REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager
FROM: Aimee Brunckhorst, CMC, City Clerk & Communications Manager
SUBJECT: Appointment to the Tourism Business Improvement District Board
MEETING DATE: September 19, 2022
BACKGROUND: The Tourism Business Improvement District was originally created in 2010
with Resolution 5425 with the regulations of the District created with Ordinance 1675. In 2019,
Resolution 5954 was passed renewing the TBID for an additional 10 years beginning July 1,
2020. Ordinance 1833 was then passed to establish the regulations for the new TBID.
The District is governed by a Board of Trustees to which the Mayor, with the approval of the City
Council, appoints seven members of property within the district. After initial appointment,
members are appointed for a term of office of 4 years.
A resignation of a board member representing a small category property recently created a
vacancy on the board. Skyler Rieke General Manager of the Best Western Flathead Lake Inn &
Suites has applied for the position as an Associate Member of the TBID as it is a property outside
of the original boundary.
RECOMMENDATION: Mayor Johnson offer a recommendation to appoint Skyler Rieke to
the Tourism Business Improvement District with a term expiring April 30, 2025. Council can then
follow with a motion to accept the recommendation and confirm the appointment.
