(GHG) emissions, increase the supply of clean and renewable energy; foster

BACKGROUND:In accordance with City Commission Resolution 5323, citizen advisory boards

Sustainability Advisory Board continued discussions regarding the
development of a two-year work plan with additional information presented
to further detail a number of items.
Staff will present a work plan that provides the Sustainability Advisory Board
with the opportunity to influence a number of important policies and
programs which will result in a measurable impact towards the City's
emissions goals and community resilience. The Sustainability Advisory Board
will consider the attached work plan for adoption (and subsequent submittal
to the City Commission for their consideration).
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Sustainability Advisory Board.

Sustainability Advisory Board Work Plan 2022-2023
Focus Area 1: Climate Planning
The Sustainability Board will provide advisory recommendations to the City Commission, and as requested
by the City Manager, to the City Manager, on policies related to the City of Bozeman’s Climate Plan. The
policies the board advises on must seek to ensure Bozeman is a leader in mitigating the impacts of climate
change.
Work Plan Item 1: Unified Development Code (UDC) Overhaul
Resolution 5368 adopts the UDC Overhaul as a City Commission priority for 2022-2023. The UDC
Overhaul will adopt changes to the Unified Development code that facilitate increased housing
density, housing affordability, climate action plan objectives, sustainable building practices, and
a transparent, predictable and understandable development review process. The Sustainability
Advisory Board will provide input to staff on the Climate Plan objectives and sustainable
building practices sections of the UDC Overhaul, and make a recommendation to the City
Commission (i.e., agenda action item).
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 1.B.1, 1.B.5, 3.G.2, 6.N.3
Work Plan Item 2: Model Homeowner’s Association (HOA) Covenants
Resolution 5368 adopts Model HOA Covenants as a City Commission priority for 2022-2023.
Model HOA Covenants call for the establishment of model Homeowner’s Association Covenants
that encourage water conservation, neighborhood and community connectivity, accessory
dwelling units, childcare, drought tolerant landscaping, composting, local food, recycling, energy
efficiency, and renewable energy. The Sustainability Advisory Board will provide input to staff
on the potential barriers within existing HOA covenants, review draft model covenants, and
make a recommendation to the City Commission (i.e., agenda action item).
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 1.B.1, 2.F.2
Work Plan Item 3: Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan
Resolution 5368 adopts the Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan as a City Commission
priority for 2022-2023. The Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan will provide a
comprehensive plan, including the development of spatial tools to share current data, and specific
recommendations to build policy, programs, and partnerships resulting in the protection of
sensitive lands. The Sustainability Advisory Board will review the draft plan, and make a
recommendation to the City Commission (i.e., agenda action item).
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 6.P.1, 6.P.3
Work Plan Item 4: Community and Neighborhood Resilience Programming
Action 3.H.3 of the 2020 Bozeman Climate Plan calls for a community and neighborhood
preparedness outreach campaign focused on actionable steps community members can take to
mitigate and adapt to potential hazards. The Sustainability Advisory Board will provide feedback
to staff on the development of an outreach campaign and ways to reach vulnerable populations
(i.e., agenda work session item).
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 3.I.1
8
Work Plan Item 5: Food System Stakeholder and Priority Mapping
Solution N. of the 2020 Bozeman Climate Plan highlights the critical importance of a robust local
food system to reduce emissions while supporting a more equitable and resilient community.
Developing all facets of a local food system, including but not limited to food production, access,
processing, distribution, sales, resiliency and security, waste, education, and natural resources
requires further stakeholder mapping, partnership building, and priority mapping. The
Sustainability Advisory Board will provide input to staff on food system stakeholders and
recommendations moving forward (i.e., agenda work session item).
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 6.N
Work Plan Item 6: Expand Composting Services and Collection
Action 5.M.2 of the Bozeman Climate Plan calls for expanded composting services and collection.
The Solid Waste Division is in the process of developing a pilot residential curbside food
composting program. Marketing materials will be developed Q4 of 2022. Sustainability Advisory
Board will provide input to staff on community education and outreach planning for the new
residential composting pilot program (i.e., agenda work session item).
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 5.M.2
Work Plan Item 7: Energy Efficiency Financing & Investing with Commercial Property Assessed Capital
Enhancements (C-PACE)
Action 1.A.6 of the Bozeman Climate Plan calls for the creation of a Montana green bank and
countywide low-interest loan program to spur public and private investment in energy efficiency
and renewable energy. C-PACE financing is recognized as a tool that will further this action and
was authorized in Montana (MCA 90-4-13) during the 2021 Legislative Session. The C-PACE statute
enables cities and counties to impose a special charge on real property to secure loans made for
energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy improvements. Once the City of
Bozeman or Gallatin County adopts the C-PACE resolution, the Sustainability Advisory Board will
provide input to staff on identifying complementary tools, program messaging, and an outreach
strategy to encourage participation (i.e., agenda work session item).
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 1.A.6
Work Plan Item 8: Building Electrification Campaign
Action 1.A.3 of the Bozeman Climate Plan calls for energy efficiency information and resources
for private party, Action 1.B.1 calls for high performance building resources and training for the
development community, and Action 1.C.3 calls for outreach and incentives for high-efficiency
electric appliances and equipment. These are priority actions that will be included in a
comprehensive campaign to address energy efficiency of existing buildings (Solution A.), net zero
energy new construction (Solution B.), and building electrification (Solution C). This is a high-
priority campaign with national, state, and community partnerships in place to build an outreach
and bulk purchasing campaign. The Sustainability Advisory Board will provide input to staff
during campaign development, including strategies to address equity and housing affordability
(i.e., agenda work session item).
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 1.A.3, 1.B.1, 1.C.3
9
Work Plan Item 9: 2021 IECC Building Code Update
Action 1.B.2 of the Bozeman Climate Plan calls for adoption of a state-wide net zero energy
code. The State of Montana is considering adoption of the 2021 International Energy
Conservation Code (IECC) that would improve the overall energy efficiency of residential and
commercial buildings. With this adoption of the 2021 IECC, the State of Montana’s draft rules
suggest there may be an opportunity to consider local adoption of solar-ready design for
commercial (Appendix CB) and residential buildings (Appendix RB), as well as potential for
adopting net-zero energy for commercial buildings (Appendix CC). The Sustainability Advisory
Board will provide input to staff, and make a recommendation to the City Commission (i.e.,
agenda action item).
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 1.B.2, 2.F.2
Work Plan Item 10: Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Planning and Installations
The Bozeman Climate Plan calls for the development of an EV roadmap (4.K.1), collaboration to
install publicly available EV infrastructure (4.K.2) and city fleet and transit EV investment (4.K.3).
As the City plans new EV charging equipment for city facilities to serve the city fleet and the
public, the Sustainability Advisory Board will provide input to staff on EV partnerships and
policy planning.
*Bozeman Climate Plan Reference: 4.K.1, 4.K.2, 4.K.3
Focus Area 3: Beautification
Resolution 5327 establishes the Sustainability Board and assigns a focus area for beautification. The
Sustainability Board will assist the City in implementing the City’s annual Cleanup Week.
