I understand The City of Bozeman will be voting on an ordinance, August 8th which would require that campers
move every five days to a different location. The ordinance would also forbid camping adjacent to residences,
schools and daycares. I live at Sundance at Baxter Meadows Apartments on Galloway Street and I understand the
ordinance could potentially help remove the campers from Kimberwicke, Vaquero, Galloway and Caspian. I am
urging the city to please pass this ordinance. The noise pollution from the generators running 24/7 is unbearable and
the trash and all kinds of stuff surrounding the vehicles is out of control and hazardous to the environment. We have
people who are not actually homeless taking advantage of free parking and not having to pay a dime to live on our
streets. These people have roofs over their heads and are basically just hanging out. I feel very unsafe and am upset
that this problem is continually getting worse each passing day. Please do something.
A very concerned citizen and tenant,
Kathy Tatum
