The Commission of the City of Bozeman met in agenda meeting and work session in the Commission Room, Municipal Building, on Monday, December 28, 1998, at 3:00 p.m. Present were Mayor Stiff, Commissioner Smiley, Commissioner Rudberg, Commissioner Frost, City Manager Johnson, Assistant City Manager Brey, Staff Attorney Cooper and Clerk of the Commission Sullivan. Commissioner Youngman was absent. Agenda Meeting - for regular meetina and Dublic hearings to be held on Januarv 4. 1999 Since this is an agenda meeting, only those issues requiring staff action are contained in the minutes. City Manager Johnson briefly reviewed the background information which was included . in the Commissioners' packets. (10) Associate Planner John Sherman stated that Mr. Rutledge was called out of town over the holidays and was, therefore, unable to attend the Design Review Board meeting. He noted that, at the applicant's request, the public hearings on this application have been continued to January 12 before the Design Review Board and February 1 before the City Commission. (12) Historic Preservation Planner Strahn gave a brief overview of this application, which includes deviations to allow conversion of an existing basement into an apartment on a lot which is too narrow for a second living unit, and to allow parking requirements to be met. He stated that, while staff supports both deviations, he has identified issues regarding parking in the immediate area. He then indicated that under the recommended conditions of approval, . staff will be given an option on how to address the parking issue. (13) Assistant Planner Joni Killebrew reminded the Commission that the applicant has requested a waiver of the cash-in-lieu of water rights for a portion of the Comstock Apartment project, and a copy of that letter has been attached to the staff report. She noted that Mr. 12-28-98 - 2 - Dabney has agreed to pay the fees for 34 apartments but has requested a waiver on the remaining 26 units. Responding to the City Manager, Assistant Planner Killebrew stated that if the Commission chooses not to require the payment of street impact fees and fire impact fees . immediately upon annexation, that provision must be removed from the annexation agreement. She then indicated that no official request has been submitted regarding this issue, but she anticipates it may arise on Monday evening. (14) City Manager Johnson stated that the applicant has now been notified about the staff's recommendations. Commissioner Rudberg stated that she visited Dr. Hecht and informed him ofthe staff's recommendation. She noted that Dr. Hecht feels the "no parking" signs have accomplished what his request was designed to do, and he is willing to leave the situation as it is as long as the "no parking" signs remain effective. Responding to Commissioner Rudberg, the Clerk of the Commission assured her that she will contact the neighbors to let them know they do not need to attend the meeting next week. . Roll Call. Pledae of Alleaiance and Moment of Silence The meeting was opened with the roll call, Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. Authorize absence of Commissioner Youngman from this meetina. in comDliance with Section 7-3-4322(2), M.C.A. It was moved by Commissioner Smiley, seconded by Commissioner Rudberg, that Commissioner Youngman's absence from this meeting be authorized 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 Smiley, Commissioner Rudberg, Commissioner Frost and Mayor Stiff; . those voting No. none. Break - 3:15 to 3:18 D.m. Mayor Stiff declared a break from 3: 15 p.m. to 3: 18 p.m., to give the City Manager an opportunity to connect Commissioner Youngman to the meeting via conference telephone. 12-28-98 _ _n_ - 3 - Work Session - Presentations for Fiscal Year 1999-2000 budgeting Drocess Recreation and Pools. Included in the Commissioners' packets was an information sheet prepared by Recreation Superintendent Sue Harkin. Recreation Superintendent Harkin stated that she oversees the budget units for . Recreation, the Swim Center and Bogert Pool. She indicated that no changes are requested in the amount budgeted for salaries except for an increase in the pay matrix for lifeguards. She noted that the salary for that position has not been adjusted since 1994, and with the help of an increased salary, a marketing program and careful scheduling, she hopes to attract and retain lifeguards next year. She stated that the amount for operating expenses will remain the same and noted that, in fact, operating expenses decreased $10,000 at the Swim Center and $9,000 at Bogert Pool between Fiscal Years 1997 and 1998 while the Swim Center revenues increased $20,000. Recreation Superintendent Harkin stated that recreation is about "more than just fun and games"; it has numerous benefits for individuals and the community. She indicated that the effectiveness of her department is measured, in part, by responses to the survey which she has . developed. She showed the Commission two notebooks full of responses to those surveys, noting that the department's goal is 85 percent effectiveness; and the survey results show that users are 100 percent satisfied with the recreation programs, 99.9 percent satisfied with Bogert Pool and 99 percent satisfied with the Swim Center. She noted that her department also uses the information from these surveys to make improvements in the