Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Aimee Kissel, Deputy City Clerk
Stacy Ulmen, City Clerk
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Appointment to the Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory
Board
MEETING DATE: March 08, 2010
MEETING TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Adjust the representative position of a member from at-large to
Main Street representative and appoint up to two new members as
at-large representatives on the Bozeman Historic Preservation
Advisory Board.
BACKGROUND: This board currently has two vacancies for a historic district
representative, one vacancy for a Main Street representative, and one vacancy for an at-large
representative. Two new applicants have applied and qualify as at-large representatives. The
Historic Preservation Advisory Board discussed the applicants and available positions at length
during their meeting on February 25, 2010. They recommend the Commission adjust the
representative position of current member Ryan Olson from at-large to Main Street
representative. Mr. Olson owns Tarantino’s Pizza on Main Street. This would free up a second
at-large representative position, allowing both new applicants to serve on the board in this
capacity. The board also expressed strong support for the appointment of Dale Martin. No
further comment was made on Tom Noble’s application.
The Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board was created under Chapter 2.80 of the
Bozeman Municipal Code. This chapter is designed as a measure to establish a local historic
preservation program designed to promote the preservation of historic and prehistoric sites,
structures, objects, buildings, and historic districts by addressing historic preservation issues at
the local level and integrating them into local, state, and federal planning and decision-making
processes. The historic preservation program includes identification, evaluation, and protection
of historic resources within the city (Ordinance No. 1180, Section 2, 1985).
The Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board shall serve in an advisory capacity to the
City Commission, City-County Planning Board, Zoning Commission, and other staff members or
207
boards seeking advice on historic preservation issues (Ordinance No. 1454, Section 2, 1998;
Ordinance No. 1180, Section 3, 1985).
Members are appointed to staggered two-year terms. It is to be comprised of up to fifteen
members:
(1) Three or four professional members with professional expertise in the disciplines of history,
planning, archaeology, architecture, architecture history, historic archaeology, or other history
preservation-related disciplines, such as cultural geography or cultural anthropology, provided,
however, that at least one member shall be an architect holding Montana or NCARB registration;
(2) Two to four members from historic districts;
(3) One member from the Main Street commercial district, who "shall operate a business or own
property in the neighborhood described as Main Street";
(4) Four to six at-large representatives.
Residence within the City shall not be a prerequisite for professional members or at-large
representatives. This board is considered advisory, although it is generally responsible for
overseeing the operation of the Historic Preservation Office.
This board currently has four vacancies and two applicants.
Applicant seeking a change in representative position:
Ryan Olson (from at-large to Main Street representative)
Applicants seeking Appointment:
Dale Martin (at-large representative)
Thomas Noble (at-large representative)
