Members of the City Commission,
I'm writing in support of appointing Jason Delmue of the Bozeman CityCommission at your June 4, 2024 meeting.
I've had the privilege of knowing Jason through his involvement on the
former City Bicycle Advisory Board; our current shared participation on theCommunity Development Board; and as a friend and a neighbor.
Jason cares deeply about the community and is solutions-oriented. For
example, when a disabled neighbor had difficulty keeping his sidewalksclear two winters ago, Jason took it upon himself to lead and organize
other volunteers to pitch in and clear his sidewalks. As I understand it,
Jason's initiative became the basis of the city's "Snow Angels" program.
Jason is a wonderful combination of being both well-informed and also
open minded and deliberative in his approach. He's always curious, and
always looking to understand the other side of an issue (something that I
admire in Jason and aspire to better emulate). I think Jason's approach togathering information and building consensus would be an asset to the
Commission's deliberation and decision making.
One desirable attribute in a City Commission appointee is someone whocan step in and quickly fill the role. In this regard, Jason is very well
qualified. Jason is thoroughly acquainted with the role of City
Commissioner and has been a close observer of the Commission for years.
Jason is also highly knowledgeable of the arcane land use and planningprocesses and decisions that are central to the role of the City
Commission. I think Jason would make an excellent Commissioner!
Thank you for your consideration,
Mark Egge
