Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Aimee Brunckhorst, Deputy City Clerk / Board Coordinator
Stacy Ulmen CMC, City Clerk
SUBJECT: (Re)Appointments to the Bozeman Tourism Business
Improvement District (BTBID) Board of Trustees
MEETING DATE: August 6, 2012
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action Item
RECOMMENDATION: Re-appoint or appoint up to two members to the BTBID.
BACKGROUND: The Bozeman Tourism Business Improvement District Board of
Trustees has two terms which expired on July 31st, 2012. Both members have re-applied and two
new applicants have applied.
The Bozeman TBID nominating committee, which is the Bozeman TBID board, has
recommended Tim Kuhlman (Holiday Inn) and Andrew Ash (Comfort Inn) to the Bozeman
City Commission for the two TBID board position vacancies. This recommendation occurred at
the July 24th TBID meeting through a ballet process that was approved by the board and is
considered to be consistent with section 2.3 of the Bozeman TBID bylaws, "Qualifications of
Trustees".
In August, 2009 the City Commission created the BTBID Board to manage the newly created
District (Cht. 2.90, BMC). The mission of the Board is to promote tourism that generates room
nights for lodging facilities in the city of Bozeman, Montana by effectively marketing the region
as a preferred travel destination. BTBID members are appointed to staggered four years. Board
appointees must either be a property owner within the District or the duly authorized designee of
an owner of property within the District.
The Bozeman Tourism Business Improvement District Board of Trustees currently has two
expired terms and four applicants.
Re-applying Applicants: New Applicants:
Andrew Ash Audria Butler
Tim Kuhlman Holly Ferrell
Alternatives: As suggested by the City Commission.
