To the Commissioners,
I am formally submitting my personal comments on two significant changes the city commissioners are discussing
at the next needing. I fully support the recommendations of the Gallatin Valley Sentinel.and believe these
recommendations are well thought out and duly represent a large percentage of our Bozeman community.
I am advocating for the city commission to hold a special election when a commission seat opens due to a seat being
vacated for any reason with the remaining term exceeding 10 months. This option gives a voice to the entire voting
public.
I fully support the establishment of WARDS.
I do not support the positions of Mayor and Deputy Mayor or any other commission member to be hired as an
employee of the city nor be paid. Full time salary as this will significantly limit the person(s) who will consider
running for the seats.
I hope ALL of the current commissioners will take my voice into serious consideration, as I believe it will best serve
the voting public in Bozeman.
