Financial Reports
August 2021 finance report is attached below.
Executive Director’s Report
PMC Updates:
• PMC Operating Agreement Update – In touch with David Crowley with updates, I will keep PMC
updated on next steps
• DBP Restructuring Update – The DBP has hired Gaby Krevat to fulfill the Operations Manager
position. Gaby’s first day of work was July 19th. Ellie has continued to provide support and
guidance at DBA events to ensure things run smoothly and a confident transition can take place
next year for all summer events.
URD Updates:
• Unified Development Code Edits – Building Height/Parking Requirements: refer to UDC Edit
memo/discussion item on agenda.
• Transportation Plans/Phase II scope: The City of Bozeman is short staffed and has not had an
opportunity to provide comments on Part One yet. One suggestion from the board was to
separate out the concepts studied into who has jurisdiction over the matters, COB and MDT. The
board suggested staff to research if more funding will be made available for maintenance of
Main Street with the change from Bozeman becoming a metropolitan city from a micropolitan
city.
• Parking Structure Plans/Bonding Analysis: Ellie is in the process of forming a working group to
focus on structured parking and funding. The proposed group would consist of two URD board
members, David Fine (COB Economic Development Dept), a representative from Sanderson
Stewart (term contract team), a representative from Walker Consultants (term contract team),
and potentially other individuals.

• Sewer Line Projects: The board discussed that this line item in the budget should have a formal
process or possibly be a grant program for developers to apply. Ellie and Emily will research
further and have more information at the next board meeting for potential options.
• “Run DMC” Shuttle: There continues to be discussions surrounding the circulator shuttle “Run
DMC”, connecting Downtown, Midtown, and the Cannery Districts at parking commission,
parking subcommittee and at the varied neighborhood advisory board meetings (ex. DURD,
MURD). The DBP has been involved with the discussion and may be a funding source for this
project as it moves forward.
• North Rouse Lighting Project: This project went to bid, was awarded to Montana Lines and work
has begun with intent to finish the ground needed before the Hawthorne school start date of
August 30. Due to supply chain issues, the poles will be delivered and installed in late Sept. and
Montana Lines will be prepared to do this quickly and with little impact. Ellie and Emily has
created a property/business owner list for this project and will keep them updated constantly on
the project’s timelines.
Additional Downtown Updates:
• Downtown Maintenance Update: The BID board approved spending to purchase a new Kawasaki
Mule for the maintenance team. Due to Supply chains, it will be likely it arrives in late fall. The
Maintenance staff is working harder than ever this summer, THANKS!!! Mike, Trish, Porter and
Kodie
• Outreach Bozeman: The Outreach Bozeman pilot program is in full swing. HRDC hosted the first
de-escalation training for businesses and property owners Friday, July 30th. Two HRDC employees
(Crystal and Jenna) are conducting street outreach, specifically to businesses every Thursday and
Friday. Brian (HRDC) and Marek (BPD) are also doing street outreach and education in downtown
on Wednesdays. The DBP has also helped with additional marketing and outreach through email,
social media and press outlets. There already seems to be positive outcomes forming. We will
continue to work with our Outreach partners to produce data and feedback through the program
and will present at future board meetings.
• Parking Commission Update: At the May Parking Commission meeting, a resolution was passed
to establish two subcommittees of the parking commission to address the unfinished strategies
in the parking work plan. The two subcommittees are broken into the categories of “Capacity”
and “Policy”. The subcommittees have been meeting a couple of times throughout the last
couple of months outside of the regularly scheduled parking commission meetings. If you are
interested in listening to the recorded meetings, they can be found on the city website under the
parking commission section.
o The Parking Capacity Subcommittee has been meeting bi-monthly and Ellie and Emily
attended the July 14th Capacity Subcommittee meeting to discuss garage capacity,
additional seasonal bike parking and shared use opportunities on surface lots. One goal of
the Capacity Subcommittee is to gauge interest of downtown property owners and hold
discussions of shared-use agreements for private parking lots to unlock more parking
spaces. Staff will continue to stay engaged and work with this group.
o The Policy Subcommittee proposed parking Resolution 2021-05: A resolution of the
Parking Commission to the City of Bozeman, Montana, About Parking Requirements in
the Unified Development Code to the Parking Commission meeting on August. 13 This
resolution was passed 3-1 by the Parking Commission at this meeting with an amendment
to “eliminate parking requirements in the B-3” There will be continued avenues for public
5
engagement on this resolution through the City’s full UDC edit process now and through
the fall. DBP staff will stay very engaged with all 3 boards to engage our property and
business owners throughout this process.

