Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Chris Kukulski, City Manager
Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Presentation of Parts of the Recommended Capital Improvements Plan
(CIP) for FY2012-2016
Item Type: Action
MEETING DATE: December 13, 2010
RECOMMENDATION: Listen to Presentation, ask questions and take public comment.
Inform staff as to how these items should be scheduled for adoption (ie. consent or action item
on future agenda.)
BACKGROUND: During November and December, we have been reviewing and adopting
various parts of the City’s Capital Improvements Plan. Tonight, we will be presenting the
impact fee portions of the plan:
· Fire Impact Fee CIP
· Water Impact Fee CIP
· Wastewater Impact Fee CIP
· Street Impact Fee CIP
Advisory Committee: The City’s Impact Fee Advisory Committee (IFAC) met on November
18th and November 23rd to develop and discuss these recommended schedules. The committee
204
currently does not contain a quorum, so these recommendations were not formally voted on.
However, draft meeting minutes are attached, and provide some background on the discussion
that took place.
Impact Fee Credits and the role of the Capital Improvements Plan: Attached is the relevant
section of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC 3.24.100) describing under what circumstances a
developer may receive impact fee credits, highlights added. Applicants must apply for the
credits prior to constructing any improvements. Among several other exclusions, impact fee
credits cannot be obtained for projects that are not on the Capital Improvements Plan (BMC
3.24.100.A.1). There is a distinct process for approval of these credits that involves the
Planning Department (as Impact Fee Coordinator), the City Manager, and in some cases, the City
Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: This step in the process has no immediate fiscal effect – although
scheduled impact fee projects may be eligible for impact fee credits under BMC 3.24.100. Once
adopted, the Capital Improvements Plan becomes the basis of the City Manager’s Recommended
Budget for FY12.
ALTERNATIVES: The Advisory Committee discussed a number of policy issues related
to these schedules. While they didn’t come to any resounding conclusions, these questions will
undoubtedly be a part of policy decisions with the upcoming Impact Fee Studies and future
Capital Improvement Plans. Some of the issues include:
· Should Street Impact Fees be held/saved until development begins to occur more quickly, or
should we utilize some or all of the balance to make improvements in areas that are needed
right now? The schedule recommends spending dollars to expand College and Kagy, as
well as install intersection controls in areas needed now.
· After construction of the Water Reclamation Facility or Water Treatment Plant facility, how
long and to what extent will impact fees “pay-back” the utilities? How might this affect
future projects on the Impact Fee CIP lists? The schedules include all future impact fee
collections in the years of this plan going to pay back the multi-millions of dollars owed on
these plants.
205
· What portion of Urban Funds should be allocated to a project eligible for both Street Impact
Fees and Urban Funds? The schedules include the full amount of Urban Funds estimated
to be eligible.

D. A refund application shall be made to the Impact Fee Coordinator within one year from
the date such refund becomes payable under Subsections A and B of this section, or within
one year from the date of publication of the notice of entitlement of a refund under Subsection
B of this section, whichever is later. Any refund not applied for within said time period shall be
deemed waived.
E. A refund application shall include information and documentation sufficient to permit
the Impact Fee Coordinator to determine whether the refund claimed is proper and, if so, the
amount of such refund.
F. A refund shall include a pro rata share of interest actually earned on the unused or
excess development impact fee paid.
G. All refunds shall be paid within sixty days after the Impact Fee Coordinator determines
that such refund is due. (Ord. 1418 i 7, 1996; Ord. 1414 i 1 (part), 1996)
H. Any refund payable pursuant to Subsections A and B of this section, shall be made to
the record owner of property as of the date the refund was due.
(Code ????, i 3.24.090; Ord. No. 1418, i 7, 1996; Ord. No. 1414, i 1, 1996; Ord. No. 1707, i

