we are recommending a 4% rate increase. With
increasing the rate and with projected growth, the fund will be able to maintain a 45‐dayoperating
reserve and a depreciation reserves to be able to replace unexpected loss of equipment.
Solid Waste Fund ‐The City’s Solid Waste Fund accounts for the garbage and recycling service provided to citizens.
Revenues are comprised of solid waste and recycling fees. Expen ses are for personnel, operations and capital items.
Fund balance is sufficient for depreciation coverage and for an event, if we lose the use of a truck unexpectedly. A
rate study was adopted October 2019 and rates were adopted based on the study. Rates varied depending on user
class.

Performance Measures
The City of Bozeman relies on a variety of data to help inform decisions across the organization. Vision Statement
7 for a High Performance Organization in the City’s states the purpose of “utilizing key performance and cost
measures to monitor, track, and improve the planning and delivery of City programs and services, and promote
greater accountability, effectiveness and efficiency” (Strategy 7.4 – Performance Metrics). Three major focus areas
of Performance Measures are utilized to manage community and employee expectations about the City’s capacity
to deliver services.
Many systems are currently in place to collect and visualize a
w i d e r a n g e o f d a t a i n t e r n a l t o t h e o r g a n i z a t i o n .
Sophisticated tools such as Computerized Maintenance
Management Systems (CMMS) provide detailed cost
information, including time, materials, and equipment in an
effort to improve efficiencies throughout operations such as
Public Works.
Specific Performance Measures are updated annually to compliment the budget. These measures help
communicate trends and justify additional resources needed to m aintain an acceptable level of serivce. Most charts
include a “target” or “standard”, describing the overall goal or instustry norm, respectively.
Extensive effort is made each year to identify relevant metrics to support decisions throughout the City’s budget
process. At least three years of data is used to demonstrate trends in order to provide valuable context as it relates
to an overall increase or decrease over time. Current fiscal year “Approved” figures represent previously adopted
estimates, while future fiscal year “Recommended” figures represent estimates based on projected changes for the
upcoming budget cycle.
Estimates for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) were established prior to the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Changes in both FY20 & FY21 projections are likely to be experienced across all Divisions.
Measures that are at risk include a graphical footnote as a placeholder while a thorough effort
is made over the coming year to analyze any impact.
Budget metrics improve confidence in municipal management, ensuring that limited resources are focused on the
most pressing issues, including againg infrastructure and new growth.
Plans for additional qualitative measures will be
implemented in FY21 through a broad community survey.
Information collected through customer satisfaction and
citizen surveys will be used to provide valuable perspective
complimentary to the quantitative measures described
above.
Overall, Performance Measures are critical to maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of local government.
Timely and relevant metrics at all levels provide a framework for improved decision making, while resulting in a
better understanding of the value of services provided throughout the community.

CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES
SUMMARY
161
Capital Expenditure Summary
The CIP includes any planned expenditure of $25,000 or greater, that results in the acquisition of an asset with a
useful life of 3 years or more. There is a couple of “exception s” or “extensions” of this definition that we have found
helpful and necessary in past years:
General Planning Documents (master plans, community surveys, etc.) are NOT included in our CIP.
Specific plans that involve pre‐engineering or preliminary design of facilities are often (but not always)
included in the CIP.
Software purchases that could potentially be “software as a service”. Cloud based services are beginning
to replace our purchase of outright software and hardware. In the CIP, we have treated the software
projects as a capital outlay purchase; although a “service” type, solution may actually be chosen during the
bidding/proposal process.
State law and City charter require the City to prepare the CIP. State Law requires the City to maintain a Capital
Improvement Plan for our Development Impact Fee programs. Und er Montana Code Annotated (MCA), this Capital
Improvement Plan provides the schedules and cost projections required under MCA §7‐6‐1602(2)(k)(i‐iv). In Article
5.06 of the adopted City Charter, the City Manager is responsible for preparing and submitting a multi‐year capital
program to the City Commission no later than December 15 for the ensuing fiscal year.
