RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN OPPOSING
SENATE BILL NUMBER 349.
WHEREAS, the City of Bozeman adopted the Commission-Manager form of government
in 1922, and has been governed and administered under that form for these fifty-five
I years; and,
WHEREAS, under this form of government the Police Court Judge is appointed by
and serves at the will of the City Commission; and,
WHEREAS, this arrangement has been entirely satisfactory for the City of Bozeman,
having withstood the test of time, and the growth and development of the City, un-
blemished by political patronage; and
WHEREAS, it is felt that the Commissioners -- the elected representatives of
the people -- can suggest and convey the consensus of the electorate, as to the
manner in which violators should be dealt with, in accordance with the provisions
of law and the ordinances of the City; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN
herewith opposes the passage of Senate Bill Number 349, and urges that the present
method for the provision of Police Court Judges in commission-Manager cities not be
altered.

session of said City Commission held on the 2nd day of March 1977.
