Phase 4 is part of the Bozeman Gateway Planned Unit Development (PUD) Subdivision which consists of a 72-acre mixed use development. It is located directly south and west of the Huffine Lane/West College Street intersection, west of Fowler Avenue and north of West Garfield Street. Phase 1, 2, and 3 are currently being development in accordance with the PUD. Phase 4 is unplatted and currently sits vacant. Phase 4 is considered the Town Center of the Bozeman Gateway PUD with a “main street” that runs east-west through the middle of the development. It will continue the concept of open space corridors that was approved with the PUD and previous phases. A north-south open space corridor is located on the east side of development and totals 1.72 acres. Phase 4 will include a combination of residential and commercial. With the adoption of the PUD back in 2006, a stipulation was placed on the development that it had to contain a residential component within Phase 4. Phase 4 will include this residential component along with commercial uses. The final decision for a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat with less than 50 lots must be made within 60 working days of the date it was deemed adequate. The Development Review Committee (DRC) deemed the application adequate for continued review on May 11, 2021. Pursuant to BMC 38.240.130 the city commission shall approve, conditionally approve or deny the subdivision application by August 5, 2021, unless there is a written extension from the developer, not to exceed one year.

The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and the notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the parcel Access to the property is from West Garfield Street to the south which is a City maintained road and Harmon Stream Boulevard to the west which is a privately maintained road. Technology Boulevard West is being extended from the east and required to be privately maintained per condition of approval number 13 and code provision number 10. Primary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 76-3-608 1. The effect on agriculture This item was waived by the DRC with the pre-application. 2. The effect on Agricultural water user facilities Agricultural water user facilities on site include canals, irrigation ditches, and streams that provide irrigation water to downstream users. The Farmer’s Canal, tributary to the Baxter Border stream, Section Line Ditch, and Upper Cattail Creek (Harmon Stream) all transport irrigation water through the property. No modifications to the existing agricultural water user facilities will be done with this phase and the ability of the facilities to deliver water to downstream users will be protected. 3. The effect on Local services Water/Sewer – Water and sewer systems exist to serve the subdivision. The subdivider proposes to extend water and sewer mains to the subdivision. Code provision 4 requires the applicant to submit plans for water and sewer main extensions, approved by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, to be reviewed by the City. Code provision 9 requires a city standard sewer easement where the sewer system is located. Building permits will not be issued prior to city acceptance of site infrastructure improvements, unless concurrent construction is requested and conditions allow. Water rights exist for the subject property, the applicant proposes to transfer to City ownership existing water rights as outlined in condition number 12. Streets – The Growth Policy and subdivision standards require adequate connectivity of a development to the street grid. Access is taken from West Garfield to the south, Harmon Stream Boulevard to the west, and Technology Boulevard to the east. Diagonal parking is provided along Technology Boulevard. All internal streets will be privately maintained as outlined in condition of approval number 3 and code provision number 10. A traffic impact study was provided with the application and found that the infrastructure that exists and is proposed for the project will service the development. Police/Fire – The area of the subdivision is within the service area of both these departments. No concerns on service availability have been identified. DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C745075-9542-48EA-AA6C-938A1F8F501E 24 19436 Findings of Fact for Bozeman Gateway Phase 4 Major Subdivision Page 17 of 24 Stormwater - The subdivision will construct storm water control facilities to conform to municipal code. Phase 4 lies within the scope of the previously approved drainage plan and will incorporate minor basins and low impact development for runoff. The responsibility of the stormwater facilities is the responsibility of the Property Owners Association (POA) as outlined in condition of approval 16. Inspection of installed facilities prior to final plat will verify that standards have been met. Parklands – Since phase 4 contains the residential component, parkland is required. Parkland will be provided through cash-in-lieu of a land dedication equating to 2.15 acres. Cash-in-lieu of parkland is required with the final plat as outlined in condition 17. 4. The effect on the Natural environment No significant negative impacts to the natural environment have been identified. There are no floodplains located within the subject property. A wetland delineation report was completed and determined that no waters are located within the project area. The site is in an area of high groundwater which may negatively impact future structures or cause illicit discharges into the sanitary sewer and over burden the surface drainage system. Condition 16d prohibits use of basements or crawl spaces unless a professional engineer certifies that the structure has been designed in such a way to accommodate seasonal high groundwater and requires addition of a notation of this restriction on the conditions of approval sheet. This requirement will protect both future structure owners from future hazards of flooding and lessen burden on the public from illicit discharges. BMC 38.550.070 requires use of wells or surface water rights to irrigate parks and open spaces rather than municipal water supply. The application will irrigate open space and boulevard strips landscaping with wells. 5. The effect on Wildlife and wildlife habitat No significant negative impacts to the wildlife and wildlife habitat have been identified. There are no known populations of large mammals or endangered species that occupy the site. 6. The effect on Public health and safety With the recommended conditions of approval and required plat corrections, the subdivision will not significantly impact public health and safety. The intent of the regulations in Chapter 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. The subdivision has been reviewed by the DRC which has determined that it is in general compliance with the title with conditions and code provisions. Any other conditions deemed necessary to ensure compliance have been noted throughout this staff report. Condition of approval 1 requires full compliance with all applicable code requirements. All subdivisions must be reviewed against the criteria listed in 76-3-608.3.b-d, Mont Code Ann. and as a result, the Department of Community Development has reviewed this application against the listed criteria and further provides the following summary for submittal materials and DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C745075-9542-48EA-AA6C-938A1F8F501E 25 19436 Findings of Fact for Bozeman Gateway Phase 4 Major Subdivision Page 18 of 24 requirements. All infrastructure will meet City standards and the improvements to the watercourses will not impact the current floodplains on the project site nor will they increase flood risk on the property or surrounding properties. Preliminary Plat Supplements A subdivision pre-application plan review was completed by the DRC on February 21, 2019. The DRC found that more information was needed prior to the application going forward to preliminary plat so revisions were submitted on April 22, 2019. Staff offers the following summary comments on the supplemental information required with Article 38.220.060, BMC. 1. 38.220.060.A.1 Surface Water Phase 4 has been significantly disturbed due to surrounding commercial development. An unnamed drainage along the eastern side of the property once drained into the Farmer’s Canal which has since been rerouted and piped underground along the south boundary of the project. With the rerouting of the Farmer’s Canal, a steady source of water was no longer provided to the unnamed drainage and wetland feature. Therefore, the unnamed drainage has become a drainage swale which now only receives occasional stormwater runoff from surrounding parking areas and streets. Two culvert/bridge crossings will be installed with the project providing access across the unnamed drainage to parking facilities. The Drainage Plan calls for 30” concrete culverts or an equivalent capacity bride span to be installed at the crossings. 2. 38.220.060.A.2 Floodplains There are no floodplains on the subject property. 3. 38.220.060.A.3 Groundwater Groundwater depth was monitored and had depths that vary from 7-11’ below the ground surface. As a supplement to the original water table, a hydrograph from a nearby well has been submitted with the application. Elevating the roads slightly above the existing ground assist in providing separation to the groundwater. Condition of approval 16 restricts the use of basements and crawl spaces due to high groundwater. 4. 38.220.060.A.4 Geology, Soils and Slopes This subdivision will not significantly impact the geology, soils or slopes. Alluvial deposits derived from the mountains south of Bozeman underlie the subdivision. There are no geological hazards or unusual features that limit the suitability of the land for the proposed uses. Two soil types exist on the site that are similar to those found throughout Bozeman. Limitations to development are primarily depth to groundwater, bearing capacity, frost heave potential, shrink-swell potential and flooding.

Methods of erosion control and revegetation shall be in conformance to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality Montana Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. 5. 38.220.060.A.5 Vegetation On site vegetation is limited to grasses, forbs and a few locations with low growing shrubs, such as wild roses, found along fence lines and near drainage courses. There are no critical plant communities on site. A weed management plan is included in the application. 6. 38.220.060.A.6 Wildlife See discussion above under primary review criteria. 7. 38.220.060.A.7 Historical Features There are no known historical features located within the property. A Cultural Evaluation was conducted in 2004 that stated that the Farmer’s Canal may be significant in terms of National Register criteria but the integrity of the entire canal system has been compromised over time. If any historic items are discovered during construction, the State Historic Preservation Office will be contacted. 8. 38.220.060.A.8 Agriculture Materials waived. 9. 38.220.060.A.9 Agricultural Water User Facilities This subdivision will not significantly impact agricultural water user facilities. See discussion above under primary review criteria. 10. 38.220.060.A.10 Water and Sewer The subdivision will not significantly burden city water and sewer infrastructure with the recommended conditions of approval and code provisions. See discussion above under primary review criteria. 11. 38.220.060.A.11 Stormwater Management The subdivision will not significantly impact stormwater infrastructure. The stormwater systems will be maintained by the Bozeman Gateway POA. See discussion above under primary review criteria. 12. 38.220.060.A.12 Streets, Roads and Alleys The subdivision will not significantly impact the City’s street infrastructure. See primary review criteria above for further information. 13. 38.220.060.A.13 Utilities This subdivision will not significantly impact utilities. Standard 10-ft utility easements will be provided across all lots. See discussion above under primary review criteria regarding extension of water and sewer. All private utilities are available in the area.

The assumption was made that the existing zoning designation and mixed-use development will not generate many students within the development. 15. 38.220.060.A.15 Land Use Phase 4 is consistent with those allowed by B-2 zoning. Existing land uses bordering the east and north sides of the Bozeman Gateway property are commercial businesses. The properties bordering the south are public lands owned by Montana State University and is agricultural use. The proposed uses will not adversely affect adjacent land uses in the area. Access to the existing public lands will not be affected by the development. All open space within the planned area will be open to the public and easily accessible. No hazards or nuisances will be created by the development. Safety issues related to construction activity will be effectively controlled by standards construction management practices. 16. 38.220.060.A.16 Parks and Recreation Facilities See discussion above under primary review criteria. 17. 38.220.060.A.17 Neighborhood Center Plan The open space lots along the eastern perimeter of Phase 4 connect to the existing trail and open space network to the north. This shared community space and trail system encourages gathering, relaxing and recreating. A bike/pedestrian trail and sidewalk connects to the properties on the north which then connect to the overall trail network of the development that continues eastward to MSU. 18. 38.220.060.A.18 Lighting Plan The preliminary lighting plan is in accordance with the requirements of the UDC and Bozeman Gateway Development Manual. Light spacing on streets meets the requirements of the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy. 19. 38.220.060.A.19 Miscellaneous Materials waived. 20. 38.220.060.A.20 Affordable Housing Materials waived.

PURSUANT to Chapter 38, Article 3, BMC, and other applicable sections of Chapter 38, BMC, public notice was given, opportunity to submit comment was provided to affected parties, and a review of the preliminary plat described in these findings of fact was conducted. B. The purposes of the preliminary plat review were to consider all relevant evidence relating to public health, safety, welfare, and the other purposes of Chapter 38, BMC; to evaluate the proposal against the criteria and standards of Chapter 38 BMC, BMC; and to determine whether the plat should be approved, conditionally approved, or denied. C. The matter of the preliminary plat application was considered by the City Commission at a public hearing on July 20, 2021 at which time the Department of Community Development Staff reviewed the project, submitted and summarized changes to the conditions of approval, and summarized the public comment submitted to the City prior to the public hearing. D. The applicant acknowledged understanding and agreement with the recommended conditions of approval, code provisions including the changes to the conditions of approval. E. The City Commission requested public comment at the public hearing on July 20, 2021. There was no public testimony on the subdivision as submitted. F. It appeared to the City Commission that all parties and the public wishing to examine the proposed preliminary plat and offer comment were given the opportunity to do so. After receiving the recommendation of the relevant advisory bodies established by Article 38.210, BMC, and considering all matters of record presented with the application and during the public comment period defined by Chapter 38, BMC, the City Commission has found that the proposed preliminary plat would comply with the requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code if certain conditions were imposed. Therefore, being fully advised of all matters having come before her regarding this application, the City Commission makes the following decision. G. The preliminary plat has been found to meet the criteria of Chapter 38, BMC, and is therefore approved, subject to the conditions listed in Section 2 of this report and the correction of any elements not in conformance with the standards of the Chapter including those identified in Section 3 of this report. The evidence contained in the submittal materials, advisory body review, public testimony, and this report, justify the conditions imposed on this development to ensure that the final site plan and subsequent construction complies with all applicable regulations, and all applicable criteria of Chapter 38, BMC. H. This City Commission order may be appealed by bringing an action in the Eighteenth District Court of Gallatin County, within 30 days after the adoption of this document by the City Commission, by following the procedures of Section 76-3-625, MCA.

Multi-household dwellings, townhouses, and apartments are allowed as a secondary use due to their complementary nature and ability to enhance the walkability of these districts. Design standards emphasizing pedestrian oriented design are important elements of this district. Use of this zone is appropriate for arterial corridors, commercial nodes, and/or areas served by transit. Adopted Growth Policy Designation: The Future Land Use Map of the Bozeman Community Plan designates the subject property to develop as “Regional Commercial and Services.” Regionally significant developments in this land use category may be developed with physically large and economically prominent facilities requiring substantial infrastructure and location near significant transportation facilities. Due to the scale of these developments, location, and transition between lower density uses is important. Residential space should be located above the first floor to maintain land availability for necessary services. Development within this category needs well-integrated utilities, transportation, and open space networks that encourage pedestrian activity and provide ready-access within and adjacent to development. Large community scale areas in this land use category are generally 75 acres or larger and are activity centers for several surrounding square miles. These are intended to service the overall community as well as adjacent neighborhoods and are typically distributed by a one-to two-mile separation. APPENDIX B – NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT Notice was provided at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the Planning Board and City Commission public hearings.