This five‐year plan includes long‐range plans for our current facilities while keeping in mind level of service
standards. In a community with relatively high cost of living, the ability of citizens to afford the needed utility rate,
fee, and assessment levels is of concern. At the same time, the City strives to keep existing facilities properly
maintained — and not pass deferred maintenance costs and problems on to future generations. The staff have
taken a lot of time and care in preparing this document. The efforts toward our Strategic Plan when developing our
plan.
FY21 Capital impacts on operational costs:
The larger infrastructure projects have an impact on our operational costs, which can include increased cost
for maintenance, additional monitoring, and additional services such as more roads to plow with the street
construction scheduled. The major wastewater projects discussed earlier will add maintenance time and
monitoring. The streets that will be constructed will affect the Street Maintenance fund’s operational
budgets in FY21 with the additional snow plowing and into the future for repairs and maintenance.
Expanding the vehicle fleet increases maintenance and gas expenditures. This budget year there are some
vehicles and other mobile equipment replacements that will not have as big of impact as the new vehicles
expanding the number in the fleet.
We are not constructing any major building in this budget but there are some remodels but their
operational impact is minimal since there is not additional need for cleaning and utilities. This includes the
Professional building elevator replacement and Storymill Community Center.

Appendix B: Budget and Financial Policies
The overall goal of the City's financial policies is to establish and maintain effective management of the City's
financial resources. Formal policy statements and major objectives provide the foundation for achieving this goal.
Accordingly, this section outlines the policies used in guiding the preparation and management of the City's overall
budget and the major objectives to be accomplished. In addition, the rationale, which led to the establishment of
the fiscal policy statements, is also identified.
Budget Development & Administration
1. A comprehensive annual budget will be prepared for all funds expended by the City.
State law provides that "no money shall be drawn from the treasury of the municipality nor shall any obligation for
the expenditure of money be incurred except pursuant to the appropriation made by the commission." Inclusion
of all funds in the budget enables the commission, the administration, and the public to consider all financial aspects
of city government when preparing, modifying, and monitoring the budget, rather than deal with the City's finances
on a "piece meal" basis.
2. The budget will be prepared in such a manner as to facilitate its understanding by citizens and elected officials.
One of the stated purposes of the budget is to present a picture of the City government operations and intentions
for the year to the citizens of Bozeman. Presenting a budget document that is understandable to the citizens
furthers the goal of effectively communicating local government finance issues to both elected officials and the
public.
3. Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing those basic municipal services which provide the maximum level
of services, to the most citizens, in the most cost effective manner, with due consideration being given to all
costs‐‐economic, fiscal, and social.
Adherence to this basic philosophy provides the citizens of Bozeman assurance that its government and elected
officials are responsive to the basic needs of the citizens and that its government is operated in an economical and
efficient manner.
4. The budget will provide for adequate maintenance of capital, plant, and equipment and for their orderly
replacement.
All governments experience prosperous times as well as periods of economic decline. In periods of economic
decline, proper maintenance and replacement of capital, plant, and equipment is generally postponed or eliminated
as a first means of balancing the budget. Recognition of the need for adequate maintenance and replacement of
capital, plant, and equipment, regardless of the economic conditions, will assist in maintaining the government's
equipment and infrastructure in good operating condition.
5. The City will avoid budgetary practices that balance current expenditures at the expense of meeting future
years' expenses.
Budgetary practices such as postponing capital expenditures, accruing future years' revenues, or rolling over short‐
term debt are budgetary practices which can solve short‐term financial problems; however, they can create much
larger financial problems for future administrations and commissions. Avoidance of these budgetary practices will
assure citizens that current problems are not simply being delayed to a future year.
173
6. The City will give highest priority in the use of one‐time revenues to the funding of capital assets or other
non‐recurring expenditures.
