REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Debbie Arkell, Public Services Director
Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director
Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Storm Water Utility Policy Discussion
MEETING DATE: April 9, 2012
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Consider information presented and provide staff with direction to:
• Proceed with the creation of a storm water utility, including which method(s) of
assessment to further investigate if direction is given to proceed with the creation of a
storm water utility.
OR
• Not proceed with the creation of a storm water utility.
BACKGROUND: During past goal setting sessions the City Commission discussed the
possibility of creating a storm water utility to more effectively treat and manage Bozeman's
storm water runoff and subsequent discharge to local streams and rivers. The City contracted
with HDR Engineering to conduct a study of the City's storm water system condition and
treatment efforts and provide recommendations to improve the quality of runoff than enters area
tributaries, primarily Bozeman Creek. In May 2008, the City received the results of that study
which included a system inventory and analysis, policy evaluation, permit compliance and
recommendations. Since that time the City has worked to implement the recommendations as
resources were made available. One of the recommendations is that the city creates a storm
water utility to fund the required terms and conditions of the state-issued discharge permit.
The City's current efforts include its street sweeping and leaf pickup programs, clearing and
cleaning storm drain inlets, and the requirement for private treatment of storm water runoff
through on-site retention/detention facilities that collect and passively treat storm water.
Presently, city crews do not proactively assess (TV) storm water pipes, but make repairs when
problems arise.
DEQ Discharge Permit. In 2002, the DEQ served notice that Bozeman must apply for and be
issued a Montana Pollutants Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) General Permit for Storm
Water Discharge Associated with Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). Our
first permit application was submitted, as required, in March 2003, and in July 2006 DEQ issued
our first permit, which expired December 31, 2009. The permit was renewed in January 2010
and must again be renewed in January 2015. We are the lead permittee in a co-permit issued to
the City of Bozeman, Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), and Montana State
University (MSU).
The MS4 permit specifically authorizes the co-permittees to discharge storm water from the
City's, MSU's, and MDT's municipal separate storm sewers to the sections of various streams
including Spring Creek, Bozeman Creek, Bridger Creek, and the East Gallatin River that are
within Bozeman city limits. The permit specifically outlines terms and conditions which must
be met each year of the permit. An annual report detailing how the terms and conditions of the
permit were met must be submitted to DEQ each year. The city staff engineer in charge of storm
water, currently Dustin Johnson, P.E., gathers the required information from the co-permittees
and submits the required annual report to DEQ.
Our MS4 Permit also requires that we monitor the effects of storm water that enters Bozeman
Creek by sampling the water during two significant rain events twice each year; once in the
period between January and June, and once between July and December. Three samples are
taken from the two DEQ-approved sample sites, with a sample taken upstream of the discharge,
a sample taken at the point of discharge, and a sample taken downstream of the discharge. The
two sample locations are on Tamarack Street by the City Shops Complex (industrial site) and on
Langohr Avenue near Kagy Boulevard (residential site).
Audit of MS4 Permit and Permit Violation. In August 2011, DEQ audited our MS4 permit. The
audit resulted in one Permit Violation, 16 Program Deficiencies, 23 Recommendations for
Improvement, and eight Commendable Elements. A summary of the audit results is attached.
The permit violation identified in the audit was in the Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination permit component. While we have various information and maps regarding our
storm water systems, we do not have one map that contains all of our storm water information.
We are required to compile this information into one comprehensive map of the storm water
system and receiving waters, and the map must be reproducible and readily available for use by
the public, city departments, and MS4 stakeholders. Our response to DEQ regarding the
violation is that staff is developing a work plan to address the deficiencies in the city's existing
storm water mapping system. We intend to utilize the City's GIS mapping system to accurately
gather all the existing record drawings, quarter section maps, and incorporate field collected data
points to create a central storm water map for the city.
In addition to the violation, the deficiencies require better record keeping, regular storm water
inspections, inventories of industrial and heavy commercial facilities, education, and planned
maintenance of the system.
The TMDL Process: Currently the DEQ is developing the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
of nutrients that can be discharged into the East Gallatin River. Once the TMDL is set, those
limits will eventually be included into our MS4 discharge permit (as well as our Water
Reclamation Facility discharge permit) as storm water can contain a high level of nitrogen from
landscape fertilizers. Until the TMDL is established, we will not know what the impact it will
have on our MS4 permit, if any.
Moving forward. The first step in developing a more comprehensive and progressive storm
water treatment program is to complete the required comprehensive map and conduct a facility
condition assessment. This includes GIS mapping all existing storm water collection, treatment
and discharge assets and assessing their condition. Some of this work has been completed
through previous efforts, but more comprehensive information for the entire system needs to be
collected and managed through the City's GIS and Cityworks asset management systems. This
information will form the basis for a comprehensive work plan to address collection, treatment,
discharge and deferred maintenance issues.
The majority of the mapping work is proposed to be completed by a new GIS Technician who
will work under the GIS Manager, but will be substantially funded by the proposed storm water
utility. The current GIS Specialist and GIS Manager will also assist in the work. The full
comprehensive mapping work will take several years to complete, but we believe we can
develop a map to minimally address the violation within the next 12-months. The City's water
and wastewater operations division will undertake the TV inspection, maintenance and repair of
underground storm water facilities. The City's streets division will continue to sweep streets,
collect leaves, and maintain the above-ground facilities. The majority of this maintenance
program is proposed to operate during the summer and fall months with the assistance of
seasonal laborers.