1F.  EXPERIENCE.    SUMMARY OF D.A. DAVIDSON & CO. UNDERWRITING STRENGTHS    In the RFQ for underwriting services, the City specifies that the bond financing will be to issue up to $9,010,000 in  General Obligation Bonds ($6,730,000 for the relocation of Fire Station #2 and $2,280,000 for Recreation Facilities  Improvements) (together, the “Series 2022 GO Bonds”).  D.A. Davidson is proud to highlight that have we been able  to provide underwriting services on the City’s prior GO Bonds issued in 2012, 2013 and 2014 together with other  SID Bonds and Tax Increment Bonds (such as the Bonds that financed the Parking Garage) with the same Davidson  team.  We view our relationships as long‐term as we have been providing public finance work since our founding in  Montana in 1935.  We live in the communities where our clients live and we are proud of our long‐term approach  to our work.      We provide the following information to highlight our high level of integrity, expertise and service.     Gallatin County Expertise. Issuers of Bonds in Gallatin County are a high priority for Davidson.  Bridget  has worked with the City since she started at Davidson 30 years ago and has served 24 other issuers in the  County as listed below.   Our team is able to apply this in‐depth knowledge base to credit rating presentations,  which highlight the economic development occurring in the area.   We consider ourselves the “Bozeman,  Gallatin County, and Montana Experts”.     D.A. DAVIDSON – GALLATIN COUNTY ISSUER EXPERIENCE  Airport:  Hospital:  Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport    Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital  University:  Water and Sewer District:  Montana State University

Three Forks Elementary    Three Forks Elementary    West Yellowstone K‐12     D.A. Davidson’s distribution capabilities and financial strength as a firm enable us to  provide the capital and expertise to underwrite bonds in any market situation.  According  to Municipal Market Analytics in their report generated on April 12, 2022, municipal bids wanted surged to nearly  $1.85 billion.  The elevated recent totals are indicative of secondary sell pressure and distribution challenges.  With  choppy market conditions, the City will want a firm with a proven Montana track record of successfully placing Bonds.       Sales Force That Specializes in Selling Municipal Bonds.  Given the importance of municipal bonds  at Davidson, we attract financial consultants in our local branch offices, such as our Bozeman office,  who have a strong base of municipal buyers for our bond issues.  No other firm has a comparable  number of financial consultants in Bozeman or throughout Montana.     94    Page | 10    Municipal Underwriting/Trading Desks.  Davidson’s underwriting and trading desks have extensive  knowledge of the Montana municipal marketplace that contributes to the aggressive pricing we deliver  to clients. We are the major market‐maker in Montana municipal bonds. We maintain five regional  trading desks staffed with 15 trading and syndicate underwriting professionals. Our secondary market  activity ensures that our traders and underwriters are knowledgeable about current market rates and  changing investor preferences.    Institutional Sales. Davidson’s institutional sales force is composed of 60 experienced specialists  located nationwide with over 1,200 national, regional and local accounts and strong institutional  relationships. These sales professionals provide us with extensive access to both regional and major  national institutional portfolio and fund managers who are active buyers of municipal bonds.     Reaching Local Investors.  Reaching  out to local investors allows people who  live in our community to participate in the  City’s Bond offering in $5,000 increments.   Not only it is deemed important in our  community to have local companies and  workers to be provided an opportunity to  work on the completion of the construction  project but it is also important to provide  local  investors  the  opportunity  to  participate in the Bond offering.      We  focus  on  maturity  structures  that  provide  both  retail  and  institutional  investors the opportunity to buy Bonds at  the price and yield relationship they desire  so that demand for your Bonds is  maximized.  Davidson is the only firm to  market Montana and specifically Gallatin  County bonds on a regular basis through a  retail network.     As an example, the Three Forks Elementary  and  High  School  Tombstone  Bond  Advertisement for their Series 2020 Bond  issuances  that  are  of  similar  size  and  geographic location to the City’s Bonds is  shown.  The Tombstone was published in  the local papers together with postings on  other websites and outlets.  This is a sample of the local outreach we successfully complete on every offering.   The Three Forks Elementary and HS Bonds were 97% sold at the end of the one‐hour order period; therefore,  based on the successful marketing, we were able to reduce rates by 3 basis points in most maturities from the  rates presented to the bond market during the beginning of the order period.  Due to successful demand and  marketing efforts by D.A Davidson, District officials were pleased interest costs $3.67 million less than the original  estimates, saving the taxpayers money.           Smooth Process.  Davidson’s team has worked with City officials on many bond issues and our great  working relationships with the parties involved will ensure a smooth bond issuance for the City.  We strive to  produce a trouble‐free financing with in‐person meetings and presentations that fully meets the City’s needs  and closes on time.  95    Page | 11   2.  EXPERIENCE WITH MAJOR RATING AGENCIES.    A strong underlying bond rating is key to obtaining low borrowing costs.  The City’s current general obligation rating  of “Aa1” by Moody’s will provide a broad base of investors wanting to purchase Series 2022 GO Bonds at favorable  terms due to strong credit quality.      Our enclosed experience lists (Section 1A and Exhibit A) specifically include a column showing the rating(s)  obtained on each bond issue.   Davidson’s team is expert in the ratio analysis used by the Moody’s and S&P credit  rating agencies to measure the relative credit quality of municipal bond issuers. Davidson’s own proprietary models  together with Moody’s and S&P models and information assist us in preparing rating presentations, anticipating  rating outcomes, and structuring financing solutions for our clients, such as the City.  D.A. Davidson has a former  Moody’s analyst in our Seattle office (Maura Lentini, Senior Vice President, Analyst) who is able to provide our  clients with expert guidance and insight during the rating process.      Shown below are excerpts from the City’s 2019 and 2021 rating reports by Moody’s Investors Service.  We have  highlighted in yellow the least favorable benchmarks as areas we can review closer and work with the City to  improve.                 Over the years, the City and the Davidson team have been able to successfully make the argument for rating  upgrades as described below.  Local examples of rating improvements that we have been involved with include  Gallatin County’s climb to “AA+” with S&P and Bozeman Schools climb to “Aa2” with Moody’s.  Recently in 2021,  Bozeman Schools and several other Montana Schools were flagged for credit review by Moody’s due to Moody’s  revised formulas for school districts and we were the first call for help with the new analysis and we are happy to  report through that work all Districts retained their favorable ratings.     It is interesting to note that D.A. Davidson underwrote the City’s $5,000,000 Series 1995 GO Bonds for road and  transportation improvement projects that was rated “A2” and at the time the City population was 23,826 and the  taxable value was $31,670,324.  For comparison, the City has a population of 53,293, which is a growth of 124%  since 1995, and the City’s 2021 taxable value was $155,352,503 (excluding tax increments), which is an enormous  growth of 391% over the 1995 figures.    96    Page | 12   3.  SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS SCHEDULE.    Our proposed underwriter’s discount of $3.75 per bond is a ‘not to exceed fee’ and is based on other recent larger  offerings by local issuers.  Keep in mind, the primary cost of a financing is the interest costs discussed in Section 4  and so key to the lowest cost financing is the ability to offer bonds to the broadest group of purchasers.  For  example, a hypothetical change of the coupons by just 50 basis points increases the interest costs by approximately  $575,000 over the 20‐year term of the Series 2022 GO Bonds.  With interest rates increasing due to inflationary  concerns and changes by the Fed (See Section 6 for a graph showing recent rate increases), having an Underwriter  that can get into the marketplace as quickly as possible can save hundreds of thousands of dollars as described with  our proposed financing time schedule herein in Section 6.      The underwriter’s discount covers working on the financing to include analysis, rating, disclosure and marketing  efforts, and reoffering the Series 2022 GO Bonds in $5,000 increments maximizing the investors reached to obtain  a favorable pricing.  Having an experienced underwriter will help achieve the lowest possible borrowing cost, which  is the primary cost of a financing and key to success.        In addition, the estimated other costs of issuance for the Series 2022 GO Bonds include:    Outline of Estimated Costs of Issuance   for the Proposed Series 2022 GO Bonds  Dorsey & Whitney Bond Counsel Fees    $25,000  Moody’s Rating Fees    18,000  Dorsey & Whitney Continuing Disclosure Report Fee    1,000  Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fees    800  U.S. Bank Paying Agent/Registrar Initial Fees    750  CUSIP Global Service Fees    740  Davidson POS/OS Costs    350  Combined Costs of Issuance For the City’s Proposed Series 2022 GO Bonds    $46,640        4.  SUMMARY OF FINANCING SCHEDULES.  (SEE EXHIBIT B)     Please see Exhibit B herein for sample financing schedules for the par amount of the City’s Series 2022 GO  Bonds issued at $9,010,000 and assuming a Bank Qualified (BQ) Bond. (See “Sample Scale and Spread  Overview as of April 13” below.)     The true interest cost (TIC) calculation is estimated at 2.948% according to current BQ market conditions,  which are subject to change between now and the date we can lock rates.       The premium calculation is estimated at $294,234.50 based on certain assumptions.  (See “Premium  Considerations” on the following page.)       Because we are not showing a refunding scenario with this new issue of Series 2022 GO Bonds, we have  not included a Net Present Value Savings calculation.         97    Page | 13   Sample Scale and Spread Overview as of April 13.  Rates, yields, and prices are set during a negotiated  process with the City based on market conditions at the time of the Bond offering, which we show as occurring on  or about June 14 according to the schedule shown in Section 6.  If the Series 2022 GO Bonds are not issued with  D.A. Davidson for any reason, the City would owe Davidson $0.      The sample rates are based on spreads to the Municipal Market Data (MMD) Benchmark “AAA.”  Rates are provided  to see the relationship between the April 13 “AAA scale” and our sample “Aa1 scale” for a Bank Qualified (BQ) issue.   Bonds are denoted as BQ when the issuer has less than $10,000,000 in bonds issued during a calendar year and so  for the enclosed financing schedules, we have utilized BQ rates based on feedback from Dorsey & Whitney as Bond  Counsel in consultation with the City Attorney; however, a thorough review of other debt anticipated to be issued  by the City in 2022 will be performed before Bonds are issued as BQ.  Not BQ issues would generally have higher  coupon rates in some maturities and also higher premium paid to the City at closing.     Premium Considerations.  A key factor we will consider in our sizing discussions with the City is the amount  of original issue bond premium expected to be generated at the pricing.  Based on trends in the marketplace, Bonds  typically are priced with a premium in order to obtain the lowest overall borrowing cost since larger institutions are  giving lower yields with this structure.  Based on further analysis, the City will determine whether it will (1) issue  the full amount of the Series 2022 GO Bonds approved by voters of $9,010,000 or (2) reduce the principal amount  by some factor to account for the additional proceeds due to premium received at closing.  This sizing analysis will  include feedback from Project professionals regarding Project cost considerations as well as recognition that the  City will also earn investment earnings on the proceeds of the Series 2022 GO Bonds.      If the City  determines it  will issue the full principal amount,  the  City  could  expect  to  receive  approximately  $294,234.50 in premium by the enclosed sample financing schedules using BQ pricing assumptions, which after  costs of issuance estimates means a $9,223,157.00 deposit to the Project Fund.  If we determine it is best for the  City to use 4% coupons on all maturities (versus the coupons shown above using a mix of 4.00%, 3.00% and 3.125%)  for the BQ example, then we generate a premium of $779,161.90 based on financing assumptions herein with a  Project Fund deposit of $9,708,084.40.  The best offering for the City will be determined based on market conditions  at the time of issuance as well as input by the City and comparisons of the taxpayer impact described to voters as  discussed in the section that follows called “Taxpayer Impact Estimates”. Also as described above, if we issue the  Bonds as Not BQ, then pricing figures and premium may be higher.      Premium if deposited to the Project Fund is available to (1) serve as a contingency for the Project and (2) allow  additional alternate options to be included in the Project.  To the extent the premium is not needed for the  contingency or alternative options, then it is by law transferred from the Project Fund to the Debt Service Fund to  offset levies and taxpayer impacts.      Sample Scale and Spread Overview

further with the City is making sure we have taxpayer impact costs that come in at or below the amount projected  to voters as follows.  With the current bond market trends, Davidson’s projections of the taxpayer impact costs are  lower than the City’s estimates provided to voters last fall, which is favorable given bond market interest rates have  steadily increased since last fall.