3.24.100 Credits against development impact fees.
A. After the effective date of this chapter, mandatory or voluntary land or easement
dedications for transportation, fire protection, water, or wastewater improvements, and
mandatory or voluntary acquisition or construction of capital improvements to the
transportation system or the city fire protection, water, or wastewater systems by an applicant
in connection with a proposed development may result in a pro rata credit against the
development impact fee for the same type of service or facility otherwise due for such
development, except that no such credit shall be awarded for:
1. Projects or land dedications not listed on the impact fee capital improvements program;
or
2. Land dedications for, or acquisition or construction of, project-related improvements as
defined in Section 3.24.040(G) or Section 3.24.040; or
3. Any voluntary land or easement dedications not accepted by the City; or
4. Any voluntary acquisition or construction of improvements not approved in writing by
the City prior to commencement of the acquisition or construction.
B. In order to obtain a credit against development impact fees otherwise due, an applicant
must submit a written offer to dedicate to the City specific parcels of qualifying land or
easements, or to acquire or construct specific improvements to the transportation system or
the City fire protection, water, or wastewater systems in accordance with all applicable State
or City design and construction standards, and must specifically request a credit against such
development impact fees. Such written request must be made on a form provided by the City,
must contain a statement under oath of the facts that qualify the applicant to receive a credit,
must be accompanied by documents evidencing those facts, and must be approved not later
207
Page 133 of 924
than the initiation of construction of improvements or the acceptance by the City of land
dedications, or the applicant's claim for the credit shall be waived. The granting of credit shall
be approved by the City Commission. The City shall approve a credit only after showing that
the need for the dedication or construction is clearly documented pursuant to section 7-6-
1602 of the Montana Code Annotated, and that any land dedication proposed for credit is
determined to be appropriate for the proposed use.
1. Upon receipt of a complete application for impact fee credit the Impact Fee Coordinator
shall coordinate review of the application for compliance with the requirements of this chapter
and other relevant requirements. Upon completion of the review the Impact Fee Coordinator
shall either: forward the application to the City Manager, or when required to the City
Commission, for approval or; if the application is insufficient or otherwise does not conform to
the City's requirements shall communicate in writing to the applicant the reason the credit
request failed. If the application satisfies the requirements and is approved the credit may be
provided in any of the allowed forms as described in Subsection G.
a. Factors for Consideration
(1) When credit is sought for an improvement listed in the second through fifth years of the
CIP after the current fiscal year there shall be a rebuttable presumption that any credit shall
be awarded as a credit balance and not as cash.
(2) The final decision to approve a credit request in excess of $1,000,000 from a single
impact fee fund shall be made by the City Commission.
(3) In the event that the City Manager believes that a credit request may result in a
significant effect on policy decisions the credit request may be referred to the City Commission
for final action regardless of the dollar amount.
(4) In the event that the City considers that award of a credit may negatively impact its
ability to construct improvements listed sooner in time on the CIP they may decline to award a
credit at that time without removing the item from the CIP.
2. Appeals relating to staff decisions on credit requests may be appealed to the City
Commission per Subsection 3.24.110.1
C. The credit due to an applicant shall be calculated and documented as follows:
1. Credit for qualifying land or easement dedications shall, at the applicant's option, be
valued at:
a. One hundred percent of the most recent assessed value for such land as shown in the
records of the City Assessor; or
b. That fair market value established by a private appraiser acceptable to the City in an
appraisal paid for by the applicant.
2. In order to receive credit for qualifying acquisition or construction of transportation, fire
protection, water, or wastewater improvements, the applicant shall submit complete
engineering drawings, specifications, and construction cost estimates to the City. The City shall
determine the amount of credit due based on the information submitted, or, if it determines
that such information is inaccurate or unreliable, then on alternative engineering or
construction costs acceptable to the City.
208
Page 134 of 924
D. Approved credits shall become effective at the following times:
1. Approved credit for land or easement dedications shall become effective when the land
has been conveyed to the City in a form acceptable to the City, and at no cost to the City, and
has been accepted by the City Commission. When such conditions have been met, the City
shall note that fact in the credit record maintained by the City Finance Department. Upon
request of the credit holder, the City shall send the credit holder a letter stating the credit
balance available to him (or her).
2. Approved credits for the acquisition or construction of transportation, fire protection,
water, or wastewater improvements shall generally become effective when:
a. All required construction has been completed and has been accepted by the City; and
b. A suitable maintenance and warranty bond has been received and approved by the
City; and
c. All design, construction, inspection, testing, bonding, and acceptance procedures have
been completed in compliance with all applicable City and State procedures.
However, approved credits for the construction of improvements may become effective at an
earlier date if the applicant posts security in the form of a performance bond, irrevocable letter
of credit, or escrow agreement, and the amount and terms of such security are accepted by
the City. At a minimum, such security must be in the amount of the approved credit or an
amount determined to be adequate to allow the City to construct the improvements for which
the credit was given, whichever is higher. When such conditions have been met, the City shall
note that fact in the credit record maintained by the City Finance Department. Upon request of
the credit holder, the City shall also send the credit holder a letter stating the credit balance
available to him (or her).
E. Approved credits may be used to reduce the amount of development impact fees due
from any proposed development for the same type of service or facility for which the applicant
dedicated land or acquired or constructed improvements until the amount of the credit is
exhausted. Each time a request to use credit from a mandatory or voluntary dedication,
acquisition, or construction is presented to the City, the City shall reduce the amount of the
development impact fee of the same type otherwise due from the applicant and shall note in
the city records the amount of credit remaining, if any. In the case of a mandatory dedication,
acquisition, or construction, any credit in excess of the amount of the development impact fee
otherwise due under this chapter shall be deemed excess credit that is remaining and available
for use by the applicant. In the case of a voluntary dedication, acquisition, or construction, any
credit in excess of the amount of the development impact fee of the same type and applicable
to the project, as shown in Tables 3.24.050, 3.24.060, 3.24.070, or 3.24.080, shall be deemed
excess credit that is remaining and available for use by the applicant. Upon request of the
credit holder, the City shall also send the credit holder a letter stating the amount of credit
remaining to him (or her).
F. Approved credit shall only be used to reduce the amount of development impact fees of
the same type otherwise due under this chapter and shall not be paid to the applicant in cash
or in credit against any development impact fees for a different type of facility or service or
against any other monies due from the applicant to the City, except as described in Subsection
G of this section.
209
Page 135 of 924
G. If the amount of approved credit for a mandatory dedication, acquisition, or
construction exceeds the amount of the development impact fees of the same type otherwise
due under this chapter, the applicant may request in writing that the City provide for
reimbursement of any excess credit to the applicant in cash. Such written request must be
approved not later than the initiation of construction of improvements, or the acceptance by
the City of land dedications, or the applicant's claim shall be waived. Upon receipt of such a
written request, the City may, at its discretion:
1. Arrange for the reimbursement of such excess credit from the impact fee fund for the
same type of service or facility from development impact fees paid by others;
2. Arrange for the reimbursement of such excess credit through the issuance of a
promissory note payable in not more than ten years and bearing interest equal to the interest
rate paid by the City for its long-term debt; or
3. Reject the request for cash and provide credit. Such excess credit shall be valued at one
hundred percent of actual developer costs for the excess improvements, or at the actual
appraised value of such excess improvements, at the City's option.
H. Credit may be transferred from one holder to another by any written instrument clearly
identifying the credit issued under Subsection C of this section that is to be transferred,
provided that such instrument is signed by both the transferror and transferee, and that the
document is delivered to the City for registration of the change in ownership.
I. In the event that land is annexed into the city from Gallatin County after the effective
date of this chapter, and that road or fire impact fees have been previously paid to the County,
an applicant proposing a development on the land may request in writing a credit against the
transportation impact fee equal to the amount of any road impact fee paid to the County for
the same land and may also request a credit against the fire protection impact fee equal to the
amount of any fire protection impact fee paid to the County for the same land. Such written
request must be filed not later than the time when an applicant applies for the first permit of a
type listed in Sections 3.24.050(A)(1) or 3.24.060(A)(1) that creates an obligation to pay the
type of development impact fee against which the credit is requested, or the applicant's claim
shall be waived.
(Code ????, i 3.24.1000; Ord. No. 1471, i 8, 1998; Ord. No. 1418, i 8, 1996; Ord. No. 1414,
i 1, 1996; Ord. No. 1707, i 1(3.24.100), 8-6-2007; Ord. No. 1730, i 1(3.24.100), 1-14-
2008)
3.24.110 Miscellaneous provisions.
A. Interest earned on monies in any impact fee fund shall be considered part of such fund
and shall be subject to the same restrictions on use applicable to the impact fees deposited in
such fund.
B. No monies from any impact fee fund shall be spent for period or routine maintenance of
any facility of any type or to cure deficiencies in public facilities existing on the effective date
of this chapter.
C. Nothing in this chapter shall restrict the City from requiring an applicant to construct
reasonable project improvements required to serve the applicant's project, whether or not
such improvements are of a type for which credit is available under Section 3.24.100.
D. The City shall maintain accurate records of the development impact fees paid, including

