Summary

Madam Chair Shey presented a motion read from the record to reconsider Resolution No. (number read on record) that would amend the county budget to appropriate unanticipated revenue from a U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance grant to fund the Butte-Silver Bow Veterans Treatment Court.
The resolution text, read into the record, described an amendment "after conducting a public hearing at a regularly scheduled meeting of the council of commissioners in accordance with section seven-six-four thousand and 6 MCA, appropriating unanticipated revenue from the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, BJA Grant, award number 15PBJA24GG03968VTCX, for the purpose of funding and enhancing the Butte Silver Bow Veterans Treatment Court and providing for an effective date."
Commissioner Thatcher moved to reconsider. A second was recorded but the seconding member was not named on the record. The motion carried on a voice vote. Commissioner Thatcher then moved to place the resolution on final reading; the motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote.
No individual roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript for the motions; the minutes show voice votes with the chair calling for "Aye" or "Opposed" and then announcing the motion carried.
Next steps identified in the meeting: with the motion placing the resolution on final reading passed, the resolution will appear for final consideration and any required formal adoption at a subsequent meeting. The transcript did not record the final adoption vote or any amendments to the grant language during the reconvened session.
