Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Cynthia Jordan Delaney, Deputy City Clerk
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Reappointment to the Parking Commission
MEETING DATE: July 14, 2008
RECOMMENDATION: The Mayor reappoints one member to the Parking Commission, with
the approval of the Commission.
BACKGROUND: There is one term on the Parking Commission that expired on June 30, 2008,
and there is one applicant who is reapplying for this new term that will end on June 30, 2012.
The Bozeman Parking Commission is responsible for managing and regulating public parking
in the City's Parking Districts to best serve the needs of its customers: businesses, residents,
employees, and visitors.
The Parking Commission was created under Section 7-14-46, M.C.A., and Commission
Resolution No. 1676, adopted by the City Commission on May 8, 1974, as amended by
Commission Resolution No. 1839, adopted by the City Commission on November 24, 1976, and
Commission Resolution No. 3803, adopted by the City Commission on June 6, 2005.
The Parking Commission is a seven-member administrative board and also advises the
Commission regarding parking and fines in the "B-3" zoned area of the city. Under statutory
provisions, members of the board are appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of the
Commission, to staggered four-year terms. In the past, every effort has been made to appoint
business people who have been assessed for SID No. 565, which provided the funding for the
four off-street parking lots over which the Parking Commission has control.
The Parking Commission has the authority to purchase land and may hold title to that property.
Under the provisions of Commission Resolution No. 3803, adopted by the Commission on June
6, 2005, the Parking Commission was given power to regulate off street parking in “B-3” zoning
districts and residential parking permit areas only.
The Parking Commission is currently overseeing the construction and operation of a 435-space
public parking garage in the historic City Center. The garage and the parking districts under the
Bozeman Parking Commission's authority shall be managed by a new Parking Manager who is
scheduled to be hired in the summer of 2008.
The Parking Commission currently has one vacancy and one applicant.
Applicant seeking Reappointment:
Lisa Danzl-Scott (co-owner of the Bozeman Brewing Company)
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
