City of Bozeman, MT 10 FY18 Approved Budget
July 1, 2017
Bozeman City Commission:
I am pleased to present to you the Approved Budget for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 (FY18).
This budget represents the thoughtful work of dozens of people in developing the
spending plan for our organization for the coming fiscal year.
Overview:
Bozeman is a vital, growing and changing city. In my brief tenure with the city of
Bozeman, I have been focused on bringing forward a budget that permits the city to
live within our means, while at the same time attempts to help the city organization
cope with our community’s rapid growth and change.
Significant changes during the past 12 months
1. Continued Growth – Our community’s most recent evidence of continued
growth includes the US Census data showing an estimated population
increase of 4.3% this year, on top of the 4.2% increase for last year. We see
strong building permit activity and increased traffic counts and congestion on
City streets. So much of our budget recommendation is made in response to
the prolonged growth that Bozeman continues to experience.
2. New Fuel Tax Dollars – As a result of the legislature’s adoption of House Bill
273, the City will receive approximately $266,000 in additional state fuel tax
funding in FY18. This amount is expected to increase to nearly $700,000 in
FY19. We are recommend a reducing the amount of Arterial & Collector
District assessment increase because of this new funding source.
3. Marsy’s Law Implementation – In order to respond to the requirements of the
Marsy’s Law provisions for victims of crimes, we recommend that a half-time
position in the City Attorney’s office be increased to full-time, support be given
for an increase in the County’s Victim’s Services programs, and to proceed with
software implementations within our City Attorney’s office that were approved
in FY17.
City of Bozeman, MT 11 FY18 Approved Budget
4.Strategic Plan - With the Commission’s Strategic Planning effort underway
but not completed, we are attempting to get ahead of a few key Strategic Plan
priorities by including a full-time Communications Coordinator position
beginning in January 2018.
Staffing Level Changes
Attempting to maintain our current levels of service will require additional staff this
year in numerous departments.
General Fund Positions - Approved additions in the General Fund include:
Department/Division Position Full-Time Equivalents
Municipal Court Veterans Court Administrator –
Pending the Grant Award
1.00
City Attorney’s Office 0.5 Administrative Assistant
to 1.0 Legal Assistant I
0.50
Facilities Facilities Service Worker 1.00
City Manager’s Office Communications Coordinator 0.5 FTE (Full Time, Jan 2018)
Total 3.0 FTE
Enterprise & Special Revenue Fund Positions - Approved additions in the
Enterprise and Special Revenue Funds include:
Department/Division Position Full-Time Equivalents
Building Inspection Building Inspector I or II 1.00
Solid Waste Solid Waste Worker (Driver) 1.00
Stormwater Stormwater Specialist 1.00
Streets Streets - City Service Workers 2.00
Vehicle Maintenance Vehicle Maintenance 1.00
Water Plant Water Plant Operator 1.00
Total 7.0 FTE
The General Fund:
The City’s General Fund supports the majority of administration, public safety and
public welfare operations. It’s most significant source of revenue comes from local
property taxes. As a result, the General Fund’s operating budget and fund balance
are critically important to the financial health of the city.
This year’s General Fund budget has $31.6 Million in expenditures, in the following
areas:
City of Bozeman, MT 12 FY18 Approved Budget
Department/Division General Fund Amount
Commission $ 234,148 City Manager 1,216,952 Courts 943,811 Attorney 1,246,948 Finance (prior Admin Services) 1,065,951 Facilities 1,455,651 Information Technology 978,222 Human Resources 413,390 Police (incl. State Ret.) 9,242,015 Fire (incl. State Ret.) 6,188,814 Public Services/Streets 122,331 Cemetery 721,904 Parks 2,028,480
Library 1,993,372 Recreation 1,811,680
Economic Development 422,464 Sustainability 169,912
Non-Departmental 1,355,567
TOTAL Expenditures $31,611,612
City of Bozeman, MT 13 FY18 Approved Budget
As shown in the above graph, Police and Fire services combined comprise 49% ($15.4
Million) of the General Fund’s spending. The next largest departments are grouped
together, each spending roughly $1 - $2 Million and each comprising 3-6% of the
budget: Parks, Recreation, Library, Facilities Maintenance, City Manager, City
Attorney and Finance. Nine other departments/areas comprise the balance of
General Fund Expenditures.
General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance:
The City’s charter requires an established minimum level of General Fund
Undesignated Fund Balance in accordance with the Government Finance Officers’
Association (GFOA) Best Practices. GFOA’s Best Practice Recommendation was
adopted and our required minimum reserve balance is 16.67% of budgeted revenues.
This budget exceeds the required minimum reserve of approximately $5,060,000
(16.67%) at the end of Fiscal Year 2018.
Residential City Property Taxes for FY16, FY17, and FY18
In total, the Approved Budget would levy an estimated 205.30 mills on all taxable
property within the City limits. This represents no increase over last year. To
achieve no increase in the levy we propose:
•Calculation of maximum mill levy with estimated increase in inflation factor,
and estimate of newly taxable property increase of 4%.
•Use of estimated cash carry-over from FY17 that can be used to forego an
increase to the levy.
Assessed Market Value Estimated Taxable
Value
FY15 City Tax Levy = 188.76
mills
FY16 City Tax Levy = 210.16
mills
FY17 City Tax Levy = 205.3
mills
FY18 Estimated
City Tax Levy = 205.3 mills
Median Home ~$240,000 $3,237 $678 $729 $665 $665
$200,000 $2,700 $831 $593 $554 $554 $300,000 $4,050 $1,246 $889 $831 $831
*Tax Rates and Median Value changed due to reappraisal in FY17
The median home “assessed market value” represents the value on the tax roll for a
home within the Bozeman city limits. Median simply means that half of the homes
in the city have a higher value and half have a lower value. Each year the Median
Home value changes slightly. This year is a re-appraisal year for the State
Department of Revenue; the value of a median home could change again with new
data from the reappraisal. Based on the information we have today, the median
home will pay $3.23 in City property taxes for every mill levied in Fiscal Year 2018.
City of Bozeman, MT 14 FY18 Approved Budget
Residents living in the median home are estimated $665 in annual property taxes to
the City. Again, this represents no increase in property taxes.
General Taxes - Cost per Mill
For the coming fiscal year, we are estimating a 4% increase in the value of taxable
property across the city. Taking into account the 1.5% reduction in values we
experienced in FY16, taxable values for the City have an average increase of only
1.7% per year for the past 5 years. However, given the continued strong building
permit activity and the new two-year reappraisal cycle, we believe this estimate is
appropriate.
Citywide Street and Tree Maintenance Assessments
City property owners pay an annual street maintenance, arterial street, and tree
assessment based on the square footage of the lot they own. These assessments are
the major funding for Street Maintenance, Arterial Street capital, and Forestry
Divisions.
The budget is based on a 17% increase in the Street Maintenance assessment,
resulting in an annual assessment of $198.02 for the average sized lot. The majority
of this increase is attributed to the least year of phase-in of an added $1 Million in
annual pavement maintenance.
The new Arterial and Collector Street Assessment District is recommended to proceed
with the original plan: to phase-in assessments that will total $2 Million annually in
construction on arterial and collector streets over 3 years. For FY18 (third year), we
are recommending a 63% increase in the assessment from last year. The original
plan was for an approximate 90% increase, but the new fuel tax approved by the
legislature will bring in money to lessen the increase for property owners. For the
average sized residential lot, the annual assessment would be $69.11 for the year.
The Tree Maintenance District is in need of a 15% increase to continue to implement
the Urban Forestry Management Plan. There was no increase to this assessment in
FY13-15. There was actually a small decrease to the assessment in FY15, based on
revised assessment methods adopted in July 2014. For the average sized residential
lot, the annual assessment would be $22.48 for the year.
Combined, property owners of an average sized city lot would pay $289.62 in annual
assessments. This is an increase over the previous year of $58.43, or $4.86 per month.

