Hello TIF Advisory Board members:
I'm sorry I was unable to attend yesterday's meeting because of a dentist appointment. But I
am happy Jason Delmue was able to attend and comment, and perhaps clear up some
miscommunication.
I need to apologize to David Fine and Jesse DiTomasso for my comment implying that they
have somehow not been honoring the wishes of the NE neighborhood vis-a-vis our NURD TIF
priorities. In fact, they have been very responsive to the neighborhood and have engaged me
and other core members multiple times. The truth is I somehow missed or forgot the
December email from Jesse in which she did communicate regarding a potential pocket park
north of Tamarack in the N. Church ROW.
Thank you for your creative solution to preserve an option along the creek north of Tamarack
as well as to keep flexible what—if anything—might happen south of Tamarack.
As Jason indicated,NENA is very interested in having more conversation with the City and
the Bozeman Creek Vision Plan partners about improving this parcel of land to create a new
green space highlighting Bozeman Creek. Also relevant will be recent information regarding
the Light Conversion project.
Thank you.
With my best,
Amy KelleyHoitsma,NENA President
