Bozeman City Council adds First Responder Levy and Fire Station 4 Bond to Nov 2024 ballot
BOZEMAN, Mont. - The Bozeman City Council voted Tuesday to add the First Responder Levy and Fire Station 4 Bond to the November 2024 ballot. “We’re excited to see this issue be placed in the voter’s hands to decide,” Interim City Manager Chuck Winn said in a release from the City of Bozeman. “The fact is that we haven’t meaningfully added staff in these departments since the 2007 mill levy and we’re still operating with that same capacity even though Bozeman has nearly doubled in size. We also knew when we relocated Fire Station 2 we would need to fill the gap in service on the west side with a new fire station. These are important things for residents to know and weigh as they make their decision.”
