REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission

RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to appoint Adam Fruh to the Zoning Commission.
BACKGROUND: There are three ongoing vacancies on the Zoning Commission and one new applicant. The Zoning Commission now lacks a quorum. All members and the new

the administration of the municipal zoning ordinance within the City limits. Resolution No. 3312 then established the membership of the Zoning Commission.
According to Resolution No. 3312:
The Zoning Commission shall consist of five members appointed by the City Commission. Members of the board shall serve two-year staggered terms. Persons of legal age may be
appointed to the board. All members must be residents of the City of Bozeman.
This Commission has three ongoing vacancies and one applicant.

Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: Although the planning
board has yet to meet for the past six months I am anxious to contribute to the discussion. Early
August through November this year, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to our Department of Transportation's reconstruction of the Grand Loop Road in Yellowstone National Park. Our specific task focused on the massive historical masonry abutments that are invariably sinking
into the canyon below along the road. Cooperation between an extensive plan set, written
specifications, Federal Highway Administration Inspectors, the Prime Contractors, their
inspectors, Superintendents, and labor, provided a challenge that demanded clear communication and a technical understanding of the proposal. My ability to identify discrepancies and purposefully resolve continues to grow. Furthermore I have a have healthy supply of enthusiasm
for public discourse and how we can help to ensure that Bozeman remains amongst the greatest
places to live.
