Executive Summary
June 22, 2021
Bozeman City Commission:
We are pleased to present to you the Budget for Fiscal Year 2021‐2022 (FY22). This budget represents the thoughtful
work of dozens of people in developing the spending plan for our organization for the coming fiscal year. Bozeman
is a vital, growing, and changing city. The City’s total budget this year is estimated to be $158.3 million. This will
support 476.86 full‐time equivalent employees and $32.8 million in capital spending. The FY22 budget estimates an
annual increase in assessments and taxes for the typical residential property of $42.99, or $3.58 per month. This
includes mill levies, rates, assessments and other changes based on recent rate studies, growth, inflation, and
Strategic Plan objectives.
COVID, CARES ACT and American Rescue Plan
With the response to COVID‐19 the United States’ economy has fallen into a recession and in some areas is moving
into recovery. We will continue to watch all cash flow in all funds and from all sources. The City received
reimbursements from the State of Montana. These COVID‐19 local government reimbursements are through the
Governor's Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) contained in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
("CARES Act"). The majority was related to salaries that were budgeted in FY20. The money has been deposited into
the General Fund. Last November through Resolution 5230 the Commission amended the FY21 budget to disburse
these funds for small business loans, nonprofit grants and reserving some for City COIVD related projects and
expenses. This additional funding is aiding the General Fund budget for FY22.
On March 10, 2021, the House of Representatives approved a Senate‐amended version of President Biden's $1.9
trillion COVID‐19 relief package ‐ the American Rescue Plan. The package includes $350 billion in aid for state and
local governments, along with additional funding for other areas like education, rental assistance and transit. The
President signed the bill into law on March 11, 2021. The City is estimated to receive $6 million this June and $6
million next June. Specifically, eligible uses include:
Revenue replacement for the provision of government services to the extent the reduction in revenue due
the COVID‐19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent fiscal year prior to
the emergency,
Premium pay for essential workers,
Assistance to small businesses, households, and hard‐hit industries, and economic recovery, and
Investments in water, sewer and broadband infrastructure.
We have prepared the FY22 budget with use of this funding for the purposes described above. With $912k covering
lost revenues ($500k being the General Fund), $361k for COVID related expenditures, $94,000 for Broad Band,
$100k for day care facility impact fee reimbursement, and $9.8 million in water and sewer infrastructure projects.
A small amount remains to be allocated later; the City may have other impacts and needs as we move through FY22.
1
Legislative Session Impacts
The Legislative session has had a number of budgetary impacts for FY22. Changes regarding municipal judges will
require the city to create another full time elected judge position. This is an increase from our current part‐time
judge (working 75% of full time) and requiring an additional clerk for that judge. There was also legislation passed
prohibiting inclusionary zoning, taking away a funding source for the Community Housing program from cash‐in‐
lieu of affordable housing. Special District laws were restricted, which did not impact our Parks and Trails District
but could impact the Arterial & Collector District in the future. Another major legislative change regards the
implementation of marijuana sales by local governments. The legislation also added a local option tax provision for
marijuana sales. With the session so recently ended, we expect we will need to discuss and adjust to numerous
changes in the coming months.
Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan significantly informs the items Approved in the FY22 budget. Below are some of the efforts
towards the strategic plan with the Top 13 Commission Priorities highlighted (greater detail regarding strategic plan
efforts by division can be found in the Activity Detail section of this document):
1)An Engaged Community. Fostering successful collaboration with other public agencies and
building on our successes, which is being achieved through City‐County Regional Planning and
other areas such as the CATS (EPIC‐N) program with MSU. We are continuing our work to foster a
culture of civic engagement by using our adopted communication plan for the organization\ to
expand Community Outreach and community engagement.
2)An Innovative Economy. Supporting retention and growth of both the traded and local business
sectors in coordination with the Economic Development Plan that is budgeted to be updated.
Working with our urban renewal districts we are strategically investing in infrastructure as a
mechanism to encourage economic development. We are reviewing policies, Perusing Grants
and Philanthropic Funding, and will aid the Commission in developing its steps towards its
priority of Property Tax Relief.
3)A Safe, Welcoming Community. This budget includes steps towards an Inclusive City with
training and a summit. The Bozeman Public Safety Center opens in the last quarter of FY22. Body
worn cameras as planned in the recent capital plan will be integrated with the new technology
being implemented at the Bozeman Public Safety Center. Identify Options to Ban Flavored
Tobacco is being explored and a work session is planned for the Commission. All though new state
law might limit our efforts.
4)A Well‐Planned City. The Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails (PROST) Master Plan
is being updated and this work started at the end of FY21. Community Housing will be continuing
the implementation of its action plan, which will provide more Affordable Housing opportunities
along with a ballot question for this fall’s election for a standalone mill levy. We have Planning &
Land Use Initiatives with the City County Regional Planning, and Code Updates. We will continue
moving forward with our Annexation Analysis & Study with a Commission work session this
fall.
2
5) A Creative, Learning Culture. The 1% of arts has been incorporated into our Capital
Improvement Plan and we have projects that will include the 1% on the ballot for a bond question
this fall. This program provides a guaranteed funding mechanism for the acquisition of artwork for
new public facilities and civic spaces.
6) A Sustainable Environment. This Approved Budget looks at Climate Action Plan
Implementation and continues to increase the Sustainability Divisions’ budget from $255,909 in
FY20 to $612,088 in FY22. We have work sessions scheduled at the end of FY21 and into FY22 for
Sensitive Lands Protection Planning, and Wetland Preservation and Banking.
7) A High Performance Organization. We have already stated the ground work and will complete
in FY22 Advisory Board Consolidation. Throughout the organization departments are working
on collaborating and functioning as a high performing and innovative team. Staff continues to look
at its rates, fees and charges to ensure we are using equitable and sustainable sources of funding
for appropriate City services, and deliver them in a lean and efficient manner.
FY22 Recommended Budget
The City of Bozeman’s Fiscal Year 2022 budget shows increases when comparing it to FY21 the reason for this is
infrastructure spending and increases in operations and personnel costs.
Revenues
Property Taxes‐ To calculate property tax revenues, a 4% growth rate is assumed from new construction. This
is a re‐appraisal year, which makes it difficult to estimate the change in the levy and to estimate the median
home. With the increase of appraised value is also estimated but can only capture half inflation, so the
maximum number mills decreases. The total annual property tax for the estimated median home of $364,000
is estimated to be $818.36 and this will be a decrease of $14.46. This is an estimate and the value of a mill and
the maximum number of mills could shift when we get final information in August. This means the mills may
need to be adjusted in August and could change the amount of the decrease to the median home and the
median home could be different as well.
Special Assessments‐ City property owners pay annual Street maintenance, Arterial Street, Tree maintenance
and the new Parks & Trails assessments based on the square footage of the lot they
own. With the growth of the street network and other rising costs, the Street
Maintenance FY22 budget is larger; therefore, 6% is the increase in the assessment.
With the gas tax funding decreasing and inflation costs there is a 6% increase
approved for Arterial & Collector fund. For Tree Maintenance we needed an