department and programs. Recreation Superintendent Harkin stated that, on a nation-wide basis, recreation programs generate revenues to cover approximately 20 percent of their costs, and the goal of the national society is to raise that to 50 percent. She noted that, depending on weather, Bogert Pool is close to covering 100 percent of its costs and the Swim Center covers approximately 75 percent of its costs, while the recreation programs cover approximately 35 . percent of the costs. She suggested that revenues could be increased through joint ventures, using more volunteers and more user groups, and finding ways to bring more people into the facilities. The Recreation Superintendent stated it is important for her department to find ways to do things faster, cheaper, better and more conveniently, be honest and open, and learn from 12-28-98 - 4 . others to succeed in the future. She also suggested that facilities which generate revenues could be an important component in the department's future. The Recreation Superintendent noted it is important to continue assisting user groups to ensure the success of their programs. She then turned her attention to what the department . could quit doing, stating that the department should quit providing services which are otherwise offered in the community, citing ice skating lessons as an example. She also indicated her interest in no longer becoming involved in park crisis issues, such as the frisbee golf course, park master plans and answering letters about Farmer's Market. Responding to questions from Commissioner Rudberg, the Recreation Superintendent stated her lifeguards have noticed that children do not swim as well as they used to, when swimming lessons were provided through the schools. She also noted that there are fewer children registered in swimming lessons. She expressed concern that, while this trend has led to only a few more rescues at the pools each year, she is concerned that there will be more drownings outside the pools. Responding to Commissioner Smiley, City Manager Johnson stated it might be possible . for the City to consider becoming a partner for a smaller company seeking to provide a wellness program for its employees. He noted that when the City tried to team up with MSU, the School District or Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, he found the City was too small to be attractive to them. Responding to Commissioner Smiley, the Recreation Superintendent stated that check-in bags are available for pool users. She noted, however, that people don't lock up their belongs, despite the signs posted around the facility, and it is not uncommon for thefts to occur. Responding to City Manager Johnson, Recreation Superintendent Harkin stated she has not yet received a copy of the internal controls audit. She indicated, however, that she would be willing to consider the installation of a computer scan system for season pass holders and possibly some type of mechanical turnstyle system to ensure that those who enter the pool . area have paid the fees. At the City Manager's request, the Recreation Superintendent addressed the issue of hockey, stating that the City should be involved if it builds and operates the facility; otherwise, the user group should be responsible for it. She then stressed the City should ensure that as many facilities be provided as possible to keep people active, citing skateboard parks, 12-28-98 u_...un..._._ ___. ._u._ .._ - 5 - rollerblade areas and trails as other considerations. She then indicated that she has not seen these types of facilities as revenue generators, although steps can be taken to keep them from being revenue drains. She also noted that many places have shared facilities, where the staff may monitor and operate two facilities in one location. She then stated that at risk youth and . skateboard parks are the two top issues nationwide; and some communities have been able to attract COPS grant monies to construct recreational facilities for at risk youth. She indicated a willingness to pursue that type of funding for local facilities if the Commission so desires. Commissioner Smiley noted it is cheaper to fund recreational programs than to fund people in prison. She also noted that it would make sense to create a multi-faceted facility with many different options when construction of a new pool is considered. Recreation Superintendent Harkin identified a gymnasium, large outdoor play areas and a new outdoor swimming pool as the most pressing recreational needs at this time. She stated that Bogert Pool is past its prime, and many pools the age of the Swim Center are now being closed and torn down because they have passed their useful life. She stressed that, with a strong maintenance program, both pools have remained in use and looking good. . Responding to the City Manager, Recreation Program Director Mary Boling stated she receives numerous calls looking for a gymnasium for drop-in volleyball or basketball programs or for small children's basketball programs. She stated that the gyms attached to the schools are typically booked with school activities except for late evenings and Sundays. As a result, she has been sending people to gymnasiums located out of town. She then indicated that, depending on how the facilities are booked and used, they could possibly cover their own operating costs. Recreation Superintendent Sue Harkin stated she has made a commitment that any facility built in the future will be revenue generating. She then noted that the Lindley Center is now making money rather than costing the City money, and she feels a similar rental facility could also be successful in light of the demand for the existing facility for weddings and social . gatherings. City Manager Johnson stated it his intent to seek federal monies to possibly purchase up to 160 acres upon which to construct a swimming pool facility. He suggested that if a multi-faceted facility would be more appropriate, he can change the application slightly. 