Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Brit Fontenot; City Clerk
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Zoning Commission Appointments
MEETING DATE: February 12, 2007
RECOMMENDATION: Make retroactive appointments to fill up to three (3) vacancies,
effective February 1, 2007, and further, ratify the actions taken by the Zoning Commission
at their meeting of February 6, 2007.
BACKGROUND: The Zoning Commission is created under Resolution No. 3312, Bozeman
Municipal Code, to establish procedures for the administration of the municipal zoning
ordinance within the City limits.
This Commission shall consist of five members appointed by the City Commission, and they
shall serve staggered two-year terms.
Any person of legal age may be appointed, but all members must be City residents.
At the February 6, 2007 meeting of the Zoning Commission it was determined that the terms of
two Zoning Commissioners expired on January 31, 2007. The records used by the Clerk’s office
to make timely appointments to the numerous City Boards were incorrect. Further investigation
revealed that, in fact, a third member’s term also expired on January 31, 2007, thus raising the
question of whether the Zoning Commission had a valid quorum on the night of their regularly
scheduled meeting.
Two of the three expired term Zoning Commission members attended the meeting on February
6, 2007 under these emergency circumstances and acted in good faith in order to conduct
business and take action and conduct hearings on projects that were scheduled before the Zoning
Commission and noticed to the public.
The following Zoning Commission members terms expired on January 31, 2007:
Nathan Minnick
J.P. Pomnichowski
Warren Vaughan
87
Re-Applicants:
Nathan Minnick
J.P. Pomnichowski
Warren Vaughan
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
Brit Fontenot, City Clerk Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