Utilizing one‐time revenues to fund on‐going expenditures results in incurring annual expenditure obligations which
may be unfunded in future years. Using one‐time revenues to fund capital assets or other non‐recurring
expenditures better enables future administrations and commissions to cope with the financial problems when
these revenue sources are discontinued, since these types of expenditures can more easily be eliminated.
7. The City will maintain a budgetary control system to help it adhere to the established budget.
The budget passed by the Commission establishes the legal spending limits for the City. A budgetary control system
is essential in order to insure legal compliance with the City's budget.
8. The City will exercise budgetary control (maximum spending authority) through City Commission approval of
appropriation authority for each appropriated budget unit.
Exercising budgetary control for each appropriated budget unit satisfies requirements of State law. It also assists
the commission in monitoring current year operations and acts as an early warning mechanism when departments
deviate in any substantive way from the original budget.
9. Reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts will be prepared monthly.
The City's budget is ineffective without a system to regularly monitor actual spending and revenue collections with
those anticipated at the beginning of the year. Monthly reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to
budget amounts provide the mechanism for the Commission and the administration to regularly monitor
compliance with the adopted budget.
Revenue Collection
1. The City will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base.
A city dependent upon a few volatile revenue sources is frequently forced to suddenly adjust tax rates or alter
expenditure levels to coincide with revenue collections. Establishment of a diversified and stable revenue base,
however, serves to protect the City from short‐term fluctuations in any one major revenue source.
2. The City will estimate revenues in a realistic and conservative manner.
Aggressive revenue estimates significantly increase the chances of budgetary shortfalls occurring during the year‐‐
resulting in either deficit spending or required spending reductions. Realistic and conservative revenue estimates,
on the other hand, will serve to minimize the adverse impact of revenue shortfalls and will also reduce the need for
mid‐year spending reductions.
3. The City will pursue an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
An aggressive policy of collecting revenues will help to ensure the City's revenue estimates are met, all taxpayers
are treated fairly and consistently, and delinquencies are kept to a minimum.
4. The City will aggressively pursue opportunities for Federal or State grant funding.
An aggressive policy of pursuing opportunities for federal or state grant funding provides citizens assurance that
the City is striving to obtain all state and federal funds to which it is entitled, thereby reducing dependence on local
taxpayers for the support of local public services.
5. User fees and charges will be used, as opposed to general taxes, when distinct beneficiary populations or
interest groups can be identified.
174
User fees and charges are preferable to general taxes because user charges can provide clear demand signals which
assist in determining what services to offer, their quantity, and their quality. User charges are also more equitable,
since only those who use the service must pay‐‐thereby eliminating the subsidy provided by nonusers to users,
which is inherent in general tax financing.
6. User fees will be collected only if it is cost‐effective and administratively feasible to do so.
User fees are often times costly to administer. Prior to establishing user fees, the costs to establish and administer
the fees will be considered in order to provide assurance that the city's collection mechanisms are being operated
in an efficient manner.
Expenditures and Payments
1. On‐going expenditures will be limited to levels which can be supported by current revenues.
Utilization of reserves to fund on‐going expenditures will produce a balanced budget; however, this practice will
eventually cause severe financial problems. Once reserve levels are depleted, the City would face elimination of
on‐going costs in order to balance the budget. Therefore, the funding of on‐going expenditures will be limited to
current revenues.
2. Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects, which primarily benefit current residents, will be financed
from current revenues.
Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects represent relatively small costs of an on‐going nature, and
therefore, should be financed with current revenues rather than utilizing debt financing. This policy also reflects
the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for the project.
3. Major capital projects, which benefit future as well as current residents, will be financed with current
revenues as well as other financing sources (e.g. debt financing).
This policy reflects the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for the project.
4. Major capital projects, which benefit future residents, will be financed with other financing sources (e.g. debt
financing).
Major capital projects represent large expenditures of a non‐recurring nature which primarily benefit future
residents. Debt financing provides a means of generating sufficient funds to pay for the costs of major projects.
