My name is Peter Dykema. I live in Gallatin County. I am concerned
about the commissions activities outside of the city limits.
Specifically, I am opposed to your using public offices, staff
time, and city platforms to lobby a private county landowner—
pressuring them to sell their property located outside the
Bozeman city limits at an unfair, below-market price to Tenants
United.
Further I implore the commission to rescind or retract any public
statement supporting Tenants United, reaffirm the City’s
commitment to neutrality in private market transactions, prohibit
future use of city resources to lobby on behalf of non-
governmental or activist organizations and
refocus on the Commission’s core responsibilities — fiscal
management, infrastructure, and fair representation for the
residents who fund city operations.
Respectfully,Peter Dykema