Funding Methodologies. As mentioned earlier, the City's Storm Water Facilities Plan
recommends the creation of a storm water utility to more fully fund and manage the City's storm
water program. Several Montana cities have created storm water utilities or assessments to fund
and manage their storm water programs. These include Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, and
Billings. There are a number of assessment/charge methodologies to fund a new storm water
utility. Below are what we believe to be the most likely methods to consider should the
Commission desire to create a utility.
• Per Meter/Per Month (referred to as Method A)
This simple method divides the amount of funding needed annually to operate the
storm water program by the number of water meters in the city. Each meter is then
charged an equal monthly fee, or the fees can be weighted among the various billing
categories such as residential, multi-family, industrial, government and commercial.
This methodology, while simple to assess and calculate, has its limitations as all
properties are charged the same. In the case of MSU, the campus is served by several
meter pits and storm water utility charges based off of those meter pits may not
adequately account for the storm water impacts created by the university.
• Per Meter Size/Per Month (referred to as Method B)
This method is also fairly simple. A formula is created to assess a percentage of the
funding needed annually to operate the storm water program by the size of the water
meter serving every structure. Each meter is then charged a monthly fee based on the
size of the water meter. This methodology has similar limitations to Method A above.
3. Zoning + Lot Square Footage (referred to as Method C)
Fees are based on the zoning of the property and the square footage of the lot,
applying a weighting factor to different zones. In this method, a rate is assigned to
each zoning district in the city and each property owner is charged accordingly based
on the size of the specifically zoned lot. The cities of Great Falls, Kalispell, and
Billings use this method.
4. Impervious Surface (not calculated)
The Impervious Surface Area Method is based on the square footage of impervious
area (i.e. building, concrete, asphalt) on each assessed lot. The City of Helena uses
this method. This would require a considerable amount of hours of support from the
GIS department to determine roughly how much impervious area is contained on
each lot in the City. This would be accomplished using GIS aerial mapping,
development plans, building permits and on-site visits. This method requires a great
deal of coordination up front but would be easier to maintain once established. If this
method is proposed, consideration should be given whether properties that have a
private storm water detention/retention/treatment facility (such as the Gallatin Valley
Mall) should receive some type of credit for those facilities.
5. Drainage Districts (not calculated)
When the creation of a storm water utility was discussed with the Commission in
2009, two Commissioners expressed concern that the newer parts of town that have
modern (surface) storm water infrastructure would be subsidizing the older parts of
town if the assessment was not properly assigned. Separate storm water drainage
districts could be determined - once the comprehensive map is completed - that
identify areas of the city that drain into the underground storm water piping system.
An extensive survey/analysis would be necessary to provide adequate precision for
variations in topography. In this scenario, each district would be evaluated by its
ability to treat storm water within its boundary so that areas located in the older parts
of town, which may have deteriorated storm water infrastructure, would pay higher
rates than other areas of town that have modern infrastructure that treats runoff.
Annual Budget: The methodology chosen will be used to charge City residents for the costs of
our Storm Water Utility. We have had numerous meetings among staff members to compile a
proposed FY13 Budget, a 5-Year Budget & Rate Estimate, and a 5-Year Capital Improvement
Plan.
We anticipate creating this utility in a start-up phase that will likely span about 3 years before we
have a solid understanding of what the future ongoing costs for administration, repair and
maintenance are likely to be. During this time, we'll be relying on existing Public Works staff
to manage and coordinate the program work, and sharing equipment among departments in order
to accomplish important tasks.
FY13 Budget: Our DRAFT Recommended Budget for the first year of operations is described
in Exhibit E. Many of the items are transfers of costs from our existing Street Maintenance
District budget (noted as moved "From (Fund) 111".) The items labeled "NEW" and highlighted
in blue total $240,290; they represent operating and capital costs that we currently DO NOT
have. These are the items that will allow us to expand our efforts to meeting permit
requirements in the future. The budget totals $394,000.
Of the total budget, we'll be transferring $153,000 in costs from our existing Street Maintenance
District for Sweeper and Leaf Clean up related costs. This represents approximately 7% of our
total existing Street Maintenance District assessments in FY12. We would decrease the FY13
Street Maintenance District Budget by these amounts.
The proposed operating plan for FY13 includes:
• Hiring a new GIS Technician and two summer interns for mapping our storm water system
• Allocating 60% of the costs of Street Sweeping program (Labor, Maintenance, and Lease
Payments) to the Utility.
• Retrofit of an existing back-up TV Van for use in Year 2 of the Utility.
Anticipated for Year 2: (see Exhibit F)
• Continuation of mapping and sweeping efforts.
• Addition of a summer crew of a Foreman and Seasonal to operate the TV Van and assess
the condition of underground pipes and detention ponds/inlets.
• Addition of an Environment Coordinator position (shared with Water & Sewer Utilities)
that would be responsible for construction site inspections, public outreach & education,
and our permit requirements.
Capital Improvements Plan (Exhibit G): We have developed a draft Capital Improvements Plan
for the Storm Water Utility, transferring 60% of the costs of Street Sweeping capital and adding
projects recommended by the Facility Plan, known projects related to the MDOT Rouse Avenue
re-construction, and necessary equipment.
In Year 3, you'll see that we begin funding "STRM04 General Treatment Systems,
Rehabilitation, and Replacement." In years where specific projects are not identified, we have
left a general placeholder so that $200,000 is allocated annually to treatment and repair projects.
