What does this mean for Bluetooth speakers during afternoon picnics?Â
Becky Goodrich, communications specialist with Missoula Parks and Recreation, said this isn t about a person playing a small Bluetooth speaker quietly at a picnic table for his or her immediate friends. The permit is more targeting things like concerts, rallies and other large public events.Â
It s already been a policy through Missoula Parks and Recreation for decades. Now, they re asking to add it to the municipal code to make it easier for law enforcement to protect the rights of other park users and folks living near the park.Â
Recreation Superintendent Shirley Kinsey said if passed, enforcement would be complaint driven.Â
