Commissioner- I-Ho Pomeroy: Motion Deputy Manor- Carson Taylor: 2nd 06:44:56 PM Friendly amendment to drop the word "Criminal'from the motion and also the word "Criminal'where is appears between the words "other"and `justice"in both the bond language and the mill levy language. Cr. Mehl posed a friendly amendment. Cr. Pomeroy and Deputy Mayor Taylor agreed to the amendment. 06:45:28 PM Commission Discussion on the Motion Deputy Mayor Taylor wondered if the Commission should change the suitable location language. The time has come for the City to create a new facility as the current Police Department is crowded. We have been talking about this for a long time. It makes sense to move the municipal court system as well. By adding the mill levy the way we have makes sense because it shows how we are going to pay for the building of it and maintenance. 06:48:52 PM Friendly amendment that any of the mills if approved by the public be segregated into a separate fund as discussed. (A sentence will be added to the resolution to clarify the intent within Section 1.06 Mill levy) Cr. Mehl posed a friendly amendment. Cr.

Commissioner- Chris Mehl: Motion Deputy Mayor-Carson Taylor: 2nd Page 4 of 15 Bozeman City Commission Minutes,July 28, 2014 06:51:26 PM Commission Discussion on the Motion Cr. Mehl spoke regarding the need for full transparency. We are putting all of our cards on the table for the public. Deputy Mayor Taylor stated that we are trying to give people the worst scenario cost wise, showing that this is the most that will be paid. It is an important message to give to people so they know where they are at however emphasizing that costs may go down depending on growth. The simpler it is the better it is. Mayor Krauss feels that it grossly over estimates the cost over the bond. We are painting the diarist circumstance. To say that over the next 20 years you will pay x, wilI not be true. We are erroring on too conservative and too optimistic. He feels it is not our best knowledge to define. To the best of our knowledge we have a trend, concerns of flat lining. The current value is not going to be what it is in 20 years. Cr. Pomeroy stated that transparency is better. Keep it simpler. 07:24:13 PM Clarircation of Amendment to the Main Motion that with Staffs help we would add language at the end of the bond ballot language that would be similar to what is at the end of the Mill levy stating "if this bond is passed it is estimated that the initial cost for a median Bozeman household($275,000) tax will increase by$72 per year (or whatever).Lf the City of Bozeman's tax base increases, the costs will go decrease. 07:25:26 PM City Attorney recommendation Mr Sullivan stated that it is very important to have precise language. 07:26:01 PM Break Mayor Krauss declared a break in order for staff to re-work the language and come back later in the meeting to address. 07:36:17 PM Meeting called back to order Mayor Krauss called the meeting back to order. 1. 06:04:50 PM Resolution 4545, Submitting to the Electors of the City the questions of(I) issuing General Obligation Bonds in the amount of up to Twenty-Three Million, Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($23,800,000.00) for the purpose of Paying the Costs of Designing, Constructing,Equipping and Furnishing on Land at the corner of East Oak Street and North Rouse Avenue or other suitable location a New Facility to House the Bozeman Police Department, Municipal Courts and Other Criminal Justice Services and for paying costs related to associated Site Improvements and the Sale and Issuance of the Bonds; and (II) Permanently Increasing Mill Levies of the City to Pay the Costs of Operating, Maintaining and Repairing Such Facility(Rosenberry) 7194- TABLED UNTIL LATER IN THE MEETING Page 5 of 15 Bozeman City Commission Minutes,July 28, 2014 07:36:25 PM Motion and Vote to table the item Resolution No. 4545, with amendment provided by staff,submitting to the Electors of the 00)the questions of issuing General Obligation Bonds.
