Dear Government Study Commission,
I’m Emily Mason, recently elected Chair of the City of Bozeman’s Inter-Neighborhood
Council. On behalf of the INC, I would like to thank the Government Study Commission forkeeping and strengthening the section about Neighborhood Associations and the Inter
Neighborhood Council in Article 8 of the draft amended Charter. Because NeighborhoodAssociations and the Inter-Neighborhood Council are essential to a well-functioning local
government and robust democracy, their role should be protected in the Charter to ensure theircontinuity and independence from changing political and administrative priorities.
Thank you for your service to our community.
Respectfully,
Emily K. Mason
Chair, Figgins Addition Neighborhood Association
Chair, Inter-Neighborhood Council
