It was moved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Smiley, that the absence of Commissioner Frost from this meeting be approved in compliance with Section 7-3-4322(2), M.C.A. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Brown, Commissioner Smiley, Commissioner Kirchhoff, and Mayor Youngman; those voting No, none. Reauest for extension of lease for Emerson/Beall Park Art Center to June 2003 . Included in the Commissioners' packets was a letter from the Emerson at Beall Park Art Center requesting extension of their lease, along with a memo from Superintendent of Facilities and Lands James Goehrung. Superintendent Goehrung referred the Commissioners to his memo, dated December 29, 1999, in which he expressed his concerns regarding the costs of the needed repairs, and how those costs would be divided between the City and the Emerson at Beall Park Art Center. The City has received a request from the Center for extension of the lease for a two-year period. The Center has invested considerable time and money into this building, with the City's responsibility generally being the care and maintenance of the grounds. Ms. Gwen Arnesen, Executive Director of the Emerson at Beall Park Art Center, was present to explain their request for extension of the lease. The long-range plan of the Center is to eventually move all their programs to the Emerson Cultural Center building, but until they raise the funds necessary to create space at Emerson for all their programs, they would like to remain at Beall Park. In answer to a question from Commissioner Kirchhoff, the Executive Director replied that no programs will be moved to the Emerson at this point; all current programs held at Beall Park will remain there because of space limitations. She noted the Beall Park Arts Center provides . an ideal setting for the art programs. Interest in programming offered there has increased dramatically in the past year and a half, and they feel they cannot deny the community these programs at this point. Superintendent Goehrung stated that in 1984 the City made arrangements for the Art Center to use the Beall Park building. Originally, the lease was a five.year lease, with an extension of another five-year period granted; and recently the lease has been renewed on a yearly basis. The building does need immediate work to the exterior to prevent further deterioration. Mr. Goehrung then presented a summary of the work and money put into the Beall Park building by the Art Center. The Center has spent approximately $34,000 on this 01-03-2000 - 2 - building since its occupancy in 1984. The original lease agreement required a $1.00 payment, with the understanding that the Emerson would take care of the building and the City would take care of grounds. Superintendent Goehrung reminded the Commissioners that the original agreement required that, when the lease expires, the Art Center is to return the building to the City in a state similar to when it was acquired. He stated the Commission needs to decide if it is willing to extend the lease for the time requested by the Arts Center, and staff needs guidance on how to divide the major improvements since it is a City facility. . City Manager Johnson reminded the Commissioners that they had previously heard in budget presentations, and they will hear again from the Recreation Department, that they wish to occupy this space, since they have consistently requested a larger space from which to run their programs. A decision needs to be made if the Commission intends for the Recreation Department to occupy this space or if the City needs to find another space for the Recreation Department. He stressed that if the Commission approves the requested extension to June 2003, staff will need to pursue another location for the Recreation Department. He suggested the Commission may want to extend the lease to 2002, and recognized that if the Emerson is going to make a further substantial financial contribution to the repair of this building, in all fairness they need to be granted more than a one-year lease extension. Mayor Youngman suggested that the Commission consider less than three years, so the Recreation Department can be assured of having a larger space available in the foreseeable future. She then asked the City Manager if the Recreation Department can manage with a two- year time frame, which will allow the Emerson enough time to move without hurting their programs. Commissioner Smiley stated she would support a two-year lease, but asked that staff establish the maintenance costs for both a one-year and a two-year lease. Commissioner Brown added his thoughts that replacing the roof will be expensive, as . will repair of the stone work; and if the City is expecting a large outlay of money from the Emerson for repairs, the Art Center should be guaranteed a two-year lease. Responding to questions from Ms. Arnesen, City Manager Johnson stated that each party's responsibilities will be identified in negotiations for the lease extension. It was moved by Commissioner Smiley, seconded by Commissioner Kirchhoff, that staff be directed to negotiate an agreement for a two-year extension of the lease for the Emerson Beall Park Art Center, to expire on January 31, 2002, and to develop an agreed-upon maintenance agreement. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Smiley, Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Brown and Mayor Youngman; those voting No, none. Responding to questions and concerns raised by Ms. Arnesen, Mayor Youngman noted that the actual move date can be negotiated if necessary due to winter conditions. Presentation re conversion to automated water meter readers - Proiect Enaineer Finke and Water/Sewer Sucerintendent Certalic Project Engineer Karen Finke briefly reviewed the history of the automated meter reading . project, which began in February 1999 with the receipt of four proposals for a telephone meter reading system. She stated the project includes the replacement of 6,700 water meters, for services ranging in size from 3/4-inch to 8-inch. She stated that the hardware and software must interface with the City's computer system, and training for staff is part of the overall project. The Project Engineer stated that after the committee ranked the four proposals received, they interviewed the top two candidates. As a result of those interviews and contacting communities of similar size with similar weather conditions, the committee has identified the 01-03-2000 - ... -------- - 3 - proposal it feels is in the City's best interests; and that proposal is