inflationary increase of 2%. Parks & Trails with the delay of a capital project in FY21 needs a greater increase
along with the ramp up to silver level of service for a 33% increase.
Utility Rates‐ the City completed a water and sewer system rate study in FY19 and we are prepared to adopt
FY22 and FY23 rates based on the model, which adjusts both water and sewer rates for all user classes based
on costs of services. The residential customer is not seeing any change for water
and sewer rates but the other categories do see an increase ranging from 2% to 20%.
For Stormwater we are recommending a 9% increase in the Stormwater fees to keep
up with growth and construction costs. We will adopt the same rate for FY23 as well
and then we have a rate study planned to form recommendations going forward.
Expenditures
Staffing‐ Budgets for personnel expenditures include both increases in wages and benefit costs, and the
addition of some positions to our work teams. With the highly competitive job market in Bozeman, extremely
low unemployment and surrounding areas, we will need to make pay and benefit adjustments that attempt to
keep up with the wage inflation of our competitors. In order to take a strategic approach to staffing, we develop
a three‐year plan to address staffing levels across all departments in the organization. With the Bozeman Public
Safety Center opening spring 2022 we are adding at mid‐year 4 FTE and we have 4 FTE being added to Public
Works to continue our level of service as the City grows. We are recommending a total addition of 11.25 FTE.
Operating‐ Many factors have caused changes in operational budgets, which vary by fund. Growth, inflation,
capital projects, and Strategic Plan priorities have influenced increases in operating costs. For FY22, operational
costs total $48.7 million, which is an 8% increase from FY21. This increase is in many areas and throughout most
departments. The opening of the Bozeman Public Safety Center adds to the City’s operational costs. The General
fund saw an increase of $1.2million and many of these expenses are for software changes, COVID related
expense, and the Commission’s Strategic Plan and Priorities.
Capital‐ FY22 has over $32.8 million in capital expenditures, which is a 59% increase over FY21. There are major
roads funded through the Street Impact Fee Fund and Arterial Collector District
totaling $6.3 million. Water and Sewer projects total $13.3 million and this number
is larger than planned in the capital plan due to the funding from the American
Rescue Plan. Road maintenance, vehicle replacements, and building improvements
are in the plan as well. Parks will be adding a splashpad and the parking delayed in
FY21 to the Storymill Community Park.

Reserves
The General Fund reserve policy requires a minimum of 16.67% of annual revenues. With economic changes we
need to proceed with caution with other charges for services in the General fund that might be impacted if there is
a resurgence of COVID‐19. In Special Revenue and Enterprise funds, efforts have been made to maintain a
reasonable fund balance based on the operating conditions and circumstances of the fund.
Estimated FY22 Citizen Impact
It is estimated that a typical residential property owner will see taxes and assessment increases of $52.83 for the
year, or $4.40 per month. The typical resident is calculated using an average sized lot (7,500s qft), median home of
$364,000 (this is the estimated median home taxable value) and water use of 10‐HCF (would be charged tier 2):
Looking Forward
Bozeman Public Safety Center‐ The facility is slated to open May of 2022. For the FY23 budget we will have a Full
year of operations. We will need additional mills for these expenditures to operate the facility and to pay for a full
year of the positions added in FY22.
End of Special COVID Funding‐ This budget is possible and able to stay under its levy cap due to the funding provided
by the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan. Next fiscal year will need to see the return of certain regular
revenue sources and will still need additional mills levied for increases in personnel, operating and capital costs that
were absorbed by the fund balance that remained from CARES Act funding.
Budget Process‐As we look to our future, the two‐year appraisal cycle and Commission election, we will begin
working towards a Bi‐annual budget using Outcome Budgeting. Outcome Budgeting is a budget process that aligns
resources with results for a local government. The process starts with a set of outcomes that are a priority for the
agency and measurable goals, and requires agencies to make service‐level proposals that justify investment in
strategies that achieve these outcomes. The budget document and thought process would change to be organized
at the service level around the City's Priority Outcomes. Instead of starting from last year's spending and adjusting
allocations up or down, we would start with what results matter most to citizens.
Conclusion
In closing, we are thankful to the Commission, community members, and staff who participated in the many
processes that resulted in this budget. Working together, we have consistently found innovative ways to deliver

Budget Summary
Municipal budgets serve a number of important functions. In addition to laying out a spending plan for the City, and
allocating resources to meet the diverse needs of the community, Bozeman’s budget:
Is a principal policy and management tool for the City’s administration, reflecting and defining the annual
work program;
Provides a framework for the City to accomplish its vision and strategic plan; and
Reflects core City values of integrity, leadership, service, and teamwork.
This Budget Summary provides information about the City, along with information about the budget process,
revenues, expenditures, and City programs and services. It is intended to provide an accessible, transparent way of
learning about the City budget, while accurately showing how the City invests its resources.
Background
The City of Bozeman is located on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains and is the county seat of Gallatin
County, Montana. Gallatin County encompasses over 2,500 square miles, bordering Yellowstone National Park to
its south. The City encompasses an area over 18 square miles with its next‐closest municipality being the City of
Belgrade, approximately 7 miles from our outermost boundary. Bozeman is located 143 miles west of Billings and
200 miles east of Missoula. Named after one of its early settlers, John Bozeman, the town was incorporated in 1874
and declared a city in 1883 before Montana was admitted into the United States in 1889. Bozeman is home to
Montana State University – Bozeman and the Fighting Bobcats. The local newspaper is the Bozeman Daily Chronicle,
and the city is served by Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport at Gallatin Field.
Today, Bozeman is the fourth
largest city in the state and is
the principal city of the
Bozeman micropolitan area,
which consists of all of Gallatin
County. The city is named after
John M. Bozeman, founder of
the Bozeman Trail. Located in
the fastest‐growing county in
the state, Bozeman was elected
an All‐American City in 2001 by
the National Civic League.
Bozeman residents are known
as Bozeman‐ites.
The city has seen large amounts of growth in the last five years going from a population of under 40,000 to 50,000.
The population is expected to reach 51,287 in 2021. The average age is 28 and 56.9% of the population has a
Bachelor’s Degree or higher.
Continued Growth
Our community continues to see growth in all areas. We see strong building permit activity, increased traffic counts,
and congestion on city streets. According to the 2017 Census estimates, the city of Bozeman population has
increased by 25% since the 2010 Census, whereas Gallatin County, outside of Bozeman, has increased by 18.5%.

Specific Performance Measures are updated annually to compliment the City Manager’s approved budget. These
measures help communicate trends and justify additional resources needed to maintain an acceptable level of
serivce. Most charts include a “target” or “standard”, describing the overall goal or instustry norm, respectively. At
least three years of data is used to demonstrate trends in order to provide valuable context as it relates to an overall
increase or decrease over time. Current fiscal year “Approved” figures represent previously adopted estimates,
while future fiscal year “Recommended” figures represent estimates based on projected changes for the upcoming
budget cycle.
FY2022 Economic Outlook
The population of the city has been growing over the last ten years. There were 211 new, single‐family homes and
734 multi‐family residential units built in Bozeman in 2020. This growth has increased the need for City services and
infrastructure. Montana State University has seen a steady growth of enrollment over the last three years as well.
With the response to COVID‐19 the United States’ (U.S.) economy has fallen into a recession and could fall into a
depression. This economic downturn is unlike any other our economy has seen with its swift changes. For this
budget we have estimated a u‐shaped recovery.
The Consumer Price Index has grown over the last 10 years for the United States and particularly for the Western
States. For FY20 the three year average change was 1.97% while the Western State CPI‐U is showing 2.49% three
year average change.

