City Manager Johnson briefly reviewed the background information which was included
in the Commissioners' packets.
(6) Commissioner Youngman asked if the Commissioners are going to discuss
possible changes to the ordinance before acting on it, particularly in response to input received
. during the public hearing. She suggested that depending on the discussion, the Commissioners
may not be prepared to act on the ordinance at next week's meeting.
Mayor Stueck suggested that any Commissioners interested in forwarding proposed
changes to the ordinance do so through memos included in Thursday's packets so the
Commissioners have an opportunity to consider those suggestions over the weekend, prior to
taking action.
Commissioner Youngman stated she feels it is important to discuss the public input and
possible changes before taking any action to adopt the ordinance.
Commissioner Rudberg asked that staff identify other sections of the Bozeman Municipal
Code which pertain to dogs, to ensure that any actions the Commission may take at this time
do not conflict with those sections.
. City Attorney Luwe stated he will include a list of other ordinances pertaining to animals,
as well as copies of those ordinances, in next week's packet. He recognized that
this
information could be beneficial in other instances as well.
(7) The City Manager noted that Administrative Services Director Gamradt will
provide information on this item in next week's packet.
(8) The sub-committee members set 2:30 p.m. next Monday as the time to review
the pledged securities.
( 13) The Assistant Planning Director provided a brief overview, characterizing
this
application as a compromise reached by staff and the applicant.
(14) Senior Planner Dave Skelton gave an overview of the application, noting that,
. while the South 4th Avenue frontage essentially serves as the back yard for this property, it
is actually subject to the front yard setback requirements. He encouraged the Commissioners
to view the site and the immediate area prior to next week's pUblic hearing.
Work Session - (A) Discussion re Dolicy on free dumDina at landfill
City Manager Johnson noted that, distributed in last week's packet, was a memo he had
10-13-97
- .----....-.-
- 3 -
prepared, dated September 28, along with a copy of the minutes from the October 12, 1982,
Commission meeting at which the issue of exemption from landfill fees was discussed. He then
requested that the Commission provide direction to staff by reaffirming, mOdifying or
terminating the current policy.
. Responding to Mayor Stueck, City Attorney Luwe stated that the free dump privileges
for City employees are not specifically identified in the bargaining unit contracts. He cautioned,
however, that they are identified in the personnel manual, and the issue of past practices must
be addressed. He noted that, by following the appropriate steps, this privilege
can be
terminated.
Commissioner Rudberg asked if the Street/Sanitation Superintendent has information
available from which he can determine how much the City employees use this service. She
suggested that the Superintendent provide information for a two-year period, if possible,
showing to what extent free landfill services have been provided. She expressed concern that
the non-profit second hand stores currently serve as a convenient place for people to dump
their garbage, and charging those agencies for dumping at the landfill could result in either
. extraordinary costs to those agencies or trash being dumped along the side of the road. She
noted that, either way, the taxpayers bear the costs. She stressed, however, that before she
can make any decisions, she must have some firm figures.
Mr. Harry Kirschenbaum, Customized Services, noted that this is a young company in
the garbage hauling business. He stated that they donate in excess of $7,000
to $8,000
annually in trash hauling services for worthy non-profit entities because they feel it is important
to give back to the community. He noted that the amount identified in the memo represents
a very small percentage of the overall revenues at the landfill and suggested that the
Commission give favorable consideration to continuing the policy.
Responding to Mayor Stueck, the City Manager stated that the policy is established
. simply by motion and vote in the minutes; it was not adopted in resolution or ordinance form.
Mayor Stueck requested that the staff provide the more detailed and comprehensive
information requested by Commissioner Rudberg. He then stated that if the policy is to remain
in place, it should be adopted by resolution, following review of the information provided by
staff; the Commissioners concurred.

noted that the 1995 Legislature adopted a bill precluding the dumping of gray water on the
ground, resulting in issues which must be addressed during preparation of the bid.