This is the bulk of the infrastructure work that will be completed by the utility. We are strong
advocates of making treatment systems a priority, as they have the biggest impact on the water
quality of surrounding streams and creeks.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: As with most policy discussions, there are numerous unresolved
issues. We would like to highlight the fact that our estimates of monthly charges to residents are
merely a starting point for our discussions. There are MANY factors that could be introduced
that would materially change the amounts, such as: caps on total monthly charges per customer,
caps on monthly square footage charged, changes in weighting factors amount different
customer classes, meter sizes, or zoning designations.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The financial effects of creating a Storm Water Utility are:
1. Transfer of some of the existing costs for Street Sweeping, Leaf Clean Up, and Permit
Compliance (totaling $153,000) from our existing Street Maintenance District to the Storm
Water Utility fund.
2. Addition of $240,500 in operating and capital costs to begin the work of the Storm Water
Utility.
• Hiring a GIS Technician and GIS Interns to map our Storm Water system
3. Monthly charges to City Residents in the form of a Storm Water Utility fee, totaling
$475,000 in the first year. (Estimated in Exhibit H.) These charges could be based on a
number of different methodologies and factors. The Commission would need to establish
any necessary weighting factors and address issues related to caps and/or vacant land.
i. Method A: Per Meter Per Month. Estimated at $3.74/month.
ii. Method B: Per Meter Size Per Month. Estimated at $3.52/month for a 5/8"
(residential sized) meter.
iii. Method C: Zoning + Lot Sq Ft Per Month. Estimated at $0.51/month for a 7,500 sq
ft lot in R-1 Zone.
iv. Method D: Impervious Service. Not yet calculated
v. Method E: Drainage Districts. Not yet calculated.
ALTERNATIVES:
• Continue to rely on the City's current efforts and funding sources to address storm water.
• Other suggestions as recommended by the Commission.

Executive Summary
Executive Summary
Bozeman has been expedencing mpid gowth and development and is faced with a new
federal storm water permit requirement (the Phase 2 rule). In response to these issues, the
City ptepared this Storm Water Facilities Plan. The most significant recommendations
coming out of this plan ate:
o ]tloving forward with establishing a funding source for storm water
o Guidance for development of a uniform approach to development submittals
o Continuing to rely upon development-based storm watet management until the
Phase 2 program and creation of a utility are more advanced
The goals of this plan, along rvith work completed, are summaized below.
Goal 1 - Inventory the Existing System
An inventory of the existing storm water system was completed by compiling storm
w-ater information from grid maps, plat maps, subdirision drarvings, and field work.
This inventory was conyerted to the City's GIS system. This system inventory is
discussed in Chapter 1 (Existing System Inventory) and Appendlx A @'xisting
Syst€m Inventory Data).
Goal 2 - Plan for Future Growth
Growth trends and projected future land use were evaluated to determine potential
future storm water impacts. In addition, a review of Ciq'poliq'was conducted to
allow the City to handle that growth most effectively. This evaluation is presented in
Chaptet 3 @olicy Evaluation). In addition, ten best management Pmctices are
presented in Appendlr D-2.
Goal 3 - Evaluate Existing Problem Ateas
Ptoblem ateas, deficiencies, and areas of known flooding within the existing stotm
water system were identified and evaluated. Several storm water Proiects are
tecommended to address these deficiencies. The deFrciencies are discussed in
Chapter 2 (System Analysis), and recommendations are ptovided in Chaptet 6
S.ecommended Plan).
Goal 4 - Storm Watet System Analysis
A model was completed for the pte-developed, existing, and future 2020 conditions
scenarios for tle entire Ciq'. A small portion of the overall model was designated as
the pilot basin and studied in greater detail In this area, detailed storm water
inftastructure data was gatheted by GPS and used in the model. The pupose of this
pilot basin model was to ptoride the City with a model to build on. IModeling
information is presented in Chaptet 2 (System Analysis).
Goal 5 - NPDES Permit Application and Implementation
The City of Bozeman was required in 2003 to apply for a permit (ftom Montana
Depattment of EnvLonmental Quality) to discharge storm water into surface watet
Exhibit A
Eozeman Storm Water Facilities Plan
atound the City. The permit application requires the City to implement a Storm
Water Management Program, including six minimum control measures that ate
descdbed in Chaptet 4 (National Pollutaflt Discharge Elirnination System Phase 2
Petmit Compliance). The cunent estimated cost of the program is about 9100,000
per year, however, the program is in its infancy and its likely more significant
opentional and capital cost will come as the progmm matu.res.
Goal 6 - Financial Plan
A finqnsizl plet *.s completed for the City's storm watet systetn. The City does not
currently have a dedicated source of revenue to fund storm water related wotk.
Chaptet 5 (Financi.l Management Evaluation) provides an overview of various
funding altematives and tecommends the City form a utility. Chapter 5 also discusses
the Govemment Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirements, current storm
v/atet expenditues, and potenri.l futute needs.
Goal 7 - Recommended Pl,an
Recommended changes to curent City of Bozeman design studies and development
ptactices are presented in Chapter 6 $.ecommended Plan), along with a proposed
storm water design review fofln (see Appendix G), checklisg and revised submittal

financing methodologies available to municipalities.
H.l Legal Considerations
The Cig'of Bozeman operates financially within the legislation set forth by the goveming
legal institutions. In ordet to evaluate potential funding options, the following information
is ororided.
H.l.t lmpact Fee Senate Bill No. 185 (SB 185)
Senate Bill No. 185 (SB 185) became effective on April 19,2005. SB 185 authorizes counties,
cities, towns, and consolidated local govemments to impose impact fees upon new
development to fund all ot a portion of the public facility capital irnprovements affected by
the new development; providing definitions; providing a method fot calculating, imposing,
and collecting impact fees; and providing an immediate effective date and an appLicabiliq.
date. Section 5 of SB 185 specifi.es that a local govemment that is imposing impact fees on
ot befote the effective date of this act shall bring those fees into compliance with this act by
October 1,2006. This bill is an important piece of legislation supponing the City of
Bozeman in collecting impact fees for capital improvements.
