From: Daniel Carty, Bozeman
Subject: City Commission Meeting 5-24-22, Interlocal Health Board Agreement Vote
I am writing to request that the Bozeman City Commissioners vote not to approve the
current draft of the Interlocal Health Board Agreement (IHBA) being pushed on the
City of Bozeman by the Gallatin County Commissioners.
If the Bozeman City Commissioners do vote to approve this draft of the IHBA, then
the Gallatin County Commissioners will gain almost unlimited power and control overthe Gallatin City-County Health Office/Officer, Gallatin City-County Board of Health,
Gallatin City-County Board of Health Governing Body, and all public health decisions
affecting the City of Bozeman and Gallatin County as a whole. The City of Bozeman
should not give such power and control to the Gallatin County Commissionersbecause the Gallatin County Commissioners—oligarchy that they wish to be—cannot
be trusted to act in the best interests of the residents of the City of Bozeman with
respect to public health issues either now or in the foreseeable future.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Sincerely,
Daniel Carty (406-548-2810)
Bozeman
