Commissioners approve minutes, claims, consent agenda and letter supporting Canyon Creek flume repair
Summary
At the March 11 meeting the Yellowstone County commissioners approved minutes, several claims batches, the consent agenda and a letter of support asking for federal funds to repair the Canyon Creek flume; all motions passed by voice vote with no recorded roll call.
The Yellowstone County Board of County Commissioners on March 11 approved routine minutes and claims, amended the agenda to add a letter of support and voted to sign the letter backing federal funding for repair of the Canyon Creek flume on the BBWA Canal.
The board voted unanimously by voice to approve the minutes from March 4, 2025. A commissioner moved to modify the agenda to add a letter of support for the BBWA Canal (Canyon Creek flume) as item No. 2; that motion was seconded and approved.
A commissioner then moved that the board sign the letter of support for the Canyon Creek plume project. A staff member described the flume’s role: “that actually, if you go up on the backside of the rims there across Alkaline Creek, so that flume actually moves that water out to Shepherd that runs through the city of Billings and that and is absolutely essential in the operation of the ditch,” the staff member said. The motion to sign the letter passed by voice vote.
The board approved claims in batches (as reported at the meeting) and then approved the consent agenda and filed items. Meeting minutes record the claims described as batches 25, 114, 115, 116 and 117; no detailed breakout of individual claim amounts was provided in the verbal record.
All floor motions reported at the meeting passed by voice vote; no roll-call tallies or recorded dissent were given in the transcript.
