Commissioners' Administrative Public Meeting October 06, 2026

Missoula County Commissioners’ Administrative Public Meeting — October 6, 2026. Commissioners discussed a request to accept public road and utility easements for the Grant Creek Crossing development. They also approved, by motion, a 10-year maintenance agreement with the Montana Department of Transportation for South Avenue and part of Clemens Avenue, with an automatic 10-year renewal. The agreement covers county maintenance such as sidewalk care and snow plowing and supports the related Safe Streets for All project; construction is expected to begin in 2027. Commissioners also approved a reimbursement resolution authorizing debt for detention-center plumbing, with debt service included in the FY27 budget.

Public Works staff reported that county crews moved road millings from a DNRC gravel-pit site to Placid Creek Road and were completing site cleanup to end rental charges. The county had paid DNRC $13,000 in September and faced a $1,000 monthly fee; a future land-use license may be needed after gravel-pit reclamation. The county also considered a cooperation letter supporting an application to the Economic Development Administration for funding to develop a new economic-development, resilience, and recovery plan. No contract award or vendor selection was reported.
