Summary
The board read and approved Resolution 2025-18 to annex Little Bear Flat Subdivision and listed tracts into the Troy Rural Fire District, citing compliance with Montana Code Annotated procedures and noting no protest petitions were filed at the prior hearing.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners voted on May 7 to approve Resolution 2025-18 annexing the Little Bear Flat Subdivision and specified tracts into the Troy Rural Fire District.
County staff read the resolution's opening language and legal findings, citing compliance with Montana Code Annotated procedures and public-notice requirements. The resolution states the trustees of the Detroit Rural Fire District presented a petition that met statutory requirements and that no protest petitions were submitted at the public hearing held in April and May as required by MCA 7-33-2125.
A commissioner moved to adopt Resolution 2025-18 and the board voted in favor. The resolution as read directs the clerk and recorder's office to record the annexation and the board noted that, because no valid protest petitions were filed, the statutory process allows approval.
