Dear City of Bozeman
Here is my letter regarding my concerns over the Taproom liquor license.

City of Bozeman,
I'm writing to express my concern regarding the Taproom's application for a Conditional Use Permit to obtain
a full liquor license. Many parents are already concerned about the negative impact the Taproom has on the
children attending school at Hawthorne Elementary. Since the Bar operates during school hours it is likely to
set a bad example to kids with people openly drinking and exiting the bar drunk. That said, customers
leaving the bar may drive home and that is cause for concern since kids frequently cross Rouse &
Mendenhall, the two streets that Hawthorne Elementary and the Taproom share.
According to Montana State Law, alcohol should not be sold within 600 feet of a school, and on the same
street as a building used as a school.
Please do not allow the Taproom to obtain a liquor license for their establishment and be considerate of the
children attending the school directly across the street.
Sincerely,
Chris Murphy
Principal
