WHEREAS, on the
15th da~T of August, 1941 The City of Bozeman duly passed and approved
Resolu tion No. 504,
a resolution consti tu ting an agreement wi th the United States relative
to furnish~ng land for the proposed airport and providing for
the operation and maintenance I
of the same when completed, whereby the Civil Aeronautics Adm:tnistration offered to develop
an airport in Gallatin County, provided The C1 ty of Bozeman w0l11d
contrac t to furnish the
land, construct the Administration b\Jildin~,
hangars 8nd other necessary structures and
to arrf.1TIge for proper maintenance and operation of
the airport from and after its comple-
tion by the Civil Aeronautics Administration. In accordance
with this a~reement The City
of Bozeman has thu.s
far expended ovor $15,000.00 in capital outlay for the purchase of
land and other items connected with tl1is pro.iect,
but no administration buildin~ or hangars
have so far been provided as
such structures wOll1d probably h8ve to be financed by means
of a *rlOO,OOO.OO general bond ieaned, and
WHEREAS, it is
estimated that in addtion to the capital outlay, mentioned in the
foregoing paragraph, it will be necessary to raise approximately ;$7,500.00 per
year to
cover the cost of maintaining and operating the airport and as no revenue can be expected
from the rental of hangars or other facilities during
the coming year, this amount must
be raised by taxation. Montana law provides
that cities shall not levy more than one mill
for airport maintenance. This l:tmi ts
the amount that can be raised for this
purpose by
The City of Bozeman to approximately $3,000.00 per year;
consequently an amount sufficient I
to COV0r the operation and maintenance cost abovo mentioned can only be raIsed by ,1oint
action on the part of The City of Bozeman and the C01mty
of Gallation; now, therefore,
