COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2162
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
REQUESTING THAT GALLATIN COUNTY COMMIT FUNDS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS FOR
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE BOZEMAN MUNICIPAL LIBRARY.
WHEREAS, The City of Bozeman has maintained a public library for many years, the I
present structure alone dating back to 1904; and
WHEREAS, the voters of the City have approved a bond issue of $1,460,000 for the
construction of a new library which is intended to provide expanded and improved fac-
ilities to all users; and
WHEREAS, the designation as headquarters library for the Broad Valleys Federation
provides a greater inventory of books and services to Gallatin residents and-other~member-
counties; and
WHEREAS, users surveys taken over the past years have consistently reflected and
proved that from 29% to 37% of all users do not live within the limits of the City, and
therefore do not contribute tax funds to support library services; and
WHEREAS, Gallatin County has acknowledged such use in recent years, allocating and
remitting portions of revenue sharing and other funds to the City of Bozeman, to assist
in library maintenance costs; and
WHEREAS, remittances have not been of a priority nature, and have not approached the
pro rata share of library use generated by Gallatin County residents;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bozeman City Commission respectfully requests
that Gallatin County commit funds on an annual basis for operation and maintenance of the
Bozeman Municipal Library, and that such funds be determined on a formula basis which re-
flects the usage by County residents.
DATED this 30th day of January,1980.