Utility Rates
Water & Sewer: City property owners are by and large required to use the City’s
water and sewer treatment systems. Two years ago, we updated our five year funding
models for both Water and Sewer Rates. The Commission approved a 2.5% increase
in Water rates and a 3% increase in sewer rates, for each of FY16 and FY17. We had
planned to be underway with updated rate studies for both Water & Wastewater
systems, but have delayed the project until the arrival of a Finance Director. This
year, we recommend the Commission adopt a two-year rate resolution with
Wastewater increases of 2.0% each year, and Water increases of 2.0% each year.
Stormwater: The Stormwater rates were adopted in April 2015. The new base
charges took effect in May 2015 and the variable charges and credits took effect in
December 2015, based on impervious area and existing infrastructure. We do not
recommend a rate increase this year.
In Total: A residential customer utilizing 10 hundred cubic feet (HCF) of water each
month will see an estimated combined monthly increase for these services of
$1.83/month.

City of Bozeman, MT 16 FY18 Approved Budget
Capital Improvements and Their Impact on our Operating Budget
The City annually prepares a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), most
recently adopted this past January. The items that are scheduled in that plan each
spring become the starting point for budget requests at budget development time.
This year, capital expenditures total over $26 Million. These purchases will have
varying effects on our operations this year and into the future. The largest items
with the greatest impact are mainly dealing with street infrastructure that carry
future maintenance costs.
In Conclusion
The Approved Budget was developed to continue current level operations in the
growing and changing community. A typical residential property owner will likely
see taxes and assessments increase by $81.30 for the year, or $6.78 per month.
Typical Residential Property:
Annual Increase

Street Maintenance Assessments $ 28.78
Arterial Street Assessment $ 27.57
Forestry Assessment $ 2.93
Property Taxes $ -
Water Services $ 10.12

Storm Water Services $ -
Annual Increase $ 81.30

We are thankful to the Commission, community members and staff who participated
in the many processes that resulted in this Recommended Budget.
Change can be difficult, uncomfortable and challenging. Working together, we have
consistently found innovative ways to maintain services and invest in our community
in fiscally responsible ways. We are a resilient, enterprising and creative community.
This budget is an achievable plan to provide efficient and effective services and to
achieve the Commission’s vision and priorities for the City of Bozeman.

Population: Bozeman’s population has been growing steadily since 2000. The rate of population
increase peaked in 2006 at an estimated 5.7% annual growth. The official 2010 Census puts Bozeman’s
population count below the Census estimates of 2007, 2008, 2009, an indication of how difficult it can
be to estimate the population changes of relatively fast-growing communities. A total citizenry of
39,860 for 2013 indicates a total 41.9% increase since the year 2000. Source: US Census Bureau

FINANCIAL POLICIES
___________________________________________________________
The overall goal of the City's financial policies is to establish and maintain effective management of the
City's financial resources. Formal policy statements and major objectives provide the foundation for
achieving this goal. Accordingly, this section outlines the policies used in guiding the preparation and
management of the City's overall budget and the major objectives to be accomplished. In addition, the
rationale which led to the establishment of the fiscal policy statements is also identified.
Budget Development & Administration
1. A comprehensive annual budget will be prepared for all funds expended by the City.
State law provides that "no money shall be drawn from the treasury of the municipality nor shall
any obligation for the expenditure of money be incurred except pursuant to the appropriation made by
the commission." Inclusion of all funds in the budget enables the commission, the administration, and
the public to consider all financial aspects of city government when preparing, modifying, and
monitoring the budget, rather than deal with the City's finances on a "piece meal" basis.
2. The budget will be prepared in such a manner as to facilitate its understanding by
citizens and elected officials.
One of the stated purposes of the budget is to present a picture of the City government
operations and intentions for the year to the citizens of Bozeman. Presenting a budget document that is
understandable to the citizens furthers the goal of effectively communicating local government finance
issues to both elected officials and the public.
3. Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing those basic municipal services which
provide the maximum level of services, to the most citizens, in the most cost effective
manner, with due consideration being given to all costs--economic, fiscal, and social.
Adherence to this basic philosophy provides the citizens of Bozeman assurance that its
government and elected officials are responsive to the basic needs of the citizens and that its
government is operated in an economical and efficient manner.
4. The budget will provide for adequate maintenance of capital, plant, and equipment
and for their orderly replacement.
All governments experience prosperous times as well as periods of economic decline. In periods
of economic decline, proper maintenance and replacement of capital, plant, and equipment is generally
postponed or eliminated as a first means of balancing the budget. Recognition of the need for adequate
maintenance and replacement of capital, plant, and equipment, regardless of the economic conditions,
will assist in maintaining the government's equipment and infrastructure in good operating condition.
5.The City will avoid budgetary practices that balance current expenditures at the
expense of meeting future years' expenses.
Budgetary practices such as postponing capital expenditures, accruing future years' revenues, or
rolling over short-term debt are budgetary practices which can solve short-term financial problems;
City of Bozeman, MT 25 FY18 Approved Budget
however, they can create much larger financial problems for future administrations and commissions.
Avoidance of these budgetary practices will assure citizens that current problems are not simply being
delayed to a future year.
6. The City will give highest priority in the use of one-time revenues to the funding of
capital assets or other non-recurring expenditures.
Utilizing one-time revenues to fund on-going expenditures results in incurring annual
expenditure obligations which may be unfunded in future years. Using one-time revenues to fund
capital assets or other non-recurring expenditures better enables future administrations and
commissions to cope with the financial problems when these revenue sources are discontinued, since
these types of expenditures can more easily be eliminated.
7. The City will maintain a budgetary control system to help it adhere to the established
budget.
The budget passed by the Commission establishes the legal spending limits for the City. A
budgetary control system is essential in order to insure legal compliance with the City's budget.
8. The City will exercise budgetary control (maximum spending authority) through City
Commission approval of appropriation authority for each appropriated budget unit.
Exercising budgetary control for each appropriated budget unit satisfies requirements of State
law. It also assists the commission in monitoring current year operations and acts as an early warning
mechanism when departments deviate in any substantive way from the original budget.
9. Reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts will be
prepared monthly.
The City's budget is ineffective without a system to regularly monitor actual spending and
revenue collections with those anticipated at the beginning of the year. Monthly reports comparing
actual revenues and expenditures to budget amounts provide the mechanism for the Commission and
the administration to regularly monitor compliance with the adopted budget.
Revenue Collection
1. The City will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base.
A city dependent upon a few volatile revenue sources is frequently forced to suddenly adjust tax
rates or alter expenditure levels to coincide with revenue collections. Establishment of a diversified and
stable revenue base, however, serves to protect the City from short-term fluctuations in any one major
revenue source.
2. The City will estimate revenues in a realistic and conservative manner.
Aggressive revenue estimates significantly increase the chances of budgetary shortfalls
occurring during the year--resulting in either deficit spending or required spending reductions. Realistic
and conservative revenue estimates, on the other hand, will serve to minimize the adverse impact of
revenue shortfalls and will also reduce the need for mid-year spending reductions.
City of Bozeman, MT 26 FY18 Approved Budget
3. The City will pursue an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
An aggressive policy of collecting revenues will help to ensure the City's revenue estimates are
met, all taxpayers are treated fairly and consistently, and delinquencies are kept to a minimum.
4. The City will aggressively pursue opportunities for Federal or State grant funding.
An aggressive policy of pursuing opportunities for federal or state grant funding provides
citizens assurance that the City is striving to obtain all state and federal funds to which it is entitled,
thereby reducing dependence on local taxpayers for the support of local public services.
5. User fees and charges will be used, as opposed to general taxes, when distinct
beneficiary populations or interest groups can be identified.
User fees and charges are preferable to general taxes because user charges can provide clear
demand signals which assist in determining what services to offer, their quantity, and their quality. User
charges are also more equitable, since only those who use the service must pay--thereby eliminating the
subsidy provided by nonusers to users, which is inherent in general tax financing.
6. User fees will be collected only if it is cost-effective and administratively feasible to do
so.
User fees are often times costly to administer. Prior to establishing user fees, the costs to
establish and administer the fees will be considered in order to provide assurance that the city's
collection mechanisms are being operated in an efficient manner.
Expenditures and Payments
1. On-going expenditures will be limited to levels which can be supported by current
revenues.
Utilization of reserves to fund on-going expenditures will produce a balanced budget; however,
this practice will eventually cause severe financial problems. Once reserve levels are depleted, the City
would face elimination of on-going costs in order to balance the budget. Therefore, the funding of on-
going expenditures will be limited to current revenues.
2. Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects, which primarily benefit current
residents, will be financed from current revenues.
Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects represent relatively small costs of an on-
going nature, and therefore, should be financed with current revenues rather than utilizing debt
financing. This policy also reflects the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for
the project.
3. Major capital projects, which benefit future as well as current residents, will be
financed with current revenues as well as other financing sources (e.g. debt financing).
This policy reflects the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for the
project.
City of Bozeman, MT 27 FY18 Approved Budget
4. Major capital projects, which benefit future residents, will be financed with other
financing sources (e.g. debt financing).
Major capital projects represent large expenditures of a non-recurring nature which primarily
benefit future residents. Debt financing provides a means of generating sufficient funds to pay for the
costs of major projects. Debt financing also enables the costs of the project to be supported by those
who benefit from the project, since debt service payments will be funded through charges to future
residents.
5. Construction projects and capital purchases of $10,000 or more will be included in the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); minor capital outlays of less than $10,000 will be
included in the regular operating budget.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) differentiates the financing of high cost long-lived physical
improvements from low cost "consumable" equipment items contained in the operating budget. CIP
items may be funded through debt financing or current revenues while operating budget items are
annual or routine in nature and should only be financed from current revenues.
6. Spending Policy:
The City will spend its resources in the following order. Resources will be categorized according to
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for state and local governments, with the following
general definitions:
• Restricted -- Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers
(such as grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government) through
constitutional provisions or by enabling legislation.
• Committed -- Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City
Commission; to be reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any
other purpose unless the City Commission takes action to remove or change
the constraint.
• Assigned -- Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can
be expressed by the Commission or by an official or body to which the
Commission delegates the authority. The City Commission delegates this
authority to the City Manager.
• Unassigned -- Amounts that are available for any purpose; these amounts are
reported only in the General Fund.
City of Bozeman, MT 28 FY18 Approved Budget
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, spending will occur in the following
order, for the identified fund types:
Fund Type Order of Spending
General Fund 1. Restricted
2. Committed
3. Assigned
4. Unassigned
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in the General Fund.
Special Revenue
Funds
1. Restricted
2. Committed
3. Assigned

