Summary
The committee voted unanimously to move Resolution 2026-16 — adopting a drought management plan prepared by Water and Environmental Technologies — to final reading; the plan will be implemented by a committee appointed by the chief executive.
Chairwoman Shea introduced Resolution 2026-16, a measure to adopt a detailed drought-management plan prepared by Water and Environmental Technologies (WET) for the City-County of Butte-Silver Bow.
Director Mark Neary, who previously presented the draft plan and led a public hearing, told the committee the next step is formal adoption and the formation of an implementation committee. "The plan has already kinda started, but it's just implementing it with the committee," Neary said, describing the implementation as an administrative step that will follow appointment of a management committee by the chief executive.
Commissioner Callahan moved to advance Resolution 2026-16 to final reading; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with "Aye" recorded and no opposition noted on the transcript. There were no roll-call tallies recorded in the meeting record.
The committee did not take a final adoption vote that evening; the motion sent the resolution to the next procedural step (final reading) where adoption will be decided.
