Dear Mayor & City Commissioners. Jan 11, 2008
This email will just remind you that after the revision of our "existence ordinance" this past fall, this Senior
Advisory Board will be composed of 7 persons when fully staffed.
1current member has not requested to be reappointed (Garber).
2 members are being carried forward (Kress and Gutkoski).
2 members are asking to be reappointed (Phillips and Tiahrt).
2 new members have made application (Pierre and Mangun) Ted Mangun, if appointed, will be the one
member living outside Bozeman.
1 additional member will be recruited from formal senior living facilities within Bozeman and appointed at
a later time.
I believe that all of these people, including those being carried forward are well qualified and their past
involvement in community activities indicates that they will be strong and conscientious performers on this
Board.
Respectfully,
Ken Tiahrt, Senior Advisory Board Chair (2007-2008)