Budget Process
The City plans for the long‐term needs of our community through a number of efforts and studies. Consultants and
staff, with numerous public hearings and advisory board meetings prior to their formal adoption by the Commission,
usually develop these documents. Once adopted, we work diligently to implement the recommendations and
changes outlined in the plans. The starting point is the Strategic Plan and then the other master plans that have
been developed for each area of concern or study. Along with these documents, the capital improvement plan is
used to budget for capital projects. The following chart outlines our process and timing for the budget:
Funding Structure
To better understand this budget document, a basic understanding of the structure, often‐used terms, and fund
types is helpful. The City’s operating expenditures are organized into the following hierarchical categories:
Activities, Departments, Divisions, and Budget Units.
Activity: Activity represents the highest level of summarization used in the City’s financial structure. This
level is primarily used for entity‐wide financial reporting and for summarization in this budget document.
Department: Department is the second level of summarization used in the City’s financial structure. This
function classification represents a grouping of related operations and programs aimed at accomplishing a
broad goal or providing a major service.
Division: Department can be further split into divisions, which are usually associated with functioning work
groups that have more limited sets of work responsibilities. Their primary purpose is organizational and
budgetary accountability.

Budget Unit: Divisions may be further subdivided into budget units. A budget unit is used to account for
a specific service performed within a division in the pursuit of individual goals and objectives. A budget
unit is aimed at accomplishing a specific service or regulatory program for which a government is
responsible.
Funds:
The activities are funded through various means that are accounted for within specific funds. The City has a
comprehensive fund plan for financial accounting in accordance with the provisions of the recommendations of the
National Council on Governmental Accounting as outlined in their publication Governmental Accounting, Auditing,
and Financial Reporting (GAAFR), which is the standard accounting guide for local governments.
Governmental funds are a group of funds that account for activities associated with the City's basic operations. This
group of funds uses a modified accrual basis of accounting and focuses on operating revenues and expenditures.
General Fund: The General Fund is used to account for all
financial resources of the City, except for those required to be
accounted for in another fund. The General Fund supports
such basic services as the Legislative Branch, Judicial Branch,
General Administration, Police, Fire, Finance, Engineering,
Recreation, and Library services. The City's General Fund is
financed heavily by property taxes, which provide nearly half
of the General Fund revenue.
Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue Funds are used to
account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other
than expendable trusts, or for major capital projects) that are
legally restricted to expenditure for specific purposes.
Debt Service Funds: Debt Service Funds are used to account
for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of,
general long‐term debt principal and interest.
Capital Project Funds: Capital Project Funds are used to
account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition
or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds).
Proprietary Fund Types
Proprietary funds are a group of funds that account for activities that are often seen in the private sector and are
operated in a similar manner as in the private sector. This group of funds uses a full accrual basis of accounting and
focuses on net income and capital maintenance.
Internal Service Funds: Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services
provided by one department to other departments on a cost‐reimbursement basis.
Enterprise Funds: Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises‐‐where the intent of the governing body is that the costs

(expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis
be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Fiduciary Fund Types
Fiduciary funds are trust and agency funds that account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee capacity
or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governmental units, or other funds. These include
expendable trust funds, non‐ expendable trust funds, pension trust funds, and agency funds.
Trust Funds: Trust Funds are used to account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee capacity.
These include (a) expendable trust funds, (b) permanent trust funds, and (c) pension trust funds. Trust
Funds are supported by donations and interest income.
Budget Policies
State statute provides the “Local Government Budget Act” in MCA 7‐6‐4001. This section of the law was adopted
by the 2001 Legislature to replace the “Municipal Budget Law” and other various sections of code that related to
city finances. See detailed Budget and Fiscal Policies in Appendix B. The law limits the amount of expenditures to
approved appropriations, requires reporting to the State after final budgets and tax levies are adopted, and provides
for a detailed preliminary and final budget adoption within the confines of the State determined property tax
assessment time‐table. The Budget must be “balanced,” and the City can use fund balance as a resource to balance
the budget. Fund balance should not be used as a long‐term approach to balancing the budget. Planned uses of
fund balances should be limited.
It is also appropriate to use fund balance when fund balances have increased beyond the reserve requirements due
to higher than anticipated revenues. In this circumstance, the use of fund balances will be used for one‐time
expenditures, not ongoing operating costs. In all circumstances, it is important to retain sufficient undesignated
fund balance for unforeseen circumstances. The City's budget encompasses both the operating budget and the
capital improvement budget. Each budget unit includes amounts appropriated for both operating expenses and
capital items
Basis of Budgeting
The basis of budgeting and accounting refers to when a transaction or related event is recognized in an agency’s
budget, or in the operating statement, both of which follow GAAP principles. All governmental funds (including the
general, special revenue, debt service and capital projects funds) use modified accrual as both the basis of budgeting
and for accounting/financial reporting. Under the modified accrual system, revenues are recognized in the
accounting period in which they become “measurable and available.” “Measurable” means the amount of the
transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Property tax is reported as a receivable and deferred revenue
when the levy is certified and as a revenue when due for collection in the subsequent year. An allowance for
estimated uncollectible taxes is included in the estimated tax needed to balance the budget.
The basis of accounting for proprietary funds is full accrual, where revenues are recognized when earned and
expenditures when they are incurred. The basis of budgeting for proprietary funds is full accrual with the exceptions
of depreciation and amortization. For capital assets and capital purchases, funds are budgeted from a perspective
of the actual cash outlay required (cash basis).

Financial and Reserve Polices
The following financial policies are established to provide direction in the fulfilling of duties and responsibilities for
the City of Bozeman. The following is a summary of the policies that have a direct impact on the budget process; a
complete listing of Fiscal Policies to be adopted with the budget are in Appendix B.
Long‐range Planning
The City needs to have the ability to anticipate future challenges in revenue and expense imbalances so that
corrective action can be taken before a crisis develops. To provide city officials with pertinent data to make decisions
for multi‐year policy direction, the Finance Director prepares revenue and expenditure forecasts. These forecasts
will identify changes in revenue and expenditures due to projected new development in the City, program changes,
collective bargaining agreements, asset replacement schedules, and capital projects coming online.
Capital Planning, and Asset Inventory and Condition Assessment
The City annually prepares its Capital Improvement Program to plan capital projects and equipment needs for a
five‐year period. The plan is created on the fund basis and reviews all capital needs greater than $10,000. The plan
can be found on the city website.
Revenue Policies
The City values a diversified mix of revenue sources to mitigate the risk of volatility. The major source of revenue
for the General Fund is property tax, which comprised 56% percent of total General Fund revenue in 2019. Since
property values are impacted by the economy and housing market, it is important to make every effort to improve
the diversity of the City’s revenue sources. Tax dollars should support essential city services that benefit and are
available to everyone in the community (such as parks, police and fire protection). For services that largely or solely
benefit individuals, the City should recover full or partial costs of service delivery through user fees.
Use of One‐time and Unpredictable Revenues ‐ One‐time revenues should be used only for one‐time
expenditures and not for ongoing expenditures. By definition, one‐time revenues cannot be relied on in future
budget years. Appropriate uses of one‐time revenues include early debt retirement, capital expenditures that
will reduce operating costs or address deferred capital needs, and special projects that will not incur ongoing
operating costs.
Expenditure Policies
Expenses should always be for City operations and strategic goals. Department heads and the Finance Department
monitor expenditures. All expenditures must comply with City laws, rules, and regulations and have proper support
and authorization.
Debt Capacity, Issuance and Management
The City shall evaluate and consider the following factors in analyzing, reviewing and recommending the issuance
of obligations before presenting a proposal to the Commission and voters as needed:
1. Purpose, feasibility and public benefit of the project
2. Impact on debt ratios generally applied by rating agencies
3. Availability of appropriate revenue stream(s)
4. Aggregate debt burden upon the City's tax base, including other entities' tax supported debt
5. Analysis of financing and funding alternatives, including available reserves from other City funds
18
Awards and Accomplishments
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented an award of
Distinguished Budget Presentation to the City of Bozeman for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
2020. The City has received this award for each budget it has prepared in the past 29 years.
In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria
as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a communications device.

