December 31, 2020.
There was no Council discussion.
Executive Review
• Resolution—Abolish Judge's wage matrix
Emelie stated that the Judge came before the Budget/Finance Committee to request an increase in her
wage. In previous years the CAO, the Mayor, and the City Attorney worked to establish a wage
matrix. In meeting with the Budget/Finance Committee the Judge stated she was not satisfied with the
wage increase on the wage matrix. There was discussion regarding what the wage would be, should
someone run against the Judge and win, with no prior experience. Budget/Finance Committee decided
to establish the Judges wage at its current rate and do away with the wage matrix and revert back to
having the Judge come before the Council to request a wage increase.
Judge Jean Kerr stated that she has asked for consideration of the increase included on the wage
increase. The matrix, which was established in 2013, gave the Judge a 12 cent per hour wage increase
each year. She first requested to come before Council at a Workshop to discuss what the current wage
matrix is and if the Council would consider addressing the yearly increase. She was told the proper
avenue was to meet with Budget/Finance Committee first. In meeting with the Budget/Finance
Committee she learned there was a second matrix created with a $1000 dollar stipend the year she
was elected. The current matrix allows a $500 stipend the year she was elected. The Budget/Finance
Committee stated that she had input during the process to establish the wage matrix. The Judge
pointed out that had she had input she would have chosen the $1000 stipend matrix. The Judge
figured if she had received increases like given in the past she would be making $6000 more than she
currently does. The first time she attended Budget/Finance Committee she ran out of time to present
her case as Council was starting. The second time she was on the agenda she was handed a letter, see
attached, and the meeting was adjourned. The Judge read from Laurel Municipal Code 2.12.110
Council Workshop Minutes of December 12,2017
which states A. The salary and compensation of an officer may not be diminished during his term of
office. B. Salaries of judges shall not be diminished during terms of office, see Mont. Const., Art. VII,
S7. (Prior code § 2.04.120). The Judge stated that she felt any changes to the wage matrix needed to
be completed prior to her running for office. The Judge was told that elected officials do not get wage
increases, she gave various examples over the years of the increase elected officials have received.
For example, Resolution No. R10-02 states that Council Members will receive a 2% increase for
Fiscal Year 2009-2010. She stated the Mayor's wage has remained at $10,600 since the change in
City government. She stated last year she received a 12 cent per hour increase while non-union
employees received a 60 cent per hour increase. The letter given to the Judge referred to using the
proper procedure to request a wage increase. She was unable to find a physical copy of the proper
procedure. She asked that a clarified procedure be in writing, instructing the proper way to request a
wage increase. The letter also mentioned that the Court currently has over$400,000 on the books. The
Judge explained that there are many reasons why a fine is unpaid, such as, time pay,jail pay, and fine
not paid. If a fine is unpaid the offender's driver's license is revoked and a warrant is issued. The
Judge stated the Court has 10 years to write the debt off of their books. The Judge also explained that
House Bill 33 will require the victim is paid first, then the state surcharges, then the City gets paid.
Before the victim and the Court split the funds as they came in. The Judge stated that it is unfair to tie
the debt held on the Court books to her compensation.
Sam stated he wrote this resolution at the request of the Budget/Finance Committee. He was under the
understanding that in 2015 the problem was solved. The wage matrix gave a mandatory raise each
year with a bonus in election years. The Council had requested a procedure be written to address the
yearly request for a wage increase from the elected Judge. Sam stated that he had done research on
how to best accomplish this. The resolution before the Council allows for the Judge to come to the
Council every four years to ask for a wage increase. He stated that there is no reduction of wage listed
in the resolution but that the Judges wage be frozen for the next four years as the matrix would be
abolished. Sam clarified that the $500 is not to cover the Judges filing fees but is just a bonus on
election years. Sam believed the CAO's intention was for the Court to act like any other department
and submit wage increases via their budget yearly. He also clarified that the matrix was designed so a
newly elected Judge with no experience does not start at the same salary as the previous Judge. By
passing this resolution a newly elected Judge would immediately take the current salary rate. The
Council's intention was to set wage with experience. Sam concluded that the Council can take the
matrix away via this resolution, however, he does not advise to do this.
Tom clarified for Council that the Judge is on year 21 of the matrix.
Emelie clarified the statement in the memo regarding procedure was in reference to putting the raise
with in the budget. Budget/Finance was getting requests beyond the matrix and budget.
Budget/Finance decided the best option was the freeze the wage and get the Judge to understand how
her wage is associated with the budget process.
The Judge responded that she had always thought it to be fair to have a base pay with longevity, non-
union raises, and insurance. She stated that she had written in her raise into her budget, but that her
budget is typed up by someone else. She responded to the comment that she is never satisfied, but
stated that she just wants her wage to be fair. She reminded Council that this resolution needs to wait
four years as freezing her wage and not allowing her yearly increase would be against LMC.
