worked on the Sourdough Trail.
(8) The City Manager asked for two Commissioners to serve on a sub committee
to meet with staff to discuss the issues that have arisen regarding the volume -based gar-
bage rate system which has recently been implemented. Commissioner Knapp and Mayor
Pro Tempore Swanson volunteered to serve.
(9) Commissioner Knapp submitted the following. (1) Attended, and worked at,
the 100th birthday party for the Library on Saturday afternoon. (2) Attended the Inter-
agency Breakfast on Wednesday. (3) Attended the economic development seminar spon-
sored by the Ambassadors on Thursday afternoon. She briefly highlighted the seminar,
noting that it was quite enlightening. She noted the importance of encouraging existing
businesses to remain in the community and expand if possible, rather than allowing them to
be attracted to another location.
(10) Commissioner Knapp reminded the Commissioners of the ASEAN Ambassadors
meeting scheduled for next Monday, and asked if anyone will be attending,
The City Manager noted that the Mayor will attend the noon luncheon and give a
brief welcome.
(11) Commissioner Goehrung submitted the following. (1) Attended the 100th
birthday party for the Library on Saturday. (2) Indicated he has received an invitation
to attend the noon lunch meeting of the DBA tomorrow and asked if another Commissioner
could attend in his place. Commissioner Frost indicated he would attempt to do so; Com-
missioner Knapp indicated her willingness to serve as back -up.
(12) Commissioner Frost submitted the following. (1) Attended the City - County
Planning Board meeting on Tuesday evening, where topics of discussion included (a) mem-
bership of the DRB, with strong support for seven members being noted; and (b) the
need for complete review of the subdivision regulations was discussed. (2) Attended a
meeting sponsored by the Department of Health and Environmental Sciences on groundwater
problems, along with Commissioner Knapp. He noted that three main points were dis-
cussed: (a) the best way to protect a groundwater aquifer is through an overlay district;
(b) the Focal government can adopt almost any rules and regulations it desires to protect
groundwater as they are not contrary to State statute; and (c) State approvals necessary
for a subdivision should be sought and obtained before local level approval is sought. (3)
Met with County Commissioner Deb Berglund, who has suggested that the next joint City/
County Commission meeting be held on August 5, with review of subdivision regulations
being one of the topics of discussion. Commissioner Goehrung requested that discussion of
the Damschen report on solid wastes also be placed on the agenda if the report has been
received by that date.

high chain link fence and into the landscaped area.
Responding to Commissioner Swanson, Mr. Richlen briefly reviewed the process of
operating a dry shop, noting that baling of garbage does not create a substantial amount
of moisture. He stated that process will include blowing off of equipment and sweeping of
garbage on the floor into the baler. He stated that if the State determines this clean -up
process is unacceptable; they will require a wet process; and they must meet the waste
water pretreatment guidelines of the State for that process.
Responding to the City Manager, Mr. Richlen stated that they intend to store baled
recyclables in the outside storage area.
Commissioner Goehrung asked what the hours of operation are to be, particularly
because of the noise which could be generated from this facility and loading of materials
onto rail cars.
Mr. Richlen noted that landscaping will be installed in a manner to allow the use of
the spur line and railroad cars. He then stated that the hours of operation are to be
standard business hours, except for the possibility of working one or two hours overtime
if there is a substantial amount that needs to be loaded. He then stated that with this
operation, the noise level will not be appreciable, and should not be heard off site.
Responding further to Commissioner Goehrung, Mr. Richlen stated that the doors of
the facility will be open, so that vehicles can drive in, unload and exit.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, Mr. Richlen stated that auto batteries will be
stacked on pallets, wrapped in plastic and stored indoors. He noted this process mini-
mizes the potential for acid spillage, minimizes the potential for theft, and ensures appro-
priate handling.
Mr. Jack Schunke, Morrison- Maierle, engineering consultants, representing the ap-
plicant, briefly reviewed the results of the traffic studies that have been conducted. He
stated that the studies are based on actual data gathered from the existing recycling cen-
ter, noting that this type of information provides a much better basis than a traffic gen-
eration manual. He then projected that this proposed facility would increase traffic on
East Tamarack Street by 3.3 percent, by .9 percent on L Street and 3.9 percent on North
Wallace Avenue. He indicated that those projections are for the immediate future; and he
has not made any projections for the year 2000.
Mr. Schunke noted that concern has been raised about additional traffic generated
on L Street from this project, suggesting that it will be very negligible because there is a
low amount of residential development to the north and east of this site which will utilize
the facility.
Responding to Mayor Pro Tempore Swanson, Mr. Richlen stated that the existing
recycling center on East Cottonwood Street would be closed immediately upon opening of