ITEM 7. REVIEW AND DISCUSSION
1. Annual CIP Update – Discussion and Recommendation to City Commission on:
211
2
Impact Fee Advisory Committee Meeting– November 18, 2010
Ms. Rosenberry stated the updating of the overall CIP had begun earlier in the year and it would be
adopted prior by December 15, 2010. She stated the approval would not bleed into budget preparation.
She noted the formats of the CIP had been changed and she hoped to update the information during the
meeting. She stated Staff had prepared a draft proposal and presented it to the IFAC for recommendation
in the past, but the updating process had been in progress throughout the year to accommodate a timely
review and approval by the City Commission. She stated plans needed determined for the four areas of
impact fees. She stated the CIP with the most questions would be the street CIP.
c. Wastewater Impact Fee CIP
Ms. Rosenberry stated all wastewater fees would go toward the construction of the wastewater treatment
facility. She stated all of the other projects were unscheduled but would be scheduled after the
completion of the wastewater facility the fees would go toward a new project. Ms. Rosenberry asked how
it would affect the future fees if all of the 13 million dollars was paid and suggested she would like to
contact a consultant. She stated design of phase 2 of the wastewater facility was no longer included as a
project on the schedule for impact fee use. Chairperson Pro Tem Nickelson asked if the description of
phase 2 of the facility should be changed. Ms. Rosenberry responded the dewatering storage building had
been removed from the description as the majority of those improvements were not capacity expanding.
Mr. Hixson stated there were components that were capacity expanding. Ms. Rosenberry asked for an
estimate of a percentage of the whole that would be capacity expanding and if 50-50 would be a good
estimate. Mr. Hixson responded he thought it would be a good estimate at 50-50 but he would provide a
better estimate. Mr. Nickelson suggested some of the items seemed capacity driven and could be
postponed. Ms. Rosenberry asked if there were any other projects that needed added to the CIP or
scheduled. Mr. Hixson responded there were no other projects. Assistant Director Saunders asked if
there was a short list that could be included to synchronize with planned maintenance; if the land was
already opened up the pipe could be expanded cost effectively. Ms. Rosenberry asked if 8th Avenue
should be included. Mr. Hixson responded 8th Avenue would just be the expansion of the water service.
Ms. Rosenberry stated she did not have a list of the sewer projects. Chairperson Pro Tem Nickelson
suggested the small projects could be added to the list. Mr. Hixson stated all the main replacements were
large projects. Ms. Rosenberry stated phase 2 would stay on schedule and the estimate would be 50-50.
Assistant Director Saunders suggested the language be included to indicate the project might come in
portions.
a. Water Impact Fee CIP
Ms. Rosenberry stated the water was similar to the wastewater schedule and included the portions of the
dam costs as well as the storage reservoir. She stated the storage reservoir was scheduled for 2017.
Assistant Director Saunders stated the Water Facility Plan indicated construction by 2017. Mr. Hixson
added it was likely it would be postponed for construction one year. Ms. Rosenberry stated the item
would remain unscheduled and asked if all the items were capacity expanding. Mr. Hixson responded
they were.
Ms. Rosenberry asked what should happen to the item including the dam. Mr. Nickelson asked if the
2011 funds were already committed. Ms. Rosenberry responded part of the funds were already
committed. Mr. Hixson added all of the side steps would need to be completed and noted other water
supply options studies were to be completed; he asked if the study would be impact fee eligible. Assistant
Director Saunders responded the study would be eligible. Ms. Rosenberry asked if more money should
be dedicated to the item or if it was too uncertain. Mr. Hixson stated he thought it was too uncertain. He
suggested changing the language to “water supply expansion”. Ms. Rosenberry stated she was concerned
with changing the language. Assistant Director Saunders responded he would not remove references to
the dam. Ms. Rosenberry asked if the dam project was for pre-design work. Mr. Hixson suggested the
language “project feasibility study” to be expected in spring 2011 or before; he added they were uncertain
who would be the reviewing authority for the project.
212

