CHS Laurel Refinery
803 US Highway 212 South
Laurel. MT 59044
Dear Laurel Public Works,
This letter is to inform you of a bridge construction project taking place at the CHS Laurel Refinery, in
Laurel, Mont. The project is located on the southern edge of the refinery immediately adjacent to Montana
State Highway 212. The new bridge will service a new electric substation that will provide power to all
areas of the refinery.
Construction of the bridge will take place May -June 2018 and will require lane closures that may cause
minor traffic delays. To safely lift the bridge into place, Highway 212 will be closed for one night during the
first full week in June. Traffic will be rerouted along a route approved by Yellowstone County and the
Montana Department of Transportation (See Attached). The exact date will be communicated in late May
as it is subject to change depending on weather and construction progress.
I have enclosed maps and an information sheet with further information. If you have questions about the
project, please contact me at 406-628-5383 or Brandon. Gauthier@chsinc.com.
Thank you,

Farmer -owned with
global connections
The CHS Refinery in Laurel, MT processes roughly 60,000 barrels
of crude oil a day. Providing three percent of the United States' daily
consumption requires upkeep and improvements. To ensure ongoing
safety and operations, CHS is installing a new bridge to carry both
workers and electrical power over US Highway 212 and the BNSF
railroad tracks into the refinery.
Currently two bridges carry workers &
liquids over Highway 212
The CHS Refinery maintains two bridges that cross above Highway
212 and the railroad tracks. These bridges have been used for
decades. One bridge carries workers to/from the refinery offices. A
second bridge conveys products over Highway 212 and train tracks
that bisect the refinery. The new bridge will carry workers and 46,
three-inch, insulated power cables from a new Northwestern Energy
substation into the refinery.
--'e
Future Bridger.-,,
CHS is building a third bridge over Highway 212
In cooperation with Northwestern Energy, CHS is building a new
electric substation between Bernhardt Road and the Laurel Water
Plant, on the east side of Highway 212. The new substation will
replace an older substation within the refinery boundaries. The
new substation is planned to come online in 2018 and will provide
power to all areas of the refinery via the new bridge.
Planned bridge construction
May -July 2018.
When will work begin?
When completed, the bridge will not affect Highway 212 traffic.
Construction of the new bridge has already begun and is expected
to finish in early summer of 2018.

Summary
As the nation's largest cooperative refiner, CHS sells more than
three billion gallons of refined fuels each year. The CHS Laurel
Refinery continues to find better and safer ways to get both workers
and electrical power in and out of the Laurel Refinery.
We appreciate your patience during the construction period and
ask that you slow down during construction activities. If you have
concerns or see unsafe activities during construction, please contact
the CHS Refinery at (406) 628-5383.

