MEETING DATE:September 26, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Finance
RECOMMENDATION:Approve the depository bonds and pledged securities as of June 30, 2023.

and efficient manner.
BACKGROUND:
17-6-102. Insurance on deposits. (1) Deposits in excess of the amount
insured by the federal deposit insurance corporation or the national credit
union administration may not be made unless the bank, building and loan
association, savings and loan association, or credit union first delivers to the
state treasurer or deposits in trust with some solvent bank, as security
therefore, bonds or other obligations of the kinds listed in 17-6-103, having a
market value equal to at least 50% of the amount of the deposits in excess of
the amount insured. The board of investments may require security of a
greater value. When negotiable securities are placed in trust, the trustee's
receipt may be accepted instead of the actual securities if the receipt is in
favor of the state treasurer, successors in office, and the state of Montana
and the form of receipt and the trustee have been approved by the board of
investments.
(2) Any bank, building and loan association, savings and loan association,
or credit union pledging securities as provided in this section may at any
time substitute securities for any part of the securities pledged. The
substituted collateral must conform to 17-6-103 and have a market value at
least sufficient for compliance with subsection (1). If the substituted
securities are held in trust, the trustee shall, on the same day the
substitution is made, forward by registered or certified mail to the state
treasurer and to the depository financial institution a receipt specifically
describing and identifying both the securities substituted and those released
and returned to the depository financial institution.
Section 7-6-207 (2), MCA, requires the City Commission to approve pledged
38
securities at least quarterly.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission

Dollar Amount Requested for the Fiscal Year
We are respectfully requesting $25,000 of funding from the City of Bozeman to support our group mentoring
program for vulnerable teens.
Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
Big Sky Youth Empowerment (BYEP) is respectfully requesting $25,000 in funds to support our group mentoring
program for vulnerable teens here in Gallatin County. We provide weekly social-emotional wellness workshops
where participants learn to develop skills and social connections that equip them to face challenges in their lives. On
the weekends, we venture out on outdoor adventures that allow our youth to ‘go outside to grow inside.’ Thirty-
eight percent of our youth qualify for free or reduced lunches, 49% percent present with symptoms of depression,
43% report conflict in the home, 40% have seriously considered attempting suicide or do not wish to disclose their
suicidal ideation, and 17% have been in trouble with the law. BYEP participants are 4x more racially diverse than the
broader county population, with 22% identifying as BIPOC. We believe that our work aligns with the Commission
Priorities in that we provide services to the teens in our community who need it the most. We also align with the
Commission's focus on inclusivity and gender analysis, with 45% of our teens identifying as LGBTQIA+ and 20% of
our youth identifying as non-binary or transgender. We are honored to provide a safe space for teens from all walks
of life, and to help our young people find community with one another across identity divisions that might otherwise
prevent them from connecting and creating support networks. With the omnipresent influence of social media,
increased isolation and instability from the pandemic, and overwhelming sense of division in our current social
climate, our community’s teens are struggling and BYEP’s services are more urgently needed now than ever. We are
facing a financial shortfall this year, and the city’s support would be incredibly helpful as we work to close this gap
and continue to provide such an important community service to the young people in our community in need of
support. Thank you for considering funding for our mentorship program.

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
Child Care Connections is requesting $150,000 to expand our Gap Child Care Scholarship Program (GSP). Our goal to
expand access to quality care aligns with the City’s priorities and equity initiatives. The GSP was created to support
families who fall in the assistance gaps due to barriers such as income, limited access to licensed child care, and
other circumstances. To qualify for assistance such as the Best Beginnings Scholarship (BBS), families must have a
gross income less than 150% of the federal poverty guidelines. At the same time, wages have increased with the
rising cost of living in our community, disqualifying many families from accessing this essential support. The GSP
offers a more flexible approach, expanding income eligibility to the state median income. This would increase
eligibility for a family of 4 earning $41,628 (150% FPL) to $131,000. In addition, scholarships can go towards licensed
or legally operating child care. We have modified the program to meet diverse needs and impact a greater number
of families by offering a menu of support options that include a small, one-time grant for special circumstances, a
monthly scholarship, or a three-month scholarship. Each family could apply for up to $2,500 annually. We predict
this funding could provide scholarships for 60 families in Gallatin County. For each family that participates, we offer
wrap-around support through a 1-on-1 meeting with our Family Engagement Coordinator, allowing families to
explore resources to help them move forward successfully. This support, along with the flexible scholarship opens
opportunities for parents to re-enter and fully participate in the workforce, and address challenges in accessing child
care. Parents need continued support to afford safe, quality care, and we hope to expand this opportunity with your
continued support. Program outcomes; Gallatin County: https://bit.ly/3LCo4FW , Park County:

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
Community Health Partners, Inc. (CHP) provides high-quality, affordable medical, dental, behavioral health,
pharmacy and educational programming to more than 10,500 individuals annually at eight service locations in
Bozeman, Belgrade, Livingston and West Yellowstone. CHP is recognized by the NCQA as a Patient Centered Medical
Home with Distinction in Integrated Behavioral Health. CHP’s model delivers comprehensive services that include
resource and care coordination, clinical pharmacy, eligibility assistance and other supportive services to address the
needs of Park and Gallatin County residents living below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. CHP is requesting
$75,000 from the nonprofit grant program to support and expand its behavioral health services in Bozeman. The
rising cost of living in Bozeman has increased the cost of care delivery, and this funding will support existing
behavioral health therapist positions as well as support the addition of 1.0 FTE behavioral health therapist that will
provide both individual and group therapy services at HRDC locations such as the Housing First Village or the
Warming Center. This request provides an opportunity for The City of Bozeman to attend to its identified priority to
increase budget allocations for community and support services. In addition, by providing direct behavioral health
support to some of our most vulnerable community members, this funding is aligned with Bozeman’s 2020
Community Plan theme to preserve and increase the community’s resiliency. Finally, by building on an existing
partnership between CHP and HRDC to co-locate services that enhance the well-being of our unhoused community
members, this funding request is in alignment with the recommendation to prioritize health system and community
collaboration detailed in the Health section of the Bozeman Equity Indicators Project Gaps Analysis. Thank you for
this opportunity to enhance community health and well-being in Bozeman.

