Belonging in Bozeman decision-making tool
Summary
The city is building a structured set of questions to make sure policies, programs and budget decisions consider who benefits and who is burdened — students, renters, immigrants, people with disabilities and more. The board tested it on a real example and told staff it needs clearer criteria, a simpler format, and better data before it's rolled out.

Impact analysis
No fiscal effects were identified in the staff report.
If the tool works, city decisions would better account for groups that have historically been underheard — students, renters, low-income households, immigrants, and people with disabilities.