H.I.2 Montana Code Annotated (MCA)
The Nlontana Code Annotated is normally published each odd numbered year incorporating
changes made by the Legislative Session of that year to the lMontana Code. The following
secdons *'ere taken from the N{CA 2005, and provide the legislative background for storm
water-related activities.
7-13-101, Authorization to cteate mefopolitan sanitary and/ot storm sewer districts.
Whenever the public convenience and necessity may require, in order to construct sanitary
and/ot storm sewer systems within any county, which sanitary and/ot storm sewer systems
would serve the inhabitants ofany county as well as the inhabitants ofany city or town
vithin said count)', the boatd of counq commissioners, with the apptoval of the city or
tou'n council, may crcate mctropolian sanitary and/or storm sewer districts.
7-13-f,22. Status of federal property within metropolitan sanitary and/or stom sevr'er
district. Whenever any lot, piece, or parcel ofland belonging to the United States or
mandatory of the govemment shall front upon the proposed wotk or improvement ot is to
be included within the distnct declared by the board of county commissioners in its
resolutj.on of intention to be a district to be assessed to pay the cost and expenses thereof,
the board shall in the resolution of intention declate that the said lots, pieces, or parcels of
land shall be omitted from the assessment to be made thereto to cover the cost and expenses
of said work or improvement, and the cost of said work or improvement in front of said
lots, pieces, or patcels of land shall be paid by the countl from its general fund.
7 -13-4304. Authority to chatge fot services. The goveming body of a municipality
opetating a municipal watet or seurer s)'stem shall fix and establish, by ordinance or
resolution, and collect tates, tentals, and charges for the senices, facilities, and benefits
direcdy or indirecdy afforded by the system, taking into account services provided and
benefits received
H-1
Exhibit C
Bozeman Storm Water Facilities Plan
76-3-510. Payment for extension of capital facilities. A local govemment may require a
subdivider to pay or guanntee payment for part or all of the costs of extending capital
facilities related to public health and safeg, including but not limited to public roads, sever
lines, water supply lines, and storm drains to a subdivision. The costs must reasonably teflect
the expected impacts direcdy attributable to the subdil-ision. A local govemment may not
require a subdivider to pay or guarantee payment for part or all of the costs of constructing
or extending capital facilities related to education.
H.t.3 Self Governing Powers
The City of Bozeman is a local government with self-goveming powers. In an opinion
rendered in 2004, the City of Bozeman attorney stated "A local govemment with self-
goverffnent powers may set rates for watef and sewer sefl ice'ffithout fegard to the
requitements of Nlontana Code Annotated 7 -13-4304."
H.2 Funding Options
There are a number of funding options discussed in the body of the report. This section of
the appendix provides additional detail on some of those funding options.
Enterprise Funds - Utility Funds
The rnost cor non funding system found in local govemments after the genetal fund is the
entetprise fund. Enterprise funds ate usually designated for a speciFrc set ofsen'ices that are
provided. Typical examples are those that fund municipal refuse collection s)'stems, water
sen-ice, servet maintenance, or any other designated service. The expenses for this qpe of
fund are dedicated to providing a sen'ice to the municipalig, and tevenues that fund that
sen-ice are derived from fees that are charged to the users. IUost enterpfise funds consist of
expenses for providing the serrice and also include direct expenses such as salaries, benefits,
materials and supply, and capital ouday. The City of Bozeman uses proprietary funds such as
the enterprise fund to account fot the financing, acquisition, opetation and maintenance of
vatet, sewet, and solid waste facilities, which are supported by uset chatges. During fiscal
year 2005, the City of Bozeman general funds constituted 24o/o of the annual appropriations.r
Because enterprise funds are suppoted b1' various othet dir-isions within a municipal
govemment structure, vadous indirect expenses are usually intemally allocated to the
enterptise funds and qpically include costs associated with or-erhead and administtation,
such as human resources, financial, and legal services, as well as fleet maintenance, facilities,
and other costs. These indirect expenses are allocated to the enterpdse fund on a cost-
allocation basis, usually through a comprehensive study that detemines the "fa} share" of
these overhead costs to the enterprise fund.
Revenues are derived from fees that are established by the city commission. These fees ate
based on the delivery of a measurable sen'ice unit, rvhethet it's the cost of picking up the
trash at the location or the cost of processing the quantity of seu'age ot storm vater
estimated to be generated by the location. Although in some cases the fees are a mandatory
charge resulting from health and safety needs-fot example, rveekly tefuse collection----other
portions of the fee may be based on the desired services that the location voluntarily elects

Appendix H: Financial Methodologies
to receive. Even in cases where charges are mandatory a flexible level of sen'ice can be
pror-ided at various funding ler-els, the City's curent solid waste fee is an example of a level
of service charge.
rWater znd wastewater seryices ate well suited for entemdse funds because there is a unit of
measurable service resulting from the sen ice usage by the property owner. Storm water
sen'ices are increasingly being considered for enterprise funds as well, but because the
sen'ices are not always as appatent to fesidents and businesses, establishing a stom water
enterprise fund or utility is often contoversial. Ongoing sewices such as street sweeping and
intake cleaning might be good candidates for inclusion in an enterprise approach.