5.  OFFICIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION.    As we have on prior City bond issuances and the majority of the Bonds we issue in Montana, we will prepare the  Official Statement as part of our underwriting services to take advantage of the expertise we have developed due  to our long history in Montana.  Our team of Bridget Ekstrom, Aaron Rudio, and Crystal Vogl have over 84 years  in combined experience in drafting Montana disclosure documents and, specifically, Crystal Vogl with 22 years  of experience works in this capacity full‐time.   No other firm is able to provide this level of expertise, as we work,  live, and interact in various capacities in the communities throughout Montana.  In fact other firms utilize our  documents when selling bonds and hire additional outside legal assistance at a significant cost.  Our streamlined  work in this important part of the financing process reduces City administrative burden and allows us to move  ahead and lock interest rates as quickly as possible, which will be important given the current increasing rate  environment.        99    Page | 15   6.  PROPOSED SAMPLE FINANCING TIME SCHEDULE.    We will present a full overview of the financing time and responsibility schedule, but for purposes of this RFP, the  proposed major events for the Series 2022 GO Bonds are summarized below and assume that the Commission  would not be able to place on its agenda the Authorizing Resolution before the May 10 regular meeting.  If this  action occurs earlier than the schedule can move up accordingly.  Our plan is the close the Series 2022 GO Bonds  before the 4th of July week to provide for optimal attention in the market.  The following proposed sample financing  schedule has the City locking rates on June 14 allowing the Commission to adopt the final Bond Resolution at its  regular meeting on June 28.  With interest rates increasing due to inflationary concerns and changes by the Fed,  having D.A. Davidson & Co. as your Underwriter will be important in being able to get into the marketplace as  quickly as possible, which can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in an increasing rate environment.     Proposed Sample Financing Time Schedule   April 27: City informs D.A. Davidson we were chosen to work on the Series 2022 GO Bonds   April 28: DAD provides information to Dorsey & Whitney to draft the Authorizing Bond Resolution and requests  disclosure information from the City   May 4: City provides requested disclosure information   May 10*: Commission adopts Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of Bonds and names Bond Committee to work  on the bond financing process to include four City officials   May 11: DAD provides a draft POS to the City and Dorsey for review and comment   May 16: DAD  holds  Due  Diligence  Meeting  to  review  the  POS/Rating  Presentation    and  distributes  Rating  information to Moody’s   May 25: Moody’s Rating conference call meeting   June 1: City receives Rating and DAD sends tombstone to paper for Bond purchase opportunity   June 2: DAD prints and distributes POS and marketing materials to prospective investors   June 10: DAD holds Pricing Meeting with City officials on the Bond Committee   June 14: DAD Offers Series 2022 GO Bonds and City locks final terms of the Series 2022 GO Bonds by signing BPA   June 20: Dorsey distributes closing documents   June 28*: Commission adopts final Bond Resolution   June 29: Closing documents are signed after distribution by Dorsey   June 30: Closing/delivery of Bond proceeds  * Grey denotes Commission Action       100    Page | 16   RECENT INCREASE IN BOND MARKET RATES.  The recent changes in the Bond Market as shown in the  enclosed “AAA” MMD Chart (which are the benchmark rates used in the charts shown in Section 4) highlight the  importance of locking rates as soon as possible.  Increases in rates can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in  interest costs.  For example, a hypothetical change of the coupon rates shown in Exhibit B by just 50 basis points  increases the interest costs by approximately $575,000 over the 20‐year term of the Series 2022 GO Bonds and so  locking rates at the earliest possible date is highly recommended and something D.A. Davidson is able to achieve  based on our in house expertise in document preparation (see Section 5) and generally our unmatched Montana  and Gallatin County expertise (see Section 1).                 101    Page | 17   7.  ADDITIONAL RELEVANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS.    7A. PROCEDURE OVERVIEW.  To  begin  the  process  of  underwriting  the  Series  2022  GO  Bonds, the  Commission will adopt an Authorizing Bond Resolution naming a Bond Committee to work on the issuance process  that in the past typically included three to four City officials such as the City Manager, Assistant City Manager,  Interim Finance Director, and Mayor (or other designated Commission member).      After a successful marketing and offering period for the Series 2022 GO Bonds, we will present a Bond Purchase  Agreement (BPA) with the proposed terms of the Bond.  The BPA presents the interest rates, purchase price,  redemption features, and the public offering prices of the Series 2022 GO Bonds based on the current market  conditions at the time of the offering.  The City officials consider the BPA, but are not obligated to accept the same  and may reject the same.  If the Series 2022 GO Bonds are not issued with D.A. Davidson for any reason, the City  would owe Davidson $0.      7B. CONCLUSION.      UNMATCHED EXPERTISE.  Bridget Ekstrom and our D.A. Davidson team are highly experienced public  finance bankers in Montana, and we believe that no other firm can meet the City’s needs with the same dedicated  performance Davidson is able to deliver.  Simply entering the market as quickly as possible with our in house team  of experts can save hundreds of thousands of dollars as described in Sections 4 and 5.  We are the perfect  combination  of  strength  through  both  local  presence  and  national rankings and resources.  No firm has a  comparable number of financial professionals (approximately 40) in Bozeman or throughout Montana; therefore,  we can offer broad reach of local banks and individual investors.  Our connection to local banks will be important  in obtaining the lowest possible borrowing cost with a Bank Qualified (BQ) issue.    FAVORABLE HISTORY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SEAMLESS FINANCING.  With recent personnel  changes at the City, a local based team of professionals dedicated to working swiftly on the issuance of the City’s  Series 2022 GO Bonds is critical to the best outcomes for the Bond financing.  It would be a great privilege to  continue to work with the City of Bozeman and to serve as Underwriter for your new fire station and improvements  to recreation facilities to include Bogert Pool, Lindley Center, and the Bozeman Swim Center.      BRIDGING THE CITY’S PAST SUCCESS TO FUTURE SUCCESS.  In summary, D.A. Davidson would be  honored to carry on our partnership with the City and its officials as we are fully vested to assist with the City’s  ongoing success as members of the community with a long‐term vision.          102

BACKGROUND:On July 22, 2020 the City Commission was presented with the “Bozeman as an Inclusive City Review of Policies.” This internal review presented 24 actions items describing how the City could continue to strive toward a more equitable and inclusive organization and community. As a part of the report City staff will be providing the City Commission with quarterly updates on the progress made on the actions outlined in the report. This is the seventh quarterly report on this topic to come before the Commission. The report includes detailed updates on completed and in progress/ongoing actions as well as a timeline and budget for each action in the report. To view previous quarterly reports visit the City’s website www.bozeman.net/equityandinclusion. Some key highlights from the report include: An update on training for all city staff, supervisors, and elected officials to receive a series of workshops on equity and inclusion. Progress update on the City's Equity & Inclusion plan and creation of the Belonging in Bozeman team of City staff to develop the plan. An update on the implementation of Body Worn Cameras. Progress on adopting best practices in hiring and recruitment. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None ALTERNATIVES:None FISCAL EFFECTS:None Attachments: 5-4-22 FINAL Inclusive City Report May 2022.pdf 160 Report compiled on: April 29, 2022 161 1 MAY 10, 2022 City of Bozeman Inclusive City Project Team Inclusive City Quarterly Report May 2022 162 2 City Manager Update In July of 2020, staff came before the City Commission with the Inclusive City report. This internal report has 24 actions describing how we can continue to strive towards a more equitable and inclusive organization and community. This is the City’s seventh quarterly report. We continue to remain dedicated to this work and we have made great progress this spring on several action items. Nineteen of the 24 actions are now complete or in progress. To view all previous reports visit our website at www.bozeman.net/equityandinclusion. This report includes a list of completed actions along with updates on newly completed items, updates on actions that are in progress, and a detailed timeline and associated budget for all actions. Words matter in this work, and it’s important to point out that many of these items may never be “complete” but will be “ongoing” efforts that the City is dedicated to incorporating as a part of routine work. This spring we delivered the first workshop in a citywide series of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion training to staff in all departments at all levels. Additional workshops are available to elected officials, directors, supervisors, and staff who are interested in deepening their understanding and application of DEI in their day-to-day work. Another accomplishment was the development of a diverse team of internal staff tasked with developing our Equity & Inclusion Plan. The “Belonging in Bozeman” Core Team of 20 staff members has representation from all city departments, different levels of leadership, and different ages, genders and racial and ethnic identities. This team will work with consultants, community groups, and internal departments to develop our community’s first Equity & Inclusion plan. The Bozeman Police Department continues to engage with the community on the implementation of Body Worn Cameras. Officers have attended Neighborhood Association meetings, met with MSU campus groups, and hosted numerous “Coffee with A Cop” events around town to answer questions. In addition, new patrol video systems and mobile data terminals will be installed in the patrol vehicles during the week of May 10. Human Resources has made progress in adopting best practices in recruitment and hiring, including changes to application procedures, minimum requirements, and outreach to reach new audiences with job listings. Lastly, in April the City of Bozeman was established as a City for CEDAW (The Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women). The resolution formalized the City’s prioritization of diversity, equity & inclusion while committing to data collection, reporting, transparency, and action in all of our equity & inclusion work with special emphasis on the CEDAW priority areas of community safety, health and well-being, and economic security. In the simplest terms, our goal is to ensure that every resident, visitor, and City of Bozeman employee feels welcomed and valued, and can thrive no matter their race, identity, or life circumstance. – Jeff Mihelich 163 3 Completed Actions For further detail on completed actions please review previous reports on our website at www.bozeman.net/equityandinclusion City Manager Recommendations 1. Provide a quarterly progress report to the City Commission and interested stakeholders The next report will be delivered in August 2022. 4. Sponsor a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summit with community partners such as Montana State University, HRDC, and Montana Racial Equity Project The Community Roundtable on Equity & Inclusion was hosted in partnership with the Montana State University Office of Diversity & Inclusion, Montana Racial Equity Project, Bozeman School District, and Bozeman Health. The 2.5 hour virtual event took place on Monday, October 25th and was attended by over 120 community members and leaders of organizations addressing our community’s most pressing needs. The planning committee took steps to create a welcoming and inclusive space by co-creating and delivering a land acknowledgement, establishing group agreements for participation in discussion, and providing language access for Spanish speakers through live interpretation, and accommodating the needs of people with low or no vision or hearing. The event covered the data with a presentation of equity indicators, made space for the voices of three local storytellers who shared their lived experiences, and sparked discussion among attendees about how we can all contribute to closing the gaps in our community. Out of these facilitated discussions, we gathered input, listened to people’s experiences, and exchanged contact information. We are excited to maintain momentum, strengthen existing relationships, and build new ones as we take the next steps together. The event closed by asking participants to commit to taking action in their organizations or personal lives through continued learning about inequity and injustice, contributing to the work being done by local organizations to correct inequities, and participate in the City of Bozeman’s upcoming efforts to develop a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion plan. Participants were directed to the city’s website to stay informed and engaged as we lay the groundwork for a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion plan in the coming year. 6. Become a member of the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) The City of Bozeman was accepted into GARE in November 2020. Bozeman is now the first organization from Montana to be a part of GARE! As a part of the City’s membership there are opportunities to learn from leaders in the space as well as share successes. Several staff have already completed the GARE Foundations training course “Advancing Racial Equity: The Role of Government” and are utilizing the network to ensure the City’s actions are in line with best practices. 164 4 Overall Diversity for the Organization 1. Make diversity a formal and high priority for the organization Since the creation of the Inclusive City report in 2020 the City of Bozeman has made significant commitments to diversity as an organization through budget allocations and progress on policy change and new projects. It remains an explicit priority at the executive and elected level through the City Manager’s office, the City Commission Strategic Priorities, and through the creation of Economic Vitality Board. Foundational DEI training was offered to all city staff in spring 2022 and additional workshops are scheduled through summer 2022. The employee performance appraisal system is currently being reviewed to ensure consistency and non-discrimination. On April 5, 2022 the City of Bozeman City Commission formally adopted a resolution establishing the City of Bozeman as a City for CEDAW (The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women). Resolution 5384 formalized the City’s prioritization of diversity, equity & inclusion while committing to data collection, reporting, transparency, and action in the CEDAW priority areas of community safety, health and well-being, and economic security. Diversity, Inclusion and interaction with Minorities – Bozeman Police Department 2. Augment existing policies and update to “Bias-free Policing” The Bozeman Police Department has reviewed its existing policies against the model policy of “Bias-Free Policing” and updated the department’s existing policies where necessary to be in line with this national best practice (See Appendix A.) The final policy has now replaced the prior policy and staff have completed a training program which highlighted the changes and the key points. Use of Force – Bozeman Police Department 1. Policy Changes The Bozeman Police Department has made revisions to the current policy which includes providing additional policy direction concerning de-escalation and use of force. The goal of the updates is to address community concerns and provide clarity for officers. As a result, a new and updated “Use of Force” policy (see Appendix B) has been finalized and approved. The updated policy has been implemented and staff have completed a training program to familiarize them with the changes. Citizen Appeal Process – Bozeman Police Department 1. Create a stand-alone citizen complaint policy. As of this quarter (Spring 2022), the “complaint form” that will begin each complaint process has been finalized and is now available on the Bozeman Police Department website. The overall citizen complaint policy has now also been completed and will be included when the Police Department begins publically publishing all policies. 165 5 2. Clearly distinguish inquiries from complaints After distinguishing inquiries from complaints, Bozeman Police Department staff began the lengthy process of formulating workflow stemming from each category, which has now also been completed. The workflow clearly separates and defines “inquiries,” “minor complaints,” and “major complaints.” After that, it distinguishes which major complaints will require an administrative investigation and which will require an external investigation. 166 6 In Progress Actions City Manager Recommendations 2. Identify anti-discrimination, implicit bias and systemic racism training for elected officials and department heads. The City has entered into a contract with The Equity Project to deliver a series of four workshops that all city staff were encouraged to attend. Workshop 1 - Foundations of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was made available through five 2-hour sessions that took place during late March, early April, 2022. Over 180 staff across all departments attended Workshop 1, which covered shared language and terminology, concepts around inclusion at the group, organizational, and community level, and identifying and understanding barriers to equity in participants’ lived and professional experiences. Workshops 2 – 4 which will build on the basic foundations and are available for all elected officials, directors and supervisors, Belonging in Bozeman team members, and any additional staff wishing to grow their understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion. The workshops are scheduled through July 2022. 5. Accelerate the implementation of body worn cameras for the Bozeman Police Department. Community engagement efforts are underway to answer questions, share information and engage in conversation with Bozeman residents about the implementation and use of Body Worn Cameras. Officers will continue to engage with groups across the community and on the Engage Bozeman Body Worn Cameras page through the month of May. In addition, new patrol video systems and mobile data terminals will be installed in the patrol vehicles during the week of May 10. These new systems are part of the Getac Video Systems package the City of Bozeman has selected for our body worn camera program. These installations represent a major step toward being able to issue the body worn cameras for use by Bozeman Police Department officers. 3. Develop a City Equity and Inclusion Plan to engage stakeholders and identify gaps community wide and to implement policies that help all persons in Bozeman thrive regardless of economic, racial, cultural, or gender identity. The Belonging in Bozeman team was developed through a recruitment and application process that resulted in a diverse team of 20 City staff. All City departments are represented on this team with individuals from varying levels of leadership, work areas, ages, racial, ethnic, and gender identities. The Belonging in Bozeman team will guide and conduct the Equity & Inclusion planning process. This team will meet regularly to work on developing and implementing community engagement throughout the planning process and help shape data-informed recommendations for practices, policies, and programs to ensure the City is a welcoming and inclusive place to work for its employees and delivers services equitably to its residents. We will engage with external experts, partner organizations, and local community groups throughout the 18-month process. 167 7 Anti-discrimination 1. Implement additional training for all city staff. As mentioned above under City Manager’s Recommendation Action 2, the City has entered into a contract with The Equity Project to deliver a series of four workshops. Workshop 1 - Foundations of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was made available through five 2-hour sessions that took place during late March, early April, 2022. Over 180 staff attended Workshop 1, which covered shared language and terminology, concepts around inclusion at the group, organizational, and community level, and identifying and understanding barriers to equity in participants’ lived and professional experiences. Workshops 2 – 4 which will build on the basic foundations and are available for all elected officials, directors and supervisors, Belonging in Bozeman team members, and any additional staff wishing to grow their understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion. The workshops are scheduled through July 2022. In June of 2021, the City Commission intentionally earmarked approximately $61,000 for the Bozeman Police Department to use to increase training in the areas of implicit bias and de-escalation. The Bozeman Police Department utilized those funds to purchase a virtual reality training simulator. Rather than spending the funds on one-time training, the purchase of this system will allow the department to conduct ongoing training on these issues. In addition, the system will be used to offer training to other City employees, train new officers on a wide variety of topics, and during events such as the Citizen’s Police Academy. Training Date Completed Length # Staff Trained Comments Workplace Diversity Started December 2020, Ongoing 1 hour 98.2% of all employees Cultural diversity can strengthen an organization’s values and enhance community awareness. Due to our country’s rapid growth and ever- changing diverse populations, organizations are realizing strength in the marketplace is linked to their ability to attract a culturally diverse workforce. Unfortunately, discrimination still occurs on many levels. The goals of this program are to promote awareness and encourage acceptance, describe strategies to create a positive and accepting work environment, and to highlight the steps to take should discrimination occur in the workplace. GARE Foundations Advancing Racial Equity: The Role of Government Started December 2020, Ongoing 6 hours 7 This course provides an introduction to the role, responsibilities and opportunities for government to advance racial equity. Participants gain awareness of the history of race and of implicit and explicit bias and individual, institutional, and structural racism and how it impacts the workplace. The 168 8 course also focuses on normalizing racial equity as a core value with clear definitions of key terminology, operationalizing racial equity via new policies and institutional practices, and organizing, both internally and in partnership with other institutions and the community. Participants also become skilled at identifying and addressing institutional and structural racism. 3. Review employee performance appraisal system The City’s Human Resources department is working with managers, supervisors and represented employee groups to seek input on a new approach to performance evaluation. The new approach will have an emphasis on coaching and development and will aim to facilitate timely, reliable and valuable feedback for all employees. Once input has been received by staff the program will be reviewed and approved by City Management before being launched with employees in the “non-represented” category and MFPE union. 4. Review best practice recommendations, including the THRIVE index and the Municipal Equality index City staff had initial discussions on the City’s current scores in the THRIVE index (Appendix C) and the Municipal Equality Index (Appendix D.) Based on the City’s scores from 2019, the team has identified several key areas where additional progress can be made: 1. THRIVE Index: • The City of Bozeman signed into effect a policy to provide paid parental leave of up to eight weeks for City employees. 2. Municipal Equality Index: • One of the areas for improvement is the designation of a LGBTQ Liaison to the City Executive (5 points). We are proud to elevate a staff member who is interested in stepping into this role to help evaluate city policies and services through an LGBTQ lens and bring awareness to the positive, negative, or unintended impacts on LGBTQ people. This position is also known to be a friendly ear to constituents who want to bring LGBTQ-related issues to the city government but are fearful they might be dismissed or misunderstood. 6. Evaluate Diversity and Inclusion on Advisory Boards The City Commission recently took action to consolidate many of the City’s Citizen Advisory Boards. As a part of the consolidation process the City Commission prioritized diversity, equity and inclusion in the new structure. At the direction of the Commission the City developed a voluntary survey to gather baseline information from the existing Citizen Advisory Board members. Because the survey is voluntary it is not precise but provides an important touchpoint for elected officials and leaders to understand the demographic makeup of advisory 169 9 boards. Per the recommendation of the City Manager this survey will be conducted every two years to track progress and will be shared on the equity indicators dashboard. The results from the data collection of the newly appointed boards show increased diversity in several important categories including age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and type of residence. A full comparison is included in Appendix E. Diversity, inclusion and interaction with minorities – Bozeman Police Department 1.

