To the City Manager, Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Commissioners,
Please remove item F6. from the consent agenda for October 28th, and do NOT approve this
contract. Please have the Historic Preservation Advisory Board review the materials submitted by each
applicant for this contract.
The Lakota Group does not appear to have any member of their team that meets the Secretaryof the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards.
Bozeman residents want protections for the NCOD and historic districts, including design
guidelines. Please ensure that the consultant hired has the proper qualifications andexperience to deliver that outcome. Until the consultant demonstrates proper qualifications
they should not be granted this contract. Perhaps a different applicant was more qualified. Ifnot, the search needs to be opened again.
Thank you,
Mary Bateson, Bozeman resident
