Missoula County commissioners approved a petition to annex a parcel at 4250 Edgewood Drive into the East Missoula Rural Fire District during a public meeting on July 21, 2025.

Anna Sharoki, a property records specialist with the Missoula County Clerk and Recorder's Office, told commissioners that "a petition to annex land into the East Missoula Rural Fire District has been submitted to the clerk and recorder." She said the parcel is legally described as Tract C2 of Certificate of Survey 4071, located in the south half of the southwest quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 13, Township 13 North, Range 19 West in Missoula County, Montana, and has a physical address of 4250 Edgewood Drive.

Sharoki said the petition was signed by property owners representing at least 40% of the acreage and 40% of the taxable value of the property to be annexed and that the notice of hearing was published twice in the Missoulian and that all property owners were notified. No representatives from the East Missoula Rural Fire District or named property owners appeared at the hearing.

A commissioner moved to approve the petition and a second was recorded. The presiding official called for any further discussion or public comment; after none was offered, the presiding official called for "all in favor," and the motion was approved.

The meeting also included a brief administrative note that the commissioner's office claims list for a two-month period totaled $11,241,532.63. No further actions or follow-up direction related to the annexation were recorded in the transcript.

What happened at the meeting was limited to the petition presentation, confirmation that statutory notice requirements had been met, and a formal vote to approve the annexation. The transcript does not record the names of the commissioners who moved or seconded the motion, individual vote tallies, or any conditions attached to the approval.
