RE: Business Advisory Board Appointment Recommendation
Dear Mayor Mendenhall:
The Department of Economic Development would like to recommend the reappointment of Jeff
Carleton, owner of Mountain West Cider, for a member position on the Business Advisory Board.
His current commission expires in January 2024. Jeff has brought incredible experience and
knowledge to the BAB over the past 4 years as a member of the Board and as Chair for the past
year. His experience is crucial to the work and policy recommendations from the Board. His
participation on the Board supports the efforts of the Economic Development Department.
He is willing to give extra time on the Board to attend City Council meetings and understand what
issues coming through the Council may impact the business community and will lend his voice in
relevant public meetings.
We strongly support Jeff’s application to the Business Advisory Board. Please find enclosed his
application and resume. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Will Wright
