Gallatin County Commission approves consent agenda, clears warrants and several contracts
Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting the Gallatin County Commission approved a consent agenda that included warrants and EFTs totaling $750,966.08, several contract amendments and procurement items, and set ballot-printing rates for 2026–27.
The Gallatin County Commission unanimously approved its consent agenda at the Feb. 3 meeting, accepting warrants and electronic funds transfers totaling $750,966.08 and authorizing multiple contract actions.
Aaron, a county staff member who read the consent materials into the record, listed a set of contract items including a Great West Engineering task order (task order 20) for bidding assistance and construction administration at the Logan Landfill tipping area ($30,000) and a construction agreement with Metal Works of Montana Inc. for Hanes Pavilion roof work (amount as read in the record contained inconsistent digits and is noted below). The consent packet also included contract 2023260 (cost-share agreement relating to highlighted roads) and a ballot-printing contract for calendar years 2026 and 2027 with per-ballot rates recorded in the packet as 6¢ for certain school/SBD elections and 7.6¢ for primary/general elections.
Commissioner (speaker 3) moved to approve the consent agenda as read; the motion was seconded and passed 3–0. No public comment was offered.
Why it matters: the approved items finalize near-term county payments and procurement steps, clearing staff to execute contracts and proceed with scheduled work. The ballot-printing rates set a vendor cost baseline for the county's upcoming elections.
Clarifying details: the packet identified EFTs and warrants totaling $750,966.08 and a Great West task order of $30,000. The Metal Works amount was read in the meeting with fragmented digits (the transcript records "$936,000 $853"); the file reference in the consent materials lists contract 2026 March construction agreement with Metal Works of Montana Inc. for the Hanes Pavilion roof project but the exact approved dollar figure should be confirmed with the clerk and recorder’s office (not specified in the spoken record).
