BACKGROUND: The Bozeman Parking Commission has two vacant positions - one with a term ending June 30, 2022, and one with a term ending June 30, 2023. Three new applications 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 two vacancies. The City Clerk’s Office has received three applications. 1. One position expiring June 30, 2022 | Qualifies: R. Carpenter, K. Pohl, A.

(○) 11 years or more Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission? (○) No Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: I am a Bozeman native and returned home 13 years ago after leaving Bozeman for graduate school and my early career. As someone who has seen Bozeman grow over 40+ years and as a geographer and socioeconomic researcher, I believe my experience provides a solid background for the Parking Commission. My interest in the Parking Commission stems from being a bit of a transportation geek. I believe that our transportation infrastructure is critical to the culture, environmental impact, and economic development of our community and that smart transportation planning is one of the most important ways we can shape our community. Currently I am Policy Director at Headwaters Economics, a Bozeman-based nonprofit research organization that works to improve community development and land management decisions. Our work includes economic development research and analyzing complex socioeconomic data. My analytic skills and understanding of local government policy are directly relevant for the work of the Parking Commission. Previously, I spent a decade as Associate Director at the Gallatin Valley Land Trust where I helped create trails and conserve open space. In addition to giving me an intimate knowledge of Bozeman’s trails and 298 multimodal transportation network, my time with GVLT gave me experience working with city and county advisory boards and working with community leaders and stakeholders to prioritize actions and implement strategic plans. I also led the campaign for Bozeman’s 2012 Trails, Open Space, and Parks Bond. I commute to work and around town by bicycle, Streamline bus, and car, and frequently travel downtown. I live on the northwest side of Bozeman with my husband, who is a mental health therapist, and my two elementary-aged daughters. I am also currently a board member and previous treasurer of the Friends of the Bozeman Public Library. I would be honored to serve our community on the Parking Commission. Thank you for your consideration. References: Please provide name, phone, and email contact information for two references.
