Maddie Scott presented the slate of candidates. For the Seeley Lake Community Council, Scott said there were two openings: one active-member term through May 31, 2028, and one alternate term through May 31, 2026. Two applicants were interviewed: Charles Quinn Carver for the active position and Richard Weston for the alternate; the commissioners appointed both.

Scott also recommended Julie Reinhart for the first alternate position on the Missoula Food Policy Advisory Board for a term through Dec. 31, 2025; commissioners appointed her. Kylie Paul, a former Missoula County natural resources specialist who has worked with parks and trails at the county, was appointed to the Tom Gray Memorial Park advisory group, Scott said.

For the Swan Valley Fire Service Area, Scott said John Mercer applied to fill a partial term through 2027 and had previously served five terms. The board appointed Mercer to the vacant seat.

All appointments were moved and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the votes as \"Aye.\" Presenters noted that some terms are partial or near-term expirations; specific start dates and any required onboarding were not stated.

The appointments fill several advisory seats that county staff said help deliver local input on parks, food policy and fire-service governance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BCC Commissioners' Administrative Public Meeting July 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Missoula Board of County Commissioners on July 24 appointed members to multiple advisory boards and community councils, including the Seeley Lake Community Council, the Missoula Food Policy Advisory Board, the Tom Gray Memorial Park advisory group and the Swan Valley Fire Service Area.","taxTitle","Missoula County, Montana","taxId",4049,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6155458,"Commissioners approve trails bond for Rock Creek Confluence trail and parking improvements",211,1457000,1668000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5478434-fe972691e5b14ff67ebadb77f97f1992&start=1457&end=1668","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5478434-fe972691e5b14ff67ebadb77f97f1992/thumbnail_1457000.jpg","/articles/6155458/Missoula-County/Montana/Commissioners-approve-trails-bond-for-Rock-Creek-Confluence-trail-and-parking-improvements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155458-c1fc4abdf73d0c6088bfd48cc1979227/orig.mp4?Expires=1776142985&Signature=egdgEmsRck9YnR7tplFQ~4RTC36EigSsgRtwhf7uPNPUi7kD8ZG7V4~rr8zdd4z3jXFfmigQsGSLeyqQHGdh22mtazo9sxprKaywchLkxPvFsBqIa7YmjJ2Bme7ahadXIM12cXEgpSv57g63tZdqgdyPI5YRDj9S1QmoB3Prb8D0BmuDqRYTQZTs0njuyU2z~Mhbk4azSP-8F0ceo7hGrYGCdSwRyJEDMkrqHWqlCnTmbZmcYqUziB3JsYEc6IH3gRpGrXizSpa~TdL~YYVOxxENuCAbsCCSt2APO9KK5lS-Xq3rQwP8qkVhgw4m9rch7zcrud9FY60oS~vnvTYx7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Missoula Board of County Commissioners voted to approve a trails bond request from 5 Valleys Land Trust to fund trail and trailhead improvements at the Rock Creek Confluence property.

Nick Zanetis, presenting the item, said the 5 Valleys Rock Creek Confluence property is located off Rock Creek Road at the confluence of the Clark Fork River and Rock Creek and described planned improvements. \"The Trails Bond request here will fund 3 segments of trail,\" Zanetis said, and added the project includes parking-lot expansions on the east and west trailheads, a privacy partition to enable seasonal restroom facilities, and wayfinding signs and kiosks.

Commissioners asked for clarification about the small northeast trail segment; Zanetis said that route will formalize an existing social trail used by walk-in fishermen and improve organized river access. Zanetis also reported funds remaining in the parks-and-trails bond program: \"Taking this into account and a few of the projects we've had this summer, we're at about 1,600,000.0,\" he said.

A commissioner moved approval and the resolution passed by voice vote; the transcript records the vote as \"Aye.\" The presenter said the 3 new trail segments are intended to be built next summer or by the end of this fall.

