CITY MANAGER’S BUDGET MESSAGE
___________________________________________________________
May 29, 2007
Bozeman City Commission:
I am pleased to present the City Manager’s Recommended Budget for the Fiscal Year 2007
-2008. At its core, this budget is designed to further the City’s vision of “Bozeman, the
most livable place.”
Work Plan
In January, the Commission set the foundation for budget development in the form of an
adopted work plan. The work plan incorporates both “new initiatives” and “ongoing priori-
ties”. While a small number of work plan items have been completed, many remain to be
accomplished in the coming year. Some of these items have large implications for the city
financially.
On-Going Priorities
• Adopt updated impact and utility rate fees. (Summer 2007)
• Review and implement recommendations of the workforce housing task force. (Winter of 2007)
• Implement Charter Provisions. (Fall 2007)
• Join the solid waste district. (March 2007)
• Adopt a specific process and set criteria for reviewing request for the “big box” funds .(March
2007)
• Open bids for the construction of the parking garage. (Winter 2007)
• Complete an analysis of the police department for staffing levels and facilities, specifically deal-
ing with traffic enforcement. (Winter 2007)
• Wallace Street/Library lands redevelopment. (Spring 2007)
New Initiatives
• Educate the public on the necessity for, and passage of, a Public Safety mill levy. (Fall 2007)
• Resolve library debt. (Winter 2007)
• Appoint task force to make recommendations to implement and measure principles outlined in
the Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement – adopted November 27, 2006. (Winter 2007)
• Schedule a working trip to Fort Collins in order to learn what has gone well or failed since Fort
Collins grew from our current size to over twice our size (include staff, Chamber & MSU.)
(Spring 2008)
• Be actively engaged in the 2007 legislative session focused on expanding the ability for local
elected officials and citizens to make decisions regarding: (Winter 2007)
• Local option resort taxes and/or a general sales tax;
• Local option accommodations tax;
• Increasing the ½ inflation adjustment to be equal to inflation;
• Local control of the transportation system;
• Protect use of TIF Districts.
• Present a timeline for major facility construction and funding sources for each project (i.e.
wastewater plant, fire stations, police station, city hall and water plant.) (Winter 2007)
• Establish an economic development strategy, beginning with the development of an Industrial
Park on the Mandeville Farm site (cooperation between City, MSU and Chamber.) (Fall 2007)

City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 10 City of Bozeman, Montana
Staffing Levels and Changes
Growth in our local population and, expansion of facilities and duties continues to strain
the staffing levels of certain departments at the City. During budget preparation, depart-
ments submitted personnel requests for a total of 28.5 new full-time-equivalent (FTE) po-
sitions.
The expansion of the Library facility last fall and the increased ticket loads in Municipal
Court from the MSU agreement in January 2006 have both lead to the need for increased
staff. A Parks & Cemetery Superintendent is needed to manage the increased subdivision
and annexation activities that result in more parkland nearly every week.
The police officer and firefighter are added in response to the staffing analysis that was
recently completed for both divisions. Admittedly, a voted levy will be needed to fully staff
the departments as described in their staffing plans.
The Water and Wastewater employees are being added according to recommendations
made in both of the corresponding Facility Plans.
With the closure and capping of the Landfill, operation of the convenience station, curb-
side recycling, and joint efforts with the Solid Waste District for recycling, 3 staff positions
are no longer needed.
This budget includes funding for 9.25 new FTE’s, and the elimination of 3 FTE’s related to
our landfill/recycling operations. The net result is an increase of 6.25 FTE’s, overall.

Long Term Planning Efforts
The City plans for the long-term needs of our community through a number of efforts and
studies. These documents are usually developed by consultants and staff, with numerous
public hearings and advisory board meetings prior to their formal adoption by the Com-
mission. Once adopted, we work diligently to implement the recommendations and
changes outlined in the plans. Here are the status of our primary long-range planning
documents:
1. 2020 Growth Policy—being updated this year.
2. Bozeman Area Transportation Plan—being updated this year.
3. Police Services Facility & Staffing Plan—presented April 07, adoption pending.
4. Fire Services Master Plan— adopted 2006, implementing.
5. Wastewater & Storm water Facility Plan—adopted 2006, implementing.
6. Water Facility Plan—adopted 2006, implementing.
Over the decades, we have found these types of planning documents to be invaluable to the
orderly growth and maintenance of city facilities. We wholeheartedly intend to continue to
with the development and implementation of these types of long-term plans.
Changes in Priorities this Year
Solid Waste: For a number of months now, the issues of solid waste disposal and recy-
cling have been in the forefront. Our existing landfill cell is reaching capacity and becom-
ing more difficult to efficiently operate as we get closer to the final tonnages that will fill it
up. Work to join the County Solid Waste District has been fruitful, and the public process
to become members is expected to occur this summer.
The operation of a convenience station and household hazardous waste facility, as well as
possible curb-side recycling have been included in this budget. This budget anticipates clo-
sure and capping of the landfill cell beginning on July 1, 2007, and the elimination of 3 po-
sitions related to disposal and recycling efforts. Our regular garbage collection efforts will
continue, adding 2 positions and a modest (3.5%) increase in rates.
911 Emergency Dispatch & Records: In prior years, emergency-services dispatch and
records for the City and County was funded via an inter-local agreement between the City
of Bozeman and Gallatin County. Other jurisdictions using the dispatch system (other
municipal police, fire departments, etc.) had little say in its operations and made various
small funding contributions to the program. In November 2006, county-wide voters
elected to make this service a county service that is funded by a county-wide property tax
levy. In exchange, the City of Bozeman commission agreed to lower city tax mills by an
equal amount, in exchange for the county-wide levy (11 mills).
Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement: This agreements was adopted by the Commis-
sion in November 2006 and calls for the city to undertake various measures for the protec-
tion of our earth and climate. We have recently hired an Intern to report on the city’s cur-
rent practices (i.e. our flex-fuel vehicle fleet, LEEDS building, etc.), examine other best-
practices to consider implementing, and to work with the Commission appointed task-force
on Climate Protection.

City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 12 City of Bozeman, Montana
City Shops Complex: Although it has been an identified priority in Capital Improvement
Documents for a number of years, we have changed our plans for the construction of a new
City Shops Complex. Last year, we budgeted to begin the design work for what was ex-
pected to be the construction of a new $9.0 Million shops facility. In December, the Cardi-
nal Distributing property became available. We engaged architects and staff to analyze
the property and space for suitability. We found that it suited our needs and had the ad-
vantage of be located within the city. The purchase price (including remodeling costs for
locker-room facilities) is approximately $4.2 million, a substantial savings over construc-
tion of a new facility. We expect to purchase the property on July 1, 2007, paid for with
cash from our enterprise and impact fee funds. Remodeling is expected to be completed
and operations will move into the new facility in the Spring of 2008.
Additional Debt
This budget anticipates borrowing for the Downtown Parking Garage. The Tax Increment
Financing District will borrow approx $4.8 million, and we will issue Revenue Anticipation
Notes for the portion of the Federal Award that is not available until federal fiscal years
08 & 09 (the entire award total was $4.034 Million) The effect of these borrowings is dis-
cussed in the Debt Limit projections on page 47, and is well within the City’s statutory re-
quirements.

Residential City Property Taxes for FY06 FY07, and Estimated for FY08
For the past three years in a row, the City’s property tax levy has been moving downward.
The City’s total tax levy was decreased by 3 mills in FY06, as a planned savings of taxing
authority. In FY07, the Fire Equipment levy expired, and a net 4.48 mill decrease was
achieved. In FY08, 11 mills will come off the city’s general tax levy as a result of the 911
Dispatch vote.
The net effect of these changes for FY08 is a estimated 9.85 mill decrease for the year.
Over the past three years (FY06,FY07 & FY08 est.), the city’s property tax levy has de-
creased by a total of 18.42 mills, roughly 11% below FY05 rates.
The median home “assessed market value” represents the value on the tax roll for a home
within the Bozeman city limits. This is the value of the property after the “homestead
exemption” is applied (approx 32%). Median simply means that half of the homes in the
city have a higher value and half have a lower value. In the past two years, the median
value has not change significantly on the tax roll due to the fact that statewide reapprais-
als are only done every six years. Likewise, the median is not expected to change much for
FY08.
City residents living in the median residential home will pay approx $2.80 for each mill
the city levies. In FY08, that is estimated to be a total of $429, or $35.75 per month.
General Taxes Cost per Mill
For FY07, one mill levied on all the property in the City resulted in tax revenue of
$63,249, an 8.9% increase over the previous year. For FY08, we are estimating the value
of one mill to be $67,044—an increase of 6% over FY07. Taxable values for the city have
had an average annual increase of 8.3% for the past 5 years. This number won’t be certain
until the Department of Revenue certifies taxable values to the City in early August.
City-wide Street and Tree Assessments
City property owners pay annual street and tree assessments based on the square footage
of the lot they own. These assessments are the major funding for Street Maintenance and
Forestry Divisions. The approved budget is based on a 5% increase in the Street assess-

ment, resulting in an annual assessment of $77.42 for the average sized lot. The budget
also includes a 4% increase in the Tree assessment, resulting in an annual assessment of
$16.22 for the average sized city lot. Combined, the increase over the previous year is
$4.31 for owners of an averaged sized lot in the city.
Water & Sewer Rates
City property owners are by-and-large required to utilize the city’s water and sewer treat-
ment systems. The adopted facility plans outline large capital projects will need to be
funded in the coming years. Rate studies have been completed for both utilities and rec-
ommend changes to our rate levels and structures in order to fund the utility improve-
ments needed in the next 5 years.
Rate increases for FY08 are proposed according to the draft rate study, which recommends
a 5% increase in wastewater rates and no increase in water rates for the year. The rate
study also recommends changes to the rate classes (residential, commercial, etc.) to better
reflect their actual cost of service. Under the proposed rate and customer-class changes,
the average residential customer would see a reduction in water rates of approx 5% and a
reduction in sewer rates of approx 1.8%; commercial and industrial customers would see
an increase in water & sewer costs.
In Conclusion
Each of the Department Director’s and their administrative teams, have worked hard to
prepare this balanced budget. It represents our best allocation of resources in order to ac-
complish the City’s goals for the coming year. We thank everyone for their hard work and
dedication in its creation.
As you review the enclosed document, please to not hesitate to call any of the department
directors of assistance in understanding this adopted spending plan.

