Commission Resolution No. 3646 - adoptina bv reference the supplemental non-reaulatorv materials
(illustrations) in conjunction with the unified development ordinance
Commissioner Hietala requested this item be removed from the Consent Items for discussion
because of concerns regarding the watercourse setbacks, flood plains, and ridgeline protection zone
illustrations. He stated his belief the inclusion of these illustrations is premature and should be excluded
from the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) at this time. It is his understanding there is a lack of written
regulatory material for these illustrations to pertain to.
Associate Planner Saunders responded these illustrations are supplemental to items that cannot
be expressed in words alone and are intended to enable others to clearly understand the standards that are
being required. Planning staff is hoping to supplement these illustrations to keep them up to date so they
communicate effectively the ordinance the Commission has approved, which is more efficient than going
through the code approval process every time. These graphics are supplementary materials only and have
no binding authority; they simply explain what the text already states. All these items were adopted as part
of the UDO, which took effect on January 1, 2004. These illustrations have simply been taken out of the
text and bundled with other illustrations for simplification.
Responding to City Manager Johnson, Associate Planner Saunders stated all definitions have been
aggregated into chapter 80. The term "ridgeline" has been defined as something that can be mapped based
on the applicable criteria, and the area to be protected is the area parallel to the ridgeline. The setback is
measured from the area parallel to the ridgeline. The illustration depicts the setback as three times the
building height. The setback distance is somewhat floating depending on the size of the building proposed.
There is not a complete prohibition of use in the way the watercourse setback is outlined.
Commissioner Youngman suggested it might be beneficial to sit down with ridgeline property owners
to determine if they understand what is depicted in these illustrations. After those discussions, perhaps
further refinements could be made, if needed, to ensure comprehension by all landowners.
Commissioner Hietala stated his primary concern was to allow flexibility for ridgeline development,
and he believes that has been addressed.
It was moved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Cetraro, that Commission
Resolution No. 3646, adopting by reference the supplemental non-regulatory materials (illustrations) in
conjunction with the unified development ordinance, be adopted. The motion carried by the following Aye and
No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Hietala, and
Mayor Kirchhoff; those voting No, Commissioner Cetraro.
Public comment
Nick LaFavre, KTVM television station, expressed his appreciation to City Manager Johnson and
Commissioner Brown for their service to the community and their graciousness to the press.
Authorize Mavor to sian - letter of support to Montana Department of Commerce for desianation of
the Gallatin Development Corporation as part of the Certified Reaional Development Corporation
proaram - Cynthia Evans. Actina Director of GDC
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a letter from Cynthia Evans, Acting Director of the
Gallatin Development Corporation, dated December 1, attached to which was a proposed letter of support
for designation of the Gallatin Development Corporation as part of the Certified Regional Development
Corporation program.
Ms. Evans reviewed this request, noting the Gallatin Development Corporation is not reorganizing;
they are simply proposing to enter into a cooperative arrangement with North Rocky Mountain Resource
Conservation and Development and the Alliance Development Corporation. House Bill 76 has created up
to twelve economic development regions, and organizations have been invited to apply to be Certified
Regional Development Corporations in each region. This Certified Regional Development Corporation will
be serving Park and Gallatin counties. This will not change the Gallatin Development Corporation's purpose
or mission. They are requesting a letter of support from the Mayor for this undertaking.