The approved improvements aim to formalize informal routes to the river, expand parking capacity and add visitor information and restroom accommodations during the summer season. The county will work with 5 Valleys Land Trust on project timing and implementation.","The Missoula County commissioners approved a resolution to award trails bond funds to 5 Valleys Land Trust for trail segments and parking upgrades at the Rock Creek Confluence property; county staff said about $1.6 million remains in the parks and trails bond fund.",{"_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},6155463,"Missoula County posthumously honors Anne Dahl with 2025 Land Stewardship Award",1305,131000,1436000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5478434-fe972691e5b14ff67ebadb77f97f1992&start=131&end=1436","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5478434-fe972691e5b14ff67ebadb77f97f1992/thumbnail_131000.jpg","/articles/6155463/Missoula-County/Montana/Missoula-County-posthumously-honors-Anne-Dahl-with-2025-Land-Stewardship-Award","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155463-f8075f7126d38af1b40a62ae2a9e70c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1776142985&Signature=eu2-rx-xRqgTeSBzlg4YOsFNjYwm1VyJM7KXabObf6V8M-Y0varYPlTZndlQqq3lKJT2RwKKpbjCqR-FwC2iv9LKGqZUk7xrI2QcInLtMmM3Hj8pgMg~jgSX9Eftov3hP0zwCaCu8EniXT0jwWU7x~~iIIKo8K0Ovqv4DU3zMTtOn5neGkiV7KVlXLso~8-DstgzUPW47XOM7uGQ4lySezBDBPDjgF~IUGVTJJXt~AYmfmx5rmwW8yl~GWI-oWPhOmcjf7xOmC9EI1SX4luBiFaY72~vcDfewO6bvs~ZULxnQJrn95XBmC1Jx8JRTOULJKxzUEa2JnHIFIz7EpQ~pw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Missoula Board of County Commissioners on July 24 proclaimed Anne Dahl the recipient of the 2025 Missoula County Land Stewardship Award, honoring her lifetime of conservation work in the Swan Valley and beyond.

County Open Lands Manager Jenny Zazo introduced the nomination at the meeting; Sarah Holden, chair of the Missoula Open Lands Citizen Advisory Committee, told commissioners Dahl was the committee's unanimous recommendation. \"Anne Dahl is, our unanimously voted and recommended awardee of the 2025 Land Stewardship Award,\" Holden said.

The award recognized Dahl's long service to natural-resource projects and partnerships, presenters said. Helene Michael, an Open Lands Committee member, highlighted Dahl's co-founding and long leadership of the Swan Ecosystem Center and her role in establishing relationships with the U.S. Forest Service that supported local visitor services and stewardship. Luke Lamar, co-managing director of Swan Valley Connections and Dahl's nominator, recounted Dahl's work on the Elk Creek Conservation Area, conservation easements on private lands, and the Montana Legacy Project, noting the project's conservation of \"67,000 acres\" in the Swan and larger conservation across Western Montana.

Lamar also described a Forest Service partnership initiated in the 1990s that contracted wilderness rangers through the Swan Ecosystem Center to perform trail maintenance and visitor education. \"Without Anne's vision, there would not be any trails getting cleared or maintained or campsites being cleaned up,\" Lamar said.

Family members attended the award presentation; Steve Lamar spoke about Dahl's personality and local impact. Commissioners read a proclamation that states Missoula County \"do hereby proclaim Ann Dahl as the recipient of the 2025 Missoula County Land Stewardship Award,\" dated 07/24/2025 and signed by Commissioners Juanita Vero, Josh Lotnick and Dave Stromeyer.

The award was presented posthumously; presenters said Dahl's legacy includes conservation collaborations, on-the-ground stewardship of her 21-acre property and educational efforts that reached students and residents. The county presented Dahl's family with a plaque and a copy of the proclamation.

Commissioners invited the public to view a commemorative plaque and thanked Dahl's colleagues and family for attending the ceremony.","Missoula County commissioners proclaimed Anne Dahl the recipient of the 2025 Land Stewardship Award, recognizing her decades of conservation work in the Swan Valley including roles in the Swan Ecosystem Center, the Elk Creek Conservation Area and the Montana Legacy Project.","actionData","errors"]
