Broadwater County Parks and Rec Board recommends two members to commissioners, adopts bylaws
Summary
At its April 30 meeting in Townsend, the Broadwater County Parks and Recreation Board recommended two applicants for appointment to the board and voted to accept revised bylaws, which will be forwarded to the county commissioners for signature on May 14.
The Broadwater County Parks and Recreation Board on April 30 voted to forward recommendations to the county commissioners that Wendy Gravely and Carol Hatfield be appointed to the board and approved final acceptance of the board's bylaws for the county's review.
The board, convened and chaired by Jen Dalerpa, approved minutes, then moved to consider applicants to fill two vacancies. Members voted to recommend Wendy Gravely to the Broadwater County commissioners; a separate motion to recommend Carol Hatfield passed as well. Each recommendation passed by voice vote, recorded by the chair as three ayes (the meeting roster showed three voting members present).
The board also voted to give final acceptance to its revised bylaws and agreed to forward the document to the Broadwater County commissioners for their decision and signature on May 14. Chair Jen Dalerpa said the board's role is advisory and that the commissioners will need to sign the bylaws as noted on page 8 of the document. Board members noted the bylaws can be revised later by placing changes on a future agenda.
Why it matters: The recommendations, if confirmed by the county commissioners, will fill vacancies on the county's parks advisory body. Accepting and forwarding bylaws formalizes the board's advisory role and gives community groups a clear document to cite when seeking grants and local support.
Meeting details and next steps: The board recorded the votes by affirmation during the meeting; Dalerpa said the recommendations and bylaws will be reflected in the meeting minutes and placed on the commissioners' agenda for May 14. The board's next regular meeting was scheduled for May 19.
Votes at a glance: - Approval of minutes: Approved by voice (three ayes). No names recorded in the transcript as the motion mover/second beyond generic board affirmation. - Recommendation to commissioners to appoint Wendy Gravely: Approved by voice (three ayes). - Recommendation to commissioners to appoint Carol Hatfield: Approved by voice (three ayes). - Final acceptance of bylaws (to be forwarded to commissioners for signature May 14): Approved by voice (three ayes).
The board's chair and members said the bylaws and the forthcoming master plan will help community groups when applying for grants, and they noted the document is a living record that can be updated as needs change.