Bethany Langve
Chairwoman Emelie Eaton called the meeting of the Budget/Finance Committee to order at 5:30 p.m.
The next regular Budget/Finance meeting will be on Tuesday May 15, 2018 at 5:30 p.m.
The minutes of the April 17, 2018 meeting were reviewed. Richard made a motion to approve the minutes,
Scot seconded the motion, all in favor, motion passed.
Claims entered through 04/26/2018 which totaled $142,124.04 were presented to the committee. Bruce
reviewed both the Claims Detail Register and the Check Register to ensure accuracy. The Committee
questioned what we pay Charter for because it states Modems in the description. It was explained that this is
for internet services. The Committee stated that some of the descriptions on the check register and claims
detail are not adequate to know what they are exactly for. The Clerk/Treasurer stated she will work with
Accounts Payable on that. Bruce made a motion to approve the claims, Emelie seconded the motion, all in
favor, motion passed.
One purchase requisition was presented. The purchase requisition was from the Library to change out the
lighting in the Library to LED lighting. There was a brief discussion by the Committee regarding the amount
of money that would be saved annually going to LED lighting. The electrician is going to do all of the rebate
paperwork for the City. Bruce made a motion to approve the purchase requisition for LED lighting in the
Library, Scot seconded the motion, all in favor, motion passed.
The Comp/OT report for PPE 04/22/2018 was reviewed by the Committee. The Committee had no questions
regarding the comp/OT for PPE 04/22/2018.
The Payroll Registers for PPE 04/22/2018 totaling $172,058.95 was reviewed by the Committee. Scot made
a motion to recommend Council approval of the payroll register, seconded by Richard, all in favor, motion
passed.
Clerk/Treasurer Comments:
Bethany stated that she has had discussions with both the Auditors and Bond Council regarding excess
reserves relating to water debt. The City currently has excess reserves for water debt and these reserves will be
used to pay off current outstanding water debt. This will lower the amount of debt the City has and help with
the paying of the SED Basin project. Once the amounts have been finalized and she has gone over everything
and received the Mayor's approval it will go to council. Bethany explained that the interest in the City's STIP
accounts had been being direct deposited into the City checking account. The City checking account accrues a
much lower interest rate versus the STIP account. Bethany worked with the Mayor and received his approval
to have the STIP interest rolled into the STIP account balance to gain more interest. The Committee asked
what STIP stood for. Scot googled it and stated that it stood for Short Term Investment Pool. The Committee
asked if the money in the STIP account could be used for anything. Bethany stated that the funds must come
out and be deposited into the same fund accounts they came out of. You cannot remove Enterprise Funds and
put them into General Fund.
Mayor's Comments:
The Mayor stated that he had requested Sam Painter, City Attorney, attend the next Council meeting to further
explain the Purchasing Policy. The Committee agreed that Sam needed to be present as our current purchasing
policy is not working correctly. The Committee feels as though City staff is using loopholes in the purchasing
policy to get around certain checks and balances. The Mayor stated that this is not happening anymore. The
Committee stated that these issues may not be happening under the current Mayor but what happens when the
next Mayor comes in. The Committee stated that none of the Council, City Staff or Mayor will be here forever
and an updated policy needs to be put into place, so these things don't happen in the future. There has already
been discussion in previous Budget Finance Committee meetings about getting a new policy in place. The
Committee feels that a discussion needs to be put onto the next Council Workshop regarding the purchasing
policy. Either the current one needs to be repealed and a new one written or get a new policy written and just
replace the current one. MCA 7-6-4301, which is attached to these minutes, was read aloud to the entire
Committee. The Committee has been told that if a claim is under $5,000 nothing can be said about it. That is
not acceptable by some of the Committee members. The Committee asked when the last revision of the
purchasing policy took place. The last policy revision was in 2013 and everyone agreed that it was time to
review the policy. The Committee asked if the previous Mayor checked to see if staff was following the
purchasing policy. The answer was no, the previous Mayor did not maintain any checks and balances. When
the updated purchasing policy was presented to Council, last time, there was no discussion prior to approving
it. The Mayor stated that the CAO and staff did what they wanted because the previous Mayor didn't maintain
any checks and balances. The Mayor stated that the CAO signed PO's, hired people and set the Council
agenda. That was illegal because the Mayor was supposed to do that per the Charter. The Mayor wants to
ensure that all Council, staff and himself are all operating legally. The Committee acknowledges that staff has
to be able to purchase things and not have their hands tied. The Committee feels as though it should be able to
ask questions about claims regardless of the dollar value. The Committee wants the policy updated to prevent
any erroneous spending. The Committee asked for the status of the new policy. Sam Painter has the updated
purchasing policy for review. The Committee requested that Sam Painter attend the next Budget Finance
meeting.

3. Signage at Riverside Park — Yellowstone Historical Society is offering
their help when we add signs to the park. The current sign was installed in
2009 and is in sad shape as it's made of painted timber. The society paid
$2400 to the cost of the original sign. They have the knowledge and interest
to see that signs are accurate and well designed. Ralph/Marlene Sanders

council. The mayor and city attorney will attend next month to
discuss the details. MMIA hasn't visited the site yet.
5. Swimming Pool:
• Shade — the Billie Riddle money has been used for expenses before and we
don't feel there needs to be a public meeting to spend the interest money.
The City Clerk has the expense in the budget for this year. Kurt will review
the Cantilever Shade with the mayor and present the cost of $3,405.88 plus
installation with Game Time (Amy will follow up with the estimated
installation costs). We really need to get the shade for this season.
• Benches — Scot says the bench company will sell us concrete benches for
$300 each and we can paint the backs where ads were placed. We agreed to
pay four to be used this summer. Kurt will submit this request as this is
already in the budget.
® Pool passes and memberships- Kurt is planning a meeting with Wayne from
the YMCA to talk about how the passes will be paid for at the pool and how
they will be tracked. For daycares and people needing lots of passes we
could print up 10 packs of $3/daily passes. This could be used by adults and
kids. Either Kelly or Bethany will be meeting with Kurt and Wayne
® Recent meeting to ask for public comments on the list of 19 projects
was Wednesday, April 25th. Five Laurel citizens attended. The plans
will be submitted to the Governor for signature on May 301h. If he
