City Commissioners:Given the high level of municipal discourse the new UDC draft has elicited, I believe the most important characteristic whichthe new "to be appointed" City Commissioner should possess is "objectivity". It would be a crime in my opinion to appoint aperson who is strongly associated with either side of the argument...either pro UDC draft (i.e. Development folks) or con. Inresearching the issue candidates such as Mark Egge or Jason Delmue should not be considered for this very reason. Thereappear to be many other candidates who would bring true objectivity to the commission and the UDC issue. Please take thisunder careful consideration as you vote on this appointment. The last thing Bozeman needs right now is an even heightenedlevel of discourse surrounding this issue.
Thank you.