Debt financing also enables the costs of the project to be supported by those who benefit from the project, since
debt service payments will be funded through charges to future residents.
5. Construction projects and capital purchases of $10,000 or more will be included in the Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP); minor capital outlays of less than $10,000 will be included in the regular operating budget.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) differentiates the financing of high cost long‐lived physical improvements from
low cost "consumable" equipment items contained in the operating budget. CIP items may be funded through debt
financing or current revenues while operating budget items are annual or routine in nature and should only be
financed from current revenues.
6. Spending Policy:
The City will spend its resources in the following order. Resources will be categorized according to Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for state and local governments, with the following general definitions:
175
Restricted ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as grantors, bondholders, and
higher levels of government) through constitutional provisions or by enabling legislation.
Committed ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the Cit y C o m m i s s i o n ; t o b e r e p o r t e d a s
committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Commission takes action to
remove or change the constraint.
Assigned ‐‐ Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can be expressed by the Commission
or by an official or body to which the Commission delegates the authority. The City Commission delegates
this authority to the City Manager.
Unassigned ‐‐ Amounts that are available for any purpose; these amounts are reported only in the General
Fund.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, spending will occur in the following order, for the
identified fund types:
Fund Type Order of Spending
General Fund 1. Restricted
2. Committed
3. Assigned
4. Unassigned
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in the General Fund.

Debt Administration
1. The City will limit long‐term debt to capital improvements, which cannot be financed from current revenues.
Incurring long‐term debt serves to obligate future taxpayers. Excess reliance on long‐term debt can cause debt
levels to reach or exceed the government's ability to pay. Therefore, conscientious use of long‐term debt will
provide assurance that future residents will be able service the debt obligations left by former residents.
176
2. The City will repay borrowed funds, used for capital projects, within a period not to exceed the expected useful
life of the project.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a project should pay for the project. Adherence
to this policy will also help prevent the government from over‐extending itself with regard to the incurrence of
future debt.
3. The City will not use long‐term debt for financing current operations.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a service should pay for the service. Utilization of
long‐term debt to support current operations would result in future residents supporting services provided to current
residents.
4. The City of Bozeman will adhere to a policy of full public disclosure with regard to the issuance of debt.
Full public disclosure with regard to the issuance of debt provides assurance that the incurrence of debt, for which
the public is responsible, is based upon a genuine need and is consistent with underwriters’ guidelines.
Reserves and Fund Balances
1. Reserves and Fund Balances will be properly designated into the following categories:
Nonspendable fund balance ‐‐ Amounts that are not in a spendable form (such as inventory) or are
required to be maintained intact (such as the corpus of an endowment fund).
Restricted fund balance ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as
grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government) through constitutional provisions or by
enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City Commission; to be
reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Commission
takes action to remove or change the constraint.
Assigned fund balance ‐‐ Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can be expressed
by the Commission or by an official or body to which the Commission delegates the authority.
Unassigned fund balance ‐‐ Amounts that are available for any purpose; these amounts are reported
only in the General Fund.
2. A minimum level of General Fund reserve equal to 16.67% of annual revenues will be maintained by the City.
This reserve is committed to be used for: cash flow purposes, accrued employee payroll benefits which are not
shown as a liability, unanticipated equipment acquisition and replacement, and to enable the city to meet
unexpected expenditure demands or revenue shortfalls. (See Appendix D for recommendation)
Property taxes represent the City's primary source of general fund revenue. Property taxes are collected in
November and May of each fiscal year. Since the City's fiscal year begins on July 1st, the City must maintain an
adequate cash balance in order to meet its expenditure obligations between July 1st and the commencement of
the collection of property taxes in November.
Accrued employee payroll benefits represent a bona fide obligation of the City. The City will maintain sufficient
reserves to meet its annual expenditure obligations.
The City recognizes the need to maintain adequate equipment in order to carry out required public services.
