New Business – None
Old Business
• The Committee discussed the payments to the Fire Association. The Committee discussed
having a resolution passed by Council for this monthly payment. This would create a clear
record for any future Council Members, Mayor’s, or Clerk Treasurer’s to review. Having a
resolution in place would remove any questions regarding how the payments began, the
amount to be paid, and frequency of payments. This would also create a document for the
Auditors to use to verify the approval of the payments by Council. The Committee asked if
there are any receipts or payroll records submitted for the Drill Pay/Meal Pay. The Clerk
Treasurer stated we do not receive receipts for meal, and the City never has. She also stated
the Payroll Clerk receives a document from the Fire Department monthly, however the Clerk
Treasurer does not know if it shows the Drill Pay attendance. She stated she will bring one
of the reports to the next meeting. The Clerk Treasurer stated having a resolution in order
would be great.
• The Committee also discussed the Fiscal Year 2021 Budget. They wanted to know the
progress on the Budget and how the Fiscal Year is looking. The Clerk/Treasurer stated she
11
had received most of the Fiscal Year 2021 budget documents from the Department Heads.
The Clerk/Treasurer stated General Fund is the main concern for the Fiscal Year 2021. She
stated she was concerned about the SRO’s going back to school, the Entitlement Share,
Gambling Revenues, Property Tax Revenues and Business Licenses. The Committee asked
if any local businesses have officially closed. The Mayor stated none of our local businesses
have closed, that he is aware of. He does know that our small businesses are struggling, and
any help they can receive is much needed. The Committee asked if any new business
licenses have been applied for. The Clerk/Treasurer stated she would bring a report.
Other Items
• Review the Comp/OT report for pay period ending 06/14/2020. The Committee reviewed
the report and had no questions or comments.
• Clerk/Treasurer Update – The Clerk/Treasurer stated she had nothing at this time. She stated
she would bring one of the Fire Department payroll documents, and a business license report.
• Update from the Mayor – The Mayor stated he will be working with the Clerk/Treasurer to
create a conservative budget document. The concerns over COVID-19 revenue losses is
high. He stated the Unemployment Rate has gone up 10%, and there is concern this is only
the beginning. The Committee asked if the City was going to receive any funding from the
State for COVID-19 costs. The Mayor stated all costs associated with COVID-19 were
being paid by the Emergency Fund. He stated the Emergency Fund had money in it that had
to be expended prior to any State Funds being requested. The Committee asked how much
money was left in the Emergency Fund. The Clerk/Treasurer stated she would bring that
amount to the next meeting.
Announcements –
• The next Budget and Finance Meeting will be held on Tuesday July 14, 2020 at 5:30pm

Brief Description of Type of Business and Services Provided by Applicant.
Physical Therapy: Mountain Land operated a physical therapy clinic in l eased space at 405 East Main in Laurel from July
2015 through February 21, 2020. Jeremy Hansen, PT, DPT is the Clinic Director. We provide outpatient orthopedic and
manual physical therapy services. We work with all insurances, Medicare, Medicaid, worker compensation, auto
accident, and private pay patients. Referrals are received from all of the local and regional physicians, nurse
practitioners, PA’s etc. However, we do have some patients who access our services directly, without referral. Our
practice has grown to 3 providers and multiple support staff due to the growing need in Laurel and as a tribute to the high
quality of care that Jeremy and his team have provided to the community.
Brief Description of Project.
Mountain Land purchased the existing building at 204 East Main, which is on leased property own ed by Montana Rail
Link. Alpha Omega Disaster Restoration, the previous owner, designed the tenant improvements and Cucancic
Construction, Inc. was the general contractor. There was moderate remodeling of the current offices and substantial
remodeling to turn the “garage” area into a physical therapy gym. The physical therapy clinic occupies 2,400 sq. ft. of the
4,300 sq. ft. building. We plan to find a tenant that is interested in all of part of the remaining space. We removed the two
garage doors on the east front of the building and had an exterior wall with large windows looking out of the gym. We
eliminated the former parking directly in front of the east front and will landscape with a walkway to the entrance, which
will remain in the same place. We are working on plans for the exterior to make it look like medical office space rather
than a converted shop.
Brief Description of Project Time Line.
Closing date for the purchase of the building occurred in June 2019. Due to escalating construction expenses we had a
difficult time making it through the bidding process and finding a builder who was both affordable and available. Our
original timeline had us moving in by September or October of 2019. In reality, building began in late November or early
December and we received our certificate of occupancy on 2/21/20. We saw our last patients at 405 East Main on
2/21/20, moved the clinic over the next two days and began seeing patients at 204 East Main on 2/24/20.
Explain how the project will support and/or improve the down town district.
The community of Laurel has already embraced our unaffiliated, independent physical therapy service on Main Street.
We have had a wonderful and accommodating landlord in Ken Miller at 405 East Main but the space and the parking are
already inadequate and will not support the growth that we currently have and anticipate will continue with this new
location. Being on the busier portion of Main Street will make our clinic much easier to find for our patients and the
87
Control No. 20-0507-125234

parking will be more abundant and convenient. With this property being on the east side of the Laurel Chamber of
Commerce building that has park-like landscaping, we want our building to look congruent and equal in quality. These
are the only two business on the south side of Main east of the railroad underpass.
What type(s) of development and/or physical improvements are being considered?
Beautifying the front of the building exterior, plus landscaping, and creating a parking lot.
