Report compiled on March 25, 2012
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor & City Commission
FROM: Courtney Kramer, Historic Preservation Officer
SUBJECT: Bozeman Certified Local Government Grant Application for 2012-2013
MEETING DATE: April 2, 2012
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission retroactively approve the Mayor’s signature on
Bozeman’s Certified Local Government Grant Contract for 2012-2013.
BACKGROUND: This is a consent item for retroactive approval of the Mayor’s signature on the
Bozeman Certified Local Government Grant Contract for 2012-2013. The grant award is $5,500 and
requires a $1-to-$1 match.
The Montana State Historic Preservation Office notified the Historic Preservation Officer of receipt of the
grant on March 14, 2012 and required a signed contract in Helena by March 30, 2012. In order to retain
the grant, and in light of the City of Bozeman’s acceptance of these funds annually, Staff asked Mayor
Becker to sign the contract early. This memo retroactively approves the Mayor’s signature on the grant
contract.
The $5,500 funds a portion of Historic Preservation Officer Courtney Kramer’s salary, as well as gives
financial resources to preservation outreach and education events like seminars, walking tours, survey
updates and the annual “Excellence in Historic Preservation Awards”.
As an agreement of the contract, historic preservation planning staff submits a report every six months to
the SHPO, detailing activities the Historic Preservation Board has sponsored and the funds used for those
activities.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The Department of Planning, which administers the Bozeman Historic
Preservation Officer, is not aware of any unresolved issues for the proposed development at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
CONTACT: Please feel free to email Courtney Kramer at ckramer@bozeman.net if you have any
questions.
