Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
I fully support the 2020/2021 City budget as proposed, especially the proposed police
budget. There are entities who suggest using police funding for social services, housing and
other programs. I oppose this and fully support your budget and our police.
Social services in Bozeman are handled by:
our police - domestic violence
HRDC - warming shelter
Family Promise
Haven
Love, Inc
and other entities listed at the Community Links site of HRDC
Housing:
HRDC - low income housing assistance and and their home building projects
Habitat for Humanity of Gallatin Valley - building affordable housing for low income
families
The folks who would re-allocate police funding to other areas should engage with the
entities listed above to work together to solve perceived injustices.
Thank you,
Scott