FY2022 Revenues
Overall, revenues are estimated at $153 million, a $31.5 million increase or 26%, over the prior year. The large
difference is mainly due to the American Rescue Plan, growth, and the ramp up to silver level service for the Parks
and Trails District. Charges for services make up 41% of revenues, followed by taxes at 19%.
For the General Fund, taxes make up 49% of the revenue sources followed by intergovernmental revenue.

Operating Expense, Capital, Debt Service, Transfers, and Other Financing Uses. FY22 Appropriations are $158.3
million, an increase of $36.5 million or 30%. This is mainly due to the increase in capital spending of the American
Rescue Plan funding for water and sewer projects. The graph below shows the relative percentage of the FY22
budget expenditures for all funds. Operations makes up 33%, followed by Personnel at 28% and Capital at 21%.

In general, governmental agencies see their largest percentage of expenditures as personnel. With our growing
city, there is a need for more infrastructure spending. The General Fund personnel expenses are a much higher
percentage, at 64%. There are fewer capital items in the General Fund than all the funds as a whole.

Fund Summaries
The purpose of fund summaries is to capture and detail the financial condition of each City fund. A fund summary
provides information on revenues, expenditures and ending funds available. In addition, it functions as a planning
mechanism, as it allows expenditures to be matched to available revenues and/or fund balance. Fund summaries
also identify components of funds available and anticipated uses. It is important to note that sources and uses are
always balanced because a fund’s sources either are expended, become restricted, committed or assigned, or
become unrestricted (unreserved or undesignated) funds available.
City funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. By
maintaining separate funds, the City is able to comply with laws that require certain money to be spent for specific
purposes.

General Fund
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for those required to be accounted
for in another fund. The General Fund supports such basic services as the General Administration, Police, Fire,
Finance, Recreation, and Library services. Over the past ten years, the average percent increase in revenue is 5%
while expenditure change is 5%.
Revenues
The City's General Fund is financed heavily by property taxes, which provide nearly half of the General Fund
revenue. Other revenue sources include: licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services,
fines and forfeitures, interest on investments, operating transfers, and miscellaneous revenues. For the budget we
have estimated 4% growth. Other revenues are a transfer from the American Rescue Plan fund for lost revenues
from FY20, FY21, and some anticipated for FY22 (other financing sources). We are estimating the General Fund to
generate $36.3 million in total revenue, with 49% is from property taxes, 25% from the State Entitlement share,
and 11% for charges for services. The following chart shows the breakdown of esimated revenues:

This year’s General Fund budget has $38.7 Million in expenditures. Personnel expenses are the highest portion at
$24.9 million, followed by operations of $11.6 million. The capital expenditures are $1.3 million, which includes
vehicle replacements, police body cameras, and Storymill Community Center gym floor replacement. The break
down by percentage is below:
The expenditures by division show Police with 25% followed by Fire with 14%, non‐cash transfer for State share of

Fund Balance
The City‐adopted policy for General Fund Reserve is to maintain at least 16.67% of the year’s revenue in ending
fund balance. This was based on former Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) best practice. The fund
balance will slightly exceed this minimum and with the COVID‐19 economic uncertainty it would be financially
prudent to have this slightly higher reserve.

Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted
to expenditure for specific purposes. The revenue is generated in different ways; some have assessments on
properties, property taxes, charges for services, and some are funded through grants or donations. The City
currently has over 100 special revenue funds with a total of $54 million expenditures planned in FY22. Information
on the programs funded or partially funded by these Special Revenue Funds can be found in the description by
division in the Activity/Division Detail section. Highlighted in the following discussion are our Transportation special
revenue funds and some of our major program special revenue funds, followed by the financial information for all
special revenue funds.
Transportation Special Revenue funds
Street Maintenance Fund relies on assessments for revenue generation for street maintenance and reconstruction.
The City expanded the Streets program starting in FY16 to include increased maintenance. The City has seen an
increase in the quantity of streets to maintain as well. This year we are increasing the assessment by 6% again to
be able to adjust to growth and the increased costs.
The Street Maintenance fund budget includes increased amounts of pavement maintenance, capital projects, and
the addition of Streets workers. This trend will continue with the Capital Improvement Plan and the three‐year
staffing plan showing increases for further growth.

Arterial & Collector Street District Fund is a District that provides the “local share” of some projects in advance of
development. Many of the projects funded help in the Street Impact Fee program’s efforts. Due to the role Street
Impact Fees play in the expansion of our Arterial & Collector streets, the A&CD capital plan is tied to projects on the
Street Impact Fee CIP. The City intends to create a payback district to recover the “local share” once an adjacent
project is developed. The passing of the new gas tax reduced rates in FY19. We are recommending a 6% rate
increase in FY22 to keep up with construction inflation, which has shown to be double of normal inflation.
The appropriations are mainly planned from the Capital Improvement Plan and the project listing can be found in
the Capital Expenditures Summary Section.

Gas Tax Fund accounts for revenues from State gasoline taxes apportioned from the State of Montana Department
of Transportation. These go towards street maintenance projects and projects associated with the above arterial
and collector fund. The total appropriation for FY22 is $2.2 million. It is estimated that with the impacts of COVID‐
19 we will see less in Gas Tax revenue but not as dramatic as the 50% predicted last year. Due to conservative
estimates and the rate increase described in the Arterial & Collector fund, we are able to keep all projects planned
in the Capital Improvement Plan.
Street Impact Fee Fund‐ Street Impact Fees go towards capacity expanding road improvements. The appropriations
are based on the Capital Improvement Plan and total $3.9 million. Both the Capital Improvement Plan and the
project listing can be found in the Capital Expenditures Summary Section.

Parks & Trails District Fund accounts for special assessment revenues levied, received, and expended for the Parks
& Trails district. This is a new fund with the voter approval on the District that came in May 2020 for the creation
of the District for FY21. The plan, as approved by the Commission, is a five‐year ramp up to Silver level of service.
This first year the District will take on the Parks currently maintained by the Home Owner Associations and all the
City Parks including the two recent, large additions of the Sports Park and the Storymill Community Park. Normal
Parks capital is included in the budget and deferred maintenance will be added in future years as we continue the
ramp up of the District. Last year a capital item was delayed to bring the initial assessment down and our
recommendation includes the delayed capital item making the increase larger than planned.

Tree Maintenance Fund accounts for special assessment revenues levied, received, and expended for tree
maintenance provided in the public right of way. In previous years we raised the assessment by 15% to aid working
towards the Urban Forestry Management Plan. The desired reserve levels are being achieved and with basic
inflation of costs and staffing, we are recommending an inflationary increase of 2%, the same increase as last fiscal
year.
The Tree Maintenance fund budget includes operating and personnel expenditures, and no capital items are
planned.

