Director Hasler summarized the need: “It looks like there's one, in the amount of $7,500 out of the general fund, Treasurer's Office need to get out of the red and put some in for the last tax bill sent in to cover the cost of 3 new printers.” The committee chair asked whether there were any questions; none were recorded.

The transcript records no motion, second, or roll-call vote related to the $7,500 transfer. The meeting record proceeds to a motion to adjourn. Because no formal action is recorded in the transcript, the transfer should be treated as discussed only rather than approved or adopted.

The discussion was brief and no directives for further reporting or follow-up were recorded in the minutes available in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July 16, Finance & Budget Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members reviewed a proposed $7,500 transfer from the general fund to the Treasurer's Office to cover three new printers used for the last tax billing; the transcript shows discussion but does not record a motion or vote on the transfer.","taxTitle","Silver Bow County, Montana","taxId",29956,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":42,"_43":77,"_45":77,"_46":78,"_48":79,"_50":80,"_52":81,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":82,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":83,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6168363,"Finance and Budget Committee approves two expenditure lists; members note large filtration-system claim",166000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5407974-f129089d1d89aa2f7023fc0cc062fa01&start=166&end=166","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5407974-f129089d1d89aa2f7023fc0cc062fa01/thumbnail_166000.jpg","/articles/6168363/Silver-Bow-County/Montana/Finance-and-Budget-Committee-approves-two-expenditure-lists-members-note-large-filtration-system-claim","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168363-43c392150bae780993c55d20cc3c5af1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770558560&Signature=J5VXV5boKwHgWHVk9fDQnsMXJp0Z-yGXSEmVWZOj4OwC0n4o9~TyLZMnDKOxnbGjsNRaMp7HOsFuIB2YA~Gq2pOQJp0pnP9spbh6E7g2DhNcGF-DsH1lMqmYEL9jh6rGd0e3zqgL2iVnUNymyJ7PF4p4WcKWbIIUoJ9RZG8nagj23KeqvkETUb5GL0FiDElGiqVAGO8ddMnw6-EcYSIFIGdTVOsv5h2ydKGY79tbQRM0dU~HUUAW9YQ~e8YZb~UumMxdFdDPe1ldhY9H1-Pg2v68bkQaN2-zfVWPKqRuOEYbk5f1FscKHjOYTT3x9kLua9u~Mbyxl6aDe2hmbjHllQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Finance and Budget Committee approved two expenditure lists during a July 16, 2025 meeting, voting 6–0 to accept a prior fiscal year list totaling $1,087,994.48 and voting 6–0 to accept a current fiscal year list totaling $2,988,062.78.

The committee recorded that a substantial portion of the prior-year total came from one large claim. Director Hasler said that “roughly half of that is related to one claim to Wigan Corporation, providing the new filtration system at the molten water treatment plant,” and characterized the claim as “out of the ordinary.”

The significance of the single claim was raised as part of general review of the expenditure report. Commissioner O'Neil prompted the summary that isolated the Wigan Corporation claim as the major, atypical item in the prior fiscal year list.

Commissioner O'Leary asked a separate, specific question about claim 10807, which appeared on page 15 of the report and was listed under public works for a “weed sprayer for parks and rec.” Director Hasler confirmed that the line item “is actually a piece of equipment” and said he believed the parks department would operate it rather than the weed department, which “has their own equipment that they use for spray.”

A motion to approve the prior fiscal year expenditure list was made by Commissioner Shea and was seconded; the motion passed 6 to 0. Commissioner Shea then moved that the committee review and approve the current fiscal year expenditure list; that motion was seconded and passed 6 to 0.

The meeting included no further discussion of potential follow-up reporting or additional detail on the Wigan Corporation claim, and no additional actions were recorded on the expenditure items before adjournment.","The Finance and Budget Committee on July 16 approved expenditure lists for the prior and current fiscal years, recording unanimous 6–0 votes and noting that roughly half of the prior-year total reflects a single large claim for a new filtration system.","actionData","errors"]
