Top 10 Intersting People

Dear Cayley,

In this letter I’ve decided to talk to you about Bozeman government. Every year there are approximately 13,000 registered voters. Our new city mayor is Jeffery Kraus. He’s a fantastic mayor. The number of city commissioners is now five. Usually people think that city commissioners have a secretary. They hire the city manager. The city manager’s name is Chris Kukulski. A city commissioner is elected for four years. The city manager is in charge of the police department, fire department, public work, cemetery and parks. The biggest problem facing Bozeman is growth. One more thing if you are interested in going to a city commission meeting they’re at 6 p.m. on Mondays. That’s my letter to you.

Sincerely,
Courtney
