BACKGROUND: Chris Pope has resigned from the Parking Commission. One new applicant has applied.
The Bozeman Parking Commission is responsible for managing and regulating public parking in the City's
Parking Districts to best serve the needs of its customers: businesses, residents, employees, and visitors. The
public parking garage in the city center is also under their authority.
The Parking Commission was created under Section 7-14-46, M.C.A., and Commission Resolution No. 1676,
adopted by the City Commission on May 8, 1974, as amended by Commission Resolution No. 1839, adopted by
the City Commission on November 24, 1976, and Commission Resolution No. 3803, adopted by the City
Commission on June 6, 2005.
The Parking Commission is a seven-member administrative board and also advises the Commission regarding
parking and fines in the "B-3" zoned area of the city. Under statutory provisions, members of the board are
appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of the Commission, to staggered four-year terms. In the past, every
effort has been made to appoint business people who have been assessed for SID No. 565, which provided the
funding for the four off-street parking lots over which the Parking Commission has control.
The Parking Commission will have one vacancy as of June 30, 2012.
New Applicant:
Ryan Olson
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Attachment: Board Application