gain access to the facility. She suggested that L Street be graded but not paved, since
that would only encourage additional traffic on that roadway.
Mrs. Beall then asked Mr. Richlen if the new facility will recycle magazines and
tires; he responded that they will not accept tires and will accept magazines only as the
market demands.
Ms. Shannon Walden, 2124 North Rouse Avenue, stated support for this proposed
facility, noting it will provide greater access and flexibility in recycling of various prod-
ucts. She then asked what will be accepted at the new facility that is not accepted at the
existing recycling center.
Mr. Rick Meis, 718 South 12th Avenue, asked if Montana Recycling has adequately
addressed all of the questions and issues which were raised near the end of the June 17
portion of this public hearing. He then asked how many garbage trucks will use this fa-
cility on a daily basis. He further noted that the Commission should include a condition to
address waste water pretreatment in the event the State determines that the proposed dry
clean -up process is unacceptable.
Mr. Mels then suggested that placing roll -off boxes at strategic points around the
community for recyclables could dramatically decrease the amount of community traffic to
the proposed facility.
Ms. Tutti Meeks, 418 North Wallace Avenue, stated she is in favor of the garbage
transfer station/ recycling center concept; however, she does not feel the proposed location
is appropriate. She noted that the Idaho Pole Superfund site is located in that immediate
area. She also noted that the problems that exist with that situation could be dramatically
compounded by the potential problems which could result from this proposed use. She
then encouraged the Commission to protect this fragile area, and ensure that it is fully
aware of the impacts this use may have on that area prior to approval.
Ms. Meeks then stated concern about the negative impacts that additional traffic and
truck traffic may have on the residential development along North Wallace Avenue. She
noted that the residents along the street represent a mix of young, families with small chil-
dren and elderly people; and increased traffic could present a safety problem as well as a
disruption to residential life. She further noted that approval of this application will in-
troduce a new element when the existing problem has not yet been addressed.
Ms. Meeks then indicated support for finding a different location for the proposed
garbage transfer station/ recycling center, where the variables are known and a residential
neighborhood is not further jeopardized.
Mr. Robert Pavlic, 720 Front Street, noted the wind in that immediate area, which
blows in an east /west direction along the tracks. He then expressed concern that this
wind will carry undesirable odors from the proposed facility to his place of business.

transporting bales of garbage is easily accommodated,
Mr. Richlen stated that odors in the facility are to be controlled by an ozone gen-
erator, as discussed at the June 17 meeting, noting it is in best interests of their busi-
ness to eliminate odors as much as possible. He then responded that any additional traffic
created by this facility will occur during regular business hours. He reminded the Com-
mission that the subject site is zoned M -2; and the proposed use is a permitted conditional
use within that zone. He further noted that a conditional use permit is currently in effect
to allow construction of a garbage transfer station only on the site; and he feels that this
proposal, which includes a recycling center as well, is a much better proposal for the com-
munity and will provide more options for recycling. He noted it will be a safe facility,
following all federal and state regulations.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, Mr. Richlen indicated it would be possible to set
a roll -off box for recyclables in the community, noting it is done elsewhere in the state.
Responding to Commissioner Frost, Mr. Jack Schunke stated it is projected that 27
garbage trucks will access the facility on a daily basis.
Responding to Commissioner Knapp, Mr. Richlen indicated that the trees to be
planted as screening from the interstate will be good sized trees, estimating they will be
ten feet in height,
Responding to Commissioner Goehrung, Mr. Richlen stated that Montana Recycling
has not encountered any problems with smell from bales of garbage which have been stored
outside. He then noted that recyclables are generally free from smell. He further in-
dicated that no "picking line" is planned in this facility; therefore, any recyclables thrown
into a load of garbage will be baled with the garbage rather than separated out. He stat-
ed there will be no requirement that the loads on garbage trucks be separated before en-
tering the facility.
Mayor Pro Tempore Swanson asked how many tons of garbage must be processed
daily to make this operation break even, making reference to the proposed condition that
garbage brought into the facility be limited to that generated in Gallatin County only.
Mr. Richlen stated it will cost over $1 million to construct the facility. He stated
that, while the company will not be bringing garbage in by rail, he does not want to be
limited to garbage from Gallatin County only.
City Attorney Becker referred to Section 75 -10 -218, M.C,A., a copy of which he
had attached to his memo. He noted that in that section, it specifies that the owner or
operator of a solid waste management facility must obtain approval from the local govern-
ment prior to accepting waste generated outside the region. He then indicated that the
Commission may establish the area from which garbage may be accepted.

