COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 3710
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN. MONTANA.
ORDERING A PUBLIC HEARING BE HELD ON A PROPOSED FIVE PERCENT (5.0%)
INCREASE IN THE WATER RATE CHARGED TO CUSTOMERS OF THE MUNICIPAL

RATE, IMPLEMENTINGAN INCENTIVE FOR USE OFTHEACH PAYMENT OPTION, AND
IMPLEMENTING A LATE FEE CHARGE.
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a memo from Director of Public Service Arkell,
forwarding background information on the proposed increase. Distributed just prior to the meeting was an
e-mail message from Helen Bode, 217 Lillian Way, voicing opposition to the proposed increase.
Public hearing
Mayor Cetraro opened the public hearing.
Director of Public Service Arkell reviewed this proposed rate hike, noting a $1 per month discount will
be given to customers using the automatic clearing house to pay their bill. Also proposed is a penalty, with
a $1 minimum, of 1.5 percent per month for late payments.
There was no one present to speak in opposition to this rate increase.
Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Cetraro closed the public hearing.
Decision
It was moved by Commissioner Kirchhoff, seconded by Commissioner Hietala, that staff be directed
to bring back a resolution establishing the revised rates for water service, effective November 1, 2004. The
motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Kirchhoff,
Commissioner Hietala, Commissioner Youngman, and Mayor Cetraro; those voting No, none.
Proposed 20-percent decrease in wastewater rates. effective on November 1. 2004. billina
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the proposed 20-percent decrease in
wastewater rates, as set by Commission Resolution No. 3711, entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 3711
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
ORDERING A PUBLIC HEARING BE HELD ON A PROPOSED TWENTY PERCENT
(20.0%) REDUCTION IN THE WASTEWATER (SEWER) TOTAL RATE CHARGED TO
CUSTOMERS OF THE MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER (SEWER) SYSTEM.
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a memo from Director of Public Service Arkell,
forwarding background information on the proposed decrease. Distributed just prior to the meeting was an
e-mail message from Helen Bode, 217 Lillian Way, questioning why the entire 45-percent surcharge is not
being removed.
Public hearing
Mayor Cetraro opened the public hearing.
Director of Public Service Arkell reviewed the proposed reduction in sewer rates, noting that in 1996
a 45 percent surcharge was implemented to cover the costs of the solvent site remediation. In 2001 the
surcharge was amended to raise money for the required match for a $5 million EPA grant. Now the
matching funds have been attained and the solvent site costs have been reduced, so this reduction in
wastewater rates is now possible.
Joe Gutkoski, 304 North 18th Avenue and member of Montana River Action, stated that while it is
nice to return money to ratepayers, the wastewater treatment plant needs improvement to remove
phosphorus and other nutrients from the waste before it flows into the East Gallatin River. Nutrients and
phosphorus create algae, which dissolve the oxygen in the river; and the East Gallatin River does have high
algae growth. Mr. Gutkoski suggested stormwater runoff also needs to be treated before it ultimately finds
its way into the East Gallatin River because it is polluting the river.

Director of Public Service Arkell responded that staff struggles with the nutrient loads and are very
aware of the concerns surrounding it. The facility plan will address these issues and help them to be
resolved. Staff is currently undergoing the permitting process to comply with Phase 2 stormwater
guidelines. It is anticipated that some kind of assessment will need to be created to pay for that.
Commissioner Youngman requested that any further information on phosphorus and nutrient loads
be shared with the Commission.
Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Cetraro closed the public hearing.
Decision
It was moved by Commissioner Hietala, seconded by Commissioner Youngman, that staff be
directed to bring back a resolution establishing the revised rates for wastewater services, effective
November 1, 2004. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being
Commissioner Hietala, CommissionerYoungman, Commissioner Kirchhoff, and Mayor Cetraro; those voting
No, none.

Preliminary Dlat for minor subdivision - subdivide 15.46 acres into two lots for business Dark
develoDment 12311 South 7th Avenue) - Morrison-Maierle for CFT. Limited IP-04039)
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on the preliminary plat requested by Morrison-
Maierle for CFT, Limited, under Application No. P-04039, to subdivide 15.46 acres described as Tract 1 B,
Certificate of Survey No. 1393-A, into two lots for business park development. The subject property is
located at 2311 South 7th Avenue.
Public hearing
Mayor Cetraro opened the public hearing.
Associate Planner Saunders presented the staff report, noting staff has reviewed this application
in light of the established criteria and recommends conditional approval. Staff's comprehensive findings
can be found in the written staff report. Two letters have been received by Planning staff regarding the
location of the east/west street.
Responding to Commissioner Hietala, the Associate Planner stated that the street must meet state
requirements, as well as City standards, regarding the placement of utilities and streets in relation to the
undeveloped land to the south. Locating the street on the northern boundary would require changing the
routing of the water and sewer lines, interfere with the University's storage pond, affect existing vegetation,
and would require the ditch to be piped. Staff, therefore, supports placement of the street on the southern
boundary of the subdivision.
James Nickelson offered that the applicants again concur with staff's recommendations. Even
though the Planning Board failed to recommend approval of this application, a majority of the Planning
Board members supported approval.
Dick Clotfelter, applicant, stated the applicants have tried to work with the property owners to the
south to resolve the placement of University Way, but they have received no response.
Responding to Commissioner concerns, Mr. Clotfelter stated that when the property changed hands
four years ago, the new owners forgot to check on the temporary access, which expired four years ago. The
University has again granted temporary usage of South 7th Avenue, which is not a dedicated street, until
South 11th Avenue is extended and developed to one half of a collector standard by the applicants.

No one was present to speak in opposition to the preliminary plat application.
Since there were no objections, Mayor Cetraro closed the public hearing.
Mayor Cetraro stated he cannot support this application as presented; he desires to have the two
parties involved reach an agreement, saying he believes a planned unit development might be more
beneficial to both parties.
Commissioner Kirchhoff pointed out the applicant is complying with all staff recommendations; and
he feels this is an equitable solution for both parties, who will benefit equally from the extension of South
11 th Avenue.
Commissioner Youngman added the only reason the Allison Subdivision will be able to develop is
with this extension of water and sewer lines in South 11 th Avenue. This proposal is recommended by staff
and is the only way to resolve the infrastructure issues.
Decision
It was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner Kirchhoff, that the
preliminary plat requested by Morrison-Maierle for CFT, limited, under Application No. P-04039, to
subdivide 15.46 acres described as Tract 1 B, Certificate of Survey No. 1393-A, into two lots for business

the easement along the southern edge of Lot 2 and connect the
Gallagator Trail to public right-of-way to the west.
iiLThe trail and any sidewalks making up the transportation pathway
shall be aligned so that their point of connection provides a safe and
functional transition of surfaces and safely crosses any motor
vehicle area.
iV.The trail shall be configured so that the trail is adjacent to any
water valves or sewer manholes within the easement to facilitate
dual use of the trail by the City of Bozeman for water and sewer line
