REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Aimee Kissel, Advisory Board Coordinator
Stacy Ulmen, City Clerk
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: (Re)Appointments to the City Planning Board
MEETING DATE: January 31, 2011
MEETING TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: City Commission reappoint one current member and appoint one
new member to the City Planning Board.
BACKGROUND: Four terms expire on the Planning Board on January 31st, 2011. Three of
these positions are appointed by the Commission, with the fourth being appointed by the Mayor
upon recommendation by the County Commissioners. One new application has been received
and one member has re-applied for another term. The County Commission will consider whether
to recommend Bill Quinn for another term during their February 8th County Commission
meeting. After that meeting, the Mayor can consider the reappointment of Mr. Quinn.
The City Planning Board shall encourage local units of government to improve and plan for the
future development of the City of Bozeman and areas adjacent to the City to the end that
highway systems be carefully planned; that new community centers grow only with adequate
highway, utility, health, educational, and recreational facilities; that the needs of agriculture,
industry, and business be recognized in future growth; and that residential areas provide healthy
surroundings for family life.
The City of Bozeman Planning Board was created by Ordinance No. 1508 in December 1999. In
January 2007, Ordinance No. 1686 revised Section 2.66.0230, providing for certain staggered
terms for City Planning Board members so that in the future all terms don’t expire at the same
time.
According to Ordinance No. 1686, Section 2.66.030 of the Bozeman Municipal Code was
amended to read:
“2.66.030 Composition.
293
The Bozeman Planning Board shall consist of nine members, appointed to two year
terms to expire on January 31, as follows:
A. One member appointed by the City Commission from its own
membership. The term of the appointed member shall be
coextensive with the term of office to which he or she has been
elected or appointed unless the Commission, on its first regular
meeting of each year, appoints another to serve as its
representative or unless the appointee’s Commission term is
terminated;
B. Three members appointed by the City Commission one of whom,
at the Commission's discretion, may be an employee of the City of
Bozeman or hold public office in Bozeman or Gallatin County.
The appointments shall be for two-year terms, with those terms to
expire on January 31 of odd-numbered years;
C. One member appointed by the Mayor, upon designation by the
Gallatin County Board of Commissioners, who may be a member
of the Board of County Commissioners or an office holder or
employee of the County. This appointment shall expire on January
31 of odd-numbered years;
D. Four citizen members appointed by the Mayor, who shall be
resident freeholders within the city limits, and who shall be
qualified by knowledge and experience in matters pertaining to
the development of the city. These appointments shall be
coterminous with the term of the Mayor.
That gives five even-numbered year members, and four odd-numbered year members.
There are four terms expiring today, one new applicant and one reapplying applicant.
