For further information please see the City of Bozeman webpage at www.bozeman.net Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Chris Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution of Intent to Establish a Tax Increment Financing Industrial District MEETING DATE: October 30, 2006 BACKGROUND: One of the adopted High Priority Goals in December, 2004, was to create a tax increment financing industrial district, commonly known as Mandeville Farm. In 1989, the Montana legislature authorized cities with urban renewal plans and districts to use tax increment funding for industrial districts pursuant to Section 7-15- 4297. An industrial district may use tax increment financing pursuant to the provisions of 7-15-4282 through 7-15-4293. The purpose of the district is to provide infrastructure to encourage the growth of and retention of secondary value-adding industry. It is the intent of the City of Bozeman to create a tax increment financing industrial district in the area commonly known as Mandeville Farm comprised of property owned by both City of Bozeman and the state of Montana. RECOMMENDATION: Approve Commission Resolution 3973, intention to create a tax increment financing industrial district. FISCAL EFFECTS: None ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by Commission Respectfully submitted, ____________________________________ Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 3973 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, DECLAIRING IT TO BE THE INTENTION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN TO CREATE A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT IN THE AREA COMMONLY KNOWN AS MANDEVILLE FARM. WHEREAS, Montana Code 7-15-4298 states that; (1) infrastructure-deficient areas exist in the municipalities of the state and constitute a serious impediment to the development of infrastructure-intensive, secondary, value-adding economic development in Montana; (2) municipalities lack sufficient capital to rectify the infrastructure shortage in infrastructure- deficient areas, thus impeding the ability of municipalities to achieve economic growth through the development of secondary, value-adding industries; (3) the creation of industrial infrastructure is a matter of state policy and state concern because the state and its municipalities will continue to suffer economic dislocation due to the lack of secondary, value-adding industries; and (4) the state's tax increment financing laws should be used to encourage the creation of areas in which needed industrial infrastructure for secondary, value-adding industries could be developed.; and WHEREAS, Montana Code 7-15-4299 states that; A local governing body, by ordinance and following a public hearing, may authorize the creation of an industrial district for industrial infrastructure development projects if the proposed industrial district; and WHEREAS, on November 4, 1991 the City of Bozeman passed Ordinance 1336 ESTABLISHING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT PROGRAM TO ASSIST IN FINANCING NECESSARY INDUSTRIAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENCOURAGE THE ATTRACTION, GROWTH, AND RETENTION OF SECONDARY VALUE ADDING INDUSTRIES; and WHEREAS, The City of Bozeman wishes to encourage growth in the Mandeville Farm area; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman, Montana, as follows: Section 1.

Box 201601 Helena, MT 59620 City of Bozeman P.O. Box 1230 Bozeman, MT 59771-1230 Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Chris Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: Goal Setting for 2007 and Beyond MEETING DATE: October 30, 2006 BACKGROUND: Attached is a compilation of each of the past three goal setting discussions combined into one list for your review and consideration. I also deleted any items that have already been accomplished and put a strikethrough line on the items I assume are no longer relevant (only you can make that call, which is why they are not deleted). I have also been adding items to the list as they are e-mailed and I have added any items were we received a “below norm” score from our 2005 National Citizen Survey. In preparation for the discussion, I suggest, you identify those items that would top your priority list as well as those that would definitely not be high priorities. If you are prepared in this fashion, we can quickly shrink the list and spend the bulk of our time discussing those items that require the most debate and discussion. We also want to leave enough time to rank our goals in order of importance. Everyone from the leadership team will be present to help answer questions and assist you in this important task. RECOMMENDATION: Highlight items on the goals list that in your mind should be top priorities and cross out those items you think don’t belong on the list. FISCAL EFFECTS: These goals will be utilized in preparing the 2007/08 fiscal year budget as well as define how the administrative team will spend time and money each day. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission. Respectfully submitted, ____________________________ Chris A.