2
Council Workshop Minutes of December 12,2017
Sam responded to the Judge's comment and agreed that she is in the middle of the matrix that does
increase regardless. Her wages would diminished if her wages were frozen. If this resolution is passed
the Judge would need to continue with her current rate of increase.
Bruce reminded Council that the Judge does have 21 years of experience and that the matrix does
record that. The process of budget submission portion had been discussed at the meeting and has been
attempted to be clarified. He reminded the Judge that sometimes life is not fair. He agreed this
resolution is taking a step backwards and not a good use of the City Attorney's time.
Scott clarified that the employee who had a 60 cent raise will receive an additional $5,000 over the
next four years, while the City Judge will only receive approximately $1,200. He reminded Council
that the Court Clerks are on the cusp of surpassing the Judge's wage.
The Judge responded that the Court Clerks have longevity and an increase. She also mentioned that
Department Heads make significantly more than those who work under them. She agreed the matrix is
fine, but at an unfair rate.
Tom stated that he is under the impression that the Judge does not work a fu1140 hours a week.
The Judge responded that according to the Attorney General the Judge is on call 24/7. She does not
always preform work within City Hall, for example going to the jail when video conferencing is
down.
Chuck questioned the Judge what her salary was the first year she was elected. He questioned what
experience she had.
The Judge responded that she does not remember what her salary was when she started and that she
had a teaching degree with no experience.
Chuck state that he, as a tax payer, would be upset if someone ran for City Judge, with no experience,
and received a $43,000 per year salary. The City is not in the position to pay what Judge Carter or
Hernandez are. He also reminded the Judge that she is not mandated to work 40 hours. She has chosen
to, the City has not demanded it.
The Judge asked for a base wage to be set with the non-union yearly wage increase with longevity.
She stated she is not asking for what Judge Carter or Hernandez are paid. She stated that even part
time employees are getting longevity and benefits.
Emelie asked for clarification on what will the Judge be happy with, a matrix or to continually
negotiate for a higher wage beyond the matrix.
The Judge responded that her preference is a base wage with the non-union yearly wage increase with
longevity and health insurance. She reminded Council that this resolution cannot pass as it will be a
wage decrease and needed to be decided prior to any filing fees being paid. She reminded Council that
to decrease her wage while during term is against the Montana Constitution.
Chuck questioned if the Judge would have run for re-election had the wage matrix been pulled prior
to her filing her fees for re-election.
The Judge responded that she did not know if she would have ran.

Council Workshop Minutes of December 12,2017
Chuck questioned if she would be satisfied to receive only the non-union year wage increase with no
longevity. He stated that the Judge is obviously not satisfied as she keeps bringing this back to
Council.
Tom asked that Council consider the item that is on tonight's agenda and that any other discussion
needs to be for future discussion.
• Discussion— How the Council meeting will run on January 2"d.
The Mayor described how the beginning of January 2nd meeting will go. Mayor Mace will swear in
Judge Kerr. Judge Kerr will swear in all new Council Members. He allowed for Sam to describe what
the City is doing to prepare for the Mayor's swearing in.
Sam stated that he looked at the minutes from the last time the City swore in a Mayor. Former Mayor
Olsen opened the meeting, led the pledge, and swore in Current Mayor Mace. Mayor Mace then
swore in Judge Kerr and Council Members then conducted the remainder of the meeting. The City has
advertised for the Mayor vacancy. At this point the city is putting in place a contingency plan. The
Mayor-Elect has been advised what the City intended to do. The advertisement lists the qualification
to hold the Mayor position. Those interested in the vacant position need to submit a letter of interest
and resume to the Clerk/Treasurer no later than December 22, 2017 at 5 p.m. Those who have
submitted and meet the qualifications will be invited to a Council meeting to present and answer
questions the Council may have. The Council votes to appoint an applicant. This would be considered
a contingency appointment. The Mayor-Elect can still show up and accept the Mayor position if he
has resigned his full time employment, at this point the contingency Mayor appointment would no
longer be in effect. If the Mayor-Elect does not take the Mayor position, then the Council will have
already selected and appointed an applicant and they will be sworn in as Mayor on January 2°d.
Bruce questioned how the City can advertise for a vacancy when they do not know if the position is
vacant.
Sam stated that this is a contingency vacancy. Which means that the Council would adopt a resolution
prior to January 2, 2018 that would allow the Council to interview candidates and appoint a
Contingency Mayor to be sworn in on January 2°d in the event the Mayor position is vacant. The
Mayor-Elect can choose to keep his full time employment or resign and be sworn in as Mayor on
January 2°a
Bruce stated that the Mayor-Elect is still currently elected, what happens in the event he shows up and
has not resigned the position.
