RESOLUTION 5488
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, SETTING THE ANNUAL SALARY FOR THE MUNICIPAL COURT
JUDGES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023
WHEREAS, the Bozeman City Commission has the exclusive authority pursuant to 3-6-
203, MCA and 22.01.090, BMC, to establish the annual salary of the municipal judges.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of
Bozeman, Montana:
Section 1
Effective July, 1 2022 and for fiscal year 2023 only, the annual salary of a full-time elected
municipal court judge will be $175,335.23. The chief judge of the Municipal Court will receive an
additional five percent (5.0%) of the above annual salary for performing the duties required of a
chief municipal court judge as defined by 3-6-201(5), MCA.
Section 2
The additional pay for the current chief judge as provided for in Section 1 shall be
retroactive to January 1, 2023. A municipal court judge who served in the position as chief judge

salary established in this resolution and therefore the retroactivity provided in this Section 2 is not
applicable to the chief judge who served in the position prior to January 1, 2023.
Section 3

benefits program provided to individual City employees, and may choose the type of coverage
