of preserving the building.

Mr. Leland, of 528 North Bozeman, stated that he had a guest editorial on the jail in the January

0:48:53 James Goehrung, Director of Facility Services
Mr. Goehrung described the vandalism and graffiti to City buildings, including the difficulty of
using anti-graffiti products in this climate, looking at money in budget requests to address
vandalism, and combining forces with the Downtown Bozeman Partnership.
0:53:02 Mr. Fontenot

Mayor Jacobson opened public comment.
0:58:31 Charlie Finch - Public Comment
Mr. Finch, of 816 North 17th, stated that he is an environmentally safe painter who did the mural
on Heebs. He found a company that makes environmentally safe graffiti coating, and has two
coats on that mural now. The top coat can't be scratched with a nail. This clear product has a high
resistance to UV rays and good color retention. There is a lot of potential, and this company also
makes a graffiti removal product.
1:02:17 Don Pilotte - Public Comment
Mr. Pilotte, of 2007 South Tracy, is the President of the Gallatin Association of Realtors. In May
2007 they put together a public service campaign targeting graffiti, and it seemed very
successful. Their 2008 budget includes funds for a public service campaign. They look forward
to working with the City to be part of the solution.
1:03:19 Chris Naumann - Public Comment
Mr. Naumann, the Executive Director of the Downtown Bozeman Partnership, offered the
partnership's support for the vandalism and graffiti task force and encouraged the Commission to
direct City staff to form it. He said there are economies of scale on some solutions. Please
contact him with any questions about their initiatives with the graffiti removal project.

work with Finance to get an account to centrally track costs for our facilities. If you are