Equipment acquisition and replacement represent on‐going costs of a relatively minor nature, as compared to major
capital purchases. We plan for equipment replacement within our Capital Improvement Program. However,
177
unforeseen equipment problems will arise. The reserve will provide resources for the immediate, unanticipated
replacement of critical equipment.
The City is subject to revenue shortfalls and unexpected expenditure demands during the fiscal year. An
undesignated General Fund reserve will be maintained to be able to offset these revenue shortfalls or meet
unexpected demands occurring during the year, without suddenly adjusting tax rates or reducing expenditures.
Financial Reporting & Accounting
1. The City will manage and account for its financial activity in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
GASB is recognized as the authority with respect to governmental accounting. Managing the City's finances in
accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the rules set forth by GASB provides Bozeman citizens assurance
that their public funds are being accounted for in a proper manner.
2. The City will maintain its accounting records for general governmental operations on a modified accrual basis,
with revenues recorded when available and measurable, and expenditures recorded when services or goods are
received and liabilities incurred. Accounting records for proprietary fund types and similar trust funds will be
maintained on an accrual basis, with all revenues recorded when earned and expenses recorded at the time
liabilities are incurred, without regard to receipt or payment of cash.
Adherence to this policy will enable the City to prepare its fi nancial statements in accordance with GAAP as set forth
by the GASB.
3. The City of Bozeman will prepare a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) in conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The report will be made available to the general public. The
CAFR shall be prepared in accordance with the standards establis h e d b y t h e G F O A f o r t h e C e r t i f i c a t e o f
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program
The Certificate of Achievement represents a significant accomplishment for a government and its financial
management. The program encourages governments to prepare and publish an easily readable and understandable
comprehensive annual financial report covering all funds and financial transactions of the government during the
year. The CAFR provides users with a wide variety of information useful in evaluating the financial condition of a
government. The program also encourages continued improvement in the City's financial reporting practices.
4. The City will ensure the conduct of timely, effective, and annual audit coverage of all financial records in
compliance the local, state, and federal law.
Audits of the City's financial records provide the public assurance that its funds are being expended in accordance
with Local, State, and Federal law and in accordance with GAAP. Audits also provide management and the
Commission with suggestions for imp r o v e m e n t i n i t s f i n a n c i a l o perations from independent experts in the
accounting field.
5. The City of Bozeman will maintain a policy of full and open public disclosure of all financial activity.
Full and open public disclosure of all financial activity provides the public with assurance that its elected officials
and administrators communicate fully all financial matters affecting the public.
6. The modified accrual basis of accounting and budgeting is used for the governmental funds. Under the
modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable
178
and available. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay
liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related liability is incurred. Employee
compensated absences and principal and interest on long‐term debt expenditures are recorded when due in the
current period. The accrual basis of accounting is used for proprietary funds. Under this method, revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when the related liability is incurred. For budget preparation
and presentation, the proprietary funds’ expenses are converted to expenditures and follow the same budget
format as the government fund types. Capital outlays in the enterprise funds are presented as expenses for
budget basis, but are recorded as assets along with associated depreciation expense on the GAAP basis. Debt
service principal payments in the enterprise funds are accounted for as expenses for budget purposes, but are
reported as reduction of long‐term debt liability on the GAAP basis.
Recording capital outlays as expenditures and principal payments on long‐term debt for budget purposes, presents
a clearer picture of the City’s financial operations, is easier to administer for cash flow purposes, and is easier for
the lay person to understand.