12-28-98 --.".-- .--- - 6 - Building Inspection. Chief Building Official Neil Poulsen distributed to the Commission a handout reflecting current and future issues. He noted that his department still has one inspector position vacant and, because of State requirements, he is encountering difficulties in filling the position. He stated that, if the current trends in building continue, an additional . inspector/plans examiner will be needed next fiscal year, to help the department meet its effectiveness and efficiency measures. The Building Official reminded the Commission that Building Inspection operates under a special revenue fund and is subject to both City and State guidelines and requirements. He stated that the 1997 edition of the Uniform Building Code was adopted on December 24, 1998, and his department is collecting only 59 percent of the fee schedule in that code to ensure compliance with the State's fiscal requirements. He noted that the department was audited by the Insurance Services Offices and received a rating of 4, which is higher than the 5 which the departments in the other large communities in Montana received. Chief Building Official Poulsen stated that a Fire/Life Safety Inspector has been hired, and he is currently making final inspections in conjunction with the commercial building inspector . as well as inspections associated with new and renewal business licenses. He indicated that, with the existing vacancy, the other inspectors and the plans examiner are being required to complete more reviews and inspections that has been identified as the desired level. The Chief Building Official stated that, based on current building levels, in the next two to five years, one more building inspector, one more fire/life safety inspector and one more counter person may be needed. He recognized that a downturn in development or loss of the extraterritorial jurisdictional area would eliminate the need for additional personnel. The Chief Building Official noted that the operating budget is currently adequate for the work being done. He noted that their computerization process has hit a snag, however, since it has been determined that the backbone information for the system is bad, with 1 in 503 entries being good. He noted that the web site for the Building Inspection Division is currently . informational only, but in the future, he would like to convert it to a vehicle for processing minor permits. He stated that he does a technical letter in the monthly SWMBIA magazine and a quarterly newsletter. He characterized these as training vehicles for those involved in the building industry, which can be translated into savings for both the builder and the City. He also noted that his department holds pre-construction meetings, through which deficiencies are 12-28-98 - 7 - identified early in the process. He also noted that seminars on recent code updates, an information booth at BACC II and a spring trade show at Simkins Hallin provided educational opportunities for his department. He then indicated that 2 percent of his budget has been earmarked for training, as required by the Insurance Services Office. . Commissioner Smiley suggested that the Planning Department could take advantage of publishing letters or articles in the SWMBIA magazine. Chief Building Official Poulsen stated that one vehicle has already been replaced in the department, and he is awaiting State bids to replace another. He noted that another vehicle is to be replaced next fiscal year and, if a new building inspector is hired, the purchase of another vehicle will be necessary. He then forwarded his intent to change vehicles and copiers on a rotational basis. The Chief Building Official concluded his report by reviewing the statistical information on building permits issued in the city and the extraterritorial area during 1997 and 1998 as well as the number of inspections made by each inspector and how well the performance measures are being met. He noted that the statistics for this year are higher than they were for last year, . and stressed the importance of recognizing that this has created an extra load on his employees. City Manager Clark Johnson noted that a bill pertaining to building inspection in the extraterritorial area is being introduced into the upcoming legislative session by Bruce Simon from Billings and, if it passes, the bill would become effective immediately unless it is amended. He expressed concerns about the bill and indicated his intent to lobby against the bill. The Chief Building Official noted that legislation on affordable housing, as being forwarded by Bruce Simon, could also impact how his department does its business. Responding to Commissioner Rudberg, the Chief BUilding Official stated that the new office is working well for both his department and the Fire Department, since they share many common interests. . Further responding to Commissioner Rudberg, Fire Chief Aaron Holst stated that the inspections being conducted by the Fire/Life Safety Inspector are different from those being conducted by the fire crews. Commissioner Rudberg asked if there is any way to keep the staff from becoming 12-28-98 - - --- -.