Impact Fee Advisory Committee Meeting– November 18, 2010
Ms. Rosenberry asked if water supply expansion should be added as a new project. Mr. Hixson
responded yes, at $250,000. Ms. Rosenberry asked for a description of the project. Mr. Hixson
responded it would be the study of alternative water supply options including, but not limited to, ground
water supply options, lease or purchase of private water rights, and additional conservation measures.
Ms. Rosenberry asked the advantages of the project. Mr. Hixson responded the information will be
provided to the Commission for them to decide upon a method. Ms. Rosenberry listed the other items on
the schedule and asked if any other items needed added or removed. Assistant Director Saunders
responded he thought the Graf Street project could be removed as the subdivision in that location would
expire in 2011 though the item could remain as it was unscheduled and would not hurt anything. Mr.
Hixson suggested it would not hurt to leave the item on the project list until 2011. Assistant Director
Saunders suggested that the shown growth percentage of revenue for water and wastewater impact fees
should be congruent or at least provide an explanation of why they were incongruent. Ms. Rosenberry
stated impact fees were really hard to predict so she had taken the modest approach; the impact fees were
already overshooting the estimates they had provided. She asked if anyone thought there would be a
decline from $400,000. Assistant Director Saunders responded it was too difficult to tell.
b. Fire Impact Fee CIP
Ms. Rosenberry stated there had been some really good news regarding the fire CIP; a grant had been
obtained for one of the projects which would complete the project at a local cost of $17,000 instead of
$170,000 – traffic signal preemption. She stated Station #4, Engine #4, and half the debt of Fire Station
#3 were scheduled. She stated the City was near the end of the debt payment for Fire Station #3 leaving
Fire Station and Engine #4 on the list. She suggested the removal of traffic signal preemption. The
Committee concurred.
c. Street Impact Fee CIP
Ms. Rosenberry stated she had included all of the items on the list in the packet materials; she noted there
were 13 items and they had been loaded as FY 16 projects. She stated she had funded the construction of
Baxter Lane as the next thing that gets constructed and asked the Committee if that should remain.
Assistant Director Saunders suggested items 10 and 11 could be removed as the Story Mill Neighborhood
project had expired and he saw very little hope that anyone would do a project of the same scale in the
near future. The Committee concurred.
Mr. Hixson stated he thought there would be a lot of urban route money that could be used for one of the
projects, but he did not know for certain until better data could be acquired; he added urban funds had
been saved since the 19th Avenue project and were 3 million dollars to the good for the College project
currently. Ms. Rosenberry responded the revenue sheet indicated SID’s and urban fund amounts and
asked if the total project cost should be increased to 8 million dollars. Mr. Hixson stated the amount
should be increased. He stated the Kagy project was the next project in line per direction from the City
Commission. Ms. Rosenberry asked if the Durston from Fowler to Ferguson language should be
modified. Mr. Hixson suggested the language “significantly improved except this portion of the road
(roughly ¼ mile)”. Ms. Rosenberry asked what needed done to the section. Mr. Hixson responded there
were no sidewalks in that location. Assistant Director Saunders responded there would need to be
additional lanes and bike lanes as well. Ms. Rosenberry asked if the item would still cost 5 million
dollars. Mr. Hixson responded it would not and suggested the amount be 1.5 million dollars with the
capacity expansion portion at around $600,000. Ms. Rosenberry asked if after College Street the Durston
project should be completed. Mr. Hixson responded the Durston project was not a priority. Assistant
Director Saunders responded he was not certain he concurred as there were no large scale development
projects in that location to participate in funding those improvements. Mr. Hixson suggested leaving
Durston unscheduled. Ms. Rosenberry responded Baxter would have the same issue. Assistant Director
Saunders responded there were larger scale properties along Baxter.
213
4
Impact Fee Advisory Committee Meeting– November 18, 2010
Mr. Hixson stated he thought Kagy/11th to 19th Ave. should be moved up per City Commission direction.
Chairperson Pro Tem Nickelson noted that Babcock and Highland had been listed as two of the highest
priorities in the Transportation Plan. Mr. Hixson stated the impact fees could only be used for curb,
gutter, sidewalk, and bike lanes while the rest would need to be funded elsewhere. Ms. Rosenberry asked
if those projects should be included in the CIP. Assistant Director Saunders responded he did not think
Babcock should be included at this time. The Committee concurred. Chairperson Pro Tem stated he
thought Highland should be included to be consistent with the Transportation Plan. Ms. Rosenberry
stated she would include a description of the Highland project. Mr. Hixson stated he did not know if
intersection improvements should be included in the project or should be added separately; he suggested
adding Highland & Ellis, Highland & Kagy, and Church & Kagy which were all hospital impacted
intersections. Ms. Rosenberry asked if each intersection would be at $500,000. Mr. Hixson responded he
thought they should all be $750,000 with the exception of one that might come in at $500,000; he added
the Durston & Cottonwood intersection should be included as well at a rate of $500,000.
Ms. Rosenberry asked the price for construction of Highland Boulevard. Chairperson Pro Tem Nickelson
responded the Transportation Plan indicated 7.6 million dollars. Ms. Rosenberry asked how much would
be impact fee eligible. Mr. Hixson responded he thought it might be 60-40. Assistant Director Saunders
suggested the eligible amount was closer to 70-30 to be conservative since the existing condition was
good. Ms. Rosenberry asked if Highland was an urban route that urban funds could be used for. Mr.
Hixson responded it was definitely an urban route and urban funds would be used. Ms. Rosenberry
clarified that Kagy should be scheduled while Highland remained unscheduled. The Committee
concurred. Mr. Hixson suggested inclusion of the $650,000 for design in FY 15. He suggested Durston
and Cottonwood should likely be scheduled. Assistant Director Saunders asked if a note needed included
as an indication of funding of construction of corridors to include signalization. Ms. Rosenberry stated
she would group those projects that were tied together. Mr. Hixson asked if there was enough money to
schedule more items. Ms. Rosenberry responded there was enough money available that Kagy could be
scheduled.
Ms. Rosenberry asked the status of the IFAC. Assistant Director Saunders responded he had indicated to
the Commission that the IFAC needed new members appointed. Recording Secretary Hastie added that
there were no applications for volunteers to the Committee. Ms. Rosenberry stated she could see if the
presentation could be moved to the 13th of December City Commission meeting to allow time for the
IFAC to meet once more before City Commission packets would be due. Assistant Director Saunders
suggested including a map depicting where the money had been spent to construct projects. Ms.
Rosenberry stated she knew the map was available but the last three years of projects would need to be
added.
Ms. Rosenberry stated the Tiger Grant had been turned down for Main Street and asked if the project
would have been capacity expanding. Mr. Hixson responded he thought it would actually be capacity
reducing. Assistant Director Saunders stated urban route designations would be reviewed next year. Mr.
Hixson stated Engineering had been discussing the addition of urban routes to the City with MDT.
ITEM 8. OLD BUSINESS
Assistant Director Saunders stated the last comments had been returned on the RFQ for the impact fee
updates and it would be issued shortly.

