Pike inquires who would like to serve and asks that they explain what makes them most qualified

Baun states he likes the idea of rotating Council members to serve as President. He has served on
a variety of Committees/Commission in Ada County and with the City of Eagle. Baun assisted in
developing the 2007 and 2017 Eagle Comprehensive Plans and was contracted by the City of Eagle
for 12 years to review plans relative to natural resources. He has served on the Council for one
year has been involved in the creation of the BLM Concept Plan Work Group and Farmland
Preservation Group and has also been working with irrigation districts to develop non-motorized
transportation systems. He feels like he is qualified to fill the position.
Pittman states he would like to serve another year as the arrival of the COVID-19 virus has impeded
his duties this year. He doesn't feel that he truly had the opportunity to work with the Mayor and
staff the way he had hoped due to the pandemic. He would like to work with the Mayor and Council
to propose what the duties of the Council President and Pro-Tem provide to the City. Pittman is
proud a Veteran of the United States Military and has served on the City Council for three years.
He is very accessible as his Eagle based business is five minutes from City Hall and has yet to miss
a meeting of the City Council. Pittman has attended, and would make himself available to attend,
ribbon cuttings, grand openings, Chamber of Commerce luncheon to be the representative for the
City of Eagle. He feels he listens well with the community and staff.