Public hearing - Commission Resolution No. 2837 - intent to vacate that portion of South
7th Avenue lying between West Cleveland Street and West Grant Street
This was the time and place set for the public hearing on Commission Resolution
No. 2837, as reviewed by the City Attorney, entitled:
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2837
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, DECLARING IT TO BE THE INTENTION OF SAID COMMISSION
TO VACATE AND ABANDON THAT PORTION OF THE SOUTH 7TH AVENUE
RIGHT -OF -WAY LYING BETWEEN THE SOUTH RIGHT -OF -WAY LINE OF WEST
CLEVELAND STREET AND THE NORTH RIGHT -OF -WAY LINE OF WEST
GRANT STREET.
Mayor Pro Tempore Swanson opened the public hearing.
City Manager Wysocki noted that included in the Commissioners" packets were a let-
ter expressing several concerns about this proposal from Torlief Aasheim, 517 West Koch
Street, dated July 1; and a memo from Assistant City Engineer Craig Brawner, dated July
11, along with attachments.
The City Manager then distributed to the Commission a memo from the Cooper Park
neighborhood, dated July 15, raising several issues of concern; a letter from Chris
Sperry, 316 South 5th Avenue, dated July 14, expressing concern about the proposed clo-
sure; and a letter from Joy Schroeder, 408 South 6th Avenue, dated July 11, stating op-
position to the requested street closure.
Mayor Pro Tempore Swanson entered into the record a letter of concern from Jane
B. Hawks, 703 West Koch Street, dated July 8, 1991.
Mr. Bill Rose, Director of Facilities Services at Montana State University, provided
a brief history of the process to date for the benefit of the general public in attendance at
this meeting. He noted that during the past several months, MSU has responded to City
concerns; and he is now requesting that the City address MSU concerns through approv-
ing the proposed street closure. He stated that discussions on the closure of South 7th
Avenue began approximately two years ago; and this is the culmination of those dis-
cussions.
Mr. Bob Lashaway, Assistant Director of Facilities Services at Montana State Uni-
versity, stated there are several reasons for pursuing closure of South 7th Avenue be-
tween West Cleveland Street and West Grant Street. He noted that a new engineering/
physical sciences complex has been in the mill for many years, being conceived in the
70 planned in the 80 "s and funded by the Legislature in the 90 1 s. He stated that the
master plan for the campus is for a pedestrian campus with a perimeter campus circulation
system; and this street closure will enable implementation of that plan. He noted that this
closure would also eliminate the pedestrian/ vehicular conflicts which occur along the east
side of campus at the present time. He then stated that over $1 million is to be spent
over the next three years enhancing parking lots in various areas of the campus, with a

cation of South 7th Avenue extends from West Cleveland Street to West Grant Street; and
he proposes that traffic counts extend for that same distance on South 6th Avenue. He
suggested that if the City wishes, it could conduct traffic studies further north; however,
he indicated that MSU is only interested in participating on improvements to that portion
between Cleveland and Grant.
Commissioner Frost noted that, even though it does not extend south past Kagy
Boulevard, South 7th Avenue /South 8th Avenue is a major north /south roadway in that ar-
ea. He noted that closure of a portion of South 7th Avenue will likely move traffic to
South 11th Avenue; and it will then be beneficial to extend South 11th Avenue southward
from Kagy. He then suggested it may be in the City's best interests to require dedication
of the right -of -way for that extension at the time it vacates South 7th Avenue, if it is
vacated.
Mr. Rose stated that a number of traffic patterns in that area will change with the
extension of Kagy Boulevard from South 11th Avenue to South 19th Avenue and construc-
tion of the 1 -90 interchange. He further noted that the transportation study which is cur-
rently being prepared will provide some additional information on what roadways are
needed. Mr. Rose then stated that this request is a stand -alone request; and he does not
feel that discussion of South 11th Avenue should enter into this item, noting he is willing
to enter into discussions about that roadway extension at the appropriate time.
Responding to Commissioner Goehrung, Mr. Rose noted that with all of the trans-
portation structure changes anticipated in the next couple of years, he feels that behavior
patterns will change substantially. He suggested that, rather than using the South 8th
Avenue /South 6th Avenue corridor to enter campus, many people will use the South 19th
Avenue /Kagy Boulevard entrance. He then reiterated that approval of this application will
allow MSU to accomplish several of its desires, including construction of the engineering/
physical sciences in the location they have selected, decrease in vehicular/ pedestrian con-
flicts, and bring the campus one step closer to becoming a closed campus.
Commissioner Goehrung asked if there have been any traffic studies to reflect how
the general public reaches campus for special events, such as sporting events and gradua-
tion.
Mr. Rose stated that the data base they have is for daily traffic. He noted that
South 11th Avenue at West College Street has the most traffic, followed by the West Lin-
coln Street entrance, then the West Grant Street entrance. He stated that the South 8th
Avenue entrance is well down the list of major entrances to the campus. He then stated
that, based on his observations, most visitors to the campus for special events use the
South 11th Avenue and South 19th Avenue /West Lincoln Street entrances at the present
time.