express assignments in Special Revenue Funds.
Debt Service Funds 1. Assigned
2. Committed

The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in Debt Service Funds.
Capital Projects
Funds
1. Restricted
2. Committed
3. Assigned
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in Capital Project Funds.
Debt Administration
1. The City will limit long-term debt to capital improvements which cannot be financed
from current revenues.
Incurring long-term debt serves to obligate future taxpayers. Excess reliance on long-term debt
can cause debt levels to reach or exceed the government's ability to pay. Therefore, conscientious use
of long-term debt will provide assurance that future residents will be able service the debt obligations
left by former residents.
2. The City will repay borrowed funds, used for capital projects, within a period not to
exceed the expected useful life of the project.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a project should pay for the
project. Adherence to this policy will also help prevent the government from over-extending itself with
regard to the incurrence of future debt.
3. The City will not use long-term debt for financing current operations.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a service should pay for the
City of Bozeman, MT 29 FY18 Approved Budget
service. Utilization of long-term debt to support current operations would result in future residents
supporting services provided to current residents.
4. The City of Bozeman will adhere to a policy of full public disclosure with regard to the
issuance of debt.
Full public disclosure with regard to the issuance of debt provides assurance that the incurrence
of debt, for which the public is responsible, is based upon a genuine need and is consistent with
underwriters’ guidelines.
Reserves and Fund Balances
1. Reserves and Fund Balances will be properly designated into the following
categories:
• Nonspendable fund balance -- Amounts that are not in a spendable form (such as inventory) or are required to be maintained intact (such as the corpus of an endowment
fund).
• Restricted fund balance -- Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers
(such as grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government) through constitutional
provisions or by enabling legislation.
• Committed fund balance -- Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City
Commission; to be reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose
unless the City Commission takes action to remove or change the constraint.
• Assigned fund balance -- Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent
can be expressed by the Commission or by an official or body to which the Commission delegates the authority.
• Unassigned fund balance -- Amounts that are available for any purpose; these
amounts are reported only in the General Fund.
2. A minimum level of General Fund reserve equal to 16.67% of annual revenues will be
maintained by the City. This reserve is committed to be used for: cash flow purposes,
accrued employee payroll benefits which are not shown as a liability, unanticipated
equipment acquisition and replacement, and to enable the city to meet unexpected
expenditure demands or revenue shortfalls.
Property taxes represent the City's primary source of general fund revenue. Property taxes are
collected in November and May of each fiscal year. Since the City's fiscal year begins on July 1st, the City
must maintain an adequate cash balance in order to meet its expenditure obligations between July 1st
and the commencement of the collection of property taxes in November.
Accrued employee payroll benefits represent a bona fide obligation of the City. The City will
maintain sufficient reserves to meet its annual expenditure obligations.
The City recognizes the need to maintain adequate equipment in order to carry out required
public services. Equipment acquisition and replacement represent on-going costs of a relatively minor
nature, as compared to major capital purchases. We plan for equipment replacement within our Capital
Improvement Program. However, unforeseen equipment problems will arise. The reserve will provide
resources for the immediate, unanticipated replacement of critical equipment.
The City is subject to revenue shortfalls and unexpected expenditure demands during the fiscal
year. An undesignated General Fund reserve will be maintained to be able to offset these revenue
City of Bozeman, MT 30 FY18 Approved Budget
shortfalls or meet unexpected demands occurring during the year, without suddenly adjusting tax rates
or reducing expenditures.
Financial Reporting & Accounting
1. The City will manage and account for its financial activity in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as set forth by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
GASB is recognized as the authority with respect to governmental accounting. Managing the
City's finances in accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the rules set forth by GASB provides
Bozeman citizens assurance that their public funds are being accounted for in a proper manner.
2. The City will maintain its accounting records for general governmental operations on
a modified accrual basis, with revenues recorded when available and measurable, and
expenditures recorded when services or goods are received and liabilities incurred.
Accounting records for proprietary fund types and similar trust funds will be maintained
on an accrual basis, with all revenues recorded when earned and expenses recorded at
the time liabilities are incurred, without regard to receipt or payment of cash.
Adherence to this policy will enable the City to prepare its financial statements in accordance
with GAAP as set forth by the GASB.
3. The City of Bozeman will prepare a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The report will be
made available to the general public. The CAFR shall be prepared in accordance with the
standards established by the GFOA for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting Program
The Certificate of Achievement represents a significant accomplishment for a government and
its financial management. The program encourages governments to prepare and publish an easily
readable and understandable comprehensive annual financial report covering all funds and financial
transactions of the government during the year. The CAFR provides users with a wide variety of
information useful in evaluating the financial condition of a government. The program also encourages
continued improvement in the City's financial reporting practices.
4. The City will ensure the conduct of timely, effective, and annual audit coverage of all
financial records in compliance the local, state, and federal law.
Audits of the City's financial records provide the public assurance that its funds are being
expended in accordance with Local, State, and Federal law and in accordance with GAAP. Audits also
provide management and the Commission with suggestions for improvement in its financial operations
from independent experts in the accounting field.
5. The City of Bozeman will maintain a policy of full and open public disclosure of all
financial activity.
Full and open public disclosure of all financial activity provides the public with assurance that its
elected officials and administrators communicate fully all financial matters affecting the public.
City of Bozeman, MT 31 FY18 Approved Budget
6. The modified accrual basis of accounting and budgeting is used for the governmental
funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when
susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available. Available means collectible
within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the
current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related liability is incurred.
Employee compensated absences and principal and interest on long-term debt
expenditures are recorded when due in the current period. The accrual basis of
accounting is used for proprietary funds. Under this method, revenues are recorded
when earned and expenses are recorded when the related liability is incurred. For
budget preparation and presentation, the proprietary funds’ expenses are converted to
expenditures and follow the same budget format as the government fund types. Capital
outlays in the enterprise funds are presented as expenses for budget basis, but are
recorded as assets along with associated depreciation expense on the GAAP basis. Debt
service principal payments in the enterprise funds are accounted for as expenses for
budget purposes, but are reported as reduction of long-term debt liability on the GAAP
basis.
Recording capital outlays as expenditures and principal payments on long-term debt for budget
purposes, presents a clearer picture of the City’s financial operations, is easier to administer for cash
flow purposes, and is easier for the lay person to understand.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
___________________________________________________________________
To better understand this budget document a basic understanding of the structure, often-used terms,
and fund types is helpful.
The City’s operating expenditures are organized in to the following hierarchical categories: Activities,
Departments, Divisions, and Budget Units.
Activity: Activity represents the highest level of summarization used in the City’s financial structure.
This level is primarily used for entity-wide financial reporting and for summarization in this budget
document. Activities General Government Public Safety Public Service Public Welfare Other
Department: Department is the second level of summarization used in the City’s financial structure.
The function classification represents a grouping of related operations and programs aimed at
accomplishing a broad goal or providing a major service.
Division: Department can be further split into divisions which are usually associated with functioning
work groups that have more limited sets of work responsibilities. Their primary purpose is
organizational and budgetary accountability.
Budget Unit: Divisions may be further subdivided into budget units. A budget unit is used to
account for a specific service performed within a division in the pursuit of individual goals and
objectives. A budget unit is aimed at accomplishing a specific service or regulatory program for which a
government is responsible.
For example, to account for the expenses of constructing a new Wastewater Treatment Plant the City
uses the following financial structure:
Activity: Public Service
Department: Wastewater Plant
Division: Operations
Budget Unit: Construction

