According to the guidelines in the Bozeman Municipal Code (the “BMC”), Chapter 2, Article 5, Division 10, the Board consists of five voting members with staggered initial appointments. One member shall be appointed for one year, one for two years, two for three years and one for four years. After initial terms all appointments shall be for four years. Any person may be appointed if they are residents of, property owners within, or gainfully employed by a business or firm located within the limits of the City of Bozeman (the “City”).

All members shall take the annual ethics training as required by Section 7.01 of the Bozeman City Charter. Nothing within the BMC or MCA refers to a City Commission liaison for this particular type of board therefore it is up to the Commission whether or not a Commission liaison should be assigned. The Executive Director of the MSU Innovation Campus will provide technical and administrative assistance and guidance to the Board with additional assistance from the City as necessary. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None. ALTERNATIVES: As desired by the City Commission FISCAL EFFECTS: None, though staff time will be impacted in administering the board.
