Hello City Clerks, could you please make sure the following people and departments get this
request, thank you:
Chairman Happle of the Community Development Advisory BoardMayor Terry Cunningham
Deputy Mayor Joey MorrisonCommissioners Jen Madgic and Douglas Fischer
City Manager Chuck WinnDepartment of Community Development
Hello everyone,
A very respected urban planner and professor of sustainable urban design, Patrick Condon has
agreed to come to Bozeman the week of June 17th. I was hoping it would be possible to addhim to the agenda for the June 17th Community Development Advisory Board meeting so that
he might make a presentation and answer questions about some very innovative tactics that areproving useful to increase density AND affordability in urban centers. With community re-engagement surrounding the UDC rewrite process likely to begin sometime this summer, thisopportunity is particularly timely. Would any of you be willing to talk to me about thisopportunity? I would appreciate it.
Ideally I was also hoping he could present at the June 18th City Commission meeting. Looking at the 6 month City Commission calendar I realize there may not be time.
If that is the case, would the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Commissioners be willing to attend abook signing earlier in the day at the public library where you can hear his presentation and
ask questions? We could schedule it for any time that works for you, say 4pm? We wouldneed to notice it properly of course, which is not terribly difficult. Bozeman would benefit
from densification without leaving our working class folks behind. Please contact me sowe can capitalize on this incredible opportunity.
Thank you so much,
Alison B. Sweeney