USEFUL TERMS
To better assist readers in understanding the budget document, a basic knowledge of the following
terms is useful:
A FUND is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash, and other
financial resources, together with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and changes
therein. Funds are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain
objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. Funds in the government
model are classified into three broad categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary.
The most common reason for establishing a fund is to separately account for restricted-use revenue or
to comply with State or Federal law.
An ACCOUNT is an organizational or budgetary breakdown which is found within city funds. Each
department serves a specific function as a distinct organizational unit of government within the given
fund. Its primary purpose is to facilitate organizational and budgetary accountability.
An OBJECT OF EXPENDITURE refers to specific, detailed expenditure classification. It relates to
a specific type of item purchased or service obtained. Examples of objects of expenditure include
salaries, supplies, contracted service, travel, etc.
The City’s financial operations and fund structure conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP). The funds are grouped under governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary fund types. The City’s
fund structure is comprised of the following funds, all of which are budgeted.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
General Fund: The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for
those required to be accounted for in another fund. The General Fund supports such basic services as
the Legislative Branch, Judicial Branch, General Administration, Police, Fire, Finance, Engineering,
Recreation, and Library services.
Revenue Sources: The City's General Fund is financed primarily by property taxes which provide
nearly half of the General Fund revenue. Other revenue sources include: licenses and permits,
intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, fines and forfeitures, interest on investments,
operating transfers, and miscellaneous revenues.
Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific
revenue sources (other than special assessments, expendable trusts, or for major capital projects) that
are legally restricted to expenditure for specific purposes. Special Revenue Funds support insurance
costs, retirement costs, planning functions, and other services legally restricted for specific purposes.
City of Bozeman, MT 35 FY18 Approved Budget
Revenue Sources: Special Revenue Funds are supported either through property taxes or
through grants or other restricted revenue sources. Examples of Special Revenue Funds supported by
property taxes include employee health and comprehensive insurance funds. Examples of Special
Revenue Funds supported by grants or other restricted revenue sources include Community
Development Block Grant, Housing and Urban Development, and Gas Tax Apportionment.
Debt Service Funds: Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources
for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal and interest. Debt Service Funds provide
financing for the City's two general obligation bonds—trails, open space and parks (TOPS) and library
facilities.
Revenue Sources: Debt Service Funds are financed through property taxes and interest income.
Capital Project Funds: Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources to be
used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by
proprietary funds).
Revenue Sources: Capital Project Funds are supported by special assessments, long term debt
proceeds, donations, and grants.
PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Internal Service Funds: Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or
services provided by one department to other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis. Internal
Service Funds account for the City's vehicle maintenance functions.
Revenue Sources: Internal Service Funds are supported through billings to other departments
based on the sale of goods and the services provided.
Enterprise Funds: Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises--where the intent of the governing body is
that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on
a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. Enterprise Funds account
for the City's water, waste water, solid waste, stormwater and parking services.
Revenue Sources: Enterprise Funds are financed by user charges, penalties, and interest
income.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES
Trust Funds: Trust Funds are used to account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee
capacity. These include (a) expendable trust funds, (b) permanent trust funds, and (c) pension trust
funds
Revenue Sources: Trust Funds are supported by donations and interest income.

THE BUDGET PROCESS
___________________________________________________________________
The City of Bozeman budget serves several purposes.
• For the Citizens of the City of Bozeman, it presents a picture of
the city government operations and intentions for the year.
• For the City Commission, it serves as a policy tool and as an
expression of goals and objectives.
• For City Management, it is used as an operating guide and a
control mechanism.
State statute provides the “Local Government Budget Act” in MCA 7-6-4001. This section of the law
was adopted by the 2001 Legislature to replace the “Municipal Budget Law” and other various sections
of code that related to city finances. The new law limits the amount of expenditures to approved
appropriations, requires reporting to the State after final budgets and tax levies are adopted, and
provides for a detailed preliminary and final budget adoption within the confines of the State
determined property tax assessment time-table.
The City's budget encompasses both the operating budget and the capital improvement budget. Each
budget unit includes amounts appropriated for both operating expenses and capital items. The
accompanying narrative explanation for each budget unit provides an explanation of capital items
included in the budget.
BASIS OF BUDGETING
The City’s accounts are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate entity.
The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that
comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses.
Governmental funds (the General Fund, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects Funds) use
the modified accrual basis of budgeting and accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting
period in which they become available and measurable. Expenditures are recognized when liabilities are
incurred.
Proprietary funds (Enterprise and Internal Service Funds) are budgeted on a modified accrual basis
which does not include depreciation or compensated absences. Each fund’s financial statements, which
can be found in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), are reported on the full
accrual basis. In the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in
which they are earned. Expenses are recognized in the accounting period in which they occur.

BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
In the past, the City Manager’s Recommended Budget served as the preliminary budget and is normally
adopted as such in June following six months of development and analysis by staff and the City
Commission. In 2013, we developed a revised budget calendar that will NOT have us adopting a
preliminary budget in June and a final budget in August. Instead, we will adopt a final budget in June
and only amend the budget in August if our taxable value estimates were significantly different from our
Certified Values received from the State. The Approved Budget document will be issued after Taxable
Values are received in August, and the final tax levy is set.
After submitting the City Manager's Recommended Budget to the City Commission, public work sessions
may be held by the Commissioners at which time the City Manager, Administrative Services Director,
and department staff explain the budget recommendations and underlying justification for the requests.
The Commission also reviews departmental requests which could not be funded, as an indication of
unmet needs. During or following the work sessions, the Commissioners may make adjustments to the
proposed budget. Following any adjustments to the City Manager's budget recommendation, a
tentative appropriation ordinance is prepared and a public hearing is held. The Commission may again
make adjustments to the budget following the public hearing, after which time, the Commission passes
the appropriation ordinance in final form.
Appropriations are established by budget unit. The accounting system, budgeting system, and the
budget document itself, however, break these classes into subclasses--thereby providing more detailed
information. As an example, operating supplies, gas and oil, and subscriptions are all classified as
operating expenses. The accounting and budgeting systems provide detail for these specific sub-classes.
However, appropriation control is exercised only at the budget unit level.
MCA 7-6-4030 Final budget--resolution--appropriations. (1) The governing body may
amend the preliminary budget after the public hearing and after considering any public comment.
(2) The amended budget constitutes the final budget. The final budget must be balanced so that
appropriations do not exceed the projected beginning balance plus the estimated revenue
of each fund for the fiscal year.
(3) The governing body shall adopt the final budget by resolution. The resolution must:
(a) authorize appropriations to defray the expenses or liabilities for the fiscal
year; and (b) establish legal spending limits at the level of detail in the resolution.
(4) The effective date of the resolution is July 1 of the fiscal year, even if the resolution is adopted
after that date.

