Dear Commissioners,
I am writing to support Mark Egge for the vacant position on the City Commission. I
have lived and worked as a planner in Bozeman for 22 years and I have had the
privilege of observing Mark’s dedication and commitment to serving our City.
I’ve known Mark for several years and I always leave our conversations feeling smarter
and hopeful that there are proactive and innovative solutions to the issues, particularly
growth, facing our City. I know you will realize how unique this is as so many
conversations about growth are tainted in fear and nostalgia for the way things used to
be. I believe Mark can help our community mature in a thoughtful, inclusive, and
sustainable way.
I have witnessed firsthand Mark’s passion for a better Bozeman through his
volunteerism. Mark does so much more than show up – he shows up prepared with
new ideas and ready to listen to others. Furthermore, Mark’s professional experience
in transportation planning as well as his established relationships with key partners will
be extremely valuable as Bozeman establishes the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO).
I firmly believe that Mark Egge’s background, expertise, creativity, and unwavering
commitment to the betterment of our city make him an ideal candidate for the vacant
position on the City Commission. Please feel free to contact me if you require any
further information or clarification regarding my recommendation. Thank you for your
time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Susan Riggs, AICP