1. Finalize Recommendation on Street Impact Fee CIP for 2012-2016
(Saunders/Rosenberry)
Ms. Rosenberry asked if she had gotten all of the recommended changes correct; moving Kagy,
Baxter Lane to unscheduled, items 22-29 added as unscheduled. She stated she had put the
unfunded portion as urban funds on Highland & Kagy. She stated that, all the items as listed
would be “doable” if urban funding was available. Mr. Hixson responded he thought all the
corrections had been completed. Ms. Rosenberry stated a policy decision would need to be
made on whether or not to use impact fees for some of the projects. Mr. Murray asked why
Mayor Krauss would consider using impact fees. Ms. Rosenberry responded there may be a cry
from the community for help and the use of those fees. Mr. Hixson stated the previous Impact
Fee Advisory Committee questioned when there was a big balance of impact fee funds not
being used. Chairperson Pro Tem Nickelson added the current balance had been collected over
the last three or four years and asked for clarification if those funds would be safe. Ms.
Rosenberry responded those funds would be safe.
Ms. Rosenberry stated the design of the roundabout at College & 11th had already been
removed from the calculated amount and would be accounted for. Mr. Hixson responded he
would attempt to get a more firm amount for the cost of the roundabout. Ms. Rosenberry
responded next year would be the completion of the design for College Street. Mr. Murray
asked what the amount was for with regard to the design. Ms. Rosenberry responded the design
amount had been removed. Mr. Hixson added there may not be design fees, but there would at
least be administrative fees involved and Staff would be required to pay 15-20 percent. Ms.
Rosenberry stated that the description of College Street did not include design and had been
described as ongoing work. Mr. Hixson responded he was certain fees would be required by
MDT, but he was not sure when. Ms. Rosenberry stated she would make a note that on College
& Kagy that MDT would take care of the design and administrative fees would be required.
Mr. Hixson stated he would confirm whether MDT had approved the project or not.
Ms. Rosenberry stated the intersection at College Street and 8th Avenue was scheduled for next
year. Mr. Hixson suggested there would need to be a design for College and 8th first putting the
project back to FY14. Ms. Rosenberry confirmed to total cost and which allotments should be
in the first and second years. Mr. Murray asked if Oak & 27th was the highest priority
intersection. Mr. Hixson responded it was a priority in the Transportation Plan, but was not the
highest priority. Mr. Murray suggested Cottonwood and Durston should be a priority. Mr.
Hixson stated he thought most of the future development would be west of Bozeman.