Sam stated that by adopting a resolution prior to January 2, 2018 the Council has the authority to
declare the Mayor position vacant. At this point the contingency is real and the Contingency Mayor
will be sworn in. This contingency provides the City with a Mayor regardless of the decision.
Bruce asked if the resolution would be passed before the end of the year.
Sam stated that the advertisement states that letters need to be returned by December 22°d. A special
meeting will be set up with the resolution to appoint a Contingency Mayor.
Tom questioned how this differs from the Council President running the proceedings and setting a
time on the agenda for consideration of the Mayor, with the Mayor being seated after that point. Since
the Council President take all duties and responsibilities when the Mayor is absent.
4
Council Warkshop Minutes of December 12,2017
Emelie questioned how the Council will know if the Mayor-Elect had tenured his resignation and how
will the Council have assurance that he has submitted a letter of resignation.
Sam stated that letter will most likely be submitted to the Council advising that he is not accepting the
position. He stated that the City does not have anything in writing and advises having a contingency
plan in place prior to January 2°d. He stated that the Mayor, Mayor-Elect and himself had a discussion
that the job is the Mayor-Elect's to take. If he chooses his full time employment then the City will
have appointed a Contingency Mayor for a two year term. If he decides to keep his full time
employment and the Mayor position, then the position will be declared vacant. He would then have
the ability to challenge in District Court, but the City would not be left in limbo. Litigation would stop
the City from operating.
Emelie questioned how the Council have defmitive proof that he has resigned. He has stated in the
news that he will wait until January 2°d to make a decision.
Sam stated that any document stating he has resigned can be relied upon. He can turn it into the City
Clerk who will distribute to Council. The contingency plan resolution will be sent to Council to
further explain how this will work. Often legislature will have contingency sections of laws. The
contingency is not taking the office away from him, but the City will have a Mayor to appoint.
Chuck questioned the comment about the Mayor needed to keep the City moving, in the past the
Council President or Council Vice President have run the Council meetings in the absence of the
Mayor. Since the present Council President and Council Vice President have resigned, why cannot the
City Council currently seated elect a Council President and Council Vice President prior to January
2°d. If on January 2°d there is no Mayor sworn in the newly seated could appoint within a period of
time and be part of the selection process.
Sam responded that he had considered that, however, there is a difference between conducting a
meeting and running a City. The Mayor will be signing contracts, conducting Department Head
meetings, and preforming all duties performed by the CAO. In missing a Mayor and CAO the City
will be missing huge chucks of City government needed to operate the City. His suggestion is to
proceed with appointing a Contingency Mayor to keep the government running. The Council can elect
new Council President and Council Vice President prior to January 2"a
• Discussion— Mayor Vacancy Advertisement.
This agenda item was discussed with the previous agenda item, How the Council meeting will run on
January 2na
Chuck requested that the requirement of not being a current employee of the City, as this got the City
here in the first place.
Sam, responded that the requirements are directly out of City Ordinance. It is common law.
Chuck withdrew suggestion.
• CouncilIssues:
o Update on 2011 Yellowstone River flooding event
5
Council Workshop Minutes of December 12,2017
The Mayor received an update from Kurt which he shared with Council. The pumps are cavitating,
which means that the pumps are losing suction. This is a design issue that Great West must fix. The
weir is still in place. Kurt is asking for an extension in the project from DEQ.
Emelie questioned how often the new intake is being used and how often the old intake is being used.
The Mayor stated he would find out.
Emelie clarified that the contractor has until next year to remove the weir.
Other Items
• Council President's Resignation
Council President Doug Poehls tenured his resignation as Council President effective December 11,
2017. Agenda item was discussed with previous agenda items, How the Council meeting will run on
January 2na
• Council Vice President's Resignation
Council Vice President Tom Nelson tenured his resignation as Council Vice President effective
December 12, 2017. Agenda item was discussed with previous agenda items, How the Council
meeting will run on January 2"a
• Resolution— BNSF Bicycle Grant
Sam stated that the grant document is in the packet. He had asked Rylie from the Ambulance Service
to attend, but he was unable to. Rylie did however submit a memo, attached to these minutes, to the
Council explaining what the Ambulance Service intends to do with the grant money and how it would
be beneficial to the City and its residents. This grant was issued quite some time ago and the Council
needs to move forward in order for the funds to be used.
Tom stated that the check is dated over 120 day ago and therefor void. He did not understand why this
issue was on the agenda.