Community Development Planning Fund is a special revenue fund that accounts for revenues and expenditures
related to community planning and zoning operations. There are two major revenue sources for the fund; mills from
the general mill levy along with planning fees. Planning fees were part of a Community Development fee study and
the Commission adopted new fees for better cost recovery. The total planned expenditures are $3.3 million.
Building Inspection Fund is supported entirely by the revenue from building fees and permits. Revenues and
expenditures are statutorily restricted to amounts that support the building safety program. Building Inspection
Fees were part of the Community Development Fee study and new fees were adopted to be more in‐line with best
practices by following the International Code Council Valuation & Fee Calculation. This fund is dependent on
construction in the City and is therefore monitored based on economic conditions. In addition, it is reported in the
quarterly report to the Commission. Total planned expenditures are $2.9 million which includes new software to
aid in the efficiency and effectiveness of the Division.

The Community Housing Fund is where our affordable housing program is accounted for. Affordable Housing is part
of our Strategic Plan and a priority for FY22. The fund receives three mills of the general mill levy as well as cash‐in‐
lieu of affordable housing for projects. Over the years, the fund built up a large fund balance where the majority of
the fund balances has been granted to affordable housing projects. The Community Affordable Housing Advisory
Board recommended 7 mills be levied to have more grant funding for FY22. With the ballot question expected this
fall for the 7 mills and with the effort to keep impacts lower to tax payers, we are recommending 5 General Fund
mills.
American Recovery Fund is where the City is tracking its funding from the American Rescue Plan. On March 10,
2021, the House of Representatives approved a Senate‐amended version of President Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID‐
19 relief package ‐ the American Rescue Plan. The package includes $350 billion in aid for state and local
governments, along with additional funding for other areas like education, rental assistance and transit. The
President signed the bill into law on March 11, 2021. The City is estimated to receive $6 million this June and $6
million next June. Specifically, eligible uses include:
• Revenue replacement for the provision of government services to the extent the reduction in revenue
due the COVID‐19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent fiscal
year prior to the emergency,
• Premium pay for essential workers,
• Assistance to small businesses, households, and hard‐hit industries, and economic recovery, and
• Investments in water, sewer and broadband infrastructure.
We have prepared the FY22 budget with use of this funding for the purposes described above and summarized in
the table below:

Debt Service Funds
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long‐
term debt principal and interest. General Obligation Bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the City and are
payable from ad valorem property taxes. Except for refunding bonds issued to achieve savings, Bozeman voters
must approve general obligation debt prior to issuance. FY21 General Obligation bonds for the Bozeman Public
Safety Center were issued with a full bond payment in FY22. Debt schedules are located at the end of the
Activity/Division Section under the Non‐Departmental.

expansion projects, supports strategic capital planning and programming efforts with City departments, and
provides analysis for judicious financial decision making.

Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are used to account for efforts that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private
business enterprises‐‐where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of
providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through
user charges. The following is a discussion of some of the major enterprise funds and ones with larger changes for
FY22, followed by all Enterprise Fund financials.
Water Fund‐ City property owners are, by and large, required to use the City’s Water treatment systems. The City
underwent a rate study in August 2019 that included water conservation rate examination, and drought rate and
reserve design. The next two years in the model calls for no changes to residential and for increases based on user
class:
With these changes, appropriate users classes will be charged based on their cost of service and the City will be able
to achieve and maintain appropriate revenue levels and reserves. Overall, the fund has maintained a healthy reserve
and improved, as well as maintained, the City’s water system.

Wastewater Fund‐ City Property owners are, by and large, required to use the City’s Sewer treatment systems. The
rates were based on a rate study adopted in August 2019. Rates vary by user class with all increases except
residential:
With these changes, appropriate users classes will be charged based on their cost of service and the City will be able
to achieve and maintain appropriate revenue levels and reserves. Overall, the fund has maintained a healthy reserve
and improved as well as maintained the City’s sewer system. The fund balance needs growth as the infrastructure
is starting to age.

Stormwater Fund‐ The City’s Stormwater fund started in 2013 and had its current rate structure set in April 2015,
rates are based on impervious area, and existing infrastructure. The rate had not changed since the 2015 restructure
until FY20. With inflation costs and growth, we are recommending a 9% rate increase.
Even with the rate increase and projected growth, the fund will remain unable to maintain a 45‐day operating
reserve and depreciation reserves to be able to replace unexpected loss of equipment.

Solid Waste Fund ‐The City’s Solid Waste Fund accounts for the garbage and recycling service provided to citizens.
Revenues are comprised of solid waste and recycling fees. Expenses are for personnel, operations and capital items.
Fund balance is sufficient for depreciation coverage and in the event we lose the use of a truck unexpectedly. A rate
study was adopted October 2019 and rates were adopted based on the study. Rates varied depending on user class
with increase focused in the commercial area.

Performance Measures
The City of Bozeman relies on a variety of data to help inform decisions across the organization. Vision Statement
7 for a High Performance Organization in the City’s strategic plan states the purpose of “utilizing key performance
and cost measures to monitor, track, and improve the planning and delivery of City programs and services, and
promote greater accountability, effectiveness and efficiency” (Strategy 7.4 – Performance Metrics). Three major
focus areas of Performance Measures are utilized to manage community and employee expectations about the
City’s capacity to deliver services.
Many systems are currently in place to collect and visualize a wide range of data internal to the organization.
Sophisticated tools such as Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) provide detailed cost
information, including time, materials, and
equipment in an effort to improve efficiencies
throughout operations such as Public Works.
Specific Performance Measures are updated
annually to compliment the City Manager’s
approved budget. These measures help
communicate trends and justify additional
resources needed to maintain an acceptable level of
serivce. Most charts include a “target” or
“standard”, describing the overall goal or instustry
norm, respectively.
Extensive effort is made each year to identify relevant metrics to support decisions throughout the City’s budget
process. At least three years of data is used to demonstrate trends in order to provide valuable context as it relates
to an overall increase or decrease over time. Current fiscal year “Approved” figures represent previously adopted
estimates, while future fiscal year “Recommended” figures represent estimates based on projected changes for the
upcoming budget cycle.
Budget metrics improve confidence in municipal management, ensuring that limited resources are focused on the
most pressing issues, including againg infrastructure and new growth.
Overall, Performance Measures
are critical to maximizing the
efficiency and effectiveness of
local government. Timely and
relevant metrics at all levels
provide a framework for
improved decision making, while
resulting in a better
understanding of the value of
services provided throughout
the community.

Major Objectives:
Protect and enhance the water quality of the East
Gallatin River
Consistently achieve compliance with all aspects
of the city’s Discharge permit (MPDES) and in
most cases be below allotted limit.
Comply with all EPA 503 Bio‐solids requirements
and regulations, minimizing unpleasant orders.
Budget Allocation
FY21 Accomplishments
Met Montana Department of Environmental
Quality discharge permit requirements. No
permit violations.
Stayed below budget performance measure in
regards to rate of cost for treatment.
Maintained an aggressive proactive preventative
vs. corrective maintenance program.
FY21 Strategic Plan
1.3c) Enhance our relationship with State and
Federal Agencies: The WRF had several projects
with MSU including Wastewater surveillance
testing for COVID‐19, Optimization of WRF biogas
system and the ongoing Wetland pilot project.
6.1a) The WRF main objective is to protect the
East Gallatin River. The Bozeman WRF discharges
a best in class product to the outflow. Because
the WRF is a biological nutrient removal facility
(BNR) no chemicals are used in the processing of
the wastewater.
7.2a) Be a “Best in Class” Employer: 10 out of 14
WRF employees are State of Montana
Wastewater Certified.
Performance Measures
FY22 Strategic Plan
6.1 Clean Water Supplies‐ The WRF has, in
preparation for their permit renewal, studied and
will continue to study the river downstream of
the WRF plant discharge. The goal of the WRF is
to understand the river so we can protect the
watershed downstream of the treatment plant.