Appendix D- General Fund Balance
Minimum Analysis
Background
Fund balance is a critical for financial stability and flexibility. Reserves aid in governments being able to respond to
events, buffer against economic down turns and are a factor for bond ratings. The City of Bozeman adopted its
current General fund reserve policy April 26, 2010 via ordinance.1 The minimum fund reserve is “16 2/3 percent of
estimated general fund revenues” and was adopted based on the GFOA’s best practice recommendation at the
time. GFOA has since revised its best practices and recommend a policy be developed articulating “a framework
and process for how the government would increase or decrease the level of unrestricted fund balance over a
specific time period. In particular, governments should provide broad guidance in the policy for how resources
will be directed to replenish fund balance should the balance fall below the level prescribed.”2
Appropriate Level ‐ The amount of reserve needed is unique to every local government since all deal
with different revenue streams, live in areas with higher risk of natural disaster, and have different aged
infrastructure. At a minimum, the GFOA recommends, “at a minimum, that general‐purpose
governments, regardless of size, maintain unrestricted budgetary fund balance in their general fund of no
less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues or regular general fund operating
expenditures.” Then based on a review of the governments risk factors determine what is beyond the
minimum.
Use and Replenishment‐ The reserve policy should include the conditions and/or circumstances where
the funds can be used and if the balance goes below the desired level, there should be a plan to relish the
reserve
For the FY20 budget we reviewed GFOA’s best practice, and its referenced material, as well as GFOA case studies
and examples of polices from other cities. We have performed analysis to determine factors for the appropriate
level. When looking at our reserve we followed GFOA’s methodology used in their study done on the City of
Colorado Springs.3 Based on the research and analysis we recommended in Appendix D of the FY20 budget the
expansion of the General fund reserve policy.
The City Manager Recommended FY21 Budget, for the General Fund to meet our risk based analysis of 17% of
expenditures and to slightly surpass it.
The Commission decided due to the current economic impacts of COVID‐19 to remain using the current fund
balance policy.

Analysis
Using GFOA’s best practice and their own analysis, we examined the City’s risk factors in regards to the General
fund. We reviewed revenue volatility, infrastructure upkeep, Vulnerability to Extreme Events and Public Safety
Concerns, Expenditure Volatility, and Growth of the Community. With COVID‐19 and its impacts have emphasized
the importance of fund balances for our City.
Risk Factors
Revenue Volatility
The more volatile a government’s revenue sources the higher a risk for fast changes and the need to respond to
down turns. This type of risk requires higher reserve to be in place to be able to respond to revenue drops instead
of suddenly reducing service levels. The City’s General fund revenues are mainly from four sources: property
taxes, charges for services, intergovernmental revenues and other financing sources. Other financing sources are
typically for debt issuance so it does not need to be included in the analysis.
Property taxes‐ Property taxes make up about 50‐52% of the General fund’s revenues. Traditionally property taxes
are not as volatile as others taxes are, such as sales tax. Based on the linear increase in actuals this revenue is
currently not showing signs of volatility.

Intergovernmental Revenues ‐ The largest part of this revenue stream is the State entitlement share, which
increases based on the average change of the last 3 years of CPI. There have been talks at the legislature to
reduce these funds and the economy could have an impact. Grants would be included in this revenue item and
that could increase this revenue, as the City grows larger and qualifies for more funding. Based on the linear
increase in actuals this revenue is currently not showing signs of volatility.
Charges for Services ‐ Charges for services has shown volatility. We have seen volatility with COVID‐19 and will see
some impacts at the start of FY21. In order to be able to weather declines in this revenue reserves are critical.
The City has increased fees recently to align better with cost of services, specifically in Parks and Recreations.
With it being only 9% of revenues and the recent efforts these just require monitoring and cost recovery analysis
but no reserve fund changes are needed to cover possible down turns beyond the current minimum.

Infrastructure Upkeep
Worn infrastructure holds a potential risk of failure and General fund reserves maybe needed to repair and
replace unexpected failures of assets. The City’s infrastructure is vast and is planned for in many different fund
reserves, for example, water and wastewater reserves are part of the rate study and the model to plan for
replacement and maintenance. The General fund infrastructure is the facilities accounted for in the General fund
including administrative buildings and parks and recreation facilities. This winter Bozeman saw record heavy
snowfall and had a partial collapse at Bogart Park. The Pavilion is about $3.4 million to replace. MSU saw a bigger
catastrophe due to the snowfall and older buildings. The City is having our other structure examined but there
should be some funding set aside in the reserve for the infrastructure and next year with the further study and
expansion of our asset management program we can better quantify this risk going forward. This area is a risk and
is also a reason to have more than minimum to easily utilized funds in emergency infrastructure events.