Mr. Smith noted that, since those at the rally in Huntsville, Alabama, had only 3 amps
of electricity, they were unable to run their air conditioning. As a result, a new requirement for
sites of conventions after the year 2000 must provide 30 amps of electricity to every unit, at
a projected cost in excess of $250,000.
. (8) The City Manager submitted his weekly report, as follows.
(1) Welcomed the
Eagles Convention to Bozeman on Saturday on behalf of the Mayor, due to his scheduling

attorney Barry O'Connell to file a lawsuit in federal court against USF&G for failing to pay their
share of the costs for the Bozeman Solvent Site, which total close to $100,000.
He stated
that, as a result, representatives from USF&G have assured Mr. O'Connell that a check is
forthcoming, citing clerical error as the reason it has not already been processed.
(2)
. Announced that the Montana Municipal Insurance Authority (MMIA) has indicated it will pay
dividends in its workers' compensation program rather than implementing premium reductions.
(3) Stated that the League Convention went well. He then noted that next year's convention
is in West Yellowstone and the following year's convention is in Bozeman, and that he will be
responsible for the City Attorney's workshops for both of those conventions.
(10) Commissioner Frost submitted the following.
(1) Attended the blessing of the
animals at the Episcopal Church on Sunday. (2) Noted that the recent article

(12) Commissioner Rudberg submitted the following. (1) Asked if there is consensus
among the Commissioners about bringing back a discussion on accessory dwelling units,
particularly in light of the confusion at last week's meeting. The

support for the grant, as requested at the last work session, she requested additional
10-13-97

information, and she was assured that the information will be provided in the near future. (3)
Forwarded her appreciation for the pictures of the firemen making their puppet presentations
during Fire Prevention Week. (4) Stated that Pat Abelin, local member
of the Montana
Transportation Commission, has indicated the cooperation between Gallatin County and the
. City of Bozeman is exceptional, particularly when compared to other parts of the State.
( 13) Commissioner Rudberg thanked the City Manager for his weekly update on items
of interest to the Commission. She then asked about the status of the West Babcock Street
right-of-way acquisition.
City Attorney Luwe stated that City staff is assessing the two proposed alignments to
determine which is preferable.
Commissioner Stiff indicated his appreciation that all Commissioners are receiving the
same information, characterizing it as "one of the better things implemented at the City
Manager's level in a long time".
(14) Mayor Stueck submitted the following. (1) Stated that he spoke to third graders
at Whittier School last week about what the Commission and Mayor do.
(2) Welcomed the
. Federation of National Women's Clubs on Saturday. (3) Stated
that he is trying to schedule
a meeting with Governor Racicot on October 29, while he is in Bozeman, to discuss the City's
on-going problems with the Department of Environmental Quality.
(15) Mayor Stueck noted that last week, after Commissioner Stiff left the meeting,
the
Commission discussed the petition regarding the protection of neighborhoods from noise at
night. He stated that Assistant City Manager Brey has previously cautioned the Commission
that direction to staff is not always clear, and sometimes seems to come from only one
Commissioner. As a result, he asked that the Commissioners make a concerted
effort to
forward their positions so that staff has clear direction. He recognized that this direction must
be more informal during "FYI Items" and work sessions and agenda meetings, possibly with the
. direction at those simply being to direct staff to place the item on the upcoming agenda. He
then asked that the Commission once again address the noise issue, providing specific direction
to staff.
Commissioner Youngman stated that, since the petition was submitted to the
Commission under "FYI Items", she was quite surprised that no discussion has yet taken place
on the issue.

