WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Downtown Bozeman Association to hold
more than one sidewalk or promotional sale throughout the year; and
WHEREAS, in the past the City Commission has dealt with such requests
to use public right-of-way (sidewalks) on an individual basis; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission has expressed a desire to establish a
uniform policy regarding sidewalk sales.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF BOZEMAN:
Section One - Business Sidewalk Promotions
Written requests for permission to use public property (sidewalks) for
the purpose of sidewalk promotions, whether by the Downtown Bozeman Associa-
tion, by other groups or individual businesses licensed in the B-3 Zone, must be
filed at least thirty (30) days prior to any annually scheduled event (e.g., Sweet
Pea, Taste of Bozeman, Crazy Days and Christmas Stroll). Each event shall be
limited to a duration of not more than three (3) consecutive days. All such
events must be approved in writing by the City Manager or his designee. Writ-
ten requests for permission for any event not listed above as scheduled annually
must be filed at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed event. Appeals from
the decision of the City Manager or designee may be made to the City Commis-
sian.
All sidewalk promotions shall comply with the following:
1. A minimum five-foot sidewalk aisle shall be maintained for
pedestrian travel.
2. Those participating in the sidewalk promotion shall limit
their activities to the area bounded on either side by the

tional store fronts. Said written permission shall be sub-
mitted along with the required written request for approval.
Section Two - Non-profit Sidewalk Sales
The use of publ ic property (sidewalks) by non-profit organizations for
advertising or conducting the sale of goods shall be limited to two (2) such events
per organization per calendar year. Each event shall be limited to a duration of
not more than ten (10) consecutive days. All such events must be approved in
writing by the City Manager or his designee. Written requests for approval must
be filed at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed event. Appeals from the
decision of the City Manager or designee may be made to the City Commission.
All such sidewalk advertising and sales shall comply with the following:
1. The organization shall request the written permission of
the occupant of the business(es) in front of which the
proposed event is to be held. Such written permission or
a written explanation of the absence of written permission
shall be submitted along with the written request for
approval.
2. The organization shall maintain a minimum five-foot side-
walk aisle for pedestrian travel.
Section Three - Business Sidewalk Encroachment
The use of public property (sidewalks) for the placement of merchandise,
signs, benches and other personal property adjacent or attached to a bui Iding by
the occupant licensed to do business in the building shall not be deemed an
obstruction when approved in writing by the City Manager or his designee.
Written requests for approval must be filed. The City Manager or designee is
hereby authorized to grant such revocable permit allowing such a use upon the
execution by requestor of an agreement to save and hold the City harmless from
any claims arising out of, resulting from or occurring in connection with the
permitted use, and that upon the revocation of such permit, the requestor wi II
remove the encroachment at its own expense, restoring the right-of-way to its
original condition. Appeals from the decision of the City Manager or designee
may be made to the City Commission.