--- -.-..------.--.-.--------- - 8 - extremely overburdened with the glut of applications that are anticipated just prior to the increase in impact fees. Assistant City Manager Brey noted that, once the applications have been received, the City has a procedure for handling them. He stressed that this procedure will still be followed, . even with the effective date of increased impact fees. recognizing that it will take time to dig out from under the number of applications received. The City Manager suggested that projects which are not to be constructed for a while could be assigned a lower priority in an effort to process those with higher priority. Responding to Commissioner Smiley, the Chief Building Official stated that his department has customer feedback forms available at the counter. He noted that they also send a postcard to those projects completed during the first week of each month, soliciting their feedback. Break - 4:31 to 4:35 D.m. Mayor Stiff declared a break from 4:31 p.m. to 4:35 p.m., in accordance with . Commission policy. Work Session (continued) - Presentations for Fiscal Year 1999-2000 budgetina Drocess Director of Public Service/Engineering. City Engineer Craig Brawner distributed an information sheet to the Commission. He noted that the figures in the document are based on last year, since budget information for this fiscal year is not yet available. He noted that this department has a total of 11.7 FTEs, 5.65 of which are paid through the General Fund, and 6.05 FTEs of which are paid from a multitude of other funds. He noted that the Engineering Department has four engineer positions in addition to the City Engineer, because of the City Commission's authorization last year to add one position in light of the need to commit one full- time engineer to the landfill. He noted that the new position remains vacant, but he anticipates . it will be filled in the next month or so. He reminded the Commission that an engineering aide position was added a couple of years ago, and that individual has been responsible for field inspections on infrastructure improvements. He noted that the addition of this position has freed the engineering assistant's time, so he has been able to complete some of engineering and inspection work in-house. He stated that, on the recent improvements to South 19th 12-28-98 - 9 - Avenue, this saved an estimated $60,000 in consultant costs. He then indicated that a new drafting technician has recently been hired and, hopefully, that position can now be stabilized. The City Engineer characterized a significant portion of the department's operating budget as being associated with capital improvements in the community, including the City's . portions of the costs of sidewalk repairs and the 1998 ordered sidewalk program and the City's portion of SID No. 665. He noted that the department oversees improvements which cost a significant amount of money, but those monies are expended from other budget units. As a result, he noted that his capital needs are small, including a new upgraded computer for the water system model. The City Engineer then reviewed his department's major areas of responsibility, the department's 1998 accomplishments and proposed projects in 1999. He characterized the oversight of subdivision infrastructure as one of the most critical areas of responsibility, particularly since that infrastructure is designed to last for many years. He stated that, based on the cost of those improvements and the budget for this department, less than 1 percent of the costs of a project are devoted to ensuring that the infrastructure meets standards; and he . feels that is a good buy for the community. City Engineer Brawner stated his department is struggling with keeping the infrastructure mapping and facilities models up to date. He also noted that other mapping, such as the zone map, has been hand drawn and, rather than take the time to redraw the maps in a different scale to accommodate the expansion of city limits, he would like to find a temporary measure to bridge between now and when the computer based mapping for the community has been completed. The City Engineer stated that subdivision and zoning reviews are another important component of his office's operation, again to ensure that the infrastructure is properly installed. He indicated his strong support for the Development Review Committee reviews, stating he does not know of a "better format for synergism and one-stop shopping". He suggested that . the process could be fine-tuned, expressing concern that his engineers spend approximately 20 to 30 percent of their time on zone code reviews, which is not a high priority item in his office. The City Engineer briefly highlighted the major objectives of his office, noting that he is responsible for oversight of several different federal and state mandates and programs. He 12-28-98 - 10 - characterized infrastructure master planning, implementation and quality control as rather time- consuming, yet