Report compiled on January 14, 2009
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor & City Commission
FROM: Andrew Epple, Planning Director Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Bozeman Certified Local Government Grant Application 2008-2009
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission approves the Mayor to sign the Bozeman Certified
Local Government Grant Application for 2009-2010
BACKGROUND: This is a consent item for the Mayor’s signature on the Bozeman Certified Local Government Grant Application for 2009-2010. The grant award will be in the amount of $5,500.
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 established the Certified Local Government (CLG)
Program. A local government that meets established criteria, as created by the National Park Service,
may apply for CLG certification. The Montana State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) administers the program for the National Park Service. Therefore, application is made through the Montana SHPO.
Bozeman’s Certified Local Government Program allows the Historic Preservation Officer and Historic
Preservation Advisory Board to continue community education and advocacy programs about Bozeman’s
significant historic and cultural resources. The grant award was predominately used in the past for Bozeman’s “Preservation 365”: a yearlong series of events which strive to bring awareness to Bozeman’s historic and cultural resources. Events planned for 2009 include seminars for property owners, walking
tours, lectures and the Fifteenth Annual Excellence in Historic Preservation Awards.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The Department of Planning, which administers the Bozeman Historic Preservation Officer, is not aware of any unresolved issues for the proposed development at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
CONTACT: Please feel free to email Courtney Kramer at ckramer@bozeman.net if you have any questions.
