MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE CITY COMMISSION BOZEMAN, MONT ANA August 13, 1990 ************************ The Commission of the City of Bozeman met in regular session in the Commission Room, Municipal Building, August 13, 1990, at 3:30 p.m. Present were Mayor Hawks, Commissioner Goehrung, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Knapp, City Manager Wysocki, City Attorney Becker and Clerk of the Commission Sullivan. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. None of the Commissioners requested that any of the Consent Items be removed for discussion. Minutes - August 6, 1990 It was moved by Commissioner Goehrung, seconded by Commissioner Frost, that the minutes of the regular meeting of August 6, 1990 be approved as amended. The motion carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Goehrung, Commissioner Frost, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Knapp and Mayor Hawks; those voting No, none. Committee re riorities for installation of sidewalks - The City Manager stated that a copy of the written report from the Pedestrian/ Traffic Safety Committee was included in the Commissioners' packets. He then noted that Mr. Dean Drenk is present to discuss this report. Mr. Dean Drenk, Chairman of the Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee, stated that the Committee deferred submitting this report to the Commission for a period of one week so they could consider at length the comments submitted by residents of Westridge. He stated that following review of the comments received as well as the entire issue, it was determined that Westridge should not be treated differently from other areas of the com- munity. Mr. Drenk stated that the Committee's report has been developed based on a con- cern for pedestrian safety, not on the many emotional issues and arguments which were raised, particularly during the public meeting on this issue. He stated that, based upon the safety issue, the Committee determined that sidewalks should be constructed in all ar- eas of the community to provide an area for pedestrians which is separate from the vehicu- lar passageways. Responding to Mayor Hawks, Mr. D ren k stated the Committee has not received revised figures on the number of children in Westridge that would be walking to school. 08-13-90 ,:,",':'" . - 2 - He noted that the estimates submitted to the Committee by residents in that area ranged upward from twelve. He further noted that he does not feel that a threshold on the num- ber of children residing in an area can be established as a justification for requiring the installation of sidewalks. He also stated that the current population of Westridge could change over the next few years, and just a few families moving into that area with chil- dren could drastically alter the statistics. Commissioner Goehrung noted that some of the streets on the high priority list for installation of sidewalks may impact the University, asking if they have been contacted about this proposal. Mr. Drenk responded in the negative. Commissioner Swanson asked about the possibility of installing sidewalks on one side of the street only. Mr. Drenk stated the Committee did not address that particular issue, noting it is a political item which must be addressed by the Commission in accordance with its sidewalk pol icy. He reiterated that the Committee addressed the installation of sidewalks strictly from a safety standpoint. He then stated that sidewalks provide a safe link upon which pedestrians can move from one point to another. Responding to Commissioner Swanson, the City Manager stated that Fieldstone Drive was constructed as a private street which does not meet standards. He noted that any discussion on splitting of costs of the sidewalk on only one side of the street must be addressed to the developer of that subdivision. Responding to a question from the City Manager, Mr. Drenk stated that the Com- mittee recognizes that some areas have been subdivided, but installation of sidewalks has not been required until a certain percentage of that property has been developed. He noted that this report recognizes those areas, although they do not meet the present City policy. Mr. Dean Drenk stated that a small core of the Committee members have worked dil- igently to prepare this report. He stated that, although not voted on line by line, the Committee members involved have unanimously endorsed the concepts contained in this re- port. Mayor Hawks thanked Mr. Drenk and the Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee for thei r report. It was moved by Commissioner Frost, seconded by Commissioner Swanson, that the Commission acknowledge receipt of the report on priorities for installation of sidewalk as submitted by the Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee. 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; those voting No, none. 08-13-90 ~ i . - 3 - Responding to Commissioner Swanson, the Commissioners decided that a tou r of those streets listed as top priority and a review of the City's current sidewalk policy would be the appropriate steps to follow next. They further concurred that any revisions they feel are necessary to the sidewalk policy should be made prior to any action being taken on ordering the installation of sidewalks. Commissioner Goehrung noted that requiring installation of sidewalks yet this year is impractical. He suggested, however, notice could be given yet this year that individ- uals must install sidewalks by a date specific next year, with the City to contract for those installation of those sidewalks remaining uncompleted as of that date. The Commissioners then requested that a copy of the sidewalk policy be included in next week's packet, with discussion of that policy to be included on the following week's agenda. Discussion - FYI Items City Manager Wysocki presented to the Commission the following "For Your Informa- tion" items. (1) Chair notes from the Pedestrian/Traffic Safety Committee meeting held on August 6, 1990. (2) Letter from the Battered Women's Network thanking City Attorney Becker for his newly-instituted policy regarding domestic abuse cases.