Responding to the Mayor, City Attorney Luwe indicated that a straw vote of the
Commission is acceptable under "FYI Items" and during agenda meetings and work sessions,
as long as the result is clear direction to staff. He noted that, as an
alternative, the
Commissioners can simply voice their positions, as long as the result is clear direction to staff.
. Mayor Stueck asked for the Commission's position regarding the petition on noise. He
suggested that any addressing of noise should not be limited just to construction, but should
apply to other disturbances, including dogs, as well.
City Attorney Luwe stated that, as a result of last week's discussion, he was under the
impression that direction to staff included bringing back copies of existing ordinances and
statutes under which the City is currently operating.
Following discussion, the Commissioners concurred that the next step is reviewing the
information submitted by the City Attorney, to be possibly followed by a work session.
Signing of Notice of 5Decial Meeting
Each of the Commissioners, in turn, signed the Notice of Special Meeting.
.
Discussion - draft annexation agreement for Vallev West Annexation
Assistant Planner Debbie Arkell noted that, included in the Commissioners' packets, was
a memo dated October 7, transmitting a copy of the "proposed" annexation agreement for the
Valley West Annexation, which includes the revisions to the "preliminary" agreement
considered by the Commission at its October 6 meeting. She further noted that, just prior to
the meeting, a memo from City Attorney Luwe, dated October 13, was distributed. She stated
that in that memo, the City Attorney has forwarded six revisions to the "proposed" annexation
agreement. She indicated that the applicants' representative received a copy of this
memo
early this afternoon and, therefore, has not had much opportunity to review it.
. At the Commission's request, the Assistant Planning Director reviewed the revisions as
proposed by the City Attorney. She characterized most of the revisions as clarifications,
forwarding the reasons for each of the revisions.
Responding to Commissioner Stiff, the Assistant Planning Director stated that the special
improvement district for improvements to Durston Road would probably be from North 19th
Avenue to the western boundary of the annexation.

Mr, Jack Schunke, Morrison-Maierle, thanked the Commission and City staff for the time
,
spent on developing the proposed annexation agreement. He encouraged the Commissioners
to approve the annexation, noting that it represents a logical extension of the community and
will provide for well-planned growth,
. Mr. Schunke stated he has no problem with the "proposed" annexation agreement or
revisions proposed by the City Attorney except for the requirement for sprinkling of all
structures, including single-family residences. He suggested that the issue of sprinkling can be
addressed at the time of development, recognizing that if adequate fire protection services
cannot be provided, then sprinkling of the buildings would be appropriate,
Responding to Mayor Stueck, the Assistant Planning Director stated that Area 3 contains
approximately 64 acres. She noted that a portion of Bronken Park is located within Area 3 and
staff has recommended that if Area 3 is not annexed, all of Bronken Park should be,
At the Mayor's request, each of the Commissioners forwarded their positions on whether
the wording of Condition No, 17, pertaining to fire sprinkling systems, should be "shall" or
"may" and whether Area 3 should be annexed.
. Commissioner Rudberg stated she feels the wording should remain with "may" and
indicated her support for annexing Area 3.
Commissioner Stiff stated his support for "may" and stated that, while he has many
concerns about annexing Area 3, he will support it. He then indicated that he does have some
concerns about the additional wording in the first line of No, 17, which states "annexation and
future development of the Tract must not place an additional burden on the taxpayers of the
City of Bozeman"; however, since the applicants' representative has not registered any
concern, he is willing to accept it,
Responding to Commissioner Youngman, Assistant Planning Director Arkell stated that
the annexation agreement, as written, serves as notice to future buyers and developers that
. fire sprinkler systems may be required during development within this annexation if adequate
services cannot be provided, She noted that this eliminates surprises in the future, since the
agreement is recorded at the Courthouse,
Further responding to Commissioner Youngman, City Attorney Luwe stated that during
review of applications for subdivision, planned unit development or major site plan, the
Commission may impose conditions to mitigate any impacts they may have identified during
10-13-97
------- .- .--.--.".-.-.
- 9 -
review of the application. He cautioned that if an impact has not been identified,
then the
Commission would have difficulty imposing a condition, citing the requirement for sprinkler
systems as an example. He noted that if the Commission approves the agreement with
the
word "shall", it can back off on the requirement if no impact is identified; and if it approves the
. agreement with the word "may", it can impose the requirement if an impact is identified. He
stated that, at this time, the Commission must simply determine how it wishes to approach the
issue.
Commissioner Youngman stated she has concerns about annexing Area 3, indicating that
she feels it would be more appropriate to annex that area later. She then stated she feels the
wording of the first sentence in Condition No. 17 is important, possibly with additional wording
to clarify its intent.
City Attorney Luwe suggested that the statement could be rewritten to read "...
annexation and future development of the Tract must not place an additional burden, directly
or indirectly, on the taxpayers ..."
Commissioner Stiff stated this is the phrase to which he had previously alluded,
. forwarding his concern that inclusion of this type of statement could result in the court system
resolving any future disagreements.
Commissioner Youngman suggested an option to the phrase "directly or indirectly" might
be "either financially or through reduction of services". She then stated
she feels it is
important to eliminate any ambiguity in the agreement.
Responding to Mayor Stueck, the City Attorney stated that the Commission must first
make a determination on whether a requested annexation is in the best interest of the area and
the citizens of Bozeman and, if it is, the annexation agreement is then developed based on the
specifics of the area and the request. He noted that, as a result, the contents
of the
annexation agreement will vary.
. Responding to Commissioner Stiff, the Assistant Planning Director confirmed that once
infrastructure improvements are in place, she anticipates that development adjacent to
Ferguson Avenue and Durston Road should be quite easily and quickly done. She then noted
that the intent of the first sentence in No. 17 is to put the landowners and future developers
on notice that additional requirements may be imposed on development of other segments of
the property.

