The resolution, as described in the meeting, supports a proposed Kalispell bypass from U.S. 93 to Airport Road.

Pete Olnick, speaking for the county, said the city applied for a RAISE grant last year but did not receive funding and is reapplying. Olnick noted the project involves multiple jurisdictions and maintenance responsibilities: the roadway is a United States highway, the state of Montana performs much of the maintenance, and the city is partnering with state and federal interests to advance the bypass. “This is about a partnership between United States, the state of Montana who does the maintenance on much of the road, and the city of Kalispell,” Olnick said.

Commissioners moved and seconded consideration and adoption of Resolution 2626; the board approved the resolution by voice vote. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally. The resolution authorizes a county letter of support for the city’s RAISE grant reapplication for the US 93–Airport Road bypass project.

The action represents a formal expression of county support for the city’s federal grant application; the transcript contains no record of county funding commitments or follow-up conditions attached to the resolution.","Commissioners adopted Resolution 2626 supporting the City of Kalispell’s reapplication for a RAISE grant to fund a bypass from U.S. 93 to Airport Road, citing a multi-jurisdictional partnership.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6270827,"Flathead County approves letter supporting Lakeside Water and Sewer District DEQ permit",51,146000,197000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3031790-529ee85906ec901cc516fe81e9fba933&start=146&end=197","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3031790-529ee85906ec901cc516fe81e9fba933/thumbnail_146000.jpg","/articles/6270827/Flathead-County/Montana/Flathead-County-approves-letter-supporting-Lakeside-Water-and-Sewer-District-DEQ-permit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270827-64e0d035b1b05e32a301092ea0b55e2e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177752&Signature=asYKBxhBeE8UCVQrlfRNgkPWW-B80VXGUJrU8PKYPOseA6TJCpVMOoHyCffNi5oqrAlLKCcbPxh5BfIPHOeWn7ps30yX73sI0LoIozJwEn9NdcPvUowJgLXblFzg08PnyDuCn3npZS3cYeL3rHnLtKvoPYROPzpKpecve1M67baLh0mfza7PdsKy0M3UuhdKVRpOh1Tz2PSYQTg1AXP7HAlZ3PLAp70t--DV29ZgbLJtL1gqUFtra3YC2SeJYHwnkDvKEH~xeu5Jag2xKQvQnB4fvHzRRp~GFIuV~GUqKyNi3HXztwVnu2oRi1-IX4TV3oUgCzdhN01jcWiTWDV~8w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Flathead County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a letter of support for the Lakeside County Water and Sewer District’s Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) groundwater pollution control system permit application at its Jan. 2 meeting.

County Administrator Pete Mellon told commissioners the county has partnered with the Lakeside district on treating about 30,000 gallons of effluent produced in the valley and that the DEQ public-comment period for the permit application has been extended to Feb. 10. Mellon said Lakeside requested the letter of support “due to our partnership and, of course, solving a problem.”

A motion to authorize the signature of the letter of support was moved and seconded and then approved by voice vote. The record shows the board authorized signature of the letter of support to accompany the district’s permanent permit application to the DEQ.

The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or name the motion maker and seconder. The approval was limited to supporting the district’s permit application; no additional conditions or follow-up tasks were recorded in the board minutes excerpt.","County commissioners approved a letter of support for the Lakeside County Water and Sewer District’s Montana DEQ groundwater pollution control system permit application; the DEQ comment period was extended to Feb. 10.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6270831,"Flathead County commissioners choose Holmquist as chair, Abel as vice chair and keep current board assignments",132,0,132000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3031790-529ee85906ec901cc516fe81e9fba933&start=0&end=132","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3031790-529ee85906ec901cc516fe81e9fba933/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6270831/Flathead-County/Montana/Flathead-County-commissioners-choose-Holmquist-as-chair-Abel-as-vice-chair-and-keep-current-board-assignments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270831-25bf7c0289ed2797157100621f8985c4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177752&Signature=C9rX5~B-zHIrionbSNyHNnhAC-wAaPdyAw3JNjRitZ2bWJ-afP3l2PU~AFl5821w0MPoXwWFuTfBrApURFaOoFUhvDvm2ceoX8OaB1-S6TIgiQOc8IKPYlIeusFQLoVLg3o1YPHwZ6YkvfrH7ygceRKySOiIy~F4fe4T9ZF0nt8Zt5VFqneFSg58Jd0i3jNqJnKAoFaravBWYeVd1jDI~ackYOdz5FaaQOYjFn52CKFN-GOO5rJOzo9H5WCvBBTJzRlN6by~~mLypjbWD4~mL6L7~zOBM7DSyxLrw4lftOrY1eG4Km1DCcn12Pqktn1zH5xqD6X1X3lGXQ7QMQRYaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pam Holmquist was elected chair and Brad Abel was elected vice chair of the Flathead County Board of Commissioners during the board’s annual reorganization on Thursday, Jan. 2. The commissioners also voted to continue the existing assignments of commissioners to outside boards.

The reorganization is the board’s annual internal process to select leadership for the calendar year. County Administrator Pete Mellon opened the agenda item, describing it as the board’s yearly internal vote to select the chair and vice chair. There was no public comment before the votes.

Commissioners moved and seconded nominations for chair and vice chair. The board approved Holmquist as chair by voice vote; Holmquist said, “Appreciate the opportunity.” The board then approved Abel as vice chair by voice vote. Later in the meeting, the commissioners voted to continue with the current appointments to various boards without changes and recessed until 9:15 a.m.

The votes were recorded by voice; no roll-call tallies were read into the record. The motions were procedural and confined to the board’s internal organization for the coming year.

The reorganization and the decision to keep existing board appointments set leadership and external-representation responsibilities for the year. The board returned at 9:15 a.m. to continue other agenda items.","At the Jan. 2 reorganization meeting, commissioners elected Pam Holmquist chair and Brad Abel vice chair and voted to maintain existing commissioner appointments to outside boards.","actionData","errors"]