Responding to City Manager Johnson, Ms. Evans said the City's economic development loans will
not change; this regional development corporation will not change the jurisdiction of funds.
It was moved by Commissioner Cetraro, seconded by Commissioner Youngman, that the Mayor be
authorized and directed to sign the letter of support. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote:
those voting Aye being Commissioner Cetraro, Commissioner Youngman, Commissioner Hietala,
Commissioner Brown, and Mayor Kirchhoff; those voting No, none.
Ordinance No. 1607 - settina City Commissioners' salaries for Fiscal Year 2004
Previously distributed in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of Ordinance No. 1607, entitled:
ORDINANCE NO. 1607
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
FIXING THE SALARIES OF THE CITY COMMISSIONERS AND MAYOR OF THE CITY OF
BOZEMAN, MONTANA, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.04.070 OF THE BOZEMAN
MUNICIPAL CODE.
Distributed just prior to the meeting was a letter from Tom Stonecipher, dated January 2, 2004,
expressing support for the ordinance.
Pamela Pride, 603 South 15 Avenue, voiced her support for this increase. She stated it is very
important the position of City Commissioner be kept a viable opportunity for working-class people who need
to be reimbursed for their efforts.
Bill Renard, 2513 Valhalla Court, said he believes the current remuneration for Commissioners is
insignificant, and people can't consider that amount of money a salary because people can't make a living
doing this job. Commissioners are not fairly compensated for the work they do. Unfortunately, the amount
being requested isn't going to attract more election candidates, which is unfortunate. Mr. Renard said he
would like to see Commissioner jobs become full-time positions.
Commissioner Brown stated he believes it is legitimate to raise the salaries of Commissioners; but
it is difficult for him to vote in favor of giving himself a big terminal payout, so he will have to vote against
this ordinance at this time. Had this been brought forward in June or July, he would have supported it.
Commissioner Youngman pointed out Commissioner Brown has served on a number of special
boards, in addition to his regular responsibilities, and he should be compensated for that dedication. It is
unfortunate the atmosphere of politics in this community would make someone uncomfortable supporting
such a minor increase. Commissioner Youngman stated, for her, this is a statement of principle. She has
calculated the hours she has spent on Commission business, and she has donated roughly $300,000 of her
professional salary to serve the city. Commissioner Youngman stated her agreement that it is difficult for
people to serve on the Commission because it requires the expenditure of one's retirement savings to do
the job properly, which does limit the field of candidates.
Commissioner Hietala acknowledged that the City Commissioners probably compare favorably with
County Commissioners in the amount of time spent in this capacity; however, he does not support adoption
of this ordinance at this time. He concluded by indicating that he would be in favor of revisiting this issue
again in six months.
It was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner Hietala, that Ordinance No.
1607, setting the salaries of the Commissioners and Mayor, be finally adopted. The motion failed by the
following No and Aye vote: those voting No being Commissioner Hietala, Commissioner Brown, and
Commissioner Cetraro; those voting Aye being Commissioner Youngman and Mayor Kirchhoff.

Commission Resolution No. 3647 - adoptina bv reference the Bozeman Creek Corridor sub-area
master plan
Included in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of Commission Resolution No.3 647, as
approved by the City Attorney, entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 3647
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE BOZEMAN CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN.
Distributed just prior to the meeting was an e-mail message from Clara Pincus, 2010 Spring Creek
Drive, asking that steps be taken to protect the Bozeman Creek corridor between Kagy Boulevard and
Goldenstein Lane as well as the corridor north of Kagy Boulevard.
Assistant Planner Kozub stated she was present and available to answer any questions the
Commissioners may have.
Commissioner Cetraro asked if any legal actions had been initiated since this plan has come
forward. City Attorney Luwe responded he is not aware of any lawsuits at this time.
Frank Munshower, 1407 South Bozeman Avenue, reiterated support of the Bozeman Creek
Neighborhood Association for passage of this plan.
Commissioner Hietala stated it is difficult for him to vote for passage of this plan because he feels
the property owners haven't had adequate input on it. He said he believes if the Commission adopts this
plan the City will be creating a "takings" issue. Commissioner Youngman reminded him that at the last
meeting the Commission added a statement that protects the property owners' rights. Commissioner
Hietala indicated that, in his mind, rezoning property and then providing a means of compensation to those
property owners based on that rezoning, seems to be a "takings".
Commissioner Brown noted he has been very involved in this matter as both a member of the
Planning Board and as a Commissioner. If neighbors were not involved in the formation of this plan, it was
by their choice; they had ample opportunity for input. He characterized this area as a very challenging one,
noting there are infrastructure issues, wetlands, and both city and county-zoned lands to be dealt with.
Commissioner Brown stated he would like to see this plan finalized, adding there has been an incredible
amount of time spent on this plan by staff and they have done a very credible job.
It was moved by Commissioner Hietala, seconded by Commissioner Brown, that Commission
Resolution No. 3647, adopting by reference the Bozeman Creek Corridor sub-area master plan, be adopted.
The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Hietala,
Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Cetraro, Commissioner Youngman, and Mayor Kirchhoff; those voting
No, none.

property owner the residence will only be 24 to 44 feet.
Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Kirchhoff closed the public hearing.
It was moved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Cetraro, that the preliminary plat