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.

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.

BACKGROUND: City staff have been working for several years to develop this project in phases. The first phase was the adoption of adjustments to policies regarding landowner-initiated annexations. The Commission did so in October 2019 by adoption of Resolution 5076. The adoption of a city-wide Extension of Services Plan (the “ESP”) is the next step to establish general policies that will form the basis for how the City would potentially annex specific groups of parcels using the city-initiated ( or “wholly surrounded”) annexation method. If the Commission adopts this ESP staff will bring to the Commission a third step: (i) a generalized discussion on the City staffs’ investigation of the infrastructure and facility conditions of the groups of properties which are wholly surrounded by the City; and (ii) City Manager recommendations on criteria for evaluating which groups of wholly surrounded property to move forward with possible annexation. Following these steps, should the Commission adopt the criteria and desire to continue moving forward, the City Commission must then determine which areas should be priorities to begin formal annexation proceedings. Only after Commission direction to commence annexation proceedings of specific groups of parcels will the City then begin the process included in Policy 1 of the ESP. This item does not annex any property nor does it begin formal annexation proceedings for any property. 203 On October 28, 2019, the Commission adopted by a vote of 3-1 the following motion: “Direct the City Manager to bring back the Extension of Services Plan for Commission consideration and possible adoption in early 2020.” After delays caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, the City Manager presented you concepts related to City-initiated annexations at a work session on November 9, 2021. Video of that work session is available on the City’s website. For additional background information on this Resolution I urge the Commission and the public to also review the video from October 28, 2019 Commission meeting. Attached to this memorandum are several documents that are important to consider as you review this memorandum. These include: Resolution 5383 adopting the ESP should you choose to do so; The Extension of Services Plan (Ex. A to Resolution 5383) should you decide to adopt the Resolution; Letter from the Gallatin City-County Health Officer dated 2/28/2020; and Map depicting groups of parcels. This memorandum will not discuss the general principles behind this item. For information on that please refer to the October 28, 2019 Commission packet. For additional information please also refer to the packet material from the Commission’s April 22, 2019 work session and the November 9, 2021 work session. The policies provided in the ESP will control all action of the City in regards to wholly-surrounded annexations. While all the policies listed in the ESP are important, I urge you to pay particular attention to certain components of the ESP, including: The section on the Determination of Adequate Public Facilities and Services; Policy 1 (Public Involvement in City Initiated Annexations); 204 Policy 3 (Existing Roads, Wells, and Septic Services); Policy 5 (Determination of Adequate Facilities and Services); Policies 7 (City Not to Establish New Funding Sources/Exception) and 8 (City Discretion to Assist in Financing Extension of Services); Policy 11 (Private Demand Pays for New Facilities); Policy 33 (Contents of Area Plan as Addendum to the ESP); and Policy 34 (Affordable Housing at the Time of Annexation). At the Commission discussion in October 2019, the City Commission requested additional information on certain topics. These items have not been discussed or directly presented to you since the October 2019 meeting. As such, I provide the specific information requested by the Commission including information on the Durston Road and West Babcock Street Improvement Annexation Areas, how the City would handle other existing payback districts upon annexation, how the extension of services will be financed, and how the City would analyze the adequacy of services and facilities. DURSTON ROAD AND WEST BABCOCK STREET IMPROVEMENT ANNEXATION AREAS: In the mid-2000s the City proposed and completed major improvements to both Durston Road and West Babcock Street. In doing so, the City financed some of the construction costs using a special improvement district (SID) for each project. After Gallatin County declined to create an extended SID that would have included unannexed land benefiting from the improvements, the City Commission created “improvement annexation areas” for properties the Commission determined, at the time, benefitted from the improvements. See Resolution 4359. Maps of the properties included in each annexation area are attached to Resolution 4359. The resolution creating these annexation areas require the property to “contribute, as a term of annexation, to the improvements, repair and/or maintenance of [the annexation areas].” Section 5 of Resolution 4359 instructs the City to “require a financial contribution from all properties within the West Babcock Street Improvement Annexation Area and the Durston Road Improvement Annexation Area for all existing residential units…” (emphasis in original). This section of the Resolution then provides a formula to determine the required financial contribution for properties within each annexation area. I am uncertain whether at the time of creation of these improvement annexation areas the City Commission determined the financial contribution 205 should apply only to landowner-initiated annexations or also to City-initiated annexations. I note at that time the City was not in the practice of initiating annexation of wholly surrounded property. Resolution 4359 does not directly speak to this issue. Section 6 of the Resolution 4359 provides a formula to be used “in addition to” the requirement in Section 5” (discussed above) and “at the time of future subdivision or development of the annexed property [].” I recognize an important consideration in implementing this Strategic Plan initiative is to minimize financial impact to properties proposed for City- initiated annexation. Therefore, I recommend the Commission establish a policy that makes it clear for City-initiated annexations only the financial contribution provided for in Section 5 of Resolution 4359 (the financial contribution at the time of annexation) not be assessed by the City at the time of annexation. I also recommend, however, that a financial contribution be required pursuant to Section 6 of Resolution 4359 if the property develops after annexation but only during the duration of the annexation areas, which are set to expire for West Babcock Street on April 1, 2024 and for Durston Road on April 1, 2025. This approach is implemented through Policy #9. OTHER PAYBACK DISTRICTS: When the City or a private developer installs public infrastructure that may benefit future development, the City may create a “payback district” (also known as a “late comers agreement”) that requires developers who connect to infrastructure installed by others to reimburse the entity that provided the initial investment. The City takes this approach to ensure initial investments in public infrastructure are sized pursuant to its facility plans which ensure the most efficient and economical development of infrastructure. After an initial investment is made in infrastructure, the City may, after giving notice to property owners, establish a “district” where in properties within the district may be required at the time of future development to reimburse either the city or the private developer for a proportionate share of the original costs. 206 The City’s public works online viewer (available at www.bozeman.net under “Maps and Data”) contains a data layer showing the location of all existing payback districts throughout the City. By clicking on the map and clicking on the Payback District item in the menu, residents can find information related to a specific payback district. Proposed Policy #9 also addresses the applicability of city-initiated annexation to properties subject to a developer or City payback district. The proposed policy indicates the City will not require property owners to contribute financially at the time of a City-initiated annexation; however, the City may require the property owner to do so at the time of future development or connection to the facilities which are the subject to the payback agreement. I believe this approach is consistent with the overall approach to this Strategic Plan initiative and is consistent with our recommendation on the Durston and Babcock improvement annexation areas discussed above. FINANCING EXTENSION OF SERVICES: In October, 2019 and again last November, City Commissioners asked questions regarding the financial impacts of extending city water and sewer services pursuant to a City-initiated annexation. For properties that have adequate services and facilities at the time of annexation financing of the extension of services may not be necessary. Later, if service extensions or connections are needed, the costs of the connections/extensions could be funded with a combination of: property owner payments, loan/grant programs, Special Improvement Districts, or a City utility connection fee. Staff recognizes the City does not currently have a fee program to cover the costs of installation of a local service line or local main within the City’s utility rates and charges, but these types of charges can be found in other systems around Montana and country. The City would need to develop the criteria for these fees so that they complied with state law and the City’s existing rates and charges. Staff are not recommending the City finance the costs of all service lines or local mains throughout town; rather, staff would be looking towards a fee that could be used in the special cases where it was needed, based primarily on immediate environmental concerns. 207 In 2020, the Gallatin City-County Health Department (GCCHD) informed the City the GCCHD may have grant funding to assist property owners in connecting to centralized sewer systems. (See attached letter from Matt Kelley, former GCCHD Health Officer, dated 2/28/20.) Mr. Kelley indicated the GCCHD is working with the Human Resources Development Council (HRDC) on establishing criteria and administration of the program. This is a potential source of financial assistance for property owners needing to connect to the City’s wastewater or water distribution systems. If systems are not adequate and the City wishes to pursue annexation, the infrastructure needs to be planned in a Capital Improvement Plan and presented to the property owners for approval at the time of annexation. Upon completion of a Capital Improvement Plan (including estimated costs), the City should also present financing options and tools. The financing tools will likely consist of a combination of the same possible sources: property owner payments, loan/grant programs, Special Improvement Districts, or a City utility connection fee. Please reference proposed Policy 1.d. In the past, the HRDC has indicated a willingness to assist property owners in planning for the costs of utility connections. They have offered to play a role by attending outreach meetings described in Policy #1. DETERMINATION OF ADEQUACY OF FACILITIES AND SERVICES During the Commission discussion on October 28, 2019 and again last November, the Commission asked questions regarding how the City would determine, in an Area Plan, whether facilities and services existing for an area were adequate at the time of annexation. The purpose of a determination of adequacy is to ensure that residents or businesses of an area proposed for annexation will, upon annexation, have available to them adequate services to continue to operate their property as they had prior to annexation. Several policies have been proposed to address this issue. Based on Commission’s questions and comments (and those from the public) in October, 2019, staff included a section in the Extension of Services Plan to provide basic principles for how the City will make a determination of adequacy at the time the Commission directs the City Manager to commence annexation procedures. As previously noted, the Area Plan will be the document that details adequacy of all required services. I want to 208 emphasize the general principles included in the Extension of Services Plan are intended to be guiding principles rather than direct metrics. I suggest this approach as the circumstances on the ground in each of the parcel groups may vary widely and adopting specific metrics at this time may prevent flexibility in the City’s approach. For example, staff recognize many properties that are wholly surrounded by the City have individual septic tanks as their primary source of wastewater treatment. Staff recognize the community desires to find solutions that are economically feasible to reducing the number of on-site wastewater facilities especially as those facilities age. (See letter from Matt Kelley from 2/28/20, attached). As such, staff propose several guiding principles related to how the City would determine, for each area, whether onsite wastewater treatment systems are adequate. Due to the variety of circumstances with wholly surrounded properties staff recommend, as a base policy, the City may assume onsite wastewater treatment systems to be adequate absent direct evidence such a system is failing. The City may also consider factors such as the age of the septic system. In 2019, the Commission also inquired as to the applicability of State regulations regarding mandatory connection to public sewer systems if a property is within 200 feet of a sewer main. See 17.36.914(6), Admin. R. Mont. As such, staff includes at the last sentence in Policy #5 a statement indicating an onsite septic system may be adequate if located within 200 feet of a City wastewater main. The City would address this circumstance through development of the Area Plans. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None identified based on this step in the process. During this agenda item, staff will be available to discuss next steps and the timing for moving this Strategic Plan item forward. Property owners have inquired as to when the City may determine their property is exempt from annexation under 7-2-4503, MCA if their property is “used for agricultural, mining, smelting, refining, transportation, or any industrial or manufacturing purpose or for the purpose of maintaining or 209 operating a golf or country club, an athletic field or aircraft landing field, a cemetery, or a place for public or private outdoor entertainment or any purpose incident thereto." As discussed during the October 28, 2019 meeting, I recommend the analysis of whether property is exempt from annexation under Montana law occur at the time the Commission directs us to further investigate the efficacy of annexation of a specific group of parcels. ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS:The Extension of Services Plan, if adopted, will generate additional work for staff, including time to develop criteria, completing the general analysis of all the areas, estimating the costs to prepare areas for annexation, public notice requirements and other costs associated with bringing areas into the City. Taxes and other fees or assessments or costs for improving infrastructure associated with City-initiated annexation will be identified later on a case-by- case basis through an Area Plan.