TO: Downtown URD Board
FROM: Ellie Staley
DATE: May 13, 2021
SUBJECT: Streetscape Assistance/Utility Infrastructure Improvements,
$20-$25,000 request for funding at 104 East Main
Downtown Utility Infrastructure Improvements - $250,000 budgeted in FY22
This funding will support utility infrastructure improvements such as repairs to poles, pipes, cables, wires,
conduits, etc. The URD Board will be discussing further how to allocate funding to projects.
As redevelopment continues to expand beyond our downtown core, we are noticing the lack of interest in
expanding our preferred Downtown Streetscape due to increased cost due to utility access. With several
project in progress and others arising soon, I believe it’s time we start to look at how best to support
developments with necessary utility improvements that will best serve our district, expand our
beautification efforts and add taxable value to our district.
ACTION ITEM: The current redevelopment project at 140 East Main is interested in installing trees and
possibly light poles along the parameter of their project but are hesitant about the added cost of running
the electrical conduit and lines to the light poles. This conduit not only provides the necessary electrical
needs for these 4 light poles but also extends the access to nearby redevelopment projects through an
added electrical box, refer to attached SILD map. The electrical access this project will also increase
safety within our main pedestrian area and can also provide additional development incentive to the
adjacent properties, therefore added potential to our URD taxable value. If conduit is not installed in
accordance with this project, the sidewalk will need to be torn up in order to install light poles in the future.
The total cost to assist in this electrical/conduit need at 140 East Main St. is $20-$25,000. I am requesting
DURD Board’s approval for this expense and support for a more in-dept look at how best to provide utility
and infrastructure improvement assistance moving forward.

Downtown Bozeman Partnership – ED Report
September 2021
PMC Updates:
• PMC Operating Agreement/Employee Manual Update – In discussion with Michael at Crowley
Fleck. He is reviewing the needed updates and we are meeting next week to confirm and move
forward with PMC approval. We are hoping to move forward with some Employee Manual in
the coming months. There are several areas that our language is outdated.
General Downtown Updates:
• Downtown Maintenance Update: We are excited to announce the NEW RED 2022 Kawasaki
Mule has arrived! We have had issues with the current Mule for several months and our
maintenance staff is beyond excited. Mule is in Billings getting assembled and Bozeman arrival
is TBA, likely within a week or two.
• Outreach Bozeman: The Outreach Bozeman pilot program has been funded for summer of
2021. HRDC hosted a De-escalation and Crisis Training offered to businesses and property
owners in July, with the next one tentatively in October. Crystal Baker is HRDC’s outreach
specialist who will be making rounds Tuesday and Thursday to individuals in the community
who may be experiencing homelessness and provide information on resources available.
Brooke, one of HRDC’s housing navigators will be making rounds with Crystal. Jenna Huey will
be the main contact for businesses who have any questions on training, situations and
resources. Jenna will be making rounds with Marek every other Wednesday. We have received
great input so far from businesses and community members who are asking how they can be a
part of Outreach Bozeman and volunteer opportunities. We are working to come up with a
timeline with HRDC report data quarterly and scheduling times to do outreach alongside with
them to make introductions to businesses.
o HRDC stated that outreach kits are a priority need and would be an ideal volunteer
opportunity for those who want to be involved!
▪ HRDC is collecting Outreach Pack materials to distribute to members of our
community experiencing homelessness. Contact Crystal (cbaker@thehrdc.org or
406-585-4844) to learn more about this volunteer opportunity.
