BID Board Appointments Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Pearl Michalson, Deputy City Clerk Robin Crough, City Clerk SUBJECT: (Re) appointments to the Downtown Business Improvement District Board (BID) MEETING DATE: July 18, 2016 MEETING TYPE: Action RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to (Re)appoint Michael Basile to the term expiring June 30, 2020, one new applicant to the existing term expiring June 30, 2017 and appoint one new applicant to the vacancy that expires June 30, 2020 on the Downtown Business Improvement District Board. BACKGROUND: Michael Basile’s term on the BID expired June 30, 2016. He has reapplied. One vacancy with a term expiring June 30, 2016 exists, as well as a term that expired on June 30, 2016. Three applications have been received. Upon three terms being (re)appointed this evening, the new expiration dates will be June 30, 2020. Montana Code stipulates that BID Board members be owners of property within the district. In the past, several applicants were appointed to the board as "property owner representatives" because their property title named a corporation as the owner rather than the individual. For many years the City Commission has honored this precedent by appointing property owner representatives to the BID Board. The BID was originally created by Resolution No. 3361 and Ordinance No. 1517, per MCA 7-12-1121, in May of 2000. In June of 2010, the BID was extended/recreated by Resolution No. 4263 for an additional ten years. The board shall be comprised of not less than five, nor more than seven, owners of property within the district. Members are appointed for staggered four-year terms. The BID currently has two expired terms and one vacancy with one member reapplying and new three new applicants applying.

We are a growing community and although that is a boon to our local business people, it does come with some difficulties and complexities. I feel that my 8 years as a 263 small business owner in Bozeman (Cafe Fresco) and additional 7 years as a business owner in Big Sky ( Mountain Maids, Inc.) will give me the perspective of a small business person, as well as a lot of experience on both sides of issues that arise (as a customer service based business I have experienced both what I am looking for in a downtown, as well as heard what my customers are interested in). I have run both of my businesses in a financially responsible way and feel that transparency and fiscal responsibility are crucial to a successful business model. Lastly, being in a busy restaurant gives me lots of time to talk to the customers and get to know our community members better. I believe that knowing what people love and desire for Bozeman will help me make unbiased and informed decisions. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to work with the BID Board members in the future.
