Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Carolyn Poissant – Manager of Trails, Open Space and Parks
Design and Development
Mitch Overton – Director of Parks, Recreation and Cemetery
SUBJECT: Access Agreements for Bozeman Creek Enhancement TOP Project
MEETING DATE: January 25, 2016
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Approve six (6) temporary Access Agreements (Attachments A, B, C,
D, E and F) with adjacent property owners to allow construction of improvements associated with the Bozeman Creek Enhancement at Bogert Park Trails, Open Space, and Parks Bond Project and authorize the City Manager to sign the appropriate documents.
BACKGROUND: Resolution 4492 approved the allocation of Trails, Open Space and Parks
(TOP) bond funding in an amount not to exceed $440,000 for the design and construction of
stream channel enhancements along approximately 800 feet of the Bozeman Creek through
Bogert Park to return it to a more ecologically sustainable condition, adding floodplain,
hydraulic flow controls, and stabilizing vegetation to eliminate bank scouring. A new metal
pedestrian bridge will be installed to replace the existing wooden bridge, and a small, barrier-free
fishing platform will be installed near the Bogert pavilion. The widened creekbed will enhance
safety and usability of the creek by reducing stream velocity during annual spring run-off and
providing healthier habitat for fish and wildlife.
The project is sponsored by the Bozeman Creek Enhancement Committee (BCEC), a partnership
of city, state and federal agencies, community groups and individuals, including the Bozeman
Parks and Recreation Department, Downtown Bozeman Partnership, Friends of Bogert Park,
Gallatin Local Water Quality District, Gallatin Valley Land Trust, Greater Gallatin Watershed
Council, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and Trout Unlimited. The project is consistent with
the Bozeman Creek Enhancement Plan, adopted by the Bozeman City Commission on July 23,
2012, the Bogert Park Master Plan, the Downtown Improvement Plan and the Bozeman
Community Plan.
The Access Agreements (Attachments A – F) grant access to the City to construct the streambed
and riparian floodplain improvements as designed and permitted by federal and state authorities
in and along Bozeman Creek in Bogert Park.
137
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: We expect final approvals from federal and state agencies (Federal
Emergency Management Agency, Army Corps of Engineers, and Montana Department of
Natural Resources) within 60 days. The project will be competitively bid in March.
ALTERNATIVES: The work as design requires these approvals. Working outside of the adjacent property boundaries would be cost-prohibitive and not have the same restorative effects.
FISCAL EFFECTS: There is no cost associated with the Access Agreements (i.e., none of the
property owners requested compensation). The Parks Department will provide on-going
maintenance of the improvements as needed.
ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A – Access Agreement for 306 Lindley Place
Attachment B – Access Agreement for 316 Lindley Place
Attachment C – Access Agreement for 320 Lindley Place
Attachment D – Access Agreement for 322 Lindley Place
Attachment E – Access Agreement for 326 Lindley Place Attachment F – Access Agreement for 310. E. Koch Street

the existing channel bed through the Owner’s property and to construct a rock toe along a
section of the bank within the Owner’s property as part of the Bozeman Creek Enhancement at Bogert Park Project. Construction activities will be performed primarily with tracked excavators.
Other heavy equipment such as tracked skid steers, rock haul trucks, and loaders may also be
necessary to manage materials. All excavation equipment will operate from either the east bank of Bozeman Creek or in the channel bed. No heavy equipment will be allowed to operate from

erosion/scour protection. b. Channel Regrading. The existing stream bed will be regraded between stations 4+01 - 4+38. An excavator will remove bed material from the channel to a maximum depth of 1’
below existing bed. The west bank and vegetation along the west bank will be unaffected by this operation. c. Revegetation channel banks. Plants and shrubs will be planted along the lower portion of
