Commissioners' Public Meeting June 04, 2026

The Missoula County Commissioners held a public meeting on June 4, 2026, which included several procurement and land use discussions. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of a resolution to create Rural Special Improvement District (RSID) 8450 for paving and improvements to Morgan Lane and Mustang Lane, with a total construction cost of $289,378. The district will finance the improvements through bonds secured by the county's revolving fund. Additionally, the board considered and approved a resolution to exempt detached residential accessory storage structures from building permit requirements, aligning with practices in most Montana counties and aiming to reduce regulatory burdens while maintaining health and planning oversight. The meeting also addressed a subdivision exemption request for boundary line relocations involving approximately 708 acres of land owned by Petty Creek Mountain Ranch LLC, which was approved to improve land management without increasing the number of lots. Public comments included support and concerns regarding building permit exemptions and construction safety. No other contract awards or vendor selections were discussed.
