COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Becker and City Commissioners
From: Chris Naumann, Executive Director
Re: Downtown TIF Board Appointment
RECOMMENDATION: The Downtown TIF Board would like to recommend that Shannon
Haish be appointed to the vacant non-voting position.
BACKGROUND: The Downtown Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Board consists of 5
voting members and 2 non-voting members. Historically, newly appointed members have been
designated as non-voting members to give them ample time to understand the purpose and
function of the TIF board, the Urban Renewal Plan, and its associated projects. In the past when
a voting position became available the non-voting member has been “promoted” to fill the voting
vacancy.
Ms. Haish has considerable experience working with and for Downtown Missoula prior to
relocating to Bozeman. She comes highly recommended by Linda McCarthy, Executive Director
of the Missoula Downtown Association. She is knowledgeable of Business Improvement
Districts and Tax Increment Financing.
EFFECTS: This action would fill the last remaining vacant non-voting board
seats. As a result of this action, the TIF Board would no vacancies at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Mayor or City Commissioners
