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: Appointments to the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
MEETING DATE: September 27, 2010
MEETING TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Appoint one new member to the Recreation and Parks Advisory
Board and re-appoint the student member as an at-large member.
BACKGROUND: The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board currently has two vacancies. One
new applicant has applied and the student member with a term expiring October 2 has applied for
an at-large position. While he is a student, he is also a full-time resident, property owner and
owns a local business. He would prefer the at-large position to avoid the need to re-apply every
year. If both applicants are (re)appointed, one student vacancy will be open.
The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board is established under Section 2.36.030 of the Bozeman
Municipal Code. It consists of up to fourteen members who serve three-year terms, except for
the two students, who serve one-year terms. They shall represent as many facets of recreational
programs as possible.
A majority of the members, regardless of the Board's size, shall be residents of the City. The
Board is advisory, making recommendations to the City Commission on policy and procedural
matters in the field of recreation and playgrounds as well as parkland dedications or cash-in-lieu
proposals forwarded during the planning/subdivision process.
New Applicant: Re-applying Applicant:
Brian Close Jared Nelson

Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, January - October 2010.
I am an avid outdoorsman and one of the primary reasons we chose to live in
Bozeman was the abundant number of parks and recreation opportunities. I
strongly believe that community support is what makes the park infrastructure
strong and this is what motivates me to continue to be involved. I believe that my
inquisitive nature and ability to appreciate an issue from many angles is an asset
to the board. In short, I feel like I am finally understanding how the board works
and would like to continue my tenure as a member.