Emelie stated that the Budget/Finance Committee has been working with the Fire Chief on some
issues. The proper procedures for writing this grant were not followed. They got the grant and the
money and now need permission to use the funds. The department has not acknowled that this grant is
to the City of Laurel and have not worked with the Clerk/Treasurer or CAO in this process. She does
not recommend the Council approving this resolution. There are also concerns if the Ambulance
Service needs an Emergency Bike Response Team and if there will be issues with the City's
insurance.
The Mayor requested the grant and funds be distributed to the Clerk/Treasurer today. They are in the
possession of the Clerk/Treasurer.
Sam stated that if the Council moves forward to accept the grant the City can ask for the check to be
reissued. The granting agency can always decline reissuing the check. The check is in the safe and
will not be deposited unless the Council accepts the grant.
Tom asked when the check came to the City.
The Mayor stated that the check was received in July and placed in holding at the Fire Department,
and did not get to the City Clerk/Treasurer until today.
6
Council Workshop Minutes of December 12,2017
Tom questioned why the department did not turn in the check immediately or go through the
appropriate channels to obtain the grant.
Bruce questioned why this was postponed from July.
The Mayor stated no they do not know why this was postponed. The Council can chose how to move
forward.
• Resolution— Beartooth RC & D
Earl Atwood, Beartooth RC & D, spoke regarding the 2018 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
Annually they come in and discuss the memorandum of understanding. The MOU is the same as
previous years, the only change is the cost. In May of this year the Board of Directors approved a rate
increase to match the grant funds. Because the City participates with the City of Billings, Yellowstone
County and Big Sky EDA they have agreed on an allocation of the total County assessment. The
City's total increase will be $417, the total for this year is $2,076.18 which is six percent of the total
County assessment. This covers the growing gap between the match Federal Funds. He introduced
Sue Taylor, who discussed what has happened in the past year.
Sue Taylor, Economic Development Director, went over the handouts with Council. The handouts
have been attached to these minutes. The Council will have the Riverside Park Master Plan to Council
to review very soon. She has worked very closely with LURA on a few items. Recently she has gone
over the Community Assessment done ten years ago, to see what has been done since that Community
Assessment. Most progress has been made through the TIF District. Because the City participated in
the ripple mapping effects they are now eligible for a $1000- $1500 mini grant. Beartooth RC & D
will work with LURA on the grant.
Emelie asked for clarification if they work with mostly LURA.
Sue responded that they have been the closest connection.
Emelie asked if there were any updates since September 10, 2007 on the Community Assessment.
Sue responded both yes and no. The ripple effects mapping shows what has been done as result of the
assessment. What has been presented today is a brief summary of the resource assessment.
Tom questioned if they have been working with LURA on the gateway plan, example extending the
TIF District.
Sue responded that Big Sky EDA has taken the lead on that project. She has been invited to
participate and does offer a second set of eyes to this project. She helps the City stay on track with
what they would like to accomplish.
Tom stated that as Billings works on Big Sky One program it will effect Laurel significantly.
Sue stated that the Main Street revitalization program is an option as well.

FROM: Budget Finance, Chair Emelie Eaton � �,�����:���
DATE: September 1, 2017
RE: iVotice of pay
After our second meeting with you regarding your salary request, the Budget and Finance
Committee concurs with the CAO and Mayor's decision to not entertain your salary increase
request by placing the issue on a City Council agenda and refusing to revisit the City ludge Pay
Matrix that was adopted in 2015. Please be advised, the Committee supports the decision to
deny your increased salary due to your failure to comply with and follow the City's normal
budgetary procedures. Secondly,the City Administration has held departments' budgets to a
0% increase over the last two fiscal years. The City is unable to afford a pay increase for your
position at this time.
Finally, one of the main focuses of the City Court should be the ever-increasing uncollected
debt the Court continues to carry on the books. As of July 31, 2017 the amount was over
$400,000, which the Budget and Finance Committee views as unreasonable. Should you wish
to be on an agenda in the future that is the certainly the topic the committee would like to
discuss.

Data Note:Supply(retail sales)estimates sales to consumers by establishments.Sales to businesses are excluded. Demand(retail potential)estimates the expected amount
spent by consumers at retail establishments.Supply and demand estimates are in current dollars. The Leakage/Surplus Factor presents a snapshot of retail opportunity.This
is a measure of the relationship between supply and demand that ranges from+100(total leakage)to-100(total surplus).A positive value represents'leakage'of retail
opportunity outside the[rade area.A negative value represents a surplus of retail sales,a market where customers are drawn in from outside the trade area.The Retail Gap
represents the difference between Retail Potential and Retail Sales.Esri uses the North American Industry Classification System(NAICS)to classify businesses by their
primary type of economic activity.Retail establishments are classified into 27 industry groups in the Retail Trade sector,as well as four industry groups within the Food
Services&Drinking Establishments subsector.For more information on the Retail MarketPlace data,please click the link below to view the Methodology Statement.