Capital Expenditure Summary
The CIP includes any planned expenditure of $25,000 or greater, that results in the acquisition of an asset with a
useful life of 3 years or more. There is a couple of “exceptions” or “extensions” of this definition that we have found
helpful and necessary in past years:
General Planning Documents (master plans, community surveys, etc.) are NOT included in our CIP.
Specific plans that involve pre‐engineering or preliminary design of facilities are often (but not always)
included in the CIP.
Software purchases that could potentially be “software as a service”. Cloud based services are beginning
to replace our purchase of outright software and hardware. In the CIP, we have treated the software
projects as a capital outlay purchase; although a “service” type, solution may actually be chosen during the
bidding/proposal process.
State law and City charter require the City to prepare the CIP. State Law requires the City to maintain a Capital
Improvement Plan for our Development Impact Fee programs. Under Montana Code Annotated (MCA), this Capital
Improvement Plan provides the schedules and cost projections required under MCA §7‐6‐1602(2)(k)(i‐iv). In Article
5.06 of the adopted City Charter, the City Manager is responsible for preparing and submitting a multi‐year capital
program to the City Commission no later than December 15 for the ensuing fiscal year.
This five‐year plan includes long‐range plans for our current facilities while keeping in mind level of service
standards. In a community with relatively high cost of living, the ability of citizens to afford the needed utility rate,
fee, and assessment levels is of concern. At the same time, the City strives to keep existing facilities properly
maintained — and not pass deferred maintenance costs and problems on to future generations. The staff have
taken a lot of time and care in preparing this document. The efforts toward our Strategic Plan when developing our
plan.
Once adopted, the Capital Improvements Plan becomes the basis of the City Manager’s Approved Budget for FY22.
The City will continue to invest in capital infrastructure in order to keep Bozeman as a vibrant and active city. We
are a resilient, enterprising, and creative community. The 2022‐ 2026 CIP is a plan to provide efficient and effective
services, and to achieve the Commission’s vision and priorities set out in the Strategic Plan for the City of Bozeman.
The Plan can be found on the City website: CIP FY22‐FY26.
Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan helps inform the planning and decision process for the CIP. Below highlights some of the items
included in the plan:
1) An Engaged Community. We are continuing our work to foster a culture of civic engagement
by using our newly adopted communication plan. Several of the projects will include an element
of Community Outreach specifically:
The potential for a Westside Recreation Center and Library.
WC02 Meter Software Subscription, $36,000 annually is for the Dropcountr water use
portal. The Dropcountr water use portal alerts customers to water leaks and inefficient
usage, provides customers with the ability to track their water use, and compares use
to efficient neighbors and unique efficiency goals specific to each customer’s property.
This project relates to Strategic Plan priorities 1.1 outreach, 1.2 community
engagement.
157
2) An Innovative Economy. Supporting retention and growth of both the traded and local business
sectors is addressed with the plans for our expanded infrastructure. In addition, annual
amounts for the purchase of fiber conduit and vaults, GF275, this is an investment into
broadband infrastructure taking a step towards 2.2 a Identify Commercial/Industrial
Infrastructure needs.
3) A Safe, Welcoming Community. There are several projects on the horizon to continue the City
being a safe welcoming community:
With the plan to relocate Fire Stations 2 and strategizing Fire Station 4 to address 3.1 c
implement the Fire Station Location Plan.
3.4 Active Recreation is included throughout the General fund plan and the Parks &
Trails District Fund with many projects that encourage and promote active recreation
such as the proposed Westside Recreation and Library, GF355, splashpads and
playground updates.
4) A Well‐Planned City. We have developed a Comprehensive Parks Maintenance and Facilities
Funding Program and with the recent voter approval of the Parks & Trails District we are
continuing in implementing the District. Many of the funds work together towards the well‐
planned City vision:
SIF150 15th (Patrick to Tschache) aids in the efforts for Affordable Housing, specifically,
the Arrowleaf and Perennial Parks mixed‐use project by GMD Development.
All the road projects funded by the Street Impact Fee fund will include bike lanes and
aid in our efforts towards the Strategic Plan 4.5 a Enhance Non‐motorized
Transportation. City staff calculated the proportion of recent street corridor projects
that was used to improve the bike and pedestrian facilities on those projects ranged
from 20%‐30% of total project costs indicating a significant investment in non‐
motorized facilities. In addition, every year the Street Maintenance fund has allocation
of $50,000 for bike path improvements (STR20) and some additional funding have been
included in STR116 of $25,000 for Bike paths and STR117 of $25,000.
The Wastewater fund and Wastewater Impact fund have many projects that achieve
4.3 b Increase Capacity of Sewer Pipes to Accommodate Development Projects.
5) A Creative, Learning Culture. Developing an ordinance to create a program for all public
buildings built to have 1% of the construction costs to be set aside for art in that public space.
This type of program provides a guaranteed funding mechanism for the acquisition of artwork
for new public facilities and civic spaces. The new item this year is added to FY22 LIB28 Library
Expansion, which is an expansion of the current facility to meet growing program needs, in
addition to expanded meeting room space, and covered parking for the bookmobile addressing
5.1.a Library Expansion Planning ‐ Ensure library services and facilities meet the demands of
the city. This is also addressed with GF355 with the Westside Recreation and Library Facility.
6) A Sustainable Environment. This Approved Budget looks at Climate Action with GF245 has
Energy Saving projects for City Hall and GF353 plans for Electrical Vehicle stations at the new
Bozeman Public Safety Center planned in the General Fund. Efforts towards clean water and
watershed management are included in the water and water impact fee funds:
As mention under Community engagement WC02: Meter Software Subscription for
Dropcountr water use portal also helps us work towards with through water
conservation 6.1.a clean water supplies.
158
WIF32 Groundwater Well Field and Transmission Construction ‐ Water right permitting
and mitigation plan; construction of aquifer recharge or other mitigation infrastructure;
and transmission main construction to tie ground water supply into the existing system.
WIF32 enhances connectivity by providing a redundant water supply source in the
event of Sourdough WTP outage and aids in our efforts towards 6.1 a Watershed
Management.
7) A High Performance Organization. There are projects to further expand facilities to
accommodate new staff to have adequate work space in addition to new vehicles, tools and
equipment to aid in the basic services for the City.
FY22 Capital impacts on operational costs:
$32.8 million in spending is planned in FY22. Majority being spent on water and sewer infrastructure projects.
The larger infrastructure projects have an impact on our operational costs, which can include increased cost
for maintenance, additional monitoring, and additional services such as more roads to plow with the street
construction scheduled.
o The major wastewater projects discussed earlier will add maintenance time and monitoring.
o The streets that will be constructed will affect the Street Maintenance fund’s operational budgets
in FY22 with the additional snow plowing and into the future for repairs and maintenance.
Expanding the vehicle fleet increases maintenance and gas expenditures. This budget year there are some
vehicles and other mobile equipment replacements that will not have as big of impact as the new vehicles
expanding the number in the fleet.
We are not constructing any major building in this budget but there are some remodels but their
operational impact is minimal since there is not additional need for cleaning and utilities

