Mike reported that while at the meeting, they had MDT on the phone. The city of
Livingston is on board; they have yet made public how funds would be appropriated. It
was also made clear that until Angle lines board of directors gave was able to formulate
their concerns and have questions answered talks of a coordination plan would
probably not happen.
Carson brought up for discussion, how best to approach the question from further
funding from the city of Bozeman.
The Yellowstone partnership was discussed briefly as a majority of board members
were present, this will be an action item for next meeting.
Director’s Report: Lee discussed the steel being put in place at the shop site. Final
payment from Emily Smyth Trust came in, around 10,000. We have 1 new driver for
Galavan and looking for another. We have requested from MDT to order a 35
passenger and a 23 passenger bus for our use. The 35 passenger bus is an additional
$6,000 over the cost of the 23 passenger, but it is what we need for the immediate
future of Streamline. We have begun talks with Bridger Bowl and Hart Ranch for
contracting of the sprinter routes this coming fall.
Treasurer’s Report: Rosie reported that Galavan was running a budget deficit due to
payment not yet received. The source of the coverage of this is coming from 2 places,
Galavan reserve funding and 5311 monies. The board of directors of HRDC has
decided that 50% of the funding that is generated by the Emily Smyth trust will be
allocated to Galavan operational costs and bus barn office shared office space costs.
