Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Aimee Kissel, Citizen Advisory Board Coordinator
Stacy Ulmen, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Appointment to the Downtown Business Improvement District Board
(BID)
MEETING DATE: August 1, 2011 (moved from July 25, 2011)
MEETING TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Reappoint one member to the Downtown Business Improvement
District Board (BID).
BACKGROUND: Two terms on the BID expired June 30, 2011. One member has reapplied
and no new applications have been received.
Montana Code stipulates that BID Board members be owners of property within the district. In the past, several applicants were appointed to the board as "property owner representatives" because their property title named a corporation as the owner rather than the
individual. For many years the City Commission has honored this precedent by appointing
property owner representatives to the BID Board.
The BID was originally created by Resolution No. 3361 and Ordinance No. 1517, per MCA 7-12-1121, in May of 2000. In June of 2010, the BID was extended/recreated by
Resolution No. 4263 for an additional ten years.
The board shall be comprised of not less than five, nor more than seven, owners of property within the district. Members are appointed for staggered four-year terms.
The BID currently has two expired terms and one reapplying applicant.
Applicant seeking Reappointment:
Buck Taylor
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Attachment: Board Application and Board recommendation letter