Appendix B: Budget and Financial Policies
The overall goal of the City's financial policies is to establish and maintain effective management of the City's
financial resources. Formal policy statements and major objectives provide the foundation for achieving this goal.
Accordingly, this section outlines the policies used in guiding the preparation and management of the City's overall
budget and the major objectives to be accomplished. In addition, the rationale, which led to the establishment of
the fiscal policy statements, is also identified.
Budget Development & Administration
1. A comprehensive annual budget will be prepared for all funds expended by the City.
State law provides that "no money shall be drawn from the treasury of the municipality nor shall any obligation for
the expenditure of money be incurred except pursuant to the appropriation made by the commission." Inclusion
of all funds in the budget enables the commission, the administration, and the public to consider all financial aspects
of city government when preparing, modifying, and monitoring the budget, rather than deal with the City's finances
on a "piece meal" basis.
2. The budget will be prepared in such a manner as to facilitate its understanding by citizens and elected officials.
One of the stated purposes of the budget is to present a picture of the City government operations and intentions
for the year to the citizens of Bozeman. Presenting a budget document that is understandable to the citizens
furthers the goal of effectively communicating local government finance issues to both elected officials and the
public.
3. Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing those basic municipal services which provide the maximum level
of services, to the most citizens, in the most cost effective manner, with due consideration being given to all
costs‐‐economic, fiscal, and social.
Adherence to this basic philosophy provides the citizens of Bozeman assurance that its government and elected
officials are responsive to the basic needs of the citizens and that its government is operated in an economical and
efficient manner.
4. The budget will provide for adequate maintenance of capital, plant, and equipment and for their orderly
replacement.
All governments experience prosperous times as well as periods of economic decline. In periods of economic
decline, proper maintenance and replacement of capital, plant, and equipment is generally postponed or eliminated
as a first means of balancing the budget. Recognition of the need for adequate maintenance and replacement of
capital, plant, and equipment, regardless of the economic conditions, will assist in maintaining the government's
equipment and infrastructure in good operating condition.
5. The City will avoid budgetary practices that balance current expenditures at the expense of meeting future
years' expenses.
Budgetary practices such as postponing capital expenditures, accruing future years' revenues, or rolling over short‐
term debt are budgetary practices which can solve short‐term financial problems; however, they can create much
larger financial problems for future administrations and commissions. Avoidance of these budgetary practices will
assure citizens that current problems are not simply being delayed to a future year.
170
6. The City will give highest priority in the use of one‐time revenues to the funding of capital assets or other
non‐recurring expenditures.
Utilizing one‐time revenues to fund on‐going expenditures results in incurring annual expenditure obligations which
may be unfunded in future years. Using one‐time revenues to fund capital assets or other non‐recurring
expenditures better enables future administrations and commissions to cope with the financial problems when
these revenue sources are discontinued, since these types of expenditures can more easily be eliminated.
7. The City will maintain a budgetary control system to help it adhere to the established budget.
The budget passed by the Commission establishes the legal spending limits for the City. A budgetary control system
is essential in order to insure legal compliance with the City's budget.
8. The City will exercise budgetary control (maximum spending authority) through City Commission approval of
appropriation authority for each appropriated budget unit.
Exercising budgetary control for each appropriated budget unit satisfies requirements of State law. It also assists
the commission in monitoring current year operations and acts as an early warning mechanism when departments
deviate in any substantive way from the original budget.
9. Reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts will be prepared monthly.
The City's budget is ineffective without a system to regularly monitor actual spending and revenue collections with
those anticipated at the beginning of the year. Monthly reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to
budget amounts provide the mechanism for the Commission and the administration to regularly monitor
compliance with the adopted budget.
Revenue Collection
1. The City will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base.
A city dependent upon a few volatile revenue sources is frequently forced to suddenly adjust tax rates or alter
expenditure levels to coincide with revenue collections. Establishment of a diversified and stable revenue base,
however, serves to protect the City from short‐term fluctuations in any one major revenue source.
2. The City will estimate revenues in a realistic and conservative manner.
Aggressive revenue estimates significantly increase the chances of budgetary shortfalls occurring during the year‐‐
resulting in either deficit spending or required spending reductions. Realistic and conservative revenue estimates,
on the other hand, will serve to minimize the adverse impact of revenue shortfalls and will also reduce the need for
mid‐year spending reductions.
3. The City will pursue an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
An aggressive policy of collecting revenues will help to ensure the City's revenue estimates are met, all taxpayers
are treated fairly and consistently, and delinquencies are kept to a minimum.
4. The City will aggressively pursue opportunities for Federal or State grant funding.
An aggressive policy of pursuing opportunities for federal or state grant funding provides citizens assurance that
the City is striving to obtain all state and federal funds to which it is entitled, thereby reducing dependence on local
taxpayers for the support of local public services.
5. User fees and charges will be used, as opposed to general taxes, when distinct beneficiary populations or
interest groups can be identified.
171
User fees and charges are preferable to general taxes because user charges can provide clear demand signals which
assist in determining what services to offer, their quantity, and their quality. User charges are also more equitable,
since only those who use the service must pay‐‐thereby eliminating the subsidy provided by nonusers to users,
which is inherent in general tax financing.
6. User fees will be collected only if it is cost‐effective and administratively feasible to do so.
User fees are often times costly to administer. Prior to establishing user fees, the costs to establish and administer
the fees will be considered in order to provide assurance that the city's collection mechanisms are being operated
in an efficient manner.
Expenditures and Payments
1. On‐going expenditures will be limited to levels which can be supported by current revenues.
Utilization of reserves to fund on‐going expenditures will produce a balanced budget; however, this practice will
eventually cause severe financial problems. Once reserve levels are depleted, the City would face elimination of
on‐going costs in order to balance the budget. Therefore, the funding of on‐going expenditures will be limited to
current revenues.
2. Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects, which primarily benefit current residents, will be financed
from current revenues.
Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects represent relatively small costs of an on‐going nature, and
therefore, should be financed with current revenues rather than utilizing debt financing. This policy also reflects
the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for the project.
3. Major capital projects, which benefit future as well as current residents, will be financed with current
revenues as well as other financing sources (e.g. debt financing).
This policy reflects the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for the project.
4. Major capital projects, which benefit future residents, will be financed with other financing sources (e.g. debt
financing).
Major capital projects represent large expenditures of a non‐recurring nature which primarily benefit future
residents. Debt financing provides a means of generating sufficient funds to pay for the costs of major projects.
Debt financing also enables the costs of the project to be supported by those who benefit from the project, since
debt service payments will be funded through charges to future residents.
5. Construction projects and capital purchases of $10,000 or more will be included in the Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP); minor capital outlays of less than $10,000 will be included in the regular operating budget.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) differentiates the financing of high cost long‐lived physical improvements from
low cost "consumable" equipment items contained in the operating budget. CIP items may be funded through debt
financing or current revenues while operating budget items are annual or routine in nature and should only be
financed from current revenues.
6. Spending Policy:
The City will spend its resources in the following order. Resources will be categorized according to Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for state and local governments, with the following general definitions:
172
Restricted ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as grantors, bondholders, and
higher levels of government) through constitutional provisions or by enabling legislation.
Committed ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City Commission; to be reported as
committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Commission takes action to
remove or change the constraint.
Assigned ‐‐ Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can be expressed by the Commission
or by an official or body to which the Commission delegates the authority. The City Commission delegates
this authority to the City Manager.
Unassigned ‐‐ Amounts that are available for any purpose; these amounts are reported only in the General
Fund.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, spending will occur in the following order, for the
identified fund types:
Fund Type Order of Spending
General Fund 1. Restricted
2. Committed
3. Assigned
4. Unassigned
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in the General Fund.

