Hello City Manager, Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Commissioners, I'm writing to you
today to request that you remove item F6. from the Commissioners consent agenda
for October 28th, and do NOT approve this contract. The Lakota Group does not
appear to have any member of their team that meets the Secretary of the Interior's
Professional Qualifications Standards. The Historic Preservation Advisory Board
should have been asked to review the materials submitted by each applicant for this
contract. It's not too late to ask them to do that. Bozeman residents want strongerprotections for the NCOD and our historic districts, including these design guidelines.
This consultant lacks the proper qualifications and experience to deliver that outcome
for residents. Until they can demonstrate proper qualifications they should not be
granted this contract. Perhaps a different applicant was more qualified. If not, thesearch needs to be opened again. Thank you,
Mike Herring
