The Senior Citizens Advisory Board discussed the appointment of Frank Schledorn to this Board at our
meeting today, April 1, 2009.
There were 4 of the 6 members present and each of us believes he will be a good member. He resides
at the Bozeman Lodge Senior Living Facility and will fill the specification that one of our members be
from a Senior Living Facility. This does not imply that he represents these facilities, only that he will be
familiar with senior issues that may affect these residents of Bozeman.
Consequently, we support his confirmation as a member of the Senior Citizens Advisory Board.
Submitted by Kenneth Tiahrt, Chairperson, Bozeman Senior Citizens Advisory Board.
