REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor & City Commission
FROM: Courtney Kramer, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Bozeman Certified Local Government Grant Contract for 2010-2011
MEETING DATE: Monday, March 1, 2010
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission approves the Mayor to sign the Bozeman Certified
Local Government Grant Contract for 2010-2011.
BACKGROUND: This is a consent item for the Mayor’s signature on the Bozeman Certified Local
Government Grant Contract for 2010-2011. The Montana State Historic Preservation Office awarded a
grant in the amount of $5,500 to fund historic preservation staff and efforts in Bozeman.
On Tuesday, January 19, 2010 the Bozeman City Commission consented to the mayor’s signature of
Bozeman’s application for a 2010-2011 Certified Local Government grant, awarded from the Montana
State Historic Preservation Office.
The $5,500 is a matching fund grant, for which the City of Bozeman exceeds the match by funding the
salaries of two historic preservation staff members. The $5,500 funds a portion of salaries as well as
preservation outreach and education events like seminars for professionals in historic preservation,
“Preservation Days”, walking tours, and the annual excellence in historic preservation awards.
As an agreement of the contract, historic preservation planning staff submits a quarterly report to the
SHPO, detailing activities the Historic Preservation Board has sponsored and the funds used for those
activities.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The Department of Planning, which administers the Bozeman Historic
Preservation Office, 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.
