Council approves annexation of JB's Tires parcels along US Highway 2
Summary
The Libby City Council voted to approve Resolution 2055 to annex two parcels for JB's Tires after a public hearing and planning-and-zoning recommendation; no public opposition was recorded and staff will file the annexation with county and state agencies.
The Libby City Council on a unanimous voice vote approved Resolution 2055 to annex two parcels for JB's Tires along U.S. Highway 2.
Planning and zoning had recommended approval and staff said the annexation was an owner-initiated request tied to earlier utility connections associated with a 2020 water-system improvement project. City staff outlined the procedural history: a petition was received in March 2025, planning and zoning recommended approval in April, and the council previously passed an intent-to-annex resolution before publishing public notices in the Western News.
Mr. Sides summarized the background for the hearing, explaining the parcels are described in Section 4, Township 30 North, Range 31 West (certificate of survey 4869) and noted parcel sizes (approximately 1.140 acres and 0.464 acres as stated in the record). With no members of the public offering comment during the hearing, the council returned to the table and voted to adopt Resolution 2055. The mayor confirmed the motion carried.
Staff said the annexation documentation will be filed with the county clerk and recorder the following day and forwarded to the state Department of Revenue and the Department of Transportation for tax and mapping updates.
The council did not amend the resolution during the meeting. Next steps are administrative filing and map updates; counsel and staff will follow the statutorily required recording steps.
