Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: IDB/TIF (Downtown Bozeman Improvement District Board) MEETING DATE: July 16, 2007 RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. The Downtown Bozeman Improvement District Board recommends reducing the number of IDB/TIF members to five voting members and two non-voting members. 2. Make up to three (re)appointments to fill two voting vacancies and one non-voting vacancy. BACKGROUND: The Downtown Bozeman Improvement District Board recommends reducing the number of members to a total of seven (five voting, two non-voting) in order to ensure that a voting quorum will be present and that this Board can operate more efficiently and effectively. In addition, this will ensure that non-voting vacancies do not remain open indefinitely since they are difficult to recruit for and fill. Through the Urban Renewal Plan, this Board is given the authority to determine the number of non-voting members it desires, up to seven. The Downtown Bozeman Improvement District Board (IDB/TIF) was created under the Urban Renewal Plan, which was adopted by the Commission under Ordinance No. 1409, on November 20, 1995. This Board is administrative. The Board is currently comprised of five voting members who shall have a demonstrated interest in downtown Bozeman, and four non-voting members. The Mayor shall appoint the members, with the advice and consent of the City Commission. In accordance with Section 7-15-4234, M.C.A., members shall serve staggered four-year terms. The voting members shall be residents of the city, and a majority of the voting members shall not hold any other public office under the municipality. In addition to the voting members, the Board shall also be composed of up to seven non-voting members, also with staggered four-year terms. Non-voting members must also possess a demonstrated interest in downtown Bozeman and may represent a specified list of organizations which include, but are not limited to, the Parking 261 Commission, Chamber of Commerce, MSU/Museum of the Rockies, Gallatin Development Corporation, Bozeman School District, City of Bozeman, Gallatin County and the Downtown Bozeman Association. Non-voting members need not be city residents. The IDB/TIF currently has three vacancies and three applicants: 1 Voting Vacancy (for a term that expired on June 30, 2007): Applicant seeking reappointment: Barbara Bear 1 Voting Vacancy (for a term to expire on June 30, 2010): New applicants: Thail Davis Doug Fletcher 1 Non-voting Vacancy (for a term to expire on June 30, 2009): New applicants: Thail Davis Doug Fletcher ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
