Honorable Mayor Cunningham,
Deputy Mayor Morrison,Commissioners Madgic and Fischer
I'm writing in support of Alison Sweeney as a candidate for the vacant City Commission
appointment. I have worked with Alison on ballot initiatives as well as participating in theBetter Bozeman Coalition initiatives involving engaging with the Commission and the draft
UDC. Alison is very motivated, intelligent, hard working and team and solutions-oriented.She has a deep knowledge of how the City works and will be an asset to you as you go
through some complicated changes in both how government works and the rules whichbracket decision-making.
She is also a Bozeman native with a long-term perspective on preserving Bozeman’s true spirit
while managing unprecedented growth. She has been relentless in her enthusiasm fordeveloping partnerships with the City to accomplish meaningful objectives including
affordable housing, neighborhood preservation, carbon emissions reduction and protecting oururban forests, and even helping to craft the local urban chicken ordinance. She has
relationships with various constituencies within the community that will be invaluable as youseek to engage the community to tackle growth-related issues. She is an asset to the
community and will be an asset to the Commission.
Sincerely,
Lorre F. Jay
Bozeman Resident
