BACKGROUND: This November, Bozeman voters will decide on two critical public safety issues: a construction bond to build a fourth Fire Station, and a mill levy to fund additional first responders. This presentation will help provide more information on why these issues are appearing on the ballot and what the impacts of passage or failure will be. If the mill levy and bond both pass, the First Responder levy would fund 6 officers a year for 5 years along with 22 firefighters which would help staff a fourth Fire Station. The Fire Station #4 bond would fund all costs associated with building and equipping the new station to serve the fast-growing West side of town. The addition of Fire Station #4 and increased staffing in both Departments would help improve response times and the levels of service provided. Additionally, the funding would allow: Bozeman Police to form a dedicated Traffic Unit Bozeman Fire to add a Quick Response Unit An increased capacity for Bozeman Police to adequately conduct investigations and any required follow-up Public safety is a joint effort between Bozeman Police and Bozeman Fire. Bozeman can expect enhanced community preparedness, risk reduction, and an improved sense of safety should both the levy and bond pass. If these efforts don't pass, the City will not be able to add these items through the 18 regular budget process and Bozeman can expect to notice: Response times becoming progressively longer Further prioritization of call responses by both Police and Fire Mounting traffic issues and decline in road safety The Downtown BID has a line item in the FY25 work plan and budget for a Downtown Safety Program ($5,000). The board would like to begin planning alongside the Bozeman Police Department for a dedicated downtown resource officer as the needs of the downtown community shift. This will take several years to establish and would eventually be a split salary funding by downtown and BPD. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None ALTERNATIVES:None FISCAL EFFECTS:If both efforts pass, the average single-family homeowner will pay less than $35 per month.
