MISSOULA — The Missoula City Council flew through its consent agenda items on Monday night as there weren’t many items on it — mainly the approval of subdivision phases, appointments to the animal control board and a contract for email security.
The biggest item on the Council’s agenda on Monday night was watching the legislation being debated by lawmakers in Helena.
Watch the full story:
Members are watching many bills including:
- HB 154: Furthering the city’s housing goals with the mobile home park purchasing.
- SB 96: A bill around working animals that goes against current city ordinances.
- SB 204: The sunsetting of voter-approved levies.
- SB 205: Requiring a minimum turnout for voter-approved levies.
- SB 209: Conservation easements.
Besides legislation at the state level, city officials are still wrapping their head around what President Trump’s memo about the funding freeze means for them.
The Missoula City Council is currently pausing hiring for any positions that are federally funded and waiting for more details from federal agencies that they work with.