than 600 individuals every year and the vast majority live or work in Bozeman. This year alone, we served 22 local
teachers, 33 youth mentors, 243 elementary school students, 100 middle schoolers, 134 high school students, 40
MSU students, and 104 caregivers. We provide educational curricula, workshops, and training on compassion - what
it is, how to recognize it, how to practice it, and why it is important. We define compassion as mindful support,
relief, and genuine human kindness - for others, ourselves, and the Earth. We do this work because compassion is a
skill and practice that promotes individual and community wellbeing. Research shows that compassion is a buffer
against stress, increases longevity, increases feelings of social connection, increases resilience, and can help
decrease anxiety and depression. The need for compassion is clear: extremist views and hate speech are on the rise
in Montana, anti-Semitic flyers were found near a Bozeman elementary school in March, 1 in 5 Montana high
schoolers are bullied, 41% of Montana high schoolers are reporting symptoms of depression, and Montana's suicide
rate is twice the national average. The adults we work with might be the first person to notice that a child's mental
health is suffering. Compassion is a practice that promotes a culture of belonging, which prevents instances of harm
and bullying from happening in the first place, but compassion also resources us to be present and kind with
ourselves and others in the midst of suffering. We request $20,000 to support our general operating budget and
help us continue to offer our services at a sliding-scale cost. We partner with local schools and nonprofit
organizations. A grant of any size will make a large impact. Thank you for considering our request. Our work aligns
with the City's commitment to advance belonging, equity, and inclusion.

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
Greater Gallatin United Way is seeking $50,000 to support the critical kidsLINK program. kidsLINK provides high-
quality, affordable after-school support to over 800 Bozeman elementary school children. The program receives a
small federal grant to support title schools, but 75% of funding relies on private and individual donations. We also
know that quality out-of-school programming can significantly increase academic success for our students. As an
extension of the school day, kidsLINK offers nutrition, homework support, mental and behavioral wellness,
recreation, and science and technology enrichment. Many children in our programs have access to more
opportunities because of our collaborative approach with MSU, the City and other community partners. The
program supports the priorities of the City by providing a collaborative and holistic approach to serving our
neighbors. We want to create an equitable environment that directly aligns with the City’s “… to ensure that every
resident, visitor, and City of Bozeman employee feels welcomed and valued, and can thrive no matter their race,
identity, or life circumstance.” With more than 40% of our families receiving financial assistance, we will not turn
anyone away, regardless of their ability to pay. We believe all children to have access to high-quality services.
kidsLINK also aligns with the community plan by increasing access to services for residents. After-school care is a
fundamental and critical service to our residents, not only for our workforce but for the economic growth of our
area. It’s a benefit, and having a high-quality resource will support our children academically and socially and help
families thrive. With the rising cost of living in the City, we are committed to keeping our fees low and affordable
without compromising quality. We appreciate the partnership with the City, and all our community does to ensure
families and children aren’t just surviving and thriving.

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
Our Vision: We envision a community knowledgeable about domestic abuse, fully engaged and committed to the
safety and well-being of its members. Our Mission: Haven is committed to reducing the incidence, and minimizing
the impact, of domestic abuse on families and communities. We provide emergency shelter, crisis intervention, on-
going support, referrals, and education. Haven is requesting $50000 in general operating support to grow our life-
saving domestic violence intervention and prevention programs. With the explosive growth in Bozeman over the
past several years, we have seen an increased demand for our services, with a 12% increase in direct services
provided between 2021 and 2022. This growth continues into the current year, with jumps of 36% in support line
calls and 63% in legal advocacy support over the past quarter alone. Our newly opened shelter, The Barnard Center,
moves Haven into a position of greater visibility as we bring the issue of domestic violence out of the shadows and
into a place of public awareness. The new shelter serves all genders, and supports twice as many residents as the
previous shelter. In addition, we have expanded our text and chat support services to seven days a week, and are
hiring an overnight advocate to provide support where a gap has previously existed. These expanded services
position us to provide greater support to the Bozeman community, including vulnerable populations such as low-
income families, the unhoused, and individuals with disabilities. The shift from a secret shelter location to a secure,
disclosed location also allows us to engage in prevention work more extensively, as the community has a visible,
beautifully designed space around which to organize and think about how to eliminate domestic violence. These
activities are in alignment with the Bozeman Commission priority of making Bozeman a City for CEDAW, and the
priority to provide direct support services to residents.

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
Help Center, Inc. is comprised of 24/7 mental health crisis lines (including 988 & 211), the Sexual Assault Counseling
Center, Hearts and Homes Family Resource Center, Gallatin County Child Advocacy Center, and Sacks Thrift. We’ve
been supporting Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley for 52 years. We’re requesting $25,000 in continued support of
our Community Education & Outreach efforts and $75,000 to build new and much needed facilities for our
organization. Through community education & outreach efforts in 2022, we provided 130 service hours and reached
1,644 people, all thanks to the City’s support. It is critical we invest in education for our community members who
are often turned to in a mental health crisis or a traumatic incident. Equipping community members to
compassionately respond and provide access to lifesaving resources is an investment to address mental health in
our community. The support and momentum to address inadequate facilities at our Peach St. location with capital
expansion, and raise program support for our growing programs, was made clear in a recently completed Campaign
Planning Study. We are in the quiet/leadership phase of fundraising for a new facility. Expanded space will allow us
to meet the needs of our ongoing and no-cost counseling services, increased privacy for walk-in crisis services, an
expanded call center, space for administrative staff, and training space. Our goal is to raise as much as $4 million in
capital expansion and $500,000 in program support by Dec. 2024. We’ve raised $590,000 in support to date. In
addition to directly serving our community, we reduce the burden on City & County services such as 911 and law
enforcement. Of the 5,121 calls from Gallatin County in 2022, we stabilized 78% without needing to use additional
community resources. Our crisis call center is also a core element of the Crisis Now Model. We are and will continue
to be seen as the first place to call in a mental health crisis.