(5) The City Manager submitted his weekly report as follows. (1) Spent time analyzing where budget cuts could be made in preparation for this week's work session. (2) Spent Tuesday in mediation sessions with the Police bargaining group. (3) Staff met with the Soviet visitors on Wednesday morning.

(6) Commissioner Goehrung distributed to the Commission copies of information regarding recycling, including "Rules of Recycling" published in the August 1990 issue of Governing magazine; IllGarbage' issue solutions: Recycle, make waste expensive" published in the Nation's Cities Weekly; "A Common Challenge, Diverse Solutions", a guest editorial published in the December 1988 issue of Resource Recovery; "Seattle: A Case Study in System Planning" published in the December 1988 issue of Resource Recovery; and "The Minneapolis Plan: Integrating Recycling and Garbage Collection" published in the February 1989 issue of Resource Recovery. ( 7) Commissioner Frost submitted the following report. (1) Attended the City- County Planning Boa rd on Tuesday evening. Items of discussion included the budget, where it was noted the City is levying 2.0 mills, while the County is still levying only 1.1 mills in the jurisdictional area and 2.0 in the remainder of the county for a county-wide planning effort. He noted that this failure to increase the mill levy in the jurisdictional area has resulted in a $7,000 shortfall in the department's budget; and they are now at- tempting to address that shortfall. He then noted that the review fees being charged are not covering staff time, as evidenced by recent review of the Stonegate appl ication. He noted that 78 staff hours were spent on that project; at $15 per hour, that translates to $1,300; and the application fee was $650. He then suggested that fee structure should be revised to more closely cover the costs of processing, possibly with a differential between in-city and out-of-city projects to accommodate the difference In mill levies. (2) Observed that the number of building permits in Bozeman are equal with those in Billings, which has a staff of fourteen people. (3) The number of applicants for filling the vacant planner position has been reduced to four. (4) Attended the master plan meeting on Wednesday morning.

(8) Commissioner Swanson submitted the following report. ( 1) U pda ted the Com- mission on the status of the possible creation of a bicycle advisory board. He noted that several people have reviewed the draft ordinance and by-laws; and hopefully a draft ordi- nance wi" be ready for Commission consideration in the near future.

(9) Commissioner Knapp stated that on Wednesday morning, she attended the 08-13-90 I 'i - 5 - first meeting of the task force which is reviewing how the monies received from various funding sources are being utilized for senior citizen activities and programs. She noted that the meeting revealed that the programs being provided with these monies seem to no longer be considered enrichment programs, but rather are programs to help those who cannot help themselves. (10) Mayor Hawks submitted the following. (1) Asked Commissioner Swanson to follow through with staff on the proposed auction of additional Valley Unit lots this fall. (2) Thanked Commissioner Swanson for hosting the Soviet delegation and Commissioners at his home on Tuesday evening, noting he feels the evening was successful. (3) Attended the master plan on Wednesday morning, noting concurrence with Commissioner Frost's anal- ysis.

B rea k - 4: 21 to 4: 26 p. m . Mayor Hawks declared a break from 4: 21 p.m. to 4: 26 P . m. , in accordance with Commission policy established at their regular meeting of March 14, 1983. 08-13-90 ""'~:' ~ i - 6 - Work Session - budget for Fiscal Year 1990-91 Mayor Hawks noted that several people involved in the library are present to dis- cuss issues concerning that budget unit. He reminded the Commissioners that at last week1s meeting, frustration was expressed about the level of County support for the lI- brary; and a user1s fee for county residents was mentioned. Commissioner Knapp stated that she has spent much of her public service over the past ten years in this area, serving on the Library Board of Trustees. She stated that the only reason a user fee is being discussed is to increase income; and she noted that the amount generated through this source would be less than anticipated. Ms. Helen Kerr, member of the Library Board of Trustees, indicated that those present have no formal presentation, but they are willing to respond to questions from the Commission. Responding to questions, Ms. Peg Hileman, former Director of the Library for 34 years, briefly highlighted the history of user fees. She noted that administering user fees was a nightmare for staff members. She also stated that the amount generated was much lower than the amount which the County currently contributes. She stated that the fee was $3 initially, then $8, and finally $10 before the user fee was eliminated. She stat- ed that people philosophically believe that the library services should be free for every- one; therefore, there was great resistance to the fee. She also noted that people were ingenious in their methods of avoiding the fee; and those created additional problems for staff. Mr. Steve Cottrell, Director of the Library, stated that there is no charge for in- terlibrary loans within Gallatin County; however, the State now reimburses Library in the amount of $5.50 for interlibrary loans outside Gallatin County upon submittal of a request and documentation. He then stated that to receive those reimbursement monies, the