The Stevensville Town Council recorded the following formal actions and recorded votes during its March 27, 2025 meeting. Where the transcript lists individual vote responses, those are shown; otherwise tallies are included.
- Approval of meeting minutes (Feb. 27, 2025): Motion passed 3-0. (Recorded responses: Councilor Barker Aye; Councilor Brown Aye; Councilor Percival/Smith Aye.)
- Approval of special town council meeting minutes for closed session (date in packet): Motion passed 3-0. (Recorded votes: councilors recorded as "I/Aye" in the transcript.)
- Approval of town council meeting minutes (March 13, 2025): Motion passed 3-0. (Councilors Burger/Brown/Swift recorded as "Aye" in the record.)
- Approval of biweekly claims (19563 through 19581): Motion passed 3-0 after limited discussion about specific claims (insurance increase at the airport, and a small-claims recovery). (Recorded votes: Barker Aye; Brown Aye; Smith Aye.)
- Utility easement agreement between Severson and the Town of Stevensville: Council amended the agreement to strike section 3 (temporary workspace/access) — amendment passed 3-0; council then approved the easement as amended — motion passed 3-0. (Recorded votes: Barker Aye; Brown Aye; Smith Aye.)
- Opening of RFPs and bids for a self-service fuel station at Stevensville Airport: Bids were opened and reviewed; Granite Petroleum Inc. identified as an apparent responsive bidder at $590,868; Energy Systems LLC submitted a numeric bid but omitted the written dollar amounts on the form and staff flagged that checkbox issue. The council voted 3-0 to forward both bids and checklists to the airport board for review rather than make an immediate award.
- Direction on tree-trimming RFPs (disaster-related): No bids were received; council directed staff to seek additional tree-trimming service providers and reissue the solicitation — motion passed 3-0.
- Resolution 532a (amending the town purchasing policy): Motion to adopt the resolution passed 3-0. (Recorded votes: Parker Aye; Brown Aye; Smith Aye.)
- CTAP grant: Council approved selecting Great West as the consultant for a growth-policy update under a CTAP grant and discussed kickoff schedule and outreach; council expressed support and set outreach and scheduling steps (vote recorded as approval 3-0 in the minutes).
- Budget workshops: Council approved budget workshop dates for April 9 and April 30, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. — motion passed 3-0 (Council member noted he would attend by Zoom on April 30 if needed).
- Administrative items: The council received notice of an FAA/Montana Aeronautics grant award for multiple airport work categories (dollar amounts read into the record), and the mayor read a letter of resignation from Council member Isaiah Ann Nelson; the council will advertise the vacancy per council rules.
