SUBJECT: Authorize City Manager to sign contract #STMGF-60-HP-10-009

MEETING DATE: June 21, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize City Manager to sign contract accepting HB 645 Historic
Preservation Funds to insulate the T.B. Story Mansion.
BACKGROUND: Montana House Bill 645, the Montana Reinvestment Act, provided
approximately $3.6 million for the preservation of historic sites in Montana through the creation
of the Historic Preservation Competitive Grant Program. The City of Bozeman requested and
was approved $24,334 for a project to insulate the attic, porch, and second and third stories in the
Story Mansion.
Final acceptance of the grant requires signature of contract #STMGF-60-HP-10-009 by the City
Manager. The contract requires that the property receiving the grant funds may not be sold or
transferred for the duration of the grant contract without written approval by MDOC or funds
received must be returned. The duration of this contract will terminate upon notice of project
close-out or June 30, 2011, whichever is sooner. The insulation is scheduled to be completed in
September, 2010.
Insulation of the T.B. Story Mansion is predicted to reduce the building’s current heating costs
by 30 to 40 percent. In addition, insulation of the historic property significantly contributes to
long-term building preservation, and will help ameliorate problems of condensation that
currently cause deterioration of the building’s roof.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Signature of the contract will release of $24,334 in project funding.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