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
HRDC’s Warming Center provides emergency shelter to men and women experiencing homelessness while the
HRDC Wheat Suites provides emergency non-congregant shelter for families experiencing homelessness. The center
is open year-round and provides a warm, safe place to spend the night while connecting guests with programming
and services designed to help people get back on the path towards self-sufficiency and make their experience of
homelessness rare, brief and one-time. The Warming Center and Wheat Suites have seen increasing demand for
services in the past few years. For example, HRDC data shows a doubling of homelessness among previously housed
older adults (86 in 2022 and 175 in 2023). In a similar vein, HRDC data indicates a 50% increase in the number of
youth (18-24) seeking overnight shelter and supportive services. The HRDC shelter, in partnership with the City of
Bozeman, responded to the increasing number of people experiencing homelessness by extending the seasonal
shelter from five months of operations in 2021 to twelve months of operation in 2022. This was the first time the
Warming Center provided overnight services year-round. It was expected that overnight guest counts would
decrease in the warmer months, but that was not the case; numbers continued to average 75-80 individuals per
night throughout the warmer months. The above funding request includes elements such as an onsite paramedic to
help guests with untreated medical conditions and onsite security to assist with behavioral issues. Having these
services onsite will be a savings for the city by addressing issues before the need for emergency response.
Additionally, HRDC is working with the Yellowstone Club Community Foundation and Community Health Partners to
provide funding for onsite behavioral health services which would also save the city significantly by proactively
addressing mental health issues before they rise to the level of crisis. We welcome a discussion regarding funding
levels.

Dollar Amount Requested for the Fiscal Year
$620,000 ($400,000 operating + $120,000 local match for two transit buses)
Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
The Transit Development Plan (TDP) released two years ago positions Streamline to proactively adapt to the growth
and change in our community. Robust investments in public transit will help the City achieve goals outlined in the
Strategic Plan and the priorities identified for 2023.Streamline specifically supports Vision 4.0 A Well-Planned City,
by supporting a livable, affordable, more connected city. For example, investments in public transportation 1) drive
economic development, 2) provide access to educational, vocational, and social opportunities, 3) improve overall
health and wellness, and 4) create a well-connected, inclusive, and thriving community. With regards to a well-
planned city, Streamline helps the City achieve Goal 4.2 High Quality Urban Approach by providing greater
connectivity to trails, parks, and moreopportunities for walking and biking. Streamline also plays an important
coordination/partnership role in the City’s approach to Strategic Infrastructure Choices (Goal 4.3) and preparation
for a Metropolitan Planning Organization (Goal 4.3f). Furthermore, Streamline is critical to the City achieving Goal
4.5 Housing and Transportation Choices (improve mobility options that accommodate all travel modes). For most
households, transportation is the second largest annual expense behind housing costs. It is critical to keep housing
and transportation integrated in planning efforts to promote accessibility, equity, and affordability. In addition to
supporting efforts to create a well-planned city, Streamline also supports Strategic Plan Vision 6.0 A Sustainable
Environment, specifically with regards to Goal 6.3 Climate Action: Reduce community and municipal Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) Emissions. Transportation is the only category that showed negative progress from the last climate plan;
thus much more work needs to be done in this area. A good transit system helps foster solutions for the housing
crisis, community health, inclusivity, equity, and diversity.

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
Montana Conservation Corps (MCC) inspires young people through hands-on conservation service to be leaders,
stewards of the land, and engaged citizens who improve their communities. MCC participants (AmeriCorps
members) improve trails, remove noxious weeds, restore watersheds, and reduce wildfire fuels across our public
lands. MCC will ensure safe, equitable access to the city’s trail systems for all residents. Leveraging our respective
expertise, MCC, Gallatin Valley Land Trust (GVLT), and MSU Alumni Foundation propose a restoration project on Kirk
Hill Trail to increase safety, accessibility, and enjoyment of the trail through structural improvements. Funds will
support a six-person MCC field crew and GVLT staff to complete 3 weeks of restoration work in Spring 2024 to: 1)
Reconstruct the chimney section to improve the heavily eroded corridor providing public access between private
land holdings; 2) Rebuild boardwalk in boggy areas to provide a safe route and protect flora; and 3) Replace a bridge
situated over an irrigation ditch. GVLT has received an additional grant to rebuild the kiosk and grade the parking lot
at Kirk Hill, providing additional improvements. This project is directly aligned with the goals of the City’s Community
Plan and Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan, including: to protect our natural environment, open spaces,
and parks system; address the impacts of increased human population; provide a variety of recreational
opportunities; and support long-term ecological health. Bozeman residents identified trail maintenance as the most
important unmet need by a large margin in the Bozeman 2022 Parks & Recreation survey, illustrating the urgency of
preserving our local trails, particularly those that are heavily trafficked like Kirk Hill. Significant structural
improvements to Kirk Hill will increase residents’ ability to access the trail and navigate it safely, and will preserve
this beloved area for years to come.

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
In recent years, the immigrant community in the Bozeman area has rapidly increased. Many members of the
immigrant community, which is predominantly Hispanic/Latino, experience various bases of marginalization and, as
a result, are particularly vulnerable. Compounding this vulnerability is the tenuous working situation of many of
these individuals, who often work multiple part-time jobs to support their families, and are nonetheless ineligible to
receive many standard full-time benefits. So often this vulnerable population is left behind with no safety net. At
Montana Immigrant Justice Alliance (MIJA) our mission is to support immigrants in the Gallatin Vallery and their
families during these times of insecurity, increased deportations, family separations, racial profiling, and hostility.
MIJA provides support to Bozeman area immigrants in the following ways: connecting families to relevant resources
for stable housing, food, etc; providing free warm clothing during winter months; translation services; community
building events; enrichment programs for youth; community garden; emergency housing relief. This grant request
will help to bring these essential services to immigrants in Bozeman by providing operational funding for the
organization.