PERFORMANCE BUDGETING
Beginning with the fiscal year 1998-99 budget, the City of Bozeman started the development of a
performance budget. The move to a performance budget resulted in a shift in emphasis away from
describing what will be purchased (inputs) towards describing what will be accomplished (outputs and
outcomes). That process continues today with both an organization-wide and budget-unit specific focus
on outcomes.
PRESENTATION
The text of the budget document customarily contains five sections of information for each division.
Some divisions also include highlights or accomplishments for the prior year and/or the coming year.
• The first section provides a description of the division.
• The second section describes its major objectives to be
accomplished.
• The third section provides detailed financial information.
• The fourth section identifies the division’s performance measures
for the coming budget year and the past three years.
• The fifth section lists the workload indicators for the division.
The financial information includes expenditure information for the last completed fiscal year, the
appropriated amounts for the current year, and the recommended amounts covered by the budget.
Costs are segregated into five basic classifications: salaries, wages, & benefits; operating expenses;
capital; debt service; and transfers. Appropriation control is exercised only at the budget unit level and not
at the individual object of expenditure level.
The narrative information is presented together with the financial detail to assist readers in
understanding the planned outcomes for each division, the purpose of each budget unit, and major
changes or expenditures for the coming year.
MONITORING AND REPORTING PROCESS
As the budget year proceeds, individual departments and the Finance Department have dual
responsibility for monitoring the status of each budget unit. Department staff has primary responsibility
for monitoring the status of expenditures against their budget. This responsibility includes informing
the Finance Department of any significant departures from the plans anticipated in the budget.
The Finance Department has overall responsibility for monitoring the status of all departments and
funds. This is accomplished primarily through analysis of computerized budget performance reports
which compare appropriation amounts on a line-item basis with actual expenditures throughout the
year. These reports aid department staff in controlling costs and act as an early warning system for the
Finance Department. Department staff may exercise their judgment in exceeding expenditures by
object code, as long as they do not exceed the total amount appropriated for the budget unit.
City of Bozeman, MT 39 FY18 Approved Budget
The Finance Department reviews the budget reports on a monthly basis and discusses any variances
from expected performance with the department staff. The Finance Department conducts in-depth
quarterly budget reviews of all expenditures and revenues.
Significant changes in either expenditures or revenues require a budget revision. Recommendations
are also made by the Administrative Services Director for any corrective actions believed necessary.
BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS
State statute provides a number of different ways to amend the budget. The first involves a
reallocation of existing appropriations among the line items within a specific fund. The second defines
a series of scenarios where the governing body has authority to amend the budget without a hearing for
donations, land sales, and fee-based budgets. All other increases in appropriation authority that are not
specifically permitted by statute must be approved through a public hearing process.
The Administrative Services Director is responsible for ensuring compliance with spending limitations
imposed by the budget. Accordingly, the Administrative Services Director submits a Budget Status
Report to the City Commission after three, six, nine, and twelve month periods which evaluates overall
revenues and expenditures in comparison to the budgeted amounts. In cases where it appears the
original spending authority authorized will not prove sufficient, transfers of spending authority or
additional spending authority are requested together with explanations for the requests. Public
hearings for budget amendments are held as necessary.

APPROPRIATIONS BY TYPE
___________________________________________________________________
Expenditures, often called “Appropriations,” are classified under one of six major categories: Personnel
& Benefits, Operating Expense, Capital, Debt Service, Transfers, and Other Financing Uses. The graph
below shows the relative percentage of FY18 budget expenditures for the six major categories in all
funds, combined.
In governmental agencies, salaries, wages (personnel) and benefits normally represent the largest of
these categories. However, due to the significant investment in infrastructure, cities have a much higher
percentage of the budget devoted to operating and capital costs than most other governmental
agencies.
APPROPRIATIONS BY TYPE: GENERAL FUND ONLY— Using those same classifications of
expenditure, the relative percentages of budgeted expenditures for the General Fund are shown below.
As you can see, the General Fund is comprised of a much higher percentage of Personnel & Benefit costs
compared to all funds, as a whole. The General Fund supports very little capital improvements,
compared to all funds, as a whole.
City of Bozeman, MT 47 FY18 Approved Budget
APPROPRIATIONS BY FUND
___________________________________________________________________
As shown, Enterprise Funds and the General Fund account for 64% of the total expenditures of the City.
• The General Fund is the City’s primary operating account for general government
operations.
• Enterprise funds consist of Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Parking, and Storm-water
Utility Funds. These funds operate on a self-supporting basis.
Appropriations by Fund
Special Revenue Funds, totaling 31% of appropriations, include a variety of fee supported funds
including funds supporting impact fees, building inspections, street maintenance and tree maintenance.
Community Development Block Grant monies, the City’s Gas Tax allocation, and Senior Transportation
are also included. We have added the Arterial & Collector Assessment Fund this year.
Debt Service, Internal Service, and Permanent Funds make up the remainder of the City’s
appropriations.
City of Bozeman, MT 48 FY18 Approved Budget
REVENUES BY SOURCE
___________________________________________________________________
As shown, Charges for Services and Property Taxes account for 71% of the total revenues of the City.
The majority of Charges for Services are derived from the City’s utilities (Enterprise funds) consisting of
Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Stormwater and Parking Services. Property Taxes (24%) are primarily
to the benefit of the General Fund and public debt for Libraries and Trails, Open Space & Parks.
Revenues by Source - All Funds
REVENUES BY SOURCE, GENERAL FUND ONLY— Using those same classifications of revenue
sources, the relative percentages of estimated revenues for the General Fund are shown below.
Revenues by Source - General Fund
As you can see, the General Fund is much more reliant on Property Taxes and Intergovernmental revenue
than all funds, as a whole. These two sources combine to total 77% of General Fund revenues.
City of Bozeman, MT 49 FY18 Approved Budget
LEGAL DEBT LIMIT & BOND RATINGS
___________________________________________________________________
General Obligation (G.O.) Debt Limit: The City’s legal debt limit for general obligation (G.O.)
indebtedness is established by state statute. Total general obligations may not exceed 2.5% of the City’s
total market value, as established each August by the Department of Revenue. Our most recent
valuation showed Total Market Value of $5.9 Billion, a significant increase due to the statewide property
reappraisal. We are estimating an increase of 4.0% for the coming year.
General Obligation Bond Rating: Moody’s Investor Service upgraded the City’s outstanding
General Obligation Bond rating from a “Aa3” to a “Aa2” in October 2016. Their review stated: “The Aa2
rating reflects the City's fairly large, growing tax base anchored by Montana State University
(Aa3/stable), improved wealth measures, a trend of sound financial operations and healthy reserve
levels, and a limited debt burden that is expected to increase over the near-term.”
Revenue-backed Debt: There remains no statutory cumulative limit on the amount of debt a city can
issue that is backed by the revenue streams of various operations, known as “Revenue Bonds”. The City
has been approved to borrow a total of $7.6 Million for the Sourdough Water Tank project, guaranteed
by the Water Fund.
Special District Debt: There is no statutory limit on the amount of debt a city can issue that is
backed by assessments from special improvement districts (including lighting districts) known as “SID or
SLID Bonds”. Other Special District Debt is subject to specific limitations, set forth in statute. In
December 2007, the City issued $6.27 Million in Tax Increment Urban Renewal Revenue Bonds for the
Downtown Intermodal Parking Facility. This bond issue was initially rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s.
The rating was upgraded in 2010 and reaffirmed by Standard & Poor’s to BBB+/Stable in the spring of
2015. In 2017, the city issued $1.5 Million in Tax Increment Urban Renewal Revenue Bonds for the
North East Urban Renewal District projects.

