Butte-Silver Bow council appoints Marcee Cameron interim coroner
Summary
After interviewing candidates at the May 20 meeting, the council appointed Marcee Cameron as interim coroner effective that evening; the motion passed unanimously (10-0). The appointment follows charter requirements to fill a vacancy within 60 days.
The Butte-Silver Bow Council of Commissioners on May 20 approved Marcee Cameron as interim coroner, effective immediately and continuing through the election season.
Council Chairman John Morgan moved to appoint Cameron under the council’s authority in section 5.02(c) of the Butte-Silver Bow Charter, noting that four applicants applied but three did not appear for the interview. Hattie Thatcher seconded the motion and the vote was 10-0.
Morgan explained the appointment timeline: "As set for by section 5.02, subsection (c) of the BSB Charter, we need to appoint a new coroner within 60 days of the vacancy," and said Cameron answered interview questions at the start of the meeting. The council did not set additional conditions; the appointment was presented as an interim placement pending the election process.
No public opposition to the appointment was recorded in the meeting minutes and the motion passed unanimously.
The council’s action fulfills the immediate need for coroner services without delaying scheduled electoral procedures.
