Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee Appointment Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Brenda Sweeney, Deputy City Clerk Robin Crough, City Clerk SUBJECT: Appointment to the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee MEETING DATE: May 21, 2018 MEETING TYPE: Action RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to appoint one member to the City Appointee (Voting) position on the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee to a term ending December 31, 2019. BACKGROUND: The Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee has one vacant City Appointee (Voting) Position that expired on December 31, 2017. One applicant has reapplied. The City of Bozeman, County of Gallatin, and the Bozeman School District established the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee in an Interlocal Agreement dated December 22, 1976, and on file at the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder's Office. Duties on this Committee advise all three of those governmental bodies on matters of both motorized and non-motorized travel safety in the greater Bozeman area. Under an Interlocal Agreement dated February 6, 1990 the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee added one additional duty (i.e., to serve as a sounding board for proposals advanced to the Transportation Coordinating Committee). The Committee's voting membership comes from four sources: (1) the City appoints two members, (2) the County appoints two members, (3) the Bozeman School District appoints two members, and (4) those six people can elect zero, one, or two additional At-Large voting members. This committee currently has one City Appointee (Voting) vacancy. The City Clerk’s Office has received one application with their relevant qualification indicated below. 1.
