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 Sent from EarthLink Mobile mail
