Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Cynthia Jordan Delaney, Deputy City Clerk
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Appointment to the Tree Advisory Board
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2008
RECOMMENDATION: Appoint one member to the Tree Advisory Board.
BACKGROUND: On March 24, 2008, the City Commission decided not to fill one vacancy on the
Tree Advisory Board because of their concern that not all applications were included for consideration.
Mary Ann Nielsen’s application from March 9, 2007 wasn’t included in that packet because she hadn’t
responded to an email inquiry asking if she was still interested in being appointed, and the chair of the
board understood that Ms. Nielsen didn’t want to be appointed. Ms. Nielsen later confirmed via phone
that she would like to remain involved in an auxiliary capacity, and not be appointed to the board.
Therefore, it has been verified that there is currently only one applicant seeking appointment.
The Tree Advisory Board is created under Ordinance No. 1364, adopted by the City Commission on
April 26, 1993, as codified in Chapter 2.92 of the Bozeman Municipal Code. The Board is comprised of
five members appointed by the City Commission, serving staggered two-year terms.
Whenever possible, two of the members shall be from the following disciplines: real estate, commercial
lending, civil or environmental engineering, or landscape architecture or construction. Members shall be
residents of the City, own property within the City, or be gainfully employed within the City. The Board
is advisory to the Commission, providing guidance and advice regarding the City's tree program and
developing a proposed arboricultural specifications manual and any needed revisions.
New Applicant:
Mike Haugh (City resident)
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
