One voting member appointed by the Mayor, term expiring January 31, 2023. 2. One non-voting member appointed by the City Commission, expiring January 31, 2023. In 2006 with Ordinance 1685, The Commission adopted an urban renewal plan to act as a policy guide for the North Seventh corridor and adjacent properties, and created the North Seventh Avenue Urban Renewal District, and the North Seventh Urban Renewal Board (NSURB) to implement this plan. In 2015 with Ordinance 1925, the North Seventh Avenue urban district was created and the Bozeman Midtown Urban Renewal District Plan adopted. The NSURB was renamed the Bozeman Midtown Urban Renewal Board (MURB) for the implementation and administration of the Bozeman Midtown urban renewal district. Individuals appointed to the MURB shall have a demonstrated interest in the District or adjacent neighborhoods. Pursuant to MCA S 7-15-4234, the mayor, by and with the advice and consent of the City Commission, shall appoint the MURB, which shall consist of five voting members.

(○) Midtown Urban Renewal Board (MURB) Do You Live in the City Limits? (Some positions do require you live within Bozeman city limits while others do not.) (○) Yes How long have you lived in the Bozeman Area? (○) Less than 1 year Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission? (○) No Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: I noticed two seats were coming up at the end of January, thus my application. My interest in the MURB is that I live near 5th and Villard and the church that I pastor (bozemanchurch.com) is at 324 N. 5th Street. I'm right in the middle of midtown, my kids go to Whittier, we frequent several of the businesses along 7th, and this is the immediate community of our church. My only relevant experience is working for two non-profits in Michigan: Home Repair Services, which serves as a one-stop-shop for many areas of service to low-income home owners; and the Micah Center, a social justice think tank concerned, among other things, with urban development and affordable housing. In addition to being a pastor, I am also working my dissertation, broadly in the field of Ethics, but more narrowly focused on getting two divergent groups involved together in dialogue and cooperation; an area that might be of use in the discussions of the MURB.