FY 2024 Grant Agreement – One Valley Community Foundation Regional Housing Coalition Exhibit A
192
Dollar Amount Requested for the Fiscal Year
$30,000
Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
In its inaugural year, One Valley Community Foundation’s Regional Housing Coalition (RHC), will identify shared
community priorities among diverse partners in Gallatin County and implement solutions to address housing needs.
In alignment with the 2020 Community Plan’s principles and themes, such as balancing the interests of existing
residents and new developments and preserving and increasing the community’s resiliency, the RHC is structured to
convene the public, policymakers, funders, private entities, nonprofit leaders, and others in one room to expand
civic engagement, inclusiveness, and network activation towards housing solutions. The RHC will amplify community
voices and aid the City in identifying necessary changes to the Unified Development Code that prioritizes
community-driven solutions to housing affordability, housing density, and development review processes. Barriers
to providing housing are present in policy, lending, building, contracting, etc. and multiple efforts are being made to
address pieces of a complex and multifaceted housing crisis. However, there has not been an entity coordinating
these efforts and bringing together the necessary parties to define the nuanced problem or implement a suite of
solutions. By convening relevant parties, ensuring the voices of those most impacted by these barriers are heard,
and providing the infrastructure to develop community-driven solutions, the RHC will create a long-term mechanism
for utilizing civic engagement to solve a critical issue in our region. To accomplish this work, a $30,000 grant from
the City of Bozeman would be used for the ongoing planning, implementation, and project design of the Regional
Housing Coalition; costs associated with holding meetings and learning events in rural communities; and staff time
to meet with community members to understand local needs and present the needs of our communities to decision
makers and civic leaders at the local, county, and state level.

for new and expecting families. The most effective way to support parents is to connect them with the right
resources at the right time. To provide this we curate, print and distribute an annual Perinatal Resource Guide which
highlights the multifaceted components of optimal perinatal health which exists in our community including: mental
health providers, home visiting nurses, lactation support, midwives, family practice, psychiatrists, massage
therapists, support groups, doulas, naturopaths, OB/GYNs, etc. The Resource Guide, currently in its 7th edition, is a
trusted, essential resource which is published annually in partnership with Montana Parent Magazine through a
combination of ad sales, application fees, and commitment from our annual budget. Providers and parents depend
on its release each January as it represents a commitment to addressing perinatal mental health on a community
level, breaks down the stigma and normalizes reaching out for help for all families in this unique developmental
stage. The annual publication of the Guide is an invaluable resource in our community. In 2023 we printed 5000
copies, widely distributed for free throughout Gallatin and Park counties at provider offices and local businesses,
including Bozeman Health, Billings Clinic, Livingston Healthcare, and Healthy Gallatin Home Visiting. Staff meet
yearly with an advisory committee to review eligibility requirements, communicate and meet with providers, review
applications, design, and distribute to local organizations. A link to the 2023 Perinatal Resource Guide is here:

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
We are a Bozeman-based nonprofit committed to reducing suicide rates in Montana and shifting the stigma around
mental health. For the past 30 years, Montana has had one of the highest suicide rates in the nation – at nearly
double the national rate. Several factors are believed to contribute to this, including social isolation, lack of
behavioral health services, and a persistent stigma surrounding mental illness. Our core initiative is our Counseling
Scholarship Program. Through this program, we offer scholarships that cover 12 sessions with a licensed mental
health professional free of charge for at-risk individuals who cannot afford such services without our financial
assistance. Since our inception in 2017, Suffer Out Loud has granted Counseling Scholarships to over 80 individuals.
We are aiming to provide 40 additional scholarships by the end of 2023. Due to the demand in our scholarships, we
have shifted our application process from quarterly to monthly. This shift is essential in making sure folx who need
help can obtain it promptly. Suffer Out Loud is requesting $30,000 in funding for use towards our Mental Health
Care Scholarship. Currently, we are able to offer 3 to 5 scholarships on a monthly basis; however, our long term goal
is to offer scholarships on a rolling basis and this funding would help us in moving one step forward toward
achieving our goal. In your priority to become a city for CEDAW, we help by making our application process
accessible to all. There are no limitations for those who wish to apply. Our hope is that this opens doors for
marginalized folx to apply for funding to see a provider of their choice. We know how important it is to find the right
fit when speaking with a therapist and how that is not always possible when forced to seek free or sliding fee care.
This work speaks to both your CEDAW, and Community and Support Services goals. We aim to make it possible for
all community members to seek help when it is needed most.

