Public Comment - none. Meeting Minutes Open and continued as no quorum present. N7Rehab applications and presentations Brett Potter presented updates on UHaul project. He received the response to the Board's letter, summarizing the owners want a comprehensive plan, i.e. paint on building, battery stations and landscaping, before they will continue with upgrades. Brett showed the latest update to the painting plan; Keri said Tim McHarg would have to answer their questions. Brett went onto say they want the work done by the end of this September. For the previously discussed cost share of the sidewalk/boulevard improvements the board would have to vote at the September 1 meeting. If Tim approves the franchise paint plan next week, Brett continued, he would be ready to request a work permit. He said a letter of intent is needed from the board, concurrent with sketch plan review and bids in place by September 1. Keri said participation agreement would be needed for board to contribute these monies. Discussion. Scott proposed that if Tim allows the franchise paint request Brett should then put a l--page bullet sheet together for the board. Discussion continued. Special board meeting might be required with this timeline to vote on percentage of or do not exceed amount text for the participation agreement as well as where in the budget to pull dollars. Keri said a board meeting isn't needed until the sketch plan review is done. She also noted that a revised work and budget plan would then have to go before the commission as a consent item. Frontier Pies site - Scott asked that if a buyer decides to demolish and make into all parking is there anything to trigger required improvements on that site? Discussion. Lighting project update (Attachment A) Dustin handed out the project status report from Kevin, noting this will be a monthly document given to the board by Morrison Maierle. Scott pointed to section 11 of the report asking if the new lighting will be short of meeting the MDT standards. Discussion.

It is due to the city clerk on August 11 and the public hearing will be August 22. She will be taking photos to add. to her presentation. TIF description on tax bills Keri reported on Anna's chat with the County's Kim Buchanan, The decision was to leave the TIF as a separate line item, adding a description. FYI Keri asked if board still wanted to do an outreach event about the lighting district. The discussion included an affirmative but with the realization will probably have to be an indoor event this Fall/Winter. Adjournment Scott adjourned the meeting at 5:3l.pm.

MMI#: 0417-063 Date; August 4,2011 1, GENERAL PROJECT STATUS The City of Bozeman Commission approved the Professional Services Agreement with Morrison-Maierle, Inc.on July 11,2011. We began the preliminary design phase immediately and to date have completed the majority of the topographic survey for the entire corridor,from 1-90 to Main St.(TBC to R.O.W,both sides), A few survey items still remain;including utility locates(phone,elec.,gas,cable,fiber,etc.)as well as boundary survey work on the west side of N.7th where additional R-0,W,is necessary. 11. ITEMS FOR UPCOMING PERIOD With the mapping created from the topographic survey,we will begin with layout of the light pole locations based on the conceptual layout from Allied./CTA. The conceptual lighting layout,in combination with an existing light level analysis,will allow us to modify the layout as necessary to meet City of Bozeman ant]MDT requirements. Based on previous conversations with MDT,they have stated that they would require that current lighting levels be maintained with the new lighting. This would mean that the new lighting would not be required to meet current MDT lighting standards. This will be verified over the next month. During the upcoming period we will also begin work on the visual renderings of the luminaries along the corridor. If"renderings are complete by next month,they will be presented to the board. HL OTHER ITEMS We will continue to keep you infouned throughout this project or)a monthly basis,or more frequently as necessary.