1:44:46 5. Meadow Creek Subdivision Payback Agreement for Water Improvements,
Traffic Signal Improvements, and Sanitary Sewer Improvements (Murray)
1:44:52 Bob Murray, City Engineering
Mr. Murray presented the staff report. These water, sewer, and traffic signal improvements
payback districts are for larger offsite improvements that ultimately will service a much larger
area than the subdivision.
1:54:27 Mr. Murray
Mr. Murray clarified that for the properties not in the City, until they come through for a
subdivision or site plan review they don't pay anything.
1:57:59 Neal Ainsworth, Applicant
Mr. Ainsworth, of 909 Turnberry, stated that they thought if they put in such a sewer system they
could recoup what they didn't use as their capacity. They disagree with Bob Murray. They can't
get a large percentage of the money back; it's a tough pill to swallow. He asked for consideration
to make a zone where it is for properties that are outside of the City coming in. It's only fair.
2:01:20 Public Comment opened.
Mayor Jacobson opened public comment.
2:01:32 Dave Kraft - Public Comment
Mr. Kraft, of 8670 Fowler, wanted to know how Meadow Creek can create a payback district
when they haven't finished the water line project and are three years behind paying for crop
damages the water line caused. He and others are denied the right to farm. He doesn't know why
part of his land is tied into a payback district since he was denied annexation.
2:04:06 Ted Newman - Public Comment
Mr. Newman, of 535 Valley Drive, stated that he is so frustrated that his blood is boiling. Just on
his lot in the Fowler Place subdivision, he will pay three times for the sewer: the lot, impact fee,
and site plan review. He lives on Valley Drive, and he will pay two times for that. They want to
remain in the County, but it's one thing after another with no representation.
2:07:32 Mark Albrecht - Public Comment
Mr. Albrecht, of 4969 Durston, stated that he thinks he lives in the sewer payback district. If
they are going to be taxed with no representation, he needs more clarity. It's the first they have
10
Bozeman City Commission Meeting, January 28, 2008
8
heard of it. They have no say. He asked the Commission not to vote on this until there is some
clarity.
2:09:04 Dayle Kountz - Public Comment
Mr. Kountz, of 5550 Blackwood Road, asked if up there in the peach (in the diagram map)
coming from Huffine down to Cottonwood to Stucky if that is that in payoff district, that one to
the west.
2:09:38 Mr. Kountz
Mr. Kountz said that Loyal Gardens/Madill is trying to do the same thing privately to get us to
pay for it now individually to get access to those sewer lines. He is confused since his property is
in the peach part, why is it in this district?
2:10:25 Deb Stober - Public Comment
Ms. Stober, of 395 North Valley Drive, is representing her household as well as her neighbors at
441 Valley Drive. They have been told numerous times that there would be no impacts. There is
nothing in writing about what this payback district will cost, nor any public hearings. They have
a real problem that they are now going to pay because a developer didn't want to pay what he
was required to do. They can't continually get hit by unlimited paybacks.
2:13:47 Martie Stewart - Public Comment
Ms. Stewart, of 3303 Bitterroot Way, is also a part of the Valley Drive subdivision and concurs
with Deb. She said for the Babcock payback district they couldn't pay upfront so they are being
charged interest until they are pulled into the City. Will this happen with this payback, or do they
have the chance to pay upfront?
2:14:46 Carrie Swenson - Public Comment
Ms. Swenson, of 4969 Durston Road, is also representing her family at 4959 Durston Road. This
notice is the first time they have heard of this sewer line and that they might be responsible for
payback. They're angry it's been in the works for 2-3 years and are concerned about costs. She
doesn't think there is enough information to pass tonight.
2:16:14 Jeff Strong - Public Comment
Mr. Strong, of 7980 Balsam Drive, questioned why there would be a payback fee assessed at the
time of a site plan or a subdivision review or application. An appropriate time to trigger a
payback is when someone actually connects and uses capacity. That would identify a set cost so
people could make an informed decision.
2:18:14 Mr. Murray
Mr. Murray responded to the questions raised by the public.
2:26:17 Debbie Arkell, Director of Public Service
At Mayor Jacobson's request, Ms. Arkell explained what payback districts are and how they
work.
11
Bozeman City Commission Meeting, January 28, 2008
9
2:35:24 Mr. Ainsworth, Applicant
Mr. Ainsworth welcomes the opportunity to sit down with Bob Murray and revise the sewer
payback and bring it back in a few weeks. He is asking that only properties that are not in the
City be in the payback. Approving the water and traffic signal payback tonight would be great.
2:36:32 Motion and Vote that we authorize the City Manager to sign the Meadow Creek
Subdivision Payback Agreement for Water Improvements and Traffic Signal
Improvements as proposed.
It was moved by Cr. Rupp, seconded by Cr. Bryson, that we authorize the City Manager to
sign the Meadow Creek Subdivision Payback Agreement for Water Improvements and
Traffic Signal Improvements as proposed.

Those voting No being none.
The motion carried 5-0.
2:37:24 Cr. Rupp
Cr. Rupp gave direction for staff. He thinks land should be in a payback district when they come
in and need our services, not land that is already on City services.
2:37:53 Motion that we direct staff to work on renegotiation of the boundary districts to
include those areas north of town that eventually might hook up but exclude current City
residents, with the clarification that it not include built out properties in the City.
It was moved by Cr. Bryson, seconded by Cr. Krauss, that we direct staff to work on
renegotiation of the boundary districts to include those areas north of town that eventually
might hook up but exclude current City residents, with the clarification that it not include
built out properties in the City.
2:39:57 Cr. Krauss
Cr. Krauss said undeveloped properties.
2:40:18 Clarification of Motion
Cr. Bryson rephrased his motion, and it was seconded by Cr. Krauss:
It was moved by Cr. Bryson, seconded by Cr. Krauss, that we direct staff to work on
renegotiation of the boundaries to include properties that potentially are up for capacity
expansion, so it's not resolved around current City boundaries, and that would apply for or
use added capacity.
2:42:44 Vote that we direct staff to work on renegotiation of the boundaries to include
properties that potentially are up for capacity expansion, so it's not resolved around
current City boundaries, and that would apply for or use added capacity.