Water serr.ice fees usually include 6,xed capital costs, also known as standby costs, in their
tates. In other words, there is a cost of having the inftastructure system available and
standing by, just in case you would like to use it. Storm water ptograms can use similat
approaches based on the needed infrastructure. However, the challenge facing the storm
water manager in establishing the fixed system cost is in establishing an allocadon approach
that would be equitable for all users. Various strategies may be used such as using
impermeable surface area as a factor for calculating potential runoffs are good, but actual use
of the system depends on the actual quantity of runoff. Detailed engineering and feasibilitl'
studies would need to be undertaken in order to develop appropriate-and, more
importandy, legally defensible-fee strucnues under an enterprise fund approach. Because
the cost of petforming such studies for every parcel of land is ptohibitive, some programs
choose to charge a flat rate fot properties with similat land uses, ot to chatge a flat rate for
residential parcels and perhaps calculate the tate separately for commercial and industrial
parcels.
Special Districts
Special districts or assessment districts are anothef t'?e of funding structure that may be
useful in ptoviding funding for ptogtams within a specific geographical atea. These districts
ate usually rvell-defined and based on legally described physical boundaries. All propetty
within a special district is assessed a fee for the senices delivered and the cost of those
sen'ices. Typically, there are two categodes of special districts. Capital imptovements for
infrastructure proiects are one qpe of special district projects, examples in the Cig. of
Bozeman include the Babcock Steet SID and the Northwest WaterLine SID that have
funded specific ptoiects for specific areas of the community. The second type of special
drri.t ...i1i..6 ;r Bozeman is the Street and Tree Maintenance districts that provide funding
fot overall maintenance of sffeets and trees for the entire city. It should be noted that the
state law language allowing fot the creation of sffeet maintenance districts is a limiting factor
in what storm water telated sen'ices could be included as pat of the street maintenance
assessments.
Such efforts as annual inlet cleaning, opetation and maintenance of oil and grease
interceptors, maintenance of rash racks in storm channels, and other annual costs could be
included in the service package for the special distfict. As with enterprise fees, the challenge
is the allocation ofcost back to the ptoperty owner and the nexus between the service
deliveted and the cost paid. However, unlike enterprise funds, the cost of the sen'ice in a
special district is based on property owne$hip in the district, not the actual use of a sen'ice.
A vacant piece ofproperty rnight be assessed the same unit cost as an adjacent house; this
might taise equity issues that should be considered and addressed during the formation of
the assessment district.
H-3
Exhibit C
Bozeman Storm Water Facilities Plan
In many cases, special districts are formed at t}le time large parcels are subdivided and
developed. In order to form a special district to proride maintenance, all the ptoperty
ownets in the proposed district have a right to protest the creation of such a district.
Obviously, ifa single owner conrols the entire parcel; such a protest ptolision would be
relatively straightforward. But in tJre event that a district is ptoposed for an existing tract of
developed property, a m^jority of property owners hust vote positively for the assessment
district, with various limitations
Politically, the challenge in establishing a special district is that the elected official is asking
each properq' owner to pay t fee fot a sen'ice that direcdy benefits the affected ptoperty
orvners. Such fees are usually included on the tax bill as a separate assessment, and there is
no abiJiti'for the property owner to opt out of the district once it is established.
lmpact Fees
Unlike enterptise funds in which the uset of the system pays on a repeating basis fot the use
ofan ongoing sen'ice, impact fees are one-dme charges, usually the result of some acdon on
the part of a propert)'owner as it relates to use of the propeny*. For example, if someone
owns a vacant lot and decides to erect a building, he might have to pay a building permit fee,
a school disttict assessment fee, and any number of other fees to the local iurisdiction to
cover the jurisdiction's costs of inspection of the construction, or to offset the impact that
this change of use has on vadous public systems.
Many judsdictions have adopted fees that deal with the cost of designing, implementing,
operating, and inspecting onsite stom water runoff ptevention progtams. But such fees can
also be used for funding inftastructure improvements or operation of storm rvater
management Progfams.
The limitation on the use of development fees is that they represent a one-time payment and
therefore cannot be used for ongoing system maintenance and expansion of the various
programs and projects to meet increasingly stringent regulatory mandates. In addition, the
fee chatged must be reasonable for a given use of the funds. If the City ofBozeman chooses
to use development fees as a method for funding the stom \rater infrastmcture
improvements, they should develop and adopt a comprehensive plan that establishes the
basis fot the fee.
Other Programs
With tight budgets, a variety of cteative funding approaches that combine various strategies
described above into a new hybrid can provide funding for storm water programs from a
new source. For example, a motor vehicle license fee was established in San lt{ateo County,
CA, to fund both stom water pollution and traffic mitigation.
"rWe looked at a program to actually fund nvo things," states fuchard Napiet, execudve
director of the City/Counq' Association of Govemments of San Nfateo County. "It was to
fund [traffic] congestion relief and stofm water programs as they relate to the automobile.
To a large extent, the automobile does not teally pay its way relative to the impact that it has.
In our stofm v/ater program, a gteat deal of time is spent on source control, street sweeping,
and keeping things from running into the [San Francisco] bay. A large portion of t]rat are
tites when they weat, brake pads, oil, gasoline, anti-freeze, all sorts of things; when it tains it
just washes dght into the bay. There really is an extremely stroflg nexus to the automobile."

Exhibit C
Appendix H: Financial Methodologies
While having to get the state legislatue to adopt a local funding mechanism for storm water
may seem exfteme, picking elements from the various funding tools and combining them
into structures that can obtain btoad, cross-secdonal support will be key to meeting the
demands for more storm water-quality programs.
