Appointments to the NURB Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Brenda Sweeney, Deputy City Clerk Robin Crough, City Clerk SUBJECT: Appointment(s) to the Northeast Urban Renewal Board (NURB) MEETING DATE: August 5, 2019 MEETING TYPE: Action RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to appoint up to two members to the Northeast Urban Renewal Board to the following positions and terms: One Voting position with a term ending July 31, 2023, and/or One Non-Voting position with a term ending July 31, 2023. BACKGROUND: The Northeast Urban Renewal Board (NURB) currently has two vacant positions due to term expirations as of July 31, 2019. Two term renewal applications have been received. The NURB is responsible for the implementation of the adopted urban renewal plan, pursuant to 7-15-4232. The Plan specifies three broad responsibilities for the Board: (1) develop plans which implement the vision of the district; (2) review on an ongoing basis the operation and processes of all public agencies to assure that such activities are supportive of the plan; (3) advocate and coordinate the complete and full implementation of the plan. The Board is established pursuant to Section 7-15-4234 of the Montana Code Annotated and further refined by the District’s adopted plan. The Northeast Urban Renewal District Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted in 2005 pursuant to Ordinance 1655. Membership consists of nine positions serving staggered four-year terms after the initial appointment. The Plan calls for the creation of a Board that shall consist of 5 voting members and not more than 4 non-voting members. Under the Plan, “Any person may be appointed as voting members if they reside within the municipality or own property within the District.” The plan further suggests a preferred composition of board members: The preferred composition of the voting members shall be: 2 business owners of businesses within the district; 2 residents from within the district; 1 member at-large. The Commission may choose to consider this preferred composition or choose a different composition as long as the applicant resides within the municipality or owns property within the District. The board currently has two vacancies. The City Clerk’s Office has received two applications, with their relevant qualifications indicated below. 1. One Voting position, expiring July 31, 2023 | Qualifies R. Pavlic, C. Dormire (currently held by R. Pavlic) 2. One Non-Voting Position, expiring July 31, 2023 | Qualifies: R. Pavlic, C. Dormire All of the applicants meet the minimum qualifications for appointment to the voting or non-voting vacancy. Mr. Dormire is resident of the municipality. Mr. Pavlic is a resident of the municipality and a resident and business owner within the District. Please note that in order to keep the code-mandated 5 voting members, Mr. Dormire and Mr. Pavlic cannot BOTH be appointed to voting positions. If the City Commission elects to change the Plan’s preferred composition with these appointments, the City Clerk’s office would, pursuant to the Plan, advertise for any future vacancy in accordance with the Plan’s specified preferred composition. Applicants: Robert Pavlic Corwin Dormire Commissioner I-Ho Pomeroy is the City Commission liaison for this board. NURB appointments are Commission appointments. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
