The Yellowstone County Board of County Commissioners took several formal actions April 25, adopting a proclamation for National Therapy Animal Day, approving a recruitment timeline for the county treasurer vacancy and passing routine claims and consent items.
Commissioner Morse read Resolution 23‑57 into the record, which recognizes Pet Partners therapy animal teams and proclaims April 30, 2023, as National Therapy Animal Day in Yellowstone County. Morse moved to adopt the proclamation and the motion carried.
The board also acknowledged a forthcoming vacancy in the treasurer's office. Kevin, a staff member who briefed the board, said the treasurer has submitted a resignation effective at the end of July and outlined a recruitment schedule: a position announcement and press release with an application deadline of May 23; interviews tentatively scheduled June 5–16; a board selection announced June 27 and swearing‑in on August 1. Kevin noted the base salary listed in the announcement is $86,293, subject to final comp‑board action and board review of compensation recommendations.
Commissioner Morse moved to approve the position announcement for the treasurer; the board approved the motion. The board also approved claims (numbers recited in the motion) and moved the consent agenda and file items to file.
The meeting concluded after brief public acknowledgment of a visitor and adjournment.
Actions recorded in the transcript do not include detailed roll‑call tallies; the transcript records voice votes with commissioners saying "Aye."