REVENUE TRENDS & ANALYSIS
___________________________________________________________________
Revenues are estimated for every fund of the City each year. This summary of revenue estimates is
supported by detailed revenue estimates for each fund, as described later in the tables titled “Revenue
& Expenditure Details”.
This section of the budget highlights major governmental and enterprise funds of the City: the General
Fund, Street Maintenance Fund, along with Water, Wastewater, Stormwater and Solid Waste
enterprises and associated impact fees. Trends of these funds and individual revenues are shown
together with estimates for the coming year. Together, these eight funds comprise over $65 Million
(69%) of the total estimated revenues of the City.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for those required to
be accounted for in another fund. Major functions supported by general fund revenues include: City
Administration, Police and Fire services, Court, Parks, Recreation, and Library. Revenue is estimated to
be $30.3 Million for the budget year.
General Fund Revenue
The changes in General Fund revenue, depicted in the graph above, reflect the following trends:
• The approved mill levy for police and firefighter staff and equipment. That levy allows
permanent increases in property tax levies, beginning in FY09.
• Property tax revenues are estimated to see an increase of 4%, based in increased
reappraisal value and no increase in our recommended tax levy in FY18.
• The Entitlement Share from the state of Montana is estimated to increase roughly 3.5% in
FY18.
City of Bozeman, MT 53 FY18 Approved Budget
STREET MAINTENANCE FUND
The Street Maintenance District Special Revenue Fund’s revenue history is shown below. Revenues, in
the form of special assessments on real property, pay for the City’s street maintenance and
reconstruction program. We are estimating a total of $5.3 Million in total revenues this fiscal year.
Street Maintenance Fund Revenue
• Beginning with FY12, we expanded the program to include major street reconstruction
projects; the first being the reconstruction of South 8th Avenue. This project required the
borrowing of approximately $1.2 Million from the State of Montana, which results in a
substantial increase in budgeted revenues from Other Sources in FY12.
• For FY13 & FY14, there were no revenues from Other Sources, but an increase in
assessments to continue to build resources for reconstruction and curb replacements.
• FY15 adopted a 6.4% rate increase for general street maintenance projects.
• FY16 budget approved increasing street assessments 10% - which included a significant
increase for pavement maintenance. This is intended to add $1 Million over 3 years for
additional construction projects.
• FY17 approved a 15% Increase to fund operations and added pavement maintenance.
• FY18 includes a 17% increase to fund operating increases and added pavement
maintenance.
WATER FUND
Shown on the graph on the following page are total water fund revenues, estimated at $12,099,248
Million for the budget year. As depicted by the graph, water fund revenues have steadily increased as
the result of both an increase in the customer base and as the result of regular rate changes.
City of Bozeman, MT 54 FY18 Approved Budget
Water Fund Revenues
• FY13 & FY14 revenues included loan proceeds of $19.5 Million to fund the reconstruction of
our Water Treatment Plant, which got underway towards the end of FY11.
• Beginning in FY15, the Public Works Administration budget was charged to the Water Fund.
This department’s administrative costs are charged out to the departments that use their
services, which is a significant increase in the Water Fund revenues.
• The FY16 & FY17 budgets incorporate an adopted rate increase of 2.5% to continue to cover
costs of the utility.
• FY18 budget includes a 2% recommended rate increase and also includes $1,750,000 in loan
proceeds to finance capital projects.
WATER IMPACT FEE FUND
The Water Impact Fee Fund’s source of revenue is water system development impact fees. The fees are
charged to development projects as they place demand for new capacity on the water treatment and
distribution systems. These fees are currently under review in FY18. Our budgets continue to be based
on a 5 year average collections.

Water Impact Fee Fund Revenues
WASTEWATER FUND
Revenues in the Wastewater Fund have, in general, been increasing over the past 10 years, and are

debt is being repaid by system users over the next 20 years.
• A two-year rate resolution of 6% increase in FY12 and 6% increase in FY13 was adopted.
• For FY14, FY15, FY16 and FY17 there is an adopted 3% increase in rates.

EXPENDITURE TRENDS & ANALYSIS
___________________________________________________________________
This section provides a historical trend analysis of the expenditures of the largest funds of the City.
Increases and decreases in fund expenditure levels is a natural occurrence. The most important point is
to understand what factors are causing fund expenditure levels to change. General Fund expenditures
tend to be more stable, due to the fact that most costs are personnel that are both predictable and
steady. In enterprise funds and construction funds, large fluctuations will occur due to the fact that
these funds are infrastructure intense and large expenditures are sporadic, depending on the projects
involved. The eight funds described below encompass $70 Million (63%) of the total expenditures for
FY18.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for those required to
be accounted for in another fund. Major functions supported by General Fund revenues include: City
Administration, Police and Fire services, Court, Parks, Recreation, and Library. Expenditures total $31.6
Million for this fiscal year.
General Fund Expenditures
The increase in expenditure levels of the General Fund can be tied to the growth trend of our
community. With this increase in property and population, there is a need for additional General Fund
services. Staffing increases to handle citizen demands bring salary and health insurance expenditure
City of Bozeman, MT 61 FY18 Approved Budget
increases. Expanding our buildings to accommodate more citizens and employees results in an increase
to building maintenance costs.
• For FY08 we decreased expenditures on 911 Dispatch services by over $700,000, due to the
assumption of this program by the county.
• Over the past six years, we have increased expenditures in Police and Fire Services.
• In FY15, the General Fund supported our last payment of $675,000 to MMIA.
• The FY17 budget included a 4 mill increase for costs of Landfill Monitoring.
• The FY18 budget includes increased capital expenditures.
STREET MAINTENANCE FUND
The Street Maintenance District Fund’s expenditure history is shown below. Expenditures pay for the
City’s street maintenance program personnel, operating costs, and equipment.
Street Maintenance Fund Expenditures
• Beginning in FY12, we expanded the program to include major street reconstruction
projects; the first being the reconstruction of South 8th Avenue.
• Expenditures in FY14 are budgeted at $3.8 Million and include $900,000 of expenditures
from our recently established Street Reconstruction and Curb Replacement monies.
• Expenditures in FY15 are budgeted at $4.3 Million and include monies for a reconstruction
project, chip sealing streets according to the Pavement Condition Survey, and Capital
Improvement vehicles/equipment to aid in the Pavement Preservation Program.
• The Mckinstry Energy project of replacing 200 City owned street lights with LED light bulbs
was added to the Street Maintenance budget for FY15. The project is funded by an Intercap
loan, to be paid back with the energy savings resulting from the project.
City of Bozeman, MT 62 FY18 Approved Budget
• The FY17 & FY18 budgets include increased amounts of pavement maintenance capital
projects, and the addition of Streets Workers, which make up a large portion of the
increased expenditures.
WATER FUND
The following chart depicts the trend in the Water Fund and shows the result of sporadic large
improvement projects undertaken in FY11-FY13.
Water Fund Expenditures
• FY12 expenditures total roughly $14.5 Million, and included spending on the first year of
construction of our new Water Treatment Facility, according to our long-rang Water Facility
Plan.
• FY12 also saw a concerted improvement in our water distribution pipe replacement
program, replacing rehabilitation projects “every-two-years” with an annual program
(doubling our efforts).
• Expenditures for FY14 fell to normal operating levels of $6 Million.
• FY15 expenditures were budgeted at $8.4 million. The Water Fund includes the Department
of Public Works beginning in FY15, so expenditures (in correlation with revenues) will
increase significantly (previously in the General Fund)
• The FY16 recommended budget includes increased debt payments for the Water Treatment
Plant loans. There is also an additional 1.0 FTE included for a Water Conservation
Technician.
• The FY16 budget included the construction of a 5.3MG water tank at Sourdough for $6.6
Million. The loan proceeds and capital expenditures are included in a separate fund.
• The FY18 budget includes expenditures of $11.9 million.

• FY18 Expenditures are approved at $1.5 Million and include the addition of Stormwater
Specialist position.

