| Ann Mygatt Profession:
Attorney, wife, mother & grandmother. Political Affiliation: Democrat Reason for getting involved in LUC: I believe in the democratic process, and believe that with group action we can effect positive changes in our local government. |
 |
| This group is dedicated to the
ideals of citizen participation, and is enthusiastic, focussed on positive action and
governmental accountability to the people. I believe we can make a difference in how land
use decisions are made in Boulder County. I am currently in Site Plan Review, and only recently learned about land use practices in Boulder County, how difficult and expensive the process has been made to build a modest house in the mountains: The land use regulations and the way they are applied here have made it prohibitive for the average person to build, and impossible for many. The attitude on the part of the County seems to be: "If you don't like it, sue us", and the land use staff makes little or no attempt to alleviate the distress of the landowner who is often ground to dust by the bureaucratic process. Interest and Affiliations: Boulder County Bar Association, Colorado Bar Association, Colorado Bar Foundation, Interdisciplinary Committee on Child Custody (Board of Directors), Penfield Tate Inn of Court, former member of POSAC.

| Kevin Probst Profession:
Engineer, Scientist and Entrepreneur in High Tech Areas. Reason for getting involved in LUC: One of the foundations of our freedom in America is the right of individuals to own and control private property. When government undermines that right by intimidation, unfair and subjective regulations and heavy handed policies, it undermines our freedom. |
 |
| I do not want our community to be
governed by petty bureaucrats who create an atmosphere of intimidation and fear. Interests and other affiliations: Hiking, skiing, fishing, writing and performing guitar music and songs, Scrabble, landscaping, officer in the Air Force Reserves, pilot, dad.
