Good afternoon,
I am reaching out to voice my opinion and experience regarding the upcoming vote on the camper ordinance.
My husband and I have lived in our home in Bozeman for 4 years now, we have a 2 year old who we spend the
majority of our time with outside. It’s frustrating and disheartening that campers have moved into our
neighborhood. It makes me feel uncomfortable walking with my family by these campers as I am uncertain as to the
personnel occupying them and the safety of my family. I also am concerned as we have an HOA who takes pride in
caring for our parks and I have the concern for sanitation, these campers have to be using our parks for their
bathroom needs and by default there is unwanted trash.
For the intent of keeping Bozeman clean, safe, and a desirable place to live, I urge you to vote in favor for the
ordinance requiring campers to move every 5 days including forbidding camping adjacent to residences, schools, or
daycares.
Kindly,
Kelsi Schram
