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: February 22, 2011
MEETING TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: City Commission appoint one or two new members to the City
Planning Board. Mayor re-appoint the County Commission representative and possibly appoint
one additional member. A total of four appointments can be made between the Commission and
Mayor.
BACKGROUND: Due to expired terms and a Mayoral appointment resignation, four vacancies
exist on the City Planning Board; two for Commission appointment, two for Mayoral
appointment. The County Commission recommended the re-appointment of Bill Quinn as the
County representative during their February 8th County Commission meeting. Mr. Quinn’s
position is appointed by the Mayor. Three new applications have been received.
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 staggered terms.
According to Ordinance No. 1686, Section 2.66.030 of the Bozeman Municipal Code was
amended to read:
“2.66.030 Composition.
The Bozeman Planning Board shall consist of nine members, appointed to two year
terms to expire on January 31, as follows:
47
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 two Commission appointment vacancies, one Mayoral appointment vacancy for
a County representative and one Mayoral appointment vacancy for a citizen member.
The Mayoral appt for a County rep. has re-applied and there are three new applicants that
could be apptd by the Commission or the Mayor.
