It is hereby found, determined and declared as follows: I 1.01 By Resolution No. 1120 and Resolution No. 1176, adopted June 3, 1964, and January 27, 1965, respectively, this Commission declared its intention to create Special Improvement District Nos. 441 and 452 for the purpose of making special improvements within and for the special benefit of said districts, each of which resolutions designated the number of the district, described the boundaries thereof, and stated the general character of the improvement to be made therein, in accord- ance with the provisions of Title 11, Chapter 22, Revised Codes of Montana 1947, as amended. By eacy of said resolutions this Commission also declared its intention to cause the cost and expense of ma.king each such improvement to be assessed against the properties included within the boundaries of the district. 1.02 Notice of the passage of each of said resolutions was given by publica- tion once each day for five consecutive days, in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, a legal, daily newspaper published wi thin the City and by mailing a copy of such notices to every person, firm or corpora tioD, or the agen t of such person, f'1rm or corporation, having real property within the proposed districts listed in his name upon the last completed assessment roll for state, county or school district taxes, at his last known address. Said notices described the general character of the improvements proposed to be made, stated the estimated cost of the improvements, designated the time when and place where the Commiss1.on would hear and pass upon all protests made against the making of such improvements or the creation of such districts, and referred to the resolutions of intention, designated above, as being on file in the offi ce of the Clerk of the City Commis sion for the description of the boundaries of said districts, all as provided in said resolutions of intention 1.03 At the time and place specified in the notices hereinabove described, this Commission met to hear, consider and pass upon all protests made against the making of each such improvements or the creation of such districts, and after con- si}era tion thereof, it was de termined an d declared tha t t he owners of more than 40% of the property to be assessed for said improvements had not filed protests in I the ti. me. and manner prescribed bylaw, and the Commission did therefore by Reso1u tion Nos. 1126 and 1184, adopted June 24, 1964, and February 24, 1965, respectively, create Special Improvement District Nos. 441 and 452, respectively, and did order the proposed improvements in accordance with the resolutions of intention desig- nated in paragraph 1.01 hereof. 1.04 Plans, specifications, maps, profiles and surveys for construction of the improvements in Special Improvement District No. 441 were prepared by the engineers acting for the City, and were thereupon examined and approved by this Commiss ion. An advertisemen t for bids for cons truction of said improvements was published in the official newspaper of the City on April 5 and April 9, 1965, calling for bids to be received on April 21, 1965, on which date the bids thereto- fore rece i ved were opened and examine d. After referring the bi ds to t he engineers for the City it was determined that the lowest regular proposal for the furnishing of all work and materials reauired for construction of said improvements in accord- ance with approved plans and specifications was the proposal submitted by Schultz & Lindsay Construction Company of Billings, Montana, whose bid specified unit prices aggregating the sum of $60,472.15 based upon quantities of work and materials esti- mated in the plans and spec lfica tions . A contract for cons tru ction of said im- provements was therefore awarded to said bidder, subject to the right of owners of property liable to be assessed to elect to take the work and enter into a wri tten contract therefor in the manner provided by Section 11-2210, which election the property owners failed to rmke, whereupon the City and said bidder entered into a written contract for construction of said improvements upon the bidder having executed and flIed a satisfactory bond wi th respect thereto. 1.05 For the construction of t he improvements in Special Improvement District No. 452 the City has enetered in~o a contract with the Montana State Highway Depar~- ment, by the terms of which the Vity is required to pay 25% of the cost of construc- tion, plus legal, administra ti ve and other costs. The Sta te Highwa y Department has awarded contracts necessary for constru..ction of said improvement, at estimated con- I tract costs of $584,172.27, based upon quantities of work and materials estimated in the plans and specifications, of which amount the City will be liable for payment of $185,000.00. i.06 It is presently estirrated that the cost and expense connected with and incidental to the formation of said improvement districts, including costs of prep- aration of plans, specifications, maps, profiles, engineering superintendance and inspection, preparation of assessment-rolls, expenses of making the assessments, the cost of work and materials under the construction contract, and all other costs and expenses, will be $72,000 for Special Improvement District No. 441 and $185,000 Commission Resolution No. 1~?18 .13 for Special Improvement District No. 452, and this Commission has jurisdiction and is reql1ired by law to levy Rnd assess such 1D tal cost upon all property wi thin the improvement 1istricts on the bases described in said resolutions of intention, to collect such s;Jecial assessments and credi t the same to the specla 1 improvement dis- trict funds created for said rUstricts, which funds are to be maintained on the official books and records of the City separate from all other City funds, to be used solely for payment of interest when due on t he bands herein authorized and for redemption of such bonds in order of their registration whenever and as often as the balance in said funds after payment of interest due is sufficient for the purpose I 1.07 For the purpose of ra ying the total cost and expense of making the improve- ments, which is to be assessed against the property within tbB di s tricts, this Commission called for the sale of separate issue s of bonds.