for slightly under $1.1 million. Water/Sewer Superintendent Mike Certalic noted that in February 1998, the Commission appropriated $65,000 for acquisition of an automated meter reading system. He noted that this type of system will minimize the exposure of City personnel to inclement weather and dogs, and will help to increase efficiency. He stated that this system will result in easier and quicker detection of leaks and allow existing staff to pursue a proactive cross-connection program. . The Water/Sewer Superintendent stated that, since 1992, the City has experienced an increase of 1,850 accounts, with no additional meter reading personnel being hired since 1978. While the meter readers have taken the increased workload in stride, the meter rotation program has been significantly reduced. He stated the AWWA standards previously reflected that a meter should be rotated out at least every fifteen years, and the new standards are for rotating out every ten years. The Water/Sewer Superintendent stated the cost of implementing the automated meter reading system is to be borne by the developers of all new subdivisions, as part of the conditions of approval, while the costs of retrofitting existing services are to be borne by the City, with the increased revenues from the accuracy of the new meters and the increased efficiencies eventually covering those costs. The Water/Sewer Superintendent asked the Commission to be progressive and proactive by endorsing this project, characterizing the system as being technologically advantageous as well as economically beneficial to the City. Responding to Commissioner Brown, Water/Sewer Superintendent Certalic indicated that the automated water meter reading system will not reduce current staffing levels, but will allow those employees to undertake a cross-connection program and a backflow protection program. . City Manager Johnson reminded the Commissioners that this is not a new subject; it has been a work-in-progress for a few years, and the Commission will need to make a decision during the budgeting process. Staff Dresentation re imDact fee Droaram/credits Included in the Commissioners' packets was a memo from Associate Planner Chris Saunders dated December 29 and, distributed just prior to the meeting, was a copy of Ordinance No. 1471, which includes the latest revisions to the manner in which the program is administered. Associate Planner Saunders reviewed the outline included in his memo, providing background information on the program, the capital improvements program, impact fee credits, and the appeals process. He reminded the Commission that the impact fee program was adopted in January 1996, based on studies completed by an outside consultant in 1995, and became effective in March 1996. Since that time, the program has been amended four times. The Associate Planner reminded the Commission that impact fees cannot be used to address existing deficiencies or for operations and maintenance; rather, they are to be used for new or capacity-expanding infrastructure. He also stressed that the assessment of those fees . must meet two principal tests: rational nexus and rough proportionality. The Associate Planner stated that impact fees have been established for streets, water, wastewater and fire. Each impact fee has its own fund and its own capital improvement program; and those monies may not be mixed or spent on another activity or program. He reviewed the capital improvements program, how projects are identified and prioritized, and how projects qualify for the expenditure of funds. He stated that the Commission is to approve the capital improvements program annually, and may amend the listing of projects when deemed appropriate. He characterized this as one of the City's most effective tools for implementing the master plan and encouraging growth in a specific area of the community. 01-03-2000 - __. __. ._____..___..._____u__ - 4 - Associate Planner Saunders stated that, to date, three water projects, one wastewater project, and the installation of one traffic signal have been completed through the use of impact fee monies, along with other funding sources. He stated that, to be eligible for an impact fee credit, a project must be on the capital improvement program priority list, and must be undertaken by a private party prior to the City doing so. He noted that this allows a developer to proceed with a qualifying project on his own time, rather than waiting for the City's timeline without absorbing all of the costs if the project is not entirely for that development. He identified the three options for receiving credits, including (1) the checkbook style, under which the developer carries a balance with the City until it is fully used, (2) lump sum cash pay-out . and (3) cash pay-out over a period of time not to exceed ten years. The Associate Planner said that the City has received three requests for credits. One of those requests was approved, one is currently being processed and one was withdrawn. Associate Planner Saunders briefly highlighted the appeals process. He concluded by noting that, to date, the City has received six appeals. He stated that in three of those appeals, the staff's position was upheld, one was resolved in favor of the appellant, and two of them in process. The Commission thanked the Associate Planner for his presentation. Discussion re Joint DisDatch Center fundina/coverage of law and Justice Center window Included in the Commissioners' packets was a memo from City Manager Johnson, dated December 16. City Manager Johnson gave the Commissioners a brief reminder of decisions previously made. He noted the Gallatin County Commissioners had agreed that funding for staffing of the window at the law and Justice Center on a 24-hours-per day, 7 days-per-week basis was a top priority. Also, moving the speaker and the button to ground level was identified as a high . priority. He noted the City's funding was to be included in the Police Department budget, and the County's was funded through the Sheriff's Department budget. He stated the result was funding for four additional people, for a total of five people. He noted that, to date, only two additional people have been hired, and the window is now staffed from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., 7 days a week. The City Manager recognized that the currently level of staffing does not meet the Commission's direction, and suggested that that failure is due, in part, to the 9-1-1 Administrative Board's failure to direct the Director to fill those positions. He noted, rather, that