Commissioners approve annexation of Collier Ridge Subdivision into Blue Creek Fire Service Area
Summary
Following a public hearing with no public comment, the Yellowstone County Board approved Resolution 25-38 to annex property known as the Collier Ridge Subdivision into the Blue Creek Fire Service Area after staff confirmed a statutory petition from property owners.
The Yellowstone County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 25-38 March 17 to annex property known as the Collier Ridge Subdivision into the Blue Creek Fire Service Area.
Derek, a county staff member, summarized the item for the board, saying the Blue Creek Fire Service Area Board of Trustees had submitted a petition from the property owners requesting annexation. Derek told commissioners there were two owners who signed the petition, and that state statute requires a public hearing; if, within 60 days after the hearing, opposition representing more than 50% of the affected property is not filed, the annexation proceeds.
The board opened the public hearing on Resolution 25-38, took no public comment and then closed the hearing. A commissioner moved to approve the resolution, a second was given, and the board approved the annexation by voice vote.
The annexation will expand the Blue Creek Fire Service Area to include the Collier Ridge Subdivision if no qualifying opposition is filed during the statutory period described on the record.
Derek's explanation on the record described the petition and the 60-day opposition threshold; the board recorded no public opposition during the hearing.
The board took the action during its March 17 meeting; staff said the statutory process will govern the effective date depending on whether opposition is received within the statutory period.
