FROM: Aimee Brunckhorst, Citizen Advisory Coordinator Stacy Ulmen CMC, City Clerk
SUBJECT: (Re) appointments to the North Seventh Urban Renewal Board (NSURB)
MEETING DATE: February 25, 2013 MEETING TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
I move to confirm the Mayoral re-appointment of Andrew Cetraro as a voting member to the North Seventh Urban Renewal Board.
And I move to re-appoint Kevin Cook as a non-voting member to the North Seventh Urban Renewal Board.
BACKGROUND: One voting and one non-voting term expired January 31, 2013. Both
members have reapplied. There are two ongoing non-voting member vacancies. In 2006 with Ordinance 1685, The Commission adopted an urban renewal plan to act as a policy
guide for the North Seventh corridor and adjacent properties, and created the North Seventh
Avenue Urban Renewal District, and the North Seventh Urban Renewal Board (NSURB) to
implement this plan. According to the North Seventh Avenue Urban Renewal Plan,
“The NSURB is responsible for the implementation of this Plan, pursuant to MCA S 7-15-4232.
Specifically, the NSURB will: 1) develop plans which implement the vision for the District; 2)
review on an ongoing basis the operation and processes of all public agencies to assure that such activities are supportive of the Plan; and 3) advocate and coordinate the complete and full implementation of the Plan.
Individuals appointed to the NSURB shall have a demonstrated interest in the District or adjacent
neighborhoods. Pursuant to MCA S 7-15-4234, the mayor, by and with the advice and consent of
280
the City Commission, shall appoint the NSURB, which shall consist of five voting members.
Each appointment shall be for 4 years.
(3) Any person may be appointed as voting members if they reside within the municipality. The
preferred composition of the NSURB would include two residents of the District, two business owners in the District, and one member at large.
(4) A voting member may be removed for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or misconduct in office.
(5) The appointment of voting members shall be ratified annually by the City Commission.
A majority of the voting members shall not hold any other public office under the municipality
other than their membership or office with respect to the NSURB.
In addition to the five voting members, the NSURB shall be composed of a non-voting
membership of not more than four individuals, appointed to 4 year terms. These individuals must
possess demonstrated interest in the district, specific expertise or other qualifications necessary
to help implement the plan. There is one voting and one non-voting expired terms. Both members with expiring terms have re-applied.
Members re-applying: Andrew Cetraro (voting, Mayoral appointment)
Kevin Cook (non-voting, Commission appointment)
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
