Big Horn County commissioners approve resolutions to meet Department of Revenue and Crow Tribal Legislatures
Summary
At its Jan. 12 meeting in Hardin, the Big Horn County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved two resolutions authorizing a quorum to attend an off-site meeting with the Montana Department of Revenue at the Big Horn Center and to meet with the Crow Tribal Legislatures in Crow Agency on Jan. 13–14, 2026.
The Big Horn County Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 12, 2026, unanimously approved two resolutions authorizing a quorum of the board to attend off-site meetings with state revenue officials and with Crow Tribal Legislators.
Commissioner Larry Vandersloot moved to approve Resolution 2026-9, which the resolution text describes as authorizing a quorum to attend a meeting with the Montana Department of Revenue at the Big Horn Center; Commissioner Lawrence Big Hair seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The enacted text of Resolution 2026-9 states the meeting will be held Jan. 13, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Big Horn Center, 210 N Mitchell, Hardin. (An earlier recital line in the same document lists Jan. 13 at 10:30 a.m.; the minutes contain both time references.)
Vandersloot also moved to approve Resolution 2026-10, authorizing a quorum of the board to meet with the Crow Tribal Legislatures. Commissioner Big Hair seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Resolution 2026-10 states the meeting is scheduled for Jan. 14, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the County Administration Building, 144 Makawasha Ave., Crow Agency, Montana. The resolutions direct that public notice be posted in conformity with MCA 7-1-2123.
The resolutions cite statutory authority for the board's actions, including MCA 7-5-2101(1) (the board's jurisdiction and care of county affairs) and MCA 7-5-2122(3) (authority to designate another meeting time or place by resolution). Deputy Clerk and Recorder Peri Schenderline attested to the resolutions in the minutes.
The minutes also record routine business: approval of claims numbered 1171 and approval of Jan. 6, 2026 minutes, each passed unanimously. The document includes an adjournment line and a heading for a public-comment section, but no public-comment testimony is recorded in the transcript provided.
The board did not include additional policy or fiscal details about the meetings in the recorded minutes. The resolutions commit only to attendance and specify meeting dates, times, locations, and a posting requirement; no votes on county expenditures or policy changes related to those meetings were recorded.
