Commissioner proposes letter supporting Ponder County opposition to proposed well discharge
Summary
A Glacier County commissioner said the board should draft a letter supporting Ponder County's opposition to plans to "shoot water down" a local well and offered to locate a geocode to identify the landowner so staff can prepare a similar letter to one used in a previous Conrad matter.
A commissioner raised a request for the Glacier County Board of Commissioners to prepare a letter backing Ponder County's opposition to what the speaker described as plans to "shoot water down in that well." The commissioner said they had a geocode for the parcel ("3,000 something") and offered to provide it to staff or to "Mike" so the board could send a letter patterned on one the board sent in a prior Conrad matter.
The speaker framed the move as a matter of intergovernmental support, saying, "I think if we wrote kind of a similar letter and sent it to Raki, supporting their supporting them in their opposition of that since we did for Conrad." The presiding commissioner said the item likely needs to be placed on a future agenda for formal consideration.
The discussion produced no documented formal vote or decision at the meeting; commissioners agreed to pursue placing the request on a future agenda so staff could prepare the suggested correspondence. The transcript records the geocode only as an approximate figure and identifies the recipient of the proposed letter as "Raki," a name mentioned in the discussion but not clarified during the meeting.
Next steps: the speaker asked staff to look up the geocode or give it to Mike to draft a similar letter for agenda consideration.
