Also present were City Manager Greg Doyon, and Deputy City Clerk Darcy Dea. PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS 1. MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. Jeni Dodd, City resident, opined that the City is failing to follow legal requirements regarding disclosure of evaluation criteria of a City Manager’s review governed by the state constitution regarding open meetings and established case law. Ms. Dodd commented that Article 2, Sections 8 and 9 of the Montana Constitution states that the public has the fundamental right to be informed and participate in the operations of government agencies because performance of a City Manager directly impacts municipal operations and expenditure of public funds. Montana Cities are legally obligated to release evaluation criteria used by City Officiants for a City Manager’s review prior to review process as these criteria are public records and their establishment constitutes a public decision of significant interest. The criteria must be included in public meeting agendas or made available as public documents before the Commission utilizes them.

PUBLIC COMMENT Jeni Dodd, City resident, commented that page 11 of the Work Session Agenda Packet states that extending sewer and water infrastructure is eligible activity for the SCIR funds. Under Montana law, municipal water and sewer systems are generally prohibited from charging existing ratepayers for specific costs of extending infrastructure to benefit private developments. This directly conflicts with what the City is proposing with the SCIR fund. The governing principle in Montana statutory framework and case law is at the cost of extending services to a new subdivision or development must be borne by the developer or specific users benefiting from the extens [Excerpt truncated on this listing page; use the official record for the full text.]

PUBLIC COMMENT Richard Ecke, City resident, member of the Historic Preservation Advisory Commission and chairman of HPAC's Save the Boston and Montana Barn Committee, read from a prepared statement. There are several positive developments regarding the historic mule barn, the last on-site structure still standing from the original Black Eagle smelter.

The City Commission had expressed deep concern over potential liability issues with the barn. A tall fence with barbed wire at the top should do much to assuage those concerns. This will likely require a written agreement wit [Excerpt truncated on this listing page; use the official record for the full text.]
