Granite County commissioners voted Oct. 28 to appoint Charlene Bucha as the county—s representative to the Big Sky Passenger Rail Authority.
The commissioners moved and seconded the appointment after reviewing letters of interest and a letter of support. Commissioner comments emphasized Bucha—s prior service in local government and familiarity with regional boards. "We've known her to be fair, to be concise, and diligent," a commissioner said, citing Bucha—s prior role leading the local forest service region.
During public comment, Elena Gagliano said she had previously served on the passenger-rail authority and submitted a petition of 22 residents who wanted the county to remain involved; she asked that her qualifications be considered. "I still will be a volunteer and continue to attend all their meetings," Gagliano said.
A commissioner noted the county had discussed reengaging with the authority and said the board supports the county—s renewed participation. After no further public comment, the commissioners took a recorded voice vote; the chair announced, "All in favor: Aye. Motion carried."
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript. Commissioners said they would notify the authority and forward paperwork to implement the appointment.