CITY MANAGER’S BUDGET MESSAGE
___________________________________________________________
May 29, 2007
Bozeman City Commission:
I am pleased to present the City Manager’s Recommended Budget for the Fiscal Year 2007
-2008. At its core, this budget is designed to further the City’s vision of “Bozeman, the
most livable place.”
Work Plan
In January, the Commission set the foundation for budget development in the form of an
adopted work plan. The work plan incorporates both “new initiatives” and “ongoing priori-
ties”. While a small number of work plan items have been completed, many remain to be
accomplished in the coming year. Some of these items have large implications for the city
financially.
On-Going Priorities
• Adopt updated impact and utility rate fees. (Summer 2007)
• Review and implement recommendations of the workforce housing task force. (Winter of 2007)
• Implement Charter Provisions. (Fall 2007)
• Join the solid waste district. (March 2007)
• Adopt a specific process and set criteria for reviewing request for the “big box” funds .(March
2007)
• Open bids for the construction of the parking garage. (Winter 2007)
• Complete an analysis of the police department for staffing levels and facilities, specifically deal-
ing with traffic enforcement. (Winter 2007)
• Wallace Street/Library lands redevelopment. (Spring 2007)
New Initiatives
• Educate the public on the necessity for, and passage of, a Public Safety mill levy. (Fall 2007)
• Resolve library debt. (Winter 2007)
• Appoint task force to make recommendations to implement and measure principles outlined in
the Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement – adopted November 27, 2006. (Winter 2007)
• Schedule a working trip to Fort Collins in order to learn what has gone well or failed since Fort
Collins grew from our current size to over twice our size (include staff, Chamber & MSU.)
(Spring 2008)
• Be actively engaged in the 2007 legislative session focused on expanding the ability for local
elected officials and citizens to make decisions regarding: (Winter 2007)
• Local option resort taxes and/or a general sales tax;
• Local option accommodations tax;
• Increasing the ½ inflation adjustment to be equal to inflation;
• Local control of the transportation system;
• Protect use of TIF Districts.
• Present a timeline for major facility construction and funding sources for each project (i.e.
wastewater plant, fire stations, police station, city hall and water plant.) (Winter 2007)
• Establish an economic development strategy, beginning with the development of an Industrial
Park on the Mandeville Farm site (cooperation between City, MSU and Chamber.) (Fall 2007)
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 10 City of Bozeman, Montana
Staffing Levels and Changes
Growth in our local population and, expansion of facilities and duties continues to strain
the staffing levels of certain departments at the City. During budget preparation, depart-
ments submitted personnel requests for a total of 28.5 new full-time-equivalent (FTE) po-
sitions.
The expansion of the Library facility last fall and the increased ticket loads in Municipal
Court from the MSU agreement in January 2006 have both lead to the need for increased
staff. A Parks & Cemetery Superintendent is needed to manage the increased subdivision
and annexation activities that result in more parkland nearly every week.
The police officer and firefighter are added in response to the staffing analysis that was
recently completed for both divisions. Admittedly, a voted levy will be needed to fully staff
the departments as described in their staffing plans.
The Water and Wastewater employees are being added according to recommendations
made in both of the corresponding Facility Plans.
With the closure and capping of the Landfill, operation of the convenience station, curb-
side recycling, and joint efforts with the Solid Waste District for recycling, 3 staff positions
are no longer needed.
This budget includes funding for 9.25 new FTE’s, and the elimination of 3 FTE’s related to
our landfill/recycling operations. The net result is an increase of 6.25 FTE’s, overall.

Long Term Planning Efforts
The City plans for the long-term needs of our community through a number of efforts and
studies. These documents are usually developed by consultants and staff, with numerous
public hearings and advisory board meetings prior to their formal adoption by the Com-
mission. Once adopted, we work diligently to implement the recommendations and
changes outlined in the plans. Here are the status of our primary long-range planning
documents:
1. 2020 Growth Policy—being updated this year.
2. Bozeman Area Transportation Plan—being updated this year.
3. Police Services Facility & Staffing Plan—presented April 07, adoption pending.
4. Fire Services Master Plan— adopted 2006, implementing.
5. Wastewater & Storm water Facility Plan—adopted 2006, implementing.
6. Water Facility Plan—adopted 2006, implementing.
Over the decades, we have found these types of planning documents to be invaluable to the
orderly growth and maintenance of city facilities. We wholeheartedly intend to continue to
with the development and implementation of these types of long-term plans.
Changes in Priorities this Year
Solid Waste: For a number of months now, the issues of solid waste disposal and recy-
cling have been in the forefront. Our existing landfill cell is reaching capacity and becom-
ing more difficult to efficiently operate as we get closer to the final tonnages that will fill it
up. Work to join the County Solid Waste District has been fruitful, and the public process
to become members is expected to occur this summer.
The operation of a convenience station and household hazardous waste facility, as well as
possible curb-side recycling have been included in this budget. This budget anticipates clo-
sure and capping of the landfill cell beginning on July 1, 2007, and the elimination of 3 po-
sitions related to disposal and recycling efforts. Our regular garbage collection efforts will
continue, adding 2 positions and a modest (3.5%) increase in rates.
911 Emergency Dispatch & Records: In prior years, emergency-services dispatch and
records for the City and County was funded via an inter-local agreement between the City
of Bozeman and Gallatin County. Other jurisdictions using the dispatch system (other
municipal police, fire departments, etc.) had little say in its operations and made various
small funding contributions to the program. In November 2006, county-wide voters
elected to make this service a county service that is funded by a county-wide property tax
levy. In exchange, the City of Bozeman commission agreed to lower city tax mills by an
equal amount, in exchange for the county-wide levy (11 mills).
Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement: This agreements was adopted by the Commis-
sion in November 2006 and calls for the city to undertake various measures for the protec-
tion of our earth and climate. We have recently hired an Intern to report on the city’s cur-
rent practices (i.e. our flex-fuel vehicle fleet, LEEDS building, etc.), examine other best-
practices to consider implementing, and to work with the Commission appointed task-force
on Climate Protection.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 12 City of Bozeman, Montana
City Shops Complex: Although it has been an identified priority in Capital Improvement
Documents for a number of years, we have changed our plans for the construction of a new
City Shops Complex. Last year, we budgeted to begin the design work for what was ex-
pected to be the construction of a new $9.0 Million shops facility. In December, the Cardi-
nal Distributing property became available. We engaged architects and staff to analyze
the property and space for suitability. We found that it suited our needs and had the ad-
vantage of be located within the city. The purchase price (including remodeling costs for
locker-room facilities) is approximately $4.2 million, a substantial savings over construc-
tion of a new facility. We expect to purchase the property on July 1, 2007, paid for with
cash from our enterprise and impact fee funds. Remodeling is expected to be completed
and operations will move into the new facility in the Spring of 2008.
Additional Debt
This budget anticipates borrowing for the Downtown Parking Garage. The Tax Increment
Financing District will borrow approx $4.8 million, and we will issue Revenue Anticipation
Notes for the portion of the Federal Award that is not available until federal fiscal years
08 & 09 (the entire award total was $4.034 Million) The effect of these borrowings is dis-
cussed in the Debt Limit projections on page 47, and is well within the City’s statutory re-
quirements.

