Mission Statement: The Downtown Bozeman Business Improvement District (BID) is an organization of downtown property owners who through thoughtful, pro-active collaboration and partnership
with local government, business owners, residents and citizens strive to create a shared vision and voice for the community of downtown Bozeman. The BID will commit resources, identify,
plan and act on short-term and long-term initiatives otherwise unavailable to individual owners. The BID has a goal of ensuring the long-term preservation and vitality of the city's
underlying economic, cultural, social and environmental assets and the BID will work together to keep our downtown a safe, beautiful and vibrant place. Montana Code stipulates that
BID board members be owners of property within the district. In the past, several applicants were appointed to the board as "property owner representatives" because their property title
named a corporation as the owner rather than the individual. For many years the City Commission has honored this precedent by appointing property owner representatives to the BID Board.
At a date yet to be determined, the BID Board intends to re-examine this practice and formally recommend to the City Commission whether or not to continue this practice.
Created by Resolution No. 3361 and Ordinance No. 1517, per MCA 7-12-1121, on May 15, 2000, this district shall have a duration of ten years. The Board shall be comprised of not less
than five, nor more than seven, owners of property within the district. Three of the members who are first appointed must be designated to serve for a one, two, or three-year term from
the date of their appointments and two must be designated to serve for a four-year term from the date of their appointments. After initial appointment, members must be reappointed for
a four-year term.
