Email: agenda@bozeman.net Mail to: Attn: City Commission PO Box 1230 Bozeman, MT 59771 First Name Natalie Last Name Adams Email Address natalieadams1219@gmail.com Phone Number 9492002315 Comments I am writing to you as a concerned resident and hope you will help clean up the Bozeman Pond area. Over the past few months the pond has become a homeless encampment. There are tents scattered throughout the park area where children play, fish and families take walks. The tents are dirty, smell of urine and filled with trash. There are adult males using drugs and alcohol as well. This has become an unsafe place for the community. I no longer feel safe to take walks alone and I now notice families are not at the pond as much because the tents are growing in numbers and this is not a place for children to be sadly. This issue is only going to continue to get worse and it cannot be ignored any longer. There was also a shooting of two people on 4th of July and the community has had no information or reassurance this matter is being taken seriously. Many city officials prefer to ignore homeless encampments and allow them to grow and become a serious safety hazard. I moved from CA for that very reason and sad to see Bozeman following the same path. The tents need to me removed and forbidden at the park The park needs to be cleaned of trash and drug paraphernalia The shooting needs to be addressed and the public needs more information as to what the city is doing to keep that area safe from crime I beg you to do something so our community can be as the website says the most livable place. Please keep Bozeman safe and clean.