Residential City Property Taxes for FY06 FY07, and Estimated for FY08
For the past three years in a row, the City’s property tax levy has been moving downward.
The City’s total tax levy was decreased by 3 mills in FY06, as a planned savings of taxing
authority. In FY07, the Fire Equipment levy expired, and a net 4.48 mill decrease was
achieved. In FY08, 11 mills will come off the city’s general tax levy as a result of the 911
Dispatch vote.
The net effect of these changes for FY08 is a estimated 9.85 mill decrease for the year.
Over the past three years (FY06,FY07 & FY08 est.), the city’s property tax levy has de-
creased by a total of 18.42 mills, roughly 11% below FY05 rates.
The median home “assessed market value” represents the value on the tax roll for a home
within the Bozeman city limits. This is the value of the property after the “homestead
exemption” is applied (approx 32%). Median simply means that half of the homes in the
city have a higher value and half have a lower value. In the past two years, the median
value has not change significantly on the tax roll due to the fact that statewide reapprais-
als are only done every six years. Likewise, the median is not expected to change much for
FY08.
City residents living in the median residential home will pay approx $2.80 for each mill
the city levies. In FY08, that is estimated to be a total of $429, or $35.75 per month.
General Taxes Cost per Mill
For FY07, one mill levied on all the property in the City resulted in tax revenue of
$63,249, an 8.9% increase over the previous year. For FY08, we are estimating the value
of one mill to be $67,044—an increase of 6% over FY07. Taxable values for the city have
had an average annual increase of 8.3% for the past 5 years. This number won’t be certain
until the Department of Revenue certifies taxable values to the City in early August.
City-wide Street and Tree Assessments
City property owners pay annual street and tree assessments based on the square footage
of the lot they own. These assessments are the major funding for Street Maintenance and
Forestry Divisions. The approved budget is based on a 5% increase in the Street assess-

ment, resulting in an annual assessment of $77.42 for the average sized lot. The budget
also includes a 4% increase in the Tree assessment, resulting in an annual assessment of
$16.22 for the average sized city lot. Combined, the increase over the previous year is
$4.31 for owners of an averaged sized lot in the city.
Water & Sewer Rates
City property owners are by-and-large required to utilize the city’s water and sewer treat-
ment systems. The adopted facility plans outline large capital projects will need to be
funded in the coming years. Rate studies have been completed for both utilities and rec-
ommend changes to our rate levels and structures in order to fund the utility improve-
ments needed in the next 5 years.
Rate increases for FY08 are proposed according to the draft rate study, which recommends
a 5% increase in wastewater rates and no increase in water rates for the year. The rate
study also recommends changes to the rate classes (residential, commercial, etc.) to better
reflect their actual cost of service. Under the proposed rate and customer-class changes,
the average residential customer would see a reduction in water rates of approx 5% and a
reduction in sewer rates of approx 1.8%; commercial and industrial customers would see
an increase in water & sewer costs.
In Conclusion
Each of the Department Director’s and their administrative teams, have worked hard to
prepare this balanced budget. It represents our best allocation of resources in order to ac-
complish the City’s goals for the coming year. We thank everyone for their hard work and
dedication in its creation.
As you review the enclosed document, please to not hesitate to call any of the department
directors of assistance in understanding this adopted spending plan.

