Chairman Morgan called for the vote and the clerk recorded the tally as nine yeas and zero nays.

Commissioner Thatcher moved to place communication 2025‑48 on file and cross reference it with resolution 2025‑08; the motion passed by recorded vote 9‑0. The agenda states the grant would add $750,000 in unanticipated revenue to the FY24‑25 budget; the item is tied to a Judiciary Committee resolution (2025‑08) noted on the agenda. Karen Burns was listed as the contact for questions about the item.

Separately, commissioners addressed a separate budget matter described in the meeting as the “community change grant.” The clerk recorded language authorizing a public hearing on Feb. 19 to consider amending the FY24‑25 budget to allow increased expenditures of unanticipated revenue in the amount of $20,000,000. Meeting remarks state the council will “continue to hold this in abeyance pending the February 19 date,” and Chief Executive Gallagher said the grant is to allow the county to expend the money once the budget amendment is completed.

Public Works Director Mark Neary asked the council to schedule a bid opening on Feb. 19 for hot‑mix asphalt for the Roads Division; that item was placed in abeyance pending the Feb. 19 meeting as well.

No ordinance or statute was cited for any of these administrative actions in the portions of the transcript provided. The council closed the meeting with a motion to adjourn; the Feb. 19 meeting was repeatedly identified as the next date for further action on the items discussed.

County Attorney Enruth told commissioners the funds would “go to improve the court specifically with regards to treatment options for the individuals that were that are in them,” including counseling, alcohol monitoring and alcohol or drug testing. He said the Veterans Court primarily serves as a felony treatment court for veterans, while the DUI court aims to prevent participants from receiving a felony DUI by providing treatment and monitoring for repeat offenders.

The hearing drew one proponent, Bridal Frost, who gave her name and address for the record and said, “I think you should pass this.” The communication to schedule the public hearing was submitted by Mike Clegg, Deputy County Attorney, according to the agenda item.

A motion was made and seconded to place communication 2025‑54 on file and to cross-reference it with a resolution; the meeting transcript records the motion but does not include a final recorded vote on that motion. The staff report and public comment were the substantive discussion recorded in the transcript.

If commissioners proceed, the $10,000 would be added to the FY24‑25 budget as unanticipated revenue and used for testing equipment, monitoring and outside counseling as described by County Attorney Enruth. No ordinance, statutory citation or additional implementing language was identified in the hearing record available in the transcript.

The item will return to the council for any further formal action recorded in subsequent meetings.","The county held a Feb. 12 public hearing on amending the FY24‑25 budget to accept $10,000 from the state of Montana to support treatment, monitoring and testing for participants in the Veterans Treatment Court and the DUI Court; a motion to place the communication on file was made but the transcript does not record a final vote.","actionData","errors"]
