Road closures do have permit fees and so do large events in parks and on trails. Water and sewer in Missoula are not funded through property taxes. These utilities are funded by usage fees, with rates dependent on the volume of use.

Event permit fees are intended to cover the cost of reviewing the permit application and issuing the permit. Some large events may also require building permits (for stage construction etc.) or fire or road closures. Those permit fees vary by category, but some of them do have a partial taxpayer subsidy. You can view fee information in this presentation.
Some large events, such as UM concerts or the Missoula Marathon, hire police officers for traffic control or other safety needs. In those cases, the event covers the full cost of those officers, including overtime wages and fringe.
Share Pleasantview Park's Master Plan was developed through a community-funded planning charrette in 2010 and formally adopted by the Parks Board in 2011. Since then, a playground was installed (2015) and roughly 45 trees were planted through an Arbor Day Foundation/Enterprise Mobility Foundation grant. The remaining elements of the adopted plan — a paved walking trail, multi-use sport court, picnic shelter, and dog off-leash area — have not been built, 15 years after the plan was adopted.
The Pleasant View Homes HOA has committed $15,000 toward Phase I implementation and has been working directly with Parks & Recreation on this project. Could the City clarify: what has prevented full funding and implementation of the remaining Master Plan elements over the past 15 years, and what is the City's actual timeline for fully funding and completing this neighborhood's adopted park plan? The CIP has carried this project for multiple budget cycles without full implementation, and the neighborhood would like a clear answer on when it can expect this long-adopted plan to actually be built. on Facebook

Thank you for your question and for the neighborhood's continued interest in Pleasant View Park.
The Pleasant View Park Master Plan continues to serve as the long term vision for future improvements to the park. In 2024 and 2025, Parks and Recreation worked with neighborhood representatives to revisit the master plan, confirm community priorities, and develop a phased implementation strategy. Through that process, the plan was refined to reflect current community priorities, including replacing the previously proposed dog off leash area with a flowering ornamental tree grove and identifying Phase 1 improvements focused on a looped walking trail, additional trees, picnic tables, and dog waste stations.
The Pleasant View Park Master Plan establishes a long-term vision but does not include dedicated construction funding. Implementation occurs incrementally as funding becomes available. Capital projects are evaluated through the City's Capital Improvement Program using adopted plans, project readiness, partnership opportunities, available funding, and overall community benefit, with the PROST 2040 Master Plan serving as the City's long-range framework for parks and recreation investments.
The City appreciates the HOA's financial commitment toward park improvements, and that partnership will continue to strengthen future funding opportunities.
At this time, Parks and Recreation does not have funding identified for full implementation of the remaining master plan elements and cannot provide a specific construction timeline. Staff will continue to evaluate and pursue appropriate funding opportunities and advance improvements as funding becomes available, consistent with the phased implementation strategy developed in partnership with the neighborhood.