FISCAL POLICIES
___________________________________________________________
The overall goal of the city's fiscal policy is to establish and maintain effective management of the
city's financial resources. Formal policy statements and major objectives provide the foundation
for achieving this goal. Accordingly, this section outlines the policies used in guiding the prepara-
tion and management of the city's overall budget and the major objectives to be accomplished. In
addition, the rationale which led to the establishment of the fiscal policy statements is also identi-
fied.
City of Bozeman FISCAL POLICIES
Budget #1 A comprehensive annual budget will be prepared for all funds expended by the city.
Rationale: State law provides that "no money shall be drawn from the treasury of the mu-
nicipality nor shall any obligation for the expenditure of money be incurred except pursu-
ant to the appropriation made by the commission." Inclusion of all funds in the budget
enables the commission, the administration, and the public to consider all financial as-
pects of city government when preparing, modifying, and monitoring the budget, rather
than deal with the city's finances on a "piece meal" basis.
Budget #2 The budget will be prepared in such a manner as to facilitate its understanding by citizens
and elected officials.
Rationale: One of the stated purposes of the budget is to present a picture of the city
government operations and intentions for the year to the citizens of Bozeman. Presenting
a budget document that is understandable to the citizens furthers the goal of effectively
communicating local government finance issues to both elected officials and the public.
Budget #3 Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing those basic municipal services which provide
the maximum level of services, to the most citizens, in the most cost effective manner,
with due consideration being given to all costs--economic, fiscal, and social.
Rationale: Adherence to this basic philosophy provides the citizens of Bozeman assur-
ance that its government and elected officials are responsive to the basic needs of the
citizens and that its government is operated in an economical and efficient manner.
Budget #4 The budget will provide for adequate maintenance of capital, plant, and equipment and for
their orderly replacement.
Rationale: All governments experience prosperous times as well as periods of economic
decline. In periods of economic decline, proper maintenance and replacement of capital,
plant, and equipment is generally postponed or eliminated as a first means of balancing
the budget. Recognition of the need for adequate maintenance and replacement of capi-
tal, plant, and equipment, regardless of the economic conditions, will assist in maintaining
the government's equipment and infrastructure in good operating condition.
Budget #5 The city will avoid budgetary practices that balance current expenditures at the expense
of meeting future years' expenses.
Rationale: Budgetary practices such as postponing capital expenditures, accruing future
years' revenues, or rolling over short-term debt are budgetary practices which can solve
short-term financial problems, however, they can create much larger financial problems
for future administrations and commissions. Avoidance of these budgetary practices will
assure citizens that current problems are not simply being delayed to a future year.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 23 City of Bozeman, Montana
City of Bozeman FISCAL POLICIES (cont’d)
Budget #6 The city will give highest priority in the use of one-time revenues to the funding of capital
assets or other non-recurring expenditures.
Rationale: Utilizing one-time revenues to fund on-going expenditures results in incurring
annual expenditure obligations which may be unfunded in future years. Using one-time
revenues to fund capital assets or other non-recurring expenditures better enables future
administrations and commissions to cope with the financial problems when these revenue
sources are discontinued, since these types of expenditures can more easily be elimi-
nated.
Budget #7 The city will maintain a budgetary control system to help it adhere to the established
budget.
Rationale: The budget passed by the commission establishes the legal spending limits
for the city. A budgetary control system is essential in order to insure legal compliance
with the city's budget.
Budget #8 The City will exercise budgetary control (maximum spending authority) through City Com-
mission approval of appropriation authority for each appropriated budget unit.
Rationale: Exercising budgetary control for each appropriated budget unit satisfies re-
quirements of state law. It also assists the commission in monitoring current year opera-
tions and acts as an early warning mechanism when departments deviate in any substan-
tive way from the original budget.
Budget #9 Reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts will be pre-
pared monthly.
Rationale: The city's budget is ineffective without a system to regularly monitor actual
spending and revenue collections with those anticipated at the beginning of the year.
Monthly reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budget amounts provide
the mechanism for the Commission and the administration to regularly monitor compli-
ance with the adopted budget.
Revenue #1 The city will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base.
Rationale: A city dependent upon a few volatile revenue sources is frequently forced to
suddenly adjust tax rates or alter expenditure levels to coincide with revenue collections.
Establishment of a diversified and stable revenue base, however, serves to protect the
city from short-term fluctuations in any one major revenue source.
Revenue #2 The city will estimate revenues in a realistic and conservative manner.
Rationale: Aggressive revenue estimates significantly increase the chances of budgetary
shortfalls occurring during the year--resulting in either deficit spending or required spend-
ing reductions. Realistic and conservative revenue estimates, on the other hand, will
serve to minimize the adverse impact of revenue shortfalls and will also reduce the need
for mid-year spending reductions.
Revenue #3 The city will pursue an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
Rationale: An aggressive policy of collecting revenues will help to insure the city's reve-
nue estimates are met, all taxpayers are treated fairly and consistently, and delinquencies
are kept to a minimum.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 24 City of Bozeman, Montana
City of Bozeman FISCAL POLICIES (cont’d)
Revenue #4 The city will aggressively pursue opportunities for Federal or State grant funding.
Rationale: An aggressive policy of pursuing opportunities for Federal or State grant fund-
ing provides citizens assurance that the city is striving to obtain all state and federal funds
to which it is entitled--thereby reducing dependence upon local taxpayers for the support
of local public services.
Revenue #5 User fees and charges will be used, as opposed to general taxes, when distinct benefici-
ary populations or interest groups can be identified.
Rationale: User fees and charges are preferable to general taxes because user charges
can provide clear demand signals which assist in determining what services to offer, their
quantity, and their quality. User charges are also more equitable, since only those who
use the service must pay--thereby eliminating the subsidy provided by nonusers to users,
which is inherent in general tax financing.
Revenue #6 User fees will be collected only if it is cost-effective and administratively feasible to do so.
Rationale: User fees are often times costly to administer. Prior to establishing user fees,
the costs to establish and administer the fees will be considered in order to provide assur-
ance that the city's collection mechanisms are being operated in an efficient manner.
Expenditures #1 On-going expenditures will be limited to levels which can be supported by current reve-
nues.
Rationale: Utilization of reserves to fund on-going expenditures will produce a balanced
budget, however, this practice will eventually cause severe financial problems. Once re-
serve levels are depleted, the city would face elimination of on-going costs in order to bal-
ance the budget. Therefore, the funding of on-going expenditures will be limited to cur-
rent revenues.
Expenditures #2 Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects, which primarily benefit current resi-
dents, will be financed from current revenues.
Rationale: Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects represent relatively small
costs of an on-going nature, and therefore, should be financed with current revenues
rather than utilizing debt financing. This policy also reflects the view that those who bene-
fit from a capital project should pay for the project.
Expenditures #3 Major capital projects, which benefit future as well as current residents, will be financed
with current revenues as well as other financing sources (e.g. debt financing).
Rationale: This policy reflects the view that those who benefit from a capital project
should pay for the project.
Expenditures #4 Major capital projects, which benefit future residents, will be financed with other financing
sources (e.g. debt financing).
Rationale: Major capital projects represent large expenditures of a non-recurring nature
which primarily benefit future residents. Debt financing provides a means of generating
sufficient funds to pay for the costs of major projects. Debt financing also enables the
costs of the project to be supported by those who benefit from the project, since debt ser-
vice payments will be funded through charges to future residents.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 25 City of Bozeman, Montana
City of Bozeman FISCAL POLICIES (cont’d)
Expenditures #5 Construction projects and capital purchases of $10,000 or more will be included in the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); minor capital outlays of less than $10,000 will be in-
cluded in the regular operating budget.
Rationale: The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) differentiates the financing of high cost
long-lived physical improvements from low cost "consumable" equipment items contained
in the operating budget. CIP items may be funded through debt financing or current reve-
nues while operating budget items are annual or routine in nature and should only be fi-
nanced from current revenues.
Debt #1 The City will limit long-term debt to capital improvements which cannot be financed from
current revenues.
Rationale: Incurring long-term debt serves to obligate future taxpayers. Excess reliance
on long-term debt can cause debt levels to reach or exceed the government's ability to
pay. Therefore, conscientious use of long-term debt will provide assurance that future
residents will be able service the debt obligations left by former residents.
Debt #2 The city will repay borrowed funds, used for capital projects, within a period not to exceed
the expected useful life of the project.
Rationale: This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a project
should pay for the project. Adherence to this policy will also help prevent the government
from over-extending itself with regard to the incurrence of future debt.
Debt #3 The city will not use long-term debt for financing current operations.
Rationale: This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a service
should pay for the service. Utilization of long-term debt to support current operations
would result in future residents supporting services provided to current residents.
Debt #4 The City of Bozeman will adhere to a policy of full public disclosure with regard to the is-
suance of debt.
Rationale: Full public disclosure with regard to the issuance of debt provides assurance
that the incurrence of debt, for which the public is responsible, is based upon a genuine
need and is consistent with underwriters guidelines.
Reserves #1 Reserves will be established for funds which are not available for expenditure or are le-
gally segregated for a specific use, in accordance with Governmental Accounting and
Financial Reporting Standards (GAFR).
Rationale: The City's policy is to manage and account for its financial activity in accor-
dance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as set forth by the Gov-
ernmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). This policy is consistent with GASB
requirements.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 26 City of Bozeman, Montana
City of Bozeman FISCAL POLICIES (cont’d)
Reserves #2 One undesignated general fund reserve will be maintained by the city. This undesignated
reserve will be used for: cash flow purposes, accrued employee payroll benefits which are
not shown as a liability, equipment acquisition and replacement, and to enable the city to
meet unexpected expenditure demands or revenue shortfalls.
Rationale: Property taxes represent the city's primary source of general fund revenue.
Property taxes are collected in November and May of each fiscal year. Since the City's
fiscal year begins on July 1st, the city must maintain an adequate cash balance in order to
meet its expenditure obligations between July 1st and the commencement of the collection
of property taxes in November.
Accrued employee payroll benefits represent a bona fide obligation of the city. The city will
maintain sufficient reserves to meet its annual expenditure obligations.
The city recognizes the need to maintain adequate equipment in order to carry out required
public services. Equipment acquisition and replacement represent on-going costs of a rela-
tively minor nature, as compared to major capital purchases. To provide for the orderly
replacement of these assets, funds will be set aside for this purpose through a designation
of fund equity.
The city is subject to revenue shortfalls and unexpected expenditure demands during the
fiscal year. An undesignated general fund reserve will be maintained to be able to offset
these revenue shortfalls or meet unexpected demands occurring during the year, without
suddenly adjusting tax rates or reducing expenditures.
Accounting &
Financial
Reporting #1
The City will manage and account for its financial activity in accordance with Generally Ac-
cepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Stan-
dards Board (GASB).
Rationale: GASB is recognized as the authority with respect to governmental accounting.
Managing the city's finances in accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the rules set
forth by GASB, provides the Bozeman citizens assurance that their public funds are being
accounted for in a proper manner.
Accounting &
Financial
Reporting #2
The city will maintain its accounting records for general governmental operations
on a modified accrual basis, with revenues recorded when available and measur-
able, and expenditures recorded when services or goods are received and liabili-
ties incurred. Accounting records for proprietary fund types and similar trust funds
will be maintained on an accrual basis, with all revenues recorded when earned
and expenses recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, without regard to receipt
or payment of cash.
Rationale: Adherence to this policy will enable the city to prepare its financial statements in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as set forth by the Governmen-
tal Accounting Standards Board.
Accounting &
Financial
Reporting #3
The City of Bozeman will prepare a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) in
conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The report will be
made available to the general public. The CAFR shall be prepared in accordance with the
standards established by the GFOA for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting Program.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 27 City of Bozeman, Montana
City of Bozeman FISCAL POLICIES (cont’d)
Rationale: The Certificate of Achievement represents a significant accomplishment for a
government and its financial management. The program encourages governments to pre-
pare and publish an easily readable and understandable comprehensive annual financial
report covering all funds and financial transactions of the government during the year. The
CAFR provides users with a wide variety of information useful in evaluating the financial
condition of a government. The program also encourages continued improvement in the
city's financial reporting practices.
Accounting &
Financial
Reporting #4
The city will ensure the conduct of timely, effective, and annual audit coverage of all finan-
cial records in compliance the Local, State, and Federal law.
Rationale: Audits of the city's financial records provide the public assurance that its funds
are being expended in accordance with Local, State, and Federal law and in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Audits also provide management and the
Commission with suggestions for improvement in its financial operations from independent
experts in the accounting field.
Accounting &
Financial
Reporting #5
The City of Bozeman will maintain a policy of full and open public disclosure of all financial
activity.
Rationale: Full and open public disclosure of all financial activity provides the public with
assurance that its elected officials and administrators communicate fully all financial mat-
ters affecting the public.
Accounting &
Financial
Reporting #6
The modified accrual basis of accounting and budgeting is used for the Governmental
Funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when sus-
ceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available. Available means collectible within
the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current pe-
riod. Expenditures are recorded when the related liability is incurred. Employee compen-
sated absences and principal and interest on long-term debt expenditures are recorded
when due in the current period. The accrual basis of accounting is used for Proprietary
Funds. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are re-
corded when the related liability is incurred. For Budget preparation and presentation, the
Proprietary Funds’ expenses are converted to expenditures and follow the same budget
format as the Government Fund types. Capital outlays in the Enterprise Funds are pre-
sented as expenses for budget basis, but are recorded as assets along with associated
depreciation expense on the GAAP basis. Debt service principal payments in the Enter-
prise Funds are accounted for as expenses for budget purposes, but are reported as re-
duction of long-term debt liability on the GAAP basis.
Rationale: Recording capital outlays as expenditures and principal payments on long-
term debt for budget purposes, presents a clearer picture of the city’s financial opera-
tions, is easier to administer for cash flow purposes, and is easier for the lay person to
understand.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
___________________________________________________________
To better understand this budget document, a basic understanding of the structure, often-used
terms, and fund types is helpful.
The city’s operating expenditures are organized in to the following hierarchical categories: Ac-
tivities Departments, Divisions, and Budget Units.
Activity: Activity represents the highest level of summarization used in the City’s financial
structure. This level is primarily used for entity-wide financial reporting and for summarization
in this budget document.
Department: Department is the second level of summarization used in the City’s financial
structure. The function classification represents a grouping of related operations and pro-
grams aimed at accomplishing a broad goal or providing a major service.
Division: Department can be further split into divisions which are usually associated with
functioning work groups that have more limited sets of work responsibilities. Their primary
purpose is organizational and budgetary accountability.
Budget Unit: Divisions may be further subdivided into budget units. A budget unit is used to
account for a specific service performed within a division in the pursuit of individual goals and
objectives. A budget unit is aimed at accomplishing a specific service or regulatory program
for which a government is responsible.
For example, to account for the expenses of constructing a new Wastewater Treatment Plant
the city uses the following financial structure:
Activity: Public Service
Department: Wastewater Plant
Division: Operations
Budget Unit: Construction

terms is useful:
A FUND is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and
other financial resources, together with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and
changes therein. Funds are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attain-
ing certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. Funds in
the government model are classified into three broad categories: governmental, proprietary, and
fiduciary.
The most common reason for establishing a fund is to separately account for restricted-use reve-
nue or to comply with state or federal law.
An ACCOUNT is an organizational or budgetary breakdown which is found within city funds.
Each department serves a specific function as a distinct organizational unit of government within
the given fund. Its primary purpose is to facilitate organizational and budgetary accountability.
An OBJECT OF EXPENDITURE refers to specific, detailed expenditure classification. It relates
to a specific type of item purchased or service obtained. Examples of objects of expenditure in-
clude salaries, supplies, contracted service, travel, etc.
The City’s financial operations and fund structure conform with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principals (GAAP). The funds are grouped under governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary fund
types. The City’s fund structure is comprised of the following funds, all of which are budgeted.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
General Fund: The general fund is used to account for all financial resources of the city, except
for those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund supports such basic ser-
vices as the legislative branch, judicial branch, general administration, police, fire, finance, engi-
neering, recreation, library services.
Revenue Sources: The city's general fund is financed primarily by property taxes
which provide nearly half of the general fund revenue. Other revenue sources in-
clude: licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services,
fines and forfeitures, interest on investments, operating transfers, and miscellane-
ous revenues.
Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of spe-
cific revenue sources (other than special assessments, expendable trusts, or for major capital pro-
jects) that are legally restricted to expenditure for specific purposes. Special revenue funds sup-
port insurance costs, retirement costs, planning functions, and other services legally restricted for
specific purposes.
Revenue Sources: Special revenue funds are supported either through property taxes or
through grants or other restricted revenue sources. Examples of special revenue funds supported
by property taxes include retirement and insurance
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 32 City of Bozeman, Montana
funds. Examples of special revenue funds supported by grants or other restricted revenue
sources include Community Development Block Grant, Housing and Urban Devel-
opment, and Gas Tax Apportionment.
Debt Service Funds: Debt service funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources
for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal and interest. Debt Service funds provide
financing for the city's two general obligation bonds--transportation and library facilities.
Revenue Sources: Debt service funds are supported entirely through property
taxes and interest income.
Capital Project Funds: Capital project funds are used to account for financial resources to be
used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by pro-
prietary funds).
Revenue Sources: Capital project funds are supported by special assessments,
long term debt proceeds, donations, and grants.
PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Internal Service Funds: Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods or
services provided by one department to other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis. Inter-
nal service funds account for the city's vehicle maintenance functions.
Revenue Sources: Internal service funds are supported through billings to other
departments based on the sale of goods and the services provided.
Enterprise Funds: Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises--where the intent of the governing
body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the
general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Enterprise funds account for the city's water, waste water, and solid waste services.
Revenue Sources: Enterprise funds are supported through user charges, penal-
ties, and interest income.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES
Trust Funds: Trust funds are used to account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee
capacity. These include (a) expendable trust funds, (b) permanent trust funds, and (c) pension
trust funds.
Revenue Sources: Trust funds are supported by donations and interest income.

