07:05:28 PM Motion that having considered all materials, written and spoken public
comments, and recommendations of staff, I move to approve Resolution 4576 adopting
the Bozeman Fiber Master Plan and Feasibility Study and direct staff to immediately
proceed with implementation planning and engineering for Phase I with a goal of

Commissioner - Chris Mehl: Motion
Commissioner- I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
07:06:17 PM Commission Discussion
Cr. MehI thanked staff and stated that this began in 2012. He spoke regarding the prior
survey and public comment and that there is an overwhelming need to do this. He spoke
regarding competition, he is struck with the goals and objectives, speed, functionality but
we are talking about equal access to anyone that is a residence or business. He leans
towards a non-profit. It is important that this be scalable and the ability to have local
control. Good idea to have local financing. Many other cities are doing this and gave
Butte as an example and spoke regarding Missoula. There is a demand for this. The
Performa is fairly conservative. He hopes that the schools are in. Need to present
ourselves as the equals of large cities such as Seattle.
Cr. Pomeroy stated that in 2012 the City created a Steering committee and she agrees
with Cr. Mehl. She agrees that this will create a separate entity, the County and users will
cover the infrastructure and city will not take a risk, there is a need for the information
infrastructure, and this will attract big paying jobs here. She supports.
Mayor Krauss- spoke regarding prior involvement. He spoke regarding the use of TIF
money and the TIF on North Seventh. He stated that it would be wise for them to borrow
and extend the TIF and put in the fiber, sidewalks and lights. The time is right to do that.
Cities exist to facilitate commerce and create wealth. Governments provide infrastructure,
and he sees this in this way. He has some caveats with TIF money and non-profits. This
seems to be the right thing to do. Doesn't want to over promise, it will drive the economy
in Bozeman.
Cr. Andrus supports the plan. Broadband and fiber are the 21s' Century and it is a good
plan. The Mayor made good comments about the TIF and financing.
Cr. Taylor stated he has given a lot of thought. He appreciates the time and energy that
has gone into this and spoke regarding competing. There is a need to take the step
forward, always concerned about unintended consequences are. Just have to rely on the
people you appoint and trust. Great example of where government works and is good for
a community. This will attract companies.
07:28:32 PM Vote on the Motion that having considered all materials, written and
spoken public comments, and recommendations of staff, I move to approve Resolution
4576 adopting the Bozeman Fiber Master Plan and Feasibility Study and direct staff to