his review has revealed 1 Y2 FTE has been diverted to additional dispatchers. He asked that the Commission either reaffirm its previous decision or give staff direction to reduce the level of staffing for the window. Responding to Commissioner Smiley, the City Manager stated that the button and speaker have either been moved or will be moved soon; and the handicapped accessible entrance at the north end of the building is now equipped with a button and speaker. He then indicated that the signage on North 19th Avenue will be changed in the near future, if it is not already changed. Commissioner Smiley stated that, as one who has had to try to gain access to the Law and Justice Center in the middle of the night, she recognizes the problems and frustrations that . can be encountered, particularly by those who do not know the system as well as she does. She characterized the move to the Law and Justice Center as one which made the staff safe, but does not provide protection for residents of the community, particularly those who may be fleeing from danger. She concluded by reaffirming her position that the window needs to be staffed 24 hours a day. Mayor Youngman noted one of the concerns expressed by former Commissioner Rudberg was that someone in physical danger in the middle of the night would be unable to get assistance in time. 01-03-2000 - 5 - Commissioner Smiley voiced her opinion that the staff at the law and Justice Center does not work together for the good of the public; rather, they work together in their own best interests. She noted that, years ago, when she went to the third floor of the Courthouse late at night, someone from the Sheriff's Office would be calling within five minutes to find out what she as doing. She noted that same concern does not seem to exist in the law and Justice Center. Responding to Mayor Youngman, the City Manager stated that two people work in the Records Department, which is adjacent to the window, during the day; and they can man it . during their work hours. He noted that Sheriff Slaughter has identified ways in which his department's personnel can be relocated to provide greater coverage of the window without hiring additional people. He then indicated that he is still in concurrence with the Commission's original decision that the window be staffed on a constant basis. Commissioner Brown stated he does not have all the information he needs to make a decision; however, he is very concerned about the staffing level in the 9-1-1 dispatch center. He recognized the importance of providing access to the building, and indicated that he favors flexibility in how the monies for staffing are used. He noted that, while he recognizes the importance of getting closer to full-time staffing of the window, he is not insistent that that level of staffing be provided. Commissioner Smiley stated she wants the staffing level as close to 24 hours a day as possible, stressing the importance of providing protection for the public. Responding to Commissioner Kirchhoff, City Manager Johnson stated that when this issue was previously discussed, the County Commissioners agreed that the window should be staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He noted that this discussion occurred after the City's budget process was nearly complete, but monies were added to cover the additional two staff members. He then reiterated that it appears the four additional personnel have been hired, but a portion of those personnel have been hired in the dispatch area. . The Commissioners voiced their views that the window should be staffed as close to 24 hours a day as possible. Commissioner Smiley stated she does not want to reward 9-1-1 by allowing the hiring of additional dispatch personnel, particularly since they have not provided the statistical data previously requested. It was moved by Commissioner Kirchhoff, seconded by Commissioner Smiley, that the Commission direct the City Manager to write a letter to the County Commission reaffirming the City's previous agreement to fund the staffing of the window, and not authorize the moving of 1 ViI FTEs to communications. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Kirchhoff, Commissioner Smiley and Mayor Youngman; those voting no, none. Commissioner Brown abstained.

Discussion re "smart arowth" interim zone code provisions and timeline for consideration Andy Epple, Planning Director, referred the Commissioners to his memo regarding possible smart growth initiatives, dated December 29, 1999, which was included in the Commissioners' packets. He reminded the Commissioners that this discussion is the result of Commission direction to staff to investigate possible interim zone code changes while more comprehensive growth policies are being developed. His memo included seven items that could be considered for possible inclusion in an interim smart growth ordinance, as follows: . 1. Reduced yard setbacks under certain conditions, except that attached or detached garages would need to adhere to a traditional front yard setback, and would have to be set at least four feet behind the front of the principal portion of the residence. 2. Special setback requirements from ridgelines and parks. 3. Expanded opportunities for home-based occupations through an abbreviated CUP process. 01-03-2000 -- -.--.---- - 7 - 4.

He reminded the Commissioners that at the January 18, 2000 meeting they will receive a proposal to extend the present ordinance the City is operating under for one year. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the items presented on Director Epple's memo, with Commissioners asking questions and Director Epple responding to their inquiries. Break - 4:50 to 4:57 D.m. Mayor Youngman declared a break from 4:50 p.m. to 4:57 p.m., in accordance with Commission policy.

Identify the redundant questions in the PUD process and streamline it to eliminate the redundancies. 10. Require that all groundwater testing be done during the periods of highest groundwater levels. A member of the public expressed his desire to comment at this time. Mayor Youngman acknowledged that public input is necessary and is always welcome at the public hearings on issues; but stated this is a preliminary discussion between the Commission and staff, with public input being received at a future meeting. At the conclusion of the discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Smiley, that the Commission approve the guidelines per the discussion above, and that staff be directed to prepare amendments to the interim zone code for Commission consideration.
