Dear Chairman Skinner, Commissioner Seifert, and Commissioner MacFarlane,
Bozeman and Gallatin County continue to be challenged with the pressures of growth. We must rely
upon our ability to find common ground among the various interests that we have as two governing
bodies representing both the urban and rural areas of the Gallatin Valley. The number of issues that we
have in common is growing. Issues such as:
• mental health and social service coordination,
• affordable housing,
• the work of the PCC(Planning Coordinating Committee) and the TCC(Transportation Coordinating
Committee) in anticipation of establishing our area as an MPO for transportation management,
• topics of joint interest to the City-County Public Health Board and the 911 Advisory Board, and
coordination on the timing of ballot measures.
These are just a few of the topics that could be discussed. The County Commission may also have areas
of interest or concerns that warrant a face to face conversation with the City of Bozeman.
The Bozeman Strategic Plan is a roadmap for our most important priorities, of which our relationship
with Gallatin County is among those. As such, we respectfully request to hold a joint meeting with the
County Commission in the first quarter of 2020. Please let the City Manager know of your interest and
your availability in the coming months.
Respectfully your ,/►
