Dear City Commission,
I am writing to you, as I'm sure lots of concerned constituents are, about my concerns over the
video that was released of the City Manager discussing various inappropriate topics with asubordinate.
Below are my key takeaways:
1) Mayor Cunningham meets privately with developers. This needs to be investigated.
2) Deputy Mayor Joey Morrison misled voters on his stance on affordable housing issues.
Deputy Mayor Morrison needs to explain this to his constituents, especially those who votedfor him.
3) City Manager Mihelich engages in inappropriate discussions with a subordinate, including
discussing his own personal finances, putting the subordinate in a very awkward position.
There were many other problematic ethical and moral issues that took place in this video. Inever thought hiring someone from Fort Collins was a good idea - such an extreme
misalignment in values with Bozeman - but this really solidifies my belief that the CityCommission needs to hire people whose values are aligned with their constituents values in
keeping Bozeman a liveable, small town.
Thank you for your consideration of my concerns.
