The Commission of the City of Bozeman met in work session in the Commission Room, Municipal Building, April 22, 1996, at 3:00 p.m. Present were Mayor Stueck, Commissioner Rudberg, Commissioner Stiff, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Youngman, City Manager Wysocki and City Attorney/Acting Clerk of the Commission Luwe. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. Work Session - (A) Presentation of creliminary lay-out for imcrovements to South Third Avenue - Kaay Boulevard to Wagon Wheel Road South; (B) Ucdate regardina 9-1-1 communications center - Mike Brown. Director; and (C) Discussion - cossible cancellation of May 28 work session/aaenda meeting (A) Presentation of preliminary lay-out for improvements to South Third Avenue - Kagy Boulevard to Wagon Wheel Road South Included in the Commissioners' packets was a memo from Project Engineer Rick Hixson, . dated April 17, forwarding informa1ion on the proposed widening of South Third Avenue, which includes realignment of the intersection of South Willson Avenue/South Third Avenue/Kagy Boulevard. Director of Public Service Phill Forbes noted that, included in the economic analysis of this project, is a line item for signalization of the intersection of South Third Avenue and Kagy Boulevard, an issue which has not been previously discussed with the Commission. The Director distributed to the Commissioners copies of a petition, dated April 4, from residents along South Grand Avenue and South Third Avenue, requesting that a cul-de-sac be installed on South Third Avenue north of Kagy Boulevard. He stated that the proposed cul-de-sac was addressed in the Environmental Impact Statement for Kagy Boulevard that was approved in . early 1986. He noted that if the Commission approves that request, the intersection of Kagy Boulevard and South Willson Avenue would then become more of a typical four-legged intersection instead of the five-legged intersection that currently exists. City Engineer Craig Brawner noted that, with the intersection improvements as designed, this intersection may quickly meet warrants for a traffic signal, so it has been included in the 04-22-96 .-- - 2 - budget for the overall project. He stated that the economic analysis contained on the first page of Project Engineer Hixson's memo does not include approximately $16,200 for intersection design; therefore, the actual budgeted amount is $803,408.00. Mr. Marty Gagnon, Gaston Engineering, highlighted the scope of this project, noting that . it generally includes the widening and resurfacing of South Third Avenue from its intersection with Kagy Boulevard south to its intersection with Wagon Wheel Road South. The road is currently 24 feet wide and is to be widened to 37 feet. The typical section is 37 feet of pavement, with the centerline to match the centerline of the current roadway. The roadway is to include 12-foot-wide driving lanes, 5-foot-wide shoulders and a 3-foot-wide pedestrian lane. He noted there is to be a 1 %-foot-wide gravel shoulder on each side. Mr. Gagnon reviewed some problems which have been identified to date. He noted that just south of Hill Street, there is a 15-foot jog in the right-of-way for approximately 165 feet; and right-of-way must be acquired for this street widening. Also, at the intersection of South Third Avenue and Graf Street, a 30-foot by 30~foot right-of-way is needed. He also identified some drainage improvements that must be relocated or constructed. He noted that, between . Westridge Drive and Wagon Wheel Road, there are several encroachments into the right-of- way, including power lines, trees and fences. He noted that the impacts on those encroachments will be identified during design. Mr. Gagnon addressed the issue of traffic control during construction. He indicated that construction is to be broken into several phases, with traffic being rerouted through the adjacent subdivisions during construction of each portion of the roadway. He stated that, since no changes in grade are proposed, impacts on intersections along the roadway will be minimized. Responding to Commissioner Frost, Mr. Gagnon stated that the original plan called for 12-foot-wide driving lanes and an 8-foot-wide bike lane. He noted that under the latest revisions, two 12-foot-wide driving lanes are proposed with one 8-foot shoulder, which is . actually a 5-foot bike lane and a 3-foot pedestrian path, and one 5-foot bike lane. He then indicated that the crown of the roadway is to be moved to the centerline with this reconstruction and widening. Further responding to Commissioner Frost, City Engineer Brawner stated that no monies have been set aside for right-of-way acquisition in the estimated costs for this project. He 04-22-96 - 3 - suggested that if the traffic signal is not needed immediately, those monies would probably cover the costs of acquiring the necessary right-of-way. He further noted that the cost estimate for the realignment of the intersection of South Willson Avenue and Kagy Boulevard has not been updated to reflect current costs. He indicated that if the Commission approves . the requested cul-de-sac on South Third Avenue. north of Kagy Boulevard. it can be incorporated into this project without requiring that additional monies be budgeted. He cautioned that adequate space to accommodate the cul-de-sac must be available; and that could result in curb sidewalks along the cul-de-sac rather than providing boulevard sidewalks in that area. Responding to Mayor Stueck, the City Engineer stated that the Montana Department of Transportation has indicated the right-of-way necessary for realignment of South Third Avenue has been acquired; and staff is in the process of obtaining documentation of that right-of-way. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the City Engineer stated that to allow South Third Avenue to meet Kagy Boulevard in a "T" intersection would put two intersections too close together. . Commissioner Rudberg stated she would prefer to allow right turns only to and from South Third Avenue (on the north side of Kagy), rather than closing a street which is used to access the University. City Engineer Brawner cautioned that the distance between South Willson Avenue and South Third Avenue is very short; and allowing South Third Avenue to access Kagy Boulevard puts an uncontrolled intersection very close to a controlled intersection. He expressed concern that motorists typically do not encounter such situations; and it could result in undesirable hazards. Responding to the City Manager, the City Engineer stated that it would be appropriate to ask the consulting engineers to review possible alternatives for allowing some limited movements to and from South Third Avenue on the north side of Kagy Boulevard. He then . indicated that, within three or four weeks, the engineer should be prepared to forward suggestions for that item as well as revised cost estimates. Mayor Stueck raised a concern about the proximity of Westridge Drive to the corner of South Third Avenue and Graf Street, particularly if a median is included in the improvements. 04-22-96 . .__.._.. - ___. - ___ - __.no . _ ........-...-.. ..- - - 4 - Commissioner Stiff suggested that consideration be given to the amount of traffic that will be pushed onto Greek Way if South Third Avenue cannot access Kagy Boulevard. City Engineer Brawner noted that, with the temporary closure of West Grant Street last year and now South 11 th Avenue on the MSU campus, traffic has found alternative routes. . He stated that. until all of the roads in that area have been reopened and traffic has returned to normal routes, it is difficult to tell how much traffic actually uses South Third Avenue north of Kagy Boulevard. Commissioner Stiff forwarded his discomfort with closing of streets. Ms. Sue Schwasinger, 2508 Langohr, asked about the timeline for construction of the improvements. Mr. Jerry Gaston responded that construction of the improvements should begin in August. Responding to Mayor Stueck, City Engineer Brawner stated that, depending on when construction begins, he feels that the intersection of South Third Avenue/Kagy Boulevard/South Willson Avenue should be one of the first items addressed. . Responding to Mrs. Anne Banks, 7 Hill Street, City Engineer Brawner stated that this project is designed as a widened roadway without curb and gutter. He then noted that Neighborhood Coordinator/Grantsperson James Goehrung has completed an application for Community Transportation Enhancement Project (CTEP) monies to fund the bicycle and pedestrian facility along South Third Avenue from Kagy Boulevard to Wagon Wheel Road, as described earlier. Mrs. Anne Banks asked how this road project will impact pedestrians accessing the Gallagator Trail. She also expressed concern that traffic is already turning on Hill Street and using South Tracy Avenue as a way to avoid the intersection of South Third Avenue/Kagy Boulevard/South Willson Avenue; and she is concerned that with this construction, the amount of traffic going that direction will increase. . City Engineer Brawner recognized the limited number of options available for moving of traffic in this immediate area and indicated that traffic may, indeed, be rerouted that direction while the intersection is being realigned. He stated that when the intersection improvements have been completed, however, the amount of cut-through traffic in the neighborhood should actually decrease. 04-22-96 . u____._______ _.~'- - .-- .- -~ - 5 - Mrs. Cynthia Luebbe, 1524 South Third Avenue, stated support for the proposed cul-de- sac, noting that she had anticipated it would be included in this project to ensure only a four- legged intersection. She recognized that some of the traffic will use either Greek Way or Lincoln Street; however, she noted that will result in much safer traffic patterns in the area. . She also noted that Dr. Paula Butterfield, Superintendent of Schools, assured parents in this area that improvement of the roadways leading to the new middle school site would be completed before the new school opens, indicating her appreciation that the project is moving forward. Mr. Bill Muhs, 124 Heritage Drive, expressed concern that at the present time, traffic going south on South Third Avenue goes straight onto Wagon Wheel Road, rather than following South Third Avenue. He asked what incentives are planned for keeping traffic on South Third Avenue after it is improved. The City