Members of the City Commission,
I'm writing in support of Emma Bode's appointment of the Bozeman CityCommission at your June 4, 2024 meeting.
I've had the privilege of knowing Emma through years of her involvement
on city boards and with local community organizations. I am consistentlyimpressed by Emma's commitment to making Bozeman a better place, her
leadership in community organizations and on the city's Sustainability
Board, and her thoughtful and inclusive approach to forming opinions and
making recommendations.
I am confident that, as a City Commissioner, Emma will help the city
better meet the challenges that face us as a community, whether it be
housing affordability, water availability, reducing our contributions toclimate change (while mitigating its local impacts), and building a more
equitable and inclusive city.
The current appointment process provides an opportunity for the CityCommission to enrich its ranks to better represent the diversity and
demographics of the city. Emma would represent a demographic and lived
experience that is currently underrepresented in a city where half of
residents are 28 or younger and 60% of residents are renters.
Thank you for your consideration,
Mark Egge1548 S Grand Ave
