year staggered terms. One member shall be a student of Montana State University, one shall
represent Gallatin County. Each member may be reappointed without any limitation on the number
of reappointments. Members must be of legal age. In addition, one non-voting liaison shall be a
student of Bozeman High School.

some interest in the city by virtue of working in the city, owning property in the city, or entering the

bicycling and/or traffic safety in the Bozeman area.
