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.

PY12 budget and work plan
(Attachment B) Keri noted she did included updated statute language in the
descriptive part of the document. 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.

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. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me at 406,9216823,
