BACKGROUND: The Bozeman Parking Commission has one vacant position with a term ending June 30, 2022, and two positions with terms expiring on June 30, 2019. One expired term will not seek a term renewal. Three new applications and one term renewal application have been 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 currently has three vacancies. The City Clerk’s Office has received four applications. 1. One position expiring June 30, 2022 | Qualifies: A. Horton, P. Neubauer, J.

Bozeman City Planning Board (5 years) Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: Most of my experience comes from five years of service on the Planning Board. The final two years (roughly) I was serving as the Chair. During my chairmanship, we completed the rewriting of the UDC. Another interesting part of my Planning Board service was reviewing RFP's for the Growth Policy contractor with Chris Saunders and Marty Matsen. The knowledge I gained on the Planning Board enabled me to more effectively devote time to other changes going on in the city, and learn about the NCOD, SID parking credits, leases, TIF's, URD's, etc... Most recently I served on the Steering Committee for the rewrite of the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan, and was one of the most active volunteers involved in that process.

Internet Is there any other information that you feel we need to know? My desire to join the board is based on trying to do what is best for the city and its residents. The few opinions I have (about parking) are based on wanting city operations to be fair to all. Far from being rigid in my thinking, I am eager to learn more, and (where appropriate) be convinced that my ideas are wrong. My motives are not based on self interest (I live downtown but have room to park 3 cars in the ally!!). People who have served with me know that I take my commitments seriously, do my homework, and value everyones' time. Thank you for your consideration.
