Hi, Eileen,
Thank you very much for your important comment. I am sharing it with our Library Board Chair,
Stew Mohr, so that he can share it with our Board. I’m also sending it to our City Clerk so that your
comment will be documented as public comment on the issue.
Thank you so much for supporting the Library!

To the Library Trustees tasked with fielding this horrible proposal, The Oxford Languages dictionary defines Trustee as an individual person or member of a board
given control or powers of administration of property in trust with a legal obligation to administer it
solely for the purposes specified.
Should you approve the taking of public property for the purpose of increasing private gain, as the
ill-advised proposal before you asks, I believe you would fail to fulfill this duty.
In addition, you would worsen the current parking situation, preclude the expansion of the library,
and disfigure the area adjacent to the park, trails, cemetery, and relatively affordable
neighborhoods.
Why the city would consider this agreement at all is simply beyond me. I hope this board of
Trustees for the Library is composed of more responsible members of the Bozeman community.