Capital Projects

Debt Administration
1. The City will limit long‐term debt to capital improvements, which cannot be financed from current revenues.
Incurring long‐term debt serves to obligate future taxpayers. Excess reliance on long‐term debt can cause debt
levels to reach or exceed the government's ability to pay. Therefore, conscientious use of long‐term debt will
provide assurance that future residents will be able service the debt obligations left by former residents.
173
2. The City will repay borrowed funds, used for capital projects, within a period not to exceed the expected useful
life of the project.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a project should pay for the project. Adherence
to this policy will also help prevent the government from over‐extending itself with regard to the incurrence of
future debt.
3. The City will not use long‐term debt for financing current operations.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a service should pay for the service. Utilization of
long‐term debt to support current operations would result in future residents supporting services provided to current
residents.
4. The City of Bozeman will adhere to a policy of full public disclosure with regard to the issuance of debt.
Full public disclosure with regard to the issuance of debt provides assurance that the incurrence of debt, for which
the public is responsible, is based upon a genuine need and is consistent with underwriters’ guidelines.
Reserves and Fund Balances
1. Reserves and Fund Balances will be properly designated into the following categories:
Nonspendable fund balance ‐‐ Amounts that are not in a spendable form (such as inventory) or are
required to be maintained intact (such as the corpus of an endowment fund).
Restricted fund balance ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as
grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government) through constitutional provisions or by
enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City Commission; to be
reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Commission
takes action to remove or change the constraint.
Assigned fund balance ‐‐ Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can be expressed
by the Commission or by an official or body to which the Commission delegates the authority.
Unassigned fund balance ‐‐ Amounts that are available for any purpose; these amounts are reported
only in the General Fund.
2. A minimum level of General Fund reserve equal to 16.67% of annual revenues will be maintained by the City.
This reserve is committed to be used for: cash flow purposes, accrued employee payroll benefits which are not
shown as a liability, unanticipated equipment acquisition and replacement, and to enable the city to meet
unexpected expenditure demands or revenue shortfalls. (See Appendix D for recommendation)
Property taxes represent the City's primary source of general fund revenue. Property taxes are collected in
November and May of each fiscal year. Since the City's fiscal year begins on July 1st, the City must maintain an
adequate cash balance in order to meet its expenditure obligations between July 1st and the commencement of
the collection of property taxes in November.
Accrued employee payroll benefits represent a bona fide obligation of the City. The City will maintain sufficient
reserves to meet its annual expenditure obligations.
The City recognizes the need to maintain adequate equipment in order to carry out required public services.
Equipment acquisition and replacement represent on‐going costs of a relatively minor nature, as compared to major
capital purchases. We plan for equipment replacement within our Capital Improvement Program. However,
174
unforeseen equipment problems will arise. The reserve will provide resources for the immediate, unanticipated
replacement of critical equipment.
The City is subject to revenue shortfalls and unexpected expenditure demands during the fiscal year. An
undesignated General Fund reserve will be maintained to be able to offset these revenue shortfalls or meet
unexpected demands occurring during the year, without suddenly adjusting tax rates or reducing expenditures.
Financial Reporting & Accounting
1. The City will manage and account for its financial activity in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
GASB is recognized as the authority with respect to governmental accounting. Managing the City's finances in
accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the rules set forth by GASB provides Bozeman citizens assurance
that their public funds are being accounted for in a proper manner.
2. The City will maintain its accounting records for general governmental operations on a modified accrual basis,
with revenues recorded when available and measurable, and expenditures recorded when services or goods are
received and liabilities incurred. Accounting records for proprietary fund types and similar trust funds will be
maintained on an accrual basis, with all revenues recorded when earned and expenses recorded at the time
liabilities are incurred, without regard to receipt or payment of cash.
Adherence to this policy will enable the City to prepare its financial statements in accordance with GAAP as set forth
by the GASB.
3. The City of Bozeman will prepare a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) in conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The report will be made available to the general public. The
CAFR shall be prepared in accordance with the standards established by the GFOA for the Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program
The Certificate of Achievement represents a significant accomplishment for a government and its financial
management. The program encourages governments to prepare and publish an easily readable and understandable
comprehensive annual financial report covering all funds and financial transactions of the government during the
year. The CAFR provides users with a wide variety of information useful in evaluating the financial condition of a
government. The program also encourages continued improvement in the City's financial reporting practices.
4. The City will ensure the conduct of timely, effective, and annual audit coverage of all financial records in
compliance the local, state, and federal law.
Audits of the City's financial records provide the public assurance that its funds are being expended in accordance
with Local, State, and Federal law and in accordance with GAAP. Audits also provide management and the
Commission with suggestions for improvement in its financial operations from independent experts in the
accounting field.
5. The City of Bozeman will maintain a policy of full and open public disclosure of all financial activity.
Full and open public disclosure of all financial activity provides the public with assurance that its elected officials
and administrators communicate fully all financial matters affecting the public.
6. The modified accrual basis of accounting and budgeting is used for the governmental funds. Under the
modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable
175
and available. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay
liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related liability is incurred. Employee
compensated absences and principal and interest on long‐term debt expenditures are recorded when due in the
current period. The accrual basis of accounting is used for proprietary funds. Under this method, revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when the related liability is incurred. For budget preparation
and presentation, the proprietary funds’ expenses are converted to expenditures and follow the same budget
format as the government fund types. Capital outlays in the enterprise funds are presented as expenses for
budget basis, but are recorded as assets along with associated depreciation expense on the GAAP basis. Debt
service principal payments in the enterprise funds are accounted for as expenses for budget purposes, but are
reported as reduction of long‐term debt liability on the GAAP basis.
Recording capital outlays as expenditures and principal payments on long‐term debt for budget purposes, presents
a clearer picture of the City’s financial operations, is easier to administer for cash flow purposes, and is easier for
the lay person to understand.
176
Appendix C: Long Range Financial Planning
5‐year Financial Plans: Each year, the City also prepares and maintains financial plans for the current year and the
ensuing 5 years for the following funds:
Special Revenue Funds
Street Maintenance Fund
Arterial & Collector Fund
Tree Maintenance Fund
Parks & Trails District Fund
Enterprise Funds
Water Fund
Wastewater Fund
Stormwater Fund
These plans are developed as a part of the annual budget process and are based on current and future estimates of
staffing levels, estimated increases in operating costs such as supplies, fuel, and chemicals, and recommended the
capital plans. The plans project revenue requirements, expenditure levels, and estimated reserve levels for each of
the five years.
Special Revenue Funds
STREET MAINTENANCE:
The Street Maintenance long‐term plan continues to show increases in assessment to meet the needs of the capital
plan and growth. We are showing stabilization in rates but are having to dip below our desired reserve level unless
we raise rates, lower the level of services or reduce capital costs.

PARKS & TRAILS DISTRICT FUND
Parks & Trails District Fund plan as approved by the Commission is a five‐year ramp up to Silver level of service. A
major capital item was delayed to decrease the initial assessment. This year’s increase is higher to include the
needed capital item. Going forward minor increase are needed to keep up with costs.