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
WLI requests funding for its Bozeman English Learner Literacy Alliance (BELLA) Initiative, a program contributing to a
vibrant and equitable Bozeman. Now in its 3rd year of operations, BELLA has served 239 Spanish-speaking youth and
adult newcomers in the areas of literacy, social-emotional support, and enrichment equity. WLI’s programming is
aligned with the City’s goals adopted within its Strategic Plan; namely its commitment to community and support
services, as well as principles of celebration and engagement in areas of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). These
goals reference the importance of increased belonging, access to City programs and increased civic participation
among disadvantaged and minority community members. BELLA’s adult and youth programs create access to
essential literacy skill building as well as community connections, the results of which help address and overcome
racial, socio-economic and education disparities. If funded, BELLA will continue its no-cost literacy programs, and
through its existing partnership with the Bozeman Public Library, which currently supports access to library
materials and activities via our K-5 summer camps, grow to include a Family Literacy Night component. From July
2023 to June 2024, our goal is to serve a projected 125 adult and youth community members, representing a 25%
delivery increase. DEI principles are inherently embedded in the BELLA Initiative: we serve a minority population
that increases diversity in Bozeman; we establish equity of opportunity in education, enrichment, and workforce
development; and we provide an inclusive experience for a community that is often marginalized by linguistic,
economic and cultural barriers. Through BELLA and its collaboration with community partners, WLI provides vital
support services to a rapidly growing and key segment of Bozeman’ s diversifying population. We believe this work
benefits not only the individual participants but the greater community as a whole.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Brian Heaston, Engineer III
John Alston, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Construction Agreement with DS Jr.
Trucking Inc. to Relocate Slash Piles at the Upper Helicopter Landing on City
Property in Sourdough Canyon
MEETING DATE:September 26, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Construction Agreement with DS Jr.
Trucking Inc. to Relocate Slash Piles at the Upper Helicopter Landing on City
Property in Sourdough Canyon.
STRATEGIC PLAN:1.3 Public Agencies Collaboration: Foster successful collaboration with other
public agencies and build on these successes.
BACKGROUND:The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) recently awarded a service contract to
complete helicopter fuels reduction treatments for its Bozeman Municipal
Watershed Project. An existing MOU between the City and USFS provides
for USFS use of City land in Sourdough Creek watershed to support its
helicopter fuels reduction operations. The work completed summer 2021 by
the City with Phase 1 of the Sourdough Fuels Reduction project provided
construction of a temporary access road and a clearing (referred to as the
‘upper helicopter landing’) to support future City and USFS helicopter fuels
reduction treatments by providing adequate space for helicopter log landing,
processing and decking site. Slash piles from the City’s Phase 1 work remain
at the clearing and must be relocated by the end of this October to a new
location on City property that is accessed by the temporary road to provide
space for the USFS helicopter contractor. Piles must be relocated to provide
adequate space for the USFS helicopter contractor to begin its operations in
November. Once the slash is relocated, it will be burned by the City this fall
or winter during suitable burning conditions.
In accordance with the City’s purchasing policy, the City requested quotes
from three contractors to relocate the two large slash piles that are
currently at the clearing. DS Jr. Trucking Inc. provided the lowest price at a
total cost of $10,000. Of note is that DS Jr Trucking Inc. was the City’s Phase
1 contractor who constructed the temporary road, and created the clearing
and slash piles; so is familiar with the area and level of effort required to
relocate the slash. DS Jr Trucking Inc. is also subcontracted to the USFS
244
helicopter contractor to complete forest road maintenance work and to haul
logs off to the Livingston mill that are cut and flown by the helicopter
contractor.
The attached construction agreement with DS Jr. Trucking Inc. sets out the
contract for this work.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The contract comes at a total cost of $10,000 and will be funded by
unobligated budget authority in the FY24 Water Fund for project W63 –
Sourdough Fuels Reduction. Approximately $85,000 of unobligated budget
authority remains for project W63 so sufficient funding exists to cover this
$10,000 contract cost.

herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Work to be Performed:
a. A description of the work to be performed: Relocation of two (2) slash piles
on City property in the NE1/4 Sec. 18, T3S, R6E. The approximate location of the two

Forest Officer, Gary Peck, and be completed prior to October 31, 2023.
b. Prior to the commencement of any work on the Construction Project,
Contractor’s representatives and City’s representatives shall hold a meeting to establish a
working understanding among the parties as to the scope of the Construction Project and
duties of the Contractor. At this meeting, Contractor and City shall resolve any outstanding
issues related to the plans, designs, drawings, and specifications. If the parties are unable
to resolve these issues and the City fails, refuses, or is unable to approve the same, no work
shall commence on the Construction Project until such issues are resolved and the City

2. City-Supplied Materials: The City may supply materials from time to time in
furtherance of the Construction Project. Such materials will be noted as an addendum to this
Agreement.
3. Time of Performance: Contractor shall begin the Construction Project after
receiving a Notice to Proceed from City and shall complete the Construction Project no later than
October 31, 2023. Time is of the essence of completion of all work and each phase of the
Construction Project.
4. Liquidated Damages: If the Construction Project is not completed within the time
provided by this Agreement, the City may deduct for each day the Construction Project remains
uncompleted the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) from the compensation hereinafter
specified and retain that sum as payment for liquidated damages sustained by reason of the
Contractor’s failure to complete the Construction Project on time.
5. Compensation:
a. City shall pay to Contractor, and Contractor shall accept as full payment for
the performance of this Agreement and the Construction Project, the amount of ten
thousand Dollars ($10,000.00)
b. If work not included within the original Construction Documents is
requested by City, such additional work and the related compensation shall be agreed to in
writing by both parties prior to commencement of the additional work (“Change Order”).
c. City shall retain five percent (5%) of the total amount of compensation to
be paid to the Contractor to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the timely completion of the Construction Project and any and all “punch
list” items (“Retainage Amount”). The Retainage Amount shall be paid to Contractor thirty
(30) days after the City’s final acceptance of the portion of work for which a separate price
is stated in the specifications for the Construction Project.
e. Upon acceptance of final payment and for other good and valuable
consideration, Contractor shall and hereby does release and forever discharge City, its
officers, agents, and employees of and from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes
of action, obligations, and liabilities of every kind and character whatsoever, in law and in
equity, whether now known or in the future discovered, arising from or related to this
Agreement or the Construction Project that Contractor may have or assert against City, its
officers, agents, and employees.
6. Inspection and Testing:
a. City has the right to inspect and test any and all work performed by
Contractor on the Construction Project. Contractor shall allow City and its agents access
to the Construction Project at all times and shall provide every reasonable facility for the
purpose of such inspection and testing, including temporarily discontinuing portions of the
247
Construction Agreement for Relocation of Slash Piles
Page 3 of 16
work or uncovering or taking down portions of the finished work. Any inspection and
testing performed by the City and its agents is for the sole benefit of the City and shall not
relieve the Contractor of its duty, responsibility, and obligation to ensure that the work
strictly complies with the Agreement terms and conditions and all applicable laws and
building and safety codes. City’s inspection and testing shall not be deemed or considered
acceptance by the City of any portion of the Construction Project. City’s inspection and
testing shall not serve to nullify, amend, or waive any warranties provided by the
Contractor under this Agreement.
b. Contractor shall, without charge, replace any material or correct any work
found by the City or its agents to be defective or otherwise not in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to replace or correct any
defective work or materials after reasonable written notice by the City to do so, the City
may take such corrective action, either with its own materials and employees or by
retaining any third party to do so, and deduct the cost and expense of such corrective action
from the Contractor’s compensation.
7. Partial Utilization of Construction Project: City shall have the right to use or
occupy any portion of the Construction Project that City and Contractor mutually agree is
substantially completed and constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Construction Project for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor’s
performance of the remaining portions of the Construction Project. In the event City takes
possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the Construction Project, in whole or in part. City’s use of any portion of the
Construction Project shall not be grounds for extensions of any construction deadlines or a change
in the Contractor’s compensation. Contractor’s warranties shall run from the completion of the
total Construction Project and not from the date the City may take possession of selected portions
of the Construction Project.
8. Related Work at the Site: Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude
City, through its own employees or by contract with any third party, from performing other work
related to the Construction Project at the construction site; provided such related work is not
otherwise addressed in this Agreement and provided such related work does not otherwise interfere
with Contractor’s performance of this Agreement or the completion of the Construction Project.
Contractor shall afford any City employee, agent or representative, or any third party under
contract with the City to perform the related work, proper and safe access to the construction site,
a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment, the
opportunity to perform the related work, and shall properly coordinate the Contractor’s work on
the Construction Project with the related work.
9. Contractor’s Warranties: Contractor represents and warrants as follows:
a. Unless otherwise specified by the terms of this Agreement, all materials and
equipment used by Contractor on the Construction Project shall be new and where not
otherwise specified, of the most suitable grade for their intended uses.
248