The Plan serves the following objectives: • Ensure the efficient use of public infrastructure through compact, orderly, safe, and efficient growth; • Meet Montana statutory requirements for the extension of services plan and report for the annexation of lands into the City; • Provide policies for the extension of municipal services when the City initiates annexation of land including identifying methods of financing and extending municipal services and the party or parties responsible therefore; and • Provide a framework, in concert with the City’s adopted Strategic Plan, and other plans of the City including, among others, the City of Bozeman’s Growth Policy (Community Plan), the Wastewater Collection Facilities Plan, the Water Facility Plan, the Integrated Water Resources Plan, the Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Master Plan, the Parks, Recreation and Active Transportation Plan (PRAT), the City’s Stormwater Facilities Plan, and its Fire and EMS plans, the Bozeman Climate Plan, its Drought Management Plan, the City’s Communi5ty Engagement Initiative, as well as the City’s Economic Development Plan. This Plan incorporates all currently adopted and any future adopted City plans for City infrastructure and services. In addition, this Plan provides a general description of the procedures and requirements for City initiated annexation of properties. As the City moves to annex specific parcels or groups of parcels at the time of such annexation the City must adopt an area plan as an addendum to this Plan addressing the specifics of how annexed parcels will be provided services. 215 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 3 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS As required by Montana law, the City must demonstrate how services will be provided to areas the City proposes to annex. Specifically, the City must provide a plan for the extension of services. This Plan must anticipate the services needed for a minimum of five years into the future and must include the availability of water, sewer, storm drainage, solid waste disposal, streets, police protection and fire protection, among others. If the City determines it is necessary to extend streets, water, sewer, or other municipal services such as parks and recreation, lighting, tree maintenance and sidewalk/trails into an area to be annexed, an area plan must be adopted by the City Commission that, when considered in conjunction with this Plan, meets the requirements of 7-2-4731, MCA, and 7-2-4732, MCA. If the area to be annexed is currently served by adequate water, sewer and streets, and if the City determines that capital improvements are not necessary, the City must provide plans of how it intends to provide other services, mainly police and fire protection, and solid waste disposal. The location of the municipal growth area is determined by considering available undeveloped and underdeveloped lands in the context of existing municipal services and the logical extension of these services. In addition, past community growth trends, as well as existing community growth stimulants and deterrents, are taken into consideration in projecting growth area boundaries. The proposed growth area is the boundary of the City’s adopted growth policy. RELATIONSHIP TO THE BOZEMAN GROWTH POLICY AND CITY FACILITY PLANS This Plan hereby incorporates by reference the current and future Bozeman growth policy and the various adopted City facility and service plans, including those for fire, emergency services, and police, including any future updates to such plans. The growth policy and the various City facility and service plans support this Plan. The adoption and implementation of this Plan will, likewise, assist the City in achieving the goals and objectives of the growth policy and the various facility and service plans. 216 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 4 MUNICIPAL PLANNING AREA The municipal planning area is the projected service area in which municipal services can or may be extended, depending upon needs and demand. Boundaries of the municipal planning area are established based on prevailing and anticipated growth trends, with consideration given to growth stimulants as well as growth deterrents or impediments. In establishing this area, the City considers population and economic trends that affect community growth or decline. Trends are subject to fluctuation and the City’s planning area looks at the long term probable outcomes, not short term exigencies. Economic Conditions and Trends The City is the primary economic engine of Southwest Montana. The City’s population exceeds 53,000 people yet serves significantly more people each day as a regional service, education, and business hub. Rapid growth of population is a long standing trend. Federal recognition of passing the 50,000 person milestone with the 2020 census moves the City into a metropolitan community status with many impacts to the community. There were 29,477 more people in Gallatin County in 2020 than there were in 2010. During this time, the City grew by nearly 16,200 people, or 43%. The City’s growth rate has routinely exceeded that of Gallatin County as a whole over the past 20 years with annual growth rates as high as 6%. The area's population continues to grow steadily with the potential for continued growth over the next twenty years. Details of population and economic growth are available through the US Decennial Census, American Community Survey, and other state and federal agency reports. Physical Growth Trends In addition to the increase in population, the City has regular annexation activity increasing its physical size. Maps showing the location and timing of annexations are available through the City’s website. Annexations range from small annexations, such as individual properties seeking to connect to City utilities, to parcels as large as or larger than 160 acres. Annexation occurs throughout the City but occurs predominantly in the City’s northwest and southwest quadrants.. As for future annexations, the City has seen development using up the City’s undeveloped property reserve that was created in the 2000s. The City expects additional properties will seek annexation as the development potential of property with municipal services is higher than without them. Property owners seeking additional development have, historically, voluntarily approached the 217 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 5 City seeking annexation. The City does not generally extend its utility services outside of its boundaries. As new development is proposed in areas contiguous to or wholly surrounded by the City new development or redevelopment is generally required to connect to municipal water and sewer. When this occurs, utility extensions must be in accordance with City standards and annexation is generally required prior to receiving service. The location and schedule for such development is driven by private demand and cannot be predicted in detail at this time. The City’s future land use map from the Bozeman growth policy depicts areas where future urban development is expected. There exist certain influencing factors that can either stimulate or impede the physical growth of the City. In conjunction with the ability to provide services, these influencing factors must also be considered in the establishment of future service and growth area boundaries. Impediments to Growth Identified impediments to growth in and around Bozeman are water supply, access or capacity in sanitary sewers, lands of agricultural significance, large tracts of land under public ownership, soils unsuitable for development, seasonally high groundwater, and steep slopes, among others. The existence of certain types of soils renders some areas of the valley more expensive for urban development because of low bearing strength requiring additional investments for stable roads and building foundations. Although some soils may be unfavorable for development, most disadvantages can be overcome through engineering solutions and construction techniques. It should be noted that while the disadvantages of these soils can be overcome, such circumstances will likely result in added expense to the public, in providing services such as streets, sewer and water service, and storm drainage, and to the property owner, in terms of construction and engineering costs. The State of Montana owns large areas of land within and adjacent to the City. Some properties are held for research purposes for the Montana University System or are designated school trust lands. The MSU properties are primarily located on the bench in the Southeast quadrant of the municipal planning area, main campus, and adjacent research facilities along College Street. As the purpose of these properties is not for profit, the extension of infrastructure through these areas is more difficult than typically experienced on private property. The City and Montana State University work together on many infrastructure issues to enable the continued expansion of the City and university. 218 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 6 Seasonally high ground water is found frequently in the northwest and southwest quadrants. High ground water impacts the ability to accommodate on-site sewage disposal systems. Ground water levels are elevated by irrigation facilities and practices. Also, expensive construction techniques are required in many locations throughout the City area to build stable, long lasting roads. Slopes generally exceeding twenty five percent (25%) are considered a potential impediment to urban development. Development on such slopes, including buildings, roads, driveways and other improvements, can have significant impacts on existing drainage patterns, riparian vegetation, wildlife, adjacent (particularly downhill) properties, and the existing natural scenic qualities of the community. While the City is generally situated on the valley floor, instances of steep slopes occur along the Peet’s Hill ridge and in the northeast quadrant with the Story Hills and Bridger Mountain range foothills. The Gallatin Valley is at the top of its drainage system, and therefore, water supply is of high quality while limited in quantity. The City has an active program developing and protecting its water supply and the rights to use it. The City actively pursues development of water resources, conservation of water, and integrated strategies to maintain an adequate supply for its continued growth. The adopted Integrated Water Resources Plan and Drought Management Plan looks at long-term needs and trends to help maintain an adequate water supply. The City actively invests in sanitary sewer upgrades each year. Sanitary sewer upgrades are completed to expand the service area of the City, replace old and aging pipes, and to increase pipe sizes and associated capacity. The City maintains a hydraulic model to understand available capacity in the sanitary sewer system and direct capital plan investments. Some capacity limitations exist in the system that are addressed as growth demands improvements to the system. Low density, subdivisions not annexed to the City impede the logical and cost effective extensions of municipal water and sewer systems. Retrofitting such development is expensive and often opposed by residents. Avoidance of such development is therefore prudent to avoid impediments to municipal growth. The City’s growth policy promotes protection of rural lands around the perimeter of the City and limits development of these lands until the time when large projects with the ability to extend City infrastructure are ready for development. Growth Stimulants Growth stimulants are forces exerted upon a city that may cause or encourage a city to grow in a particular direction. Growth stimulants may be physical factors such as a scenic environment or a proximity to services and/or utilities. A desirous quality of life or a strong economy can also 219 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 7 stimulate the growth of a city. The physical beauty of the Gallatin Valley, Bozeman’s strong economic reputation, and its perceived quality of life has spurred substantial growth over the past 20 years. It is expected that the growth of the area will continue due to its appealing life style, strong economy, proximity to excellent recreation, and ready access to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport. Prevailing Growth Patterns Bozeman has been expanding in all directions. This includes redevelopment and intensification of existing municipal areas. Multiple large buildings have been constructed or are under construction in the Downtown and along N. 7th Avenue. Accessory Dwelling Units are being added to many lots in the core of the community. Few areas within the City remain undeveloped. The character of the surrounding areas into which the City is expanding are distinct. In order to describe the nature of these areas more easily, the following discussion divides the city into four quadrants with a center point at the intersection of Main Street and 19th Avenue. The prevailing growth patterns in the Bozeman area, and the probable growth stimulants associated therewith, follow: Northeast Projected Growth Area The area of this quadrant is generally flat and incorporates some of the original town-site area. The mix of land uses shows substantial areas of residential, institutional, and industrial users. At the outer eastern edges of this quadrant the land rises into the Story Hills and Bridger Mountain range. The East Gallatin River crosses this area as does Interstate 90. Both of these are limits on the street grid and influence the placement of water and sewer mains. Expansion of the City is expected but is likely the least expansive of any of the four quadrants due to the degree of slopes in the outer area. Growth of population and expansion of incorporated land in the area is possible. There are several unannexed wholly surrounded areas and unannexed areas that receive municipal fire service. There is potential for additional development within the wholly surrounded areas. Municipal water and sewer are in near proximity to some of the wholly surrounded areas. The City recognizes there are no overwhelming barriers that would impede the physical growth of the City during the next five years. There are known needs for expansion of water and sewer services that are described in the facility plans. 220 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 8 Southeast Projected Growth Area The area of this quadrant is generally moderately sloped and incorporates some of the original town-site area. Bozeman Creek crosses this portion of the community. A large ridge on the eastern side divides this area into two. The western area is mostly developed down to Kagy Blvd with Montana State University and Downtown being the two most notable destinations. South of Kagy Boulevard lies large open areas suitable for urban development. There are several large rural subdivisions in this area. East of the ridge is Bozeman Health’s main campus and residential areas. There is substantial land remaining for development east of the ridge. There are several suburban developments in this area primarily utilizing individual water and sewer systems. There are several wholly surrounded areas in this quadrant. These are located primarily along the Kagy Boulevard corridor. It is recognized that there are no overwhelming barriers that would impede the physical growth of the City during the next five years. There are known needs for expansion of water and sewer services which are described in the facility plans. The City is presently expanding water storage capacity at its water treatment plant which will improve water pressure to this area. Southwest Projected Growth Area The area of this quadrant is quite flat and has the fewest topographic features which might restrict expansion of the City. Large sections of this quadrant are presently outside of the City. Large university landholdings restricted extension of municipal utilities for many years. With services now made available, development is occurring along the S. 19th corridor and beginning to occur south of Huffine Lane. Areas north of Huffine Lane have been annexed and infilling since the late 1970’s. There are several small residential unannexed inholdings within this quadrant and one large existing and planned commercial area. High groundwater is prevalent in this quadrant, especially south of Huffine Lane with many small spring creeks. There are continuing agricultural operations in this area and very low density residential development scattered throughout it. The City recognizes there are no overwhelming barriers that would impede the physical growth of the City during the next five years. There are known needs for expansion of water and sewer services that are described in the facility plans. The City is presently expanding water storage capacity at its water treatment plant that will improve water pressure to this area. The City is also constructing new infrastructure that will expand sewer capacity to serve this area. 221 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 9 Northwest Projected Growth Area This quadrant has seen the greatest amount of growth over the past 15 years. Several very large annexations have been building out. The City along with private developers has invested heavily in major transportation and sewer service improvements in this area that have facilitated growth. Development in this area is primarily residential and institutional with substantial capacity for commercial development to occur. This quadrant has the greatest number of unannexed inholdings. Most of these inholdings are residential development but several have potential for substantial intensification of use. The construction of Bozeman Gallatin High School, the Sports Park, and Billing Clinic Hospital support an expectation of substantial additional growth in this area. The greatest restriction on development in this area is sewer services. The City constructed the Davis Lift Station and the Norton East Ranch Interceptor to support construction of the new high school and hospital. This construction will also open considerable capacity for additional annexation and development. 222 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 10 EXTENSION OF CITY SERVICES The City’s growth policy and its facility and service plans (along with its Strategic Plan) seek compact, orderly and efficient municipal growth. In addition, all plans support infill development as well as outward expansion. Doing so minimizes the expenditure of municipal funds and ensures such funds are used in the most efficient and rational manner. To implement the goals and objectives of the growth policy and various facility and service plans, the City develops and continually implements plans for the extension of municipal services through its capital-planning program. When extending services into annexed areas, the City must identify the services available and the manner in which the City will provide those services to the annexed area. In doing so, the City identifies those responsible for extending services and the methods of financing such extensions. Initially, because of the extensive urban development in unannexed areas within and adjacent to the City boundaries, roads and water and sewer mains are already in place through or beside many areas where annexation may occur. The facilities and services, which the City considers for extension into the future growth areas of the City, include streets, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, police protection, fire protection, and solid waste collection, among others. Generally, many of these services must be provided concurrent with annexation. In areas where services or facilities do not exist, it is generally the responsibility of a property owner developing property to construct and pay for facilities such as roads, sewer, stormwater, and water (for domestic and fire suppression). The City then will provide the services that use such facilities, such as police and fire protection, solid waste collection, and water and wastewater treatment. In areas that are currently developed, the City may, based on its growth policy and facility and service plans, and in compliance with its adopted regulations, allow developed properties to continue to use existing facilities such as on-site water wells and septic systems. The City in cooperation with property owners must generally provide services concurrently with development of the property. As such, for undeveloped areas, the City may allow a property owner to defer the development of certain facilities until future development as long as basic services such as police and fire are provided to the property. For example, if undeveloped property is annexed anticipating future development, the City may not require development of additional facilities for the property upon annexation as long as basic services can be provided at the time of annexation. 