H.3 Structuring a Storm Water Utility
Utility functions are usually funded wholly or primarily through service or user "fees" or
"charges" that are related to the cost of providing the services and facilities. A service fee is
imposed on persons or properties for the purpose of recovedng the cost of service. This
requires that a cost of service study aod rate analysis be performed to propetly allocate and
tecover the cost of setvice. The genetal standard applied to utility seflrice fees is that the mte
methodology must be fair and reasonable, and the resultant charges must bear a substantial
telationship to the cost of providing the services and facilities. However, locally elected
officials have a great deal of latitude in attaining these obiectives in the context of local
cucrunstances as they see them. \?hen municipal utiJity tates have been subjected to legal
challenges, the courts have tended to apply "judicial deference" to the decisions of locally
elected officials. Judicial deference holds that, unless a plaintiff can demonsrate that the
decision was arrived at arbitradly and capriciously or the result of the decision is illegally
discrirninatory, rate decisions of local legislative authodties aie not to be over-ruled by a
court's judgment.
The apparent confusion between the terminology "service chatge" and ,,assessment', in this
case may be increasingly important in the next few years- The essential characteristic ofa
"special assessment" is that it must confet some direct and special benefit to &e property
being assessed. A special assessment is based on the prernise that the property being
assessed is enhanced in value at least to the amount of the assessment. Iike service fees.
special assessments are intended for a specific purpose tathet than simply as a revenue
generating mechanism. A common requirement of assessments is that there must be a
tational linkage (nexus) between the use of the revenue derived from the assessment and the
benefit to the parry' to whom it is applied. Assessments may be based on property value (ad-
valorem) or other factors (non ad-r-alorem) such as front footage along a street or sidewalk
improvement. Regardless, the standards applied by the courts are more rigorous than in the
case ofserrice chatges (or fees), where the courts' application of iudicial deference has
allowed local legislative authorities greater latitude. It may be difFrcult to allocate storm
water quality costs on t}re basis of direct and special benefit to individual properties, making
an "assessment" to support the program difFrcult to justi$.
Exactions are most cor nonly associated with franchise rights and or the approval of
developments or development-related activities or impacts. Or-er many years the term has
come to mean and include practically any t -\ that is not an ad-valorem tax. In contrast to a
tax on propertt', an exaction (or excise tax) is not based on the assessed value of the property
but, instead, is associated with or conditioned upon the performance of an acg the engaging
in an occupation, or the enjoyment ofa pdvilege. Fot example, franchise fees on telephone
utilities are commonly based on the rationale that telephone wires are run along and thus
"use" the public rights-of-way. In many states, though not 2.11, an "impact fee" on new
development is considered an exacdon.
A significant change has recendy been occurring in traditional local govemment "utility"
functions. Historically, utility programs were considered to be proprietary public functions
H-5
Exhibit C
Bozeman Storm Water Facilities Plan
comparable in firany ways to a private business actir-ity. There is now a general tecoglition
that most municipal utility progams concurrendy also serve a geneml gor-emmental function
of protecting public health, safety, and welfare, and are regulatory progtams as well as
proprietarl functions.
In the case of stom water management, the federal Clean \7ater Act (?ublic Law 92-500)
and subsequent amendments tequire that many local govemments apply fot, obtain, and
comply with storm water discharge permits intended to limit the dischatge of pollutants to
receir-ing waters such as sreams and rivers. The Ciq'of Bozeman is now subiect to Phase II
of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System QTIPDES) program. This generally
parallels the impact of the Clean'Watet Act on local wastewater treatment Proglams, the
federal Safe Drinking Water Act on watet supply programs, and the fedetal Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act on solid waste management. In the past all of these
functions have been essentially ot primarily a proprietary function of local govemments, i.e.,
one in which cities and counties would be involved as a sen'ice providet in a mannet
comparable to a private business. Now the activities that local govemments must perform
in each case are dictated to a large degree by the regulatory tole that the federal and
associated state legislation mandate. The funding of these ptograms has become latgely
incidental to the local governments' mandated regulatory role rather than the proprietary
function itself.
It follorvs that the funding of most municipal utilities is thetefore now incidental to a
regulatory function and not associated purely with a proprietary activity. Service chatges
(fees) are adopted in tesponse to the programs necessary to meet the tegulatory mandate,
with the intent of equitably allocating and recovering the cost ofsen'ices and facilities
(including those of a regulatory nature). This cleady contrasts with taxes, which are
consideted by the courts to primarily be a revenue generating mechanism supportive of
govemmental functions and unrelated to specific applications or purposes. Such distinctions
make it very important to tie a storm water service charge rate methodology very closely to
the purposes of the program that is being funded and to the cost of ptoviding its various
sen'ices and facilities.
In addition to the regulatory mandate note above, courts in seveml states have broadened
the responsibiJities of local govemments to encompass greater involvement in soh-ing the
problems that may result from their ministerial actions. This has begun to impact municipal
util.ities especialiy.
For many years, local govemments approved subdivision and commetcial development
proposals without incurring any specific responsibility or liability for service deficiencies that
might result or impacts on nearby properties. In recent yeats, t}le courts in se\-eral states
har.e begun to make local goveflrments responsible for considering the potential for
problems through environmental impact assessments or other analyses, and for mitigating
the impacts that occur. For example, local govemments in sevetal states have been tequired
to improve downstream &ainage systems subjected to increased storm watet runoff and
resultant flooding and erosion created as a coflsequence of subdivision and commercial
development apptovals they issued. There are parallels in which local govemments have
been required to provide adequate water supply, wasteu/ater treatment, and solid waste
management to meet the needs of developments they har-e approved. As the City of
Iflissoula continues to develop and annexadons occur, its stom watet management role and
costs could be significandy influenced if older downltjll systems become inadequate due to
H-6
Exhibit C
Appendix H: Financial Methodologies
new development in upland ateas or if the City inherits responsibility for systems that are
currendy inadequate.
