City Council confirms Owen Mayer to Board of Adjustment; vote unanimous
Summary
The Missoula City Council voted unanimously on May 12 to confirm the mayor’s appointment of Owen Mayer as a regular member of the City Board of Adjustment through June 30, 2026.
The Missoula City Council on May 12 confirmed the mayor’s appointment of Owen Mayer to the City Board of Adjustment, with a roll-call vote that recorded all present council members voting yes.
Councilor Nugent moved the confirmation. “I will put the motion on the floor. I move the council confirm the mayor's appointment of Owen Mayer to the city board of adjustments as a regular member with the term beginning immediately and expiring on June 2026,” Nugent said. Councilors then proceeded to a public-comment period on the appointment; no public comments were received on the item.
Council members spoke in support before the roll-call vote. Councilor Farmer said he had known Mayer “for a really long time” and called him an “engaged community citizen,” and Nugent noted the board will be especially relevant as code reform and land-use implementation proceed.
Trimble conducted a roll-call vote. Councilors Anderson, Becerra, Campbell, Carlino, Farmer, Jordan, Nelson, Nugent, Savage and Visigah were recorded as voting yes. The motion passed and the appointment takes effect immediately; the term is set to expire June 30, 2026.
Why it matters: The Board of Adjustment hears appeals and decisions related to local land-use regulation. Councilors said the board may play an increased role as code reform and the implementation of the new land-use statute proceed, but no changes to board authority were made on May 12.
No amendments or conditions were attached to the confirmation motion.