FUND BALANCES/WORKING CAPITAL TRENDS & ANALYSIS
___________________________________________________________________
There are two fund types that are used to account for the City’s operating funds. One is governmental
fund types and the other is proprietary fund types. The best measure of a governmental fund types’
financial condition is fund balance (assets minus liabilities). The best measure of a propriety fund types’
financial condition is working capital (current assets minus current liabilities).
This section provides a historical trend analysis of the fund balance and working capital balances of the
major funds of the City. Increases and decreases in a funds’ financial position is a natural occurrence.
The most important point is to understand what factors are causing a funds’ financial position to
change. General Fund balances will generally be more stable, due to the fact that most costs are
personnel that are both predictable and steady. In enterprise funds, large fluctuations will occur due to
the fact that these funds are infrastructure intense and large expenditures are sporadic.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for those required to
be accounted for in another fund. Major functions supported by General Fund revenues include: City
Administration, Police and Fire services, Court, Parks, Recreation, and Library.
The graph below shows that the city has maintained its General Fund balance between $3 and $7.3
Million over the past ten years.
General Fund - Fund Balance
• FY09 saw an increase due, in part, to unfinished capital projects (Swim Center AV System
and Fire Department equipment purchases) that were carried over into the FY10 year and
spent.
City of Bozeman, MT 68 FY18 Approved Budget
• The FY12 budget year ended with a fund balance level of over $7 Million, due to vacancy
savings in the Police Department, and other departmental budget savings.
• The FY13 ended with over $7 Million in fund balance, of which $700,000 was earmarked for
payment of the City’s second payment to the MMIA for the settlement of the declaratory
action & over $1 Million earmarked for a tax decrease in FY14
• The FY18 Approved Budget is estimated to end the fiscal year with a fund balance of
$5,550,251, roughly $490,000 above minimum reserve levels.
The next graph shows the General Fund’s fund balance in relation to the annual operating revenue of
the fund. In May 2011, the City adopted GFOA’s Best Practice for Unreserved Fund Balance in the
General Fund into its Budget Administration Ordinance, which requires a 16.7% balance. If that is not
achieved, the Commission must hold a separate hearing to specifically address why the balance has not
been met and what will be done going forward.
The reserve minimum will be exceeded by approximately $490,000 with an estimated 18.3% reserve.
Unreserved General Fund Balance as a %
There is considerable overlap between the City’s “backward looking” CAFR (Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report) and “forward looking” annual budget. During the budget process, before a fiscal year
is completed, we are forced to estimate how much both the current (FY17) and future (FY18) reserve
amounts will be.
WATER FUND
The graph below depicts the working capital balance of the City’s Water Fund. This graph typifies the
significant fluctuations that result from large infrastructure expenditures.
City of Bozeman, MT 69 FY18 Approved Budget
Water Fund - Working Capital
We accumulated, and are now utilizing, dollars for capital projects. FY18 budget projected an ending
balance of $10.2 Million.
WASTEWATER FUND
The FY09 spending on plant construction brings the working capital balance to its lowest level in ten
years. This is to be expected, considering that the treatment plant project represents the most
substantial investment in the City’s Wastewater Facility in years. FY13 saw the end of construction and
the opening of the new facility. The FY18 ending working capital balance is projected to be $3.0 Million.

City of Bozeman, MT 70 FY18 Approved Budget
SOLID WASTE FUND
The graph of the Solid Waste Fund working capital begins with a healthy balance accumulated to plan
for the eventual closure of the landfill and to provide for an alternative for solid waste disposal.
Solid Waste Fund - Working Capital
• The FY09 budget anticipated closing and capping the Landfill and beginning a curbside
recycling program in addition to the current garbage collection services. The new recycling
program required investments in a new recycling truck and bins for customers which were
funded in FY08.
• FY10 shows the results of utilizing approximately $370,000 for the addition of office and
vehicle storage space to meet the long term needs of the division.
• The increased revenue from 35 gallon totes and expanding customer base, combined with a
reduction in expenditures will see a slight increase in the FY15 ending working capital -
$789,000.
• A negative ending working capital in FY16 was expected, due to the timing of capital
purchases. However, owing to better than expected revenues in FY15, the negative balance
was not realized.
• FY18 ending working capital balance is estimated to be $640,000.
STORMWATER FUND
The Stormwater utility was created in FY13. Being a newer utility, the working capital balance took a
number of years to accumulate and grow. With the implementation of the “Bronze Level of Service”
model in May 2015, part of the accumulated working capital will be used to assist in implementing the
infrastructure improvements.
City of Bozeman, MT 71 FY18 Approved Budget
Stormwater Fund - Working Capital
• The Bronze plan was initially projected to be implemented in January 2015. However,
due to timing issues, the plan was delayed. Without the revenue from new rates, capital
projects and the hiring of additional staff members was delayed as well.
• The working capital remaining at the end of FY15 will be used to implement the capital
projects in FY16.
• FY16 will be the first full year of the new rate model for Stormwater.
• FY18 estimates an ending working capital balance of $500,000.

Department:FIRE
Activity:Public Safety
Program Description:
The Fire Department budget is developed and administered to provide fire, rescue, hazardous materials, and emergency medical
services throughout Bozeman while ensuring that firefighters are equipped and trained to meet nationally recognized minimum
consensus standards. Additionally the budget provides resources necessary for the department to maintain a fire prevention
program that is comprised of fire and life safety inspection, community outreach, school programs, rental safety initiatives,
emergency preparedness, and public education.
Major Objectives:
Anticipated for FY 18: The primary objective of the department for the next fiscal year is to continue to build a shared vision for the
future of the fire department that allows us to provide the highest level of service to the citizens of our community. A big piece of
this vision will be crafted from the results of the Fire Protection Master Plan update and completion of an upcoming audit by the
Insurance Service Office (ISO). Having an adopted strategic plan is a part of the accreditation process via the Center for Public Safety
Excellence (CPSE). • An additional piece of the Master Plan update is the analysis of current and future fire station locations. With
the continued growth in the community there is a potential need for a fourth fire station in the immediate future. While planning for
a fourth fire station is necessary, the department also has existing issues that need to be addressed with current fire stations.
Addressing the needs of current fire stations will be just as important as building plans for additional stations moving forward. •
Focusing on employee development will continue to be a key in FY-18 as we work towards all of our firefighters obtaining nationally
recognized certifications as required by both ISO and the accreditation process to help build the knowledge and experience base of
our people. The department also plans to continue our pursuit of professional credentials for individual members, a process which is
governed by the CPSE. • Lastly the department will be completing two projects that are being funded out of the fire department
capital improvement budget. The capital improvement budget allows for planning of major equipment replacement projects. The
first project is a replacement of the current radio communications system. This project is being done in conjunction with the police
department and will move the both public safety agencies from a VHF frequency to an 800 frequency. The second project is the
replacement of the department’s Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The current SCBAs have reached the end of their
service life and will be replaced during FY-18.
Budget Highlights:
Implementation of the Fire Protection Master Plan / Pursuit of Accreditation via the Center for Public Safety Excellence Commission
on Fire Accreditation International. Replacement of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA's).
Accomplishments:
• A record number of calls, 4316, were answered during 2016 which was just over a 10% increase from calendar year 2015. This
increase in service demand is not expected to flatten out or decrease anytime in the near future, rather the department expects to
see another 10% or larger increase in service demands in 2017. • All members of the department now hold a nationally recognized
Firefighter I and Firefighter II level certification which is a 70% increase from 2015. • The department also began the process of
moving members through the Center for Public Safety Excellence Commission on Professional Credentialing process. To date the
department now has 10 credentialed members with several more in the works for 2017.• The department successfully implemented
two new records management system programs in 2016, one that tracks internal records and one that tracks external inspections
and work completed by licensed contractors. These improvements will provide both improved record keeping and data analysis
moving forward. • The department also successfully awarded a contract for updating of the Fire Protection Master Plan which is
scheduled to be completed in May 2017. • The department has continued to engage in community risk reduction efforts, including
visits to all of the public schools, attendance at neighborhood meetings, informational booths at the Farmer’s Market and Music on
Main, and the Return of Fire in the Park, the department has re-engaged in community education and risk reduction efforts,
something that will continue to grow and expand in years to come.

Department:PARKING
Activity:Public Safety
Program Description:
Effective July 1, 2013 the Parking Enterprise Fund, under the authority of the Bozeman Parking Commission (BPC), now consists of
the entire city of Bozeman and not just the Downtown Parking, the MSU Residential Parking District, and the High School Residential
Parking District. Additional jurisdiction of the BPC includes Bridger Park Downtown, and the City’s 435-space parking garage. The
Assistant City Manager directly supervises the administrative responsibilities of the City’s parking manager, who, in turn, oversees
the Parking Enforcement staff (4.0 FTE). The Parking Clerk is not supervised or evaluated by the Parking Manager, but rather by the
City Treasurer. There are four primary sources of revenue: citations, permits for the MSU and high school residential districts,
monthly leases in surface lots and Bridger Park Downtown’s daily and monthly incomes. Parking expenses include wages for the
parking manager, parking clerk, and enforcement staff; maintenance and utilities of surface lots and Bridger Park Downtown;
citation notifications; vehicle expenses and seasonal snow removal.
Major Objectives:
MISSION: The Bozeman Parking Commission is responsible for managing and regulating public parking in its districts to best serve the
needs of its customers, businesses, residents, employees, and visitors. GOALS: • Improve and maintain public parking assets to best
serve the needs of the public. • Seek to acquire additional public parking as needed. • Make the parking operations fiscally sound
and self-sufficient. • Provide consistent parking enforcement and educate public whenever possible to minimize parking conflicts. •

