Discussion Items
April Finance Report
Ellie presented the April 2022 finance report, with the only expenses of the month of DBP
quarterly management fee payment ($47,500) and Soroptomist Park lawn care ($154).
Executive Director’s Report
Ellie presented the April ED Report and provided an update on the status of the parking garage
site selection. The county courthouse parking lot is leaning to be the most feasible for the
second parking garage. Conversations about the Federal Building parking lot are still ongoing
but may take longer. Commissioner Madgic suggested that the URD board write a letter to
Senator Daines to invite on a tour and discuss the topic.
FY2023 Draft Budget & Work Plan Review
Ellie presented the FY23 draft work plan and budget highlighting the DBP management fee to
be increased by 6%, including the Fire Station One project of $1.6 million, including $200,000
for alley improvements, $1 million for structuring parking site plans and bids. Ellie asked the
board for direction on the streetscape project on North Willson along the public surface parking
lot. The board said streetscape improvements should continue throughout the district and it
makes a big difference for the aesthetic of the district. The final version of the budget will be
presented and voted on at the May board meeting.
Meeting was adjourned at 1:25 pm

DURD FY23 DRAFT Budget 6
TO: Downtown URD Board
FROM: Ellie Staley
DATE: May 17, 2022
SUBJECT: FY2023 URD Budget/Work Plan Review
Attached is the FY2023 Downtown URD DRAFT budget for review and below are work plan items
that are notable for FY23. The final board approved budget will be presented at the June 14, 2022,
City Commission meeting.
DBP Management Fee $203,500
7% estimated increase over FY22. The increase is to cover inflation, increase to DBP rent (27%
annual increase) and added staffing and bookkeeping needs.
Street Furniture/Streetscape-new purchases $50,000
Several new trash and recycling bins were purchased and placed in along newly developed
streetscapes in FY22. Soroptimist Park also underwent a minor facelift with new fencing, hardscape
and replantings summer of 2022. The need in FY23 has shifted to tree and tree grate updates. There
are currently 11 trees that need to be pulled, grinded and replanted. The stumps are currently
presenting a safety hazard. Five of the trees that need to be replaced is to large of a job for the city to
complete and we looking to sign a PSA with Greenspace Landscaping at the City Commission
meeting on May 24 for the work to be completed through summer 2022. We are also looking to
purchase new benches for redeveloped sites and move into a planning stage for the next for
Soroptimist Park.
North Willson Streetscape Project $75,000
This project is intended to complete the needed streetscape along the North Willson parking lot once
Armory project was completed. This project was put on hold due to covid and lack of resources. We
would like to reserve funding to complete the work needed in FY23, just along the city-owned area
and to work with other property owners to complete the remaining areas in collaboration.
URD Grant Programs – The URD grants have been updated to reflect current code updates and can
now be completed online. Although, a substantial audit needs to be made to these to make sure they
are still relevant to the needs of downtown developments and infrastructure improvement needs. This
audit continues to be a priority in FY23. The estimated costs below are dependent on applications
received.
• Streetscape Assistance $50,000
• Life-safety Grant $30,000
• Fiber Infrastructure Grant $10,000
• Technical Assistance Grant $50,000
• Residential Incentive Program $200,000
Alley Improvements & Planning $250,000
We are underway with the North Black to Tracy Alley Improvement Project. We have hired a project
manger and a landscape design team. We have a 6 to 9-month pre-construction timeline. Civil
surveying and landscaping plans will be completed this summer and alley improvement construction
to happen spring 2023. We have rough estimates on cost and will have a clearer picture once we
complete the necessary survey and planning needed. The final design will include a combination of
7
public art, seasonal planters, pavement treatments, lighting, seating, and landscaping.
Bozeman Creek Improvements & Planning $20,000
An educational and artistic project that started in 2021, is slated to be completed in summer 2022.
