Appointments to the BDBID Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Mike Maas, City Clerk SUBJECT: Appointment(s) to the Bozeman Downtown Business Improvement District Board (BDBID) MEETING DATE: October 27, 2020 MEETING TYPE: Action RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to appoint up to two members to the Bozeman Downtown Business Improvement District Board to terms ending June 30, 2024. STRATEGIC PLAN: 1.2 Community Engagement: Broaden and deepen engagement of the community in city government, innovating methods for inviting input from the community and stakeholders. BACKGROUND: The Bozeman Downtown Business Improvement District Board (BDBID) currently has two vacancies due to expired terms. Two term renewal applications have been received. Montana Code stipulates that BDBID Board members be owners of property within the district. In the past, several applicants were appointed to the board as "property owner representatives" because their property title named a corporation as the owner rather than the individual. For many years the City Commission has honored this precedent by appointing property owner representatives to the BID Board. The BID was originally created by Resolution No. 3361 and Ordinance No. 1517, per MCA 7-12-1121, in May of 2000. In June of 2010, the BID was extended/recreated by Resolution No. 4263 for an additional ten years. On August 11, 2020, the BID was recreated by Resolution No. 5141 and Ordinance No. 2040 until 2030. The board shall be comprised of not less than five, nor more than seven, owners of property within the district. Members are appointed for staggered four-year terms. This board currently has two vacancies. The City Clerk’s Office has received two applications with their relevant qualifications below. 1. One position with a term expiring June 30, 2024 | Qualifies: M. Basile (currently held by M. Basile) 252 2. One position with a term expiring June 30, 2024 | Qualifies: S. Neubauer (currently held by S. Neubauer) Applicants: Mike Basile Susan Neubauer Commissioner I-Ho Pomeroy is the City Commission liaison for this board.
