Summary
The Missoula City Council unanimously approved a consent agenda on Feb. 9 that included $1,037,129.16 in accounts payable, professional services agreements for sewer design ($224,811) and Fire Station 6 design ($125,000), renaming a pedestrian bridge for Bob Oaks and setting a Feb. 23 public hearing for Icon Apartment Homes.
Missoula City Council voted unanimously on Feb. 9 to approve a multi-item consent agenda that bundled vendor payments, consulting agreements, property namings and a scheduled public hearing.
The council approved accounts-payable checks totaling $1,037,129.16 and authorized two professional services agreements: one with Morrison Merley for the Clark Fork River sewer-improvement design at a cost not to exceed $224,811, and one with NE45 Architecture for programming and conceptual design work for Fire Station 6 not to exceed $125,000. Claire Trimble, the city clerk, read each consent item aloud before the council proceeded to a voice vote; the clerk announced the ayes and the presiding officer declared the motion passed unanimously.
The consent package also included a resolution supporting efforts to leverage investments for the 2026 Mullen area infrastructure development and extension project, and placed a phase-development and phasing-plan extension for Icon Apartment Homes at Dougherty Ranch (Phases 1 and 2) on a public hearing schedule for Feb. 23 and referred it to the Land Use and Planning Committee for presentation on Feb. 11. Council members approved renaming the North Side Pedestrian Bridge to the Bob Oaks Pedestrian Bridge, effective July 11, 2027, and adopted a resolution designating an open-space parcel acquired in August 2025 and now part of Kim Williams Natural Area as "Eagles Landing."
The council took the consent vote as a package; no members requested separation of items for individual consideration. The council did not record mover or seconder names on the public record during the voice vote.
What happens next: the Icon Apartment Homes matter is scheduled for a Feb. 23 public hearing; the contracts approved under the consent agenda proceed to execution as authorized by the motions.
