DURD Bylaws Amendment
Summary
Residents challenged TIFF eligibility of line items in the downtown URD budget — including the $270,000 Downtown Bozeman Partnership fee and a $5 million parking plan with no named partner — and argued ordinance 1409 requires excess increment above the inflation-adjusted $750,000 cap to return to the general fund.

Impact analysis
Roughly $2.4 million in cumulative excess increment since 2021 and a $9.7 million URD fund balance are at issue.
If the concerns are validated, the general fund and services like police and fire would regain revenue currently captured by TIF districts.
