Missoula County commissioners approve consent agenda including $50,000 match for downtown library green roof and renewal of bond-disclosure contract
Summary
The Missoula County Board of Commissioners approved a three-item consent agenda that included an interlocal agreement with the City of Missoula to provide roughly $50,000 from the county as a match for a Department of Natural Resources and Conservation grant to install a green roof on the downtown library, and the renewal of the county's disclosure-services contract for bond issuances.
Missoula County commissioners approved a consent agenda that included an interlocal agreement with the City of Missoula to provide county matching funds for a green roof on the downtown library and the renewal of a contract for bond disclosure services.
A staff member told commissioners the City of Missoula's stormwater program won a grant from the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation to install a green roof on the new downtown library. "It's called a green roof, but in essence, it helps to absorb the water as opposed to it all running off the flat roof of the library and then out into the storm water system," the staff member said, and added that the grant covers the majority of the cost. The city and county were each asked to contribute about $50,000 toward the match to secure the grant, and the interlocal agreement allows the county to transfer its share to the city for that purpose.
A commissioner asked for clarification about a separate consent item listed as "disclosure services." A staff member explained that disclosure services are the documents and supporting materials prepared when the county issues bonds, describing the county's financial status and accompanying required statements. The staff member said the contract under consideration was the same as in prior years and that they had reviewed it in the absence of a colleague.
After those brief explanations, a commissioner moved to approve the consent agenda and another commissioner seconded. There was no public comment. The chair called the vote, commissioners voiced their assent, and the consent agenda was approved.
The meeting record shows the items were approved as part of the consent agenda; details about the contract vendor for disclosure services and a precise vote tally were not specified in the discussion recorded in the transcript. The board proceeded to the next agenda item following the vote.
