Dear City Commission,
As a resident of the Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD) on S. 3rd Avenue near the
University, I’m writing to request you DO NOT raise parking permit fees in my neighborhood.
Please do not increase the Parking Permit Fee to $35, but instead use the surplus resultingfrom parking permit fees and finesto decrease fees to $20 or $25. Please require Parking
Services to follow the RPPD Ordinance and its intent, using both parking permits and finesfrom MSU/BHS RPPDs as revenue to balance the cost of operating these RPPDs. These fines
are intended to help finance the RPPDs and should not be a “Cash Cow” for Parking Services.
This is yet another City fee that contributes to the ever-increasing cost of living within the Citylimits of Bozeman. If you are serious about keeping housing affordable, you will not vote for
an increase in the park Permit Fee. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Kind regards,Angella Ahn