The estimated $20,000 has been approved for this project and we look forward to the final piece to be
installed at city hall along the bridge and creek access point. These encumbered expenses may be
paid on FY22 or FY23, depending on construction timeline. Bozeman Creek improvements has been
a URD priority and although we do not have an additional project in the works for FY23, we’d like to
reserve some funds for future planning with our current partners and have some flexibly to support
future projects that may arise.
Wayfinding and Parking Signage Project $25,000
This ranked as a top project on the URD board prioritization exercise to expand and clarify what
amenities and parking are available. This was not completed in FY22 but will become more crucial in
FY23 as visitor numbers rise and if a parking management program is installed. The cost will be an
estimated $15,000 for fabrication and installation of signage, $10,000 for design and planning for the
project.
Fiber Infrastructure $0
Federal grants have been obtained to create a more expansive network county and city-wide. Once
this project gets underway, downtown needs will be more established and we may want to provide
support in the future.
Intersection Cable Anchor Repairs $25,000
Small cable repairs were made in FY22 and more are planned for FY23. These are ongoing and
necessary upgrades, specifically as buildings get redeveloped on those specific corners.
DBA Event Stage $0
The DBA has decided to work with a new sound and stage company offering a lower cost unit and
quality sound. It is a good relationship for now and a stage purchase could be an option in the future.
Alternative Transportation Projects $50,000
Not completed in FY22 but continues to be a priority in FY23. It’s intended to alternative
transportation projects including bike & transit connections between downtown and key destinations,
a bike share program, enhance bike and pedestrian links, enhance Black Avenue as Bozeman’s
downtown bike hub.
Workforce Housing Project – Fire Station One $1,600,000
This is an encumbered expense approved for a project with 50 units of work force housing to be sold
at 120% AMI. The $1.6 million approved for this project will be reimbursed at the certificate of
occupancy and when all of the project conditions have been met. This will likely be reimbursed after
FY23 but will be encumbered until paid or approved project changes.
City Economic Development Specialist $35,500
An estimated 7% increase from FY22 to cover inflation. This cost helps fund a portion of payroll
expenses for two City Economic Development Department Specialists. These employees will work on
a variety of tasks directly related to the downtown URD including parking and tax increment financing.
Transportation Planning $50,000
We are moving into the next phase of transportation planning and potentially short-term transportation
infrastructure improvements through FY23. This includes a focus on pedestrian safety and downtown
access along Mendenhall and Babcock. We are currently developing a scope with short- and long-
8
term attainable solutions. Field surveys are currently being performed and we hope to confirm a
professional services agreement for this work in the coming weeks and will keep the URD board
abreast of the process throughout.
Soroptimist Park Planning $25,000
During the fall 2020 semester, the URD partnered with the CATS Program to envision options for
transforming the park and they presented an array of creative ideas. The next step is to hire a
professional firm/team to further the design concepts developed.
Code Amendments $20,000
This would include planning to include more code flexibility Downtown for existing and new buildings
(departures, deviations, relaxations, etc.). As the Unified Development Code is slated to do a full
amendment process, it will be important for us to have some funding for specific downtown planning
to assistance through the city process.
Design Guidelines/Standards $25,000
It has been increasingly apparent as larger development projects expand throughout our district, that
we need to develop a set of downtown design guidelines, to create and support consistent
streetscape enhancement and provide developers with the information they need to properly expand
the efforts we have made to beautify and improve our district. We hope to begin this planning process
in FY23.
Downtown Infrastructure & Public Realm Plan $50,000
To develop plan to enhance Downtown’s identity and ensure public realm developments create a
consistent and sustainable environment, establish framework for near term infrastructure investments
that incrementally build to long term vision, provide path for private investment, while leveraging
limited resources. We would like to head into Phase 1 of this plan in FY23. The scope is currently
being reviewed.
Employee Paid Parking Permit System $20,000
Continues to be a priority as our parking needs change. This could be used to help advertise any
changes to the employee parking system, potentially off-set costs to employees for permitting or for
other general implementation costs with a focus on assisting the businesses with any changes or
concerns.
