HomeMy WebLinkAboutReappointments to the Parking Commission Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Aimee Brunckhorst, Deputy City Clerk & Public Engagement Coordinator Stacy Ulmen CMC, City Clerk SUBJECT: (Re) Appointments to the Parking Commission MEETING DATE: June 10, 2013 MEETING TYPE: Action RECOMMENDATION: Mayor Becker appoints one new member to the Parking Commission and re- appoints two current members. The City Commission confirms approval of the appointments through motion and vote. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve the Mayoral appointments of Dennis Bechtold, Benjamin Bennett and Ryan Olson to the Parking Commission. BACKGROUND: Two members of the Parking Commission have terms expiring June 30th, 2013 and both have re-applied. There is one vacancy due to the resignation of Tammy Hauer and one new applicant. 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 has two expiring terms and one vacancy with two re-applying applicants and one new applicant. Re-applying Applicants: New Applicant: Benjamin Bennett Dennis Bechtold Ryan Olson ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