li- brary must agree to not charge for its interlibrary loans. He then stated that the library is presently loaning books to some of the small rural and private schools; however, many of the rural schools are attempting to establish their own small libraries. Mr. Cottrell then cited the State statutes, copies of which the City Manager dis- tributed to the Commission. He stated that Section 22-1-311, M.C.A., specifies in part that "Every library established under the provisions of this part shall be free to the use of the inhabitants of the city or the county supporting such library." He noted that the Library Board of Trustees has entered into an agreement with the County for library ser- vices; and the County is currently assessing a mill levy for existing libraries within the county. He stated that under this section of the statute, the library cannot charge fees above and beyond the public funding provided. Ms. Edna Berg, member of the Library Board of Trustees, stated that the Library 08-13-90 ':;;:~" . .. - 7 - Board has approached the County Commission on an annual basis, requesting an increase in funding for this library. She noted that the County has increased that amount sl ightly over the past seven years; however, they are unable to increase it any more at this time because of 1-105. She suggested that when that tax freeze is lifted, the City may realize more funding from the County. Ms. Berg then read the guest editorial which former Li- brary Board member John Parker had written in June 1976. Mr. Cottrell stated that a potential legislative change request would exempt the mill levy for public libraries from the provisions of 1-105. He noted that, if approved, that change would allow the County to increase its contribution. He then stated that one alter- native funding option which has been considered is the creation of a library district. He noted, however, that if a district were established following the boundaries of the high school district, the mill levy would generate less monies that the current funding sources provide. Commissioner Swanson asked about the possibility of providing a mechanism for ac- cepting donations from county residents who recognize the disparity in funding sources for the library and wish to personally contribute. Dr. Howard Busching, Bozeman Publ ic Library Foundation, recognized that there may be some who wish to pay their fair share; however, he did not anticipate that any large sums of money would be generated from this source. He then indicated that monies raised by the Foundation may be utilized for capital purchases; however, they cannot be used for operating expenses. Dr. Busching then stated that the Foundation does not wish to take any action which might jeopardize the funding sources for the library which are currently in place. Mayor Hawks suggested that a donation box could be provided at the reception desk, along with a sign which reminds people of the fact that the library is 85 percent supported by City funds, while 45 percent of the users are county residents. He sug- gested that, based on fairness, most people would contribute through that box. Commissioner Frost reminded those in attendance that the City is operating under 1-105, just as the County is. Mr. Morris Jaffe asked if the 13-percent increase in re-evaluation under HB703 won't generate more tax monies, which could be utilized in funding of the library op- erations. Commissioner Frost responded that the re-evaluation has created a reshuffl ing of the tax burden between commercial and residential properties; therefore, the City has not realized a 13-percent increase in mill levy revenues. He further noted that the City has incurred increasing costs across the board; and all of those must be considered equally. City Manager Wysocki submitted to the Commission a summary of changes which they 08-13-90 "-(" =!" - ~ .. - 8 - have already made, along with additional changes which will provide a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 1990-91, as follows: GENERAL FUND Beginning Balance ($ 29,980) Additions Enforcement officer ($ 22,000) Urban designer ( 29,000) Parks and Open Space Study ( 5,000) Total Additions ( 56,000) Deletions City Commission - travel $ 1 ,000 Clerk of Commission - supplies 150 Streets -salaries 3,000 Streets - suppl ies 6,000 Streets - gas & oil 3,000 Streets - contracted services 36,200 Bogert Pavi I ion roof 35,000 Swim Center heater 9,800 Elections 5,000 Computer maintenance 8,000 Fire base station 3, 1 00 Senior Center carpet 2,000 Trim headstones 2,300 Pol ice telephones 1,000 Parks and Open Space Study 10,000 Cemetery - sprinkling system 6,000 Total Deletions 131,550 Ending Balance $ 45,570 NON-GENERAL FUND Deletions Comprehensive Insurance $ 3,000 Recycl ing 80,000 To be funded from Reserves Transportation plan $ 50,000 Underground tanks 12,500 The City Manager stated that the additions to the budget have already been agreed upon by the Commission. He then noted that the deletions I isted through the Streets bud- get unit were discussed at last week's meeting; and the Commission has a Iready stated concurrence with those changes. He indicated that if all of the proposed changes are made, it will result in reducing the General Fund portion of the budget by $45,570, which is equal to 1.83 mills. Mayor Hawks asked the City Manager to review the summary of proposed changes, . concentrating on each of the new items he has proposed for deletion as well as an explana- tion of the impacts those deletions might have on activities for the upcoming year. The City Manager then reviewed those proposed deletions, as follows. 