b. All workmanship and materials shall be of a kind and nature acceptable to
the City.
c. All equipment, materials, and labor provided to, on, or for the Construction
Project must be free of defects and nonconformities in design, materials, and workmanship
for a minimum period beginning with the commencement of the work on the Construction
Project and ending one (1) year from the final completion and acceptance by the City of
the Construction Project, regardless of whether such equipment, materials, or labor were
supplied directly by Contractor or indirectly by Contractor’s subcontractors or suppliers.
Other express warranties on materials that provide for a warranty period longer than one
year apply for the period of that express warranty and are not reduced by this provision.
Upon receipt of City’s written notice of a defective or nonconforming condition during the
warranty period, Contractor shall take all actions, including redesign and replacement, to
correct the defective or nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the
City and at no additional cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform
any tests required by City to verify that such defective or nonconforming condition has
been corrected. Contractor warrants the corrective action taken against defective and
nonconforming conditions for a period of an additional one (1) year from the date of City’s
acceptance of the corrective action.
d. Contractor and its sureties are liable for the satisfaction and full
performance of all warranties.
e. Contractor shall give its personal attention to the faithful prosecution of the
completion of the Construction Project and Contractor, or its duly authorized representative
assigned to serve as the Construction Project Manager, shall be personally present at the
site of the Construction Project during working hours for the term of this Agreement until
the completion of the Construction Project.
f. Contractor shall have a complete, accurate, and up-to-date set of
construction plans, drawings, and specifications on site at all times.

lights, guards, signs, temporary passages, or other protections necessary for that purpose at
all times.
i. All work must be performed at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor shall
promptly repair or replace all damage and loss at its sole cost and expense regardless of the
reason or cause of the damage or loss; provided, however, should the damage or loss be
249
Construction Agreement for Relocation of Slash Piles
Page 5 of 16
caused by an intentional or negligent act of the City, the risk of such loss shall be placed
on the City.
j. Contractor is responsible for any loss or damage to materials, tools, or other
articles used or held for use in the completion of performance of the Construction Project.
k. Contractor’s performance must be without damage or disruption to any
other work or property of the City or of others and without interference with the operation
of existing machinery or equipment.
l. Title to all work, materials, and equipment covered by any payment of
Contractor’s compensation by City, whether directly incorporated into the Construction
Project or not, passes to City at the time of payment, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.
10. Delays and Extensions of Time: If Contractor’s performance of this Agreement
is prevented or delayed by any unforeseen cause beyond the control of the Contractor, including
acts or omissions of the City, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of the commencement of any
such delay, give the City written notice thereof. Further, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of
the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the cause of the
delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a result of the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration of the delay
and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the delay is caused by
the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor’s performance, Contractor shall make
no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided by
reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience for
any reason, suspend the performance of all or any portion of the work to be performed on
the Construction Project (“Notice of Suspension”). The Notice of Suspension shall set
forth the time of suspension, if then known to the City. During the period of suspension,
Contractor shall use its best efforts to minimize costs associated with the suspension.
b. Upon Contractor’s receipt of any Notice of Suspension, unless the notice
requires otherwise, Contractor shall: (1) immediately discontinue work on the date and to
the extent specified in the Notice of Suspension; (2) place no further orders or subcontracts
for materials, services, or equipment; (3) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain
suspension upon terms satisfactory to City of all orders, subcontracts, and rental
agreements to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work suspended; and (4)
continue to protect and maintain the Project, including those portions on which work has
been suspended.
250
Construction Agreement for Relocation of Slash Piles
Page 6 of 16
c. As compensation for the suspended work, Contractor will be reimbursed for
the following costs, reasonably incurred, without duplication of any item, and to the extent
that such costs directly resulted from the suspension: (1) a standby charge paid during the
period of suspension which will be sufficient to compensate Contractor for keeping, to the
extent required in the Notice of Suspension, Contractor’s organization and equipment
committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs for the
demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an equitable
amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project during the
period of suspension; and (4) an equitable adjustment in the cost of performing the
remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension, the
cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the Construction
Project has increased or decreased.
d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
(“Notice to Resume Work”), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit a revised
Construction Schedule for the City’s review and approval. Contractor’s failure to timely
make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.
e. No compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be paid and no extension
of time to complete the Construction Project shall be granted if the suspension results from
Contractor’s non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of this
Agreement.
12. Termination for Contractor’s Fault:
a. If Contractor refuses or fails to timely do the work, or any part thereof, or
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise breaches any
terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall be
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of a
lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s compensation exceeds the cost to the City
of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third parties
retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative costs
resulting from the termination (“City’s Cost for Completion”), such excess shall be paid to
251
Construction Agreement for Relocation of Slash Piles
Page 7 of 16
the Contractor. If the City’s Cost for Completion exceeds the unpaid balance of the
Contractor’s compensation, then Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay
the difference, plus interest at the rate applicable to court judgments, to the City.
c. Any termination provided for by this Section 12 shall be in addition to any
other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.
d. In the event of termination under this Section 12, Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the City,
make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, the City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any claims
that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred costs
for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that any
materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s sole
property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
252
Construction Agreement for Relocation of Slash Piles
Page 8 of 16
14. Limitation on Contractor’s Damages; Time for Asserting Claim:
a. In the event of a claim for damages by Contractor under this Agreement,
Contractor’s damages shall be limited to contract damages and Contractor hereby expressly
waives any right to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature or kind.
b. In the event Contractor wants to assert a claim for damages of any kind or
nature, Contractor shall provide City with written notice of its claim, the facts and
circumstances surrounding and giving rise to the claim, and the total amount of damages
sought by the claim, within ten (10) days of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the
claim. In the event Contractor fails to provide such notice, Contractor shall waive all rights
to assert such claim.

