BCC Commissioners' Administrative Public Meeting April 21, 2026

The Missoula County Board of Commissioners held an administrative public meeting on April 21, 2026, during which they discussed contract signing policies and a significant land restoration project. The commissioners reviewed a contract related to a 60-acre forest restoration project in the PTOAC Valley, adjacent to state land and other conservation efforts, funded through a grant with targets for acreage restoration. They addressed procedural matters regarding contract approvals, noting that contracts under $25,000 can be signed by the Office of Emergency Management director, while larger contracts require commissioner signatures and legal review. The board approved the consent agenda, including the contract and a resolution authorizing Commissioner Strommy's signature on the project plan, emphasizing collaboration with private landowners and the importance of restoring fire-adapted landscapes.
