Lincoln County approves $9,366.53 PILT payment for replacement checks and authorizes ARP operations hire
Summary
County approved a $9,366.53 payment from PILT funds to purchase replacement checks following a bank change and voted to approve hiring a fourth ARP operations staffer and promote an internal employee to operations manager; samples and monitoring will precede relocation of ARP materials to a new site.
County treasurer explained that First Montana would not bond amounts above $250,000, prompting the county to open a new warrant account with Glacier Bank; the switch required ordering new checks for multiple small districts and entities. Commissioners moved and approved a $9,366.53 payment from PILT funds to cover replacement checks and related expenses.
Separately, an ARP representative requested approval to add a fourth operations employee and to promote an existing staff member (Steph) to operations manager. Commissioners questioned the specific day-to-day duties and monitoring responsibilities for materials at a former port-authority property; staff said sampling of the proposed new location is underway, with lab turnaround expected to inform next steps. The board approved the hire and promotion with the vote recorded as having one opposed.