City Attorney Luwe reminded the Commission that the City must be prepared to provide
police and fire services immediately upon annexation.
Following discussion, Commissioner Stiff requested a break to talk to City staff.
. Break - 4:48 to 4:55 D.m.
Mayor Stueck declared a break from 4:48 p.m. to 4:55 p.m., to give Commissioner Stiff
an opportunity to meet with City staff.
Discussion (continued) - draft annexation aQreement for Vallev West Annexation
Commissioner Stiff indicated he continues to have concerns about issues surrounding
this requested annexation.
Commissioner Frost stated he is concerned about annexing Area 3 at this time, in part
because of the precedent it might set. He also expressed concern about arguing with the Fire
Chief about fire safety issues, stating he feels that since the Chief has recommended changing
the annexation agreement to require sprinkler systems, he feels the Commission should
. carefully consider it. He also indicated support for retaining and clarifying the language in the
first sentence under No. 17. He then indicated that if these provisions are not included in the
agreement, he cannot support it.
Commissioner Youngman recognized that it makes sense to annex large chunks of land
whenever possible, and the community is naturally growing to the west. She stated, however,
that she cannot support the requested annexation without the additional language she has
proposed or the requirement for fire sprinkler systems.
Mayor Stueck stated that, while he shares many of Commissioner Youngman's
concerns, he feels that annexation of the entire 411 acres is appropriate. He also stated his
support for removing the additional language in the first sentence of No. 17, noting that
. impacts on municipal services will be addressed during subdivision review whether the phrase
is included or not.
Mayor Stueck noted that Valley Unit Subdivision, which lies immediately to the east of
the proposed annexation, has been inside city limits for almost twenty years and is now
approximately two-thirds developed. He suggested that development of the 411 acres under
consideration in this annexation will probably develop at much the same rate. He then noted
10-13-97
-.--..----.--.. --....-
- 11 -
that Billion Auto Plaza, which is included in the requested annexation, is already developed,
which will result in an immediate increase to the tax base with minimal demands on services.
Mayor Stueck then stated he feels it is in the City's best interests to annex areas where
growth is logical. He noted that when those parcels are large, master planning of the area can
. be more easily accomplished than when the parcels are twenty acres in size. He concluded by
thanking Assistant Planning Director Arkell, the Planning staff and the applicants and their
representative for working together to develop a proposed annexation agreement which
addresses the issues and concerns which have been raised.
It was moved by Commissioner Rudberg, seconded by Commissioner Stiff, that the
Commission approve the proposed annexation agreement for Valley West Annexation, including
Area 3, with the following revisions: incorporate the revisions contained in Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and
6 of City Attorney Luwe's memo dated October 13, and delete the underlined wording in Lines
14 and 15 on Page 12 (under No. 17), and authorize and direct staff to bring back a resolution
annexing the subject property upon execution of the Annexation Agreement. The
motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Rudberg,
. Commissioner Stiff and Mayor Stueck; those voting No being Commissioner Frost and
Commissioner Youngman.
Mr. Robert Heebner, 405 Overbrook, raised a question about procedure, noting that the
Commission has discussed the annexation agreement and subsequently removed a section
without obtaining public comment. He forwarded his concern about the process noting that,
as a taxpayer in the community, he has been affected without the opportunity for input.
City Attorney Luwe reminded the Commissioners that they have conducted the public
hearing on this requested annexation, and substantial input has been received. He
noted,
however, that this is a legislative decision; therefore, the Commission may accept public