223 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 11 For developed areas, the City may authorize the use of existing facilities at the time of annexation as long as such facilities can provide adequate services. For example, if the City annexes an existing neighborhood with established streets and water and wastewater facilities, the City may, depending on the condition of the facilities, authorize the continued use of such facilities as long as the facilities are adequate to serve the property. As such, under this example, property owners may continue to use on-site septic systems and wells and roads even though roads may not have been built to current City standards and the City rarely if ever authorizes wells and septic systems for domestic services. At the time of future development or when those services have outlived their useful life or failed, these facilities must be upgraded to City standards. This remainder of this section addresses the various types of facilities and services and, in conjunction with the policies described below, the City’s plan for how each will be provided at the time of annexation. Streets The transportation network within and around the City plays a significant role in the physical development and growth of the City. This network of streets, roads and highways is designed to form a system that not only provides efficient internal circulation, but also facilitates through traffic. Since streets serve two basic functions, moving traffic and providing access to abutting lands, the City, through its adopted transportation plan, classifies each street for the specific function or combination of functions that it serves. This functional classification system forms the basis for planning, designing, constructing, maintaining and operating the street system. Street classification is also used as an equitable and practical method of allocating responsibility for street and road construction expenditures. For these reasons urban streets are generally designed and developed in a hierarchy comprised of the following types: Major Arterials A major arterial is described in the City’s adopted transportation plan. Generally, it is a road or highway with moderate to high speeds and traffic volumes. Major arterials provide access to the regional transportation network, and move traffic within the City. Access to abutting lands is limited. Minor Arterials A minor arterial is also described in the City’s adopted transportation plan. Generally, it is a road with moderate speeds designed to collect or move traffic from one major part of the City to another 224 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 12 or to move traffic to and from the major arterial system. Collector Streets A collector street is a secondary or intermediate street with moderate speeds and moderate volumes. Such streets would collect local traffic from neighborhoods and carry it to adjacent neighborhoods or transfer the traffic to the arterial system. Such streets would typically serve a neighborhood or local area. Local Streets These are minor streets intended to serve individual sites, homes, buildings or lots. Local streets either feed into collectors or provide direct access to much of the land within the City. As noted above, arterial and collector streets within Bozeman are listed according to functional classification in the City’s adopted transportation plan. The transportation plan and the street reconstruction priority ratings, prepared by the City Engineering staff, have been developed as a tool for scheduling reconstruction, overlays and preventative maintenance for public streets, excluding State and Federal highways, in the projected urban area. The City’s street system includes approximately 294 miles of streets and alleys. The transportation plan and supplemental staff analysis identify priority projects for the street systems, which, if implemented, result in a benefit to existing traffic system performance. The proposed improvements will also serve future development needs as urban development expands into the adjacent rural areas surrounding Bozeman. The transportation plan, in addition to identifying deficiencies and recommending improvements, identifies potential funding sources. The top priority projects identified in the transportation plan involve, for the most part, either arterials or collectors. All proposed developments that impact the existing or proposed street network may be subject to conditions of approval intended to mitigate impacts. It is generally the responsibility of a landowner to provide streets built to City standards, including curbs, gutters, sidewalks, boulevards, street signs, streetlights and street trees. Standards for such improvements are contained in the City of Bozeman's Unified Development Code, the City's Design Standards and Specifications Policy, and the City of Bozeman Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard Specifications. The policy section of this plan supports these requirements. The City may authorize developed areas to be served by the existing street network even though 225 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 13 such network does not meet current standards. The City levies an arterial & collector street assessment to provide for construction and maintenance of arterial and collector streets, according to the City’s adopted capital plans. Currently, the assessment is $0.006408 per square foot of property area for all properties. The assessment is limited to a maximum of 15,000 square feet for single-household residential properties, a maximum 15,000 square feet for undeveloped commercial properties, and a maximum of one quarter of the total area for properties zoned public lands and institutions. This assessment is subject to change depending on priorities for capital improvements. Street Maintenance The City maintains, sweeps, and plows most streets which have been dedicated to the public within the City, while the Montana Department of Transportation maintains and plows its highways through the City totaling approximately 23 miles of roads. The County Road Department also maintains and plows approximately nine miles and several segments of roads in the City that are under County jurisdiction as adjacent land has been annexed. However, generally, County roads will be incorporated into the City system as annexation occurs. To address maintenance of City maintained streets, the City levies a street assessment. This assessment provides for snow removal and deicing, asphalt patching and overlays, and street sweeping. Currently, the assessment is $0.028924 per square foot of property area for all properties. The assessment is limited to a maximum of 15,000 square feet for single-household residential properties, a maximum 15,000 square feet for undeveloped commercial properties, and a maximum of one quarter of the total area for properties zoned public lands and institutions. As with the arterial and collector assessment, the street maintenance assessment is subject to change depending on priorities for capital improvements. Some neighborhoods and homeowners associations elect to manage additional snow removal on their own, to achieve a higher level of service than the City can provide. In certain circumstances, the City may require or authorize such private service of local streets. In addition, there exist streets within the City that have not been dedicated to the public. The City does not generally maintain these. For streets in areas proposed for annexation, homeowners may continue to be responsible for maintenance of streets and street right-of-way for streets that have never been previously dedicated to the public. The City may consider accepting dedication and the resulting maintenance responsibilities. The manner in which this will be addressed will be discussed in an Area Plan. 226 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 14 Sanitary Sewer/Wastewater Treatment A sewerage system is a network of sewers used to collect the liquid wastes of a city for subsequent treatment. The location and capacity of main sewer lines and treatment plants are a factor in determining both the density and location of development within a community. Generally, the design of main sewer lines and plant capacity is reflective of anticipated land uses and population projections of a predetermined service area. In contrast to a pressurized water distribution system, sewage is primarily collected by a gravity flow system, wherein sewer lines are laid out in a manner as to flow continually downhill. Where grades are insufficient to provide gravity flow, pumping of the sewage becomes necessary. Adding pump stations to the system correspondingly adds expense and maintenance needs and is generally discouraged. The City Water & Sewer Division currently maintains more than 246 miles of gravity sewer mains, 4,959 manholes, and twelve lift stations. As the land area of the City expands, the collection system likewise expands. The City operates a mechanical wastewater treatment plant with secondary treatment and biological nutrient removal. The plant is located on the northwest edge of the city on Springhill Road. The treatment plant is designed to accommodate a flow of approximately 8.5 million gallons per day (mgd). A plant of this capacity is able to serve a population of approximately 66,000. The treatment plant is designed to facilitate future expansion. The plant is currently treating an average of approximately five mgd of effluent. The City’s wastewater treatment plant provides a higher degree of treatment and therefore better protection of public health and a clean environment than is provided by on-site septic systems. High groundwater infiltration and storm runoff inflow has a significant negative impact on the City's collection and treatment systems. Infiltration and inflow are extraneous waters that can enter the sewer system and thus reduce the sewage carrying capacity of the sewer, pump station and treatment systems. As the amount of infiltration and inflow is reduced through improvements to infrastructure, the ability of the plant to serve a larger population is increased. Much of the storm runoff inflow has been eliminated through the ongoing construction of underground storm drainage facilities, elimination of cross-connected stormwater catch basins and disconnection of roof drains from sanitary sewer lines. Storm drainage is being improved as the City's stormwater capital plan is implemented. The design of new sewage collection systems must meet the current requirements of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, the Montana Public Works Standard Specifications, the 227 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 15 City's Design Standards and Specifications Policy, and the City of Bozeman Modifications to the Montana Public Works Standard Specifications, and the policies for extending services described in this plan. Residential neighborhoods utilizing on-site sewage disposal systems may be found throughout the Bozeman sewer service area, both inside and outside the City limits. Over the next 15 to 20 years, many of these neighborhoods will eventually undertake the extension of City sewer mains as higher density development is desired and as on-site disposal systems outlive their useful life. The location and schedule for such improvements will be driven by private demand and cannot be predicted in detail at this time. In accordance with the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy and Modifications to the Montana Public Works Standard Specifications (MPWSS), future development projects throughout the Bozeman sewer service area must prepare detailed engineering studies to identify appropriate locations and design criteria for sewer mains and lift stations. Consideration will be given to individual development goals, as well as the long range, overall needs of the surrounding area and the sewage collection/treatment system as a whole. The City may authorize developed areas proposed for annexation to be served by existing onsite septic systems even though such systems may not be constructed to current regulatory standards. Such systems must be abandoned and the Property must connect to the City’s sanitary sewer if property redevelops or the systems fail. Storm Water Management Storm water runoff is the water flowing over the surface of the ground as a result of a rainfall or snow melt. The primary goals in the management of storm water runoff are to minimize hazards to life and property and to provide treatment of runoff before it enters streams and rivers. This is accomplished by using storm sewers, detention, and treatment systems to collect, carry, detain, and treat surface water and ultimately discharge that water to a natural water course or body of water in such a way as to prevent flooding and the resultant damage. The City’s stormwater collection system consists of a variety of infrastructure facilities that collect urban runoff and either treat stormwater on site or convey it to local waterways, such as Bozeman Creek, Bridger Creek, the East Gallatin River, and numerous small spring creeks. Currently, system components include over 107 miles of underground pipe, 3,675 inlets, 1,625 utility holes, and 629 individual discharge points spread across the City. In areas built post-1980, there are 519 surface and subsurface stormwater facilities that act as flood and water quality controls. The 228 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 16 majority of these facilities are owned and operated by property owner associations or private parties. As the land area of the City expands, this system likewise expands. As new streets are constructed, and as existing streets are improved, storm drainage infrastructure is likewise installed or improved. Those persons developing property have the responsibility to convey storm water from their property to an appropriate point of treatment and disposal. The quantity and rate of runoff from a developed piece of property should not exceed that which would occur had the property remained undeveloped. In instances where developing property cannot be drained to an appropriate point of disposal, storm water must be detained and handled on site. The City may recognize developed areas proposed for annexation may be served by existing stormwater systems even though such systems do not meet current standards. Water The City must ensure dwellings and business have access to safe, potable and palatable water for the needs of the City’s domestic, institutional, industrial and commercial consumers. The City must also ensure adequate water exists to meet firefighting needs. The City provides domestic water from the Hyalite/Sourdough Water Treatment Plant and the Lyman Spring Water System. The present supply capacity is approximately 22 million gallons per day (mgd), and the peak demand periods of late summer are approximately 9 mgd. The maximum day demand has been observed at approximately 12 mgd. Water storage tanks are used to equalize pressure throughout the 303-mile long distribution system and to provide emergency supply in case of an interruption of power, a failure of pumping equipment, or to provide water for firefighting. This system also provides the flow necessary to meet peak demands. The amount and location of stored water represents a key component of the water system's ability to deliver water for the purpose of fire suppression. The city currently utilizes four storage tanks with a total capacity of 16.6 million gallons. Under the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the City tests the water supply for a wide variety of contaminants on a regular basis. Extensive testing for microorganisms, disinfection byproducts, disinfectants, inorganic chemicals, organic chemicals, and radionuclides has shown that Bozeman's water is of the highest quality. The City’s water facility and service plan guides the extension of water mains into areas of growth as and when development occurs. The plan is based on the objective of providing adequate water flow to meet household, commercial, industrial and irrigation demands, while meeting fire 229 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 17 protection needs as well. The distribution system must be able to deliver water in sufficient quantity to all residents and businesses at all times. Ideally, a water distribution is of a grid layout with supply and storage facilities strategically located to equalize pressure during periods of heavy usage. Dead-end lines should be avoided and reduce the number of customers who would be out of water during periods of line repair. The provision of water for firefighting purposes is as important as, and as consumptive as, that required for domestic and commercial uses, and must be considered when evaluating transmission, storage and distribution facilities. For the City to provide water for domestic and commercial uses and fire protection services through the City’s water treatment and distribution system the City must continue to address its legal access to its sources of water. The City invests in securing and maintain its legal access to water guides by its Integrated Water Resources Plan and its employees make ongoing efforts to protect existing water rights and obtain new water rights. The most important priority for the City to ensure long-term availability of water is through water conservation. These efforts will continue. The City may authorize developed areas proposed for annexation to be served by the existing wells even though the use of wells does not meet current standards. Such systems must be abandoned or used solely for irrigation if property redevelops or if a property owner must connect to the City’s water system. Solid Waste Management Solid waste collection, recycling, and disposal services are provided within the City by both the City and private haulers subject to the provisions of Chapter 32 of the Bozeman Municipal Code. Refuse collected within city limits is transported to the Logan landfill located approximately 27 miles west of Bozeman. All properties within the City must use a solid waste collection service. Recycling services are also available. The City provides weekly residential pick-up of refuse, while businesses receive, if needed, multiple pick-ups each week. The City utilizes an automated side-arm loader for collection and transportation of garbage to the landfill. The City also supports recycling efforts with residential pick-up. The demand for solid waste collection is typically proportionate to the size of the community. Therefore, as the City of Bozeman accepts annexations, its solid waste service area will increase as well. The City recognizes the provisions of 7-2-4736, MCA in regards to solid waste collection services. 