F. Action Item – Recommendation regarding the Aspen Festival Street Lighting and a
related budget amendment and change order
David presented, reminding board the national street code confirmed the lights are hanging
too low. That lead to this engineering study and budget amendment. See Attachment B.
Danielle with Sanderson-Stewart joined the meeting. 3 cheaper options were learned during
morning conversations with Montana Lines, and staff recommends asking for authority to
look into these options.
Danielle shared the three options discussed this morning: 1) an extension to the top of the
pole with engineering required and design, noting Montana Lines has such capabilities
within their normal options; 2)add 2’ to base of pole; and 3) add transformer at base of pole
but these are square and would look wanky, although they could be covered with some sort
of wrap to disguise.
Discussion. Mid-March is earliest the work could be done. Question is do we have to go to
bid. David clarified if work is estimated at more than $80k the project will have to go out for
bid per state law. More discussion as to why not wait and get new lighting at 9Ten, moving
these lightpoles to that new area and getting taller ones for festival street. Discussion
continued.
David added staff is still chatting with Sanderson-Stewart about a good faith effort to fix the
situation. Danielle said they were willing to accept their portion of the fault at missing the
national height code. Discussion. Val agreed with Nolan on earmarking money to do this fix.
Tracy also good with earmarking funds and added her trust in the professionals for design
and cost.
Nolan moved to recommend that the Bozeman City Commission amend the budget for the
Midtown Urban renewal District to include up to $133,225 for modifying the street light
poles and bases on the Aspen Festival Street to facilitate the reinstallation of string lights in
compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and City Code. Val seconded Nolan’s
motion.

Nolan thanked Sanderson-Stewart for owning their portion of the mistake as is always best.
He added the board should do the same and not hold up progress on getting this fix done.
Emily is not in support of the motion. Val said we’re in a fix mode, dealing with making
previous work by the board actually doable. Nolan added he’d recently had a great Festival
Street/District aesthetic moment while visiting a business on Aspen. What the changes in
Midtown have done for our local economy is very important and a good thing for our
Midtown District.
Discussion continued. Alicia added to Nolan’s comments about the Midtown look as being
great, adding the festival lights are the heart of it. More discussion and forming a SID was
brought up. David said the board’s choices are how to spend TIF money. More discussion.
Val asked for a vote by each member on the motion:
Those in favor: Val, Nolan, Susan, with thumbs up from Alicia and Tracy
Those not in favor: Emily.
The motion carries.
G. FYI/Discussion
David is circulating to the board the action plan so everyone can read it. David noted he
wants feedback as the work plan and budget for FY23 will soon be on our monthly agendas
for approval.
Susan requested the addition to an upcoming meeting agenda of how the board can
encourage the formation of a Business Increment District.
Nolan added Kevin Cook’s property at the southeast corner of Aspen at 5
th and the tall farm
light that Kevin said could be taken down so not conflicting with the new lighting. David will
check on this, i.e. how to request power company take it down in a timely fashion.
H. Adjournment
Val adjourned meeting at 5:27pm.
