Lincoln County postpones animal shelter fee schedule after notice requirement flagged
Summary
The board read a proposed fee schedule for the county animal shelter but postponed Resolution 2025-11 after the clerk/recorder advised that statutory public notice and hearing requirements had not been met; commissioners asked staff to complete notice and reschedule.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners read Resolution 2025-11 on May 21, which would establish licensing, impoundment, adoption, boarding and microchipping fees for the county animal shelter. The fee schedule included a range of licensing and adoption fees and daily boarding rates.
During the meeting a clerk/recorder advised the board that the statutory public-notice and public-hearing requirements under Montana code had not been fulfilled. In response, the board unanimously agreed to postpone consideration of the resolution until the required notice and hearing procedures are completed.
Commissioners directed staff to follow MCA public-notice rules and return the resolution for final action once the notice and hearing requirements have been satisfied.