• Parking Commission Update: At the August 12th Parking Commission meeting, the commission
passed Resolution #2021-05 (final unsigned version attached). This recommendation will be
given to the City Commission as a recommendation when they begin to review UDC parking
requirements. One of the most notable changes in the recommendations in the Resolution is
the suggestion to exempt developments in the B-3 zoning district from required minimums. The
Resolution suggests the following for UDC parking requirements:
o NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Bozeman Parking Commission recommends the Bozeman City
Commission and Planning and Zoning Commissions adopt the below parking requirements in the Unified
Development Code for residential, commercial, and mixed use developments:
▪ A minimum of one parking space per 1000 SF of conditioned space
▪ A maximum of three surface parking spaces per 1000 SF of conditioned space
18
▪ Required parking shall be rounded to the nearest whole parking space (e.g. 1400 SF = 1 parking
space; 1600 SF = 2 parking spaces), to the nearest square foot and with halves rounded up
▪ For mixed use developments, requirements for commercial and residential uses shall be calculated
separately, with a reduction of up to 50% of the lesser of the two requirements allowed
▪ Affordable housing developments, developments within one half mile of high frequency transit
stops, the B-3 Zoning District, and redevelopments of less than 5000 SF are exempted from
required minimums
▪ No additional credits or reductions are given or allowed except for a residential allowance of one
parking space per 24 linear feet of parkable curb frontage (or alternative parking arrangement
approved by the City)
▪ Exceptions to these requirements, for qualifying developments, are available through a Planned
Unit Development, subject to City Commission review and approval
Current URD Project Updates:
• Unified Development Code Edits – Building Height/Parking Requirements:
o B-3 Height & Zone Edge Transition edits are included on the October Community
Development staff agenda to review and begin public engagement. The update includes
height requirements in the B-3 district and the zone edge transition requirements for all
applicable districts. This amendment will go through a community engagement process
and therefore will not go before City Commission for adoption until the Spring 2022
amendments package. Link to online public comment:
https://www.bozeman.net/government/planning/udc-community-platform/b-3-height-
zone-edge-transitions-update. Ellie and Emily are meeting with Jacob and Sarah, project
managers on this item next week to discuss timeline and community outreach plans.
o Parking requirements have been removed from the UDC revision schedule, there is no
information as to when they will be added back to the schedule. UDC Edits will remain
on future board meetings to continue conversations as more information is provided.
• Parking Structure Plans/Bonding Analysis: Two members of the URD Board, representatives from
the City, Term Team and additional Stakeholders are forming a parking/bonding working group.
Our first meeting was scheduled for Monday, Sept. 13 at 2pm. Initial discussions will involve best
site options, further bonding analysis and next steps.
• Alley Project: Ellie and Emily have been making headway on getting this project started. We
have met with the City Community Development staff about the necessary next steps and
permitting process. We have been developing a scope of work for a potential project manager
to take us into Phase I and we’re hopeful we can go to bid on this project within this fiscal year.
Link to Alley Concept Plan: https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dba-2021/Resource-
PDFs/2020-11-12_Bozeman_Alleyways_-_Report_Reduced.pdf
• Downtown Streetscape/Utility Infrastructure Improvements Update: There are several
redevelopment projects happening just outside the downtown core, several of which are
concerned about the costs and legwork association with the continuation of the streetscape
elements we’d prefer to see extended throughout the downtown district. I am requesting
$20,00 for the 104 East Main Street to help run conduit and electrical lines to projected light
poles and approval to continue looking into the best way to assist with infrastructure
improvement within the core to expand our downtown streetscape. Refer to Memo and SILD
Map attachments)

• North Rouse Lighting Project: The work to install the streetlamp along North Rouse is underway.
Light poles are expected to ship this week and work is set to be completed by the end of
September or early October.
• Transportation Plans/Phase II scope: The City of Bozeman is short staffed and has not had an
opportunity to provide comments on Part One yet. One suggestion from the board was to
separate out the concepts studied into who has jurisdiction over the matters, COB and MDT. The
board suggested staff to research if more funding will be made available for maintenance of Main
Street with the change from Bozeman becoming a metropolitan city from a micropolitan city.
