Bozeman Daily Chronicle: The Bozeman City Commission overturned an ordinance allowing private advertising on city-owned vehicles Monday night.
In a 3-2 vote commissioners Kaaren Jacobson, Steve Kirchhoff and Jeff Rupp voted to overturn a previous ordinance allowing businesses to advertise on city-owned vehicles — specifically the city’s fleet of garbage trucks.
City Manager, Chris Kukulski, said advertising could have generated as much as $150,000 toward the city’s recycling program.
Since the city’s landfill was closed down, Kukulski said, the recycling program has been “in the red” by as much as $150,000.
“I’m not intending this as a way of cheapening the city,” Kukulski said. “I’d just like to try it.”
