intended to serve as opposition to the proposed resolution. It is unfortunate that the Bozeman City
Commission refuses to find a solution to this situation, and instead chooses to normalize homelessness in our

hundreds of people living on our streets in their cars. The fact that businesses have resorted to suing the City
in order to get you to follow your own rules should tell you our feelings on the situation. Please take this
situation seriously and table Resolution 5650 and make a motion to reinstate and enforce the ordinances that
were in place prior to the Supreme Court ruling that was recently overturned.
