URA/TIF board to post draft minutes with disclaimer; member authorized to correct older minutes
Summary
Board approved posting draft unapproved minutes with a disclaimer and authorized Rose Nyman to attempt corrections to Jan. 6, 2025 minutes from her notes; County Attorney advised posting drafts due to lost recordings.
At its Feb. 11, 2026 meeting, the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County URA/TIF Board voted 5-0 to post draft versions of previously unapproved 2025 minutes with a disclaimer noting the drafts are unapproved and that audio recordings were lost. The County Attorney recommended the disclaimer approach after the recordings were reported lost due to user error.
Board member Rose Nyman offered to use her personal notes to correct the Jan. 6, 2025 minutes. Board member Kristy McKay moved to allow Nyman to prepare corrections and to post the disclaimer on existing minutes; the motion passed unanimously. Administrator Toni Hofland will post the disclaimer and coordinate the corrected drafts for board review.
Context and significance: Multiple 2025 meeting minutes (Jan. 6; Jan. 29; April 2; Sept. 18) were identified as missing or incorrect. Rose Nyman and the board discussed whether to post drafts while corrections are prepared; the board agreed that posting a clear disclaimer is appropriate until corrected minutes can be approved.
Next steps: Rose Nyman will attempt corrections from her notes and the administrator will post a disclaimer on the minutes currently on the website; the board will consider finalized corrections at a future meeting.
