Summary
At its July 28 meeting the Cascade County Commission approved purchase orders and accounts-payable warrants, adopted a multi-item consent agenda that included contracts and grant acceptances, and approved an appointment to the Great Falls Transit Board.
The Cascade County Commission on July 28 approved routine financial actions and a multi-item consent agenda and confirmed an appointment to the Great Falls Transit Board. A commissioner moved to approve purchase orders and accounts-payable warrants and the chair declared: "A Motion carries."
The commission then approved a consent agenda that included minutes for 06/17/2026 and 06/30/2026, reappointments to a DUI task force, a Lewis & Ellis actuarial engagement (annual cost $5,800 for FY2026 and $3,000 for FY2027), interlocal agreements for animal intakes, modifications to detention-center contracts with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and acceptance of a North Central Region juvenile detention subgrant totaling $264,504 (state award $132,252; county match $132,252). A commissioner read the consent items before the chair called the vote; the meeting transcript records assent and the chair confirmed the motion carried.
The commission also considered a city-designated appointment to the Great Falls Transit Board and a commissioner moved to appoint Shiloh Patera to a four-year term; the motion was carried during the meeting. The meeting record does not provide roll-call vote tallies by name for these motions.
