FROM: Brenda Sweeney, Deputy City Clerk
Robin Crough, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Appointment to the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee (PTSC)
MEETING DATE: February 11, 2019
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, 2020.
BACKGROUND: The Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee has one vacant City Appointee
(Voting) position due to a term that expired on December 31, 2018. One new applicant has applied.
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.
