Email: agenda@bozeman.net Mail to: Attn: City Commission PO Box 1230 Bozeman, MT 59771 First Name Lander Last Name Cooney Email Address Landercooney@gmail.com Phone Number 406-581-0143 Comments Hello, My name is Lander Cooney, and I live at 514 N. 9th Ave. I am registered to attend tonight's meeting and plan to offer this public comment at that time; however, I wanted to submit written comment as well, in case I experience technical difficulties or some other reason prevents me from making public comment this evening. I would like to express my support for appointing Christopher Coburn to the City Commission. I have gotten to know Christopher through our shared work in the health sector in Bozeman. Christopher is a trusted community partner who has supported numerous collaborative groups in using data and evidence to drive solution-focused planning for change. He is a skilled facilitator who knows how to build on collective strengths of team members. He is tech savvy and willing to help others use new tools for collaborating effectively. Christopher works to create more equitable and diverse systems – systems we know are more likely to produce improved health and well-being for everyone – in all that he does by advocating for and including underrepresented voices. One of the things I most appreciate about Christopher is his willingness to lean in to challenging topics and have open and honest conversations about what it will take to make positive changes. I cannot think of a more important time for our Commission to embrace this chance to add someone with Christopher’s skillset, perspective and public health expertise to its ranks. I believe Christopher would play an active role in helping lead Bozeman and ensure it remains, throughout its growth, a healthy, safe and welcoming place of opportunity for all, and I hope you agree.
