Committee approves series of budget and grant resolutions and a tax-refund claim

At its Feb. 25, 2026 meeting the Silver Bow County Judiciary Committee moved multiple budget- and grant-related resolutions to final reading, each by unanimous committee votes.

Resolutions passed on 5-0 votes included:

- Resolution 2026-09: Budget amendment to appropriate unanticipated revenue from a contract for the Bridger MYWI Lift Program (public hearing and presentation by Karen Malochney had occurred at an earlier meeting).

- Resolution 2026-10: Budget amendment to appropriate contract revenue for a chronic disease program.

- Resolution 2026-11: Budget amendment to appropriate anticipated revenue for an H5N1 influenza A response program (public hearing previously held).

- Resolution 2026-12: Budget amendment to appropriate unanticipated revenue from an InterMountain Health Grant.

- Resolution 2026-13: Budget amendment appropriating revenue for multiple health department programs.

- Resolution 2026-14: Budget amendment appropriating funds for a syringe exchange program.

Additionally, the committee approved a claim to refund taxes for property that Schwarz Miller should not have been taxed on because of a surveying error. The transcript records the amount inconsistently (appearing as "in the amount of $1,2425" and later as "$1,24.25"); the committee approved the claim by voice vote. Because the transcript does not provide a clear, consistently recorded dollar figure, the exact refund amount is not specified in this account and should be confirmed from county claims records.

All items above were recorded on the committee docket as advancing to final reading or approved, and the meeting adjourned immediately afterward.
