Greetings, Bozeman City Commissioners'
I send this email , in regard to current policy of the application process of licensing the 20
dispensary spots in Bozeman. The process is outlined in the Application, but the application
process is really difficult in the sense you will not accept the applications, until a viable license
has become available. I am under the impression that 10 Cleveland will not be reopening,
there Griffin Street location. I have been in touch with the location's landlord, and would like
to make a smooth transition, into the same location, with the same license . I do understand
the State DPPHS/MMP must first notify you of their license termination of 10 Cleveland before
you may accept a new application. I feel this process needs to be more transparent, and
flexible , as every year the MMP has changed. Now we are experiencing higher demand with
untethering, and most providers now have limited inventory, to be able to provide safe access
to medicine needed by patients. I believe that the city commission should move to accept and
file potential applications, and create a operating procedure for such application process. I
also would respectfully ask you, to receive and file my application, based upon the demand of
untethering , and the actual fact that 10 Cleveland has been shut down on their Griffin
location for over 3 weeks. Therefore , in all practicality , only 19 of 20 licensed are being
currently utilized . I very much appreciate your time, and hope to work with the City of
Bozeman, and Montana to continually improve our community, and well being.
With all respect