This was the time and place set in the Montana Code Annotated for the reorganization of the City
Commission as per the results of the General Municipal Election held on Tuesday, November 4, 2003. The
Oaths of Office of Steven R. Kirchhoff and Jeffrey K. Krauss, newly-elected City Commissioners, for four-
year terms commencing January 5, 2004, have been approved and said Oaths of Office are on file in the
office of the Clerk of the City Commission. Also, the Oaths of Office for Lee Hietala and Marcia Youngman,
Continuing Commissioners, and Andrew L. Cetraro, Continuing Commissioner and Incoming Mayor, are
on file in the office of the Clerk of the City Commission.
Retiring Commissioner Brown offered his final comments, saying he considers it a privilege to be
allowed to serve the community for four years. H e then thanked staff, who he characterized a s very
competent and hard working. Finally, he thanked Commissioners, past and present, who all contributed to
making his job easier.
Retiring Mayor Kirchhoff presented outgoing Commissioner Brown with a plague recognizing his
service to the City of Bozeman. The outgoing Mayor then offered his final remarks by thanking his wife and
family for their patience, and the Commissioners for their professionalism and achievements. He, too,
thanked City staff, who he characterized as doing a good job for the citizens of Bozeman and are not
generally acknowledged for their efforts. The retiring Mayor then thanked City Manager Johnson for his
service and guidance to the Mayor and Commissioners.
Clerk of the Commission Sullivan administered the Oaths of Office to incoming Commissioners
Steve Kirchhoff and Jeff Krauss and they were seated.
Incoming Commissioner Krauss thanked his friends and family for their support, saying he is
honored to have the opportunity to serve the public. He stated he believes the Commission has two early
challenges and one opportunity. The challenges include the necessity of the Commission to form
relationships, being respectful to one another, while discussing issues only and not allowing personalities
to enter in, and the second challenge will be to hire a replacement for resigning City Manager Johnson,
which will be made easier because of the capabilities of City staff. The opportunity before this Commission
will be to draft a City charter.
Clerk of the Commission Sullivan administered the Oath of Office to incoming Mayor Andrew
Cetraro, after which he was seated and outgoing Mayor Steve Kirchhoff presented him with the new gavel.
Mayor Cetraro thanked former Mayor Kirchhoff for serving as Mayor the past two years, saying he
led the Commission well. He also thanked former Commissioner Brown for his service to the citizens of
Bozeman. The Mayor then welcomed new Commissioners Krauss and Kirchhoff, noting there is much work
to be done; and he will be responsible for leading the Commission toward change. There are both big
projects and economic vitality looming before this Commission for its direction. Mayor Cetraro concluded
by saying he hopes the Commission will put people first and will act according to sound business practice.
Mayor Cetraro concluded the reorganization by thanking resigning City Manager Johnson for his
service, adding he joins City staff in wishing Mr. Johnson all the best in the future.

01-05-04
- 8-
mission acknowledge receipt of and accept City Manager Johnson's letter of resignation, effective January
13,2004.
Commissioner Youngman then asked that the motion be amended to include written statements of
closure to ensure City Manager Johnson will share his knowledge after he leaves City employment, and that
he will draft written plans forwarding his recommendations and thoughts regarding the armory, the Story
Mansion, and the proposed parking structure.
Mayor Cetraro stated he doesn't believe the motion needs to be amended because he has
confidence that these things are already being done by City Manager Johnson.
City Manager Johnson stated he has completed a first draft of several documents, including the
history of the impact fee legislation, his thoughts and comments regarding the Arts at City Center project,
the parking structure, and the armory. He has also defined for the Commission the process used when he
was hired as City Manager, which includes changes made to the City Manager position and the class
specification. There is a citizen task force that will report to the Commission in March on the Story Mansion,
and those comments will include financing options and the best use possibilities for the mansion. City
Manager Johnson expressed his hope that the Commission would feel free to call him, if needed, for much
longer than six months, as he hopes to be involved with the City for much longer than that. In his new
capacity, he hopes to be able to assist the City with federal funding and grant opportunities.
It was moved by Commissioner Youngman, seconded by Commissioner Kirchhoff, that the original
motion be amended to include the following statements as conditions of City Manager Johnson's release from
his employment contract with the City of Bozeman:

thoughts regarding needed actions, costs, timing, and questions that need to be
answered in regard to special projects in which he has played a pivotal leadership
role: selling the armory, financing the parking garage, and
financing/renovating/managing the Story Mansion.
2) To be on-call for six months if staff or Commissioners have questions about these
special projects.
3) To make himself available for meetings, if needed, to fill in information gaps regarding
the special projects he's helped lead, when he's in Bozeman.

and funding options, particularly ones the City hasn't previously taken advantage of
and give her referrals to appropriate agency contacts, after he's had an opportunity
as part of his new job to learn this information.
The amending motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner
Youngman, Commissioner Kirchhoff, and Commissioner Hietala; those voting No being Commissioner Krauss
and Mayor Cetraro.