Agreement shall be _Brian Heaston, PE or such other individual as City shall designate in

Contractor Narrative
Advantage Landcare has been providing snow removal within the city of Bozeman since 2008. Before
that Patrick Doran & Steve Lee (owners) were working for a local company providing snow removal for
the previous 6 years. As owners of the company, we are directly involved with our snow removal

that it must be completed in a consistent, timely, and professional manner. Our services include

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Bob Murray, Project Engineer
Shawn Kohtz, City Engineer
Nick Ross, Transportation and Engineering Director
SUBJECT:Resolution 5536 Authorizing Change Order 2 with Treasure State Inc. for the
Cottonwood Road Oak to Baxter Project
MEETING DATE:September 26, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Resolution 5536 authorizing Change Order No. 2 with Treasure State Inc. for
the Cottonwood Road - Oak to Baxter Project.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:Attached is a copy of resolution 5536 and change order number 2 for the
above referenced project. The change order includes three items. In several
locations throughout the project, the excavation revealed unsuitable
material below the road subgrade that needed to be removed and replaced.
This material was saturated clay that could not be compacted and attempts
at drying in place proved unsuccessful. Leaving this material in place would
have likely caused premature failure of the roadway. One of the items in
this change order is for the removal and replacement of this unsuitable
material with imported pit run gravel. In one location, the material could
not be removed due to a conflict with an existing gas line. In this location a
geosynthetic fabric was added to reinforce and stabilize the existing
material.
The final item in the change order involves the work to be done on the
property at the northeast corner of Baxter and Cottonwood. The city
purchased easements across this property for the road improvements from
a previous owner. Part of the agreement was that the City would remove
and reset the existing fence on the new easement line. The new owners of
the property do not want he fence reset. This item is for a credit from the
contractor to eliminate the resetting of the fence which we will in turn credit
back to the property owner.
There is also an increase in contract time of 7 calendar days. The final
recommended change in cost and time for these items is reasonable and
commensurate with the work involved.

UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Increase of $108,919 from 8,075,004.18 to 8,183,923.18 (Project Number

Description of the Funding Request in Relation to Commission Priorities and/or Citizen
Benefit
Bridgercare’s mission is to provide excellent, affordable reproductive and sexual healthcare and education in a safe,
supportive, empowering atmosphere. We’re seeking $30,000 for our integrated behavioral healthcare services and
$10,000 for our trio of LGBTQ+ training programs. Integrated Behavioral Healthcare: Gallatin County has high rates
of mental illness: 31.5% of adults have chronic depression symptoms and the suicide rate is 23.5 per 100,000
(versus 13.9 nationally). For many patients, Bridgercare is the only place they access healthcare, making it crucial to
address physical and mental health. Patients work with a Care Manager, access a psychiatrist, and receive
comprehensive mental healthcare. Because many patients are uninsured/underinsured or rely on our sliding fee
scale, they would otherwise not have access to services and mental health concerns would go untreated. This
program provides low-cost counseling and mental health support, leading to earlier detection and diagnosis, and
increased likelihood of successful treatment. LGBTQ+ Trainings: There is little training in healthcare and education
fields on meeting the needs of LGBTQ+ people in an affirming, informed way. This lack of knowledge can prevent
LGBTQ+ people from seeking healthcare or feeling safe at school: 1 in 5 transgender patients has been denied
healthcare and 12.5% of LGBTQ+ students didn’t go to school at least once in the last month due to safety concerns.
We provide LGBTQ+ Healthcare Allies, Educational Allies, and Everyday Allies trainings for medical professionals,
teachers, and community members to help them to understand the unique health and educational needs of
LGBTQ+ populations, and to give concrete strategies, tools, and ongoing support in addressing these needs in a
respectful, affirming way. Trainings create safe spaces, increase knowledge, and identify micro-aggressions to
improve physical and mental health, educational outcomes, and safety for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Bernie Massey, Assistant Treasurer
Laurae Clark, City Treasurer
Melissa Hodnett, Finance Director
SUBJECT:Resolution 5514 Annual Assessment for Business Improvement District (BID)
for Fiscal Year 2024
MEETING DATE:September 26, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Approve Commission Resolution No. 5514
STRATEGIC PLAN:7.5. Funding and Delivery of City Services: Use equitable and sustainable
sources of funding for appropriate City services, and deliver them in a lean
and efficient manner.
BACKGROUND:Montana Code Annotated Title 7 Chapter 12 Part 11 allows for the creation
of business improvement districts that will serve a public use, promote the
health, safety, prosperity, security, and general welfare of the inhabitants of
the district and of the people of this state, be of special benefit to the
property within the boundaries of the district, or aid in tourism, promotion,
and marketing within the district. The Downtown Bozeman Business
Improvement District (BID) has a stated goal of ensuring the long-term
preservation and vitality of the city’s underlying economic, cultural, social,
and environmental assets.
The BID was originally founded in 2000, expanded in 2006, renewed in 2010,
and renewed again in 2020. BID revenues are derived from an annual
assessment based on each property’s portion of the district’s taxable value.
The BID is overseen by a board appointed by the City Commission. BID
monies support numerous programs including the summer flower baskets,
holiday lighting, graffiti removal, and year-round maintenance employees.
As prescribed by Montana Code Annotated 7-12-1132, the Commission was
presented on May 16, 2023 with the Downtown Business Improvement
District (BID) work plan and budget which proposed $230,000 in assessments
to downtown business owners. On July 11, 2023 the City Commission
adopted the FY24 budget, consistent with the work plan and budget
presented. Resolution 5514 formally levies and assesses the special
assessment upon all real property in the business improvement district to
defray the estimated cost and expense to be incurred as outlined in the work
333
plan and budget.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The assessments proposed are consistent with the FY24 adopted budget and
the Downtown BID work plan and budget presented to the Commission on
May 16, 2023. The downtown businesses within the business improvement
district will be billed based on their assessed taxable value as it relates to the
taxable valuation of the whole district. The assessment rate in said business
improvement district shall be set to ensure $230,000.00 is billed. This rate
for FY 2024 is 0.016574 per taxable valuation.