Activity:Public Service
Program Description:
GOAL: The goal of the street maintenance division is to help provide for a network of safe roadways for the traveling public and
access to desired destinations such as emergency services, schools, employment, shopping, community services, or other facilities in
a quick, convenient, safe and comfortable manner while minimizing harmful effects on the environment. STREET MAINTENANCE
FUND: The street maintenance district division accounts for the expenditure of special assessments on property in the City for the
repair and upkeep of the City's streets. Section 7-12-4401 MCA authorizes the City to create street maintenance districts for the
purpose of maintaining its streets, alleys, and other public places. The maintenance districts were first created during fiscal year
1990-91. Assessments are levied on each piece of property within the City limits and are recorded on the property owners SID
notices annually. Collection takes place in November and May and provide the revenues for the street maintenance district program.
Any unexpended balances are available for reappropriation next fiscal year. The costs incurred in maintaining streets, alleys, and
other public places within the maintenance district are assessed against each property within the district based on the assessable
area of the property as a percentage of the entire assessable area of the district, exclusive of streets, avenues, alleys, and public
places. GAS TAX FUND: The gas tax division accounts for the expenditure of the City's share of state collected gas tax funds allocated
to the City by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). Section 15-70-101 MCA provides that MDT shall allocate gas tax
revenues to cities, towns, and counties. One-half of the City's allocation is based on population and one-half is based on street and
alley mileage. The funds may be used only for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and repair of streets and alleys. The funds
may not be used for equipment purchases.
Major Objectives:
• Implement an efficient pavement management plan, in turn creating yearly maintenance programs for failing street infrastructure.
• Utilize pavement condition assessment for planning and scheduling our repairs from potholes to complete reconstruction •
Maintain streets and alley right-of-ways to allow traffic to move in a safe and prudent manner. • Improve the quality of summer and
winter street maintenance work and communicate to the citizens so that they may be better informed and plan for it. • Continued
use of alternative fuels when available and affordable such as biodiesel and ethanol in our fleet. • Institute a City-wide curb
replacement program with assistance from the Engineering Dept. • Expand our cooperative efforts with the County Road
Department and MDT.

Department:STORM WATER
Activity:Public Service
Program Description:
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) are increasingly
requiring cities across the country to mitigate the impact of urban stormwater runoff through more stringent discharge permit
regulations, court order consent decrees, and penalties. In addition, cities are dealing with old and degraded stormwater
infrastructure that has received minor attention in the past, resulting in a significant need for capital investment. Fortunately, in
2015 the City Commission proactively directed staff to develop a comprehensive Stormwater Division to address local infrastructure,
programmatic, and environmental non-compliance deficiencies, including a new rate model and implementation of an enhanced
level-of-service. Since that time, Staff has allocated collected revenue to hire personnel, purchase equipment, establish level of
service goals, and build workflows capable of meeting current and future City needs. The Stormwater Divisions has three primary
objectives: (1) Manage stormwater infrastructure through maintenance, improvement, and repair activities to ensure the adequate
control and conveyance of urban stormwater runoff, reducing the City’s liability associated with flooding, (2) Protect and improve
waterway health through educational initiatives, enforcement, and treatment infrastructure projects to safeguard the public,
environment, and local waterways from pollution originating from the City’s urban landscape, active construction sites, municipal
operations, and illicit discharge events, and (3) Comply with MDEQ and USEPA environmental regulations through workflow
development and strategic resource allocation to reduce the City’s probability of enforcement penalties due to insufficient pollutant
control programs and reduction measures.
Major Objectives:
(1) Maintain 20% of the City’s infrastructure network, including manholes, inlets, and underground pipes. (2) Inspect 20% or 89 of the
City’s active construction sites. (3) Complete 100% of the Division’s planned capital projects, totaling $650,000 of investment, seven
individual projects, and treatment of 332 urban acres. (4) Collect and dispose of 173 tons of sediment through the operation of the
Division that would have otherwise dumped into local waterways. (5) Inspect 20% or 90 HOA-owned stormwater ponds. (6) Respond
and resolve 100% of reported pollution events (19 in 2016). (7) Develop a Stormwater Quality Sampling and Analysis Program that is
compliant with stormwater discharge permit regulations and capable of determining the effectiveness of the Division’s infrastructure
investments, programs, and planning efforts.

Department:WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY
Activity:Public Service
Program Description:
The Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) budget accounts for the costs associated with the treatment of the City’s domestic,
commercial, and industrial wastewater. The WRF is an award-winning plant that serves to protect and enhance the water quality of
the East Gallatin River. PURPOSE: Ensure strict environmental compliance by discharging thoroughly treated water meeting or
surpassing all state and federal environmental standards. Through its beneficial reuse program, the WRF also maintains compliance
with EPA Part 503 Bio-solids regulations. All plant bio-solids are thoroughly digested and then dewatered with a screw press. The
screw press cake is trucked to the county landfill where it is composted for top soil for use at the landfill. The WRF is now at 100%
completion of a significant plant expansion and technology upgrade that will meet the growing demand for waste water services in
our community. This plant enhancement has also enabled the facility to begin removing nitrogen and phosphorus compounds as
well as conventional pollutants.
Major Objectives:
• Protect and enhance the water quality of the East Gallatin River. • Consistently achieve compliance with all aspects of the city’s
Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) permit administered by the Montana Department of Environmental
Quality. • Maintain the mechanical reliability of the water reclamation facility to ensure uninterrupted operations. • Optimize the
operational performance of each treatment process and maximize removal efficiency. • Comply with all EPA 503 Bio-solids land
application requirements and regulations. • Minimize unpleasant odors.
Budget Highlights:
• CIP item WW39 - Sandblast & paint old clarifier drives - $90,000; • CIP item WW45 - Final clarifier launder covers - $40,000; • CIP
item WW27 - Watershed Study & Stream Modeling - $60,000; Refuse Disposal - $114,000; CIP item WW45 - Final and Secondary
clarifier Launder Covers - $200,000; CIP item WW49 - Roll-off Storage Building Construction & Possible Screw Press Enclosure -
$600,000; CIP item WW71 - WRF Facility Master Plan update - $250,000; CIP item WW53 – Positive Displacement Lobe Pumps -
$50,000; CIP item WW66 – Odor Control for Old Pretreatment Building - $40,000.
Accomplishments:
Anticipated for FY18: Our staff will continue to work to optimize overall plant performance and retrofit some of the small
construction details that were left unfinished or do not perform as expected. Get the mounting platforms repaired and mixers in
Digesters #1 & 2 replaced. Have Secondary Clarifiers #1 & 2 sandblasted and painted. Get launder covers installed and weirs and
baffles replaced on Secondary Clarifiers #1, 2 and 3. Replace Wasting Pumps. Add odor control for the Old Pretreatment Building
into the odor control system for pretreatment. Extract more volatile fatty acids from the UFAT system. Get facility update plan done.

Program Description:
The Parks budget unit accounts for the costs of operating, developing, and maintaining City parks and other City property. Section 7-
16-4103 MCA authorizes the City to establish parks and playgrounds and provides for methods of financing. The Division develops,
maintains, and cares for: park buildings and restrooms; playground equipment; picnic facilities; sports fields; trail systems; natural
areas; skating rinks; tennis courts; swimming/boating ponds; and other related equipment and facilities. The Parks Division, along
with the Cemetery Division, is responsible for snow removal on the majority of public sidewalks, adjoining parks, and street rights-of-
way designated as the City’s responsibility. The Street Division is no longer assisting in sidewalk snow removal.

community gathering areas, and playground equipment. • Provide expanded maintenance to restrooms, litter control, pet waste
disposal, turf care, and playground equipment. • Improve, maintain, and expand the trail system. • Oversee and coordinate
volunteer, grant funded, and neighborhood park improvement projects. • Continued implementation of the $15 Million Trails, Open
Space, and Parks (TOP) Bond. • Continue to upgrade park signage for uniformity and less maintenance.
Budget Highlights:
*Incremental increases within the operational budget are attributable to: Extensive repair of the irrigation system at Enterprise Park,
previously maintained by the HOA (deferred maintenance). Increase in linear footage to the snow plowing routes, which included
North side of Durston adjacent to Adam Bronken sports complex. CIP items: GF254 -25th street from Oak to Tschache. GF084-
