Dart asked about the "thefts, all other" statistic. Sgt. Zuhoski explained those numbers.

presentation. A written report was distributed, and a copy is attached to these minutes.

summaries, and man-hours. A total of 8,001 man-hours were logged, which averages out to 228.6
hours per person for the 35-member department.
The floor was then opened up for questions. Alderman Oakes stated that there were a lot of man-
hours in July. Mr. Colley explained that July was the highest month and had the greatest number of
calls.
Alderman Olson asked what are the duties of the administrative assistant position. Mr. Bamhart
stated that he writes up reports~ makes phone calls, and does various other tasks on behalf of Fire

representative.

suspected, but upon arrival, there is no fire. The personnel per call figure reflects whoever shows
up, but all 35 firemen are paged for every fire call.

tight budgets, and teamwork between all departments is appreciated·

He was told that the ladder truck was sent, and the City of Columbus Paid for the fuel. Mayor
Johnson explained that the fire department has mutUal aid agreements, and Mr. Bamhart named
Billings, Cenex Refinery, and Park City as participants in said agreements, so the Columbus fire
needed the mayor's permission to assist.

fire department is the most effective and most efficient department in the City and is copied by other
fire departments within the state.

Council Minutes of January 2 l, 2003
Under discussion, the Mayor stated that the reason he asked to have this item separated was to

Dorsey & Whitney. The Mayor then reviewed the revisions, one by one.

containers were repositioned in the alley. Alderman Van Roekel thanked the department for their
cooperation.
Alderman Olson asked for discussion regarding scheduling a council workshop for next week.
Mayor Johnson will be out of town. Alderman Mears asked if there were any pressing issues, which
there are none at this time. There will be no department head meeting next week either. Mayor
Johnson stated that there will be fewer department head meetings, and they will follow a different
format. After discussion, it was decided that no council workshop was necessary.
Alderman Dart told the council that representatives from the Eagles approached him regarding the
bus depot location issue. It is his understanding that there has been discussion between the Eagles,
Public Works, and the State Department of TransPortation about having the buses park across the
street rather than where they park now. Alderman Mace told the group that the Public Works
Committee has discussed the issue, and the Greyhound people are aware of the issue, as well as the
DOT. There is some concern as to whether the asphalt across the street can hold up where the buses
would park, and there is a request for a crosswalk in the middle of the block. Communications will
continue with ail entities involved.
Alderman Poehls asked for the progress regarding the crosswalk on 5th Avenue and Main Street.
Apparently the State turned down the request for a crosswalk across the highway at 5th Avenue.

regarding the study of the reconstruction of the 5th Avenue Railroad Crossing scheduled for
Thursday, January 23ra, at 7:00 p:m. in the Council Chambers.

Civil Legal Services Agreement, seconded by Alderman Mears. Motion carried 8 - 0.
Mayor Johnson then informed the council that a resolution regarding his absence has been
distributed this evening. This resolution is necessary, but since it was not ready for the agenda, it
requires a unanimous vote to be placed on the agenda.
Motion by Alderman Olson to place on the agenda Resolution No. R03-!3, A Resolution
Establishing Procedure for the Mayor's Absence frOm the City of Laurel, seconded by
Alderman Poehls. Motion carried 8 - 0.

Procedure for the Mayor's Absence from the City of Laurel, seconded by Alderman Oakes.
Motion carried 8 - 0.

important issue to be used in the future as well. It leaves a clear distinction and a clear pathway of
authority during his absence. Discussion followed regarding the differences between this action and
the absence of a councilman.

