All Community Council Town Hall April 22, 2026

The Missoula County All Community Council Town Hall held on April 22, 2026, focused primarily on the county's comprehensive plan update process. The presentation detailed the plan's role in establishing long-range land use visions, guiding principles, and future land use maps, emphasizing that the plan is non-regulatory but foundational for potential future zoning decisions. The update process, expected to span through 2028, includes extensive public engagement, community profiles, surveys, and open houses to gather input from various communities. Additionally, the meeting addressed funding and reporting procedures for community councils, clarifying the new process for fiscal year 2027 where councils will be tracked to a $1,000 funding threshold. Discussions also covered community council member applications and appointment processes. No specific contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were discussed, but the comprehensive plan update and funding process changes could influence future procurement and regulatory activities related to land use and infrastructure.
