Broadwater County Parks & Recreation Board appoints new member, elects chair and sets follow-up items
Summary
The Parks & Recreation Board voted to accept a letter of interest and recommend a new member to the county commissioners, elected a new chair to take office at the next meeting, and tabled a bylaws review and project checklist to February while agreeing to draft letters of support for trail grant applications.
At its Jan. 12 meeting, the Broadwater County Parks & Recreation Board moved through routine business after hearing presentations from regional trail organizations.
The board accepted a letter of interest and voted to recommend a new member for appointment. The transcript records the board motion, a second and the chair's announcement "Motion passed." The applicant's surname is inconsistently recorded in the transcript (appears as both "Amy Currents" and "Amy Kearns"); county staff will route the recommendation to county commissioners for final approval and administrative processing.
Board members also addressed internal organization: the outgoing chair offered to step down and the board nominated Carol as chair (Carol accepted); the board agreed that the newly elected chair will assume duties at the next meeting. The board tabled a detailed bylaws and objectives review and a project checklist for further work at the February meeting and asked members to prepare feedback.
The board agreed to draft letters of support for the Trails Coalition's proposed toolkit grant and for the county's own Transportation Stewardship Program (TSP) submission. County staff advised the board to draft the letters and forward them to Commissioner Randolph (or the commissioners' office) for informal vetting and signature so they can be included in grant packets.
Procedural follow-up: staff will circulate bylaws and minutes drafts, collect candidate contact information for the new member appointment packet to the commissioners, and schedule the February agenda (possible alternate dates were discussed because Feb. 16 is Presidents' Day).