Engineer stated that when the street improvements are completed, those headed south on South Third Avenue will still be able to negotiate the right-hand turn, without the impediment of a stop sign; and that should alleviate some of the cut-through traffic. . Mr. Jeff Rupp, 1542 South Grand Avenue, forwarded his understanding that the proposed cul-de-sac was included in the transportation bond issue. He recognized the Commissioners' concerns about closing South Third Avenue; however, he encouraged them to consider the safety issues. Responding to questions from Ms. Marcia Rotert, 2904 Langohr, the City Engineer reviewed the improvements to be made to South Third Avenue, noting that these improvements should have minimal impacts on the encroachments into street right-of-way and should encourage people to use South Third Avenue rather than Wagon Wheel Road. Ms. Rotert stated that, as a concerned parent, she supports the road improvements. She stressed the importance of their back yard being a safe place for the children to play, noting that the street improvements should ensure that safety. . Mr. Jeff King, 1545 South Grand Avenue, stated there are only five houses on South Third Avenue in the block between South Grand Avenue and Kagy Boulevard. He noted that in the afternoon, traffic uses this street as a thoroughfare, traveling at a high rate of speed. He stated that with the cul~de-sac, traffic can still access this portion of South Third Avenue 04-22-96 ------ --...-- ~ 6 - from the south through Greek Way. He encouraged the Commission to consider protection of neighborhoods as traffic improvements are made. Mr. Buzz Goldenstein, 7190 Goldenstein Lane, suggested that rounding the curve on South Third Avenue at Wagon Wheel Road would alleviate much of the traffic on Wagon . Wheel. City Engineer Brawner responded that when the road was curved, it was actually on private property; and the "T" intersection placed it within the right-of-way. Mayor Stueck requested that the Commissioners provide direction on which figure should be used for the alignment of the intersection of South Third Avenue and Graf Street and on which side of the street the pedestrian/bicycle facility should be located. He stated that he feels the pedestrian/bike path should be on the east side of South Third Avenue from Kagy Boulevard to Graf Street, and on the north side of Graf Street to South Third Avenue, with the School District installing a path on the west side of South Third Avenue to the school site. Responding to Commissioner Frost, the City Engineer stated that under AASHTO standards, the same pathway can be used for both bicycles and pedestrians. . Commissioner Frost stated that he does not feel that pedestrians should be required to walk with their backs to traffic. He suggested that both sides of the roadway should be made equal so that pedestrians and bicycles can use both sides. Commissioner Youngman indicated her interest in deferring this issue to staff, noting that some separation for pedestrians should be provided if possible. Commissioner Rudberg stated her support for the bicycle/pedestrian facility as proposed in the CTEP application. Commissioner Stiff encouraged staff to consider the safety issues which have been raised. City Manager Wysocki stated that if adequate space is provided for a bicycle/pedestrian . facility, it should be safe for both, with minimal conflicts occurring. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, the City Engineer stated that the bicycle/pedestrian facility will be striped to separate bicycles from pedestrians. Responding to Commissioner Frost, Mayor Stueck stated that a crossing guard will be provided at the intersection of South Third Avenue and Graf Street, where the students will be required to cross on the bicycle/pedestrian facility, to ensure their safety. 04-22-96 _____ n_______ -..-----.---..,. -- - .. - 7 - At the City Engineer's request, City Attorney Luwe reviewed the process that must be followed to close South Third Avenue, noting that it must be addressed separately from this design review process. (B) Update regarding 9-1-1 communications center - Mike Brown, Director . City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that as of March 15, 1996, the 9-1-1 communications center became a separate entity with its own board; and that board hired Mr. Mike Brown as its Director. Mr. Mike Brown, Director, stated that since he began his employment on January 29, 1996, the City and County 9-1-1 communications centers have been consolidated; and that consolidation is currently limited to personnel only. The same equipment is in place and basically the same procedures are being followed. Effective May 1, the procedures for the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office and the Bozeman Police Department will also be consolidated so that the dispatchers have only one way to dispatch. These procedures will also apply to the dispatching of fire and emergency medical services. Until the new 9-1-1 center is developed, there is no consolidated 9-1-1 center. This will involve obtaining updated computer equipment . and radio communications equipment; and the request for proposals for that equipment is currently being