Dear Bozeman Government Study Commission,
I'm a resident of the Figgins neighborhood in Bozeman and I believe that resident
participation in local government is an essential part of living in a democratic society.
It's my understanding that Deputy Mayor Douglas Fisher is requesting Article VII be removedfrom the City Charter. I OPPOSE this and am disgusted at Fisher for backtracking on his
campaign promises to promote collaborative government.
Please keep our Neighborhood Associations, the Inter Neighborhood Coucil, and VolunteerAdvisory Boards in the City Charter via keeping Article VII. They are essential in shaping
Bozeman into a healthy, functioning society as we grow and develop.
Thank you,
Alexis Alloway