Impact Fee Advisory Committee Meeting– November 23, 2010
Ms. Rosenberry stated 7th & Kagy was currently unscheduled and asked if all the problem
intersections had been addressed. Mr. Hixson responded they had been taken care of as College
Street and 23rd Avenue had been addressed; he added Main Street and 19th Avenue was
currently the worst intersection in Bozeman. Chairperson Pro Tem Nickelson asked if any
intersections with capacity issues had been identified with crash statistics. Mr. Murray
responded Kagy/Church and Kagy/Highland had capacity issues; he added he thought west of
town would be developed before the hospital commenced those improvements. Chairperson
Pro Tem Nickelson suggested staying away from Highland and Kagy until the widening had
occurred. Mr. Murray stated he was alright with Oak & 27th being scheduled and he concurred
with Mr. Hixson. Chairperson Pro Tem Nickelson concurred.
Ms. Rosenberry asked if Cottonwood & Durston should be before College & 8th. Mr. Hixson
responded Cottonwood should come before College & 8th and suggested another intersection
could be moved up. Ms. Rosenberry suggested College & 8th could be moved to FY15 or 16
while Cottonwood & Durston could be moved up. Ms. Rosenberry confirmed that College &
8th would be unscheduled while Cottonwood & Durston would be moved up. Mr. Hixson
confirmed. Ms. Rosenberry asked if the design of Kagy could be included in FY14 for design.
Mr. Hixson and Chairperson Pro Tem Nickelson concurred. Ms. Rosenberry stated she would
move Kagy to design in FY14 and construction in FY15, the intersection at Cottonwood &
Durston would be moved to FY14. She asked if there were any projects they were missing that
should be included on the list. Mr. Hixson suggested North 27th Avenue needed filled in for
roughly 1/3 of a mile. Ms. Rosenberry asked the project cost for the 1/3 mile. Mr. Murray
suggested the cost would be $250.00 a foot or roughly $425,000. Chairperson Pro Tem
Nickelson responded it was just half of the street and could be built at a cost of $200,000
without utilities. Mr. Hixson suggested he would come up with a better description of the 27th
project and suggested the item should be unscheduled.
Ms. Rosenberry asked if Baxer Lane from Boothill Court to 11th should be included. Mr.
Murray responded it should be included and added there was another section that would need to
be addressed as well. Ms. Rosenberry responded she would pull Baxter from Boothill Court to
11th. Chairperson Pro Tem Nickelson suggested Baxter from 7th to 19th should be included as
well. Mr. Hixson stated he would provide the descriptions of the added projects to forward to
the City Commission.

FIRE STATION #4
FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 Unscheduled
$2,771,336
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project is identified as a priority in the adopted Fire Facility Plan because most of the City's north and west areas are located
such that our response time exceeds four to six minutes for fire and medical emergencies.
Land acquisition costs are not included. The City currently owns the site on the southwest corner of 19th Avenue and Graf
Street, which is ideally situated for this station.
This station will be needed as our community grows in its South West Quadrant. We will need to watch annexations and
subdivisions within the area and schedule this project accordingly.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Many are available: Scale down the project size and/or materials used in construction to accommodate a residential type facility
similar to Station #2; require automatic sprinkler systems as built-in protection for all new construction located outside of
existing stations' response time service districts; continue operating under current resources; relocated existing stations; accept
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
The completion of this project would enhance our ability to respond to growing parts of the community within a time frame that
has been historically acceptable to the citizens of Bozeman.
Station #1 and #2 are located in areas which ineffectively serve the existing community as well as the portions which are on
Rouse street, a heavily traveled way with a stop light, which occasionally limits our drivers to unsafe access to Rouse or
Mendenhall.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating & Maintenance Costs: Impact Fees can not be spent on operations and maintenance costs. The City’s General
Fund will bear the annual operating and maintenance expenses associated with this facility, estimated at $1,200,000, including all
crew personnel.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project is the purchase of an engine and accompanying equipment for use out of new Fire Station 4.
It will be necessary to have this engine at the Station when it opens. There is an estimated 12 month lead time in delivery of this
type of equipment.
This engine will be needed for Station #4, which will be required as our community grows in its South West Quadrant. We will
need to watch annexations and subdivisions within the area and schedule this project accordingly.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Use of 1989 Pierce Reserve Pumper Darley; buy a used engine; lease/purchase an engine.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Purchase of this unit will adequately equip Station #4 for fire and other emergency responses.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating & Maintenance Costs: Impact Fees can not be used for annual operating and maintenance costs. The City’s
General Fund will pay for the increased fuel, maintenance and insurance costs associated with this engine, estimated at less than
$30,000 per year.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The construction costs for Fire Station #3 are 100% impact fee eligible. At the time of construction, there was not enough cash
in the Fire Impact Fee fund to pay all the eligible costs. As a result, the City’s general borrowing authority was used to borrow
$890,000 to finish the project.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
The City could opt to not pay this loan off early; instead making the annual payments each year. However, because the debt is
ultimately backed by the City’s General Fund, borrowing authority under MCA 7-7-4104 is limited to a fixed amount, and interest
costs accumulate, it is best to pay this debt as soon as possible.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
The General Fund will not be required to pay for capacity expanding costs of the Fire Station.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating and Maintenance Costs: Currently supported in General Fund budget.
FUNDING SOURCES
Loan made on borrowing authority of the City’s General Fund (MCA.7-7-4104)
All loan repayments will be made by Fire Impact Fee Fund.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This new Membrane Filter Treatment Plant is the preferred water treatment alternative identified in the adopted Water Facility
Plan. It is recommended to be built with an initial configuration providing 22MGD of water treatment capacity, with future
expansion capability to 36MGD. This addresses both the 10- and 20- year capacity requirement forecast for the City’s water
treatment system. It is expected to be online by October 2013.
The current 15MGD WTP equipment is nearing the end of its useful life; the plant’s direct filtration treatment process, while
effective most of the year, becomes only marginally effective during spring runoff or flash thunderstorms in the watershed,
dropping plant efficiency as low as 70%; and, rapid population growth and expansion of city water services is increasing demand
for water. The current plant capacity may be exceeded in as few as five years.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
The Water Facility Plan considered numerous alternatives for water treatment. This was identified as the preferred alternative
in the adopted plan.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Planning for increased water supply to meet growing demands and to replace existing equipment that is at the end of its useful
life. The New Plant will be located at the current site in a 49,620 sf building located directly north of the plant. It will include pre-
oxidation, coagulation, flocculation, settling, strainers, membrane flitration, dissolved air flotation thickeners, disinfection, PH
adjustment for corrosion control, drying beds, lagoon, and ancillary facilities.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
This plant is not estimated require an addition to existing plant staff. Annual O&M costs = est. $1,735,901 (including existing staff
plus new plant expenses). None of these costs can be paid with Impact Fees.
FUNDING SOURCES
The most recent estimate of plant costs was provided in the Fall of 2010, at a total of $40.7 Million. It is estimated that 33% of
total project costs (approx $13.4 Milion) are related to capacity expansion of the plant, and therefore are eligible for impact fee
funding. TOTAL PROEJCT: FY08 Pilot Testing: $200,000. FY09,FY10, FY11 Design and Membrane equipment deposit,
construction $7,267,000. FY12 $16,460,000. FY13 $16,460,000.

FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 Unscheduled
$19,750,000
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The City currently has storage rights to approximately 1,955 Million Gallons per Year, with a reservation for an additional 931
MGY, worth of storage rights on Sourdough Creek. These rights were historically allocated based on available storage in Mystic
Lake. The Mystic Lake Dam, however, has been breached, rendering these storage rights essentially useless until a new dam is
constructed on Sourdough Creek to replace the Mystic Lake Dam. Because this volume of storage right is very significant, the
City intends to utilize these rights to meet future water needs. This option is suggested in addition to continued water
conservation efforts throughout the City. In 2010 the City entered into a contract for a project feasibility study. The results of
that study are expected in the Spring of 2011. Until the results are received, we do not have a estimate of project costs for the
next 5 year period.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
The Facility Plan explores many options for additional future water in Section 3.C.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Additional water is secured to meet future resident needs.

5.3MG CONCRETE WATER STORAGE RESERVOIR
FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 Unscheduled
$5,300,000
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
According to the 2007 Water Facility Plan, a new 5.3MG partially buried concrete water storage reservoir was to be constructed
by 2017. Given the recent slow-down in growth, we anticipate needing the tank some time after 2017. The proposed location of
the reservoir is on City property adjacent (to the North) of the proposed new Hyalite/Sourdough water treatment plant.
This reservoir is sized to meet the City’s storage needs up to 2025, assuming a 5% annual growth rate.
Locating the storage reservoir at the recommended site will raise the hydraulic grade line in the City’s water system, which will
increase pressure for the southern part of the City and will allow future development to occur in the south on a gravity system.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
The water facility plan reviewed numerous options. This is the preferred alternative of the adopted plan.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Increased water storage to meet the needs of our growth community, and the requirement of MDEQ. Increased system water
pressure in the southern part of the City.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Requires minimal operation and maintenance. Checking of valves, level sensors and vents on an annual basis and diver inspection
and vacuuming every five years. Estimated at $4,000 annually.

REDUNDANT TRANMISSION MAIN FROM WTP
FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 Unscheduled
$21,680,000
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Water Facility Plan identifies this project as the most critical redundancy issue in the City’s water distribution system. The
City receives the majority of its water from the Water Treatment Plant through an existing 30 inch concrete transmission main.
If this main is off-line for any reason, the City will need to rely on storage from its three reservoirs. At 2005 water demand levels,
storage reserves would be depleted in three days during the average day demand, and in 24 hours during the maximum day
demand.
Not only will a second transmission main provide the security of redundancy if the existing 30-inch main is removed from service,
but the existing 30-inch main is expected to reach capacity by the year 2020.
Redundancy Area: Water Treatment Plant
New Size Description of Estimated Footage (ft)
Old Si C t ti C t
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not build redundant transmission main.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
The city will be assured that water can be supplied even if one transmission main sustains damage and is offline for a number of
days.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating & Maintenance Costs: Impact Fees can not be spent on annual operations and maintenance costs. The Water
Utility will see incremental increases in general maintenance costs. Current cost estimate of $12,500 per water-main mile
maintained annually.
FUNDING SOURCES
Impact Fee eligible portions are related to improvement costs beyond an 8” line capacity. At this point in time, it is estimated
that the 12” and 24” lines are most likely to be built within the next 5 years; the cost of over-sizing those lines would be eligible
for impact fees and is estimated to total $1,874,886. Given the priority of the Water Treatment Plant project, it’s relative size
and scope, these improvements have been moved to “unscheduled.”