08-13-90 II . - 9 - Bogert Pavi lion roof - $35,000. The rolled roof which is currently on this struc- ture is in need of replacement. This item can be deferred for one year without doing sig- nificant damage to the plywood sub-roof; however, it must be addressed during next fiscal year's budget. Responding to a question from Commissioner Swanson, the City Manager stated he does not feel that maintenance items should be funded through long-term or short-term fi- nancing, but should be funded on a cash basis. Swim Center heater - $9,800. This heater would warm the lobby area of the Swim Center, which can now receive cold blasts of air if both the double sets of doors are open at the same time. This item is not crucial, although it would make the lobby area more comfortable. Elections - $5,000. Following review of the potential for an election this year and the schedule of elections for the upcoming year, it has been determined that if a primary election is held for Commissioners next year, it will occur in September. He further noted that no special City elections are now anticipated in June; therefore, this amount may be deleted from the budget. Computer maintenance - $8,000. The current maintenance contract on the IBM Sys- tem/38 computer is becoming extremely expensive. A maintenance contract can be estab- lished with a person who has access to the "second market" at a considerable savings. Also, a used computer like the current model, which cost $140,000 when new, may now be acquired for $5,000 to $6,000; and purchasing another computer and putting it in another location to serve as back-up to the present system in case of catastrophe may be in the City's best interests rather than keeping the expensive maintenance contract. Fire base station - $3,100. The current base station for the Fire Department's ra- dio system is old; and replacement parts are no longer available. This item may be elim- inated at this time; however, if the base radio breaks down, it must be replaced immedi- a te I y . Senior Center carpet - $2,000. It would be nice to replace the carpet in the up- stairs meeting room at this time; however, it is not necessary. This item may be delayed without any damage or danger being incurred. Trim headstones - $2,300. It costs $2,300 to contract trimming around all of the headstones in the cemetery on a one-time basis. The departmental request was for three times during the summer, which was reduced to twice in the recommendations forwarded to the Commission; and this reduction would provide for one trimming just before Memorial Day. Responding to questions, the City Manager stated he feels it is necessary to con- tract the trimming around the headstones just prior to Memorial Day because all of the City 08-13-90 . ~~ - 10 - crews are busy at that time preparing the remainder of the cemetery as well as all of the parks for that weekend as well as for the summer. Police telephones - $1,000. A review of this budget unit revealed that some of the costs budgeted under this line item will be covered under the 9-1-1 budget unit and fund- ing source. Parks and Open Space Study - $10,000. The City Manager stated he recognizes this is one of the items which the Commission feels should be addressed this year; howev- er, he suggested that it be delayed until next fiscal year. Cemetery - sprinkling systems - $6,000. City crews are currently attempting to separate the cemetery and Lindley Park sprinkling systems so that well water can be utilized for irrigating while keeping that water separate from the City's domestic water supply. This reduction will allow for only a portion of the cemetery system to be convert- ed to well water this year, with the remainder to be converted next fiscal year. Comprehensive Insurance - $3,000. The amount budgeted under this line item may be reduced by this $3,000 without Incurring any major problems. The City Manager noted that the reduction will leave $12,000 in that budget unit; and the actual expenditures in the past three years have been just under that amount. Recycl ing - $80,000. This reduction would leave $30,000 in the budget to begin the education program for recycling. The City Manager noted that public awareness is the first step in establishing a successful curbside recycling program; and he feels that this amount would be adequate for the current fiscal year. City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commission that the recommendations he had submitted to the Commission included a 128.39 mill levy; and under these proposed adjust- ments, that could be reduced by 1.95 mills, to a new total of 126.44 mills. He noted that last year's mill levy was 127.06 mills. The City Manager then suggested that the $142,000 in capital items presently bud- geted for this fiscal year the street maintenance district budget unit could be funded through a five-year INTERCAP loan. That would result in an annual payment of $36,034, which would free some monies initially for more projects. Mayor Hawks stated he feels it is important to fund the parks and open space plan, suggesting that it could possibly be funded from the undesignated reserves. The City Manager concurred that would be a possibility. He cautioned the Commis- sion, however, that it has taken several years to build the current $500,000 reserve; and spending should be done very carefully. He noted that a reversal of the recent reappraisal could reduce the City's revenues; and then either cuts would be required or monies would need to be taken from the reserves to fund the current budget. He further noted that the reserves