Parking Commission Appointment Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Pearl Michalson, Deputy City Clerk Robin Crough, City Clerk SUBJECT: Reappointment to the Parking Commission MEETING DATE: August 08, 2016 MEETING TYPE: Action RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to confirm one Mayoral appointment to the Parking Commission with an updated term expiring June 30, 2020. BACKGROUND: There is currently one term on the Parking Commission that expired on June 30th, 2016 and one re-applicant as well as one new application received. The Bozeman Parking Commission is responsible for managing and regulating public parking in the City's Parking Districts to best serve the needs of its customers: businesses, residents, employees, and visitors. The public parking garage in the city center is also under their authority. The Parking Commission was created under Section 7-14-46, M.C.A., and Commission Resolution No. 1676, adopted by the City Commission on May 8, 1974, as amended by Commission Resolution No. 1839, adopted by the City Commission on November 24, 1976, and Commission Resolution No. 3803, adopted by the City Commission on June 6, 2005. The Parking Commission is a seven-member administrative board and also advises the Commission regarding parking and fines in the "B-3" zoned area of the city. Under statutory provisions, members of the board are appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of the Commission, to staggered four-year terms. In the past, every effort has been made to appoint business people who have been assessed for SID No. 565, which provided the funding for the four off-street parking lots over which the Parking Commission has control. The Parking Commission has one expiring term with one re-applying applicant and one new applicant. Reapplying Applicants: New Applicant: Kelly Dean Wiseman Matthew Andrew ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.

While my children no longer attend MCM, I still serve on the board because I want to 745 serve and build an incredible school for the community. I live near MSU and enjoy walking through the neighborhoods and our community. Parking is the elephant in the room for many residents.

He encouraged me to apply. As an owner occupied resident there can be struggles with parking. My personal experience dealing with a neighbor who was before the city planning board to build multiple units on his property highlighted these issues. I've read the entire UDC and Community Plan as background. How did you hear about us?: From a police office 746
