The Wetlands Review Board is established to prepare functional assessments of regulated

regulated activities may have on delineated wetlands and to provide wetlands protection,
mitigation and/or enhance recommendations regarding such proposals to the Planning Director
and City Commission. The Wetlands Review Board will be convened as necessary to review
proposals that involve regulated activities and may impact regulated wetlands based on the
provisions contained in Chapter 18.56, BMC.
In selecting the members, the City Commission shall give preference to residents of the
City of Bozeman. However, where a qualified resident is not available to serve, the City
Commission may appoint a member who practices professionally, owns property or
owns a business within the City.
The WRB shall consist of six members. An appointment to a term of service on the
WRB is for two years. Members shall be degreed in their respective disciplines and/ or
otherwise licensed or certified by their respective professional authorities.