Laurel City Council
115 West First Street
Laurel, MT 59044
Dear Mayor Johnson and City Council Members:
I will not be attending the January 21, 2003 meeting for the public hearing on the
Laurel Municipal Sign Code so I am requesting that this letter be read at that time. Please
note that Mayor Johnson took the time to personally discuss several items of concern with
me on the Entryway Zon'mg Ordinance and I appreciate his willingness to do that. He
assured me that nothing in that ordinance would cost our properly anything now or in the
future except in the case of total reconstruction, such as a fire completely destroying our
building. If that is not correct or I misunderstood anything in our discussion, I need to be
contacted for clarification. It is still my opinion that not all of this new ordinance is in the
best interest of our community and may prove to be prohihitive to new business in the
future.
While I have read the proposed sign ordinance several times and tried to ask the right
questions, I am still unsure about what expenses (il?any) our properly may incur now or in
the next five to seven years should it be adopted. As I stated at previous public hearings,
our property signage was recently changed at great expense (approximately $20,000 for
two signs) and expenditures like that are extremely difficult for small businesses to absorb.
When Cal Cumin and I spoke several months ago, I understood him to say that none of
this affected us since our signs are existing "on-premise" signs. Again, I would appreciate
clarification if this is not correct as I'm not completely sure if our signs are conforming or
non-conforming under this proposed ordinance.
Specifically, I would like to voice my opposition to Signs Prohibited on page 4 and
Common Signage Plan on page 7 beginning with color scheme, letter or graphic style,
etc. I understand that miscellaneous portable signs are not as appealing as permanent
signs but they DO draw customers. As consumers, most of us have to admit that we pay
attention to this kind of advertising since it usually promotes a special price or service not
always available. Under the Common Signage Plan it should be noted that new
franchisees desiring to invest in Laurel may decide not to if their company logo does not
comply with Laurel's sign ordinance. Companies spend millions of dollars designing logos
that appeal to their customers. Ifa business buys a 15anchise that has a recognized and
successful logo, why would they invest in our community if we're going to legislate that
they alter the signage that's proven to draw customers? In fact, most franchises insist that
the logos are not changed in any way when their contracts are signed.

1 am respectfully requesting that you vote "No" on this sign ordinance since it appears
to me to be over-restrictive, costly and vague. If, in fact, this legislative body feels there
does need to be an ordinance, I am suggesting that this go back to committee for review
and that committee members contact those of us this ordinance affects for input. It's
evident that this mayor and city council face many time-consuming and important
decisions and I realize what I am proposing is another long and involved process.
My participation in the city government process has been limited to the Sexually
Oriented Business Ordinance, the Entryway Zoning Ordinance and now this sign
ordinance. There's much I don't know or understand, but I have to admit to being
disappointed at public hearings when there was no dialogue between those of us
presenting our views and members of the city council. It's now my understanding that
public hearings are not really where items are discussed...that would be in committee. My
recommendation, then, would be that committee members contact parties directly affected
by proposed legislation so that there can be open communication and understanding.
Thank you for your consideration of my requests and suggestions.
Sincerely,
Joyce Bratland

Reference: Year-End Report for 2002
The year started by adding two new employees to the roster at the
Police Department. On January 7, 2002 Dustin Black was welcomed
aboard, and on January 14, 2002 Erin Popp was welcomed aboard. Officer
Black and Officer Popp have proven themselves to be very good officers.
At the end of August Officer Hatton Staried his second school yea' on
the run. The SRO program has been working very well for the School
District and the Police Department. I am very enthusiastic about the program
and would like to see it grow by assigning a SRO to the middle school. Most
of Officer Hatton's time is spent at the High School but he has f'ound that
there is a big need to have an officer assigned to the Middle School.
During the year 2002 we found the true me&ning of Community
partnership when Steve Solberg, owner of Laurel Ford, handed fine Police
Department the keys to a 2003 Taurus car so the SRO would have a car to
ch'ire. We also saw the ladies fi-om the Laurel American Legion Auxiluary
donate $200.00 ibr the Police Motorcycle equipment and $100.00 for the
Police Rese~we department equipment. Barry Usher, owner of Beartooth
Harley-Davidson will be leasing the Police Depm'tment a new Police
motorcycle sometime in May 2003. Another businessman in town, Richard
Barnhardt owner of the Bargaln Center, will be donating the leather
equipment for the motorcycle officer.
The Laurel Police Resen, e Unit is an important component of the
Police Department. urmg the 2002 year we had 11 Reserve Officers.
D ' '
During that period they logged 1,845.5 horn's of work to assist tehe fulltime
staff. The Reserve School commenced in the fall and is nearly completed a.t
this time. All Reserve Officers are required to work 8 hours per month
The begilming of the year brought finalization to revisions of the
Police and Procedure manual. This was sent to the Insurance Authority and
is awaiting approval fi-om the City Council. There are items where ne;v
policies are being drafted and will sent for approval and added to the
lnanual.
Our Communication Center handled 8806 calls for service in 2002.
This is an increase of 600 calls from the previous year. Our dispatch center
is staffed with 4 full time dispatchers and 2 part time We m'e a 24 hour
seven day a week operation.
Respectfully,
'c k-~
