Board appoints members to Swan Valley and West Valley community councils
Summary
The board appointed Wyatt Troll to a partial term on the Swan Valley Community Council and David Thompson to a partial term on the West Valley Community Council; staff encouraged a second candidate for Swan Valley to run in the next regular election.
The Missoula County board approved appointments to two neighborhood community councils and discussed encouraging candidates to run in the next regular election.
Maddie presented a request to appoint a member to the Swan Valley Community Council for a partial term through May 1, 2027. Two applicants — Wyatt Troll and James ("Jimmy") Webb — were named. A board member said both candidates were strong and suggested encouraging Webb to run in the spring filing window. The meeting record shows the board approved the appointment (voice vote), with participants saying "All in favor, aye."
The board then considered a partial-term appointment to the West Valley Community Council through May 31, 2026. Two applicants — David Glessner and David Thompson — were listed. A motion to appoint David Thompson was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Staff agreed to attach election filing information and to follow up with applicants about the filing window, which staff said typically runs from December through February though exact dates for the coming cycle had not been published. The meeting record indicates staff will check back with applicants and set reminders to prompt candidates to file when the county election office posts official dates.
The appointments were taken by voice vote; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally or names of the motion maker and seconder.
