Commission appoints interim acting county attorney; motion passed unanimously
Summary
The commission appointed Matthew C. Enruth as interim acting county attorney after the incumbent's resignation. Commissioners moved, seconded and recorded a unanimous vote; the appointee currently serves as a deputy county attorney and resides outside the county.
Anaconda-Deer Lodge County commissioners voted Aug. 27 to appoint an interim acting county attorney to fill a vacancy created by the incumbent's resignation. The commission considered applications; staff said no county-resident attorneys applied and that a deputy county attorney who resides in a neighboring county (identified in the record as Matt/Matthew Enruth) submitted an application.
The CEO endorsed the candidate and described positive working relationships with the deputy. "He's been absolutely fantastic working with the rest of the staff of the county," the CEO said in support of the appointment. Commissioner Burdette moved to appoint an interim acting county attorney by the name stated in the record; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Gallagher and the chair announced the motion passed unanimously.
The transcript contains inconsistent spellings of the appointee's last name in different utterances (transcribed as Enruth in several places and Mannoroff in the motion text). The commission recorded the appointment and congratulated the appointee; the appointment covers the remainder of 2024 unless the newly elected county attorney assumes office sooner.