prepared. Mr. Brown stressed that this request is not for new technology or new equipment; it is for an off-the-shelf type of solution. He noted that the current situation must be addressed as quickly as possible, although he is now confident that services can be maintained until the new equipment is in and the consolidated center is operating. Mr. Brown updated the Commission on the status of the 9-1-1 lines, noting that they have now been pulled off the business lines and are served by stand-alone lines and equipment. He stated that this allows monitoring of the number of calls coming in on the 9-1-1 system; and the liability situation has been improved. Also, an uninterrupted power supply now provides up to seven hours of service. Responding to City Manager Wysocki, Mr. Brown stated that on his third day of . employment, the telephone lines went down, so they transferred their operation to the Emergency Operating Center at the Courthouse. After 3112 hours, they still had no telephone lines because US West Communications was having a difficult time getting the lines cut over to that facility. He noted that approximately a month later, a general failure occurred in the 04-22-96 - - ---- n_________._._ ---.------ ..~ - 8 - main lines and crashed the entire telephone system; however, the Touch America technician was able to get two 9-1-1 lines functioning during that telephone outage. Mr. Mike Brown stated that last week, he and members of the board went to Missoula to tour a modern 9-1-1 center and view an enhanced 9-1-1 system. He noted that in 1990 or . 1991, Missoula began enhancing its 9-1-1 center; and the system includes a computer -aided . dispatch system into a rad io controller with mapping. As soon as a 9-1-1 call is received, the location of the call is identified and the computer immediately begins paging. He stated that the purpose of this type of facility is to serve the public in a more efficient manner and make it safer for them. He requested Commission support when considering the details for developing a communications center that will serve the City of Bozeman and Gallatin County well. Responding to Commissioner Youngman, Mr. Brown stated that when a 9-1-1 call is received, if the center is tied into the GIS system, it will be displayed on a map. Also, he will get a read-out of the address on the computer screen and any particulars about the house. He noted that, even if the call is not being made from the address where the problem exists, it is . typically from a house in the neighborhood. Further responding to Commissioner Youngman, Mr. Brown stated that the 9-1-1 system is operated from a data base that resides in the US West telephone office and, through a State- wide agreement, that information is made available to public safety dispatch points. He indicated that 30 to 40 percent of the telephone calls received are from children exploring the 9-1-1 possibilities; and many times when the dispatcher answers, the child hangs up. He indicated that the dispatcher tries to call back and, if unsuccessful, a police officer is dispatched. Mr. Brown stated that people using cellular phones will get the 9-1-1 center for the area where they are. He indicated that the number identification has a special characteristic on the display, so the dispatcher can quickly recognize it as a cellular telephone call. . Mr. Brown stated that at the present time, all available radio channels are full. He indicated that, with the high-powered tower recently installed at Big Timber, they can often wipe out the local emergency radio system. He noted that a request to the State for greater separation of the frequencies is needed to address that problem. 04-22-96 .--.-.--- .----- -.-- -..- - 9 - Mr. Mike Brown stated that, through the installation of an alpha-numeric digital system in the police cars, the dispatcher can send a message to the police officer without any information going over the radio. He noted this is particularly important if a criminal is sitting in the car next to a police car. . At City Manager Wysocki's request, Mr. Brown provided a brief outline of his background, which includes being a retired Navy pilot and building command centers in the nuclear command control world. He compared a 9-1-1 center to a command center, with communications equipment and computer equipment. The Commission thanked Mr. Brown for his presentation. (C) Discussion - possible cancellation of May 28 work session/agenda meeting City Manager Wysocki announced that both he and Clerk of the Commission Sullivan will be out of town during the week of May 20. He noted that, because of that situation, he has placed this item on the agenda. He cautioned that if the Commission wishes to conduct a meeting on May 28, it must recognize there will be limited opportunity for staff preparation. Commissioner Frost noted the Commission has a lot of issues to discuss. He suggested . that this might be a good time to meet with an advisory board or two. Mayor Stueck stated concurrence with Commissioner Frost's suggestion. The City Manager requested that the Commissioners forward a list of the boards with which they wish to meet prior to next week's meeting so that the boards can be notified.