230 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 18 Fire Protection Fire protection is dependent upon the size and type of fire protection work force, availability of adequate water, type of equipment and the response time involved. The Bozeman Fire Department currently consists of 50 paid personnel, of which 49 are sworn uniformed fire rescue personnel and one civilian support staff. The City levies property taxes to pay for fire protection services. To provide fire protection within the city, the City must develop and maintain adequate firefighting apparatus, equipment, housing, personnel, and facilities. Mutual aid between the Bozeman Fire Department and departments outside the City, including Central Valley, Hyalite, and Fort Ellis Fire Departments, provide resources that can be requested by any of the departments if additional assistance is needed. Currently, the City of Bozeman has an insurance class rating of “2”. The department was last reevaluated in 2017 by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). ISO collects data for more than 48,000 communities and fire districts throughout the country. This data is then analyzed using a proprietary Fire Suppression Rating Schedule. This analysis then results in a Public Protection Classification score between 1 and 10 for the community, with Class 1 representing "superior property fire protection" and Class 10 indicating that an area does not meet the minimum criteria set by the ISO. Currently, hydrant locations in the City could be considered adequate in most areas. The Utilities Department and Fire Department work together to identify needs and install new fire hydrants in developed areas that are served by City owned water mains of sufficient capacity to deliver fire flows. At the time of annexation, the City determines how to provide fire protection services; in circumstances of annexation of developed properties, the City may use existing facilities to provide service. Law Enforcement Police services and public safety are vital components of the essential services the City provides to all residents and visitors to the city. The Bozeman Police Department is currently authorized for sixty seven sworn police officers, two part-time police officers, three special services security officers, two animal control officers, one crash investigator, six information specialists, one evidence technician, one digital forensic analyst, one fleet maintenance staffer and a number of 231 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 19 volunteers. The primary service area is within the city limits of Bozeman. The department also participates in shared teams that work both inside and outside the city limits such as the city-county Special Response Team, the Missouri River Drug Task Force and the Montana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The Bozeman Police Department is responsible for public safety services for all persons who live, work and play within the City. In addition to Bozeman residents, the service demands on the department are also largely influenced by Montana State University student and staff populations, as well as the county residents living outside the city limits that come to Bozeman to work, shop, dine, or recreate. The department’s service population also includes visitors that travel through or stay in Bozeman. These factors obviously affect the numbers of calls for service the department responds to. Other factors that influence the department’s workload are the number, frequency and location of criminal activity, motor vehicle crashes and general calls for assistance. As is the case with all departments within the City, the community’s current rate of growth has the largest impact on the delivery of public safety services. As the City grows both geographically and in population, it is necessary to continue to staff and resource the police department accordingly. For the annexation of property, law enforcement services are provided at the time of annexation. Parks and Recreation The City provides maintained, publically accessible, parks and trails to all residents and community members. The City’s Park and Recreation Department currently maintains 44 park spaces consisting of pocket parks, neighborhood parks, special use parks and community parks. The Department manages and maintains all associated infrastructure within these park spaces (i.e. irrigation systems, pavilions, restrooms, bridges, play structures, etc…). The Parks Division of the Department also maintains 61.7 miles of trail and path within the City for transportation and recreation. Many neighborhood parks and trails throughout the City are maintained by homeowners associations. The Department also provides a myriad of recreation and aquatic services to the public of all ages. Under the Department’s cost of service plan, cost recovery is subsidized by the City for some age groups and specific programs resulting in resident discounts. The Department services are tracked for time, equipment and materials allowing the Department to forecast future costs of potential annexations. The City generally maintains public parks and 232 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 20 trails currently in existence at time of annexation at the current standard. Recreational services would be extended to residents of newly annexed property at the current resident rate. Finally, all public park and street trees are added to the City tree inventory and maintained as a part of the City’s urban forestry management program. The Forestry Division of the Department manages and maintains over 24,000 street, park and cemetery trees. Forestry also provides and installs at least 175 trees annually in public right-of- way at a subsidized cost to the adjacent property owner. Forestry utilizes a Forestry Management Plan and Emerald Ash Borer Course of Action Plan as master plans in the urban forest management of the City. The City will maintain trees in public parks and rights-of-way at the time property is annexed. As of the date of this Plan, the City of Bozeman levies a tree maintenance assessment on properties within the City. Currently, the assessment is $0.003548 per square foot of property area for all properties. The assessment is limited to a maximum of 15,000 square feet for single-family residential properties, a maximum 15,000 square feet for undeveloped commercial properties, and a maximum of one quarter of the total area for properties zoned public lands and institutions. Residents and property owners within areas proposed for annexation must recognize assessments are subject to change on an annual basis. Other City Services In addition to the above, the City provides other facilities and services such as Library, sidewalk maintenance, weed abatement, etc. As the City annexes land, these facilities and services will be available to residents and owners of annexed property. 233 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 21 DETERMINATION OF ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES Montana law requires, at the time of annexation that certain basic services be adequate for the property being served. These services include police and fire protection, streets and street maintenance, solid waste collection and wastewater collection and treatment, and the provision of potable water. As such, this section provides a discussion on the facilities and services required to be addressed by Montana law. The City may provide these services at the time of annexation or the services may be provided by other entities. For example, the City may annex a property and, through its own services, provide police and fire protection and make its solid waste services available. The collection of solid waste may also be provided by private companies. Likewise, the City may determine land proposed for annexation is adequately served by existing on-site wastewater and water services such as septic tanks and wells. This section provides general guidance on the factors the City will consider when analyzing whether existing facilities, infrastructure, or services are adequate to provide basic services to a property proposed for annexation. The City recognizes areas proposed for annexation may have developed under different standards than are required currently in the City for new development. For example, a neighborhood may have developed when the requirement for paved streets with concrete curb and gutter and sidewalks did not exist. Likewise, a neighborhood may have developed where centralized water and wastewater collection systems were not required to be constructed or available to the property. Even though these types of neighborhoods do not meet current City development standards, (i.e. the standards required if the neighborhood were permitted today) the City may nonetheless determine these facilities such as streets and wastewater collection to be adequate as those facilities continue to serve the needs of the owners or residents of the properties. In general, adequate means sufficient for a specific need or requirement or of a quality that is acceptable. The City must determine, for each area that is proposed for annexation, whether the services necessary for a property are, at the time of annexation, sufficient to meet the needs of the residents. This analysis will be conducted in the Area Plan serving as an addendum to this Plan that must be developed for each area proposed for annexation. As such, the analysis of whether the services are sufficient to meet the needs of the residents (i.e. are adequate) will be done on a case by case basis as each area will have different infrastructure and facility needs. 234 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 22 In doing so, the City will analyze certain factors which are described herein. Streets For streets, an important consideration for the City to consider in determining whether existing streets are adequate is whether the streets, as they exist at the time of annexation, can provide legal and physical access to the property for its residents and access for mail and delivery services. In addition, another critical consideration is whether the streets can provide access for emergency vehicles for police, fire, and emergency medical response. Other considerations include whether the streets can provide access for solid waste collection. As noted above, the City may annex property even if the street is not constructed to the current standard for new development; there exist currently areas within the City that developed prior to modern standards and the City recognizes these existing areas are adequate. The City determines whether a street is adequate for these purposes and in doing so the City recognizes streets vary in their quality – from streets with deferred maintenance to newly constructed streets – and that streets of varying quality may still be adequate to serve the adjacent properties. Street maintenance The City recognizes, as noted above, at the time of annexation, the City will assume maintenance of newly annexed streets where the street and its accompanying right-of-way have been dedicated to the public. As such, if the City annexes property with a street and its right-of-way that has been dedicated to the public the City must maintain the streets providing access to the property regardless of whether the street meets current City standards. In circumstances where the street and its right-of-way has not been previously dedicated to the public the City may consider accepting a dedication at the time of annexation; if not, the owners of the street may continue to be responsible for maintenance. The manner in which maintenance responsibilities will occur after annexation will be addressed in an Area Plan. If the area proposed for annexation is currently included in a Rural Improvement District (RID) established by Gallatin County, the implications of annexation on a property owner’s RID payments (if any) will be discussed in the Area Plan. Wastewater Treatment/Sanitary Sewer Montana law recognizes domestic and commercial wastewater may be treated in several ways. 235 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 23 These methods include centralized wastewater collection and treatment systems such as provided by the City through its sanitary sewer collection system and its Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). Other systems recognized by Montana law as being adequate to treat wastewater include on-site septic systems. Currently, there are locations within the City that are served by septic systems; as such, like streets that are not built to current City standards, the City recognizes septic systems can be an adequate, although not preferred, method to treat wastewater. While the City’s preference is for a property to connect to the City’s wastewater collection and treatment system the City also recognizes the significant costs to property owners in doing so; as a result, the City may consider existing on-site septic systems as adequate to serve the needs of the property. Factors the City will consider in an Area Plan include, primarily, whether property owners have indicated to the City their septic system is failing. The City may consider other factors including the age of septic systems within an area proposed for annexation but absent direct evidence a property’s septic is failing, the City may consider existing on-site treatment systems as continuing to be adequate. The City also recognizes that it must determine, in each Area Plan, whether sufficient capacity exists in the City’s wastewater collection system and at its WRF to handle wastewater from the properties proposed for annexation should those properties decide, after annexation, to connect to the City’s system. For the purposes of determining adequacy for annexation, if a property is located within 200 feet of an existing sanitary sewer main the City may consider existing on-site wastewater treatment systems adequate regardless of other factors. Solid Waste Collection The City requires all property within the City to subscribe to solid waste collection services either through the City’s Solid Waste Division or through a private entity. Subject to the provisions of Chapter 32 of the Bozeman Municipal Code and Title 75 of the Montana Code Annotated, these services will be available to all properties proposed for annexation. Water As with wastewater collection and treatment, Montana law recognizes water for domestic and commercial uses may be provided through centralized systems or through individual on-site wells. Currently, there are locations within the City that are served by wells; as such, like 236 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 24 streets that are not built to current City standards, the City recognizes wells may be an adequate source of potable water. While the City’s preference is property connect to its centralized water system it also recognizes the significant costs to property owners in doing so; as a result, the City may consider existing on-site wells as adequate to serve the needs of the property. Factors the City will consider in an Area Plan include, primarily, whether properties proposed for annexation have physical and legal access to water and have indicated to the City the potable water system is not able to be used. Absent direct evidence a property’s well is not able to be used, the City may consider the existence of a well as adequate for the supply of potable water. Some properties proposed for annexation may currently be served by a community water supply system. Prior to annexation of these properties, the City will analyze whether such existing water systems have significant deferred maintenance or any outstanding water quality or other violations of law; if so, the City may determine such facilities are not adequate. If such facilities are determined to be in compliance with existing State requirements, the City may consider such facilities as adequate. In such a case, the City may annex such properties allowing such centralized systems to continue to operate under its existing management and oversight structure. The City also recognizes that it must determine, in each Area Plan, whether sufficient capacity exists in the City’s water treatment facilities to provide potable water to the properties proposed for annexation should those properties decide, after annexation, to connect to the City’s system. Finally, the City must also analyze whether the City’s water rights are sufficient to ensure it has the legal authority to use the water that is physically available Fire Protection As noted above, at the time of annexation, the City must determine how to provide fire protection services to areas proposed for annexation. The City will do so in the Area Plan. If property is already developed at the time of annexation, the City may determine existing facilities are adequate to provide service. As with other services, not all locations within the City have fire hydrants installed to standards new development is required to meet. Factors the City must consider in analyzing whether the City can provide adequate fire protection services include but are not limited to: (i) the availability of mutual aid from another fire protection agency; (ii) the proximity of existing hydrant systems with adequate flow and pressure; (iii) if known, the fire protection status of buildings that may exist on the property proposed for annexation (e.g., sprinkler systems); (iv) response times; and (v) physical access. Notwithstanding the above, the City may consider existing 237 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 25 facilities adequate for fire protection even if the nearest fire hydrant is further from a property than existing city development standards require. Law Enforcement Currently, the City considers its law enforcement services sufficient to serve most property proposed for annexation. The City recognizes that with significant growth in calls for service from newly annexed areas the City may need to increase its capacity to handle increased calls for service through additional officers and additional capital investments to support the work of the officers. In each Area Plan, the City must analyze at the time of annexation, whether law enforcement services are adequate to meet the demands of the properties proposed for annexation and, if not, the additional resources the City must develop at the time of or prior to annexation to adequately respond to increased calls for service. 238 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 26 POLICIES FOR CITY INITIATED ANNEXATION OF LAND AND PLAN FOR THE EXTENSION OF SERVICES The policies in this section apply to City initiated annexations including annexation of property wholly surrounded by the City. The City may adopt additional policies, amend these policies, or replace them in their entirety as the City considers the annexation of specific areas. In doing so, the City will adopt an Area Plan as an addenda to this Plan. This Plan contains general policies and plans for how the City will extend services and facilities to areas proposed for annexation and how the costs and expenses of extending such services and facilities will be borne by property owners, the City, all property owners and residents in the City, or a combination of the above. Again, area plans, in the form of addenda to this Plan, will contain supplemental provisions for the extension of services to the specific area proposed to be annexed. 1. Public Involvement in City Initiated Annexations. After the City Commission directs the City Manager to investigate the feasibility of annexing a certain area, and prior to the initiation of formal annexation proceedings, the City Manager must establish a community engagement plan including residents and owners of areas impacted by the proposed annexation. As part of the plan for engagement, the City Manager must, prior to submission to the City Commission of a resolution of intent to annex a parcel or group of parcels: a. Establish a project page on the City’s website with all pertinent information regarding the proposed annexation. b. Mail to all property owners as shown in the records of the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder and to all physical addresses within the area proposed for annexation a notice of engagement opportunities to discuss the proposal. The City Manager must conduct engagement at least one month prior to submitting a proposed resolution of intent to the City Commission. c. As a part of the engagement opportunities staff must make available the draft Area Plan with the contents required in this Plan, provide estimates of the general tax and assessment charges applicable to the properties upon annexation, and provide documentation which describes the services and facilities the City will extend and which facilities and services the City Manager proposes to determine adequate to remain until connection or development of the property. d. If the City proposes to annex property and require the construction of infrastructure at the time of annexation, the City’s area plan must identify the nature and extent of the infrastructure proposed to be constructed, the anticipated costs to property owners and to the City, and the method of financing the infrastructure. 239 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 27 e. Provide the owners and residents a description of the procedures to be used for annexation, the opportunities for the public to be involved in the process, and the estimated timeline for the annexation process. 2. Public Engagement as Protest Not Available. As protest of annexation is not available to property wholly surrounded by the City (see 7-2-4502, MCA), the City will seek the active participation and engagement of all property owners and residents in an area wholly surrounded by the City that is proposed for annexation. If the City proposes in an Area Plan to install capital improvements at the time of annexation, the City must, in the Area Plan, provide for a methodology for the property owners to vote on the capital improvements pursuant to 7-2-4733, MCA. 3. Existing Roads, Wells, and Septic Services. As a general policy, the City will allow existing services such as existing roads, stormwater, domestic and irrigation water supply, and sanitary sewer such as on-site septic, to remain servicing the property unless such facilities or services are deemed inadequate by the City. To assist in its determination, the City may consult with the Gallatin City-County Health Department or the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. 4. City to Document Condition of Existing Facilities and Services. At the time of annexation, the City must document existing facilities and services and describe the sewer and water services, roads, and other facilities and services necessary to serve the inhabitants of the annexed area. This includes analyzing existing City facility and service plans and describing, if known, the planned location of parks and trails and City utilities. The City must include this description in an area Plan addendum to this Plan containing the components described below. The addendum for a certain area, once adopted, is a supplement to this Plan. 5. Determination of Adequate Facilities and Services. At the time of annexation, based upon the description of existing services and facilities, the City must determine whether the same are adequate to provide service to the annexing land or whether the same must be improved or developed. This analysis must examine the capacities of the City’s water treatment and water reclamation facilities, sewer and water mains serving or that could serve the land, whether police and fire protection can be provided, the condition of existing roads, and stormwater facilities, the availability of solid waste, etc. The City may require new facilities to serve the annexed property or the City may determine adequate capacity is available in existing facilities to serve the land without requiring improvements or extensions of facilities and thus allow the land to continue to use existing facilities. This 240 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 28 determination will be made for each facility and service. Notwithstanding the above, if a property is located within 200 feet of an existing City sanitary sewer main, the City may, regardless of the condition of on-site wastewater treatment of such a property, consider the provision of wastewater treatment facilities to the property to be adequate based on the proximity of the wastewater main. 6. No Annexation Unless Adequate Facilities and Services Exist. The City will not annex land unless there is at the time of annexation adequate water, sewer, fire, police, solid waste, and streets to accommodate the existing demands from the land to be annexed. The City may determine existing onsite water and wastewater treatment systems are adequate to serve the property. As such, if the City initiates annexation it has determined adequate water, sewer, fire, police, solid waste, streets can be made available or already exist to serve the land to be annexed. 