NSURB Minutes On November 27, 2006, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 1685, adopting an Urban Renewal Plan for the North Seventh Corridor and Adjacent Properties. This plan
is the official policy guide for public action regarding the North Seventh Avenue Urban Renewal District, and it creates the North Seventh Urban Renewal Board (NSURB) in order to implement
this plan.
On February 4, 2008, the North Seventh Urban Renewal Board was appointed and filled for the first time with five voting members and four non-voting members.
According to the North Seventh Avenue Urban Renewal Plan, in the section "Executing the Plan, Administration":
"To implement this Plan, an Urban Renewal Agency will be created, hereafter referred to as the North Seventh Urban Renewal Board (NSURB). The NSURB is responsible for the implementation
of this Plan, pursuant to MCA S 7-15-4232. Specifically, the NSURB will: 1) develop plans which implement the vision for the District; 2) review on an ongoing basis the operation and
processes of all public agencies to assure that such activities are supportive of the Plan; and 3) advocate and coordinate the complete and full implementation of the Plan.
Individuals appointed to the NSURB shall have a demonstrated interest in the District or adjacent neighborhoods. Pursuant to MCA S 7-15-4234, the mayor, by and with the advice and consent
of the City Commission, shall appoint the NSURB, which shall consist of five voting members. The initial voting membership shall consist of one NSURB member appointed for 1 year, one
for 2 years, one for 3 years, and two for 4 years. Each appointment thereafter shall be for 4 years.
(1) Each voting member shall hold office until his/her successor has been appointed and has qualified.
(2) A voting member shall receive no compensation for his/her service but shall be entitled to authorized necessary expenses, including traveling expenses, incurred in the discharge
of his/her duties.
(3) Any person may be appointed as voting members if they reside within the municipality. The preferred composition of the NSURB would include two residents of the District, two business
owners in the District, and one member at large.
(4) A voting member may be removed for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or misconduct in office.
(5) The appointment of voting members shall be ratified annually by the City Commission.
A majority of the voting members shall not hold any other public office under the municipality other than their membership or office with respect to the NSURB.
The powers and responsibilities of the NSURB shall be exercised by the members thereof according to adopted bylaws approved by the City Commission. A majority of the members shall constitute
a quorum for the purpose of conducting business and exercising the powers and responsibilities of the NSURB and for all other purposes. Action may be taken by the NSURB upon a vote of
a majority of the members (three) unless in any case the bylaws shall require a larger number.
In addition to the five voting members, the NSURB shall be composed of a non-voting membership of not more than four individuals. The initial membership shall consist of one member appointed
for 1 year, one for 2 years, one for 3 years, and one for 4 years. Each appointment thereafter shall be for 4 years. These individuals must possess demonstrated interest in the district,
specific expertise or other qualifications necessary to help implement the plan.
(1) Each non-voting member shall hold office until his/her successor has been appointed and has qualified. (2) A non-voting member shall receive no compensation for his/her services
