BACKGROUND: Eight terms expired on this board June 30, 2012 and we have one vacancy due to a recent resignation. Four members with expiring terms have reapplied and we have one new applicant. The Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board was created under Chapter 2.80 of the Bozeman Municipal Code. This chapter is designed as a measure to establish a local historic preservation program designed to promote the preservation of historic and prehistoric sites, structures, objects, buildings, and historic districts by addressing historic preservation issues at the local level and integrating them into local, state, and federal planning and decision-making processes. The historic preservation program includes identification, evaluation, and protection of historic resources within the city (Ordinance No. 1180, Section 2, 1985). The Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board shall serve in an advisory capacity to the City Commission, City-County Planning Board, Zoning Commission, and other staff members or boards seeking advice on historic preservation issues (Ordinance No. 1454, Section 2, 1998; Ordinance No. 1180, Section 3, 1985). Members are appointed to staggered two-year terms. It is to be comprised of up to fifteen members: 267 (1) Three or four professional members with professional expertise in the disciplines of history, planning, archaeology, architecture, architecture history, historic archaeology, or other history preservation-related disciplines, such as cultural geography or cultural anthropology, provided, however, that at least one member shall be an architect holding Montana or NCARB registration; (2) Two to four members from historic districts; (3) One member from the Main Street commercial district, who "shall operate a business or own property in the neighborhood described as Main Street"; (4) Four to six at-large representatives.