H.4 Additional Considerations Regarding Storm
Water Charges
An important aspect of a drainage fee model is the allocation of capital, and operation and
maintenance costs equitably among the customers. However, beneficiaties of the storm
watet management ptogram may be broadet than the current City customer base. In a
sense, development of the Storm Water lUaster Plan could be considered a multi-purpose
rvater project which ad&esses drainage needs, flood control, water quality (?hase 2 NPDES)
and potentially open space, habitat, and recreation (floodplains, riparian corridors, BMPs,
etc.). In order to take advantage of the cost allocation metlods and funding mechanisms
coftrmon to these complex projects, considemtion may be given to multiple project
beneficiaries:
o Local propert'' owners and residents
o Residents who use the associated floodplains, open space, habitat, and tecreation
amenities
o All residents of the tegion
Local Property Owners
Direcdy ot indirecdy, local property owners ffaditionally fund the bulk of storm watet
imptovements, eithet thtough tax a.ssessments or periodic user charges. They receive the
obvious bene6t fiom storm rvater management efforts in the fotm of reduced incidence of
flooding and higher property values associated with this reduced risk. Further, residential
pfoperty values increase with ptoximity to a greenbelt, an urban trail area, and other natural
amenities.
Other Residents
Residents who use the associated amenities and outdoor tecreation facilities are rvilling to
pay fot that use, according to a large body of literature. Thus, providing amenities fot
recteational use and natural resource presenation in addition to flood conffol could be used
to justify a multi-use project and, potentially, to pay for some of the facilities and their
maintenance. By defining recreadon as a project purpose (in addition to flood contol
and/or water quality), sevetal methods of recovering fees from this group could be
considered, including user fees for some of the recreation facilities, a local bigcle license tax,
special purpose sales taxes, pfoperty tax assessments, and other potential methods.
Regional Beneficiaries
All residents ofa region benefit from improved flood control, through increased property
tax revenues and improved water quality, and through the indirect economic benefits
stemming from increased local spending by those using the facilities for tecreation. All
Denver-area residents, for example, p^t-
^
t^x assessment to Urban Drainage and Flood
Control Disttict, the regional agency that develops regional and multi- judsdictional storm
water proiects. The basis for this charge is that all tesidents of the region will benefit ftom
Utban Drainage's efforts.
H-7
Exhibit C
Bozeman Storm Water Facilities Plan
Regional beneficiaries in the Bozernan atea include residents living in Gallatin County in the
r"icinitl' of the City. These residents benefit from storm water management proglam
activities tllat reduce the potential for flooding, improve water quality, and ptovide othet
community enhancements.
H.5 Funding and Operation Mechanisms for
Programs in Other Municipalities
A ter.iew of storm water programs and funding mechanisms fot communities in Ntontana
and adjacent states was completed to evaluate what other municipalities are doing in terms
of funding. The clear ttend is that for communities that have implemented any significant
storm water programs is that the funding mechanism is a utility. This trend is seen in
N{ontana, Idaho and Washington. Although many communities condnue to fund their
storm water programs through genenl funds, or as an extension of their sfteet maintenance
funds, it is clear that the level of these progtams is much less than in those communities that
have a clear dedicated funding source.
The operation of storm water programs is also evoh-ing. Historically, the focus on storm
rvater has been related to street drainage and as such operations have genetally been based
out of municipal street divisions. As the focus of storm vater programs has changed to
include water quatty, municipalities are adding storm water divisions to manage and
implement their storm water progtams. In some instances these stom water divisions tely
on other vater, u/astewater and street divisions for equipment and labor for ma.intenance
activities.
H.6 Example Storm Water Rates from Other
Municipalities
Storm water rates, programs, and policies vary gready actoss the country and actoss the state
of lt{ontana. In NIontana, Billings, Kalispell and Great Falls have storm drainage sen-ice
charges based on the land use as established by the zoning classification, rvhile Helena
measures imperrious area. Runoff factors or coefficients are assigned for each zone
classiFrcation using the rational method to estimate the runoff potential. The assigned rate
for each zone classification is applied to the amount of land area in each parcel.
Other communities are using a method where the charge rate is based on the amount of
impen'ious surface on each parcel of land. The amount of impervious surface is established
by actual measurement, often taken ftom lorv-level aerial photogtaphy. This method has a
relatively high initial cost in measuring the amount of impen-ious surface and requires
constant update when improvements are added to parcels of land. However, this method
would encoutage developers and home ownets to reduce the amount of impen'ious sutface
on their property to reduce their storm water charges.
In some cases,
^
fl^t r:;te has also been used to establish service charges. Often, when a flat
fee is included in the rate s&ucture, it is only fot a portion of the total funds being generated.
It gpically tepresents the property's share of the fixed cost of the utiliq, which includes
administration, billing, planning, and code enforcement.
H-8
Exhibit C
Appendix H: Financial Methodologies
Othet charges being made by stonn drainage utilities include special fees to cover the cost of
issuing and administrating permits or teviewing development plans. Connection fees to
reimbuse the utility fot the histotic share of its pdor investrnent are increasing. These fees
are similat to those being used by water and sewef depaftments for new customers
connecting to their utility system.
As examples, the City of Billings' current storm water utility charge generates apptoximately
$2.2 million annually. Kalispell generates about 9400,000 and Helena about 9500,000. A
portion of the expenditwes is for bond debt serrice, in support of major capital
improvements to the stoffi vater systems. Debt service, minor capital and remedial repair
projects ty,pically represent 25'h-50'/o of the overall storm watet budget (non-operational
expenses). The remaining 50oh-75oh ts for operation and maintenance.
