SUBJECT: Reappointment to the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2014 MEETING TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to reappoint City appointee Danielle Scharf to the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee. BACKGROUND: One voting City appointee term on the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety
Committee expired on December 31, 2013 and the member has re-applied.
Under an Interlocal Agreement dated February 6, 1990 and signed by the State of Montana Department of Transportation, the Bozeman City-County Planning Board, the City of Bozeman, and Gallatin County, the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee is identified “as a sounding
board for proposals advanced to the Transportation Coordinating Committee.”
The structure of the Committee is somewhat revised under this Interlocal Agreement, with its members being appointed by the City Commission and the County Commission, “from a cross section of the study area's economic and social classes in accordance with the appropriate section
of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” The Committee is advisory, and city appointee
members are appointed to staggered two-year terms.
This committee currently has one voting City appointee vacancy and one re-applying member.
Re-applying applicant:
Danielle Scharf
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
