Adopted 2010 -2011 Work Plan
Five Commissioners, elected with no party affiliation, make up the City Commission. They are elected to four-year overlapping terms as part-time officials. Terms are staggered, and elections are held every two years. For the first time in the 2007 general election, a candidate can campaign for the position of Mayor, and if elected will assume the position of Mayor during the last two years of his or her term (previously, the Commissioner candidate who received the most votes in an election became the Mayor during the last two years of his or her term).
The City Commission establishes policies governing City operations and enacts ordinances and resolutions to amend or update the Bozeman Municipal Code. The Commission levies taxes, adopts the City's yearly budget, and appoints members to citizen advisory boards. Decisions made by the City Commission protect the health, safety, general welfare, and future well-being of the citizens of Bozeman.
