RESOLUTION 2025-51
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
REPEALING SECTION 3 OF CITY COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 3954 RELATED TO THE 911
EMERGENCY SERVICES LEVY
WHEREAS, in 2006, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 3954 to support a
countywide 9-1-1 Emergency Services levy and reduce the City’s General Fund mill levy by 9 mills;
and
WHEREAS, Section 3 of Resolution No. 3954 directed that the 9-mill reduction continue
each year for as long as 9-1-1 services were funded by a source other than the City’s General
Fund; and
WHEREAS, budget and taxation are legislative matters, and no prior City Commission may
bind future Commissions in setting levy rates or determining budgets; and
WHEREAS, changes by the Montana legislature have reduced the City’s General Fund
revenues, particularly for Police and Fire services, creating a need for flexibility in setting the mill
levy; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission finds it is in the public interest to repeal Section 3 of
Resolution No. 3954 to allow future Commissions to determine levy levels annually based on
current public safety and fiscal priorities;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman,
Montana, that Section 3 of Resolution No. 3954 (2006) is hereby repealed.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
CONSUMER DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Bozeman (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below carefully and
thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to
these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the ‘I agree’ button at the
bottom of this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign ‘Withdraw Consent’ form on the signing page of a
DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your
consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer
be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from
us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