are needed to cover expenditures during the period July through 08-13-90 .. " - 11 - November, until tax collections begin to arrive. Responding to Mayor Hawks, the City Manager stated he does not anticipate that the undesignated reserve will be increased very much with closing of the Fiscal Year 1990 books, particularly after monies for the capital replacement program are taken out. Commissioner Swanson noted that in the transmittal letter, the list of activities to be performed by an urban planner includes administration of a parks, open space and trails plan. He then suggested that if the Commission deletes the $10,000 for development of that plan as proposed by the City Manager, they should charge the new person with the primary responsibility for developing that plan. The City Manager cautioned the Commission that they could transmit that desire to the City-County Planning Board; however, that board is autonomous. Commissioner Frost expressed concern about deleting the parks, open space and trails plan from the budget, suggesting that it be funded in the amount of $5,000 this fis- cal year. Following discussion, the Commissioners concurred in that suggestion, noting it should be funded under the Parks budget unit. During Commission discussion of the budget and the proposed deletions, the City Manager reminded the Commission that this is a full-service city; and it is important to maintain the services it currently provides. He stated there is a threshold for funding of those services; and going below that threshold would have a dramatic negative impact on them. Commissioner Goehrung stated that a review of the April 2 list of goals as estab- lished by the Commission revealed that all of the top fifteen goals, except No. 12, which is the parks and open space plan, would be accommodated under the revisions proposed by the City Manager. He then noted that the urban design planner position, which has been added at the Commission's request, is not in direct response to any of the top goals which they had established in April. Commissioner Goehrung then noted that recycling has surfaced as one of the top priority goals for the last two or three years . He expressed concern that the proposal to cut that budget item to $30,000 may not provide adequate monies to begin the education program which is necessary to make this a viable program. Commissioner Goehrung then noted that two new positions are being added in the planning area under this proposed budget, in addition to the six currently in that depart- ment. He questioned whether the community is willing to fund these additional expenses, in addition to the $50,000 for the master plan and zone code last year, and $50,000 for the transportation plan this year. Mayor Hawks responded that two years were spent developing the master plan, which addresses community concerns; and he feels it is important to meet the goals of that 08-13-90 ----~--- ~ ~ " - 12 - document as well as the Commission's goals. He also noted that the number of building permits issued has increased dramatically; and the department is grossly understaffed. The Commissioners also expressed concerns about the level of County funding which is being contributed to planning as well as to the library. They recognized that while the county residents receive benefit from both of these programs, the city residents are the ones who contribute the lion's share of revenues. Commissioner Knapp noted that reaching the Commission's goals through this budget has been discussed; however, continuation of existing services, such as police, fire and library, has not been mentioned. She then questioned how the Commission can contemplate depriving those continuing services of monies to meet its goals, which may be only momen- tary in nature. She also stated that maintenance of existing infrastructure is good stewardship and must be accommodated in the budgeting process. The Commissioner then stated she does not believe that funding of the goals of the planning process or the Com- mission's goals can be made a priority over those funding needs of the existing operations. Mayor Hawks stated that at the conference on balancing aesthetics with economic development which he and Commissioner Swanson attended in January, one basic premise was that the quality of life issues are a part of the infrastructure of a community and must be addressed as such to maintain a vital community. Responding to Commissioner Frost, the City Manager stated that 9.98 mills are in- cluded in this budget to cover the Valley Unit special improvement district bond expenses which are to be incurred during this fiscal year. The City Manager then stated that with the revisions to the budget which he has proposed, less $5,000 for the parks, open space and trails plan, the mill levy for this fis- cal year will be 126.64 mills, which is .43 mill less than last year's levy. City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commissioners that they have previously de- termined that $50,000 should be taken from the undesignated reserve to fund the transpor- tation plan, and $12,500 should be taken from the undesignated reserve to fund removal of the underground storage tanks prior to the end of the calendar year.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, APPROPRIATING CITY FUNDS FOR VARIOUS BUDGET UNIT EXPENDITURES, AND FURTHER APPROPRIATING REVENUE NECESSARY TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN CITY SERVICES FOR SALARIES, OPERATIONS AND CAPITAL FOR EACH OPERA- TIONAL BUDGET UNIT OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1991. 08-13-90 - .. ."
