Report compiled on January 13, 2010
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor & City Commission
FROM: Courtney Kramer, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Bozeman Certified Local Government Grant Application for 2010-2011
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, January 19, 2010
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission approves the Mayor to sign the Bozeman Certified
Local Government Grant Application for 2010-2011.
BACKGROUND: This is a consent item for the Mayor’s signature on the Bozeman Certified Local
Government Grant Application for 2010-2011. The grant award will be in the amount of $5,500.
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 established the Certified Local Government (CLG)
Program. A local government that meets established criteria, as created by the National Park Service,
may apply for CLG certification. The Montana State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) administers
the program for the National Park Service. Therefore, application is made through the Montana SHPO.
Bozeman’s Certified Local Government Program allows the Historic Preservation Officer and Historic
Preservation Advisory Board to continue community education and advocacy programs about Bozeman’s
significant historic and cultural resources. The grant award was predominately used in the past to fund a
portion of the Preservation Officer’s salary, as well as for Bozeman’s “Preservation 365”: a yearlong
series of events which strive to bring awareness to Bozeman’s historic and cultural resources. Events
planned for 2009 include seminars for property owners, walking tours, lectures and the Sixteenth Annual
Excellence in Historic Preservation Awards. Planned events for 2010 include a seminar about Tax Credits
for Historic Preservation and how they can be combined with LEED certification, outreach events like
walking tours, and the Seventeenth Annual Excellence in Historic Preservation Awards.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The Department of Planning, which administers the Bozeman Historic
Preservation Officer, is not aware of any unresolved issues for the proposed development at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
CONTACT: Please feel free to email Courtney Kramer at ckramer@bozeman.net if you have any
questions.