east side of South 6th Avenue will only push parking problems further out into the com-
munity.
Mr. Overturf stated that he has watched traffic leaving the campus after ball
games; and he noted that it is bumper -to- bumper along South 7th Avenue /South 8th Ave-
nue, extending from West Cleveland Street to West Grant Street. He stated that closure of
South 7th Avenue will only change traffic patterns and parking patterns, and will make it
more difficult to live in that residential section of the community. He then expressed dis-
agreement with the perception that the students mean more than the taxpayers in that
area.
Mr. John Schlegelmilch, 818 South 6th Avenue, stated he is surprised at this pro-
posal by MSU to change the traffic patterns by closing South 7th Avenue. He then stated
opposition to the proposed closure, stating he does not feel that the impacts have been
adequately considered. He noted that from Mr. Rose's comments, it appears that MSU in-
tends to wait and see if any problems develop after South 7th Avenue is closed, then ad-
dress those problems later.
Mr. Schlegelmilch then took issue with the premise that vehicular/ pedestrian con-
flicts would be mitigated with this street closure. He noted that it would solve the prob-
lems on South 7th Avenue; however, those problems would only be relocated to South 6th
Avenue under this proposal.
Mr. Schlegelmilch noted that the 1983 master plan for the campus shows the new
engineering/ physical sciences building being constructed across South 7th Avenue. He
noted, however, that is a document which undergoes constant revision; and he feels that
the siting of the building could be changed if necessary. He then stated that the closure
of South 7th Avenue is a very important issue and should be carefully considered.
Ms. Sheila Devitt, 814 South 6th Avenue, spoke on behalf of the Cooper Park his-
toric neighborhood, closely following the memo which had been submitted to the Commission
at the beginning of this meeting. She requested that neighborhood concerns be addressed
at the same time as the proposed closure of South 7th Avenue. She noted that residents
in the area of Cooper Park have conducted informal neighborhood meetings and concurred
that the proposed closure of South 7th Avenue might be good for the MSU campus; and
that same concept might be a good one in this residential area as well.
Ms. Devitt expressed concern that the traffic rerouted to South 6th Avenue will
travel along that roadway to West Babcock Street, rather than moving to South 8th Avenue
as projected by Mr. Rose. She noted that the routing of additional traffic into an existing
residential neighborhood is undesirable because major roadways tend to split a neighbor-
hood and threaten the safety of children and pedestrians. She also expressed concern
that adding traffic to this residential area could result in a decrease in property values.

extension of South 11th Avenue.
Assistant City Engineer Craig Brawner stated support for determining what may
happen in the future with extension of South 11th Avenue south of Kagy Boulevard. He
also asked what MSU's master plan projects for South 11th Avenue between Kagy Boulevard
and West College Street. He then stated that all of the roadways in and around campus
should be addressed as a unit, rather than on a piecemeal basis.
Mr. Marty Hamilton, 3 09 South 6th Avenue, asked to what extent MSU could assist
in determining alternatives to route traffic if South 7th Avenue is closed.
Mr. Bill Rose stated appreciation for the concerns which have been raised, noting
that change carries with it some unknowns. He then addressed the questions and con-
cerns raised by the various individuals. He stated that the shifting of traffic because of
the proposed South 7th Avenue closure and the southward extension of South 11th Avenue
have been raised by several individuals. He reiterated that South 7th Avenue is not a
north /south arterial because it dead ends at Cooper Park; and South 6th Avenue is not an
arterial because it dead ends at the Physical Plant. He then stated that South 6th Avenue
is adequate to accommodate the projected additional traffic; and parking could be eliminated
along the east side of the street if more traffic than projected uses the street and it was
determined the roadway was not adequate as it currently exists.
Mr. Rose then stated that the amount of vehicular /pedestrian conflict would be dra-
matically reduced because the number of residents east of South 6th Avenue is substantial-
ly less than those east of South 7th Avenue. He further noted that if the City implements
a neighborhood parking district, many of those entering campus from the east will be re-
located because they will no longer be able to park along those streets.
Responding to Mr. Overturf's comment, Mr. Rose stated that taxpayers in the com-
munity are as important as the students; however, he does not believe they are any more
important.
Mr. Rose noted that Ms. Devitt's proposal would create separate neighborhoods,
questioning the necessity of such actions in Bozeman. He noted her proposal is detailed
and well thought out; however, he does not feel it is an issue in the request before the
Commission. He then reiterated his observation that people tend to use controlled streets;
therefore, he feels that traffic using South 6th Avenue will move to South 8th Avenue be-
fore traveling northward.
Mr. Bill Rose stated that the price of stickers for parking on campus this year will
rise to $42, which is just a couple dollars below the average for this area; and there will
no longer be a break for more than one vehicle per family. He suggested that this in-
crease in parking fees may cause some of those presently using vehicles to find alterna-
tives.
