Missoula council adopts electric-vehicle infrastructure plan resolution on 8–2 vote
Summary
The City Council adopted a resolution supporting the intent and strategies of the 2025 Missoula Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan after separating the consent item for a roll-call vote; the consent package otherwise passed unanimously.
The Missoula City Council voted 8–2 on Sept. 8 to adopt a resolution supporting the intent and strategies in the 2025 Missoula Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan, a consent-item resolution that had been pulled for a separate roll-call vote.
Councilor Basica requested separation of item 8.6 from the consent agenda for a recorded roll call; she said she had previously explained her reasoning for opposing the plan at a committee meeting. The remaining consent items were approved by voice vote earlier in the meeting.
During the roll call on item 8.6 the recorded responses were, in order called by the clerk: Anderson (yes); Becerra (yes); Campbell (no); Carlino (yes); Jones (yes); Jordan (yes); Nelson (yes); Newton (yes); Cheryl (yes); and a final recorded “no” on the roll call for the member announced as "Novosecond." The clerk announced, "That item had 8 in favor, 2 opposed, and it does pass." The council did not record a motion maker or seconder on the floor for the roll call vote during the meeting minutes read at the dais.
The consent agenda (items 8.1–8.5 and 8.7–8.8) passed earlier by voice vote. Those consent items included ratifying accounts payable checks dated Sept. 2, 2025, for $1,894,857.19 and approving accounts payable for Sept. 9, 2025, for $1,791,089.32; contracts listed included a $119,250.60 contract with Williams Civil Construction LLC for Duncan Trailhead parking construction and a professional services agreement with Stridepoint for utility-billing software described as “cost not to exceed $849,000” in the consent summary read aloud. Other contract totals in the reading were unclear in the audio record and are reported as not specified in the meeting packet.
City staff and the clerk read the consent-list items into the record and invited public comment on the consent agenda prior to the votes; one resident asked questions specific to the long-range transportation plan included on the consent agenda. The adopted EV plan resolution expresses council support for the plan’s intent and strategy; the resolution language was included in the meeting packet read by the clerk.
