Memorandum
REPORT TO:Bozeman Downtown Business Improvement District Board
FROM:Jim Veltkamp
Josh Waldo
SUBJECT:Safety First: First Responder Mill Levy and Fire Station 4 Bond
MEETING DATE:October 16, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Listen to presentation, ask questions
STRATEGIC PLAN:1.1 Outreach: Continue to strengthen and innovate in how we deliver
information to the community and our partners.
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. Check out the Residential Property Tax Calculator to see a
more precise breakdown of how this might impact your taxes.

We’re here to talk about:
•How Bozeman’s growth has impacted our public
safety departments
•How this levy/bond will help and why it’s needed now
•What you’ll see on your ballot
•Any questions you may have
21
History
2007 – Last added a fire station
2007 – Last added significant staffing
to public safety teams
What’s Changed?
+20,000 new residents
+90 miles of roadway
From 2007 to 2023,
Bozeman’s population
increased by 51%
From 2007 to 2024,
miles of roadway
increased by 44%
22
What’s on the ballot?
Q1: Fire Station 4 Bond Q2: First Responder Mill Levy
To build and equip a new fire station
on the west side of town
Hire 30 police officers,
22 firefighters and 11 nonsworn staff
over five years 23
Why a fourth fire station?
•Response times are nearly
four minutes too long
•Cardiac arrest survival rates
drop 10% per minute
•Fire doubles in size every 60
seconds
•Adds capacity
•QRU – Quick Response Unit
•ERF – Effective Response Force
10 MINUTES:
BFD’s current
response time
6 MINUTES:
BFD’s adopted
response time
24
Why do we need more officers?
•Growth: more calls, crimes, cases, and roads
•Capacity: Can have as few as 3-4 patrol officers, often going call-to-call
•Investigations: Felony follow-up up more complex and time-consuming