comment. On this basis, he recommended that the Commission accept the additional public
. comment at this time, after which the Commissioners who voted on the prevailing side must
determine if they wish to reconsider their previous decision.
Mr. Heebner noted that the Commissioners had discussed the possible addition of the
words "directly or indirectly" to more specifically identify the burden to taxpayers that would
be considered. He stated that the elected officials at the time development is considered are
responsible for making the decision, based on the facts available at that time, on whether a
10-13-97
.---.--..-.-. -
--- -- - -..-
- 12 -
proposed development will have financial impacts on the taxpayers of the community. He
recognized that any Commission decision could be challenged in court; however, he suggested
that they should not be concerned about the proposed additional wording because the decision
would be based on the facts available at the time.
. Mr. Heebner then stated that changing the wording pertaining to the fire sprinkler
systems from "may" to "shall" gives the Commission the right to say that those systems are
required in all development within this annexation, but that requirement can then be waived,
based on the facts available at the time.
Mayor Stueck noted that many of the issues covered in this annexation agreement are
actually issues which are addressed during subdivision review, and they will be addressed at
that time in this instance as well. He then thanked Mr. Heebner for his comments.
None of the Commissioners from the prevailing side indicated an interest to reconsider
the previous action.
Public hearing - aDDlication for CDBG monies for Bozeman Interfaith Housina II; Commission
. Resolution No. 3211 - authorizing submittal of grant aDDlication
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on an application by the City of
Bozeman for Community Development Block Grant monies for the Bozeman Interfaith Housing
II project.
Mayor Stueck opened the public hearing.
Neighborhood Coordinator/Grantsperson James Goehrung stated that under this
application, the City of Bozeman is sponsoring a grant on behalf of Bozeman Interfaith Housing
II for construction of the second phase of their 20-unit rental housing project along the south
side of West Babcock Street, just east of its intersection with Fowler Avenue. He reminded
the Commission that Phase I of this project is currently under construction.
The Neighborhood Coordinator/Grantsperson noted that the City of Bozeman sponsored
. essentially this same grant application last year, but was unsuccessful in obtaining funding.
He noted that this year's application does include some clarifications, one of which is designed
to eliminate confusion about those targeted under this application. He noted that these rental
units are designed to serve the very low-income persons in the 3D-percent to 50-percent of
median income range.
10-13-97
- 13 -
Neighborhood Coordinator/Grantsperson Goehrung reminded the Commission that a
needs assessment update is currently in progress. He noted that the initial survey has been
completed and the results are being compiled. He stated that the survey
was mailed to
property owners and provides the basic information for the community, and a supplemental
. survey is now being prepared and will be sent to renters. The
results of the supplemental
survey will be incorporated into the overall needs assessment and the new information
forwarded to the State for consideration as this application is reviewed.
He noted that the
deadline for applications is October 17, and ranking of the applications should be completed
by Christmas. He then assured the Commission that submittal of the needs
assessment
information after submittal of the application will not jeopardize the application's chances of
success.
Several representatives from Bozeman Interfaith Housing II were present in support of
the grant application, although no one spoke.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the grant application.
Since there were no Commissioner objections, Mayor Stueck closed the public hearing.
. Included in the Commissioners' packets was a copy of Commission Resolution No.
3211, as approved by the City Attorney, entitled:
