Commissioners approve Rocky Mountain Development Council 2026–27 CSBG work plan
Summary
The Broadwater County Commission voted to approve Rocky Mountain Development Council’s 2026–27 Community Services Block Grant work plan, which covers meal programs, transportation, housing supports and Head Start services across several counties including Broadwater. Rocky reported 10,943 meals served in Broadwater County during fiscal year 2025.
The Broadwater County Commission voted April 1 to approve the Rocky Mountain Development Council’s 2026–27 Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) work plan, approving the nonprofit’s schedule of programs and outcomes for the coming year.
Lori Lattis, executive director of Rocky Mountain Development Council, gave an overview of services in the tri‑county area and asked for the county’s sign‑off on the work plan. "I'm Lori Lattis and I'm the executive director at Rocky Mountain Development Council," she said, and noted the agency’s senior nutrition and transportation programs across Lewis and Clark, Broadwater and Jefferson counties. Lattis reported that for fiscal year 2025 Broadwater County received 10,943 meals through meals‑on‑wheels and congregate dining.
Beth Brandon, deputy director, outlined the work plan structure and goals, highlighting education and youth development (Head Start/preschool), housing and emergency solutions grants for rapid rehousing, energy services, volunteer programs and organizational capacity standards. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about signatures and the submission process; Lattis said the governing body’s formal approval is all that’s required and staff will email the signed letter.
After discussion a commissioner moved to approve the Rocky Mountain Development Council request to adopt the 2026–27 CSBG work plan; another commissioner seconded the motion. The commission collectively signaled its approval by voice vote.
The approval allows Rocky Mountain Development Council to proceed with service delivery and to submit its signed work plan and supporting documents to the state as the county signatory. Rocky representatives said they will provide the attachment and follow up by email with the signed letter.
