Broadwater County approves fire‑district appointment, minutes and three claims; grants QSC boundary relocation
Summary
The Broadwater County Commission approved an appointment to the Broadwater Rural Fire District Board, accepted minutes from July 2024 and approved three claims. The commission also approved a boundary‑relocation exemption for property owned by QSC Trust.
The Broadwater County Board of County Commissioners on March 26 approved several routine items including an appointment to the Broadwater Rural Fire District Board, the county’s minutes from July 3 and July 10, 2024, three claims totaling $162, (see details below), and a boundary‑relocation exemption requested by QSC Trust.
The commission voted to appoint Barbara (Barb) DeMartin to the Broadwater Rural Fire District Board to fill the remainder of the one‑year term vacated by Daniel Davis. The fire district’s board had requested the county make the appointment under Montana Code Annotated 7‑33‑2106; the district’s letter was signed by Tom Shindle, chairman of the Broadwater Rural Fire District Board of Trustees. The motion to appoint DeMartin was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
The commission also approved minutes from July 3 and July 10, 2024. Commissioners moved and seconded the motion and approved the minutes by voice vote.
Claims approved by the board were: - $14,912 (reported on the meeting agenda/claim packet as the first claim.) - $113,426.31 - $35,705.09 Each claim was moved, seconded and approved by a voice vote; the record shows the motions passed but does not list individual roll‑call vote tallies in the transcript.
Finally, the commission approved the QSC Trust boundary‑relocation exemption for parcels in Sections 11, 13 and 14, Township 6 North, Range 3 East (the QSC item is summarized further in a separate staff‑report article). The motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