extremely important. The City Engineer stated he is struggling with the development of efficiency measures. He noted that his primary customers are the citizens of Bozeman; however, his clients are . developers. engineers and architects, and they don't always have the same interests at heart. City Engineer Brawner stated that in Fiscal Year 2000, he will request funding for an additional engineer and an aerial photo map update. He noted that a city parcel base map, which is linked to the GIS program, will also be requested as quickly as possible. The City Engineer identified areas in which he feels less effort could be spent. He identified floodplain administration in the jurisdictional area as one, recognizing that those in the County who currently benefit from the insurance rates available under the City's enrollment in the outreach program will no longer receive that benefit. He also suggested that the City's role in the sidewalk snow removal program be changed, particularly in light of the difficulty the City is encountering in contracting to have the work done. He stated that, under the rates of the current contract, the snow removal bill for a single-frontage lot will run $60 to $70, which . residents may find unacceptable. He suggested that the program be converted to strictly an enforcement program, with penalties being assessed until the work is completed by the individual. The City Engineer noted that approximately 50 percent of the conditions on zoning applications are being written by the Engineering Department. He stated that, while it is important for Engineering to review those applications and forward proposed conditions, he would like to see their efforts targeted toward those issues which impact the community as a whole, such as traffic, water, sewer and stormwater, with the Planning staff assuming the responsibility for developing conditions pertaining to on-site issues, such as curbing and meeting ADA requirements. City Engineer Craig Brawner identified infrastructure improvements, catching up on . records and maps, development of a detailed infrastructure manual for the City, and educating the public as items that should receive more attention. He also noted that the development of an employee procedures manual would be beneficial, particularly since he in currently in his 21st hiring process in the past nine years. 12-28-98 .--------......-- -- -.----..-. ... ..--...- - 11 - Responding to the City Manager, City Engineer Brawner stated that whether the sidewalk repair and sidewalk installation programs would be approved by the voters under , CI-75 would depend on who votes on those programs. He then suggested that if the entire community votes on the programs, they could be successful; however, if only the impacted . area votes, he feels staff would be wasting their effort.. Commissioner Rudberg asked if the Engineering Department has any projects on the shelf that could be funded if grant monies become available. City Engineer Brawner responded that the design for major reconstruction of South 19th Avenue is approximately 80 percent complete, and he met with representatives from the Montana Department of Transportation last week to discuss other possible projects. Responding to Mayor Stiff, the City Engineer stated that projects remaining to be funded through the $5 million general obligation bond issue include improvements to Durston Road from North 19th Avenue to North 7th Avenue, construction of Oak Street from North 7th Avenue to North Rouse Avenue, and preliminary design work on Front Street from North Rouse Avenue to East Main Street. . Commissioner Rudberg suggested that the Engineering Department could print a letter in the monthly SWMBIA magazine. Wastewater Treatment Plant. Included in the packets was an information packet submitted by WWTP Superintendent Don Noyes. WWTP Superintendent Noyes stressed the importance of recognizing that, while the plant continues to produce a fine effluent, it is getting older and, as a result, is requiring more maintenance. He reviewed the information on the sheets he had prepared for the Commission, noting that the plant has operated with the same number of employees since 1982. He stated that a significant amount of the $58,000 budgeted for maintenance this year has already been expended. He also noted that the new blower unit installed to reduce electrical consumption has not worked right since it was installed. As a result, the new unit is off-line and the two . original turbines are being used. WWTP Superintendent Noyes stated that he strongly supports the capital improvement program and the commitment to fund it. He noted that the capital requests for next year are one of the lowest in many years; however, he cautioned that four of the capital items to be 12-28-98 -.-.