01:47:02 Marilee Brown, Public Comment
Marilee commented on discussing cost of the projects. There are small and large standalone projects,
and some of them will be covered by collector and arterial fees, which will be competing with other
projects. She would like the city to be discussing how to find sources in the future. Also, in the past,
public comments was the number one reason that pathways were considered. She thinks there needs to
be a much better way for the public to weigh in on things.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:Transportation Board
FROM:Taylor Lonsdale, Transportation Engineer
Nicholas Ross, Director of Transportation and Engineering
SUBJECT:Transportation Advisory Board Work Session on Commission Priorities and
Board Work Plan
MEETING DATE:January 24, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Provide input to the City Commission related to Commission Priorities
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:Every two years the Bozeman City Commission identifies a list of city
priorities. The City Advisory Boards operate from a two year work plan that
are connected to the Commission priorities. Based on input from the City's
Advisory Boards, the Commission is soliciting input from the Boards on their
priority setting efforts. The intent of this work session is to gather Board
input on Commission priorities and Board Work Plan ideas. The ideas for
Commission priorities will be passed along to the City Manager for the
Commission's consideration. The staff will utilize the input on the Board
Work Plan in the development of the Work Plan that will be presented and
further discussed at the February board meeting.
The Commission priorities are based on the following criteria: 1) Priority
must be completed within 2 years, 2) Commission must be able to resource
the priority - time, staffing, budget, 3) Priority accomplishment must be
measurable. The Commission tends to keep their priorities to a summary of
one sentence or so. The Commission Priorities for 2022-2023 were identified
in Resolution 5368. The Transportation Board Work Plan for 2022-2023 was
discussed at the January 26, 2022 Board meeting .
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None identified.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the board.
FISCAL EFFECTS:None.
