Reports:
There were no representatives from Big Sky EDA.
Monica addressed the group regarding issues that were brought up at the last meeting,
specifically the design standards to be used in the City. She suggested a website of
cityofbozeman.com and click on Commercial Development, Land Use Regulation and
Design Standards. They have developed some programs that we might utilize.
Board discussion/action:
There was a discussion of potential projects to utilize funding. One suggestion was
removal of the potential hazardous building on the South Side of Main Street near the
elevator. Marcia noted that she has encountered flying metal from the root as well as it
being used as the local pigeon breeding ground. It was stated that the land belongs to the
railroad, and the lease is currently held by the people who leased the elevator. There was
some concern that they might not be current on the lease. It was asked that Heidi Jensen
look into the matter and contact the railroad as to what can be done to eliminate the
building or secure the metal roof.
Judy read a letter submitted by Richard Klose, Sr. regarding funding for lighting of the
flag in the Laurel .Dodgers ball field. The American Legion requested $2,500.00 for the
project. It was agreed that this project does not fit the guidelines for LURA funding.
There were no applications for facade or technical assistance.
There being no further action, meeting was adjourned.
Next meeting July 1, 2013

Acting Secretary