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Total adjusted project price for the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) construction of phase one is estimated at $40.7 Million.
Of that amount, $13.3 Million is for capacity expanding costs of construction. The impact fee account will not have enough cash
on hand to pay the costs of construction when the facility is built. As such, impact fee revenues will be dedicated to pay the
outstanding debt in future years, as fee revenues are collected.
At this point, approximately $5 Million of impact fee eligible costs will be paid with a long-term loan (20 years, 4%) through the
State’s Revolving Loan Fund.
A debt schedule will be updated semi-annually with the amount of impact fee dollars that have been dedicated to debt payments
until the full amount owed is paid.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Major capital expansion of the Bozeman Water Treatment Plant (WTP) will enable the City to meet its ever growing demand for

DESIGN PHASE II - WRF PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 Unscheduled
$2,615,000
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
In January 2006 Morrison & Maierle Consulting Engineers completed a comprehensive Wastewater Facilities Plan. The plan
recommends the City proceed with a 3-phased project schedule that includes the construction of the new Water Reclamation
Facility (WRF), capable of handling our increased flows while also reducing the amount of Total Nitrogen discharged to the East
Gallatin River. Phase two is expected to include one new primary clarifier, more BNR reactor basins, clarifiers, tertiary deep bed
filtration, liquid sludge storage tanks, anaerobic digestion, and effluent re-use pumping station. The capacity expanding (impact fee
eligible) elements are: reactor basins, clarifiers, and pumping station. It is possible that this phase of the project could be further
divided into phase 2A and phase 2B, if necessary.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
A variety of treatment technologies and alternatives are presented in the January 2006 Wastewater Facilities Plan.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Major capital expansion of the Bozeman WRF will enable the City to meet its estimated demand for wastewater services and still
produce a high quality effluent that is in full compliance with the City’s MPDES discharge permit. Expansion of the Bozeman WRF
is consistent with the City’s long-term need to accommodate rapid growth and economic development in the Gallatin Valley.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating & Maintenance Costs: no estimates at this time.
FUNDING SOURCES
Total Design Cost: $5,230,000. We estimate that half of the costs are related to regulation and maintenance issues and would be
borne by the Utility Fund. Half are related to capacity expansion, and would be borne by Impact Fees. 50% Wastewater Fund,

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project consists of construction of ~11,000 LF 18", 21" & 24" sewer pipe from manhole F0330 to C0507.
The lower portion of the existing sewer is at capacity. Additional capacity is needed to serve the future Bozeman Deaconess
Hospital development and lands to the south.
It is estimated that 70% of this project costs will be due to capacity expansion and will be eligible for Wastewater Impact Fees.
The remaining 30% of the project costs will need to be provided by a developer contribution or other source. At this time, the
City’s Wastewater Utility does not have a need to replace the existing facility; as such, no utility dollars are scheduled to be spent.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Limit development to only that capacity of the existing sewer.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
This project will significantly increase the service area and capacity of the trunk sewer.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Total adjusted project price for the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) construction of phase one is estimated at $53.8 Million.
Of that amount, $17.9 Million is for capacity expanding costs of construction. The impact fee account will not have enough cash
on hand to pay the costs of construction when the facility is built. As such, impact fee revenues will be dedicated to pay the
outstanding debt in future years, as fee revenues are collected.
At this point, approximately $4.87 Million of impact fee eligible costs will be paid with a long-term loan (20 years, 3.75%) through
the State’s Revolving Loan Fund.
A debt schedule will be updated semi-annually with the amount of impact fee dollars that have been dedicated to debt payments
until the full amount owed is paid.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Major capital expansion of the Bozeman WRF will enable the City to meet its ever growing demand for wastewater services and

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Annual allocation available for right-of-way purchases as they become available. Purchasing additional right-of-way is critical to
expanding the capacity of streets in the city.
This is deemed to be 100% impact fee eligible – as additional right-of-way is not required if we are not expanding the capacity of
the street.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. Condemn property for right-of-way; pay court costs as well as appraised value of property. Time consuming for city staff and
a relatively expensive process.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Provides dollars for the purchase of necessary right-of-way as it becomes available on the market. Avoids the expensive,
antagonistic condemnation process where possible.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating & Maintenance Costs: Street Impact Fees can not be spent on operating and maintaining facilities. There is
expected to be a very minimal, incremental cost to the Street Maintenance District from this expenditure.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Widen Kagy Boulevard and add turning lanes at key intersections. This portion of Kagy currently carries about 12,000 vehicles
per day.
The capacity this two lane street can reasonably carry is about 12,000 vehicles per day. Expansion of capacity will be needed in
the foreseeable future to handle current and future traffic loads.
Kagy serves as an important element of Bozeman's perimeter street system connecting Highland Blvd., Willson Ave. and S.19th. It
also serves as the primary access to Montana State University and the University's major athletic facilities.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Pursue the use of Urban Funds.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Kagy is a State Urban Route and is eligible for expenditure of State urban funds designated annually for the City of Bozeman;
however, the availability of urban funds cannot match the pace of the City's transportation improvement needs.
The need for this project comes from increased traffic due to growth in the Bozeman area and the project is eligible for Impact
Fee Funds. Use of Street Impact Funds enables the community to leverage the available State Urban transportation funds to
complete projects and address more of its pressing transportation needs.

serve north-south traffic flow. It is expected that a minimum of two travel lanes in each direction from Main Street to Ellis Street,
one travel lane in each direction from Ellis Street to Kagy Boulevard, bike lanes on each side, curb and gutter, boulevard,
sidewalk, and a raised median will be required.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Use of Urban Funds, developer constructed or creation of an SID for full financing.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Increased capacity and safety in this corridor, both for motorized vehicles as well as bicycles and pedestrians. The use of street
impact fees enables the community to leverage the available State Urban Funds to complete other needed projects.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating and Maintenance Costs: Incremental increases in sweeping, plowing and general maintenance costs. Current
cost estimate of $8,725 per street mile maintained annually.
FUNDING SOURCES
Estimated: 50% Street Impact fees ($3,600,000.00), and 50% Urban Funds, Special Improvement District (SID) or Other,
$3,600,000.00.
