Comments
I am formally commenting on the need for local city compliance laws around the issue of being bear-safe. There is a
gross lack of knowledge and understanding of the issue of bears and human-residential attractants and the city is
not doing its job to keep both us (residents) and the local wildlife safe. #1: Property Managers need to be required
to provide bear-resistant canisters to their tenants and/or put verbiage in their lease regarding the issue so that
their newcomer tenants arrive KNOWING how to be responsible in bear-country. The exact same is true for ALL
landlords. #2: Developers of new apartment complexes should be required to build secure outsie areas for
communal trash cans with fencing etc. and/or provide a bear-resistant canister, #3: the city of Bozeman needs to
make providing bear-resistant canisters to residents a priority item, #4: the city of Bozeman needs to prioritize new
local laws in support of trash responsibility or mandatory bear-resistant canister.
