Mary,
Of course! I should have given more detail in that memo. The workshop format is roundtables and poster
session meant to be interactive, to give as many people a chance to participate as possible. There will be no
presentation from staff or consultants to record. By noticing the meeting on the agenda, the Park Board
members can attend.

Thank you for your interest. The public workshop on Thursday evening is one of several opportunities for thepublic to give comment. It is being held Thursday after Urban Parks and Forestry Board out of convenience,but there will be 2 more evening workshops in January and a virtual workshop at noon on January 6.
Additionally, there is a public survey out right now posted at the project website(engage.Bozeman.net/bikefill). Once January workshop dates are final the details will be available there.

Dear City Comments page, Mitch Overton, Addi Jadin, and Chuck Winn,
A. Call to Order - 6:00 PM
I have read the notice for the Urban Parks and Forestry Meeting to be held Thursday, Dec. 18 this week, andam interested to hear about the plans for the Bikefill project. Unfortunately, I saw in the PDF link to the
Bikefill project, that this part of the meeting would NOT be recorded. Bikefill Community Bike Park Visioning
Workshop(Jadin). I am not sure why this would be, and am saddened by this. I doubt that I can make it to
this meeting, but I am interested in hearing more about the project. Can this be recorded so that I mightwatch after the meeting?Thank you so much for reconsidering this! Sincerely, Mary BatesonBozeman Resident and bike rider
