Re: open City Commission seat appointment
Dear City Commissioners,
I am writing to recommend Douglas Fischer as a candidate for the open Bozeman City
Commission seat you will soon appoint.
I am a long-time Bozeman resident, past Planning Board and Planning and Zoning
Commission member, and passionate supporter of all things Bozeman.
I have known Douglas for nearly 20 years and have been impressed especially with his
work on the Board of Trustees for Bozeman School District 7 and more recently on the
Bozeman Sustainability Advisory Board.
As I think about Bozeman's challenges today, I see the need for someone on the city
commission who is a bridge builder, has a shown track record for helping disagreeing
parties work constructively together, and can help the city with a public process to involve
the community in often difficult decisions about inclusion and future growth.
In all of these areas, I believe Douglas would be a very strong addition to the Bozeman city
commission and I encourage you to take his application seriously for the commission open
seat.
Thank you for your consideration and by all means let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Ben Alexander
