Honorable Mayor Cunningham, Deputy Mayor Morrison, Commissioner Madgic andCommissioner Fischer:
I understand that you will be selecting someone to fill the vacant commission seat atTuesday’s commission meeting. I am traveling and unable to attend the meeting, but wouldlike to share my thoughts.
I am pleased that so many individuals submitted applications. You have an excellent slate tochoose from. Three of those individuals I have worked with as a volunteer on severalimportant city issues. They are: Emily Talago, Alison Sweeney, and Jason Delmue. I believeall three would be excellent City commissioners. All three have been dedicated citizenvolunteers. Each is intelligent, each is a good listener, each is a cooperator and a hard worker.Each has a good understanding of the UDC and the needs facing the city at this criticaljuncture. I.
I do believe the commission would be best served by adding another woman. I also think thatadding someone who does not live on the south side, as all the current commissioners do,would be a good addition to the mix.
That said, it is difficult for me to make a single recommendation as I very much respect andadmire all three of these candidates.
I trust you will listen to their presentations as well as comments from other citizens and makethe best decision for our city.
With my best,Amy Kelley Hoitsma