Storm Drain utility chatges are related to the physical infiastructure, level of service and size
of the community. There is, howevet, data that provides ranges fot these chatges based on
speciFrc measures.
One measure is that storm water charges genetate g100 per acte per year. Given the Ciq's
area of about 8,320 acres, this would genemte 9831,997 per year.
A second comparable is $5-$7 per household per month. Using the City's 17,246 utiJity
accounts and the midrange Frgue of $6 per month, revenue of $1.5 million per year would
be generated.
While the above figures var), they are of the same general magnitude. This offers the City of
Bozeman an overall perspective of storm water utilities and associated costs.
It{ost cities consciously Iimit their "extent of service" (i.e., the proportion of the total
&ainage system actively managed by the City) to storm sewets in road rights-of-way and a
few easements. This has an impact on the allocation of resources to opetational expenses.
Some communities have assumed maintenance responsibility for detention facilities
constructed in conjunction with subdivisions and even commercial developments to ensure
that they temain functional. Studies elsewhere (Snohomish Counq', WA; Knon.ille, TN,
and others) indicate that sevent)'-five p5) to ninety (90) percent ofon-site detention s).stems
become dysfunctional in some mannet within seven years if not aggressively maintained.
The implication is that a city's reliance on private maintenance of on-site detention systems
may be ill-advised. A signifrcant backlog of work may be building up, with the potential for
very negative impacts on the publicly-maintained portions of the systems if the on-site
facilities do not function as designed.
Table H.6-1 presents a comparison of monthly storm water fees in N{ontana. Another
comparison offered in Table H-6-2 to other communities in the RoclrJ' N{ountain Area and
the Pacific Northurest. Many of the communities on the West coast devote a significant
effort to stom water management. A signiFrcant driver west of the Cascade Mountains is
related to climatology and that larger communities were included in the Phase 1 Storm Water
Pernit program in tlle eady 1990's. More recendy, regulatory agencies have focused on the
drier climate east of the Cascades and the Phase 2 Storm rWater NPDES program includes
many more communities. ri/ater quality protection is a maior emphasis of contemporary
tegulatory efforts.

Retrofit existing (back-up) TV Van for Storm Water Utility use.
FY13
$130,000
FY14FY15FY16Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Used to assess the condition of existing Storm Water infrastructure. We propose using an old, existing TV Van and making
retro-fits for use in our Storm Water system. The retro-fit process will take approx 6 months to bid, ship and complete;
Because this equipment is needed at the beginning of Year 2 of the utility, we are recommending funding the retrofits in Year 1.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Buy a new TV Van, or look for another used van to purchase.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Cost savings to the utility in its start-up years. Ability to accurately assess the condition of underground storm water
infrastructure and develop a maintenance and replacement plan
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Because this equipment is critical to the operation of a storm water utility, it will need to be maintained, and eventually replaced,
in future years.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
General repairs and infrastructure maintenance were recommended in the Facility Plan at $200,000 per year. After mapping and
condition assessments are complete, the utility will begin a systematic program of infrastructure repair and replacement, including
installation of Storm Water Treatment systems. In the future, specific projects and project areas will be defined. Until then,
this item acts as a financial indicator of that work program. When specific projects are scheduled in the CIP, those amounts will
reduce the $200,000 scheduled in this item each year.

***Previously STR34, STREET MAINTENANCE CIP***This is a request to replace a sweeper every 5 years. In the past we
depended on the State for funds through the MACI program to purchase a sweeper every five years if funding was available.
Funding is very sporadic. Industry standards recommend replacing municipal street sweepers every 4-5 years. We will always
pursue a sweeper through the MACI program when it becomes available. Our current fleet of sweepers include a 1991, 1999,
2005 and a 2009 model. The 1991 and 1999 models will be replaced in 2012. One is through the MACI program and one will be
leased. The 2005 will be replaced in 2017 if no MACI funds become available.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Budget 200k every year until all sweepers are replaced. Cut back on our sweeping There are no local contractors at this time.
Continue to use what we have.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Much improved operations. Better air quality. Improved storm water discharge.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
None.
FUNDING SOURCES
60% Storm Water Utility ($45,000 each year), PREVIOUSLY from Street Maintenance District. 40% Street Maintenance District
($30,000 each year.)

REGENERATIVE AIR SWEEPER
FY13 FY14 FY15
$150,000
FY16 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
***Previously STR35, STREET MAINTENANCE CIP***This is a request for a new regenerative air (RA) sweeper. This would an
addition to our sweeper fleet. RA sweepers use a blast of air to dislodge the street debris and suck it into the hopper. It reuses
the air so no polluted or particulate air is released into the atmosphere. These type of sweepers help us to comply with air
quality requirements (particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less) and storm water Best Management Practices.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Only use mechanical sweepers which discharge dust when sweeping.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
We could improve our discharge into the storm water system. Spring sweeping of the winter sand would generate less dust
therefore eliminating complaints from citizens and DEQ.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Normal sweeper maintenance costs.
FUNDING SOURCES
60% Storm Water Utility ($150,000), PREVIOUSLY from Street Maintenance District. 40% Street Maintenance District
($100,000).

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
***Previously STR36, STREET MAINTENANCE CIP***This is a request for a mechanical street sweeper. This would replace our
2005 sweeper. Mechanical sweepers still have a place in our fleet as they can be used in weather below freezing because they can
operate without water.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue to use 2005 model. Lease.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
More reliable newer equipment. Much less expense for maintenance. Better job of sweeping. Better fuel mileage and lower
emissions. Less down time.
