Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: Wetlands Review Board (Re)Appointments MEETING DATE: January 28, 2008 RECOMMENDATION: (Re)appoint members to the Wetlands Review Board. BACKGROUND: Three terms on the Wetland Review Board expired on December 31, 2007: plant scientist, biologist, and hydrologist. The Wetlands Review Board is established to prepare functional assessments of regulated wetlands that may be impacted by proposed regulated activities, evaluate the impacts proposed 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. Members shall consist of at least one biologist, one soil scientist, one plant scientist, and one hydrologist. 163 FYI: The three current/ongoing members on the board (with terms that expire on December 31, 2008) are serving as a biologist, a soil scientist, and a weed consultant. This board has three applicants and three vacancies. It is up to the Commission to decide if these applicants are qualified to fill one of the vacancies that requires a hydrologist or a plant scientist. In terms of the third vacancy (which had been held by a biologist), since there is already one current member serving as a biologist, that vacancy can be designated for a different role or specialist. Applicant seeking Reappointment: Steve O’Neil (had been serving as a hydrologist) New Applicants: Brian Sandefur Debra Zarnt ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