7. City Not to Establish New Funding Sources; Exception. Unless otherwise determined by the City Commission, the City will not establish new or special funding sources to provide facilities or services to property proposed for annexation. The City Commission may determine to establish new or special funding sources. 8. City Discretion to Assist in Financing Extension of Services. In cases where a property annexes to address wastewater or potable water supply issues, the property owner must pay for the extension of the facilities necessary to serve the property. For all annexations, upon the request of property owners, the City may assist in creating financing tools for the property owner(s). In doing so, the City may agree to assist the property owner(s) by financing the costs of improvements over years through financing tools such as special improvement districts, special purpose districts, payback districts (late-comer agreements), or location specific assessments. 9. Payback Districts/ Durston Road and West Babcock Street Improvement Annexation Areas. The City has from time to time created “payback districts” which require properties annexing into the City or connecting to certain infrastructure located within a payback district to participate in the costs of prior investments for the extension of sewer, water, or transportation infrastructure. These include payback districts established to pay the City for the City’s investments or to pay a private party for a portion of the private party’s oversizing of infrastructure. The City, recognizing the extension of services by private parties may benefit others, may create a payback district requiring, upon certain conditions, the later payment by properties connecting to sewer or water mains or roads, to the parties 241 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 29 paying the costs of such extensions of services. The City may establish criteria and policies for the creation of payback districts. Specifically, pursuant to Resolution 4359, the City Commission created the Durston Road Improvement Annexation Area and the West Babcock Street Improvement Annexation Area. At the time of a City-initiated annexation, for properties located within the Durston Road and West Babcock Annexation Areas because the City is the beneficiary of the payback the City will not require property owners to pay the financial contribution required by Section 5 of Resolution 4359 at the time of annexation. However, pursuant to Section 6 of Resolution 4359, upon further development of any property within the Durston Road and West Babcock Street Annexation Areas, and only for such time prior to the expiration of the payback as stated in Sections 9 and 10 of Resolution 4359, financial contribution will be due at the time of further development. For payback districts where a party other than the City paid for the initial capital investment and the City consented to create a payback district and attempt to require as a condition of future development latecomers within a payback district pay the original land developer, the City will not require property owners to contribute financially to the payback at the time of a City-initiated annexation but may do so upon further development of the property or connection to services subject to the payback agreement. If paybacks are required the City must address the methodology in the Area Plan. 10. City Not to Extend Sewer or Water Mains or Roads. Generally, unless otherwise noted in an Area Plan, the City will not pay for the extension of sewer or water mains or roads for the annexed area because the need for any such extensions will be initiated and driven by private demand and therefore cannot be predicted by the City. 11. Private Demand Pays for New Facilities. Generally, unless otherwise noted in an Area Plan, construction of any new water or sewer mains or roads will be paid for by the private party desiring development or connection to existing sewer and/or water facilities or roads. The City’s policy regarding the extension of water and sewer mains being driven by private demand requires an owner of real property developing land to pay or guarantee payment for part or all of the costs of extending capital facilities related to public health and safety, including but not limited to public roads, sewer lines, water supply lines, and storm drains. At the time of future development, facilities necessary to serve the property will be evaluated with the corresponding development application pursuant to City requirements including the City’s Unified Development Code. 242 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 30 12. City to Assume Right of Way and Maintenance of Existing Roads. The City will assume all maintenance responsibilities for public roads within an annexed area unless otherwise requested by the property owners. Property owners associations who have historically maintained roads prior to annexation may continue to maintain such roads; the City intends to conduct its basic maintenance programs of snowplowing, grading, etc. to ensure such roads are adequate for the intended uses. The Area Plan must set forth the scope of the City’s maintenance including how weeds within the right-of-way will be controlled. 13. Prediction of Location of New Development. Although the City plans for the future location of sewer and water mains, roads and other facilities, private parties seeking development or connection to City services generally initiate and drive development or connection. As such, the City cannot predict the specific timing or the exact location of new sewer and water mains, roads and other facilities. Unless otherwise noted in an Area Plan, the City does not intend to extend new sewer or water mains, roads, or other facilities into the areas to be annexed until such time as the demand of private development requires such extension. 14. City May Extend Facilities to Annexed Areas. Although the construction of new roads, sewer and water mains, and other facilities are generally initiated by private demand, in some cases the same may be initiated by the City. In cases where the City’s adopted transportation plan calls for extensions of arterial and collector streets, or the City’s Wastewater Collection Facilities Plan or Water Facilities Plan calls for construction of sewer and water mains, the City may extend such infrastructure and, at the time of future development but not at the time of annexation, require property owners within the annexed area to pay a local share of such extensions. The City may establish payback or latecomer districts or other financing methods to implement the above. 15. Consent to Annexation Required for Continued Sewer and Water Service in Areas Not Yet Annexed. Except for instances where the City must connect a property to sewer and/or water service pursuant to a regulatory requirement imposed upon the City or where the City determines to connect a property for any reason, the City may, at any time, require a property owner’s consent to annexation as a condition of continued sewer and/or water service. When the City determines to require such consent from a particular property owner, the City may notify the property owner, in writing, that the City seeks such consent, and that if such consent is not given, the City will require that the property owner discontinue receiving sewer and/or water service. If the property owner has not, within ten (10) days, made firm written arrangements to discontinue sewer and water service, then the 243 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 31 City shall be entitled to treat the property owner as having consented to annexation of the property upon expiration of such 10-day period. If the property owner consents to annexation (by failing to make arrangements to disconnect the service), then the City shall be entitled to disregard any protest that such property owner makes to a proposed annexation of his or her property. 16. City Services Available Upon Request. After annexation, parcels within annexed areas that are not currently receiving City sewer/water may connect to City services at any time by paying for the costs of connection to such services including any necessary extension of sewer or water mains or other necessary infrastructure. 17. City Commission to Determine Zoning Designation. At the time of annexation, the City will determine, based on an analysis of the City’s adopted growth policy, required legal criteria, and public comment including comment from property owners within the annexed area, the zoning that will be applicable to the annexed land. The City must follow a zone map amendment process concurrent with the annexation process so that zoning is effective simultaneously with annexation. 18. General Laws of City Applicable Upon Annexation. Upon annexation, all laws of the City become immediately applicable to the annexed properties. This includes, but is not limited to, laws related to the general health, safety, and general welfare as provided for in the Bozeman Municipal Code and to development of real property. For example, this includes laws related to land use development, animal control and licensing, building permits, business licensing, weed control, noise, fireworks, discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodation, and solid waste collection, parking, etc. 19. No Fees for Annexation Procedure. The City will not require property owners to pay application processing fees or noticing fees for annexations initiated by the City. 20. Impact Fees Applicable. Upon annexation, the payment of impact fees pursuant to Chapter 2, Article 6, Division 9 of the Bozeman Municipal Code are applicable when property is developed or connected to City water or sewer systems. Generally, impact fees are not due at annexation but may become due after annexation if a property owner seeks to connect to city sewer or water services or seek to obtain development approval including a permit that will result in construction that will generate increased demand for services. 21. Fire Protection Services. If fire protection services in the area to be annexed have been provided by a fire district organized under Title 7, chapter 33, part 21, MCA, the Area Plan 244 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 32 must include provisions for coordinating the transfer of fire protection services to the City and compensating the district, if necessary, for equipment and district expenses or describe the municipality's plans to annex to the rural fire district pursuant to 7-33-4115, MCA. 22. City Not to Require Additional Right-of-Way. As required by law, the City will annex all existing public right-of-way within or adjacent to a City initiated annexation. For City- initiated annexations, the City cannot require a landowner to provide additional right-of- way for municipal, public, or private utilities. If additional right-of-way is required to connect a property to City water or sewer services the property owner may be required to dedicate such right-of-way to the City in consideration of the City providing connection to the sewer or water service. Notwithstanding the above, in other situations, the City may request or negotiate with a landowner for the dedication of such rights-of-way. Nothing herein may be deemed a waiver of the City’s power of eminent domain. Any existing County right-of-way or easements will become City right-of-way or easements upon annexation. 23. Policies in Place at the Time of Future Development Control. Future development of annexed lands after annexation must comply with the City’s regulations and policies in effect for development of real property and the extension of services at the time of the future development. 24. City to Provide Notice to Affected Governmental Agencies. Prior to initiating formal annexation proceedings, the City will provide notice of proposed annexations to Gallatin County and to any fire district or fire service area providing service to the land proposed for annexation. 25. Benefit of City Services Available Upon Annexation. Upon annexation, the benefits available to residents of the City take effect for newly annexed residents and businesses. This includes eligibility to vote in City elections, access to recreation facilities at resident rates, access to City solid waste and recycling collections, access to City police and fire protection, etc. 26. City to Prepare Maps. Prior to initiating annexation, the City must prepare maps of the area(s) proposed to be annexed and make the same available for public viewing. 27. Improvements by Special Improvement District (SID) at Request of Affected Property Owners. If property owners making up greater than 50% of a potential Special Improvement District (SID) approach the City to construct new public infrastructure using 245 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 33 a SID, the City will schedule the proposed improvements as allowed relative to other projects in the City’s infrastructure capital improvements plan. Along with their request, property owners must submit waivers of right to protest a SID for the proposed improvements sufficient to meet the protest threshold for a SID. 28. All Property Shares in Taxation for Costs of City Services. All property within the City shares in the tax burden for services funded through property taxes. Except for tax-exempt property, all property within the City is subject to City imposed property taxes, which are used to pay for general city facilities and services such as police and other criminal justice functions, fire protection, parks and recreation, and general governmental services such as library and business licensing. When property is annexed, it becomes subject to taxation in the same manner as all other city properties and correspondingly shares in the costs of such services and the benefits of such services. 29. All Property Shares in Assessments for Costs of City Services. All property within the City shares in the assessment burden for services funded through assessments. Generally, all property within the City is subject to certain assessments such as for arterial and collector streets, street maintenance, tree maintenance, etc. Upon annexation, the property is subject to City assessments in the same manner as other city property and correspondingly shares in the costs of such services and, in return, shares in the benefits of the service. 30. Users of Utilities Pay for Services. Properties within the City connected to City sewer and water facilities and using City solid waste collection pay for the operations of such facilities and services pursuant to City adopted utility rates and impact fees. 31. Redevelopment or Connection to Services Requires Payment for Services. Where annexing property does not directly connect to city sewer or water and the properties continue to use on-site septic and/or wells, such property owners will not pay rates associated with use of the City’s sewer and/or water facilities. However, upon redevelopment or connection to the City’s utilities, property owners must pay impact fees (as applicable) and begin to pay for the operational and capital costs of the services in the same manner as all other properties in the City through the payment of water and sewer rates. 32. Area Plan as Addendum to Address Whether Extensions Are Necessary and Method of Paying Costs. At the time of a City-initiated annexation, the City must adopt an Area Plan as an addendum to this Plan describing whether roads, sewer, or water must be extended or improved and if extensions or improvements are necessary to serve the annexed property, the manner in which such extensions or improvements will be paid for. The 246 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 34 addendum must indicate whether the costs of the extension of or improvements to facilities will be borne solely by the property owner(s) and to what extent, if any, the City will contribute to the costs of the extensions. The City may determine extensions are necessary and that the City will not participate financially in the extensions. The City may, however, agree to participate financially using generally applicable funds, may create financing systems for the property owners, or a combination of any financing methods available. 33. Contents of Area Plan as an Addendum to this Plan. Prior to initiating formal annexation procedures, the City must prepare an Area Plan as an addendum to this Plan, which will supplement this Plan if adopted, and make the area plan available to the public. An Area Plan must include, at a minimum: a. Map of the boundaries of the area proposed for annexation and which shows existing streets, major trunk water mains, sewer interceptors and outfalls, and other utility lines and the proposed extension of the same, if any. b. A description of the existing services to the area including how properties are currently served for police and fire protection, solid waste collection, domestic water supply, wastewater treatment, etc. If the County, a special district, or improvement district currently provides services, the specific steps for the orderly transfer of those services, developed in consultation with the entity providing the services. c. A plan for the future extension of facilities and services to the area. If the extension of or improvements to public infrastructure is not required, the Area Plan must address how other City services will be provided to the annexed property. d. A timetable for the extension of infrastructure if the City determines the extension of infrastructure is necessary to provide adequate service to the area at the time of annexation. The City may indicate extensions of infrastructure or capital improvements are not necessary or not anticipated. e. Whether the City anticipates requiring improvements to existing infrastructure at the time of annexation to serve the property being annexed and if so, whether the City intends to participate financially in the costs of design and construction of such public infrastructure. If the City determines to not participate in the costs, whether the City will make available financing for the property owners through a special improvement or other financing district. f. A statement whether landowners within the area proposed for annexation have formally requested the creation of a special improvement or purpose district to fund the extension of sewer or water mains, streets, or stormwater infrastructure or make improvements to roads or other facilities. 247 City of Bozeman Extension of Services Plan and Report Adopted May 10, 2022 Page | 35 g. A statement regarding the capacity of the City’s water treatment and water reclamation facilities to provide service to the area at the existing density if the area is to be connected to those systems at the time of annexation. If the area to be annexed has the potential for redevelopment, the Area Plan must address the manner in which the city will require future development to participate in funding improvements to the City’s water treatment and distribution system and its wastewater collection and treatment facilities. h. A statement regarding the ability of the City’s police and fire departments to provide adequate service to the area. i. A statement regarding how the collection of solid waste will occur. j. A statement regarding whether the City’s current water rights are adequate to provide water to serve the properties should the properties be connected to the city’s potable water treatment and distribution systems. This statement may recognize the City’s ongoing efforts related to water conservation and acquiring new water rights and securing existing rights. k. The conclusion of the City whether the area proposed for annexation meets the requirements of Sections 7-2-4734 and 7-2-4735, MCA. 34. Affordable Housing at the Time of Annexation. The City’s affordable housing program, including its financial tools such as grants, are available to all city property including newly annexed property. #### END OF PLAN AND REPORT #### 248 I90 Durston Oak Baxter Main Oak Huffine College Kagy Peach Graf Bridger 19thN 7thStucky Babcock 19thS WillsonChurchS 11thDavisCottonwoodFergusonHighlandRouseWholly Surrounded Areas within City Limits This map was created by the City of Bozeman GIS Departmenton 4/21/2022 and is intended for planning purposes only.
