County approves consulting contract with John Fitzpatrick after attorney revisions
Summary
Anaconda‑Deer Lodge County commissioners voted 5–0 to approve a consulting services agreement with John Fitzpatrick, contingent on County Attorney Morgan Smith making agreed revisions to binding‑contract language.
Anaconda‑Deer Lodge County commissioners voted unanimously June 23 to approve a consulting services agreement with John Fitzpatrick after County Attorney Morgan Smith advised changes to the contract’s binding‑contract provisions.
Commissioner Ed Beaudette moved to approve the agreement “as set forth in the agreement with the understanding of the discussion concerning binding contracts be amended by the County Attorney,” and Commissioner Steve Gates seconded. The motion carried 5–0.
County Attorney Morgan Smith told the commission the work session raised concerns that should be addressed in the contract language before the county executes the agreement. The commission’s approval authorizes staff to proceed once those changes are made.
The vote was recorded as carried 5–0; no roll‑call names were recorded in the minutes. The commission did not note additional budgetary or timeline details for the engagement during the meeting.
The commission moved next to other agenda items; there was no public comment on the consulting contract.