THE BUDGET PROCESS
___________________________________________________________
The City of Bozeman budget serves several purposes.
• For the citizens of the City of Bozeman, it presents a picture of the city government
operations and intentions for the year.
• For the City Commission, it serves as a policy tool and as an expression of goals
and objectives.
• For City Management, it is used as an operating guide and a control mechanism.
State statute provides the “Local Government Budget Act” in MCA 7-6-4001. This section of the
law was adopted by the 2001 Legislature to replace the “Municipal Budget Law” and other various
sections of code that related to city finances. The new law: limits the amount of expenditures to
approved appropriations, requires reporting to the State after final budgets and tax levies are
adopted, and provides for a detailed preliminary and final budget adoption within the confines of
the state determined property ax assessment time-table.
The City's budget encompasses both the operating budget and the capital improvement budget.
Each budget unit includes amounts appropriated for both operating expenses and capital items.
The accompanying narrative explanation for each budget unit provides an explanation of capital
items included in the budget.

The city’s accounts are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate
entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing ac-
counts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses.
Governmental funds (the General fund, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects
funds), use the modified accrual basis of budgeting and accounting. Revenues are recognized in
the accounting period in which they become available and measurable. Expenditures are recog-
nized when liabilities are incurred.
Proprietary funds (Enterprise and Internal Service funds) are budgeted on a modified accrual ba-
sis which does not include depreciation or compensated absences. Each fund’s financial state-
ments, which can be found in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), are re-
ported on the full accrual basis. In the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in
the accounting period in which they are earned. Expenses are recognized in the accounting pe-
riod in which they occur.
BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
The City Manager’s Recommended Budget serves as the preliminary budget and is normally
adopted as such in June following six months of development and analysis by staff and the City
Commission.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 36 City of Bozeman, Montana
After submitting the City Manager's Recommended Budget to the City Commission, public work
sessions may be held by the Commissioners at which time the City Manager, Finance Director,
and department staff explain the budget recommendations and underlying justification for the re-
quests. The Commission also reviews departmental requests which could not be funded, as an
indication of un-met needs. During or following the work sessions, the Commissioners may make
adjustments to the proposed budget. Following any adjustments to the City Manager's budget
recommendation, a tentative appropriation ordinance is prepared and a public hearing is held.
The Commission may again make adjustments to the budget following the public hearing, after
which time, the Commission passes the appropriation ordinance in final form.
Appropriations are established by budget unit. The accounting system, budgeting system, and
the budget document itself, however, break these classes into subclasses--thereby providing
more detailed information. As an example, operating supplies, gas and oil, and subscriptions are
all classified as operating expenses. The accounting and budgeting systems provide detail for
these specific sub-classes. However, appropriation control is exercised only at the budget unit
level.
PERFORMANCE BUDGETING
Beginning with the fiscal year 1998-99 budget, the City of Bozeman started the development of a
performance budget. The move to a performance budget resulted in a shift in emphasis away
from describing what will be purchased (inputs) towards describing what will be accomplished
(outputs and outcomes). That process continues today with both an organization-wide and
budget-unit specific focus on outcomes.
PRESENTATION
The text of the budget document contains five sections of information for each Division.
• The first section provides a description of the division.
• The second section describes its major objectives to be accomplished.
• The third section provides a staffing summary and detailed financial information.
• The fourth section identifies the divisions performance measures for the coming
budget year and the past three years.
MCA 7-6-4030 Final budget—resolution—appropriations. (1) The governing body may
amend the preliminary budget after the public hearing and after considering any public comment.
(2) The amended budget constitutes the final budget. The final budget must be balanced
so that appropriations do not exceed the projected beginning balance plus the estimated revenue
of each fund for the fiscal year.
(3) The governing body shall adopt the final budget by resolution. The resolution must:
(a) authorize appropriations to defray the expenses or liabilities for the fiscal year;
and
(b establish legal spending limits at the level of detail in the resolution.
(4) The effective date of the resolution is July 1 of the fiscal year, even if the resolution is
adopted after that date.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 37 City of Bozeman, Montana
The financial information includes expenditure information for the last completed fiscal year,
the appropriated amounts for the current year, and the recommended amounts covered by the
budget. Costs are segregated into six basic classifications: salaries, wages, & benefits; operat-
ing expenses; capital; debt service; and transfers. In addition, more detailed objects of expendi-
ture are also presented, at the option of departments or divisions to highlight certain aspects of
their budgets. For example, the amount expected to be spent for supplies and materials is
shown. However, appropriation control is exercised only at the budget unit level and not at the
individual object of expenditure level.
The narrative information is presented together with the financial detail to assist readers in un-
derstanding the planned outcomes for each division, the purpose of each budget unit, and ma-
jor changes or expenditures for the coming year.
MONITORING AND REPORTING PROCESS
As the budget year proceeds, individual departments and the Finance Department have dual re-
sponsibility for monitoring the status of each budget unit. Department staff has primary responsi-
bility for monitoring the status of expenditures against their budget. This responsibility includes
informing the Finance Department of any significant departures from the plans anticipated in the
budget.
The Finance Department has overall responsibility for monitoring the status of all departments
and funds. This is accomplished primarily through analysis of computerized budget performance
reports which compare appropriation amounts on a line-item basis with actual expenditures
throughout the year. These reports aid department staff in controlling costs and act as an early
warning system for the Finance Department. Department staff may exercise their judgment in
exceeding expenditures by object code, as long as they do not exceed the total amount appropri-
ated for the budget unit.
The Finance Department reviews the budget reports on a monthly basis and discusses any vari-
ances from expected performance with the department staff. The Finance Department conducts
in-depth quarterly budget reviews of all expenditures and revenues.
Significant changes in either expenditures or revenues require a budget revision that must be
adopted by the City Commission. Recommendations are made by the Finance Director for any
corrective actions that are believed necessary.
BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS
State statute provides a number of different ways to amend the budget. The first involves a real-
location of existing appropriations among the line items within a specific fund, The second de-
fines a series of scenarios where the governing body has authority to amend the budget without a
hearing for donations, land sales, and fee based budgets. All other increases in appropriation
authority that are not specifically permitted by statute must be approved through a public hearing
process.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 38 City of Bozeman, Montana
The Finance Director is responsible for insuring compliance with spending limitations imposed by
the budget. Accordingly, the Finance Director submits a Budget Status Report to the City Com-
mission after three, six, nine, and twelve month periods. The budget reviews evaluate overall
revenues and expenditures in comparison to the budgeted amounts. In cases where it appears
the original spending authority authorized will not prove sufficient, transfers of spending authority
or additional spending authority are requested together with explanations for the requests. Public
hearings for budget amendments are held as necessary.

APPROPRIATIONS BY TYPE
___________________________________________________________
All expenditures are classified under on
of five major categories: Salaries,
Wages & Benefits, Operating Expense,
Capital, Debt Service, and Transfers.
The graph below shows the relative per-
centage of budgeted expenditures for
these five major categories.
In governmental agencies, salaries,
wages and benefits normally represent
the largest of these categories.
However, due to the significant invest-
ment in infrastructure, cities have a much higher percentage of the budget devoted to operat-
ing costs than most other governmental agencies. Transportation projects are often included
under contracted services, which is an operating cost.
APPROPRIATIONS BY FUND
___________________________________________________________
As shown, Enterprise Funds
and the General Fund ac-
count for 52% of the total
expenditures of the city. The
General Fund is the city’s
primary operating account
for general government op-
erations. Enterprise funds
consist of water, wastewater,
and solid waste funds; the
utility services we offer citi-
zens. These funds operate
on a self-supporting basis.
Special revenue funds, total-
ing 23% of appropriations,
include a variety of tax supported funds including funds supporting major employer retirement
contributions, health insurance premiums, impact fees and liability insurance. Community de-
velopment block grant monies, the city’s gas tax allocation, and street and tree maintenance
districts are also included.
Debt service, internal service, and trust and agency funds make up the remainder of the city’s
appropriations.

