County Commission Update

Hi Folks,

We’ve had a few issues discussed at our regular meetings over the past couple of weeks. On April 25th we held a discussion about a locked gate on Rocky Road South of Boulder. We have had several requests to look at getting the road open again for Public use. It had been open and used by the Public for well over 100 years. This discussion will continue for the next few weeks. We designated Polling Places and appointed Election Judges for the Special Election on May 25th. We appointed Fire District Trustees and appointed the Election Audit Board. We also discussed issues about repairing the bleachers at the Fairgrounds.

On May 2nd we agreed to pay a stipend to Montana Tech for a water study in Clancy. Many wells in Clancy have elevated levels of Nitrates, some of them high enough to be lethal to infants. A Water and Sewer District has been formed. They are currently looking at having a Preliminary Engineering Report done to look at the feasibility of installing a new community water system. We also gave approval for a Large Group Function Permit for the Headwaters Country Jam.

A reminder that next week’s meeting will be at 6:00 pm in the Bordon’s Conference Room in Whitehall. At 6:30 we will have a Public Hearing regarding the creation of the Jefferson Valley Rural Ambulance District.

FYI: From Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-1592) influential writer of the French Renaissance; “There is no man so good that if he placed all his actions and thoughts under the scrutiny of the laws, he would not deserve hanging 10 times in his life.”
