Introduction of new Chief of Police
City Manager Wysocki introduced to the Commission the new Police Chief as of May
1, former Assistant Chief Dick Boyer. He briefly highlighted Chief Boyer's background,
noting he is a twenty-year veteran of the Bozeman Pol ice Department. He noted that Chief
Boyer has had a substantial amount of training in various areas; he has worked on the
budget and has many community contacts. He also noted that Mr. Boyer has actively pur-
sued the writing of grant applications in the past few months, having received one for soft-
ware to convert all of the police records to an automated system. He noted that the Chief
is currently working with the County and the City of Belgrade in applying for grants to
create a City-County drug enforcement team.
The City Manager reminded the Commission that police officers may retire after twenty
years; however, Chief Boyer has made a commitment to stay a minimum of five years with
this promotion. He then indicated that Chief Boyer will be sworn in by Judge Olsen at
10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 2, and encouraged all interested Commissioners to attend.
Chief of Police Boyer made a brief statement, thanking the City Manager for the op-
portunity and privilege of serving as Chief of Police in the Bozeman Police Department, not-
ing this culminates a life-long goal. He noted that when he became a member of the Pol ice
Department, he made a commitment to give twenty years to the City; and he is now willing

to add another five years to that commitment. He stated that he likes the job, the employ-
ees of the Pol ice Department and the City administration.
Chief Boyer stated he just recently submitted an application for a grant from the
Board of Crime Control; and he will know by the end of May whether that grant was suc-
cessful. The Chief listed the computerization of police records, including a software pack-
age that ties into the Supreme Court reporting system; establishment of a City-County drug
enforcement team; and a reduction in the number of traffic accidents through selective traf-
fic enforcement as priority work items for the upcoming year.
The Commissioners then shook hands with the new Chief of Police.
Discussion - annual review of: (a) water rates and (b) sewer rates
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commissioners that an annual review of water
and sewer rates has been recently implemented. He then distributed to the Commission
copies of projects, equipment needs and anticipated revenue needs for a five-year period,
including this fiscal year, as prepared by Administrative Services Director Gamradt. He
noted these cost estimates are based on goals set by the Commission and staff, as well as
projected dai Iy needs for those funds.
(a) The City Manager briefly highlighted the projects for the Water Fund during
the next four-year period. He noted that the first portion of the Lyman Creek project has
been completed, including installation of the floating cover on the reservoir. He noted that
the second portion of the project, which includes a portion of the piping and enclosure of
the spring, is yet to be completed. He reminded the Commission that debt service on the
first segment will be approximately $27,OSO per year; and the total debt service for both
segments will be approximately $62,000 per year.
The City Manager reminded the Commission that restructuring of the City's bonded
indebtedness generated adequate monies to cover the costs of the Water Treatment Plant ex-
pansion and the initial pipeline and valve replacement program. He noted that the bonded
indebtedness was extended for another three years, at approximately the same rate of re-
payment as in the past.
The City Manager stated that the construction phase for expansion of Hyalite dam
was projected to begin this year; however, he anticipates that wi II be delayed a year. He
reminded the Commission that as soon as the project is completed, the City will incur ap-
proximately $90,000 in bonded indebtedness on an annual basis.
The City Manager then indicated that, beginning with Fiscal Year 1991-92, $50,000
has been projected for miscellaneous capital improvement projects, which will include a con-
tinuation of the pipeline and valve replacement schedule.
City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that the bond covenants require a

125-percent coverage of the annual payments. He then noted that no projections have been
included for growth within the system or any interest earnings.
The City Manager then reviewed the projected percentage of increase, and the vari-
ous components thereof. He noted that one percent generates approximately $19 ,OSO; and
staff would recommend a 6-percent rate increase.
Commissioner Swanson noted that the proposed percentage of increase includes 3
percent for inflation ,suggesting that may be too low. He then stated an interest in in-
creasing that figure to a more realistic figure, noting that he could support a 3.5- or a
4-percent increase for inflation.
. Administrative$ervices Oirector" Gamradt cautioned the Commission that the percent-
age of rate increase projected, and the"revenues generated, cannot be tied to the actual
expenditures in any given year. He noted that the level of expenditure may vary from one
year to the next, depending upon the needs of the system; however, it is important to
maintain revenues on a rather level basis. He stated that if an extended period of time is
considered, the amount of revenues generated should be generally equal to the expenditures
incurred.
The Director then concurred with Commissioner Swanson's suggestion, noting that a
realistic inflation figure should be included.
I n response to a question from City Manager Wysocki, the Commissioners concurred
that the percentage for inflation should be increase to 3.5 for Fiscal Year 1990-91 and 4.0
percent for the remaining years on the chart.
(b) The City Manager briefly highl ighted the projects and equipment expenditures
for the Sewer Fund during the next four-year period. He noted that a study is being done
on repair of the infiltration/ percolation beds at the Waste Water Treatment Plant to deter-
mine how that repair should be made. He stated that the project is being funded through
an EPA grant because this is the same problem being incurred in I P beds in other commu-
nities throughout the country.
The City Manager then indicated that enlargement of the sludge ponds must be ad-
dressed within the next few years. Also, federal regulations must be carefully watched,
since they may result in a requirement for dewatering of the sludge. He noted that such a
change will impact the City's present system and change its future needs for equipment.
The City Manager then stated one major project appears to be replacement of the 21-
inch sewer trunk from North Rouse Avenue to North 7th Avenue. He indicated it must
first be televisioned to determine the extent of problems, with the construction project es-
timated at $150,000. He noted that another major project is the beginning of the pipeline
and manhole replacement program, at an estimated cost of $100,000 per year.
The City Manager briefly reviewed the equipment needs for the current fiscal year,
04-30-90
; , "

which include purchase of a television camera and truck, a backhoe loader, and a vapor-
rooter foaming unit.
The City Manager stated that a 1-percent increase generates approximately $9,296 in
this fund; and staff has proposed a 10-percent increase. He then asked if the Commission
wishes to add .5 percent to the proposed inflationary increase; the Commission responded in
the affirmative.
Commissioner Goehrung thanked the staff for preparing this comprehensive report.
He then encouraged the staff to follow the format for the Garbage Fund; the City Manager
q responded it ~een started.
City Manager Wysocki stated that staff will prepare resolutions to set public hearings
for both the water and sewer rate increases. The Commission concurred.
Discussion - items to be included in lobbying efforts
The City Manager submitted to the Commission a memo listing several possibilities for
legislation to be pursued during the 1991 legislative session.
1. Revision of HB193, the Information Access Montana Bill, passed during the
1989 legislative session, to add direct State aid to public libraries, which was
deleted by the Governor during his signing of the bill.
Commissioner Knapp briefly highlighted the history of HB 193 during the last legisla-
tive session. She noted the original bill asked for $3 million from the general fund for the
two-year period. She summarized the percentages to be expended in various areas, noting
that 62 percent was to be distributed as direct state aid, on a per capita basis. She in-
dicated that when the bill was finally passed and signed, only 24 percent of the original
$1.5 mi lIion per year was actually funded. She then stated that the Board of the Montana
Library Association recently voted to keep monies for legislative efforts in their budget for
the upcoming year; and they will do as much as they can to promote this item.
2. Legislation to make the gas tax a truly local option for municipalities, rather
than requiring that it be placed on the ballot through the County and clarify
collection and distribution measures.
The City Manager noted that at the present time, the local gas tax option may be
implemented only through the County. He suggested that to make the gas tax truly a local
option that could be exercised by municipalities as well could be beneficial. He noted that
no County government has ever attempted to exercise this option; and the discussion usually
centers around the collection and distribution measures contained in the existing law. He
then suggested that having both the League and MACO address the issue could be benefi-
cial.
Commissioner Goehrung noted another issue appears to be the requirement that the
first County to implement the option must cover all administrative costs at the State level.
He then suggested that item should be addressed in the legislation as well, with the
04-30-90

, i c "

proposed bill possibly providing for State funding of the administrative costs which would
be incurred for this program.
Mayor Hawks suggested that a broad brush approach might be better, with all local
option taxes being pursued at once rather than singling this one out.
The City Manager noted that local option taxes are included on the agenda for the
MLCT District 10 meeting to be held on May 9.
3. Revise municipal licensing and bonding requirements for itinerant vendors so
it is no longer tied to County licensing requirements. Perhaps add bonding
requirements to the statute.
The City Manager indicated that this is in response to concerns raised by the pho-
tography segment, as well as other retailers in the community, over itinerant vendors who
come in and sell from trucks or other temporary locations, then leave ~ He noted that under
the present statute, the City may only charge a $15 license fee and cannot require any
bond to ensure that the products they se/Jareof good quality, while local businesses must
pay a minimum of $25 in licensing fees. He stated that under this proposal, municipal li-
censing would be free-standing; and a bond could be required.
In response to a question from Commissioner Swanson, Ms. Daria Joyner, Executive
Director of the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Chamber is not pursu-
ing this issue at the present time. She noted that complaints about itinerant vendors seem
to come to her office in cycles; and she has received none recently.
City Attorney Becker cautioned that ICC rules must be carefully considered and ac-
commodated when considering this type of legislation.
4. Legislation addressing whether recyclers are required to be licensed by the
PSC and whether more than one may operate in a community.
City Manager Wysocki reminded 'the Commission that the staff requested an opinion
from the Public Service Commission, dated March 13, 1990, regarding this issue; however,
the opinion received did not seem to clarify the question.
Mr. Bob Fagliano, manager of ~aste, Martagement Partners, distributed to the Com-
mission a letter concerning this item. He stated that his office requested, and received, a
copy of the opinion which ,the, PSC sent to the, City Attorney, concurring that it really does
not seem to clarify the issue. He theri Offered the City his firm's assistance in implement-
ing the curbside recycling program. .,,-
Mr. Fagliano then suggested that recycling may not be governed by transportation
r;ules because most of the revenues are generated by sale of the items collected, rather
than through fees received for removal of those items.
City Attorney Becker briefly highlighted the PSC response, noting it appears that if
there is no local government subsidy for the recycling program, then it may not be subject
to the transportation for hire rules and regulations. He noted that any governmental sub-
04-30-90

. "

sidy of the program could "raise a red flag."
Mr. Bob Fagliano noted that his business operates under a Class D license, which
does not allow them to recycle.
Commissioner Goehrung noted that people from Sanders County are raising many of
these questions also.
City Manager Wysocki suggested that a declaratory ruling from the Public Service
Commission might be another avenue to pursue, noting it may be quicker and easier than
seeking a legislative change.
S. Encourage increased State support of the Solid Waste Bureau (increase staff-
ing level from existing 1 i positions).
The City Manager noted that, with recent terminations, the State is basically without
a Solid Waste Bureau. He suggested that the City encourage expansion of State support
for that bureau, to a level of staffing that will be responsive to needs around the State.
Mayor Hawks noted that Wisconsin just passed a recycling bill, and Vermont appears
to be on the verge of doing so. He then asked if Montana is prepared to adopt a first-
phase recycling bill, and whether newspapers might be required to use a certain percentage
of recycled paper.
Commissioner Goehrung indicated that is one of the questions the Environmental
Quality Committee is looking at. He then noted the committee will be drafting legislation;
and it might be in the City's interests to attempt to influence them.
6. Carefully watch for any proposed bills concerning subdivision review and ap-
proval in the jurisdictional area. It may not be in the City's best interests
to propose any bills affecting this area; however, any proposed changes sub-
mitted by others should be closely reviewed.
The City Manager suggested that any legislation concerning subdivision review and
approval in the jurisdictional area should be carefully watched to ensure that they do not
negatively impact the City's current authority. He noted it does not appear that it would
be in the City's best interests to pursue legislation in this area, since it could be "opening
Pandora's box" and have the wrong results.
Mayor Hawks observed that the State may be ready to take a more pro-active role
for new subdivision regulations than it has been in the past, suggesting it may be an
appropriate time to pursue new regulations that would be beneficial for municipalities.
Assistant to the City Manager Ron Brey stated the Montana Association of Planners
works closely with the Department of Commerce on interpretation and legislation. He stated
p~
J$" .Ac do..=- cIIIL;....;fJCI tt:: Ll.at M/'.P' will purell!'! some legiSla~rln t area; however, he reminded
the Commission that Bozeman is located in an urban area, and it is difficult to generate
support for urban areas in the Legislature since the State is predominately non-urban in
nature.
Mayor Hawks noted that one of the Commission's goals for the upcoming year is to
04-30-90
.. "
l

protect the air quality and groundwater quality; however, the City has no tools to do so.
He suggested that this could possibly be addressed through this section of the code. The
Mayor then suggested that rather than "carefully watch, II the Commission could possibly
"encourage" bi lis concerning subdivision regulations.
The City Manager suggested that the Commission may wish to meet with Alec Hansen,
Executive Director of the Montana League of Cities and Towns. either before or after the
district meeting to allow him an opportunity to provide the Commission with an historical
perspective on this issue. The Commission concurred, requesting that the meeting be held
after the district meeting has been completed.
7. Carefully watch for any proposed bills concerning implementation of impact
fees for developments. It is beneficial to have the ability to assess such
fees; and that may be possible under existing law. Care must be taken to
ensure that no proposed legislation takes that right away.
The City Manager noted that the same language was used for this item as on the
above item. He reminded the Commission that some of the communities in the State have
implemented impact fees for utilities under the current statutes; and care must be taken to
ensure that this option remains available.
8. Submit changes to Sections lS-S-201 thru 212, MCA, regarding professional
service contracts for SI D's. Eliminating the need to seek proposals where
property owner has engaged an engineer.
The City Manager reminded the Commission that two years ago. the City pursued
legislation which would exempt engineering for special improvement districts from these
sections of the State statutes. He stated that under the present statutes. preliminary engi-
neering must be done before the process for creating a special improvement district; howev-
er. after the process has been started, the City must solicit requests for the engineering
and complete that process, unless the project is very small. He noted that when the legis-
lation was in committee, representatives from the engineering group approached Mr. Alec
Hansen and gave assurances that they would forward a letter stipulating that they would
not require the request for proposals process for engineering for special improvement dis-
tricts. He noted that letter was never written; and the City is still in the same position it
was two years ago.
The City Manager then stated that he feels the developer could request a specific
engineer; and the City would still have enough safeguards to ensure that the project was
completed in accordance with all City standards.
9. Support of the Montana Tax Reform Coalition proposals.
Mayor Hawks proposed this item, suggesting that if the tax reform proposals are ac-
ceptable, the City shou Id go on record as supporting them. He noted that restructuring of
the revenue system is definitely needed.
10. Revision of the bill passed during the last legislative session regarding the
annexation of wholly surrounded parcels.