LEGAL DEBT LIMIT & BOND RATING
___________________________________________________________
General Obligation Debt Limit:
The City’s legal debt limit is established by state statute for General Obligation indebtedness.
Total general obligations may not exceed 1.51% of the City’s total market value, as established
each August by the Department of Revenue. (FY07 Total Market Value is $1.959 Billion.)
Our fiscal year 2007 valuation indicated a total debt limit of $29.5 million. As of June 30, 2007,
outstanding net general obligation debt will be equal to $5,335,000. The one general obliga-
tion loan payable, for the professional building, will be paid in full by the end of FY08. This
budget year proposes no new general obligation borrowing.
Recent Law Change:
In the recent Legislative session, SB245 was adopted that changes the statutory debt limit
from 1.51% to 2.5% of Market Value. This becomes effective July 1, 2007. This results in an
estimated Legal Debt Margin of $46.5 Million at the end of FY08.
Bond Rating:
The City’s most recent bond rating was done in connection with the sale of the Library G.O.
bonds, Series #2 in 2003. Moody’s rated that issue an “A2”, in the “mid-range of the upper
medium grade”. This is generally described as “strong, investment grade” credit by Moody’s.
Revenue-backed Debt:
There remains no statutory cumulative limit on the amount of debt a city can issue that is
backed by the revenue streams of various operations, known as “Revenue Bonds”. The city
plans to issue approximately $20 Million in revenue bonds for the construction of a new Waste
Water Treatment plant within the next three years.
Special District Debt:
There remains no statutory limit of the amount of debt a city can issue that is backed by as-
sessments from special improvement districts or special improvement lighting districts known
as “SID or SLID Bonds”. Other Special District Debt is subject to specific limitations, as set
forth in statute. This budget does include the issuance of $4,800,000 in TIF Revenue Bonds
and $1,910,680 in Federal Grant Anticipation Notes for the construction of the Downtown Park-
ing Garage.

REVENUE TRENDS & ANALYSIS
____________________________________________________________
Revenues are estimated for every fund of the city each year. This summary of revenue estimates is sup-
ported by detailed revenue estimates for each fund, as described in the tables beginning on page XX.
This section of the budget highlights major governmental and enterprise funds of the City: the General
Fund, along with Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste enterprises. Trends of these funds and individual
revenues are shown together with estimates for the coming year. Together, these funds comprise 75%
of the total estimated revenues of the City.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the city, except for those required to
be accounted for in another fund. Major functions supported by general fund revenues include: city ad-
ministration, police and fire services, court, parks, recreation, and library. Revenue is estimated to be
$19.2 Million for the budget year.
The growth in general fund revenues, depicted in the graph above, reflects the following trends:
• The rapid growth in new construction and annexations over the last several years, which
increases property taxes collected; growth in taxable value has been estimated at 6.0% for
the current fiscal year, and will be based on the certified taxable value received in August
from the Department of Revenue.
• Increased court revenues, enhanced by an inter-local agreement to provide court services
for MSU police violations.
• Voted tax levy increases for Fire Equipment and Library Construction. Fire equipment levy
expired in FY06.
• Voted county-wide 911 levy and commitment to reduce city mills by an equivalent amount.
• Increased State Entitlement Share revenues.
CONSTRUCTION FUNDS
The City’s construction funds account for the separate revenues required to fund various construction
projects. In FY07, the construction of the New Library substantially increased the amount of revenue the
city receives for construction projects. This fiscal year, the Parking Garage will have the same effect,
boosting construction fund revenues by approximately $9,000,000.

WATER FUND
Shown on the graph below are total water fund revenues, estimated at $6.2 Million for the budget year.
As depicted by the graph, water fund revenues have steadily increased as the result of both an increase
in the customer base and as the result of regular rate changes. Customer-base growth has been esti-
mate at 5% for the budget year, based on the trend of the past three years and the continued increase in
building permits that the city has issued. A 10% rate increase was adopted for FY06, and another 10%
rate increase in FY07 were planned to accumulated dollars for new plant construction, witch will be nec-
essary in an estimated 5-8 years. The City’s recent rate study showed a net zero increase in required
rates for FY08.
Review of actual water usage indicates a rather effective water conservation effort in the community.
Population growth over the period from 2000 through 2004 averaged 3.5% annually for the community—
but water usage grew by an average of only 2.5% annually, as sited in the City’s Water Facility Plan by
Allied/Peccia. We expect this conservation trend to continue in the budget year, with the possible adop-
tion of inclined-block rates. Rate increases for the past 20 years are shown on page XXX.
WASTEWATER FUND
Revenues in the Wastewater Fund have, in general, been increasing over the past 10 years, and are
estimated at $4.6 Million for the budget year. This is due to increases in the customer base and in-
creases attributable to the rate changes that were necessary in order to restore the financial position of
the wastewater fund caused by the solvent site pollution remediation. For fiscal year 2005, the sur-
charge for the solvent site was eliminated, which effectively lowered rates.

Wastewater Fund Operating Revenues
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 51 City of Bozeman, Montana
We estimate our customer-base (new accounts) to grow by 5% in the budget year and have based our
estimate on recent historical information for the fund and the fact that our building permit department
continues to see strong applications for new permits within the city.
In response to the impending construction of a new plant facility, a 15% rate increase was adopted for
FY06 and another 10% increase in wastewater rates in FY07. These rate increases are being dedi-
cated to the construction of the new Wastewater Plant. The City’s recent rate study shows 5% net rate
increase for customers in FY08, with some restructuring of rate classes. Wastewater rate increases for
the past 20 years are shown in the schedule on page XXX.
SOLID WASTE FUND
During fiscal year 2006, the Commission discussed how the City would continue solid waste disposal
services as our Landfill was nearing its capacity.
In a measure to reserve the remaining cell space for residential use only, the Commission closed the
landfill to tipping by commercial customers and non-city residents and to any construction and demoli-
tion waste. In addition, hours of operation were to be cut in order to “break-even” with the new limited
revenue/trash stream. This significantly decreased revenue coming into the Solid Waste Fund, and
reversed our six-year increasing revenue trend.
City Collection customers saw an 18% rate increase to cover the hauling costs and tipping fees at the
County Landfill, more than 20 miles away.
For fiscal year 2008, we have estimated Solid Waste Revenues with no remaining capacity and the
landfill being capped and closed. We will continue to provide curb-side garbage collection services.
The city will operate a convenience station and household hazardous waste facility for up to 12 months
of the fiscal year, at which time it will be taken over by the Solid Waste District. In addition, a new curb-
side recycling plan is being planned that would be funded by a monthly user fee.
Solid waste fund revenues, including curbside recycling fees and convenience station revenues for the
year, are estimated at $2,445,430.

EXPENDITURE TRENDS & ANALYSIS
___________________________________________________________________________
This section provides a historical trend analysis of the expenditures of the major funds of the city. In-
creases and decreases in a funds’ expenditure levels is a natural occurrence. The most important point
is to understand what factors are causing a funds’ expenditure levels to change. General fund expendi-
tures will usually be more stable, due to the fact that most costs are personnel that are predictable and
steady. In enterprise funds and construction funds, large fluctuations will occur due to the fact that these
funds are infrastructure intense and large expenditures are sporadic, depending on the projects in-
volved.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the city, except for those required to
be accounted for in another fund. Major functions supported by general fund revenues include: city ad-
ministration, police and fire services, court, parks, recreation, and library. Expenditures total $19.2M for
this fiscal year.
The increase in expenditure levels of the general fund can be tied to the growth trend of our community.
With this increase in property and population, there is a need for additional general fund services. We
have increased expenditures on police and fire services. Expenditures on Library Services increased
significantly in 2007 due to the operations of the new Library facility, and the debt service payment nec-
essary for the project. For FY08 we are decreasing expenditures on 911 Dispatch services by over
$700,000, due to the assumption of this program by the county.
WATER FUND
As the chart below depicts, the trend in the Water Fund shows the result of sporadic large improvement
projects being undertaken in FY2004 through FY2008. In 2004, we began design and construction on

the Hyalite Transmission Main, which greatly improved service for the City’s water supply from Hyalite
reservoir. That project was completed in FY2006. FY2008 expenditures total roughly $4.9 Million, and
anticipates spending on the preliminary design and testing necessary for a new Water Treatment Facil-
ity, according to our long-rang Water Facility Plan. We expect to see substantial investment in the city’s
water supply and delivery being made by the Water Fund over the next 5-7 years.
WASTEWATER FUND
The Wastewater Fund has also spent substantial dollars on capital improvements over the past 5 years.
The City received a multi-million dollar EPA Grant award that required matching dollars from our rate-
payers. This grant funded some major improvements to our Wastewater Treatment Plant and Collection
System, and was fully utilized by the end of the FY2005 year.
As a result of our most recent Wastewater Facility Study, the city plans to immediately embark on the
design and construction of a new BNR Wastewater Treatment Plant. In FY2007, approximately $4 mil-
lion was budgeted to be spent for that project. In the coming 3-4 years, we expect to spend a total of
over $33 million on the new plant. FY2008 expenditures total $4.4 Million.
SOLID WASTE
Expenditures in the Solid Waste Fund have increased significantly in the recent years due to the City’s
investment in the Mandeville Farm property, Transfer Station design, and the Old Library Property.
Costs also increased in FY2006 when the City decided to direct-haul collection trash to the County
Landfill. The FY2008 budget includes the cap and closure costs on the City’s existing landfill cell, the
operation of a convenience station/household hazardous waste facility, and curbside recycling, in addi-
tion to our regular garbage collection routes. Expenditures are estimated to total $3.1 Million.

