City of Bozeman Updates City Board Consolidation Updates: At the August 10th City Commission meeting, Ordinance 2085 was passed to consolidate the City’s advisory boards to create the Transportation Board, Sustainability Board, Urban Parks and Forestry Board, the Economic Vitality Board, and the Community Development Board. Applications are now open for the boards, applications close September 30. Screening and interviews will happen in October, appointments made on November 16th at the City Commission meeting. The first meetings of the boards will be held in December. Please note, there will not be any changes to the Downtown BID or URD boards. Downtown Plan Projects Here are some updates regarding other projects proposed in the 2019 Downtown Plan. Structured Parking Planning— Two members of the URD Board, representatives from the City, term contract team and additional stakeholders have formed a parking/bonding working group. The group met once in late September and will meet on November 12th for continued discussion on site solidification, bonding details and project next steps. UDC Updates – Rob Pertzborn and Susan Riggs have been contracted by the URD to research and update the URD/BID and downtown stakeholders updated on the City’s UDC Edits, the timeline for changes and how these updates may impact downtown and why we should care. A Community Engagement process will begin November 2021 regarding B-3 height and zone edge transitions, this topic will be brought to the City Commission in spring of 2022. Parking requirements has been removed from the UDC revision schedule, there is not a new date for the topic on the listed schedule. North Rouse Lighting Project – The light poles have been installed, we are awaiting the arrival of the breakaway couplings and skirts which will be installed and the project will be wrapped up in November. Parking Policy Updates – At the October 14th Parking Commission Meeting, Resolution #2021-06 was 4 passed supporting additional capacity for transportation in Downtown Bozeman. This resolution is a recommendation to the City Commission and future Transportation Board. Walker Consultants gave a presentation of the recently completed Downtown Bozeman Parking Study which studied the occupancy and movement of parking in the downtown core. The study found that in the core area, parking occupancy exceeded 85% during the summer weekday afternoon. The November Parking Commission meeting is pushed back one week due to Veteran’s Day and will be held on Thursday, November 18th at 7:30am. Outreach Bozeman HRDC has recently compiled a Quarterly Report of the contacts and feedback they have received through the Outreach Bozeman program. The quarterly report was sent out to BID property owners, DBA members, and our general email blast list. The most recent de-escalation training was held on November 12th at the Warming Center. Ellie is attended along with several other confirmed downtown stakeholders. Collection bins have been placed at Owenhouse with signage to collect items for HRDC’s outreach packs including socks, gloves, personal hygiene items and more. HRDC is forming a Housing and Homelessness Advisory Council with the intent to gather community members, partners, and customers with a shared interest in helping HRDC draft and implement strategic priorities related to their work along the housing continuum. Emily has been asked to join to represent Downtown Bozeman in this effort. The first meeting held on November 12th. Maintenance Program Update Currently we have one part-time general maintenance employee (Mike), one weekend general maintenance employee and one part-time garage maintenance employee (Trish).

The board provided comments that being sustainable moving into the future of this program is important and self-watering baskets should be considered for any new baskets that are purchased. Emily provided comments that due to supply chain issues, securing all desired baskets in time for the spring 2022 grow season may be difficult and expanding the program may need to be phased in. Additional expenses for equipment and staffing will be presented for the FY23 budget once the number of baskets are confirmed. ACTION: Erik Nelson moved to approve for summer 2022, based on availability, to extend the flower basket boundary to existing streetlamps on blocks facing Mendenhall and Babcock with self-watering baskets, and wrought-iron baskets to existing streetlamps in the BID boundary on Main Street and side streets up to Mendenhall and Babcock. Jolee Barry seconded the motion. All voted in favor.

We will work with her directly to submit all needed permits and documents to the city. It has been determined that initially we will need to develop a conceptual design.

Parking/Bonding Update: In early December, at the request and approval of the URD Board, Jeff Mihelich advised city staff to begin the necessary work done to amend Resolution 5142 which would allow additional bonds to be issued by the Downtown Urban Renewal District. They have given us a tentative timeline of 6-8 months in order to take the needed steps with bond council, legal staff and then commission approval. In the meantime, it is critical the URD Board identify the “project(s)” they intend to utilize the bonded dollars toward. It has been determined by the URD parking working group that the library and county courthouse are the top two parking structure sites. Ellie is requesting feedback from the URD board on the next steps surrounding confirming a project site. The term contract team with leadership from Danielle at Sanderson Stewart is ready to take these to the “site plan” development point. **Parking Supply & Demand Management Work Session- Tuesday, February 1 at 6pm on Webex.
