This comment is in regards to G.4. on the consent agenda at the August 5 meeting.
Dear Commission,
Please remove G.4 from the consent agenda. The selected consultant actually proposed an
under-budget proposal ($42,000 budget) and part of their pitch was, "competitive pricingdelivers exceptional value while providing the City of Bozeman with significant budget savings
of $8,000."Now the updated budget in G.4. is $70,000, which is $20,000 over the budget that the City
Commission approved on June 10 when the Commision voted to amend the annual budget.
The public deserves to hear justification from each of the members of the Commission whymore tax dollars should go towards this ballot education, especially over any other water
conservation and affordable housing efforts.
Thank you for your consideration,Natsuki Nakamura
