Hello,
I'm writing in support of appointing Alison Sweeney to the open city commissioners seat.
My family and I are newish to Bozeman and Alison was the first neighbor we met after
moving in. She wasted no time to welcome us and jump right in giving us the history andcurrent state of the city and all it offers. She is clearly passionate about keeping Bozeman a
wonderful city for all residents and understands how diversity is a key ingredient to thatsuccess.
She understands the need for historic preservation while working towards affordable housing
so all residents can live in the city.In my time already, she had jumped into action, organizing our neighborhood, and getting us
as a community engaged in the development process to understand what could, can, and ishappening around the city and how we can support the work that keeps Bozeman the
wonderful city it is as it grows and develops. Urban spaces are a large part of that discussion and planning and Alison understands that you
cannot rebuild or replace these beautiful spaces. She works closely with all the organizationsto find compromise and gain full understanding so the community's needs are preserved and
met without sacrificing business. This only happens through great communication and trueconnection.
I hope to see Alison appointed to the open position and know she would add great value to the
conversation and the community she serves.
Thank you, Amy Lietz Roberts