Vulnerability to Extreme Events and Public Safety Concerns
Extreme events require public safety programs that must continue to be funded while waiting for any state and
federal aid. “For example, reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) does not
always occur right away, so it is important to have reserves to absorb the cost in the meantime, and FEMA does
not necessarily reimburse 100 percent of the cost of responding to an event.”4 The City has taken measures to
prepare for events with the Climate Action Plan and the joint project with MSU for Continuity of operations
planning. COVID‐19 has shown a cost to the City and so could future resurgence or other pandemics. Montana is
prone wildfires, heavy snowfall and flooding. As we developed these plans, we can further examine the need for
a reserve beyond our minimum.
Expenditure Volatility
Unexpected expenditures or non‐reoccurring expenditures are often funded by reserves, unlike re‐occurring that
should be funded by reoccurring revenues and not reserves. Reoccurring should be part of the operating budget
and the risk of non‐reoccurring can be planned for in the reserve. We have limited our funding for capital
expenditures and in the future either reserve should be built up for capital items or debt financing might have to
increase.

The City has relied upon the prior year spending not to happen and use carryforward of 4% to balance operating
expenditures. The trend has been decreasing but one‐time monies have off set it, which will not always be the
case. The budget can only rely on 2.5% carryforward but at this time the need for more reserve is not needed,
however the reserve calculation should be based on expenditures rather than revenues due to this trend
(highlighted with stars below).
The exception should be made for non‐cash items that are required to be shown in the budget because they are
shown as revenue coming and expenditures going out. The city has one of these for the State retirement
contribution for Police and fire that is around $2.4 million. This item should be excluded from the minimum since
in essence, it is a wash and there is no actual cash coming or going from the City.
Growth of the Community
“Rapid growth of the community could call for larger levels of reserves, lest service requirements expand beyond
the City’s ability to continue services in the face of revenue interruption. For instance, property tax revenues may
not be received until a couple of years after development occurs, yet the government will still need to provide for
the public safety, health, and welfare of these members of the community in the meantime.”5 The City has seen
an average of 4% growth over the last 4 years. The General fund faces level of service constraints as the City
grows. Infrastructure is paid for through other means such as impact fees. Level service are operating expenses
and reoccurring so this will not impact the need for addition minimum reserve amounts but rather impact
operating budget decisions in regards to the General Fund.

Recommendations
Implement FY21 risk based recommendation of 17% of the fund’s expenditures and revise the City Ordinance. The
ordinance should allow for annual analysis of the needed reserve, its use and replenishment if used.
Appropriate Level
At a minimum, that general‐purpose fund will maintain unrestricted budgetary fund balance in their
general fund of no less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues. In addition, any
amount greater based on the analysis of the following risk factors:
Revenue Volatility
Infrastructure Upkeep
Vulnerability to Extreme Events and Public Safety Concerns
Expenditure Volatility
Growth of the Community
Fund balance will meet this minimum determined unless it has been used as described below.
Use and Replenishment
Available fund balances shall not be used for ongoing operating expenditures, unless a determination has
been made that available balances are in excess of required guidelines and that plans have been
established to address any future operating budget shortfalls. Emphasis shall be placed on one‐time uses
that achieve future operating cost reductions.
Uses that would cause going below the minimum should be limited to:
Unanticipated expenditures of a non‐reoccurring nature
Meet unexpected increases in service delivery costs
Replenishment plan should be established when dropping below the minimum and should be replenished
at a maximum of three years.
