RE: City of Bozeman Public Safety Facility
Dear Chairman White:
On Monday, April 23, 2018, the Bozeman City Commission voted to pursue a Bozeman public
safety facility (BPSF) consisting of facilities for the City's police, fire, and prosecution services,
victim services, and municipal court. On behalf of the City of Bozeman, I want to thank the
Gallatin County Commission for its patience as we worked through this important issue.
At this time, the Bozeman City Commission has not decided on the timing of an election to fund
construction and long-term maintenance of the BPSF but I am seriously considering
recommending the City Commission place these measures on the November 6, 2018 general
election ballot. I write to inquire whether the Gallatin County Commission, as stated in your
letter of January 26, 2018, still intends to place a bond and/or mill levy measure on this coming
fall's general election ballot. Please respond as soon as possible.
Again, I thank Gallatin County for its patience as the Bozeman City Commission worked through