Utility Infrastructure Improvements $100,000
For utility infrastructure improvements within the URD district. Funding could be used towards poles,
pipes, cables, wires, conduits, etc. This could be part of our formalized grant program in FY23.
Structured Parking Site Plan, Bids $1,250,000
As plans for the County Courthouse site progress, we hope to move into the site plan process. We
have a preliminary estimate of $1.25 million based on the cost analysis done on the projected top
sites.
Streetscape Preliminary Engineering $50,000
To update and continue planning to extend the streetscape to side streets, Babcock, and Mendenhall.
This could also assist in the development of the design guidelines and standards project for future
downtown development assistance that will include streetscape updates.

Downtown Bozeman Partnership – ED Report
May 2022
URD Updates:
• Parking Garage Site Update: The Term Contract Team has developed initial 3-D renderings of
the County Courthouse and Health Department sites to present to the interested County
Administration. All this information was presented to us and City Economic Development Staff
on April 22 and shared with the URD board. We will keep the URD board updated on next steps
and timeline with these two county-owned sites, once appraisals are completed and the county
has reviewed the data. The ordinance amendments needed for the URD to move forward with
selling bonds is also moving forward and the city economic department is working on a timeline
for this process.
• Paid Parking Update:
o City Staff hosted five Community Engagement Sessions on Paid Parking in Downtown
Bozeman. Below is the follow-up email we received on these sessions including the
summary report, attached. We will continue to update all of you and our downtown
stakeholders and businesses on next steps and timeline regarding this issue. City Staff
will return to the City Commission in the coming weeks with another work session.
▪ You will find the summary for the sessions attached to this email. In the
appendix, we have attached the anonymized notes from each session as well.
The summary can also be found on our Engage Bozeman page. Feel free to share
the summary with anyone who is interested.
o City of Bozeman is conducting an Employee Parking Survey to collect information about
how they use the parking system. The survey takes about five minutes to complete and
all entrants who complete the survey and provide their contact information will be
eligible for a prize. Information gathered through the survey will inform design of an
employee permit program for downtown employees. Please share with anyone who you
know that works downtown.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DowntownBozemanEPPP. Please let me know if you
have any questions. The survey will close on May 31st. It will also be posted on Engage
Bozeman.
o If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mike at
mveselik@bozeman.net or at 406.946.2869.
• Alley Project: We hosted a “Meet the Team” gathering with the team and property owners on
March 30. We introduced our project manager, Susan Riggs (who was not able to attend), Troy
with Design 5 and his team, the city staff helping with permitting and coordination; Sarah
Rosenberg, Taylor Lonsdale and Candace Mastel. We had good feedback and support during
the meeting. The first step in our estimated 9-month pre-construction timeline is the survey
and civil by TD&H and Design 5. They will be conducting a full alley survey through the spring to
provide us with the design package to include; details for landscaping, utilities, signage,
photometric plan and more. In the meantime, Susan will be completing the necessary
13
application and permitting process. Concept plan: https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dba-

platforms. It will be advertised heavily over the next several weeks. The hopeful application
deadline is Monday, May 23. CLICK HERE for more info.
• DBP FY2023 Budgets/Work Plans: FY23 DRAFT budgets have been presented to the PMC for
review and will be on each of the three individual boards for initial review. Then, boards will
approve budgets at May board meetings with final DBP budget approved based on board
budget approvals. Ellie will keep all boards and committees updated on the process and details
throughout the budgeting season. URD and BID Budgets will be prsetned to the City
Commission for final approval on June 14.
• Downtown Tree Replacement: We are hoping to finalize a Professional Services Agreement for
this project by May 24. Once the Task Order is approved Greenspace Landscaping will remove
and replace five large tree stumps in the downtown core district. In 2019, eleven dead trees
along Main Street were cut with intention to remove and replace stumps within the following
year. Covid and staffing issues halted the progression of this project until now. Five stumps
require extra work than the city can provide. The stumps do present a safety hazard to
pedestrians and must be completed immediately. Work is slated to begin by end of May and
completed throughout eth summer, one tree at a time. Estimated cost is $20,000.