Mayor Hawks asked about the City's ability to annex wholly surrounded parcels at
the present time.
City Manager Wysocki responded that during the last legislative session, the City
pursued legislation which would allow municipalities to annex wholly surrounded parcels ten
acres or less in size. He stated that, in response to testimony from truck farmers, the
Legislature adopted the bill after amending it to two acres or less.
The Mayor noted that this legislation leaves the City with the same problem it has
had in the past, with islands of County reaping all the City services except for fire pro-
tection, while paying no City taxes. He further noted that City residents already pay a
disproportionate amount to provide services which County residents enjoy at no cost; and
that issue should be addressed.
Commissioner Knapp questioned the need to include an acreage limit, especially since
the parcel is wholly surrounded.
Commissioner Swanson requested that a report from local leaders of the tax reform
proposals be placed on next week's agenda so the Commission is aware of some of the issues
and positions.
Commissioner Swanson also requested additional information on the Governor's pro-
posal to finance a $20 million state and local government capital improvement program. The
City Manager responded that is one of the agenda items which Alec Hansen will discuss at
the district meeting.
Discussion - composition and duties of Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee
City Manager Wysocki noted that included in the Commissioners' packets were a memo
from the Clerk of the Commission providing some background information and listing the
current members of the Committee, and a copy of the interlocal agreement, dated December
22, 1976, and signed by the City, County and School District as well as approved by the
Attorney General's office.
Commissioner Goehrung noted that there are presently vacancies on the Committee,
and those vacancies need to be filled before it can be re-activated.
Mayor Hawks noted that work items recently identified for Committee consideration
include involvement in planning for the South Third Avenue sidewalk and recommending the
priorities for sidewalk installation throughout the community.
The Mayor noted that the two citizen members from the County have terms which ex-
pire at the same time. He then indicated that two of the City's three appointments are
filled by staff members; and he feels one of those staff persons should be deleted and the
position filled by a citizen. He also noted that the School District should be contacted to
see if they are interested In filling their two vacancies.

Clerk of the Commission Sullivan stated that a conversation with Superintendent of
Schools Chambers revealed that he is willing to fill those two vacancies, and will do so upon
request.
Commissioner Frost stated the interlocal agreement seems to be a good document that
creates a workable committee; and he does not feel it needs to be revised. The Commis-
sioners concurred.
Commissioner Swanson suggested another work item for the Committee could be help-
ing Chief Boyer meet his goal to cut the number of traffic accidents, by providing sug-
gestions on how to meet that goal.
Commissioner Swanson then stated an interest in having a second citizen member
representing the City, suggesting that someone from the bicycling community could be ben-
eficial.
Commissioner Knapp suggested that Montana State University should probably be
represented also, since 10,000 to 11,000 people in the community are involved with the cam-
pus.
Commissioner Frost suggested that those who are listed as members be contacted to
see if they are still interested in serving on the Committee.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goehrung, the City Manager reminded
the Commission that approximately two years ago, the Commission authorized expenditure of
$10 per'meeting for a secretary to take minutes for the Committee. He noted it was shortly
after the Committee was given authorization to expend up to $200 for secretarial services
and supplies that they went dormant.
Assistant to the City Manager Ron Brey reminded the Commission that under the
current by-laws, one member of the PTSC is to be appointed to the Transportation Coor-
dinating Committee.
The Commission instructed the Clerk of the Commission to advertise the vacancies on
the Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee, with those positions to be filled as soon as possi-
ble.
Appointments to Audit Committee (2)
City Manager Wysocki distributed to the Commission a memo listing the applicants for
these two positions.
It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that the
Commission reappoint Vern Voegele, with a two-year term to expire on February 28, 1991;
and reappoint Ken Vail, with a two-year term to expire on February 29, 1992. The motion
carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Frost,
Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Knapp, Commissioner Goehrung and Mayor Hawks;
