Grievance denied; employee termination upheld
Summary
A Flathead County hearing continued June 6 and voted to deny a grievance filed June 5, leaving the employees termination in place after a voice vote.
On June 6, 2025, Flathead County officials continued consideration of a personnel grievance and voted to deny it, leaving the employees termination in place.
The hearing, recessed from June 5 to allow review of testimony and documents, resumed with a motion to deny the grievance. A board member moved to deny the grievance, saying, "Madam chair, I have, reviewed all the information and I move to deny the grievance presented yesterday, June 5, which means that the employee remains terminated from employment. I will that." The chair then called for a vote by voice; after an affirmative response the chair said, "Motion carries. And we are adjourned."
The motion was presented as a formal resolution to uphold the prior termination. The transcript shows no recorded roll-call vote or named vote tally; the chair called for those in favor to say "Aye," and then declared the motion carried. The hearing record indicates the panel recessed June 5 specifically to consider the testimony and information introduced at that session and concluded the matter the following day.
No additional directions to staff, appeals timeline, or subsequent procedural steps were stated on the record during the June 6 session. The meeting ended immediately after the chair announced the motion carried and adjourned.
