Missoula County approves two partial-term appointments to rural fire districts
Summary
Missoula County commissioners approved two volunteer firefighter-board appointments: Jack Ballas to a Missoula Rural Fire board through May 31, 2027, and Dr. Melody Cunningham to Missoula Rural Fire District through May 31, 2026. Both were approved by voice vote; tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
Missoula County commissioners approved two partial-term appointments to local fire districts during their regular meeting.
Staff told the commission there was one applicant for a board vacancy on a Missoula Rural Fire board: Jack Ballas, proposed to fill a partial term through May 31, 2027. The presiding officer called for a motion and a second, and the commission approved the appointment by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The commission also approved an appointment to the Missoula Rural Fire District. Staff reported one applicant, Dr. Melody Cunningham, for a partial term through May 31, 2026. Commissioners moved and seconded the item and approved the appointment by voice vote; again, no detailed tally appears in the transcript.
The actions were handled as routine consent items in the meeting sequence and prompted brief, collegial exchanges among commissioners and staff. The transcript does not record votes by name or counts for these specific motions. The meeting moved on to other agenda items after the approvals.