FUND BALANCES / WORKING CAPITAL TRENDS & ANALYSIS
——————————————————————————————————————————
There are two fund types that are used to account for the city’s operating funds. One is governmental
fund types and the other is proprietary fund types. The best measure of a governmental fund types’ fi-
nancial condition is fund balance (assets minus liabilities). The best measure of a propriety fund types’
financial condition is working capital (current assets minus current liabilities).
This section provides a historical trend analysis of the fund balance and working capital balances of the
major funds of the city. Increases and decreases in a funds’ financial position is a natural occurrence.
The most important point is to understand what factors are causing a funds’ financial position to change.
General fund balances will generally be more stable, due to the fact that most costs are personnel that
are predictable and steady. In enterprise funds, large fluctuations will occur due to the fact that these
funds are infrastructure intense and large expenditures are sporadic.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the city, except for those required to
be accounted for in another fund. Major functions supported by general fund revenues include: city ad-
ministration, police and fire services, court, parks, recreation, and library.
The graph below shows that the city has been able to maintain its general fund balance at relatively sta-
ble levels in past years. Declines in the fund balance during FY 95 and FY 96 were planned reductions.
Increases in fund balance in FY98, 02, and 05 occurred as the result of unexpected revenues. The rela-
tively sharp decline in FY 03 resulted from the use of $1.3 million in reserves to purchase the Story Man-
sion. The decline in FY07 is attributed to the City’s share of the purchase of the Lamme Library property
for $1 Million. This FY08 budget has an ending Unreserved General Fund Balance of $2.8 million.
The graph on the next page shows the unreserved general fund balance in relation to the annual reve-
nue of the fund. The decline in fiscal years 2000 & 2001 were due to the inclusion of expenditures for
employee benefits (health insurance and employee retirement funds) in the general fund. These were
previously expended out of special revenue funds. The decline in FY 03 was the result of the acquisition
of the Story Mansion. Again, the decline in FY07 is attributed to the purchase of the Old Library prop-
erty. We anticipate that FY08 will end with the Unreserved General Fund Balance at approx 15.85% of

operating revenues (specifically, excluding the state’s contribution for retirement of $1,400,000.)
WATER FUND
The graph below depicts the working capital balance of the city’s water fund. This graph typifies the sig-
nificant fluctuations that result from large infrastructure expenditures. The significant reduction in FY 02
and FY 03 relates to the completion of some large capital improvement projects primarily funded with
cash balances. The most significant of which was the Lyman Creek water supply and the Hyalite Trans-
mission Main project. FY07’s reduction in working capital is the result of the planned purchase of the
Cardinal Distributing Property for a Shops Complex location.
WASTEWATER FUND
As seen by the graph of the wastewater fund on the next page, the fund’s working capital balance has
been steadily growing over the past 10 years. The large increase in FY 00 results from both the settle-
ment with Jewel Foods and the effect of the surcharge. The large balance continues into FY 01 to pro-
vide needed matching funds for a $5 million federal grant. The reduction in FY 03 reflects expenditures
associated with the federal grant. Like the Water Fund, FY07’s reduction in working capital is the result
of the planned purchase of the Cardinal Distributing Property for a Shops Complex location. The FY08
reduction is for the design costs of the new Wastewater Treatment Facility, which will be constructed
within the next 3-5 years.

SOLID WASTE FUND
The graph of the solid waste fund working capital shows a very low balance in fiscal year 99, 00, and 01.
This resulted from the installation costs of a liner for the existing landfill, for a cost of approximately $2
million. The steady increases in FY 02 through FY 05 resulted from the large increase in gate fee
revenues. This balance was accumulated to plan for the eventual closure of the Landfill and to provide
for an alternative for solid waste disposal. In FY07, $1.5M was utilized to purchase the Lamme Library
Property. The FY08 budget anticipates closing and capping the Landfill, operating a convenience sta-
tion, and beginning a curbside recycling program, in addition to the current garbage collection services.
The new recycling program will require investments in a new recycling truck and bins for customers.

tation plan and comprehensive “growth policy” for the City of Bozeman, in accordance with Part 6, Chap-
ter 1, Title 76 MCA); providing assistance and coordination to other departments with the preparation of
Capital Improvements Plans; providing assistance to other boards and departments with the prepara-
tion of strategic plans for land-use related programs, such as parks and open space planning; and de-
veloping implementation strategies to achieve community planning goals and objectives. DPCD also

ment, fire department and the 9-1-1 center. Enthusiastically participate in joint training and operations with mu-
tual aid departments. Improve project review record keeping process and emergency response record keeping

ments within existing commercial structures and in damaged commercial and residential structures. Meet all
contractual and performance requirements for regional hazardous materials response teams.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
STREET MAINTENANCE FUND:
The street maintenance district division accounts for the expenditure of special assess-
ments on property in the city for the repair and upkeep of the city's streets.
Section 7-12-4401 MCA authorizes the city to create street maintenance districts for
the purpose of maintaining its streets, alleys, and other public places.
The maintenance districts were first created during fiscal year 1990-91. Each year, as-
sessments are levied on each piece of property within the city limits. The assessments
are placed on the property owners' SID notices each year. The collections in Novem-
ber and May provide the revenues for the street maintenance district program. Any
unexpended balance will be available for reappropriation next fiscal year.
The assessment for the costs and expenses incurred in maintaining streets, alleys, and
other public places within the maintenance district is assessed against each lot or par-
cel within the district for that part of the cost which its assessable area bears to the as-
sessable area of the entire district, exclusive of streets, avenues, alleys, and public
places.
GAS TAX FUND:
The gas tax division accounts for the expenditure of the city's share of state collected
gas tax funds allocated to the city by the Montana Department of Transportation.
Section 15-70-101 MCA provides that the Montana Department of Transportation shall
allocate gas tax revenues to cities, towns, and counties. One-half of the city's alloca-
tion is based on population and one-half is based on street and alley mileage.
The funds may be used only for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and repair
of streets and alleys. The funds may not be used for equipment purchases.
The goal of the street maintenance division is to help provide for a network of safe
roadways for the traveling public. To provide access to desired destinations such as
emergency services, schools, employment, shopping, community services, or other
facilities in a quick, convenient, safe and comfortable manner for all population groups
in the community with a minimum of harmful effects on the environment.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The water plant budget unit accounts for the costs associated with maintaining a quality drink-
ing water supply for the City of Bozeman. The City of Bozeman has two treatment plants: The
15 MGD Sourdough Plant and the 1 MGD Lyman Creek Plant.
The Sourdough WTP was completed in 1983 and had a rated capacity of ten million gallons
per day. The water plant was expanded during FY 93 to add an additional five million gallons
per day for a total capacity of 15 million gallons per day.
Major operating expenses of the water plants include staffing, maintenance, chemicals and
utilities. The plants are operated 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. There are 5 operators,
2 lead workers, 1 foreman and a superintendent as of FY-01. The WTP operators are also re-
sponsible for all monitoring of the drinking water in the distribution system according to the
Safe Drinking Water Act. This job requires one operator a minimum of 5 hours per day, 7 days
per week. More than 10,000 water quality test are run annually. A significant increase in sam-
ple collecting is anticipated due to the requirements of the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface
Water Treatment Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants Byproducts Rule. A corrosion control
building and system to halt lead and copper corrosion in the distribution system was completed
in 1998. A new sludge drying bed to replace older inadequate beds was completed in 1998.
The new Hyalite raw water intake, pipeline, and connection building is anticipated to be com-
pleted by July of 2006.
The Lyman Creek WTP completed a 2.6 million dollar upgrade in 2003-04, which includes a
roof and a liner for the 5 million gallon reservoir, a new building for operation, chlorine and fluo-
ride addition, radon removal, and an effluent water quality monitoring building. The system was
put on-line June 1st of 2004.
The Water Plant includes:
A. Lyman Creek
1. Water plant
2. 5 million gallon reservoir
3. Watershed

WASTEWATER OPERATIONS
___________________________________________________________
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The wastewater operations budget unit accounts for the costs associated with provid-
ing and maintaining a wastewater collection system for the city.
The wastewater operations division maintains a program of inspecting, cleaning, root
cutting repairing mains, manholes, and installing new wastewater stubs.
The wastewater operations division along with the engineering department operates a
sewage pretreatment program. The program is designed to reduce the level of pollut-
ants discharged by industry and other non-domestic wastewater sources into the City
of Bozeman municipal sewer system, and thereby, reduce the amount of pollutants re-
leased into the environment through wastewater. The objectives of the program are to
protect the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) from pollutants that may inter-
fere with plant operation, to prevent pollutants that may pass through untreated from
being introduced into the POTW, and to improve opportunities for the POTW to reuse
wastewater and sludges that are generated.
The television inspection division maintains a program of inspecting all new sanitary
sewer infrastructure to be accepted by the City of Bozeman. This division inspects ex-
isting infrastructure to determine deficiencies and recommend repairs and prioritize
capital improvements. This enables us to minimize emergency callouts and customer
service problems.
City Manager’s Recommended Budget FY08 161 City of Bozeman, Montana

WASTEWATER PLANT
___________________________________________________________
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The wastewater plant budget accounts for the costs associated with the treatment of
the City’s domestic, commercial, and industrial wastewater. The Bozeman Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) is an award-winning facility that serves to protect and en-
hance the water quality of the East Gallatin River.
The purpose of the wastewater treatment facility is to ensure continued environmental
compliance by discharging thoroughly treated effluent that meets or exceeds all State
and Federal environmental standards. Through its beneficial reuse program, the
Bozeman WWTP also maintains compliance with EPA Part 503 Biosolids regulations.
All plant biosolids are thoroughly digested, and then land applied as a beneficial fertil-
izer.
As identified in the City’s recently completed Wastewater Facilities Plan, the Bozeman
WWTP is scheduled to undergo a significant expansion and technology upgrade over
the next 3 years to keep pace with the growing demand for wastewater services in our
community. Whenever possible, these plant improvements will be funded, in part, by
grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The City currently has no out-
standing indebtedness related to the wastewater treatment plant.
MAJOR OBJECTIVES
• To protect and improve the water quality of the East Gallatin River.
• To consistently achieve full compliance with all aspects of the City’s National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit administered by the
State of Montana.
• To maintain the mechanical reliability of the wastewater treatment facility to en-
sure uninterrupted operations.
• To optimize the operational reliability of the wastewater treatment facility.
• To comply with all EPA 503 bio-solids land application requirements and regula-
tions.
• To minimize unpleasant odors.

