DOWNTOWN BOZEMAN B.I.D. WORK PLAN
2007-2008
BID Mission Statement The BID is an organization of downtown property owners who through thoughtful, pro-active collaboration
and partnership with local government, business owners, residents and citizens strive to create a shared vision and
voice for the community of downtown Bozeman. The BID will commit resources, identify, plan and act on short-
term and long-term initiatives otherwise unavailable to individual owners. The BID has a goal of ensuring the long-
term preservation and vitality of the city’s underlying economic, cultural, social and environmental assets and the
BID will work together to keep our downtown a safe, beautiful and vibrant place.
BID Continuing Programs funded by attached Assessment Budge (attached)
Summer Flowers--The BID purchases, installs and maintains 140 hanging baskets of
petunias. These flower baskets are hung throughout downtown from June until
September on the historic lamp posts.
Holiday Lighting--The BID installs the following holiday lighting downtown: 1) lighted
garland on each historic lamp post; 2) lights on the large conifer trees in Soroptimist Park;
and 3) the infamous holiday “spider” decoration above the downtown intersections.
Maintenance Employee--In the past the BID has employed a part-time maintenance
person. This year the BID plans to upgrade the maintenance position to full-time and
year round. Primary tasks include garbage collection, tree watering, Soroptomist Park
upkeep, maintenance of pedestrian benches, graffiti removal, and snow removal.
Downtown Banners--The BID administers the graphic banners throughout the
downtown district. In addition to the downtown lamp post banners, the BID facilitates the
hanging of lamp post banners for numerous non-profit organizations and event. The BID
also rents the over-street banners as advertisements for local events.
BID New Initiatives
These projects will be funded from BID STIP Account. Each program will be formally presented
to the BID board for final approval.
Graffiti Removal Pilot--The BID will launch an aggressive graffiti removal program this
fiscal year. This program will involve an initial large-scale clean-up effort to remove the
extensive graffiti currently afflicting downtown. Then a system will be established to
remove new tags as quickly as possible as immediate removal is proven to be the most
effective deterrent.
Security Patrol Pilot--The BID is researching the feasibility of establishing night-time
security patrols throughout the downtown area to help deter vandalism.
I-90 Sign Request --The BID is pursuing the placement of a series of highway signs
identifying the Historic Main Street district as an officially recognized part of the Registry
of National Historic Places.