- - 12 - funded in the next few years are large ticket items, including replacement of the 1982 sludge injector truck at an estimated cost of $194,000. The WWTP Superintendent noted that he has encountered problems in finding land upon which to inject sludge, and he has stopped injecting in the Springhill area because of issues and . concerns which have been raised. He indicated that he has found land close to the plant, which should reduce some of the costs associated with that program. He also indicated that he will tour the Missoula facility to determine whether the chemical program at the plant can be changed to reduce risks, particularly since the plant is almost wholly surrounded by residential development. WWTP Superintendent Noyes stated that all of the people on his staff must be certified within 1 Y2 years of employment and must maintain that certification. He concluded by noting that the plant is well within the provisions of its discharge permits. Water operations. Water/Sewer Superintendent Mike Certalic distributed a booklet of information to the Commissioners. He stated that 16.08 FTEs are funded through this budget unit. He noted one of those is the Engineering Assistant, who has been extremely helpful with . his on-site inspections of infrastructure improvements and installations. He indicated that, with one of the Engineer's assistance, slightly over $1 million in projects have been designed and are ready to bid when the monies become available. The Water/Sewer Superintendent stated his department's goal is to provide a quality uninterrupted water flow to the customers of the community. He noted that daily sampling of the water helps to ensure that this goal is met. He then indicated that the Lyman Creek water supply was taken off-line in September because the cover is inadequate to protect the water from contaminants. He noted that the budgeted amount for replacement of the cover is $187,200; however, he suggested that a more permanent cover be considered, at an estimated cost of $1.75 million. The Water/Sewer Superintendent stated that his department repairs and maintains the . existing water services and maintains and replaces fire hydrants. He noted that his crews have concentrated on the fire hydrants along Main Street this year and have two left to be tested. He then indicated that he is working with the Director of Public Service and the City Attorney to amend the code to relieve his department of the responsibility of installing and maintaining the water services from the street to the house, thus freeing his crews to maintain the existing 12-28-98 --.--.-. ..-..-.. -- ----...--.-.- -- - 13 - system. He noted that his department also responds to over 2,000 calls per year from the one- call locate center. Water/Sewer Superintendent Certalic stated that he will be heavily involved in the projects to be funded through the new $5 million grant, proposing that those monies be split . almost evenly between water and sewer projects. He concluded by forwarding his appreciation for the Commission's endorsement of the capital improvements program. Responding to Commissioner Rudberg, the Water/Sewer Superintendent stated that Bozeman is the only community in the state where the City installs water and sewer lines behind the curb. He recognized that this requirement was implemented to ensure that no one tampered with the water system, to make sure that all water usage was metered, to ensure adequate backflow prevention and to keep contaminants out of the system. He stated, however, he feels that the City could use alternative methods to address those concerns. Wastewater Operations. Water/Sewer Superintendent Certalic stated that 6.75 FTEs are responsible for the wastewater collection system. He noted that his department's goal is to have 100 percent customer satisfaction with the wastewater collection system, through a . properly operated gravity flow system. He stated that the number of call-outs on the system is down, and he feels the goal is being met. The Water/Sewer Superintendent stated that his crews attempt to flush the entire system on an annual basis, and that process is currently 95 percent complete. He noted that the crews are also root cutting those portions of the system that may be vulnerable to root intrusion, and that process is also 95 percent complete. He stated that, through the use of a television camera on all new infrastructure installations, the City has been able to ensure quality installations. He noted that, without the camera, they would not have been able to detect numerous spots where second rate installations had been made, which would have resulted in future maintenance problems. He stated it is his desire to upgrade the television system by purchasing a new camera with a rotating head rather than the fixed head currently being used. . Responding to Commissioner Smiley, the Water/Sewer Superintendent stated that the water mains are shallow on several blocks of three streets on the southwest side of town. He noted that during the winter, when the frost is deep, residents in that area are required to run the water constantly to keep it from freezing, but that does not appear to be a problem this year. 12-28-98 _.._._.n..._.__.__ - 14 - Water/Sewer Superintendent Certalic identified several tasks in the water and wastewater operations which he feels the City is doing well and those which he feels are not being done well. He stated that he wants to televise the existing wastewater collection infrastructure to detect leakage and identify those areas where infiltration is occurring. He also . noted that many of the old manholes need to be repaired. Director of Public Service Phill Forbes requested that he be given an opportunity to provide a few written wrap-up comments in next week's packet. Commissioner Smiley thanked the staff for their presentations. Discussion - Commissioner Droiects Due to the late hour of the meeting, none of the Commissioners forwarded any projects.
