Commission approves consent agenda including grants, contracts and claims totaling $868,185
Summary
Gallatin County commissioners approved the consent agenda April 14, 2026, which included claims of $868,185.02 and multiple contracts and grant applications; one FY27 domestic‑violence grant application was pulled from consent by Court Services.
The Gallatin County Commission approved its consent agenda on April 14, accepting claims and multiple contract actions submitted by county staff.
The clerk read claims totaling $868,185.02 and listed warrants and EFTs for the April 9, 2026 claims voucher list. The consent package included contract actions and grant applications ranging from a Montana Board of Crime Control domestic violence intervention grant (FY27, $29,644) — which Court Services asked to have pulled because staff could not complete the application by the deadline — to a $1,822,107.04 CKMA service agreement for the Logan Landfill Compost System project and a $2,029.71 master service agreement for 3 Forks Airport engineering.
After staff clarifications on several line items and one removal requested by Steve Etta of Court Services, Commissioner (speaker 11) moved to approve the consent agenda with the specified amendments; the Chair seconded the motion and it passed 2–0.
What was approved: the amended consent agenda included claims, a juvenile detention grant application for $107,677, the Belgrade MVD office lease adjustment (bringing annual payment to $29,920), multiple contract extensions, and various grant applications and transfers as presented by staff.
Why it matters: the consent agenda confirms routine fiscal and contracting actions needed for county operations, and pulling the domestic‑violence grant application for additional staff work shows routine administrative checks prior to submission.