FY08 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
• Purchase two new semi trucks (tractors) for hauling biosolids $200,000
• Upgrade the existing floating dredge with a new cutter-head,
75 Hp motor, and discharge piping. $60,000
FY 08 ANTICIPATED ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The largest capital expense for FY08 will be the engineering costs incurred to design the City’s new Bio-
logical Nutrient Removal (BNR) facility. This design will include the preparation of plans and specifica-
tions for a new plant headworks, vortex grit removal, new primary effluent pumping station, BNR reactor
basins, RAS/WAS pumping station, new blower building, effluent lift pumps, anaerobic digestion,
standby emergency power, and UV disinfection.
In FY07 we were scheduled to repair the roofs on at least three existing plant structures including the
RAS building, the Lift 2 building, and the DAF building. If this work is not fully completed by the end of
FY07, we will carry-over funding and complete this work in FY08.
The City’s new MPDES permit contains a compliance schedule that requires the City to prepare a de-
tailed study to assess the impact of the existing Infiltration/ Percolation Beds (I/P Beds) on area ground-
water and establish a re-activation plan for their continued use. This study will be initiated in FY07 and
completed in FY08.
The City’s two semi trucks (tractors) which are used to haul biosolids to our land application sites are
now both 24 years old. These trucks are no longer reliable, road-worthy vehicles. They are therefore
scheduled for replacement in FY08.
In order to increase the efficiency of biosolids transfer and truck loading from the plant’s sludge storage
lagoons, this year’s budget calls for upgrading the existing floating dredge with a significantly larger cut-
ter-head and 75 Hp motor. This will be undertaken in FY08.
During the first quarter of FY08 the staff will be actively engaged in the retrofit and start-up of our re-
configured aeration basins. Our top priority will be to achieve compliance with the City’s new interim
nutrient limitations that will go into effect June 1, 2007. This will likely result in increased chemical and
power costs for FY08 as we undertake the transition from conventional activated sludge to interim BNR
technology.

SOLID WASTE COLLECTION
___________________________________________________________
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The solid waste collection budget unit accounts for the costs of collecting solid waste
within the city. The solid waste collection division operates three automated trucks for
residential refuse collection, two rear-load trucks for collecting refuse from commercial
customers and one roll-off truck. The rear-load trucks are being replace with the more
efficient front-load trucks.
One local solid waste disposal firm serves the area outside the city limits, businesses
operating within the city, and residential area not on city routes.
Solid waste collection service is also available to residential and commercial customers
within the city limits.
The goal of the solid waste collection division is to provide for a safe, clean, and effi-
cient method of solid waste collection. Alternatives to solid waste collection are re-
viewed on a yearly basis with emphasis being placed on increased recycling and com-
posting.
Please note that the City of Bozeman offers a “Pay-As-You-Throw” garbage collection
system, which establishes a direct relationship between the amount a customer pays
for solid waste collection and disposal and the amount thrown away. In other words,
the more a person throws away, the more they pay. This system provides an incentive
for customers to reduce and recycle more of their wastes.
MAJOR OBJECTIVES
• To collect all city customers’ solid waste set out for collection, on a weekly basis.
• To help minimize the amount of solid waste going to the landfill for disposal.
• To promote the automated garbage collection service, which allows a customer to choose a variable size tote, thereby awarding customers who reduce, reuse, and recycle.

SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
___________________________________________________________
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Disposal division was responsible for the landfilling operations a the City’s Story Mill Land-
fill site. In the coming year, the division will change dramatically as we close the landfill and
cease operations.
For a maximum of 12 months, ending June 30, 2008, the division will operate the convenience
station/household hazardous waste collection site, including compost and recyclables collec-
tion. The County Solid Waste District is then expected to take over that facility as part of dis-
trict operations, once the City formally joins the district.
MAJOR OBJECTIVES
• To dispose of all refuse in a clean and environmentally safe manner.
• To safely and effectively close and cap the existing landfill cells.
• To join the Gallatin County Solid Waste District.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Recreation Administration
The City of Bozeman Recreation Department provides recreation opportunities for the entire community.
In addition, the Department assists the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board and other recreation
groups in anticipating recreation demands and providing services that the City cannot do on their own.
The department provides additional opportunities for the citizens through its operation of the Beall Park
Recreation Center and Lindley Center.
Recreation Programs
The Recreation Department offers summer programs, which teach children lifelong skills as well as
healthy living habits. The Department offers preschool age programs year-round, programs for elemen-
tary age children when they are out of school, T-Ball, Letters/Phone calls from Santa, Snowfest, the
Easter Egg Hunt and backpacking opportunities. The Department also has activities for seniors.
Swim Center
The Swim Center is the City’s 50 meter indoor aquatic facility. Safety, fitness, and recreational pro-
grams are offered year round at affordable rates. The Swim Lesson Program ensures the health and
well-being of individual city residents and larger school groups by providing swim technique training and
instruction in basic water safety. The program also contributes to life-long fitness and health by intro-
ducing patrons to the many opportunities available. The Fitness program provides encouragement and
opportunity to individuals of all ages in programs such as water aerobics, water jogging, and lap swim-
ming. The Aquatics Recreation program helps fight childhood obesity by encouraging families to ac-
tively recreate together and by offering diversions such as a hot tub, water slide, diving board, pool toys,
inflatable obstacle courses, dive-in movies, inner-tubes and Family Night Specials. The Professional
Water Safety program trains local and area lifeguards, swim instructors, and professional rescuers, thus
promoting and sharing the basics of water safety with the entire community. The Swim Center serves
as a rental facility for user groups such as the State Champion High School Swim Team, the Bozeman
Barracudas age-group Swim Team, the Bozeman Stingrays Synchronized Swim Team, the Bozeman
Masters Swim Team, SCUBA, kayak groups, scouts, and military groups.
Bogert Pool
Bogert Pool was built in 1939, and after 67 years is still a family tradition. This great facility is staffed
with professional and fun lifeguards who provide a wide variety of aquatic activities. Bogert Pool fea-
tures a 26' triple-tube water slide that offers three levels of excitement. This slide is located on the south
sunning and observation deck. The pool also features a slide for elementary age children and
"Delaware the duck" slide for preschool age children. Bogert Pool offers one of the best learn-to-swim
programs for youth ages 3 months to 15 years in the country. We guarantee children age 7 and up will
be able to swim 5 yards on their front and back after the first set of lessons or lessons are free until they
can do so. The pool offers lap swimming, swim team workouts, water aerobics, and recreation swim-
ming for all ages. Special Events such as the Goldfish swim, Family Pizza Nights, Moonlight and Mid-
night Swims, and the Dog Swim make Bogert a desired and affordable venue for family recreation.

These self assessments were supplemented by an inventory of all city owned facilities pursu-
ant to an Adaptive Environments Center and Barrier Free Environments checklist, which strictly
follows Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines. Remedial actions range from
simply relocating activities to reconstructing certain facilities to assure compliance. The prob-
lems are being approached on a priority basis as follows:
PRIORITY 1: PROVISION OF AN ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE
PRIORITY 2: PROVISION OF ACCESS TO GOODS AND SERVICES
PRIORITY 3: USABILITY OF REST ROOMS
PRIORITY 4: ADDITIONAL ACCESS PROVISION
Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund:
The Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund division accounts for the costs of admini-
stration and use of program income received from the pay back of various Economic Develop-
ment Community Block Grant awards.
Housing Revolving Loan Fund:
The revolving loan fund budget unit accounts for the costs of administration and use of pro-
gram income received from the 1984 Community Development Block Grant Program.

This program element includes administrative oversight of CDBG contracts; preparation of ap-
plications for TEA-21 funding, and administration of TEA-21 contracts; coordination of inter-
neighborhood council activities; and administration of other grant programs and special activi-
ties as outlined in the Community Development section of this document (found under Public

GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS
APPROPRIATION Legal authorization granted by City Commission to make expendi-
tures and incur obligations.

eral obligation, revenue, and special assessment district bonds.

projects such as buildings, streets, and water and waste water
lines.

expenditures for a given period and the proposed means of financ-
ing them. Upon approval by Commission, the appropriation ordi-
nance is the legal basis for incurring expenditures.
