Commission approves ambulance fees, recreation partnership, noxious-weed grant application and routine resolutions
Summary
The commission approved the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County ambulance/fire fee schedule, a jointly sponsored recreation agreement with the Anaconda School District, a $7,500 noxious weed trust grant application, multiple calendar resolutions, and reappointed Tammy Matson to the Historic Resource Board.
The Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Commission completed several routine items, approving fee schedules, grant applications and calendar resolutions.
The commission approved the county ambulance/fire fee schedule after prior review with staff and moved that the fee schedule be adopted. The commission also approved an agreement to jointly sponsor recreation programs with the Anaconda School District; the school district provides $4,000 to the county parks and recreation program to support the agreement.
The commission approved a Noxious Weed Trust Fund special-county reservation program enhancement grant application for $7,500 (the grant was described in the meeting as distributed annually, with roughly $5,000 for wages and $2,500 for benefits). Commissioners also approved resolutions establishing county holidays for calendar year 2026 and commission meeting dates for 2026; both were presented as routine and passed without debate.
Tammy Matson was reappointed to the Historic Resource Board following a recommendation by Terry LaValley and concurrence from commissioners. During miscellaneous business, CEO Everett warned of a high-wind weather advisory and noted preparations.
In public comment, resident Kevin Reno gave an update on Smelter City Estates: six structures are up, 18 lots sold, and two new homes anticipated next spring.