and efficient manner.
BACKGROUND:Letters were sent out prior to July 7, 2023, on all delinquent accounts

town. The notice must specify the assessment owing and in arrears at the
time of giving notice. The notice must be in writing and must state the
amount of arrearage, including any penalty and interest assessed pursuant
to the provisions of the city or town ordinance, and that unless the amount
is paid within 30 days of the notice, the amount will be levied as a tax against
the lot or parcel of real estate to which sewer or water service was furnished
and for which payment is delinquent. The notice must also state that the city
or town may by suit collect past-due assessments, interest, and penalties, as
a debt owing the city or town, in any court of competent jurisdiction,
including city court. The notice may be delivered to the owner personally or
by letter addressed to the owner at the post-office address of the owner as
shown in property tax records maintained by the department of revenue.
(3) (a) Except as provided in subsection (3)(b), at the time that the annual

penalty and interest. The department of revenue shall insert the amount as
a tax against the lot or parcel of real estate.
(b) In cities where the council has provided by ordinance for the
collection of taxes, the city treasurer shall collect the delinquent amount,
including penalty and interest, as a tax against the lot or parcel of real estate
to which sewer or water service was furnished and payment for which is
delinquent.
(4) A city or town may, in addition to pursuing the collection of
assessments in the same manner as a tax, bring suit in any court of
competent jurisdiction, including city court, to collect the amount due and
owing, including penalties and interest, as a debt owing the city or town.
BMC 32.02.060 Costs of Collection and Disposal – Collection and Payment –

monthly fees and those fees shall be included on the monthly water and
sewer statement and will become delinquent if not paid by the 15th of the
month in which the bill is received. If the monthly fees are not paid within
thirty days after they have become delinquent the delinquent amount shall
be a lien against the property against which they are severally assessed and
levied until paid and discharged and shall be subject to the same penalties
for delinquency in payment when due and payable as are other special
assessments and levies made by the City and as authorized by the laws of
the state.
BMC 40.04.1050. - Billing of charges; penalties for late payment and
procedure to collect. Stormwater service charges authorized by this section

MCA 7-13-4309.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Bernie Massey, Assistant Treasurer
Laurae Clark, City Treasurer
Melissa Hodnett, Finance Director
SUBJECT:Resolution 5516 Levy and Assess Delinquent Snow Removal Charges
MEETING DATE:September 26, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Approve Commission Resolution No. 5516
STRATEGIC PLAN:7.5. Funding and Delivery of City Services: Use equitable and sustainable
sources of funding for appropriate City services, and deliver them in a lean
and efficient manner.
BACKGROUND:Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) 34.06 requires that property owners clear
or treat snow and ice on sidewalks.
In response to citizen complaints, a City Code Compliance Officer delivers
notices to properties who are out of compliance. If the occupants do not
respond to the notice by the date indicated, the city contracts for the
removal of the snow and ice on their behalf. Property owners are then
billed for the actual costs plus administrative charges incurred by the City of
Bozeman. Resolution 5516 formally levies and assesses any unpaid bills for
the 2022-2023 winter season.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:City budgets include contracted services for snow removal and associated
revenue as is consistent with BMC. The delinquent charges proposed to be
assessed would recover $7,743.60 of expenses already incurred by the City.

I’m passionate about the role of transit in creating sustainable, livable, and equitable
cities, and would like to enact that passion through service on the GVUTD board. Transit
is vitally important to the communities it serves. In the fast-growing Gallatin Valley,
transit not only serves the needs of the existing community and also informs the future
transportation choices for a growing community. Transit provides lifeline transportation
for many community members to work or other destinations. From a planning
perspective, transit solves an essential geometry problem: sustainable cities simply
cannot allocate adequate physical space to transportation infrastructure to allow
everyone to meet all of their transportation needs in personal automobiles. Buses
greatly multiply the amount of transportation that can be provided for a given amount of
physical infrastructure. Sustainable cities must provide compelling alternatives to driving
alone for all trips, and transit plays an essential role in this.

Please describe a time when you disagreed with a fellow board member or a co-worker. How did you

please describe the situation and how you resolved it.
I work in transportation planning professionally and have a strong personal
interested in seeing the Gallatin Valley have a robust and effective transit system. I
believe that I can contribute to the Gallatin Valley Urban Transportation District board
drawing from my professional experience working in transportation planning and my
prior involvement with Bozeman-area long-range land use planning as a member of
the Bozeman Planning Board (and coauthor of the current adopted Bozeman
Community Plan). I regularly attend and contribute to professional conferences on
transportation and transportation planning, am published in the Transportation
Research Record and the Journal of Public Transportation, and have ample board
member experience.

Member, GVLT NextGen Advisory Board, April 2021 – Dec. 2021
I have found that timely and candid communication is the best strategy for
resolving conflict. I could cite numerous recent examples of conflict with
coworkers that was quickly resolved by meeting with the coworker, stating
my perspective, and asking for theirs.
