Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Aimee Kissel, Deputy City Clerk Stacy Ulmen, City Clerk
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Appointment to the Parking Commission MEETING DATE: January 11, 2010
MEETING TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: The Mayor appoints one new member to the Parking Commission, with the approval of the Commission.
BACKGROUND: There is one vacancy on the Parking Commission that expires on June 30,
2013, and there is one new applicant.
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 public parking garage in the city center is also under their
authority.
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.
