# Oct. 30, 2026 Fall Board Leadership Training with Dan Clark Meeting Recording


**Body:** Missoula County
**Date:** November 04, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

Missoula County Fall Board Leadership Training with Dan Clark, recorded Nov. 4, 2026 (the meeting title references Oct. 30), focused on board members’ legal and operational responsibilities. The trainer reviewed Montana’s public-meeting requirements, adequate notice and agendas, public participation, quorum and electronic communications, minutes, records retention, and balancing public access with individual privacy. Participants also discussed practical ways to handle public comment and communicate with residents while preserving transparent records and avoiding un noticed deliberations.

No procurement decisions, contract awards, bid approvals, or spending votes were identified. A fire-truck purchase in the $300,000–$350,000 range was used as a hypothetical example of how to provide specific meeting notice and explain a proposed decision; it was not presented as an actual Missoula County purchase or action item.
