Commissioners' Administrative Public Meeting May 19, 2026

The Missoula County Commissioners held an administrative public meeting on May 19, 2026. The meeting included public comments regarding timelines for two bridge projects, the Sunset Hill Bridge and the Lobo Street Bridge, though no detailed updates were provided as public works representatives were not present. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the approval and signing of closing documents related to a major financing transaction. The county is finalizing a borrowing of approximately $5.78 million, which includes funding a debt service reserve fund of $457,000 and covering issuance costs of about $84,000. The commissioners approved the documents and authorized funding to proceed, with bonds scheduled to be issued shortly thereafter.
